OBJECTIVE:
To compare clinical efficacy of tibial transverse transport (TTT) microcirculation reconstruction and periosteal distraction in treating patients with early diabetic foot(DF).
METHODS:
From June 2021 to June 2024, 60 patients with DF were admitted and divided into bone transport group and stretch group according to different treatment methods. There were 30 patients in bone transport group, including 16 males and 14 females;aged from 48 to 65 years old with an average of (55.59±3.78) years old;the course of disease ranged from 2 to 9 months with an average of(5.95±1.32) months;TTT microcirculation reconstruction surgery was performed. There were 30 patients in distraction group, including 17 males and 13 females;aged from 47 to 67 years old with an average of (55.24±3.81) years old;the course of disease ranged from 2 to 10 months with an average of (5.68±1.54) months;periosteal distraction surgery was performed. The skin temperature of the affected feet, the time of getting out of bed and walking after operation, the time of full weight-bearing, the wound healing time and complications were compared between two groups;the pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) before operation and one month after operation respectively;the changes of blood flow velocity of dorsal foot arteries, ankle brachial index(ABI), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) before and after operation at 3 months were compared between two groups.
RESULTS:
All patients were followed up for 3 to 4 months with an average of (3.52±0.12) months. There were no statistically significant differences in comparison of foot skin temperature, postoperative walking time, full weight-bearing time and complications between two groups (P>0.05). The wound healing time of bone transport group (61.26±7.31) days was shorter than that of distraction group (70.17±7.15) days, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Postoperative VAS at 1 month of bone transport group (2.19±0.21) was lower than that of distraction group (2.55±0.20), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At 3 months after operation, the blood flow velocity of dorsal foot artery, ankle-brachial index, EGF and bFGF in bone transport group were(34.73±4.18) cm·s-1, (0.95±0.13), (716.61±71.13) pg·ml-1 and (175.69±31.28) pg·ml-1, respectively;which were higher than that of distraction group (31.86±3.23) cm·s-1, (0.84±0.11), (677.37±70.21) pg·ml-1, (149.26±30.13) pg·ml-1, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no recurrence of ulcers in situ or at other sites in both groups during follow-up.
CONCLUSION
Compared with periosteal distraction, TTT microcirculation reconstruction surgery has a definite effect in the treatment of early DF. It could effectively reduce pain level, improve blood flow indicators and vascular endothelial function of the foot, and has a relatively high safety.

Cancer Research on Prevention and Treatment 2024;51(11):918-925
Objective To determine the risk factors and prognostic survival of patients with para-aortic lymph node metastasis of advanced esophagogastric junction malignancy by comparing their general clinicopathological characteristics and regional lymph node metastasis status with those of patients with negative para-aortic lymph node metastasis. Methods This single-center retrospective case study collected the clinical and pathological data of 224 patients with esophagogastric junction malignant tumors undergoing radical resection. Single factor affecting lymph node metastasis in group 16 was analyzed by chi square test, and multiple factors were examined using logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and Log rank test was used for survival rate comparison. Results Among the 224 patients with advanced esophagogastric junction malignant tumors, (1) Univariate analysis showed that Siewert classification, tumor diameter, pathological stage, T stage, and N stage were associated with positive para-aortic lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Meanwhile, multivariate logistic analysis showed that Siewert type and tumor diameter were independent risk factors for positive metastasis (P<0.05); (2) Among the 17 groups of regional lymph nodes with para-aortic lymph node metastasis, univariate analysis revealed that No.5, No.6, No.111, and No.112 lymph nodes were not correlated with positive para-aortic lymph node metastasis (P>0.05). The remaining 13 groups of regional lymph nodes were all associated with para-aortic lymph node metastasis. Meanwhile, multivariate logistic analysis revealed that No.7, No.11p, and No.110 lymph nodes were independent risk factors for metastasis (P<0.05). When the regional lymph node metastasis in these three groups was negative, the positive rate of para-aortic lymph node metastasis was only 4.7%. When at least one of these groups had regional lymph node metastasis, the positive metastasis rate was up to 47.4%; (3) The 1- and 3-year cumulative survival rates of the patients with positive para-aortic lymph node metastasis after surgery were 76.5% and 8.1%, respectively, and those in negative patients were 98.3% and 76.8%, respectively. Log rank test showed a significant difference in overall survival rate between the patients with positive and negative para-aortic lymph node metastasis (P<0.001). Conclusion (1) Preoperative examination of patients with advanced esophagogastric junction malignant tumors should clarify the tumor type and maximum diameter. Patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ and maximum tumor diameter of >6 cm are recommended to undergo para-aortic lymph node dissection. (2) Frozen biopsy of lymph nodes of No.7 and No.11p is performed during the operation, and the para-aortic lymph nodes should be dissected if the metastasis is found to be positive, which is helpful for the clinical surgeon to judge the dissection of the para-aortic lymph nodes.