Benign and low-grade malignant tumors of the pancreatic head have distinct clinicopathological features and a relatively indolent biological behavior, leading to favorable prognoses and high surgical cure rates. When indicated, enucleation enables maximal preservation of pancreatic function with minimal trauma, demonstrating considerable clinical promise. This article focused on recent technical advances in enucleation for pancreatic head tumors and postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) prevention strategies, offering a systematic review of current concepts and clinical practices in the field. In the context of advancing precision surgery and minimally invasive techniques, enucleation—as a pancreatic function-preserving procedure—continues to present challenges in indication selection, intraoperative technique, and perioperative management. Covered topics included preoperative multimodal imaging and three-dimensional reconstruction for tumor localization, the application of intraoperative ultrasound and fluorescence navigation, comparison and selection of surgical approaches (such as anterior, posterior, and retroperitoneal laparoscopic routes), and the advantages and limitations of minimally invasive techniques including robotic and laparoscopic surgery. Proactive strategies for POPF prevention and management were also discussed. Finally, the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and individualized decision-making was emphasized, with the goal of improving surgical safety, reducing complications, and enhancing patient prognosis.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of metabolic associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)and its correlation with metabolic components among personnel on tropical islands.Methods The data of personnel who received health examination on islands in 2024 were analyzed,and they were grouped with the age limit of 30 years old to compare the detection rates of MAFLD and metabolic components in different age groups.In people aged≥ 30 years old,the age,gender,body mass index(BMI),waist circumference(WC),fasting blood glucose,blood lipids,liver function,kidney function and other indexes were compared between MAFLD and non-MAFLD groups.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were conducted to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of MAFLD.The effects of various metabolic components on the risk of MAFLD in different age groups were analyzed by subgroup analyses.Results Among 1213 personnel,175(14.4％)cases had MAFLD,of which 141(80.6％)cases were mild,32(18.3％)were moderate,and 2(1.1％)were severe.The detection rates of MAFLD(25.6％[74/289]vs 10.9％[101/924])and overweight/obesity(55.7％[161/289]vs 37.7％[348/924])in age ≥ 30 years old were significantly higher than those in age＜30 years old(both P＜0.001).In people aged≥ 30 years old,compared with the non-MAFLD group,the BMI,WC,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,alanine transaminase,aspartate transaminase,gamma glutamyltransferase and uric acid(UA)in the MAFLD group were significantly higher(all P＜0.05),and the high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C)was significantly lower(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in age,gender,fast blood glucose,total cholesterol,alkaline phosphatase,total bilirubin,serum creatinine,or blood urea nitrogen(all P＞0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that WC was an independent risk factor for MAFLD(odds ratio[OR]=1.101,95％confidence interval[95％CI]1.030-1.176,P=0.004);HDL-C was an independent protective factor for MAFLD(OR=0.071,95％CI0.016-0.323,P=0.001);and BMI ≥24.0 kg/m2 and WC≥90 cm were positively correlated with MAFLD(both P＜0.01).In people aged≥30 years old,the risk of MAFLD was increased in those with overweight/obesity,arterial blood pressure≥ 130/85 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),TG≥1.7 mmol/L,HDL-C≤1.0 mmol/L and UA＞420 μmol/L(all P＜0.05),and the risk of MAFLD was most significantly increased in overweight/obesity people(hazard ratio[HR]=5.088,95％CI 2.724-9.504,P＜0.001).Among people aged＜30 years old,the risk of MAFLD was increased in those with overweight/obesity and UA＞420 μmol/L(both P＜0.01),and the risk of MAFLD was most significantly increased in overweight/obesity individuals(HR=6.305,95％CI3.973-10.006,P＜0.001).Conclusion The detection rates of MAFLD and various metabolic components are higher in the personnel on tropical islands,and the risk of MAFLD is higher in those with overweight/obesity,TG≥1.7 mmol/L and hyperuricemia.

