Objective To explore the conditions and methods for cryopreservation and proliferation of mouse spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). Methods SSCs were isolated from six-day-old Kunming mouse using two-step enzymatic digestion and Percoll discontinuous density gradient centrifugation. Cells were frozen with different freezing medium and cooling rate. After thaw, they were cultured in mimimum essential medium alpha (MEMα) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) and 100μg/L glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). The survived and proliferating SSCs were examined by WST-8 colorimetric assay. Alkaline phosphatase andreverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were performed to confirm if the cultured 96 hours germ cells were still stem cells. Results The best method to cryopreserve SSCs is using cryoprotector containing 10% dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO), 10% FCS, 0.07mol/L sucrose and 1℃/min cooling rate, and the viability of cells in this method is more than 84%;Although the cell viability in non-programmed freezing method is less than that in the programmed freezing method, it is a simple and effective cropreservation method for mouse SSCs. What is more, the anchoring time of SSCs in this method is 8-12 hours after thaw, SSCs begin to proliferate 24 hours later, and rapid proliferation appears on the 48 hours, colonies are composed by 20-25 cells in 96 hours, when SSCs proliferated nearly 5 times.Conclusion The culture condition we used is suitable for proliferation of frozen-thawed SSCs.

Objective:To analyze the type and frequency of thalassemia gene mutation in children aged 0 to 18 years in Chengdu.Methods:A total of 568 children from Chengdu, who were initially positive for thalassemia during screening from September 2018 to July 2021, were recruited. Among them, there were 308 males and 260 females. The type of mutation and distribution of α and β types of thalassemia in this cohort was analyzed utilizing PCR reverse dot blot.Results:Among the 568 children, 356 were genetically diagnosed as thalassemia, with a total positive rate of 62.68%. Among them, there were 140 cases of α-thalassemia with a positive rate of 24.65%, and 202 cases of β-thalassemia with a positive rate of 35.56%. There were 14 carriers of α-complex β-thalassemia gene, and the positive rate was 2.46%. Among these cases, the types of α-thalassemia gene mutation were mainly αα/--sea (79.29%), αα/-α3.7 (7.86%), and-α3.7/--sea (7.14%) genotypes, accounting for 94.29% of all types. In the 202 β-thalassemia patients, 199 heterozygous mutations were identified, mainly including cd17(A?T) (36.13%), cd41-42(-TCTT) (32.68%), IVS-2-654(C?T) (20.79%), and accounting for 88.61% of all types of gene mutation, and 3 compound heterozygous mutations were detected. α-complex β-thalassemia was detected in 14 patients, including cd41-42(-TCTT)/-α3.7, VS-2-654(C?T)/--sea, cd17(A?T)/-α3.7 and cd41-42(-TCTT)/--sea, which accounting for 57.14% of all types of gene mutation. Our results showed that there is no sex difference between α and β thalassemia in Chengdu area, whereas the prevalence of α combined with β thalassemia is higher in males ( P=0.003). Conclusions:The type of α-thalassemia mutation in Chengdu is mainly αα/--sea, whereas β-thalassemia with cd17 (A?T) mutations and α-complex β-thalassemia are more frequent in males. This study provides a reference for the formulation of prevention and control strategies for thalassemia in Chengdu.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the change in postoperative complication rate after gastric cancer surgery registered in the Peking University Cancer Hospital in recent 11 years and the learning curve of complication registration, and to investigate how to improve the complication registration and evaluation in gastric cancer surgery.
METHODSPatients who underwent open or laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery between April 14, 2005 and February 15, 2016 in our institution were included in the study, and those without essential clinical and administrative data were excluded. Data were biennially collected, and linear regression was performed to investigate the changes of the following parameters, including overall complication rate, severe complication proportion (proportion of complications with Clavien-Dindo score ≥III(a in the total registered complications), re-operation rate and the major complication rate.
RESULTSA total of 5 666 patients were included in the analysis, with 4 111 males (72.56%) and 1 555 females (27.44%). The average age was (58.87±11.50) years and average BMI was(23.15±3.30) kg/m. There were 305 patients included in the 2005-2006 interval, 810 patients in 2007-2008, 957 patients in 2009-2010, 1 163 patients in 2011-2012, 1 421 patients in 2013-2014, and 1 010 patients in 2015-2016, respectively. The overall re-operation rate was 2.34%(133/5 666), postoperative mortality was 0.41%(23/5 666), registered complication rate was 19.66%(1 114/5 666), severe complication proportion was 32.28%(338/1 047), and the proportion of complication missing the Clavien-Dindo score was 6.01%(67/1 114). The linear regression showed the re-operation rate (r=0.13, P=0.801) and postoperative mortality (r=0.58, P=0.231) remained low (< 4% and < 1% respectively) since 2005, and showed no statistical significance. The registered complication rate showed evident increase from 3.93%(12/305) to 29.13%(414/1 421) between 2005 and 2014 (r=0.92, P=0.010), and slight decrease to 22.77%(230/1 010) in 2015-2016. The severe complication proportion significantly decreased from 6/9 in 2005-2006 to 22.73%(50/220) in 2015-2016 (r=0.90, P=0.014). The proportion of complication missing the Clavien-Dindo score significantly decreased from 25.00%(3/12) in 2005-2006 to 4.35%(10/230) in 2015-2016(r=0.82, P=0.044). The most common complications were infection (9.12%, 517 cases), effusions (6.26%, 355 patients), gastrointestinal motility disorder (4.45%, 252 cases), anastomotic leakage (3.19%, 181 cases) and bleeding (2.31%, 131 cases). The registered rates of these complications all increased since 2005, and the rates of leakage and effusions decreased since 2012 while the others decreased after 2014.
CONCLUSIONSAccording to the data from our institution in the recent 11 years, a learning curve exists in our institution for complication registration in gastric cancer surgery. The administrative data appears to be more reliable than registered complication data in quality and safety evaluation during the learning period. A detailed classification with the Clavien-Dindo score aids to the use of complication data for the quality and safety measurement.

