Objective Jejunal interposition is an important option for restoring gastrointestinal continuity in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable for reconstruction due to previous gastrectomy, tumor involvement, failed gastric conduit, or other constraints. Although the jejunum offers a caliber similar to the esophagus, a rich blood supply, and preserved peristaltic function, anatomical variations in mesenteric length and vascular arcades render long-segment and high-level reconstruction susceptible to excessive tension, mesenteric torsion, venous congestion, and inadequate distal perfusion. This consensus aims to provide standardized recommendations for the application of jejunal interposition in this specific patient population. Methods This consensus was developed in accordance with the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development and Chinese national guideline development standards, with reference to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Ⅱ(AGREE Ⅱ), Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT), and Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) checklists. The project was registered on the international practice guidelines registry platform (PREPARE-2026CN1384). The working group systematically searched Chinese and English evidence addressing 12 clinical questions. Evidence was graded using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) 2009 system, with structured appraisal of risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision. Recommendations were formulated through two rounds of Delphi surveys and a face-to-face consensus meeting, with an agreement threshold of ≥75%. Results The consensus generated 12 recommendations covering indications, selection between jejunum and colon, preoperative assessment, surgical approach and reconstruction route, pedicled jejunal interposition (PJI), supercharged pedicled jejunal interposition (SPJ), indocyanine green (ICG) perfusion assessment, perioperative nutrition, management of anastomotic leakage, long-term follow-up, and special treatment scenarios. Given that the available direct evidence is predominantly derived from single-center retrospective cohorts and case series, recommendations extrapolated from general esophagectomy or other gastrointestinal surgical evidence are deliberately phrased with caution. Conclusion Jejunal interposition is a safe and effective approach for digestive tract reconstruction in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable. This consensus emphasizes that clinical decision-making should be individualized based on the patient's prior treatment history, reconstruction height, vascular anatomy, technical availability, and institutional experience in the Chinese context.

Aim Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment(SELEX)techniquewas employed to screen and identify nucleic acid aptamers that specifically bind to mouse atherosclerotic pathological tissues,aiming to pro-vide a research foundation for the development of molecular targets and diagnostic reagents for early atherosclerosis.Methods A single-stranded DNA(ssDNA)library with a capacity of 1015～1016 was constructed,which was then subjec-ted to binding-elution(negative selection)with normal mouse vascular tissue slices.The eluted library was subsequently bound to atherosclerotic tissue slices for binding-elution(positive selection).PCR was used to amplify the positive and negative screening products,and agarose gel electrophoresis was used to verify the amplified products.The ssDNA library after multiple rounds of selection was sequenced using T-A cloning and sequencing to obtain the primary structure of the nu-cleic acid aptamers,and the secondary structure was predicted using the Mfold online software.The selected nucleic acid aptamers were labeled with a FAM fluorescent group at the 5'-end and were bound to both positive and negative selection tissue slices,with fluorescence intensity observed under a fluorescence microscope.Image Pro Plus 6.0 was used to cal-culate the relative average fluorescence intensity to evaluate the binding specificity of nucleic acid aptamers.Results After 8 rounds of selection,agarose gel electrophoresis imaging showed PCR amplification products in the positive selection lanes,while no PCR amplification products were observed in the negative selection lanes,indicating the successful acquisi-tion of a nucleic acid aptamer library that specifically binds to atherosclerotic tissues.Five nucleic acid aptamers were i-dentified by T-A cloning and sequencing,and their predicted secondary structures all had stem-loop structures.Immuno-fluorescence staining verified that five nucleic acid aptamers had different degrees of binding with As blood vessels,and the quantitative results of the relative average fluorescence intensity showed that nucleic acid aptamer No.11 had the highest relative average fluorescence intensity value,which can be used as a candidate nucleic acid aptamer for subsequent re-search.Conclusion Specific nucleic acid aptamers that bind to atherosclerotic vesselswere successfully obtained,providing a research foundation for further screening of early molecular targets of Asand developing in vivo early diagnostic reagents.

Morita therapy has been bom for more than 100 years.Inpatient Morita therapy is highly oper-able and easy to master.It can improve many refractory neuroses through four-stage treatment.But more neuroses are treated in outpatient clinics,and Morita therapy cannot be used in hospitalized patients.Therefore,the formula-tion of expert opinions on outpatient operations is particularly important.This paper is based on domestic and for-eign references,and after many discussions by domestic Morita therapy experts,and then drew up the first version of the expert opinions on operation of outpatient Morita therapy.Meanwhile the operation rule of Morita therapy in three stages of outpatient treatment was formulated:in the etiological analysis stage,under the theoretical guidance of Morita therapy,analyze the pathogenic factors,to improve treatment compliance and reduce resistance;during the operating stage,guide patients to engage in constructive and meaningful actions,realizing the achievement of letting nature take its course principle;in the cultivating character and enriching life stage,pay attention to positive infor-mation,expanding the scope and content of actions,improving the ability to adapt to complex life,and preventing recurrence caused by insufficient abilities.It will lay a foundation for the promotion of Morita therapy in domestic outpatient clinics,so that more patients with neurosis and other psychological diseases could receive characteristic Morita therapy treatment in outpatient clinics.

