Introdução: A cefaleia pós punção dural (CPPD) é uma complicação da punção lombar, um procedimento que, apesar de bem tolerado, está sujeito a adversidades, ocorrendo devido a um vazamento persistente do líquido cefalorraquidiano (LCR) do local da punção dural. A incidência de CPPD pode estar relacionada às características dos pacientes e dos procedimentos. Notou-se que em mulheres jovens até 30 anos, o risco de CPPD é maior quando comparado aos homens, não apresentando diferença a partir da quinta década de vida. Objetivo: investigar os diferentes sintomas e efeitos gerados pelos diferentes tipos de agulha, como calibre e modo de inserção, que visem reduzir a CPPD. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática de literatura realizada no período de 2 de agosto a 20 de novembro de 2023 por meio de pesquisas no PubMed. Foram utilizados os descritores: "Post-Dural Puncture Headache" e suas variações do MeSH, sendo submetidos aos critérios de inclusão: estudos em humanos, nos últimos 10 anos, ensaios clínicos e ensaios clínicos controlados e randomizados. Para garantir a qualidade da revisão sistemática foi aplicada a lista de verificação PRISMA de 2020. Resultados: Após investigação estatística, observou-se que as agulhas 25W e 25S demandaram maior tempo médio para a coleta de LCR (15 e 7 min, respectivamente). Ao se comparar 25W com 20Q (3 min), 22S (5 min) e 25S quanto à esta variável, observouse diferença significativa em todas as comparações. Conclusão: As agulhas do tipo atraumática foram associadas com redução do risco de desenvolvimento de CPPD quando comparadas às convencionais. Foi constatado que, dentre as agulhas convencionais, a traumática de 25G é melhor para a prevenção de CPPD que a de 22G.
Introduction: Post-Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH) is a complication of lumbar puncture, a procedure that, despite being well-tolerated, is subject to adversities, occurring due to a persistent leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the site of dural puncture. The incidence of PDPH may be related to patient and procedural characteristics. It has been noted that in young women up to 30 years old, the risk of CPPD is higher compared to men, with no difference between sexes from the fifth decade of life onward. Objective: To investigate the different symptoms and effects generated by different types of needles, such as gauge and insertion method, aiming to reduce CPPD. Methods: Is a systematic literature review conducted from August to October 2023 through searches on PubMed. The descriptors "Post-Dural Puncture Headache" and its MeSH variations were used. A total of 1,839 articles were found, which were then subjected to inclusion criteria: studies conducted in the last 10 years, controlled trials, and randomized clinical trials. Results: After statistical investigation, it was observed that the 25W and 25S needles required a longer average time for cerebrospinal fluid collection (15 and 7 minutes, respectively). When comparing 25W with 20Q (3 minutes), 22S (5 minutes), and 25S regarding this variable, a significant difference was observed in all comparisons. Conclusion: Atraumatic needles were associated with a reduction in the risk of developing CPPD compared to conventional needles. It was found that among conventional needles, the traumatic 25G needle is better for preventing CPPD than the 22G needle.

Objective To explore a precise method with a microwave antenna for puncture of pulmonary nodules and analyze phenomena that affect the puncture results. Methods Clinical data of 107 cases with solitary malignant pulmonary nodules were collected, and the mean length of pulmonary nodules was 13.6±0.6 mm in CT axial position. A thread-hanging method was used to assist the puncture of pulmonary nodules. The procedure was successful when the needle was not withdrawn and inserted into the central region of the nodule. The success rate and complications of the pulmonary procedure were recorded. The incidence of the following phenomena were also documented: needle coercing, needle slipping, needle tip pushing, pulmonary nodule prolapsing, radial nodule deformation, nodular masking, and radial movement distance of needle tip. Results In all of 107 cases evaluated, the antenna puncture was successful in 101 cases (94.4%) but failed in 6 cases (5.6%). Pneumothorax and pulmonary hemorrhage occurred in 23 (21.5%) and 19 cases (17.8%), respectively. The following phenomena occurred: needle coercing in 9 cases (8.4%), needle slipping in 6 cases (5.6%), needle tip pushing in 19 cases (17.8%), pulmonary nodule prolapsing in 15 cases (14%), radial nodule deformation in 14 cases (13.1%), and nodular masking in 5 cases (4.7%). The mean radial adjusting distance of needle tip was 0.7±0.4 cm. Conclusion The thread-hanging method can assist in the accurate puncture of microwave antenna for pulmonary nodules. We should focus and deal with phenomena that may occur and affect the result of puncture.

Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH) remains a prominent clinical concern to the present day and common complication seen in the field of anesthesiology and pain medicine. Identification of such risk factors is a crucial step in the rational modification of anesthetic practice and evaluation of therapeutic interventions. This study was conducted to demonstrate the incidence and risk factors of PDPH in patients after spinal Anesthesia during three days' post operations at general hospital in Tripoli, Libya. In this study certain factors related to patient history, baseline clinical state or anesthetic technique might be associated with an increased risk for this side effect, so it was collected historical, physiologic, and technical data to determine their association with PDPH. Out of total of 100 patients distributed over 5 different hospitals admitted over a period (from November 2020 to April 2021) 27% of them have a PDPH, while 92.5% of cases with PDPH are females, that 55.6% of PDPH cases are between 20 and 25 years old, and this percentage getting smaller as patients get older, most of the operations were caesarean section, at a rate of 58%, followed by lower abdominal surgeries with 19% of cases, and orthopedic surgeries with 17% of cases, while the lowest percentage was for the Urologic surgeries. 55% of cases with PDPH are classified as (case I), and 44% of them are classified as (case II), 81.5% of PDPH cases used noncutting needles. In this study the PDPH remains the most problem in hospitalized patients after spinal Anesthesia at Tripoli hospitals can be caused by variety of risk factors, associated with ASA physical states, nonprofessional technique, the females are more common than males and the percentage increasing in early age group

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of trans-nasal Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) block over other treatments for Post-Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH) management. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted on databases for Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) comparing trans-nasal SPG blockade for the management of PDPH over other treatment modalities. All outcomes were pooled using the Mantel-Haenszel method and random effect model. Analyses of all outcomes were performed as a subgroup based on the type of control interventions (conservative, intranasal lignocaine puffs, sham, and Greater Occipital Nerve [GON] block). The quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. Results: After screening 1748 relevant articles, 9 RCTs comparing SPG block with other interventions (6 conservative treatments, 1 sham, 1 GON and 1 intranasal lidocaine puff) were included in this meta-analysis. SPG block demonstrated superiority over conservative treatment in pain reduction at 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h after interventions and treatment failures with "very low" to "moderate" quality of evidence. The SPG block failed to demonstrate superiority over conservative treatment in pain reduction beyond 6 h, need for rescue treatment, and adverse events. SPG block demonstrated superiority over intranasal lignocaine puff in pain reduction at 30 min, 1 h, 6 h, and 24 h after interventions. SPG block did not show superiority or equivalence in all efficacy and safety outcomes as compared to sham and GON block. Conclusion: Very Low to moderate quality evidence suggests the superiority of SPG block over conservative treatment and lignocaine puff for short-term pain relief from PDPH. PROSPERO Registration: CRD42021291707.

