Objective:To compare various data of open pyeloplasty,laparoscopic pyeloplasty and en-dopyelotomy as a treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction(UPJO),and to investigate and discuss the feasibility and effect of the three methods.Methods:In the study,109 cases of UPJO treated by dif-ferent surgical approaches in Peking University People’s Hospital from January 2004 to December 2014 were retrospectively investigated.The patients were divided into three groups according to the treatment they received:open peyloplasty group (32 cases),laparoscopic peyloplasty group (31 cases)and en-dopyelotomy group (46 cases).We compared the data of the operative time,intraoperative blood loss, perioperative complications and post-operative hospital stay among the three groups.The mean follow-up time was(51.9 ±40.1 )months (6 -132 months).Results:None of the laparoscopic peyloplties was converted to open peyloplasty.All endpyelotomies were successfully completed.The operative time was as follows:laparoscopic peyloplasty group (195.97 ±55.22)min,open peyloplasty group (121.19 ± 33.95)min and endopyelotomy group (74.04 ±33.95 )min,and there were significant differences among the three groups respectively(P <0.001 ).There was no significant difference on the operative blood loss between open peyloplasty group and laparoscopic peyloplasty group (P =0.163).The opera-tive blood loss of endopyelotomy group was 5(0,310)mL,which was lower than the other two groups,and this result had significant differences with the other two groups respectively(P <0.001).There were sig-nificant differences on the post-operative hospital stay (days)among open peyloplasty group,laparoscopic peyloplasty group and endopeylotomy group (P <0.05,respectively).The success rate was comparable between open peyloplasty group and laparoscopic peyloplasty group(93.8% vs.90.3%,P =0.672), while the endopeylotomy group had a lower success rate compared with both open surgery group and laparo-scopic group(69.6% vs.93.8%,P =0.01;69.6% vs.90.3%,P =0.048,respectively).The complica-tion rates of open peyloplasty group,laparoscopic peyloplasty group and endopeylotomy group were compa-rable(15.6%,16.1% and 13.0%,respectively,P >0.05).Conclusion:The laparoscopic peyloplasty group had a longer operative time than open peyloplasty group,while its post-operative stay was shorter. There was no significant difference on the operative blood loss between open peyloplasty group and laparo-scopic peyloplasty group.Although the success rate of endopyelotomy was lower than those of the other two groups,it had advantages over the aspect of operative time,operative blood loss and post operative stay.

Objectives:To validate the Chinese version of the Ureteral Stent Symptoms Questionnaire(Chinese-USSQ) in patients with an indwelling ureteral stent.Methods:The original USSQ was translated into Chinese and linguistically validated following the cross-cultural adaptation of health-related quality of life measures.A total of 83 patients (cases) with indwelling ureteral stent and 90 healthy subjects (controls) were asked to complete the Chinese-USSQ as well as European Quality of Life Visual Analogue scale(EQ-VAS)(for both genders), the International Prostate Symptom Scale (IPSS) (for male), and Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (for female). Patients were evaluated at weeks 1 and 4 after stent placement and at week 4 after removal. The psychometric properties of the questionnaire were analyzed.Results:The Chinese version of USSQ include 43 items, which addressed various domains of health(6 sections) covering urinary symptoms, pain, general health, work performance and sexual matters with additional problems. A total of 78 patients(45 males and 33 females) and 90 controls (41 males and 49 females)were included for analysis. Internal consistencies (Cronbach′s α coefficients: 0.60-0.78) and test-retest reliability (Spearman correlation coefficient: 0.69-0.91) were satisfactory for urinary symptom, body pain, general health, and work performance domains. Most USSQ domains showed moderate correlations with each other. The convergent validity determined by correlation between other instruments and corresponding USSQ domain was satisfactory. At week 4 it was moderate for the urinary symptoms index compared to the IPSS in men(Spearman correlation coefficient>0.60), for the urinalry symptoms index compared to the UDI-6 score in women(Spearman correlation coefficient 0.52).Sensitivity to change and discriminant validity were also good in most domains ( P<0.01). Only a small proportion of the study population had an active sexual life with the stent in situ, which limited its analysis. Only 1(1.3%) and 6(7.7%) patients had an active sex life at week 1 and 4 after stent placement; meanwhile, 34(43.6%) patents were sexually active at week 4 after stent removal. Conclusion:The Chinese version of the USSQ is a reliable and valid instrument that can be used for Chinese patients with a indwelling ureteral stent in the clinical and research settings.

