Objective To evaluate the efficacy of epidural block combined with general anesthesia for elderly upper abdominal surgery Methods Thirty-four elderly patients ,scheduled for elective upper abdominal surgery, ASA grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ, were divided randomly into study group (groupⅠ) and control group (group Ⅱ) In both groups anesthesia was induced with introvenous diazepam 0 1mg?kg -1, fentanyl 5?g?kg -1, etomidate 3mg?kg -1, atracurium 0 2 mg?kg -1 and succinylcholine 2 mg?kg -1, and was maintained with intravenous infusion of propofol 4-10ml/h and/or inhalation of 1% isoflurane and intermittent bolus of atracurium In groupⅠ epidural block was performed before induction Hemodynamics was measured with impendence cardiography and electroencephagram were monitored and intraoperative awareness, postoperative restlessness and anesthetic dosage were recorded, also the concentrations of plasma vasopressin and blood glucose were determined at pre-operation, incision and the end of surgery Results In group Ⅰ MAP,CO,HR incresed slightly during intubation, incision and extubation, and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) decreased during operation , but SVR was increased abruptly after extubation in group Ⅱ There were unsignificant changes in thoracic fluid index(TFI), stroke volume(SV), ejection volume index(EVI), EVI/TFI ratio in both groups during whole procedures SEF was recovered more earlier in group Ⅰthan that of in group Ⅱ after extubation The vasopressin and glucose levels increased significantly after-extubation compared with those before operation in group Ⅱ Conclusions The epidural block combined with general anesthesia can be more effectvely and safely applied to elderly upper abdominal surgery

Objective To evaluate the role of chemokine CXCL12 in the spinal cord in the development of bone cancer pain (BCP) in rats and the relationship with microglial activation.Methods Thirty-two female Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 180-220 g,were equally randomized into 4 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),BCP group (group B),BCP + CXCL12 neutralizing antibody group (group BC),and BCP + IgG control antibody group (group BI).BCP was induced by injecting Walker 256 mammary gland cancer cell suspension (4 × 105 cells/ml) 5 μl into the bone marrow of the right tibia of rats anesthetized with chloral hydrate in B,BC and BI groups,while the equal volume of normal saline was injected instead in group S.On 12,13 and 14 days after injection of mammary gland cancer cells,CXCL12 neutralizing antibody 10 μg/15 μl was intrathecally injected once a day in group BC,while IgG control antibody 10 μg/15 μl was intrathecally injected once a day in group BI.Before injection of mammary gland cancer cells (T0) and on 3,5,7,10,12 and 14 days after injection of mammary gland cancer cells (T16),paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimulation (PWMT) was measured.The rats were then sacrificed and L4,5 segments of the spinal cord were removed for determination of Iba-1 (pan-microglial marker) expression in spinal dorsal horn using immunofluorescence after PWMT measurement at T6.Results Compared with S group,PMWT was significantly decreased at T2-6,and Iba-1 expression was up-regulated at T6 in B,BC and BI groups (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with B group,PMWT was significantly increased at T5,6 and Iba-1 expression was down-regulated at T6 in BC group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Chemokine CXCL12 in the spinal cord is involved in the development of BCP,and microglial activation is involved in the mechanism.

Background and purpose:The third generation of aromatase inhibitors (AI) in postmenopausal hormone receptor-positive patients is the routine treatments in endocrine therapy. The 500 mg fulvestrant showed clini-cal beneifts in patients with previous AI treatment. This study aimed to access the effcacy and safety of 500 mg fulves-trant in estrogen receptor (ER) positive postmenopausal patients who had previous AI treatments with locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data from 188 post-AI ER positive and (or) progesterone receptor (PR)-positive locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer patients treated with 500 mg fulvestrant in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from Jul. 2011 to Dec. 2015. Primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points were objective response rate (ORR), clinical beneift rate (CBR) and safety proifle.Results:After the median follow-up of 11.3 months, median PFS was 5.9 months (95%CI: 4.2-7.5), CBR was 40.0% and ORR was 3.4%. COX proportional hazards regression analysis indicated that PFS was correlated with the number of metastatic sites (HR=1.92, 95% CI: 1.2-2.9,P =0.002) and previous lines of chemotherapy (HR=1.52, 95%CI:1.0-2.1,P=0.022). Six patients stopped the treatment for intolerable adverse events.Conclusion:The treatment of 500 mg fulvestrant has a favorable effcacy and safety in treatment of post-AI ER positive postmenopausal patientswith metastatic breast cancer.

