Background and purpose: With the application of laparoscopy in the liver surgery increasingly widely used, the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic liver resection is gaining recognition gradually. This study aimed to explore the laparoscopic liver resection for the tumor and the feasibility of open liver tumor resection and clinical curative effect. Methods: We retrospectively analysed the clinical data from 37 cases of laparoscopic hepatectomy and 74 patients with open liver resection from Mar. 2015 to Mar. 2016. Measurement data by covariance analysis were obtained, and comparison between groups were made using independent sample with Wilcoxon rank test and statistical value of Z. We collected data including operation time, intra-operative blood loss, post-operative recovery time of gastrointestinal tract, surgical drainage tube after extubation time, length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, hospitalization expenses and other clinical data. Laparoscopic group had 20 males and 17 female aged 18 to 76 (median age 55). Open group had 42 males and 32 females aged 26 to 74 (median age 54). The hepatectomy included ultrasonic knife + unipolar electric coagulation, combined with laparoscopic incision suture. Surgery procedures included 13 cases of local excision in laparoscopic group and 24 cases of liver segment or lobe anatomical resection. Open group had 33 cases of local excision and 41 cases of liver segment or lobe anatomical resection. Results: The average duration of laparoscopic hepatectomy was 149 min (40-204 min). The average duration of open hepatectomy was 142 min (45-190 min). The average intra-operative blood loss was 220 mL (30-570 mL) in laparoscopic group and 360 mL (90-970 mL) in open group. The average length of hospital stay was 4.9 d (3-6 d) in laparoscopic group and 6.8 d (5-9 d) in open group. Gastrointestinal average recovery time was 1.1 days in laparoscopic group and 2.3 days in open group. The average hospitalization expenses were 38760 yuan in laparoscopic group and 39145 yuan in open group. Conclusion:Laparoscopic hepatectomy is a safe, effective and minimally invasive surgery, can be safely used in local, liver segment and half liver resection, worthy of promotion.

To investigate the expression of microRNA-34a (miR-34a) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in Xinjiang Uygur and Han nationalities and its prognostic significance. Our data showed that miR-34a expression in Uygur and Han CLL patients was significantly higher than that in their respective healthy controls, while miR-34a levels were similar between Uygur and Han patients. By comparing with known prognostic factors, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed that miR-34a was a good predictive factor for the prognosis of CLL (demarcation value was 3.567 6). Survival analysis was further performed according to miR-34a expression level, that low expression of miR-34a translated into poor prognosis.

ObjectiveTo summarize and compare the main traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes of Delta and Omicron variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) carriers to provide references for the syndrome evolution and syndrome differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 infection. MethodThe TCM medical records of imported and local cases of infection with Delta and Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2 in Changsha since September 23, 2021 to March 27, 2022 were collected, including 18 Delta variant cases and 36 Omicron variant cases. Their TCM diagnosis information and TCM pathogenesis were analyzed and compared. ResultThe common manifestations in Delta variant cases were cough, fever, chest distress/shortness of breath, sore muscles, nausea, dry mouth, dry or sore throat, thick and greasy tongue coating, and rapid and slippery pulse. The predominant pathogenesis was dampness-heat in the upper-energizer and heat stagnation in the lesser Yang combined with dampness. The occurrence of chest distress/shortness of breath, greasy tongue coating, slippery pulse, and the proportion of dampness-heat in the upper-energizer syndrome were higher in Delta variant cases than in Omicron variant cases (P<0.05). The common manifestations in Omicron variant cases were itchy and sore throat, nasal congestion, running nose, fever, mild aversion to cold, dry mouth, dizziness, slightly reddish tongue with thin white coating, and rapid or wiry pulse. The predominant pathogenesis was wind-dryness invading defensive exterior, and heat stagnation in the lesser Yang. The occurrence of white-coated tongue and the proportion of wind-dryness invading defensive exterior syndrome were higher in Omicron variant cases than in Delta variant cases (P<0.05). ConclusionThere are certain differences in TCM syndromes and the corresponding pathogenesis between Delta variant and Omicron variant cases in Changsha, Hunan. The Delta variant of SARS-COV-2 tends to induce dampness-heat syndrome, whereas Omicron variant infection tends to elicit wind-dampness syndrome, which is expected to provide a reference for the pathogenesis evolution of SARS-COV-2 infection.

