Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of 1aparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) for patients with advanced gastric cancer. Methods Clinical data of 198 cases with advanced gastric cancer were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the surgical approach, patients were divided into laparotomy group (n = 101) and laparoscopic group (n = 97), and the intraoperative situation, postoperative complications and quality of life were compared. Results There were no statistical differences in operation time [(226.30 ± 36.40) vs (220.50 ± 29.90) min, t = 1.23, P = 0.221)], number of lymph node cleaning [(22.01 ± 4.99) vs (20.69 ± 4.53), t = 1.95, P = 0.053] between the two groups; the blood loss of laparoscopy group was less than the laparotomy group [(114.50 ± 20.30) vs (168.30 ± 40.04) ml, t = 11.77, P = 0.000]; gastrointestinal function recovery time of laparoscopy group was less than laparotomy group [(72.30 ± 7.91) vs (84.05 ± 9.04) h, t = 9.72, P = 0.000); hospital stay of laparoscopy group was less than the laparotomy group [(8.89 ± 1.57) vs (10.36 ± 2.65) d, t = 4.72, P = 0.000]; there were no statistical differences in the tumor proximal cut end [(5.07 ± 2.04) vs (4.85 ± 1.98) cm, t = 0.77, P = 0.442) and margin of distal [(4.33 ± 1.90) vs (3.90 ± 2.02) cm, t = 1.54, P = 0.125] between the two groups; the postoperative complication rate of laparoscopy group and laparotomy group was 9.27% (9 cases ) and 7.92% (8 cases), respectively, the differencewas not statistically significance (χ2=0.01, P = 0.907); KPS score of laparoscopy group in 7 days after surgery were higher than laparotomy group [(79.33 ± 15.54) vs (73.49 ± 13.37), t = 2.84, P = 0.005], and in 30 days after surgery showed no statistical differences. Conclusion The clinical effect of 1aparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer is equivalent to the laparotomy, while with less trauma. Short-term quality of life in 1aparoscopy group is higher than laparotomy group.

Objective To explore protective effects of curcumin on lung injury in the early hepatic ischemia/reperfsion (reperfusion for 1 and 3 hour) inrats. Methods Wistarratswererandom]y divided into the fo]]owinggroups: GroupA (shamoperation), group B (control group) and group C (cureumin applied). Contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO) in lung tissues were determined to evaluate the protective effect of eurcumin on lung injury in the injury of isehemia/ reperfusion. Results Curcumin relieved edema of diaphragmatic wall and exudation of blood cell and white cell in pulmonary alveoli. Curcumin increased the contents of SOD, CAT and decreased contents of MDA, MPO in lung tissue. Conclusion By repressing the generation of oxygen free radical and infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocyte in lung tissue, curcumin can relieve lung injury in the early hepatic ischemia/repeffusion.

Objective To explore the differences in morphology and structure of collagen fiber of the hilar bile duct between human and rat. Methods The morphology and structure of vertical and horizontal cross-section of human and rat collagen fiber of the normal and dilated hilar bile duct, and their changes under stress were observed after Masson trichrome staining. Results The morphology and structure of collagen fiber of hilar bile duet in human was similar to that in rat. The collagen fiber mainly distributed in the middle and outer layer of the hilar bile duct. The wave-like collagen fiber bundles were arranged in parallel, consistent with the longitudinal axis direction of the bile duct, and connected by the small branches. Conclusions The morphology and structure of collagen fiber of the hilar bile duct in human is similar to that in rat. The anatomical structure of the collagen fiber is adapted to its function.

