Objective:To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic purse- string suture clamps combined with multi-functional seal caps for esophagojejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis during total laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy (TLTG).Methods:This was a retrospective descriptive study of 42 patients with primary gastric malignancies who underwent TLTG at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University that utilized laparoscopic purse-string suture clamps and multi-functional seal caps for esophagojejunal anastomosis between May, 2024 and January, 2025. The cohort included 33 males and 9 females, with a mean age of (67.7 ±9.5) years and a mean body mass index (BMI) of (23.9±2.9) kg/m 2. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classifications were I - II in 40 patients and III in 2 patients, and all patients were definitively diagnosed preoperatively via gastroscopy, dual-energy CT, and/or MRI. Tumor locations included the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) in 28 cases (Siewert type II - III), the upper third of the stomach in 12 cases, and the middle third in 2 cases. The median distance of esophageal invasion was 1.3 cm, though in 10 cases this was ≥2 cm. Preoperative TNM staging was I-II in 17 patients and III in 25 patients. Surgical outcomes including operative time, anastomosis time, intraoperative blood loss, pathological results, and postoperative recovery were retrospectively analyzed. Results:All 42 operations were successful. The mean operative time was(212.5±26.4) minutes, and the average time from multi-functional seal cap placement to completion of the esophagojejunal anastomosis was (54.2±7.5) minutes. Mean intraoperative blood loss was (79.9±21.3) ml. Postoperative pathology confirmed R0 resection in all specimens, with a mean proximal esophageal margin distance of (2.1±1.6) cm. Furthermore, (51.9±15.1) lymph nodes on average were harvested from each patient; the mean time to oral intake was (149.5±41.4) hours; and the mean hospital stay was (11.3±5.4) days. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients: anastomotic leakage ( n=2), residual intra-abdominal infection ( n=1), pulmonary infection ( n=3), and Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher complications occurred in 2 patients. No recurrence, mortality, or anastomosis-related complications were observed within a median follow-up of 5.8 months (range 3.5-11.2). Conclusion:We find the application of the laparoscopic purse-string suture clamps and multi-functional seal caps for esophagojejunal anastomosis in TLTG to be safe and feasible, with satisfactory short-term outcomes.

AIM:To investigate the impact of es-ketamine-mediated opioid-free anesthesia(OFA)on postoperative gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gas-tric cancer.METHODS:A total of 150 pa-tients,scheduled for elective laparoscopic distal gas-trectomy for gastric cancer and meeting the inclu-sion and exclusion criteria,were randomly assigned to either the OFA group or the opioid-based anes-thesia(OBA)group using a random number ta-ble,with 75 patients in each group.The OFA group was administered an anesthesia regimen pri-marily consisting of esketamine,while the OBA group received conventional opioid anesthesia,pri-marily consisting of sufentanil and remifentanil.The primary outcome measure was postoperative flatus time,defined as the interval from the end of sur-gery to the first passage of gas.RESULTS:The OFA group exhibited a shorter postoperative flatus time compared to the OBA group(P＜0.01).Intraopera-tive blood loss and norepinephrine consumption were significantly less in the OFA group compared to the OBA group(P＜0.05);the postoperative HADS-D score was better in the OFA group than in the OBA group,and both the OFA and OBA groups showed significantly lower postoperative HADS-A and HADS-D scores compared to their preoperative levels(P＜0.05);the incidence rate of abdominal distension was significantly lower in the OFA group compared to the OBA group(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The use of esketamine-mediated opioid-free anesthesia can expedite gastrointestinal function recovery,reduce hospital stay duration,and decrease postoperative adverse reactions in patients undergoing laparo-scopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and effect of remote medical education model using online film reading training to improve the ability of ophthalmologists in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (hereinafter referred to as "Xinjiang Region" ) in diagnosing fundus diseases.Methods:The three-level film reading training system of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps system division hospital-Corps Hospital-Peking Union Medical College Hospital was established. From June 2022 to January 2023, 4 159 posterior color fundus images were continuously collected from Department of Ophthalmology of Xinjiang Corps Hospital and 4 divisional hospitals in the Corps medical system. Among them, hypertensive retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), atrophic AMD and retinal vein occlusion were 3 073, 651, 43, 186 and 206 