Objective:This study aimed to explore the utility of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) combined with skin sympathetic response (SSR) in assessing the effectiveness of perigastric autonomic nerve preservation during radical gastrectomy.Methods:A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted involving 221 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy at the Department of Gastric Surgery, Taizhou People's Hospital, affiliated with Nanjing Medical University, between June 2022 and September 2024. The cohort comprised 109 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy without autonomic nerve preservation (total gastrectomy without nerve preservation group). Additionally, 112 patients underwent laparoscopic radical distal gastrectomy, including 34 patients who received autonomic nerve preservation (nerve preservation group) and 78 patients who did not (without nerve preservation group). TEAS was administered at the Zusanli and Tianshu acupoints one day before and one day after surgery, during which SSR latency and voltage amplitudes in the upper and lower extremities were recorded and compared across groups. Differences in SSR latency and voltage amplitude between the nerve preservation and non-nerve preservation groups of the distal gastrectomy cohort were also analyzed. Further, TEAS was applied at the same acupoints for 15 minutes on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd postoperative days, and changes in intestinal sounds and intestinal functional recovery time were monitored. Surgical parameters, including operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, and harvested lymph node, were documented. Postoperative inflammatory indicators, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and the incidence of anastomotic leakage, were evaluated. At three months postoperatively, gastroscopy was performed to assess residual gastric food and bile reflux. Additionally, the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) was evaluated across all patient groups.Results:Following total gastrectomy, TEAS of Zusanli combined with arms' SSR revealed a latency of (23 59.71±410.55) ms and a voltage amplitude of (0.43±1.67) mV; for the legs, latency was (2 596.88±369.01) ms and voltage amplitude was (0.25±0.08) mV. TEAS of Tianshu combined with arms' SSR demonstrated a latency of (2 746.47±224.37) ms and a voltage amplitude of (0.31±0.14) mV; for the legs, latency was (2 891.90±193.61) ms and voltage amplitude was (0.19±0.72) mV. Postoperative latency was significantly prolonged, and voltage amplitude was markedly reduced (all P < 0.01). In the distal gastrectomy with nerve preservation group, TEAS of Zusanli combined with arms' SSR showed a latency of (1 668.04±261.91) ms and a voltage amplitude of (0.78±0.26) mV; for the legs, latency was (1 568.86±220.09) ms and voltage amplitude was (0.61±0.24) mV. TEAS of Tianshu combined with arms' SSR demonstrated a latency of (1 519.36±206.99) ms and a voltage amplitude of (0.66±0.34) mV; for the legs, latency was (2 004.80±508.53) ms and voltage amplitude was (0.55±0.28) mV. In the distal gastrectomy without nerve preservation group, TEAS of Zusanli combined with arms' SSR revealed a latency of (2 385.95±710.27) ms and a voltage amplitude of (0.23±0.11) mV; for the legs, latency was (2 506.81±779.37) ms and voltage amplitude was (0.26±1.29) mV. TEAS of Tianshu combined with arms' SSR indicated a latency of (2 697.78±385.55) ms and a voltage amplitude of (0.21±0.14) mV; for the legs, latency was (2 949.14±506.61) ms and voltage amplitude was (0.17±0.11) mV. The group without nerve preservation exhibited significantly prolonged latencies and reduced voltage amplitudes (all P<0.01). No statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in operative time, intraoperative bleeding, the number of dissected lymph nodes, inflammatory indicators (IL-6, CRP, PCT) at 3 days postoperatively, or anastomotic leakage rates (all P>0.05). In the group without nerve preservation, bowel sounds on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3 were (0.36±0.58), (1.04±0.97), and (1.74±1.10) times/min, respectively, with bowel function recovery time of (62.24±9.91) hours. The PNI at 3 months postoperatively was (37.42±3.01). Incidences of food residue in the residual stomach and bile reflux were 21.79% (17/78) and 29.49% (23/78), respectively. In the group with nerve preservation, bowel sounds on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3 were (0.76±0.82), (2.03±1.34), and (3.71±1.27) times/min, respectively, with bowel function recovery time of (44.94±8.05) hours. The PNI at 3 months postoperatively was (41.34±3.40). Incidences of food residue and bile reflux were 5.88% (2/34) and 11.76% (4/34), respectively. Statistically significant differences were observed between the groups (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:TEAS of Zusanli and Tianshu combined with SSR provides an objective measure for assessing the preservation of perigastric autonomic nerves during radical gastrectomy.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of double tract reconstruction and single flap valvuloplasty technique in laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was adopted to analyze the clinical data of 65 patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical proximal gastrectomy at Taizhou People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from July 2019 to April 2024. According to the different reconstruction methods, the patients were divided into the double tract reconstruction group (double tract; n=43) and oblique anastomosis of esophageal-gastric mucosal window with single flap valvuloplasty technique group (single flap n=22). The baseline data, surgical and postoperative recovery indicators, postoperative pathological results, gastroesophageal reflux at postoperative 6 months, and nutritional status at postoperative 1 year were compared between the two groups. Results:Comparisons of operative time, gastrointestinal reconstruction time, number of lymph nodes dissected, postoperative intestinal function recovery time, total protein, plasma albumin, hemoglobin, and lymphocyte count at 1 week postoperatively, prognostic nutritional index (PNI), time to normalization of postoperative white blood cell count and C-reactive protein, length of hospital stay, hospital costs, and incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection