Background: This retrospective study aimed to present our surgical experience in patients with benign tumour or trauma in spleen who underwent laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS) and to compare the results with those of patients who underwent an open partial splenectomy (OPS).

Methods: We analysed the medical data of patients who underwent LPS or OPS between January 2010 and January 2020.

Results: In total, 41 patients were enrolled. Nine patients underwent open surgery, 32 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery. The proportion of patients with tumours in the upper pole in LPS group was more than patients in OPS group. No difference was observed in estimated blood loss, allogeneic transfusion, postoperative stay, pathology and complications between LPS and OPS groups. The operation time in the LPS group (137.5 ± 30.8 min) was longer than that in the OPS group (88.3 ± 30.1 min) for patients with splenic traumatic rupture (P = 0.019).

Conclusions: LPS is an effective and safe spleen-preserving surgery as OPS. The advantages are small trauma, light pain and quick recovery. It is suitable for patients with benign tumours or trauma confined to one side of the spleen.

Purpose: To compare a novel high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) with improved axial resolution (High-Res OCT) with conventional spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) with regard to their capacity to characterize the disorganization of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) in diabetic maculopathy.

Methods: Diabetic patients underwent multimodal retinal imaging (SD-OCT, High-Res OCT, and color fundus photography). Best-corrected visual acuity and diabetes characteristics were recorded.

Time-varying intensity of ventilatory inefficiency and mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Ann Intensive Care

January 2025

Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Critical Care Medicine, Zhongda Hospital, School of Medicine, Southeast University, No. 87, Dingjiaqiao Road, Gulou District, Nanjing, 210009, People's Republic of China.

Background: The association between bedside ventilatory parameters-specifically arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO) and ventilatory ratio (VR)-and mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a topic of debate. Additionally, the persistence of this association over time is unclear. This study aims to investigate the relationship between 28-day mortality in ARDS patients and their longitudinal exposure to ventilatory inefficiency, as reflected by serial measurements of PaCO and VR.

Atrophic acne scars present a significant therapeutic challenge. While subcision with various adjunctive treatments, including fractional CO₂ lasers and polydioxanone (PDO) threads, has been employed for scar remodeling, comparative evidence on their efficacy remains limited. This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy and patient satisfaction between subcision with fractional CO₂ laser and subcision with PDO screw threads in managing atrophic acne scars.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the association between the Fc-gamma receptor IIIA (FCGR3A) 158 polymorphism and clinical outcomes in kidney transplantation (KTx) patients. Specifically, we focused on late-onset neutropenia (LON) in ABO-incompatible (ABOi) or HLA-incompatible (HLAi) KTx recipients who underwent rituximab (RTx) desensitization therapy.

Methods: FCGR3A 158F/V polymorphisms were identified in 85 ABOi or HLAi KTx recipients who underwent RTx desensitization at our institution between April 2008 and October 2021.
