Objective:To compare postoperative anal function recovery between laparoscopic subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecorectal anastomosis and laparoscopic total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis for slow transit constipation.Methods:This multicenter retrospective cohort study enrolled patients meeting the following criteria: (1) severe constipation symptoms (<2 bowel movements/week), absent or insignificant defecation urge, abdominal distension, requiring laxatives to maintain bowel movements or laxatives being ineffective; (2) constipation symptoms for over 5 years, ineffective after >2 years of medical treatment, with strong desire for surgery; (3) significantly prolonged colon transit time (>72 hours) without significant gastric or small intestinal transit dysfunction; (4) no organic colonic lesions confirmed by colonoscopy and abdominal CT. Exclusion criteria: (1) patients undergoing open surgery; (2) exclusion of outlet obstruction constipation (e.g., rectocele, rectal prolapse, puborectalis spasm) by functional defecation MRI; (3) comorbid psychiatric disorders; (4) missing clinical data or loss to follow-up (postoperative follow-up <24 months). Based on these criteria, clinical and follow-up data were collected from 220 patients who underwent either laparoscopic subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecorectal anastomosis (LSC group, n = 115) or laparoscopic total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (LTC group, n = 105) for slow transit constipation between January 2013 and December 2022. Subjective anal function (Constipation Severity Score and Wexner Fecal Incontinence Score) and objective anal function (positive rate of rectoanal inhibitory reflex [RAIR] and anorectal manometry) were observed preoperatively and at 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. Results:No significant differences were found in baseline characteristics between the two groups (all P >0.05). All surgeries were completed successfully without major significant complications. Subjective anal function assessment: At 24 months postoperatively, Constipation Severity Scores decreased significantly compared to preoperative scores in both groups [LSC group: (25.2±2.8) vs. (2.9±1.8), P <0.001; LTC group: (25.8±2.9) vs. (2.8±1.9), P<0.001]. No significant differences were found between the groups at 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively (all P>0.05). Wexner Fecal Incontinence Scores at 24 months were significantly lower than those at 6 months in both groups [LSC group: (12.9±1.8) vs. (3.9±2.5), P<0.001; LTC group: (12.6±1.8) vs. (5.4±2.4), P<0.001]. Although no significant difference was found at 6 months ( P = 0.190), the LSC group had significantly lower Wexner scores than the LTC group at 12 and 24 months postoperatively (both P < 0.001). Objective anal function assessment: (1) Positive RAIR rate: Preoperative positive RAIR rates were 33.0% (38/115) in the LSC group and 25.7% (27/105) in the LTC group ( P > 0.05). At 24 months, positive rates increased significantly in both groups [LSC: 66.1% (76/115); LTC: 63.8% (67/105)] compared to preoperative rates (both P<0.001), but no significant differences were found between groups at 6, 12, and 24 months (all P>0.05). (2) Resting pressure (RP) and squeeze pressure (SP): No significant differences were found in preoperative RP and SP between groups (all P>0.05). The LSC group had significantly higher RP and SP than the LTC group at 6 and 12 months postoperatively (all P<0.05), but no significant differences were found at 24 months ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Both laparoscopic subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecorectal anastomosis and laparoscopic total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis are safe for patients with slow transit constipation. However, laparoscopic subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecorectal anastomosis offers superior postoperative anal function recovery.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the Palatopharyngeal Arch Staging System（PASS） and the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea（OSA）, as well as the patterns of airway collapse, while further assessing its clinical applicability. Methods:A total of 98 patients diagnosed with OSA at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Shenzhen University Affiliated Shenzhen Hospital, were recruited for this study. Data collected included basic demographic information, oropharyngeal laryngoscopy videos, results from awake laryngoscopy Muller tests, and indicators from sleep respiratory monitoring. The distribution of each PASS stage among patients with varying severities of OSA was compared. Additionally, both objective and subjective sleep indicators along with occurrences of airway collapse in OSA patients across different PASS stages were analyzed. Results:In total, 98 patients participated in this study. Statistically significant differences were observed in neck circumference, weight, Body Mass Index（BMI）, tongue position, and PASS stage when comparing mild-to-moderate OSA patients to those with severe OSA（P<0.05）. Furthermore, there were statistically significant variations in Apnea-Hypopnea Index（AHI）, minimum blood oxygen saturation levels, average blood oxygen saturation levels, oxygen desaturation index values, and total oxygen desaturation indices among OSA patients categorized by different PASS stages. Multiple comparisons revealed statistically significant differences in AHI as well as minimum and average blood oxygen saturation levels between patients at PASS 1 versus those at PASS 3（P<0.05）. Additionally, notable differences regarding oropharyngeal collapse rates among OSA patients across various PASS stages were identified; specifically between those at PASS stage 1 and those at PASS stage 3. Conclusion:The proportion of PASS stages for OSA varies across different severity levels. The severity of OSA and the degree of airway collapse in patients with varying PASS stages also exhibit significant differences. Patients classified as PASS 3 demonstrate a more severe form of OSA compared to those at PASS 1, with stage 3 being more susceptible to oropharyngeal collapse than its stage 1 counterpart. This assessment system is anticipated to address the current limitations in evaluating the lateral pharyngeal wall within the oropharynx.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of magnetic tracer technique for locating pulmonary nodules.Methods A tracer magnet and a matching puncture instrument were designed by ourselves for locating pulmonary nodules.After preliminarily verifying the feasibility of the operation in the isolated lung,four beagle dogs were used as animal models to perform puncture localization of the assumed lesions in the upper lobe of the right lung under the guidance of X-ray by using self-designed tracer magnets and puncture instruments,and the positioning effect was observed and evaluated after thorax opening.The operation time required for the tracer magnet implantation,whether there is bleeding at the puncture site,whether the tracer magnet is displaced,and the positioning time of pulmonary nodules after thorax opening were recorded.Results Two tracer magnets were successfully inserted into the upper lobe of the right lung under X-ray guidance in four beagle dogs,and the magnets were successfully attracted and fixed.The median insertion time of the tracer magnet was 5 minutes(4 to 7 minutes),and the insertion process was smooth without bleeding at the puncture site.After thorax opening,oval forceps were used to conveniently locate the location of the tracer magnet,achieving accurate positioning of pulmonary nodules with a median positioning time of 13 seconds(10 to 17 seconds),and the tracer magnet did not shift during the whole process.Conclusion The magnetic tracer technique is simple to operate and pricise for localization of pulmonary nodules.With further optimization of the operation process,this technique is expected to be applied in clinic.