Background: Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH), formerly known as post-lumbar puncture headache, is a well-known adverse event that follows diagnostic and/or therapeutic puncture of the dura, or accidentally, following spinal anesthesia. Material & Methods: This prospective study was carried out on 152 patients at Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital in Bogura, from 2013 to 2015 and North Bengal Medical College from 2016 to 2022, Bangladesh. Results: A total of 152 patients were enrolled into the study where 122(80.3%) were aged between 18-28 years, 30(19.7%) were 29-39 years, 38(25%) were male and 114(75%) were female. 122(80.3%) patients were non obese (<25) and 30(19.7%) were obese (>25). 17(11.2%) patients had previous history of anaesthesia and 17(11.2%) had previous history of PDPH. On majority 100 patients were used big size needle (18-23 G) and rest of the patients were used small (23-25G). 146 (96.1%) patients position was lateral and 92(60.5%) were used less than two or equal three drops. 61(40.1%) patients were needed one attempt, 64(42.1%) were needed two and 27(27.8%) were needed greater than two. The prevalence of PDPH was found in 44(28.9%) cases out of 152 where severity of 29(65.9%) percent was mild, 20(45.5%) cases headache onset were at the first day and mean duration of headache was 2.6. There was a statistically significant association between development of PDPH and younger age (26.3±8.7 years vs 32.6±7.4, p< 0.001), female gender (p=00.009), previous history of PDPH (p<0.001), number of attempts (3.1±1.2 vs 1.2±0.8, p<0.001), small needles (p=0.04), pre LP headache (p<0.001) and CSF RBS (2.6±2.1 vs 13.8±1.3, p= 0.48). Conclusion: This study recommends that the neurologists should be treating this population in the manner so that it may help to prevent this painful adverse event, and identification of risk variables is vital in predicting PDPH.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Syphilis is a major public health issue worldwide. In people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV), there are higher incidences of both syphilis and neurosyphilis. The criteria for referring PLHIV with syphilis for lumbar puncture is controversial, and the diagnosis of neurosyphilis is challenging. OBJECTIVE: To describe the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of infectious disease specialists and residents in the context of care for asymptomatic HIV-syphilis coinfection using close-ended questions and case vignettes. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study conducted in three public health institutions in São Paulo (SP), Brazil. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we invited infectious disease specialists and residents at three academic healthcare institutions to answer a self-completion questionnaire available online or in paper form. RESULTS: Of 98 participants, only 23.5% provided answers that were in line with the current Brazilian recommendation. Most participants believed that the criteria for lumbar puncture should be extended for people living with HIV with low CD4+ cell counts (52.0%); in addition, participants also believed that late latent syphilis (29.6%) and Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) titers ≥ 1:32 (22.4%) should be conditions for lumbar puncture in PLHIV with no neurologic symptoms. CONCLUSION: This study highlights heterogeneities in the clinical management of HIV-syphilis coinfection. Most infectious disease specialists still consider syphilis stage, VDRL titers and CD4+ cell counts as important parameters when deciding which patients need lumbar puncture for investigating neurosyphilis.

Abstract Dural puncture is either diagnosed by unexpectedly profound response to medication test dose or development of a postpartum postural headache. Epidural blood patch is the gold standard for treatment of PDPH when conservative management fails. However, postpartum headaches can be resistant to multiple epidural blood patches. In such cases, preexisting intracranial processes should be considered and ruled out. We report here the unique case of a pregnant patient who developed a resistant headache in the postpartum period related to an incidental intracranial aneurysm. Subsequent treatment with endovascular embolization adequately relieved her symptoms. Early surgical consultation and a multidisciplinary team approach involving neurology and neuroimaging is required for successful management of patients such as the one described here.

Abstract Background Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication of neuraxial techniques which delays patients' discharge. Sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) is a safe bedside technique with comparable efficacy to Epidural Blood Patch, the gold-standard treatment. There is no evidence on the ideal timing for SPGB performance. We aimed to evaluate the difference between early versus late SPGB concerning efficacy, symptom recurrence and hospital length of stay. Methods We present an observational study with 41 patients diagnosed with PDPH who were submitted to SPGB with ropivacaine 0,75%. The study sample (n = 41) was divided in two groups: an early (less than 24 hours after diagnosis) and a late (more than 24 hours after diagnosis) SPGB group. Pain was evaluated 15 minutes after the block and follow up occurred daily until patients were discharged. Patients' demographic characteristics, neuraxial technique, timing of SPGB, qualitative pain relief and post-SPGB length of stay were registered and analyzed with SPSS statistics (v26) software. Results Early SPGB resulted in a significant reduction in length of stay (p = 0,009) and symptom recurrence (p = 0,036), showing equally effective pain relief, compared to late SPGB. Conclusions SPGB was equally effective in both groups. Data showed that early SPGB reduces length of hospital stay and symptom recurrence, which potentially allows early resumption of daily activities and a reduction in total health costs.

