Objective To investigate the clinical application of three-dimensional magnetic resonance(MR)visualization in difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods A total of 100 patients with gallstones who were admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Shantou from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected as research objects.The patients met the criteria of"difficult gallbladder"and were assigned to two groups according to random number table.The control group(n=50)were treated with routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy.In the observation group(n=50),laparoscopic cholecystectomy was assisted by MR 3D visualization model.Surgical indexes,pain within 1 day after surgery,risk of intraoperative trauma,and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results Surgical indexes and recovery indexes in the observation group were superior to those in the control group(P<0.05).The visual analogue scale(VAS)score within 1 d after operation was significantly lower than that before operation in both groups,and the improvement of VAS score in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of gallbladder rupture(0.00%vs 10.00%)and liver margin injury(0.00%vs 8.00%)in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(2.00%vs 14.00%,P<0.05).Conclusion The construction of MR 3D visualization model can provide clearer surgical field for laparoscopic cholecystectomy,and enable the operator to clarify the anatomical structure of the gallbladder,avoid surgical trauma,improve the postoperative recovery,alleviate postoperative pain,and reduce the risk of complications.

Objective:To analyze the effects of fertilization methods, quality of inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) on the sex ratio at birth (SRB) during single blastocyst transfer cycles.Methods:5 367 single blastocyst transfer cycles in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) of patients with successful pregnancy and delivery in Reproductive Medical Center of Zhanjiang Jiuhe Hospital from January 2010 to December 2022 were included in this retrospective cohort study. According to different types of embryos, the cycles were divided into fresh embryo group ( n=1 487, total population; n=1 258, ≤35 years old) and frozen-thawed embryo group ( n=3 880, total population; n=3 199, ≤35 years old). According to different fertilization methods, the cycles were divided into IVF group ( n=4 424, total population; n=3 667, ≤35 years old) and ICSI group ( n=943, total population; n=780, ≤35 years old). Chi-square test was used to analyze the differences of SRB among all the patients and the patients aged ≤35 years who underwent different embryo types and fertilization methods, and logistic regression was used to analyze the effects of ICM and TE ratings on SRB in each group of blastocysts. Results:There were 917 male infants (61.7%, 917/1 487) in the fresh embryo transfer group and 2 317 male infants (59.7%, 2 317/3 880) in frozen-thawed embryo transfer group. The SRB of the fresh embryo transfer group (160.9∶100) was slightly higher than that in frozen-thawed embryo transfer group (148.2∶100), but the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.201). There were 2 732 male infants (61.8%, 2 732/4 424) in IVF group and 502 male infants (53.2%, 502/943) in ICSI group. The SRB of IVF group (161.5∶100) was significantly higher than that of ICSI group (113.8∶100), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). In female patients aged ≤35 years, the effects of different embryo transfer methods and different fertilization methods on SRB were consistent with the results of total population. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the SRB of patients with ICSI was lower than that of patients with IVF, except for 3-6AA. There were significant differences in SRB between ICSI cycles patients (88.8∶100; 72.8∶100; 156.1∶100) and IVF cycles patients (130.7∶100; 124.8∶100; 206.3∶100) when the blastocyst grade was 3-6BB ( OR=0.679, 95% CI: 0.516-0.896, P=0.006), 3-6AB( OR=0.583, 95% CI: 0.421-0.809, P=0.001) and 3-6BA OR=0.757, 95% CI: 0.585-0.979, P=0.034). Taking 3-6BB blastocysts as reference, the SRB of 3-6AA and 3-6BA blastocysts were higher (IVF: OR=1.527, 95% CI: 1.258-1.854, P<0.001; OR=1.579,95% CI: 1.341-1.859, P<0.001; ICSI: OR=2.566, 95% CI: 1.661-3.966, P<0.001; OR=1.758, 95% CI: 1.250-2.472, P=0.001). Compared with 3-6BA, the SRB of 3-6BC blastocysts was lower (IVF: OR=0.621, 95% CI: 0.447-0.862, P=0.004; ICSI: OR=0.442, 95% CI: 0.238-0.818, P=0.009). Taking 3-6AB as reference, the SRB of 3-6AA blastocysts was higher (IVF: OR=1.600, 95% CI: 1.307-1.958, P<0.001; ICSI: OR=3.130, 95% CI: 1.964-4.987, P<0.001). Conclusion:The SRB of fresh embryo group is slightly higher than that of frozen-thawed group in single blastocyst transfer cycles. Different fertilization methods can affect SRB, and the SRB in IVF is significantly higher than that in ICSI group. The quality of blastocysts can affect SRB, and blastocysts with higher quality TE have significantly increased SRB, while ICM quality have no significant effect on SRB.

This study aims to develop a method to detect bovine multi-cytokines based on flow cytometry. Previously we have prepared and screened monoclonal antibodies against bovine cytokines IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, IP-10 and MCP-1. These bovine cytokine monoclonal antibodies were fluorescently labeled, and the combination of antibody and cell surface molecules were used to develop the method for detecting bovine multi-cytokines. Subsequently, the developed method was used to determine the cytokine expression profile of Mycobacterium bovis BCG infected bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro, and evaluate the cytokine expression level of peripheral blood CD4⁺ T cells of tuberculosis-positive cattle. The bovine multi-cytokine flow cytometry detection method can effectively determine the cytokine expression of BCG-infected bovine peripheral blood T lymphocytes. Among them, the expression levels of IFN-γ, IL-2, and TNF-α continue to increase after 40 hours of infection, while the expression levels of IP-10 and MCP-1 decreased. The combined detection of IFN-γ, IL-2, and TNF-α on CD4⁺ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood of cattle can effectively distinguish tuberculosis-positive and tuberculosis-negative samples. This method may facilitate evaluating the level of cellular immune response after bovine pathogen infection and vaccine injection.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Hepatobiliary (FACT-Hep) questionnaire in measuring the quality of life in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) in China. METHODS: FACT-Hep questionnaire was translated into Chinese and revised properly. From September 2005 to April 2006, one hundred and eighty patients with primary liver carcinoma were admitted and measured by using the Chinese version of FACT-Hep questionnaire, and the reliabilities, validities and responsibilities of the questionnaire were assessed. RESULTS: Correlation coefficient was higher between items and dimension of their corresponding domain (0.5933+/-0.1652) than that between the items and other domains (0.2749+/-0.1922). Six principal constituents were extracted by factor analysis and represented all domains of the questionnaire. The combinations of components were consistent with what was expected. The correlation coefficient of criterion-related validity was 0.828. The test-retest reliability correlation coefficients of physical, social/family, emotion, function, symptom and total questionnaire were 0.731, 0.334, 0.953, 0.786, 0.785 and 0.801 respectively, and the values of Cronbach's alpha were 0.7397, 0.4193, 0.7914, 0.8250, 0.8399 and 0.9161, respectively. There were statistical differences in scores of FACT-Hep questionnaire in different PHC stages or in different Child-Pugh classes (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The FACT-Hep questionnaire can measure the quality of life in patients with PHC with good reliability, validity and responsiveness; it can be used in assessing the disease-specific health-related quality of life of patients with hepatobiliary cancers.