Objective:To explore the clinical features and prognosis of urachal carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 35 patients with urachal carcinoma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2011 to November 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 23 males and 12 females, with a male to female ratio of 1.92∶1. The average age was (52.1±13.9) years old, and the median age was 55 years old. There were 8 patients with a history of smoking and 3 patients with a history of drinking. There were 5 cases of hypertension, 5 cases of diabetes, 2 cases of coronary heart disease, and 1 case of cerebral infarction. The first symptoms were hematuria in 25 cases, lower abdominal pain in 4 cases, abdominal mass in 2 cases, umbilical discharge in 1 case, and asymptomatic in 4 cases.Preoperative CT examination showed that the tumor was located on the top wall of the bladder in 24 cases and the front wall of the bladder in 11 cases. There were 25 solid tumors and 10 cystic tumors. The maximum diameter of the tumor was 1.5 to 11.0 cm, and the median maximum diameter of the tumor was 4.0 cm. Preoperative cystoscopy detected masses on the anterior or top wall of the bladder and urachal carcinoma was suspected in 35 cases. All 35 cases underwent enlarged partial cystectomy (conventional resection of the umbilical part), and 3 cases underwent pelvic lymph node dissection at the same time. Among them, 19 cases underwent open surgery, 14 cases underwent laparoscopic surgery, and 2 cases underwent Da Vinci robot assisted laparoscopic surgery.Results:According to Mayo staging, there were 10 cases of stage Ⅰ, 18 cases of stage Ⅱ, 1 case of stage Ⅲ, and 6 cases of stage Ⅳ. The overall follow-up rate was 91.4% (32/35), and the median follow-up time was 41 (3-103) months. The 1-year survival rate was 82.5%, the 3-year survival rate was 59.3%, and the 5-year survival rate was 53.9%. Univariate analysis showed that age ( P=0.033), maximum tumor diameter ( P=0.011), lymph node metastasis ( P=0.002), distant metastasis ( P=0.011), pathological grade ( P=0.001), Mayo staging ( P=0.026) were ralated prognostic factors (all P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that the pathologically poor differentiation ( HR=1.640, 95% CI 1.112-2.418, P=0.013), and the largest tumor diameter ≥4cm were ( HR=5.000, 95% CI 1.099-22.755, P=0.037). Independent factors affecting patient prognosis. Conclusions:Urachal carcinoma is a malignant bladder tumor with insidient onset. Most of the first diagnosis symptoms are hematuria. When diagnosed, most patients are in the middle and late stages of clinical grading, and the prognosis is poor.Pathological grade and maximum tumor diameter are independent factors that affect the prognosis of patients with urachal carcinoma. The higher was the pathological grade, and the larger was the maximum tumor diameter, the worse was the prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to explore the risk factors associated with severity of juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. METHOD: A retrospective study was conducted to study determinants of severe forms of juvenile recurrent onset respiratory papillomatosis. The patients were separated into different groups based on the onset age, the first recurrence of age, the first recurrence of period, gender and incision of tracheal respectively. The relationship among the lesion severity score,the involvement of the subregion, operation period and the next operation period were also explored. RESULT: It was observed that some children who recurred before 4 years old required more surgery, shorter operation period(the average, longest or shortest operation period) than those elder children, the differences were statistically (P=0. 029, 0. 003, 0. 010, 0. 039, respectively). The severity score of lesion was correlated positively with the involvement of the subregion and negatively with operation period (r=0. 914, -0. 451, respectively). Some children who diagnosed before 4 years old had to endure more severity score and shorter operation period than those older children, the differences were statistically (P= 0. 036, 0. 000, respectively). 8 cases accepted incision of tracheal, they accepted more surgery too. But the differences in the onset age, the first recurrence of age, and the operation period were not statistically. CONCLUSION The results showed that the clinical course of juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis was closely related to the first recurrence age and period, while the severity of disease was associated to the onset age and the involvement of the subregion.

PURPOSE: Allergic rhinitis (AR) has become a global issue for a large part of the general population. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has been used extensively to treat persistent allergic rhinitis (PAR). Although systematic reviews have confirmed the effectiveness of SLIT for the treatment of AR, a considerable number of studies using extracts of house dust mites (HDMs) for immunotherapy found no consensus on basic treatment parameters and questioned the efficacy of SLIT. METHODS: In this study, we evaluated SLIT for PAR by a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library database searches were performed for RCTs on the treatment of PAR by SLIT that assessed clinical outcomes related to efficacy through May 2016. Descriptive and quantitative information was abstracted. An analysis was performed with standardized mean differences (SMDs) under a fixed or random effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 metric. RESULTS: In total, 25 studies were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis for symptom scores and 15 studies for medication scores. SLIT was significantly different from the controls for symptom scores (SMD=1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.74 to 0.73; P<0.001). For medication scores, significant differences for SLIT were also observed versus the controls (SMD=-1.39; 95% CI=-1.90 to -0.88; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis indicates that SLIT provided significant symptom relief and reduced the need for medications in PAR. In this study, significant evidence was obtained despite heterogeneity with regard to the use of mite extract. Specifically, the mite extract used was provided by the patients with PAR. Furthermore, to confirm both the objective outcomes and the effective doses of HDM allergen extracts, experimental data should be obtained from large high-quality population-based studies.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation between nonsyndromic deafness and mitochondrial 12s rRNA A839G mutation.

