ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for postpancreatectomy acute pancreatitis （PPAP） after minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy （MIPD） and their association with major complications， to improve the understanding of PPAP and postoperative pancreatic fistula （POPF）， and to reduce the incidence rates of PPAP and POPF. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 114 patients who underwent MIPD in Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery， The First Affiliated Hospital of University of South China， from March 2015 to December 2023， and the definition of PPAP and its diagnostic criteria provided by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery were used to determine the presence or absence of PPAP. The independent samples t-test or the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups， and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the Dunn-test was used for further comparison between two groups.； the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups.， and the Bonferroni-test was used for further comparison between two groups. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for PPAP after MIPD. ResultsOf all 114 patients undergoing MIPD， 27 （23.7%） experienced PPAP. The multivariate analysis showed that main pancreatic duct diameter ≤3 mm （odds ratio ［OR］=5.083， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.703 — 15.172， P=0.004）， soft pancreatic texture （OR=5.925， 95%CI： 1.986 — 17.677， P=0.001）， and C-reactive protein ≥180 mg/L on day 1 after surgery （OR=5.419， 95%CI： 1.586 — 18.513， P=0.007） were independent risk factors for the onset of PPAP after MIPD. Clinical analyses showed that the patients with PPAP tended to have significantly higher incidence rates of POPF， peritoneal infection， Clavien-Dindo grade 3/4 complications， discharge with tube， and 90-day postoperative death （χ²=5.676， 5.460， 9.863， 5.439， and 4.207， all P<0.05）. ConclusionMain pancreatic duct diameter， pancreatic texture， and C-reactive protein on day 1 after surgery are closely associated with the onset of PPAP after MIPD， and PPAP can lead to other postoperative complications and even death.

Objective To compare postoperative major adverse events in patients with triple-vessel disease undergoing complete versus incomplete revascularization during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on patient data from Tianjin Chest Hospital who underwent primary isolated CABG surgery between 2019 and 2020. Patients were divided into a complete revascularization group and an incomplete revascularization group based on the revascularization status. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used for risk adjustment. Results A total of 1 419 patients were included in the study, with 1 086 (76.5%) undergoing complete revascularization. IPTW analysis showed that complete revascularization could reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events [HR=0.596, 95%CI (0.404, 0.880), P=0.010] and angina [HR=0.560, 95%CI (0.377, 0.823), P=0.004]. Conclusion In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, complete revascularization may be associated with improved patient outcomes.

Objective:To assess the predictive value of the percentage of Gleason pattern 4 (G4%) in prostate biopsy for adverse pathology and biochemical recurrence.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who underwent radical prostatectomy in our institution between January 2019 and December 2023, and included those who were diagnosed with ISUP 2-3 cancer at biopsy. A total of 109 patients were included in this study. The average age of patients was (67.40±6.11) years, and the average BMI of patients was (25.36±2.97) kg/m 2. 49 Cases (45.0%) had a PI-RADS score of 5, and the median prostate volume was 32.60 (24.57, 45.63) ml. The median of most recent tPSA before biopsy was 9.76 (6.89, 12.95) ng/ml, the median PSAD was 0.28 (0.17, 0.44) ng/ml 2, and the median f/tPSA was 0.11 (0.08, 0.16). Clinical T 2b or higher stage was found in 84 cases (77.1%). The total biopsy core length was (22.91±5.18) cm, with a median of 24 (20, 24) biopsy cores and a median of 6 (4, 9) positive cores. Gleason score 3+ 4 was found in 52 cases (47.7%), and Gleason score 4+ 3 in 57 cases (52.3%). Cribriform was present in 30 cases (27.5%). G4% was calculated based on the proportion of Gleason grade 4 tumor relative to total tumor, tumor proportion relative to total tissue, and tissue length. Patients were divided into high-G4% (≥2.45%) and low-G4% (<2.45%) groups based on the median G4% value, with 55 and 54 cases, respectively. No significant differences were observed in baseline characteristics between the two groups ( P>0.05). The main risk factor of adverse pathology was analyzed by logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC) were performed. Patients were further stratified by the G4% cutoff value from ROC, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to compare biochemical recurrence free survival (BCRFS) between groups. The main risk factor affecting BCRFS was analyzed by Cox regression. Adverse pathology was defined as postoperative Gleason score ≥4+ 3 or pathological stage ≥T 3a. Results:Adverse pathology occurred in 44 (80.0%) high-G4% and 16 (29.6%) low-G4% patients ( P<0.01). Multivariate analysis identified G4% as an independent risk factor for adverse pathology ( OR=1.23, 95% CI 1.02-1.50, P=0.033). The highest ROC AUC value was seen for G4% (0.799), significantly outperforming Gleason score (0.799 vs. 0.641, P=0.003), tPSA (0.799 vs. 0.615, P=0.003), PSAD (0.799 vs. 0.679, P=0.038), positive cores (0.799 vs. 0.677, P=0.009), clinical T stage (0.799 vs. 0.607, P=0.001) and cribriform (0.799 vs. 0.639, P=0.001). The G4% cutoff value for predicting biochemical recurrence was 10.97%. The median BCRFS was significantly higher in the low G4% (<10.97%) group than that in the high G4% (≥10.97%) group (55 vs. 28 months, P=0.002). Cumulative recurrence free survival rates at 1 and 3 years were 94.6% vs. 74.1% and 78.0% vs. 47.6%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicates that G4% was an independent risk factor affecting BCRFS ( HR=1.11, 95% CI 1.00-1.23, P=0.041). Conclusions:For patients with ISUP 2-3 nmPCa, a higher G4% in biopsy specimens demonstrates strong predictive ability for adverse pathology and biochemical recurrence, outperforming traditional clinical indicators such as Gleason score and PSA.

