OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture combined with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol on promoting intestinal function in patients after gastric cancer surgery. METHODS: Forty-four patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer were randomly divided into an experimental group (22 cases, 3 cases were excluded) and a control group (22 cases, 4 cases were excluded). Both groups received treatment under ERAS protocol, the experimental group was given electroacupuncture at bilateral Neiguan (PC6), Hegu (LI4), Zusanli (ST36) and Quchi (LI11), disperse-dense wave was selected, with frequency of 2 Hz/100 Hz. The control group received placebo electroacupuncture intervention, with the same acupoints as the experimental group, electrode pads were placed on the acupoints without electrical stimulation. Each session lasted 30 min, starting from 1 h after surgery, once every 24 h, until the patient resumed anal flatus. The intestinal sound rate of both groups was observed 24 h before surgery and 24, 48 h after surgery. The bowel sound recovery time (BSRT), time to first anal flatus, time to first defecation, and tolerance to oral enteral nutrition suspension were compared between the two groups. The levels of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were measured 24 h before surgery and 24 h after surgery in both groups. RESULTS: The intestinal sound rate 24 h after surgery was decreased compared with that 24 h before surgery in the two groups (P<0.05), the intestinal sound rate 24, 48 h after surgery in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The BSRT in the experimental group was earlier than that in the control group (P<0.05) .The levels of serum CRP, IL-6, IL-10 24 h after surgery in the experimental group were higher than those 24 h before surgery (P<0.05), while the levels of serum CRP, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ in the control group were higher than those 24 h before surgery (P<0.05); the levels of serum CRP、IL-4、IFN-γ 24 h after surgery in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05) .The tolerance rate of oral enteral nutrition suspension in the experimental group was 84.2% (16/19), which was higher than 50.0% (9/18) in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Electroacupuncture combined with ERAS protocol can improve the intestinal motility, shorten the BSRT, enhance the tolerance of oral intake, and reduce inflammatory response in patients after gastric cancer surgery.

Objective:To investigate the application value of a multi-dimensional digital moni-toring platform for perioperative period in gastric cancer patients.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 50 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrec-tomy in The Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from July 2022 to January 2024 were collected. There were 35 males and 15 females, aged (64±12)years. All patients followed the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery, and the multi-dimensional digital monitoring platform based on wearable monitoring equipment was used to implement perioperative management measures. Observation indicators: (1) results of heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring; (2) results of blood glucose and blood oxygen monitoring; (3) results of exercise and sleep monitoring; (4) results of body composition monitoring. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(IQR). Repeated measurement data were analyzed using the repeated ANOVA. Measurement data with skewed distri-bution were transformed to normal distribution by SPSS transformation function before testing. For comparison between pre- and postoperation, paired sample t test was used for measurement data with normal distribution, and nonparametric Wilcoxon signed rank sum test was used for measure-ment data with skewed distribution. Results:(1) Results of HRV monitoring. From preoperation to the third day after surgery, the standard deviation normal to normal heart beat of 50 patients was changed from(103±26)ms to(101±36)ms, the mean of the standard deviations of normal to normal heart beat calculated per 5 min segment was changed from (45±16)ms to(33±12)ms, the number of pairs of adjacent NN intervals differing by more than 50 ms in the entire recording was changed from 6.02%(4.96%) to 5.79%(4.20%), the low frequency power was changed from 376.78(468.96)ms 2 to 742.79(525.20)ms 2, the high frequency power was changed from 273.61(273.58)ms 2 to 397.48(164.87)ms 2, the ratio of low frequency power to high frequency power was changed from 1.6±0.5 to 1.6±0.6, showing significant differences in above indicators before and after operation ( F=34.43, 26.15, 24.58, 5.51, 6.11, 6.02, P<0.05). (2) Results of blood glucose and blood oxygen monitoring. From preoperation to the third day after surgery, the blood glucose of 50 patients was changed from 6.75(2.05)mmol/L to 6.90(2.63)mmol/L, showng a significant difference before and after operation ( F=45.84, P<0.05). The blood oxygen was changed from 97.00%(5.00%) to 97.50%(3.00%), showing no significant difference before and after operation ( F=2.25, P>0.05). (3) Results of exercise and sleep monitoring. From preoperation to the third day after surgery, the number of steps fo 50 pati-ents was changed from 3 043(1 224) to 1 473(767), sleep duration was changed from(8.2±1.1)hours to(7.3±0.8)hours, sleep score was changed from 80±10 to 78±5,showing significant differences in above indicators before and after operation ( F=716.46, 29.02, 47.32, P<0.05).