Flexible ureteral lithotripsy (FURL) under general anesthesia (GA) is the dominant method in the treatment of renal and upper ureteral calculi,but some patients cannot tolerate GA.In recent years,there has been a growing interest in the use of local anesthesia (LA) as a safe and effective alternative.And it is also an option for patients who have calculi ≤20 mm with high fragility,lower CT value and better compatibility.Before surgery,it is important to conduct relevant examinations,evaluate the status of patients,prevent infections,and indwell ureteral stents.During surgery,lithotomy position,scissors position,prone leg position and other positions should be selected according to the specific conditions of patients.LA drugs should be used to control physiological pain and relieve psychological anxiety.Patients' breathing state should be carefully monitored,and appropriate ureteroscope and lens sheath should be selected for the success and safety of the operation.In this paper,the perioperative management of FURL under LA is briefly summarized,so as to provide reference for clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the impact of proximal versus total gastrectomy on survival outcomes in patients with advanced upper gastric cancer following neoadjuvant therapy, aiming to provide evidence-based guidance for optimal surgical approach selection.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect clinical data from 114 patients with upper gastric cancer who underwent surgical treatment after neoadjuvant therapy in the PLA General Hospital between November 2014 and November 2023, consisting of 96 males and 18 females, with an age range of 41 to 78 years and a median age of 64 years. According to the extent of surgical resection, 44 patients underwent proximal gastrectomy (PG), and 70 patients underwent total gastrectomy (TG). Propensity score matching was used to match patients with advanced upper gastric cancer who received proximal gastrectomy or total gastrectomy after neoadjuvant therapy based on factors such as gender, age, surgical approach, BMI, ypT stage, ypN stage, tumor size, R0 resection status, neoadjuvant therapy cycles, and neoadjuvant therapy regimen, with a 1∶1 matching ratio. In the end, 44 patients in the PG group and 44 patients in the TG group were successfully matched and analyzed. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), while secondary outcomes included operative duration, R0 resection rate, complication rate, total number of lymph nodes dissected, number of lymph nodes dissected in each group, and lymph node metastasis rate. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0, and survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier (K-M) method.Results:After propensity score matching, the operative time in the TG group was significantly longer than that in the PG group [(222.0±42.5) min vs (257.0±62.0) min, χ2=3.07, P=0.003], while the differences in other baseline characteristics between the two groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). In terms of postoperative complications, the incidence of Clavien-Dindo grade II or higher complications was 29.5% in the PG group and 34.1% in the TG group ( P=0.819), indicating no significant difference. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 55.8% for the PG group and 49.5% for the TG group ( P=0.592), showing no statistically significant difference. Lymph node metastasis rates in the TG group were 5.71% (4/70) in group 4d, 4.29% (3/70) in group 5, 2.86% (2/70) in group 6, and 2.86% (2/70) in group 12a. Conclusions:For patients with advanced upper gastric cancer who undergo proximal gastrectomy or total gastrectomy following neoadjuvant therapy, there is no significant difference in perioperative complications and long-term survival rates. Therefore, proximal gastrectomy is a safe and reliable option for these patients, allowing partial preservation of gastric function and potentially improving quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis of patients with initially resectable gastric cancer liver metastasis (GCLM) who were treated by different modalities, and analyze the influencing factors for prognosis of patients.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 327 patients with initially resectable GCLM who were included in the database of a nationwide multicenter retrospective cohort study on GCLM based on real-world data from January 2010 to December 2019 were collected. There were 267 males and 60 females, aged 61(54,68)years. According to the specific situations of patients, treatment modalities included radical surgery combined with systemic treatment, palliative surgery combined with systemic treatment, and systemic treatment alone. Observation indicators: (1) clinical characteristics of patients who were treated by different modalities; (2) prognostic outcomes of patients who were treated by different modalities; (3) analysis of influencing factors for prognosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM; (4) screening of potential beneficiaries in patients who were treated by radical surgery plus systemic treatment and patients who were treated by palliative surgery plus systemic treatment. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate and draw survival curve, and Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the COX proportional hazard regression model. The propensity score matching was employed by the 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method with a caliper value of 0.1. The forest plots were utilized to evaluate potential benefits of diverse surgical combined with systemic treatments within the population. Results:(1) Clinical characteristics of patients who were treated by different modalities. Of 327 patients, there were 118 cases undergoing radical surgery plus systemic treatment, 164 cases undergoing palliative surgery plus systemic treatment, and 45 cases undergoing systemic treatment alone. There were significant differences in smoking, drinking, site of primary gastric tumor, diameter of primary gastric tumor, site of liver metastasis, and metastatic interval among the three groups of patients ( P<0.05). (2) Prognostic outcomes of patients who were treated by different modalities. The median overall survival time of the 327 pati-ents was 19.9 months (95% confidence interval as 14.9-24.9 months), with 1-, 3-year overall survival rate of 61.3%, 32.7%, respectively. The 1-year overall survival rates of patients undergoing radical surgery plus systemic treatment, palliative surgery plus systemic treatment and systemic treatment alone were 68.3%, 63.1%, 30.6%, and the 3-year overall survival rates were 41.1%, 29.9%, 11.9%, showing a significant difference in overall survival rate among the three groups of patients ( χ2=19.46, P<0.05). Results of further analysis showed that there was a significant difference in overall survival rate between patients undergoing radical surgery plus systemic treatment and patients undergoing systemic treatment alone ( hazard ratio=0.40, 95% confidence interval as 0.26-0.61, P<0.05), between patients undergoing palliative surgery plus systemic treatment and patients under-going systemic treatment alone ( hazard ratio=0.47, 95% confidence interval as 0.32-0.71, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of influencing factors for prognosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM. Results of multivariate analysis showed that the larger primary gastric tumor, poorly differentiated tumor, larger liver metastasis, multiple hepatic metastases were independent risk factors for prognosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM ( hazard ratio=1.20, 1.70, 1.20, 2.06, 95% confidence interval as 1.14-1.27, 1.25-2.31, 1.04-1.42, 1.45-2.92, P<0.05) and immunotherapy or targeted therapy, the treatment modality of radical or palliative surgery plus systemic therapy were independent protective factors for prognosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM ( hazard ratio=0.60, 0.39, 0.46, 95% confidence interval as 0.42-0.87, 0.25-0.60, 0.30-0.70, P<0.05). (4) Screening of potentinal beneficiaries in patients who were treated by radical surgery plus systemic treatment and patients who were treated by palliative surgery plus systemic treatment. Results of forest plots analysis showed that for patients with high-moderate differentiated GCLM and patients with liver metastasis located in the left liver, the overall survival rate of patients undergoing radical surgery plus systemic treatment was better than patients undergoing palliative surgery plus systemic treatment ( hazard ratio=0.21, 0.42, 95% confidence interval as 0.09-0.48, 0.23-0.78, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared to systemic therapy alone, both radical and palliative surgery plus systemic therapy can improve the pro-gnosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM. The larger primary gastric tumor, poorly differen-tiated tumor, larger liver metastasis, multiple hepatic metastases are independent risk factors for prognosis of patients with initial resectable GCLM and immunotherapy or targeted therapy, the treatment modality of radical or palliative surgery plus systemic therapy are independent protective factors for prognosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM.

Objective To analyze the risk factors influencing the occurrence of atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes, and to construct and evaluate a nomogram prediction model. Methods Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus, and R software was used to build a nomogram prediction model. The accuracy and clinical validity of the model were verified by using H-L fit curve, area under ROC curve and calibration curve. Results The prevalence rate of atherosclerosis was 56.37%. Independent risk factors for atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (P<0.05) were body weight (OR=1.42,P<0.05), glycated serum protein (OR=1.35, P<0.05), lactate dehydrogenase (OR=1.17, P<0.05), alkaline phosphatase (OR=0.79, P<0.05), hyperlipidemia (OR=2.30, P<0.05), stroke (OR=4.20, P<0.05), coronary heart disease (OR=64.54, P<0.05), lower extremity artery disease (OR=24.52, P<0.05), and other endocrine diseases (OR=1.65 , P<0.05). The area under ROC curve was 0.91, the slope of the calibration curve was close to 1, and the H-L fit curve χ2=3.11. The internal verification result of the constructed nomogram prediction model was P=0.93. External verification of patients in the test set showed that the area under ROC curve was 0.91, indicating good differentiation and accuracy of the model. Conclusion The prediction model established by using the risk factors screened in this study has a high accuracy and differentiation, and medical staff can take effective prevention measures according to the individual factors of patients.

