Objective:To summarize the single-center experience of serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) in children with intestinal failure.Methods:The clinical data of 13 children who underwent STEP surgery at our department from Jan 2016 to Dec 2022 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:Eight children were females ,5 were males. There were 10 premature infants and 3 full-term infants. The gestational age was 26 +3-39 +5 weeks, and the birth weight was 860 -3 700 g. The median age of surgery was 12 months, the median length of small intestine was 70 (50-130) cm, the diameter of preoperative intestinal dilation was about 4.5 to 7.5 cm, and the operation interval was 2.5 to 3.0 cm. Continuous transverse enteroenteroplasty resulted in an average increase of 75% (66% to 100%) in the length of the dilated intestinal segment. The total length of the small intestine increases by 16.0% (12.5%-30.0%). After the operation, 12 of the 13 children (92.3%) were removed from parenteral nutrition to achieve intestinal adaptation of the remaining bowel, and the mean time of withdrawal from parenteral nutrition was 138(20-1 011) days after the operation. Intestinal dilatation occurred in 2 patients, and gastrointestinal bleeding occurred in 4 patients, which healed after conservative treatment. Conclusions:STEP operation is suitable for children with short intestinal length and obvious expansion of intestinal tube. STEP can not only reduce the diameter of the enlarged intestine, but also extend the length of the intestine, increase the feeding tolerance, improve the clinical effect of enteral nutrition, and shorten the time for children to achieve intestinal adaptation.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of TiRobot combined with three-dimensional imaging in the minimally invasive surgery for pelvic fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 40 patients with pelvic fracture who had been treated by fixation with S1 and S2 sacroiliac screws at Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Yangjiang People's Hospital from January 2019 to May 2021. They were divided into 2 groups according to their treatment methods. In the TiRobot group of 20 cases subjected to percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation assisted by TiRobot combined with three-dimensional imaging, there were 13 males and 7 females with an age of (38.2 ± 8.8) years. In the manual group of 20 cases subjected to fixation with manual placement of sacroiliac screws under conventional C-arm fluoroscopy, there were 11 males and 9 females with an age of (37.3 ± 9.2) years. The 2 groups were compared in terms of fluoroscopy time for screw placement, guide needle adjustment, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, visual analogue scale (VAS) 72 hours after operation, postoperative hospital stay, time to ambulation, excellent to good rate of screw placement, complication rate, fracture union time, Majeed score at 6 months after operation, and excellent to good rate of functional evaluation.Results:There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in their preoperative general data, showing they were comparable ( P > 0.05). In the TiRobot group, fluoroscopy time for screw placement [(8.2 ± 2.9) s], guide needle adjustment [(0.4 ± 0.2) times], operation time [(67.4 ± 5.5) min], and intraoperative blood loss [(36.5 ± 8.0) mL] were significantly less than those in the manual group [(40.4 ± 4.5) s, (8.6 ± 0.7) times, (78.4 ± 7.2) min, and (41.6 ± 7.8) mL], postoperative VAS [3.0 (4.0, 5.0) points] was significantly lower than that in the manual group [4.0 (5.0, 6.0) points], the excellent to good rate of screw placement (100%, 40/40) was significantly higher than that in the manual group (85.0%, 34/40), and the complication rate (5.0%,1/20) was significantly lower than that in the manual group (35.0%, 7/20) (all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in postoperative hospital stay, time to ambulation, fracture union time, Majeed score, or excellent to good rate of functional evaluation ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:In the minimally invasive surgery for pelvic fractures, TiRobot combined with three-dimensional imaging leads to positive outcomes, because it can reduce operation time and radiation exposure, improve accuracy of screw placement, and increase safety.