Objective To discuss the feasibility of the establishment of a Y-shaped channel with windowing technique in treating the stent shunt obstruction occurring after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).Methods From February 2012 to December 2016,puncture windowing technique was employed in 7 patients to establish a Y-shaped channel in order to treat the stent shunt obstruction complicated by gastric varices bleeding or ascites due to recurrent portal hypertension.The preoperative Child-Pugh scores of liver function ranged from 5 to 10 points,with a mean of (6.85±1.56) points.The blood flow in both the portal vein and the shunt was determined before operation as well as at 5 days and 1,3,6months after operation;the post operative results were compared with preoperative ones.Results Y-shaped channel was successfully reconstructed in all 7 patients.The patients were followed up for a mean of 11months.Neither death nor hepatic encephalopathy occurred.Conclusion For the treatment of post-TIPS stent shunt obstruction,Y-shaped channel reconstruction within the occluded stent by using windowing technique is safe and effective,the operation is simple and easy.Therefore,this technique has certain clinical value.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of nasal flora and the pathogenic role of differential microbiome in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (nAR).Methods:Thirty-five patients with AR who attended the rhinology outpatient clinic of the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University from February to July 2022 were selected. A total of 35 nAR patients were selected as the test group, and 20 cases of healthy people with physical examination at the same period were selected as the control group, including 39 males and 51 females, aged 8 to 55 years. 16SrDNA High-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the relative abundance from nasal flora in the three groups of subjects. Alpha diversity index analysis was conducted with R software, and differences between groups were analyzed with LEfSe, Metastats, and t tests. At the same time, the role of microbiome and its relationship with environmental factors were analyzed with R software. Results:There was a significant difference in the bacterial composition of the samples from the three groups, with the relative abundance of Staphylococcus aureus ( P=0.032) and Corynebacterium proinquum ( P=0.032) within the AR group being significantly higher than that of the nAR group, and that of Lactobacillus murinus, Lactobacillus kunkeei, and Alcaligenes faecalis ( P value was 0.016, 0.005, and 0.001, respectively) being significantly lower than that of the nAR group. The relative abundance of Ackermannia muciniphila within the nAR group was higher than that of the control group ( P=0.009). Correlation analysis of environmental factors showed a negative correlation between Lactobacillus kunkeei and IgE ( P=0.044), and a positive correlation between Lactobacillus murinus and age ( P=0.019). AR and nAR random forest prediction models were constructed for the five genera, respectively, and the area under the curve (AUC) of the models of Streptococcus-SP-FF10, Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea, Pseudomonas parafulva, Acinetobacter ursingii, and Azotobacter chroococcum in the AR group was 100% (95%CI: 100% to 100%). The AUC for the Pseudomonas parafulva, Azotobacter chroococcum, Closoridium baratii, Turicibacter-SP-H121, and Streptococcus lutetiensis models in the nAR group was 98.4% (95%CI: 94.9% to 100%). Conclusions:The distribution of nasal flora in AR patients, nAR patients and healthy subjects is significantly different, and the changes of bacterial flora abundance are significantly related to the occurrence of AR and nAR. Combined detection of microbiota has the potential to diagnose AR and nAR patients.

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the short-term and long-term prognostic significance of dif-ferent systemic inflammatory scores in patients with gastric cancer:neutrophil lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio ( PLR). Methods The clinical data of 240 patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical surgery were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between NLR,PLR,glasgow prognostic score( GPS) and clinicopathological characteristics and perioperative compli-cations were compared. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The Log-rank methods were used to test the difference significance,and the multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox regression risk model. Results Patients in the high NLR and PLR groups were older,had a high GPS,deep tumor infiltration,more lymph node metastasis,and a late TNM stage (P<0. 05). The rate of positive margin in the high NLR group was higher(P<0. 05). Patients in the high NLR and PLR groups re-quired significantly higher transfusion rates than those in the low NLR and PLR groups(P<0. 05),and the high NLR group had more postoperative complications(P<0. 05). Univariate analysis showed that age,GPS,tumor location,tumor infiltration depth,lymph node metastasis status,TNM stage,vascular tumor thrombus,nerve infiltration,NLR and PLR were associated with postoperative survival of gastric cancer patients(P<0. 05). The overall survival(OS)in high NLR and high PLR groups was lower than that of low NLR and low PLR groups(P=0. 018 and P<0. 001). Cox regression analysis showed GPS and lymph node metastasis were independent prog-nostic factors of OS(P<0. 001 and P=0. 002). Conclusion Preoperative systemic inflammatory scores NLR and PLR are prognos-tic factors affecting the preoperative clinical outcomes of gastric cancer. It is recommended to be used in combination with other prog-nostic indicators for routine use in the prognosis of patients undergoing radical gastrectomy.

Accurate source localization of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) is the primary condition of surgical removal of EZ. The traditional localization results based on three-dimensional ball model or standard head model may cause errors. This study intended to localize the EZ by using the patient-specific head model and multi-dipole algorithms using spikes during sleep. Then the current density distribution on the cortex was computed and used to construct the phase transfer entropy functional connectivity network between different brain areas to obtain the localization of EZ. The experiment result showed that our improved methods could reach the accuracy of 89.27% and the number of implanted electrodes could be reduced by (19.34 ± 7.15)%. This work can not only improve the accuracy of EZ localization, but also reduce the additional injury and potential risk caused by preoperative examination and surgical operation, and provide a more intuitive and effective reference for neurosurgeons to make surgical plans.
