Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy of robotic versus laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 99 patients of right colon cancer who were admitted to Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were collected. There were 50 males and 49 females, aged 69(range, 26?89)years. Of the 99 patients, 41 patients undergoing robotic-assisted right hemicolectomy were divided into the robotic group, and 58 patients undergoing laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy were divided into the lapa-roscopic group. Patients received robotic-assisted or laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy operated by the same major surgeon. Observation indicators:(1) propensity score matching status and com-parison of clinical data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) intraoperative and postoperative conditions.Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the nonparametic rank sum test. Propensity score matching was performed using the 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method. The caliper value was set as 0.1. Results:(1) Propensity score matching status and comparison of clinical data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 99 patients, 82 patients were successfully matched, with 41 cases in each of the robotic group and the laparoscopic group. After propensity score matching, the elimination of history of abdominal operation confounding bias ensured comparability. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions. After propensity score matching, the operation time of the robotic group was 215(range, 130?340)minutes, the volume of intraoperative blood loss was 50(range, 10?400)mL, the number of lymph node dissected was 21(range, 5?55), the number of intensive care unit stay was 15, time to postoperative first flatus was 3(range, 1?12)days, time to postoperative first food intake was 4(range, 2?14)days, duration of postoperative hospital stay was 8(range, 5?25)days. The above indicators of the laparoscopic group were 210(range, 140?370)minutes, 50(range, 5?150)mL, 19(range, 5?34),20, 3(range, 0?9)days, 5(range, 2?10)days, 8(range, 6?17)days, respectively. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between patients of the two groups ( Z=?0.94, ?1.87, ?1.32, χ2=1.25, Z=0.13, ?0.83, ?0.65, P>0.05). There was no patient converted to open operation in the robotic group, versus 1 patient converted to open operation in the laparoscopic group, showing no significant difference between patients of the two groups ( P>0.05). There were 6 cases in the robotic group and 4 cases in the laparoscopic group with complications, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.46, P>0.05). Both groups of patients achieved R 0 resection and had no readmission 30 days after surgery. The hospital expense was (11.0±1.8)×10 4 yuan of the robotic group, versus (9.0±1.7)×10 4 yuan of the laparoscopic group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( t=?5.27, P<0.05). Conclusion:Robot-assisted right hemicolectomy is non inferior to laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy in safety and efficacy, but with higher hospitalization costs.

