Objective To analyze the postoperative quality of life index and survival of Ⅱ,Ⅲ type adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) patients who were implemented radical surgery through the transthoracic approach or abdominal transhiatal approach.To explore the reasonable operative approach of Ⅱ,Ⅲ type AEG.Methods 139 cases of patients with Ⅱ,Ⅲ type AEG were prospectively enrolled into the group in Shanxi Cancer Hospital during March 2012 to September 2012.64 cases of them were in transthoracic approach (TT) group,and 75 cases in abdominal transhiatal approach (TH) group.The operative time,the residual incision margin cancer rate,the average number of lymph node dissection,postoperative hospital stay,the average number of days required for gastrointestinal function recovery,the incidence of cardiopulmonary complications,anastomotic leakage rate,postoperative bleeding rate,perioperative mortality,postoperative respiratory function decline rate within 1 year,the average weight loss after 1 year,postoperative reflux rate within 1 year,recurrence and metastasis rate within 1 year,and 1-year survival rate of two groups were respectively compared.Results Statistical analysis was done on the perioperative data of 139 patients,and regular follow-up was carried out for these 139 patients after they discharged from hospital,of which 26 cases were lost,the lost rate was 18.7 ％,so the followed-up cases were 113 cases.Postoperative hospital stay in transthoracic approach group was longer than abdominal transhiatal approach group with significant difference,(20.2±8.9) d vs (17.1±6.4) d (P ＜ 0.05),the average number of lymph node dissection in transthoracic approach group (15.2±7.5) was less than abdominal transhiatal approach group (23.0±13.0) with significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).No significant difference were observed in the operative time,the residual incision margin cancer rate,the average number of days required for gastrointestinal function recovery,the incidence of cardiopulmonary complications,anastomotic leakage rate,postoperative bleeding rate,perioperative mortality,postoperative respiratory function decline rate within 1 year,the average weight loss after 1 year,postoperative reflux rate within 1 year,recurrence and metastasis rate within 1 year,and 1-year survival rate of the two operation approaches (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Abdominal approach,through the esophageal hiatus radical surgery is a preferred operative approach of Ⅱ,Ⅲ type AEG.The average number of lymph node dissection in abdominal transhiatal approach group was more than transthoracic approach group.It may have some influence on the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of worsening renal function (WRF) in patients with chronic heart failure ( CHF) and WRF influence on prognosis. Methods A case-control study were undertaken to analyze independent risk factor statistically related to incidence of WRF, and to assess the influence of WRF on prognosis. Results The independent predictors of WRF were creatinine level at admission (OR 2.248,95% CI 1.088-4.647, P = 0.029) and NYHA class on admission ( OR 2.485, 95% CI 1.3854. 459, P = 0.002). The mortality of patient with WRF was obviously higher than that of control group during hospitalization( OR 3. 824,95% CI 2. 452-5. 637 ,P ＜0.015). Conclusions WRF is a common complication among patients hospitalized for CHF, and is obviously associated with mortality during hospitalization. Higher creatinine level and weak heart function are independent risk factors for incidence of WRF of patients with CHF.

Objective To synthesize 4 kinds of 111 In?TPP cations and evaluate their properties as tumor cationic radiotracers in vivo and in vitro. Methods DO3A?xy?TPP, DO3A?xy?mTPP, DO3A?xy?dmTPP and DO3A?xy?tmTPP were radiolabeled with 111 In;their lipid?water partition coefficients and in vivo and in vitro stability were evaluated. The binding affinities of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers were determined in cell uptake and cell efflux assay using U87MG tumor cells. Biodistribution studies and γ imaging studies were performed using the athymic nude mice bearing U87MG human glioma xenografts to explore the biologi?cal properties of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers. One?way analysis of variance was used. Results The labeling yields of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers were all above 85%, and the radiochemical purity were all greater than 99% after purification. Binding assay in U87MG cells showed that 4 kinds of radiotracers had great binding affinity and cell retention ability, and 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP had the best binding ratio (1?49%;F=177.8, P<0.05) . Gamma imaging and biodistribution results showed that the U87MG tumors could be clearly visualized by 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP, 111In?DO3A?xy?dmTPP and 111In?DO3A?xy?tmTPP, and the liver uptake of the 3 tracers was lower than that of 111In?DO3A?xy?TPP. In particular, 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP had the best tumor/liver ratio (0.13±0.05, 2 h postinjection;F=9.4, P<0?05). Conclusions The tumor?targeted ability of 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP is better than those of 111In?DO3A?xy?dmTPP, 111In?DO3A?xy?tmTPP and 111In?DO3A?xy?TPP, suggesting that it has the potential to be a promising tumor cationic radiotracer.

