Objective:To analyze the screening results of the Urban Cancer Early Diagnosis and Treatment Project in Qinghai Province from 2019 to 2024.Methods:A summary and statistical analysis were conducted on six years of screening data from the Urban Cancer Early Dia-gnosis and Treatment Program in Qinghai Province,with the high-risk rate,screening rate,and detection rate calculated separately for each type of cancer.Results:From 2019 to 2024,56,882 high-risk individuals were identified.The high-risk rates for lung,colorectal,breast,up-per gastrointestinal,and liver cancer were 22.02%,21.57%,14.23%,13.52%,and 6.10%,respectively.Overall,13,592 individuals com-pleted clinical screening,with detection rates of 0.32%for lung cancer,0.41%for liver cancer,0.08%for precancerous gastric lesions,3.63%for precancerous colorectal lesions,0.08%for esophageal cancer,0.16%for gastric cancer,and 0.14%for colorectal cancer.Conclusions:The implementation of the Urban Cancer Early Diagnosis and Treatment Program in Qinghai Province aids in the early detection of cancer,improves early diagnosis and survival rates,and reduces mortality.Nevertheless,due to low public awareness and limited participation,en-hancements in program management and public outreach are required.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prognosis of septic right ventricular dysfunction (SRVD) based on bedside ultrasound and explore its risk factors. METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted involving septic and septic shock patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from February 2021 to January 2022. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) was measured by M-mode ultrasound within 24 hours after ICU admission. According to the results of TAPSE, the subjects were divided into SRVD group (TAPSE < 16 mm) and non-SRVD group (TAPSE ≥ 16 mm). The gender, age, occurrence of septic shock, underlying diseases, source of patients, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, maximal body temperature within 24 hours after ICU admission, location and number of infections, duration of mechanical ventilation, and 28-day mortality were collected. Hemodynamic parameters, organ function indexes, oxygen therapy parameters and arterial blood gas analysis indexes were recorded within 24 hours after ICU admission. The differences of the above indexes between the two groups were compared. Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen out the independent risk factors for SRVD, and a nomogram of SRVD risk factors was drawn. RESULTS: 116 patients with sepsis and septic shock were enrolled, of which 24 (20.7%) had SRVD and 92 (79.3%) had no SRVD. Compared with the non-SRVD group, the patients in the SRVD group had higher emergency transfer and infection site ≥ 2 ratio, APACHE II score, SOFA score, higher cardiac troponin I (cTnI), myoglobin (Mb), MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), serum creatinine (SCr), arterial blood lactic acid (Lac) and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), platelet count (PLT) within 24 hours after ICU admission, and higher proportion of norepinephrine application and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that LVEF [odds ratio (OR) = 0.918, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.851-0.991, P = 0.028], PLT (OR = 0.990, 95%CI was 0.981-0.999, P = 0.035), SCr (OR = 1.008, 95%CI was 1.001-1.016, P = 0.025), and the usage of norepinephrine (OR = 15.198, 95%CI was 1.541-149.907, P = 0.020) were independent risk factors for SRVD in patients with sepsis and septic shock. Based on the above four independent risk factors, a nomogram of SRVD risk factors was drawn. The results showed that the score was 64 when LVEF was 0.50, 18 when SCr was 100 μmol/L, 85 when PLT was 100×10⁹/L, and 39 when norepinephrine was used. When the total score reached 253, the risk of SRVD was 88%. Compared with non-SRVD group, the duration of mechanical ventilation in SRVD group was slightly longer [hours: 80.0 (28.5, 170.0) vs. 47.0 (10.0, 135.0), P > 0.05], and the 28-day mortality was significantly higher [41.7% (10/24) vs. 21.7% (20/92), P < 0.05]. CONCLUSIONS Patients with sepsis may have right ventricular dysfunction, impaired renal function and increased mortality in the early stage. The decrease in LVEF and PLT, the increase in SCr and the application of norepinephrine are independent risk factors for SRVD in patients with sepsis.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of the splenic vessel-oriented anatomical plane priority strategy in Da Vinci robotic Kimura distal pancreatectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 26 patients who underwent robotic-assisted distal pancreatectomy at Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2019 to September 2024. The cohort included 7 male and 19 female patients, aged (49.3±16.7) years. Surgical outcomes, including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and hospital stay, were analyzed, and surgical techniques were summarized.Results:All 26 patients successfully completed the surgery. Pathological diagnoses included 5 cases of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, 5 serous cystadenomas, 1 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, 6 solid pseudopapillary neoplasms, 4 mucinous cystic neoplasms, and 5 neuroendocrine tumors. The maximum tumor diameter was (2.3±1.1) cm, and the operative time was (183.2±77.4) min. The spleen preservation rate was 100% (26/26). Intraoperative blood loss was 50.0 (17.5, 125) ml, and postoperative hospital stay was (10.1±3.7) d. No Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher complications occurred. The post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) rate was 53.8% (14/26), including 38.5% (10/26) biochemical leak and 15.3% (4/26) grade B POPF, with no grade C POPF.Conclusion:The splenic vessel-oriented anatomical plane priority strategy in robotic-assisted spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (Kimura technique) is safe and feasible, significantly improving the spleen preservation rate.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) have been widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the acceleration of heart rate caused by GLP-1RA should not be ignored. In the general population and patients with diabetes, increased heart rate has an independent correlation with the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases. In general, the long-acting GLP-1RA seem to exert a greater effect in increasing heart rate, and the effect is dose-dependent and negatively correlated with baseline heart rate. The increase in heart rate caused by GLP-1RA may be related to enhanced sympathetic nervous activity, reflex tachycardia as a response to vasodilation, etc. It is advisable to closely monitor the increased heart rate induced by GLP-1RA in clinical practice, especially in patients with high-risk factors for cardiovascular disease. In case of elevated heart rate, the management begins with immediate discontinuation of the GLP-1RA and symptomatic intervention should be given if necessary.

