Objective:To evaluate the radiological and functional outcomes of moderate to severe hallux valgus patients with enlarged distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) underwent modified Chevron osteotomy.Methods:The clinical data of patients with moderate and severe hallux valgus with increased distal metatarsal joint angle who accepted surgery operation in the Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery of Yantaishan Hospital from October 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent modified Chevron osteotomy. Taking the proximal end of the metatarsal head centre as the osteotomy apex, the vertical arm osteotomy line in the sagittal plane made an angle of ≤80° with the metatarsal stem, the horizontal plane was inclined to the lateral distal end of the metatarsal head by about 10°, and the sagittal plane metatarsal arm osteotomy line made an angle of ≥90° with the vertical arm osteotomy line; at the proximal osteotomy surface, another cuneiform bone with its base on the medial and its apex on the lateral was resected. The deformity correction was insufficient and Akin osteotomy was performed in combination. Weil osteotomy was performed in combination with metatarsalgia. Radiological assessment including the hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), DMAA, the joint congruity angle (JCA), forefoot bone width and soft tissue width was performed preoperatively and at last follow-up postoperatively. American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society/hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal scale (AOFAS/HMIS) was used for clinical and functional evaluation, total score from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better function.Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used for pain valuation, total score from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more pain. A questionnaire survey on patient satisfaction was conducted at the last follow-up. Shapiro-Wilk test was used for normal distribution test, and measurement data following normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD. Paired t-test was used for comparison before and after operation. Other indicators conformed to non-normal distribution were denoted by M( Q1, Q3) and were tested by Wilcoxon signed-rank test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Fifty-two feet of 48 patients (5 males, 43 females; mean age (52.4±14.9) years; range, 24 to 78 years) were enrolled. Before the operation, 8 feet combined with metatarsalgia, among them, 7 feet underwent modified Chevron+ Akin+ Weil osteotomy, and 1 foot underwent modified Chevron+ Weil osteotomy. Among the 44 feet without metatarsalgia, 11 feet underwent modified Chevron osteotomy and 33 feet underwent modified Chevron+ Akin osteotomy. The mean follow-up time was 17.8 months (12-24 months). The HVA angle decreased from 38.30°±7.59° before surgery to 10.00°±5.73° at the last follow-up; the IMA angle decreased from 16.08°(12.89°, 18.24°) to 4.81°(3.62°, 7.57°); the DMAA angle decreased from 18.35°(13.03°, 27.47°) to 4.52°(2.68°, 7.09°); JCA decreased significantly from 15.93°(10.25°, 23.06°) to 3.56°(1.71°, 6.98°); forefoot bone width decreased from (90.05±6.12) mm to (82.75±5.01) mm; forefoot soft tissue width decrease from 102.25(96.77, 107.15) mm to 98.08(91.01, 100.60) mm; the VAS decreased from 6(5.5, 7) points to 0(0, 0) points; the score according to the AOFAS/HMIS forefoot was increased from 49(42, 52.5) points to 90(83.5, 95) points; which were statistically significant compared with that before the operation (all P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the first metatarsal length before the operation and at the last follow-up [54.60(52.86, 56.42) mm vs. 54.29(51.85, 56.35) mm, P>0.05]. In the post-operative period, there were 8 feet had limited metatarsophalangeal joint movement, 3 feet had limited interphalangeal joint movement, 5 feet had limited movement in both joints, which did not affect walking and function; 3 feet of partial recurrence of hallux valgus, 2 feet of screw irritation pain, 1 foot of cystic degeneration of the first metatarsal head, and no complications such as metastatic metatarsalgia. The satisfaction survey showed that the satisfaction rate of patients with the orthopedic effect was 90.4% (47/52). Conclusion:The modified Chevron osteotomy is effective in the treatment of moderate to severe hallux valgus with enlarged DMAA. Careful intraoperative operation and standardized postoperative rehabilitation training can reduce complications.

