Objective To investigate the local anatomical characteristics of the cyctic duct and the feasibility of bile duct exploration through the cystic duct for stone removal and primary suture.Methods From February to September 2023,100 cases of secondary choledocholithiasis(SCL)were treated with laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration(LTCBDE).During the operation,6 indicators were measured,including the direction of the gallbladder duct joining the common bile duct,the inner diameter of the gallbladder duct,the length of the gallbladder duct incision,the length of the gallbladder duct parallel to the common bile duct,the distance between the incised gallbladder duct or common bile duct and the upper edge of the duodenum,and the diameter of the stone taken by the cholangioscopy.Results The direction of the gallbladder duct joining into the common bile duct:92 cases at 9-12 o'clock,of which 76 cases at 10 and 11 o'clock,accounting for 76%;1 case each at 1 and 2 o'clock,accounting for 2%;2 and 4 cases at7 and 8 o'clock respectively,accounting for6%.The inner diameter of the cystic duct ranged from 3 mm to13 mm,with a median of 5.0 mm.The length of the common bile duct opened:21 cases(21%)had the common bile duct cut open,with an incision of 1-5 mm and a median of 3.0 mm.The parallel length of gallbladder duct and common bile duct:there was a parallel length of 2-40 mm and a median of 10.0 mm in36 cases.The distance between the incised gallbladder duct or common bile duct and the upper edge of the duodenum was5-20 mm,with a median of 15.0 mm.Intraoperative choledochoscope was used in 90 cases to remove stones,with a total of 128 stones removed.The diameter of the stones ranged from 1.5 mm to 22.0 mm,with a median of 5.0 mm.All the100 cases of LTCBDE were successful.A total of 83 cases(83%)were followed up for 3 months after surgery.After discharge,their appetite returned to normal,and they resumed normal life and work.There were no symptoms of bile duct stones such as abdominal pain,jaundice,or fever,and their liver function was normal.B-ultrasound showed a diameter of 5-10 mm for the common bile duct,with a median of 7 mm,and no postoperative stenosis.Conclusions Exploring the common bile duct through the cystic duct is feasible,with no or minimal damage to the common bile duct and no damage to the Oddi sphincter.It is the best way and surgical technique for laparoscopic exploration and stone removal via choledochoscope in SCL.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of membrane anatomy in laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted,involving 33 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer guided by membrane anatomy(observation group)from April 2023 to April 2024,compared with 35 patients who underwent traditional total mesorectal excision(control group)from March 2022 to March 2023.Surgical indicators(duration of surgery,intraoperative blood loss,and number of lymph nodes dissected)and postoperative recovery were compared between the two groups.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the operation time between the two groups[(173.8±14.7)min in the observation group vs.(179.1±15.3)min in the control group,t=-1.437,P=0.156].There were also no statistically significant differences in the postoperative hospital stay[(9.4±1.4)d vs.(9.8±2.4)d,t=-0.859,P=0.394]and in the incidence of various complications[12.1%(4/33)vs.20.0%(7/35),χ2=0.778,P=0.378].The intraoperative blood loss in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group[(34.6±10.8)ml vs.(81.0±14.3)ml,t=-15.156,P=0.000].The number of lymph nodes dissected in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(19.8±1.3 vs.12.4±1.9,t=18.684,P=0.000).The time to first flatus after surgery in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group[(50.4±6.5)h vs.(55.2±8.9)h,t=-2.557,P=0.013].The postoperative drainage time in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group[(5.9±1.1)d vs.(6.5±1.0)d,t=-2.532,P=0.014].A total of 66 cases were followed up for 8-39 months,with a median time of 25 months.The observation group had no metastasis,local recurrence,or death,while the control group had 1 case of liver metastasis,1 case of local recurrence,and 1 case of death from other systemic diseases.Conclusions The application of membrane anatomy in laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer can ensure complete mesorectal excision,expand the surgical field of view,minimize intraoperative bleeding,and enhance the thoroughness of lymph node dissection,thereby improving surgical quality.However,it fails to shorten the operation time.

Background: Epimedii Folium is well known for its medicinal value. Four Epimedium species—Euphorbia brevicornu, E. sagittatum, E. pubescens, and E. koreanum—are the designated original plants of Epimedii Folium. Objective: The objective of this study is to facilitate the identification of the four Epimedium species and clarify their distributional responses to climate change. Methods: In this study, we assessed the genetic divergence of the four species and identified the molecular markers for species identification by using chloroplast genome sequences. Furthermore, we forecasted the distribution of potentially suitable regions of the four species Folium under climate change. Results: The authors obtained 26 chloroplast genome sequences of the four species and identified 1393 variable sites and 273 indel events. Genetic divergence analyses revealed that E. koreanum had long genetic distance from the other three species. Compared with the complete chloroplast genome, six hypervariable markers were discovered, and both rps4-trnL and ndhF were chosen as Epimedii Folium-specific DNA barcodes. Climate change is expected to influence the geographical distribution of the four Epimedium species, which were primarily found in China, South Korea, and Japan, leading to both expansion and contraction of their distribution ranges. Conclusion: Two identification markers were selected as the specific DNA barcodes for all four original plant species of Epimedii Folium. In addition, the shift of potential suitable area in various climate scenarios has been predicted. With the support of identification markers and the dynamics of suitable distribution areas, we are able to establish a foundation for the sustainable utilization of medicinal Epimedium resources in the future.
