Abstract Background To investigate the effects of modified subxiphoid thoracoscopic surgery and traditional surgery on pain mediators and pain stress levels in patients with anterior mediastinal teratoma. Method Eighty patients with anterior mediastinal teratoma who underwent surgery in our hospital from May 2019 to May 2021 were selected as the subjects of this prospective study. According to the random residue grouping method, they were divided into a control group and observation group with 40 cases each. Among them, the control group underwent traditional surgery, and the observation group underwent modified subxiphoid thoracoscopic surgery. Observe and compare the surgical indicators, pain-causing mediators, and pain stress levels of the two groups of patients. Result The intraoperative blood loss, postoperative extubation time, and total drainage volume of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group, while the operation time was significantly higher than that of the control group, which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the pain-causing mediators of the two groups before surgery (P > 0.05), while the NPY, PGE2 and 5-HT at 1 day after surgery were significantly different, and the observation group was better than the control group. The comparison was statistically significant. Significance (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in pain stress levels between the two groups before surgery (P > 0.05), while NO, IL-6, and IL-β 1 day after surgery were significantly different, and the observation group was better than the control group. Statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The modified subxiphoid thoracoscopic surgery has a significant effect, reduces the level of peripheral blood pain-causing factors, relieves the pain of the patient, and promotes the recovery of the patient. It provides a certain reference for the mediastinal teratoma before the clinical operation.

<strong>Background:</strong> Patients with recurrent pericardial effusion and pericardial tamponade are usually treated in thoracic surgery clinics by VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) or open pericardial window operation. The diagnostic importance of pathological evaluation of the pericardial fluid and tissue in the same patients has been reported in few studies. We reviewed pathological examination of the pericardial tissue and fluid specimens and the effect on the clinical treatment in our clinic, and compared the results with the literature. <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> We retrospectively analyzed 174 patients who underwent pericardial window operation due to pericardial tamponade or recurrent pericardial effusion. For all patients both the results of the pericardial fluid and pericardial biopsy specimen were evaluated. Clinicopathological factors were analyzed by using descriptive analysis. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> Median age was 61 (range, 20-94 years). The most common benign diagnosis was chronic inflammation (94 patients) by pericardial biopsy. History of malignancy was present in 28 patients (16.1%) and the most common disease was lung cancer (14 patients). A total of 24 patients (13.8%) could be diagnosed as having malignancy by pericardial fluid or pericardial biopsy examination. The malignancy was recognized for 12 patients who had a history of cancer; 9 of 12 with pericardial biopsy, 7 diagnosed by pericardial fluid. Twelve of 156 patients were recognized as having underlying malignancy by pericardial biopsy (n = 9) or fluid examination (n = 10), without known malignancy previously. <br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Recurrent pericardial effusion/pericardial tamponade are entities frequently diagnosed, and surgical interventions may be needed either for diagnosis and/or treatment, but specific etiology can rarely be obtained in spite of pathological examination of either pericardial tissue or fluid. For increasing the probability of a specific diagnosis both the pericardial fluid and the pericardial tissues have to be sent for pathologic examination.

Absztrakt Célkitűzés: A myasthenia gravis (MG) kezelésében számos nyitott, illetve minimálisan invazív thymectomia ismert. A tanulmány ugyanazon intézeten belül a transsternalis (TS), illetve kétféle minimálisan invazív thymectomia (video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy – VATET; unilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery – UL-VATS) eredményeit hasonlítja össze. Anyag és módszerek: Három különböző időintervallumban 71 betegnél történt thymectomia MG miatt (60 nő, 11 férfi): 23 transsternalis thymectomia (1995. január–2004. szeptember), 22 VATET (2004. szeptember – 2009. augusztus) és 26 UL-VATS thymectomia (2009. szeptember – 2011. december). Az eredmények értékelésénél a műtéti idő, MG-hez társuló neurológiai és a műtét utáni sebészi szövődmények, valamint az MG státuszában az egyéves utánkövetéskor észlelt neurológiai változások szerepeltek. Eredmények: Perioperatív mortalitás nem fordult elő. A műtéti idő 112, 211, 116 perc (p = 0,001), a kórházi napok száma: 8,9, 5,6 és 4 nap (p = 0,001) volt a TS-, VATET- és UL-VATS-csoportban. Az MG-hez kapcsolódó postoperativ neurológiai szövődmények 21,7%, 18,2% és 7,7% (p = 0,365) értékeket mutattak. A sebészi szövődmény 4,3%, 13,7%, 0% (p = 0,118) volt. Az MG tüneteinek javulása 91,3%, 94,7%, 87,5% (p = 0,712), míg komplett remisszió 13%, 10,5%, 11,5% (p = 0,917) volt a TS-, VATET- és UL-VATS-csoportokban. Következtetések: A műtéti idő, valamint a kórházban eltöltött napok száma UL-VATS esetében volt a legrövidebb. A kisebb sebészi beavatkozáshoz alacsonyabb sebészi, illetve MG-s neurológiai szövődmények társultak. Az MG-tünetek javulásában mindhárom módszernél kiváló eredményt értek el.
