Objective:To explore the impact of home enteral nutrition (HEN) on the treatment strategy of patients with high position intestinal fistula.Methods:The clinical and follow-up data of 36 patients with high position intestinal fistula requiring HEN treated in Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from Jan 2021 to Sep 2023 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 36 cases, 2 had indwelling nasogastric tubes, 12 had indwelling nasojejunal nutritional tubes, and 22 had percutaneous jejunostomy. The incidence of HEN-related complications in patients was 13.9%, and there were no serious catheter complications.During HEN, high position intestinal fistula healed in 19 cases (52.8%), returned to the hospital for the next stage of intestinal fistula treatment in 11 cases (30.6%), needed to return to the hospital for nutritional support in 1 case (2.8%), and intestinal fistula aggravated to terminate HEN in 2 cases (5.6%).Conclusion:Under the management of professional team, HEN via nasogastric/jejunal nutritional tube or percutaneous jejunostomy is safe and feasible in patients with high intestinal fistula.

【Objective】 To explore the application value of ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT on the detection of metastatic lesions of prostate cancer with serum total prostate specific antigen (tPSA) ≤20 ng/mL and the predictive variables affecting the imaging results, and to establish a predictive nomogram for the metastasis of prostate cancer. 【Methods】 The imaging, pathological, serum and clinical data of 175 pathologically confirmed prostate cancer patients who underwent ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT examination during Jan.2020 and Oct.2021 were retrospectively collected.The patients were divided into metastatic group and non-metastatic group according to PET/CT imaging results, and the positive detection rate of metastatic lesions was calculated.The independent influencing factors of ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT in the positive detection of metastatic lesions were determined with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.The predictive nomogram was established. 【Results】 Of the 175 patients, metastatic lesions were detected in 78 cases and not detected in 97 cases, with a detection rate of 44.6% (78/175).There were statistically significant differences between the metastatic group and the non-metastatic group in urinary tract symptoms, androgen deprivation treatment (ADT) at the time of PET/CT examination and the risk level of Gleason score (GS) (P<0.05).Univariate logistic regression showed that urinary tract symptoms(OR=3.64, P<0.001), GS risk (OR=3.96, P<0.001) and concurrent ADT treatment (OR=3.71, P<0.001) were associated with the positive detection rate of metastatic lesions.Multivariate Logistic regression showed that urinary tract symptoms (OR=3.19, P=0.002), GS high-risk group (OR=2.95, P=0.005) and concurrent ADT treatment (OR=3.27, P=0.001) were independent predictors of positive detection rate. 【Conclusion】 The probability of metastasis in newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients with tPSA≤20 ng/mL is high.¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT is of high value for the early detection of metastasis.Urinary tract symptoms, GS high-risk group and concurrent ADT treatment are independent predictors of metastatic lesions.The predictive nomogram can help assist clinical optimization of imaging examination path.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of the 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 PET/CT in seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) of prostate cancer. Methods:Clinical and pathological materials of 88 patients (age: 51-84 years) who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) between May 2019 and December 2021 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT examination for primary staging before surgery. The diagnostic efficiency of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in SVI was obtained using postoperative pathological results as the " gold standard" and ROC curve was drawn. Furthermore, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to screen the influencing factors for 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT prediction of SVI. Results:The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in diagnosing SVI were 79.55%(70/88), 72.73%(16/22), 81.82%(54/66), 57.14%(16/28) and 90.00%(54/60), respectively. The ROC AUC was 0.77. Results of univariate logistic regression showed that total prostate specific antigen (tPSA), primary SUV max, Gleason score, International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade group were associated with 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT prediction of SVI. Results of multivariate logistic regression showed that Gleason score (odds ratio ( OR)=2.04, 95% CI: 1.19-3.50, P=0.009) was a predictor of SVI in prostate cancer. Conclusion:18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT has certain diagnostic value in SVI of prostate cancer, and combining with Gleason score can improve the diagnostic efficiency.