Objectives:This study aimed to explore the association between perceived mental stress (MS), lymphocyte subset variations, and coronary lesion severity in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods:Patients with CAD were enrolled in this study from September 2023 to May 2024. Perceived Stress Scale-14 (PSS-14) was used to evaluate MS during the last 1 month. Lymphocyte subsets were analyzed, including the percentage and absolute counts of CD3 +, CD3 +CD4 +, CD3 +CD8 +, CD3 -CD19 +, CD3 -CD56 +16 +, and the Th/Ts ratio. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 24.0. Results:This study recruited patients with 323 CAD, with an average age of 61 (56, 68) years, including 203 males and 120 females. According to the PSS-14, a score of 14-42 and 43-70 were categorized as normal and increased MS, respectively. Patients with CAD with increased MS had significantly higher Gensini scores than those with normal MS [37(19,64) vs. 28(12,50), Z=-2.19, P=0.029]. Male CAD patients with increased MS exhibited significantly higher Gensini scores [39(20, 58) vs. 26(12, 45), Z=-2.37, P=0.018], levels of CD3 +CD8 +%[28.3%(23.6%,36.6%) vs. 25.9%(21.0%,32.4%), Z=-2.05, P=0.041], and CD3 +CD8 +absolute value [485 (346, 675) vs. 396 (309, 510) cells/μl, Z=-2.55, P=0.011] than those with normal MS. In male patients with CAD, a positive correlation was observed between Gensini scores (correlation coefficient: 0.181, P=0.011), PSS-14 scores, and CD3 +CD8 +absolute value (correlation coefficient: 0.162, P=0.038). Conclusion:This study reveals a positive correlation between MS and coronary stenosis severity, with notable sex differences. In male patients with CAD, higher levels of MS are associated with more severe coronary stenosis. The potential underlying mechanism may involve the regulation of lymphocyte subsets .

