Objective:To review the application of pediatric magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) at Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from 2012 to 2023, and to provide referenceable data for MRE use in complex pediatric clinical scenarios.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. The clinical and imaging data from children aged≤18 years who underwent MRE at Tongji Hospital between December 2012 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Out of 186 children who intended to receive the MRE examination, 12 failed, remainder 174 participants (mean age 14±4 years, range 1 month to 18 years) were included. Participants were categorized into an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) group (118 cases) and a non-IBD group (56 cases), and further divided by age into infants (0-6 years, 8 cases), children (7-12 years, 37 cases), and adolescents (13-18 years, 129 cases). The overall image quality and the intestinal filling quality were scored using a 5-point scale. Statistical analyses included χ2 tests for age distribution, history of intestinal reconstruction surgery, and MRE success rates between IBD and non-IBD groups. Mann-Whitney U test was employed to compare subjective image quality scores between the abovementioned two groups. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to detect the differences among the three age groups. Results:The success rate of MRE significantly increased with age: 66.7% (8/12) in infants, 88.1% (37/42) in children, and 97.7% (129/132) in adolescents ( χ2=15.39, P<0.001). A statistically significant difference in age distribution was observed between the IBD and non-IBD groups ( χ2=17.94, P<0.001). The proportion of infants in the non-IBD group was 14.3% (8/56), which was higher than that of the IBD group. The majority of the IBD group were adolescents, accounting for 78.8% (93/118). There was a statistically significant difference in the intestinal reconstruction surgery history ( χ2=2.83, P=0.005). The non-IBD group had a higher incidence of intestinal reconstructive surgery (21.4%, 12/56), compared to the IBD group (6.8%, 8/118). MRE intestinal filling quality or overall image quality scores between the IBD and non-IBD groups or among different age sub-groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Juvenilization of non-IBD children and intestinal reconstructive surgery history could make the inspection more complex. High-quality imaging can still be achieved by adhering to technical specifications.

Objective:To evaluate the value of implementing a modified reverse puncture procedure for esophagojejunostomy during totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy.Methods:This was a descriptive case series. Relevant clinical data, including the operative procedure, recovery, and pathological findings of 35 patients with gastric cancer who had undergone esophagojejunostomy with a modified reverse puncture technique during totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Fujian Provincial Hospital, from June 2022 to January 2023, were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. The age of all patients in the group was (64.9±8.0) years old, with 22 males (62.9%) and a body mass index of (23.2±2.4) kg/m 2. The tumors were located in the upper and middle parts of the stomach in 24 cases (68.6%) and in the junction of the esophagus and stomach in 11 cases (31.4%). Important technical aspects of the modified reverse puncture procedure are as follows. (1) Site of the esophageal incision: a transverse incision is made across the right lateral wall of the esophagus at the expected site of esophageal disjunction. (2) Technique for inserting an anvil: after threading a silk thread through the tip of anvil, the end of the thread is knotted and fixed as the traction thread, after which an anvil is inserted into the esophagus through the esophageal incision, leaving the end of the traction line exposed. Next, a 60-mm linear cutter is placed through the right midclavicular trocar to straighten the opened esophagus vertically, after which the rod of the anvil is pulled out of a small incision that has been made in the esophagus by pulling the traction thread, thus completing anvil placement. (3) Jejunal binding: the jejunum on the central bar of the stapler is fastened with silk thread to the stump of the jejunum, and then tied to the output loop of the jejunum with a gauze strip. Results:All 35 surgeries were successful, with no mortality or conversion to laparotomy. The operation time, anvil insertion time, and digestive tract reconstruction time were (232.7±34.4), (8.5±1.4), and (40.5±4.8) minutes, respectively. The intraoperative blood loss was 100 (20–250) mL and the incision was (5.3±0.9) cm long. The upper surgical margin was negative in all patients and the mean distance between the upper and tumor margins was (3.5±1.2) cm. The mean number of lymph nodes dissected per patient was 33.9±7.1. The times to initial ambulation, initial passage of flatus , postoperative fluid intake, and length of postoperative hospital stay were (3.2±1.1), (3.7±1.5), (4.6±2.3), and (9.8±3.2) days, respectively. Postoperative complications occurred in five patients: one case of anastomotic leak, two of anastomotic stenosis, one of pulmonary infection, and one of incomplete intestinal obstruction, all of which were successfully managed conservatively.Conclusion:Esophagojejunostomy using a modified reverse puncture technique during totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy is safe and feasible for gastric cancer, requiring only a small incision and achieving higher upper esophageal resection margins and good postoperative recovery, and therefore warrants further implementation.

