Objective To evaluate the relationship between the Trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) serum,concentration and gastrointestinal failure(GIF) and discuss eaely diagnosis,treatment and prognosis in patients with GIF after esophageal cancer surgery.Methods To test the TFF3 levels of the serum during the postoperation of esophageal cancer by ELISA.Results Serum TFF3 concentrations measured prior to the occurrence of GIF were significantly higher than in control group (P ＜ 0.01).serum TFF3 concentration was significantly related to gastrointestinal tract function score(r =-0.712).Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed that the serum TFF3 concentrations at the time of occurrence of gastrointestinal failure,and 48 hours later,could be used as prognostic factors in critically ill pediatric patients with GIF(r =1.443 and 1.872,respectively).Conclusion TFF3 may play an important role in predicting GIF in pediatric critical illness and has a protective function in the mucosal repair process.

Objective To explore the feasibility of postoperative nutrition of cervical gastric fistula after radical resection of thoracic esophageal carcinoma.Methods 288 patients with esophageal carcinoma from January 2015 to December 2017 of thoracic surgery in the first hospital of Lanzhou University were analyzed,in which 133 patients underwent cervical gastric fistula,88 patients retained the nasal and enteral nutrition tube,and 67 patients underwent jejunum fistula.The postoperative complications were observed and analyzed.Results The cervical gastric fistula was significantly superior to the enteral nutrition catheter and jejunum fistula in the patients with pulmonary infection,stoma infection,oropharyngeal comfort and so on after thoracic and laparoscopic resection of esophageal carcinoma.Conclusion The high cervical gastric fistula is a safe and feasible nutritional support method for the patients with thoracic and laparoscopic resection of the posterior sternum and the radical resection of esophageal carcinoma.

Qi arrival is the meridian qi response to acupuncture stimulation. Through analyzing the relevant concepts of qi arrival and summarizing the general understanding of it in clinic and on the basis of the collection of the relevant literature at home and abroad on the determination of qi arrival and its strength, the characteristics are analyzed on the present method and the method for the determination of qi arrival and its strength is discussed in terms of the results in the needling sensation scale. It is believed that the needling sensation and its strength can be used to determine whether the qi is arrived or not and its strength. The components of different types of needling sensation are much better applicable for the analysis on the characteristics and rules on the influence on qi arrival. This method is in compliance not only with the theoretic connotation of qi arrival, but also with the clinical general understanding, which lays the foundation for the analysis on the scale results.

Gleason score was 7.1(6.0-9.0), with 12 cases (20.0%) of ≤6, 42 cases (70.0%) of 7, and 6 cases (10.0%)of ≥8. Prostate volume was 42.4(31.2-72.8)ml on average. There were 37 cases (61.7%) with BMI≤25 kg/m 2, and 23 cases (38.3%)with BMI >25 kg/m 2 . There were 17 cases(28.3%)of T 1, 32 cases(53.3%)of T 2 and 11 cases(18.3%)of T 3.The proportion of lymph node dissection was 11.7% and 4 cases (6.7%) had a history of operation.There was no statistically significant difference in term of age, PSA level, Gleason score, BMI, clinical stage, proportion of lymph node dissection or history of operation between the two groups( P>0.05), but there was statistically significant difference for prostate volume( P<0.05). All operations were performed by the same operator. Four different ways of bladder neck and urethral dissociation was selected according to the intraoperative conditions in Group A, include VIP style, T-shape incision style, VIP plus T-shape incision style or the style along the lateral side of the bladder neck. Small and single anterograde incision stripping of bladder neck was routinely performed in the Group B. Postoperative follow-up was performed to compare the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, bladder neck and urethral anastomosis time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative complications, positive rate of surgical margin, indwelling time of urinary catheter, urinary continence satisfaction rate of immediately after operation, 3 months and 6 months after operation, wound healing and aesthetics. Results:All of the operations were successfully completed under robot-assisted laparoscopy, and there was no conversion to open surgery. The operation time was 56.0(45.0-112.0) min in the Group A and 65.4(55.5-96.8) min in the Group B, and there was no statistically significant difference( P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss was 76.2(30.0-120.5) ml and 55.6(45.5-114.6) ml, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). The time of bladder neck urethral anastomosis was 18.9(12.6-25.6) min and 16.2(10.7-19.3) min, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). The postoperative hospital stay days were 9.3(8.0-16.0) d and 