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes and prognosis of transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm and traditional thoracoabdominal combination approach for Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 59 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction who underwent radical total gastrectomy in Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 2018 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and all patients were divided into the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group (30 cases) and the thoracoabdominal combination group (29 cases) according to surgical access. The general data, perioperative indexes, postoperative complications and postoperative survival of patients in the two groups were compared. Factors influencing the overall survival were analyzed by using Cox proportional hazards model.Results:The differences in terms of gender, age, tumor diameter, pT staging, and pN staging between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). The length of esophageal invasion was (3.5±1.1) cm and (3.7±1.1) cm, respectively in the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group and the thoracoabdominal combination group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t = -0.70, P = 0.486). Compared with the thoracoabdominal combination group, the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group had less operative time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative bedtime, chest tube extraction time and postoperative hospitalization days, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05); the differences in the number of lymph nodes cleared, the number of positive lymph nodes, the number of thoracic lymph node dissection, and the number of positive thoracic lymph node were not statistically significant in the two groups (all P > 0.05). The total incidence of postoperative complications in the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group and the thoracoabdominal combination group were 53.3% (16/30) and 72.4% (21/29), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 2.30, P = 0.130), while the incidence of lung infection and pleural effusion in the thoracoabdominal combination group was higher than that in the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group (both P<0.05). The 1- and 3-year postoperative overall survival rates were 80.0%, 63.3% in the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group, and 79.3%, 62.1% in the thoracoabdominal combination group, respectively, and the difference in overall survival between the two groups was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 0.01, P = 0.934). Multivariate analysis showed that pT staging ( HR = 4.009, 95% CI: 1.851-8.683, P < 0.001) and pN staging ( HR = 2.338, 95% CI: 1.435-3.811, P = 0.001) were the independent influencing factors of overall survival. Conclusions:For patients with Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction with esophageal invasion length > 3 cm, transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm approach can reduce intraoperative bleeding and postoperative chest complications, and it has the advantages of shorter operation, hospitalization time, and less trauma, which can help to accelerate the recovery of the patients; pT and pN staging are the independent factors influencing the prognosis of patients.

OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the risk factors for neonatal asphyxia in Hubei Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture and establish a nomogram model for predicting the risk of neonatal asphyxia.
METHODS:
A retrospective study was conducted with 613 cases of neonatal asphyxia treated in 20 cooperative hospitals in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture from January to December 2019 as the asphyxia group, and 988 randomly selected non-asphyxia neonates born and admitted to the neonatology department of these hospitals during the same period as the control group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify risk factors for neonatal asphyxia. R software (4.2.2) was used to establish a nomogram model. Receiver operator characteristic curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis were used to assess the discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness of the model for predicting the risk of neonatal asphyxia, respectively.
RESULTS:
Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that minority (Tujia), male sex, premature birth, congenital malformations, abnormal fetal position, intrauterine distress, maternal occupation as a farmer, education level below high school, fewer than 9 prenatal check-ups, threatened abortion, abnormal umbilical cord, abnormal amniotic fluid, placenta previa, abruptio placentae, emergency caesarean section, and assisted delivery were independent risk factors for neonatal asphyxia (P<0.05). The area under the curve of the model for predicting the risk of neonatal asphyxia based on these risk factors was 0.748 (95%CI: 0.723-0.772). The calibration curve indicated high accuracy of the model for predicting the risk of neonatal asphyxia. The decision curve analysis showed that the model could provide a higher net benefit for neonates at risk of asphyxia.