(4) Results of body composition monitoring. The body weight of 50 patients was changed from (63±8)kg to(61±8)kg before and after operation, body fat rate was changed from 24%±8% to 22%±9%, muscle mass was changed from 43 (12)kg to 41(17)kg, body mass index was changed from (23.0±2.6)kg/m 2 to(22.1±2.5)kg/m 2, showing significant differences in above indicators before and after operation ( t=8.19, 3.00, Z=-2.78, t=7.34, P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in basal metabolic indicators from (1 390±134)kcal to (1 379±139)kcal before and after operation ( t=1.02, P>0.05). Conclusion:The multi-dimensional digital monitoring platform for preoperative period can accurately monitor the perioperative stress level and evaluate the postoperative recovery of gastric cancer patients, which can present the visual results.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, molecular pathology characteristics, and prognosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) exhibiting co-expression of p40 and thyroid transcription factor1 (TTF1).Methods:Clinical and pathological data of six NSCLC cases with co-expression of p40 and TTF1 diagnosed at the First People′s Hospital of Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, China from January 2016 to December 2023 were collected. Relevant literature was also reviewed.Results:NSCLC with co-expression of p40 and TTF1 commonly occurred in male smokers and had been in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ when diagnosis. Microscopic examination revealed that the tumor cells were arranged in solid nests and sheets with marked atypia and visible mitotic figures. There was no prominent evidence of keratinization or glandular formation. The tumor cells diffusely co-expressed p40 and TTF1, exhibiting a dual immunophenotype characteristic of both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Molecular testing of four NSCLC co-expressing p40 and TTF1 revealed the presence of common EGFR mutations, as well as mutations of NRAS (mutation rate of 2.09%), EML4-ALK (mutation rate of 24.77%), and PIK3CA (exon 10 c.1658 G>C p.S553T, mutation rate of 4.32%). All six tumors were poorly differentiated, highly invasive, and associated with poor prognosis. Four of the six patients experienced widespread metastasis and died within 7 to 30 months after the diagnosis or initial treatment.Conclusions:NSCLC with co-expression of p40 and TTF1 exhibits distinct clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes, molecular alterations, and clinical outcomes, characterized by rapid progression and poor prognosis. Pathologists should be vigilant in recognizing this entity to avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of paliperidone palmitate treatment on schizophrenic patients in the community. Methods446 schizophrenic patients who used paliperidone palmitate injection were selected in Shanghai. Before and after the treatment， the disease family burden scale， the concise evaluation scale of drug treatment compliance， the VAS100 score of treatment satisfaction， the short form of quality of life measurement scale， and the screening scale of social function defects were used to evaluate the effects of paliperidone palmitate injection. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. ResultsAfter using paliperidone palmitate injection， the total score of family burden （13.94±12.17）， the score of daily family activities （3.26±2.74）， the score of family entertainment activities （2.21±2.30）， and the score of family relationship （2.79±2.76） were significantly higher than those before the treatment （14.98±12.64， 3.51±2.88， 2.48±2.38， 3.11±2.87， respectively， all with P<0.05）. The scores of the World Health Organization on quality of life brief scale （62.89±11.94） and the medication compliance scale （28.11±5.64） were better than those before treatment （60.67±12.62 and 27.37±6.96， all with P<0.05）. Compared with the prior treatment without paliperidone palmitate injection， the number of readmissions after treatment was significantly reduced （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe treatment of paliperidone palmitate injection has significant effect， which can effectively reduce the disease family burden of Schizophrenic patients， improve their quality of life， enhance their drug compliance， reduce the readmission rate of patients， ensure long-term treatment effect and promote disease recovery.