Objective To investigate the nebulization characteristics of human interferon α1b for injection.To characterize and compare the delivery rate,total drug substance and the aerodynamic characteristics between the two types of nebulizer.Methods Connect two types of nebulizers with a breathing simulator,respectively,and simulate the breathing patterns of an infant and child.Measure the delivery rate,total delivered dose,and delivery uniformity.The aerodynamic properties of human interferon α1b for injection were evaluated by the next generation impactor(NGI).The content of human interferon α1b was quantified by double antibody sandwich ELISA.Results In the three batches of samples in infant mode,the delivery rate and total delivered dose determind by A nebulizer were 0.45,0.49,0.44 μg·min-1,3.06,3.21,3.81 μg,respectcively;and 0.12,0.14,0.16 μg·min-1,0.73,0.73,0.75 μg,respectcively by B nebulizer.In child mode,the delivery rate and total delivered doses determined by A nebulizer were 1.36,1.49,1.20 μg·min-1,7.44,7.17,and 6.54 μg,respectcively;and 0.37,0.36,0.43 μg·min-1,1.66,1.59,and 1.41 μg,respectcively by B nebulizer.In child and infant mode,the ten results of the total drug substance delivered determined by nebulizer A were both between 65%to 135%of the average.The FPD,FPF,MMAD,and GSD determined by A neublizer of three batch samples were 2.48,2.92,2.35 μg,59.0%,57.4%,59.1%,4.18,4.34,4.15 μm,1.94,1.98,2.01,respectively.The FPD,FPF,MMAD and GSD determined by B neublizer of three batches samples were 2.70,3.38,3.06 μg,67.6%,66.4%,66.3%,3.55,3.65,3.68 μm,2.03,2.04,2.06,respectively.Conclusions The data obtained in this research characterized the in vitro nebulization characteristics of human interferon α1b for injection and provided a theoretical basis and reference for in vitro study and clinical practice.The influence of different types of nebulizers on nebulization characteristics was evaluated as well.It is suggested that the quality standard of nebulizers be strictly formulated and the use of nebulizers be standardized.

Lung cancer poses a serious threat to global public health security.Chemotherapy,as the main strategy for cancer treatment,faces challenges such as high toxicity and drug resistance.Anticancer peptides have the potential of being developed into new anticancer drugs due to their advantages of broad-spectrum anticancer activity,rapid action,and difficulty in generating drug resistance,but they also face shortcomings such as weak activity and strong toxic side effects.The weakly acidic microenvironment of tumors(pH 6.5-6.8)provides a good idea for the design of anticancer peptides of high-efficiency and low-toxicity.Previously,we designed the acid-sensitive antibacterial peptide pHly-1 using the wolf spider(Lycosa singoriensis)toxin Lycosin-Ⅰ as a template.In this study,we found that pHly-1 also had acid-sensitive anticancer activity.Further alanine scanning analysis of pHly-1 was carried out,and we ob-tained a mutant pHTP-2 with better acid sensitivity,whose IC50(half maximal inhibitory concentration)against A549 cells was 15.68 μmol/L at pH 6.6 and was greater than 100 μmol/L at pH 7.4.At pH 6.6,pHTP-2 could act on various lung cancer cell lines and induce the death of A549 cells by rapid ly-sis;at pH 7.4,500 μmol/L pHTP-2 had weak toxicity to red blood cells(the hemolysis rate was ap-proximately 38％)and primary myocardial cells(the inhibition rate was 49.7％,with P＜0.05).Analy-sis of its charge,particle size,morphology,and secondary structure showed that at pH 6.6,the histidine in the sequence of pHTP-2 was protonated,increasing the positive charge(P＜0.01),decreasing the hy-drated particle size(P＜0.05)and forming an α-helical structure to induce membrane lysis of A549 cells.At pH 7.4,it was deprotonated,the positive charge decreases,a β-sheet structure was formed and self-aggregation occurred,limiting its effect on the A549 cell membrane and showing weak activity.In summary,pHTP-2 could respond to the weakly acidic microenvironment of tumors to exert selective cyto-toxic activity,effectively overcoming the shortcomings of anticancer peptides such as low efficiency and high toxicity.Our findings suggest that it is a high-quality lead molecule for anticancer drugs.