@#ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of multiple punctures on the quality of inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine made from Sabin strains(sIPV)in 5-dose vials.MethodsPre-puncture samples were sampled by opening the cover from 3batches of sIPV stored for about 24 months and balanced at room temperature at least 20 min;The same three batches of sIPV were punctured for the first to fifth needle on the 0,7,14,21 and 28 d respectively,which were balanced at room temperature at least 20 min before each sampling. After sampling,the remaining samples were returned to 2～8 ℃ for preservation. According to the requirements of enterprise registration standard(YBS01052021),all the samples before and after the fifth needle puncture were tested,and the other 4 needle puncture samples were tested for pH,osmotic molar concentration,aseptic test,bacterial endotoxin,D antigen content of typeⅠ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ virus,appearance,abnormal toxicity,protein content and 2-phenoxyethanol content. The relative change rates of 2-phenoxyethanol content,protein content,osmotic molar concentration and D antigen content of typeⅠ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ virus were calculated. SPSS 20 software was used to analyze the relative change rate of each index by one-way ANOVA,and the effect of multiple punctures on the quality of sIPV was evaluated.ResultsThe result of each test item was in compliance with enterprise registration standard before and after each puncture. There was no significant difference between each puncture on the relative rate of change of 2-phenoxyethanol content,protein content,D-antigen content of typeⅡ and Ⅲ virus(F = 2. 125,1. 155,1. 137 and 1. 882,P = 0. 152,0. 386,0. 393and 0. 190,respectively);There was a significant difference in the relative change rate of osmotic molar concentration and Dantigen content of TypeⅠvirus(F = 4. 750 and 4. 010,P = 0. 021 and 0. 034,respectively). The result of Duncan test showed that compared with the first puncture,the relative change rate of osmotic molar concentration after the second and third puncture showed no significant difference,while that after the fourth puncture showed significant difference and a relatively stable result was observed after the fifth puncture. Regarding the relative rate of change of D-antigen content of TypeⅠvirus,there was no significant difference among the first,second,fourth and fifth punctures,while a significant difference existed between the third and the other four punctures.ConclusionFive punctures within 28 days had no effect on the quality of sIPV in 5-dose vials.

【Objective】 To investigate the risk factors and predictive effectiveness of prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) score for patients with clinically significant prostate cancer (CsPCa) whose PI-RADS score was 3, so as to provide evidence for the diagnosis and treatment. 【Methods】 The clinical and multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) data of 153 CsPCa patients treated during Jan.2017 and Dec.2021 whose PI-RADS score was 3 were retrospectively analyzed. With PI-RADS score of 3 as the independent risk factor for CsPCa, the other relevant independent risk factors in predicting CsPCa were evaluated. 【Results】 Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density and apparent dispersion coefficient (ADC) were independent risk factors for the diagnosis of CsPCa (P<0.05). Analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that combined PSA density and ADC were more effective than PSA density and ADC alone (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The combination of PSA density and ADC can guide clinicians to identify high-risk CsPCa patients from patients with PI-RADS score of 3 points.

