Objective: To analyze the correlation between ABO blood group compatibility and the risk of early complications after liver transplantation, and to identify risk factors for clinical intervention. Methods: Clinical data of 404 liver transplant recipients and donors were collected. Based on donor-recipient ABO matching, patients were divided into three groups: ABO-Identical (ABO-Id, n=313), ABO-compatible (ABO-c, n=68), ABO-incompatible (ABO-i, n=23). Clinical data, early complications, and associated risk factors were compared. Results: Compared with the ABO-Id, ABO-c and ABO-i recipients were younger, had a higher proportion of primary biliary atresia, and more frequently received living-donor transplantation from relatives (P<0.05). Overall complication rates were: ABO-c 47.1% (32/68), ABO-i 43.5% (10/23), ABO-Id 39.3% (123/313), with no significant intergroup difference (P>0.05). Infection was the most common complication [ABO-c 30.9% (21/68), ABO-i 21.7% (5/23), ABO-Id 17.9% (56/313)]. No significant differences were found in infection, vascular/biliary or acute kidney injury/renal failure among the three groups (P>0.05). However, ABO-c group had significantly higher rates of ascites/abscess (20.6% vs 8.9%, P<0.05) and pleural effusion (14.7% vs 7.0%, P<0.05) than ABO-Id group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications and ABO blood group between ABO non-Identical (ABO-c and ABO-i) and Identical groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of ascites/abscess in ABO non-Identical was higher than that in ABO-Id liver transplantation (P<0.05), and the risk of ascites/abscess after ABO-c liver transplantation was 2.246 times higher than that of ABO-Id liver transplantation. The primary biliary atresia were a risk factor for postoperative ascites/abscess. Conclusion: Enhanced postoperative management is critical for ABO-nonidentical (especially ABO-compatible) recipients, and those with biliary atresia to reduce complication risks.

Objective:To explore the significance of laparoscopic virtual reality simulation training by analyzing the learning curve of laparoscopic cholecystectomy among young general surgeons who had participated in laparoscopic skills training at our hospital.Methods:Fifty young surgeons were divided into two groups, with the intervention group participating in virtual reality simulation training and the control group participating in traditional laparoscopic clinical training. After completion of the training, 30 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed under the supervision of highly qualified surgeons with extensive laparoscopic experience. CUSUM analysis was applied to plot the trainees' surgical learning curve based on the completion rate, surgical score and operative time. " x" is the number of surgical cases and " k" is the slope. The value of x when k=0 was calculated and the surgical learning curves and intraoperative scores of the 2 groups of trainees were compared. SPSS 23.00 was performed for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The intervention and control groups crossed the surgical learning curve at x=19.24±0.39 and x=21.72±0.73 respectively, with significant differences ( P<0.01); the intervention and control groups scored (10.82±2.73) and (9.71±2.69) for gallbladder exposure ( t=4.61, P<0.01), (12.59±3.12) and (8.87±2.99) for gallbladder dissection triangle ( t=6.21, P<0.01), and (10.69±3.38) and (8.80±3.55) for gallbladder dissection ( t=3.10, P<0.01). Conclusions:Virtual reality simulation training can facilitate the translation of basic laparoscopic training skills into clinical skills and can promote the growth of young general surgeons.

