Bariatric and metabolic surgery has become a primary treatment for decompensated obesity, with the number of procedures rapidly increasing in China in recent years. Various improved and novel surgical techniques have emerged. Given the characteristics of the Chinese obese population lower body mass index compared to Western populations and frequent pancreatic islet dysfunction laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass remains one of the mainstream procedures in China. Although the Procedural Guideline for Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (2019 Edition) has provided standardized surgical steps, mastering and routinely implementing the procedure in clinical practice continues to pose significant challenges. Compared to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is more technically demanding and requires a longer learning curve. To avoid suboptimal weight loss or severe postoperative complications resulting from non-standardized techniques, this article summarizes the authors' clinical experience, emphasizing key technical steps: creation of the gastric pouch, standardization of gastrojejunal and jejunojejunal anastomoses, hiatal closure, and full serosalization. These insights aim to improve procedural safety and therapeutic efficacy by offering a set of practical process optimization strategies.

The unique characteristics of the deep space environment, microgravity, cosmic radiation, and extreme temperature fluctuations, are emerging as major driving forces for pharmaceutical innovation. These factors provide new avenues for optimizing drug formulations, improving crystal structure quality, and accelerating the discovery of therapeutic targets. Advances in deep space research not only help overcome critical bottlenecks in terrestrial drug development but also promote progress in structure-based drug design and deepen understanding of cellular stress-response mechanisms. Current progress in space-based pharmaceutical research primarily includes the study of disease mechanisms under microgravity, protein crystallization in microgravity, and drug development utilizing deep space radiation and resources. However, the operational complexity, high costs, and limited data reproducibility of space experiments remain key challenges hindering widespread application. Looking ahead, with the integration of automation, artificial intelligence analysis, and on-orbit manufacturing, deep space drug development is expected to achieve greater scalability and precision, opening a new frontier in biopharmaceutical science.

In ground-based experiments,ultraviolet irradiation is used to charge simulated lunar dust,aiming to quantitatively study its charging and discharging behavior in space environments.However,due to factors such as vacuum and dust disturbances,the charging and discharging processes of lunar dust are difficult to measure accurately through contact methods.Therefore,this paper designs and constructs a non-contact,in-situ surface potential measurement system based on the principle of vibrating capacitance,suitable for vacuum environments.The system combines moving average and standard deviation methods for data filtering and introduces a weighted KNN algorithm to predict and compensate for missing or anomalous data,thereby improving measurement accuracy and stability.Two typical simulated lunar dust samples,TYII-2 and CLRS-1A,were selected for charging and discharging experiments under ultraviolet irradiation.The surface potential distribution was obtained in real-time using an in-situ motion mechanism equipped with a vibrating capacitance sensor.The results show significant differences in the charging response and dissipation characteristics of the samples with different particle size distributions.
4.Safety and efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy combined with umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell transplantation in improving the prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2025;42(1):47-51
Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy combined with umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell microtransplantation in the treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. Methods A prospective study was conducted among 61 patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior intracranial circulation who underwent mechanical thrombectomy in our hospital from February 2021 to February 2023, and they were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The patients in the experimental group underwent mechanical thrombectomy combined with umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell microtransplantation, while those in the control group underwent mechanical thrombectomy alone, and there was no difference in conventional drug treatment between the two groups. The Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis were used, with P<0.05 indicating statistical significance. Results There were no significant abnormalities in blood tests and imaging findings in either group at 90 days and 6 months after treatment. There was no significant difference in the degree of neurological deficit (NIHSS score) between the two groups before surgery and on days 1,3,7, and 30 after surgery (P>0.05). The experimental group had a higher overall response rate (the proportion of patients with an mRS score of ≤2 on day 90 after surgery) than the control group [41.4% (12/29) vs 32.2% (10/31), P>0.05]. There was no significant difference in limb motor function [Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) score] between the two groups before surgery(P>0.05), and the experimental group had a better FMA score than the control group on day 90 after surgery(P<0.05). Conclusion Mechanical thrombectomy combined with umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell microtransplantation can effectively improve the long-term functional prognosis of patients, with a favorable safety profile.

Methods:Through genomic comparison, the specific target sequences of Genotype 1 and Genotype 2 Mp strains were selected to design synthetic primers and probes, and a PCR detection and classification method for Mp dual fluorescent probe was established, and the specificity, accuracy, detection limit and repeatability of the method were evaluated. The established fluorescence PCR method was used to detect the nucleic acid of clinical specimens and compared with the reported fluorescent PCR methods. Results:The nucleic acid of 18 pathogens, including other species of Mycoplasma and common respiratory bacteria and viruses, which were closely related to the Mp species, were detected, and the results showed that there was no cross-reactivity. The accuracy of detection and typing of 90 Mp nucleic acid was 100%. The detection limits of Genotype 1 and Genotype 2 Mp samples were 1.0 copy/μl, and the experimental coefficient of variation of repeatability within groups and between groups was less than 2.5%. In the detection of 88 nucleic acid of clinical specimens, the Kappa value was 0.675 and the P value was 0.267 compared with the reported real-time PCR method, showing a high degree of agreement. Conclusions:The method for detecting and genotyping Mp in this study has high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, which can be applied to the monitoring and prevention and control of Mp in the disease control system of provinces and cities at all levels in China. This method promotes the improvement of the Mp prevention and control system in China, strengthens the surveillance ability, and is of great significance for the early warning and prediction of Mp.