Objective To explore the correlation between different body mass indexes and incidence of digestive carcinoma.Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The data of 95 177 participants (75 909 males and 19 268 females) aged (51± 12)years with the range of 18-98 years who participated health examination at the Kailuan General Hospital,Kailuan Linxi Hospital,Kailuan Zhaogezhuang Hospital,Kailuan Tangjiazhuang Hospital,Kailuan Fan' gezhuang Hospital,Kailuan Jinggezhuang Hospital,Kailuan Lyujiatuo Hospital,Kailuan Linnancang Hospital,Kailuan Qianjiaying Hospital,Kailuan Majiagou Hospital and Kailuan Branch Hospital from July 2006 to December 2015 were collected.According to definition of body mass indexes from Chinese guideline for prevention and control of adult overweight and obesity,all the 95 177 participants were allocated into the 3 groups,including 37 660 with BMI＜24 kg/m2 in the normal BMI group,39 793 with with 24 kg/m2 ≤BMI＜ 28 kg/m2 in the overweight group and 17 724 with BMI≥28 kg/m2 in the obesity group.All participants received the same-order health examinations by the fixed team of doctors in 2006,2008,2010,2012 and 2014 at the same place.Epidemiological investigation,anthropometric parameters and biochemical indicators were collected.Observation indicators:(1) comparisons of clinical characteristics among the 3 groups;(2) incidence of digestive carcinoma in the participants;(3) risk factors analysis affecting new-onset digestive carcinoma;(4) comparisons of the fitting degree of BMI on new-onset digestive carcinoma model;(5) stratified analysis of risk factors affecting new-onset digestive carcinoma at different locations.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD,and comparisons among groups were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range),and comparisons among groups were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test.Count data were described as case number and percentage,and comparisons among groups were analyzed using the chi-square test.The cumulative incidence was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method,and comparisons of incidences among groups were done by the Log-rank test.The incidences of digestive carcinomain patients with different BMI were calculated by person-year incidence (incidence density).The hazard ratio (HR) and 95％ confidence interval (CI) of different BMI (continuous variable and classification variable) on new-onset digestive carcinoma were estimated by the COX proportional hazards regression models.Restrictive cubic spline regression was used to calculate the dose-response relation between the continuous variable and the risks of digestive carcinoma.The fitting degree of BMI on new-onset digestive carcinoma model was calculated by the likelihood ratio test and akaike information criterion (AIC).Results (1) Comparisons of clinical characteristics among the 3 groups:age,sex (male),systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,waistline,total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),C reactive protein,cases with smoking,drinking,physical exercise,positive HBsAg,high salt intake,malignant tumor in immediate family were (51± 13)yeas,28 607,(125±20) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),(80± 11) mmHg,(81±9) cm,(4.9± 1.1) mmol/L,1.05 mmol/L(range,0.75-1.49

