Objective: To investigate the efficacy，safety and feasibility of regional lymph node dissection in laparoscopic radical surgery for bladder cancer under the guidance of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging. Methods: A total of 30 patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (T2/T3NxM0) who volunteered to enter the clinical trial were randomly divided into the indocyanine green imaging guided laparoscopic regional lymph node dissection group (n=15) and the standard pelvic lymph node dissection group (n=15).The number of positive lymph nodes，operation time，intraoperative bleeding volume，incidence of lymph leakage，and tumor recurrence and metastasis rate 2-year after surgery were collected. Results: The number of positive lymph nodes was (4.20±1.66) and (4.60±1.72) respectively in the indocyanine green and standard groups，with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).There were no statistically significant difference in the tumor recurrence and metastasis rates 2-year after surgery between the two groups (P>0.05).However，the indocyanine green group had shorter operation time，less intraoperative bleeding volume，and lower incidence of lymphatic leakage than the standard group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic lymph node dissection has comparable clinical efficacy to standard lymph node dissection，but with fewer complications.

Objective A sterile golden hamster model was established by cesarean section purification.Methods SPF-grade donor female golden hamsters were selected,and males and females were mated 1∶1 and separated after mating.The cage time of the surrogate mothers was 1 week earlier than that of the donor mothers.Parturient golden hamsters underwent hysterectomy on a sterilized workbench,and the uteruses were transferred into isolation kits and stripped.To obtain sterile milk for milk replacement,sterile ICR mice and sterile SD rats were used.After successful separation,the hamsters were transferred to isolation kits to prepare for feeding.The sterility status of the feeding isolation kits was tested monthly.Results Three caesarean sections were performed,but the first and second lactations failed.The third milk replacement was successful,and 18 young hamsters were obtained with survival rates of 88%and 66%after weaning.All hamsters were quality tested by GB/T 14926.41-2001.Conclusions Using a cesarean section purification technique and sterile ICR mice and SD rats for microbial-free milk replacement,a sterile golden hamster model was obtained.

Objective:To analyze the prognostic outcomes of 1 147 patients who underwent liver transplantation at Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital and to summarize measures to enhance the efficacy of liver transplantation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and follow-up data of 1 147 liver transplant patients at Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital.Results:The overall postoperative 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates for the 1 147 liver transplant patients were 87.20%, 73.40%, and 65.60%, respectively. The survival rates for benign disease liver transplant recipients were 88.01%, 84.98%, and 81.39% at 1, 3, and 5 years post-transplant, respectively, compared to recipients transplanted for malignancies of 78.11%, 64.41%, and 60.06% (all P<0.001). Among the mid vs more recent period, patients' 1-year and 3-year postoperative survival rates were 84.20%, 70.80% vs 90.50%, 71.70%, respectively,significantly in favor of recently enrolled patients ( P=0.022). In the complex surgery group, patients' 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 82.70%, 65.50%, 56.70%, while in less complicated group, it was 89.00%, 76.50%, 69.20% ( P<0.001). The primary causes of death for benign disease recipients were multi-organ failure (4.1%), while in recipients with malignant disease primary cause of death was tumor recurrence (23.7%). Postoperative complications included primary graft dysfunction, delayed graft function recovery, portal vein thrombosis, hepatic artery thrombosis, biliary stricture, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, and graft-versus-host disease, with occurrence rates of 1.05%, 6.89%, 1.92%, 0.44%, 2.00%, 0.61%, and 0.44%, respectively. Conclusions:With the continuous improvement in surgical techniques and perioperative care levels, the 3-year survival rate of recipients at our center has increased. Malignant diseases and complex liver transplantation remain crucial factors affecting recipient prognosis, highlighting the need to further enhance comprehensive treatment capabilities for patients with malignant diseases and complex surgeries.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of dimethyl fumarate(DMF)on doxorubicin(DOX)-induced cardiac injury in mice and its possible mechanism.Methods Eighteen male C57BL/6J mice were selected and randomly divided into control group,model group and treatment group,with 6mice in each group.In the model group,DOX(2.5mg/kg)was injected intraperitoneally for two weeks,once every three days,with a total of 15mg/kg;the control group was given equal proportion of normal saline.The experi-mental group was also treated with DOX for two weeks,and was given DMF(25mg/kg)once a day for consecutive seven days after the first week.The cardiac function of mice was monitored at0,3,7 and 14 days.The atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP)and brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)mRNA expression of myocardial were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR),and plasma creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB)and lactic acid dehydrogenase(LDH)levels were measured by ELISA(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe myocardial structure.Malondialdehyde(MDA),reduced glutathione(GSH),and oxidized glutathione(GSSG)content and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity were measured;Western blot was used to detect the expression of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2(Nrf2),heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),a key protein of ferroptosis.Results In the model group,the heart function of mice continued to decline and reached the lowest level at 14days,left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and left ventricular short-axis shortening rate(LVFS)were significantly lower than those in control group.Body weight and heart weight-to-tibia length ratio were lower than those of control group,while the mRNA expression of cardiac ANP and BNP was increased,the plasma CK-MB and LDH were increased,accompanied by cardiomyocyte edema,muscle fiber rupture and inflammatory infiltration.However,the cardiac dysfunction of mice in the treatment group was improved,and the myocardial damage and structural destruction were less severe.In addition,MDA and GSSG contents in the model group were significantly higher than those in the control group,GSH level and SOD activity were lower than those in the control group,and the expressions of Nrf2,HO-1 and GPx4 were decreased.Compared with the model group,the cardiac oxidative stress in the treatment group was improved,and the expressions of Nrf2,HO-1 and GPx4 were also up-regulated.Conclusion DMF inhibits fer-roptosis and alleviates DOX-induced cardiac oxidative stress through upregulation of Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway,thus improving cardi-ac damage.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum albumin, urea nitrogen and Fazekas scores and cognitive function scores in patients with mild and medium ischemic stroke.Methods:Clinical data of 160 patients with acute ischemic stroke with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)≤7 scores admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College from June 2021 to April 2023 were selected for a cross-sectional study. According to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score, they were divided into normal cognitive group (28 cases) (MoCA≥26 scores), mild to moderate cognitive impairment group (74 cases) (MoCA 15-<26 scores), and severe cognitive impairment group (58 cases) (MoCA<15 scores). Demographic characteristics, serological indicators and imaging data of patients were collected, and the correlation between serum albumin, urea nitrogen and Fazekas scores and the total score of MoCA and the scores of each cognitive domain was analyzed. One-way ANOVA was used for comparison between the normal distribution and homogeneous variance data sets, LSD analysis was used for pairwise comparison, Kruskal-Wallis H test was used between the skew distribution or heterogeneous variance data sets. Bonferroni correction analysis was used for pairwise comparison. Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method was used after the comparison between the count data sets. Spearman Spearman correlation analysis was performed on serum albumin, urea nitrogen and Fazekas scores with MoCA scores and cognitive domain scores. Multivariate ordered Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of cognitive function in acute stage of mild and medium ischemic stroke patients. Results:The incidence of cognitive impairment in patients with acute mild and medium ischemic stroke was 82.50% (132/160). Comparison of age ((56.71±7.35), (60.32±10.20), (66.40±11.88) years old), sex (male/female: (23/5, 58/16, 33/25)), the proportion of education level above high school (25.0%(7/28), 16.2%(12/74), 6.9%(4/58)), hemoglobin ((149.26±14.91), (144.85±16.85), (137.63±17.22) g/L), albumin (39.5 (37.0, 41.2), 38.6(35.6, 40.8), 37.4 (34.5, 39.8) g/L), urea nitrogen (5.30 (4.00, 6.60), 4.81 (4.00, 6.32), 5.86 (4.55, 6.97) mmol/L), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) score (5.0 (2.0, 10.0), 7.5 (5.0, 11.0), 10.0 (6.0, 14.3) scores),Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMA) score (5.5 (3.0, 12.5), 7.0 (4.0, 11.0), 9.5 (5.0, 14.0) scores), and Fazekas score (2.00 (1.25, 3.00), 2.00 (1.00, 4.00), 3.00 (2.00, 5.00) scores) among cognitive normal group, mild to moderate cognitive impairment group, and severe cognitive impairment group of patients, the difference were statistically significant (the statistical values were F=9.68, χ 2=9.29, χ 2=30.77, F=5.31, H=7.06, H=6.71, H=12.37, H=8.91, and H=10.96, respectively;the P values were <0.001, 0.010, <0.001, 0.006, 0.029, 0.035, 0.002, 0.012, and 0.004, respectively ). The total score of MoCA was negatively correlated with Fazekas score and serum urea nitrogen, but positively correlated with serum albumin ( r s values were -0.250, -0.168, and 0.212, respectively; P values were 0.001, 0.036, and 0.009, respectively). Serum albumin was positively correlated with scores in visual space and execution, naming, attention and orientation, serum urea nitrogen was negatively correlated with scores in language and orientation, and Fazekas score was negatively correlated with scores in visual space and execution, orientation, attention and language ( r s values were 0.291, 0.196, 0.191, 0.209, -0.205, -0.180, -0.248, -0.193, -0.188, and -0.183, respectively; P values were <0.001, 0.017, 0.020, 0.011, 0.012, 0.027, 0.002, 0.016, 0.020, and 0.023, respectively). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that low albumin ( OR=0.884, 95% CI: 0.813-0.963, P=0.005) and high urea nitrogen ( OR=1.195, 95% CI: 1.003-1.425, P=0.047) and high Fazekas scores ( OR=1.401, 95% CI: 1.132-1.733, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for cognitive function, while high education level was a protective factor ( OR=0.062, 95% CI: 0.019-0.202, P<0.001). Conclusion:The incidence of acute cognitive impairment is high in patients with mild and medium ischemic stroke. Higher education level is a protective factor for cognitive function. Low albumin, high urea nitrogen and high Fazekas score are independent risk factors for cognitive function.

