    Abstract Skull base osteomyelitis is a rare, refractory, and potentially fatal disease primarily caused by otogenic and sino rhinogenic infections. At times, it can mimic neoplasia complicating the diagnosis. With the use of antibiotics, advancements in diagnostic methods, and skull base surgical techniques, the mortality rate has significantly improved. However, the successful diagnosis and treatment of the disease is still challenging due to delayed diagnosis, lengthy treatment course, a tendency for relapse and lack of guidelines. Therefore, this article aims to review the progress in the diagnosis and treatment of skull base osteomyelitis.

    Abstract The available evidence on the relationship between serum uric acid and triglycerides in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is limited. The objective of this study is to investigate whether there is an independent association between serum uric acid and triglycerides in ccRCC, while adjusting for other variables. This cross-sectional study involved 1018 participants with ccRCC, who were admitted to a hospital in China from December 1st, 2013 to January 1st, 2023. The main independent variable investigated was serum uric acid, which was measured at baseline. The dependent variable was triglycerides. Covariates considered in this study included age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes, coronary disease, High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Total cholesterol, Blood urea nitrogen, and Creatinine. The study included 1018 participants with an average age of 56.92 ± 10.88 years old, and approximately 68% of them were male. The fully-adjusted linear regression analysis indicated a positive association between serum uric acid levels (100μmol/L) and triglyceride levels (mmol/L) after adjusting for confounding factors (β = 0.13, 95% CI [0.07, 0.18]). Furthermore, a smooth curve was constructed between serum uric acid and triglycerides based on the fully-adjusted model. In patients with ccRCC, there was a positive association between serum uric acid and triglycerides.

    Abstract Background: In recent years, open nephron sparing partial nephrectomy (OPN) has been gradually applied and generally accepted. Recent statistical data show that PN not only can safely and effectively preserve the functional nephron, but also has fewer complications, low local recurrence rate and no significant difference in long-term survival rate compared with nephrectomy/radical nephrectomy, which has gradually become a routine treatment for small renal cell carcinoma. Therefore, how to maximize the protection of postoperative residual renal function (RRF) and reduce the risk of CKD while achieving the ideal local and overall tumor control effect is the key to the treatment of renal cancer, and is also the focus of attention of urologists and nephrologists.
    Objective: To evaluate the safety of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN) by investigating the perioperative indicators and postoperative follow-up.
    Methods: A total of 40 hospitalized patients in our hospital from December 2019 to December 2021 were selected and followed up for a long time. Patients with renal tumors less than 4cm in diameter and exogeneous or partial exogeneity were randomly divided into 2 groups. Patients in retroperitoneal laparoscopic group (n = 20) were treated with nephron sparing partial nephrectomy (0.5-1cm). Twenty patients underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN).The time of removal of drainage tube, drainage volume, time of feeding activity and postoperative hospital stay were recorded, and the safety of the operation was evaluated.
    Results: nephron sparing partial nephrectomy is suitable for patients with localized renal carcinoma or benign tumor <4cm. RLPN can be applied to all indications of open nephron sparing partial nephrectomy (OPN), with good safety, and can preserve residual renal function to the greatest extent. The operative vascular occlusion time was controlled within 40 minutes, and the use of renal function protection measures during the operation was safe and controllable in reducing the prevention of warm ischemic kidney damage, with good safety. The renal tumor capsule with 0.5cm~1cm margin was complete by postoperative pathology. In the process of tumor resection and suture collection system in the RLPN group, we improved the previous operation of "resection before hemostasis" to "resection while hemostasis" and "knot-free suture" technology, which saved the operation time of intracavity suture knotting. Reduced cortical tear caused by vertical pull during knot tying. The combined effect of biological clip and hemostatic gauze can stimulate the granulation proliferation of renal cortical wound and accelerate the repair. With the combination of knot-free suture and renal segment vascular occlusion, hot ischemic kidney damage is reduced. In the RLPN group, there were no complications of urinary fistula and bleeding, and no abnormal changes in renal function during follow-up. The safety of RLPN group is worthy of affirmation.
    Conclusion: The perioperative safety and short-term postoperative renal function recovery of RLPN are good, and the overall safety of this operation is worthy of affirmation.

    Abstract As a by-product of pomegranate processing, the recycling and reuse of pomegranate pomaces (PPs) were crucial to environmentally sustainable development. Ultrasound-assisted aqueous two-phase extraction (UA-ATPE) was applied to extract the anthocyanins (ACNs) from PPs in this study, and the central composite design response surface methodology (CCD-RSM) and artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) models were utilized to optimize the extraction parameters and achieve the best yield. The results indicated that the ANN-GA model built for the ACN yield had a greater degree of fit and accuracy than the RSM model. The ideal model process parameters were optimized to have a liquid-solid ratio of 49.0 mL/g, an ethanol concentration of 28 g/100 g, an ultrasonic time of 27 min, and an ultrasonic power of 330 W, with a maximum value of 86.98% for the anticipated ACN yield. The experimental maximum value was 87.82%, which was within the 95% confidence interval. A total of six ACNs from PPs were identified by utilizing UHPLC-ESI-HRMS/MS, with the maximum content of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside being 57.01 ± 1.36 mg/g DW. Therefore, this study has positive significance for exploring the potential value of more by-products and obtaining good ecological and economic benefits in the future.