Objective To investigate the effect of Verisyse iris-claw intraocular lens implantation on correction of high myopia.Methods9 patients with highly myopic (18 eyes and diopter between-6.75 DS to-28.00 DS) were treated with Verisyse intraocular lens implantation. All the treated eyes were observed for uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, anterior segment changes and corneal endothelium preoperatively and postoperatively.ResultsThe implantation was successfully performed in all of 18 eyes. After 3 months, 11 eyes (61.1%) had the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) ≥0.5; 9 eyes (50.0%) had the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥0.8. UCVA and BCVA of every eye were significant improved ( P<0.01); the mean corneal astigmatism and mean intraocular pressure were not different from preoperation ( P>0.05). In all patients, one eye was oval and 2 other eyes showed decentered phakic IOL; 2 patients (2 eyes) complained of halo and glare; no severe complications occurred.ConclusionThe implantation of Verisyse iris-claw intraocular lens for the correction of high myopia has a significantly effect.

Objective To investigate the relationship among the late-life depression ( LLD ) , cognitive function and white matter lesions ( WML) , after excluding vascular risk factors and brain atrophy.Methods The depression and cognition status of 277 patients were assessed using a variety of neurological scales, and the actually enrolled patients were divided into LLD group ( 77 cases ) and the non-depressed group (103 cases).The independent samples t test and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze independent risk factors for depressive symptoms with the model Ⅰ of controlling age , sex, years of education and the model Ⅱof controlling age, sex, years of education, high blood pressure, diabetes and coronary heart disease.Under the premise of controlling mode Ⅱand brain atrophy , partial correlation was used to analyze the correlations of depressive symptoms and cognitive function and WML , and the correlation between depressive symptoms and cognitive items.Results The results showed that the proportion of high blood pressure (90.9%vs 74.7%, χ2 =6.342,P=0.046), cognitive scores (19.23 ±7.05 vs 22.99 ± 6.71, t=3.343,P=0.001), WML level 2 proportion (65.1% vs 34.9%, χ2 =7.373,P=0.025) and temporal lobe atrophy of hippocampal sulcus ratio (0.24 ±0.03 vs 0.22 ±0.03, t=-2.041,P=0.044) had statistically significant difference between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression showed that cognitive function was an independent risk factor for depression ( OR=1.63,95% CI 1.01 -2.80, P=0.030).Controlling for all risk factors , partial correlation analysis showed that depressive symptoms were correlated with cognitive function ( r=-0.239,P=0.004) and WML ( r=0.222,P=0.008) and the atrophy of temporal lobe and hippocampus ( r=0.173, P=0.040 ).Under the model Ⅱ, depressive symptoms correlated with attention (r=-0.175, P=0.040), memories (r=-0.140, P=0.050) and drawing clock test ( r=-0.186, P=0.029 ).Conclusions Excluding vascular risk factorts , brain atrophy and WML , cognitive impairment has significant correlation with depressive symptoms.Vascular risk factors are involved in the occurrence of depression , and WML may be the severity of cognitive impairment reserve marker.LLD patients showed hippocampal atrophy similar with early AD , manifesting the cognitive feature of memory and executive dysfunction and attention disorder .

No local cases were reported.

BACKGROUND:Finite element analysis is a commonly used mathematical modeling method to analyze the biomechanics of the lumbar spine.By constructing finite element models of the complex tissues such as muscles,blood vessels,and nerves in the lumbar region,mechanical analysis is performed to elucidate the pathogenesis of lumbar spine disorders and the mechanical mechanisms of treatment approaches. OBJECTIVE:To review the progress of finite element analysis in understanding the pathogenesis and treatment modalities of lumbar spine disorders,and to propose a new clinical workflow for the implementation of finite element analysis,aiming to provide a reference for future studies and promote the widespread utilization of finite element analysis in clinical diagnosis and treatment. METHODS:The PubMed database was searched using English keywords"finite element analysis,lumbar vertebra",while the WanFang and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)databases were searched using Chinese keywords"finite element analysis,lumbar vertebra".A total of 73 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Lumbar spine degeneration in non-slipped patients typically originates from the posterior annulus fibrosus,while in patients with lumbar spine spondylolisthesis,degeneration starts from the lumbar facet joints due to abnormal mechanical mechanisms.(2)Restoring vertebral body height can prevent adjacent-level degeneration,and finite element analysis-measured vertebral compression strength can serve as an effective predictor of fracture risk,replacing bone density measurements.(3)In lumbar spine fusion surgery,selecting fusion devices of appropriate height and placing them transversely can prevent device subsidence.Increased intervertebral strain,circumferential stress,and intervertebral pressure in adjacent segments after fusion surgery may contribute to the occurrence of degenerative changes in neighboring segments.(4)Finite element analysis results suggest that preoperative planning for transforaminal endoscopic surgery should include considerations for osteotomy size to avoid excessive destruction of the articular process,and intraoperatively,preferential selection of a technique that traverses the superior articular process for foraminal dilatation.(5)In percutaneous kyphoplasty,bilateral pedicle screw augmentation should be performed,distributing bone cement on both sides of the pedicle.More advanced non-aluminum glass polyalkenoate cement materials should be selected.(6)Traction therapy should be personalized based on individual patient characteristics,including customized traction angles and forces,to achieve optimal therapeutic effects.(7)Manual therapy can induce relative displacement between the herniated intervertebral disc and the nerve root,thereby reducing compression.(8)The workflow involving CT/MR-AI Plus FEA-AI Plus Surgical robots can enable more precise diagnosis and treatment.