cases, respectively. The images were divided into 3 rounds (first, second and last) according to the proportion of diseases. The doctors who participated in the training (hereinafter referred to as the "training") were 15 ophthalmologists from the Corps Hospital of Xinjiang Region and the division hospital of the Corps system. There were 7 male and 8 female. Age was (38.1±4.0) years. The titles of senior, deputy senior, intermediate and junior are 1, 6, 5 and 3 respectively; Bachelor's degree and master's degree are 13 and 2 respectively. The working time of fundus disease specialty was (9.6±3.3) years. The film reading system training was conducted before the first round of labeling, and after each round of film reading, the doctors of Peking Union Medical College Hospital gave feedback and explanation on the film reading results. The diagnostic consistency, sensitivity and specificity were compared by paired sample t test. Spearman or Pearson correlation analysis was conducted between the improvement of diagnostic level and professional title, education, age and working hours of ocular fundus disease. Results:All the participating doctors completed the first, second and last reading. After each round of film reading, the film reading summary was carried out for 2 hours. The average diagnostic agreement rates of participating physicians were 53.0%, 67.0% and 75.0%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were 0.38, 0.69, 054 and 0.66, 0.85, 0.96, respectively. There was significant difference between the first and last examination ( P<0.001). The sensitivity of the second reading was significantly higher than that of the first reading, and the sensitivity of the last reading was significantly lower than that of the second reading, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The specificity of the second reading was significantly higher than that of the first reading, and the last reading was significantly higher than that of the second reading, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). There was no significant correlation ( P>0.05) between the improvement of diagnostic level of participating physicians and educational background ( Rho=0.07), professional title ( Rho=0.13), age ( r=0.20), and working time of ophthalmofundus disease specialty ( r=0.26). Conclusions:Relying on the three-level online telemedicine training, it can improve the ability of ophthalmologists in Xinjiang region to diagnose fundus diseases. The preliminary telemedicine education model has demonstrated potential for feasibility and effectiveness in remote areas with inadequate medical resources.

With the evolution of endoscopic technology,the early screening for colorectal cancer has been widely promoted,and increasing numbers of patients with T1 stage colorectal cancer have undergone tumor endoscopic resection.Whether additional segmental resection and regional lymph node dissection are required after the endoscopic resection of T1 stage colorectal cancer should be based on histopath-ological results to determine the risk of lymph node metastasis.Some studies have shown that after additional surgery based on the risk factors in the current national and international guidelines,lymph node metastasis affects only approximately 10%of patients with T1 colorectal cancer,resulting in a large number of additional surgical excisions lacking clinical benefit.Therefore,a more accurate risk assess-ment system for lymph node metastasis is needed to solve this problem.This article reviews the current status of the risk factor assessment system for lymph node metastasis in T1 stage colorectal cancer and provides an overview of its future prospects.

Objective The aim of this study is to explore the practical value of prenatal magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)in the assessment of congenital cystic lung disease in fetuses,to evaluate the relative size of the lesion and the status of lung development,and to make an attempt at utilizing the strength of MRI in post-processing to obtain assessment indicators of the size of the lesion and the status of lung development,with which predictions can be made for the prognosis that these fetuses may face after birth.We retrospectively collected and analyzed the data of fetuses diagnosed with congenital cystic lung disease.Prenatal ultrasound examination of these fetuses led to the diagnosis that they were suspected of having congenital cystic lung disease and the diagnosis was confirmed by subsequent prenatal MRI.The fetuses were followed up to track their condition at birth(postnatal respiratory distress,mechanical ventilation,etc.),whether the fetuses underwent surgical treatment,and the recovery of the fetuses after surgical treatment.The recovery of the fetuses was followed up to explore the feasibility of prenatal MRI examination to assess fetal congenital pulmonary cystic disease,and to preliminarily explore the predictive value of prenatal MRI for the prognosis of fetuses with congenital pulmonary cystic disease.Methods MRI fetal images were collected from pregnant women who attended the West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University between May 2018 and March 2023 