Objective:To study the feasibility of a modified pancreatogastric anastomosis in laparoscopic duodenum preserving pancreatic head resection (LDPPHR).Methods:The clinical data of 25 patients with benign or low-grade malignant tumors of pancreatic head undergoing LDPPHR at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2019 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 7 males and 18 females, aged (44.9±6.2) years old. According to the methods of pancreatic digestive reconstruction, patients were divided into the observation group ( n=10), who underwent the modified pancreatogastric anastomosis, and the control group ( n=15) who underwent conventional pancreaticojejunal anastomosis and jejuno-jejunal anastomosis. The general data, intraoperative pancreatic digestive reconstruction time, maximum levels of amylase in abdominal drainage within three days postoperatively, postoperative complications, and hospital stay were compared between the groups. Results:All procedures were performed successfully. The intraoperative pancreatic digestive reconstruction time was shorter in the observation group [(27.8±2.4) min vs. (45.8±3.6) min, P=0.010]. The intraoperative blood loss were comparable between the groups [(140.5±14.8) ml vs. (145.2±9.7) ml, P=0.843]. The maximum level of amylase in abdominal drainage within three days postoperatively was lower in the observation group [(809.1±185.5) U/L vs. (1 385.4±481.1) U/L, P=0.031]. No grade C pancreatic fistula or postoperative hemorrhage occurred in either group, and the incidence of grade B pancreatic fistula was lower in the observation group [20.0% (2/10) vs. 60.0% (9/15), P=0.048], with a shorter postoperative hospital stay [(7.9±1.3) d vs. (10.3±2.7) d, P=0.017]. No decrease of life quality or reoperation due to pancreatic fistula, hemorrhage or digestive tract malfunction occurred in either group within a median follow-up of 15.6 months. Conclusion:In LDPPHR, the modified pancreatogastric anastomosis could help shorten the pancreatic digestive reconstruction and lower the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula.

Objective:To analyze the bubble dynamic characteristics of shock wave enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming(SWEEPS)technique in free water region under different temporay delays.Methods:The Er∶YAG laser tip was activated in free water model with SWEEPS mode at 150-600 μs pulse delay.The bubble dynamic process during irrigation was recorded by a high-speed camera(200 000 Hz).Matlab was used to analyze the interaction between bubble made by the dual pulses frame by frame.The distance between bubble remnants and laser tip was measured before the bubble disappeared.The experimental data were statisti-cally analyzed by SPSS 19.0.Results:In free water region,different temporal delays caused different interaction between the bub-bles activated by the SWEEPS technique with a dual pulse modality.The interactions include bubble fusion,bubble collision and bubble separation.When the temporal delay between 360-440 μs,bubble collision was the most violent,and the farthest distance between bubble remnants and laser tip was reached.Conclusion:In free water region,the dual pulse of SWEEPS technique can lead to bubble interaction which may enhance the cavitation effect of Er∶YAG laser irrigation,and improve the debridement in clinic ap-plication.

BACKGROUND:Establishing a nomogram prediction model for postoperative pulmonary infection in hip fractures and taking early intervention measures is crucial for improving patients'quality of life and reducing medical costs. OBJECTIVE:To construct a nomogram risk prediction model of postoperative pulmonary infection in elderly patients with hip fracture,and provide theoretical basis for feasible prevention and early intervention. METHODS:Case data of 305 elderly patients with hip fractures who underwent surgical treatment at Wuxi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine between January and October 2020(training set)were retrospectively analyzed.Using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test,receiver operating characteristic curve was utilized to analyze the diagnostic predictive efficacy of independent risk factors and joint models for postoperative pulmonary infections.Tools glmnet,pROC,and rms in R Studio software were applied to construct a nomogram model for predicting the risk of postoperative pulmonary infection in elderly patients with hip fractures,and calibration curves were further drawn to verify the predictive ability of the nomogram model.Receiver operating characteristic curves,calibration curves,and decision curves were analyzed for 133 elderly patients with hip fractures(validation set)receiving surgery at the same hospital from November 2022 to March 2023 to further predict the predictive ability of the nomogram model. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The postoperative pulmonary infection rate in elderly patients with hip fractures in this group was 9.18%(28/305).(2)Single factor and multivariate analysis,as well as forest plots,showed that preoperative hospitalization days,leukocyte count,hypersensitive C-reactive protein,and serum sodium levels were independent risk factors(P<0.05).The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed good fit(χ2=4.57,P=0.803).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted on the independent risk factors and their joint models mentioned above,and the differentiation of each independent risk factor and joint model was good,with statistical significance(P<0.05).(3)The graphical calibration method,C-index,and decision curve were used to validate the nomogram prediction model.The predicted calibration curve was located between the standard curve and the acceptable line,and the predicted risk of the nomogram model was consistent with the actual risk.(4)The validation set used receiver operating characteristic curve,graphic calibration method,and decision curve to validate the prediction model.The results showed good consistency with clinical practice,indicating that the model had a good fit.The nomogram risk prediction model constructed for postoperative pulmonary infection in elderly patients with hip fractures has good predictive performance.The use of the nomogram risk prediction model can screen high-risk populations and provide a theoretical basis for early intervention.

