Objective To explore the methods and curative effect of metallic self-expanding stent in inoperable malignant gas-troduodenal obstruction. Methods The data of 15 cases with gastroduodenal obstruction including 9 cases of carcinoma of head of pancreas and 6 cases of carcinoma of stomach were analyzed retrospectively. The operative procedures of the stent implanted and the tors accepted more radiation dose because the manipulation was under the fluoroscopy in a short distance and with a full field of view. sions, the postoperative eating habit and the development turnover of disease. The main death reasons were tumor transfer and sys-tem exhaustion. Conclusion To pay close attention to the details and main points of operative procedure is the key point to implant stent successfully for malignant gastroduodenal obstruction. The determinative factor to influence the curative effect is the develop-ment turnover of tumor.

Objective To investigate the effect of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2(Nrf2) on the anti-hypoxia and anti-apoptotic ability of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs). Methods Human embryonic kidney cells(293FT) were transfected with recombinant plasmid which overexpressed Nrf2 and helper plasmid. High-titer lentivirus which overexpressed Nrf2 were obtained. MSCs were transfected with lentivirus with Nrf2 overexpression and empty lentiviral vector to establish Nrf2-MSCs which stably overexpressed Nrf2 (Nrf2 overexpression group) and green fluorescent protein (GFP)-MSCs(control group). The expression of green fluorescent in 2 groups was observed by fluorescence microscope. The expression level of Nrf2 protein in 2 groups was measured by Western Blot. The anti-hypoxia ability of 2 groups was observed by light microscope. The anti-apoptotic ability of 2 groups was measured by flow cytometry. Results Nrf2-MSCs which stably overexpressed Nrf2 were successfully established. Western Blot analysis revealed that the expression level of Nrf2 protein in the Nrf2 overexpression group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.01). After 15 h hypoxia treatment, the cell activity in the Nrf2 overexpression group was significantly higher than that in the control group. Flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate in the Nrf2 overexpression group was (30.9±1.4)%, significantly lower than (61.3±1.3)% in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusions Nrf2-MSCs which can stably overexpress Nrf2 possess certain anti-hypoxia and anti-apoptotic ability in hypoxia environment.

The accelerating growth of the public microbial genomic data imposes substantial bur-den on the research community that uses such resources. Building databases for non-redundant ref-erence sequences from massive microbial genomic data based on clustering analysis is essential. However, existing clustering algorithms perform poorly on long genomic sequences. In this article, we present Gclust, a parallel program for clustering complete or draft genomic sequences, where clustering is accelerated with a novel parallelization strategy and a fast sequence comparison algo-rithm using sparse suffix arrays (SSAs). Moreover, genome identity measures between two sequences are calculated based on their maximal exact matches (MEMs). In this paper, we demon-strate the high speed and clustering quality of Gclust by examining four genome sequence datasets. Gclust is freely available for non-commercial use at https://github.com/niu-lab/gclust. We also introduce a web server for clustering user-uploaded genomes at http://niulab.scgrid.cn/gclust.

Closed-loop hospital management can effectivly cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to ensure the continuity of treatments for hemodialysis patients under closed-loop management and minimize possible medical and infection risks, Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University and 9 hospitals in Shanghai established a hemodialysis alliance in January 2021.The alliance optimized hemodialysis resources within the region through overall planning by preparing sites, materials and personnel shifts in advance, and establishing management systems and work processes to ensure that patients could be quickly and orderly diverted to other blood dialysis centers for uninterrupted high-quality hemodialysis services, in case that some hemodialysis centers in the alliance under closed-loop management.From November 2021 to April 2022, 317 of 1 459 hemodialysis patients in the alliance were diverted to other centers for treatment, accumulating 1 215 times/cases of treatments without obvious adverse reactions. The practice could provide a reference for medical institutions to quickly establish mutual support mode under major public health events.

Objective    To investigate the safety and efficacy of 3D single-portal inflatable mediastinoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Methods    Clinical data of 28 patients, including 25 males and 3 females, aged 51-76 years, with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma undergoing single-portal inflatable mediastinoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy from June 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups according to different surgical methods including a 3D mediastinoscopic group (3D group, 10 patients) and a 2D mediastinoscopic group (2D group, 18 patients). The perioperative outcome of the two groups were compared. Results    Compared with the 2D group, the 3D group had shorter operation time (P=0.017), more lymph nodes resected (P=0.005) and less estimated blood loss (P=0.015). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the main surgeon's vertigo and visual ghosting (P>0.05). The other aspects including the indwelling time, postoperative hospital stay, pulmonary infection, arrhythmia, anastomotic fistula, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury were not statistically significant between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion    The 3D inflatable mediastinoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer, which optimizes the surgical procedures of 2D, is safe and feasible, and is worthy of clinical promotion in the future.

