Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic factors of clinical and histopathological parameters,including age,gender,tumor stage,tumor grade,tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis(LNM),tumor frequency,and tumor count,in patients undergoing radical cystectomy(RC)combined with Mainz Pouch Ⅱ bladder reconstruction.Methods:A total of 237 bladder cancer patients(198 male and 39 female)who underwent RC combined with Mainz Pouch Ⅱ bladder reconstruction without chemotherapy or radiotherapy,from January 2004 to January 2023,were included in this study.Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were performed to assess the impact of age,tumor grade,tumor stage,tumor differentiation,LNM,tumor frequency,and tumor count on 5-year overall survival(OS)and 5-year cancer-specific survival(CSS).Results:The mean age at diagnosis was 59.8 years,with 198 male and 39 female patients.The mean follow-up duration was 47.8 months.In univariate analysis,patients younger than 65 years had significantly higher 5-year OS and 5-year CSS compared to those aged≥65 years.Patients with urothelial carcinoma showed better 5-year OS than those with non-urothelial carcinoma.Additionally,tumor stage,tumor grade,and LNM were negatively associated with 5-year OS and 5-year CSS.On multivariate analysis,only tumor grade and LNM remained statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:Tumor grade and LNM were identified as independent prognostic risk factors for 5-year OS and 5-year CSS following RC combined with Mainz PouchⅡ bladder reconstruction.Moreover,the application of RC combined with Mainz Pouch Ⅱ bladder reconstruction should consider the patient's preferences and physical condition.

Reporting guidelines are structured checklists for researchers to follow when reporting spe-cific types of studies.As researches conducted in real-world settings to address practical issues,implementa-tion research has stringent requirements for the replicability of result and the transparency of reporting,making its reporting guidelines particularly important.This paper systematically introduces the reporting guidelines in the field of implementation science,outlines their classification systems and scopes of applica-tion,and focuses on explaining the core characteristics and functions of five key reporting guidelines,inclu-ding the Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies(StaRI),Reporting guidelines for implementation and operational research,the Template for Intervention Description and Replication(TIDieR),the Frame-work for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Enhanced(FRAME),and recommendations for specifying and reporting implementation strategies.Furthermore,combined with the PEDALs research paradigm in im-plementation science,this paper further clarifies the specific application pathways for reporting guidelines and discusses directions for refinement,aiming to provide references for researchers to select appropriate reporting guidelines.

Objective·To compare the safety and short-term outcomes of robot-assisted versus laparoscopic-assisted proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy in the treatment of early upper gastric cancer.Methods·A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical and pathological data of 31 early gastric cancer patients who underwent proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy for gastrointestinal reconstruction at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery,Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,from September 2023 to March 2024.Based on the surgical approach,patients were divided into the robot-assisted surgery group(robotic group,20 cases)and the laparoscope-assisted surgery group(laparoscopic group,11 cases).General clinical data,intraoperative conditions,and postoperative recovery between the two groups were compared.At the 6-month postoperative follow-up,upper gastrointestinal radiography and esophagogastroscopy were performed to assess anastomotic stricture and gastroesophageal reflux disease.Additionally,the gastric cancer-specific module of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer(EORTC),Quality of Life Questionnaire-Stomach 22(QLQ-STO22),was used to evaluate the patients' quality of life.Results·The general data of the two groups,including gender,age,preoperative comorbidities,American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)classification,Siewert classification,and pathological staging of tumors,showed no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05).All patients successfully underwent the procedure without conversion to open surgery.The time for gastroesophageal anastomosis was significantly shorter in the robotic group compared to the laparoscopic group[(31.09±8.23)min vs(43.73±8.83)min,P<0.001],while there were no statistically significant differences in other intraoperative and postoperative parameters,including operative time,intraoperative blood loss,number of lymph nodes removed,duration of gastric tube placement,time to start a liquid diet,length of postoperative hospital stay,and incidence of postoperative complications(all P>0.05).At the 6-month postoperative follow-up,30 patients completed the follow-up,with one patient lost to follow-up in the robotic group.Upper gastrointestinal radiography and esophagogastroscopy results showed that only one patient in the laparoscopic group developed an anastomotic stricture,while one patient in the robotic group developed grade A and one developed grade B gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).In addition,one patient in the laparoscopic group also developed grade B GERD.The incidences of GERD and anastomotic stricture showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups(both P>0.05).EORTC QLQ-STO22 results indicated that the robotic group had significantly lower scores in the dimensions of dysphagia,gastroesophageal reflux,and dietary restrictions,as well as in the total score,compared to the laparoscopic group(all P<0.05).Conclusion·Robot-assisted proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy is safe and feasible.It shortens anastomosis time and offers potential advantages in postoperative functional recovery and quality of life improvement.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), as a crucial component of the tumor micro-environment, have attracted significant attention in the field of tumor research in recent years. TLSs are composed of multiple immune cells and formed under the stimulation of chronic inflammation, with their maturation process divided into different stages. They exert anti-tumor effects by mimic-king the functions of secondary lymphoid organs and generating adaptive immune responses. In terms of the prognosis of gastric cancer, the cell composition, spatial distribution of TLSs, and their combination with other indicators are all helpful in predicting the prognosis of patients. Meanwhile, the TLSs scoring system is expected to become an index for evaluating the efficacy of immuno-therapy. Treatment strategies for inducing TLSs formation have achieved certain results in animal models, but potential treatment risks require attention. The authors elaborate on formation and maturation process of TLSs, anti-tumor mechanism, value in prognostic assessment of gastric cancer and multiple tumors, prediction of immunotherapy, as well as treatment strategies for inducing the formation of TLSs.

