When partial nephrectomy is performed by posterior abdominal approach, the surgical field is poorly exposed, resulting in increased surgical difficulty and risk of injury.In this study, 28 patients with T 1a stage kidney tumors underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Intraoperatively, exposure of the surgical field was achieved using the percutaneous puncture of the renal fascia suspension technique. There were no dissatisfactory exposures due to peritoneal damage during the surgery, no additional tubes were inserted, and no conversions to open surgery were needed. The operation time was (76.5±20.3) minutes, blood loss was (92.1±18.7) ml, renal artery clamping time was (19.5±4.3) minutes. Postoperatively, there were no complications such as bleeding, infection, or hematuria.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of early gastric cancer with mixed histological staging, and to analyze the prognostic effect of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer.Methods:Clinical data of early gastric cancer patients treated with ESD in Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital from January 2011 to March 2020 were collected, and clinicopathological characteristics of patients with mixed-type early gastric cancer were analyzed by descriptive statistical methods. The clinical effects and influencing factors of ESD on early gastric cancer were analyzed by logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier was used to estimate the survival rate, and log-rank test was used to compare the survival rate.Results:A total of 269 patients (280 lesions) were included in this study, including 216 males (80.30%) and 53 females (19.70%), with age of 60.43±8.01 years. There were 25 lesions (8.93%) of mixed early gastric cancer, 248 lesions (88.57%) of differentiated early gastric cancer, and 7 lesions (2.50%) of undifferentiated early gastric cancer. Compared with differentiated and undifferentiated early gastric cancer, the lesion site of mixed early gastric cancer was mainly located in the upper 1/3 of the stomach [64.00% (16/25), 40.73% (101/248) VS 0.00% (0/7), χ2=10.211, P=0.006], the proportion of the lesion size ≤2 cm was relatively small [52.00% (13/25), 80.65% (200/248) VS 85.71% (6/7), χ2=11.173, P=0.004], and the proportion of infiltration depth in the mucosa was lower [52.00% (13/25), 85.48% (212/248) VS 57.14% (4/7), χ2=20.019, P<0.001], the proportion of positive vertical resection margin was relatively high [20.00% (5/25), 2.82% (7/248) VS 0.00% (0/7), χ2=16.657, P<0.001], the proportion of vascular invasion was higher than that of differentiated carcinoma but lower than that of undifferentiated carcinoma [36.00% (9/25), 2.42% (6/248) VS 42.86% (3/7), χ2=58.413, P<0.001], the complete resection rate was lower [76.00% (19/25), 93.15% (231/248) VS 100.00% (7/7), χ2=9.497, P=0.009], the curative resection rate was lower than that of differentiated early gastric cancer, but higher than that of undifferentiated early gastric cancer [48.00% (12/25), 89.52% (222/248) VS 42.86% (3/7), χ2=39.757, P<0.001], and the proportion of eCura grade C2 was higher than that of differentiated cancer, but lower than that of undifferentiated cancer [48.00% (12/25), 5.65% (14/248) VS 57.14% (4/7), χ2=58.766, P<0.001]. The results of multivariate analysis showed that the larger lesions ( P=0.004, OR=0.539, 95% CI: 0.354-0.822) was the risk factor for curative resection. In terms of infiltration depth, mucosal ( P=0.001, OR=51.799, 95% CI: 5.535-84.768) and submucosal 1 ( P<0.001, OR=29.301, 95% CI: 24.694-73.972) were protective factors for curative resection compared with submucosal 2. In terms of differentiation degree, compared with mixed type, differentiated type ( P=0.024, OR=3.947, 95% CI: 1.195-13.032) was the protective factor for curative resection, while undifferentiated type ( P=0.443, OR=0.424, 95% CI: 0.048-3.788) showed no difference between curative resection and mixed type. During the follow-up, 7 patients died. The overall survival time was 114.42±0.97 months, and the 5-year survival rate was 97.10%. There was no significant difference in the survival rate of early gastric cancer patients with different degrees of differentiation ( χ2=0.434, P=0.805). The survival rate of early gastric cancer patients with or without curative resection was significantly different ( χ2=4.081, P=0.043). Conclusion:Mixed early gastric cancer patients show high margin positive rate, vascular infiltration, and less curative resection than differentiated early gastric cancer. Therefore, the process of treating mixed early gastric cancer should be more rigorous. The long-term survival prognosis of early gastric cancer after ESD treatment is promising.

