Objective To improve the vascular anastomosis of the rat small intestinal transplantation, reduce the ischemia of transplanted intestine and make it apt to survive, simplify the operation procedure, elevate the operation success rate. Methods Artery anastomosis was done by employing the cuff anastomosis between a segment of donor abdominal aorta with superior mesenteric artery and recipient abdominal aorta, and venous anastomosis by employing the cuff anastomosis between donor's portal vein and recipient's left renal vein, namely Tri cuff anastomosis. Results Sixty six out of 70 transplant operation cases survived with the operation success rate being 92.9 % . Total operation time was about 2 3 h . The average time for the arterial anatomosis and venous anastomosis was (5?2) min and (2?1) min, respectively. Conclusion The method simplifies the rat small intestine transplantation, shortens the operation time and improves the operation survival rate.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) combined with vascular resection and reconstruction.Methods The clinical data of 56 patients who received PD combined with vascular resection and reconstruction at the Southwest Hospital of Third Military Medical University from January 2007 to May 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.The incidence of perioperative complications,mortality and postoperative conditions were also analyzed.Results The mean operation time and intraoperative blood transfusion were 473 minutes (range,234-853 minutes) and 781 ml (range,0-900 ml),respectively.Seven patients did not receive blood transfusion.The median period of hospital stay was 25.9 days (range,17-100 days).A total of 43 patients underwent PD combined with vascular reconstruction.The incidence of perioperative complications and mortality rate were 34％ (19/56) and 7％ (4/56),respectively.There were 42 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma,5 with ampullary carcinoma,3 with distal bile duct carcinoma,4 with papillary carcinoma of duodenum,1 with pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma and 1 with pancreatic serous cystadenoma.All patients were followed up till August 2011,and the 1-year survival rate was 57％ (32/56).The mean survival time was 13.5 months.The weight of 32 surviving patients increased and no abdominal pain occurred.Within 3 months after the operation,5 patients had slight diarrhea and were administered antidiarrheal; thrombosis in the artificial blood vessels and peritoneal effusion were found in 1 patient,while 6 months later,collateral circulation was formed and the peritoneal effusion was diminished.Conclusion PD combined with vascular resection and reconstruction can improve the quality of life for patients with pancreatic cancer and with blood vessels involvement.

Objective:To investigate nurses' knowledge, attitude and behavior status about the safety management of enteral nutrition tube in a tertiary Class A hospital in Beijing.Methods:A self-designed questionnaire based on reliability and validity was used. Besides, a convenient sampling method was used to select 309 nurses working on enteral nutrition from the hospital.Results:Nurses scored (28.58±6.09)for knowledge, (37.65±5.03)for attitude and (70.01±5.45)for behavior. The percentage of average scores in the three indicators were 57.16%, 94.13% and 93.35%. According to the single factor analysis, the score of behavior differed among nurses with different working years( F=23.61, P=0.032). The score of knowledge differed among nurses with different titles( F=4.48, P=0.012). Besides, the frequency of tube feeding operations had great effects on nurses′ knowledge and behavior ( F=9.64, P<0.001; F=34.59, P=0.018). But there was no statistical difference in the knowledge, attitude, and behavior scores among nurses trained at different frequencies( F=0.85, P=0.497; F=12.56, P=0.231; F=18.97, P=3.479). Conclusions:Nurses have a positive attitude towards the safety management of enteral nutrition tube, but their knowledge level is poor and their behavior needs to be further regulated. It is necessary to carry out relevant training to standardize clinical operations and ensure the safety management of enteral feeding tube.