Objective    To investigate the short-term follow-up results of inflatable mediastinoscopy combined with laparoscopy in the treatment of esophageal cancer. Methods    Clinical data of 102 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy were enrolled in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2019. Patients were divided into two groups according to different surgical methods, including a single-port inflatable mediastinoscopy combined with laparoscopy group (group A, n=59, 53 males and 6 females, aged 63.3±7.6 years, ranging from 45 to 75 years) and a video-assisted thoracoscopy combined with laparoscopy group (group B, n=43, 35 males and 8 females, aged 66.7±6.7 years, ranging from 50-82 years). The short-term follow-up results of the two groups were compared. Results    Compared with the group A, the rate of postoperative pulmonary complication of the group B was significantly lower (18.64% vs. 4.65%, P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in other postoperative complications (P>0.05). The 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year survival rates were 96.61%, 89.83%, and 73.33%, respectively in the group A, and were 95.35%, 93.02%, and 79.17%, respectively in the group B. There was no significant difference in short-term survival rate after operation (P>0.05). Conclusion    In the treatment of esophageal cancer, the incidence of pulmonary complications of inflatable mediastinoscopy combined with laparoscopy is lower than that of traditional video-assisted thoracoscopy combined with laparoscopy, and there is no significant difference in other postoperative complications or short-term survival rate between the two methods. Inflatable mediastinoscopy combined with laparoscopy for radical esophageal cancer is a relatively safe surgical method with good short-term curative effects, and long-term curative effects need to be further tested.

Objective    To investigate the safety and efficacy of naked eye 3D thoracoscopic surgery in minimally invasive esophagectomy. Methods    Clinical data of 65 patients, including 50 males and 15 females aged 47-72 years, with esophageal cancer who underwent minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy from October 2018 to April 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups according to different surgical methods including a naked eye 3D thoracoscopic group (group A: 30 patients) and a traditional 2D thoracoscopic group (group B: 35 patients). The effects of the two groups were compared. Results    The operation time in the group A was significantly shorter than that in the group B (P<0.05). The number of dissected lymph nodes in the group A was more than that in the group B (P<0.05). The thoracic drainage volumes on the 1th-3th days after operation in the group A were significantly larger than those in the group B (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups on the 4th-5th days after operation (P>0.05). The indwelling time in the group A was longer than that in the group B (P<0.05). Postoperative hospital stay, pulmonary infection, arrhythmia, anastomotic leakage, and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion    Naked eye 3D thoracoscopic surgery for minimally invasive esophagectomy is a safe and effective surgical procedure. Compared with traditional 2D minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery, it is safer in operation and more thorough in clearing lymph nodes. The operation is more efficient and can be promoted.

Objective    To investigate the safety and efficacy of 3D thoracoscopic surgery in uniportal lobectomy. Methods    Clinical data of 248 patients with lung cancer who underwent uniportal thoracoscopic lobectomy in our hospital from September 2018 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups according to different surgical methods, a 3D thoracoscopic group (76 patients, including 52 males and 24 females with an average age of 58.59±7.62 years) and a 2D thoracoscopic group (172 patients, including 102 males and 70 females with an average age of 57.75±8.59 years). Statistical analysis of clinical and pathological data, lymph node dissection, surgical complications, postoperative hospital stay, etc was performed. Results    Compared with the 2D thoracoscopic group, the 3D thoracoscopic group had shorter operation time, more lymph nodes dissected and pleural effusion on the first day after operation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the postoperative chest tube duration, postoperative hospital stay, incidence of pulmonary infection, arrhythmia, bronchopleural fistula, or recurrent laryngeal nerve injury between the two groups. Conclusion    Compared with the traditional 2D thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery, uniportal lobectomy with 3D thoracoscopic surgery is safer and more efficient during operation, and lymph node dissection is more thorough, which is worth promoting.
