Objective:To explore whether perioperative oral probiotic therapy reduces infectious complications following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), aiming to obtain higher-level evidence for clinical practice.Methods:A total of 81 participants undergoing PD at the Department of Pancreatic and Metabolic Surgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital & Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, from May 2024 to December 2024 were enrolled in this single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial. The participants were randomly divided into a probiotic treatment group and a control group (receiving conventional treatment without probiotics) using a random number method. The primary outcomes included the incidence of postoperative infectious complications and intra-abdominal infection, and the secondary outcomes were the recovery of gastrointestinal function, postoperative hospital stay, and duration and costs of antibiotic use. The hematological indicators including inflammation and immune markers on postoperative days (POD) 1, 3, 5, and 7 were also compared between these two groups.Results:Finally 72 cases (39 males and 33 females) were analyzed, with 36 patients in the probiotic treatment group and 36 patients in the control group. Compared to the control group, the probiotic treatment group showed statistically significant reductions in the incidence of infectious complications (33.3% vs. 66.7%, P=0.029), intra-abdominal infection (27.8% vs. 58.3%, P=0.030), and incidence of delayed gastric emptying (0 vs. 16.7%, P=0.033). Also, the probiotic treatment group exhibited significantly faster recovery in postoperative bowel movements and shorter time to defecation, liquid diet, and semi-liquid diet (all P<0.05). Additionally, the probiotic treatment group had significantly shorter hospital stay, reduced duration of antibiotic use, and lower antibiotic costs (all P<0.05). Finally, the probiotic treatment group had significantly higher lymphocyte counts on POD 1 ( P<0.05) and showed a significant downward trend in inflammatory markers such as interleukin-6 on PODs 3 and 5 and C-reactive protein on POD 7 (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Perioperative application of probiotic preparations in PD may reduce the incidence of postoperative infectious complications, especially intra-abdominal infection. Additionally, it can prevent delayed gastric emptying, promote the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function, shorten hospital stay, and reduce the use of antibiotics. These benefits may be related to the improvement of postoperative inflammatory status.

ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence of anxiety and its related social factors in undergraduate student,in order to provide scientific evidence for the prevention of anxiety in undergraduate.MethodsThe cluster random sampling was adopted for this study,and 965 college students from Zhengzhou University were investigated by Personal Report of Communication Apprehension,Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire,Toronto Alexithymia Scale,Perceived Social Support Scale and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale.Results①The anxiety detection rate of respondents was 19.3%.There were significant differences in the detection rate and severity of anxiety between genders(Male:27.0%,Female:10.2% ) and grades( Freshman:16.4%,Junior:23.8% ) in the college students (P < 0.05).There were not significant difference in different family residence students anxiety detection rate and level(P > 0.05 ).②The scores of communication apprehension ( ( 69.31 ± 12.32),( 65.25 ± 12.56) ),positive coping style( (20.84 ±5.10),(23.99 ±5.18) ),negative coping style( ( 11.03 ±4.15),(09.18 ±3.96) ),Toronto alexithymia( (74.97 ± 6.93 ),(70.31 ± 7.98 ) ) and perceived social support ( (53.14 ± 5.78 ),(57.02 ± 5.79) ) of the anxiety group were significantly different with those of the normal group (P < 0.05).③The significant relationship was found among anxiety emotions and gender,positive coping style,negative coping style,Toronto alexithymia and perceived social support by using Logistic regression analysis (P< 0.05 ).ConclusionsThe prevalence of anxiety in undergraduate students is relatively high and it is related with multiple factors.In addition,social support,alexithymia and coping style have a close correlation with anxiety in undergraduates.
