Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of domestically produced magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) for gastroesophageal reflux disease.Method:This study is a prospective cohort study. Patients with typical heartburn and reflux symptoms (at least partial response to proton pump inhibitors), abnormal esophageal acid exposure and normal esophageal peristalsis were included, prospectively in the Department of Gastroesophageal Surgery, Rocket Force Characteristic Medical Center from June 2019 to September 2022. Patients with hiatal hernia >2 cm and severe esophagitis were excluded. The MSA was wrapped around the distal esophagus after esophageal hiatus repair by laparoscopy. A postoperative questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the relief of symptom, complications, the discontinuation rate of proton pump inhibitor, and surgical satisfaction. Gastroscopy, high-resolution esophageal pressure measurement, and pH value impedance monitoring were also reviewed. The pre- and postoperative rates were compared using the McNeinar χ2 test. Result:Currently, 23 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease were enrolled and underwent MSA surgery. There were 20 males and 3 females, aged ( M (IQR)) 48 (14) years (range: 25 to 64 years). All cases were successfully implanted with MSA. Subjective indicators were followed for 17 (18) months (range: 14 to 53 months), while objective indicators were followed for 17 (1) months (range: 12 to 23 months). The postoperative gastrointestinal and extraesophageal symptom scores showed a significant decrease compared to preoperative levels as follows: the degree of subjective relief of overall digestive symptoms was 90 (20)% (range:0~100%), the degree of subjective relief of overall respiratory symptoms was 100(10)% (range: 10%~100%), the overall satisfaction rate was 83% (19/23), the proton pump inhibitor discontinuation rate was 70% (16/23). The proportion of esophagitis has decreased from 44% (10/23) to 9% (2/23) ( κ=0.169, P=0.039), The Hill grade of gastroesophageal valve morphology improved from 1 case of grade Ⅰ, 5 cases of grade Ⅱ, 10 cases of grade Ⅲ, and 7 cases of grade Ⅲ preoperative to 22, 1, 0, and 0 cases postoperative. The proportion of lower esophageal sphincter pressure below normal has decreased from 70% (16/23) to 35% (8/23) ( κ=0.170, P=0.012). There were 21 patients who restored normal esophageal acid exposure. Eleven patients had mild long-term dysphagia, but it didn′t affect their daily life. No postoperative device migration, erosion, or secondary surgical removal occurred. Conclusions:Laparoscopic implantation of the MSA device was safe and well tolerated. It can effectively control the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, reduce medication, restore normal cardia morphology and function, and esophageal acid exposure. The main postoperative complication was dysphagia, but it was relatively mild.

Objective:To explore the long-term efficacy of laparoscopic fundoplication for proton pump inhibitor dependent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Method:Clinical data of proton pump inhibitor dependent GERD patients who underwent fundoplication at the Rocket Force Characteristic Medical Center from Jan to Jun 2012 were analyzed, including GERD symptom score, subjective symptom relief rate, PPI discontinuation rate and surgical satisfaction, as well as recurrence and complications.Result:A total of 160 GERD patients were included in this study, with 64% of patients having respiratory symptoms. Nissen and Toupet fundoplication were performed in 43 and 117 cases, respectively, with a follow-up time of (127±3) months. The postoperative GERD symptom scores of the patients were significantly lower than before treatment (all P<0.001); The subjective relief of overall symptoms in the digestive tract and airway problem was 90% (80%, 100%) and 100%, respectively. The PPI discontinuation rate was 86%, and the overall satisfaction rate of the treatment was 92%, and the satisfaction rate of patients with respiratory symptoms was 89%. 7% of patients experienced varying degrees of symptomatic recurrence, 4% of patients re-underwent endoscopic treatment and/or laparoscopic fundoplication due to symptom recurrence. The incidence of long-term postoperative dysphagia, bloating, belching, increased exhaust, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation were 11.3%, 16.9%, 0, 1.3%, 0, 2.5%, and 5.6%, respectively. Conclusions:Laparoscopic fundoplication has good long-term efficacy in the treatment of GERD. A small number of patients may experience postoperative recurrence, as well as complications such as dysphagia and gas-bloat syndrome. Most recurrent patients can achieve good therapeutic effect by redoing endoscopic treatment or redoing surgery.