Objective To study the levels of serum Periostin and interleukin(I1-)-18 in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD),and to analyze their correlation with the severity of the disease and their predictive value for BPD.Methods A total of 62 preterm infants with BPD diagnosed and treated in the hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were retrospectively selected as the BPD group,and 80 preterm in-fants without BPD during the same period were selected as the non-BPD group.According to the severity of BPD,the infants with BPD were divided into mild subgroup(22 cases),moderate subgroup(24 cases)and se-vere subgroup(16 cases).The serum levels of Periostin and IL-18 were detected by enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the clinical parameters.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of BPD,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of each indicator for BPD.Results Compared with the non-BPD group,the BPD group had a significantly higher proportion of infants with pulmonary surfactant(PS)use,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,apnea,patent ductus arteriosus,and serum levels of Periostin and IL-18,as well as a significantly longer duration of mechanical ventilation,noninvasive respiratory support,and length of hospital stay.The lung function parameters[tidal volume per kilogram(VT/kg),ratio of time to peak tidal expiratory flow to time(TPTEF/TE),ratio of volume to peak tidal expiratory flow to volume(VPEF/VE),expiratory flow at 50％tidal volume(50％TEF),expiratory flow at 75％tidal volume(75％TEF)]and 1,5 min Apgar score of BPD group were lower than that of non-BPD group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The serum levels of Periostin and IL-18 in mild subgroup,moderate subgroup and severe subgroup were increased in turn.The levels of serum Periostin and IL-18 were negatively correlated with pulmonary function indexes(VT/kg,50％TEF,75％TEF,TPTEF/TE,VPEF/VE,P＜0.05).Serum Periostin,IL-18 and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome were independent risk factors for BPD(P＜0.05),and PS was a protective factor(P＜0.05).Serum Periostin,IL-18 and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome were independent risk factors for the severity of BPD(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(95％CI)of serum Periostin and IL-18 alone and in combination for predicting BPD were 0.841(0.814-0.899),0.863(0.820-0.897),0.922(0.878-0.949),respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of combined prediction were 0.902 and 0.825,respectively.The area under the curve of the combination of the two indica-tors for predicting BPD was greater than that of each index alone,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant(Z=5.357,4.894,P＜0.001).Conclusion The levels of serum Periostin and IL-18 are increased in in-fants with BPD,which are related to the severity of BPD and lung function.The combination of serum Perios-tin and IL-18 has a high predictive value for BPD.

Objective:To explore the structural characteristics of intestinal microflora in children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease（NAFLD）and the relationship between intestinal microflora and the occurrence as well as development of NAFLD in children.Methods:Fifteen children with NAFLD diagnosed at the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from January 2022 to December 2022 were selected as subjects，and 15 healthy children who received routine physical examinations at the outpatient clinic during the same period were randomly selected as healthy control group.The height，weight，waist circumference，blood pressure，blood biochemistry of all children were collected.At the same time，the fresh fecal samples of all children were collected，and the biological information of intestinal flora was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing.Results:In the NAFLD group，there were eight males and seven females，with an average age of（11.13±1.77）years.In healthy control group，there were seven males and eight females，with an average age of（9.73±2.25）years.There were no significant differences in sex，age，blood pressure between two groups.Compared with the healthy control group，the levels of body mass index，waist circumference，waist-to-height ratio，alanine aminotransferase，aspartate transaminase，gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase，total bilirubin，direct bilirubin，unconjugated bilirubin，low density lipoprotein cholesterol，uric acid and serum insulin significantly increased and high density lipoprotein cholesterol significantly decreased in NAFLD group（ P<0.05）.The results of species diversity analysis showed that chaol index and observed-species index in NAFLD group were significantly higher than those in healthy control group（ P<0.05）.Species diversity analysis showed that the species with increased abundance in NAFLD group included：Proteobacteria，Gammaproteobacteria，Enterobacteriaceae，Klebsiella，Escherichia-Shigella，Escherichia-Shigella-unclassified.Differential species with increased abundance in the healthy control group included：Bifidobacterium species，Bifidobacterium，Bifidobacteriaceae，Bifidobacteriales，Actinobacteria，Actinobacteriota，Bacteroidia，Bacteroidales，Streptococcus-thermophilus. Conclusion:There are metabolic abnormalities and obvious changes in the structure of intestinal flora in children with NAFLD.Exogenous supplementation of Bifidobacterium，Streptococcus thermophilus and Bacteroides may prevent the occurrence of NAFLD，delay the progression of disease and improve fat deposition in the liver.

