Objective To compare the efficacy of completely thoracoscopic lobectomy and small-incision thoracotomy for pulmonary lobectomy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and the influence on serum carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),thymidine kinase 1(TK1)and blood gas indexes.Methods From April 2017 to March 2019,96 patients with non-small cell lung cancer diagnosed by pathological examination in Hunan University of Medicine General Hospital were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 48 cases in each group.Completely thoracoscopic lobectomy was performed in the observation group,and thoracotomy for pulmonary lobectomy was performed in the control group.Mediastinal lymphadenectomy was given in both groups.The perioperative indexes and the incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the 2 groups.Venous blood was collected before and after the operation.The serum was collected to determine tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),procalcitonin(PCT),hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),CEA,and TK1.The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores and radial artery blood gas indexes were compared between the 2 groups before and after surgery.The survival of the 2 groups was recorded during 2-year follow-up.Results The operative time,intraoperative blood loss,activity time out of bed and hospitalization time in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05).No significant difference was found in the number of dissected lymph nodes between the 2 groups(P>0.05).Serum PCT,hs-CRP and TNF-α levels were increased after surgery in both groups,and these indexes in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05).Partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2)and base excess(BE)levels were decreased after surgery in both groups.Postoperative PaO2 in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Serum CEA and TK1 levels in 2 groups after operation were significantly lower than those before operation(both P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in the CEA or TK1 between the groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the preoperative VAS scores between the groups.The VAS scores on the 1st,3rd,and 7th day after operation in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(6.25% vs.22.92% ,P<0.05).After 24 months of follow-up,there was no significant difference in survival rate between the 2 groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Completely thoracoscopic lobectomy can effectively reduce postoperative pain,improve lung function,shorten hospitalization time,and has fewer complications.Its therapeutic effect is equivalent to small-incision thoracotomy.It is worthy of clinical promotion with both high efficiency and safety.

Objective:To observe the effect of escitalopram combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on efficacy and attention function in patients with first-episode unipolar depression.Methods:Fifty-two first-episode initial-naive unipolar depression patients were enrolled in Department of Neurology of Guangzhou First People's Hospital from March 2022 to April 2023 were chosen. They were randomly allocated to active stimulation group ( n=27) and sham stimulation group ( n=25); both were treated with escitalopram, and active treatment or sham treatment in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) were given for 4 weeks (5 d per week, 20 d totally). Before treatment and 2 and 4 weeks after treatment, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD)-24 was used to evaluate depressive symptoms, and Birmingham Cognitive Screening Scale-Chinese (BCoS-C) was used to evaluate the attention function. Results:(1) In terms of depressive symptoms: HAMD-24 scores of the active stimulation group 2 and 4 weeks after treatment (20.63±2.73, 15.85±2.43) were significantly lower than those before treatment (25.74±2.68, P<0.05); HAMD-24 scores of sham stimulation group 4 weeks after treatment were also significantly lower than those before treatment ([20.48±2.33] vs. [25.80±2.57], P<0.05); HAMD-24 scores of the active stimulation group 2 and 4 weeks after treatment were significantly lower than those of sham stimulation group ( P<0.05). (2) In terms of auditory attention indicators: total correct number (selective attention) in active stimulation group 4 weeks after treatment was significantly larger than that before treatment (51.74±1.38 vs. 47.48±1.60), and the sustained index (sustained attention) was significantly lower than that before treatment (0.74±0.71 vs. 4.37±1.15, P<0.05); total correct number in active stimulation group 4 weeks after treatment was significantly larger than that in sham stimulation group (48.00±1.66), and the sustained index was significantly lower than that in sham stimulation group (3.72±1.28, P<0.05). Conclusion:Combined with escitalopram, rTMS can more effectively mitigate the depressive symptoms in first-episode unipolar depression patients, and depressive symptoms improve more quickly than attentional function.

Objective To investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of crayfish associated rhabdomyolysis syndrome in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, and explore the related factors, and to provide evidence for the prevention of crayfish rhabdomyolysis syndrome. Methods The cases of crawfish associated rhabdomyolysis syndrome were found through the foodborne disease surveillance and reporting system, and a field epidemiological investigation was carried out to analyze the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the cases. Results A total of 25 cases of crayfish associated rhabdomyolysis syndrome occurred in 2020. The intake of crayfish of the cases ranged from 5 to 25, the incubation period was 1 to 9.5h, and the interval from onset to medical treatment was 0.17 to 9h. All the cases had muscle pain, and the content of creatine kinase (CK) in the cases increased to varying degrees (128-17851 U/L). Retrospective cohort analysis of 10 crayfish events found no correlation between the consumption of different parts of crayfish and the incidence of crayfish-related rhabdomyolysis syndrome. Conclusion The incidence of rhabdomyolysis syndrome reported in Baiyun District of Guangzhou is related to the consumption of crayfish, but the pathogenic factors need to be further studied. It is suggested to strengthen the supervision of crayfish breeding, transportation, sales, and processing to ensure the health of consumers.

