Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of the lateral fissure opened intraoperative cerebral con-tusion sylvian cistern , basal cistern for improving the cerebral vasospasm. Methods A total of 106 patients with cerebral contusion in lateral fissure area were randomly divided into 2 groups. The control group was given conventional craniotomy to clear focal cerebral contusion of hematoma. And the experimental group was further to fully open sylvian cistern, jugular vein pool, endplate pool and basal cistern on the basis of the conventional craniotomy to remove the brain contusion and hemato-ma. The levels of endothelin 1 (ET-1) in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were detected postoperative 3, 7 and 14 days. The Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score, ICU guardianship time and total length of hospital stay were observed on discharge and followed up for 3 months in two groups. The rate of good prognosis was compared between two groups. Results There were significant differences in ET-1 levels of plasma and CSF at different time points (plasma Ftime = 603.436 and CSF Ftime =684.276 ) between two groups of patients (plasma Fgroup=272.531 and CSF Fgroup=317.641). The ET-1 levels were signifi-cantly lower after 7 d and 14 d treatment in experimental group, but no significant difference 3d after operation between two groups (P<0.01). The GCS score was significantly higher on discharge in experimental group than that of control group. The values of ICU guardianship time and the total hospitalization time were both significantly lower in experimental group than those of control group (P<0.01). The rate of good prognosis was significantly higher in experimental group than that of con-trol one [78.85%(41/52) vs 51.85%(28/54),χ2=8.496, P<0.01]. Conclusion Openning side crack pool and basal cistern in the surgical treatment of traumatic brain injury can improve the cerebral vasospasm and prognosis.

Objective To investigate the expression of endostatin and angiopoietin (Ang)-2 in human ghoma and its significance. Methods The expression of endostatin and Ang-2 were measured by immunohistochemistry and endostatin mBNA by hybridization in situ in 108 cases of brain glioma and 5 cases of normal brain tissues. Results The expression of endostatin (0.0657±0.0038)and Ang-2 (0.0286± 0.0042) were significantly higher in grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ glioma patients than those in grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ ghoma patients (0.0349±0.0048,0.0084±0.0018, respectively) and normal brain tissues (0,0)(P<0.01). The expression of endostatin mRNA were significantly higher in grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ glioma patients (0.0310±0.0041) than that in grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ glioma patients (0.0152±0.0031) and normal brain tissues (0)(P< 0.01 ). Theratio of endo-stalin to Ang-2 was negatively rehted to the grade of glioma (r=-0.810,P <0.01). Conclusion The interaction of endostatin and Ang-2 plays an important role in the invasive growth and malignant development of human glioma, and may be related to the prognosis and the malignant degree of glioma.

Objective:To explore the application effect of pathway nursing combined with multimodal exercise intervention in patients with tumor-associated sarcopenia under multi-disciplinary team.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 120 patients with tumor-associated sarcopenia who visited Cancer Center of Henan Provincial People 's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into the observation group ( n=60) and the control group ( n=60) according to the random number table method. The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group received multi-disciplinary team pathway nursing combined with multimodal exercise. Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (SMI) , Hand Grip Strength (HGS) , daily walking speed, Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) and Irritability, Depression and Anxiety Scale (IDA) scores were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Results:After 4 weeks of intervention, HGS and daily walking speed in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After 4 weeks of intervention, the total score of CFS in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the scores of physical fatigue, emotional fatigue and cognitive fatigue in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After 4 weeks of intervention, the total IDA score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the scores of anxiety, depression, extroversion and introversion stimulation were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Multi-disciplinary team pathway care combined with multimodal exercise can improve the physical fitness of patients with tumor-associated sarcopenia, increase the level of physical activity, relieve fatigue and reduce negative emotions such as anxiety, depression and irritation.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of monkeypox patients.Methods:The clinical data and laboratory findings of 4 patients with monkeypox patients diagnosed at Yiwu Central Hospital in July 2023 were analyzed. Herpes fluid and skin tissue samples were collected, the viruses were isolation and cultured in African green monkey kidney cells (Vero) and identified with whole gene sequencing.Results:All four patients were male, aged 24-35 years. All patients had male-to-male behavior within 21 days before onset of the disease. Among them, one patient has AIDS and one patient has syphilis. Four patients presented with perineal skin lesions with itching, and 3 patients were found to have enlarged lymph nodes upon admission. Laboratory testing: lymphocyte abnormality (4.57×10 9/L) in 1 case; increased procalcitonin (0.25 ng/mL) in 1 case; elevated IL-10 levels ( 7.11 ng/L and 9.42 ng/L) in 2 cases; increased IL-6 (66 ng/L) and IL-4 (3.24 ng/L) in 1 case, respectively. One case had abnormal myocardial zymogram with a elevated lactate dehydrogenase level of 313 U/L. The monkeypox virus was isolated from lesion tissue and herpes fluid, and the whole gene sequencing identified it as the B. 1.3 subtype of the IIb evolutionary branch, exhibiting typical pathological effects on Vero cells. Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of the 4 monkeypox patients confirmed in Zhejiang province are mild, patients had a definitive history of male-to-male sexual behavior and the virus strains belong to the B. 1.3 lineage of the IIb evolutionary branch.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of Naples prognostic score (NPS) in assessing the overall survival of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients after receiving hepatectomy treatment.Methods:Clinicopathological characteristics and follow-up data of 164 ICC patients who underwent curative hepatectomy at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from Jan 2010 to Aug 2022 were retrospectively collected. NPS was calculated basing on preoperative serum albumin concentration, total cholesterol concentration, the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio. The relationship between NPS and overall survival was analyzed, and the efficacy of NPS in predicting long-term survival was compared to TNM staging system and other independent risk factors.Results:Multivariate analysis identified the NPS [Score 1 versus 0: 1.864 (1.011-3.437), P=0.046; Score 2 versus 0: 3.013 (1.465-6.199), P=0.003] as an independent risk factor for overall survival. The area under curve (AUC) of the rece中iver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for predicting 5-year OS based on NPS is 0.75, which is higher than TNM staging (0.59) and other independent risk factors (CA19-9:0.71, lymph node metastasis: 0.66, tumor size: 0.62, microvascular invasion: 0.56). Conclusion:NPS as an independent predictor of overall survival for ICC patients, is more accurate than TNM staging system and other clinicopathological factors.