and who were diagnosed with fetal congenital pulmonary cystic disease by prenatal ultrasound and subsequent MRI.Fetal MRI images of congenital cystic lung disease were post-processed to obtain the fetal lung lesion volume,the fetal affected lung volume,the healthy lung volume,and the fetal head circumference measurements.The signal intensity of both lungs and livers,the lesion volume/the affected lung volume,the lesion volume/total lung volume,the cystic volume ratio(CVR),and the bilateral lung-liver signal intensity ratio were measured.The feasibility and value of MRI post-processing acquisition indexes for evaluating the prognosis of fetuses with congenital cystic lung disease were further analyzed by combining the follow-up results obtained 6 months after the birth of the fetus.Logistic regression models were used to quantify the differences in maternal age,gestational week at the time of MRI,CVR,and bilateral lung-to-liver signal intensity ratio,and to assess whether these metrics correlate with poor prognosis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to assess the value of the parameters obtained by MRI calculations alone and in combination with multiple metrics for predicting poor prognosis after birth.Results We collected a total of 67 cases of fetuses diagnosed with congenital cystic lung disease by fetal MRI between May 2018 and March 2023,and excluded 6 cases with no normal lung tissue in the affected lungs,11 cases of fetal induction,and 3 cases of loss of pregnancy.In the end,47 cases of fetuses with congenital cystic lung disease were included,of which 30 cases had a good prognosis and 17 cases had a poor prognosis.The difference in the difference between the signal intensity ratios of the affected and healthy sides of the lungs and livers of the fetuses in the good prognosis group and that in the poor prognosis group was statistically significant(P<0.05),and the signal intensity ratio of the healthy side of the lungs and livers was higher than the signal intensity ratio of the affected side of the lungs and livers.Further analysis showed that CVR(odds ratio[OR]=1.058,95% confidence interval[CI]:1.014-1.104),and the difference between the lung-to-liver signal intensity ratios of the affected and healthy sides(OR=0.814,95% CI:0.700-0.947)were correlated with poor prognosis of birth in fetuses with congenital cystic lung disease.In addition,ROC curve analysis showed that the combined application of lesion volume/affected lung volume and the observed difference in the signal intensity ratio between the affected and healthy lungs and liver predicted the prognosis of children with congenital cystic lung disease more accurately than the single-parameter judgment did,with the area under the curve being 0.988,and the cut-off value being 0.33,which corresponded to a sensitivity of 100%,a specificity of 93.3%,and a 95% CI of 0.966-1.000.Conclusions Based on the MRI of fetuses with congenital cystic lung disease,we obtained information on lesion volume,lesion volume/affected lung volume,lesion volume/total lung volume,CVR,and bilateral lung-to-liver signal intensity ratio difference,all of which showing some clinical value in predicting the poor prognosis in fetuses with congenital cystic lung disease.Furthermore,among the combined indexes,the lesion volume/affected lung volume and bilateral lung-to-liver signal intensity ratio difference are more effective predictors for the poor prognosis of fetuses with congenital cystic lung disease,and show better efficacy in predicting the poor prognosis of fetuses with congenital cystic lung disease.This provides a new and effective predictive method for further assessment of pulmonary lung development in fetuses with congenital cystic lung disease,and helps improve the assessment and prediction of the prognosis of fetuses with congenital cystic lung disease.

Objective To investigate the changes of sex hormone levels in polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)in infertile population after the assisted reproductive technology treatment,and to provide an evidence for the choice of the treatment.Methods The medical data of patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2016 to June 2021 were collected and divided into PCOS group(103)and non-PCOS group(589)according to whether they were diagnosed with PCOS,and the sex hormone changes of the two groups were compared.Results The patients in PCOS group were younger and had the higher BMI,more sinus follicles,higher AMH value,and lower total Gn usage.The number of LH/FSH>2 in PCOS group was higher than that in non-PCOS group(P<0.05).After the treatment,LH in both groups decreased,FSH,E2 and(P<0.05)increased;The difference of LH and E2 before and after the treatment in PCOS group was greater than that in non-PCOS group<0.05).Conclusion Compared with non-PCOS infertile patients,the changes of sex hormone indexes in PCOS infertile patients before and after the treatment were more obvious.In order to obtain the better clinical effect in patients with polycystic ovaries,it is recommended to pay attention to the changes of related sex hormone levels in the course of subsequent treatment,and choose a reasonable treatment plan.