Objective:To investigate the association of exposure to PM 2.5 and its constituents during pregnancy and fetal growth and to further identify critical windows of exposure for fetal growth. Methods:We included 4 089 mother-child pairs from the Jiangsu Birth Cohort Study between January 2016 and October 2019. Data of general characteristics, clinical information, daily average PM 2.5 exposure, and its constituents during pregnancy were collected. Fetal growth parameters, including head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), and femur length (FL), were measured by ultrasound after 20 weeks of gestation, and then estimated fetal weight (EFW) was calculated. Generalized linear mixed models were adopted to examine the associations of prenatal exposure to PM 2.5 and its constituents with fetal growth. Distributed lag nonlinear models were used to identify critical exposure windows for each outcome. Results:A 10 μg/m 3 increase in PM 2.5 exposure during pregnancy was associated with a decrease of 0.025 ( β=-0.025, 95% CI: -0.048- -0.001) in HC Z-score, 0.026 ( β=-0.026, 95% CI: -0.049- -0.003) in AC Z-score, and 0.028 ( β=-0.028, 95% CI:-0.052--0.004) in EFW Z-score, along with an increased risk of 8.5% ( RR=1.085, 95% CI: 1.010-1.165) and 13.5% ( RR=1.135, 95% CI: 1.016-1.268) for undergrowth of HC and EFW, respectively. Regarding PM 2.5 constituents, prenatal exposure to black carbon, organic matter, nitrate, sulfate (SO 42-) and ammonium consistently correlated with decreased HC Z-score. SO 42- exposure was also associated with decreased FL Z-scores. In addition, we found that gestational weeks 2-5 were critical windows for HC, weeks 4-13 and 19-40 for AC, weeks 4-13 and 23-37 for FL, and weeks 4-12 and 20-40 for EFW. Conclusions:Our findings demonstrated that exposure to PM 2.5 and its constituents during pregnancy could adversely affect fetal growth and the critical windows for different fetal growth parameters are not completely consistent.

Lamin B1 (LMNB1) is highly expressed in liver cancer tissues, and its influence and mechanism on the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells were explored by knocking down the expression of the protein. In liver cancer cells, siRNAs were used to knock down LMNB1. Knockdown effects were detected by Western blotting. Changes in telomerase activity were detected by telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay (TRAP) experiments. Telomere length changes were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). CCK8, cloning formation, transwell and wound healing were performed to detect changes in its growth, invasion and migration capabilities. The lentiviral system was used to construct HepG2 cells that steadily knocked down LMNB1. Then the changes of telomere length and telomerase activity were detected, and the cell aging status was detected by SA-β-gal senescence staining. The effects of tumorigenesis were detected by nude mouse subcutaneous tumorigenesis experiments, subsequent histification staining of tumors, SA-β-gal senescence staining, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for telomere analysis and other experiments. Finally, the method of biogenesis analysis was used to find the expression of LMNB1 in clinical liver cancer tissues, and its relationship with clinical stages and patient survival. Knockdown of LMNB1 in HepG2 and Hep3B cells significantly reduced telomerase activity, cell proliferation, migration and invasion abilities. Experiments in cells and tumor formation in nude mice had demonstrated that stable knockdown of LMNB1 reduced telomerase activity, shortened telomere length, senesced cells, reduced cell tumorigenicity and KI-67 expression. Bioinformatics analysis showed that LMNB1 was highly expressed in liver cancer tissues and correlated with tumor stage and patient survival. In conclusion, LMNB1 is overexpressed in liver cancer cells, and it is expected to become an indicator for evaluating the clinical prognosis of liver cancer patients and a target for precise treatment.