Objective To explore the protective mechanism of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula(ZGF)on synaptic damage of hippocampal neurons based on leukocyte mono-immunoglobulin-like receptor 3(CD300f)/glucose transporter 1(GLUT1)signal-mediated microglial glucose metabolism in rats with diabetes-related depression.Methods Eighty male SD rats were randomly selected using random number table method,with 10 rats serving as the normal group.The remaining 70 rats were fed a high-fat diet for 4 weeks and then injected once with 38 mg/kg of streptozotocin via the tail vein to replicate the diabetes rat model.Sixty rats were screened and successfully modeled,which were randomly divided into the model,CD300f blocker,CD300f agonist,metformin+fluoxetine(metformin 0.18 g/kg+fluoxetine 1.8 mg/kg),and ZGF high-and low-dose(20.52 and 10.26 g/kg,respectively)groups using random number table method.In addition to the normal group,the rats in the other groups underwent chronic unpredictable mild stress combined with isolation feeding for 28 days to replicate the diabetes-related depression rat model.The metformin+fluoxetine and ZGF high-and low-dose groups were subjected to continuous intragastrial administration for 14 days after the second week of modeling.The normal and model groups were administered an equal amount of distilled water by gavage.The CD300f blocker group and agonist group received microinjection into the hippocampus,with injection of myeloid cell trigger receptor inhibitory factor(CLM1,2 μg/kg)and immunoglobulin Fc surface protein(Fcγ,5 μg/kg)once a week,respectively.Depression-like behavior in rats was evaluated using open-field and forced swimming tests after the intervention.Biochemical analysis was used to detect the glucose,lactic acid,and adenosine diphosphate(ADP)/adenosine triphosphate(ATP)ratio contents.The insulin,5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),and dopamine(DA)levels in the hippocampus were detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the average fluorescence intensity of CD300f,GLUT1,regulating synaptic membrane wxocytosis 3(RIMS3),and synapse-associated protein 102(SAP102)in hippocampal tissue.Western blotting was used to detect the CD300f,GLUT1,RIMS3,and SAP102 protein expression levels in the hippocampus.The synaptic damage of hippocampal neurons was observed using Nissl staining and transmission electron microscope.Results Compared with the normal group,the model group showed a decrease in the total active distance in the open-field test and an increase in forced swimming immobility time,with an increase in glucose and lactic acid contents and ADP/ATP ratio,whereas a decrease in insulin,5-HT,and DA levels was observed in the hippocampus.The average fluorescence intensity and relative protein expression levels of CD300f,GLUT1,RIMS3,and SAP102 in hippocampal tissue decreased(P<0.05),and the synaptic ultrastructure of hippocampal neurons was damaged.Compared with the model group,depression-like behavioral changes,glucose metabolism,and monoamine neurotransmitter imbalance were alleviated in the CD300f agonist group and ZGF high-and low-dose group(P<0.05).The average fluorescence intensity and relative protein expression levels of CD300f,GLUT1,RIMS3,and SAP102 in the hippocampus of the CD300f agonist group and the ZGF high-dose group were all increased(P<0.05),and synaptic damage was alleviated.The abnormal levels of glucose,lactate,ADP/ATP,5-HT,and CD300f protein expression were aggravated in the CD300f blocker group(P<0.05),and synaptic damage was aggravated.Conclusion ZGF can alleviate glucose metabolism disorders in hippocampal microglia and synaptic damage in hippocampal neurons in rats with diabetes-related depression.Its mechanism may be related to regulating the CD300f/GLUT1 signaling pathway.