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) for obesity.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 10 patients with obesity who were admitted to the China-Japan Union Hospital Affiliated to Jilin University from September 2019 to January 2020 were collected.There were 7 male and 3 females, aged (32±9)years. Patients underwent laparoscopic BPD-DS. Observation indicators:(1) intraoperative and postoperative situations;(2) follow-up.Follow-up was performed by telephone interview and wechat up to July 2020, to detect complications, physical index, remission of preoperative comorbidity and blood biochemical index at 3 months and 6 months after operation. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Repeated data were analyzed using the repeated ANOVA and pariwise comparison was done using the LSD method. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were represented as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-suqare test. Results:(1) Intraoperative and postoperative situations:10 patients underwent successfully laparoscopic BPD-DS, including 1 patient undergoing concomitant cholecystectomy due to gallstone disease. There was no obvious hemorrhage, conversion to open surgery or perioperative death for the 10 patients. The operation time and duration of postoperative hospital stay were (256±28)minutes and 11 days(range, 4-38 days). Two patients had postoperative complications. (2) Follow-up: 10 patients were followed up for 6 months. During the follow-up, 3 patients had increased frequency of defecation, with 3-5 times per day, 7 patients had defecation frequency of 1-2 times per day. Of 10 patients, 4 cases had postoperative cholestasis, 2 cases development to gallstone, and the remaining 4 patients had no abnor-mality. The body weight, body mass index, waist circumference of 10 patients were (139±22)kg, (46±10)kg/m 2,(139±14)cm before operation, (107±19)kg, (35±8)kg/m 2, (118±17)cm at 3 months after operation, and (92±17)kg, (30±6)kg/m 2, (104±12)cm at 6 months after operation, showing significant differences ( F=170.01, 104.42, 120.25, P<0.05). The excess body mass reduc-tion rates at 3, 6 months after operation of 10 patients were 58%±36% and 81%±42%, showing a significant difference ( t=73.00, P<0.05). Of 10 patients, cases with type 2 diabetes, hypertriglyceri-demia, hypercholesteremia, elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterin level, hyperuricemia, hypertension were 5, 4, 6, 8, 9, 9 before operation, cases with complete remission were 4, 2, 5, 5, 1, 1 at 3 months after operation, and cases with complete remission were 5, 3, 4, 6, 7, 5 at 6 months after operation. Cases with partial remission of hypertension were 8 and 4 at 3, 6 months after operation. For 5 patients with type 2 diabetes, the fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin Alc were (11.4±3.1)mmol/L and 9.3%±1.6% before operation, (5.6±1.0)mmol/L and 5.5%±0.5% at 3 months after operation, (4.9±0.5)mmol/L and 4.8%±0.5% at 6 months after operation, showing significant differences ( F=14.55, 39.84, P<0.05). Of 10 patients, the retinal-binding protein, vitamins E, serum iron, serum zinc were normal before operation, cases with deficiency of above indicators were 5, 2, 1, 1 at 3 months after operation and 3, 3, 2, 4 at 6 months after operation. There was no clinical symptoms in patents with nutrient deficiency. Cases with deficiency of vitamins A, hypocalcemia, folic acid deficiency were 2, 2, 0 before operation, 5, 0, 0 at 3 months after operation and 3, 0, 1 at 6 months after operation. No deficiency of vitamins D, vitamins B12, ferritin or anemia occurred to the 10 patients. Conclusion:Laparoscopic BPD-DS is safe and effective for obesity.