Objective:To construct and validate a clinical model combining CYP11B2 gene polymorphisms with clinical parameters to predict complete postoperative hypertension remission in primary aldosteronism patients.Methods:The clinical data of a total of 116 patients with primary aldosteronism who underwent unilateral adrenalectomy from April 2018 to August 2024 were retrospectively included. There were 63 males and 53 females,with a body mass index(BMI)of(25.50 ± 2.03)kg/m 2. Genomic DNA was extracted from venous blood leukocytes before surgery,and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms(PCR-RFLP)were used to detect CYP11B2(rs1799998)promoter region 344(C > T)base substitution. The follow-up duration was more than 6 months,with the following parameters recorded at the last follow-up:plasma aldosterone,renin,serum potassium,and sodium levels. Blood pressure progression and antihypertensive medication usage were also assessed. The postoperative outcome was determined according to the Primary Aldosteronism Surgical Outcome score(PASO)for primary aldosteronism,and the specific criteria were as follows. ① Clinical complete remission:the patient's blood pressure returned to normal(< 140/90 mmHg,1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa)and all antihypertensive drugs were discontinued;②Partial clinical remission:blood pressure returns to normal,and the number or dose of antihypertensive drugs is reduced compared with before;③Clinical non-remission:blood pressure does not drop and antihypertensive drugs do not change or increase compared with before surgery. Patients were divided into complete and incomplete remission groups. The chi-square test was used for univariate analysis,followed by binary logistic forward conditional regression for multivariate analysis,and a variety of machine learning algorithms such as random forest,logistic regression,support vector machine and gradient lifter were integrated,and the results of multivariate analysis were included to construct a postoperative blood pressure outcome model,and the predictive performance of the model was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve and clinical decision curve. Results:The PCR-RFLP detection results of 116 cases showed the genotype distribution of CYP11B2(344C > T)(rs1799998)as follows:CC type in 50 cases(43.1%),CT type in 46 cases(39.7%),and TT type in 20 cases(17.3%). There were 74 cases in the complete remission group and 42 cases in the incomplete remission group,and the rate of complete remission with hypertension at the end of the operation was 63.8%. Univariate analysis showed that the the differences between complete remission group and incomplete remission group in body mass index[(24.27 ± 2.90)kg/m 2 vs.(26.98 ± 3.17)kg/m 2, P<0.001],preoperative hypertension grade(grade 1/2/3:29/29/16 cases vs. 9/13/20 cases, P = 0.012),preoperative antihypertensive drugs(0/1/≥ 2:25/32/17 cases vs. 7/15/20 cases, P = 0.016),and CYP11B2(344C > T)(CC/TT + CT:39/35 cases vs. 11/31 cases, P = 0.006)were statistically significant. Multivariate analysis showed that the type of preoperative antihypertensive drugs[≥ 2: OR = 5.26(95% CI 1.12?24.61, P = 0.016;1: OR = 4.55(95% CI 1.23?22.47), P = 0.025]was the strongest independent predictor,followed by CYP11B2(344C > T)[ OR = 4.02(95% CI 1.16?13.82), P = 0.028]and BMI[ OR = 3.96(95% CI 2.26?6.92), P < 0.001]. Comparing the receiver operating feature(ROC)curves of the four types of machine learning models,the best model was the support vector machine model with an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.88(95% CI 0.82?0.95),followed by the gradient elevator model of 0.83(95% CI 0.76?0.91),the logistic regression model of 0.78(95% CI 0.68?0.88),and the random forest model of 0.77(95% CI 0.68?0.86). The optimal threshold of the Yoden index of the support vector machine model was 0.588,with a sensitivity of 78.5% and a specificity of 86.5%. The clinical decision curve and calibration curve show that the support vector machine model has a higher net benefit and acceptable stability and reliability. Conclusions:The support vector machine model incorporating CYP11B2 gene polymorphisms,BMI,and types of preoperative antihypertensive medications could effectively predict postoperative hypertension remission in primary aldosteronism patients,providing new evidence for personalized treatment strategies

The incidence of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) is increasing at home and abroad, and surgical treatment is still the main treatment. At present, subtypes of AEG mainly include Siewert and Nishi types. According to the location and stage of the tumor, the appropriate surgical approaches and methods are different, and with the application of minimally invasive technologies such as laparoscopy and robot assisted surgery, there is a certain impact on the occurrence of postoperative complications. However, the postoperative complications of AEG have not been explained in detail. This article will review and summarize the research progress of different surgical methods for AEG postoperative complications, in order to provide some reference for clinical treatment.

Objective To explore the effect of Tuina combined with treadmill training on nerve regeneration after sciatic nerve transection. Methods Ninty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal group (n=32), model group (n=32) and treatment group (n=32). The sciatic nerve was transected and the epineurium was sutured in the latter two groups. The treatment group was given Tuina manipulation and treadmill training once a day. Eight rats from each group were detected their sciatic nerve conduction velocity (NCV), the number of axons and Schwann cells (SCs) two, three, four and eight weeks after intervention. Results Compared with the model group, the NCV accelerated in the treatment group four and eight weeks after intervention (P<0.05); while the number of axons was significantly different two and four weeks after intervention (P<0.05), and the number of SCs was not very different between the treatment group and the model group after intervention (P>0.05). Conclusion Tuina combined with treadmill training may promote the regeneration of peripheral nerve after injury in rats.
