ObjectiveTo investigate the anatomical features of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the hepatic pedicle based on the Laennec’s capsule, as well as its application value in the development of extra-sheath dissection/occlusion clamp and precise hepatectomy. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the abdominal contrast-enhanced CT data of 100 patients without anatomical abnormalities of the hepatic pedicle in The General Hospital of Western Theater Command from January 2021 to June 2024. The Hisense CAS system combined with the 3D U-net deep learning algorithm was used for 3D reconstruction of the hepatic pedicle at the level of Laennec’s capsule, and the hepatic pedicle was measured in terms of the length, outer diameter, and angle of the main trunk and branches. An extra-sheath hepatic pedicle dissection/occlusion clamp was developed based on the above measurements, and a total of 30 patients scheduled for right hemihepatectomy were enrolled and randomly divided into device group and control group, with 15 patients in each group. The two groups were compared in terms of hepatic pedicle handling time, time of operation, intraoperative blood loss, and the incidence rate of bile duct injury. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsThe results of 3D reconstruction revealed four variants in the main trunk branches of the hepatic pedicle, with type Ⅰ (left-right branching) accounting for 88% (88/100), type Ⅱ (trifurcation type) accounting for 5% (5/100), type Ⅲ (right anterior branching) accounting for 5% (5/100), and type Ⅳ (special type) accounting for 2% (2/100). The outer diameter of the main hepatic pedicle was 24.10±6.16 mm, the length of the left main branch was 20.59±6.38 mm, and the length of the right main branch was 21.99±7.98 mm. Compared with the control group, the device group had significantly shorter hepatic pedicle handling time (14.10±1.30 minutes vs 17.50±2.00 minutes, t=-5.620, P=0.001) and time of operation (217.00±28.28 minutes vs 241.87±19.49 minutes, t=-2.804, P=0.009). The device group had a significantly lower incidence rate of bile duct injury than the control group (0 vs 20%, P=0.031). Conclusion3D reconstruction based on the Laennec’s capsule can accurately display the anatomical variations of the hepatic pedicle. The extra-sheath hepatic pedicle dissection/occlusion clamp developed based on such data can optimize the process of hepatic pedicle management and improve surgical safety, and therefore, it holds promise for clinical application.

Objective:To characterize the biomechanics of distal dynamic locking and distal static locking of proximal femur bionic nails (PFBN) in fixation of intertrochanteric fractures by a finite element analysis.Methods:The CT image data from the hip to the upper tibia from an adult male volunteer were used to establish a three-dimensional model of the femur by Mimics 20.0 and Geomagic 2013 which was processed further into a model of Evans type I intertrochanteric fracture by software NX 12.0. With reference to the internal fixation parameters commonly used, 4 models of PFBN fixation were established: distal single transverse nail dynamic locking (model A), single oblique nail dynamic locking (model B), single nail static locking (model C) and double nail dynamic locking (model D). Abaqus 6.14 software was used to load and analyze the internal fixation stresses and displacements of fracture ends.Results:Under a 2100N loading, the peak stress was located upon the main nail in the 4 models. The smallest peak stress upon the main nail was in Model D (161.9 MPa), decreased by 15.9% compared with model A (192.5 MPa), by 15.6% compared with model B (191.9 MPa), and by 0.9% compared with model C (163.3 MPa). The peak stress upon the fixation screw was the largest in model A (95.3 MPa), the smallest in model B (91.5 MPa), and 91.5 MPa and 92.2 MPa in models C and D, respectively. The overall displacements of the implants, in a descending order, were 10.14 mm in model A, 10.10 mm in model B, 10.09 mm in model C, and 10.05 mm in model D. Similarly, the displacements of fracture ends were 0.125 mm in model A, 0.121 mm in model B, 0.110 mm in model C, and 0.098 mm in model D.Conclusion:Compared with dynamic locking, distal static locking of PFBN provides a better mechanical stability and reduces stress concentration upon internal fixation.