METHODSAccording to the clinical manifestations of mitochondrial DNA sequencing and analysis to find and determine family containing mitochondrial 12s rRNA A839G mutation. Harvested its family members blood and transferred their lymphocytes into lymphoblastoid cell lines, followed by cells cultured, cell doubling experiment, susceptibility testing, cellular oxygen consumption rate experiment, ROS and mitochondrial membrane potential experimental tests were progressed to explore the correlation between the A839G mutation and nonsyndromic deafness.

RESULTSThe mitochondrial 12s rRNA A839G mutation pedigrees were determined through the full sequence detections of the Mitochondrial DNA, further phylogenetic analysis showed that 839 point conservative index (CI) up to 78.6%; in RPMI-galactose medium containing A839G gene mutant cell line, the doubling time was significantly longer than the control group, and the difference was significant (P = 0.033). The effect to cell lines containing the A839G mutation of aminoglycoside drugs was not obvious. When compared with the control group, cell lines containing the A839G mutation significantly reduced cellular oxygen consumption rate(P = 0.033); compared with the control group, the ROS levels of cell lines containing the A839G mutation appeared more substantial elevated with significan difference (P < 0.01). The mitochondrial membrane potential of cells of experimental group was significantly reduced than the control group.

CONCLUSIONThe present study proved that the mitochondria 12s rRNA A839G mutations affect the function of the mitochondrial respiratory chain at the cell level, which might reduce the growth rate of the mutant cell lines, result in hearing.

OBJECTIVE To study on the influence of human papilloma virus(HPV) type on the clinical course of juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis(JORRP).METHODS Fresh tumor specimens of 38 patients were collected and the HPV type of the specimens was detected by flow fluorescent hybridization method.According to the results,children were divided into HPV6 and HPVll positive groups.The clinical data of the two groups were compared.RESULTS Among 38 children with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis,21(55.2％) were infected with HPV6,14(36.8％) were infected with HPVll,and 3(7.9％) were negative for HPV 6 or HPV 11.The proportion of aggressive cases in HPV6 and HPV11 groups were similar.The age of onset,preoperative clinical symptom score,number of anatomic locations,anatomic Derkay/Coltrera score and Dikkers score were significant different between the two groups (P=0.002,0.040,0.023,0.001,0.005,respectively).CONCLUSION JORRP patients with HPV11 infection had the features of smaller onset age,more severe clinical symptoms and broader invasion compared with HPV6 infection.

Objective To study the effects of the intelligent hearing-assistive system incorporated in Nuro-tron cochlear implants(CI),including the autonomic acoustic scene recognition(ASR),intelligent strategy config-uration as well as the objective and subjective hearing improvements on recipients.Methods ① To evaluate the per-formance of the ASR matule,in a sound-proof room,the preset five kinds of test audios,including speech,noise,speech in noise,pure music(without human voice)and non-pure Music(with human voice)were played.Each type of scenes included 6 to 9 5 min test files.The prediction accuracy and scene switching times were calculated.② In order to evaluate the noise-reduction performance of the ABeam technology in the speech enhancement module,13 Nurotron? CI recipients were recruited and their speech recognition rate when ABeam was"ON"and"OFF"with noise coming from 90°,180°or 270°were tested,individually.Also,their subjective hearing feedback was evaluated through visual analogue scale(VAS)evaluation.Results The ASR module achieved high prediction performance,with prediction accuracy 99％±4％,96％±9％,94％±12％,94％±15％,92％±13％for speech,noise,noisy speech,pure music and non-pure music,respectively.The scene transation times for each individual scene were 1.1 ±0.3,1.4±0.7,1.3±0.5,1.4±0.8 and 1.3±0.5,indicating that the prediction was also stable.When noise came from the sides and behind of recipients and speech signal from the front,the adaptive dual microphone noise re-duction algorithm ABeam significantly increased the speech recognition score(SRS)in 5 dB signal-to-noise(SNR)environment(P＜0.001),with an average increase of 15.92％.Especially when the noise came from 180 degree backward,the SRS increased 28.68％when ABeam was"0N",which was significantly higher than when ABeam was"OFF"(P＜0.01).Conclusion The intelligent hearing-assistive system can help CI recipients automatically configure appropriate SPSs under different environments,improving the speech intelligibility and hearing comfort.