Objective:To explore the expression of family with sequence similarity 83 member A (FAM83A) in colorectal cancer, and the effect of FAM83A knockdown on the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells and the related mechanism.Methods:The expression of FAM83A in the tissues of 102 patients with colorectal cancer and its adjacent tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. HCT116 cells were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group cells were transfected with FAM83A-siRNA plasmid, and the control group cells were transfected with MOCK-siRNA plasmid. The mRNA content of FAM83A in each group was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. The expressions of FAM83A, P13K, p-AKT and p-mTOR in each group were detected by Western blot. CCK8 assay and clonogenesis assay were used to detect cell proliferation.Results:The positive rate of FAM83A in colorectal cancer patients was 88.23% (90 cases /102 cases), and the expression rate of FAM83A in paracancer tissues was 10.78% (11 cases /102 cases). The expression rate of Fam83a in colorectal cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancer tissues, with statistical significance ( P<0.001). After siRNA transfection, the mRNA expression levels of FAM83A in HCT116 cells of the experimental group and control group were 1.23±0.20 and 0.43±0.12, respectively, and the protein expression levels of FAM83A were 1.19±0.11 and 0.23±0.08, respectively. The expression levels of P13K were 1.21±0.17 and 0.28±0.09, the expression levels of p-AKT were 1.35±0.23 and 0.57±0.18, and the expression levels of p-mTOR were 1.48±0.20 and 1.05±0.14. The expression of P13K, p-Akt and p-mTOR was down-regulated (all P<0.05). The absorbance of HCT116 cells in the experimental group and the control group was 1.09±0.22 and 2.21±0.27, respectively. The cloning rate of HCT116 cells in the experimental group and the control group was 21.6%±2.4% and 62.7%±4.1%, respectively. The proliferation ability of HCT116 cells in the experimental group decreased significantly ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The expression of FAM83A is significantly increased in colorectal cancer tissues, which may be related to the malignant degree of colorectal cancer. FAM83A affects the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells through the P13K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective: To investigate the outbreak of mumps in a remote village school of Zhaoqing City, to evaluate and vaccine effectiveness ( VE ) of mumps containing vaccine (MuCV), so as to provide reference for the formulation of epidemic prevention and control strategies. Methods: Through on site case investigations and interviews, case data and epidemic related epidemiological information were obtained. Descriptive and retrospective cohort studies were used to analyze the epidemic characteristics, explore risk factors, and evaluate the protective effect of vaccines. Results: Totally 166 cases of mumps were found, and all of them were students. The total attack rate was 7.79% and the outbreak lasted for 60 days. The first case occurred on October 11th and the last case occurred on December 9th in 2018. Most of the cases aged from 10 to 13 years old, accounting for 66.27%. There were 96 male patients and 70 female patients, with no statistically significant sex difference in the incidence rate ( χ 2=2.40, P >0.05). Involving 28 classes, 11 of which had an incidence rate more than 10%, mainly distributed in grades 2, 4 and 6. There were statistically significant differences in incidence rates among different grades ( χ 2=96.89, P <0.01) and different floors ( χ 2=67.35, P < 0.01 ), with the third floor higher than the other floors. Twelve out of 58 boarding pupils were cases, and boarding pupils were 1.89 times higher in risk of contracting mumps than day students ( RR=1.89, 95%CI =1.10-3.23). Pupils without being given the shot of MuCV were higher in the infection rate than those having the shot ( χ 2=5.70, P <0.05), and the VE % was 35% (95% CI = 7%- 55%). The VE % of one dose was 34% (4%-54%), while the effectiveness of protection was declined with time ( χ 2 trend =6.53, P < 0.05). The effectiveness of vaccine almost diasappeared six years after the shot ( χ 2=1.12, P >0.05). Conclusion Delayed case report and isolation, low rate of receiving MuCV, and decreasing effectiveness of one shot MuCV are closely assocaited with the outbreak and ongoing spread of the epidemic.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between the clinical medical college students' time investment (including study, activities, entertainment and exercise) and general self-efficacy (GSE) in a medical university in Liaoning province, China.Methods:The first-year medical students were asked to participate the survey. Their GSE was measured by using general self-efficacy scale (GSES) in 2018. One year later, the independent variable table was used to investigate the extracurricular activity time, and 683 valid questionnaires were collected. Ordered logistic regression method was used to analyze the correlation between students' extracurricular activities and GSE.Results:Medical students' GSE was positively associated with their time in extracurricular study ( OR = 1.94, 95%CI = 1.49-2.54), volunteer activities ( OR=1.36, 95%CI = 1.01-1.83), and physical activities ( OR = 1.37, 95%CI = 1.01-1.85). However, there was no significant correlation with the time in activities organized by students ( OR = 1.09, 95%CI = 0.79-1.50) or activities organized by school ( OR = 1.15, 95%CI = 0.84-1.59). Furthermore, compared with clinical students of "5+3" year program, the 5-year program clinical students had a stronger correlation between medical students' GSE and the input of extracurricular study time. Conclusion:There is a positive correlation between medical students' GSE and their extracurricular time investment, which indicates that increasing medical students' GSE could be an effective method to improve their extracurricular time investment and eventually improve their comprehensive quality.

