0.05)between left AF(238,36.62%)and right AF(220,33.85%).More HIZs(446,68.62%)were located in inferior AF than that of middle or superior AF.The motion segments from L3、4 to L5S1 were the region that the HIZ occurred frequently and it could present in single segment or multi-segment.In anterior AF,HIZs often occurred at L2、3 and/or L3、4 discs.Whereas,they usually developed at L4、5 and/or L5S1 in posterior AF. Conclusion The incidence rate of HIZ in lumbar disc is higher.Posterior and inferior AF of discs and lower motive segments have more risk of HIZs.It could develop in single motive segment or multi-segments at one time.

Objective To evaluate the security of catheter-based renal denervation by two dimensional speckle tracking imaging.Methods 20 dogs was ablated,whose indicies of heart and blood pressure were detected 6 weeks later.Standard 2D images were acquired in the 2-,3-and 4-apical views as well as the parasternal short-axis views at the level of the mitral valve and papillary muscles.The time to peak-systolic strain of each segment in the level of the mitral valve and papillary muscles,the standard deviation of the time to peak-systolic strain,the peak strain of the longitudinal 12-segment were recorded.Parameters were compared among the before and after ablation.Results Compared with before ablation of renal sympathetic nerve,the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure didn't reduced significantly after the ablation of renal sympathetic nerve (P ＞ 0.05),while there were no significant difference in the peak strain of the longitudinal 12-segment,the dyssychrony parameters and the size of the heart cavity before and after ablation(P ＞0.05).Conclusions The pressure had no change after the ablation of renal sympathetic nerve while without harmful effect on the the size of the heart cavity,the function of the myocardial contraction and the dyssychrony parameters.The ablation of renal sympathetic nerve can' t lower the normal blood pressure and be safe for heart at the same time.

Objective To evaluate the synchrony of heart after catheter-based renal denervation by two dimensional speckle tracking imaging.Methods Each renal sympathetic nerve of 20 dogs were ablated,and the index of heart and blood pressure were detected 6 weeks later.Standard 2D images were acquired in the 2-,3-and 4-apical views.The times from QRS onset to peak-systolic strain rate and to peak-diastolic strain rate were measured for the longitudinal 16-segments in Qlab software,and the standard deviation were calculated.The time to peak longitudinal strain rate and time to peak contraction strain rate of left atrium were measured for each segment contained septal,latera,anterior and posterior in the level of the basal segments,middle sections and apical in Qlab software,and the standard deviation were calculated.Parameters were compared among the before and after of the ablation.Results The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure had no changes after the ablation of renal sympathetic nerve (P ＞ 0.05).The R-R showed a increasing trend,but no significant differences(P ＞0.05).The peak time of LV systolic and diastolic strain rate had a extended trendency too,but no differences(P ＞0.05),and standard deviations of the peak times had no significant differences(P ＞0.05).The peak time of LA longitudinal strain rate and contraction strain rate had a extended trendency,but no obvious change (P ＞0.05),and the standard deviations of the peak times had no significant differences (P ＞0.05).The size of the heart cavity had no differences(P ＞0.05).Conclusions The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure have no changes after the ablation of renal sympathetic nerve,and the synchrony parameters of LV and LA have no significant differences,demonstrate that the synchrony of heart is not affected by the renal sympathetic denervation.

