Objective:To clarify the application effect of information-guided enteral nutrition-associated diarrhea (ENAD) management process in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing non-invasive assisted ventilation.Methods:A mixed cohort study of pre- and post-control was conducted. Thirty-nine patients with COPD who were admitted to the emergency intensive care unit (ICU) of Huzhou First People's Hospital from July 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022 were enrolled. Taking the completion of the software development of ENAD management software for critically ill patients on January 28, 2022 as the time node, 20 patients admitted from July 1, 2021 to January 28, 2022 were set as the control group, and 19 patients admitted from January 29 to July 31, 2022 were set as the observation group. The two groups of patients received the same enteral nutrition support treatment, and the control group implemented the conventional ENAD treatment process with enteral nutrition intolerance disposal process as the core. On the basis of the control group, the observation group implemented the information-guided ENAD treatment process, and the system software actively captured the information of ENAD patients and reminded the medical team to improve the patient's diarrhea-related examination and provide alternative treatment plans. The duration of antidiarrhea, feeding interruption rate, and energy and protein intake, blood biochemical indexes, incidence of abnormal blood electrolyte metabolism, daily continuous non-invasive assisted ventilation and endotracheal intubation after 7 days of targeted diarrhea intervention were compared between the two groups.Results:Except for the basal pulse rate, there were no significant differences in gender distribution, age, and vital signs, basic nutritional status, arterial blood gas analysis and blood biochemistry at admission between the two groups, indicating comparability between the two groups. When ENAD occurred, the patients in the observation group obtained earlier cessation of diarrhea than those in the control group [days: 3.00 (2.00, 3.25) vs. 4.00 (3.00, 5.00), P < 0.01], and the feeding interruption rate was significantly lower than that in the control group [10.53% (2/19) vs. 65.00% (13/20), P < 0.01]. After 7 days of diarrhea intervention, the energy intake of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group [kJ·kg -1·d -1: 66.28 (43.34, 70.36) vs. 47.88 (34.60, 52.32), P < 0.01], the levels of hemoglobin (Hb), albumin (Alb) and serum prealbumin (PAB) were significantly higher than those in the control group [Hb (g/L): 119.79±10.04 vs. 110.20±7.75, Alb (g/L): 36.00 (33.75, 37.25) vs. 31.00 (30.00, 33.00), PAB (mg/L): 155.79±25.78 vs. 140.95±14.97, all P < 0.05], the daily continuous non-invasive assisted ventilation duration was significantly shorter than that of the control group [hours: 14 (12, 16) vs. 16 (14, 18), P < 0.01], and the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) was significantly lower than that of the control group [mmHg (1 mmHg ≈ 0.133 kPa): 66.00 (62.00, 70.00) vs. 68.00 (67.50, 70.05), P < 0.05]. However, there were no significant differences in protein intake, incidence of abnormal electrolyte metabolism, and incidence of endotracheal intubation due to acute respiratory failure between the two groups. Conclusion:The information-guided ENAD treatment process can enable the COPD patients undergoing continuous non-invasive assisted ventilation who experience ENAD to receive earlier cessation of diarrhea, and improve the protein energy metabolism and respiratory function of the patients.

Objective:To compare and evaluate recurrence patterns after robotic-assisted gastrectomy (RAG) versus laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy (LAG).Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study of 2915 consecutive patients with gastric adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative histology as T1-4aN0-3M0, who had undergone minimally invasive radical gastrectomy at four large gastric cancer treatment centers (Fujian Medical University Union Hospital: 1426 patients; the First Affiliated Hospital, Nanchang University: 1108; Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital: 196; and First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University: 185 cases) between 1 January 2015 and 30 June 2019. 930 patients had undergone RAG (RAG group) and 1985 had undergone LAG (LAG group). We assessed the following characteristics: age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, comorbidities, tumor size, extent of surgery, extent of lymph node dissection, pT, pN, year of surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy, after propensity score matching (1:1). There were no significant differences in baseline clinical characteristics between the two groups formed by propensity score matching (837 in each group) (all P>0.05). The 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS), recurrence pattern, and conditional RFS were compared. Results:We detected no significant differences in the overall recurrence rate at 3 years (128/837 [15.3%] vs. 141/837 [16.8%], P=0.387) or time to recurrence (15.7±8.1 months vs. 16.4±8.4 months, P=0.449) between the RAG and LAG groups. Peritoneal recurrence was the most common type of recurrence in both groups (55 [6.6%] vs. 69 [8.2%], P=0.524). The difference in 3-year RFS between the RAG and LAG groups was not statistically significant (83.2% vs. 82.5%, P=0.781). We found that age > 60 years, total gastrectomy, and worse pT stage and pN stage were independent risk factors for recurrence in the study patients (all P<0.05), whereas the surgical procedure (RAG or LAG) was not an independent risk factor for RFS ( P=0.242). The 3-year conditional RFS at various time points was comparable between the two groups (1 year postoperatively: 84.6% vs. 84.7%, P=0.793; 3 years postoperatively: 91.5% vs. 94.9%, P=0.647). Conclusions:In this multicenter study of patients with locally resectable gastric cancer, we demonstrated that RAG performed by surgeons at large gastric cancer centers is not inferior to LAG in 3-year recurrence rate or recurrence patterns.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical value of analgesia and sedation under bispectral index (BIS) monitoring combined with hydraulic coupled intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring in severe craniocerebral injury (sTBI).