【Objective】 To analyze the correlation of whole body tumor burden of ¹⁸F-prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission computed tomography （¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT） with prostate specific antigen （PSA） and Gleason score so as to evaluate the value of ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT whole body tumor burden for predicting serum PSA progression in prostate cancer. 【Methods】 We retrospectively recruited 213 patients with prostate cancer who underwent ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT scanning from March 2019 to April 2021. The serum PSA and Gleason score were collected. Whole body tumor burden was measured by a semi-automatic method. The correlation of tumor burden with serum PSA and Gleason score was analyzed. After radical prostatectomy， the patients were divided into groups according to negative or positive ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT. PSA differences between groups were compared， and the receiver operating characteristic curve （ROC） of the subjects was drawn so as to obtain the threshold value of PSA to predict the positive rate of ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT. The patients were followed up for PSA after radical surgery， divided into groups according to the progress of PSA， and the differences in tumor burden between groups were compared. 【Results】 In Gleason score ≤7， =8， and ≥9 groups， whole body tumor burden was correlated with PSA in each group （P=0.001）， and tumor burden significantly differed between the groups （P<0.001）. In initial diagnosis and treatment group， biochemical recurrence group， and medication group， the correlation between tumor burden and PSA was statistically significant （P=0.001）. The Gleason score of primary prostate lesion was significantly correlated with systemic tumor burden （P<0.001）. The area under ROC curve of PSA predicting the positive rate of ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT after radical prostatectomy was 0.821； when PSA>0.577 ng/mL， the sensitivity and the specificity were 66.7% and 96.8%， respectively. The mean whole body tumor burden in ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT positive patients with PSA progression was higher than that in patients without PSA progression. 【Conclusion】 The whole body tumor burden of ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT is significantly correlated with PSA， which is helpful in predicting the serum PSA progression in prostate cancer. PSA can predict the positive rate of ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT to a certain extent. At the same time， PSA can also predict positive results of ¹⁸F-PSMA PET/CT to a certain extent， and guide clinical rational selection of this examination.

【Objective】 To investigate the value of prostate-specific antigen （PSA） level， Gleason score， and PSMA PET/CT maximum standardized uptake value （SUVmax） in predicting prostate cancer （PCa） metastasis and the treatment option of oligometastatic PCa. 【Methods】 We retrospectively recruited 170 patients with PCa confirmed by pathology， 97 of whom were untreated， and divided them into nonmetastatic group， oligometastatic group （metastasis≤5）， and polymetastatic group. In addition， 28 patients with oligometastatic PCa underwent radical prostatectomy and 45 patients underwent androgen-deprivation therapy. We compared the differences in SUVmax， PSA， and Gleason scores between the three sub-groups of untreated patients， and also analyzed the correlation between SUVmax of local cancer lesions， Gleason score and PSA level. We further compared the differences in SUVmax and PSA levels between radical prostatectomy and androgen-deprivation therapy of oligometastatic PCa patients. According to Gleason score， patients with oligometastatic PCa were divided into two groups （low-intermediate risk group with Gleason score ≤7 and high-risk group with Gleason score ≥8）， and the levels of SUVmax and PSA between the groups were compared. 【Results】 With the increasing number of metastases， SUVmax， PSA levels and Gleason scores all showed an upward trend， and there were significant differences among the three groups （P=0.029， P=0.001， P=0.046）. The post-hoc test found significant difference in Gleason score between the oligometastatic group and the other two groups （P=0.043， P=0.002） as well as correlation of SUVmax level of the primary tumor with Gleason score and PSA （P=0.002， r=0.315； P<0.001， r=0.430）. There was significant difference in PSA level between the two groups after radical prostatectomy and androgen-deprivation therapy （P=0.017）. The difference in PSA between the two treatments persisted in the low-intermediate risk groups （P=0.021）. 【Conclusion】 PSA level， Gleason score and SUVmax have some value in predicting PCa metastasis. Radical prostatectomy is an effective treatment strategy for patients with oligometastatic PCa， especially those with low-intermediate Gleason score.

【Objective】 To investigate the value of prostate cancer prevention trial risk calculator （PCPT-RC） combined with biopsy Gleason score for predicting the risk of metastasis in newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients. 【Methods】 We retrospectively collected the data of 74 patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer confirmed by biopsy from April 2019 to August 2021， concurrent with ¹⁸F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT whole body imaging in the same period. Based on this， a binary logistic regression model was established to obtain the high risk probability of PCPT. We calculated the receiver operating characteristic curve （ROC） was drawn and the area under the curve， Yuden index， sensitivity， specificity， positive predictive value and negative predictive value. We compared the predictive value of the prostate cancer prevention trial risk calculator and Gleason score alone or in combination in predicting the risk of prostate cancer metastasis. 【Results】 Based on the PSMA PET/CT results， 74 patients were divided into non-metastatic group （46/74） and metastatic group （28/74）. PCPT high risk probability ［41.14% （16%-67%）］ vs. ［30.89% （5%-65%）］， Gleason score ［8.5（6-10） score］ vs. ［7.7（6-9） score］， tPSA ［26.24（5.70-42.32） ng/mL］ vs. ［19.58（2.47-49.35） ng/mL］， and fPSA ［3.94（0.82-12.00） ng/mL］ vs. ［2.33（0.35-10.20） ng/mL］ were significantly higher in metastatic group than in non-metastatic group. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that Gleason score and PCPT low risk probability may be independent predictors of prostate cancer metastasis. PCPT low risk probability alone did not predict the risk of prostate cancer metastasis （P=0.172）. The predictive accuracy of Gleason score and high probability of PCPT in predicting prostate cancer metastasis were 0.715 and 0.679， respectively， and the accuracy of the combined prediction was 0.809. 【Conclusion】 PCPT-RC combined with Gleason score is valuable for predicting the metastasis risk of newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients， which has certain guiding significance for clinical individualized treatment.