Objective:To investigate the value of MRI radiomics features in predicting breast cancer lymphovascular invasion (LVI).Methods:Totally of 216 patients with breast invasive ductal carcinoma who underwent preoperative MR examination confirmed by postoperative pathology from January to July 2021 in Liaoning Cancer Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were all females and ranged in age from 27 to 80 (53±11). Among them, 68 patients had LVI and 148 patients had no LVI. Patients were divided into the training set and the validation set in a ratio of 7∶3. The clinical features model was constructed with independent risk factors for LVI. The factors were extracted based on the clinical and MRI performance. Regions of interest in the tumor and peritumoral 1, 2, 3 mm annular region were delineated in the second phase of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI and DWI, respectively, and radiomics features extraction and screening were performed to construct a radiomics feature model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of models.Results:Apparent diffusion coefficient value (ADC) (OR=0.09, 95%CI 0.01-0.97, P=0.047), the axillary lymph node enlargement (OR=2.51, 95%CI 1.18-5.37, P=0.017), the peritumoral edema (OR=2.34, 95%CI 1.15-4.75, P=0.019) were independent risk factors for LVI. The clinical feature model was established with ADC value, the axillary lymph node enlargement and the peritumoral edema. At last, 10 radiomics features were selected to construct the DCE-MRI tumor model, 8 radiomics features were selected to construct the DCE-MRI peritumoral 1 mm model, 9 radiomics features were selected to construct the DCE-MRI peritumoral 2 mm model, 5 radiomics features were selected to construct the DCE-MRI peritumoral 3 mm model, 8 radiomics features were selected to construct the DWI tumor model, 5 radiomics features were selected to construct the DWI peritumoral 1 mm model, 10 radiomics features were selected to construct the DWI peritumoral 2 mm model, 9 radiomics features were selected to construct the DWI peritumoral 3 mm model. The ROC curve analysis showed that DWI peritumoral 1 mm model had the largest area under curve values for predicting breast cancer LVI status both in the training set (0.928) and the validation set (0.907), and there were significant differences compared with other models ( P<0.05). Conclusion:MRI radiomics features can effectively predict LVI of breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and DWI peritumoral 1 mm radiomics features model have the highest prediction efficiency for LVI.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of quantitative parameters of dual-layer spectral CT in preoperative prediction of Ki-67 expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).Methods:From December 2021 to December 2022, 64 patients with histopathologically diagnosed ESCC were retrospectively analyzed at Liaoning Cancer Hospital & Institute. The expression level of Ki-67 in ESCC tumor tissue was detected by the immunohistochemical method. The patients were divided into the Ki-67 high expression group (the Ki-67 expression index≥30%, 47 cases) and the Ki-67 low expression group (the Ki-67 expression index<30%, 17 cases). The quantitative parameters of spectral CT were measured, including traditional 120 kVp CT value, 40 keV CT value, iodine density (ID), normalized iodine density (NID), and Z-effective in arterial and venous phases. Independent sample t test was used to compare the differences in the parameters between the Ki-67 high and low expression groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the efficacy of each parameter in predicting Ki-67 expression. DeLong test was used to compare the area under the curve (AUC). Results:The 120 kVp CT value, 40 keV CT value, ID, and Z-effective in the arterial phase and the 120 kVp CT value, 40 keV CT value, ID, NID, Z-effective in venous phase in the Ki-67 high expression group were all higher than those in the Ki-67 low expression group ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in arterial phase NID between the two groups ( t=1.85, P=0.070). NID in the venous phase had the highest AUC in predicting high expression of Ki-67 in ESCC (AUC=0.965, 95%CI 0.923-1.000). With a venous phase NID value of 0.28 as the diagnostic threshold, the sensitivity and specificity were 93.6% and 100%. There was no significant difference in AUC between venous phase NID and venous phase ID (AUC=0.926) and Z-effective (AUC=0.909) ( Z=-1.52, 1.81, P=0.128, 0.071), but there was a significant difference of AUC between venous phase NID and 120 kVp CT value (AUC=0.719) and 40 keV CT value (AUC=0.747) ( Z=3.41, 3.30, P=0.001, 0.001). There were statistical differences of AUC between venous phase NID and each parameter of arterial phase ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The three spectral CT parameters (ID, NID, and Z-effective) in the venous phase have high diagnostic efficacy in predicting ESCC Ki-67 expression.

In this study, a new Bacillus velezensis strain Bv-303 was identified and its biocontrol effect against rice bacterial-blight (BB) disease caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) was investigated. Cell-free supernatant (CFS) of strain Bv-303 under different growth conditions were prepared to test the antagonistic activity and stability against Xoo by the Oxford-cup method in vitro. The antibacterial effect of strain Bv-303 to BB disease in rice were further analyzed in vivo by spraying the cell-culture broth (CCB), CFS and cell-suspension water (CSW), respectively, on the rice leaves inoculated with Xoo. Additionally, rice seeds germination rate and seedling growth under the strain Bv-303 CCB treatment were tested. The results showed that the strain Bv-303 CFS significantly inhibited Xoo growth by 85.7%‒88.0% in vitro, which was also stable under extreme environment conditions such as heat, acid, alkali and ultraviolet light. As tested in vivo, spraying the CCB, CFS or CSW of strain Bv-303 on the Xoo-infected leaves enhanced rice plant resistance to BB disease, with CCB showing the highest increase (62.7%) in disease-resistance. Notably, CCB does not have negative effects on rice seed germination and seedling growth. Therefore, strain Bv-303 has great potential for biocontrol of the rice BB disease.
