Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of wound infiltration with rop-ivacaine for postoperative analgesia as a fast-track approach in patients undergoing open hepatectomy. Methods Fifty-two patients with hepatocellular carcinoma,32 males,20 females,aged 18-70 years, scheduled for selective open hepatectomy were enrolled in this trible-blind,randomized,controlled study.Patients were randomized to receive 0.75% ropivacaine (group ROP)or 0.9% normal saline (group NS)wound infiltration before incision closures at a total volume of 10 ml.Numerical rating score (NRS)at 6,12,24 and 48 hours after surgery,length of hospital stay,time to bowel recovery,ambulation and drainage tube extraction were recorded.Side effects, including post-operative liver and renal function,allergic reaction,nausea and vomiting,and wound infection,were also assessed.Results NRS was significantly decreased at 6 [(3.85±1.29)scores vs.(5.30±1.76) scores],12 [(3.38±0.85)scores vs.(5.69 ±1.38)scores]and 24 hours [(3.69 ±0.74)scores vs. (4.42±1.13)scores]after surgery in group ROP compared to group NS (P <0.05).Group ROP al-so showed shorter postoperative hospital stays [(1 7.92±1.97)d vs.(1 9.53±2.42)d],earlier anal exsufflation [(48.07±7.49)h vs.(53.42±10.38)h]and ambulation [(2.34±0.62)d vs.(2.80± 0.84)d](P <0.05).However,there were no significant differences between the two groups in re-garding post-operative liver and renal function.The incidence of nausea and vomiting was 1 5% (4 ca-ses)and 1 9%(5 cases)in group NS and group ROP,respectively.No allergic reactions occurred in either group.Conclusion The present study shows that ropivacaine wound infiltration could effectively release post-operative pain,and could be a safe and effective fast-track approach for patients undergoing open hepatectomy.

Objective To explore the mechanisms of trafficking and signaling of serotonin 1A receptor(5-HT_(1A))and its spatiotemporal distribution in living cells.Methods The mouse 5-HT_(1A) gene amplified by RT-PCR was recombined into pEGFP-N1 vector and the EGFP coding sequence was located in-frame at the C-terminal end of the 5-HT_(1A) receptor.The 5-HT_(1A)-EGFP was transfected into neuron-like PC12 cells as well as HEK293.The transfected cells were visualized using confocal microscopy,the mobility of 5-HT_(1A)-EGFP was monitored by live measurements and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching.Results The 5-HT_(1A) gene was identitical with the published gene sequence NM_008308.4 and a 5-HT_(1A)-EGFP fusion construct was created.After stable transfection of the plasimd into a PC12 cell line and analysis with a confocal laser scanning microscopy,the EGFP-tagged 5-HT_(1A) was predominantly associated with the plasma membrane,but some intracellular vesicles in the perinuclear region also contained the fusion protein.The predominant localization of 5-HT_(1A)-EGFP at the plasma membrane was confirmed in transiently transfected HEK293 cells.Bleached fluorescence was partialy recovered in 100 seconds,indicating that the 5-HT_(1A)-EGFP was mobiled on the membrane.Conclusion Spatiotemporal distribution and mobility of 5-HT_(1A) tagged with EGFP can be monitored in the 5-HT_(1A)-EGFP stable PC12 cell line,which could be an excellent neuron-like experimental cell model for research of 5-HT_(1A) trafficking and signaling.

The rare complications of cirrhosis, such as chylous ascites, hepatic hydrothorax, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, portopulmonary hypertension, cirrhotic nervous system damage, etc., have not yet been fully understood and/or promptly and effectively diagnosed and treated by clinicians. Therefore, this article aims to introduce the above-mentioned rare complications, clinical features, treatment and prognosis of liver cirrhosis in an attempt to improve the clinicians' understanding and level of diagnosis and treatment.

OBJECTIVETo introduce the use of a self-made specimen protective sleeve in laparoscopic resection for upper or mid rectal cancer and sigmoid colon cancer with transrectal specimen extraction surgery and the improvement of implantation method, so as to avoid and reduce bacterial contamination and tumor cell dissemination in abdominal cavity.