Objective To analyze the medical resource consumption of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients in different groups of disease diagnosis-related grouping(DRG)based on the DRG payment model,provide reference for optimizing prevention and control of HAI as well as resource management.Methods Medical records and DRG-related indicators of discharged patients from a municipal hospital in Sichuan Province from January 1 to December 31,2024 were analyzed retrospectively.Medical resource consumption of patients in HAI group and non-HAI group was compared.Differences in average length of hospital stay and average expense per hospitalization be-tween two groups of patients were analyzed using stratified analysis.Results In 2024,HAI incidence of discharged patients in DRG management in this hospital was 1.57％.There were statistically significant differences in age,gender,admission and discharge ways between the HAI group and the non-HAI group(all P＜0.05).The main HAI sites were lower respiratory tract,surgical site,urinary tract,and blood.The time consumption index(1.63 vs 0.85),average length of hospital stay(21.00 vs 5.00 days),expense consumption index(1.53 vs 0.92),ave-rage expense per hospitalization(44 700 vs 7 300),and multiple expense in HAI group were all higher than those in non-HAI group(all P＜0.05).The consumption of medical resources for bloodstream infection was relatively higher.Patients with HAI were mostly concentrated in the groups related to acute leukemia with major complications or co-morbidities(MCC),intracranial or craniotomy surgery with MCC,tracheotomy with mechanical ventilation for 96 hours,as well as gastric,esophageal,and duodenal surgery.The average length of hospital stay and average ex-pense per hospitalization of patients in HAI group were both higher than those in the non-HAI group,differences were statistically significant(both P＜0.05).Conclusion HAI significantly increase the consumption of medical resources.Based on DRG analysis,key disease groups for infection prevention and control can be further identified,and the consumption of medical resources can be more accurately and precisely evaluated,thereby optimizing the allocation of medical resources and improving hospital operational efficiency.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of abandoning prophylactic abdominal drainage in patients undergoing minimally invasive minor hepatectomy based on a propensity score matching (PSM) study.Methods:Retrospective review of a prospectively collected database of patients undergoing minimally invasive minor hepatectomy from July 2022 to May 2023 at the Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery and Minimally Invasive Surgery, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital. A total of 108 patients were enrolled, including 48 males and 60 females, aged (60.8±13.7) years old. According to whether the abdominal drainage tube was prophylactically placed intraoperatively, patients were divided into two groups: the drainage group (with prophylactic placement of abdominal drainage tubes, n=76); the no-drainage group (without prophylactic placement of abdominal drainage tubes, n=32). PSM was used to compare the perioperative data between the groups, including extent of liver resection, intraoperative blood loss, operative time, and postoperative complications. Postoperative survival status within 90 days was followed up through telephone review. Results:Before PSM, the two groups differed significantly on age and the history of hypertension (both P<0.05). After PSM, there were 23 patients in each group. Patients in the two groups showed comparable results regarding the intraoperative parameters including the surgical method, pathological types, the number and maxium diameter of hepatic lesions, the extent and complexity of liver resection, and the duration of hepatic inflow occlusion (all P>0.05). No postoperative intra-abdominal bleeding occurred in either group. The incidences of postoperative complications were comparable between the groups, including fever, bile leakage, incision infection, and abdominal acupuncture for drainage (all P>0.05). After PSM, compared to patients wothout prophylactic abdominal drainage, prophylactic abdominal drainage group showed a decreased white blood cell counts on postoperative day 1 [9.39(6.30, 10.58)×10 12/L vs. 13.19(10.15, 14.90)×10 12 /L, P=0.006] and a shorter length of postoperative hospital stay [4(3, 5) d vs. 5(4, 5) d, P=0.033]. No postoperative death within 90 days occurred in either group. Conclusion:In minimally invasive minor hepatectomy, abandoning prophylactic abdominal drainage could be feasible, which facilitates fast recovery without increasing the incidence of postoperative fever, perihepatic fluid accumulation and postoperative abdominal acupuncture for drainage.
