Pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD)remains one of the most complex and high-risk procedures in abdominal surgery,with clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula(CR-POPF)being a significant determinant of morbidity and mortality.Recent evidence suggests that merely modifying the pancreatoenteric anastomosis technique fails to achieve a consistent reduction in fistula incidence.The Department of Pancreatic Surgery at Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University,has developed a prophylactic dual biliary-pancreatic diversion system that simultaneously drains bile and pancreatic juice during PD.This system provides dual protection through"decompression and separation,"preventing premature activation of pancreatic enzymes and reducing anastomotic stress.This article introduces the system's conceptual framework,design principles,and clinical application,summarizes ongoing multicenter randomized controlled trials,and discusses key issues,including indication selection,intraoperative management,external drainage care,and patient compliance.Furthermore,it outlines future directions in risk stratification,antimicrobial stewardship,intelligent drainage,and biomaterial innovation.As a conceptual and translational advance,this dual diversion strategy may redefine the paradigm of postoperative complication prevention after PD.

The comparison between traditional Chinese medicine Jinzhen oral liquid (JZOL) and Western medicine in treating children with acute bronchitis (AB) showed encouraging outcomes. This trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of the JZOL for improving cough and expectoration in children with AB. 480 children were randomly assigned to take JZOL or ambroxol hydrochloride and clenbuterol hydrochloride oral solution for 7 days. The primary outcome was time-to-cough resolution. The median time-to-cough resolution in both groups was 5.0 days and the antitussive onset median time was only 1 day. This randomized controlled trial showed that JZOL was not inferior to cough suppressant and phlegm resolving western medicine in treating cough and sputum and could comprehensively treat respiratory and systemic discomfort symptoms. Combined with clinical trials, the mechanism of JZOL against AB was uncovered by network target analysis, it was found that the pathways in TRP channels like IL-1β/IL1R/TRPV1/TRPA1, NGF/TrkA/TRPV1/TRPA1, and PGE2/EP/PKA/TRPV1/TRPA1 might play important roles. Animal experiments further confirmed that inflammation and the immune regulatory effect of JZOL in the treatment of AB were of vital importance and TRP channels were the key mechanism of action.

Objective:The objective of this research is to study the prevalence and risk factors of psychosocial and behavioral problems in children and adolescents of different ages and genders to provide a scientific foundation for more targeted psychological interventions and social support in the future.Methods:From April 21 to May 31, 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted using a stratified random sampling method in five cities (Beijing City, Changchun City, Baicheng City, Shenyang City, Hohhot City) across four provinces in Northern China (Beijing, Jilin, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia). The study was conducted using an online questionnaire among children and adolescents aged 6-16 years. Self-made social and life characteristics questionnaire and Achenbach Child Behavior Check List (CBCL) (for parent) was utilized to investigate the prevalence of psychosocial and behavioral problems and relative influencing factors. Using stepwise regression analysis to screen potential factors affecting the psychosocial and behavioral health of children and adolescents and logistic regression analysis was employed to analyze the risk factors associated while controlling for confounding variables.Results:A total of 10 492 questionnaires were distributed in this study. Among the 8 593 valid questionnaires collected, there were 4 385 males (51.03%) and 4 208 females (48.97%). The sample consisted of 3 348 children aged 6-11 years old and 5 245 children aged 12-16 years old. Out of these participants, 688 individuals (8.01%) were detected positive. In the 6-11 age group, 1 762 boys were assessed, revealing 142 positive cases (8.06%), while 1 586 girls were assessed, with 84 positive cases (5.30%). In the 12-16 age group, 2 623 boys were evaluated, resulting in 237 positive cases (9.04%), and 2 622 girls were evaluated, with 225 positive cases (8.58%). Overall, boys had a higher prevalence rate than girls did, with older age groups showing higher rates compared to younger ones. Logistic regression analysis identified six significant risk factors: parent-child conflict ( OR=4.207, 95% CI: 3.583-4.940), irregular diet patterns( OR=1.862, 95% CI: 1.566-2.213), parental mental illness history( OR=5.381, 95% CI: 2.673-10.83), sleep disorders( OR=4.664, 95% CI: 4.194-5.187), and excessive screen exposure( OR=1.863, 95% CI: 1.577-2.200) were found to be risk factors; whereas having more close friends ( OR=0.510, 95% CI: 0.431-0.603) acted as a protective factor. Conclusions:Psychosocial and behavioral problems in children and adolescents will change with social conditions, with continuous attention required to prevent risk factors. Precise intervention and integral support should be implemented by families, schools and society to provide more accurate protection for children and adolescents.