CONCLUSIONS
The risk factors for neonatal asphyxia in Hubei Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture are multifactorial, and the nomogram model based on these factors has good value in predicting the risk of neonatal asphyxia, which can help clinicians identify neonates at high risk of asphyxia early, and reduce the incidence of neonatal asphyxia.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigative the detection value of EB virus DNA (EBV-DNA), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) level in peripheral blood of children with infectious mononucleosis (IM).
METHODS:
A total of 59 children clinically confirmed with IM in Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital from January 2018 to September 2020 were enrolled as IM group, while other 30 healthy children undergoing physical examination during the same period were enrolled as healthy group. The level of EBV-DNA load, IL-2, and IL-6 were compared between the two groups, and their diagnostic values for IM children were explored. According to the median level of EBV-DNA load, positive children were divided into high viral load group and low viral load group. The hepatomegaly and splenomegaly, and levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), IL-2, and IL-6 were compared between the two groups. The relationship between EBV-DNA load and IL-2, IL-6 levels were explored.
RESULTS:
The positive rate of EBV-DNA was 67.80% in IM group, which was significantly higher than 10.00% in healthy group (P<0.001), and the levels of serum IL-2 and IL-6 were also significantly higher than healthy group (P<0.001). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that AUC of IL-2 combined with IL-6 and EBV-DNA load was 0.948, which was significantly greater than that of IL-2, IL-6, and EBV-DNA load alone (0.847, 0.728, 0.789) (P<0.001). The cut-off value of IL-2 and IL-6 was 15.545 pg/ml and 56.560 pg/ml, respectively. Both the proportions of cases with moderate to severe hepatomegaly and splenomegaly in high viral load group were significantly higher than those in low viral load group (P<0.01, P<0.05). The levels of ALT, AST, and IL-2 in high viral load group were significantly higher than those in low viral load group (P<0.001), as well as IL-6 (P<0.01). In high and low viral load groups, EBV-DNA load was positively correlated with IL-2 and IL-6 (in high viral load group, rIL-2=0.598, rIL-6=0.416; in low viral load group, rIL-2=0.621, rIL-6=0.527, P<0.001).
CONCLUSION
The detection of EBV-DNA load combined with IL-2 and IL-6 can improve the diagnostic accuracy of IM, and EBV-DNA load, IL-2 and IL-6 levels are related to the disease progression.

Objective: To analyze the clinical epidemiological characteristics including composition of pathogens , clinical characteristics, and disease prognosis acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) in Chinese children. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical and laboratory data of 1 610 children <15 years of age with ABM in 33 tertiary hospitals in China from January 2019 to December 2020. Patients were divided into different groups according to age,<28 days group, 28 days to <3 months group, 3 months to <1 year group, 1-<5 years of age group, 5-<15 years of age group; etiology confirmed group and clinically diagnosed group according to etiology diagnosis. Non-numeric variables were analyzed with the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, while non-normal distrituction numeric variables were compared with nonparametric test. Results: Among 1 610 children with ABM, 955 were male and 650 were female (5 cases were not provided with gender information), and the age of onset was 1.5 (0.5, 5.5) months. There were 588 cases age from <28 days, 462 cases age from 28 days to <3 months, 302 cases age from 3 months to <1 year of age group, 156 cases in the 1-<5 years of age and 101 cases in the 5-<15 years of age. The detection rates were 38.8% (95/245) and 31.5% (70/222) of Escherichia coli and 27.8% (68/245) and 35.1% (78/222) of Streptococcus agalactiae in infants younger than 28 days of age and 28 days to 3 months of age; the detection rates of Streptococcus pneumonia, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus agalactiae were 34.3% (61/178), 14.0% (25/178) and 13.5% (24/178) in the 3 months of age to <1 year of age group; the dominant pathogens were Streptococcus pneumoniae and the detection rate were 67.9% (74/109) and 44.4% (16/36) in the 1-<5 years of age and 5-<15 years of age . There were 9.7% (19/195) strains of Escherichia coli producing ultra-broad-spectrum β-lactamases. The positive rates