Objective To explore the influence of different hardness surfaces on gait coordination in patients with functional ankle instability(FAI). Methods Qualisys Infrared Optical Motion Capture System was used to test the coordination and variability of 15 FAI patients on the right side at Nanjing Normal University from May to July,2023.The gait cycle data were collect-ed and intercepted,and coupling angle(CA)and standard deviation of coupling angle(SDCA)were calculated by Matlab to compare the differences on different hardness surfaces. Results On coronal plane,CA of hip-ankle joint was higher on the hard surface than on the soft surface during middle stage of support and early stage of swing,and lower on its rest stages and the gait stages of hip-knee joint and knee-ankle joint than on the soft surface(P<0.01).On sagittal plane,CA of hip-ankle joint and knee-ankle joint was smaller on the hard surface than on the soft surface during middle and late stages of support,and larger than on the soft surface during their rest stages,and the gait stages of hip-knee joint(P<0.01).On horizontal plane,CA of hip-knee joint was lower on the hard surface than on the soft surface during the late stage of support,and higher than on the soft surface during its early stage of swing and bearing stage of hip-ankle joint(P<0.01).Compared with the hard surface,SDCA was smaller on the soft surface than on the hard surface only in the hip-ankle on the sagittal plane and during bearing stage of hip-knee joint,and was greater than on the hard surface for the rest(P<0.01). Conclusion FAI patients showed more distal dominance on soft surface than on hard surface during most gait cycle on 3D plane,i.e.,advantage of ankle varus and plantar flexion increased,and advantage of hip joint decreased;the coordination variability was generally higher on soft surface than on hard surface.These findings suggested that FAI patients may increase the risk of recurrent lateral ankle sprain walking on soft surface.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the early adverse effect index caused by short-term-repeated exposure to cadmium chloride via oral perfusion in male rats. METHODS: Forty specific pathogen free healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group,low-,middle-and high-dose groups. The rats of low-,middle-and high-dose groups were treated with cadmium chloride 1. 11,3. 51 and 11. 06 mg/kg body weight,respectively,and the control group rats was treated with the same volume of ultra pure water,by gavage once a day for four weeks. During the experimental duration,the body weights of the rats were taken and activity status of the rats was observed. After the experiment,the rats were executed,and some indicators of main organ coefficients,blood routine,serum biochemical indexes,urine related effect indexes and bone mineral density were measured. RESULTS: During the experimental duration,rats of high-dose group showed the symptoms such as decreased activity,increase repose,move slowly and skin duller. Comparing with control group at the same time points,the body masses of the high-dose group of the 1-4 weeks were lower(P < 0. 05).After the experiment,comparing with control group,the weights of kidney and spleen of the high-dose group decreased significantly(P < 0. 05) and the liver coefficient increased significantly(P < 0. 05). The cadmium levels in blood,urine,liver,kidney and thighbone of the middle-and high-dose groups were higher than those of the control group(P < 0. 05).The red blood cell counts of the low-and middle-dose groups increased significantly(P < 0. 05). The level of hemoglobin of middle-and high-dose groups decreased(P < 0. 05),and the activity of alanine aminotransferase in high-dose groups increased significantly(P < 0. 05). Comparing with control group,the levels of urine α_1-microglobulin and urine β_2-microglobulin in urine of the middle-dose group were decreased(P < 0. 05) and the level of urine urea nitrogen increased(P < 0. 05),but there were no significantly changes of the above three indexes in the high-dose group(P >0. 05). There were no significant difference of the levels of N-acetyl-beta-D glucosaminidase in urine between control and treatment groups(P > 0. 05). Simultaneously,in high-dose group,the weight of thighbone,the bone calcium content and bone mineral density reduced significantly than those of the control group(P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: Skeletal effects can be used as an early toxic effect sensitive index of short-term-repeated experiments exposure to cadmium chloride via oral perfusion in male rats.
