To achieve uniform cooling and effective homogenization control in ultra-large beam-blank molds necessitates the optimization of submerged-entry-nozzle (SEN) structures. This study employed computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling to investigate the impact of two-port and three-port SEN configurations on fluid flow characteristics, free-surface velocities, temperature fields, and solidification behaviors. Subsequently, integrating numerical simulations with the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) and metallurgical quality-control expertise facilitated the multi-objective optimization of a three-port SEN structure suitable for beam-blank molds. The optimized parameters enabled the three-port SEN to deliver molten steel to the meniscus at an appropriate velocity while mitigating harmful effects such as SEN port backflow, excessive surface temperature differences, and shell thickness reduction due to fluid flow. The results indicated that the three-port SEN enhanced the molten-steel flow pattern and mitigated localized shell thinning compared with the two-port SEN. Additionally, the optimized design (op2) of the three-port SEN exhibited reduced boundary layer separation and superior fluid dynamics performance over the initial three-port SEN configuration.

Reduced-port laparoscopic surgery (RPLS) has been widely used for the radical resection of gastrointestinal tumors. Single-surgeon, three-port, laparoscopic radical resection for sigmoid colon or high rectal cancer with natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) has the advantage of a small incision, quick postoperative recovery, and short hospital stay. Yet, there are still only a few reports on NOSES.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of Zhu's trocar placement (ZTP) in laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) in the treatment of complicated appendicitis.
Methods: Clinical data of 139 complicated appendicitis patients undergoing LA at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from June 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. ZTP-LA group comprised 59 cases and its procedure was as follows: 10 mm umbilical trocar was used as lens port; 12 mm trocar at crossing point of umbilical hole horizontal line and right midclavicular line was used as main operating port; 5 mm trocar at the crossing point of horizontal line 0-3 cm below umbilicus and right anterior axillary line was used as assist operating port with the drainage function for Douglas fossa and right iliac fossa; The operator and the assistant stood on the right side and the left side of the patient respectively.

Purpose: We previously designed a novel foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) to treat severe retinal detachment and evaluated its performance in a 1-year follow up study. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of a silicone oil (SO)-filled FCVB in a 3-year follow-up.
Methods: Standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy was performed, and the FCVB was triple folded and implanted in the vitreous cavity of three eyes.
