Objective To summarize the experience of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) in communicating hydrocephalus and its complications. Methods The clinical features, operative techniques and outcome of 100 patients with hydrocephalus were analysed retrospectively. Results Ninety-five (95%) cases had a good result. Postoperative complications were found in 6(6%) cases including shunt apparatus blockage (4 cases) and shunt infection (2 cases). All the cases improved after taking the corresponding measures. Conclusion VPS is the most common shunt style for communicating hydrocephalus. The shunt apparatus blockage and infection are common postoperative complications. Intraoperative aseptic technique, the minimally invasive procedure, and the optimal placement of shunt tube may play an important role in improving the outcome of cerebrospinal fluid shunting surgery for communicating hydrocephalus.

Objective: To compare the clinical value of total gastrectomy and proximal gastrectomy in the treatment of gastric fundus carcinoma. Methods: 80 patients with gastric fundus cancer were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number method.The observation group was treated with total gastrectomy, and the control group was treated by proximal gastrectomy.The operation-related conditions, such as operation time, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative anal exhaust time of the two groups were compared.After surgery R0 resection rate and 2-year survival rate were analyzed. Results: The operative time in the observation group was (86.3±1.9)min, which was shorter than (102.3±2.6)min in the control group (t=31.424, P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss of the observation group was (180.5±15.0)mL, which was less than (230.0±25.0)mL of the control group (t=10.738, P<0.05). The anal exhaust time of the observation group was (41.5±2.1)h, which was shorter than (56.9±3.3)h of the control group (t=24.900, P<0.05). The percentage of pathologic R0 resection of the observation group was 32.5%(13/40), which was higher than 5.0%(2/40) of the control group (χ²=8.205, P<0.05). The 1-year survival rate and 2-year survival rate in the observation group were 92.5%, 67.5%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group(60.0%, 42.5%, χ²=4.943, 5.051, all P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with the proximal gastrectomy, the total gastrectomy in the treatment of gastric fundus carcinoma has shorter operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, quicker postoperative recovery, higher pathologic resection rate and survival rate.

Objective:To select human chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell line K562 as the experimental object, and use lentivirus mediated CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to construct a stable CML cell line K562/TCRP1-KO that knocks out the tongue cancer resistance related protein 1 (TCRP1) gene; and through functional tests such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and drug sensitivity, compare the phenotypic differences between K562/TCRP1-KO and control cells (K562/cas9-CTL), and preliminarily explore the possible mechanism of TCRP1 gene involvement in the pathogenesis of CML.Methods:The small guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting TCRP1 was designed at a specific location. After annealing, the oligonucleotide fragments were recombined with the linearized Cas9 expression vector, and the lentivirus packaging system was transfected into 293T cells. The purified virus was collected and infected with K562 cells. Positive polyclons were screened for puromycin pressure, and monoclonal K562/TCRP1-KO was further screened by limited dilution method. Stable cell lines were successfully knocked out by sanger sequencing and Western blot detection; Simultaneously, K562 cells transfected with lentiCRISPR vector were constructed as control cell lines (K562/cas9-CTL); Using cell counting method, cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) method, imatinib (IM) gradient dilution method, and flow cytometry cell proliferation, drug sensitivity, and apoptosis analysis were performed on K562/TCRP1-KO and K562/cas9-CTL, respectively.Results:The sgRNA-Cas9 recombinant plasmid vector for TCRP1 knockout was successfully constructed, and after transfection into 293T cells, TCRP1 knockout monoclonal cell lines were successfully screened using limited dilution method. Compared with K562/cas9-CTL cells, the proliferation ability of K562/TCRP1-KO cells was significantly reduced, IM drug sensitivity was significantly enhanced, and the process of cell apoptosis was significantly accelerated (all P<0.05). Conclusions:A CML cell line with TCRP1 knockout was successfully constructed using CRISPR/Cas9. TCRP1 may act as a cancer related gene to affect the proliferation, IM resistance, and apoptosis process of CML cells.