AIM: With building a proliferation model of PA-induced VSMC, the effect of ATGL, a key fat metabolism enzyme, on the phenotype transformation of VSMC was preliminarily explored. METHODS: 40 μmol/L Atglistatin was added to the proliferation model of VSMC induced by PA (50 μmol/L, 100 μmol/L, and 200 μmol/L, respectively) at separately administered concentrations, and cell viability and cell proliferation were detected by CCK-8 and EDU; cell migration ability was detected by scratch assay; oil red staining was used to detect the accumulation of lipid droplets in VSMC was detected by oil red staining; the effects of PA on ATGL as well as the effects of smooth muscle contraction phenotype proteins were examined by Western blot. RESULTS: PA at a concentration of 100 μmol/L could significantly induce VSMC proliferation, promote lipophagy and increase lipid droplet accumulation in VSMC; meanwhile, Atglistatin could exacerbate these changes caused by PA and increase lipid droplet accumulation in VSMC. CONCLUSION: Atglistatin exacerbates PA-induced VSMC proliferation and increases VSMC lipid droplet accumulation, and exacerbates transformation of proliferative phenotype of VSMC.

OBJECTIVE To explore the protective mechanism of kaempferol (KAE)on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CI/R) injury in vitro and in vivo . METHODS Firstly,the potential targets of KAE in the treatment of CI/R injury were preliminarily screened by network pharmacology. AutoDock Vina software was used to conduct molecular docking between KAE and the top 10 core targets ,and the binding affinity was used as the evaluation standard to further clarify the possible mechanism of KAE in treating CI/R injury. Finally ,the above results were verified by in vivo and in vitro experiments. The oxygen glucose deprivation/ reperfusion(OGD/R)HT22 cell injury model and the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)rat model were constructed. The cell activity was detected by CCK- 8 method. The neural function score and TTC staining were performed on the rats and their brain tissues. The phosphorylation levels of protein kinase B (Akt)and Src in HT 22 cells and brain tissue of rats were detected by Western blot. RESULTS The results of network pharmacology screening showed that KAE in the treatment of CI/R injury was closely related to 10 core targets including prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2,matrix metalloproteinase 9,JUN,Akt1,tumor necrosis factor ,caspase-3,mitogen activated protein kinase 8,intercellular cell adhesion molecule 1,vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 and Src. The results of molecular docking showed that KAE was stably bound with Akt 1 and Src . The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that KAE could significantly improve the survival rate of OGD/R-injuried HT 22 cells (P<0.05), significantly reduced the neurological function score of MCAO model rats (P<0.05),significantly reduces the volume of cerebral infarction in rats (P<0.05),and significantly increased the phosphorylation levels of Akt and Src in HT 22 cells and brain tissue of rats(P<0.05),which showed a dose dependent trend. CONCLUSIONS KAE may play a neuroprotective role by regulating the phosphorylation expression of Akt and Src ,thus treating CI/R injury.