Objective @#To investigate the clinical efficacy and application value of an improved 3D-printed guide plate for the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN) by percutaneous microballoon compression (PMC). @*Methods @# This prospective study included 42 patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia treated at the Department of Stomatology, Xuzhou Central Hospital, from September 2019 to January 2022. The group was divided by the random number table method into the experimental group (adopting 3D printing technology to make guide plates to guide the puncture, 22 cases) and the control group (adopting the traditional Hartel anterior approach to position the puncture, 20 cases). The intraoperative success rate of the first puncture, puncture time, operative time, radiation exposure of patients and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Postoperative Barrow Neurological Institute Scale (BNI) scores, facial numbness, diminished corneal reflexes and chewing weakness were recorded. The t-test, rank-sum test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis, with P<0.05 indicating a statistically significant difference. @*Results @#The experimental group was significantly better than the control group in terms of the success rate of the first puncture (χ2 = 21.51, P<0.001), puncture time (Z = -5.51, P<0.001), operative time (t = 9.37, P<0.001), and the number of C-arm scans (Z = -4.59, P<0.001). Postoperative BNI scores of the experimental group included 21 cases of grade Ⅰ (91.5%) and 1 case of grade Ⅱ, while the control group included 17 cases of grade Ⅰ (85.0%), 2 cases of grade Ⅱ (10.0%) and 1 case of grade Ⅲ (5.0%), with no statistical significance (P>0.05). In the experimental group, 16 patients had postoperative masseter weakness, 1 had keratitis and 10 had perilabial herpes, while in the control group, 18 patients had postoperative masseter weakness, 2 had keratitis, 11 had perilabial herpes and 1 had monocular blindness. There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05). At 12 months of follow-up, there was no recurrence in either the experimental or control group. @* Conclusions @#3D digital guide plate-guided percutaneous microballoon compression for primary trigeminal neuralgia can improve the accuracy and safety of puncture to a certain extent, obviously shorten the operation time, reduce radiation exposure of the patients, improve the success rate of the operation, meaning it has a high clinical application value.

Objective:To investigate the effect of local anesthesia in patients with a PI-RADS score of 5 and ECOG score ≥2 for prostate puncture.Methods:Retrospective analysis of case data of 33 patients admitted to the Subei People's Hospital for prostate puncture from April 2020 to April 2022. Age (82.5±3.6) years. There were 18 cases with hypertensive disease, 8 cases with diabetes mellitus, and 6 cases with both diabetes mellitus and hypertensive disease. Body mass index (25.2±3.5) kg/m 2. prostate-specific antigen (PSA)(131.5±69.7) ng/ml. prostate volume (38.5±21.4) ml. all patients had a PI-RADS score of 5 on multiparametric magnetic resonance (mpMRI) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ≥2. All 33 cases in this group underwent trans-perineal targeted prostate puncture using local anesthesia at the tip of the prostate. The visual analog score (VAS) and visual numeric score (VNS) were applied by the same surgeon to assess the patient's pain level and satisfaction at the time of puncture (VAS-1 and VNS-1) and 30 min after puncture (VAS-2 and VNS-2), and to record the duration of the procedure and the occurrence of postoperative complications. Results:In this group of 33 cases, the VAS-1 score was (1.9±0.3) and the VAS-2 score was (0.1±0.2); the VNS-1 score was (2.9±0.2) and the VNS-2 score was (3.9±0.1). Postoperative pathological results indicated that one of the 33 patients had a negative puncture result (pathology report indicating interstitial inflammation), while the rest of the patients had a positive puncture pathology report (puncture pathology report indicating prostate cancer), with a positive rate of 97%. One case of postoperative carnal haematuria occurred, which gradually improved after the patient was advised to drink water and take alpha-blockers. No perineal hematoma occurred, and all patients did not suffer complications such as urinary tract infection, urinary retention, azoospermia, vagal reaction, and infectious shock.Conclusion:In patients with a PI-RADS score of 5 and ECOG score ≥2, the use of single-hole local anesthesia for performing trans-perineal targeted puncture biopsy has the advantages of good paroxysmal pain and high safety.

