African swine fever virus(ASFV)I177L gene deletion vaccine is one of the key directions of African swine fever(ASF)live attenuated vaccine research and development.In order to effec-tively distinguish between the wild-type ASFV strain and the I177L gene-deleted strain,specific primers and probes were designed based on ASFV B646L and I177L genes,respectively.After screening and optimization,a duplex real-time PCR method was developed that can simultaneously detect these two genes.The results showed that ASFV B646L and I177L genes were detected spe-cifically and simultaneously by the method developed without cross-reactions with porcine circovir-us type 2,Seneca virus A,classical swine fever virus,foot-and-mouth disease virus,porcine respira-tory and reproductive syndrome virus.The detection limits of the duplex real-time PCR for recom-binant plasmids pUC57-B646L and pUC57-I177L were 1×103 copies/mL.The intra-and inter-as-say coefficients of variation were less than 4％,respectively.Detection of 122 pork and pork prod-ucts using the duplex real-time PCR developed and the real-time PCR recommended by WOAH showed that the coincidence rates of the two methods for B646L gene detection was 100％with two amplification curves appeared in the positive results of the established methods.The method established in this study can be used for the detection of ASFV I177L gene deletion strains,which provides technical support for ASF surveillance and epidemiological investigation.

Objective:To systematically review the profile of lymph node dissection (LND) for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) in China.Methods:Using the key words "intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma" "intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma" "lymph node dissection" "lymphadenec-tomy" "lymph node metastasis", the databases including China Zhiwang, Wanfang, Weipu, Sinomed, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library were systematically searched. Cohort studies or randomized controlled clinical trials with intraoperative LND documentation and with analysis on the clinicopathologic characteristics or prognostic influences on patients with ICC were included into this meta-analysis from the date of database creation to April 20, 2022. The risk of bias in non-randomized controlled trials was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. A meta-analysis of preoperative imaging lymph node enlargement rates, LND rates, and pathological lymph node metastasis rates were performed using R software.Results:Thirty-three relevant studies that met the systematic evaluation criteria were included, all of which were retrospective cohort studies. All these publications were of medium to high quality. Patients’ enrollment ranged from 1993 to 2020. Patients were enrolled from 20 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities with a total of 39 medical centers and 4 278 patients. The meta-analysis indicated that the LND rate, preoperative imaging lymph node enlargement rate, pathological lymph node metastasis rate were 47.8%(95% CI: 41.3%-54.3%), 18.5%(95% CI: 7.5%-29.6%) and 51.2%(95% CI: 43.8%-58.6%), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed the LND rate was 36.0%(95% CI: 27.0%-45.0%) in studies with a median year of enrollment before 2010, 48.3% (95% CI: 38.1%-58.6%) in studies from 2010 to 2017, and 53.3%(95% CI: 43.3%-63.2%) in studies after 2017. The LND rates were statistically different in the studies in the different periods of patient enrollment ( P=0.032). Conclusion:The meta-analysis indicated that the overall LND rate for ICC in China was not high but showed an increasing tendency.

In the past few years, there has seen an increase in the detection rate of early upper gastric cancer. Early upper gastric cancer is of good prognosis. How to further enhance the postoperative quality of life of patients has increasingly become an issue of concern. This has naturally given rise to function-preserving proximal gastrectomy. However, due to its damage to the original structure of cardia and its vicinity, proximal gastrectomy is prone to postoperative reflux. To prevent postoperative reflux, various ways of digestive tract reconstruction have emerged one after another, but the optimal way thereof remains controversial. Therefore, reducing postoperative reflux through an appropriate way of digestive tract reconstruction has been taken as a focus of proximal gastrectomy. Esophagogastric anastomosis with seromuscular flap technique, as a way of digestive tract reconstruction, builds an "artificial cardia" on the basis of guarantee of normal entry of food into the digestive tract, and functions against postoperative reflux. For its good anti-reflux effect, eso-phagogastric anastomosis with seromuscular flap technique has gradually become a research focus. On top of the latest research progress at home and abroad and relevant evidence-based medicine, the authors provide on the principles, key points, improvement, postoperative status, and applica-tion of esophagogastric anastomosis with seromuscular flap technique in laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy.

