Recently, Lin Haodong, Director of the Trauma Clinical Medical Center at Shanghai First People's Hospital, and Wang Jiandong, Chief Physician, completed a closed reduction minimally invasive internal fixation surgery for a complex pelvic fracture and a femoral neck fracture with the assistance of a new "HoloSight intelligent visualization system" robot. This is also the first appearance of HoloSight robots in Shanghai. It is reported that the system combines mixed reality and high-precision optical positioning and tracking technology, which can fully monitor the process of pelvic fracture reduction, instantly build a visual three-dimensional model, and help surgeons accurately complete various minimally invasive orthopedic surgeries. At the same time, it can also shorten surgical time, reduce intraoperative bleeding and radiation damage, make trauma treatment more minimally invasive, precise, and intelligent, and achieve the modern medical concept of accelerated rehabilitation surgery.

Mr. Xu, who is 68 years old this year, was sent to Shanghai First People's Hospital for emergency treatment due to an accidental fall from a height. After examination, Mr. Xu suffered a serious pelvic fracture. Since there are many important blood vessels, nerves and visceral organs around the pelvis, and Mr. Xu's pelvic fracture type is the most serious type C vertical fracture, he also suffers from type II diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other basic diseases, so it is difficult to operate. After multidisciplinary consultations to stabilize vital signs and sufficient communication with the patient's family, the trauma clinical medical center team decided to implement minimally invasive "pelvic fracture closed reduction and hollow nail internal fixation surgery" for Mr. Xu with the assistance of a new "HoloSight intelligent visualization system" robot.

Traditional minimally invasive surgery for pelvic fractures requires the surgeon to perform the surgery within a limited field of vision, relying on memory and spatial conception of deep anatomical tissues, and in conjunction with intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy. Due to the complex anatomy of the hip and pelvis, surgery is prone to nerve and vascular damage, and both patients and doctors are exposed to significant radiation from the fluoroscopy machine.

The "HoloSight Intelligent Visualization System" robot, with the support of optical positioning technology, can achieve intelligent and accurate matching between bone models and spatial tracking data through intelligent feature recognition and automated registration algorithms, and complete real-time 3D modeling. Doctors can visually observe the bone condition on the screen and complete the entire process of fracture reduction, intelligent planning, and assisted nail placement based on this.

On the day of the surgery, the trauma center team placed a locator at the patient's pelvic iliac crest and installed R-shaped and L-shaped trackers. HoloSight robots perform high-precision tracking of patient bones in a closed environment, displaying real-time spatial position and posture. The fracture morphology of the patient is presented on the screen in the form of a 3D animated model, and the surgical team can observe in real-time from multiple views and any angle. The surgery only required a few small incisions of 1 centimeter to complete minimally invasive internal fixation, effectively fixing the fracture while avoiding risks such as major bleeding and vascular and nerve damage.

In addition, the trauma center team also accurately implanted the femoral neck dynamic cross nail system in a patient with a femoral neck fracture using HoloSight robot navigation. This minimally invasive surgery was completed with only a 3cm incision.

It is reported that the HoloSight trauma robot can provide accurate and visual treatment plans for various surgeries such as closed reduction of fractures, internal fixation of pelvic and acetabular fractures, and internal fixation of limb fractures. The trauma center team of a hospital in Shanghai will continue to practice the concept of accelerated rehabilitation surgery, continue to carry out minimally invasive surgery, embedded postoperative rehabilitation and other measures, and provide patients with efficient and high-quality diagnosis and treatment services.

Why is "Cancer King" immunotherapy ineffective? Fudan Cancer Hospital Reveals New Mechanisms of Immunosuppressive Environment for pancreatic cancer CRIP1 | Tumor | pancreatic cancer

Immunotherapy has been proven to achieve significant therapeutic effects in various solid tumors. However, for pancreatic cancer, known as the "king of cancer", immunotherapy has been ineffective. On August 4, Professor Yu Xianjun, Dean of the Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, and Shi Si, Associate Professor of Pancreatic Surgery released a research achievement, which first found the key role of cysteine rich protein 1 in shaping the immunosuppressive microenvironment of pancreatic cancer, filled the gap in the research field of immunosuppressive microenvironment of pancreatic cancer, and provided a theoretical basis for precise immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer patients. Ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is the main type of pancreatic cancer, accounting for about 90% of all pancreatic cancer. Due to its high malignancy and poor treatment effectiveness, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has always been one of the most malignant tumors. In recent years, the level of surgical techniques and comprehensive treatment has been achieved

A 14-year-old girl has been experiencing symptoms such as protruding pupils, incomplete eye closure, corneal injury, restricted eye movement, and overall fatigue for several years. The physical discomfort and facial abnormalities caused by eye diseases have made her increasingly reticent, and her temperament is vastly different from before. At the Ophthalmology Department of the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, the pupil has been diagnosed with a rare thyroid ophthalmopathy combined with myasthenia gravis, which requires prompt treatment. However, considering the young age of the pupil, conventional hormone and radiation therapy cannot be used. Therefore, Zhou Huifang, Deputy Director of Ophthalmology and thyroid ophthalmology expert, has developed a targeted drug combined with surgical treatment plan for it, and targeted drug treatment will be performed first. Three months ago, I was hospitalized for one week with mydriasis and received intravenous targeted drug treatment. Afterwards, I went home for observation and followed up on time

Recently, Catherine, a British girl born in the 1990s, received autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transfusion at the Cancer Center of Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital, and was successfully discharged from the warehouse. She is now on her way back to China after being discharged from the hospital. She is also the first patient at Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital to complete relevant treatments. In 2019, Catherine was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the UK, and after treatment, the disease completely improved. During her work and life in China in 2021, she went to seek medical attention due to multiple enlarged lymph nodes. Pathological biopsy confirmed a recurrence of Hodgkin's lymphoma, and through combined targeted drug treatment, her condition was temporarily under control. Last year in the second half of the year, when the disease recurred, the girl began to use immunotherapy combined with targeted drugs for treatment. Expert evaluation suggests that for young patients with hematological tumors, the risk of recurrence is high and treatment difficulty is increasing in the future. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell therapy is recommended