METHODS:
(1) A prospective self-controlled parallel control study was conducted. A total of 32 patients with sTBI after craniotomy admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First People's Hospital of Huzhou from December 2020 to July 2021 were selected as the research objects. ICP was monitored by Codman monitoring system and hydraulically coupled monitoring system, and the difference and correlation between them were compared. (2) A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. A total of 108 sTBI patients admitted to the ICU of the First People's Hospital of Huzhou from August 2021 to August 2022 were selected patients were divided into 3 groups according to the random number table method. All patients were given routine treatment after brain surgery. On this basis, the ICP values of the patients in group A (35 cases) were monitored by Codman monitoring system, the ICP values of the patients in group B (40 cases) were monitored by hydraulic coupling monitoring system, and the ICP values of the patients in group C (33 cases) were monitored combined with hydraulic coupling monitoring system, and the analgesia and sedation were guided by BIS. The ICP after treatment, cerebrospinal fluid drainage time, ICP monitoring time, ICU stay time, complications and Glasgow outcome score (GOS) at 6 months after surgery were compared among the 3 groups. In addition, patients in group B and group C were further grouped according to the waveforms. If P1 = P2 wave or P2 and P3 wave were low, they were classified as compensatory group. If the round wave or P2 > P1 wave was defined as decompensated group, the GOS scores of the two groups at 6 months after operation were compared.
RESULTS:
(1) There was no significant difference in ICP values measured by Codman monitoring system and hydraulic coupling monitoring system in the same patient (mmHg: 11.94±1.76 vs. 11.88±1.90, t = 0.150, P = 0.882; 1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa). Blan-altman analysis showed that the 95% consistency limit (95%LoA) of ICP values measured by the two methods was -4.55 to 4.68 mmHg, and all points fell within 95%LoA, indicating that the two methods had a good correlation. (2) There were no significant differences in cerebrospinal fluid drainage time, ICP monitoring time, ICU stay time, and incidence of complications such as intracranial infection, intracranial rebleeding, traumatic hydrocephalus, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and accidental extubation among the 3 groups of sTBI patients (P > 0.05 or P > 0.017). The ICP value of group C after treatment was significantly lower than that of group A and group B (mmHg: 20.94±2.37 vs. 25.86±3.15, 26.40±3.09, all P < 0.05), the incidence of pulmonary infection (9.1% vs. 45.7%, 42.5%), seizure (3.0% vs. 31.4%, 30.0%), reoperation (3.0% vs. 31.4%, 40.0%), and poor prognosis 6 months after operation (33.3% vs. 65.7%, 65.0%) were significantly lower than those in group A and group B (all P < 0.017). According to the hydraulic coupling waveform, GOS scores of 35 patients in the compensated group were significantly higher than those of 38 patients in the decompensated group 6 months after operation (4.03±1.18 vs. 2.39±1.50, t = 5.153, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
The hydraulic coupled intracranial pressure monitoring system has good accuracy and consistency in measuring ICP value, and it can better display ICP waveform changes than the traditional ICP monitoring method, and has better prediction value for prognosis evaluation, which can replace Codman monitoring to accurately guide clinical work. In addition, analgesia and sedation under BIS monitoring combined with hydraulic coupled ICP monitoring can effectively reduce ICP, reduce the incidence of complications, and improve the prognosis, which has high clinical application value.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of operation time for laparos-copic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and analyze the learning curve of LSG in sarcopenic obesity (SO) and non-sarcopenic obesity (NSO).