Objective:To intestigate the clinical efficacy between modified Overlap anastomosis and traditional auxiliary incision anastomosis in laparoscopic total gastrectomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 115 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2016 to December 2018 were collected. There were 62 males and 53 females, aged from 27 to 83 years, with a median age of 62 years. Of 115 patients, 51 patients undergoing totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy with modified Overlap anastomosis using linear stapler were divided into modified Overlap group and 64 patients undergoing laparoscopic assisted total gastrectomy with traditional auxiliary incision anastomosis using circular stapler were divided into traditional assisted group. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) anastomotic complications; (4) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination or telephone interview was conducted to detected tumor recurrence and survival of patients up to December 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Count data were represented as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ranked data was analyzed using the rank sum test. Results:(1) Surgical situations: the operation time, time of esophagojejunostomy, volume of intraoperative blood loss, the number of lymph node dissected, length of proximal incisional margin and length of auxiliary incision of the modified Overlap group were (234.0±11.0)minutes, (29.4±2.1)minutes, (53±14)mL, 42±13, (2.0±0.3)cm and (5.1±0.4)cm, respectively. The above indicators of the traditional assisted group were (231.0±11.0)minutes, (29.2±2.2)minutes, (50±13)mL, 40±10, (2.2±0.4)cm and (8.2±0.4)cm, respectively. There was significant difference in the length of auxiliary incision between the two groups ( t=-43.098, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the operation time, time of esophagojejunostomy, volume of intraoperative blood loss, the number of lymph node dissected, length of proximal incisional margin between the two groups ( t=1.168, 0.460, 0.990, 1.127, -1.926, P>0.05). (2) Postoperative situations: cases with mild, moderate, severe pain (postoperative pain degree), time to first flatus, time to initial fluid diet intake, duration of postoperative hospital stay of the modified Overlap group were 40, 9, 2, (2.9±1.0)days, (4.8±2.2)days, (11.7±2.8)days, respectively. The above indicators of the traditional assisted group were 31, 27, 6, (3.9±1.4)days, (6.5±2.5)days, (13.0±3.1)days, respectively. There were significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-3.217, t= -4.344, -3.888, -2.261, P<0.05). (3) Anastomotic complications: cases with anastomotic leakage, cases with anastomotic bleeding, cases with anastomotic stenosis of the modified Overlap group were 1, 1, 0, respectively. The above indicators of the traditional assisted group were all 1. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). Cases with anastomotic leakage were cured after the treatment of enteral nutritional support through nasogastric catheterization, which were confirmed by gastroenterography. Cases with anastomotic bleeding were improved by active hemostatic therapy. Cases with anastomotic stenosis were improved after the symptomatic treatment of anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling. (4) Follow-up: 109 of the 115 patients were followed up. Forty-eight of 51 patients in the modified Overlap group were followed up for 15.0-45.0 months, with a median follow-up time of 33.5 months. Sixty-one of 64 patients in the traditional assisted group were followed up for 16.0-46.0 months, with a median follow-up time of 27.0 months. There was no tumor recurrence in the modified Overlap group. One patient in the traditional assisted group had tumor recurrence with liver metastasis and survived with tumor. There was no significant difference in tumor recurrence rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no patient died during the follow-up. Conclusion:Compared with traditional auxiliary incision anastomosis, patients undergoing total laparoscopic total gastrectomy with modified Overlap anastomosis have small incision, good postoperative recovery.

OBJECTIVE To prepare hyperoside mixed nanomicelles (Hyp-F127/TPGS) and optimize its preparation technology,and to investigate its intestinal absorption characteristics. METHODS Hyp-F127/TPGS was prepared by thin film dispersion method. Based on single factor test and Plackett-Burman design ,combined with Box-Behnken response surface method , the preparation process was optimized and validated using entrapped efficiency (EE)and drug loading (DL)as evaluation indexes , F127-TPGS mass ratio ,hydration time and the amount of Hyp as factors. The appearance and microscopic morphology of Hyp-F127/TPGS obtained by the optimal technology were observed ,and the particle size ,polydispersity index (PDI)and Zeta potential were also determined. The critical micelle concentration (CMC)of blank micelle (F127/TPGS),in vitro release behavior and preliminary stability of Hyp-F 127/TPGS were investigated ,and absorption characteristics of Hyp-F 127/TPGS were investigated by in situ unidirectional intestinal perfusion model. RESULTS The optimal preparation technology of Hyp-F 127/TPGS included F127-TPGS mass ratio of 2∶1,hydration time of 2 h,and Hyp amount of 9 mg. Results of three validation tests showed that the EE of Hyp-F 127/TPGS was (87.20±0.99)%,and the DL was (5.02±1.20)%,deviations from predicted values were 0.92% and 2.39%. The micelles prepared by optimal technology were yellow ,clear and transparent solution ,with good Tyndall effect ;under transmission electron microscope ,they were spherical ,complete and evenly distributed ;the particle size was (15.02±0.16)nm, the PDI was 0.092±0.031,and the Zeta potential was (-6.67±1.47)mV. The CMC of F 127/TPGS was 21 μg/mL,Hyp-F127/ TPGS was stable after 4 weeks of storage at 4 ℃,and the cumulative release rates of Hyp-F 127/TPGS and Hyp control were (66.30±2.93)%(96 h)and(99.24±0.27)%(60 h),respectively. Hyp-F 127/TPGS and Hyp reference were absorbed in each intestinal segment ,and the main absorption sites were jejunum and duodenum respectively ;drug absorption rate constant andapparent absorption coefficient of the former were significantly higher than those of the latter (P<0.05 or P<0.01). E-mail:zhangyuhangxz@163.com CONCLUSIONS The optimized preparation technology of Hyp-F127/TPGS is stable and feasible ;prepared Hyp-F 127/ TPGS shows a sustained -release effect ,which promotes the intestinal absorption of H yp to a certain extent.