Objective:To study the efficacy of endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation (EPBD) in the treatment of non-dilated small choledocholithiasis.Methods:Clinical data of 142 patients with non-dilated small choledocholithiasis admitted to Zhanjiang Central People's Hospital from April 2021 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 63 males and 79 females, aged (55.1±15.4) years old. Patients were divided into the EPBD group ( n=63) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) group ( n=79). Blood amylase, liver enzymology, liver metabolism, and blood routine were monitored before and 48 hours after treatment. The occurrences of intraoperative bleeding, perforation, post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), and cholangitis were compared between the groups. Patients were followed up and screened for stone recurrence by outpatient review 3 to 12 months from discharge. Results:Compared to preoperative data, the white blood cell count, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total bili-rubin, and direct bilirubin decreased 48 hours after treatment (all P<0.05). The operation time in EPBD group was slightly longer than that in EST group [(43.1±5.9) min vs. (38.5±4.5) min, P=0.064] without statistical significance. There were no case of perforation in both groups. The incidences of intraopera-tive bleeding [3.17%(2/63) vs. 6.33%(5/79)], PEP [17.46%(11/63) vs. 10.53%(8/79)], and postoperative cholangitis [4.76%(3/63) vs. 1.27%(1/79)] were comparable between the groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:EPBD could be feasible for non-dilated small choledocholithiasis, which does not increase the operation time and incidence of adverse events compared to EST.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic-assisted inters-phincteric resection (ISR) with different surgical approaches for low rectal cancer.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 90 patients with low rectal cancer who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2016 to December 2020 were collected. There were 58 males and 32 females, aged (60±9)years. Of 90 patients, 60 cases underwent laparoscopic assisted ISR with transpelvic approach, 30 cases underwent laparoscopic assisted ISR with transabdominal and transanal mixed approach. Observation indicators: (1) clinicopathological characteristics of patients with transpelvic approach and mixed approach; (2) intraoperative and postoperative conditions of patients with transpelvic approach and mixed approach; (3) postoperative complications of patients with transpelvic approach and mixed approach; (4) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by telephone interview and outpatient examination once every 3 months within postoperative 3 years, once every six months in the postoperative 3 to 5 years and once a year after postoperative 5 years to detect tumor recurrence and metastasis, and survival of patients.Follow-up was up to March 2021 or patient death. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and the t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was performed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed by the non-parametric rank sum test. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves and calculate survival rates, and survival analysis was performed by the Log-Rank test. Results:(1) Clinicopathological characteristics of patients with transpelvic approach and mixed approach. The sex (males, females), distance from the distal margin of tumor to anal margin were 34, 26, (4.5±0.5)cm for patients with transpelvic approach, versus 24, 6, (3.5±0.5)cm for patients with mixed approach, respectively, showing significant differences between them ( χ2=4.75, t=8.35, P<0.05). (2) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions of patients with transpelvic approach and mixed approach. The operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, distance from the postoperative anastomosis to anal margin were (187±9)minutes, 50(range, 20?200)mL, (3.4±0.7)cm for patients with transpelvic approach, versus (256±12)minuets, 100(range, 20?200)mL, (2.6±0.7)cm for patients with mixed approach, showing significant differences between them ( t=?26.99, Z=?2.48, t=4.67, P<0.05). None of the 90 patients had a positive distal margin. The stoma reversal rates of patients with transpelvic and mixed approach were 93.3%(56/60) and 90.0%(27/30), respectively. Of the 60 patients with transpelvic approach, 3 cases had no stoma reversal due to anastomotic complications, and 1 case was not yet to the reversal time. Of the 30 patients with mixed approach, 2 cases had no stoma reversal due to anastomotic complications, and 1 case was not yet to the reversal time. The 1-, 3-month Wexner scores after stoma reversal were 15(range, 12?17), 12(range, 10?14) for patients with transpelvic approach, versus 16(range, 14?18), 14(range, 12?16) for patients with mixed approach, showing significant differences between them ( Z=?4.97, ?5.49, P<0.05). The 6-month Wexner score after stoma reversal was 10(range, 9?12) for patients with transpelvic approach, versus 11(range, 8?12) for patients with mixed approach, showing no significant difference between them ( Z=?1.59, P>0.05). (3) Postoperative complications of patients with transpelvic approach and mixed approach. The complications occurred to 16 patients with transpelvic approach and 9 patients with mixed approach, respectively, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=0.11, P>0.05). Cases with postoperative anastomotic fistula, cases with anastomotic bleeding, cases with anastomotic stenosis, cases with intestinal obstruction, cases with incision infection, cases with urinary retention, cases with pelvic infection, cases with pulmonary infection, cases with incisional hernia, cases with chylous fistula, cases with abdominal and pelvic abscess were 5, 2, 1, 7, 0, 1, 5, 3, 1, 1, 1 for patients with transpelvic approach, versus 6, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 1 for patients with mixed approach, showing no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). The same patient could have multiple postoperative complications. (4) Follow-up. All the 90 patients were followed up for 27(range, 6?62)months. The follow-up time of 60 patients with transpelvic approach was 27(range, 8?62)months. The follow-up time of 30 patients with mixed approach was 28(range, 6?53)months. Of the 60 patients with transpelvic approach, 3 cases had local recurrence, 4 cases had liver metastasis, 3 cases had lung metastasis, and all of them survived with tumor. Of the 30 patients with mixed approach, 1 case had local recurrence, 2 cases had liver metastasis, 1 case had lung metastasis, and all of them survived with tumor. There was no death. The 3-year disease-free survival rates of patients with transpelvic approach and mixed approach were 84.7% and 87.9%, respectively, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=0.39, P>0.05). Conclusions:Lapa-roscopic assisted ISR via transpelvic approach or mixed approach for low rectal cancer are safe and feasible. Compared with transanal mixed approach, the transpelvic approach of laparoscopic-assisted ISR has shorter operation time, less volume of intraoperative blood loss and longer distance from the postoperative anastomosis to anal margin.