Objective:To analyse the clinical efficacy and outcome of early abdominal paracentesis drainage (APD) in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods:The clinical data of 107 SAP patients with massive abdominal fluid in Shanghai General People Hospital from May 2017 to December 2021 were collected and analyzed. Patients were divided into APD group ( n=56) and NO-APD group ( n=51) according to whether they underwent APD or not within 3 days after admission. The APD group was then divided into abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) subgroup ( n=29) and NO-ACS subgroup ( n=27) according to whether ACS had occurred or not at the time of puncture. Patients' general data, the duration of systemic inflammatory response (SIRS), length of ICU stay, the trends of intra-abdominal pressure and inflammatory indicators (white blood cell count and the content of C-reactive protein) within 1-3 days after admission, incidence of infection complication, step-up therapy, discharge or death were recorded. Results:The intra-abdominal pressure were 18.6±5.6mmHg , 13.7±4.2mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kpa) in APD group and NO-APD group, respectively. The intra-abdominal pressure of APD group was significantly higher than that of NO-APD group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.000). Compared with NO-APD group, the duration of SIRS was significantly shortened in APD group [3(2, 4) days vs 4(3, 6) days, P=0.029]. On day 1, 2 and 3 after admission, the intra-abdominal pressure was 18.6±5.6 mmHg, 16.4±4.7 mmHg and 13.5±3.9 mmHg in APD group, and was 13.7±4.2 mmHg, 12.3±3.6 mmHg and 11.0±2.6 mmHg in NO-APD group, respectively. The intra-abdominal pressure of the APD group dropped faster than the NO-APD group ( P=0.004). The white blood cell count was (14.8±4.8), (10.5±4.5) and (9.0±3.8)×10 9/L in APD group, and was (14.2±5.4), (12.3±7.3), (11.7±5.3)×10 9/L in NO-APD group, respectively. Compared with the NO-APD group, the decrease rate of white blood cell count was faster in APD group ( P=0.006). The C-reactive protein content was (153.6±47.1), (150.4±10.5) and (108.8±49.4)mg/L in APD group, and were (174.8±31.1), (191.6±29.4) and (186.8±45.5)mg/L in NO-APD group . The content of C-reactive protein in APD group decreased significantly, while that in NO-APD group did not decrease. There was a significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.009). In the subgroup comparisons, the duration of SIRS in the ACS subgroup was significant longer than that in the NO-ACS subgroup [4(3, 5) days vs 2(1, 3)days, P=0.000]. Compared between the two groups and two subgroups respectively, there were no statistically significant differences on length of ICU stay, infection complication rate, advanced treatment rate and mortality. Conclusions:For SAP patients with abdominal fluid, APD in the early stage could shorten the duration of SIRS, decrease intra-abdominal pressure rapidly, improve inflammatory indicators, but could not improve the clinical outcome.

Objective:To determine the 50% effective concentration (EC 50) of ropivacaine plus sufentanil for labor analgesia using the dural puncture epidural technique. Methods:Using the method of prospective study, sixty parturients requiring labor analgesia in Dalian Women and Children′s Medical Group from May 2021 to May 2022 were divided into six groups using a random number table and administered 0.3 mg/L sufentanil and ropivacaine at different concentrations: 0.05% (group D1), 0.06% (group D2), 0.07% (group D3), 0.08% (group D4), 0.09% (group D5), and 0.1% (group D6). A probit model was constructed to compute the EC 50 values and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of ropivacaine plus sufentanil in dural puncture epidural analgesia (DPEA) for labor. The pain intensity of uterine contractions before labor analgesia and 30 min after administration was recorded and assessed on a numeric rating scale (NRS), and decreases in blood pressures and heart rates, vomiting and nausea, postpartum headaches, and fetal bradycardia were documented. Results:When using ropivacaine plus sufentanil for labor analgesia via DPE, the EC 50 was 0.061%, and the 95% CI ranged from 0.051 to 0.067; the 90% effective concentration (EC 90) was 0.081%, and the 95% CI was between 0.074 and 0.098. Among the six groups, there was one case of fetal bradycardia in group D3 and one case of decreased heart rates in group D4. No decreased blood pressure, vomiting and nausea, or postpartum headaches were reported. Conclusions:In DPEA for labor, ropivacaine plus sufentanil has an EC 50 of 0.061%, with the 95% CI falling between 0.051 and 0.067, similar to the EC 50 value in epidural analgesia.