Objective     To compare the early and mid-term results between Fontan operation and anatomic correction for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA). Methods     The clinical data of 53 patients with ccTGA who underwent anatomic correction and Fontan operation from January 2009 to September 2021 in our hospital were reviewed, including 41 males and 12 females with a mean age of 55.02 (3-168) months. They were divided into an anatomic correction group (16 patients) and a Fontan operation group (37 patients) according to the operation. The hospitalization mortality, survival rate, postoperative complications, and free rate from re-intervention between the two groups were compared. Another 180 healthy children were recruited as a control group, and 14 children were matched with the propensity score matching method as a Fontan control group. The results of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) between the Fontan operation group and the Fontan control group were compared. Results     There were 2 (12.5%) early deaths and 3 (18.8%) early re-intervention in the anatomic correction group, while 1 death and 2 re-intervention in the Fontan operation group. In addition, there were 9 patients (56.3%) in the anatomic correction group and 6 (16.2%) patients in the Fontan operation group suffering from arrhythmia after operation, respectively. Compared with the anatomic correction group, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamping time, intubation time and ICU stay were significantly shortened in the Fontan operation group (P<0.05). CPET results showed that, percent predicted max VO2 in the Fontan operation group was lower than that in the Fontan control group (0.84±0.11 vs. 0.99±0.12, P<0.05). The patients were followed up for 0.5-126.0 months. Two patients were lost in the Fontan operation group. There was no death and 1 re-intervention in the anatomic correction group, while no death or re-intervention in the Fontan operation group. The 1-year, 5-year and 10-year transplant-free survival rate of the anatomic correction group and the Fontan operation group was 87.5%, 87.5%, 87.5% and 97.3%, 97.3%, 97.3%, respectively (P>0.05). The 48 patients were classified as grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ in cardiac function in the last follow-up. Conclusion     There is no statistical difference in the transplant-free survival rate between the anatomic correction and the Fontan operation group. The postoperative complications in the Fontan operation group are decreased than those in the anatomic correction group. The Fontan operation is also a good choice, even though the patients with ccTGA meet the condition of the procedure of anatomic correction.

Objective:To evaluate multi-channel transcatheter embolotherapy for type Ⅱ endoleak originating from lumbar arteries after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR).Methods:Data of 8 cases of type Ⅱ endoleak after EVAR from Oct 2017 to Nov 2020 at the Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Henan Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Results:All patients who suffered from type Ⅱ endoleak that originated from lumbar arteries after EVAR were successfully treated with coils and mixture of Compant medical glue and iodipin through multi-channel. The technical success rate was 100%, the operative time was 80-150 min. Right lower limb dyskinesia occurred in 1 patient after operation, the symptom disappeared by anticoagulation and trophic neurotherapy for 2 months. Type Ⅱ endoleak didn't recur in all patients, and no mortality during the 4-38(14.1) months follow-up period.Conclusion:Multi-channel transcatheter embolotherapy has definite effects for the treatment of type Ⅱ endoleak from lumbar arteries after EVAR, with high technical feasibility, few perioperative complications, low mortality among other advantages. The results of short and medium term are satisfactory.

Objective To study the acute toxicity of tetrodotoxin to zebra fish. Methods The maximum non-lethal concentration (MNLC) and 10% lethal concentration (LC₁₀) determinations were used to assess the acute toxicity of tetrodotoxin. Results According to the simulation calculation of Origin 8.0 software, the MNLC was 8.62 µmol/L and 15.2 µmol/L for LC₁₀. Under the experimental conditions, tetrodotoxin at a concentration of 16.0 µmol/L and above induced pericardial edema and arrhythmia, leading to the death of zebra fish. The target organs for acute toxicity of tetrodotoxin were the heart and liver. The main manifestations were pericardial edema, arrhythmia, and delayed yolk sac absorption. The toxicity appeared at a concentration of 0.958 µmol/L. Conclusion Tetrodotoxin has heart and liver toxicity to zebra fish, and its toxicity is dose-dependent.

Objective:To explore the feasibility, safety and effectivity of applying transmesenteric vein extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TEPS) to treat extrahepatic portal vein obstructive disease (EHPVOD).Methods:From December 2020 to April 2021, 12 patients with EHPVOD in the Vascular Surgery Department of Zhengzhou University People′s Hospital were prospectively enrolled in the study. The infra-umbilical median longitudinal minilaparotomy was performed to expose the branch of superior mesenteric vein (SMV). RUPS-100 was introduced into the trunk of SMV. A balloon with a diameter of 20 mm was introduced through right internal jugular vein (RIJV) into inferior vena cava (IVC). Under fluoroscopy, RUPS-100 was used to puncture the balloon in IVC. A stiff guide wire was used to establish the pathway between RIJV and SMV. Finally the portosystemic shunt between IVC and SMV was established with a covered stent-graft. The total operative time, the time of establishing portosystemic shunt alone, the dosage of contrast agent, the preoperative and postoperative pressure of SMV were recorded. Paired t test was used to compare the preoperative and postoperative pressure of SMV. Results:All 12 patients were successfully performed TEPS. The total operative time was (113±32) min, the time of establishing portosystemic shunt alone was (31±5) min, the dosage of contrast agent was (129±48) ml. The postoperative pressure of SMV [(14.3±2.1) mmHg] decreased significantly ( t=20.125, P<0.01) compared to baseline [(27.8±2.7) mmHg]. All portal hypertension symptoms released after the operations.There was 1 case of delayed incision healing, 1 case of bacteremia and 1 case of slight hepatic encephalopathy, but all of them were cured. There was no death case. Postoperative CT showed all portosystemic shunts were patent. Conclusion:TEPS is a new, safe, effective and feasible treatment method for patients of acute and chronic EHPVOD.
