Objective:To investigate the application value of three-dimensional (3D) recons-truction combined with endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in preoperative accurate evaluation of biliary tract neoplasms.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinico-pathological data of 19 patients with biliary tract neoplasms who underwent 3D reconstruction combined with EUS in the Shangdong Provincial Third Hospital from January 2019 to October 2022 were collected. There were 13 males and 6 females, aged 64(range, 35-75)years. All patients underwent preoperative abdominal enhanced computer tomography (CT) thin-slice scan with 3D reconstruction combined with EUS. Some patients further received other endoscopic techniques such as intraductal ultrasonography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or SpyGlass cholangioscopy to obtain tumor tissues for histopathology evaluation. The surgical implementation protocol was developed based on the results of 3D reconstruction and EUS. Observation indicators: (1) results of 3D reconstruction; (2) results of EUS; (3) comparison between preoperative surgical protocol and actual intraoperative conditions. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and count data were described as absolute numbers and/or percentages. Results:(1) Results of 3D reconstruction. Results of 3D reconstruction in 19 patients with biliary tract neoplasms showed morphology of the liver, bile ducts, pancreas, blood vessels, and duodenum, including 4 cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma, 14 cases of middle and lower cholangiocarcinoma, and 1 case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The accuracy of 3D reconstruction in 19 patients was 18/19. (2) Results of EUS. All 19 patients underwent preoperative EUS, including 7 cases obtained tumor tissue for histopathology evaluation, with the results indicating abnormal hyperplasia or malignant tumor. The rate of histopathology evaluation was 7/19, with the sensitivity as 7/7. Of 19 patients, results of EUS in 2 cases indicated positive of lymph node metastasis, but results of postoperative histopathology evaluation indicated negative of lymph node metastasis in lymph node specimens. Results of EUS in the rest of 17 cases indicated negative of lymph node metastasis, but results of intraoperative laparoscopic exploration on 1 case indicated extensive intra-abdominal metastasis. (3) Comparison between preoperative surgical protocol and actual intraoperative conditions. Of 19 patients, 18 cases underwent radical resection and 1 case underwent bile duct drainage, with the compliance rate between preoperative surgical protocol and actual intraoperative conditions as 18/19. The volume of intraoperative blood loss in the 18 cases receiving radical resection was 336(range, 50-1500)mL. Two cases had postoperative complications.Conclusion:Results of 3D reconstruction combined with EUS can accurately map the the size, location, extent of bile duct invasion, and adjacent relationships of surrounding tissues of malignant biliary tract neoplasms, for preoperative accurate evaluation and surgical planning.

BACKGROUND@#There is still uncertainty regarding whether diabetes mellitus (DM) can adversely affect patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for carotid stenosis. The aim of the study was to assess the adverse impact of DM on patients with carotid stenosis treated by CEA.@*METHODS@#Eligible studies published between 1 January 2000 and 30 March 2023 were selected from the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials databases. The short-term and long-term outcomes of major adverse events (MAEs), death, stroke, the composite outcomes of death/stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) were collected to calculate the pooled effect sizes (ESs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and prevalence of adverse outcomes. Subgroup analysis by asymptomatic/symptomatic carotid stenosis and insulin/noninsulin-dependent DM was performed.@*RESULTS@#A total of 19 studies (n = 122,003) were included. Regarding the short-term outcomes, DM was associated with increased risks of MAEs (ES = 1.52, 95% CI: [1.15-2.01], prevalence = 5.1%), death/stroke (ES = 1.61, 95% CI: [1.13-2.28], prevalence = 2.3%), stroke (ES = 1.55, 95% CI: [1.16-1.55], prevalence = 3.5%), death (ES = 1.70, 95% CI: [1.25-2.31], prevalence =1.2%), and MI (ES = 1.52, 95% CI: [1.15-2.01], prevalence = 1.4%). DM was associated with increased risks of long-term MAEs (ES = 1.24, 95% CI: [1.04-1.49], prevalence = 12.2%). In the subgroup analysis, DM was associated with an increased risk of short-term MAEs, death/stroke, stroke, and MI in asymptomatic patients undergoing CEA and with only short-term MAEs in the symptomatic patients. Both insulin- and noninsulin-dependent DM patients had an increased risk of short-term and long-term MAEs, and insulin-dependent DM was also associated with the short-term risk of death/stroke, death, and MI.@*CONCLUSIONS@#In patients with carotid stenosis treated by CEA, DM is associated with short-term and long-term MAEs. DM may have a greater impact on adverse outcomes in asymptomatic patients after CEA. Insulin-dependent DM may have a more significant impact on post-CEA adverse outcomes than noninsulin-dependent DM. Whether DM management could reduce the risk of adverse outcomes after CEA requires further investigation.

In this paper we did some comparisons between YY0505-2005 and IEC 60601-1-2 edition2.1, and concluded that they are identical in respects of testing items and methods, but significantly different in respects of classification, essential performance and risk analysis. Some suggestions about the transformation and implementation of edition 2.1 standards in our country were proposed.