Objective:To investigate the application value of antegrade splenic superior region dissection first in laparoscopic total gastrectomy of obesity gastric cancer.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 21 obesity patients with gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy in Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from July 2018 to October 2023 were collected. There were 16 males and 5 females, aged (58±13)years. All 21 patients underwent laparoscopic total gastrec-tomy with antegrade splenic superior region dissection first. Observation indicators: operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, laparotomy conversion, intraoperative splenic hemorrhage or gastric hemorrhage, lymph node dissection, time to postoperative first flatus, time to postoperative initial liquid food intake, duration of postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complication. Measure-ment data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and count data were expressed as absolute numbers. Results:All 21 patients underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy success-fully, with the operation time of (283±47)minutes, time for splenogastric ligament and vascular manage-ment of (34±12)minutes, volume of intraoperative blood loss of (143±86)mL, and no laparotomy conversion. There was no intraoperative splenic hemorrhage or gastric haemorrhage. The total number of lymph node dissected in 21 patients was 375, with the number of lymph node dissected as (21±9)per case. Time to postoperative first flatus, time to postoperative initial liquid food intake and duration of postoperative hospital stay in 21 patients were (3.1±0.7)days, (4.0±0.8)days and (10.1±3.0)days, respectively. There were 2 patients with postoperative complications, including 1 case of incision infection and 1 case of lung infection. The 2 patients with postoperative com-plications were recovered and discharged after conservative treatment. There was no death during the postoperative 30 days.Conclusion:The application of antegrade splenic superior region dissec-tion first in laparoscopic total gastrectomy is safe and feasible, which can reduce surgical difficulty.

Objective To investigate the regulatory role of miR-26b-3p in proliferation,migration and invasion of glioma.Methods The expressions of miR-26b-3p and cAMP-responsive element binding protein 1(CREB1)in gliomas of different pathological grades were detected with RT-qPCR and Western blotting.Bioinformatic methods were used to analyze the target sequence of miRNA-26b-3p binding to CREB1,and dual luciferase gene reporter experiment was performed to explore the mechanism for targeted regulation of CREB1 by miR-26b-3p.Glioma U251 cells were treated with miR-26b-3p mimic or inhibitor,and the changes in CREB1 expression and cell proliferation,migration,invasion and apoptosis were determined with Western blotting,CCK-8 assay,wound healing assay,Transwell assay,and flow cytometry.Results The expression of miR-26b-3p decreased while CREB1 expression increased significantly as the pathological grade of gliomas increased(P<0.05).Dual luciferase gene reporter experiment confirmed that CREB1 was a downstream target of miR-26b-3p.Inhibition of miR-26b-3p significantly upregulated the expression of CERB1,suppressed apoptosis and promoted proliferation and invasion of glioma cells,and overexpression of miR-26b-3p produced the opposite effects(P<0.05).Conclusion MiR-26b-3p regulates CREB1 expression to modulate apoptosis,proliferation,migration and invasion of glioma cells,thereby participating in tumorigenesis and progression of glioma.
