Background: Unintended intraoperative hypothermia is a common complication of general anesthesia surgery, which can cause pain, coagulation dysfunction, wound infection, delayed recovery, and other adverse consequences. There are few studies related to intraoperative hypothermia during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Aims: To analyze the risk factors of intraoperative hypothermia during ERCP under general anesthesia and establish a predictive model. Methods: A total of 121 patients underwent ERCP under general anesthesia from September 2021 to November 2021 at Shanghai General Hospital were recruited, and relevant clinical data were collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen risk factors, and a predictive model was constructed. The model was externally validated by independent datasets with ROC curve and Hosmer⁃Lemeshow goodness of fit test. Results: A total of 114 patients were enrolled in modeling group. The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia was 11.40% (13/114). There were more women in the hypothermia group (P<0.05). The temperature of entering the operating room and operating room temperature were relatively lower in the hypothermia group (P<0.05). Gender was an independent risk factor for intraoperative hypothermia in ERCP under general anesthesia (P<0.05). The predictive model constructed by using gender and temperature of entering the operating room screened by Logistic regression analysis had a good discrimination and calibration, area under the ROC curve by external validation was 0.78. Conclusions: Gender and temperature of entering the operating room can effectively predict the occurrence of intraoperative hypothermia and assist perioperative monitoring and management.

Objective To design and develop intelligent rehabilitation equipment for administering continuous passive motion (CPM) of a rabbit's knee joint after tibial plateau fracture.Methods The equipment constructed had three main parts:the core machinery,electronic control and a control program designed based on bionics principles.Twenty six-month-old New Zealand White male rabbits were randomly divided into sedentary (SED) and CPM groups after their knees had been fractured.The rabbits in the CPM group were given 30 min of early joint rehabilitation once a day for 4 weeks using the CPM equipment,while those in the SED group were kept in their cages and allowed free activity without any special exercise program.The body weight,range of motion and swelling of the affected knee joint were measured before the fracture and on the 3rd,7th,14th,21st and 28th days after the fracture.On the 28th day after the fracture the pathological structure of the articular cartilage on the operative side was observed under a light microscope.Results The equipment ran safely and reliably,and drove the rabbits to move synchronously.It could accurately and conveniently adjust the knee flexion angle,movement speed and movement time.The intelligence of the equipment met the experimental requirements.On the 3rd day after the operation the average range of motion in the joints of both groups had changed significantly compared to that before the fracture.On the 28th day after the fracture the average degree of swelling and range of motion in the CPM group were significantly different from those of the SED group.On the 28th day,deformity and the smoothness of the fracture line in the CPM group were superior to those in the SED group.Moreover,the dominant tissues in the defect area of the CPM group were mainly hyaline cartilage while those in the SED group were mainly repair fibrocartilage.The defect area and its adjacent articular cartilages,chondrocyte regeneration and arrangement,layers of cells and subchondral tidal line recovery of the CPM group were better than in the SED group on average.Conclusion The equipment for knee joint manipulation is convenient to use,reliable and effective for the early rehabilitation of tibial plateau fracture,at least in rabbits.It promotes remodeling of the fracture and cartilage repair after tibial plateau fracture,and also improves range of motion in the knee and reduces swelling.

Objective To study the mechanism of urinary Kallidinogenase combined with aspirin in treat-ment of acute cerebral infarction. Methods Eighty-six patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divid-ed into the observation group(n=43)and the control group(n=43).The observation group was treated with uri-nary Kallidinogenase combined with aspirin,while the control group was treated only with aspirin.Two weeks after the treatment,variables of hemorheology,serum Hcy,hs-CRP,VEGF,IL-6,Cys-C,neurological deficit(NI-HSS)and daily living ability(ADL)were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment,the serum Hcy,hs-CRP,VEGF,Cys-C,IL-6 levels,the NIHSS and ADL in the observation group were significantly better improved than those of the control group(P<0.05).The clinical efficacy in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group[95.35%(41/43)vs 74.42%(32/43)](P<0.05).Conclusion Urinary Kal-lidinogenase combined with aspirin is more effective in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction. The mechanism may be related to the early improvements of serum Hcy,hs-CRP,VEGF,Cys-C and IL-6 expression.

OBJECTIVETo observe the long-term efficacy and safety of telbivudine (LdT) for pregnant women with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and their children born from the treatment period.

METHODSA total of 118 pregnant women with CHB were enrolled in the study and provided informed consent for participation. The women opted for participation in the treatment group (7 =73; LdT 600 mg once daily, starting in early pregnancy and continued until after delivery) or in the control group (n =45; no LdT treatment). All newborns were given active and passive immunization upon birth and tested for serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), anti-hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc), anti-hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) and HBV DNA at 0, 1, 7 and 12 months of age. The Paediatrics Neuropsychological Development Scale for Children aged 0 - 6 (5 items) established by the Capital Institute was used to test the children; in addition, the children were evaluated by observation for action ability (fine and gross motor skills), adaptability, language ability and social behaviour. Total IQ was estimated as a developmental quotient (DQ) by using the equation: points from the 5 scale items actual age in months * 100.

