Objective To establish and evaluate a mouse model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)induced by cigarette smoke(CS).Methods Forty BALB/c mice were divided randomly into a control group and a CS group.Mice in the CS group were subjected to passive smoking for 20 weeks and a COPD model was established.Morphological changes in the organs and lung,heart,liver,and kidney fibrosis were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Masson staining.Lung,cardiac,and brain cognitive function were evaluated by pulmonary function testing,small-animal ultrasound,and Morris water maze trials.Tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-1β levels in lung and brain tissues were detected by ELISA.Liver and renal functions were measured by biochemical method.Results The alveolar septum was narrowed or broken in mice in the CS group,and the adjacent alveolar cavity was enlarged and fused,consistent with the pathological changes of COPD.Neuronal degeneration and necrosis were observed in the hippocampus,but there were no significant morphological changes in other organs.Masson staining showed no obvious fibrosis in the lung,heart,liver,or kidney in CS-group mice.The result of pulmonary function tests showed that the forced expiratory volume in 0.1 second/forced vital capacity(FEV 0.1/FVC)and dynamic compliance were significantly decreased in the CS group compared with the control group,while airway resistance was obviously increased.Cognitive impairment in mice in the CS group was confirmed in the Morris water maze trial.TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β levels in lung and brain tissues were higher in the CS group compared with the control group.There were no significant differences in cardiac,liver,and renal functions between the groups.Conclusions A mouse model of COPD can be established by CS exposure for 20 weeks.Lung histomorphology,lung function,brain cognitive function,and levels of inflammatory factors can be used as indicators to evaluate the success of the model.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the density and volume of left atrial-epicardial adipose tissue(LA-EAT)and the occurrence and severity of atrial fibrillation(AF)in elderly patients.Methods:This was a retrospective case-control study.A total of 197 elderly patients with AF and 82 patients with sinus rhythm who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology and Geriatric Cardiology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2023 to July 2024.were selected.The AF group was further divided into paroxysmal AF(PAF)subgroup(111 cases)and persistent AF(PeAF)subgroup(86 cases). The density and volume of LA-EAT in all patients were meansured by coronary artery enhanced CT or left atrial enhanced CT.The differences in LA-EAT density, volume and related data among the 3 groups were compared, and their relationship with different severity of senile AF was analyzed.Logistic regression was used to analyze whether LA-EAT density and volume were risk factors for senile AF.The predictive value of LA-EAT density and volume for AF in the elderly was compared throuh restricted cubic spline analysis.Results:The average LA-EAT density in the sinus rhythm group, PAF group and PeAF group was -82.75(-87.15, -79.63), -81.70(-85.55, -75.85)and -80.45(-83.40, -76.10)HU, respectively; the standard deviation of density was 34.70(31.93, 36.28), 36.20(34.30, 37.65)and 35.45(33.63, 37.28)HU, respectively; the LA-EAT volume was 23 483.40(13 964.10, 31 645.53), 25 112.20(18 479.10, 36 917.50)and 37 836.50(25 933.80, 45 537.90)mm 3, respectively.The LA-EAT density and volume in the PAF group and PeAF group were higher than those in the sinus rhythm group(all P<0.05). The LA-EAT volume in the PeAF group was greater than that in the PAF group( P<0.001), but there was no significant difference in LA-EAT density between the two groups( P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LA-EAT density and volume, left atrial diameter(LAD)and body mass index(BMI)were the independent risk factors for AF in the elderly( P<0.05). Conclusions:LA-EAT density and volume are significantly correlated with occurrence of senile AF, and show a positive dose-response relationship.LA-EAT volume is significantly related to the severity of AF( P<0.05), while the density is not significantly related to it( P>0.05).