Objective:To evaluate the distribution characteristics of choroidal vascularity index (CVI) in macula among normal children using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and to investigate the influencing factors.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Sixty-three children aged 6 to 12 years were enrolled in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2021 to November 2021.Spherical equivalent refraction, axial length (AL) and other ocular biological parameters were measured.Macula-centered CVI and choroidal thickness (ChT) were measured by SS-OCT angiography.According to the ETDRS partition, the obtained image was divided into macular central fovea (0-1 mm diameter), inner ring (1-3 mm diameter) and outer ring (3-6 mm diameter) zones.Data from the right eye were selected for statistical analysis.CVI in the three rings and four zones (superior, temporal, inferior and nasal zones) of the inner and outer rings were compared.Univariate and multiple linear regression analyses were used to analyze the correlation between CVI and sex, AL, anterior chamber depth (ACD), ChT and pupil diameter.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (No.2021-KY-0399-003). Written informed consent was obtained from each guardian.Results:The average CVI in the macular central fovea, inner ring and outer ring were 0.35±0.12, 0.32±0.10 and 0.27±0.08, respectively, with a significant difference ( F=10.96, P<0.001), and significant differences in CVI were found in pairwise comparisons of the three ring zones (all at P<0.05). Significant differences in CVI were found among superior, temporal, inferior and nasal zones in inner and outer rings ( Fring=11.60, P=0.001; Fzone=12.02, P<0.05). The CVI was smaller in superior and nasal zones in inner ring than in temporal zone, greater in superior, temporal and inferior zones in outer ring than in nasal zone, smaller in superior zone of outer ring than that of the inner ring, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.001). The single factor linear regression analysis showed that ChT in the fovea, inner ring and outer ring were the influencing factors of CVI in the three ring zones (all at β=0.001, P<0.001). Pupil diameter ( β=0.034, P=0.038; β=0.040, P=0.003; β=0.024, P=0.011) and ACD ( β=0.097, P=0.034; β=0.097, P=0.013; β=0.061, P=0.032) were the influencing factors of CVI in fovea, inner ring and outer ring.After multiple linear regression analysis, the regression equations were established as follows: CVI in the macular fovea=0.001×ChT in the macular fovea + 0.001×ChT in the inner ring+ 0.001×ChT in the outer ring-0.301 ( R2=0.514, F=6.875, P<0.001); CVI in the inner ring=0.001×ChT in the macular fovea+ 0.001×ChT in the inner ring+ 0.001×ChT in the outer ring+ 0.088×AL-0.307 ( R2=0.603, F=9.870, P<0.001); CVI in the outer ring=0.001×ChT in the macular fovea+ 0.001×ChT in the inner ring+ 0.001×ChT in the outer ring-0.135 ( R2=0.601, F=9.781, P<0.001). Conclusions:In children aged 6-12 years old, the CVI is higher in the macular central fovea than in inner and outer rings, and the CVI in nasal zone is the smallest in both inner and outer rings.The thicker the ChT, the higher the CVI in all zones in the macular area; the deeper the anterior chamber, the higher the CVI in the inner ring.