Objective To observe the functional connectivity of attentional network in first-episode treatment-naive depressed patients with resting-state functional MR imaging (rfMRI),and to investigate the neuropathologic mechanism of attention dysfunction.Methods Eighteen first-episode treatment-naive depressed patients were collected in our hospital from August 2015 to March 2017,and 16 healthy controls matched with age,gender and education were chosen at the same time period.All subjects accepted rfMRI.Pearson correlation analysis was performed on all the time series values of the two regions of interest (ROIs),and their correlation coefficient was obtained.Fisher z transformation was performed to reflect the functional connection strength of the two ROIs through z scores.Results As compared with healthy controls,depressed patients showed abnormal enhancement on functional connectivity of the attentional network in the left anterior cingulate and supplementary motor area (z scores:0.21 ±0.10 vs.0.13±0.09,P=0.029),right basal ganglia region and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (z scores:0.18±0.12 vs.0.10±0.08,P=0.048),right frontal eye field and intraparietal suleus (z scores:0.19± 0.12 vs.0.10±0.05,P=0.006),right frontal eye field and nucleus ceruleus (z scores:0.18±0.13 vs.0.09± 0.07,P=0.018).Conclusion Abnormal functional connectivity of attentional network exists extensively in first-episode treatment-naive depressed patients,which may be due to attention impairment in depressed patients.

Objective To evaluate laparoscopic π-shaped esophageal jejunostomy vs.laparoscopic assisted end-to-side esophageal jejunostomy in]D2 radical total gastrectomy for middle third gastric cancer.Methods From July 2015 to July 2017,154 patients undergoing laparoscopic D2 radical total gastrectomy were divided into group of laparoscopic assisted end-to-side esophageal jejunostomy (92 cases) and the group of totally laparoscopic π-shaped esophageal jejunostomy (62 cases).Results The group of totally laparoscopic π-shaped esophageal jejunostomy was not statistically different in tumor pathology and postoperative complications with laparoscopic assisted group,but was better than the later in anastomotic reconstruction surgery time (21 ± 3) min vs.(30 ± 3) min,t =17.56,P =0.000,incision length (6.7 ±1.1) cm vs.(10.5 ± 1.7) cm,t =15.72,P =0.000 and anastomotic complications (3％ vs.13％,x2 =4.320,P =0.038).Conclusions Totally laparoscopic π-shape esophageal jejunostomy is safe,feasible,better than hand assisted procedures.

Objective To find an ideal animal model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) through investigating the characteristics of three two-hit animal models of ARDS.Methods Forty-eight SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: Control group [2.5 mL/kg normal saline (NS) i.v.given at 0 min and 30 min];OA+OA group [0.5 mL/kg oleic acid (OA) i.v.given at 0 min and 30 min];LPS+LPS group [2.5 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) i.v.given at 0 min and 30 min];and OA+LPS group [0.5 mL/kg OA i.v.given at 0 min and 2.5 mg/kg LPS,i.v.given at 30 min].The samples were collected at 5 h after the second drug injection.White blood cells count (WBC),polymorphonuclear leukocyte ratio (PMN%),total protein concentration,tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF),arterial blood gas analysis and lung wet-dry weight ratio (W/D) were measured,respectively.Pathological changes in the lung tissues were observed and histological scores were evaluated.Results Compared with those in the control group,PaCO2,WBC,PMN%,total protein concentration and TNF-α levels in BALF were significantly increased,while PaO2 was dramatically decreased (P<0.01) in the OA+OA,LPS+LPS and OA+LPS groups.The levels of protein concentration in BALF and lung W/D ratio in the OA+LPS group were significantly higher than these in the LPS+LPS group (P<0.05 for all),but had no statistically significant difference compared with these in the OA+OA group.The levels of WBC,PMN% and TNF-α in BALF in the OA+LPS group were significantly higher than those in the OA+OA group (P<0.05),but not significantly different from those in the LPS+LPS group.The most typical pathological changes and the highest pathological scores were found in the OA+LPS group.Conclusions All the three different methods including OA+OA,LPS+LPS,and OA+LPS can be used to establish “two-hit” animal models of acute respiratory distress syndrome.The “two-hit” animal model of acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by OA+LPS is more closer to clinical ARDS and is useful for studies on the pathophysiology of ARDS,and is an ideal “two-hit” animal model of ARDS.