8.4(7.0-13.0) d, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). The postoperative exhaust time was 1.3(0.7-3.0) d and 3.4(2.0-7.0) d, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). There was 1 case of anastomotic fistula with ureteral injury in Group A, and no serious complication in Group B, and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). The number of positive surgical margin in the two groups was 13(15.9%)and 9(15.0%)respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). The indwelling time of urinary catheter after operation was 9(7-21) d and 6(4-8) d, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). The number of patients with satisfactory urinary continence immediately after surgery, 3 months and 6 months after surgery in the two groups were 8(9.8%), 51(62.2%), 62(75.6%) and 17(28.3%), 43(71.7%) and 54(90.0%), respectively. The differences were statistically significant( P<0.05). The total incision lengths in the two groups were 12.1(10.4-13.4) cm and 5.6(5.0-6.0) cm, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:The extraperitoneal single port RARP is safe and feasible, and the postoperative effect is similar to that of transperitoneal RARP. It has the advantages of shorter recovery time, higher urinary continence satisfaction rate, neater and more beautiful incision. The long-term therapeutic effect needs further confirming by prospective study.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical radiological features combined with circulating tumor cells in the diagnosis of benign and malignant pulmonary solid nodules.Methods:Clinical data of 437 patients from Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital(SPH cohort) from January to April 2021 and 82 patients from Lanzhou University First Hospital (LZH cohort) from August 2019 to May 2022 were retrospectively included. Patients in Shanghai pulmonary hospital were randomly divided into training set and internal validation set in a ratio of 4∶1 by random number table method and patients in Lanzhou University First Hospital were as external validation set. Independent risk factors were selected by regression analysis of training set constructed a Nomogram prediction model. The performance of the Nomogram prediction model was estimated by applying receiver operating curve( ROC) analysis, tested in different nodules size and intermediate risk IPSNs and tested by calibration curve. Results:Independent risk factors selected by regression analysis for solid pulmonary nodules were age, the level of CTC, pleural Indentation, lobulation, spiculation. The Nomogram prediction mode provided an area under ROC( AUC) of 0.888, 0.833 in internal validation set and external validation set, outperforming radiological features model(0.835, P=0.007; 0.804, P=0.043) Mayo clinical model(0.781, P=0.019; 0.726, P=0.033) and CTCs(0.699, P=0.002; 0.648, P=0.012) in both two validation sets, C-index of 0.888, 0.871 and corrected C-index of 0.853, 0.842 in both two validation sets . The AUC of the prediction model with internal validation set was 0.905 and 0.871 for nodule diameter of 5-20 mm and intermediate risk probability. Conclusion:The prediction model in this study has better diagnostic value and practicability, and is more effective in clinical diagnosis of diseases.

Objective:To explore the spatiotemporal distribution and macro-related factors of congenital syphilis in Guangdong province and provide suggestions and recommendations for prevention.Methods:Yearly reported cases of syphilis and some influencing factor data of Guangdong province were collected from 2005 to 2017. The spatiotemporal distribution of congenital syphilis was described. Meanwhile, the spatial panel data model was constructed to analyze the relationship between the incidence rates of congenital syphilis and related factors.Results:From 2005 to 2017, 13 361 cases of congenital syphilis were reported in Guangdong province. The number of congenital syphilis cases rose to its highest point during 2005-2011. A slow downward trend followed. The peaks of incidence were observed from August to December. The incidence of the non-Pearl River Delta region has experienced a process of rising first and then decreasing. The spatial panel data model results showed that congenital syphilis had significant positive spatial autocorrelation ( P<0.001). The incidence of primary and secondary syphilis in women ( β=0.822, P<0.001), gross domestic product per capita ( β=3.511, P<0.001), net migrate rate ( β=0.215, P=0.047) and maternal system management rate ?(β=0.017, P=0.021) were all positively correlated with the incidence rates of congenital syphilis. Registered population density ( β=-1.167, P<0.001) and prenatal examination rate ( β=-0.038, P=0.031) was negatively correlated with congenital syphilis. Conclusions:The incidence of congenital syphilis was spatially aggregated in Guangdong province from 2005 to 2017. The intensity of prevention might be strengthened in cities with developed economies and high net migration rates, which have high risks of congenital syphilis. Controlling the incidence of primary and secondary syphilis in women and increasing the prenatal examination rate for pregnant women appears effective prevention measures of congenital syphilis.

