Objective To summarize the clinical experience in Da Vinci surgical system-assisted hepatopancreatobiliary surgery.Methods From January to December in 2009,94 patients with hepatopancreatobiliary diseases were treated at General Hospital of Second Artillery of PLA.The surgical procedure and postoperative recovery of patients were analysed.Results A total of 90 patients had successfully undergone robotic surgery,and 4 patients were converted to open surgery with the conversion rate of 4%(4/94).Sixteen patients received surgeries for hepatic diseases,and 1 patient with a giant hemangioma in the right posterior hepatic lobe was converted to open surgery,because a very close relationship between the hemangioma and inferior vena cava was observed;27 patients received surgeries for hilar diseases;19 patients underwent surgeries for pancreatic diseases,and 3 patients were converted to open surgery,including 2 with poor exposure of the giant pancreatic head carcinoma and 1 with tumors in the distal common bile duct:32 patients received other surgeries,including 6 with choledochojejunostomy and 11 with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.Conclusions Almost all kinds of operations for hepatopanereatobiliary diseases could be performed by Da Vinci surgical system.Da Vinci surgical system expands the indications for laparoscopic surgery.

Perineural invasion(PNI) is one of the important routes for metastasis of gastric carcinoma and results in local recurrence and cancer pain after radical gastrectomy. The dismal prognosis of gastric cancer has been intimately associated with lymph node metastasis, hematogenous metastasis that partly caused by PNI. Nerve, vascular and lymphatic constitutes the tumor microenvironment which plays a decisive role in the development of cancer. Molecular interaction and morphological change contribute to reciprocal signaling interactions between tumor cell and nerve. However, the underlying mechanism of PNI in gastric cancer is still unclear and needs further study. Here, we present a brief review of literatures on the topic of PNI in gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVETo investigate changes in the expression of sarcoplamic reticular Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) and IP(3)-I receptors (IP(3)R(1)) mRNA in patients with atrial fibrillation.

METHODSThirty-eight patients with mitral stenosis undergoing open heart surgery were studied. 100 mg of atrial tissue was obtained during surgery from the right appendage and the right atrium. The amount of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) amount of SERCA and IP(3)R(1) was measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and normalized to the mRNA levels of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH).

RESULTSLevels of mRNA expression of SERCA in patients with AF, as compared with subjects in sinus rhythm, was lower and that of IP(3)R(1) was higher. The longer AF was sustained, the higher the levels of mRNA. There was no significant difference between right atrial free wall and right appendage.

CONCLUSIONSThe expression changes of SERCA and IP3R mRNA may correlate with the initiation or maintenance of AF.

Objective To observe the immune effect of PD-1 (programmed death-1) antibody in the treatment of patients with advanced cancer .Methods From October 2015 to March 2016 ,18 patients with advanced tumor were selected to receive the PD-1 antibody treatment in Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgical Hospital .Clinical efficacy ,adverse reactions and progression free survival time were monitored .The quality of life were compared before and after the treatment .Results Among 18 cases , PR 5 cases ,SD 7 cases and PD 6 cases .The KPS scores for quality of life was significantly increased (P<0 .05) after treat-ment .At the end of follow-up ,5 patients died ,2 patients were lost in follow-up ,11 patients survived .The median progression free survival was 2 .6 months (95% CI:1 .8-3 .3 months) .No serious adverse reactions and abnormal laboratory results were reported .Conclusion PD-1 antibody is a safe and effective treatment for advanced tumors .It is well tolerated and has less ad-verse reactions .The randomized control studies with larger samples are needed to further confirm our conclusions .

