Objective To compare the clinical application of Da Vinci robot surgical system (RSS) with traditional open surgery (TOS).Methods From Feb 2015 to Jul 2016,48 cases of upper abdominal surgical disease patients were divided into RSS group (23 cases) and TOS group (25 patients) randomly.Results The anesthesia time [(194 ±16)min vs.(181 ±11)min,t=3.262,P=0.002] and operation time [(167 ± 14) min vs.(158 ± 14) min,t =2.292,P =0.027] were much longer in the RSS,while the blood loss during operation significantly less than the TOS [(128 ± 62) ml vs.(190 ± 86) ml,t =-2.886,P =0.006].The RSS has obvious advantages in 24 h-drainage [(69 ± 27) ml vs.(114 ± 54) ml.t =-3.680,P =0.001],time to out-of-bed activity [(27.7 ± 8.0) h vs.(35.7 ± 9.9) h,t =-3.067,P =0.004],BPS,postoperative exhausting time[(27.2 ±5.9)h vs.(32.8 ±8.3)h,t =-2.690,P =0.01] and length of hospital stay [(10.4 ± 1.8) d vs.(11.8 ± 1.9) d,t =-2.600,P =0.013].But the total hospital cost was higher in RSS [(117 000 ± 10 000) yuan vs.(77 000 ± 8 000) yuan,t =15.087,P =0.000)].Conclusions The RSS is a much minimally invasive surgery,reducing blood loss and postoperative pain,promoting rapid recovery,shortening hospital stay.

Objective To construct double expression retroviral vectors targeting chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) b3a2-type mRNA and investigate its effect on the phenotype of K562 cells. Methods The eGFP coding sequence was inserted into the retroviral vector pMSCV-neo to construct pMSCV/GFP, then H1-RNA pol III-based transcription cassettes was subcloned into it to form pMSCV/GFP-H1-BCR/ABL40AS. Two control vectors pMSCV/GFP-H1-BCR/ABL40S & pMSCV/GFP-H1-BCR/ABL80AS were constructed in addition. All these constructions were identified by restriction enzyme analysis and DNA sequencing. After that, the recombinant vectors were transferred into retrovirus packaging cell line PT67 by using lipofectamine2000, and G418 were used to select stable virus-producing cell lines. Viral titer was determined by infection of NIH3T3 cells sequentially. The cell-growth curve was assayed, cell apoptosis was checked with Annexin V-PE/7AAD double staining and flow cytometry analysis after 24-hour infection, the PKR phosphorylation was assayed by Western blotting. Results The plasmids were successfully constructed. Four cell lines, named as PT67-MSCV/GFP, PT67-40as, PT67-40s and PT67-80as were gained by G418 selection, and virus titers were 6.2?10~ 5 , 5.6?10~ 5 , 4.6?10~ 5 and 6.0?10~ 5 CFU/ml respectively. PT67-40as suspensions could induce K562 cell apoptosis by (22.54?3.19)%, significantly different from PT67-MSCV/GFP or PT67-40s (P

All the samples with reactive by ELISA or HIV identification assay were sent to the Shenzhen Center for Dis-ease Control and Prevention (CDC) for Western Blot (WB) diagnostic tests .Results The samples with reac-tive by the third generation ELISA reagents ,the fourth generation ELISA reagents ,both ELISA reagents and SS-NAT were 188 ,340 ,422 and 103 ,which reactive rate was 0 .698‰(188/269 228) ,1 .263‰(340/269 228) , 1 .567‰(422/269 228) and 0 .383‰(103/269 228) ,respectively .We found four samples with nonreactive by ELISA but reactive by SS-NAT .The four donors were found HIV reactive by both ELISA and SS-NAT after tracing .All the samples with reactive by ELISA or HIV identification assay were sent to CDC for confirmatory tests and 103 of them were positive .The positive detection rate of transfusion-transmissible HIV infection af-ter ELISA detection was 1∶67 307(4/269 228) .Conclusion The application of SS-NAT in blood screening can improve the HIV positive detection rate ,shorten window period of HIV detection and reduce residual risk of transfusion-transmissible HIV infection ,and then blood safety can be effectively improved .

Acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF)is a complex clinical syndrome of acute liver function deterioration on the basis of chronic liver diseases,characterized by hepatic and/or extra-hepatic organ failure and a high short-term mortality rate.At present,there is still a lack of effective treatment methods,and the mortality rate of ACLF reaches 50%-90%after comprehensive medical treatment.A simple,rapid,and accurate prognostic prediction model for ACLF can help clinicians accurately judge the prognosis of ACLF patients in the early stage,identify the patients with poor prognosis,and provide early interventions,which can improve patient prognosis to some extent and help to reduce mortality rates.With the continuous development of computer science and increasingly powerful data processing capabilities,artificial intelligence is gaining more attention and has been applied in various aspects of liver diseases including diagnosis,treatment,and prognostic prediction.With reference to the current status of research in China and globally,this article reviews the common prognostic models for ACLF and machine learning-based prognostic prediction models and summarizes the latest research advances,in order to provide new perspectives for the future development of prognostic prediction models for ACLF.
