Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of early oral feeding in the treatment of mild acute pancreatitis (MAP).Methods:Data of 100 MAP patients from April 2015 to June 2018 admitted in Department of General Surgery in Shanxi Bethune Hospital were collected. According to the time of food intake through the mouth, the patients were divided into early oral feeding group (food intake started when the symptoms of abdominal pain and abdominal distension were alleviated with gastrointestinal functional recovery, but serum amylase and lipase did not decrease to a level below 2 times of normal upper limits) and traditional oral feeding group (food intake started when the symptoms of abdominal pain and abdominal distension were alleviated with gastrointestinal functional recovery, but serum amylase and lipase decreased to a level below 2 times of normal upper limits), with 50 cases in each group. The incidence of abdominal pain or bloating, serum amylase, CRP, organ dysfunction, morbidity and mortality, and median length of hospital stay after eating were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no statistically significant differences on gender, age, etiology, abdominal pain and distension, increased serum amylase, increased blood CRP, and number of organ dysfunction cases between two groups, and there were no deaths in either group. However, the feeding time and length of hospital stay in the early oral feeding group were significantly shorter than those in the traditional oral feeding group, and the differences were statistically significant [(3.00±0.18)d versus (4.84±0.27)d, (8.24±0.33) D versus (9.00±0.26)d, both P<0.05]. Conclusions:Early oral feeding in MAP patients did not aggravate the disease, but helps to correct the nutritional status of the patients, with higher safety and effectiveness.

Objective:To compare the clinical effectiveness of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC)+ laparoscopic choledocholithotomy (LCBDE)+ one-stage suture and primary choledocholithotomy with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)+ endoscopic duodenal sphincterotomy (EST)+ nasobiliary drainage (ENBD)+ LC in the treatment of choledocholithiasis complicated with gallbladder stones.Methods:A total of 200 patients with choledocholithiasis complicated with gallbladder stones admitted to the General Surgery Department of Shanxi Bethune Hospital from June 2015 to February 2021 were collected, and patients were divided into LC+ LCBDE+ one-stage suture (one-stage suture group, n=130) and ERCP+ EST+ ENBD+ LC (endoscopic surgery group, n=70) according to different treatments. The amount of intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative feeding time, postoperative incidence of pancreatitis, cholangitis and other complications (biliary leakage, abdominal bleeding, wound infection), hospitalization costs, postoperative hospital stay, etc were compared between two groups. Results:The postoperative incidence of pancreatitis in the one-stage suture group (0.7% vs 5.7%) and the hospitalization cost [(2.74±0.39) ten thousand yuan vs (3.86±0.63) ten thousand yuan] were significantly lower than those in the endoscopic surgery group. The operation time [(103.21±9.36) min vs (88.18±7.20)min] was significantly longer than that of the endoscopic surgery group, and postoperative feeding time [(3.3±0.3)d vs (2.2±0.8)d] were significantly later than the endoscopic surgery group ( P<0.05). The amount of intraoperative blood loss [(36.0±3.0)ml vs (37.3±2.7)ml], the incidence of postoperative cholangitis (1.5% vs 2.9%) and other complications [biliary leakage (2.3% vs 1.4%), abdominal bleeding (1.5% vs 4.3%), wound infection(0 vs 0)], postoperative hospital stay [(6.8±1.3)d vs (7.1)d] had no significant differences between the two group. Conclusions:The two minimally invasive methods for the treatment of choledocholithiasis complicated with gallbladder stones had good efficacy, but LC+ LCBDE+ one-stage suture can retain the sphincter function of Oddis, maintain the normal anatomy and physiology of the biliary tract, reduce the incidence of related complications, and contribute to the recovery of patients, with high safety, effectiveness and feasibility.

TCP family as plant specific transcription factor, plays an important role in different aspects of plant development. In order to screen TCP family members in tobacco, the homologous sequences of tobacco and Arabidopsis TCP family were identified by genome-wide homologous alignment. The physicochemical properties, phylogenetic relationships and cis-acting elements were analyzed by bioinformatics. The homologous genes of AtTCP3/AtTCP4 were screened, and RT-qPCR was used to detect the changes of gene expression upon 20% PEG6000 treatment. The results show that tobacco contains 63 TCP family members. Their amino acid sequence length ranged from 89 aa to 596 aa, and their protein hydropathicity grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY) ranged from -1.147 to 0.125. The isoelectric point (pI) ranges from 4.42 to 9.94, the number of introns is 0 to 3, and the subcellular location is all located in the nucleus. The results of conserved domain and phylogenetic relationship analysis showed that the tobacco TCP family can be divided into PCF, CIN and CYC/TB1 subfamilies, and each subfamily has a stable sequence. The results of cis-acting elements in gene promoter region showed that TCP family genes contain low docile acting elements (LTR) and a variety of stress and metabolic regulation related elements (MYB, MYC). Analysis of gene expression patterns showed that AtTCP3/AtTCP4 homologous genes (NtTCP6, NtTCP28, NtTCP30, NtTCP33, NtTCP42, NtTCP57, NtTCP63) accounted for 20% PEG6000 treatment significantly up-regulated/down-regulated expression, and NtTCP30 and NtTCP57 genes were selected as candidate genes in response to drought. The results of this study analyzed the TCP family in the tobacco genome and provided candidate genes for the study of drought-resistance gene function and variety breeding in tobacco.