Objectives:This study aims to investigate the impact of different Low-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)levels on progression of intermediate coronary stenosis,and the associated risk factors leading to the progression of such lesions. Methods:Data were collected on 219 consecutive patients admitted at the Fuwai Central China Vascular Hospital from January 2020 to February 2021,underwent angiographic examinations and diagnosed with intermediate coronary stenosis,with at least one follow-up angiography after 11 months.Offline quantitative flow ratio(QFR)analysis was performed on these cases.Patients were divided into two groups:LDL-C controlled group(LDL-C<1.8 mmol/L,148 patients with 191 vessels)and LDL-C uncontrolled group(LDL-C≥1.8 mmol/L,71 patients with 98 vessels).Coronary artery QFR and anatomical indicators such as minimal lumen diameter,minimal lumen area,percentage diameter stenosis,percentage area stenosis were compared within and between the groups.Further analysis was performed to identify influencing factors leading to changes in coronary physiological parameters derived from QFR. Results:Within the LDL-C controlled group,there was no significant difference in the QFR values of the vessels compared to baseline(P>0.05),whereas in the LDL-C uncontrolled group(P<0.05),a notable decline in QFR was observed.Patients in the LDL-C controlled group had lower rates of maximum diameter and area stenosis and higher minimum lumen diameter and area(all P<0.05).Through multifactorial Logistic regression analysis,it was found that a body mass index＞28 kg/m2,LDL-C≥1.8 mmol/L,and a history of myocardial infarction were independent risk factors leading to the decline in QFR(all P<0.05). Conclusions:It was found that patients in the LDL-C controlled group had higher coronary artery QFR,minimum lumen diameter and area,lower rates of maximum diameter and area stenosis.

Background Suicidal ideation serves as a sensitive predictive indicator for non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)behavior,and NSSI behavior brings profound effects to both mental and physical health of senior high school students.Existing studies have made exploration on the relationship among insomnia,anxiety and NSSI behavior in the general population,but the internal mechanism of NSSI behavior in senior high school students with suicidal ideation requires further study.Objective To explore the pathway of anxiety between insomnia and NSSI behavior in senior high school students,so as to provide references for the intervention on NSSI behavior in such demographic.Methods From December 10 to 15,2021,cluster sampling was adopted to select 2 572 senior high school students across three senior high schools in Hubei Province as the research objects.Assessment was conducted by using Insomnia Severity Index(ISI),Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item(GAD-7)and Adolescents Self-Harm Scale.Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation among scores of scales finished by senior high school students with suicidal ideation.Model 4 from the SPSS 20.0 Process 4.2 was employed to test the mediating path of anxiety between insomnia and NSSI behavior.Results A total of 2 421 valid questionnaires(94.13%)were recovered,which revealed 554 cases(22.88%)with suicidal ideation and 408 cases(16.85%)with NSSI behavior.The scores of ISI,GAD-7 and Adolescents Self-Harm Scale of senior high school students with suicidal ideation were higher than those of students without suicidal ideation(Z=17.124,20.611,21.314,P<0.01).As correlation analysis showed,the ISI score of senior high school students with suicidal ideation was positively correlated with scores of GAD-7 and Adolescents Self-Harm Scale(r=0.646,0.354,P<0.01),and GAD-7 score was positively correlated with the score of Adolescents Self-Harm Scale(r=0.375,P<0.01).Among senior high school students with suicide ideation,anxiety acted in a mediating role between insomnia and NSSI behavior,with effect value of 0.111(95%CI:0.053～0.185),accounting for 53.88%of the total effect.Conclusion Insomnia of senior high school students with suicidal ideation can not only directly affect NSSI behavior,but also indirectly affect NSSI behavior through anxiety.

