Objectives To investigate the methods of protecting external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN)in carotid endarterectomy and to observe the effect of using these methods in clinical surgery. Methods EBSLN (20 sides)of 10 heads of corpse were studied by using microanatomy from January 2013 to December 2013. The occurrence probability of EBSLN on the lower edge of posterior belly of digastric muscle,medial edge of external carotid artery and upper edge of superior thyroid artery in anatomy triangle was analyzed. The distances from the midpoint of the EBSLN to carotid bifurcation, mandibular angle and mastoid tip were measured. Sixty-five patients with carotid endarterectomy in Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from December 2013 to November 2014 were treated with the protective methods of the relevant EBSLN by using anatomy triangle as a mark. Whether the patients had injury symptoms of EBSLN were followed up after procedure. Results (1)The occurrence probability of 20-side EBSLN in anatomy triangle was 95%(19 sides). The midpoint of EBSLN in the anatomy triangle at the posterior mandibular angle was median 0. 34 (-1. 62 to 2. 43)cm,at the inferior mandibular angle was 1. 28 (-1. 33 to 3. 42) cm,at anterior mastoid tip was 2. 84 (0. 51 to 5. 14)cm,at inferior was 4. 51 (2. 82 to 6. 39)cm,and at anterior superior of the carotid bifurcation was 1. 64 (0. 57 to 3. 78)cm. (2)65 patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy used the protective methods of intraoperative EBSLN. There was no manifestation of EBSLN injury at 3 weeks to 9 months after procedure. Conclusion In carotid endarterectomy,taking an anatomic triangle as a symbol,it is no more than 2 cm of the anterior superior of carotid bifurcation during the separation process. As for the patients with higher or lower position of carotid bifurcation,in the range of crossing rear mandibular angle 0. 50 cm or below the mastoid tip 4. 50 cm for arterial separation should be avoided,and this can effectively protect EBSLN.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy of sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) therapy for fecal incontinence.

METHODSClinical researches which evaluated the efficacy of SNS and were published between 1946 and 2016 were systematically searched from electronic databases, including PubMed, Ovid Medline, Web of Science, Wanfang database and Chinese Journal Full-text Database. Grey area literatures were also searched. Influence of SNS therapy on fecal incontinence episodes (FIE) or Wexner incontinence score (WIS) was systematically evaluated. The statistical analysis was performed by RevMan5.2.

RESULTSA total of 6 studies including 270 patients (147 patients in SNS group and 123 patients in control group) with fecal incontinence were enrolled in this systematic review. SNS therapy was associated with a significant reduction in FIE (SMD=-0.69, 95%CI: -0.97 to -0.41, P<0.001) and a significant reduction in WIS (SMD=-5.05, 95%CI: -8.73 to -1.36, P=0.007). Sensitivity analysis showed that the results of this study were stable and the direction and significance of results were not changed (P=0.000 for both). Publication bias was not found by funnel picture in this study.

CONCLUSIONSNS significantly improves the outcome of patients with fecal incontinence.

Objective:To observe the changes of macular visual function after myopic foveoschisis (MF) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with internal limiting membrane peeling and air filling.Methods:A single-center, retrospective study. From October 2018 to October 2019, 29 MF inpatients (32 eyes) in Tianjin Eye Hospital were included in this study. There were 3 males (4 eyes) and 26 females (28 eyes). The age was 63.00±3.45 years old. Equivalent spherical lens degree was -14.16±2.54 D, and axial length was 29.14±1.04 mm. Among them, 3 patients (3 eyes) had lamellar macular holes. All eyes underwent standard pars plana three-channel 25G PPV combined with internal limiting membrane peeling and air filling. Before surgery and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, macular microperimetry was performed with a macular integrity assessment instrument, and the mean retinal sensitivitie (MS) within 10° of the macula, fovea 2° and 4° fixation rates (P1, P2), 63% and 95% bivariate contour ellipse area (BCEA) were recorded. The comparison of MS, P1, P2, 63%BCEA and 95%BCEA at different times before and after surgery was performed by paired t test; the comparison of fixation stability rate was performed by χ 2 test. Results:Compared with before surgery, there were significant differences in the improvement of MS in affected eyes at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery ( t=-2.208, -3.435,-4.919; P=0.038, 0.002, 0.000). In the pairwise comparison at different times after surgery, only 6 months after surgery and 1 month after surgery were significantly different ( P=0.036). Compared with the preoperative P1, P2, 63%BCEA and 95%BCEA, the P1 and P2 of the eyes gradually increased after surgery, while the 63%BCEA and 95%BCEA gradually decreased, however, the difference was not statistically significant (P1: t=-1.595,-1.698,-1.966; P=0.125, 0.104, 0.062. P2: t=-1.622,-1.654,-1.707; P=0.119, 0.112, 0.102. 63%BCEA: t=1.410, 1.409, 1.553; P=0.172, 0.173, 0.135. 95%BCEA: t=1.412, 1.408, 1.564; P=0.172, 0.173, 0.132). Six months after surgery, all the eyes underwent anatomical repositioning of the macular area, and no serious complications such as full-thickness macular hole and macular hole retinal detachment were found. Conclusions:PPV with internal limiting membrane peeling and air filling is an effective and safe method for MF, and the macular function improved significantly within 6 months postoperatively.