group,showing statistically significant differences among groups (F=90.60,x2 =576.34,F=2 768.38,3 570.80,22 319.30,256.99,x2 =9 108.21,F=507.11,x2 =3 219.47,52.78,64.38,13.36,0.76,130.39,9.74,P＜0.05).(2) Incidence of digestive carcinoma in the participants:all the 95 177 participants were followed up for 845 085 person-year,1 215 were diagnosed as new-onset digestive carcinoma,with a total person-year incidence of 1.44 thousand person / year.Of 1 215 patients,413 had colorectal-anal cancer,306 had liver cancer,234 had gastric cancer,113 had esophageal cancer,91 had the pancreatic cancer,36 had gallbladder carcinoma or cholangiocarcinoma,25 had intestinal cancer.Three patients had intestinal cancer complicated with colorectal-anal cancer.The person-year incidence of digestive carcinoma was 1.46 thousand person / year,1.37 thousand person / year and 1.53 thousand person / year in the normal BMI group,overweight group and obesity group,respectively.The cumulative incidences of digestive carcinoma in the normal BMI,overweight,obesity group were respectively 11.8‰,10.1‰ and 12.1‰,showing a statistically significant difference among 3 groups (x2=6.13,P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the normal BMI group and obesity group (x2 =1.07,P＞0.05),and statistically significant differences between the overweight group and normal BMI group and obesity group,respectively (x2=3.90,4.10,P ＜ 0.05).(3) Risk factors analysis affecting new-onset digestive carcinoma.Results of COX proportional hazards regression models showed that continuous BMI was not related factor affecting new-onset digestive carcinoma after adjustment of age,gender,systolic pressure,TC,TG,FPG,smoking,drinking,physical exercise,positive HBsAg,high salt intake,malignant tumor in immediate family (HR=0.99,95％CI:0.98-1.01,P＞0.05).After adding BMI as classification variable in the COX model,risk of new-onset digestive carcinoma in the overweight group was reduced compared with normal BMI group (HR =0.88,0.88,95％CI:0.78-1.01,0.77-0.98,P＜0.05) and risk of new-onset digestive carcinoma in the obesity group was not affected (HR=1.03,1.04,95％CI:0.88-1.20,0.89-1.22,P＞0.05).Results of restrictive cubic spline regression showed a "U" shaped relationship between BMI and incidence risk of digestive carcinoma and the lowest incidence of digestive carcinoma in patients with BMI as 25-27 kg/m2.(4) Comparisons of the fitting degree of BMI on new-onset digestive carcinoma model:multivariate model was constructed after adding risk factors of age,gender,systolic pressure,TC,TG,FPG,smoking,drinking,physical exercise,positive HBsAg,high salt intake,malignant tumor in immediate family,and-2Log L and AIC were 27 175.05 and 27 203.05 for the multivariate model.Then BMI variable was added into the multivariate model,and the-2Log L and AIC of the multivariate model+BMI model were 27 169.53 and 27 201.53,respectively,with a statistically significant difference compared with normal BMI group (x2 =5.52,P＜0.05).(5) Stratified analysis of risk factors affecting new-onset digestive carcinoma at different locations.Results of COX proportional hazards regression models showed risks of new-onset digestive carcinoma in the overweight and obesity groups were reduced compared with normal BMI group (HR=0.57,0.42,95％CI:0.38-0.84,0.23-0.79,P＜0.05) in the esophageal cancer model.Risks of new-onset digestive carcinoma in the overweight group were reduced compared with normal BMI group (HR=0.72,95％CI:0.55-0.93,P＜0.05) and risk of new-onset digestive carcinoma in the obesity group was not affected (HR=1.10,95％CI:0.82-1.47,P＞0.05) in the liver cancer model.Conclusions Participants in the overweight group have the lowest incidence of digestive carcinoma,especially in the esophageal cancer and liver cancer model.Incidence of digestive carcinoma is the lowest with BMI as 25-27 kg/m2.

BACKGROUND: Cholecystectomy is a standard surgery for patients suffering from gallbladder diseases, while the causal effects of cholecystectomy on colorectal cancer (CRC) and other complications are still unknown. METHODS: We obtained genetic variants associated with cholecystectomy at a genome-wide significant level ( P value <5 × 10 -8 ) as instrumental variables (IVs) and performed Mendelian randomization (MR) to identify the complications of cholecystectomy. Furthermore, the cholelithiasis was also treated as the exposure to compare its causal effects to those of cholecystectomy, and multivariable MR analysis was carried out to judge whether the effect of cholecystectomy was independent of cholelithiasis. The study was reported based on Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology Using Mendelian Randomization guidelines. RESULTS: The selected IVs explained 1.76% variance of cholecystectomy. Our MR analysis suggested that cholecystectomy cannot elevate the risk of CRC (odds ratio [OR] =1.543, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.607-3.924). Also, it was not significant in either colon or rectum cancer. Intriguingly, cholecystectomy might decrease the risk of Crohn's disease (OR = 0.078, 95% CI: 0.016-0.368) and coronary heart disease (OR = 0.352, 95% CI: 0.164-0.756). However, it might increase the risk of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (OR = 7.573, 95% CI: 1.096-52.318). Cholelithiasis could increase the risk of CRC in the largest population (OR = 1.041, 95% CI: 1.010-1.073). The multivariable MR analysis suggested that genetic liability to cholelithiasis could increase the risk of CRC in the largest population (OR = 1.061, 95% CI: 1.002-1.125) after adjustment of cholecystectomy. CONCLUSIONS The study indicated that cholecystectomy might not increase the risk of CRC, but such a conclusion needs further proving by clinical equivalence. Additionally, it might increase the risk of IBS, which should be paid attention to in clinical practice.

Depression is one of the common and serious complications after stroke. Post-stroke depression (PSD) is associated with poor outcomes and increased mortality. The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association guidelines for the early management of patients with acute ischemic stroke recommend that pharmacological therapy should be administered to patients with PSD. This article reviews the pharmacological therapy for PSD.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of medical social worker supervision in Shanghai, for reference to promote the high-quality development of medical social work.Methods:From June to July 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the in-service medical social workers in all medical institutions with medical social work departments or posts in Shanghai. The questionnaire mainly included demographic information, current status of supervision implementation, and effectiveness of supervision. The data were analyzed descriptively with t test for comparison between groups and the Pearson test was for correlation analysis. Results:A total of 99 medical social workers were included in this study, 65 had received supervision, and medical institutions where 58 people located had established the supervision system. The average scores of actual and expected supervisory support received by medical social workers were 3.71 and 4.20 respectively, and the mean burnout level score was 32.91. The effect of establishing a supervision institutions on burnout was statistically significant ( P<0.05) and actual access to supervision support was negatively associated with burnout ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall situation of medical social work supervision in Shanghai was positive, but the demand for supervision was not fully satisfied; Supervision had a positive impact on reducing the burnout level. It is suggested that medical social work should further strengthen the cultivation of supervisory talents, promote the construction of supervisory systems, and improve the quality of supervision.