Objective To explore the preoperative predictive factors influencing microscopic positive proximal margin in upper gastric cancer,and to establish a nomogram prediction model and to validate it internally.Methods Retrospective analysis of 187 patients with upper gastric cancer operated in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Hengshui People's Hospital from January 2018 to October 2022 were included in this study.Patients were divided into the microscopic positive proximal margin(the R0 group,n=15)and the negative microscopic proximal margin group(the R1 group,n=172)according to histopathological diagnosis.Preoperative factors that may influence positive upper margin of proximal gastric cancer were collected,including patient age,gender,tumor size,tumor location,Borrmann staging,tumor differentiation,Lauren staging,cT stage and cN stage.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to figure out the optimal cut-off value for predicting positive margin of proximal gastric cancer by tumor length.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the variables with statistical difference between the two groups,and independent risk factors were screened out,and prediction mode was constructed.The prediction accuracy of the model was verified internally using Bootstrap method.Results The best threshold for predicting positive margin of proximal gastric cancer by tumor length was 4.85 cm.Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in tumor length,tumor location,Borrmann staging,Lauren staging,cT staging and cN staging between the two groups(all P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that tumor length>4.85 cm(OR=4.000,95%CI:1.039-15.399),tumor located in esophagogastric junction(OR=7.108,95%CI:1.604-31.494),Borrmann staging Ⅲ—Ⅳ(OR=6.991,95%CI:1.538-31.782),Lauren staging as diffuse or mixed(OR=7.583,95%CI:1.814-31.701)and cT staging as cT4(OR=8.249,95%CI:1.890-36.007)were independent predictors of microscopic positive proximal margin of advanced upper gastric cancer before surgery,and a prediction model was established based on results of multivariate analysis.The area under ROC curve(AUC)value for subjects with the model was 0.862 after internal validation.The calibration curve showed that the model predicted the probability of microscopic positive proximal margin occurrence in good agreement with the probability of actual microscopic positive proximal margin occurrence(Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2=6.145,P=0.523).Conclusion The established nomogram prediction model can predict the probability of positive upper incisal margin of proximal gastric cancer before operation,and provide clinical guidance for formulating surgical strategy.

Objective:To analyze the molecular characteristics of antibiotic resistance in Helicobacter pylori(HP)and provide a molecular bio-logical basis for clinical eradication of HP by means of rational antibiotic use.Methods:From February 2019 to November 2023,1,144 pa-tients at the Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital who tested positive for HP using the 14C-urea breath test were enrolled in the study.Antibiotic resistance and related molecular characteristics of HP,and CYP2C19 polymorphisms in the patients were detected by diffusion drug suscept-ibility testing,drug resistance gene testing,and next-generation sequencing,respectively.Results:Among the six antibiotics assessed,the resistance rate and the prevalence of resistance genes(rdxA)were highest for metronidazole(92.00%and 86.12%,respectively),and lowest for amoxicillin(Pbp1)(11.78%and 37.11%,respectively).The prevalence of CYP2C19 alleles showed that 46.77%,44.58%,and 8.65%of par-ticipants were fast,medium,and slow metabolizers,respectively.Of the participants,148(18.55%)had immunohistochemical sphericity.The eradication rate of HP lower using conventional treatment regimens than that using personalized treatment regimens(χ2=8.627,P=0.003).The HP eradication rate was higher among patients with a first diagnosis of drug resistancebased on molecular testing,than that in patients undergoing retreatment(χ2=6.242,P=0.012).Conclusions:The prevalence of amoxicillin-resistant HP is low in Wuwei City,which has a high incidence of gastric cancer.Molecular diagnosis of antimicrobial resistance could improve the HP eradication rate and provide a refer-ence for rational use of antibiotics in clinical practice.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of suicidal behavior in children and provide a reference for further developing strategies for preventing childhood suicide.Methods:The medical records of children hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit（PICU）at Beijing Children's Hospital for suicidal behavior in the electronic medical record system from January 1,2018,to December 31,2022 were retrospectively selected.Clinical data of children with suicidal behavior were collected.Results:A total of 3 249 patients were admitted to the PICU,including 62 suicide patients.There were 20(32.3%) males,and 42(67.7%) females,with a male-to-female ratio of 1:2.1.The average age was (13.1 ± 1.5) years old,with a minimum age of 7.9 years and a maximum age of 15.7 years.There were 17 (27.4%) children with previously diagnosed mental illnesses.Notably 58.1% children had