Objective:To investigate the application value of optimized mesenteric defect closure technique in laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 26 patients who underwent laparo-scopic-assisted right hemicolectomy at Changzhi People′s Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from May 2023 to June 2024 were collected. There were 11 males and 15 females, aged (65.7±1.8)years. All patients received optimized mesenteric defect closure using a combined extra-corporeal-laparoscopic suturing technique. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and intraoperative conditions; (2) postoperative conditions; (3) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical and intraoperative conditions. All 26 patients underwent laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy with optimized mesenteric defect closure. The time of optimized mesenteric defect closure was 9.8(8.8,12.8)minutes, time of digestive tract reconstruction was 10.0(8.7,13.0)minutes, operation time was (164±4)minutes, volume of intraoperative blood loss was 50(50,100)mL. One of the 26 patients had intraoperative mesenteric hematoma, which required no specific intervention. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged from hospital. (2) Postoperative conditions. The visual analog scale pain score of 26 patients on postoperative day 1 and day 3 were 5(4,5) and 3(2,3), respectively. Time to postoperative first anal flatus and bowel movement were both 3(3, 4)days. Time to postoperative first intake of liquid diet was 2(2,3)days, duration of postoperative abdominal drainage was 4(3,5)days, and duration of postoperative hospital stay was 9(8,12)days. The number of lymph node dissected in 26 patients was 25(18,27) and the number of positive lymph node was 1(0,2). Cases in stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ of tumor TNM staging were 5, 6, 15. (3) Follow-up. All 26 patients were followed up for 15(range, 6?20)months. Of the 26 patients, one case had incom-plete intestinal obstruction on postoperative day 25, which was diagnosed as adhesive intestinal obstruction based on imaging examination and classified as Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ. The patient recovered and was discharged after conservative treatment. None of the 26 patients had bleeding, infection of incision, anastomotic leakage, internal hernia, or delayed gastric emptying. There was no tumor recurrence, metastasis or death.Conclusion:The optimized mesenteric defect closure tech-nique in combined extracorporeal-laparoscopic suturing procedure can be used in laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy.

Objective:This meta-analysis compares the postoperative outcomes of the double-flap technique (DFT) versus esophagogastrostomy (EG), jejunal interposition (JI), double-tract reconstruction (DTR), and gastric tube anastomosis (GTA) following proximal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:Prospective and retrospective studies published from database inception until June 2025 were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, CNKI, and Wanfang databases. Studies reporting at least one predefined outcome with extractable data were included. Outcomes of interest consisted of incidence of gastroesophageal reflux, overall postoperative complications, anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis, and digestive reconstruction time. Two investigators independently performed literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were evaluated with the Cochrane ROB 2.0 tool, retrospective cohort studies with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and single-arm studies with the JBI critical appraisal tool. Dichotomous outcomes were pooled using risk ratios (RRs), and continuous variables were summarized with standardized mean differences (SMDs), using fixed- or random-effects models based on I2 statistics. Publication bias was assessed via funnel plots and Egger's test.Results:A total of 55 studies published between 2007 and 2025 were included, comprising 5 RCTs and 50 retrospective studies. Among 4,380 patients, 732 underwent EG, 454 GTA, 1,480 DTR, 468 JI, and 1,246 DFT. Quality assessment indicated that all except six retrospective cohort studies (rated as moderate quality) were of high quality or had low risk of bias. Among the five reconstruction methods, DFT showed the lowest incidence of gastroesophageal reflux (6.6%, 82/1,246) and overall postoperative complications (11.6%, 144/1,246). JI had the lowest rate of anastomotic leakage (1.3%, 6/468), followed by DFT (1.4%, 18/1,246), and DTR had the lowest rate of anastomotic stenosis (2.4%, 36/1,480), followed by DFT (7.5%, 94/1,246). DFT required the longest operative time for reconstruction ([141.2 ± 597.6] minutes), and DTR required the shortest ([50.1 ± 39.0] minutes). Compared to EG, DFT was associated with a significantly lower risk of gastroesophageal reflux (RR=0.13 ,95%CI: 0.03-0.55, P = 0.01), and no significant differences were observed in overall complications (RR=0.98, 95%CI: 0.55-1.74, P = 0.93), anastomotic leakage (RR = 0.81, 95%CI: 0.04-18.43, P = 0.90), or anastomotic stenosis (RR = 0.75, 95%CI: 0.09-6.39, P = 0.79). Compared to JI, DFT showed no significant differences in gastroesophageal reflux (RR = 0.36, 95%CI: 0.10-1.25, P=0.11), overall complications (RR=2.06, 95%CI: 0.30-14.11, P=0.46), anastomotic leakage (RR=2.05, 95%CI: 0.26-16.18, P=0.49), or anastomotic stenosis (RR=0.83, 95%CI: 0.10-7.17, P=0.87). Similarly, compared to DTR, DFT had a lower risk of overall complications (RR=0.70, 95%CI: 0.50-0.98, P=0.04) but a longer reconstruction time (SMD: 2.55, 95%CI: 0.31-4.79, P=0.03). No significant differences were found in gastroesophageal reflux (RR = 0.68, 95%CI: 0.35-1.30, P=0.24), anastomotic leakage (RR=0.59, 95%CI: 0.16-2.17, P=0.43), or anastomotic stenosis (RR=2.44 , 95%CI: 0.44-13.64, P=0.31). Compared to GTA, DFT was associated with a significantly lower risk of gastroesophageal reflux (RR = 0.53, 95%CI: 0.33-0.88, P=0.01), but again there were no significant differences in overall complications (RR = 0.69, 95%CI: 0.41-1.16, P=0.16), anastomotic leakage (RR = 0.25, 95%CI: 0.03-2.14, P=0.21), or anastomotic stenosis (RR=0.65, 95%CI: 0.24-1.76, P=0.40). No significant publication bias was detected in the analysis (Egger's test P>0.05). Conclusions:Among the five common anastomotic methods after proximal gastrectomy, DFT demonstrates superior anti-reflux efficacy, outperforming EG and GTA in particular in preventing gastroesophageal reflux. DFT also exhibits a lower overall complication risk compared with DTR but maintains anastomotic safety comparable with that of the other techniques.