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) algorithm combined with a dual-low protocol (low radiation dose and low contrast medium dose) for thoracoabdominal aortic CT angiography (CTA).Methods:This cross-sectional study prospectively enrolled 56 patients suspected of aortic diseases who underwent aortic CTA at China-Japan Friendship Hospital from June 2023 to June 2024. All patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (28 cases) underwent CTA with a tube voltage of 100 kVp, automatic tube current modulation (noise index=10), and a contrast agent dose of 80 ml (flow rate 5 ml/s), with images reconstructed using the three-dimensional adaptive iterative dose reduction algorithm (AIDR). Group B (28 cases) underwent CTA with a tube voltage of 80 kVp, automatic tube current modulation (noise index=25), and a contrast agent dose of 40 ml (flow rate 3.5 ml/s), with images reconstructed using either the deep learning reconstruction algorithm-Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE subgroup) or the AIDR (AIDR subgroup). Two physicians evaluated the image quality of the three groups subjectively and objectively. Objective evaluation metrics included CT values, image noise (SD), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) at the ascending aorta, carina-level descending aorta, celiac trunk-origin abdominal aorta, and common iliac bifurcation abdominal aorta carina. Subjective evaluation metrics included image quality and noise scores. Comparisons among the three datasets (Group A, AiCE subgroup, AIDR subgroup) were performed using one-way ANOVA or the Kruskal-Wallis test, with appropriate post-hoc tests for pairwise comparisons.Results:No significant differences were observed in CT values of the ascending aorta, descending aorta, and abdominal aorta between Group A and the AiCE subgroup or the AIDR subgroup ( P0.05). However, significant overall differences were found in SD, SNR, and CNR values for the ascending aorta, descending aorta, and abdominal aorta ( P0.05). Pairwise comparisons revealed that, except for no significant differences in SD, SNR, and CNR values of the ascending and descending aorta between Group A and the AiCE subgroup, and no significant difference in SNR values of the ascending and abdominal aorta between Group A and the AIDR subgroup ( P0.05), all other intergroup comparisons showed statistically significant differences ( P0.05). Significant overall differences were also observed in image quality and noise scores between Group A and the AiCE and AIDR subgroups ( P0.05). Except for no significant differences in image quality and noise scores between Group A and the AiCE subgroup ( P0.05), all other pairwise comparisons showed statistically significant differences ( P0.05). Conclusions:The application of deep learning reconstruction algorithm combined with a dual-low protocol in thoracoabdominal aortic CTA can reduce radiation dose and contrast agent dose while maintaining diagnostic image quality, demonstrating significant clinical value for widespread adoption.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of vonoprazan fumarate in the treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease（LPRD） evaluated by the Chinese version of the RSS-12 scale. Methods:A total of 100 LPRD patients treated in the otolaryngology-head and neck surgery outpatient clinic of our hospital were randomly divided into two groups（50 cases each）. The observation group was treated with vonoprazan fumarate（20 mg, once daily）, and the control group was treated with esomeprazole enteric-coated capsules（20 mg, twice daily） for 12 weeks. The selected observation indicators in this study included RSI, the Chinese version of RSS-12, and RFS scores before and after treatment. Results:Prior to treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the Chinese version of RSS-12, RSI, and RFS between the two groups（P>0.05）. After 8 and 12 weeks of antacid treatment, both the Chinese version of RSS-12 and RSI significantly decreased in both group （P<0.05）. The changes in symptoms were particularly noticeable between 0-8 weeks of treatment according to the Chinese version of RSS-12 and RSI. After 12 weeks of treatment, the RFS scores significantly decreased compared to pretreatment levels （P<0.05）. After 12 weeks of antacid treatment, according to the Chinese version of RSS-12, 80% of patients in the observation group showed a good therapeutic response, compared to 64% in the control group; according to RSI, 90% of patients in the observation group showed a good therapeutic response, compared to 84% in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the treatment effect between the two groups after 12 weeks of treatment（P>0.05）. Conclusion:Vonoprazan fumarate can significantly improve the symptoms and signs of laryngopharyngeal reflux, and their treatment effect is not inferior to proton pump inhibitors. Compared with RSI, the Chinese version of RSS-12 can serve as a new screening tool for clinical diagnosis of LPRD in China.

Pancreatic cancer is highly malignant and difficult to treat. The implantation of radioactive seed has opened up a new treatment option for pancreatic cancer. Although the implantation of radioactive seed in the treatment of pancreatic cancer has achieved good results, due to the special anatomical location of pancreatic cancer and the dense distribution of important tissues and organs around the tumor, the operation of seed implantation for pancreatic cancer has become a clinical treatment challenge. We applied the method of 3D printing template navigation and constraining the direction of the puncture needle. The puncture needle followed the safe puncture path designed in the preoperative treatment planning system, effectively avoiding important tissues and organs, and implanted radioactive seeds in the tumor. The operation of seed implantation was simplified, homogenized and made safe. In this group of cases, the proportion of successful particle implantation using 3D printing template navigation was 89.5%. All cases met the preoperative treatment plan in postoperative dose verification and achieved the purpose of radioactive seed implantation treatment.