Objective To investigate the causes and prevention of conversion to laparotomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Clinical data of 30 out of 770 patients converting to laparotomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in Guangdong Chaozhou Central Hospital from February 2007 to January 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 13 males and 17 females with age ranging from 25 to 81 years old and a median age of 48 years old. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the ethical committee approval was received. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in the patients under endotracheal general anesthesia using the conventional 4-port approach. The causes of conversion to laparotomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and the incidence of postoperative complications of the patients were observed. Results The incidence of conversion to laparotomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy was 3.9%(30/770). The causes of conversion to laparotomy were adhesion at Calot's triangle (n=12), gallbladder bed bleeding (n=6), gallbladder artery bleeding (n=4), dense adhesion around the gallbladder with difficult dissecting (n=4), dissatisfactory treatment of the gallbladder stump (n=1), liver surface laceration (n=1), gallbladder carcinoma (n=1). All the converted laparotomies were completed at one time. No complication was observed in all patients after operation. Conclusions The common causes for conversion to laparotomy during laparoscopic
cholecystectomy were unclear dissection at Calot's triangle and around the gallbladder, gallbladder bed or gallbladder artery bleeding, dissatisfactory treatment of gallbladder stump, liver surface laceration, gallbladder cancer, etc. Improving the preoperative evaluation, intraoperative appropriate treatment of the Calot's triangle and gallbladder bed are the keys to prevent conversion to laparotomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic efficacy and prognosis of daratumumab combined with chemotherapy bridging to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) followed by daratumumab and lenalidomide maintenance treatment for primary plasma cell leukemia (PCL).Methods:The clinical data of a patient with primary PCL admitted to the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province in January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literatures were reviewed.Results:The patient was diagnosed with primary PCL and treated with daratumumab combined with BD (bortezomib + dexamethasone) for 1 course and BCDD (bortezomib + cyclophosphamide + liposomaldoxorubicin + dexamethasone) for two courses. The patient was treated with daratumumab combined with allo-HSCT after complete remission. The donor cells were successfully implanted and the chimerism rate of donor cells was 94.36% without acute graft-versus-host disease reaction. And then the patient received intermittent maintenance therapy of daratumumab combined with low dose lenalidomide after transplantation, and the current remission period after transplantation reached 4 months.Conclusions:Daratumumab combined with chemotherapy bridging to allo-HSCT followed by daratumumab and lenalidomide may improve the prognosis of primary PCL and prolong survival time.

PURPOSE: Duodenal stump leakage (DSL) is a potentially fatal complication that can occur after gastrectomy, but its underlying risk factors are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and management of DSL after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Relevant data were collected from several prospective databases to retrospectively analyze the data of GC patients who underwent Billroth II (B-II) or Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction after laparoscopic gastrectomy from 2 institutions (Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, and HwaMei Hospital, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences). The DSL risk factors were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis regression. RESULTS: A total of 810 patients were eligible for our analysis (426 with R-Y, 384 with B-II with Braun). Eleven patients had DSL (1.36%). Body mass index (BMI), elevated preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and unreinforced duodenal stump were the independent risk factors for DSL. DSL was diagnosed in 2–12 days, with a median of 8 days. Seven patients received conservative treatment, 3 patients received puncture treatment, and only 1 patient required reoperation. All patients recovered successfully after treatment. CONCLUSIONS The risk factors of DSL were BMI ≥24 kg/m², elevated preoperative CRP level, and unreinforced duodenal stump. Nonsurgical treatments for DSL are preferred.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of miRNA-181b (miR-181b) and prognostic factors of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), to predict target gene and main biological functions of miR-181b, and to evaluate the risk prediction ability of miR-181b in MDS.Methods:The samples of 131 bone marrow in MDS patients who followed the criteria of World Health Organization (WHO) classification (2016) from the Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between January 2019 and September 2019 were collected, and the clinical data including routine blood test results, related gene test results of blood diseases were retrospectively analyzed. The expression levels of miR-181b in all bone marrow samples were detected by using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). According to the international prognostic scoring system (IPSS), WHO classification-based prognostic scoring system (WPSS) and revised IPSS (IPSS-R), the patients were divided into different groups by the risk grade, and the expression differences of miR-181b in different risk groups were compared, and the correlation between the expressions of miR-181b and partial prognostic factors, including white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet (Plt), absolute neutrophil count(ANC), myeloblast and gene mutations was analyzed. Bioinformatics online tool TargetScan was used to make target gene prediction and the potential function of miR-181b.Results:The expression levels of miR-181b was increased with the increasing risk of IPSS, WPSS and IPSS-R, and there were statistically significant differences in miR-181b expression levels of different risk groups in different scoring systems (all P < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between the expression level of miR-181b and the scores of the three prognostic scoring systems (r was 0.437, 0.368, 0.327; all P = 0.001); miR-181b expression was positively correlated with the proportion of bone marrow myeloblasts ( r = 0.450, P < 0.01) and was negatively correlated with Plt ( r = -0.199, P = 0.024). And miR-18b was not associated with WBC, Hb, ANC, and related gene mutations of blood diseases (all P > 0.05). A total of 1 363 potential target genes of miR-181b were predicted by using bioinformatics, and biological processes of these target genes were mainly enriched in transcription regulation, RNA metabolism regulation. Among them, 22 target genes were related to the hematological malignancies, including RUNX1, ASXL2, NRAS, ATM and KRAS, which have been previously confirmed to be related to MDS. The relative expression level [the median ( P25, P75)] of miR-181b in patients who had those hematological malignancies related to miR-181b target gene mutation (32 cases) was 1.33(0.63, 1.60), which was higher than that in patients without mutation (99 cases) [0.85 (0.49, 1.38)], and the difference was statistically significant ( Z = 2.285, P = 0.022). Conclusions:miR-181b has a correlation with the risk grade of prognostic scoring systems in MDS, and it may be involved in the molecular biology pathogenesis of MDS.