Objective:To investigate the treatment and prognosis of patients of G3 non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) with proliferation index of Ki-67 <55%.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 15 G3 non-functional pNETs patients with proliferation index of Ki-67<55% who were admitted to Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from April 2014 to April 2020 were collected. There were 11 males and 4 females, aged (58±10)years. All patients underwent radical resection of the primary lesion. Obser-vation indicators: (1) treatment; (2) postoperative pathological characteristics; (3) follow-up. Measure-ment 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. The Pearson correlation analysis was used to verify the correlation between variables. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curve and calculate survival rate. Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Treatment. All 15 G3 nonfunctional pNETs patients underwent radical resection of the primary lesion of pancreas, including 5 cases receiving pancreati-coduodenectomy, 10 cases receiving distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy. There were 5 patients with simultaneous liver oligometastasis who underwent combined segmental (lobectomy) hepatectomy. All 15 patients had negative tumor margin, and the operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 15 patients was 120(90,210)minutes and 200(50,300)mL, respectively. None of patient had complications ≥Ⅲ grade of the Clavien-Dindo classification during the postoperative 30 days. Of the 15 patients, there were 5 cases receiving comprehensive treatment based on CAPTEM chemo-therapy (temozolomide combined with capecitabine), 2 cases receiving local interventional therapy, 2 cases receiving CAPTEM chemotherapy, 1 case receiving local interventional therapy combined with molecular targeted therapy, 1 case receiving local interventional therapy combined with long acting somatostatin therapy, 1 cases receiving long acting somatostatin therapy combined with molecular targeted therapy, and 3 cases without postoperative treatment. (2) Postoperative patholo-gical characteristics. The tumor diameter of 15 patients was 3.3(range, 0.5-6.0)cm. There were 2 cases with tumor diameter <2 cm, 13 cases with tumor diameter ≥2 cm. The number of lymph nodes dissected and number of lymph nodes metastatic was 6(4, 10) and 2(1,3) in 15 patients, respectively, including 12 cases with positive lymph node metastasis. Of the 15 patients, there were 5 cases with tumor invasion of adjacent organ, 5 cases with simultaneous liver metastasis, 8 cases with perineural invasion and 8 cases with vascular invasion. There were 3, 7, and 5 patients with stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲ, and stage Ⅳ of pathological TNM staging, respectively. The proliferation index of Ki-67 and mitotic count was 32%±9% and (11±9)/10 high power field in the primary lesion of 15 patients, respectively, and there was no correlation between proliferation index of Ki-67 and mitotic count ( P>0.05). (3) Follow-up. All 15 patients were followed up after surgery for (55±24)months. The median survival time of 15 patients was 78(range, 43-113)months, with 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rate as 100%, 92%, 62%, respectively. During the follow up, 9 of the 15 patients underwent tumor recurrence, with the recurrence time as 20(14, 44)months. There were 8 patients died of tumor recurrence or metastasis. The median survival time was 86(range, 51-120)months in 5 patients receiving comprehensive treatment based on CAPTEM chemotherapy, versus 53(range, 45-60)months in 10 patients receiving other postoperative adjuvant therapy or without postoperative treatment, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=4.21, P<0.05). Conclusion:The prognosis of patients of G3 nonfunctional pNETs with proliferation index of Ki-67<55% undergoing radical resection combined with postoperative comprehensive treatment based on CAPTEM chemotherapy in better than that of patients receiving other postoperative adjuvant therapy or without posto-perative treatment.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a major operation of abdominal surgery, with high risk, complex operation, more complications and high mortality. Pancreatic fistula is the main cause of death after PD. Due to its complexity and obstinacy, pancreatic fistula has become the top challenge of pancreatic surgery. The authors review the relevant literature and summarize the prevention and management of pancreatic fistula after PD, such as the optimization strategies for pancreatic anastomosis, the use of external stents, prophylactic drains in surgical field, the applica-tion of somatostatin and its analogues, and whole-course nutrition management, based on the precise and comprehensive opinion, in order to provide reference for improving the prevention and treatment of pancreatic fistula after PD.

