Objective:To retrospectively evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of total 3D laparo-scopic ileal ureters replacement for bilateral ureters combined with bladder augmentation in patients with post-radiotherapy long-segment bilateral ureteral strictures and contracted bladder.Methods:Clinical data of two patients(aged 72 and 54 years)with radiation-induced long-segment bilateral ureteral stric-tures and reduced bladder capacity,treated at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University from Octo-ber 2023 to June 2024,were analyzed.Both presented with bilateral flank pain,recurrent chills/fever,urinary frequency,and urgency.Preoperative ureteral stricture lengths were measured as follows:left 10.4 cm and right 8.7 cm in the first case;left 10.6 cm and right 11.7 cm in the second case.Bladder capacity assessed by nephrostomy-assisted antegrade urography was 90 mL and 130 mL respectively.Both underwent single-position,one-stage totally 3D laparoscopic bilateral ileal ureteral replacement and blad-der augmentation based on membrane anatomy principles,with regular postoperative follow-up.Results:Procedures were completed by the same experienced urologist.Operative times were 420 min and 355 min,with intraoperative blood loss of 50 mL(no transfusion required).Postoperative bowel function re-sumed at the end of 4.5 and 3 days.No major perioperative complications occurred.Ureteral stents were removed at 2 months postoperatively,with imaging showing improved hydronephrosis,unobstructed ure-teral drainage,symmetrical bladder morphology,and smooth walls.Postoperative bladder capacities were 230 mL and 250 mL.Follow-up durations were 10 and 8 months.Both patients experienced significant relief of flank pain and lower urinary tract symptoms.No complications(enteric fistula,urinary fistula,or metabolic acidosis)were observed.At the final follow-up,one patient had mildly elevated serum cre-atinine,while the other showed reduced levels compared with preoperative values;both remained stable.Conclusion:Membrane anatomy-based dissection facilitates safe mobilization of fibrotic ureters with mini-mal bleeding and collateral damage.Total intracorporeal 3D laparoscopic ileal ureters replacement for bi-lateral ureters combined with bladder augmentation effectively addresses long-segment ureteral obstruction and improves bladder capacity.This approach is technically safe and feasible,though further validation with larger clinical cohorts is warranted.

Background and purpose:Malnutrition and deterioration of nutritional status are common in patients after surgery for gastric cancer,especially in the elderly,and severely affect patient prognosis.Studies have shown that oral nutritional supplements(ONS)can improve the nutritional status and clinical outcomes of patients after surgery for gastric cancer with nutritional risk.This study analyzed elderly patients who underwent radical surgery for gastric cancer in a previous randomized controlled trial to explore the impact of ONS on elderly patients after surgery for gastric cancer with nutritional risk.Methods:Patients discharged after gastric cancer radical surgery with nutritional risk who received treatment at Zhongshan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University from January 2017 to December 2018 were selected.The control group received dietary advice three months after discharge,while the ONS group received dietary advice combined with ONS three months after discharge.The weight,body mass index(BMI),hemoglobin,plasma albumin,and chemotherapy tolerance of the two groups were compared three months after discharge.The data for this study was based on a previous randomized controlled trial(ChiCTR2000029708)which had received ethical approval.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University(B2019-257R2).Results:A total of 125 patients who met the inclusion criteria were finally selected,including 69 in the ONS group and 56 in the control group.After 3 months of intervention,there were no significant differences in weight,BMI,hemoglobin,and plasma albumin levels between the two groups.However,the ONS group showed a significantly smaller decrease in weight change during the intervention period compared to the control group[(2.50±1.60)kg vs(4.24±1.80)kg,P＜0.05].The chemotherapy tolerance of the ONS group was significantly improved compared to the control group,with a decrease in the overall chemotherapy change rate(15.9%vs 41.1%,P=0.002),and fewer patients in the ONS group experienced chemotherapy delays,reduced drug dosages,and discontinuation of chemotherapy than those in the control group.Multivariate analysis showed that body weight,plasma albumin,hemoglobin,NRS2002,and BMI had no significant effect on the normal course of chemotherapy(P＞0.05);only ONS was a significant protective factor,significantly reducing the risk of chemotherapy modification(OR=0.227,P=0.001).Conclusion:ONS helps improve the chemotherapy tolerance of elderly postoperative gastric cancer patients and to some extent enhances their nutritional outcomes.For elderly postoperative gastric cancer patients with nutritional risk,nutritional intervention after discharge has a positive impact on improving clinical outcomes.

