Objective:To study the feasibility and safety of left semiprone position in 3D laparoscopic liver resection for tumor in segment Ⅶ.Methods:Clinical data of 60 patients with liver tumors treated at Jinhua Central Hospita from January 2018 to September 2022 were retrospectively collected, including 40 males and 20 females, aged (51.5±4.5) years. Perioperative data on operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative time of ambulation, postoperative time to flatulate, duration of hospital stay, pathological type, complications (bile leakage, pleural effusion, etc.) were analyzed. Postoperative follow-ups were conducted through telephone reviews, outpatient visits.Results:Of 57 patients (95.0%) successfully underwent the surgery, while three cases (5.0%) were converted to open surgery due to excessive intraoperative bleeding. The operative time was (210.5±20.5) min. The intraoperative blood loss was (220.5±50.5) ml. The postoperative time of ambulation was (1.5±0.5) d, and the postoperative time to flatulate was (2.0±0.8) d. The postoperative hospital stay was (7.2±1.5) d. Bile leakage occurred in four cases (6.7%) after surgery, which was managed by conservative treatment, and pleural effusion occurred in eight cases (13.3%), which recovered after puncture and drainage. Postoperative pathology included 40 cases (66.7%) of hepatocellular carcinoma, three cases (5.0%) of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, five cases (8.3%) of liver metastases, seven cases (11.7%) of hepatic hemangioma, two case (3.3%) of angiomyolipoma, and three case (5.0%) of focal hepatic nodular hyperplasia. No tumor recurrence was observed during follow-up (median 26 months; range 18-40 months).Conclusion:The application of left semiprone position in 3D laparoscopic liver resection for tumor in segment Ⅶ is safe and feasible.

Objective To investigate the role of sodium-glucose cotransporter 1(SGLT1)inhibitor mizagliflozin(MIZA)in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease(ADPKD).Methods Western blotting,quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR),and immunofluorescence staining were used to determine the expression and distribution of SGLT1 in kidney tissues of PKD1-/-and PKD1+/+mice,human renal cancer adjacent tissue and ADPKD tissue.Renal cyst lining epithelial cells OX161 and renal tubular epithelial cells UCL93 were treated with MIZA,incubated at 37℃for 24,48,and 72 h,and then were subjected to methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium and colony formation assay to observe cell proliferation.The qPCR method was used to determine the mRNA levels of collagen 1α1,collagen 3α1,and fibronectin 1 in OX161 cells treated with 100 μmol/L MIZA for 48 h.The Madin-Darby canine kidney(MDCK)cell 3D cyst formation assay verified the effect of MIZA on cyst formation.The mRNA-seq technology was used to detect differentially expressed genes between UCL93 cells and OX161 cells,and between OX161 cells and OX161 cells treated with 100 μmol/L MIZA for 48 h,and then the differentially expressed genes were analyzed with Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis.Results The expression level of SGLT1 was significantly increased in the tissues of ADPKD patients and PKD1-/-mice compared to those in normal kidney tissues(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Immunofluorescence staining revealed that SGLT1 was mainly expressed in the cystic lining epithelial cells.Additionally,MIZA inhibited the proliferation and fibrosis of polycystic kidney cells in a concentration-and time-dependent manner,and also inhibited cyst formation in 3D formation assay in vitro.The mRNA-seq analysis and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that differentially expressed genes between OX161 cells and OX161 cells cultured in 100 μmol/L MIZA for 48 h were mainly enriched in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)-protein kinase B(Akt)and mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling pathways,which were the same as those between OX161 cells and UCL93 cells.Conclusion The SGLT1 inhibitor MIZA may inhibit the proliferation and fibrosis of polycystic kidney cells through signaling pathways such as PI3K-Akt and MAPK,delaying the growth of polycystic kidney,and it is a potential therapeutic target for ADPKD.

Objective:To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results:After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea ( Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.

Objective:To explore the clinical application of the posterior tibial artery perforator flap with the great saphenous vein (GSV) in the treatment of severe degloving injury of the forearm.Methods:From June 2015 to October 2020, 5 patinets (4 males and 1 female, aged 20-46 years old, mean age 37 years old) were treated in the Department of Hand Surgery of Yantaishan Hospital in Yantai. Aposterior tibial artery perforator flap with GSV was used to repair the partial wound of the injured forearm, together with the establishment of venous circulation of dorsal hand for all 5 patients. All the patients suffered from severe forearm degloving injury. Of which, 3 accompanied with ulna radius fracture, 2 with ulnar and radial artery injury and 2 with blood supply insufficiency in the injured fingers. The sizes of soft-tissue defect were 26 cm×18 cm-32 cm×25 cm. The sizes of the posterior tibial artery perforator flap with GSV ranged from 12 cm×5 cm to 33 cm×6 cm. The anastomoses were performed on the perforating artery and the radial artery. The GSV was anastomosed with cephalic vein with bridging anastomosis to re-establish the venous circulation of dorsal hand. Combined anterolateral thigh flaps (ALTF) were used to repair the rest wound of injured limbs in 4 patients, and the combined pedicled abdominal flap was used in 1 patient. The donor site of calf flap was sutured directly, and the skin of upper limb was thinned into medium thick to cover the thigh flap donor site, which was packed with pressure dressing. Regular follow-up reviews were carried out by outpatient clinic, telephone, WeChat APP or home-visit after the operation to observe the survival of flaps, the swelling of the distal end of injured limb, functional recovery and healing at the donor site. Functional recovery was evaluated according to the Evaluation Standard of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association.Results:All the grafted flaps in 5 patients survived. Necrosis at epidermal edge occurred in 1 calf flap, and achieved secondary healing after dress changing for 4 weeks. There was neither arterial nor venous crisis in all flaps. The oedema of the hand disappeared within 4-8 weeks, with clear dermatoglyph. There was no obvious enlarged circumference of thumb and fingers. The follow-up was carried out for 8-20 months, with 11 months in average. The flaps were elastic in good colour, and full texture without pigmentation. The donor site of the calf flap showed a linear scar. No swollen was seen in the hands of the injured forearm and the feet of donor lower legs. The range of motion of phalangeal joints was good. Recovery of finger sensation achieved at S 4. The recovery of the sensation of posterior tibial artery perforator flap reached S 3 in 2 patients and S 2 in 3 patients. Assessment of the Upper Limb Function using the Standard Issued by the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association rated excellent in 3 patients and good in 2 patients. Conclusion:The posterior tibial artery perforator flap with GSV has a reliable blood supply with a small damage to the donor site. This flap is ideal for repair of severe degloving injury of forearm and meanwhile to achieve the re-establishment of venous circulation in dorsal hand.