Objective:To study the efficacy of laparoscopic ovarian cyst aspiration in the treatment of neonatal simple ovarian cyst.Methods:From August 2019 to December 2021, infants with neonatal simple ovarian cyst receiving laparoscopic ovarian cyst aspiration in the Department of Pediatrics of Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child-care Hospital were retrospectively studied. The clinical characteristics, age of surgery, operation duration, length of hospital stay, complications and follow-up were analyzed.Results:A total of 6 full-term infants were included. Simple ovarian cysts were located on the right side of the body in 5 cases and on the left in 1 case. The average cyst diameter was (6.1±1.4) cm, the surgery were performed at 2~5 d of age, the average duration of the surgery was (18.8±2.4) min and the average hospital stay was (5.3±1.0) d. No complications occurred before or after surgery. All the 6 infants had favorable growth and development. The ovarian cysts were all enlarged again in 1 month after surgery, then gradually shrunk at 3 to 6 months after surgery and completely resolved in 2 cases.Conclusions:Neonatal simple ovarian cysts are more common on the right side of the body and laparoscopic ovarian cyst aspiration has good and safe clinical efficacy.

Objective To propose a new multi-joint series venipuncture system, explore the mechanics and kinematics-based related control problems involved in needle insertion and needle picking during the puncture process, and verify feasibility of this system. Methods A puncture manipulator was built, and needle displacement control algorithm was proposed by combing with the puncture mechanics model. The the forward kinematics was calculated by using DH method, so as to obtain the tip coordinates. Then the inverse kinematics was calculated by using the geometric method. The forward and inverse processes were closely connected. The position error of the end coordinates before and after needle picking was compared by using the method of kinematics positive solution-inverse solution-re-positive solution. Finally, experimental verification and simulation were conducted by combining with the physical object. Results Through simulation and experiments, accuracy of the theoretical model was verified. The needle insertion algorithm could be used to achieve success with only one needle insertion, which provided theoretical basis for the control of robot arm. The position error before and after needle picking could be controlled within 1 mm from the end trajectory. The end needle tip of robot arm was almost kept fixed during the needle picking process. Therefore, this needle picking scheme was feasible and could basically verify that the needle picking action of robot arm met the accuracy and safety requirements. Conclusions The venipuncture manipulator truly simulates the needle insertion and needle picking action during the puncture process, and can safely and accurately realize the needle insertion and needle picking action with needle tip as the fixed point, indicating that it has certain clinical value.

Objective:To investigate the application value of CT-guided localization with medical glue or puncture needle before thoracoscopic pulmonary ground-glass nodule resection.Methods:The clinical data of 92 patients who underwent localization before thoracoscopic resection of pulmonary ground-glass nodules in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital from June 2019 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the preoperative localization method, the patients were divided into puncture needle group (52 cases) and medical glue group (40 cases). The localization success rate, localization time and incidence rate of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The success rate of localization in both groups was 100%. In puncture needle group, the guide wire of 1 case (1.9%) prolapsed, but it did not affect the surgical resection. The localization time of puncture needle group and medical glue group was (18±6) min and(14±5) min, and there was a statistical difference between the two groups ( t = 3.06, P = 0.003). The incidence of bleeding and pneumothorax in medical glue group was lower than that in puncture needle group [12.5% (5/40) vs. 38.5% (20/52), χ2 = 7.70, P = 0.009; 35.0% (14/40) vs. 71.2% (37/52), χ2 = 11.96, P = 0.001]. The incidence rate of irritating cough in was higher than that in puncture needle group [50.0% (20/40) vs. 11.5% (6/52), χ2 = 16.50, P < 0.05]. Conclusions:CT-guided localization with medical glue or puncture needle can achieve satisfactory results in the localization of pulmonary ground-glass nodule before thoracoscopic resection and help to improve the accuracy of surgical resection. The incidence rates of bleeding and pneumothorax of medical glue localization are lower than those of puncture needle localization.