Objective:To formulate surgical strategies and guide the implementation of laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy with preoperative simulative resection.Methods:Twenty-two cases of hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing laparoscopic lobe, segment, subsegment and combined segment liver resection following preoperative simulative resection from Sep 2020 to Jan 2022 were enrolled in this study retrospectively.We observed and analyzed the operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complication.Results:All patients underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy successfully according to the preoperative simulative resection plan without conversion, some of them adjusted plan according to preoperative simulative resection. The median operation time was 170.0 min, the median intraoperative blood loss was 150.0 ml, the median times of pringle maneuver was done on 4 episodes, and the median postoperative hospital stay was 6.5 days. There were no severe postoperative complications in all cases.Conclusion:Preoperative simulative resection can plan the range of surgical resection accurately by visualizing important anatomical structures,greatly helping the actual surgical hepatectomy.

Objective:To explore how to optimize selection, acquisition, and matching for the use of an aged donor liver.Methods:A case of 81-year-old senior donor liver transplantation performed at our institution is reported, the donor was an 81-year-old female who was brain-dead and the recipient was a 21-year-old male who underwent liver transplantation because of chronic hepatitis B complicated with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and glutamate-pyruvate transaminase(ALT)were 1131 U/L and 846 U/L on the first postoperative day, and decreased gradually to normal until 2 weeks later.Total bilirubin(TBIL)56.4umol/L on the first day and decreased to 22.1umol/L on the third day after operation, however, it began to rise on postoperative day 5 to a maximum of 66.0 umol/L, which decreased to normal about 2 months after surgery. During the follow-up, AST, ALT, TBIL and other indexes were normal, and AFP decreased progressively.Conclusions:Using of elderly liver donors may achieve satisfactory results, asifthe elderly donors been evaluatedcarefullyandthe low-risk recipients been selected.

BACKGROUND:Exercise training can improve osteoporosis,but its effects and mechanisms on senile osteoporosis are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of treadmill exercise on osteoporosis and wnt/β-catenin signal pathway in aged rats. METHODS:Sixteen 24-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into osteoporosis group(n=8)and treadmill group(n=8)and eight 6-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were used as young control group.The model of senile osteoporosis was replicated by natural aging and the rats in the treadmill group were treated with treadmill exercise once a day,5 days a week,for 8 weeks.Levels of bone metabolic markers such as type I collagen cross-linked C-terminal peptide,tartrate resistant acid phosphatase,osteocalcin and bone specific alkaline phosphatase were detected by ELISA;bone mineral density of the left femur and L5 was measured by dual energy X-ray;bone scanning and bone microstructure quantitative analysis were performed by bone micro-CT;and the mRNA and protein expression levels of wnt3a,β-catenin,LRP5,DKK1 and GSK3β were detected by RT-PCR and western blot,respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the young control group,the osteoporosis group showed a reduction in serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin levels(P<0.05),bone mineral density of the femur and L5,the number of tibia and L4 bone trabeculae,bone volume,bone volume fraction(P<0.05),and mRNA and protein expression of wnt3a,β-catenin,and LRP5 in bone marrow tissue(P<0.05)as well as an increase in serum levels of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase and type I collagen cross-linked C-terminal peptide(P<0.05),the intertrabecular space between the tibia and L4,structural model index(P<0.05),and mRNA and protein expression of DKK1 and GSK3 β in bone marrow tissue(P<0.05).In addition to the reduced number of trabeculae in the tibia and L4 vertebrae,the trabeculae were structurally disturbed and sparsely aligned and fractured.Compared with the osteoporosis group,the treadmill group showed an increase in serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin levels(P<0.05),bone mineral density of the femur and L5(P<0.05),the number of tibial trabeculae,bone volume,bone volume fraction(P<0.05),mRNA and protein expression of wnt3a,β-catenin,and LRP5 in bone marrow tissue(P<0.05)but a reduction in the serum levels of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase and type I collagen cross-linked C-terminal peptide,L4 trabecular space,tibial trabecular space,structural model index,and mRNA and protein expression of DKK1 and GSK3 β in bone marrow tissue(P<0.05).In addition to the increased number of tibial and L4 trabeculae,the trabeculae were arranged in a regular and dense pattern and were connected to a network.To conclude,treadmill exercise may improve osteoporosis in aged rats by activating the wnt/β-catenin signal pathway.
