Objective:To evaluate the short-term efficacy of endoscopic-laparoscopic regional gastric resection combined with sentinel lymph node basin dissection in patients with early-stage gastric cancer.Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. Data of 17 consecutive early gastric cancer patients from a prospective cohort at Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University were analyzed between August 2023 and August 2024. Sixteen cases were from the department of general surgery and 1 from the department of gastroenterology. The cohort included 9 males and 8 females,with a mean age of 61.4 years (range: 46 to 79 years). Clinical data,including demographics,pathological features,surgical procedures,and follow-up outcomes,were collected through medical records and databases. All patients were followed for over 3 months,with follow-up ending on December 5,2024.Results:A total of 17 patients were involved. Among them, 5 patients underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) combined with laparoscopic sentinel lymph node dissection (LSBD),and another 3 patients who underwent complete ESD resection received LSBD due to pathological stage meeting the expanded indications. 6 patients who underwent non-curative ESD resection received laparoscopic gastric regional resection (LRG) combined with LSBD,and another 3 patients directly received LRG combined with LSBD. The average number of sentinel lymph nodes dissected before surgery ( M(IQR)) was 8.9 (4.5) (range: 4 to 21),and the detection rate and accuracy rate were both 100%. Postoperative pathology confirmed that there was no metastasis in the sentinel lymph nodes of 5 patients who underwent ESD combined with LSBD and 3 patients who underwent LSBD after complete ESD resection. The vertical and horizontal margins of ESD were all negative. One patient was an absolute indication for ESD. For the 6 patients who underwent non-curative ESD resection combined with LRG and LSBD,the horizontal margins were all negative. Two patients showed 1 metastasis in each of the 21 and 9 sentinel lymph nodes during the operation,and additional distal gastrectomy was performed during the operation. Postoperatively,73 and 39 lymph nodes were retrieved respectively. The former had 1 additional metastasis,while the latter had no metastasis. Among the 3 patients who underwent direct LRG combined with LSBD,the horizontal margins were negative. One patient was confirmed as an absolute indication for ESD by postoperative pathology,and one patient had 1 metastasis in 8 sentinel lymph nodes during the operation,and additional distal gastrectomy was performed. Postoperatively,there was no metastasis in 54 lymph nodes. All patients had no complications such as infection,bleeding,perforation,or death after surgery. Among the 14 patients who did not receive additional radical surgery,they were able to pass gas and defecate within 3 days after surgery,with an average hospital stay of 6 days. The nutritional indicators and gastric radionuclide emptying imaging half-emptying time were similar to those before surgery at 3 months after surgery. Conclusions:Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative regional gastrectomy with sentinel lymph node basin dissection has the advantages of minimal invasiveness,preservation of gastric function,and precise treatment. It maybe suitable for patients with early-stage gastric cancer at high risk of lymph node metastasis and has good short-term efficacy.

Objective:To explore the psychological acceptance mechanism of appropriate Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) techniques among patients with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) .Methods:Using purposive sampling, AUB patients experiencing menstruation but not yet menopausal were recruited from Zhumadian City, Henan Province, and Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, between November 2022 and January 2023. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the collected data were analyzed using content analysis.Results:A total of four main themes were identified: individualized disease perception and treatment experience; awareness and treatment experience of appropriate TCM techniques; cultural identity and influence of traditional beliefs; and the need for science communication and safety regarding TCM techniques.Conclusions:While AUB patients show a generally high level of acceptance toward appropriate TCM techniques, their understanding of both AUB and the relevant TCM therapies remains limited. Multiple factors influence patients' choices, and some concerns and doubts still persist during the decision-making process.

Objective:To investigate the anatomical variation of the T3 sympathetic ganglia and its relationship with surgical outcomes in primary palmar hyperhidrosis.Methods:A total of 86 patients with primary palmar hyperhidrosiswho underwent R4 sympathicotomy from November 2017 to September 2018 were prospectively enrolled. The anatomical variation of T3 sympathetic ganglia was observed by fluorescence thoracoscopy. The therapeutic effect and side effect were followed up after operation.The relationship between T3 anatomical variation and postoperative effect was analyzed.Results:82.6% of T3 ganglion had no anatomic variation, 17.4% of T3 ganglion shifted down to the surface of the fourth rib or intercostal space. After 1 month of follow-up, the therapeutic effect was: overly dry 2.1%, dry 39.4%, mild moist 57.0%, moist 1.4% innormalside, and 13.3%, 53.3%, 33.3%, 0 in the variation side respectively. Mann- Whitney U test showed statistically significant difference between the two groups( P=0.004). After 1 year of follow-up, the effect was 0, 36.5%, 56.9%, 6.6% in normal side, and 0, 33.3%, 63.0%, 3.7% in the variation side respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups by Mann- Whitney U test( P=0.869). Conclusion:Fluorescence thoracoscopy showed that the variation rate of the position of T3 sympathetic ganglion was 17.4%. Postoperatively, patients with the downshift variation of T3 sympathetic ganglion have drier hands in short-term follow-up.