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR)at different early time points in adult patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VA-ECMO).Methods A retrospective study was conducted,selecting 55 adult patients who underwent VA-ECMO treatment at the First Hospital of Jiaxing from June 2020 to October 2022 as the study subjects.Then,the patients'gender,age,past history[including hypertension,diabetes,heart disease,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)],and the reason for extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation(ECMO)adjuvant therapy[including severe myocarditis,acute myocardia infarction,in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest,severe closed craniocerebral injury,severe pneumonia,pelvic fracture,other(pulmonary embolism,electrocution,traumatic hepatic rupture,post-partum hemorrhage,severe acute pancreatitis,crush syndrome)],acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ),sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)at the time of admission,and ECMO peripheral blood tests[creatinine,alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),blood lactate acid(Lac),white blood cell count(WBC),neutrophil count(NEU),lymphocyte count(LYM),hemoglobin(Hb),and platelet count(PLT)]and the last time prior to ECMO assistance,24 hours prior to the occurrence of acute kidney injury(AKI),and 24 hours after the occurrence of AKI.PLR levels at 24 hours ECMO,and the proportion of continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT).The patients were divided into a death group and a survival group based on their 30-day prognosis and further categorized into a CRRT group and a non-CRRT group based on whether CRRT was administered.Clinical indicators of patients with different prognosis and the differences in PLR levels between CRRT and non-CRRT groups were compared.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors affecting the 30-day prognosis of VA-ECMO patients.The receiver operator characteristic(ROC curves)were plotted to evaluate the prognostic predictive value of each risk factor.Results Compared to the survival group,the death group had significantly higher APACHEⅡscores,SOFA scores,LYM and proportion receiving CRRT[APACHEⅡscore:34.00(28.50,36.00)vs.25.00(14.75,34.00),SOFA score:5.00(4.00,6.50)vs.3.00(2.00,5.25),LYM(×109/L):3.40±1.97 vs.2.24±2.11,proportion receiving CRRT:91.30%(21/23)vs.62.50%(20/32)],and a significantly lower level of the last PLR prior to ECMO adjuvant[30.00(21.06,48.17)vs.58.82(41.80,145.72)],and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that the levels of the last PLR before ECMO assistance[odds ratio(OR)=0.965,95%confidence interval(95%CI)was 0.938-0.993,P=0.013],APACHEⅡscore at the time of admission(OR=1.121,95%CI was 1.018-1.234,P=0.020),and CRRT(OR=7.734,95%CI was 1.042-57.401,P=0.045)were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of the VA-ECMO patients at 30 days after adjuvant;the ROC curve analysis showed that APACHEⅡscore,CRRT and the last PLR level before ECMO assistance had a predictive value for the prognosis of VA-ECMO patients 30 days after assistance,in which the APACHEⅡscore+the last PLR level before ECMO assistance had the greatest predictive value in predicting the prognosis of the patients,with area under the curve(AUC)of 0.846,with a sensitivity of 62.5%and a specificity of 95.7%.Higher early PLR levels were associated with better prognosis.In the CRRT group,PLR levels at 24 hours before ECMO initiation,24 hours before AKI onset,and 24 hours after AKI onset were significantly lower than those in the non-CRRT group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Early PLR levels and CRRT administration have significant predictive value for the prognosis of patients undergoing VA-ECMO therapy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of 3D laparoscopic radical gastrec-tomy of gastric cancer.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. The clinical data of 90 patients undergoing total laparoscopic radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer in Zhangzhou Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January to December 2022 were selected. Patients were randomly divided into the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group by the method of random number table. Patients underwent 3D or 2D laparoscopic radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer. Observation indicators: (1) grouping of enrolled patients; (2) intra-operative and postoperative situations; (3) feelings of the major surgeon during the operation. Com-parison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of count data between groups wsa conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the nonparametric test. Results:(1) Group of enrolled patients. A total of 90 patients eligible for total laparoscopic radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer were selected. There were 56 males and 34 females, aged (61±7)years. All 90 patients were randomly divided into the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group, with 45 cases in each group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, history of abdominal surgery, surgical method, tumor site and TNM staging between the two groups ( P>0.05), indicating comparability. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations. The operation time of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group were (196±12)minutes and (204±14)minutes, respectively. The digestive tract reconstruction time of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group were (81±8)minutes and (87±12)minutes, respectively. There were significant differences in operation time and digestive tract reconstruction time between the two groups ( t=-2.85, -2.43, P<0.05). After surgery, 3 cases of the 3D laparoscopic group experienced complications (1 case of abdominal infection, 2 cases of intestinal obstruction), and 8 cases of the 2D laparoscopic group experienced complications (2 cases of anastomotic leakage, 2 cases of abdominal infection, 4 cases of intestinal obstruction). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups ( χ2=2.59, P>0.05). (3) Feelings of the major surgeon during the operation. After surgery, the major surgeon completed a questionnaire survey. The score of image quality perception of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group were 4.73±0.08 and 4.46±0.09, respectively. The score of hand-eye coordination experience of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group were 4.60±0.09 and 4.55±0.08, respectively. The score of operation comfort of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group were 4.81±0.05 and 4.62±0.08, respectively. The score of eye comfort of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group 4.49±0.07 and 4.68±0.07, respectively. There were significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=15.04, 2.57, 13.51, -12.88, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with 2D laparoscopy, 3D laparoscopic radical gastrec-tomy of gastric cancer has shorter operation time and digestive tract reconstruction time, does not increase postoperative complications, and has better feelings of the major surgeon in image quality perception, hand-eye coordination experience and operation comfort.

Conclusions:Compared with 2D laparoscopy, 3D laparoscopic radical gastrec-tomy of gastric cancer has shorter operation time and digestive tract reconstruction time, does not increase postoperative complications, and has better feelings of the major surgeon in image quality perception, hand-eye coordination experience and operation comfort.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the density and volume of left atrial-epicardial adipose tissue(LA-EAT)and the occurrence and severity of atrial fibrillation(AF)in elderly patients.Methods:This was a retrospective case-control study.A total of 197 elderly patients with AF and 82 patients with sinus rhythm who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology and Geriatric Cardiology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2023 to July 2024.were selected.The AF group was further divided into paroxysmal AF(PAF)subgroup(111 cases)and persistent AF(PeAF)subgroup(86 cases). The density and volume of LA-EAT in all patients were meansured by coronary artery enhanced CT or left atrial enhanced CT.The differences in LA-EAT density, volume and related data among the 3 groups were compared, and their relationship with different severity of senile AF was analyzed.Logistic regression was used to analyze whether LA-EAT density and volume were risk factors for senile AF.The predictive value of LA-EAT density and volume for AF in the elderly was compared throuh restricted cubic spline analysis.Results:The average LA-EAT density in the sinus rhythm group, PAF group and PeAF group was -82.75(-87.15, -79.63), -81.70(-85.55, -75.85)and -80.45(-83.40, -76.10)HU, respectively; the standard deviation of density was 34.70(31.93, 36.28), 36.20(34.30, 37.65)and 35.45(33.63, 37.28)HU, respectively; the LA-EAT volume was 23 483.40(13 964.10, 31 645.53), 25 112.20(18 479.10, 36 917.50)and 37 836.50(25 933.80, 45 537.90)mm 3, respectively.The LA-EAT density and volume in the PAF group and PeAF group were higher than those in the sinus rhythm group(all P<0.05). The LA-EAT volume in the PeAF group was greater than that in the PAF group( P<0.001), but there was no significant difference in LA-EAT density between the two groups( P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LA-EAT density and volume, left atrial diameter(LAD)and body mass index(BMI)were the independent risk factors for AF in the elderly( P<0.05). Conclusions:LA-EAT density and volume are significantly correlated with occurrence of senile AF, and show a positive dose-response relationship.LA-EAT volume is significantly related to the severity of AF( P<0.05), while the density is not significantly related to it( P>0.05).