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 240 obesity patients who underwent LSG in the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2018 to June 2022 were collected. There were 52 males and 188 females, aged (30±8)years. Patients underwent L3 vertebral body horizontal axial computer tomography (CT) scanning before and after receiving LSG to accurately segment muscles and fats. Observation indicators: (1) treatment and follow-up; (2) influencing factors of operation time for LSG; (3) cumulative sum (CUSUM) of learning curve; (4) comparison of clinical data between patients in the initial and profi-cient stages. Measurement data with normal distribution were represent as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(IQR), and comparison between groups was conducted using the non-parameter test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the Logistic regression model. The CUSUM of learning curve was calculated and the fitting process was conducted on scatter plot of learning curves. Results:(1) Treatment and follow-up. Of the 240 patients, there were 97 cases of SO and 143 cases of NSO. All 240 patients underwent LSG successfully, without conversion to open surgery. The operation time of 240 patients was (108±23)minutes. None of patient died during the perioperative period and all patients underwent follow-up during the postoperative 6 months. (2) Influencing factors of operation time for LSG. Results of multivariate analysis showed that SO was an independent factor influencing operation time for LSG ( odds ratio=2.207, 95% confidence interval as 1.207-4.038, P<0.05). (3) CUSUM of learning curve. Results of CUSUM of operation time in patients of SO and NSO showed that the best fit equation of patients of SO was y=-4E-08x 6+1E-05x 5-0.001 1x 4+0.063 1x 3-1.89x 2+28.126x-48.671 (x means the number of surgical cases), with goodness-of-fit R 2 as 0.833, and the best fit equation of patients of NSO was y=3E-09x 6-1E-06x 5+0.000 2x 4-0.010 9x 3+0.063 8x 2+12.053x-65.025 (x means the number of surgical cases), with goodness-of-fit R 2 as 0.716. Based on the trend of CUSUM of learning curve of operation time, the peak value of number of surgical cases in patients of SO and NSO was 81 and 36, respec-tively, which was used to divide the learning curve as two stages of the initial stage and the proficient stage. (4) Comparison of clinical data between patients in the initial and proficient stages. ① Of the 97 patients of SO, there were 81 cases and 16 cases in the initial stage and the proficient stage of LSG, with the operation time, postoperative duration of hospital stay as (119±23)minutes, (5.9±2.3)days and (106±21)minutes, (4.7±0.5)days, showing significant differences between them ( t=2.074, 2.147, P<0.05). ②Of the 143 patients of NSO, there were 36 cases and 107 cases in the initial stage and the proficient stage of LSG, with gender (female), height, preoperative body mass, defatted body mass, operation time, postoperative duration of hospital stay, body mass at postoperative 6 month, body mass index (BMI) at postoperative 6 month, percentage of excess weight loss (EWL%) at postoperative 6 month, cases with EWL% >100% at postoperative 6 month, excess BMI at post-operative 6 month as 20, (170±10)cm, (110±25)kg, (57±12)kg, (108±22)minutes, (6.1±1.6)days, (80±16)kg, (27.63±4.22)kg/m2, 83%±35%, 9, 1.99(6.03)kg/m2 and 87, (164±8)cm, (99±20)kg, (52±12)kg, (100±19)minutes, (4.7±1.1)days, (71±16)kg, (25.89±4.48)kg/m2, 103%±42%, 48, 0.31(5.82)kg/m2, showing significant differences between them ( χ2=9.484, t=3.266, 2.424, 2.141, 2.137, 5.821, 2.740, 1.993, -2.524, χ2=4.432, Z=-2.300, P<0.05). Conclusions:SO is an independent factor influencing operation time for LSG. It is suggested that the surgeons need to finish 81 cases and 36 cases master LSG in patients of SO and NSO.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of action and prognostic value of Dynamin 3 (DNM3) in gastric cancer.Methods:The bioinformatic analysis, experimental study and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data, fresh gastric cancer tissues, paired normal tissues and the corresponding paraffin sections of 153 gastric cancer patients who underwent radical gastrectomy in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2013 to July 2018 were collected. Tissues and the corresponding paraffin sections were subjected to quanti-tative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunoblotting assay, flow cytometric cell cycle assay and immunohistochemical staining, respectively, and clinicopathological data were used for prognostic analysis. The stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) dataset from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was collected for bioinformatic analysis. Observation indicators: (1) DNM3 gene expression in TCGA-STAD in gastric cancer; (2) mutations and copy number alterations of DNM3 in gastric cancer; (3) methylation level of promoter of DNM3 in gastric cancer; (4) relative protein expression of DNM3 and p53 in gastric cancer; (5) DNM3 correlation and enrichment analysis; (6) ratio of G0/G1 phase, S phase and G2/M phase of cell cycle