of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture and blood culture were 32.2% (515/1 598) and 25.0% (400/1 598), while 38.2% (126/330)and 25.3% (21/83) in CSF metagenomics next generation sequencing and Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen detection. There were 4.3% (32/790) cases of which CSF white blood cell counts were normal in etiology confirmed group. Among 1 610 children with ABM, main intracranial imaging complications were subdural effusion and (or) empyema in 349 cases (21.7%), hydrocephalus in 233 cases (14.5%), brain abscess in 178 cases (11.1%), and other cerebrovascular diseases, including encephalomalacia, cerebral infarction, and encephalatrophy, in 174 cases (10.8%). Among the 166 cases (10.3%) with unfavorable outcome, 32 cases (2.0%) died among whom 24 cases died before 1 year of age, and 37 cases (2.3%) had recurrence among whom 25 cases had recurrence within 3 weeks. The incidences of subdural effusion and (or) empyema, brain abscess and ependymitis in the etiology confirmed group were significantly higher than those in the clinically diagnosed group (26.2% (207/790) vs. 17.3% (142/820), 13.0% (103/790) vs. 9.1% (75/820), 4.6% (36/790) vs. 2.7% (22/820), χ2=18.71, 6.20, 4.07, all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the unfavorable outcomes, mortility, and recurrence between these 2 groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions: The onset age of ABM in children is usually within 1 year of age, especially <3 months. The common pathogens in infants <3 months of age are Escherichia coli and Streptococcus agalactiae, and the dominant pathogen in infant ≥3 months is Streptococcus pneumoniae. Subdural effusion and (or) empyema and hydrocephalus are common complications. ABM should not be excluded even if CSF white blood cell counts is within normal range. Standardized bacteriological examination should be paid more attention to increase the pathogenic detection rate. Non-culture CSF detection methods may facilitate the pathogenic diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) in acute cholecystitis.Methods:Clinical data of 64 patients who were diagnosed moderate (grade Ⅱ) acute cholecystitis by the 2018 Tokyo Guidelines in acute phase and underwent delayed LC at our hospital from Jan 2018 to Jan 2021 were compared between two groups ie PTGBD treatment (21 cases)in acute stage before DLC and DLC without PTGBD group (43 cases). The difficulty score of TG18 was used to evaluated every surgical procedure of the cases by reviewing the operation videos.Results:Patients in DLC after PTGBD group had a longer hospital stay and operation time, more blood lose and higher difficulty score than the DLC without PTGBD group(all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the conversion rate and morbidity rate between the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusion:This study fails to show there is any if ever benefit of PTGBD before DLC over DLC without PTGBD in the management of Grade Ⅱ acute cholecystitis.

Recent population studies have significantly advanced our understanding of how age shapes the gut microbiota.However,the actual role of age could be inevitably confounded due to the complex and variable environmental factors in human populations.A well-controlled envi-ronment is thus necessary to reduce undesirable confounding effects,and recapitulate age-dependent changes in the gut microbiota of healthy primates.Herein we performed 16S rRNA gene sequenc-ing,characterized the age-associated gut microbial profiles from infant to elderly crab-eating maca-ques reared in captivity,and systemically revealed the lifelong dynamic changes of the primate gut microbiota.While the most significant age-associated taxa were mainly found as commensals such as Faecalibacterium,the abundance of a group of suspicious pathogens such as Helicobacter was exclusively increased in infants,underlining their potential role in host development.Importantly,topology analysis indicated that the network connectivity of gut microbiota was even more age-dependent than taxonomic diversity,and its tremendous decline with age could probably be linked to healthy aging.Moreover,we identified key driver microbes responsible for such age-dependent network changes,which were further linked to altered metabolic functions of lipids,carbohydrates,and amino acids,as well as phenotypes in the microbial community.The current study thus demon-strates the lifelong age-dependent changes and their driver microbes in the primate gut microbiota,and provides new insights into their roles in the development and healthy aging of their hosts.