Objective:To study the effects of cold spray on pain after non-coring needle insertion.Methods:This was a randomized controlled study. Patients with totally implantable access port (TIAP) were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group were given cold spray, while the control group were given eutectic mixture of local anesthetics cream (EMLA). The severity of pain, comfort and satisfaction, right-first-time insertion rate and skin reaction incidence were compared between groups.Results:29 patients were included in each of the two groups. The pain assessed with numeric rating scale in the experimental group was less severe than the control group ([1.52±1.02] vs [2.24±1.62]). However, there was no significant difference (d=-0.02 [95% CI:-0.55~0.51], P=0.109). The right-first-time insertion rate was 100% for both groups. The incidence of skin reactions in experimental group was lower (ARR=27.6% [95% CI: 11.32%~43.86%], P=0.008), and comfort scores ( d=-0.97 [95% CI: -0.42~-1.52], P<0.01) and satisfaction scores(ARR=13.8% [95% CI: 1.24%~26.34%], P=0.013) were significantly higher compared with control group. Conclusions:There was no statistically significant difference in the analgesic effect of cold spray and EMLA on pain from non-coring needle insertion. Cold spray acted quickly, comfortably and safely, resulting in better patient satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the effect of peer support-based narrative therapy on postoperative self-image and stigma of patients with head and neck cancer, to provide reference for clinical nursing.Methods:A total of 78 head and neck cancer patients from August 2018 to August 2020 in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were divided into experimental group and control group by random digits table method, each group were 39 cases. The control group was given conventional nursing, while the experimental group implemented support-based narrative therapy on the basis of routine nursing. The intervention time was 4 weeks. The self-image and stigma of the two groups before and after intervention were assessed by Body Image Scale (BIS) and Social Impact Scale (SIS), respectively.Results:Finally, 37 cases were included in the experimental group and 38 cases in the control group. There was no significant difference in BIS, SIS dimension scores and total scores between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). After intervention, the emotional demension scores, behavior dimension scores, cognitive dimension scores and total scores in BIS were 4.41 ± 1.04, 1.95 ± 0.51, 3.81 ± 0.63 and 10.16 ± 2.05 in the experimental group, significantly lower than in the control group 5.08 ± 1.08, 2.82 ± 0.60, 5.42 ± 0.76 and 13.32 ± 1.93, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.76-6.86, all P<0.01); the social exclusion scores, internal shame scores, social isolation scores and total stigma scores in SIS were 17.57 ± 2.67, 9.08 ± 1.55, 12.14 ± 3.73 and 46.14 ± 4.95 in the experimental group, significantly lower than in the control group 19.18 ± 3.70, 10.68 ± 1.61, 14.18 ± 3.83 and 51.68 ± 6.09, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.16-4.38, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Peer support-based narrative therapy can effectively alleviate the postoperative self-image problems and stigma of patients with head and neck cancer, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To understand the current state of financial toxicity and suicide risk in head and neck cancer patients, to investigate the correlation between the level of financial toxicity and suicide risk in head and neck cancer patients, and to provide a basis for reducing the level of financial toxicity and the risk of suicide in head and neck cancer patients.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted, from March 1 to July 31, 2022, 150 head and neck cancer patients were selected from Oncology Department of East Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Universityby by convenient sampling method. The survey was carried out by means of the general questionnaire, Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity based on the Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (COST-PROM), Cancer Suicide Risk Scale (CSRS), and then analysis the datum.Results:The score of COST-PROM of 150 head and neck cancer patients was (18.00 ± 6.12) points, and the score of CSRS of head and neck cancer patients was (36.31 ± 8.51) points. The total score of economic toxicity was significantly negatively correlated with the total score of suicide risk and its dimensions ( r values were -0.446 to 0.235, all P<0.05). The total score of suicide risk was negatively correlated with the total score of economic toxicity and the scores of each dimension ( r values were -0.446 to -0.251, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with head and neck cancer were at higher risk of suicide, and financial toxicity was a significant contributing factor to suicide risk, with higher levels of financial toxicity associated with a higher risk of suicide. Reducing the level of financial toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer has important implications for reducing their risk of suicide.

