Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and to construct and evaluate the prediction model of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF).Methods:Clinical data of 255 PD patients undergoing PD at the General Surgery Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from January 2016 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed as the training set, including 148 males and 107 females, aged 58.0 (52.0, 64.5) years. According to the occurrence of POPF, patiennts were divided into the pancreatic fistula group ( n=65, including grade B and C POPF) and the non-pancreatic fistula group ( n=190). The age, gender, body mass index (BMI), white blood cell (WBC) count and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) before surgery and on the postoperative day (POD) 3, albumin, diameter of pancreatic duct, texture of the pancreas, operation time, and amylase concentration in the drainage fluid on POD3 were compared between the groups. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the influencing factors of POPF. The nomogram of the pancreatic fistula prediction model was constructed using the rms package. One thousand cases were selected as the test set through the Bootstrap resampling method. And in the test set the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were drawn to evaluate the model. Results:Logistic univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, BMI, WBC count and NLR (preoperative and on POD3), the concentration of amylase in drainage fluid on POD3, pancreatic duct diameter, and operation time (all P<0.05). The results of logistic multivariate regression analysis showed age ( OR=1.050, 95% CI: 1.011-1.091), BMI ( OR=1.127, 95% CI: 1.005-1.264) and the amylase concentration of the drainage fluid >367.5 U/L on POD3 ( OR=3.688, 95% CI: 1.849-7.354) were the influencing factors of POPF ( P<0.05). Based on the three influencing factors screened out by multivariate analysis, a histogram for the prediction of pancreatic fistula was constructed using the rms package. The area under the ROC curve of the nomogram for predicting the occurrence of pancreatic fistula after PD was 0.744 (95%CI: 0.679-0.809), with a sensitivity of 69.2% and a specificity of 70.5%. The calibration curve shows that the model's prediction is consistent with the actual situation in the overall trend, indicating a relatively high degree of calibration. Conclusion:Age, BMI and amylase concentration of drainage fluid >367.5 U/L on POD3 are the influencing factors for pancreatic fistula after PD. The nomogram model for predicting pancreatic fistula constructed based on this has good predictive and application value.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of bilateral facial perforator artery flap in repairing large area defect in middle and lower part of nose. METHODS: The clinical data of 18 patients with large area defect in middle and lower part of nose repaired by bilateral facial perforator artery flap between January 2019 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 13 males and 5 females, the age ranged from 43 to 81 years, with an average of 63 years. There were 3 cases of nasal trauma, 4 cases of basal cell carcinoma, 8 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 1 case of lymphoma, and 2 cases of large area solar keratosis. The size of the defect ranged from 3.0 cm×3.0 cm to 4.5 cm×4.0 cm; the size of unilateral flap ranged from 3.0 cm×1.3 cm to 3.5 cm×2.0 cm, and the size of bilateral flaps ranged from 3.3 cm×2.6 cm to 4.5 cm×4.0 cm. RESULTS: One patient developed skin flap necrosis after operation, and a frontal skin flap was used to repair the wound; 1 case gradually improved after removing some sutures due to venous congestion in the skin flap, and the wound healing was delayed after dressing change; the remaining 16 cases of bilateral facial perforator artery flaps survived well and all wounds healed by first intention, without any "cat ear" malformation. All 18 patients had first intention healing in the donor area, leaving linear scars without obvious scar hyperplasia, and no facial organ displacement. All patients were followed up 3-12 months, with an average of 6 months. Due to the appropriate thickness of the flap, none of the 18 patients underwent secondary flap thinning surgery. All flaps had good blood circulation, similar texture and color to surrounding tissues, symmetrical bilateral nasolabial sulcus, and high patient satisfaction. CONCLUSION The bilateral facial perforator artery flaps for repairing large area defect in middle and lower part of nose can achieve good appearance and function, and the operation is relatively simple, with high patient satisfaction.

Objective:To translate the English version and cross-cultural adaptation of Readiness for Return-To-Work Scale (RRTW) into Chinese and tested the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of RRTW in young and middle-aged stroke patients.Methods:RRTW was translated into Chinese with standard translation-retroversion. From August to December 2020, 235 stroke patients in the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University were recruited by convenient sampling. The scale was tested by the reliability and validity.Results:The Chinese version of RRTW for stroke was composed of two parts: The first part was divided into four dimensions, with a total of 13 entries; For the unworked stroke population, the second part was divided into two dimensions, with a total of nine entries for the reworked stroke population. The content validity index (CVI) for each item was from 0.875 to 1.000. The total CVI for all items was 0.994. The Pearson correlation coefficient between dimension and scale was from 0.523 to 0.876. Four common factors were obtained from the first part and the cumulative contribution rate was 62.563%. Two common factors were obtained from the second part and the cumulative contribution rate was 49.908%. The Cronbach α coefficient in the first part was 0.760 and in the second part was 0.693.Conclusions:The Chinese version of RRTW for stroke patients has good reliability and validity, which can be used to assess the readiness level of stroke patients to return to work in Chinese society.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of laparoscopic assisted removal of greater omentum free transplantation combined with skin grafting for the repair of large area refractory wounds.Methods:From June 2013 to June 2018, 18 cases of lower extremity skin and soft tissue defects with multiple bone, joint, tendon and internal plants exposure were admitted to Hanzhong Central Hospital, including 12 males and 6 females, aged from 15 to 50 years old, with an average age of 32.6 years old. The area of skin and soft tissue defect: 30 cm×12 cm-53 cm×21 cm. The operation was divided into two stages. In the first stage, the greater omentum was acquired with the assist of laparoscope and free transplanted to cover the wound. After the greater omentum free transplantation was confirmed to survive, the split-thickness skin graft was applied for wound repair.Postoperative survival of the greater omentum and skin grafting, complications, appearance and function of lower limbs were observed and followed up.Results:The 18 operations were performed successfully, the area of omentum resection was 25 cm×10 cm-35 cm×15 cm, all the greater omentums survived after operation without complications such as intestinal adhesion, volvulus and peritonitis. The area of the skin grafting was 36 cm×8 cm-45 cm×22 cm. 16 cases skin grafting survived completely, 2 cases skin grafting were necrosis just local small area, and scar healed after dressing change. Postoperative follow-up of 6-12 months showed good appearance and function of lower limbs and satisfactory results.Conclusions:For the large area soft tissue defect wound of lower extremity, complicated with multiple deep tissues such as bone, joint and internal materials exposed, the greater omentum free transplantation under laparoscope combined with medium thick skin graft second stage has the advantages of good appearance and function after wound healing, less donor injury and fewer postoperative complications.

