[Objective] To explore the correlation between the 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5) and acute kidney injury (AKI) after laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in elderly patients with renal cancer, so as to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of postoperative AKI. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 214 elderly patients (≥60 years) who underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy at our hospital during Dec.2018 and Dec.2021.Patients were divided into frail group (n=75, mFI-5≥2) and non-frail group (n=139, mFI-5<2). The incidence of AKI and sub items of mFI-5 were compared between the two groups.According to the occurrence of AKI, patients were divided into AKI group (n=77) and non-AKI group (n=137). Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were conducted to identify risk factors of AKI.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to test the effectiveness of mFI-5 in predicting AKI. [Results] The incidence of AKI was significantly higher in the frail group than in the non-frail group (64.00% vs. 20.86%, P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the incidence of AKI was related to gender, diabetes, hypertension, nonfunctional independent status, weakness and split kidney glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male (OR=2.454, 95%CI: 1.193—5.047), complicated weakness (OR=6.580, 95%CI: 3.380—12.811), and low split kidney GFR (OR=0.945, 95%CI: 0.911—0.980) were independent risk factors of AKI (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of AKI predicted by mFI-5 was 0.711. [Conclusion] Preoperative mFI-5 score is an effective predictor of AKI in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.As patients with frailty have a higher risk of AKI, preoperative evaluation and monitoring should be strengthened and timely intervention should be taken to improve the prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of improved perforator area CTA three-dimensional reconstruction in design and harvest of anterolateral thigh perforator flap(ALTPF) and deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap(DIEPF).Methods:Repairs of defects of oral and maxillofacial tumour resection with ALTPF for 8 patients and defects of breast tumour resection with DIEPF for 2 patients were performed from September 2021 to January 2022 in the Department of Hand and Microsurgery of Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College. According to the improved scanning parameters and drug administration protocol, patients underwent CTA scans of both thighs or abbomen before operation. The data of CTA were sent to GE AW 4.7 work station to produce three-dimensional reconstruction of perforator area and angiosome. The source artery and perforator were observed dynamically from the angiosome in the perforator area, and the specific data were measured. The perforator location was marked by HHD, and then according to the measurement data of CTA three-dimensional reconstruction marked the location, course of perforator and the course of source artery on the body surface. The data of source arteries and perforators explored during the operation were compared with preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction. The perforator locations of CTA were compared with the HHD. The harvest time and survival condition of flap were compared with the previous patients who only had the perforator location markers from HHD. The sizes of ALTPFs and DIEPFs were 4.0 cm×4.0 cm-15.0 cm×6.0 cm and 19.0 cm×7.5 cm-25.0 cm×10.0 cm, respectively. The survival of flaps and the healing of wound were observed in the postoperative follow-up in terms of appearance, texture, function of recipient site and the shape and function of the donor site.Results:Eight ALTPFs and 2 DIEPFs all survived without any adverse event. Both recipient and donor sites healed well without any complication. Seven femoral septocutaneous perforators, 2 musculocutaneous perforators and abdominal 3 perforators coursed directly, 2 tortuously perforators were seen from three-dimensional reconstruction. The types and origins of perforators explored during operation were basically consistent with three-dimensional reconstruction. The accuracy of CTA[(0.36±0.11) cm] was higher than HHD[(0.54±0.19) cm] for perforators location( t=-3.160, P<0.05). Compared with the previous group[(74.60±30.53) min], this group[(52.80±24.57) min] had a shorter time to cut out the flap of similar area( t=-9.179, P<0.05). In the previous group, one flap transfer was failed due to the thinner caliber of perforator and source artery. All the flaps survived with satisfactory outline and softness with good blood supply after 2-6 months of follow-up. The oral and maxillofacial functions were normal. The reconstructed breasts were symmetrical with the healthy side, and the shape was satisfactory. Only linear scars remained in the donor sites without dysfunction. Conclusion:The improved CTA three-dimensional reconstruction of perforator area can help to determine the detailed location, course and distribution of the perforators at the superficial fascia layer. It provides a reliable bases in the design and harvest of perforator flaps during operation, reduces the perioperative risks and has certain clinical values.

【Objective】 To identify and propose blood transfusion suggestions for 3 children suspected to have red blood cell T polyagglutination. 【Methods】 According to the RBC reactions with phytohemagglutinin, adult serum and cord blood serum, aggregation test with polybrene reagent and MN antigen phenotype test were carried out on 3 children to confirm the presence of T polyagglutination. The donor serum with negative or weak reactions was selected by minor cross matching for the 3 children who needed therapeutic plasma exchange(TPE). 【Results】 Three cases of RBC T polyagglutination were caused by bacterial infection, with transient appearance of MN antigen; the samples were reactive to peanut agglutinin, soybean agglutinin, adult serum but nonreactive to cord blood serum, and didn′t aggregate after adding polybrene reagent. After receiving timely TPE, the T polyagglutination gradually disappeared. 【Conclusion】 Some bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, may cause polyagglutination of red blood cells. The patients with suspected T polyagglutination should be diagnosed in time. For T polyagglutination patients, the minor matched plasma should be used for avoiding the random plasma with anti-T antibody transfusion.

