Objective To explore the function of ERCC2/XPD polymorphisms in the repair of DNA damage induced by UVC. Methods Plas?mids stably expressing ERCC2/XPD rs13181 AA(Lys751)and ERCC2/XPD rs13181 CC(Gln751)were transfected into Chinese hamster ovary cells,and the stable ERCC2 transfected cell lines were obtained. MTT assay was used to compare the inhibitory rates of the transfected cells treated with UVC at different irradiation intensity. The DNA damage repair ability of the transfected cells treated with UVC for 1,3,6 and 24 h was detected by modified comet assay. Results Compared with UV5ERCC2(CC),UV5ERCC2(CC) was more sensitive to UVC with decreased cell viability. DNA damage level of UV5ERCC2(CC) cells was more serious than UV5ERCC2(CC). Conclusion DNA repair capacity of ERCC2/XPD rs13181A allelic is lower than its wild?type,suggesting that ERCC2/XPDpolymorphisms play a critical role in UVC?induced DNA damage repair.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of reflectance confocal microscopy(RCM) in the diagnosis of several common diseases manifesting as papules in children, including lichen nitidus, verruca planae, lichen striatus, milium, molluscum contagiosum and lichen pilaris. Methods A total of 579 children clinically characterized by papules were recruited into this study. RCM was used to observe lesions and perilesional normal skin. The RCM features of 6 diseases manifesting as papules were analyzed and compared. Results Based on RCM images, 236 patients were diagnosed with lichen nitidus, 70 with verruca planae, 123 with lichen striatus, 40 with milium, 53 with molluscum contagiosum and 57 with lichen pilaris. All the 6 diseases had typical RCM features. Concretely speaking, RCM images of lichen nitidus lesions showed infiltration of dense inflammatory cells and melanophages in enlarged dermal papillae. In RCM images of verruca planae lesions, cells in the granular and spinous layers were arranged in concentric circles, giving a rose cluster?like appearance. RCM images of lichen striatus lesions revealed focal swelling of stratum spinosum, absent or local liquifaction degeneration of basal cells, and clustering of a moderate number of inflammatory cells in the superficial dermis. In RCM images of milium lesions, well?circumscribed round or oval structures containing highly but nonuniformly refractive materials could be seen in the dermis. RCM images of molluscum contagiosum lesions showed intact cystoid structures containing highly refractive molluscum bodies. Lowly to moderately refractive cutin ? like materials were observed along with the dilation of hair follicle infundibula in RCM images of lichen pilaris lesions. In RCM images, the 6 diseases were distinguished mainly based on structural features(patterns and refractivity)of skin lesions shown by continuous vertical scanning. Conclusion RCM is of great value to the diagnosis of diseases manifesting as papules in children.

Objective:
To explore the clinical application indications, filter selection and filter removal techniques of inferior vena cava filter.
Methods:
Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 108 cases of inferior vena cava filter implantation in the Department of Vascular Surgery, People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2018 to February 2019 was performed. One hundred and eight patients with inferior vena cava filter were eligible for filter placement, including 50 males and 58 females; the average age was 59 years, and the age ranged from 23 to 90 years. Different types of inferior vena cava filters were selected according to the patient's condition, the location of the thrombus, the type of surgery and the prognosis of the disease. In this study, lower extremity vascular ultrasound was performed by the outpatient in 2 weeks after the filter placement, 1 month after the operation, 2 months after the operation, and 3 months after the operation. The inferior vena cava filter was recovered by a catcher. Loop technology, Loop and biopsy forceps were used for patients with difficult filter recovery. After removal of the filter, the angiography confirmed the integrity of the inferior vena cava wall. Observe whether the filter was completed, deformed, broken and whether there was thrombus in the filter.
Results:
The removal of inferior vena cava filter was performed in patients with no free floating thrombus or fresh thrombus in popliteal, femoral, iliac and inferior vena cava confirmed by ultrasound. In this group, 108 patients with inferior vena cava filter implantation included 11 patients anticoagulant contraindications, 11 patients with pulmonary embolism, 5 patients with floating thrombosis in iliac vein, femoral vein or inferior vena cava, 35 patients with acute deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity received catheter-directed thrombolysis or percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy, 46 patients with abdominal, pelvic or lower extremity surgery for acute deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity and high risk factors of pulmonary embolism. One hundred and three patients received retrievable inferior vena cava filters and 5 patients received temporary inferior vena cava filters. Ninety-two patients were followed up successfully in this group. In 74 patients, the filter trap was recovered using a catcher, and the inferior vena cava filter of 12 patients were successfully removed by Loop technology and Loop with biopsy forceps.The success rate of the filter removal was 93.5%. After removal of the filter, angiography of inferior vena cava showed smooth wall, blood flow patency and no extravasation of contrast agent. The removal filters have normal shape, no fracture and no deformation.