Objective:To explore the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic local pancreatectomy in the treatment of cystic neoplasms of pancreatic head.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted of data on patients with pancreatic head cystic neoplasms who received laparoscopic surgery at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from February 2017 to October 2022. A total of 83 patients were enrolled, including 30 males and 53 females, aged (43.7±16.7) years old. All patients were divided into an observation group ( n=55) and a control group ( n=28) based on different surgical procedures. The observation group underwent laparoscopic local pancreatectomy (laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection or laparoscopic enucleation), while the control group underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD). The age, gender, body mass index, postoperative hospital stay, proportion of discharged patients with drainage tubes, surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion rate, and fistula were compared between two groups. Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery, and there were no cases of conversion to laparotomy or perioperative deaths. There was no statistically significant difference in age, male proportion, body mass index, postoperative hospital stay, and discharge rate with drainage tube between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05). The observation group had a surgical time of (194.4±114.0) min, intraoperative bleeding of 50 (50, 200) ml, and intraoperative blood transfusion rate of 5.5%(3/55), all of which were better than that of the control group, (380.0±71.6) min, 200 (100, 400) ml, and 32.1%(9/28), with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Among them, the B/C fistula rates in the laparoscopic local pancreatectomy group and LPD group were 12.7%(7/55) and 10.7%(3/28) ( P=0.790), respectively. Conclusion:Compared with traditional LPD, laparoscopic local pancreatectomy can shorten surgical time, reduce intraoperative bleeding, and lower intraoperative blood transfusion rate. And there is no significant disadvantage in the B or C grade fistula.

Objective:To evaluate the preoperative localization value of endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle tattooing (EUS-FNT) for laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy in pancreatic lesions with a maximum diameter ≤3 cm.Methods:From November 2017 to October 2022, at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, the data of patients with pancreatic lesions ≤3 cm who underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Eight patients who underwent EUS-FNT assisted laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy were included in the fine needle tattooing (FNT) combined laparoscopic group. And 14 patients who underwent simple laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy were taken as the simple laparoscopic group. The success rate and complications of EUS-FNT were observed. The differences in operation time, surgery-related complications and complete resection rate of lesions between the two groups were compared. Mann-Whitney U test and descriptive analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:In the FNT combined laparoscopic group, the lesions of 4 cases were located in the pancreatic body and 4 cases in the pancreatic tail. In the simple laparoscopic group, the lesions of 4 cases were located in the pancreatic body and 10 cases in the pancreatic tail. There was a significant difference in lesion size between the two groups (14.5 mm (10.8 mm, 16.5 mm) vs. 27.0 mm (23.5 mm, 30.0 mm), Z=-3.09, P=0.001). In the FNT combined laparoscopic group, EUS-FNT was successfully performed in all 8 patients. The average time of laparoscopy after EUS-FNT was (98.4±8.8) min. The marks were clearly visible under the laparoscopic field of view, and no complications such as abdominal hemorrhage and hematoma were observed. Laparoscopic pancreaticocaudectomy was performed in 5 cases and pancreaticocaudectomy plus splenectomy in 3 cases. The median operation time was 192.5 min (176.3 min, 203.8 min). The amount of intraoperative bleeding was large in 2 patients and blood transfusion was needed. The lesions were one-time completely resected in all 8 patients. The postoperative pathology were 6 cases of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm, 1 case of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), and 1 case of solid pseudopapilloma. In the simple laparoscopic group, laparoscopic pancreaticocaudectomy was performed in 2 cases and pancreaticocaudectomy plus splenectomy in 12 cases. The median operation time was 202.5 min (192.8 min, 235.0 min), which was longer than that of FNT combined laparoscopic group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The amount of intraoperative bleeding was large in 2 patients and blood transfusion was needed. In 1 patient with pancreatic body lesions, no lesion was found in the specimen examination after the first pancreatectomy, and the lesions were completely resected after the second partial pancreatectomy. Active abdominal hemorrhage occurred in 1 patient on the second day after operation, and underwent interventional embolization for hemostasis. Two weeks after surgery, 1 patient was found to have a encapsulated fluid with a long diameter of 6 cm around the pancreas by computed tomography re-examination 2 weeks after surgery. The postoperative pathology were 5 cases of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm, 2 cases of IPMN, 1 case of solid pseudopapilloma, 1 case of pancreatic cyst with glandular low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, 1 case of ectopic spleen, and 4 cases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Conclusion:EUS-FNT can effectively localize small pancreatic lesions before laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, shorten the operation time and improve the complete resection rate under laparoscopy.

