Objective:This study aims to explore the predictive value of the ratio of caliceal pelvic height to infundibular length（CPH/IL）for the stone-free rate（SFR）in the treatment of lower calyx stones using flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy（FURL）combined with a distally bendable negative pressure suction sheath.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and anatomical parameters of 312 patients with lower calyx stones or combined lower calyx stones admitted to the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from September 2022 to December 2023，all of whom were treated with FURL combined with a distally bendable negative pressure suction sheath. Stone clearance was defined as no residual stones or residual stones with a diameter of ≤3 mm without any symptoms. Patients were divided into the clearance group（265 cases，84.90%）and the non-clearance group（47 cases，15.10%）. There were no significant differences in gender（male/female：173/92 cases vs. 29/18 cases），age［（44.69 ± 13.14）years vs.（42.60 ± 10.93）years］，degree of hydronephrosis（no hydronephrosis/mild hydronephrosis/moderate to severe hydronephrosis：122/85/58 cases vs. 21/12/14 cases），side of lower calyx stones（left/right：157/108 cases vs. 31/16 cases），maximum diameter of stones（MDS）［（19.23 ± 6.41）mm vs.（17.77 ± 6.18）mm］，and CT value of stones［（993.46 ± 249.12）Hu vs.（1013.43 ± 300.90）Hu］between the two groups（ P > 0.05），indicating comparability between groups. There was no significant difference in the distance from the midpoint of the lower lip of the renal pelvis to the ureter at the lowest plane of the lower calyx（K-A line）between the clearance and non-clearance groups［（26.16 ± 5.18）mm vs.（25.70 ± 8.66）mm， P > 0.05］. However，significant differences were observed in the infundibulopelvic angle（IPA）［（53.97 ± 15.72）° vs.（37.43 ± 15.39）°］，infundibular length（IL）［（27.26 ± 5.11）mm vs.（33.04 ± 7.38）mm］，infundibular width（IW）［（8.27 ± 2.82）mm vs.（7.09 ± 3.20）mm］，caliceal pelvic height（CPH）［（19.96 ± 4.63）mm vs.（30.32 ± 7.56）mm］，ureter-lower calyx distance（ULD）［（23.00 ± 5.59）mm vs.（18.78 ± 6.31）mm］，CPH/IL ratio［（0.73 ± 0.11）vs.（0.92 ± 0.09）］，and curvature of the lower calyx of the renal pelvis［（0.06 ± 0.01）mm -1 vs.（0.08 ± 0.03）mm -1］between the two groups（ P <0.05）. Univariate and logistic multivariate regression analyses were used to identify the independent risk factors affecting the postoperative SFR of FURL-treated lower calyx stones and to assess the value of CPH/IL for SFR in the treatment of lower calyx stones using FURL combined with a distally bendable negative pressure suction sheath. A logistic multivariate regression model and a corresponding nomogram were constructed，and the predictive ability of the model for SFR was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic（ROC）curve. The calibration curve and the Hosmer -Lemeshow test were used to assess the consistency and accuracy of the model. The clinical utility of the model was evaluated using decision curve analysis（DCA）. Results:Univariate analysis revealed that seven anatomical parameters differed significantly between the clearance and non-clearance groups（all P < 0.05）：infundibulopelvic angle（IPA， OR = 0.27，95% CI 0.17-0.42， P < 0.01），infundibular length（IL， OR = 2.52，95% CI 1.83-3.47， P < 0.01），infundibular width（IW， OR = 0.64，95% CI 0.45-0.90， P = 0.011），caliceal pelvic height（CPH， OR = 5.78，95% CI 3.67-9.10， P < 0.01），ureter-lower calyx distance（ULD， OR = 0.43，95% CI 0.30-0.63， P < 0.01），CPH/IL ratio（ OR = 13.62，95% CI 6.86-27.03， P < 0.01），and curvature of the lower calyx of the renal pelvis（ O = 3.15，95% CI 2.08-4.78， P < 0.01）. Multivariate logistic regression further identified CPH/IL（ OR = 9.87，95% CI 4.92-19.79， P < 0.01），IPA（ OR = 0.41，95% CI 0.23-0.71， P = 0.001），and ULD（ OR = 0.50，95% CI 0.29-0.87， P = 0.014）as independent risk factors influencing the stone-free rate after flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy combined with a distally bendable negative-pressure suction sheath. The area under the ROC curve（AUC）of the univariate regression model showed that for IPA，the AUC was 0.788（95% CI 0.711-0.864）；for IL，it was 0.731（95% CI 0.643-0.819）；for ULD，it was 0.677（95% CI 0.586-0.767）；for CPH，it was 0.867（95% CI 0.804-0.929）；for IW，it was 0.628（95% CI 0.535-0.721）；for CPH/IL，it was 0.906（95% CI 0.850-0.961）with an optimal cutoff value of 0.882，corresponding to a sensitivity of 83.02% and a specificity of 92.08%；and for curvature of the lower calyx of the renal pelvis，it was 0.744（95% CI 0.662-0.827）. The AUC of the multivariate regression model was 0.929（95% CI 0.884-0.974）with an optimal cutoff value of 0.364，corresponding to a sensitivity of 82.98% and a specificity of 95.09%. Calibration curves demonstrated close agreement between the predicted and actual stone-free rates after FURL（C-index = 0.921）. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test indicated no significant discrepancy between predicted and observed probabilities（ P = 0.135，>0.05）. Decision-curve analysis further revealed that basing clinical decisions on the model ，s predicted probability yields a higher net clinical benefit than either withholding FURL for all patients or treating all patients regardless of risk，and it also outperforms strategies guided by any single independent predictor alone. Conclusions:IPA，IL，IW，CPH，ULD，CPH/IL ratio，and curvature of the lower calyx of the renal pelvis can all predict the postoperative SFR of FURL combined with a distally bendable negative pressure suction sheath for the treatment of lower calyx stones to varying degrees. Among them，CPH/IL has the highest predictive value. When CPH/IL >0.88，it may be difficult to use FURL to treat lower calyx stones.

