Objective To explore the technical process and clinical application of laparoscopic combined upper midline incision minimally invasive liver transplantation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 30 cases of laparoscopic combined upper midline incision minimally invasive liver transplantation. The cases were divided into cirrhosis group (15 cases) and liver failure group (15 cases) based on the primary disease. The surgical and postoperative conditions of the two groups were compared. Results All patients successfully underwent laparoscopic "clockwise" liver resection, with no cases of passive conversion to open surgery or intolerance to pneumoperitoneum. In 6 cases, the right lobe was relatively large, and the right hepatic ligaments could not be completely mobilized. One case required an additional reverse "L" incision during open surgery. All patients successfully completed the liver transplantation, with no major intraoperative bleeding, cardiovascular events, or other occurrences in the 30 patients. The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score in the cirrhosis group was lower than that in the liver failure group (P<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, surgical time, blood loss, anhepatic phase, or cold ischemia time (all P>0.05). During the perioperative period, there was 1 case of hepatic artery embolism, 1 case of portal vein anastomotic stenosis, no complications of hepatic vein and inferior vena cava, and 3 cases of biliary anastomotic stenosis, all of which occurred in the liver failure group. Conclusions In strictly selected cases, the minimally invasive liver transplantation technique combining laparoscopic hepatectomy with upper midline incision for graft implantation has the advantages of smaller incisions, less bleeding, relatively easier operation, and faster postoperative recovery, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective:
To explore the active components, key targets, and mechanism of action of turnip in alleviating pulmonary fibrosis(PF) based on network pharmacology and animal experiments.
Methods:
The active components and targets of Brassica rapa L. were screened using the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform database, and PF-related targets were obtained from disease databases such as online mendelian inheritance of man(OMIM) and DrugBank. The intersection targets were used to construct a protein-protein interaction(PPI) network to identify core targets, followed by gene oncology(GO)/Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. In the animal experiments, a bleomycin-induced PF mouse model was established. Pathological changes in lung tissue were evaluated using HE and Masson staining. qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K), and akstrain transforming 1(AKT1), and immunofluorescence staining was used to measure the protein expression of TNF-α, PI3K, and AKT1.
Results:
The 68 active components identified in Brassica rapa L. may regulate PI3K-Akt signaling pathway by acting on 89 potential targets such as TNF-α and AKT1. The results of animal experiments showed that polysaccharide of Brassica rapa L.(BRPs) could significantly reduce the degree of bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice; HE and Masson staining of lung tissue showed that compared with the model group, the damage of alveolar structure, the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the deposition of collagen fibers in the BRPs treatment group were significantly reduced. Further mechanism studies showed that BRPs could significantly down-regulate the mRNA and protein expression levels of TNF-α, PI3K and AKT1 in lung tissue of pulmonary fibrosis mice.
Conclusion
Brassica rapa L. can synergistically alleviate pulmonary fibrosis through “multi-component, multi-target and multi-channel” approach; BRPs is one of the main active components, and plays an anti-fibrosis role by inhibiting TNF-α/PI3K Akt signaling pathway.

【Objective】 To investigate the factors influencing the length of hospital stays of the acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) patients, so as to establish the prediction model. 【Methods】 A total of 49 patients diagnosed as AFLP)in ShenZhen People’s Hospital between January 2008 and January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the median length of hospital stays, the patients were divided into two groups: Group A(n=21)and Group B(n=28). Preoperative general laboratory data, clinical features and postpartum adverse outcomes in both groups were analyzed. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent factors affecting the length of hospital stays for AFLP, and a prediction model for hospitalization time was established. 【Results】 Comparison between Group B and Group A were as follows: hospital stays(d)(15.5 vs 8), preoperative icterus(%)[16(57.1%)vs 3(14.3%)], thrombin time(TT)(s)(24.2 vs 21.3), prothrombin time(PT)(s)(16.8 vs 15.3), activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)(s)(52.3 vs 40.7), total bilirubin(TBIL)(μmol/L)(77.2 vs 45.2), indirect bilirubin(IBIL)(μmol/L)(21.2 vs 10), creatinine(Cre)(μmol/L)[(171.97±53.34) vs (131.81±45.06]), TT extension(%)[24(85.7%)vs 11(52.4%)], APTT extension(%)[27(96.4%)vs 7(33.3%)], IBIL elevation(%)[19(67.9%)vs 4(19%)], Cre concentration rise(%)[21(75%)vs 8(38%)], number of postpartum plasma exchange sessions(%)[23(82.1%)vs 5(23.8%)], postpregnancy co-infection phenomenon(%)[21(75%)vs 4(19%)], with Group B significantly higher than Group A. The preoperative platelet count(×109/L)(128 vs 221)and the concentration of fibrinogen(g/L)[0.9 vs 1.6] in Group B were significantly lower than those in Group A. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative icterus, postpregnancy co-infection phenomenon, number of postpartum plasma exchange sessions, preoperative TT extension, preoperative APTT extension, Cre concentration rise were influencing factors for the hospital stays of AFLP patients. According to the minimum result of Akaike information criterion, the multivariate binary logistic regression analysis (step-wise selection) showed that the number of postpartum plasma exchange sessions, icterus, preoperative APTT extension were the independent risk factor influencing the hospital stays of AFLP patients, and the logistic regression prediction model was established by incorporating the above three factors. Regularization techniques were further employed in linear regression to address and assess overfitting issues. Additionally, the confidence interval for the estimated effect sizes in each model have been acquired by bootstrapping techniques. 【Conclusion】 Preoperative icterus, preoperative APTT extension(APTT>43s)and the number of postpartum plasma exchange sessions were the independent risk factor influencing the hospital stays of AFLP patients and the logistic regression prediction model with high predictive effectiveness was established successfully.

Objective To investigate immunogenic and toxic effects of graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles in mouse skeletal muscles and in human blood in vitro. Methods GO nanoparticles prepared using a probe sonicator were supended in deionized H2O or PBS, and particle size and surface charge of the nanoparticles were measured with dynamic light scattering (DLS). Different concentrations (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/mL) of GO suspension or PBS were injected at multiple sites in the gastrocnemius muscle (GN) of C57BL/6 mice, and inflammatory response and immune cell infiltrations were detected with HE and immunofluorescence staining. We also examined the effects of GO nanoparticles on human red blood cell (RBC) morphology, hemolysis and blood coagulation using scanning electron microscope (SEM), spectrophotometry, and thromboelastography (TEG). Results GO nanoparticles suspended in PBS exhibited better colloidal dispersity, stability and surface charge effects than those in deionized H2O. In mouse GNs, injection of GO suspensions dose- and time-dependently resulted in sustained muscular inflammation and myofiber degeneration at the injection sites, which lasted till 8 weeks after the injection; immunofluorescence staining revealed obvious infiltration of monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and CD4+T cells around the injection sites in mouse GNs. In human RBCs, incubation with GO suspensions at 0.2, 2.0 and 20 mg/mL, but not at 0.002 or 0.02 mg/mL, caused significant alterations of cell morphology and hemolysis. TEG analysis showed significant abnormalities of blood coagulation parameters following treatment with high concentrations of GO. Conclusion GO nanoparticles can induce sustained inflammatory and immunological responses in mouse GNs and cause RBC hemolysis and blood coagulation impairment, suggesting its muscular toxicity and hematotoxicity at high concentrations.