Objective:To understand the 10-year risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease (ICVD) in hypertensive patients in communities in Shenzhen, and to provide baseline data for the comprehensive implementation of community-based hypertension health management measures based on ICVD risk assessment.Methods:From July 2017 to June 2018, 200 community health service centers in 10 districts of Shenzhen were selected by multi-stage random sampling to investigate hypertensive patients in communities aged≥35. After the patients who met the inclusion criteria signed the informed consent form, the demographic characteristics, physical examination, and laboratory tests were conducted. The absolute risk of ICVD in 10 years was evaluated by using the ICVD risk assessment module from the Shenzhen community health service information system. According to the China 10-year risk for ICVD score tables, recommended by the Chinese cardiovascular disease prevention guidelines, the risk grade of ICVD was estimated and analyzed. In addition, the relative risk was used to eliminate the influence of gender and age, and the single sample t-test was used for comparisons with the larger population. Results:30 015 hypertensive patients from communities were investigated, including 16 165 (53.86%) males and 13 850 (46.14%) females, aged 35-102 years, with a median age of 59.0. 6 405 (21.34%), 5 771 (19.23%) and 17 839 (59.43%) were at high, medium and low risk of ICVD, respectively. The absolute risk was 3.77%, 95% CI (3.72%-3.82%). The risk grades of ICVD in 10 years was different as per gender, age, marital status, population type， smoking, family history of hypertension, history of diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, and total cholesterol level, P values were all<0.001. The risk grades of ICVD in males, married patients, floating populations, having a total cholesterol <5.20 mmol/L, non-smokers, non-diabetics, and having a family history of hypertension were lower than that of other characteristics, and increased with age, systolic blood pressure, and body mass index. Further analysis of 15 652 patients aged 35-59 years old showed that the 10-year risk of ICVD in patients with hypertension in communities was slightly higher than that of the larger population, and the relative risk was 1.27, 95% CI (1.25-1.28), t=37.648, P<0.001. In males, relative risk was 0.94, 95% CI (0.93-0.95), t= 9.906, P<0.001, and there were no significant trend changes among age groups. In females, relative risk was 2.05, 95% CI (2.01-2.09), t=72.207, P<0.001, and increased with age. Conclusion:The 10-year risk of ICVD in hypertensive patients is often at a high level in Shenzhen, so it is necessary to carry out the risk assessment of ICVD in the community. The effect of community hypertension health management on reducing the risk of ICVD may vary between genders. The risk of ICVD in male patients is lower than that of males in the larger population, but in female patients it is still much higher.

Objective:To investigate the expression and its clinical significance of cydooxygenase-2(COX-2)and tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)in mucosal tissues in elderly ulcerative colitis(UC)patients with arthritis.Methods:A total of 164 active(observation group)and 50 non-active(control group)UC patients with arthritis were admitted in our hospital from April 2016 to March 2019.Diagnostic criteria of UC and its severity were based on Consensus on the Norms for Diagnosis and Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in China(2007). The expressions of COX-2 and TNF-alpha in mucosal tissues were detected and compared between the two groups.Patients in the observation group were re-grouped according to the severity of ulcer lesion and Kellgren-Lawrence(K-L)score of arthritis.Based on severity of ulcer lesion and Kellgren-Lawrence(K-L)score of arthritis, the patients in observation group were re-grouped intoⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ subgroups, among those subgroups the expressions of COX-2 and TNF-alpha in mucosal tissues were compared.Results:The expressions of COX-2 and TNF-alpha in mucosal tissue were higher in the observation group than in the control group( P<0.05), and were increased along with the increased severity of UC and the K-L grade of arthritis( P<0.05). The differences in above expressions had statistical significance among patients with different severity of ulcer and different K-L grade of arthritis.The expressions of COX-2 and TNF-alpha in mucosal tissues were positively correlated with the severity of ulcer( r=0.491 and 0.627, P<0.05 or 0.01)and K-L grade of arthritis( r=0.438 and 0.597, P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions:The expressions of COX-2 and TNF-alpha in mucosal tissues are positively correlated with the severity of ulcer and K-L grade of arthritis in elderly UC patients with arthritis.The detection of COX-2 and TNF-alpha levels is helpful to evaluate the disease severity.

