OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical significance of low ligation of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) and preservation of left colic artery in laparoscopic radical operation for rectal cancer.

METHODSClinical data of 103 rectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical operation in Ruijin Hospital from May 2015 to January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, including 61 cases with preservation of left colic artery (low ligation group, LL group) and 42 cases without preservation of left colic artery (high ligation group, HL group). Clinical conditions during operation and after operation were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSAll the patients underwent operation successfully without transferring to laparotomy, intra-operative or post-operative death, and severe intra-operative or anesthetic complications. Age, gender, BMI, ASA score, tumor size and tumor location were not significantly different between the two groups. Four cases(9.5%) in HL group presented ischemic changes in colonic stump during operation, receiving additional colonic resection and no such ischemic changes were found in LL group (P=0.025). The number of harvested lymph node was 16.1±6.8 in HL group and 15.5±7.2 in LL group, number of harvest lymph node in the root of IMA was 4.2±1.7 in HL group with positive rate of 9.5%(4/42) and 4.3±1.7 in LL group with positive rate of 4.9%(3/61), both were not significantly different between the two groups. Lower margin was (2.2±1.4) cm in LL group and (2.8±1.7) cm in HL group, and difference was not significant as well(all P>0.05). There were no significant differences in terms of operation time, blood loss, post-operative complication, recovery of bowel movement and hospital stay. Median follow-up time was 4.5 months(2 to 10 months) and no long-term complications and local recurrence were found.

CONCLUSIONLow ligation of IMA with preservation of left colic artery in laparoscopic radical operation for rectal cancer can provide better blood supply for proximal colon and anastomosis, and can achieve same radical clearance of lymph nodes as high ligation without prolonged operation time, which is worth clinical promotion.

Objective:To explore the role of the multidimensional therapy in postpartum rehabilitation. Method:150 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the control group and the exper-imental group.The control group received routine postpartum rehabilitation education and guidance,while the experimental group received the postpartum rehabilitation multidimensional therapy(PRMT)on this basis.The postpartum weight retention,posture change,body fat distribution,pelvic floor muscle surface voltage,inter-recti distance(IRD)and the scores of incontinence quality of life questionnaire(I-QOL),pelvic floor impact questionnaire short form(PFIQ-7)and Edinburgh postnatal depression scale(EPDS)were respectively mea-sured to observe the effect of intervention.Satisfaction with the PRMT was investigated by self-made question-naire before and after intervention. Result:The body weight(BW),waist circumference(WC),body mass index(BMI)and waist-hip ratio(WHR)of the experimental group were significantly reduced after 40 days intervention(P＜0.01),and the BMI,WC and WHR were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01);the percentage body fat(PBF),body fat mass(BFM),visceral fat area(VFA)and fat mass index(FMI)were significantly reduced(P＜0.01)in the experimental group,PBF,BFM and FMI were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05);the pelvic floor type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ muscle fiber voltage,assessment total score,I-QOL score were significantly increased(P＜0.01)and PFIQ-7 score were significantly decreased(P＜0.01)in the experimen-tal group,and the pelvic floor type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ muscle fiber voltage,assessment total score and I-QOL score were significantly higher than those in control group(P＜0.05).The IRD of parturients in the resting and flexion state of experimental groups was significantly reduced,with significant difference compared with before intervention(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).In addition,the IRD of the upper umbilical margin and the lower um-bilical margin at resting state and the lower umbilical margin at flexion state were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After intervention,the EPDS in the experimental group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),and the improvement were significantly better than the control group(P＜0.05).The 57 parturients in the experimental group completed the satisfaction questionnaire,about 80％of them were satis-fied with the PRMT process and considered that the PRMT improved their willingness to have a second or third child. Conclusion:PRMT was effective in improving the postpartum weight retention,posture change,body fat dis-tribution,pelvic floor function injury,diastasis recti abdominis(DRA)and postpartum psychological depression.