Objective:To investigate the hemodynamic changes of the main arteries and veins of the extremities and the heart in patients with hypertrophic scar secondary to extensive burns after pressure treatment, and to analyze the relevant mechanisms.Methods:A retrospective before-after self-control study was conducted. From January 2017 to February 2022, 37 patients with hypertrophic scar secondary to extensive burns who met the inclusion criteria were hospitalized in the Burn Rehabilitation Department of Guangdong Industrial Injury Rehabilitation Hospital, including 25 males and 12 females, aged 23-52 years. The patients were admitted to the hospital within 12 weeks after wound healing, and within one week after admission, rehabilitation therapists, occupational therapists, and tailors custom-made pressure products such as full-body pressure garment, pressure pants, vests, split finger gloves, split finger socks, hoods, and plastic collars, with the pressure at each part maintained at 2.67-4.00 kPa when wearing. Before the first treatment with pressure products (hereinafter referred to as before pressure treatment) and at 1 h of the first treatment with pressure products (hereinafter referred to as 1 h of pressure treatment), color Doppler ultrasonography was performed to check the pulse rate of the axillary artery, the lumen diameter, peak systolic velocity (PSV), and resistance index of the axillary artery and femoral artery on the left side, the lumen diameter, cross-sectional area, and average blood flow velocity of the axillary vein and femoral vein, and the mitral valve E peak, mitral valve A peak, tricuspid valve E peak, aortic valve PSV, and pulmonary valve PSV of the heart; an optical chromatographic skin detector was used to detect the red color, red pigment, and surface brightness of the scar on the back of the hand to reflect the filling and distribution of the scar microvessels. Data were statistically analyzed with paired sample t test. Results:Compared with those before pressure treatment, the PSV of the axillary artery of patients was significantly slowed down at 1 h of pressure treatment ( t=55.42, P<0.01); the average blood flow velocity of the axillary vein was significantly accelerated ( t=-60.50, P<0.01); the pulse rate, lumen diameter, and resistance index of the axillary artery, as well as the lumen diameter and cross-sectional area of the axillary vein did not change obviously ( P>0.05); the average blood flow velocity of the femoral vein was significantly accelerated ( t=-80.52, P<0.01); the lumen diameter, PSV, and resistance index of the femoral artery, as well as the lumen diameter and cross-sectional area of the femoral vein had no significant change ( P>0.05); the mitral valve E peak and mitral valve A peak of the heart decreased significantly (with t values of 10.71 and 21.96, respectively, P<0.01); the tricuspid valve E peak of the heart increased significantly ( t=7.57, P<0.01); the PSV of the aortic valve and pulmonary valve of the heart did not change obviously ( P>0.05). At 1 h of pressure treatment, the red color and red pigment values of the scar on the back of the hand of patients were 15.3±1.1 and 16.8±1.2, respectively, which were significantly lower than 24.5±1.3 and 23.8±1.2 before pressure treatment (with t values of 8.32 and 8.04, respectively, P<0.01). The brightness value of the scar surface on the back of the hand of patients at 1 h of pressure treatment was similar to that before pressure treatment ( P>0.05). Conclusions:After pressure treatment for the hypertrophic scar in patients secondary to extensive burn, the average blood flow velocity of the axillary vein and femoral vein in patients are obviously accelerated, the PSV of the axillary artery is significantly slowed down, the peak values of mitral valve E and mitral valve A of the heart are significantly decreased, and the tricuspid valve E peak is significantly increased. These hemodynamic changes may be related to the reduction of microvascular blood flow in the local area of scar after systemic pressure treatment.