METHODSDuring June 2015 and May 2017, 48 cases of high located rectal or sigmoid colon cancer were operated laparoscopically with natural orifices specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) using a self-made specimen protecting sleeve. Operation indication: (1) Rectum and sigmoid colon cancer with the distance of more than 6 cm from tumor inferior margin to dentate line. (2) The maximum diameter of intestine together with mesangial and tumor <7 cm by intraoperative judgment. (3) No anal and distal rectal surgery, no anorectal stenosis or lack of expansion capacity caused by trauma. (4) No ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease or radiation proctitis. After transecting the rectum, the specimen protective sleeve was inserted through the right lower 12 mm main Trocar (This sleeve was tailored from the laparoscopic protective sleeve produced by China 3L Corporation, which was intercepted with 25-35 cm from one end of the sleeve according to the length of distal rectal retention. One end was ligated and the other was open with a ligature band. About 5 ml paraffin oil was used to rinse and lubricate during the operation). The rectal stump retained 7-8 cm in abdominal cavity. The transanal ligation part of the protective sleeve was cut off, then the stapler nail seat was inserted and specimen was pull out through the sleeve and rectum.

RESULTSThere were 30 males and 18 females. The average age was (64.5±14.1) years, the BMI was (25.4±3.9) kg/m, the tumor diameter was (3.3±1.1) cm, the maximum diameter of specimen was (5.4±1.5) cm and the length of specimen was (18.6±4.3) cm. Among these 48 cases, specimens of 36 patients were pulled out through inside of the sleeve easily, while specimens of 12 patients were quite difficult with resistance. Of 12 cases, 7 needed the help of transverse forceps, 4 needed to make 1 cm incision in pull-through bowel and insert a suction to decrease the volume of large specimens with gathering of gas and fluid, and 1 received small abdominal incision to remove specimen and perform intestinal reconstruction due to big specimen (the diameter of tumor and mesentery was 7.5 cm). Specimen tears of 6 patients didn't result in dissemination thanks to the specimen protecting sleeve. The operation time was (113.2±76.1) min, the bleeding amount was (38.5±17.3) ml, the time to first oral intake was (47.9±4.4) h, and the postoperative hospitalization length was (8.5±1.7) d. Anastomotic leakage occurred in 1 case (2.1%). No intra-abdominal and trocar infection, and obstruction were found.

CONCLUSIONThe use of protective sleeve and the improvement of the method of intraperitoneal implantation can effectively reduce the abdominal contamination during the specimen extraction. It can be applied to big specimens as well.

Objective To investigate the effects of changing the pancreatic stent number based on the last procedure on the prognosis of children and adolescents with recurrent chronic pancreatitis. Methods Data of 11 pediatric patients ( 3-16 years old) with chronic pancreatitis, undergoing ERCP for at least twice were retrospectively analyzed. Based on whether the number of stents changed in the second procedure, patients were divided into the control group( more than once and no change in the number) ,and the changing group ( more than once and change in the stent number in the second procedure ) . The hospitalization and surgery percentage and number of hospitalizations due to abdominal pain in follow-up period were compared to study whether number change of stents was efficient to cure pediatric patients with chronic pancreatitis. Results Eleven pediatric patients undergoing at least 2 ERCP procedures were recruited into our group. The hospitalization percentages were 140％( n=7) and 33. 3％( n=2) in the control group( n=5) and the changing group ( n=6) respectively( P<0. 001) . The number of hospitalizations due to abdominal pain was 1. 5 and 0. 8 in the control group and the changing group respectively ( P<0. 001) . The percentage of patient hospitalizations due to abdominal pain significantly reduced in the changing group ( P=0. 003) . Conclusion Increase in pancreatic stent number in the second procedure in pediatric patients can decrease hospital admissions related to the pancreatitis.