RESULTSThe LdT group included 69 women with successful pregnancies, 1 case of miscarriage and 3 cases that were lost to follow-up. The control group included 34 women with successful pregnancies, 4 cases of miscarriage, 1 case with fatal outcome, and 6 cases of no pregnancy. Compared to the control group, the LdT group had a significantly higher successful pregnancy rate (x² =4.86 in the LdT group, P < 0.05). In addition, the LdT group had a significantly higher rate of term delivery (53 cases vs. 34 cases, x² = 6.38, P < 0.05). The neonates born to the women in the LdT group included 53 cases of weakly-negative HBsAg at birth and 1 case at 1 month old, as well as negativity for HBV DNA, and HBsAg remaining weakly positive at 6 months old; the intrauterine infection rate was 1.8% and no case of deformity occurred.Among the 34 neonates in the control group, 6 showed HBsAg positivity at 1 month old, and the HBsAg positivity remained for all 6 at 6 months old; the intrauterine infection rate was 16.6%, which was significantly higher than that of the LdT group (x² = 5.10, P < 0.05). The neonates in the LdT group had a significantly higher anti-HBs production rate at 1 year old than those in the control group (98.1% (52/53 vs. 82.4% (28/34). X² = 4.87, P < 0.05). The neonates in the LdT group showed normal growth and development for all 53 cases of young children, and IQ levels of excellent for 3 cases, smart for 8 cases, normal for 40 cases, and low for 2 cases. The neonates in the control group showed normal growth and development for all 34 cases of young children, and IQ levels of excellent for 2 cases, smart for 4 cases, normal for 27 cases, and low for 1 case.

CONCLUSIONChildbearing chronic HBV patients treated with LdT had higher rates of successful pregnancy, blocking of intrauterine infection and anti-HBs reduction compared to their untreated counterparts. The children bom to LdT-treated women showed no difference in long-term growth and development and total IQ from the children born to the untreated women with chronic HBV.

Objective To evaluate reoperations for benign bile duct strictures after a prewousRoux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.Methods Clinical date of 28 patients with previous reconstruction of Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for benign bile duct strictures were retrospectively analyzed.For data staftstical analysis t-test and stepwise logistic regression analysis were used.Results Reoperative surgery was performed for residual biliary stones with bile duct stricture in 10 cases(35.7%),simple anastomotic stricture of hepaticojejunostomy in 11 cases(39.3%),remained biliary stricture after initial rear in 6 cases (21.4%).anastomotic leakage with duodenal leakage in one case(3.6%).Mode of reoperation:18 cases (64.3%)underwent hepatic lobectomy with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy,liver splitting approach to Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in 5 cases(17.9%),right hemihepatectomy in one case(3.6%),resection of anastomotic stenosis involved segment and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in one case(3.6%),abdominal drainage and duodenum fistulization and jejunum ostomy in one case(3.6%),choledocholithotomy with T-tube drainage in 2 cases(7.1%);Thirteen patients(46.4%)developed postoperative complications.Conclusion Biliary tract stenosis remains the main cause for reoperation in patients undergoing a faeled reconstruction.Wide and patent biliary tract drainage and reconstruction somenmes necessitate a hepatic lobectomy.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant neoplasm with dismal prognosis. The risk of recurrence and metastasis remains high even for patients who have undergone radical dissection. Therefore, adjuvant therapy after "curative" resection is crucial. However, consensus on the optimal management of pancreatic cancer after surgery has not been reached. Both chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiation therapy have been advocated. Yet, based upon the results of published phase Ⅲ trials, the consensus and standard strategy of adjuvant treatment after pancreatic cancer surgery is still undo" debate. According to the results of GITSG and RTOG trials, the mainstream in North American is adjuvant chemoradiation. However, based on the results of ESPAC-1 and CONKO-001 studies, the oncologists in Europe usually recommend chemotherapy alone. Furthermore, the superiority of gemcitabine over 5-FU in the adjuvant setting is largely unclear. This article reviewed the main results of the clinical trials in the field of adjuvant treatment of pancreatic cancer.From the authors' view, both the standard dosage of gemcitabine (CONCO-001) and chemoradiation (RTOG-9704) after resection of pancreatic cancer could be considered as candidates for adjuvant strategy. However, the optimal therapy will have to be determined by trials with larger number of patients.

Objective To explore the clinical significance and operational methods during extended radical excision for pancreatic cancer combined with portal vein ( PV )/superior mesentery vein ( SMV ) resection,and to investigate the management of iatrogenic arterial injury. Methods Clinical date of 242 patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing extended radical excision were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were divided into three groups, patients with PV/SMV resection were in group A (n = 51 ), patients with iatrogenic arterial injury during operation were in group B(n =5) ,patients without resection of vessels werein group C (n = 186 ). Operating time、volume of intraoperative blood transfusion, time of vascular interruption、the mean hospitalization,postoperative complications and postoperative survival analysis among three groups were compared with each other. Results Operating time in group A、B and C were (442. 85 ± 102. 32 ) min, ( 348. 62 ± 92. 31 ) min and ( 315.00 ± 83.43 ) min respectively, volume of intraoperative blood transfusion were ( 1430. 83 ± 1092. 43 ) ml、( 1420. 22 ± 794. 41 ) ml and ( 928. 19 ±571.57) ml respectively,operating time and volume of intraoperative blood transfusion were of significantly difference(P <0. 05) among the 3 groups,there was no significant difference in the mean hospitalization and postoperative complications. The postoperative median survival period was 18.4 months for patients of pancreatic adenocarcinoma with PV/SMV resection, the postoperative median survival period was 16. 1 months without PV/SMV resection, there was no significant difference between these by postoperative survival analysis. In the 51 cases with vessel resection,7 cases underwent partial resection of the vascular wall,44 cases underwent segmental resection, reconstruction of the portal vein was performed by end-to-end anastomosis in 38 patients, stent graft in 6 cases, the mean length of the PV/SMV resection was (2. 92 ±1.35 ) cm; latrngenic arterial injury occurred during operation in 5 patients ( 1 in hepatic artery, 1 in superior mesenteric artery, 3 in celiac think), the artery was reconstructed by end-to-end anastomosis in 4 cases,repair in 1 case. Conclusions Active and reasonable operation for pancreatic cancer with PV/SMV resection is important for improving the rate of surgical resection and the quality of life. Because of complex topography,iatrogenic vascular injury may happened frequently.
