Objective:To assess the occurrence, prognosis and possible early risk factors of jaundice in polytrauma patients.Methods:This study was a single-center, prospective study. Polytrauma patients (age>18 years) admitted to Tongji Trauma Center from October 2020 to January 2023 were enrolled. The patients with liver, biliary tract or pancreatic traumatic injury, previously suffered from chronic liver disease were excluded. The clinical characteristics of patients, laboratory test results, imaging examination results, Injury Severity Score (ISS), Glasgow Coma Score and APACHEⅡ score were collected. The incidence of jaundice, the classification of jaundice or the severity of jaundice after multiple injuries, the mortality rate of polytrauma patients with jaundice, and the early independent risk factors of jaundice in polytrauma were analyzed. The differences between the groups were compared by Student’s t test or χ2 test. The independent risk factors of jaundice were analyzed by Logistic regression analyzed. Results:A total of 742 polytrauma patients were included, 34.09% polytrauma patients were accompanied by jaundice, and the ratio of both moderate and severe jaundice were as high as 32.41%. The main type of jaundice was intrahepatic cholestatic jaundice (47.03%). The mortality rate of polytrauma patients accompanied by jaundice was significantly higher than that of polytrauma patients without jaundice (12.25% vs. 3.47%, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that ISS score ( OR=3.405, 95% CI: 1.962-7.438, P=0.026), plasma lactate ( OR=2.216, 95% CI: 1.203-4.862, P=0.017), interleukin-6 levels ( OR=2.431, 95% CI: 1.424-3.793, P=0.007), the overall duration of parenteral nutrition ( OR=3.011, 95% CI: 1.624-5.041, P=0.022), and the total duration of mechanical ventilation ( OR=3.572, 95% CI: 1.497-4.601, P=0.031) were the early independent risk factors for jaundice in patients after polytrauma. Conclusions:Polytrauma patients are prone to developing jaundice after injury, which is more harmful, especially for intrahepatic cholestatic jaundice after injury. Early identification and early intervention of risk factors associated with jaundice after injury should be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of Dictyophora polysaccharide on neurotoxicity induced by sodium arsenite in rats.Methods:Sixty SD rats (half males and half females) were selected and fed adaptively for one week. The rats were divided into a normal group ( n = 20, ordinary feed) and a modeling group [ n = 40, arsenic-containing feed (50 mg/kg sodium arsenite)] according to their body weight (80 - 100 g) by random number table method. After 12 weeks, the arsenic content in brain and blood of the rats ( n = 10) was measured to identify the arsenism model. After successful modeling, the rats in the modeling group were divided into Dictyophora polysaccharide group (arsenic-containing feed + 20 ml·kg -1·bw Dictyophora polysaccharide solution by gavage), and model group (arsenic-containing feed + equal volume distilled water by gavage), while the rats in the normal group (ordinary feed + equal volume distilled water by gavage) were retained, with 10 rats in each group for 4 weeks of intervention. Morris water maze test was used to assess the spatial learning and memory ability of the rats. Nissl staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the brain tissue, and the oxidative stress factors [superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), malondialdehyde (MDA)], and inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin -1β (IL-1β)] in the brain tissue of each group were measured. Results:Brain arsenic content of rats in the modeling group [(92.02 ± 13.37) μg/g] and blood arsenic content [(51.37 ± 19.33) μg/L] were higher than those of the normal group [(7.42 ± 3.21) μg/g and (2.74 ± 1.29) μg/L, t = - 6.91, - 6.06, P < 0.001]. The rat model of arsenic poisoning was successfully established. Compared with the normal group, the escape latency on the 1st, 3rd and 4th day and the first arrival time of rats in the model group were prolonged, the number of platform crossings was reduced, and the proportion of target quadrant residence time was decreased ( P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the escape latency on the 4th day and the first arrival time of rats in the Dictyophora polysaccharide group were shortened, and the proportion of target quadrant residence time was prolonged ( P < 0.05). The results of Nissl staining showed that compared with the normal group, the number of Nissl bodies was decreased, the intercellular space increased, and the arrangement was disorderly in the model group; compared with the model group, the number of Nissl bodies was increased, most of the neurons were structurally intact. Compared with the normal group, the levels of SOD and GSH-Px in the brain tissue of rats in the model group were lower, and the levels of