The abdominoperineal excision (APE) is still one of the standard operations for low rectal cancer. The exralevator APE can reduce the positive rate of circumferential margin and perforation rate of rectal cancer, but the incidence of postoperative complications is relatively high. With the continuous development of minimally invasive surgery, the transperineal minimally invasive Abdominoperineal excision (Tpm-APE) is proposed. Compared with traditional APE, the Tpm-APE has potential technical advantages, but there is a lack of large sample and multicenter clinical research evidence. The authors share the design and results of an international multicenter clinical study to investigate the clinical practice of Tpm-APE in the treatment of low rectal cancer.

Freshwater crabs (Sinopotamon denticulatum) were examined for metacercariae. Cats and dogs were also examined for Paragonimus infection. Questionnairing was carried out on health knowledge and behaviors among local residents in a village of Baokang County, Hubei Province. Results showed that the infection rate of Paragonimus skrjabini metacercariae in Sinopotamon denticulatum was 20.5% (46/214), with 15.6% (20/128) in a mining area and 30.2%(26/86) for the non-mining area respectively ( ?2=6.5, P0.05). Questionnairing showed that dogs and cats were with the habit of foraging and defecating at streams and children had the habits of eating raw or under-cooked crabs. The natural and ecological environments are in favor of the life cycle of P. skrjabini.

In this paper are introduced the design principle and its realization of a bioreactor's control for bioartificial liver support system. To meet the special requirement of circumstances in the culture and metabolism of hepatocytes, a control algorithm based on interactive control was designed and tested in the experiment to achieve sound performances. Some methods of control were used in the algorithm, such as PID (Proportional integral differential) algorithm, predictive control, and APC (Advanced process control). In the experiment, HepG2 were cultured continuously for 60 hours under 37 degrees C +/- 0.2 degrees C (temperature), 95% +/- 10% (dissolved oxygen) and 7.3 +/- 0.2 (pH value). The samples were collected at 24 h and 60 h. After morphological studies, it was found that the growth of the cells was obviously better than that of the control group. In conclusion, most of the parameters in the process of hepatocyte culture were exactly controlled. The growth of hepatocytes was quite well in the bioreactor. These data might contribute to further researches on bioartificial liver support system.

Objective·To explore the correlation between body compositions and cardiovascular fitness(CRF)in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods·The CHD patients(CHD group)who underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention treatment at Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from October 2022 to June 2023 as well as healthy people(control group)were selected.All the participants completed cardiopulmonary exercise testing(CPET)to determine CRF and bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA)to determine body compositions on the same day.Results·A total of 191 patients with coronary heart disease and 188 healthy individuals were included.There was no statistically significant difference in baseline characteristics between the two groups.Compared with the control group,the CRF indicators of the CHD group were significantly reduced(all P<0.05).In terms of body composition indicators,the trunk muscle mass(TMM)of the CHD group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.01),and the trunk fat mass(TFM)was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed that TMM(R=0.538),lower limbs muscle mass(LMM)(R=0.754),and lower limbs fat mass(LFM)(R=0.593)were positively correlated with peak oxygen uptake per kilogram of bodyweight(VO2peak/kg)in the CHD group(all P<0.01),while TFM(R=-0.563)was negatively correlated with VO2peak/kg(P<0.01).There was no statistically significant correlation between other body composition indicators and VO2peak/kg.According to VO2peak/kg,the CHD patients were divided into low CRF group,medium CRF group,and high CRF group.The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in LMM,TMM,LFM,and TFM among the three groups of patients(all P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis suggested that age,gender,TMM,TFM,LMM,and LFM were related factors of VO2peak/kg in the patients with CHD.The VO2peak/kg of CHD patients increased with the increase of TMM,LMM,and LFM and the decrease of age and TFM;the female patients had lower VO2peak/kg compared to the males.Conclusion·The CRF of CHD patients is significantly lower than that of the healthy population,with higher TFM and lower TMM;in the CHD patients,CRF is negatively correlated with TFM and positively correlated with TMM,LMM,and LFM.