Objective: To verify the criteria validity and effectiveness of the QCSS-E for screening of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia with Alzheimer's type (DAT) among the elderly in community. Methods: With stratified convenient sampling, 1 298 elderly aged 55 and over recruited from Wuxi community, who finished the clinical interviews, laboratory examination and psychological tests such as QCSS-E, ADL, MMSE, ADAS-cog, CDR, and Core Neuropsychological Test.Then they were divided into health control group(HC), MCI group and DAT group by the diagnostic criteria of Peterson’s MCI and DSM-5 AD dementia.The criteria validity and screening efficacy of QCSS-E were verified and the optimal cut off value for detecting MCI and DAT were explored. Results: There were statistically significant differences in age, education level, marital status, family structure, occupation, and scores of MMSE, ADAS-cog, CNT, and QCSS-E total score and domain scores among three groups (all P<0.01). The total score and every domains score of QCSS-E were significantly correlated with test scores such as MMSE, ADAS-cog and CNT (all P<0.01). Using the total QCSS-E score to discriminate MCI from health control, the area under the curve (AUC) was 83.5%. When the cut off value was 74.5, the accuracy rate of classification was the highest (75.0%). Using the total QCSS-E score to discriminate DAT from health control, the AUC was 83.5%. When the cut off value was 64.5, the accuracy rate of classification was the highest (94.2%). Conclusion The QCSS-E has better criteria validity and higher effectiveness in screening MCI and DAT.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the clinical characteristics and treatment of type Ⅲ-b congenital intestinal atresia (CIA). METHODS: The clinical data of 12 type Ⅲ-b CIA treated in the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2015 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Of the 12 patients diagnosed as type Ⅲ-b CIA in operation, treatment was refused during operation by their parents in 2 cases. For one child, only the proximal intestine was partly resected in the first operation, dilatation and dysplasia of the duodenum was diagnosed and total duodenum was resected and sutured in the second operation, as the child had postoperative intestinal obstruction. For one child, due to the long distal normal intestine, distal apple-peel like intestine was partly resected without mesenteric reformation. For the rest 8 children total duodenum resection and mesenteric reformation were performed. During the postoperative follow-up, one case was early rejected for further treatment by parents, one case died from complex congenital heart disease, 5 cases had the complication of short bowel syndrome. All 8 survival children received parenteral nutrition support after operation, 5 of whom received parenteral nutrition support for more than 42 days, and they were followed up for 1-3 years after discharge. The short-time efficacy was satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS For children with type Ⅲ-b CIA, the distal apple-peel like intestine should be preserved as much as possible, the mesenteric reformation should be performed and the proximal dilated bowel should be partly resected and sutured. Postoperative nutritional support and early intestinal rehabilitation contribute to the compensation for rest intestines.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic stomach intestinal pylorus sparing surgery (SIPS) in the treatment of severe obesity. Methods: The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 5 patients with severe obesity who were admitted to the China-Japan Union Hospital Affiliated to Jilin University from October to November 2018 were collected. There was 1 male and 4 females, aged from 18 to 55 years, with an average age of 33 years. All the 5 patients underwent laparoscopic SIPS. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was performed by outpatient examination, telephone interview and Wechat up to February 2019, including general condition, changes in body weight, body mass index, waistline, blood pressure, percentage of excess weight loss, fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood lipid, and uric acid at 3 months after surgery. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and they were tested with Hotelling T² test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). Results: (1) Surgical situations: 5 patients underwent successfully laparoscopic SIPS under clear surgical field, without obvious bleeding, conversion to open surgery or perioperative death. The operation time was 240 minutes (range, 165-345 minutes). (2) Postoperative situations: the time to initial out-of-bed activity, time to first and flatus, and time to initial drinking and liquid intake were 2 days (range, 2-3 days), 3 days (range, 2-3 days), and 3 days (range, 3-4 days), respectively. On the third day after surgery, all the 5 patients were confirmed anastomotic patency, without gastric leakage, stenosis, or obstruction by upper gastrointestinal contrast. The abdominal drainage-tube was removed on the fourth day after feeding without obvious discomfort and foreign substances extraction from the drainage-tube. The duration of postoperative hospital stay was 6 days (range, 6-7 days). (3) Follow-up: 5 patients with severe obesity were successfully followed up for 3 months. During the follow-up, one patient had significantly increased frequency of defecation, roughly 5-8 times a day, especially after eating greasy food. According to the dietary guidance of the case manager, diarrhea was improved significantly after reducing the intake of oily food. Of the 5 patients with severe obesity, color doppler ultrasonography examination revealed that cholestasis was found in 2 patients at 3 months after operation, which may be related to significant weight loss, ratio imbalance of bile acid to and cholesterol, intestinal microbiota, injury of vagus nerve, significant increasing in mucin of gallbladder, and without oral ursodeoxycholic acid as prescribed by the doctor. The body weight, body mass index, waistline, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure of 5 patients with severe obesity were (100±15)kg, (36±4)kg/m^2, (111±10)cm, (130±12)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and (78±14)mmHg at 3 months after operation, respectively, showing significant differences compared with these of preoperation (F=61.631, 75.558, 87.045, 9.501, 16.248, P<0.05). The percentage of excess weight loss was 44%±9%. Among the 5 patients with severe obesity, the fasting plasma glucose of 2 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus decreased from 9.55 mmol/L and 13.49 mmol/L to 5.18 mmol/L and 5.62 mmol/L after operation, respectively. Level of glycated hemoglobin decreased from 10.0% and 9.9% to 5.2% and 6.2% after operation, respectively. In the 2 patients with hyperlipidemia, one patient with hypertriglyceride had level of triglyceride, total cholesterol, and low density lipoprotein increased from preoperative 2.24 mmol/L, 4.84 mmol/L and 2.92 mmol/L to 2.47 mmol/L, 6.68 mmol/L and 5.51 mmol/L after operation, another patient with hypercholesterol had cholesterol level decreased from preoperative 5.97 mmol/L to postoperative 5.75 mmol/L after operation. In the 3 patients with hyperuricemia, two patients had the uric acid decreased from 404 μmol/L and 484 μmol/L to 319 μmol/L and 417 μmol/L after operation, respectively, one had the uric acid increased from 531 μmol/L to 674 μmol/L after operation. Conclusions Laparoscopic SIPS has a significant short-term effect on patients with severe obesity, but its long-term safety and efficacy need to be further followed up.