triggering factors for suicidal behavior.Analysis of suicide methods,53(85.5%) cases were intentional drug ingestion,six(9.7%) cases were jumping from height,and three(4.8%) cases were hanging.Additionally 26.4% cases of poisoning were male,while 66.7% of cases of jumping from height and hanging were male.There was a statistical difference in suicide methods between genders (χ 2=5.704, P=0.025).The poisoning ingestions were classified as 20(37.7%) cases of toxins; 14(26.4%) cases of antidepressants; 10(18.9%) cases of over-the-counter drugs; five(9.4%) cases of other prescription drugs; three(5.7%) cases of sedative drugs; one(1.9%) case of daily chemical.Sources of ingestions: 18(34.0%) cases were purchased personally (pharmacies or online shopping); 16(30.2%) cases were storing medicines at home; 13(24.5%) cases were daily taking antidepressants.Compared with non-poisoning patients,poisoning patients had a significantly shorter PICU duration (Z=-2.884, P=0.004).The total mortality rate of children admitted to PICU due to suicide was 16.1%(10/62).There was a statistical difference in the mortality rate among different suicide methods (χ 2=7.883, P=0.019). Conclusion:School aged children and boys are more likely to choose impulsive and more harmful suicide behaviors such as jumping from heights and hanging,and adolescent girls are more likely to choose intentional poisoning as their suicide method.Attention should be paid to the suicide risk of different age and gender groups.Intentional drug ingestion is the main method of suicide in children.Herbicide poisoning and antidepressant drug poisoning are the leading causes of suicide death.The death risk of suicidal behavior in children may be reduced by controlling the way of getting pesticides (especially herbicides) and obtaining maximum doses of antidepressants.

This report described one human leukocyte antigen pre-sensitized recipient undergoing preoperative plasmapheresis (PP), intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) desensitization and immune induction therapy before kidney transplantation with a donor kidney. Early postoperative clinical diagnosis was acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). A marked elevation of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) was accompanied by a decline of renal function. PP/IVIG dosing failed to lower the level of DSA. After low-dose splenic irradiation, DSA level dropped steadily and transplanted kidney function normalized. Thus adjuvant low-dose splenic irradiation may eliminate DSA immediately without a rebound.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in late antibody-mediated rejection (late AMR) after kidney transplantation (KT).Methods:From December 2020 to December 2021, the relevant clinical data were reviewed for 8 patients with late AMR after receiving daratumumab at Affiliated Tongji Hospital. In intensive phase, the combination of plasma exchange (PP)/intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and daratumumab were dosed once a week; in maintenance phase, once every 2 to 4 weeks. The levels of donor-specific antibody (DSA) and renal function were compared pre-treatment and Month 3/12 post-treatment. The treatment-related toxicities were observed. Independent sample T test was utilized for inter-group comparison.Results:The median treatment course during intensive period was 9(4-17) sessions. Maintenance treatment lasted for 5 to 19 months and 2 cases withdrew after 5 to 6 treatments for achieving antibody clearance. A total of 11 DSAs were detected in 8 recipients. At Month 3/12, mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of DSA was 6 016±4 775 and 6 438±3 668. Both were significantly lower than 11 944±5 237 pre-treatment and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.012, 0.004). Seven recipients achieved stable renal function during treatment and one recipient resumed hemodialysis at Month 18 due to acute rejection. Glomerular filtration rate of 7 recipients was (40.6±20.1), (53.6±20.9) and (49.0±17.2) ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1 pre-treatment and Month 3/12 and no significant differences existed among different timepoints. During follow-ups, 2 cases developed mild nasal congestion during an early stage of daratumumab infusion while the remainders had no obvious discomfort during infusion and tolerance was decent. Conclusion:Early combination of daratumumab with PP/IVIG, followed by a course of daratumumab has demonstrated an excellent antibody reduction effect on late AMR. During treatment, renal function remains generally stable.

The infection of influenza virus affects multiple organs and systems like the respiratory system in children, leading to severe influenza.High-risk children are particularly prone to severe influenza and even death.Influenza viruses can cause damage to the body through direct invasion and secondary immune responses.Pneumonia and influenza-associated encephalopathy are the most common severe intrapulmonary and extrapulmonary complications of influenza.Identifying high-risk groups, early management of antiviral treatment, and timely treatment of intrapulmonary and extrapulmonary complications of influenza contribute to improve the prognosis.Influenza vaccines are the most effective way of protection.