MDA, TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly higher ( P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the levels of SOD and GSH-Px in the brain tissue of rats in the Dictyophora polysaccharide group were higher, while the levels of MDA, TNF-α and IL-1β were lower ( P < 0.05). In addition, the levels of SOD, GSH-Px, MDA and IL-1β in the Dictyophora polysaccharide group were not significantly different from those in the normal group ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Diactyophora polysaccharide probably reduces the neurotoxicity damage caused by sodium arsenite in rats through antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of cardiac T 2 weighted dark blood sequence (T 2W-DB) based on artificial intelligence assisted compression-sensing(ACS) in clinical cardiac MR examination, compared with the conventional cardiac fast spin-echo T 2W-DB sequence. Methods:A total of 38 patients referred for cardiac MR examination in Tongji Hospital were enrolled prospectively from August to December 2021. The conventional T 2W-DB scan and the single-shot ACS T 2W-DB scan were acquired at continuous short-axial slices covering the whole left ventricle in all patients, and the acquisition time of each scan was recorded. The image quality of the two sequences was evaluated by the objective quantitative parameters and the subjective scoring methods, respectively. The signal to noise ratio (SNR), the contrast to noise ratio of the interventricular septum to blood pool (CNR), and the sharpness of the images were calculated. The subjective scoring was to evaluate the overall image quality, the effect of blood pool suppression, the visibility of right ventricular free wall, left ventricular free wall, and interventricular septum with a 5-point Likert scale. The intraclass correlation coefficient and Kendall W were calculated to evaluate the interobserver agreement of the objective quantitative parameters and subjective scoring. The paired t-test or Wilcoxon test was used to compare the difference in acquisition time, objective quantitative parameters and subjective scoring between the conventional T 2W-DB and the single-shot ACS T 2W-DB. Results:The inter-observer agreement between the single-shot ACS T 2W-DB and conventional T 2W-DB was good in all the objective quantitative parameters and subjective scoring of image quality ( P<0.05 for all). Compared with conventional T 2W-DB, acquisition time of single-shot ACS T 2W-DB was remarkably shortened [(85.8±14.7) s vs. (16.9±3.0) s, t=35.42, P<0.001]. Compared with SNR (66.4±29.0) and CNR(61.8±28.6) of conventional T 2W-DB, single-shot ACS T 2W-DB had significantly higher SNR(110.8±36.8, t=-8.13, P?0.001) and CNR(88.2±31.1, t=-5.89, P?0.001). Compared with conventional T 2W-DB, single-shot ACS T 2W-DB had better blood pool inhibition effect (4.6±0.6 vs. 4.7±0.5, Z=-2.64, P=0.008). There was no significant difference in overall image quality, visibility of right ventricular free wall, left ventricular free wall, and interventricular septum between the two sequences( P>0.05 for all). Conclusions:In cardiac MR examination, compared with the conventional T 2W-DB sequence, the single-shot ACS T 2W-DB sequence can significantly shorten the acquisition time and obtain better image quality.

Objective:There is no standard method for esophageal remnant gastric reconstruction for proximal gastrectomy. Reflux esophagitis caused by esophagogastrostomy remains a difficult surgical problem. To report the preliminary surgical results of novel esophagus-conical remnant gastric side overlap anastomosis (CGEO) , with particular emphasis on postoperative esophageal reflux.Methods:In June 2022, we developed a novel CGEO for laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy on two patients with Siewert type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. Surgical procedures for CGEO: (1) Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy and preparation of conically shaped gastric remnant; (2) Determining anastomotic site of residual stomach and esophagus; (3) Side-to-side anastomosis of right esophageal wall to anterior of conical gastric remnant; (4) Valvuloplasty of esophageal stump.Results:Case 1 was a 71-year-old man with an operation time of 305 minutes and was successfully discharged from the hospital on the 9th day after surgery, and the postoperative pathology was T3N0M0. Case 2 was an 82-year-old man with an operation time of 325 minutes. He was discharged on the 10th day after surgery. In both cases, only mild esophageal mucosal changes were seen in gastroscopy, there were no obvious symptoms of esophageal reflux. There was also no significant weight change at half a year after operation.Conclusion:CGEO is moderately safe in radical surgery for proximal gastric cancer, and may have a preventive effect on the occurrence of postoperative esophageal reflux, but long-term results need to be confirmed by further studies with follow-up.