The clinical data of 10 patients with pathologically confirmed primary hepatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PHNENs) were retrospectively analyzed. The cohort included 8 males and 2 females, with a median age of 63 years. None presented with carcinoid syndrome. Three cases were detected incidentally during health check-ups, 2 presented with painless jaundice, and 5 reported abdominal distension or pain (1 with concurrent jaundice). Elevated tumor markers included carbohydrate antigen 19-9 in 4 cases, alpha-fetoprotein in 2 cases, and neuron-specific enolase in 1 case. All patients underwent surgical resection, including hepatectomy and hilar cholangiocarcinoma resection, combining with resection and reconstruction of right hepatic artery, resection of liver metastases and pancreaticoduodenectomy according to the extent of tumor invasion.Preoperative imaging failed to diagnose neuroendocrine neoplasms in all cases. Final pathological diagnoses were neuroendocrine tumor (NET) G2 in 5 cases, NET G3 in 1 case, and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) in 4 cases. During the follow-up, 4 patients died and 6 survived. The study demonstrates that PHNENs lack specific clinical or imaging features, and the diagnosis relies on pathological examination after excluding metastatic disease. Radical resection remains the primary treatment, with prognosis varying significantly by tumor grade.

Objective:To investigate and compare the clinical outcomes of the arterial pre-occlusion technique(APOT) and the traditional technique in the surgery of locally advanced pancreatic cancer with arterial involvement after conversion therapy.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 145 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer with arterial involvement admitted to the Department of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery of the First Hospital Affiliated to Naval Medical University,from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients completed neoadjuvant therapy for tumors, and the feasibility of radical surgical treatment was determined by a multidisciplinary collaborative team evaluation before surgery. According to whether the intraoperative artery was pre-occluded, 145 patients were divided into two groups, including 28 cases in the APOT group(16 males, 12 females, aged (59.0±9.4) years), and 117 cases in the routine surgery group(76 males, 41 females, aged (55.1±8.2) years). To ensure comparability of baseline data between the APOT group and the routine surgery group, a 1∶2 match was performed using the propensity score matching method, and the caliper value was 0.006 45. The t-test,the Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher′s exact test were used to compare the data between the two groups,respectively. Results:After matching the propensity score,there were 28 cases in the APOT group and 56 cases in the routine surgery group. There were no significant differences in gender,age,preoperative comorbidities,preoperative body mass index,surgical approaches,chemotherapy regimen,stereotactic body radiation therapy ratio,tumor markers,and type of invaded artery between the two groups (all P>0.05).The arterial occlusion time M(IQR) in the APOT group was 7.0(3.8)minutes(range:3 to 15 minutes),and no ischemic manifestations were observed in the distal target organs that blocked blood vessels after surgery. The operation time was (170.3±57.7)minutes in the APOT group and (235.0±80.2)minutes in the routine surgery group,and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.800, P<0.01). The APOT group also experienced less intraoperative blood loss(650(588)ml vs. 800(600)ml; U=1 026.500, P=0.021). No significant differences were found between the groups in combined vein resection and reconstruction,celiac trunk resection,early postoperative complications, readmission rates at 30 days,and postoperative length of stay(all P>0.05). Extra-arterial dissection was performed in all patients,with arterial resection and reconstruction in 3 cases: 2 cases in the APOT group(1 case involving the superior mesenteric artery and 1 case involving the common hepatic artery) and 1 case in the routine group(involving the common hepatic artery). Postoperative abdominal bleeding occurred in 4 cases,with 3 cases in the routine group,1 case in the routine group. The R0 resection rate was 85.7%(24/28) in the APOT group and 80.4%(45/56) in the routine group,without significant differences between the groups( P=0.763). The median overall survival time was 27.6 months for the APOT group and 22.5 months for the routine group,while the median disease-free survival was 11.7 months and 16.8 months,respectively,with no significant differences between the two groups( P=0.532, P=0.927). Conclusion:The arterial pre-occlusion technique can be used for extra-arterial dissection in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer involving the arteries,reducing surgery time and intraoperative blood loss.