Objective To explore the risk factors for patients with massive hemoptysis in tuberculosis and to provide a strategy for clinical treatment for tuberculosis massive hemoptysis (TMH). Methods Chi-square test and multivariate logistics analysis were applied to analyze the medical data of 241 cases of TMH. Results Chi-squared test showed that eleven factors were found to be significantly correlated with TMH. Longer disease course (≥3 months), lung lesions range ≥ 3 lung fields, pulmonary tuberculosis cavity, a higher smoking index (≥400 cigarettes per year) and clinical treatment were risk factors for TMH. Patients aged 45 years or older accompanied with bronchiectasia, pulmonary fungal infection, diabetes or hepatopathy had higher probabilities of developing massive hemoptysis. Multivariate analysis showed lung lesions range over 3 lung fields (OR = 2.447,P = 0.015), pulmonary tuberculosis cavity (OR = 2.486, P = 0.004), bronchial asthma (OR =3.192,P = 0.002), pulmonary fungal infection (OR = 3.896, P = 0.005) and hepatopathy (OR = 3.101, P =0.006) were final risk factors for TMH. Conclusion Multiple factors contributed to patients with massive hemoptysis in tuberculosis. Lung lesions range over 3 lung fields, pulmonary tuberculous cavities, bronchial asthma, lung fungal infection and hepatopathy might be the independent risk factors for TMH.

BACKGROUND:The effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on osteoclast-induced bone resorption is controversial and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Most of the studies indicate that AGEs can enhance bone resorption, while some othersshowthe opposite effects.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of AGEs on osteoclast-induced inorganicmatrixdissolution and organic componentdegradation and the underlying mechanisms.
METHODS:RAW 264.7 cels were induced to generate osteoclasts,and AGEs (50-400 μg/mL) or control-bovine serum albumin (100 μg/mL) was added since the beginning of the induction. The effect of AGEs on bone resorption was evaluated by analyzing the area of resorption pits on the Osteo Assay Surface plates and the expression of cathepsin K. Furthermore, the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cels, nuclei per osteoclasts and the expression of integrinανβ3were detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The area of resorption pits and expression of cathepsin K in AGEs groups were significantly decreased compared withthecontrol group, and this inhibiting effect became more obvious with the increase of AGEs concentration. TRAP staining also showed that number of TRAP-positivemultinucleated celsand nuclei per osteoclast were significantly reduced in an AGE dose-dependent manner. Quantitative PCR revealed that the expression of integrin ανβ3decreased significantly with the extension of AGEs incubation time. These data indicate that AGEs can exert inhibitory effects on organic and inorganicmatrixdegradation induced by osteoclasts. The underlying mechanism may be involved in the inhibitory effects of AGEs on directed differentiation and cel fusion of osteoclast precursor cels, and migration and adhension of osteoclasts.

Objective:To study the value of three surgical methods in the treatment of dislocation of shoulder joint combined with fracture of greater tuberosity of humerus. Methods: A total of 75 cases of shoulder joint combined with fracture of greater tuberosity of humerus in our hospital from Jul 2012 to Mar 2014 were randomly divided into 3 groups,each with 25 cases. Patients in group A received antero-lateral approach with absorption nail treatment, group B with antero-lateral approach with mini-plate treatment, and group C with anteriomedialis of shoulder approach with anatomy plate treatment. Clinical data in 3 groups were analyzed. Results: Incision length , operation time and intraoperative hemorrhage in group A and group B were not statistically significant (P>0.05), and compared with group C, incision length was smaller, operation time was shorter, intraoperative hemorrhage was less (P<0.05) .At 24 months after surgery, the incidence rate of subacromial impingement in group A and B was lower than that in group C (P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in fracture healing time between the three groups (P>0.05) .Conclusions:Antero-lateral approach is a simple method with less trauma. Absorbable screws and mini-plate can effectively fix fracture of greater tuberosity of humerus. The suitable surgical approach and internal-fixation should be selected according to fracture morphous.

OBJECTIVEThis preliminary study aims to investigate the effects of titanium and titanium alloy micro-nano-dimensional topography on the biological behavior of osteoblasts in vitro.

METHODSElectrolytic etching (EE) method was used to produce micro-nano dimensional titanium surfaces. The surfaces were observed to determine their effects on the adhesion, proliferation, cell morphology, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of osteoblasts.

RESULTSThe surfaces of the titanium and titanium alloy groups exhibited higher adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts than those of the mechanical group. The titanium surface was covered with a group of cells, a large number of filopodia, and functional particles. The ALP activity of the titanium group was significantly higher than that of the titanium alloy and mechanical groups.

CONCLUSIONEE method in pure titanium and titanium alloy surfaces result in bowl-like nests and nanostructures of different diameters and depths. The diameters of the pure titanium and titanium alloy surfaces range from 30 to 50 μm and 5 to 8 μm, respectively. The former is more conducive to promote the proliferation and differentiation of cells.