In recent years, the detection rate of early gastric cancer in China has increased. Early gastric cancer has a good prognosis, and how to further improve the postoperative quality of life for patients has become an increasingly concerned problem in the treatment of early gastric cancer. Therefore, function preserving gastrectomy has emerged. Function preserving gastrectomy aims to reduce the resection scope and preserve part of the gastric function on the premise of radical tumor resection. As a representative of function preserving gastrectomy, pylorus-preserving gastrec-tomy is suitable for early gastric cancer in middle segment. Compared with distal gastrectomy, laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy not only has the advantage of less trauma, but also can reduce the incidence of postoperative dumping syndrome, bile reflux gastritis and gallstones, and improve postoperative nutritional status. However, the practice of pylorus-preserving gastrectomy is still in controversial. Based on the new Japanese guidelines for the treatment of gastric cancer, and combined with the latest domestic and foreign research trends and relevant evidence-based medicine basis, the authors review the definition and indications, safety, advantages, technical points, digestive tract reconstruction methods, postoperative complications and other aspects of laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy.

Objective:To explore the advantage of thyroid biopsy and evaluate detection in the application of thyroid cancer cervical lymph node dissection operation guidance, and provide evidence-based basis for guiding PTC patients whether to receive lateral dissection.Methods:The data of 258 patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma admitted to Department of Thyroid Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College from April 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were admitted to the hospital for ultrasonic examination of cervical lymph nodes. According to the examination results, thyroid biopsy and puncture eluent were performed for patients with suspicious signs of metastasis. Patients with positive test results and with metastatic signs in initial ultrasonic examination received lymph node dissection in the cervical region. All patients underwent pathological examination postoperatively to diagnose the lymph node metastasis, and to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the detection of the patients with lateral clearance.The measurement data was expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), and the count data was expressed as n(%). The software of SPSS21.0 was used to conduct statistical analysis. Results:All 258 patients were successfully completed the diagnosis of various diagnostic methods. Combined with the postoperative pathological diagnosis results, the accuracy rate of ultrasonic diagnosis of lymph node metastasis was 74.42%, the accuracy rate of FNAC diagnosis was 82.95%, the accuracy rate of FNAC-Tg diagnosis was 87.98%, and the accuracy rate of FNAC-Tg diagnosis was 94.96%. The diagnostic sensitivity of ultrasound, FNAC, FNAC-Tg and FNAC-Tg was 73.60%, 81.72%, 91.01% and 95.83%, respectively, and the diagnostic specificity was 76.25%, 86.11%, 79.71% and 88.41%, respectively. In every four months for a time span since April 2018, the average length of hospital stay for patients with each span was (9.17±1.30), (8.39±1.21), (7.94±1.03), (7.46±0.94), (7.33±0.82) d, their neck area incidence of lymph node metastasis were 17.6%, 21.3%, 15.7%, 12.9%, 11.8%, side clear surgical patients accounted for 42.3%, 37.5%, 30.9%, 26.6%, 19.4%. The incidence of lymph node metastasis was 86.8%, 79.4%, 84.5%, 93.2% and 98.1%, respectively.Conclusion:FNAC-Tg method is used in the diagnosis of thyroid papillary carcinoma patients with high sensitivity and specificity of lymph node metastasis, which has certain value in guiding patients whether to perform lymph node dissection.