Objective To investigate the efficacy,safety and feasibility of laparoscopic lymph node dissection guided by indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence imaging.Methods A total of 30 patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer(MIBC,T2/T3NxM0)who were admitled to the Cangzhou People's Hospital during Mar.2018 and Jun.2022 were included.The lymph nodes were cleared with ICG fluorescence imaging first,and then the remaining lymph nodes were cleared according to the standard pelvic lymph node range.The lymph node positive rate of ICG fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic lymph node precise dissection and standard pelvic lymph node dissection was analyzed by self-comparison.Results ICG fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic lymph node precise dissection needed shorter operation time than standard pelvic lymph node dissection[(21.80±6.80)min vs.(47.70±10.73)min,P＜0.05].There was no significant difference in the lymph node positive rate between the two approaches[(11.34±9.06)％vs.(12.36±9.43)％,P＞0.05],but the former approach caused less damage on blood vessels and nerves.Conclusion Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic lymph node dissection has comparable efficacy to standard pelvic lymph node dissection,which can reduce ineffective lymph node dissection,shorten the operation time,and reduce the risk of complications.

Objective:In this study, we aimed to compare the short-term safety of two digestive tract reconstruction techniques, laparoscopic total abdominal overlap anastomosis and laparoscopic-assisted end-to-side anastomosis, following radical resection of Siewert Type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed relevant clinical data of 139 patients who had undergone radical surgery for Siewert Type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. These included 89 patients treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from November 2021 to July 2023, 36 patients treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from December 2020 to June 2021, and 14 patients treated at the Yuncheng Central Hospital in Shanxi Province from September 2021 to November 2022. The group consisted of 107 men (77.0%) and 32 women (23.0%) of mean age 62.5±9.3 years. Forty-eight patients underwent laparoscopic total abdominal overlap anastomosis (overlap group), and 91 laparoscopic-assisted end-to-side anastomosis (end-to-side group). Clinical data, surgical information, pathological findings, postoperative recovery, and related complications were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences in general clinical data between the overlap and end-to-side anastomosis groups (all P>0.05), indicating comparability. There was no significant difference in operation time (267.2±60.1 minutes vs. 262.8±70.6 minutes, t=0.370, P=0.712). However, the intraoperative blood loss in the overlap group (100 [50, 100] mL) was significantly lower compared to the end-to-side group (100[50, 175] mL, Z=2.776, P=0.005). Compared to the end-to-side group, longer distances between the tumor and distal resection margin proximal(1.7±1.0 cm vs. 1.3±0.9 cm, t=2.487, P=0.014) and the tumor and distal resection margin (9.5±2.9 cm vs. 7.9±3.5 cm, t=2.667, P=0.009) were achieved in the overlap group. Compared with the end-to-side group, the overlap group achieved significantly earlier postoperative ambulation (1.0 [1.0, 2.0] days vs. 2.0 [1.0, 3.0] days, Z=3.117, P=0.002), earlier time to first drink (4.7±2.6 days vs. 6.2±3.0 days, t=2.851, P=0.005), and earlier time to first meal (6.0±2.7 days vs. 7.1±3.0 days, t=2.170, P=0.032). However, the hospitalization costs were higher in the overlap group (113, 105.5±37, 766.3) yuan vs. (97, 250.2±27, 746.9) yuan; this difference is significant ( t=2.818, P=0.006). There were no significant differences between the two groups in postoperative hospital stay, total number of lymph nodes cleared, or time to first postoperative flatus (all P>0.05). The incidence of surgery-related complications was 22.9%(11/48) in the overlap group and 19.8% (18/91) in the end-to-side group; this difference is not significant (χ2=0.187, P=0.831). Further comparison of complications using the Clavien-Dindo classification also showed no significant differences ( Z=0.406, P=0.685). Conclusions:Both laparoscopic total abdominal overlap anastomosis and laparoscopic-assisted end-to-side anastomosis are feasible for radical surgery for Siewert Type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. Laparoscopic total abdominal overlap anastomosis achieves longer proximal and distal resection margins and better postoperative recovery; however, end-to-side anastomosis is more cost-effective.
