The prognosis of malignant tumors of the digestive system is still a matter of close attention in the medical and health field. At present, evaluating the prognosis of patients with digestive system malignant tumors is mainly based on the TNM staging of the tumor after surgery. As one of the ten characteristics of cancer, inflammatory indicators have certain guiding significance for the prognosis and treatment of patients with malignant tumors of the digestive system. As a new type of inflammation index, the systemic inflammatory response index is significantly better than other traditional inflammatory indexes in evaluating the prognosis of patients with digestive system malignant tumors. This article reviews the related studies on the systemic inflammatory response index in evaluating the prognosis of digestive system malignant tumors.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of total laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for locally advanced esophagogastric junction carcinoma and its effect on patient's immune function and levels of tumor markers.Methods:A total of 106 patients who underwent total laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (total endoscopic group) in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2016 to April 2020 were collected, and 98 patients who underwent open radical gastrectomy (open group) in the same period were selected. The short-term efficacy, preoperative and postoperative immune function and tumor markers were compared between the two groups.Results:The operative time of the total endoscopic group was longer than that of the open group [(214±49) min vs. (165±32) min, t = 8.87, P < 0.01], the intraoperative blood loss was less than that of the open group [(86±50) ml vs. (113±53) ml, t = 3.59, P < 0.01], the postoperative first exhaust time was shorter than that of the open group [3.0 d (3.0 d, 4.0 d) vs. 3.5 d (3.0 d, 4.5 d), Z = 2.89, P < 0.01], and the incision length was shorter than that of the open group [(4.6±0.6) cm vs. (17.6±2.0) cm, t = 68.63, P < 0.01]. The postoperative proportion of CD4 + T cells, CD4 +/CD8 + and proportion of NK cells in the total endoscopic group were higher than those in the open group [(41±8)% vs.(36±8)%, t = 4.710, P < 0.01; 1.63 (1.19, 2.30) vs. 1.15 (0.87, 1.63), Z = 4.165, P < 0.01; 24.60 % (17.77 %, 32.50 %) vs. 19.25 % (13.35 %, 25.80 %), Z = 3.440, P < 0.01], while the postoperative proportions of CD8 + T cells and regulatory T cells in the total endoscopic group were lower than those in the open group [(26±11)% vs. (30±10)%, t = 2.375, P = 0.018; 3.37% (5.00%, 6.70%) vs. 4.48% (5.70%, 7.20%), Z = 3.057, P = 0.002]. Postoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) in the total endoscopy were lower than those in the open group group [0.96 μg/L (0.54 μg/L, 1.50 μg/L) vs. 1.27 μg/L (0.70 μg/L, 2.98 μg/L), Z = 2.745, P = 0.036; 8.07 U/ml (5.48 U/ml, 13.07 U/ml) vs. 10.80 U/ml (6.54 U/ml, 19.93 U/ml), Z = 2.690, P = 0.043]. Conclusion:Compared with open surgery, total laparoscopic radical gastrectomy has less trauma and stress response, and has less impact on the gastrointestinal and immune function of patients, and the levels of tumor markers CEA and CA199 are low.

With persistent advancement of surgical instruments, methods and techniques, clinical efficacy of liver transplantation has been steadily enhanced. However, the length of anhepatic phase is still an important factor affecting the efficacy of liver transplantation. Rat is one of the major animal models for liver transplantation-related basic research. In this article, multiple approaches for prolonging the anhepatic phase and shortening the operation time during anhepatic phase in rat liver transplantation were reviewed, which consisted of sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia, intravenous infusion via jugular vein indwelling needle, clamping of the abdominal aorta before anhepatic phase, injection of normal saline into portal vein before anhepatic phase, subcutaneous transposition of the spleen, electrocoagulation of hepatic esophageal artery, magnetic ring anastomosis of the superior and inferior hepatic vena cava, cannula anastomosis of the superior and inferior hepatic vena cava, stent anastomosis of the superior and inferior hepatic vena cava, rapid connection device and cannula of portal vein, and ring-shaped cannula of hepatic tissue-preserving inferior hepatic vena cava, aiming to add evidence for prolonging the duration of anhepatic phase, improving the operation efficiency during anhepatic phase and elevating the success rate of rat liver transplantation.