Objective To explore the effect of first-line anti-tuberculosis treatment on vitamin D level in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis,and to master the changes of vitamin D level in the course of treatment,so as to provide a scientific basis for tuberculosis and nutrition health education in Shenzhen.Methods A total of 100 patients diagnosed as smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis and receiving initial treatment in 2016 were enrolled and all the patients were treated with the standardized short-course chemotherapy regimens.The blood samples were extracted before treatment and at the ends of intensive and continuation phase.The 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH) D] concentrations were determined by chemiluminescence (CLIA) at each time point.The change of 25-(OH) D concentrations during anti-tuberculosis treatment was analyzed and the differences of vitamin D levels between different time points were identified.Results 79 (79.0％),94 (94.0％) and 96 (96.0％) patients were found vitamin D deficiency before treatment and at the end of the intensive and continuation phases respectively,which showed an upward trend (x2=15.543,P＜0.001) and the 25-(OH)D concentrations were (15.74±6.54) ng/ml,(12.56±5.15) ng/ml,(11.51±4.28) ng/ml,respectively.During the whole course of treatment,the 25-(OH) D concentration decreased by 26.9％ or (4.23 ± 6.75) ng/ml (t =6.257,P＜0.001),wherein it decreased (3.18 ± 5.24) ng/ml in intensive phase (t =6.069,P＜ 0.001) and (1.05±4.86) ng/ml in continuation phase (t =2.154,P =0.034).The former had a greater decreased value (t=2.836,P=0.006).There were 77 (77.0％) and 55 (55.0％) patients with 25-(OH)D concentration reduction in intensive and continuation phases respectively (x2 =9.680,P =0.003),of which 41 patients (41.0％) continued to decline.Conclusion Once anti-tuberculosis treatment is conducted,the vitamin D level will decrease rapidly in the intensive phase and continue decreasing throughout the course of treatment,which leads to a general lack of vitamin D in patients with primary pulmonary tuberculosis.First-line anti-tuberculosis drugs may be the main cause for vitamin D level reduction.Therefore,it is necessary for clinicians to strengthen vitamin D health education for each patient throughout the treatment period,especially for those at high risk of vitamin D deficiency who should be recommended adjuvant vitamin D supplementation therapy.

Objective To investigate the situation and the causes of neonatal death in Henan Province.Methods This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 277 neonates who died at 18 hospitals in Henan Province in 2017.Distribution and causes of neonatal deaths,differences between perinatal conditions of premature and term/post-term infants,causes of early (＜ 7 d) and late (7-28 d) neonatal deaths and the differences in neonatal death cases between Maternal and Child Health Care Hospitals and General/Children's Hospitals were analyzed.We used t,rank-sum and Chi-square test (or corrected Chi-square test,or Fisher's exact test) for statistical analysis.Results (1) A total of 50 993 newboms were admitted to the 18 hospitals in 2017,297 of which died with a mortality of 5.82‰.After excluding 20 cases with uncertain birth or maternal pregnancy history or clinical data,277 cases with complete data were analyzed.Among them,168 (60.6％) were preterm neonates and 109 (39.4％) were term/post-term ones.Early and late neonatal deaths accounted for 74.0％ (205 cases) and 26.0％ (72 cases),respectively.(2) The top five causes of neonatal deaths were infection (78 cases,28.2％),asphyxia (54 cases,19.5％),neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS,33 cases,11.9％),severe congenital malformations (26 cases,9.4％) including cyanotic congenital heart diseases,digestive malformations,airway malformations and neural tube defects and pulmonary hemorrhage (23 cases,8.3％).Among them,the top three causes of early neonatal deaths were asphyxia (48 cases,23.4％),infection (43 cases,21.0％) and NRDS (33 cases,16.1％),while the main causes of late neonatal deaths were infection (35 cases,48.6％),major congenital malformations (9 cases,12.5％) and chromosome abnormities/inherited metabolic diseases (7 cases,9.7％).(3) Maternal complications during pregnancy accounted for 79.1％ (219 cases) and the predominant types were pregnancy-induced hypertension (43 cases,19.6％),followed by infection (36 cases,16.4％),placental-related conditions (32 cases,14.6％),gestational diabetes mellitus (23 cases,10.5％),hypothyroidism (20 cases,9.1％),fetal distress (18,8.2％),twin-twin transfusion syndrome (10 cases,4.6％) and cholestasis syndrome (9 cases,4.1％).