Objective To study the diagnosis,prophylaxis and treatment of splenic artery steal syndrome (SASS),and to evaluate their clinical outcomes in recipients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).Methods 1 385 consecutive patients who suffered from liver cirrhosis and had undergone OLT in our hospital between Jan,2004 and Dec,2013 were studied.We hypothesized that patients were at risk of SASS when the calibre of the splenic artery (SA) was 1.5 times larger than the common hepatic artery (CHA) together with splenomegaly (318 patients,23.0％).Further surveillance with Doppler ultrasound (DUS) was carried out immediately at CHA reperfusion during operation.When a sluggish peak systolic velocity (PSV) ＜ 30 cm/s or no flow was detected in a patent hepatic artery,prophylactic SA banding (SAB) was considered.127 patients (39.9％) who fulfilled these criteria were recruited to the intervention group to undergo SAB.Eventually,patients who developed SASS were treated with coil-embolization of the SA (SAE),re-anastomosis of the HA to aorta (HTA),ligation of SA (SAL) or splenectomy (SPT),or retransplantation.Results SAB resulted in immediately increase in the mean PSV of the HA from 19.3 ±5.5 cm/s to 45.9 ± 9.1 cm/s (P ＜ 0.05),and resistance index (RI) of the HA rehabilitated to reasonable levels (0.5 ～0.8),without any HA or biliary related complication in all the 127 patients.17 patients in the control group were identified to have SASS (8.9％).5 of these 17 patients required emergency treatment by coil-embolization.Of the remaining 12 patients,11 who developed hepatic artery thrombosis secondary to SASS required to undergo embolectomy or thrombolysis followed by HTA (4 patients),SAL (3 patients),SPT (5 patients).Three of these patients finally required re-OLT.All these patients obtained acceptable results by these salvage strategies,except 2 out of the 12 patients who died from liver failure.Conclusions SASS is an important but it is often and under-diagnosed cause of graft ischemia after OLT.Prophylactic SAB should be introduced to patients at risk of developing SASS in order to obtain satisfactory results.Coil-embolization of SA shortly after diagnosis is an effective salvage intervention to prevent further progression to develop devastating consequences.

Objective:To study the effect of changing operator on the detection rate of colorectal polyps during surgery in patients who had been diagnosed with colorectal polyps by electronic colonoscopy for the first time.Methods:From June 2016 to June 2019, the patients who had been diagnosed with colorectal polyps by electronic colonoscopy for the first time, they were performed by electronic colonoscopy for the second time after 3 months by 5 doctors in the No.946 Hospital of PLA who had engaged in endoscopic work longer and been with rich experience. The results of the electronic colonoscopy were recorded and compared.Results:Fived hundred and seventy-six patients were found have colorectal polyps through electronic colonoscopy for the first time. Among them, 423 patients came to the hospital within 3 months and were eligibled for the research. The detection rate of newly detected polyps by the same operator was 22.7%(96/423), after changing the operator, the detection rate became 24.3% (103/423), but there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). The detection rates of newly detected polyps were respectively 20.8% (220/1 059) and 25.9%(294/1 133), the proportion of newly detected polyps with diameter ≤ 5 mm was respectively 73.6%(162/220) and 82.0%(241/294), the ratio of flat polyps to total newly detected polyps was 71.8%(158/220) and 79.9%(235/294), and there were significant differences ( P<0.05). The proportion of polyps in sigmoid colon was respectively 35.0% (77/220) and 39.1%(115/294), and there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:For patients with colorectal polyps detected by electronic colonoscopy, the operator should be changed during surgery, so that more missed polyps can be detected during surgery, especially flat polyps with diameter ≤ 5 mm. The operator should be changed to improve the detection rate and reduce the probability of missed diagnosis.

Objective To explore the mediation role of emotional labor in the relationship between workplace ostracism and emotional exhaustion, aiming to provide practical implications to manage workplace ostracism. Methods Using time-lagged survey, a total of 370 valid responses were collected at two time points from the nurses in a general hospital in Chengdu, including the data of demographics, workplace ostracism, emotional labor and emotional exhaustion. Structural equation model (SEM) was employed to test the relationships. Results The means of key variables were: workplace ostracism 1.30 (1.00, 1.73)，surface acting 1.50 (1.00,2.25), deep acting 3.00 (1.33, 4.00), and emotional exhaustion 3.53 (2.60, 4.20). There was a significant positive relationship between workplace ostracism and surface acting (P<0.01), just as well as the relationship with deep acting and emotional exhaustion (P<0.01). Surface acting led to emotional exhaustion of nurses (P<0.01) and mediated the positive relationship between workplace ostracism and emotional exhaustion. Deep acting was not significantly related to emotional exhaustion (P>0.05). SEM analysis demonstrated an acceptable and reasonable model fit. Conclusions The surveyed nurses reported a medium and low level of perceived workplace ostracism and emotional labor, but a high level of emotional exhaustion. Workplace ostracism has a positive effect on nurses' emotional exhaustion via surface acting. Hospital administration should take measure to prevent and intervene in workplace ostracism, provide organizational and supervisory supports to nurses, and particularly enhance nurse's emotional management skills and encourage use of deep acting strategy to minimize the detrimental effects of workplace ostracism.