Objective:To retrospectively assess early risk factor of persistent inflammation, immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome (PICS) in patients with severe polytrauma, in order to deepen the understanding of the pathological changes of chronic critical illness (CCI) after severe polytrauma.Methods:A total of 276 patients with severe polytrauma admitted to Department of Trauma Surgery of Tongji Hospital from March 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled. Inclusion criteria included patients who suffered severe polytrauma, and injury severity score (ISS) ≥27, age ≥18 years old, and had length of hospital stay >15 days. Exclusion criteria included previous medical history of malignancy, or immunological, consumptive, and metabolic diseases. The patient’s clinical characteristics, ISS scores, Glasgow coma scale (GCS), sequential organ failure assessment, APACHEⅡ scores, and nutrition and immune indexes on day 3 after injury were collected. The difference between the PICS group and N-PICS group were performed by Student’s t test, χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U test. The early risk factors were assessed in patients with PICS after severe polytrauma by logistic regression analysis. Results:According to the diagnostic criteria of PICS, all enrolled patients were divided into two groups: PICS group ( n=102) and N-PICS group (without PICS, n=174). Compared with the N-PICS group, patients in the PICS group were older and associated with more brain and chest injuries. On the third day after injury, serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10, and the ratio of Treg cells were significantly higher, the number and ratio of NK cells subset, and the ratio of activated T lymphocyte were significantly lower in the PICS group than in the N-PICS group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the age>65 years old ( OR=2.375, 95% CI: 1.442-4.531), GCS ≤8 scores ( OR=3.431, 95% CI: 1.843-8.512), IL-10 >10 pg/mL ( OR=2.173, 95% CI: 1.751-5.614), the ratio of Treg cells >7% ( OR=3.871, 95% CI: 1.723-6.312), and the occurrence of traumatic brain and chest injuries ( OR=2.846, 95% CI: 1.522-5.361) were the early risk factors in patients with PICS after severe polytrauma. Conclusions:Age>65 years old, GCS score, IL-10, the ratio of Treg cells, and the occurrence of traumatic brain and chest injuries could be used as the early risk factors in patients with PICS after severe polytrauma. The discovery of early risk factors will help identify patients at high risk of PICS after severe polytrauma, and create the possibility for early intervention.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thoracic radiotherapy in the treatment of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) with different metastatic sites.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed among 830 ES-SCLC patients who were admitted to our hospital from 2010 to 2019. They all received the first-line chemotherapy and had no progression after chemotherapy. 341 patients of them received thoracic radiotherapy after chemotherapy. The main endpoint was overall survival. The Chi-square test was used to compare the categorical data including gender and age, etc. Univariate survival analysis was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test was used to compare the survival curves between two groups. A multivariate prognostic analysis was made by the Cox proportional hazard model.Results:In all the patients, the overall survival (OS) was 12.4 months. The patients with thoracic radiotherapy had significantly higher OS than the patients without thoracic radiotherapy (15.2 months vs.10.8 months, P<0.001). Thoracic radiotherapy significantly improved the OS in patients without liver metastasis (16.0 months vs.11.4 months, P<0.001) in the oligometastatic patients. But for the oligometastatic patients with liver metastasis, the OS benefit was not significant (14.2 months vs. 10.6 months, P=0.072). For polymetastatic patients without liver metastasis, thoracic radiotherapy offered significant OS benefits (14.5 months vs.10.9 months, P<0.001), but for the polymetastatic patients with liver metastasis, the OS was not improved with thoracic radiotherapy (10.2 months vs.9.2 months, P=0.715). Conclusions:In ES-SCLC patients, thoracic radiotherapy provides significant OS benefits in patients with oligometastases ES-SCLC without liver metastasis and for the liver metastatic patients may also benefit from thoracic radiotherapy based on the effectiveness of chemotherapy. In patients with multiple metastases, thoracic radiotherapy only improves the OS in patients without liver metastasis, but does not improve the prognosis in patients with liver metastasis.