Objective:To construct an intervention program of sports and medical integration for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in phase Ⅱ cardiac rehabilitation, so as to provide reference for the effective implementation of physical activity behavior change in AMI patients during phase Ⅱ cardiac rehabilitation.Methods:Before the research, we browsed relevant literature and guidelines published from July 2016 to June 2021, made a retrospective study on the influencing factors of cardiac rehabilitation behavior for AMI patients, and carried out a qualitative interview on cognitive and compliance motivations for AMI patients. Furthermore based on trans-theoretical model, the first draft of the intervention program was developed and and the expert consultation questionnaire was formed. From February to April 2022, Delphi method was used in 16 experts from 10 hospitals and 1 nursing college in 4 provinces. After 2 rounds of expert consultations on the importance and operability of items, the intervention program was finally determined.Results:The effective recovery rates of the 2 rounds of expert consultations questionnaires were both 16/16. The authority coefficient of expert consultation was 0.90, the judgment basis coefficient was 0.96, and the familiarity degree was 0.84. After the second round of expert consultation, the coefficient of variation of the importance of each item was (0.0-13.4)%, and the coefficient of variation of operability was (0.0-18.1)%. The final intervention program of sports and medical integration for patients with AMI in phase Ⅱ cardiac rehabilitation had 37 items, containing precontemplation stage (8 items), contemplation stage (7 items), preparation stage (5 items), action stage (9 items) and maintenance stage (8 items).Conclusions:The construction process of the intervention program of sports and medical integration for patients with AMI in phase Ⅱ cardiac rehabilitation is scientific and feasible. The content is focused on the patient-centred conception and the whole-process management for the exercise rehabilitation of AMI patients in phase Ⅱ cardiac rehabilitation. This intervention program may improve the safety, feasibility, participation and compliance in phase Ⅱ cardiac rehabilitation in patients with AMI. So it is recommended to be popularized and used in phase Ⅱ cardiac rehabilitation.

AIM:To investigate the role of ClC-3 chloride channel in the promotion of radio sensitization of na-sopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells by dihydroartemisinin(DHA).METHODS:MTT was used to detect the inhibito-ry effect of DHA on the viability of CNE-2Z cells and normal nasopharyngeal epithelial NP69-SV40T cells,the radio sensi-tization effect of DHA on CNE-2Z cells was detected by cloning assay,the expression of ClC-3 protein was detected by Western blot,the expression of ClC-3 protein was down-regulated by siRNA technology,and the chlorine current of cells was recorded by whole cell patch-clamp technology.RESULTS:(1)Compared with NP69-SV40T cells,DHA selective-ly inhibited the proliferation of CNE-2Z cells,with IC10 values of(13.020±4.831)μmol/L and(5.244±1.050)μmol/L,respectively(P＜0.01).(2)The results of clonal formation experiments showed that DHA had a radio sensitizing effect on CNE-2Z cells,with a radio sensitization ratio of 1.9.(3)DHA could activate the chlorine channel of CNE-2Z cells and produce an outward chlorine current,but had no effect on the chlorine channel of NP69-SV40T cells.(4)DHA promoted the expression of ClC-3 chloric channel protein in CNE-2Z cells(P＜0.01).(5)Chlorine channel blocker NPPB could in-hibit the radio sensitizing effect of DHA on CNE-2Z cells by 1.84 times,and also inhibited the chlorine current activated by DHA.(6)the down-regulation of CNE-2Z ClC-3 protein could inhibit the radio sensitization effect of DHA on CNE-2Z cells by 4.19 times,and the activation of chlorine current by DHA on CNE-2Z cells was no longer produced.CONCLU-SION:DHA has a radio sensitizing effect on nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells,which is likely to be related to the activation of ClC-3 chloride channel.
