OBJECTIVETo compare the difference of intra-abdominal infection between intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) and extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) in patients undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy within postoperative 30 days.

METHODSClinical date of right colon cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy at the Department of Colorectal Surgery, PUMCH from January 1st, 2013 to October 31st, 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with stage IV cancers which could not be radically resected, emergency operation and conversion to open surgery were excluded. The intracorporeal anastomosis and extracorporeal anastomosis were compared in the items of operation time, postoperative infection and postoperative hospital stay.

RESULTSA total of 194 patients were enrolled in the study, including 73 patients with IA and 121 patients with EA. No significant differences were found in gender, age, previous operation history, tumor site and T stage of the tumor between two groups (all P>0.05). There were also no significant differences in mean operative time (162.4 minutes vs. 167.7 minutes, P=0.257), time to first flatus (3.3 days vs. 3.4 days, P=0.744), number of harvested lymph nodes (30.3 nodes vs. 33.8 nodes, P=0.071) and postoperative hospital stay (7 days vs. 7 days, P=0.067) between two groups. The incidence of intra-abdominal infection in patients with IA was significantly higher than that in those with EA [13.7%(10/73) vs. 1.7%(2/121), P=0.001], while the differences of the incidence of wound infection [1.4%(1/73) vs. 3.3%(4/121), P=0.652], respiratory infection [1.4%(1/73) vs. 3.3%(4/121), P=0.652] and urinary tract infection [2.7%(2/73) vs. 0.8%(1/121), P=0.558] were not significant.

CONCLUSIONCompared with EA, IA may increase the risk of intra-abdominal infection in patients undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of pacing in different parts of the ventricle on left ven-tricular mechanical asynchrony using myocardial metabolic imaging.Methods A total of 56 elderly patients undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation in our hospital from January to November 2023 were recruited and randomly divided into left bundle branch pacing(LBBAP)group and right ventricular pacing(RVP)group,with 28 patients in each group.Another 28 elderly patients who did not undergo pacemaker implantation surgery were selected as the control group.Within 1 week after pacemaker implantation,18F fluorodeoxyglucose(18F-FDG)positron emission tomo-graphy(PET)/CT myocardial metabolism imaging was performed to analyze PET myocardial metabolism images and evaluate left ventricular mechanical synchrony.Results The LVEF was significantly higher in the control group than the LBBAP group and RVP group[(67.68±9.61)％vs(62.71±11.33)％vs(57.36±16.07)％,P=0.012],but no such difference was seen between the LBBAP group and the RVAP group(P＞0.05).The LBBAP group had obviously lower pat-tern standard deviation(PSD),phase histogram bandwidth(PHBW),entropy,summed motion score(SMS),summed thickening score(STS),extent of abnormal motion(Mot Ext)and thicken-ing extent(Thk Ext)when compared with the RVP group(P＜0.01).There were no statistical significant differences in the terms of PSD,PHBW,Entropy,SMS,STS,Mot Ext,and Thk Ext between the LBBAP group and the control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT myo-cardial metabolic imaging can be used to evaluate left ventricular mechanical synchrony in pacing different parts of the ventricle,and LBBAP can obtain better left ventricular synchrony parame-ters than RVP,similar to the control group.

At present, fatigue state monitoring of upper limb movement generally relies solely on surface electromyographic signal (sEMG) to identify and classify fatigue, resulting in unstable results and certain limitations. This paper introduces the sEMG signal recognition and motion capture technology into the fatigue state monitoring process and proposes a fatigue analysis method combining an improved EMG fatigue threshold algorithm and biomechanical analysis. In this study, the right upper limb load elbow flexion test was used to simultaneously collect the biceps brachii sEMG signal and upper limb motion capture data, and at the same time the Borg Fatigue Subjective and Self-awareness Scale were used to record the fatigue feelings of the subjects. Then, the fatigue analysis method combining the EMG fatigue threshold algorithm and the biomechanical analysis was combined with four single types: mean power frequency (MPF), spectral moments ratio (SMR), fuzzy approximate entropy (fApEn) and Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZC). The test results of the evaluation index fatigue evaluation method were compared. The test results show that the method in this paper has a recognition rate of 98.6% for the overall fatigue state and 97%, 100%, and 99% for the three states of ease, transition and fatigue, which are more advantageous than other methods. The research results of this paper prove that the method in this paper can effectively prevent secondary injury caused by overtraining during upper limb exercises, and is of great significance for fatigue monitoring.

