Objective To study the feasibility and safety of laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. Methods From June, 2006 to July 2009, 11 patients with gastric cancer received laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy for gastric cancer. According to UICC TNM classification of gastric cancer, 6 cases were with Stage Ⅱ, 2 cases with Stage Ⅲ A, 1 case with Stage Ⅲ B, and 2 cases with Stage Ⅳ. Under the assistance of laparoscope, dissociation of the stomach and lymph nodes clearance were performed first; then gastrectomy was performed on a 6 cm incision, samples were collected, and alimentary tract was inoculated. Results Among the 11 cases, 2 cases were performed radical total gastrectomy, 1 case was performed proximal partial gastrectomy, 7 cases were performed distal partial gastrectomy and 1 case with open surgery. The mean operation time: 350 min for total gastrectomy, 320 min for proximal partial gastrectom,266 min for distal partial gastrectomy. The mean number of harvested lymph nodes was 21.3 (11-38), incisal edge was 5.6 (4.0-9.6) cm. The mean time was 72 (36-110) hrs for gastrointestinal function recovery, 59 (26-86) hrs for patients to take general activity, and 76 (48-116) hrs to take liquid food. No complication was observed. Conclusion Laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer is safe and feasible. Compared with open surgery, it also has the advantages of small wound and fast recovery.

Objectives To understand the social support levels among breast cancer patients in Yunnan, as well as to explore the factors associated with social support. Methods According to the unified inclusion and exclusion criteria,121 breast cancer in-patients with chemotherapy were interviewed with structured questionnaire. Social demographic characteristics, Xiao's Social Support Rating Scale,General Self-Efficacy Scale,clinical and experimental data were collected. SPSS version19.0 was used to analyze the frequency and the correlation between social support and influential variables were analyzed by using the chi-square test and non-parametric test. Results The levels of social support in total, objective social support, subjective social support and utilization degree for breast cancer patients were (49.43 ±5.69), (13.35 ±2.51), (27.59 ±3.78), (8.50 ±1.98) respectively. Marriage status and self-efficacy were associated with social support level significantly. The influencing factors such as age, education level, marital status, occupation, income, place of residence, religion, medical expenses payment type, self-efficacy were included in the univariate analysis. However, only marital status and self efficacy were positively correlated with social support (p<0.05) . Conclusions The breast cancer patients in Yunnan have a higher social support level overall. Having-marriage status and higher self-efficacy have a positive influence on breast cancer in patients' social support level.

Objective:To investigate the application value of self-pulling and latter transection (SPLT) technique in double anti-reflux double-tract reconstruction of totally laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopatholo-gical data of 103 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction in clinical stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ who were admitted to Shanxi Cancer Hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were collected. There were 65 males and 38 females, aged from 45 to 79 years, with a median age of 59 years. Of 103 patients, 49 cases undergoing totally laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction of SPLT were assigned into the SPLT group, 54 cases undergoing totally laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with conventional double-tract reconstruction were assigned into the traditional group. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination and telephone inter-view to detect postoperative reflux esophagitis of patients up to December 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and the t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range) or M( Q1, Q3), and the Wilcoxon test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was performed using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the non-parameter rank sum test. Results:(1) Intraoperative situations: the operation time, digestive tract reconstruction time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, the number of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes dissected, cases with auxiliary incisions for the SPLT group were (261±48)minutes, (26±4)minutes, (114±42)mL, 8.0(6.5,9.5), 1, respectively. The above indicators were (244±42)minutes, (30±6)minutes, (118±46)mL, 5.5(4.0,8.0), 9 for the traditional group, respectively. There were significant differences in the digestive tract reconstruction time, the number of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes dissected and cases with auxiliary incisions between the two groups ( t=-3.34, Z=-4.05, χ2=4.72, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time or volume of intraoperative blood loss between the two groups ( t=1.87, -0.47, P>0.05). (2) Postoperative situations: duration of postopera-tive hospital stay and cases with postoperative complications were (11.5±2.7)days and 4 for the SPLT group, versus (12.5±4.3)days and 9 for the traditional group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( t=-1.47, χ2=1.68, P>0.05). There were 13 of 103 patients with postopera-tive complications, including 5 cases of left pleural effusion, 4 cases of anastomotic leakage, 2 cases of mild pneumonia, 1 case of incision infection, 1 case of chylous leakage. Four patients had anasto-motic leakage at the esophagojejunostomy, the abdominal esophagus of whom was invaded by more than 1 cm. During the operation, mediastinal drainage tubes were placed through the abdominal wall. The 4 patients were cured after enteral and parenteral nutrition support and adequate drainage, and the remaining patients with complications were cured after symptomatic treatment. (3) Follow-up: of 49 patients in the SPLT group, 43 cases were followed up for (18±4)months. During the follow-up, 1 case showed reflux esophagitis by gastroscopy, with the incidence of 2.33%(1/43). Of 54 patients in the traditional group, 53 cases were followed up for (17±4)months. During the follow-up, 4 cases showed reflux esophagitis by gastroscopy, with the incidence of 7.55%(4/53). There was no significant difference in the incidence of reflux esophagitis between the two groups ( χ2=0.47, P>0.05). Conclusions:SPLT technology is feasible for double anti-reflux double-tract reconstruction of proximal gastrectomy. Compared with traditional double-tract reconstruction of totally laparos-copic proximal gastrectomy, SPLT technology can reduce the auxiliary incisions, increase the number of lower mediastinal lymph nodes dissected, and shorten the digestive tract reconstruction time.

OBJECTIVES:
Shelter hospital was an alternative way to provide large-scale medical isolation and treatment for people with mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to various reasons, patients admitted to the large shelter hospital was reported high level of psychological distress, so did the healthcare workers. This study aims to introduce a comprehensive and multifaceted psychosocial crisis intervention model.
METHODS:
The psychosocial crisis intervention model was provided to 200 patients and 240 healthcare workers in Wuhan Wuchang shelter hospital. Patient volunteers and organized peer support, client-centered culturally sensitive supportive care, timely delivery of scientific information about COVID-19 and its complications, mental health knowledge acquisition of non-psychiatric healthcare workers, group activities, counseling and education, virtualization of psychological intervention, consultation and liaison were exhibited respectively in the model. Pre-service survey was done in 38 patients and 49 healthcare workers using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire 2-item (PHQ-2) scale, and the Primary Care PTSD screen for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (PC-PTSD-5). Forty-eight healthcare workers gave feedback after the intervention.
RESULTS:
The psychosocial crisis intervention model was successfully implemented by 10 mental health professionals and was well-accepted by both patients and healthcare workers in the shelter hospital. In pre-service survey, 15.8% of 38 patients were with anxiety, 55.3% were with stress, and 15.8% were with depression; 16.3% of 49 healthcare workers were with anxiety, 26.5% were with stress, and 22.4% were with depression. In post-service survey, 62.5% of 48 healthcare workers thought it was very practical, 37.5% thought more practical; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to relief anxiety and insomnia, and 27.1% thought much helpful; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to recognize patients with anxiety and insomnia, and 29.2% thought much helpful; 35.4% of them thought it was very helpful to deal with patients' anxiety and insomnia, and 37.5% thought much helpful.
CONCLUSIONS
Psychological crisis intervention is feasible, acceptable, and associated with positive outcomes. Future tastings of this model in larger population and different settings are warranted.