Objective:To investigate the effect of CIRc_0000267 on proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells in vitro.Methods:Gastric cancer cell lines with circ_0000267 knockdown and miR-661 overexpression were constructed in vitro, and the expressions of circ_0000267, miR-661 and NGAL mRNA in gastric cancer tissues and cells were detected by qRT-PCR. Cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis were detected by clonogenesis, Transwell chamber and flow cytometry, and related protein expression was detected by Western blot. Online prediction combined with double luciferase assay and RNA pull down assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between circ_0000267, miR-661 and NGAL. Tumogenesis assay in nude mice was used to observe the effect of circ_0000267 knockout on the growth of gastric cancer cells in vivo. Results:Circ_0000267 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and cells. Knockdown circ_0000267 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells and promote apoptosis. Circ_0000267 targeted miR-661, and inhibition of miR-661 partially reversed the effect of circ_0000267 on gastric cancer cells. NGAL was the target gene of miR-661, and overexpression of miR-661 regulated the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells by inhibiting NGAL. Knockdown circ_0000267 targeting miR-661 inhibited NGAL expression in gastric cancer cells; Knockdown circ_0000267 inhibited the growth of gastric cancer cells in vivo.Conclusions:Circ_0000267 may regulate the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells and inhibit the growth of tumors in vivo by regulating the expression of miR-661/NGAL.

Objective:To analyze hepatic hemodynamic parameters detected by Doppler ultrasound (DU) of uncomplicated children who underwent left lateral segment(LLS) LDLT (LLS-LDLT), explore their change trends over time and determine the normal reference intervals.Methods:This retrospective study involved the data from 261 pediatric LLS-LDLT cases in Tianjin First Central Hospital from June 2014 to January 2018. Hemodynamic parameters included peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), resistivity index (RI), and pulsation index (PI) of hepatic artery (HA), and portal vein velocity (PVV) during intra-operative and on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th days after operation were collected. Among whom, 232 cases with uncomplicated and normal recovery were finally involved in our study, with 200 cases who were collected from June 2014 to August 2017 as test group. Those collected from September 2017 to January 2018, totally 32 cases were set as validation group. The change trends and normal ranges of hemodynamic parameters over time were analyzed in test group, and the results were further tested in the validation group.Results:In the test group, PSV HA, EDV HA showed a similar change trend at one week after surgery, with an overall decrease-rise trend; RI HA, PI HA also changed similarly with an overall rise-decrease trend. PVV at surgery was lower than at all time points after surgery. In addition, this study provided the normal reference intervals of hemodynamic parameters for LDLT patients at early postoperative period, which at intra-operation they were PSV HA 18.4-98.3 cm/s, EDV HA 0-43.3 cm/s, RI HA 0.41-1.0, PI HA 0.51-2.0, PVV 19.0-83.7 cm/s. Within 1 week after surgery: PSV HA 21.0-97.7 cm/s, EDV HA 0-32.7 cm/s, RI HA 0.47-1.0, PI HA 0.62-2.0, PVV 23.0-92.0 cm/s. By using those results, the coincidence rate of Doppler parameter change trend was 84.3%(27/32), 84.3%(27/32), 78.1%(25/32), 78.1%(25/32), 87.5%(28/32) for PSV HA, EDV HA, RI HA, PI HA, PVV in the validation group, respectively. As for the normal reference intervals of blood flow parameters, RI HA and PI HA in one case in the validation group were lower than the lower limits of the normal reference intervals, accounting for 3.1% of the total. PSV HA in two cases was lower than the lower limit of normal reference interval, accounting for 6.2% of the total. Conclusions:The hepatic hemodynamic in post-transplanted children detected by DU has specific changing trends and normal ranges, which provides valuable reference values for ultrasonologists and pediatric transplant clinicians.