Objective To construct an optimal prediction model of chickenpox in Urumqi, and to provide reference for formulating the prevention and control strategies of chickenpox. Methods The multivariate autoregressive moving average model (ARIMAX) and random forest model (RF) were established based on the monthly incidence of chickenpox in Urumqi from 2014 to 2018, and the monthly incidence of chickenpox in 2019 was used to test the models and evaluate their prediction effect. The prediction performance of the two models was compared, and the best model was selected to predict the incidence of chickenpox in Urumqi. Results The incidence of chickenpox in Urumqi showed a regular bimodal distribution with obvious seasonality, and it showed a slow upward trend from July 2014 to December 2019. The fitting model was ARIMA(0,1,0)(0,1,1)₁₂, the root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) of ARIMAX model training set were 1.29 and 0.95, respectively, and the RMSE and MAE of the test set were 1.88 and 1.44, respectively. The training set RMSE and MAE of RF model were 1.56 and 1.56, respectively, and the test set RMSE and MAE were 4.83 and 3.96, respectively. Conclusion The performance of ARIMAX model is better than that of RF model, which can better predict the incidence trend of chickenpox in Urumqi. It is necessary to optimize the prediction model according to the actual situation and provide scientific guidance for the prevention and control of chickenpox.

AIM: To observe the changes of macular retinal structure and microcirculation in patients with pituitary adenoma(PA)by optical coherence tomography(OCT)and optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA).METHODS: Cross-sectional study. A total of 40 PA patients treated at the department of neurosurgery, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from September 2021 to March 2023 were included as PA group, and 42 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers were selected as normal control group. All patients underwent visual field, OCT and OCTA examinations, and the correlation of ocular parameters in PA patients was analyzed.RESULTS:The vessel density(VD)of each retinal layer in the macular area of the PA group was lower than that of the normal control group, and the superficial vascular complex(SVC)-VD in the macular area was positively correlated with the thickness of the macular ganglion cell complex(mGCC)(except the nasal side of the inner ring and the lower part of the outer ring; P<0.05). The thickness of mGCC in each quadrant of the macular area and the thickness of the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer(CP-RNFL)in each quadrant were negatively correlated with the mean defect(MD)value of the visual field(P<0.05), and the area of the foveal avascular zone(FAZ)was positively correlated with the MD value(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The combination of OCT and OCTA can fully understand the microscopic changes of retinal structure and microcirculation function in PA patients, which is of great value in evaluating the preoperative visual function of PA patients.

To address the increasing need for detecting and validating protein biomarkers in clinical specimens, mass spectrometry (MS)-based targeted proteomic techniques, including the selected reaction monitoring (SRM), parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), and massively parallel data-independent acquisition (DIA), have been developed. For optimal performance, they require the fragment ion spectra of targeted peptides as prior knowledge. In this report, we describe a MS pipe-line and spectral resource to support targeted proteomics studies for human tissue samples. To build the spectral resource, we integrated common open-source MS computational tools to assemble a freely accessible computational workflow based on Docker. We then applied the workflow to gen-erate DPHL, a comprehensive DIA pan-human library, from 1096 data-dependent acquisition (DDA) MS raw files for 16 types of cancer samples. This extensive spectral resource was then applied to a proteomic study of 17 prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Thereafter, PRM validation was applied to a larger study of 57 PCa patients and the differential expression of three proteins in prostate tumor was validated. As a second application, the DPHL spectral resource was applied to a study consisting of plasma samples from 19 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients and 18 healthy control subjects. Differentially expressed proteins between DLBCL patients and healthy control subjects were detected by DIA-MS and confirmed by PRM. These data demonstrate that the DPHL supports DIA and PRM MS pipelines for robust protein biomarker discovery. DPHL is freely accessible at https://www.iprox.org/page/project.html?id=IPX0001400000.