    Abstract The selective transmembrane permeation of sodium ions achieved by biomimetic chemistry shows great potential to solve the problem of sodium ion transport blockade in diseases, but its implementation faces enormous difficulties. Herein, we design and synthesize a series of helically folded nanopores by employing a quinoline-oxadiazole structural sequence to finely replicate the pentahydrate structure of sodium ions. Surprisingly, these nanopores are capable of achieving sodium transmembrane permeation with ion selectivity at the level of natural sodium channels, as observed in rationally designed nanopores (

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of psoriasis patients toward the disease.
    Methods: A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among psoriasis patients who were diagnosed at the outpatient of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital in March 2023. A self-designed questionnaire was administered for data collection and KAP assessment.
    Results: A total of 526 valid questionnaires were included, including 257 males (48.86%) psoriasis patients. Their mean KAP scores were 8.09 ± 3.60 (possible range: 0-12), 31.94 ± 4.61 (possible range: 10-50), and 51.92 ± 8.83 (possible range: 15-75), respectively. Pearson's correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between knowledge and attitude (
    Conclusion: Psoriasis patients have good knowledge, positive attitude, and proactive practice toward the disease. Education, medication, duration of psoriasis might have effect on their KAP.

    Abstract Herein, we describe an effective strategy for synthesizing polythioethers with a well-defined structure through the cationic polymerization of thiirane with electron-withdrawing substituents. This strategy allows for precisely controlling the regio- and stereochemistry of the ring-opening polymerization of 2-phenylthiirane, thus allowing for producing poly(2-phenylthiirane) with high stereoregularity using enantiomeric pure thiirane.

    Abstract Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-induced osteoporosis, myasthenia, and disequilibrium are important risk factors for hip fracture, and decreased respiratory function after hip fracture surgery can decelerate recovery of activities of daily living (ADL) in elderly patients.
    Case presentation: A 90-year-old male patient underwent an open reduction and intramedullary pinning surgery for right femoral intertrochanteric fracture. After surgery, he remained confined to bed with pain and swelling in the right lower extremity. Due to his history of COPD, he had a postoperative pulmonary infection and respiratory insufficiency.
    Intervention: This patient received routine rehabilitation after surgery. However, severe respiratory symptoms prevented him from completing the rehabilitation procedure. Therefore, comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation including airway clearance techniques, inspiratory resistance training, aerobic training, respiratory muscle training, and intermittent low-flow oxygen inhalation was carried out to enhance the recovery process.
    Outcomes: After 4 weeks of treatment, the patient improved from continuous oxygen inhalation to being able to complete bed resistance training without supplemental oxygen. After 8 weeks, ADL reached independence, while lower limb muscle strength, pulmonary function parameters, fatigue index, and cough efficiency were improved as compared to test values obtained before treatment.
    Conclusion: Compared with the 6-month recovery time reported in the literature for patients with hip fractures to achieve independence with basic ADLs, the recovery time of this patient was shortened to 2 months with the application of comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation. It is feasible to carry out pulmonary rehabilitation for elderly patients after fracture surgery, but prospective clinical trials are needed to verify its efficacy.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the effects of predictive nursing in the operating room on the stress response and risk events of elderly patients with lower limb fractures.
    Methods: The medical records of 114 elderly patients with lower limb fractures who underwent surgical reduction from August 2020 to May 2022 in Baiyin First People's Hospital were collected for this retrospective analysis. Among them, 54 patients who received routine nursing during the perioperative period were the control group, and 60 patients who received predictive nursing in operating room during the perioperative period were the observation group. The two groups were compared in terms of the changes of intraoperative stress response indexes and the occurrence of risk events, general data, postoperative complications, nursing satisfaction and changes in anxiety and depression. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the occurrence of risk events in patients.
    Results: After nursing, the observation group showed significantly lower levels of heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), noradrenaline (NE), and adrenaline (AD) than the control group (P<0.05). After nursing, the observation group got significantly lower self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores than the control group (P<0.05). A lower incidence of risk events was found in the observation group than in the control group (P=0.037). Additionally, the observation group experienced less intraoperative blood loss and shorter operation time than the control group (P<0.05). The observation group presented a lower incidence of complications after operation than the control group (P=0.009), and greatly higher nursing satisfaction than the control group (P=0.001). According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, age and nursing plan were independent risk factors affecting the risk events in patients (P<0.05).
    Conclusion: Predictive nursing in the operating room can substantially improve the intraoperative nursing quality of elderly patients with lower limb fractures, which can reduce intraoperative stress reaction, negative emotions, and surgical risk events and complications, and improve postoperative rehabilitation.

    Abstract Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising treatment for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), we conducted this systematic review to comprehensively assess its efficacy and safety.
    Methods: A comprehensive literature research was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, and studies reporting the safety and efficacy of PDT in NMIBC were included. Complete response (CR) rates, recurrence-free survival (RFS) at different time points, and complication incidences were extracted and synthesized. Pooled results were presented as rates with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI).
    Results: Overall, 28 single arm studies were included in the meta-analysis. For unresectable NMIBC, therapeutic PDT achieved CR in 68% (95% CI: 59%-77%) of patients. Among these CR cases, 71% (95% CI: 56%-85%) and 38% (95% CI: 12%-64%) have a RFS longer than 12 and 24 months, respectively. For Tis patients, the CR rate was 68% (95% CI: 56%-80%), and 84% (95% CI: 48%-100%) and 13% (95% CI: 1%-32%) have a RFS longer than 12 and 24 months. For patients with resectable tumors, post-resection adjuvant PDT could provide a 12 and 24 months RFS in 81% (95% CI:76%-87%) and 56% (95% CI:41%-71%) of them. Especially, for NMIBC patients who failed BCG therapy, adjuvant PDT could still achieve a 1-year and 2-year RFS in 68% (95% CI:51%-86%) and 56% (95% CI:32%-81%) patients. The complications were mostly mild and transient, including lower urinary tract symptoms and photosensitivity.
    Conclusion: Both therapeutic and adjuvant PDT present satisfying safety and efficacy for NMIBC, including these cases that are resistant to the standard of care. As a promising option for NMIBC, PDT deserves further exploration by future high-quality research.