progression; (7) correlation between immune cell infiltration and DNM3 in gastric cancer; (8) correlation between results of immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and clinical features; (9) analysis of independent factors influencing 5-year overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison among multiple groups was conducted using the ANOVA and further comparison between two groups was conducted using the LSD. Comparison between two groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and compari-son between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the rank sum test. The Pearson correlation coefficient or Spearman correlation coefficient was used to test the correlation between groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the COX proportional risk regression model. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves and calculate survival rates, and the Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. The Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate correction was used for adjusting of the P-value. Results:(1) DNM3 gene expression in TCGA-STAD. The expression levels of DNM3 gene in the 27 tumor tissues and paired normal tissues of the TCGA-STAD database were 0.775(0.605,1.161) and 1.216(0.772,1.681), showing a significant difference between them ( Z=?2.64, P<0.05). The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of DNM3 gene in 48 pairs of gastric cancer tissues and paired normal tissues of the author′s center were 4.370(2.870,6.040) and 2.520(0.850,4.170), showing a significant difference between them ( Z=?4.39, P<0.05). (2) Mutations and copy number alterations of DNM3 in gastric cancer. There were 16 gastric cancer patients in the TCGA-STAD database with DNM3 mutation or somatic copy number alterations, including 6 cases with missense mutations, 1 case with truncated mutation, 8 cases with copy number gain and 1 case with copy number loss. The mRNA expression levels of DNM3 gene before and after mutation in the 370 gastric cancer patients of the TCGA-STAD database were 6.13(5.40,7.08) and 5.02(3.98,5.46), showing a significant difference between them (Log 2FC=?1.11, Z=?2.59, P<0.05). (3) Methylation level of promoter of DNM3 in gastric cancer. There were 372 gastric cancer patients in the TCGA-STAD database undergoing DNM3 methylation and mRNA examinations, and the results showed that levels of methylation and mRNA expression of DNM3 was 0.198 (-0.458, 0.301) and 6.014 (5.141, 6.628), respectively. The levels of methylation in DNM3 was negatively correlated with its mRNA expression ( r=?0.38, P<0.05). Results of follow-up in 32 patients showed that the 3-year overall survival rate of 16 cases with high levels of methylation in DNM3 and 16 cases with low levels of methylation in DNM3 was 18.8% and 41.3%, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( hazard ratio=1.40, P<0.05). Results of immunoblot-ting assay showed that the relative expression level of DNM3 protein in the AGS cells treated with 0, 0.5, and 1.0 μmol/L of 5-azacytidin was 0.270±0.020, 0.357±0.051 and 0.599±0.039, respectively, showing a significant difference among the three groups ( F=57.84, P<0.05). The relative expression level of DNM3 protein in the HGC-27 cells treated with 0, 0.5, and 1.0 μmol/L of 5-azacytidin was 0.316±0.038, 0.770±0.031 and 0.877±0.052, respectively, showing a significant difference among the three groups ( F=156.30, P<0.05). (4) Relative protein expression of DNM3 and p53 in gastric cancer. Results of immunoblotting assay showed that the relative expression of DNM3 and p53 protein was 0.688±0.047 and 0.872±0.041 in the AGS cells transfected with pCMV-DNM3 plasmid, versus 0.249±0.029 and 0.352±0.020 in the AGS cells transfected with control plasmid, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two types of cells ( t=13.77,19.74, P<0.05). The relative expression of DNM3 and p53 protein was 0.969±0.069 and 1.464±0.081 in the HGC-27 cells transfected with pCMV-DNM3 plasmid, versus 0.456±0.048 and 0.794±0.052 in the HGC-27 cells transfected with control plasmid, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two types of cells ( t=10.57, 12.06, P<0.05). (5) DNM3 correlation and enrichment analysis. Results of correlation analysis showed that DNM3 was positively correlated with genes such as RBMS3, CNTN4 and PDE1A ( r=0.52, 0.52, 0.50, P<0.05) and negatively correlated with genes such as SLC25A39, PAICS and GAPDH ( r=?0.41, ?0.40, ?0.40, P<0.05) in gastric cancer. Results of gene set enrichment analysis showed that the set of genes related to ribosome and oxidative phosphorylation were