Objective:To explore the relationship between microRNA-4429 (miR-4429) derived from serum exosomes and prognosis of radical radiation and chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:309 blood samples of NSCLC patients were collected [before chemotherapy (T0), after 1 cycle of chemotherapy (T1) and after 2 cycles of chemotherapy (T2), 103 cases at each time point], and the expression level of miR-4429 was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR method, and the relationship between it and the prognosis of radical radiation and chemotherapy in NSCLC was analyzed.Results:The 1-year, 2-year and 3-year survival rates of 103 NSCLC patients were 69.90%, 45.63% and 34.95%, respectively. The expression levels of T1-miR-4429 and T2-miR-4429 in the survival group were 0.66±0.14 and 0.77±0.11, respectively, which were higher than T1-miR-4429 (0.60±0.06) and T2-miR-4429 (0.62±0.11) in the death group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.269, 6.997, P<0.05). Restricted cubic spline fitting COX regression analysis showed that T2-miR-4429 had a linear relationship with survival in NSCLC. COX regression analysis showed that TNM staging was an independent risk factor for the survival and prognosis in NSCLC ( P<0.05), and the degree of differentiation, targeted therapy and T2-miR-4429 were all independent protective factors for the survival and prognosis in NSCLC ( P<0.05). The calibration curve of the nomogram regression model constructed by TNM stage, degree of differentiation, targeted therapy and T2-miR-4429 coincided well with the ideal curve, and the C-index was 0.713. Conclusions:The high expression level of T2-miR-4429 indicates that NSCLC patients have a low risk of poor survival prognosis. The nomogram regression model constructed by TNM staging, degree of differentiation, targeted therapy and T2-miR-4429 has a certain degree of discrimination and accuracy, which can assist in evaluating the prognosis of NSCLC.

Objective:To analyze the expression of mismatch repair genes MLH1 and PMS2 in elderly colorectal cancer patients and its association with the clinicopathological features.Methods:This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study.According to the loss of MLH1 and PMS2 gene expression, elderly patients with colorectal cancer admitted to Beijing Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018 were consecutively enrolled and divided into the MLH1 group(n=65)and the PMS2 group(n=80). Pathological features were compared between the MLH1 group, the PMS2 group and patients with normal MLH1 and PMS2 gene expression.Results:Among patients with the loss of MHL1 protein expression, pathological features were similar in males and females.A minority of patients(16.9%)had a family history of tumors.Most lesions were either moderately differentiated(63.1%)or poorly differentiated(24.6%). Regarding staging, 44.6% were in stage T4, 27.7% were in stage T3, 61.5% were in N0, 89.2% were in M0, and most patients were in TNM stage Ⅲ.Lesions were mostly located in the ascending colon(61.5%). Compared with patients with normal expression of MHL1, patients with the loss of MHL1 protein expression were younger[(74.6±8.8) years old vs.(77.3±6.2) years old, t=-2.072, P=0.040]and had greater maximal tumor length[(5.7±2.3) cm vs.(4.4±1.3) cm, t=3.753, P<0.001], and there were significant differences in lesion differentiation, T staging and tumor location between the two groups( P<0.05). Conclusions:Loss of MLH1 or PMS2 gene expression in elderly colorectal cancer patients is associated with an early age of onset, rapid tumor progression, poor differentiation, and pathological staging.

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of preservation of left colic artery (LCA) on postoperative anastomotic leakage in patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy.
Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect data of rectal cancer patients at Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Fujian Cancer Hospital from September 2014 to August 2017. Inclusion criteria: (1) age of 18 to 79 years; (2) rectal adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative pathology; (3) patients without preoperative serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease receiving preoperative neoadjuvant radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy; (4) laparoscopic-assisted anterior rectal resection and distal ileostomy were performed simultaneously; (5) complete clinical data. Exclusion criteria: patients with extensive abdominal metastasis, or distant organ metastasis during operation, and combined organ resection. According to whether LCA was retained during operation, the patients were divided into two groups, then the intraoperative and postoperative clinical outcomes were compared. Moreover, univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze risk factors of postoperative anastomotic leakage.
Results:
A total of 125 patients were included in this study, including 56 patients in the retained LCA group and 69 patients in the non-retained LCA group. Differences in baseline data, such as gender, age, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, hemoglobin, distance between tumor and anal margin, maximum diameter of tumor, preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, and ypTNM stage, between retained LCA group and non-retained LCA group were not statistically significant (all