Objective:
To explore the feasibility of assessing complications registration through medical information.
Methods:
A descriptive case series study was performed to retrospectively collect medical information and complication registration information of gastric cancer patients at Department of Gastrointestinal Cancer Center Ward I, Peking University Cancer Hospital from November 1, 2016 to March 1, 2017 (the first period), and from November 1, 2018 to March 1, 2019 (the second period). Case inclusion criteria: (1) adenocarcinoma confirmed by gastroscopy and biopsy; (2) patients undergoing open surgery or laparoscopic radical gastrectomy; (3) complete postoperative medical information and complication information. Patients who were directly transferred to ICU after surgery and underwent emergency surgery were excluded. Because difference of the complication registration procedure at our department existed before and after 2018, so the above two periods were selected to be used for analysis on enrolled patients. The prescription information during hospitalization, including nursing, medication, laboratory examination, transference, surgical advice, etc. were compared with the current Standard Operating Procedure (SOP, including preoperative routine examinations, inspection, perioperative preventive antibiotic use, postoperative observational tests, inspection, routine nutritional support, prophylactic anticoagulation, and prophylactic inhibition of pancreatic enzymes, etc.) for gastric cancer at our department. Medical order beyond SOP was defined as medical order variation. Postoperative complication was diagnosed using the Clavien-Dindo classification criteria, which was divided into I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, and V. Medical order variation and complication registration information were compared between the two periods, including consistence between medical order variation and complication registration, missing report, underestimation or overestimation of medical order variation, and registration rate of medical order variation [registration rate = (total number of patients–number of missing report patients)/total number of patients], severe complications (Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ III), medical order variation deviating from SOP and the corresponding inferred grading of complication. The data was organized using Microsoft Office Excel 2010.
Results:
A total of 177 gastric cancer patients were included in the analysis. The first period group and the second period group comprised 89 and 88 cases, respectively. The registrated complication rate was 23.6% (21/89) and 36.4% (32/88), and the incidence of severe complication was 2.2% (2/89) and 4.5% (4/88) in the first and the second period, respectively. The complication rate inferred from medical order variation was 74.2% (66/89) and 78.4% (69/88), and the incidence of severe complication was 7.9% (7/89) and 4.5% (4/88) in the first and second period, respectively. In the first and second period, the proportions of medical order variation in accordance with registered complication were 36.0% and 45.5% respectively; the proportion of underestimation, overestimation and missing report were 5.6% and 4.5%, 4.5% and 4.5%, 53.9% and 45.5%, respectively; the registration rate of medical order variation was 46.1% and 54.5%; the number of case with grade I complications inferred from medical order variation was 34 (38.2%) and 25 (28.4%), respectively; and the number of grade II was 12 (13.5%) and 15 cases (17.0%), respectively. The reason of the missing report of medical order variation corresponding to grade I complication was mainly the single use of analgesic drugs outside SOP, accounting for 76.5% (26/34) and 64.0% (16/25) in the first and second period respectively, and that corresponding to grade II complication was mainly the use of non-prophylactic antibiotics, accounting for 9/12 cases and 5/15 cases, respectively.
Conclusions
Medical information can evaluate the morbidity of complication feasibly and effectively. Attention should be paid to routine registration to avoid specific missing report.