upregulated in gastric cancer patients with DNM3 low expression [normalized enrichment score (NES)=?3.30, ?2.16, P<0.05], while the set of genes related to immunomodulatory interactions between lymphocytes and non-lymphoid cells were upregulated in gastric cancer patients with DNM3 high expression (NES=1.67, P<0.05). Results of gene ontology analysis showed that the low expression of DNM3 was associated with the separation of mitotic sister chromatid (No.0000070), nonsense-mediation of nuclear transcriptional mRNA catabolic process, sister chromatid separation (No.0000819), nuclear transcriptional mRNA catabolic process and regulation of oxidative phos-phorylation (NES=?2.29, ?3.10, ?2.33, ?2.56, ?2.68, P<0.05). Results of Kyoto encycl opedia of genes and genomes analysis showed that metabolic pathway related to ribosome and oxidative phosphory-lation were upregulated and crosstalked in gastric cancer with low expression of DNM3 (NES=?3.34, ?2.21, P<0.05). (6) Ratio of G0/G1 phase, S phase and G2/M phase of cell cycle progression. Results of flow cytometric cell cycle experiments showed that the proportions of G0/G1 phase, S phase and G2/M phase in the cell cycle was 65.1%±3.0%, 17.3%±3.0% and 17.6%±1.0% in the AGS cells transfected with pCMV-DNM3 plasmid, versus 53.4%±4.0%, 26.3%±2.0% and 20.3%±3.0% in the AGS cells transfected with control plasmid, showing significant differences in the proportions of G0/G1 phase and S phase in the two types of cells ( t=4.05, 4.32, P<0.05). (7) Correlation between immune cell infiltration and DNM3 in gastric cancer. Results of immune cell infiltration examination showed that the expression level of DNM3 was positively associated with mast cells, NK cells, pDCs, B cells, follicular helper T cells, effector memory T cells, T cells, central memory T cells, CD8 T cells, DC cells, macrophages, γ-δ T cells (Tgd), iDCs and eosinophils infiltration (Spearman correlation coefficients as 0.41, 0.29, 0.26, 0.20, 0.22, 0.22, 0.13, 0.16, 0.15, 0.14, 0.14, 0.17, 0.18, 0.22, P<0.05) and negatively associated with Th17 cell, Th2 cells and NK CD56 dim cells infiltration ( r=?0.18, ?0.23, ?0.10, P<0.05). (8) Correlation between results of IHC staining and clinical features. Results of IHC staining analysis showed that the IHC score of DNM3 was 3(2,4) in the 105 gastric cancer tissues, versus 6(4,9) in the 105 paired normal tissues, showing a significant difference between them ( Z=-7.35, P<0.05). There were significant differences in gender, tumor location and N stating between the 70 patients with low expression of DNM3 and the 35 patients with high expression of DNM3 ( χ2=4.29, 7.67, 6.86, P<0.05). (9) Analysis of independent factors influencing 5-year overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients. Results of multivariate analysis showed that stage pT3?4 and low IHC score of DNM3 were independent risk factors for 5-year overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients ( hazard ratio=1.91, 0.51, 95% confidence interval as 1.06?3.43, 0.26?0.98, P<0.05). The 5-year overall survival rate was 44.3% in patients with low expression of DNM3, versus 65.7% in gastric cancer patients with high expression of DNM3, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=5.02, P<0.05). Conclusion:DNM3 is a tumor suppressor and an independent predictor of poor prognosis for gastric cancer, which may regulate gastric cancer cell cycle and immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment through methylation.

High-precision laparoscopic imaging is an emerging laparoscopic technology platform in recent years, which mainly includes 3D laparoscopy, 4K ultra-high definition laparoscopy, and indocyanine green (ICG) near-infrared fluorescent imaging. In minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, these technologies can reconstruct a more realistic and intuitive three-dimensional structure, precisely locate the tumor and perigastric lymph nodes, and thus clearly expose the anatomical levels, facilitating laparoscopic surgical operations such as perigastric vascular nudity, lymph node dissection and digestive tract reconstruction. The authors discuss the latest advances in high-precision laparoscopic imaging technology in minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, together with the practical experience of the author′s team and relevant domestic and international literature, and analyze the advantages and challenges of this technology in clinical application, intending to promote the popularization of high-precision laparoscopic imaging technology in minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery.