Conclusions
Operators should strictly observe the indication of inferior vena cava filter placement, master a variety of filter removal methods to improve the success rate of filter removal and maximize the benefit of patients with inferior vena cava filter implantation.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of anesthesia factor on postoperative outcome in patients undergoing thoracoscopy through a comparison between different analgesic methods.Methods:One hundred patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-24.0 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective single-hole thoracoscopic surgery, were divided into 4 groups ( n=25 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), erector spinae plane block (ESPB) group (group E), thoracic paravertebral nerve block (TPVB) group (group T), and ESPB combined with TPVB group (ET group). Before induction of anesthesia, ultrasound-guided nerve block was performed, and ESPB, TPVB, and ESPB combined with TPVB were performed on the affected side in E, T and ET groups, respectively.The mixture of 0.5% ropivacaine 20 ml and dexamethasone 5 mg was injected in T and E groups, and 0.5% ropivacaine 5 ml was injected into the paravertebral space, the needle tip was retracted to touch the transverse bone, and then another 15 ml was injected in group ET.The block plane was detected by acupuncture at 15 min after completion of the nerve block, and successful nerve block was defined as the block plane reaching T 4-6 in the areas innervated by the spinal nerve.Both groups received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA) and were admitted to postanesthesia care unit after surgery.Flurbiprofen axetil 50 mg was intravenously injected as rescue analgesic when the visual analog scale(VAS)score was more than 3.Venous blood samples were collected immediately before nerve block operation (T 0), 30 min after operation (T 1), 30 min after tracheal extubation (T 2), and 24 h after operation (T 3) for determination of the concentrations of plasma cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The VAS score for cough was recorded at 15 min after tracheal extubation (T 4) and 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after surgery (T 5-8). The patients were followed up at 48 h after surgery.The pressing times of PCIA, consumption of flurbiprofen, and development of nausea and vomiting were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, VAS scores for cough were significantly decreased at T 4-6, the pressing times of PCIA was reduced, and the consumption of flurbiprofen, and incidence of nausea and vomiting and plasma Cor and ACTH concentrations at T 1-2 were decreased in the other three groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group E, VAS scores for cough at T 4, pressing times of PCIA and consumption of flurbiprofen were significantly decreased in T and ET groups ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in each index between ET group and T group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:TPVB performs better than ESPB and TPVB combined with ESPB in improving the postoperative outcome of patients undergoing thoracoscopy.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of the medical insurance balance of hospitalization expenses for gastric cancer surgery patients under DRG payment, for reference for promoting the reform of DRG payment in public hospitals and controlling hospitalization expenses reasonably.Methods:The gastric cancer patients enrolled in the gastroenterology department of a tertiary comprehensive hospital from January to July 2022 were selected as the research subjects. The indicators such as patient age, medical insurance balance, hospitalization expenses and their composition were extracted from the hospital information management system and the medical insurance settlement system a certain city. Descriptive analysis was conducted for all data, and stepwise multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of patients′ medical insurance balance. Monte Carlo simulation method was used to simulate different combination scenarios of various influencing factors to analyze the probability of medical insurance balance.Results:A total of 205 patients were contained, including 117 in the medical insurance balance group and 88 in the loss group. The difference in hospitalization expenses and medical insurance balance between the two groups of patients were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The intervention of medical insurance specialists, correct DRG enrollment, parenteral nutrition preparation costs, anti infective drug costs, examination costs, and consumables costs were the influencing factors of patient medical insurance balance ( P<0.05). Through Monte Carlo simulation verification, patients with different cost parenteral nutrition preparations, or different anti infective drug schemes had the higher probability of medical insurance balance in the scenario where the medical insurance commissioner intervenes and the DRG enrollment was correct. Conclusions:The hospital adopted interventions from medical insurance specialists to ensure the correct DRG enrollment of patients, accurate use of parenteral nutrition and anti infective drugs, and reasonable control the cost of examinations and consumables, which could increase the probability of medical insurance balance for gastric cancer surgery patients. In the future, hospitals should further promote the procurement of drug consumables in bulk, reduce unnecessary examinations, develop standardized perioperative nutritional interventions and anti infection treatment pathways, ensure the accuracy of DRG enrollment, optimize clinical diagnosis and treatment pathways to improve the efficiency of medical insurance fund utilization and provide high-quality medical services for patients.

Objective:To explore a comparative study of arterial end-to-end and end-to-side anastomosis in superficial branch of the superficial circumflex iliac artery(SCIA) perforator flap transfer.Methods:Between November, 2019 and December, 2020, 21 patients with the soft tissue defects in the limbs were repaired with superficial branch of the SCIA perforator flaps. The size of flaps ranged from 3.5 cm×7.0 cm to 9.0 cm×18.0 cm. According to the upper or anterior wall of the main artery in the recipient area having branches that matched the flap artery, 2 groups were established. End-to-end group: 10 cases were anastomosed end-to-end between the flap artery and branch of the main artery in the recipient area; End-to-side group: 11 cases were anastomosed end-to-side between the flap artery and side mouth of the main artery in the recipient area. The vein of flap was anastomosed end-to-end with the accompanying vein to the main artery in the recipient area. All of the donor sites were sutured directly. All patients were followed-up for 6-12 months and the survival of the perforator flap, the appearance and function of the perforator flap and the donor site were observed. All data of the 2 groups were conducted statistical analyzed. P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results:All 10 flaps in end-to-end group survived successfully. In end-to-side group, 2 cases had venous crisis in 11 cases of flaps,the exploration revealed venous thrombosis, and the arterial end-to-side anastomosis had smooth blood flow had embolism. One flap survived after re-anastomosis of the vein, and 1 flap was changed to a pedicled abdominal flap during the re-venous crisis. The postoperative follow-up was 6 months to 1 year. The appearance and function of the flap and donor site were satisfactory, without difference between the 2 groups. The SCIA superficial branch artery caliber, recipient artery branch or lateral caliber was not statistically different between the 2 groups( P>0.05). The time of anastomosis for end-to-end group was[(16.70±1.34) min]. It was lower than that of anastomosed end-to-side group[(23.73±1.68) min]. The difference was statistically significant( P<0.01). Conclusion:In superficial branch of the SCIA perforator flap transfer, if the upper or anterior wall of the main artery in the recipient area has a branch that matches the flap artery, the flap artery should first be anastomosed with its end. Because it dose not required to make a side port, and makes the operation more convenient with a short anastomosis time; Otherwise, perform end-to-side anastomosis with the main artery of the recipient site.