Immunotherapies targeting immune checkpoints have undergone rapid evolution, and have been preliminary explored in treatment of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (GEP-NEN) in recent years. However, their potential to deliver tangible clinical benefits remains uncertain. In this article, we systematically reviewed the current status and efficacy of clinical trials, which evaluated immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) as monotherapy or in dual-ICI therapy for GEP-NEN. Despite lacking substantial breakthroughs in GEP-NEN treatment, ICI demonstrated some antitumor activity and safety in treating recurrent or metastatic GEP-NEN, albeit with a generally low objective response rate (ORR). The ORR of ICI in GEP-NEN treatment exhibited a negative correlation with tumor differentiation, suggesting that poorly diffe-rentiated gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (GEP-NEC) might achieve better clinical responses. Disease control rate of dual-ICI therapy was higher than that of monotherapy. However, dual-ICI also got more severe side effects. Given the rarity of mismatch repair gene defects and high microsatellite instability (dMMR/MSI-H) in GEP-NEN, patients with high tumor mutational burden (TMB-H≥10 muts/Mb) could get potentially benefit from ICI therapy. In the future, it is expected to further explore the synergistic combined application of ICI with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and antiangiogenic drugs in GEP-NEN, which may enhance its antitumor efficacy. Clinically, the benefit groups of ICI immunotherapy should be evaluated comprehensively according to pathological grading, immune markers, disease progression, and patient's physical condition.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) is one of the gastrointestinal malignancies of significantly heterogeneous, pathologically classified into well differentiated pancreatic neuro-endocrine tumors (pNETs) and poorly differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas. The prognosis and treatment response of pNETs are primely determined by tumor-intrinsic biolo-gical behavior. Accordingly, surgeons need to operate debulking surgery for low-risk patients, as well as implement adjuvant therapies for those at high-risk of relapse and metastasis after curative resection. Notably, as to two distinct subtypes of patients who suffer primary tumor with diameter less than 2 cm and functional pNETs, oncological benefits and functionally symptomatic control should be considered when formulating surgical strategies. In recent years, advances in next-generation sequencing and organoid technologies have provided practical tools for revealing the gene mutations and tumor microenvironment of pNETs. The four signalling pathways, including mTOR signalling, histone modification, altered telomere length and DNA damage repair pathways, are related to the occurrence and development of pNETs and can be used for the personalization precision therapy of pNETs and guiding the development of new drugs. Empirical therapy and clinical trial studies of pNETs are a continuum of contradictions. Therefore, clinicians need to summarize the rules in treatment and develop disciplines in the summary. Based on relevant literatures, the authors explore the hot issues related to pNENs in recent years, in order to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of the repair and reconstruction of severe foot trauma by microsurgical methods.Methods:Patients with severe foot trauma were admitted to Xinhua Hospital (Chongming), Affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and Taizhou Hospital, Affiliated with Wenzhou Medical University in Zhejiang Province from November 2008 to October 2019. All patients were treated with orthotopic replantation using microsurgical anastomosis in emergency and precise microsurgical reconstruction in the second stage. A retrospective analysis of the clinical effect of the reconstructed appearance and function was performed. The evaluation and surgical design were carried out according to the characteristics of the injury site, range, plane, degree, etc., and adequate debridement and orthotopic replantation of residual tissue was performed under the microscope in emergency. Then regular follow-up was conducted to evaluate the postoperative efficacy, the degree of foot swelling, and the observation of foot activity and function.Results:A total of 23 patients with severe foot trauma were enrolled, including 15 males and 8 females, aged from 17 to 69 years old, with an average of 38.5 years old. Among them were the left foot in 10 cases and the right foot in 13 cases. 15 of the 23 patients survived orthotopic replantation. 2 cases of medial plantar skin necrosis were treated by skin graft in the second stage, 1 case of heel skin necrosis and 2 cases of anterior plantar skin necrosis with infection were repaired by flaps, and 3 cases of dorsal skin necrosis with infection combined with bone defect were repaired by flaps or osteocutaneous flap. After the operation, 23 patients were followed up for 6 to 48 months, with an average of 18.5 months. The wounds were completely healed, the color and elasticity were close to the surrounding normal skin, and there was no apparent swelling deformity on foot. The sensory function of the foot was all restored to grades S3-S4, with a small scar, and they walked freely without noticeable limping. The efficacy was evaluated according to a survival situation, color elasticity, appearance and morphology, donor scar, skin sensation, infection control, and patient recognition. 16 cases were satisfied with the outcomes, and 7 reported moderate. Skin swelling rating in the early stage was 1st degree in 3 cases, 2nd degree in 10 cases, 3rd degree in 8 cases, 4th degree in 2 cases; in the later stage was 1st degree in 15 cases, 2nd degree in 6 cases, 3rd degree in 2 cases. Foot function is assessed by the degree of postoperative pain, function of flexion and extension, degree of deformity, and walking ability, which is excellent in 3 cases, good in 13 cases, general in 7 cases, with a reasonable rate of about 69.6%(16/23).Conclusions:The microsurgical technique is one of the most effective methods to repair and reconstruct the function and appearance of the foot with severe trauma for now.
