Objective:To evaluate the impact of laparotomy pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD), laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) and Da Vinci robot assisted pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) on the risk of pancreatic fistula in postoperative patients.Methods:The key words were laparoscopic, pancreaticoduodenectomy, robot, DaVinci, Whipple, complication, fistula, pancreaticoduodenectomy, laparoscopy, robot, postoperative complications and pancreatic fistula, and the databases of CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE and web of science were searched until August 1, 2020 for retrospective cohort studies and randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy of OPD, LPD and RPD. The articles were screened according to the pre-set inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the quality of the articles was evaluated and the data were extracted. Based on Bayesian framework, R4.0.2, Revman 5.3 and Stata 16.0 software were used to analyze the extracted data for mesh meta analysis.Results:Thirty articles involving 3 428 patients were included, including 26 retrospective cohort studies and 4 randomized controlled studies. Mesh meta-analysis showed that in the incidence of pancreatic fistula, there was no significant difference between LPD and OPD, between LPD and RPD ( OR=0.93, 95% CI 0.63-1.4; OR=1.4, 95% CI 0.87-2.2, P<0.05), but the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula was significantly lower than that of OPD ( OR=1.5, 95% CI 1.1-2.1, P<0.05), 95% CI 1.12.1; P>0.05). The risk probability of pancreatic fistula was ranked as RPD (0.00), LPD(0.34) and OPD(0.65), that is, for the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula, the advantages and disadvantages of the three surgical methods were ranked as RPD, LPD and OPD. Conclusions:Compared with OPD, RPD can significantly reduce the risk of pancreatic fistula after PD and improve the quality of operation; there was no significant difference between LPD and RPD in the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula, and both of them were safe and feasible.

Objective To evaluate the value and the expression of Axl receptor tyrosine kinase (AxlTK) in renal pathology of lupus nephritis (LN) patients. Methods The expression of AxlTK were detected in 29 LN and 10 primary nephritic syndrome (NS) patients using immunohistochemistry in renal tissue. The correlations between the levels of AxlTK on glomeruli and clinical manifestations, laboratory parameters, disease activity, and renal pathology in LN patients were investigated. T test and single factor analysis of variance were used tp compare between groups, and Pearson or Spearman test was used for correlation analysis. Results AxlTK was extensively expressed on surface of mesangial cells, endothelial cells in glomeruli. There was more expression of AxlTK on mesangial cells in LN patients [(7.0 ±2.2)×10-2] than that in primary NS patients [(3.1 ±1.2) ×10-2] (t=5.382, P<0.01). The expression of AxlTK in the glomeruli of LN patients with oral ulcers is higher than that in patients without of ulcers (t=2.259, P=0.032), and it was positively correlated with the anti-nucleosome antibody (AnuA) level in patients (r=0.488, P=0.017). The expression of AxlTK on glomeruli were higher in class Ⅳ and classⅢ of LN patients than that of class Ⅴ, but there was no statistically significant difference between them (P>0.05). Conclusion The expression of Axl TK in glomerular is significantly increased in glomeruli in LN patients. The expression level of AxlTK on glomeruli is correlated with the occurrence of oral ulcers and AnuA. The level of AxlTK expression is related to pathological categories of kidney in LN patients. The results of this study suggest that AxlTK might participate in the pathogenesis of LN.

Objective To study the clinical value of anti-ribosomal P0 protein antibodies (anti-P0). Methods Line immuno-assay and immunoblotting methods were used to detect anti-P0 and rRNP antibodies of 49 SEE patients and 61 patients with other rheumatic diseases.The expressions of anti-P0 were compared with those of rRNP antibodies.Possible relations between anti-P0 and clinical features and other antibodies in SLE were explored.Results 36.7%and 6.1% of SEE patients showed positive anti-P0 and rRNP antibodies respectively.Anti-P0 was always negative in patients with other rheumatic diseases (P＜0.01).Among SLE pa tients,incidence of skin rash was 77.8%(35.5%) ff anti-P0 was found to be positive (negative) (P＜0.05). Besides,for patients with positive and negative anti-P0,the chance of positive anti-SmD1 was 61.1% and 19.4% respectively (P＜0.01).Sensitiviy of anti-P0 for SLE diagnosis was 36.73% with specificity and positive predictive value as high as 100%,and 66.30% as the negative predictive value.Conclusion Sera anti-P0 is highly specific for SLE and it is associated with the occurence of rash and the expression of anti-StuD 1 anti bodies in SEE.

Objective To probe the clinical value of three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in evaluating the early ventricular myocardial dysfunction in breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline.Methods A group of 40 breast cancer postoperative patients were received a epirubicin-based chemotherapy.Conventional and 3D dynamic echocardiography were measured before chemotherapy and 2 cycles and 4 cycles after chemotherapy during 24 hours,and to compare the change of the parameters before and after the chemotherapy.Results Left ventricular global area strain(LVGAS),left ventricular global longitudinal strain(LVGLS),right ventricular global longitudinal strain(RVGLS),right ventricular global circular strain(RVGCS) and right ventricular global radial strain(RVGRS) were significantly lower after the chemotherapy than those before the chemotherapy,and negatively correlated to cumulative anthracycline dose,in which the area under the ROC curve of LVGAS was 0.897(P = 0.000).If-30.55% was selected as the diagnosis cut-off point,the sensitivity was 0.857,and the specificity was 0.917;some of right ventricular strain parameters were earlier than those of the left.Conclusions 3D-STI is useful to find the early left and right ventricular myocardial dysfunction in breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline and early access the subclinical cardiactoxicity,and right ventricular dysfunction may emerge earlier than the left,which can provide diagnosis basis to intervene timely for the clinical.

Human leukocyte antigen G ( HLA-G) is a member of the non-classical HLA classⅠb family. It is considered to play a crucial role in immune tolerance. A unique feature of HLA-G is the struc-tural diversity as surface expressed and as secreted molecules, which is mainly attributed to alternative spli-cing of the primary transcript. HLA-G can promote the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells through various ways. In addition, HLA-G has been described included in exosomes. Exosomes released by most cell types are nano-sized vesicular bodies that contain lipid bilayer and rich contents. As a new marker for diseases, exosomes are extensively involved in the occurrence and development of diseases. Recent studies have found that exosomes can express soluble HLA-G, which reveal a new way by which HLA-G regulates tumor micro-environment. In this review, we focus on the expression of HLA-G on exosomes to provide new thoughts for the early detection and treatment of tumors.