(HR=1.38,1.72,95％CI:1.15-1.66,1.44-2.07,P＜0.05);WHtR was associated with increased risk of incident GD (HR=1.34,1.71,95％CI:1.12-1.61,1.43-2.04,P＜0.05).(4) Comparisons of the fitting degree and predictive value of combined application of the different obesity measures on incident gallstone diseases model:multi-factor model of male participants was constructed after adding risk factors of age,TC,TG,diabetes,hypertension,smoking,drinking and physical exercise,and-2log L and AIC were 71 257 and 71 275.Then BMI,WC,WHtR,BMI+WC,BMI+WHtR,WC+WHtR and BMI+WC+ WHtR were respectively added into the multi-factor model,and-2log L and AIC were respectively 71 156 and 71 178,71 170 and 71 192,71 197 and 71 219,71 134 and 71 160,71 132 and 71 162,71 170 and 71 196,71 132 and 71 162.The minimal mode of AIC was multi-factor model+BMI+WC,with a difference of 123 compared with multi-factor model of-2log L,showing a statistically significant difference (x2 =123.00,P＜ 0.05).The multi-factor model of female participants was constructed after adding risk factors of age,TC,TG,diabetes,hypertension,smoking,drinking and physical exercise,and-2log L and AIC were 19 612 and 19 630.Then BMI,WC,WHtR,BMI+WC,BMI+WHtR,WC+WHtR and BMI+WC+WHtR were respectively added into the multi-factor model,and-2log L and AIC were respectively 19 568 and 19 590,19 575 and 19 597,19 574 and 19 596,19 558 and 19 584,19 557 and 19 583,19 571 and 19 597,19 556 and 19 586.The minimal mode of AIC was multi-factor model+BMI+WHtR,with a difference of 55 compared with multi-factor model of-2log L,showing a statistically significant difference (x2 =55.00,P＜0.05).Conclusions The increased BMI,WC and WHtR are independent risk factors for incident GD,no matter the gender.In males,the combination of BMI and WC can improved the predictive value of the incident GD,while in females,BMI and WHtR are the best combination for predicting incident GD.

【Objective】 To assess the effect of reconstruction kernels and window settings on the detection and measurement of pulmonary solid nodules and their measurement variability and repeatability. 【Methods】 We retrospectively recruited 49 patients with pulmonary solid nodules who had undergone low-dose CT scanning. Images were reconstructed using five reconstruction kernels： lung， bone， chest， detail and standard kernels. Two radiologists independently assessed the detection rate， diameter and CT number measurement of nodules under the five kernels and two window settings （lung-window and mediastinal-window）. Bland-Altman plots and relative average deviation （RAD） were used to evaluate the repeatability and variability of nodule diameter and CT number measurement. 【Results】 Seventy-seven nodules were detected on lung-window regardless of reconstruction kernels， while the detection rates （75.3%-98.7%） were significantly different （P<0.001） on the mediastinal-window， with the lung kernel significantly improving the detection of nodules with the diameter below 6 mm. In both display windows， the diameter and CT number measurements among reconstruction kernels were similar except for the lung kernel. The lung-window had better variability in the diameter measurement while mediastinal-window was better in CT number measurement among various reconstruction kernels. Although the variability in the diameter of the nodule on the lung-window and mediastinal-window was similar， there was a significant difference in the variability in the diameter measurement among different reconstruction kernels on the mediastinal-window （P=0.004）. No significant difference in the variability in the CT number measurement was found among the different reconstruction kernels （lung-window P=0.163； mediastinal-window P=0.201）， and the variability in the CT number measurements on the mediastinal-window was smaller than that of the lung-window. Both window displays had acceptable repeatability in diameter and CT number measurement； however， the mediastinal-window was better in CT number measurement. 【Conclusion】 The lung kernel can improve the detection of pulmonary solid nodules below 6 mm， but is limited in the CT number measurement. The lung-window display provides better variability in measuring nodule diameter， while mediastinal-window display is better at measuring CT numbers.