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation in peritoneal chemotherapy for gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis. Methods: From January 2019 to June 2019, the clinical data of 6 patients diagnosed as gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis were retrospectively analyzed in the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. Five were male and 1 was female. The median age was 69.5 (28-77) years. The median body mass index (BMI) was 22.8 (19.6-23.5). All procedures were performed under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. The patient′s body position and facility layout in the operating room were consistent with those of laparoscopic gastrectomy. The operator′s position: the main surgeon was located on the right side of the patient, the first assistant stood on the left side of the patient, and the scopist stood between the patient′s legs. Surgical procedure: (1) trocar location: three abdominal trocars was adopted, with one 12 mm umbilical port for the 30° laparoscope (point A). Location of the other two trocars was dependent on the procedure of exploration or biopsy as well as the two polyester cuff position of the peritoneal dialysis catheter: Usually one 5 mm port in the anterior midline 5 cm inferior to the umbilicus point was selected as point B to ensure that the distal end of the catheter could reach the Douglas pouch. The other 5 mm port was located in the right lower quadrant lateral to the umbilicus to establish the subcutaneous tunnel tract, and the proximal cuff was situated 2 cm away from the desired exit site (point C).(2) exploration of the abdominal cavity: a 30° laparoscope was inserted from 12 mm trocar below the umbilicus to explore the entire peritoneal cavity. The uterus and adnexa should be explored additionally for women. Once peritoneal metastasis was investigated and identified, primary laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation was performed so as to facilitate subsequent peritoneal chemotherapy. Ascites were collected for cytology in patients with ascites. (3) peritoneal dialysis catheter placement: the peritoneal dialysis catheter was introduced into the abdominal cavity from point A. Under the direct vision of laparoscopy, 2-0 absorbable ligature was reserved at the expected fixation point of the proximal cuff (point B) for the final knot closure. Non-traumatic graspers were used to pull the distal cuff of peritoneal dialysis catheter out of the abdominal cavity through point B. The 5-mm trocar was removed simultaneously, and the distal cuff was fixed between bilateral rectus sheaths at the anterior midline port site preperitoneally. To prevent subsequent ascites and chemotherapy fluid extravasation, the reserved crocheted wire was knotted. From point C the subcutaneous tunnel tract was created before the peritoneal steath towards the port site lateral to the umbilicus. Satisfactory catheter irrigation and outflow were then confirmed. Chemotherapy regimen after peritoneal dialysis catheterization: all patients began intraperitoneal chemotherapy on the second day after surgery. On the 1st and 8th day of each 3-weeks cycle, paclitaxel (20 mg/m²) was administered through peritoneal dialysis catheter, and paclitaxel (50 mg/m²) was injected intravenously. Meanwhile, S-1 was orally administered twice daily at a dose of 80 mg·m^-2·d^-1 for 14 consecutive days followed by 7-days rest. To observe the patients′ intraoperative and postoperative conditions. Results: All the procedures were performed successfully without intraoperative complications or conversion to laparotomy. No 30 day postoperative complications were observed. The median operative time was 33.5 (23-38) min. The median time to first flatus was 1(1-2) days, and the median postoperative hospital stay was 3 (3-4) days, without short-term complications within 30 days postoperatively. The last follow-up was up to July 10, 2019, and the patients were followed for 4(1-6) months. No ascites extravasation was observed and no death occurred in the 6 patients. There was no catheter obstruction or peritoneal fluid extravasation during and after chemotherapy. Conclusion Laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation was safe and feasible for patients with peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. The abdominal exploration, tumor staging and the abdominal chemotherapy device implantation can be completed simultaneously, which could simplify the surgical approach, improve the quality of life for patients and further propose a new direction for the development of abdominal chemotherapy.