Objective To discuss the clinical application value of super selective renal artery embolization-assisted(SRAE-assisted)laparoscopic partial nephrectomy(LPN).Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of patients with stage T1 renal carcinoma,who received LPN,was conducted.The patients were divided into SRAE group(performing LPN without adopting renal hilum vascular clamping)and VC group(performing LPN with adopting renal hilum vascular clamping).The time spent for operation,amount of intraoperative blood loss,and preoperative and postoperative renal functions were compared between the two groups.According to the warm ischemia time(WIT),the patients of the VC group were subdivided into WIT＜25 min subgroup and WIT≥25 min subgroup,and the preoperative and postoperative renal functions were compared between the two subgroups.Results A total of 59 patients with renal carcinoma were enrolled in this study,including 12 patients in SRAE group and 47 patients in VC group.In VC group,WIT＜25 min subgroup had 33 patients and WIT≥25 min subgroup had 14 patients.In both SRAE group and VC group,no patient was referred to open surgery or total nephrectomy.No patient in SRAE group was referred to traditional LPN.The time spent for operation in SRAE group and VC group was 100.50(73.75,132.50)min and 120.00(90.00,145.00)min respectively,the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)in SRAE group was 100.56(82.85,106.81),which was remarkably higher than 84.66(70.84,94.85)in VC group(P＜0.05).The postoperative serum creatinine level in VC group was 90.50(77.10,104.90)μmol/L,which was strikingly higher than 72.24(65.97,80.27)μmol/L in SRAE group(P＜0.05).The amount of intraoperative blood loss in SRAE group was 50(50,50)mL,which was lower than 50(50,100)mL in VC group(P＜0.05).In VC group,the postoperative eGFR in WIT≥25 min subgroup was 66.13(47.08,82.50),which was lower than 90.80(77.18,98.78)in WIT＜25 min subgroup(P＜0.05).During the postoperative one-year follow-up,no recurrence was observed in both groups.Conclusion Compared with traditional LPN,SRAE-assisted LPN doesn't need to obstruct the renal hilus during surgery,which can avoid the ischemic impairment of the residual renal function and reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss,moreover,it doesn't increase the operation time,doesn't increase the incidence of complications such as postoperative bleeding,etc.and doesn't affect the curative efficacy and patient's prognosis.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological evidence on the relationship between ultra-processed foods intake and metabolic syndrome. Methods CNKI, Wanfang database, PubMed and Web of Science Core Collection database were searched to obtain literature, as of June 10, 2020, about ultra-processed foods intake and metabolic syndrome. The relevant literature was reviewed and analyzed. Results A total of 4 epidemiological studies about the relationship between ultra-processed foods intake and metabolic syndrome were found, of which three studies suggested a positive correlation, and one study suggested no correlation. Conclusion There may be a positive correlation between ultra-processed foods intake and metabolic syndrome, but the research results available are still controversial. Further research is needed to explore the relationship between ultra-processed foods intake and metabolic syndrome.

In 2016, a national one million general population cohort project was set up in China for the first time in "Precision Medicine Research" Key Project, National Key Research and Development Program of China, which consists of general population cohorts in seven areas in China. As one of the seven major areas in China, northeastern China has unique climate and specific dietary patterns, and population aging is serious in this area. And the burden of chronic and non-communicable diseases ranks tops in China. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a large general population cohort in northeastern China to explore the area specific exposure factors related to pathogenesis and prognosis of chronic and non-communicable diseases, develop new prevention strategies to reduce the burden of the diseases and improve the population health in northeastern China. In July 2018, the general population cohort study in northeastern China was launched, the study includes questionnaire survey, health examination and blood, urine and stool sample collection and detection in recruited participants. By now, the cohort has covered all age groups, and the baseline data of 115 414 persons have been collected. This paper summarizes the design and practice of the general population cohort study in northeastern China to provide reference for related research in China.

The incidence of cervical cancer remains high globally, especially in developing countries, which poses a serious threat to women's life and health. How to reduce the risk of cervical cancer has become the focus of the efforts of researchers in this field. Dietary patterns are analyzed based on the overall dietary status, and at the same time the interaction between nutrients and food is taken into consideration. Accumulating evidence suggests that dietary patterns play an important role in the prevention of cervical cancer. This review summarizes the relationship between different dietary patterns and the incidence of cervical cancer, and aims to provide a basis for more in-depth research in the future.