Objective:To compare the therapeutic effects of partial nephrectomy (PN) and cryoablation (CA) in patients with stage cT 1N 0M 0 renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of patients with stage cT 1N 0M 0 RCC who underwent CA and PN treatment at The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University and Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital between March 2011 and December 2019. There were 50 cases in the CA group (36 from The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University and 14 from the Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital), and 1 323 cases in the PN group (all from The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University). PN included open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or robotic surgery performed under general anesthesia through the abdominal or retroperitoneal approach. CA included laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia and percutaneous treatment guided by CT or ultrasound under local anesthesia. Propensity score matching was performed based on baseline data of the patients to obtain balanced samples between the two groups using a 1∶2 nearest-neighbor matching method. After matching, comparisons were made between the two groups in terms of perioperative conditions, overall survival (OS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Results:After PSM, patient distributions were closely balanced in baseline data such as gender (male/female: 28/19 cases in CA group and 58/36 cases in PN group), age [66.0(53.0, 75.0) years vs. 59.5(50.0, 69.3) years], body mass index[ (24.1 ± 6.4) kg/m 2 vs. (24.1 ± 3.1) kg/m 2], Charlson comorbidity index [1(0, 2) vs. 1(0, 2)], history of malignant tumors [19.1% (9/47) vs. 17.0% (16/94)], preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) [85.2(65.5, 97.1) ml/(min·1.73m 2) vs. 87.0(73.4, 100.4) ml/(min·1.73m 2)], and R. E.N.A.L. score [6(5, 7) vs. 7(6, 8)] between CA(n=47) and PN(n=94) group. There were significant differences in operative time [97.5(81.2, 117.5) min vs. 145.0(110.2, 185.0) min, P<0.001], estimated blood loss [85.0(50.0, 100.0) ml vs. 100.0(75.0, 200.0)ml, P=0.021], length of hospital stay [3.0(2.0, 4.0) days vs. 7.6(5.0, 9.0) days, P<0.001] between the CA and the PN group. No significant differences were observed in the incidence of postoperative complications [4.3% (2/47) vs. 5.3% (5/94), P=0.784], the eGFR within one week after surgery [83.7(65.6, 106.6) ml/(min·1.73m 2) vs. 83.2(66.7, 97.7) ml/(min·1.73m 2), P=0.645], the median follow-up time [ 93 (67, 126) months vs. 85 (68, 139) months, P=0.955], the RFS rate[81.8% vs. 96.8%, P=0.074], or the OS rate [85.7% vs. 97.8%, P=0.190] between the CA and the PN group. Conclusions:For patients with cT 1N 0M 0 stage RCC, CA and PN demonstrate comparable oncologic treatment efficacy, while CA offering the advantages of shorter surgical time, shorter hospital stay, and less blood loss.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and clinical efficiency of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) via extraperitoneal PORT-free single incision approach.Methods:The data of 33 patients with prostate cancer underwent the extraperitoneal PORT-free single incision RARP from November 2020 to January 2021 in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital was retrospectively reviewed. The average age was 66.7 (58-78) years, the median PSA was 20.77 (2.89, 56.44) ng/m, and the mean Gleason score was 7.0 (6.0-9.0). The mean prostate volume was 48.4 (25.0-220.0) ml. Clinical stage: 32 cases was in cT 2a-2cN 0M 0, 1 case in cT 3aN 0M 0. 16 cases had a history of operation. All 33 operations were performed by the same operator. All operations were performed by extraperitoneal PORT-free single-incision approach. The surgical condition, postoperative complication, pathology, and follow-up results were observed. Results:In this study, 33 operations were successfully completed without conversion to open or additional single hole channel instruments. The average operation time was 61.3 (38.0-120.0) min, with the mean intraoperative bleeding volume of 72.2 (45.0-220.0) ml and the mean bladder neck urethral anastomosis time of 11.7 (8.5-15.7) min. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 7.9 (6.0-15.0) d, the mean postoperative indwelling time of urinary catheter was 6.8 (6.0-14.0) d, and the mean postoperative evacuation time was 1.0 (0.5-3.0) d. The average incision length was 5.2 (4.6-5.8) cm. There was no obvious complications. The postoperative pathological stage: 21 cases were in < pT 3a, 12 cases were in ≥ pT 3a, and 6 cases (18.8%) had positive resection margin. 29 cases (88.9%) acquired satisfactory urinary continence after operation, and the frequency of urinary pad use was ≤ 1 tablet/day. Conclusions:The extraperitoneal single-incision RARP surgical channel without PORT is safe and feasible with a satisfying cosmetic effect, which saves costs and requires less specific channel device. Simultaneously, the new approach has strong replicability, short-term tumor control and urinary control effect with rapid postoperative recovery. However, the sample size of this study is relatively small, which needs further research and demonstration