Objective To explore the clinical value of laparoscopic radical cystectomy based on fascia anatomy for bladder cancer treatment.Methods The clinical data of 51 patients with bladder cancer who underwent 3D laparoscopic radical cystectomy during Jan.2015 and Jun.2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The surgery was performed based on membrane anatomy technology along four longitudinal and two transverse planes to complete the radical cystectomy.The pelvic plexus was preserved for patients with normal preoperative sexual function.Results All surgeries were completed without conversion to open operation.The mean operation time was(502.52±108.99)min,mean intraoperative blood loss was(275.96±155.18)mL,mean postoperative drainage time was(4.14±2.41)d,and the mean postoperative hospital stay was(16.37±4.85)d.The mean number of lymph nodes removed was(17.98±11.48).The mean postoperative follow-up was(30.27±19.39)months.At the last follow-up,no Clavien ≥grade 3 complications were observed.The estimated overall survival(OS),tumor-specific survival(TSS),and recurrence-free survival(RFS)were 82.4％,92.2％,and 88.2％,respectively.The lymph node positive patients had shorter OS and RFS(60.0％,60.0％)than the lymph node negative patients(84.8％,91.3％).Among the 19 male patients who underwent radical cystectomy with pre-exposure and preservation of pelvic plexus,daytime and nocturnal continence rate were 83.3％and 72.2％,respectively,and 17 patients recovered potency within 6 months postoperatively.Conclusion Laparoscopic radical cystectomy based on fascia anatomy is safe and effective in laparoscopic radical cystectomy,with standardized surgical procedure,satisfactory oncological outcomes,little hemorrhage,few complications and fast recovery.

Trace elements and vitamins are essential micronutrients for metabolism.Micronutrients deficiency results in adverse effects on human body,and brings huge challenge to clinical nutrition therapy.To normalize micronutrients application in clinical practice,European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism(ESPEN)published ESPENpractical short micronutrient guideline on January 2024.Based on previous version published in 2022,current guideline shortens the interpretation of biochemical and physical mechanisms,focuses on micronutrients deficiency and inflammation,recommends the methods of micronutrients assessment and supplementation in different statuses during clinical practices.This paper summarizes specific recommendations and comments for domestic peers to communicate,and provides reference for the management of micronutrient therapy in China.

The incidence of malnutrition in surgical patients is high and affects the clinical outcome of patients. Through the extraction and analysis of image data, radiomics can assess changes in the composition of the body, such as skeletal muscle and fat, and it demonstrates tremendous potential in nutritional screening, assessment, diagnosis, and evaluation of treatment effects, emerging as a crucial evaluation tool in nutritional therapy for surgical patients. Furthermore, radiomics can predict patients' clinical outcomes, providing more precise treatment plans. Therefore, the application of radiomics should be fully emphasized in nutritional therapy for surgical patients to promote their enhanced recovery. With the continuous development and improvement of radiomics technology in the future, its application in nutritional therapy for surgical patients is expected to become more extensive and profound, bringing better treatment outcomes and quality of life to patients.

Objective To investigate the mechanism mediating the regulatory effect of lncRNA MAGI2-AS3 on cisplatin(DDP)resistance in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods MAGI2-AS3 and miR-1269a expression levels were detected by qRT-PCR in DDP-sensitive lung cancer cell lines(A549 and H1299)and their resistant counterparts(A549/DDP and H1299/DDP).In A549 and H1299 cells with MAGI2-AS3 silencing and A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells overexpressing MAGI2-AS3,the effects of 20 μmol/L DDP on cell viability and apoptosis were examined with CCK-8 assay,colony formation assay,flow cytometry and Western blotting,and the changes in epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)were assessed with wound healing and Transwell assays.The interaction between MAGI2-AS3,miR-1269a and PTEN was predicted using GEPIA,StarBase and miRDB and verified with luciferase reporter gene assay and radioimmunoprecipitation(RIP)assay.A miR-1269a mimic and pcDNA3.1-PTEN plasmid were used to perform the rescue assay.Results MAGI2-AS3 expression was significantly downregulated in lung cancer tissues(P<0.05)in association with a poor prognosis(P<0.05).In the two DDP-resistant lung cancer cell lines,MAGI2-AS3 expression was significantly lowered as compared with the sensitive cells.Silencing MAGI2-AS3 significantly enhanced cell viability and promoted EMT of A549 and H1299 cells irrespective of DDP treatment,and also decreased DDP-induced apoptosis of the cells.In A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells,MAGI2-AS3 overexpression strongly repressed cell viability and EMT irrespective of DDP treatment and promoted DDP-induced cell apoptosis.Luciferase reporter gene and RIP assays confirmed the binding of MAGI2-AS3 with miR-1269a and the binding of miR-1269a with 3'-UTR domain of PTEN.The rescue assay demonstrated that MAGI2-AS3 acted as a sponge for miR-1269a to promote PTEN expression and downregulate AKT phosphorylation,thus inhibiting EMT and promoting DDP-induced apoptosis of A549/DDP cells.Conclusion MAGI2-AS3 enhances DDP sensitivity of NSCLC by targeted regulation of the miR-1269a/PTEN/AKT signaling axis.

The advancement of comprehensive treatment has allowed an increasing number of patients with gastrointestinal tumor to achieve long-term survival. In current clinical practice, there is a growing population of patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumor. Due to various factors, such as tumor burden, treatments including chemotherapy and radiation therapy, as well as underlying diseases, patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumor often experience malnutrition, which negatively impacts their clinical outcomes. The mechanism of malnutrition in patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumor is complex, and conventional nutritional support therapy has shown limited effectiveness. With the continuous progress in the concept and technique of nutritional support therapy, the diversification of treatment strategies, and the strengthening of multidisciplinary collaboration, the nutritional management for patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumor tends to be standardized and rational, leading to effective improvement in patients' nutritional status and clinical outcomes. Based on the latest evidence-based medicine, combined with the author's practical experience and insights, this article aims to explore nutritional support therapy for patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumor.