Objective:To identify the factors associated with successful transrectal specimen extraction after laparoscopic rectal cancer resection.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. Clinical data of rectal cancer patients who did or did not successfully undergo transrectal specimen extraction in Shanghai East Hospital between January 2017 and December 2017 were retrieved through the rectal cancer database of Shanghai East Hospital. Case inclusion criteria: (1) tumor size ≤7 cm by pelvic MRI; (2) body mass index (BMI)≤ 30 kg/m 2; (3) no history of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy; (4) no anal stenosis. Clinical data including age, gender, BMI, tumor obstruction, distance from tumor to anal verge, history of abdominal operation, maximal diameter of tumor and width of mesorectum in the anteroposterior dimension measured by pelvic MRI, etc. were collected. The χ 2 test was used to perform univariate analysis. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors affecting transrectal specimen extraction. Results:A total of 208 patients were included in the analysis. Of 208 patients, 132 were men and 76 were women; mean age was (63±11) years old and median tumor size was 3.8 (IQR, 3.0 to 5.0) cm. Sixty-six (31.7%) patients completed transrectal specimen extraction successfully. Univariate analysis showed that patients who completed transrectal specimen extraction were more likely to have a lower BMI (χ 2=7.420, P=0.006), be free from malignant obstruction (χ 2=8.972, P=0.003), have a shorter distance from tumor to the anal verge (<5.0 cm) (χ 2=14.960, P<0.001), a smaller tumor size (≤5.0 cm) (χ 2=18.495, P<0.001) and a thinner mesorectum in the anteroposterior dimension (≤6.0 cm) (χ 2=34.612, P<0.001) than those who failed to perform transrectal specimen extraction. Gender, age or history of abdominal operation were not associated with the successful extraction (all P>0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that BMI ≤25.0 kg/m 2 (OR=2.32, 95% CI: 1.06 to 5.06, P=0.034), free from malignant obstruction (OR=3.01, 95% CI: 1.82 to 6.69, P<0.001), the distance from tumor to the anal verge <5.0 cm (OR=3.73, 95% CI: 1.22 to 11.43, P=0.021), tumor size ≤ 5.0 cm (OR=4.43, 95% CI: 1.39 to 14.09, P=0.012), and the anteroposterior width of mesorectum ≤ 6.0 cm (OR=4.30, 95% CI: 2.02 to 9.18, P<0.001) were independent protective factors for successful transrectal specimen extraction. Conclusion:Preoperative assessment of BMI, malignant obstruction, distance from tumor to the anal verge, tumor size and anteroposterior width of mesorectum is beneficial to choose appropriate patients with rectal cancer to undergo transrectal specimen extraction.

Objective To analyze the epidemic characteristics of pneumoconiosis in Jingmen City from 2011 to 2022, and to provide theoretical basis for formulating the occupational disease prevention plan of the ^“14th Five-Year Plan^” in Jingmen City. Methods The data of pneumoconiosis cases in Jingmen City from 2011 to 2022 were collected from the Occupational Disease and Health Hazard Factors Monitoring Information System, and the information of disease classification, enterprise economic type, scale distribution, regional distribution, job distribution, dust exposure years and so on was statistically analyzed. Results A total of 260 cases of pneumoconiosis were reported in Jingmen City from 2011 to 2022, with an average of 13.81 years of exposure to dust, including 164 cases of coal workers' pneumoconiosis, 90 cases of silicosis and 6 cases of other pneumoconiosis. The cases were mainly distributed in Dongbao District with 160 cases (61.54%), Zhongxiang City with 72 cases (27.69%), and Duodao District with 18 cases (6.92%). The difference was statistically significant（χ²=217.846，P<0.05）. The cases were mainly distributed in private enterprises (76.54%, 199 cases). The enterprise sizes were mainly medium-sized (28.46%, 74 cases) and small (61.15%, 159 cases) enterprises, and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=46.025，P<0.05). Conclusion Coal workers' pneumoconiosis and silicosis are the main types of occupational pneumoconiosis in Jingmen area, which will become the key prevention and control targets in Jingmen City for a long time and should be paid attention to. The cases are mainly concentrated in joint-stock, private economic type enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises, which should be monitored intensively.

Objective:To explore the value of ex- vivo porcine stomach model for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) training for international trainees. Methods:Fifteen international students received ESD training and learning for twenty days. Firstly, students learned basic theory of ESD and completed a questionnaire. Then they were randomized to receive endoscopic training either on the vitro animal (group A) or on training experience (group B) of the clinical observation. At last, one case was assessed by an experienced endoscopist. The total and step-by-step operating time, complete resection, size of specimen and complications were recorded. All students completed the questionnaire once again. SPSS 20.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:There was significant difference in total ESD operation time between group A and group B ( P<0.05). There were significant differences between the two groups on cutting time and dissection time, but there was no difference on marking time, injection time and operating speed. There was only one case of block resection and perforation in each group. For group A, their mastery and clinic confidence of ESD had been obviously increased after the animal training course. Compared with the operation before the training in group A, it was found that the total time and cutting time of the ESD after the training were also significantly improved. Conclusion:Theory combined with endoscopic training on vitro animal model can make the trainees familiar with the basic theory and master the operational skills, which is helpful and valuable for them to perform ESD in further clinic practice.