OBJECTIVETo analyze complications after laparoscopic Ladd operation for intestinal malrotation, related causes and possible solutions.

METHODSClinical data of 81 neonates who underwent laparoscopic Ladd operations for intestinal malrotation in the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine between January 2015 and January 2018 were reviewed. The abdominal complications and findings during operation and reoperation were analyzed.

RESULTSOperations were successfully completed in all patients, and there was no patient converted to open surgery. The annular pancreas in 6 cases and duodenal diaphragm in 4 cases were confirmed during the operation. The recurrent volvulus developed in 3 patients (3.7%), of whom 2 cases were confirmed to have midgut necrosis during open surgery 1 week and 3 months after laparoscopic Ladd operation, and both finally died; 1 case was corrected by second laparoscopic operation. Cecal perforation occurred in 1 patient (1.2%), which was caused by intensive high frequency coagulation of the appendiceal stump. One patient (1.2%) developed chylous ascites and improved after conservative treatment. Adhesive small bowel obstruction was observed in 3 cases (3.7%), and all relieved after conservative treatment.

CONCLUSIONSLaparoscopic Ladd operation for intestinal malrotation in neonates was effective, and the incidence of abdominal complications may be minimized by experienced skills and strict perioperative management.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of transumbilical single-site laparoscopic surgery for congenital duodenal obstruction (CDO) in neonates.

METHODSA retrospective analysis of clinical data of 15 patients with CDO undergoing transumbilical single-site laparoscopic treatment during November 2017 and January 2018 (single-site group), and 20 patients with CDO undergoing conventional three-hole laparoscopic treatment during August 2017 and October 2017 (three-hole group) was performed. All patients were from the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine. The operation time, time of initial feeding, time of adequate feeding, length of hospital stay after operation and postoperative complications were compared between two groups.

RESULTSThe operations were completed in all patients. No patient converted to laparotomy, and no massive hemorrhage was observed during operation. The operation time of single-site group was (90±10) min for patients with duodenal diamond-shaped anastomosis and (81±15) min for patients with Ladd operation, while those of three-hole group were (85±9) min and (72±11) min, respectively. Postoperative initial feeding time of single-site group was (5.0±1.0) d, and that of the three-hole group was (4.8±0.8) d. The adequate feeding time was (9.0±1.2) d in the single-site group, and (9.3±0.8) d in the three-hole group. The length of hospital stay after operation was (11.2±2.5) d in the single-site group, and (11.5±2.8) d in the three-hole group. There was no significant difference in operation time, postoperative initial feeding time, adequate feeding time and length of hospital stay after operation between two groups (all >0.05).

CONCLUSIONSTransumbilical single-site laparoscopic surgery for CDO in neonates is safe and effective, and the postoperative abdominal scar is more hidden.