Objective:To investigate the influences of age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) on prognosis of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 242 gastric cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in 19 hospitals of the Chinese Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery Study Group-04 study, including 54 patients in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, 32 patients in the First Hospital of Putian City, 32 patients in Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, 31 patients in Zhangzhou Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, 17 patients in Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, 11 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University, 8 patients in Qinghai University Affiliated Hospital, 8 patients in Meizhou People′s Hospital, 7 patients in Fujian Provincial Hospital, 6 patients in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University, 6 patients in Longyan First Hospital, 5 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, 5 patients in the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University, 4 patients in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 4 patients in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, 4 patients in Beijing University Cancer Hospital, 3 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, 3 patients in Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital, 2 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University, from September 2016 to October 2017 were collected. There were 193 males and 49 females, aged 62(range, 23?74)years. Observation indicators: (1) age distribution, comorbidities and ACCI status of patients; (2) the grouping of ACCI and comparison of clinicopathological characteristics of patients in each group; (3) incidence of postoperative early complications and analysis of factors affecting postoperative early complications; (4) follow-up; (5) analysis of factors affecting the 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of patients. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect postoperative survival of patients up to December 2020. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the nonparametric rank sum test. The X-Tile software (version 3.6.1) was used to analyze the best ACCI grouping threshold. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves. The Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. The Logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting postoperative early complications. The COX proportional hazard model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses of factors affecting the 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of patients. Multivariate analysis used stepwise regression to include variables with P<0.05 in univariate analysis and variables clinically closely related to prognosis. Results:(1) Age distribution, comor-bidities and ACCI status of patients. Of the 242 patients, there were 28 cases with age <50 years, 68 cases with age of 50 to 59 years, 113 cases with age of 60 to 69 years, 33 cases with age of 70 to 79 years. There was 1 patient combined with mild liver disease, 1 patient combined with diabetes of end-organ damage, 2 patients combined with peripheral vascular diseases, 2 patients combined with peptic ulcer, 6 patients combined with congestive heart failure, 8 patients combined with chronic pulmonary diseases, 9 patients with diabetes without end-organ damage. The ACCI of 242 patients was 2 (range, 0-4). (2) The grouping of ACCI and comparison of clinicopathological characteristics of patients in each group. Results of X-Tile software analysis showed that ACCI=3 was the best grouping threshold. Of the 242 patients, 194 cases with ACCI <3 were set as the low ACCI group and 48 cases with ACCI ≥3 were set as the high ACCI group, respectively. Age, body mass index, cases with preoperative comorbidities, cases of American Society of Anesthesiologists classification as stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲ, tumor diameter, cases with tumor histological type as signet ring cell or poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and cases with tumor type as moderately or well differentiated adenocarcinoma, cases with tumor pathological T staging as stage T1, stage T2, stage T3, stage T4, chemotherapy cycles were (58±9)years, (22.6±2.9)kg/m 2, 31, 106, 85, 3, (4.0±1.9)cm, 104, 90, 16, 29, 72, 77, 6(4,6) in the low ACCI group, versus (70±4) years, (21.7±2.7)kg/m 2, 23, 14, 33, 1, (5.4±3.1)cm, 36, 12, 3, 4, 13, 28, 4(2,5) in the high ACCI group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=-14.37, 1.98, χ2=22.64, Z=-3.11, t=-2.91, χ2=7.22, Z=-2.21, -3.61, P<0.05). (3) Incidence of postoperative early complications and analysis of factors affecting postoperative early complications. Of the 242 patients, 33 cases had postoperative early complications, including 20 cases with local complications and 16 cases with systemic complica-tions. Some patients had multiple complications at the same time. Of the 20 patients with local complications, 12 cases had abdominal infection, 7 cases had anastomotic leakage, 