Anastomotic leakage is one of the most serious complications of colorectal surgery. Despite progress in available surgical techniques, the morbidity associated with anastomotic leakage remains high. In this review, we summarize the current clinical status of this complication, the problems it causes, and relevant research achievements. To date, a lack of consensus regarding the diagnosis of anastomotic leakage has resulted in varying rates of diagnosis across countries and regions worldwide. Accurately predicting the occurrence of anastomotic leakage using the established risk factors and preoperative scoring systems remains difficult. Many of the described preventive measures, including defunctioning stoma creation, positive air leak testing, and use of effective tissue adhesives, remain controversial; more evidence-based medical information is urgently needed. Delayed diagnoses of anastomotic leakage also remain common in clinical practice. To prevent catastrophic outcomes, such as reoperations or deaths, early diagnosis is critically important. Parameters local to the area of the anastomosis may facilitate early detection of leakage, but their effectiveness is subject to clinical validation. Lastly, the pathological etiology of anastomotic leakage remains to be determined, and its elucidation may inspire innovative interventions that solve this critical surgical complication.

Objective To explore the feasibility of early predicting intra-abdominopelvic infectious complications by closer observation of abdominal drainage.Methods Prospectively collected and evaluated the first-three-postoperative-day drainage samples of 207 up-to-standard patients underwent gastrointestinal surgery between April and September 2017 in Peking University Cancer Hospital.Among them,159 males (76.8%) and 48 females (23.2%) were included,the average age was (59.9 ± 10.6) years and the average body mass index was (23.7 ± 3.2) kg/m2.Characteristics of the samples were daily recorded and later on matched with the clinical outcomes,including complications recorded and graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.The measurement data with normal distribution were presented as mean and standard deviation,the enumeration data were recorded in the form of quantity and percentage,using the x2 test and Fisher accurate test.Results One hundred and ninty-nine patients (96.1%) were recorded as normal in the drainage samples,while the other 8 cases (3.9%) as abnormal (including pungent odor,purulent color etc.).There were 53 patients (25.6%) were diagnosed with postoperative complications.Among the patients with normal samples,the complication rate was 22.6%,while the eight abnormal ones were all diagnosed with postoperative complications (complication rate:100.00%,P =O.000 012).Notably,among those 8 cases,complications were diagnosed much later than 3 days after surgery in 7 (87.5%) patients.In 1 (12.5%) case,the drainage abnormality was the only abnormal signs and there was no complications detected during the postoperative period of hospitalization.The intra-abdominal infectious complication occurred within 30 days after discharge and the patient re-admitted two times.Conclusions Early change of basic characteristics of postoperative drainage is a promising candidate for detection of postoperative complications with strong specificity.Clinical practice should be further regulated to ensure in-time recording and following interventions of those signs.

Objective To analyze the exposed dose of hippocampus(HC)of T3,T4nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT). Methods The bilateral HCs were delineated and were divided into head(HH),body(HB)and tail(HT)for 62 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with IMRT.The dose parameters of HC were then analyzed. Results The mean dose of left and right HC was(1 127±704)cGy,(1 173±762)cGy. The mean dose of left HH,HB and HT was(1 732±1029)cGy,(820±632)cGy,(423±366)cGy(P=0.000);while the mean dose of right HH, HB and HT was(1 985±1101)cGy,(837±531)cGy,(432±343)cGy(P=0.000).The exposed dose and the volume exposed in different dose of HH were obviously higher than those of HB and HT.The dose parameters of HH,HB and HT decreased in turn. The involvement of sphenoid sinus,ethmoid sinus and cavernous sinus correlated with high exposed dose of HC. Conclusions The exposed dose of HH,HB and HT was different in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with IMRT.The exposed dose of HH was the highest,which should be emphasized especially. The involvement of sphenoid sinus,ethmoid sinus and cavernous sinus suggest high exposed dose of HC.