Objective: To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of 18 cases of severe aortic stenosis with ventricular septum hypertrophy. Methods: Clinical data of 18 patients with severe aortic stenosis admitted to the first affiliated hospital of zhengzhou university from January 2013 to December 2016 were collected. There were 7 males and 11 females. The mean age was (50.4±4.2) years old. All patients were diagnosed with severe stenosis of main artery valve by echocardiography before surgery, with mean aortic valve orifice area (0.57±0.11) cm^2, cardiac function (NYHA classification) grade Ⅱ in 4 patients, grade Ⅲ in 9 patients, and grade Ⅳ in 5 patients. There were 8 patients with mild aortic valve insufficiency, 4 patients with mild to moderate mitral valve insufficiency, 2 patients with moderate to severe aortic valve insufficiency, 3 patients with ascending aorta dilatation (ascending aorta inner diameter>4.5 cm), and 1 patient with atrial fibrillation. Interventricular septum thickness (15.82±2.04)mm, left ventricular posterior wall thickness (14.04±1.28)mm, ratio of interventricular septum thickness to left ventricular posterior wall thickness (IVS/LVPW) 1.12±0.91, inner diameter of left ventricular outflow tract (19.01±1.74)mm, cross-lobe differential pressure (102±8.40) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) mean 0.49±0.05. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (53.33±4.00) mm, left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) (27.11±1.99) mm, and left ventricular mass index (277.1±37.3) g/m². All patients underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) and partial interventricular septum resection under general anesthesia and conventional extracorporeal circulation, 2 patients underwent mitral valve formation (artificial valve ring), 2 patients underwent ascending aorta formation, and 1 patient underwent ascending aorta wrapping. During the operation, the time of extracorporeal circulation, aortic occlusion, number of defibrillation during the operation, type of valve implantation and postoperative complications were recorded. Regular follow-up was conducted to analyze the changes of various indexes at different preoperative and postoperative time. Results: There was no death in the whole group. 2 patients were treated with temporary pacemakers. After drug treatment, sinus rhythm was restored on the 3rd and 6th day after surgery, and temporary pacemakers were removed. Echocardiography reexamination 1 week after the operation showed that all patients had a good artificial valve function and 2 patients had minor regurgitation of mitral valve. The difference in pressure across the valve, inner diameter of the left ventricular outflow tract, cardiac function classification, ventricular septum thickness, valve orifice area, and left ventricular mass index were significantly improved compared with the preoperative level (P<0.05). LVEF, LVEDD, and LVESD were compared with the preoperative level (P<0.05). After 6 months of follow-up, the difference in LVEF and LVEDD was statistically significant compared with the preoperative level (P<0.05). Conclusion Severe aortic stenosis combined with ventricular septum hypertrophy and partial ventricular septal muscle resection is a simple additional procedure in the AVR process, which does not increase the surgical risk and has a significant effect, and is conducive to postoperative left ventricular function recovery.

OBJECTIVE： To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban versus low molecular weight heparin in the prevention of venous thromboembolism （VTE） in patients with hip fractures， and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical application. METHODS： Retrieved from Cochrane library， PubMed， Embase， CNKI， VIP and Wanfang database， randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about rivaroxaban （test group） versus low molecular weight heparin （control group） in the prevention of VTE in patients with hip fracture were collected during database establishment to Jun. 2018. After data extraction and quality evaluation with Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.1.0， Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software for the incidence of  deep venous thrombosis （DVT）， postoperative discharge， activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT）， prothrombin time （PT） and the incidence of ADR. RESULTS： Totally 8 RCTs were included， involving 949 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with low molecular weight heparin， rivaroxaban could significantly decreased the incidence of DVT [RR＝0.55， 95％CI （0.36， 0.83）， P＝0.004]. There was no statistical significance in postoperative discharge [MD＝－0.24， 95％CI （－5.27， 4.8）， P＝0.93]， APTT [MD=0.56， 95％CI （－0.75， 1.86）， P＝0.40]， PT [MD＝0.04， 95％CI（－0.03， 0.11）， P＝0.25] or the incidence of ADR [RR=1.73，95％CI（0.15，20.48）， P＝0.66] between 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS： Rivaroxaban has a better preventive effect on VTE in patients with hip fracture than low molecular weight heparin， and has a similar safety as low molecular weight heparin.