The caudal forelimb area (CFA) of the mouse cortex is essential in many forelimb movements, and diverse types of GABAergic interneuron in the CFA are distinct in the mediation of cortical inhibition in motor information processing. However, their long-range inputs remain unclear. In the present study, we combined the monosynaptic rabies virus system with Cre driver mouse lines to generate a whole-brain map of the inputs to three major inhibitory interneuron types in the CFA. We discovered that each type was innervated by the same upstream areas, but there were quantitative differences in the inputs from the cortex, thalamus, and pallidum. Comparing the locations of the interneurons in two sub-regions of the CFA, we discovered that their long-range inputs were remarkably different in distribution and proportion. This whole-brain mapping indicates the existence of parallel pathway organization in the forelimb subnetwork and provides insight into the inhibitory processes in forelimb movement to reveal the structural architecture underlying the functions of the CFA.

Objective To analyze the outcomes of different treatments in 126 patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods The follow-up data of 126 BCLC-B or C stage HCC patients who received different treatments were retrospectively studied.These patients were divided into six groups according to the treatment.Group 1:untreated; Group 2:TACE only; Group 3:TACE + Sorafenib;Group 4:liver resection ; Group 5:liver resection + TACE; Group 6:liver resection + TACE + Sorafenib.The survival times were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method and the results were analyzed using the log-rank test.Results Among the non-surgery groups,the 1 year survival rate in Group 3 (62.5％,medium survival 16 months) was longer than Groups 1 and 2.For patients in the liver resection groups,the 1 year and overall survival rates were much better than the non-surgery groups.There were no significant differences in 1 year and 2 year survivals among Groups 4,5,and 6.However,the 3 year survival rate in Group 6 was much longer than Groups 4 and 5.The medium survival in Groups 4,5,and 6 were 24,24.5,and 28 months,respectively.Moreover,the medium survivals after post-hepatectomy recurrence in Groups 4,5 and 6 were 7,9.5,and 18 months,respectively.Sorafenib significantly prolonged survival after HCC recurrence.Conclusions Liver resection was still the best and the most effective treatment for patients with advanced HCC.Combining TACE with Sorafenib was a better treatment for patients with non-resectable HCC.Sorafenib effectively inhibited progression of post-hepatectomy HCC recurrence and significantly prolonged survival.Therefore,Sorafenib is a good approach in the prevention and treatment of HCC recurrence.

Objective To treat axillary osmidrosis by using three procedures (small incision apocrine curettage,cut-off operation and aspiration surgery),to observe the postoperative complications,efficacy and the pathological changes of skin,and to explore the advantages of these three procedures.Methods Seventy-five cases of evere bilateral axillary osmidrosis were involved in this study,totally 150 axillary surgery area,which was randomly divided into different group:Group A (curettage group); Group B (cut-off group) and Group C (aspiration group).Different surgical treatment was conducted in the three groups of operation area.Results Incidence of complications was 28.30 ％ and total effective rate was 94.34 ％ in Group A; in Group B,incidence of complications was 6.38 ％,and total effective rate was 97.87 ％ ; in Group C,incidence of complications was 4.00 ％ and total effective rate was 78.00 ％.The incidence of complications was significantly different between Groups A and B and between Groups A and C,but not significant difference between Groups B and C.The cure rate and efficiency were not significant difference between Groups A and B groups,but significant difference was found between Groups A and C and Groups B and C.HE staining results showed that the dermal tissues were partially destroyed in Group A and B,and no apocrine sweat glands were not seen within the dermis and subcutaneous tissues; in Group C,the dermal tissue was rarely destroyed,and a lot of apocrine sweat glands were reserved within the dermis and subcutaneous tissues.Conclusions Efficacy of curettage and cut-off procedures is better,but that of aspiration is worse in the treatment of axillary asmidrosis.The complications of cut-off surgery and aspiration are less,but urettage has more complications.Therefore,the efficacy of cut-off operation is the best with least complications among the three procedures.