Objective:To investigate the effect of decompression of optic nerve canal for traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) via lateral supraorbital approach.Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed to analyze clinical data of 23 TON patients admitted to First People's Hospital of Huzhou from December 2013 to June 2019. There were 16 males and 7 females, aged 17-51 years [(34.3±2.2)years]. Degree of visual impairment included count fingers in 4 patients, hand motion in 4, light perception in 9 and loss of light perception in 6. Visual evoked potential examination (VEP) was performed in 15 patients before surgery. The amplitude of P100 completely disappeared in 5 patients, and the amplitude of P100 was lower than the lower limit of normal value and the latency prolonged in 10 patients. The time from injury to operation was 3 h-14 days [(3.3±0.6)days]. All patients underwent decompression of optic nerve canal via supralateral orbital approach, and dural repair was performed simultaneously in 11 patients with dural rupture. Intraoperative fractures and meningeal tears, duration of operation, blood loss, and hospitalization duration were recorded. Combined with the classical visual acuity improvement assessment method and the World Health Organization (WHO) low vision and blind grading standard, visual acuity was compared before operation, at 10 days and 3 months after operation. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was used to evaluate patients' state of consciousness in the course of the disease. Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) was used to evaluate the prognosis. Incidence of complications was observed as well.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-16 weeks [(13.5±2.4)weeks]. Intraoperative microscopic exploration revealed that all patients had optic nerve canal fracture, 3 patients had frontal fracture with dural rupture, and 8 patients had ethmoid bone fragment with anterior skull base dural rupture. The duration of operation was 108.5-224.3 minutes [(151.8±30.2)minutes], including (32.5±8.4)minutes for craniotomy. The intraoperative blood loss was 90.5-165.3 ml [(121.3±15.5)ml]. The hospitalization was 14-26 days [(19.7±3.4)days]. The visual acuity of 13 patients (57%) improved and 5 patients (39%) relieved from blindness 10 days after operation, showing significant difference compared with the preoperation ( P<0.05). The visual acuity of 17 patients (74%) improved and 9 patients (39%) relieved from blindness at 3 months after operation. There was significant difference in visual acuity examined between 10 days and 3 months after operation ( P<0.05). Six patients were invalid, and 4 of them had no light perception before operation and the amplitude of VEP examination completely disappeared. All patients had GCS of 15 when left the hospital and GOS of 5 at 3 months after operation. One patient had cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and healed after 7 days of supine position. No secondary hematoma, epilepsy or intracranial infection occurred during follow-up. Conclusion:Optic canal decompression via the lateral supraorbital approach can improve visual acuity in early stage and increase the rate of out of blindness, with low postoperative complications and satisfactory functional recovery, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of EMT and invasion promoted by miR-21 in prostate cancer cells. Methods The sequence of miR-21 mimic/inhibitor was firstly designed and synthesized. Then miR-21 mimic/inhibitor and its control were transfected into prostate cancer cells C4-2 and DU145, respectively. And cells were collected for mRNA isolation and RT-qPCR analysis for miR-21 and FOXOl. FOXOl, E-cadherin and N-cadherin were detected by Western blot, and the invasion of prostate cancer cells were detected by transwell assays. Results The expression of miR-21 increased in both C4-2 and DU145 after transfection, and the expression of FOXOl mRNA increased at the same time (P<0.01).The expression of miR-21 and FOXOl mRNA in C4-2 and DU145 was decreased by miR-21 inhibitor(P< 0.05). The protein expression of FOXOl and N-cadherin in C4-2 and DU145 increased after the treatment of miR-21, while that of E-cadherin decreased. The protein expression of FOXOl and N-cad-herin in C4-2 and DU145 decreased after the treatment of miR-21 inhibitor, while that of E-cadherin increased. The invasive level in C4-2 and DU145 increased after the treatment of miR-21, while that decreased after the treatment of miR-21 inhibitor. Conclusion MiR-21 promotes EMT and invasion by inducing FOXOl in prostate cancer cells.