Objective:To evaluate the combined effect of an trajectory log field based(LBF)and two commercial dose reconstruction systems on volume-modulated arc therapy(VMAT)dose verification of lung cancer.Methods:An in-house program was developed to introduce errors in trajectory log of TrueBeam to the origin plan and recalculate the dose of the error plan in treatment planning system(TPS). A total of 18 lung cancer cases treated by two-arc VMAT were selected to perform on LINAC and measured by ArcCheck simultaneously. Then, the reconstructed doses were obtained by 3DVH. The mode of reconstruction was calculated by LFB and Compass. Five of the 18 cases were performed on LINAC two times in four hours and measured by ArcCheck to evaluate the stability of the TrueBeam performance. The 18 plans were recalculated and performed on LINAC with a solid water phantom with 5 cm build-up, 4 cm back scattering thickness and a FC65-G detector in the center. The measured dose by detector was compared with the reconstructed dose by three systems.Results:TheTruebeam performance was stable. For all of the 18 cases, the point dose measured by FC65-G and reconstructed by three systems had a deviation of less than 2% to the TPS calculated. For all of the organs reconstructed by LBF and most organs reconstructed by 3DVH and Compass, the γ pass rate between them and TPS all exceeded 90% under all criteria, as well as the ArcCheck measured results. For all the organ dose difference between reconstructed and TPS, LBF system had the smallest difference, followed by the Compass system except the lung, and the 3DVH had the highest difference.Conclusions:LBF, 3DVH and Compass can reflect the VMAT dose verification results of lung cancer from different perspectives. The combined application of three systems can demonstrate the verification results in an intuitive manner, which is beneficial for subsequent analysis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) on the maturation and differentiation of dendritic cells (DCs) and the mechanism involved in the regulation of inflammation in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods:The full-term fetal umbilical cords(about 4-5 cm) were collected from Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University after cesarean section. hUC-MSCs were isolated and cultured in primary culture. Flow cytometry was used for phenotype identification, adipogenic and osteogenic staining. 20 ml peripheral blood samples from 5 SAP patients were collected, and monocytes were isolated using lymphocyte separation solution and then induced by adding granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), IL-4 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and cultured as DCs. According to different culture methods, DCs were divided into DCs group, hUC-MSCs+ DCs group and hUC-MSCs+ DCs+ NS398 group (NS398 was a specific inhibitor of COX-2, a downstream regulatory gene of NF-κB). The phenotype of DCs was detected by flow cytometry, and the levels of IL-1β, IL-lα, IL-2, IL-6 and IL-10 in the supernatant of cell culture for 24 hours were determined. The expression of toll like receptor (TLR)-4, IKKα and NF-κB-p65 were detected by Western blot.Results:The hUC-MSCs were successfully cultured, and their surface markers CD 90, CD 105 and CD 73 were positively expressed, and they could differentiate into adipocytes and bone cells. With the prolongation of culture time, DCs differentiated from immature to mature cells. Compared with the DCs group, the proportion of regulatory DCs (regDCs) was increased in the hUC-MSCs+ DCs group, and the marker CD 11b was significantly up regulated [(14.26±1.25)% vs (4. 87±0.58)%], CD 1a and CD 11c were significantly down regulated [(2.81±0.34)% vs (13.62±1.52)%, (3.88±0.5)% vs (11. 8±1.22)%]. All the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The expression of IL-1β, INF-γ and IL-6 in culture supernatant were down regulated, but the difference was not statistically significant; The pro-inflammatory factor IL-1α was significantly decreased [(14.91±2.58)ng/L vs (30.19±7.75)ng/L], and the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 was significantly increased [ (17.03±4.69)ng/L vs (1.83±0.14)ng/L]. The expression levels of NF-κB-p65 and TLR4 were significantly down regulated (0.74±0.02 vs 0.97±0.01, 0.89±0.01 vs 1.72±0.01), and the expression of IKKα protein was significantly up regulated (1.12±0.01 vs 0.21±0.01) in hUC-MSCs-DCs group. All the differences were statistically significant (all P value<0.05). Compared with DCs group and hUC-MSCs+ DCs group, the expression levels of NF-κB-p65 and TLR4 were significantly down regulated (0.34±0.01 vs 0.97±0.01, 0.74±0.02 and 0.14±0.01 vs 1.72±0.01, 0.89±0.01), while the expression of IKKα protein was significantly up regulated (1.68±0.01 vs 0.21±0.01, 1.12±0.01) in hUC-MSCs+ DCS+ NS398 group. All the differences were statistically significant (all P value<0.05). Conclusions:In SAP patients, hUC-MSCs can inhibit the maturation and differentiation of DCs, and induce CD 11bhigh CD 1alow CD 11clowrregDCs to participate in immune regulation, which may play an anti-inflammatory role by inhibiting the inflammatory cascade through TLR4/IKKα/NF-κB/COX-2 pathway.