Objective:To summarize the genotype and clinical characteristics of chylomicron retention disease (CMRD) caused by secretion associated Ras related GTPase 1B (SAR1B) gene variations.Methods:Clinical data and genetic testing results of 2 children with CMRD treated at Children′s Hospital of Fudan University and Jiangxi Provincial Children′s Hospital from May 2022 to July 2023 were summarized. To provide an overview of the clinical and genetic characteristics of CMRD caused by SAR1B gene variations, all of the literature was searched and reviewed from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, China VIP database, China Biology Medicine disc and PubMed database (up to January 2024) with "chylomicron retention disease" "Anderson disease" or "Anderson syndrome" as the search terms. All relevant literatures were reviewed to summarize the clinical and genetic features of CMRD caused by SAR1B gene variations.Results:One 11-year-old boy and one 4-month-old girl with CMRD. Both patients had lipid malabsorption, failure to thrive, decreased cholesterol, elevated transaminase and creatine kinase, and Vitamin E deficiency, with homozygous variations (c.224A>G) and compound heterozygous variations (c.224A>G and c.554G>T) in SAR1B gene, respectively. Case 1 was followed up for over a month, and he still occasionally experienced lower limb muscle pain. Case 2 was followed up for more than a year, and her had caught up to normal levels. Both patients had no other significant discomfort. Literature search retrieved 0 Chinese literature and 22 English literatures. In addition to the 2 cases reported in this study, a total of 51 patients were identified as CMRD caused by SAR1B gene variations. Twenty-one types of SAR1B variants 10 missense, 4 nonsense, 3 frameshift, 1 in-frame deletion, 1 splice, 1 gross deletion, and 1 gross insertion-deletion were found among the 51 CMRD cases. Among all the patients, 49 cases had lipid malabsorption (43 cases had diarrhea or fatty diarrhea, 17 cases had vomiting, and 12 cases had abdominal distension), 45 cases had lipid soluble Vitamin deficiency (43 cases had Vitamin E deficiency, 10 cases had Vitamin A deficiency, 9 case had Vitamin D deficiency, and 5 cases had Vitamin K deficiency), 35 cases had failure to thrive, 32 cases had liver involvement (32 cases had elevated transaminases, 5 cases had fatty liver, and 3 cases had hepatomegaly), 29 cases had white small intestinal mucosa under endoscopy, and 17 cases had elevated creatine kinase, 14 cases had neuropathy, 5 cases had ocular lesions, 2 cases had acanthocytosis, 1 case had decreased cardiac ejection fraction, and 1 case was symptom-free.Conclusions:Early infancy failure to thrive and lipid malabsorption are common issues for CMRD patients. The laboratory tests are characterized by hypocholesterolemia with or without fat-soluble Vitamin deficiency, elevated liver enzymes and (or) creatine kinase. Currently, missense variations are frequent among the primarily homozygous SAR1B genotypes that have been described.

Objective To investigate the effect of the expression of miRNA-106b-5p on the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who received targeted therapy. Methods A total of 273 NSCLC patients who underwent targeted therapy from January 2012 to October 2013 in Dalian University Affiliated Xinhua Hospital were included. Fasting venous blood samples of all the hospitalized patients within 24 hours were collected, real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to measure the expression of miRNA-106b-5p, and their survival status were followed up. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for survival analysis. Cox regression model was used to make multiple-factor analysis. Results There were 112 males and 161 females among 273 patients. The age was (61 ±12) years old. There were 40 patients having family history of cancer, 70 patients having smoking history. According to TNM stage, 77 patients were classified into stageⅠ, 39 patients were classified into stage Ⅱ, 107 patients were classified into stage Ⅲ and 50 patients were classified into stage Ⅳ. The relative expression level of miRNA-106b-5p was 1.72±0.67. Until October 2018, 27 out of 273 NSCLC patients lost follow-up. Of 246 follow-up patients, 185 patients (75.2%) died. The results of single factor survival analysis showed that family history of cancer (HR= 1.16, 95% CI 1.07-1.31), smoking history (HR= 2.17, 95% CI 2.08-3.26), advanced differentiation degree (HR=1.63, 95%CI 1.43-2.19), higher TNM stage (HR= 2.09, 95%CI 1.75-2.17), and high expression of miRNA-106b-5p (HR=2.37, 95%CI 1.63-3.63) were associated with the poor prognosis of NSCLC patients treated with targeted therapy. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that family history of cancer (HR= 1.15, 95%CI 1.09-1.27), smoking history (HR= 2.11, 95%CI 2.08-2.82), higher differentiation degree (HR= 1.42, 95%CI 1.31-1.89), higher TNM stage (HR= 2.07, 95% CI 1.83-1.95), higher miRNA-106b-5p expression (HR=2.21, 95%CI 1.81-3.25) were the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of NSCLC patients treated with targeted therapy. Conclusion The high expression of miRNA-106b-5p is associated with the increased risk of death among NSCLC patients treated with targeted therapy.