Objective: To evaluate clinical characteristics and prognosis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) patients with thrombocytopenia in varied degrees. Methods: Clinical features and survival data of 1 305 Chinese patients with PMF were retrospectively analyzed. The prognostic value of thrombocytopenia in patients with PMF was evaluated. Results: 320 subjects (47%) presented severe thrombocytopenia (PLT<50×10⁹/L), 198 ones (15.2%) mild thrombocytopenia [PLT (50-99)×10⁹/L] and 787 ones (60.3%) without thrombocytopenia (PLT ≥ 100×10⁹/L). The more severe the thrombocytopenia, the higher the proportions of HGB<100 g/L, WBC<4×10⁹/L, circulating blasts ≥ 3%, abnormal karyotype and unfavourable cytogenetics (P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.004, P<0.001 and P<0.001, respectively) were observed in this cohort of patients. The more severe the thrombocytopenia, the lower the proportion of JAK2V617F positive (P<0.001) was also noticed. Platelet count was positively correlated with splenomegaly, HGB and WBC (P<0.001, correlation coefficients were 0.131, 0.445 and 0.156, respectively). Platelet count was negative correlated with constitutional symptoms and circulating blasts (P=0.009, P=0.045, respectively; correlation coefficients were -0.096 and -0.056, respectively). The median survival of patients with severe thrombocytopenia, mild thrombocytopenia and without thrombocytopenia were 32, 67 and 89 months, respectively (P<0.001). Multivariate analysis identified thrombocytopenia in varied degrees (HR=1.693, 95%CI 1.320-2.173, P<0.001) and Dynamic Internation Prognostic Scoring System(DIPSS) prognostic model (HR=2.051, 95%CI 1.511-2.784, P<0.001) as independent risk factors for survival. Conclusion PMF patients with severe thrombocytopenia frequently displayed anemia, leucopenia, circulating blasts and short survival, so active treatment measures should be taken especially in these patients.

Myopia is a significant global health issue,and its exact causes are still not fully understood,leaving a lack of effective and propaqable treatment options.The prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents in China remains high,posing challenges for prevention and control efforts.According to the"theory of imbalance of essence and tendon",an imbalance in the essential elements and tendons can impede the passage of eye essence and blood,resulting in delayed expansion and contraction of the eye meridians and tendons,leading to blurred vision.Modern research indicates that during the development of myopia,there are notable changes in the microstructure,activation range,and signaling of various brain regions,providing a biological basis for the"brain-eye"mechanism.Moreover,abnormal activity in the brain nucleus contributes to alterations in choroid blood flow and the impairment of eye muscle regulation,thereby accelerating the progression of myopia,this phenomenon represents the manifestation of the brain-eye imbalance.Consequently,strategies for myopia prevention and control should prioritize nourishing kidney essence,replenishing brain marrow,promoting liver and blood health,and softening the meridians.These measures aim to optimize the functioning of the brain and eyes,maintain the flexibility of eye tendons,enhance eye regulation,sustain the strength of eye tendons,and delay the advancement of eye axis growth and myopia.By enriching the scientific understanding of the appropriate application of traditional Chinese medicine techniques to prevent and control myopia through the brain,this research provides valuable insights for future explorations in this field.