or anastomotic leakage between the two groups showed no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). However, compared with the double tract group, the single muscle flap group had significantly higher intraoperative blood loss ( P<0.001), higher maximum postoperative body temperature ( P=0.004), and a significantly higher proportion of patients with pleural effusion ≥2 cm ( P=0.029).No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of tumor length, length of esophageal involvement, Siewert classification, tumor differentiation degree, neural invasion, lymphovascular invasion, number of metastatic lymph nodes, tumor T stage and N stage, or UICC TNM staging for gastric cancer (all P>0.05). Nevertheless, the minimum distance of the lower resection margin in the double tract group was significantly longer than that in the single muscle flap group, with a statistically significant difference between the groups ( P<0.001). At 6 months postoperatively, results from the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30), Quality of Life Questionnaire-Stomach 22 (QLQ-ST022), Reflux Symptom Index scores, Visick grading, and gastroscopy (Los Angeles classification) all indicated that the incidence of reflux esophagitis in the double tract group was significantly lower than that in the single muscle flap group (all P<0.001). Gastrointestinal contrast examination showed no anastomotic stenosis in either group; gastroesophageal reflux occurred in 5 cases (11.6%) in the double tract group and 4 cases (18.2%) in the single muscle flap group, with no statistically significant difference (χ2=0.524, P=0.469). Gastroscopy results revealed that the incidence of reflux esophagitis at 6 months postoperatively was 9.3% (4/43) in the double tract group and 59.1% (13/22) in the single muscle flap group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (χ2=18.680, P<0.001).At 1 year postoperatively, the dual-chamber group showed better performance in body mass index(BMI), proportion of a decrease in BMI, plasma albumin, and PNI compared with the single muscle flap group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in hemoglobin or lymphocyte count between the two groups (all P>0.05). During 1 year of follow-up, one case of anastomotic recurrence occurred in each group, with no statistically significant difference between the groups ( P=0.624). Conclusions:Both proximal gastrectomy with double-tract anastomosis and esophagogastric mucosal window oblique anastomosis combined with single muscular flap valvuloplasty for digestive tract reconstruction are safe and feasible. However, double-tract anastomosis can better prevent the occurrence of postoperative reflux esophagitis, improve the patient's postoperative nutritional status, and enhance the patient's quality of life.

OBJECTIVE To prepare spider fibroin membrane loaded with Periplaneta americana extract, and investigate its characterization, in vitro drug release property and cytotoxicity. METHODS Using natural spider silk collected from Chilobrachys guangxiensis as raw material, P. americana extract as model drug, the drug-loaded spider fibroin membrane (hereinafter referred to as drug-loaded membrane) was prepared by solvent casting method. The material matrix spider fibroin membrane without P. americana extract (hereinafter referred to as blank membrane) was prepared with same method. The membrane structure was characterized by static water contact angle, Fourier infrared chromatography, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy from different angles; drug release characteristics in artificial saliva were simulated in vitro to evaluate the drug sustained-release performance. MTT assay was adopted to validate the cytotoxicity of drug-loaded membrane. RESULTS The drug-loaded membrane was prepared, and the static water contact angle was less than 90°, which was less than that of blank membrane. The drug-loaded membrane showed the characteristic absorption peak to polypeptide of P. americana extract at 1 500-1 700 cm-1. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy also proved that the drug was successfully loaded into the pellicle. The release time of the pellicle in artificial saliva was more than 200 min. The MTT test results showed that the cell proliferation rates of blank membrane and drug-loaded membrane were 84.6% and 79.4% (both greater than 70%), respectively, without significant potential cytotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS Drug-loaded membrane prepared with natural spider silk has a certain sustained-release effect in artificial saliva, which can be further developed as a drug sustained-release carrier with excellent biological characteristics and biocompatibility.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of prophylactic irradiation of internal mammary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer in this Meta-analysis.Methods:CNKI, Wanfang Medical network, CBM, PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science were searched by computer. The controlled clinical studies comparing whether or not internal mammary lymph node irradiation as an intervention were included and the quality of the included literature was evaluated according to Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 14 software were used for Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 11 original articles were included, and 13 181 patients were included for Meta-analysis. There was no statistically significant difference in the overall survival (OS) between patients with and without internal mammary lymph node irradiation ( P=0.490). The subgroup analysis using the date of treatment and the degree of risk in the enrolled population as criteria showed that 5-year OS was significantly increased after internal mammary area irradiation in high-risk stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ patients (N+ , T 3-T 4 stage) with the date of treatment of after 2000( P=0.003, 0.006). Compared with patients without internal mammary area irradiation, internal mammary irradiation significantly increased the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS)( P<0.001). Conclusion:Under the modern radiotherapy technology, internal mammary lymph node irradiation improves the DFS of patients, and may bring OS benefits to high-risk stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ breast cancer patients (N+ , T 3-T 4 stage).
