    Abstract Objective: This study aims to investigate the management strategies for acute cholecystitis in the third trimester of pregnancy by comparing the effectiveness of three different treatments.
    Methods: Clinical data of 102 patients with acute cholecystitis in third trimester of pregnancy admitted to three Tertiary Hospitals from January 2010 to June 2020 were collected and divided into 3 groups according to the primary treatment during their first hospitalization: Group A (surgical group; n = 11), Group B (percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGD) group, n = 29) and Group C (conservative treatment group, n = 62). The length of stay, readmission rate, and preterm delivery rate of each group were analyzed retrospectively.
    Results: The average age of patients included in this study was 29 ± 2.16 years with an average gestational cycle of 35.26 ± 1.02 weeks. The readmission rates of patients in groups A, B, and C were 9.09%, 24.14%, and 58.06%; the preterm delivery rates were 9.09%, 3.45%, and 12.90%; and the length of stay was 4.02 ± 1.02 days, 12.53 ± 2.21 days, and 11.22 ± 2.09 days, respectively. The readmission rate was lower in group A than in groups B and C, the preterm delivery rate was lower in group B than in groups A and C, and the length of stay was shorter in group A than in groups B and C (all with statistically significant differences, P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: Patients with acute cholecystitis in late pregnancy need to be appropriately graded for severity and offered a sound treatment strategy after a thorough assessment of the condition while taking into account the willingness of the patients. For patients with mild severity, conservative treatment can be adopted; for patients with moderate or severe inflammation, PTGD can be performed first for symptom control, and wait till after delivery for surgery to be considered; and in some cases of critical condition and poor symptom control, surgical intervention should be promptly performed.

    Abstract Background: Accurate preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules is crucial for surgical treatment. The use of indocyanine green (ICG) for localization is prone to thoracic contamination and spread, resulting in the eventual failure of localization. By using medical glue combined with ICG, we can accurately and permanently locate various tissues in animal study, which can provide evidences for clinical translations.
    Methods: A series of medical glue and ICG volume ratios of 2:3, 3:3, 4:3, 6:3, and 9:3 were mixed and injected immediately into subcutaneous tissues of BALB/c nude mice; either medical glue or ICG was injected singly in the control group. Fluorescence intensity over time and boundary sharpness were investigated to determine the optimal ratio. Then, fluorescence guided resection of tissue was performed
    Results: The localization agents with a volume ratio of 4:3 showed the best boundary sharpness and the strongest photostability. With the guidance of fluorescence navigation, the marked tissues were accurately separated and removed from the surrounding tissue both on mice and on pig intestines. In the organs of living mice, the localization agents (ratio 4:3) realized accurate positioning of marked tissues. Additionally, the medical glue limited the diffusion of ICG, promising to enable more stable and precise positioning of the nodules during surgery.
    Conclusions: The combination of ICG and medical glue presents a superior approach when compared to the individual use of either ICG or medical glue. This technique offers enhanced precision and durability and sealed the wound, thereby mitigating the risk of pneumothorax following puncture procedures. This innovative technique optimizes the properties of medical adhesive to augment tissue density while harnessing the real-time fluorescent endoscopic marking capabilities of ICG during surgical interventions. By employing this innovative technique, it holds significant promise for augmenting the accuracy of pulmonary nodule localization in thoracoscopic surgery within future clinical applications.