(4) Compared with the term/post-term cases,the preterm cases had higher proportions of multiple births [27.4％ (46/168) vs 6.4％ (9/109),x2=14.016,P ＜ 0.05],assisted reproduction [7.1％ (12/168) vs 0.9％ (1/109),x2=4.421,P ＜ 0.05] and maternal hypertensive disorders of pregnancy [21.4％ (36/1 68) vs 6.4％ (7/109),x2=11.353,P ＜ 0.05],infection [16.7％ (28/168) vs 7.3％ (8/109),x2=4.295,P ＜ 0.05] and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome [6.0％ (10/168) vs 0.0％ (0/109),x2=6.707,P ＜ 0.05].(5) Among all the early neonatal deaths,preterm cases had a higher incidence of NRDS than term/post-term neonates [20.3％ (27/133) vs 8.3％ (6/72),x2=1 1.937,P ＜ 0.05],but lower incidence of meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS),severe congenital malformations and chromosome abnormalities/inherited metabolic diseases [0.8％ (1/133) vs 5.6％ (4/72),x2=4.508;3.8％ (5/133) vs 16.7％ (12/72),x2=10.233;1.5％ (2/133) vs 6.9％ (5/72),~=4.172;all P ＜ 0.05].Among the late neonatal deaths,the incidence of severe intracranial hemorrhage in preterm infants was higher than that in term/post-term neonates [7.1％ (3/42) vs 0.0％ (0/30),x2=2.205,P ＜ 0.05].(6) Compared with the cases in General/Children's Hospitals,those in Maternal and Child Health Care Hospitals showed a higher proportion of preterm neonatal deaths [67.3％ (105/156) vs 52.1％ (63/121),x2=6.010,P ＜ 0.05],younger gestational age [(32.8±5.3) weeks vs (34.6±4.9) weeks,t=3.072,P ＜ 0.05],lower birth weight [(2 132.6± 1 014.5) g vs (2 409.4±987.3) g,t=-2.513,P ＜ 0.05],and higher average age of death [M(P25-P75),3 (1-8) d vs 2 (1-4) d,Z=3.710,P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions Neonatal death occurs mainly within one week after birth in those with maternal complications.Late preterm deaths and term/post-term cases account for nearly half of total neonatal deaths.The causes of death for preterm and term/post-term newborns vary with postnatal age.Infection,asphyxia and severe congenital malformations are important causes of neonatal deaths.

Objective To clarify the status of tobacco exposure and identify risk factors of smoking among smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Shenzhen,in order to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of tuberculosis-tobacco control strategy in Shenzhen.Methods From January to December 2016,a special survey was carried out in 8 districts in Shenzhen.A unified questionnaire was used to make face to face interviews for 958 smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients registered in 2016.Descriptive statistics was conducted to analyze the status of tobacco exposure.Single factor analysis and multiple logistic regression were used to identify the important risk factors of smoking.Results Among smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Shenzhen,the rates of general smoking,current smoking,regular smoking were 40.9％,34.2％ and 30％,respectively.All smoking rates were higher among male than female participants (x2=255.226,197.463 and 162.707,respectively,and the P values were all＜0.001);164cases of heavy smokers accounted for 50.0％ of current smokers.Among 392 smokers,64 had quitted smoking,and the rate of smoking cessation was 16.3％.Among 566 nonsmokers,the rate of passive smoking from cohabiting smokers was 17.8％ (101/566),and it was higher in female than male participants (23.1％ vs.12.3％,x2=11.219,P=0.001).In single factor analysis,gender,work or living environment,age,education level,marital status,and body mass index were closely related to smoking (x2=255.226,28.375,40.922,29.585,9.117,and 7.052,respectively,and the P values were all＜0.05).In multiple logistic regression,the major risk factors for smoking included in the model were gender (x2=120.797,P＜0.001),age (x2=5.728,P=0.017),education level (x2=17.159,P＜0.001),mode of case-finding (x2=3.670,P=0.055),work or living environment (x2=6.039,P=0.049),and marital status (x2=5.091,P=0.078).Conclusion The smoking status of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients was serious in Shenzhen.Tuberculosis patients were the key smokers.We should provide accurate intervention and health guidance for patients,such as,macro policy guidance,instillation of knowledge,mental health intervention,and smoke-free environment.