Objectives:To establish a grading model on prognosis of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment on femoropopliteal de novo lesions, and assess whether patients at high risk could benefit from combination of directional atherectomy(DA).Methods:The clinical data of 114 patients with femoropopliteal de novo lesions admitted to Department of Vascular Surgery, Peking University People′s Hospital from October 2015 to January 2019 were collected retrospectively. There were 95 patients(108 limbs) underwent DCB treatment, including 66 males and 29 females, aged 71.9 years old(range:48 to 91 years), and 19 patients (21 limbs) underwent DA combined with DCB treatment, including 13 males and 6 females, aged 69.5 years old(range: 62 to 80 years). The demographic data, intraoperative and postoperative conditions of the patients were collected. Cox regression model was performed for modeling and then goodness of fit was tested. Kaplan-Meier estimate was carried out between the two groups for patients at high risk and low risk, respectively.Results:All patients were followed up for more than 24 months. Restenosis occurred on 34 limbs in DCB group and 3 limbs in DA+DCB group. Severe calcification( HR=3.804, 95% CI:2.460 to 5.883), popliteal artery involvement ( HR=2.104, 95% CI:1.368 to 3.236), long lesion ( HR=1.824, 95% CI:1.196 to 2.780), poor runoff( HR=1.736, 95% CI:1.025 to 2.940), chronic kidney disease( HR=1.601, 95% CI:1.040 to 2.463) were independent risk factors of restenosis after DCB treatment, and were defined 3, 2, 1, 1 and 1 points, respectively. Total points≥3 was regarded as high risk group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients in low risk group did not benefit from DA+DCB comparing with DCB with regard to primary patency at 24 months (77.78% vs. 90.31%, P=0.271) while patients benefited from DA+DCB comparing with DCB in high risk group(88.26% vs. 20.80%, P<0.01). Conclusions:The grading model shows satisfying clinical value. The clinical effect of DA+DCB is better than DCB along in high risk group. Patients at high risk are supposed to receive aggressive vessel preparation like DA.

Objective:To Analyze the status of HIV/AIDS antiviral treatment and influencing factors in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, 2004-2017.Methods:Data were retrieved from the case reporting cards of Ningxia during the 2004-2017 through National HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Response Information Management System, descriptive and trend tests were used to analyze the trends and main characteristics of HIV/AIDS antiviral treatment over the years in Ningxia, and logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the treatment coverage of this population.Results:Of the 1 365 cases, the ratio of male to female is 4.1∶1. The most of HIV/AIDS were young adults. The proportion of HIV/AIDS whose age were more than 60 years was maintained at 9%, while the proportion of cases less than 20 years increased from none to 5%. The majority of marital status was married/cohabitation, while the unmarried showed an increasing trend. The transmission route is mainly sexual transmission, and the trend of increase of homosexual sexual behavior is obvious. The average baseline CD4+ T lymphocyte count was 346.0 (251.0~564.0)/μl, All the HIV/AIDS cases developed symptoms of AIDS at the beginning of treatment in 2004-2008, decreased gradually from 2009 to 2017. Median of the interval between HIV confirmation and ART initiation was 1 months. Analysis of influencing factors of "Discovery and Treatment" showed that gender, age, route of transmission, clinical staging and CD4 cell result of patients were influencing factors, clinical staging III/IV was the risk factor of " discovery and treatment"Conclusions:There are many influencing factors for "Discovery and Treatment" of AIDS in Ningxia, among which clinical stage III/IV is a risk factor for the implementation of the "Discovery and Treatment" strategy; the population who received treatment tend to be younger; more precise intervention measures of "Prevention and Treatment" measures should be carried out among the different ages and different groups of people for anti-virus services.