Objective To explore the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors of laparoscopic gastrectomy for stage T4a gastric cancer.Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 224 patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy of gastric cancer and D2 lymph node dissection in the Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine between February 2004 and December 2014 were collected.Lymph node dissection followed the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines (13th edition).Anastomotic methods included Billroth Ⅰ,Billroth Ⅱ and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy or esophagojejunostomy.Patients who were diagnosed in stage T4a by postoperative pathological examination underwent 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy.Observation indicators:(1) treatment;(2) postoperative pathological examination;(3) follow-up;(4) prognostic factors analysis.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect the postoperative tumor recurrence or metastases up to death (end of follow-up) or July 31,2016.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x±s and comparison between groups was analyzed using Student-t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (Q).Comparisons of count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.The overall and disease-free survival curves,overall and disease-free survival rates were respectively drawn and calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.The survival analysis was done by the Log-rank method.The univariate analysis was done by the chisquare test,and COX regression model which included affecting factors (P＜0.10) in the univariate analysis was used for the multivariate analysis.Results (1) Treatment:all the 244 patients underwent successful operation,without conversion to open surgery.Surgical method:laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (4 combined with cholecystectomy,1 with splenectomy and 1 with transverse colectomy) were detected in 125 patients and laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy in 99 patients (3 combined with cholecystectomy and 2 with splenectomy).Anastomotic method:Billroth Ⅰ,Billroth Ⅱ and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy or esophago-jejunostomy were respectively applied to 85,29 and 110 patients.Operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss were (229±50)minutes and (229 ± 146)mL.All patients underwent 6 or 8 cycles 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy.(2)Postoperative pathological examination:numbers of lymph node dissected and positive lymph nodes were 25± 11 per case and 13 (8,25),with R0 resection.Tumor pathological diagnosis of 224 patients:tumor diameter was (4.5±2.3)cm.Tumors in 29,64,122 and 9 patients respectively located in 1/3 proximal stomach,1/3 middle segment of stomach,1/3 distal stomach and involving 2/3 or total stomach.Tumor differentiation:moderate-and high-differentiated tumors and low-and un-differentiated tumors were detected in 82 and 142 patients,respectively.Postoperative N staging:53,46,55 and 70 patients were detected in staging N0,N1,N2 and N3,respectively.Lymph node metastasis rates of 51,58,53 and 62 patients were 0,1％-15％,16％-40％ and ＞40％,respectively.Postoperative staging was T4a staging.(3) Follow-up:212 of 224 patients were followed up for 7-120 months,with a median time of 32 months.Of 212 follow-up patients,118 were survived and 94 died.Of 118 survived patients,13 and 105 were respectively survived with tumors and without tumor.Of 94 deaths,causes of 8 and 86 were respectively non-tumor and tumor-related deaths.The 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates of 224 patients were respectively 47.2％ and 43.6％.(4) Prognostic factors analysis:results of univariate analysis showed that tumor location,tumor diameter,N staging and lymph node metastasis rate were related factors affecting the postoperative 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates of patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy of stage T4a gastric cancer (x2 =6.365,3.740,32.232,48.977,P＜0.10;x2 =9.919,8.818,34.277,45.612,P＜ 0.10).Results of multivariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis rate was an independent factor affecting the postoperative 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates of patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy of stage T4a gastric cancer (HR =1.828,1.197,95％ confidence interval:1.353-2.469,0.945-1.516,P＜0.05).Postoperative 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates were respectively 72.5％,57.0％,41.6％,23.3％ and 70.0％,53.9％,37.0％,32.4％in staging N0,N1,N2 and N3 patients,with statistically significant differences in different staging (x2 =32.232,34.277,P＜0.05).Conclusion There are good long-term outcomes in laparoscopic gastrectomy for stage T4a gastric cancer,and lymph node metastasis rate is an independent factor affecting postoperative overall and disease-free survival of patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based integrated deep learning model for predicting the times of linear staplers used in double stapling technique for middle-low rectal cancer resection.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 263 patients who underwent low anterior resection (LAR) for middle-low rectal cancer in Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2018 to December 2022 were collected as training dataset. There were 183 males and 80 females, aged 63(55,68)years. The clinicopathological data of 128 patients with middle-low rectal cancer were collected as validation dataset, including 83 males and 45 females, with age as 65(57,70)years. The training dataset was used to construct the prediction model, and the validation dataset was used to validate the prediction model. Observation indicators: (1) clinicopathological features of patients in the training dataset; (2) influencing factors for ≥3 times using of linear staplers in the operation; (3) prediction model construction; (4) efficiency evaluation of prediction model; (5) validation of prediction model. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for non-parametric data analysis. Univariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model, and multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic stepwise regression model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was draw and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The AUC of the ROC curve >0.75 indicated the prediction model as acceptable. Comparison of AUC was conducted using the Delong test. Results:(1) Clinicopathological features of patients in the training dataset. Of the 263 patients, there were 48 cases with linear staplers used in the operation ≥3 times and 215 cases with linear staplers used in the operation ≤2 times. Cases with preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) >5 μg/L, cases with anastomotic leakage, cases with tumor diameter ≥5 cm were 20, 12, 13 in the 48 cases with linear staplers used ≥3 times in the operation, versus 56, 26, 21 in the 215 cases with linear staplers used ≤2 times in the operation, showing significant differences in the above indicators between them ( χ2=4.66, 5.29, 10.45, P<0.05). (2) Influencing factors for ≥3 times using of linear staplers in the operation. Results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative serum CEA >5 μg/L and tumor diameter ≥5 cm were independent risk factors for ≥3 times using of linear staplers in the operation ( odds ratio=2.26, 3.39, 95% confidence interval as 1.15-4.43, 1.50-7.65, P<0.05). (3) Prediction model construction. According to the results of multivariate analysis, the clinical prediction model was established as Logit(P)=-2.018+0.814×preoperative serum CEA (>5 μg/L as 1, ≤5 μg/L as 0)+ 1.222×tumor diameter (≥5 cm as 1, <5 cm as 0). The image data segmented by the Mask region convolutional neural network (MASK R-CNN) was input into the three-dimensional convolutional neural network (C3D), and the image prediction model was constructed by training. The image data segmented by the MASK R-CNN and the clinical independent risk factors were input into the C3D, and the integrated prediction model was constructed by training. (4) Efficiency evaluation of prediction model. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the clinical prediction model was 70.0%, 81.0% and 79.4%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.51. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the image prediction model was 50.0%, 98.3% and 91.2%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.48. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the integrated prediction model was 70.0%, 98.3% and 94.1%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.68. The AUC of clinical prediction model, image prediction model and integrated prediction model was 0.72(95% confidence interval as 0.61-0.83), 0.81(95% confidence interval as 0.71-0.91) and 0.88(95% confidence interval as 0.81-0.95), respectively. There were significant differences in the efficacy between the integrated prediction model and the image prediction model or the clinical prediction model ( Z=2.98, 2.48, P<0.05). (5) Validation of prediction model. The three prediction models were externally validated by validation dataset. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the clinical prediction model was 62.5%, 66.1% and 65.6%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.29. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the image prediction model was 58.8%, 95.5% and 92.1%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.64. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the integrated prediction model was 68.8%, 97.3% and 93.8%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.66. The AUC of clinical prediction model, image prediction model and integrated prediction model was 0.65(95% confidence interval as 0.55-0.75), 0.75(95% confidence interval as 0.66-0.84) and 0.84(95% confidence interval as 0.74-0.93), respec-tively. There was significant differences in the efficacy between the clinical prediction model and the integrated prediction model ( Z=3.24, P<0.05). Conclusion:The MRI-based deep-learning model can help predicting the high-risk population with ≥3 times using of linear staplers in resection of middle-low rectal cancer with double stapling technique.

Objective:To analyze and summarize the implementation effect of basic essential surgical training (BEST) course of laparoscopic skills over the past 10 years and the practical experience in updating course content and models.Methods:The pre-class assessment questionnaires, basic laparoscopic operation assessment results, and post-class assessment questionnaires of the students who participated in the BEST course of laparoscopic skills were collected. According to the period of the course construction, the students were divided into two groups, namely students who used the course of single training system in the early stage (traditional group) and students who used the course integrating a variety of training systems after the course model was updated in the later stage (test group). The two groups were compared for the scores of track circle moving, tunnel crossing, and high and low columns, as well as their subjective evaluation of course setting and implementation effect. The t-test, Wilcoxon test, or chi-square test was conducted according to the data type using SPSS 13.0. Results:The time for 150 traditional group students to complete track circle moving, tunnel crossing, and high and low columns was 1.08 min (0.81 min, 1.60 min), 2.20 min (1.60 min, 3.27 min), and 4.86 min (3.28 min, 6.36 min), respectively, while the time for 75 test group students to complete the three operations was 1.27 min (0.87 min, 1.83 min), 2.57 min (1.58 min, 4.07 min), and 4.35 min (2.90 min, 6.42 min), respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). In terms of students' subjective evaluation of the course, a higher percentage of the test group students were satisfied with classroom environment, teaching method arrangement, training equipment, training opportunities, helping clinical work, and meeting pre-class expectations than those in the traditional group. Conclusion:The constantly updated BEST course can ensure the training quality of trainees and obtain their higher satisfaction. The benefits of this course in clinical practice can be further verified through long-term follow-up of these trainees.