Paired t-test was used for comparison before and after operation. Other indicators conformed to non-normal distribution were denoted by M( Q1, Q3) and were tested by Wilcoxon signed-rank test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Fifty-two feet of 48 patients (5 males, 43 females; mean age (52.4±14.9) years; range, 24 to 78 years) were enrolled. Before the operation, 8 feet combined with metatarsalgia, among them, 7 feet underwent modified Chevron+ Akin+ Weil osteotomy, and 1 foot underwent modified Chevron+ Weil osteotomy. Among the 44 feet without metatarsalgia, 11 feet underwent modified Chevron osteotomy and 33 feet underwent modified Chevron+ Akin osteotomy. The mean follow-up time was 17.8 months (12-24 months). The HVA angle decreased from 38.30°±7.59° before surgery to 10.00°±5.73° at the last follow-up; the IMA angle decreased from 16.08°(12.89°, 18.24°) to 4.81°(3.62°, 7.57°); the DMAA angle decreased from 18.35°(13.03°, 27.47°) to 4.52°(2.68°, 7.09°); JCA decreased significantly from 15.93°(10.25°, 23.06°) to 3.56°(1.71°, 6.98°); forefoot bone width decreased from (90.05±6.12) mm to (82.75±5.01) mm; forefoot soft tissue width decrease from 102.25(96.77, 107.15) mm to 98.08(91.01, 100.60) mm; the VAS decreased from 6(5.5, 7) points to 0(0, 0) points; the score according to the AOFAS/HMIS forefoot was increased from 49(42, 52.5) points to 90(83.5, 95) points; which were statistically significant compared with that before the operation (all P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the first metatarsal length before the operation and at the last follow-up [54.60(52.86, 56.42) mm vs. 54.29(51.85, 56.35) mm, P>0.05].

The satisfaction survey showed that the satisfaction rate of patients with the orthopedic effect was 90.4% (47/52). Conclusion:The modified Chevron osteotomy is effective in the treatment of moderate to severe hallux valgus with enlarged DMAA. Careful intraoperative operation and standardized postoperative rehabilitation training can reduce complications.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. Currently, the surgery-based procedure is still the most acceptable strategy for treating gastric cancer. As an important part of standardized management, appropriate specimen processing following surgery is receiving more and more attention across the world. With the release of guidelines and consensus on the specimens processing after gastric cancer surgery, several centers in China have started to follow this standard procedure. However, due to differences in understanding the consensus and the degree of surgery practice, the results are variable. This paper will focus on reviewing every aspect of the processing procedure, with the hope that the concept and skill involved can be popularized in clinical operations. Hopefully this will help promote the development of high-quality gastric cancer surgery in China.