Objective:To explore the application effect of time-sharing appointment in the peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC) maintenance clinic.Methods:Patients with medical appointments within two months before and after the application of time-sharing appointment practice in the PICC maintenance clinic were selected. Patients with appointment before application were control group and took paper appointment sheet manually while those after application were study group and took time-sharing appointment. Waiting time, average number of patients waiting per pre-specified time period, patient satisfaction and nurse satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:The median waiting time of the study group was 15 min, significantly shorter than that of the control group of 46 min ( P<0.01). The numbers of patients waiting in the waiting area for the study group remained relatively stable across each time period, showing low people density. In the contrast, numbers of patients waiting varied significantly for the control group and the peak of patient flow occurred in periods of 8∶00—10∶00 and 13∶30—14∶30. Patient satisfaction and nurse satisfaction of the study group were both significantly higher than those of the control group (4.99±0.05 vs. 2.15±0.17, P=0.009; 4.67±1.92 vs. 1.90±0.37, P<0.01, respectively). Conclusion:The application of time-sharing appointment in PICC maintenance clinics effectively reduces the waiting time for patients, achieves reasonable patient triage, improves the clinic environment, improves nurse and patient satisfaction, and improves the level of hospital management.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility and short-term efficacy of laparoscopic resection of primary localized gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) by comparing with open surgery.

METHODSClinicopathological data of 167 gastric GIST patients undergoing operation in Zhongshan Hospital from June 2008 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed, among whom 55 received laparoscopic surgery and 112 underwent open surgery for primary local gastric GIST. Efficacy of different size and different location of GIST was compared between laparoscopic and open groups.

RESULTSThere was no conversion to open surgery in laparoscopy group. Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic resection for gastric GIST smaller than 5 cm or located at anterior wall, greater curvature, lesser curvature, was associated with similar operation time(P>0.05), but less blood loss, shorter post-hospital stay or flatus time(all P<0.05). The operative outcomes were similar between laparoscopic and open resection for gastric GIST bigger than or equal to 5 cm or located at posterior wall(all P>0.05), except the longer operation time in laparoscopy group(P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complication did not differ between two groups. Laparoscopic group had 2 patients with gastroparesis and open group had 2 gastroparesis, 2 pulmonary infection, and 1 poor wound healing(all P>0.05), which all recovered after conservative treatment. During 7 to 84 months(median 35) of follow-up, no recurrence or hepatic metastasis was found in laparoscopy group, and 3 hepatic metastases in open group. There was no significant difference of recurrence-free survival between two groups(P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONLaparoscopic resection for gastric GIST is safe and effective in selected patients, especially for those with tumors smaller than 5 cm, or located at anterior wall, greater curvature, lesser curvature, whose short-term outcomes are better than open resection.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinicopathological characteristics, efficacy, and prognostic factors for patients with duodenum gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST).

METHODSClinicopathological and follow-up data of 80 patients with duodenum GIST in the Zhongshan Hospital from January 2000 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.

RESULTSThere were 38 male and 42 female patients with a median age of 54 years. The major symptoms were upper alimentary tract hemorrhage and abdominal pain. Thirty-nine patients received local tumor excision, 18 patients underwent segmental duodenectomy, 23 patients were subjected to pancreaticoduodenectomy, all these operations were R0 resection. Thirty patients received imatinib treatment after operation, and 11 among them had metastasis relapse. Recurrence-free survival rates of 1-, 3-, and 5-years were 96.2%, 90.6%and 78.6% retrospectively. Overall survival rates of 1-, 3-, and 5-years were 100%, 98.3% and 96.1%. Multivariate Cox analysis showed tumor size >5 cm, mitotic count >5 mitosis/50 HPF and intermediate/high NIH risk classification were associated with an increased risk of recurrence. The significant difference was not detected between the limited resection group and pancreaticoduodenectomy group in OS and RFS.

CONCLUSIONSSurgery is still the main treatment for duodenum GIST. The surgical program is mainly determined by the location and size of tumor. Imatinib therapy should be used if necessary.