Results:(1) Gastrojejunal bypass surgery and postoperative situations: 10 patients received modified gastrojejunal bypass surgery combined with No.4sb lymph node dissection, without intraoperative serious complications, conversion to laparotomy or death. The operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, time to postoperative first flatus, time to liquid diet intake were 73 minutes(range, 60-87 minutes), 33 mL(range,20-110 mL), 3 days(range, 2-6 days), 4 days(range, 4-9 days). One patient had post-operative Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ complication of anastomotic bleeding, and was improved after transfusion of blood products. (2) Conversion therapy and complications: of 10 patients, 9 cases received 4 cycles of FLOT regimen. One of the 9 cases was suspended chemotherapy due to Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ anastomotic edema after 2 cycles of FLOT regimen. Of 10 patients, there were 6 cases with partial response and 4 cases with stable disease. Of 6 patients with partial response, 4 cases with preoperative cT4b stage were down stage to T4a stage, showing the relationship of tumor with transverse mesentery and pancreatic capsule clearer than the first exploration, 2 cases with preoperative lymph nodes fusion had shrank obviously. Of 4 patients with stable disease, 3 cases were negative for lymph nodes shranking, and the rest 1 case with tumor peritoneal metastasis diagnosed by initial laparoscopy can not be evaluated by imaging examination after chemotherapy. Two of 10 patients had Clavien-Dindo grade I complication of elevated blood glucose during the chemotherapy, which were improved after insulin therapy. (3) Radical gastrectomy and post-operative situations: 10 patients underwent radical resection after conversion therapy. Of 4 cases with stable disease, 3 cases with preoperative lymph nodes fusion showed obvious space between lymph nodes and surrounding tissues at resurgical exploration and received radical resection, 1 case with peritoneal metastasis showed abdominal wall nodelus and omental tuberosity as fibrous scars at resurgical exploration and received radical resection. The operation time, volume of intra-operative blood loss, time to postoperative first flatus, time to initial liquid diet intake, duration of total hospital stay, duration of postoperative hospital stay of 10 patients were 148 minutes(range, 95-195 minutes), 108 mL(range, 100-180 mL), 3 days(range, 2-7 days), 4 days(range, 3-9 days), 11 days(range, 10-21 days), 8 days(range, 7-16 days). Two of 10 patients had perioperative complications. Results of pathological examination of 10 patients showed the number of dissected lymph nodes as 25±6. There were 1 case of stage T1, 5 cases of stage T3, 4 cases of stage T4a. There were 1 case of stage N0, 2 cases of stage N1, 3 cases of stage N2, 4 cases of stage N3. There were 3 cases of tumor regression grade 1a, 1 case of grade 1b, 4 cases of grade 2, 2 cases of grade 3. (4) Follow-up: 10 patients were followed up for 3.9-13.0 months, with a median follow-up time of 6.0 months. The median progression-free survival time of 10 patients was 6.0 months. During the follow-up, 1 case underwent postoperative Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ complication of delayed gastric emptying and was improved after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion:The gastrojejunal bypass surgery combined with gastrectomy following conversion therapy for gastric cancer with outlet obstruction is safe and effective.

On the 1st and 8th day of each 3?weeks cycle, paclitaxel (20 mg/m2) was administered through peritoneal dialysis catheter, and paclitaxel (50 mg/m2) was injected intravenously. Meanwhile, S?1 was orally administered twice daily at a dose of 80 mg·m-2·d-1 for 14 consecutive days followed by 7?days rest. To observe the patients′ intraoperative and postoperative conditions. Results All the procedures were performed successfully without intraoperative complications or conversion to laparotomy. No 30 day postoperative complications were observed. The median operative time was 33.5 (23?38) min. The median time to first flatus was 1(1?2) days, and the median postoperative hospital stay was 3 (3?4) days, without short?term complications within 30 days postoperatively. The last follow?up was up to July 10, 2019, and the patients were followed for 4(1?6) months. No ascites extravasation was observed and no death occurred in the 6 patients. There was no catheter obstruction or peritoneal fluid extravasation during and after chemotherapy. Conclusion Laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation was safe and feasible for patients with peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. The abdominal exploration, tumor staging and the abdominal chemotherapy device implantation can be completed simultaneously, which could simplify the surgical approach, improve the quality of life for patients and further propose a new direction for the development of abdominal chemotherapy.