Objective:To study the risk factors of unplanned reoperation within 30 days after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:The clinical data of 207 patients who underwent LPD in the Lihuili Hospital Affiliated to Ningbo University from February 2017 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were enrolled 118 males and 89 females, aged (65.1±11.1) years old. Patients were divided into the reoperation group ( n=15) and non-reoperation group ( n=192) based on whether unplanned reoperation was performed within 30 days after LPD. The risk factors of unplanned reoperation were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results:The rate of unplanned reoperation within 30 days after LPD was 7.2%(15/207). The unplanned reoperation group exhibited a higher incidence of complications 80% (12/15), mortality 13.3% (2/15), and extended hospital stay (32.9±20.1)d compared to the non-reoperation group, which incidences of complications, mortality and extended hospital stay were 40.1% (77/192)( χ2=9.04, P=0.003), 0.5%(1/192)( χ2=8.28, P=0.004), and (17.9±8.6)d ( t=-2.79, P=0.014), respectively. Unplanned reoperation was associated with diabetes, intraoperative bleeding >130 ml, preoperative serum prealbumin <0.15 g/L, pancreatic texture and pancreatic duct diameter (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified diabetes ( OR=4.991, 95% CI: 1.431-17.415), preoperative serum prealbumin <0.15 g/L ( OR=4.06, 95% CI: 1.178-14.043), soft pancreatic texture ( OR=3.900, 95% CI: 1.146-13.272) and pancreatic duct diameter ≤3 mm ( OR=3.449, 95% CI: 1.009-11.789) as independent risk factors for unplanned reoperation within 30 days. Conclusion:Preoperative diabetes, preoperative serum prealbumin levels <0.15 g/L, soft pancreatic texture and pancreatic duct diameter ≤3 mm were independent risk factors for unplanned reoperation within 30 days after LPD.

Dysimmunity plays a key role in diabetes, especially type 1 diabetes mellitus. Islet-specific autoantibodies (ISAs) have been used as diagnostic markers for different phenotypic classifications of diabetes. This study was aimed to explore the relationships between ISA titers and the clinical characteristics of diabetic patients.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the expression of signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family 6 (SLAMF6) on peripheral blood CD8 +T cells and perforin and granzyme B and the clinical significance in patients with newly diagnosed severe aplastic anemia(SAA). Methods:The indicators of blood routine and bone marrow and peripheral blood samples of 32 newly diagnosed SAA patients admitted to Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2016 to June 2019 were collected for retrospective analysis. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B on samples CD8 +T cell before therapy and 6 months after therapy (11 cases received transplantation, 21 cases received immunosuppressive therapy [IST]). Spearman correlation analysis was performed to determine the association between clinical indicators and laboratory test results. The expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B was also detected in 10 healthy people (normal group) and 13 myelodysplastic syndromes/paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (MDS/PNH) patients (MDS/PNH group). Results:(1) At diagnosis: the expression of SLAMF6 was significantly lower in the SAA group than that in the normal group and the MDS/PNH group ([56.40±6.37]% vs [84.34±5.81]% and [82.24±4.98]% (both P<0.001]). The expression of perforin was significantly higher in the SAA group (32.73±8.46) than that in the normal control group (23.75%±5.10%), and the MDS/PNH group (26.12%±5.53%) (both P<0.05). The expression of granzyme B was also significantly higher in the SAA group (36.23%±7.94%) than that in the normal control group (21.67%±5.05%) and the MDS/PNH group (21.79%±5.10%) (both P<0.001). The expression of SLAMF6 was positively correlated with the hemoglobin ( r=0.804), and reticulocyte absolute values ( r=0.656) in peripheral blood, percentage of granulocytes ( r=0.643) and erythrocytes ( r=0.622) in bone marrow of SAA patients (all P<0.05). Expression of SLAMF6 was negatively correlated with perforin ( r=-0.792) and granzyme B ( r=-0.908) on CD8 +T cells in patients with SAA (both P<0.001). (2) After treatment: the expression of SLAMF6 in peripheral blood CD8 +T cells of 30 surviving patients was higher than pre-treatment ([79.19±12.69]% vs [56.40±6.37]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than pre-treatment level (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 11 transplanted patients was higher than before transplantation ([86.54±3.75]% vs [56.40±7.35]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than before transplantation (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 12 IST-respond patients was higher than that before treatment, while the perforin and granzyme B levels were lower than pre-treatment (all P<0.05). The post-treatment expressions of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B were similar as before treatment levels in 7 IST-unrespond patients (all P>0.05). Conclusion:SLAMF6 is significantly down-regulated on CD8 +T cells in newly diagnosed SAA, negatively correlated with the effective factors of CD8 +T cells, which might participate in the immune regulatory of CD8 +T cells as a negative regulatory factor in patients with SAA. The SLAMF6 is significantly up-regulated after hematopoietic recovery, while there is no significant change in treatment-unrespond patients, which could thus serve as an useful diagnostic and therapeutic index of patients with SAA.
