Objective To conduct a Meta?analysis to compare the safety and short?term efficacy of laparoscopic assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG)and open distal gastrectomy(ODG)in D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer. Methods The literatures from Janurary,1990 to August,2014 on the evaluation of safety and short?term efficacy of LADG versus ODG in D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer were collected. The quality of the enrolled articles was evaluated and the software Revman 5.2 was adopted to analyze the cura?tive effect. Results Totally 25 articles met the inclusion criteria,including 5 044 patients with treatment of D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer. There was no significant difference in the cleaning number of lymph nodes between LADG and ODG in patients undergoing D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer. The operation time was longer for LADG than ODG,but the postoperative evaluation in?dexes such as the intraoperative blood loss and the short?term efficacy of LADG were superior to ODG. Conclusion In the treatment of locally ad?vanced distal gastric cancer,there were differences in the safety and short?term efficacy between LADG and ODG,and surgeons should give concern to these differences in clinical practice to select appropriate surgical approaches. Further research is still needed to explore the long?term efficacy.

Hematogenous metastasis is common in lung cancer, and except for small cell lung cancer and melanoma, tumors with extensive metastasis seldom involve the prostate. The treatment of lung adenocarcinoma with prostate metastasis relies mainly on systemic chemotherapy with rigorous treatment of the primary lesions and metastatic palliative radiotherapy. Comprehensive treatment integrating traditional Chinese medicine may improve the quality of life of the patients.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and the severity of symptoms in children with vasovagal syncope (VVS).Methods:A prospective study was conducted. One hundred and twenty-two children diagnosed with VVS by head up tilt test in Department of Pediatric Cardiology and 130 healthy children without symptoms who underwent physical examination in the outpatient department of Child Healthcare Department of Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from December 2019 to May 2021 were selected and assigned to VVS group and control group, respectively. According to the diagnostic criteria of vitamin D deficiency, children in the VVS group were assigned to three subgroups: non-vitamin D deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and severe vitamin D deficiency. All children underwent detailed history taking, physical examination, and level determination of serum 25 (OH) D. Children in the VVS group were scored for orthostatic intolerance (OI) symptoms including 10 symptoms: syncope, dizziness, nausea, palpitation, headache, tremor, chest tightness, blurred vision, profuse perspiration, and attention deficit. The differences in the age, gender, body mass index, blood pressure, and serum 25 (OH) D levels between VVS group and control group, and the differences regarding the age, gender, body mass index, blood pressure, serum 25 (OH) D levels and symptom scores among the three VVS subgroups were compared. Comparisons were performed using independent sample t test, ANOVA analysis, Chi square test and rank sum test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum 25 (OH) D levels and OI symptom scores in children with VVS. Results:The serum 25 (OH) D levels were significantly lower in the VVS group than those in the control group ((31±11) vs. (46±10) nmol/L, t=10.89, P<0.001). Vitamin D deficiency was more frequent in the VVS group (73.0% (89/122) vs. 24.6% (32/130), χ2=58.91, P<0.001). There were significant differences among the severe vitamin D deficiency subgroup, vitamin D deficiency subgroup, and non-vitamin D deficiency subgroup regarding the serum 25 (OH) D levels ((9.8±0.4) vs. (26.6±6.5) vs. (45.8±5.9) nmol/L, F=142.77, P<0.001) and the OI symptom scores ((14±1) vs. (10±2) vs. (7±2) scores, F=44.97, P<0.001). The scores of syncope, nausea, profuse perspiration, blurred vision and dizziness among the severe vitamin D deficiency subgroup, vitamin D deficiency subgroup, and non-vitamin D deficiency subgroup were statistically significant ( H=9.01, 7.52, 12.11, 7.07 and 9.54, respectively, all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the serum 25 (OH) D levels were negatively correlated with OI symptom scores in children with VVS ( r=-0.769, P<0.001). Conclusions:VVS children have significant vitamin D deficiency. The severity of symptoms increases with decreasing of vitamin D level. Syncope, nausea, and profuse perspiration are more likely to occur in children with severe vitamin D deficiency, and dizziness and blurred vision are more likely to occur in children with vitamin D deficiency.

Since December 2019, an outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei Province, which has caused wide public concern all through the world. Although artificial intelligence is a priority development fields in recent years, there is no study on the application and effect of AI in this epidemic. Based on the application of AI scenarios in typical cases, the research analyzes the practice and effectiveness of AI in epidemic surveillance, clinical diagnose, public health management and other related scientific research. Besides, combined with the current situation of development, some suggestions are put forward in order to better play the role of artificial intelligence in the public health emergency system in China.