Objective:To investigate the application value of intrathoracic Kamikawa anas-tomosis after laparoscopic proximal stomach and lower esophagus resection through the abdominal-left diaphragmatic approach for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.Methods:The retros-pective and descriptive method was conducted. The clinical data of 3 patients with adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction who were admitted to Changzhi People ′s Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from April to June 2022 were collected. All patients were male, aged 69 years, 60 years and 66 years, respectively. Patients underwent total laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy and lower esophageal resection with intrathoracic Kamikawa anastomosis through the abdominal-left diaph-ragmatic approach.Results:(1) Operative and postoperative situations. All the 3 patients success-fully underwent total laparoscopic proximal stomach and lower esophagus resection with intra-thoracic Kamikawa anastomosis through the abdominal-left diaphragmatic approach. The operation time was 5.3 hours, 5.3 hours and 4.8 hours, respectively. The digestive tract reconstruction time was 68 minutes, 62 minutes and 55 minutes, respectively. The volume of intraoperative blood loss was 80 mL, 30 mL and 100 mL, respectively. The postoperative first flatus time of 3 patients was on the third day after operation, and the first defecation time was on the postoperative fourth, sixth and third day. All the 3 patients underwent upper gastrointestinal imaging on the postoperative third and seventh day, and no anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis or contrast agent reflux occurred. The indwelling time of abdominal drainage tube was 6 days, 7 days and 6 days, respectively. The indwel-ling time of thoracic drainage tube was 3 days, 5 days and 4 days, respectively. The duration of post-operative hospital stay was 14 days, 14 days, and 16 days, respectively. (2) Postoperative complica-tions and pathological examination. Of the 3 patients, 1 patient had postoperative pleural effusion of Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ, and 1 patient had bilateral pleural effusion of Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ. The postoperative pathological examination of 3 patients showed high-moderately differentiated adeno-carcinoma, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, respectively. The tumor maximum diameter of 3 patients was 3.0 cm, 3.5 cm and 3.5 cm, respec-tively. The ratio of the number of lymph node metastasis to the number of lymph node dissection was 0/43, 1/34 and 6/44, respectively. Postoperative pathological staging showed stage T3N0M0, T3N1M0, T3N2M0, respectively. (3) Follow-up. There was no reflux of contrast agent or anastomotic stenosis in upper gastrointestinal imaging of the 3 positions at 3 and 12 months after operation. No reflux esophagitis of LA-B grade or above was found by electronic gastroscopy at 3 and 12 months after operation. Nutritional indicators and quality of life were good in 3 patients. No tumor recur-rence or metastasis was found in chest and abdominal computed tonography at 12 months after operation, and anti-reflux structure was found after reconstruction of digestive tract in thoracic cavity.Conclusion:Intrathoracic Kamikawa anastomosis after laparoscopic proximal stomach and lower esophagus resection through the abdominal-left diaphragmatic approach for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction is safe and feasible, with excellent anti-reflux effect.

Objective To investigate the methylation levels of the HIF-3α gene,as well as the expression of HIF-3α mRNA and DDIT4 mRNA in peripheral blood samples from pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM),and their association with pregnancy outcomes,aiming to provide insights for pregnancy monitoring and clinical diagnosis and treatment of GDM patients,thereby mitigating the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.Methods From March 2023 to March 2024,a total of 80 pregnant women with GDM were randomly selected at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University.They were divided into two groups based on glycemic control:GDM1(n=40)representing good glycemic control and GDM2(n=40)representing poor glycemic control.Addi-tionally,a control group consisting of 40 pregnant women without any pregnancy complications or comorbidities was included.Methylation-specific PCR was employed to determine the rate of HIF-3α methylation,while quantita-tive real-time PCR was used to assess the expressions of HIF-3α mRNA and DDIT4 mRNA.Adverse pregnancy outcomes were recorded across all three groups,and correlations between HIF-3α mRNA,DDIT4 mRNA,and various adverse pregnancy outcomes were analyzed using logistic regression analysis.Results Prior to pregnancy,GDM1 and GDM2 groups exhibited higher levels of FPG,HbA1c,TC,TG,LDL-C,FINS and HOMA-IR(P＜0.05),as well as lower levels of HOMA-β compared to the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes was also higher in both GDM groups than in the control group;this difference was significant for GDM2(P＜0.05)but not for GDM1(P＞0.05).Furthermore,methylation rates of the HIF-3α gene were higher in both GDM groups compared to controls while expression levels of HIF-3α and DDIT4 mRNA were lower;these differences were significant for the GDM2 group versus controls(P＜0.05)but not for the GDM1 group ver-sus controls(P＞0.05).Finally,all adverse pregnancy outcomes among women with gestational diabetes mellitus showed a negative correlation with expression levels of both HIF-3α and DDIT4 mRNA(r＜0,P＜0.05);moreover,these two mRNAs served as protective factors against such outcomes occurring(OR＜1,P＜0.05).Conclusion The higher methylation rate of HIF-3α and the decreased expression of HIF-3α and DDIT4 genes are associated with the development of GDM and may serve as significant factors contributing to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

As an increasing number of emerging anti-tumor drugs are approved and marketed,the imperative for clinical safety monitoring and risk information management has grown significantly.Drug-induced neuropathy associated with these drugs exhibit characteristics such as insidious onset,rapid progression,and challenging treatment,ultimately leading to treatment failures.Therefore,a comprehensive understanding of the risk of neuropathy induced by emerging anti-tumor drugs,coupled with risk surveillance and early warning,as well as management and reporting,can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of drug-related diseases.This paper provides a review of the neuropathy caused by emerging anti-tumor drugs,introduces the pharmacovigilance system and risk information management measures in clinical usage,aiming to provide a reference for guiding the rational clinical use and minimizing the incidence of drug-induced diseases.
