Objective To compare the clinical effect of three-dimensional(3D)and two-dimensional(2D)imaging systems in laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer.Methods The retrospective cohort study was adopted.The clinical data of the 97 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer at the Xinmin Branch of the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University between May 2012 and December 2014 were collected.Of 97 patients,47 undergoing 3D laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer were allocated into the 3D group and 50 undergoing 2D laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer were allocated into the 2D group.The operation followed strictly tumor-free and total mesorectal excision principles.Observation indicators included:(1)surgical situations:operation time,time of deep lymph nodes dissected,volume of intraoperative blood loss,bleeding volume of obturator lymph nodes dissected,number of lymph nodes dissected,postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay.(2)Follow-up situations:follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect the survival of patients and tumor recurrence and metastasis up to December 2015.Measurement data with normal distribution were presented as-x±s and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test.Count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results(1)Surgical situations:all the patients underwent successful laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer,without conversion to open surgery.Operation time,time of deep lymph nodes dissected,volume of intraoperative blood loss,bleeding volume of obturator lymph nodes dissected,number of lymph nodes dissected and duration of postoperative hospital stay were(134.6±18.5)minutes,(21.2±2.7)minutes,(65±20)mL,(16±3)mL,23.6±3.5,(8.2±2.3)days in the 3D group and(157.4±17.8)minutes,(25.2±2.5)minutes,(89±27)mL,(23±5)mL,20.5±2.8,(9.4±2.1)days in the 2D group,respectively,with statistically significant differencesbetween the 2 groups(t=2.999,3.739,2.327,4.221,2.337,1.274,P＜0.05).The postoperative complications were detected in 7 patients in the 3D group and 9 patients in the 2D group,with no statisfically significant difference between the 2 groups(x2=0.170,P＞0.05).(2)Follow-up situations:75 of 97 patients were followed up for 12-36 months with a median time of 24 months,including 35 in the 3D group and 40 in the 2D group,and they were tumor-free survival.Conclusion Compared with 2D laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer,3D laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer can shorten the operation time and reduce tissue damage and intraoperative blood loss,and it is beneficial to deep lymph node dissection.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the technical advantages of 3D laparoscopic and 2D laparoscopic surgery for gastrointestinal tumors.

METHODSClinical data of gastrointestinal cancer patients undergoing 3D laparoscopic or 2D laparoscopic surgery from January 2015 to January 2017 in our department were retrospectively analyzed These patients included 93 gastric cancer cases undergoing laparoscopic radical resection (total gastrectomy, 48 cases in 3D group, 45 cases in 2D group), 45 rectal cancer cases undergoing radical resection combined with lateral lymph node dissection (27 cases in 3D group, 18 cases in 2D group) and 76 right colon cancer cases undergoing radical resection (37 cases in 3D group, 39 cases in 2D group). The enrolled criteria of cases were 18-80 years old and diagnosed as advanced gastric or colorectal cancer by pathological examination. Patients with preoperative distant metastasis, severe heart or lung diseases who were not suitable for laparoscopic surgery, combined organ resection and conversion to open surgery were excluded. The choice of surgical procedure was determined by the discussion between patients and surgeon. Operations were performed by the same surgical team. Total operation time, complex operation time (deep lymph node dissection time, endoscopic intestinal anastomosis time), number of harvested lymph node, number of times in wrong grasp (accurate grasp for the same site needs to position for two times or more) and intraoperative bleeding were compared between 3D group and 2D group.

RESULTSThere were no significant differences in baseline data between 3D group and 2D group. All the patients completed laparoscopic radical operation successfully without conversion to open surgery. In patients with gastric cancer, compared with 2D group, the total operation time was shorter [(185±25) min vs. (190±27) min, P<0.05]; dissection time of No.10 and 11d lymph node [(40±8) min vs. (55±12)min, P<0.05], and No.7, 8, 9 and 12 lymph node [(30±6) min vs. (41±9) min, P<0.05] was shorter; the number of times in wrong grasp (5±2 vs. 11±2, P<0.05) was less in 3D group. In patients with rectal cancer, compared with group 2D, 3D group had shorter time of lateral lymph node dissection [(27±6) min vs. (35±9) min, P<0.05] and laparoscopic anastomosis [(45±7) min vs. (58±11) min, P<0.05]; less number of times in wrong grasp (4±2 vs. 13±2, P<0.05]. In patients with right colon cancer, 3D group had shorter laparoscopic anastomosis time [(38±7) min vs. (44±5) min, P<0.05] and less number of times in wrong grasp (5±1 vs. 13±3, P<0.05] as compared to 2D group.

CONCLUSION3D laparoscopic surgery for gastrointestinal tumors, compared with 2D laparoscopic technology has significant advantages, which can improve the spatial location and depth of operation, decrease the difficulty of fine operation, and shorten the operation time.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic law of moxibustion in Professor Zhou Meisheng's medical manuscripts for epidemic hemorrhagic fever (EHF) based on data mining and knowledge map technology.Methods:The manuscript data of Professor Zhou Meisheng's moxibustion treatment of EHFwere collected from Infectious Diseases Department of Dangshan County People's Hospital from December 16, 1985 to December 25, 1987. Graphpad Grism 8.0 software was used for descriptive analysis. PHP 5.4 program code was used for association rule analysis. SPSS Statistics 26.0 was used for clustering analysis. Neo4j Community 3.5.25 database was used to analyze the syndrome-weight graph.Results:205 prescriptions were included. There were 21 symptoms with frequency>40, in which the frequency of aversion to cold, fever, rash and irritability was 100%. The main types of moxibustion methods used in the treatment included moxibustion frame fumigation moxibustion, Wanying acupoint moxibustion pen moxibustion, and fire needle instead of moxibustion. There were 29 acupoints with a frequency of >25, including Zhongwan (CV12), Shenshu (BL23) and Mingmen (DU4), etc. Association rules showed that Sanyinjiao (SP6)-Zhongwan (CV12)-Feishu (BL13)-Shenshu (BL23)-Zhiyang (DU9) had the highest correlation. Six effective clustering combinations of moxibustion for EHF were summarized by clustering analysis. The weight graph can obtained the first 30 relationships with high correlation of target syndromes.Conclusions:Professor Zhou applied the idea of "moxibustion for heat syndrome" to the treatment of EHF, and took the method of "acupoint selection according to symptoms" as the main acupoint selection idea for moxibustion treatment of EHF. In clinical practice, moxibustion combined with auxiliary operation of TCM is often used to treat EHF, which can achieve good results.