Objective:To compare Jefferson-fracture reduction plate (JeRP) and micro titanium plate in the transoral single-segment fixation of unstable atlas fractures.Methods:From January 2008 to December 2020, 45 patients with unstable atlas fracture were treated by single-segment fixation through an oral approach with a JeRP or a micro titanium plate at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command. They were 24 males and 21 females, aged from 15 to 67 years. By the Gehweiler classification, 11 atlas fractures were type Ⅰ and 34 type Ⅲ; by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) classification, the spinal cord injury was grade D in 7 cases and grade E in 38 cases; by the Dickman classification, the atlas transverse ligament injury was type Ⅰ in 4 cases and type Ⅱ in 11 cases. Of the patients, 26 were treated by transoral single-segment fixation with a JeRP and 19 by transoral single-segment fixation with a micro titanium plate. The 2 groups were compared in terms of baseline data, operation time, blood loss, hospital stay, visual analog scale (VAS) for neck pain and atlas lateral mass displacement (LMD) before operation and at the last follow-up, and intraoperative and postoperative complications.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there was no significant difference between them in the preoperative general data ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for 12 to 55 months (mean, 21.8 months). Wound dehiscence or infection was observed in none of the patients after operation. About 12 months after operation, all fractures achieved bony union, neck pain basically disappeared, and neck movement had no obvious limitation. The hospital stay was (13.9±2.2) d for the JeRP group and (14.2±2.9) d for the micro titanium plate group, showing no significant difference between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The operation time was (203.5±173.4) min and the blood loss (167.3±138.6) mL in the JeRP group, significantly more than those in the micro titanium plate group [(121.5±50.5) min and (98.4±57.2) mL] ( P<0.05). In the JeRP group, the preoperative LMD was (6.7±1.7) mm and the preoperative VAS score (6.8±1.0) points, significantly higher than the last follow-up values [(0.7±0.6) mm and (0.7±0.6) points] ( P<0.05). In the micro titanium plate group, the preoperative LMD was (6.6±1.5) mm and the preoperative VAS score (6.7±0.9) points, significantly higher than the last follow-up values [(0.9±0.6) mm and (0.8±0.7) points] ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the preoperative or the last follow-up comparison between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Implant loosening was observed in one patient in the JeRP group while foreign body sensation in the throat was reported in one patient after operation in the micro titanium plate group. Conclusions:Both JeRP and micro titanium plate in the transoral single-segment fixation can lead to effective treatment of unstable atlas fractures. Compared with JeRP, the micro titanium plate can effectively shorten operation time and reduce blood loss due to its smaller size and lower incision.

Background and Objectives: To investigate the effect and the underlying mechanism of exosomes secreted by human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) on diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) in murine lupus. Methods: and Results: Exosomes were extracted from cultured hUCMSCs by ultracentrifugation. The expressions of exosome markers (Alix, CD63 and TSG101) were measured for identification of hUCMSC-derived exosomes (hUCMSC-exosomes). The alveolar hemorrhage of DAH mice was revealed by H&E staining. The primary alveolar macrophages were isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of DAH mice. The expressions of M1 macrophage markers (iNOS, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β ) and M2 macrophage markers (Arg1, IL-10, TGF-β and chi3l3) were detected. Flow cytometry measured the ratio of M1/M2 macrophages. ELISA measured the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10 and TGF-β ). DAH mice had hemorrhage and small-vessel vasculitis in the lung, with neutrophil and monocyte infiltration observed around the capillary and small artery. Furthermore, increases of IL-6 and TNF-α, and decreases of IL-10 and TGF-β were detected in the BALF of DAH mice. M1 makers were overexpressed in alveolar macrophages of DAH mice while M2 makers were lowly expressed. DAH mice had a higher proportion of M1 macrophages than M2 macrophages. After hUCMSC-exosome or methylprednisolone treatment in DAH mice, the alveolar injuries and inflammatory responses were attenuated, and the proportion of M2 macrophages was increased. Conclusions hUCMSC-exosomes attenuate DAH-induced inflammatory responses and alveolar hemorrhage by regulating macrophage polarization.