2 cases had incision infection, 2 cases had abdominal hemorrhage, 2 cases had anastomotic hemorrhage and 1 case had lymphatic leakage. Of the 16 patients with systemic complications, 11 cases had pulmonary infection, 2 cases had arrhythmias, 2 cases had sepsis, 1 case had liver failure, 1 case had renal failure, 1 case had pulmonary embolism, 1 case had deep vein thrombosis, 1 case had urinary infection and 1 case had urine retention. Of the 33 cases with postoperative early complications, there were 3 cases with grade Ⅰ complications, 22 cases with grade Ⅱ complications, 5 cases with grade Ⅲa complications, 2 cases with grade Ⅲb complications and 1 case with grade Ⅳ complica-tions of Clavien-Dindo classification. Cases with postoperative early complications, cases with local complications, cases with systemic complications were 22, 13, 9 in the low ACCI group, versus 11, 7, 7 in the high ACCI group, respectively. There were significant differences in cases with postoperative early complications and cases with systemic complications between the two groups ( χ2=4.38, 4.66, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in cases with local complications between the two groups ( χ2=2.20, P>0.05). Results of Logistic regression analysis showed that ACCI was a related factor for postoperative early complications of gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy [ odds ratio=2.32, 95% confidence interval ( CI) as 1.04-5.21, P<0.05]. (4) Follow-up. All the 242 patients were followed up for 36(range,1?46)months. During the follow-up, 53 patients died and 13 patients survived with tumor. The 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of the 242 patients was 73.5%. The follow-up time, cases died and cases survived with tumor during follow-up, the 3-year recurrence-free survival rate were 36(range, 2-46)months, 29, 10, 80.0% for the low ACCI group, versus 35(range, 1-42)months, 24, 3, 47.4% for the high ACCI group. There was a significant difference in the 3-year recurrence-free survival rate between the two groups ( χ2=30.49, P<0.05). (5) Analysis of factors affecting the 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of patients. Results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative comorbidities, ACCI, tumor diameter, histological type, vascular invasion, lymphatic invasion, neural invasion, tumor pathological TNM staging, postoperative early complications were related factors for postoperative 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy [ hazard ratio ( HR)=2.52, 3.64, 2.62, 0.47, 2.87, 1.90, 1.86, 21.77, 1.97, 95% CI as 1.52-4.17, 2.22-5.95, 1.54-4.46, 0.27-0.80, 1.76-4.70, 1.15-3.12, 1.10-3.14, 3.01-157.52, 1.11-3.50, P<0.05]. Results of multivariate analysis showed that ACCI, tumor pathological TNM staging, adjuvant chemotherapy were indepen-dent influencing factors for postoperative 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy ( HR=3.65, 11.00, 40.66, 0.39, 95% CI as 2.21-6.02, 1.40-86.73, 5.41-305.69, 0.22-0.68, P<0.05). Conclusions:ACCI is a related factor for post-operative early complications of gastric cancer patients undergoing laparos-copic radical gastrectomy. ACCI, tumor pathological TNM staging, adjuvant chemotherapy are indepen-dent influencing factors for postoperative 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

Objective:The respiratory waveform of lung cancer patients based on 4D-CT respiratory gating was analyzed to evaluate the accuracy of gating during radiotherapy, and to explore the off-target in the 4D-CT respiratory gating radiotherapy.Methods:Clinical data of 18 patients with lung cancer admitted to Radiotherapy Department of Jiangsu Cancer Hospital were collected to obtain the respiratory waveform data during 4D-CT respiratory gating radiotherapy. The waveform in each treatment working cycle was compared with the waveform in 4D-CT scan to study whether there was a possibility of the off-target in the treatment of lung cancer patients.Results:There were 154 treatment sessions and 20,790 treatment breathing cycles in 18 patients, among which the threshold of gated opening beam miss amplitude (Δm-en) was greater than 0 in 95 treatment breathing cycles in 7 patients, accounting for 0.46% of all breathing cycles, and the threshold of gated closing beam miss amplitude (Δm-dis) was greater than 0 in 1419 treatment breathing cycles in 13 patients, accounting for 6.83% of all cycles. Among the 13 patients withΔm-dis greater than 0, actual tumor range of motion (R G) was greater than the sum of the value of target margin (M) and the value of plan tumor range of motion (R T) in 7 patients, R G was more than 1.5 times of M+R T in 7 patients, and there were also 7 patients in the phase of rapid rise and fall of respiratory curve. The correlation efficients between R G-M-R T and the percentage of beam on miss phase (T en%) and the percentage of beam closing off phase (T dis%) were 0.41 and 0.57, respectively. Conclusion:When R G is more than 1.5 times of M+R T value and the gating beam on phase contains the phases in the rapid rise and fall of the respiratory curve, the possibility of the off-target during radiotherapy is significantly increased.