    Abstract In a linear compressor, the valve motion significantly affects the thermodynamic efficiency and the compressor’s reliability, especially in oil-free conditions. To better understand the dynamic behavior of the discharge valve, a real-time test bench was built. The piston movements and dynamic pressure in the cylinder were also observed to obtain the synchronizing characteristics among the reed valve motion, cylinder pressure, and piston motion. Observing the motion of the discharge valve visually, the discharge valve flutters due to the change in the form of the cylinder pressure, the delayed opening of the valve is caused by the inertia of the valve itself, and additional displacement fluctuations are present. This paper presents the dynamic behavior of the discharge valve under different discharge pressure/operating frequency/piston stroke/clearance length conditions. The results show that the valve flutters increase, the mean displacement of the valve increases, and the duration of the discharge increases when the discharge pressure decreases. When the operating frequency increases, the duration of the discharge decreases, while the mean displacement of the valve increases. For a high stroke or a low clearance length case, the duration of the discharge increases, while the valve flutters increase due to the pressure fluctuations in the cylinder. Through analyzing the synchronizing characteristic among the valve movements, piston movements, and cylinder pressure, it is shown that the phenomenon of the delayed opening valve is much worse for a low stroke or a high operating frequency case. In addition, the delayed closing of the valve appears for a high operating frequency case (75 Hz).

    Abstract Background: Complete tumor removal is critical for achieving a good prognosis in patients but remains challenging for surgeons. Near-infrared fluorescence-guided surgery (NIRFGS) enables surgeons to accurately localize tumors in real time and facilitates accurate resection. Indocyanine green (ICG) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the National Medical Products Administration for many years. Although the application of ICG has progressed for a variety of surgeries, there are inherent limitations to ICG, including poor water solubility and photostability, short blood half-life, and aggregation in blood, resulting in poor imaging performance. We found that mixing ICG with human serum albumin (HSA) preoperatively and then injecting it can improve the imaging performance.
    Methods: We prepared fluorescent probes by combining ICG with HSA and identified their optimal ratio via
    Results: Through
    Conclusions: This study suggests that ICG-HSA can achieve higher tumor-to-background contrast with shorter time and can provide an overall superior imaging performance compared to ICG alone, thus exhibiting considerable potential for clinical application.

    Abstract Background: Surgical operation plays an important role in the treatment of cancer. The success of the operation lies in the complete removal of the primary and disseminated tumor tissue while preserving the normal tissue. The development of optical molecular image navigation technology has provided a new option for intraoperative tumor visualization. In this study, a fluorescence imaging navigation system was used to detect the diameter of mice tumors and provide experimental evidence for the further development of digital diagnosis and treatment equipment.
    Methods: The minimum detection concentration in vitro of the fluorescence imaging navigation system for indocyanine green (ICG) was first detected, then 120 female Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice and 120 female BALB/c nude mice were randomly divided into three groups by weight, high-dose (H, 4 mg/kg), middle-dose (M, 2 mg/kg), and low-dose (L, 1 mg/kg) groups of ICG solution. After inoculating solid tumors, high, medium, and low doses of ICG were injected via the tail vein, and the tumor diameter was measured by a fluorescence imaging navigation system and vernier caliper within 24 hours of injection.
    Results: The minimum detectable diameter of the system could reach 0.2 mm compared with the vernier caliper, and the actual measurement error was within 0.2 mm.
    Conclusions: A fluorescence imaging navigation system has high accuracy and sensitivity in the application of tumor detection, which may assist the clinical diagnosis and treatment of tumors.

    Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by high prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide; and its subtype, HCC, accounts for nearly 80% of cases. HCC progresses rapidly, and to date, there is no efficacious treatment for advanced HCC. Tetraspanins belong to a protein family characterized by four transmembrane domains. Thirty-three known tetraspanins are widely expressed on the surface of most nucleated cells and play important roles in different biological processes. In our review, we summarize the functions of tetraspanins and their underlying mechanism in the life cycle of HCC, from its initiation, progression, and finally to treatment. CD9, TSPAN15, and TSPAN31 can promote HCC cell proliferation or suppress apoptosis. CD63, CD151, and TSPAN8 can also facilitate HCC metastasis, while CD82 serves as a suppressor of metastasis. TSPAN1, TSPAN8, and CD151 act as prognosis indicators and are inversely correlated to the overall survival rate of HCC patients. In addition, we discuss the potential of role of the tetraspanin family proteins as novel therapeutic targets and as an approach to overcome drug resistance, and also provide suggestions for further research.