Objective:To explore the change trend of patients′ recognition of the medical reform effect and medical staff′s occupation and its relationship with medical experience, since the implementation of the China Healthcare Improvement Initiative(CHII), so as to provide reference for exploring the breakthrough point of consolidating the reform effect.Methods:Four indicators of the third-party assessment of patients were selected, which were " I think the medical reform has benefited patients" , " I think the doctor-patient relationship is improving in the past three years" , " I think medical personnel deserve social respect and recognition" , and " I am willing to let my children join the medical profession" . Descriptive and trend analysis were carried out on the survey results, and correlation analysis was carried out between the survey results and patients′ medical experience.Results:Compared with the baseline evaluation results(76.9% and 69.9%for outpatients, 87.3% and 85.6%for inpatients), the patients′ recognition of the sense of medical reform and the improvement of doctor-patient relationship in the fifth evaluation(86.2% and 89.1%for outpatients, 91.4% and 92.6%for inpatients)were significantly improved. The proportion of patients who thought the medical staff was worthy of respect and willing to let their children work in the hospital in the fifth evaluation(97.4%, 79.1%for outpatients, 98.7%, 85.1%for inpatients)were higher than the baseline evaluation results(92.3%, 71.0%for outpatients, 98.1%, 81.6%for inpatients). The above indicators were positively correlated with the patient′s medical experience.Conclusions:Since the implementation of CHII, patients′ recognition of the sense of medical reform and the improvement of doctor-patient relationship has been continuously improved, and patients′ respect and recognition of professional identity of medical personnel is at a high level and continues to improve. Improving medical experience has a positive effect on the improvement of patients′ sense of medical reform.

Objective:To investigate the patient satisfaction at tertiary cancer hospitals in China, and explore its determinants.Methods:Based on the fifth third-party evaluation of China Healthcare Improvement Initiative, an inpatient satisfaction survey was conducted from January 2021 to March 2021 in 33 tertiary cancer hospitals in China. Inpatient satisfaction was analyzed, and Chi-square test and binary multivariate logistic regression were run, using the level of overall inpatient satisfaction as a dependent variable.Results:A total of 5 417 inpatients in tertiary cancer hospitals was recruited with 49.8% men. The inpatient at the age of 35-59 accounted for 56.0%, and they were 52.8±13.9 years old. The level of overall inpatient satisfaction was 98.90%. The inpatient satisfaction rates of meal service, waiting time for admission and psychological counseling service provided by hospital were relatively poor, which were 78.75%, 92.40% and 94.11%, respectively. The regression showed that level of overall inpatient satisfaction in the central and western regions(compared with eastern area), with urban and rural residents basic medical insurance or other type(compared with urban employee basic medical insurance), of breast cancer patients(compared with other disease), with unsured postoperative metastasis(compared with non-postoperative metastasis), with low self-rated health score(compared with the score of between 81 and 100)was lower.Conclusions:The inpatients in tertiary cancer hospitals in China is highly satisfied with the care provided. In the future, more attention should be paid to the dimension of lower patient satisfaction, such as diet and psychological counseling.

Objective:To study the optional timing of removal of abdominal drains after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) based on the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) concept versus conventional practice.Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent LPD at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University and the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Of 127 patients included in this study, there were 74 males and 53 females, with age of (58.68±8.65) years old. Then patients were divided into two groups according to the timing of removal of abdominal drains based on the ERAS concept (the ERAS group, n=61), and conventional clinical practice (the control group, n=66). The abdominal drains in the ERAS group was removed based on 2 criteria: (1) no discharge of bile, gastrointestinal contents, pus, and active bleeding in the abdominal drains on the first day after operation; (2) amylase in abdominal drainage fluid was less than 5 000 U/L on the first day after operation. The abdominal drains in the control group was removed after meeting the following criteria: (1) no discharge of bile, gastrointestinal contents, pus, and active bleeding in the abdominal drains; (2) from the first day after operation, amylase levels in the drain fluid was measured once everyday, and the concentrations of the amylase were less than 5 000 U/L for 2 consecutive days; (3) the volume of drainage was less than 100 ml/24 h. The postoperative recovery and other clinical data of the two groups were also compared. Results:LPD was successfully performed in the 2 groups, and there was no perioperative death. The timing of removal of abdominal drains [1 vs. 7(5, 9) d], the first passage of flatus [3(2, 4) vs. 3(3, 5) d] and the postoperative hospital stay [14(10, 18) vs. 17(14, 22) d] in the ERAS group were significantly shorter than the control group, and the hospitalization cost was also significantly less [10.33(9.64, 11.52) vs. 11.22(10.38, 13.58) wan yuan] (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The ERAS concept in guiding the timing of removal of abdominal drains after LPD was safe and feasible. The enhanced recovery after surgery concept is worthy of further promotion and application.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ubiquitin binding enzyme 2T (UBE2T) on the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma and unravel its possible mechanism.Methods:A total of 45 patients pathologically diagnosed with different stages of lung adenocarcinoma and treated with radiotherapy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from March, 2019 to December, 2021 were enrolled, and the efficacy was evaluated according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST1.1). All patients were divided into radiosensitive group ( n=25) and radioresistant group ( n=20). Radiosensitive group was complete remission (CR)+partial remission (PR), and radioresistant group was stable disease (SD) + progression disease (PD). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to calculate the score based on the staining intensity and the number of positive cells. Chi-square test was combined to analyze the correlation between the expression level of UBE2T in paraffin specimens of lung adenocarcinoma patients and the radiosensitivity of patients. Lentivirus UBE2T-interfered (UBE2Tsh) A549 and UBE2T-overexpressed SPC-A-1 lung adenocarcinoma cells and their respective controls were constructed for irradiation and colony formation assay. The survivor fraction curve was fitted by single-hit multi-target model. The DNA double-strand break (DSB) marker γH2AX foci were detected by immunofluorescence (IF). The expression levels of UBE2T, γH 2AX and Rad51 proteins were detected by Western blot. Cell cycle and apoptosis rate of A549 were determined by flow cytometry. Binary variables were statistically analyzed by Fisher's exact probability method and measurement data were assessed by t-test. Results:High-expression level of UBE2T was correlated with the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma patients ( P<0.05). UBE2Tsh improved the radiosensitivity of A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells, and the sensitizing enhancement ratio (SER) was 1.795. UBE2T overexpression decreased the radiosensitivity of SPC-A-1 lung adenocarcinoma cells with an SER of 0.293. γH2AX foci number per cell were significantly increased in UBE2Tsh A549 cells after irradiation ( P<0.01) . Compared with the control group, the expression level of γH2AX protein was up-regulated ( P<0.01)and that of Rad51 protein was down-regulated in UBE2Tsh A549 cells after radiation ( P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the expression level of γH2AX protein was down-regulated ( P<0.05) and that of Rad51 protein was up-regulated in UBE2T overexpressed SPC-A-1 cells ( P<0.001). The proportion of UBE2Tsh A549 cells in G 2 phase was decreased ( P<0.01) and cell apoptosis was increased ( P<0.001). Conclusions:UBE2T might promote the radioresistance of lung adenocarcinoma cells by enhancing DNA DSB repair induced by radiotherapy, inducing cell cycle G 2 phase arrest, and reducing cell apoptosis.

Objective:To study the safety and therapeutic effects of the modified pancreaticogastrostomy based on the concept of " Hong's one-stitch method" in digestive tract reconstruction in pancreatic surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 44 patients who underwent modified pancreaticogastresstomy at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 2022 to October 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 23 males and 21 females , with a median age of 54 years old (range 18 to 70 years old). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative condition and complications were analysed.Results:All the 44 patients completed the operation successfully. There were 29 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, 11 patients laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection, 1 patient laparoscopic central pancreatectomy, and 3 patients open pancreaticoduodenectomy. The time required for the pancreaticogastrostomy was (15.4±1.0) min in laparoscopic surgery, and (9.1±0.5) min in open surgery. There were 2 patients who developed grade A pancreatic fistula (4.55%, 2/44) and 7 patients gastric emptying disorder (15.91%, 7/44). There were no grade B or C pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, gastrointestinal anastomotic fistula, abdominal infection, postoperative bleeding and perioperative death.Conclusion:The modified pancreaticogastrostomy for digestive tract reconstruction in pancreatic surgery was safe and reliable. It effectively reduced the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula and improved prognosis of patients.
