Objective Jejunal interposition is an important option for restoring gastrointestinal continuity in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable for reconstruction due to previous gastrectomy, tumor involvement, failed gastric conduit, or other constraints. Although the jejunum offers a caliber similar to the esophagus, a rich blood supply, and preserved peristaltic function, anatomical variations in mesenteric length and vascular arcades render long-segment and high-level reconstruction susceptible to excessive tension, mesenteric torsion, venous congestion, and inadequate distal perfusion. This consensus aims to provide standardized recommendations for the application of jejunal interposition in this specific patient population. Methods This consensus was developed in accordance with the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development and Chinese national guideline development standards, with reference to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Ⅱ(AGREE Ⅱ), Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT), and Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) checklists. The project was registered on the international practice guidelines registry platform (PREPARE-2026CN1384). The working group systematically searched Chinese and English evidence addressing 12 clinical questions. Evidence was graded using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) 2009 system, with structured appraisal of risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision. Recommendations were formulated through two rounds of Delphi surveys and a face-to-face consensus meeting, with an agreement threshold of ≥75%. Results The consensus generated 12 recommendations covering indications, selection between jejunum and colon, preoperative assessment, surgical approach and reconstruction route, pedicled jejunal interposition (PJI), supercharged pedicled jejunal interposition (SPJ), indocyanine green (ICG) perfusion assessment, perioperative nutrition, management of anastomotic leakage, long-term follow-up, and special treatment scenarios. Given that the available direct evidence is predominantly derived from single-center retrospective cohorts and case series, recommendations extrapolated from general esophagectomy or other gastrointestinal surgical evidence are deliberately phrased with caution. Conclusion Jejunal interposition is a safe and effective approach for digestive tract reconstruction in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable. This consensus emphasizes that clinical decision-making should be individualized based on the patient's prior treatment history, reconstruction height, vascular anatomy, technical availability, and institutional experience in the Chinese context.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Fangxiang Wentong Powder(composed of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Chuanxiong Rhizoma,Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma,Piper Longum,and Corydalis Rhizoma)acupoint application combined with Kuanxiong Aerosol in treating female patients with coronary slow flow(CSF)associated angina.Methods After sample size estimation,119 female inpatients diagnosed as CSF associated angina and differentiated as chest-qi obstruction with yang deficiency and cold accumulation syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)were collected from the cardiovascular departments of the Third People's Hospital of Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine(Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine),Zhanjiang First Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital,and Longhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 2023 to March 2024.Using a table of random numbers,the patients were divided into a treatment group(84 cases)and a control group(35 cases)in a ratio of 5∶2.The control group was treated with Isosorbide Monomitrate Sustained-Release Capsules,while the treatment group was treated with application of Fangxiang Wentong Powder on acupoints of Danzhong(CV17),Gaohuang(BL43),and Xinshu(BL15),together with sublingual administration of Kuanxiong Aerosol.The treatment course for both groups covered 7 days.Before and after treatment,the changes in the simplified Seattle Angina Questionnaire(SAQ-7)scores,Chinese Quality of Life Questionnaire for Cardiovascular Patients(CQQC)scores,6-minute walking distance(6MWD),serum C-reactive protein(CRP)level,and white blood cell-to-mean platelet volume ratio(WMR)were observed.The TCM symptom efficacy was compared between the two groups,and adverse reactions were monitored.Results(1)There were 8 patients withdrew in the treatment group for failing in completing the questionnaires,and 2 patients withdrew in the control group for suffering headaches after taking nitrates.Eventually,109 patients completed the trial,including 76 in the treatment group and 33 in the control group.(2)After 7 days of treatment,the total effective rate for TCM symptom efficacy in the treatment group was 86.84%(66/76),and that in the control group was 72.73%(24/33).The intergroup comparison(tested by the chi-square test)showed that the TCM symptom efficacy in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group.(3)After treatment,both groups showed improvements in the scores of activity limitation and angina frequency items of SAQ-7,and the treatment group also showed improvements in the scores of subjective satisfaction item of SAQ-7(P＜0.05).The treatment group's improvements in the scores of activity limitation,angina frequency,and subjective satisfaction items of SAQ-7 were significantly superior to those of the control group(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the CQQC scores in the treatment group was significantly improved(P＜0.05),while no significant improvement was observed in the control group(P＞0.05).The improvement of CQQC scores in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(5)After treatment,both groups showed improvements in 6MWD(P＜0.05),and the improvement in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(6)After treatment,the serum levels of inflammatory indicators of CRP and WMR in the treatment group were significantly improved(P＜0.05),while no significant improvements were presented in the control group(P＞0.05).The improvements in serum CRP level and WMR value in the treatment group were significantly superior to those in the control group(P＜0.05).(7)No adverse reactions were found in the treatment group,indicating high safety.Conclusion Fangxiang Wentong Powder acupoint application combined with Kuanxiong Aerosol is more effective than Isosorbide Monomitrate Sustained-Release Capsules,improving exercise tolerance,decreasing inflammatory factor levels,and improving the quality of life to some extent during the treatment of female patients with CSF.

Objective To investigate the changes in coagulation system in acute decompensated cirrhosis(ADC)patients with or without sepsis and the association of these changes with short-term prognosis.Methods A prospective study was conducted among 116 ADC patients who were hospitalized in Nanfang Hospital from January 2021 to July 2023,among whom there were 86 patients with sepsis and 30 patients without sepsis,and 54 patients with sepsis alone who had no chronic liver disease were enrolled as control group.Thromboelastography(TEG)and other conventional coagulation parameters were used to comprehensively evaluate the coagulation function of patients.The data including TEG results and short-term prognosis were collected,and a correlation analysis was performed.The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups,and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups;the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups.The Spearman correlation coefficient was calculated to investigate the correlation between different variables.The Logistic regression model was used to perform the univariate and multivariate analyses.Results For the ADC patients with sepsis,the lungs and bloodstream were the main infection sites,and bacteria were the main pathogenic microorganism.TEG results showed that compared with the patients with sepsis alone,the patients with ADC and sepsis had a significant reduction in median maximum amplitude(MA),a significant increase in coagulation time(K time),and a significant reduction in α angle(all P<0.05);the patients with ADC and sepsis had a significantly longer reaction time(R time)than those with ADC alone(P=0.02),and the patients with sepsis alone had a significantly longer R time than those with ADC and sepsis(P=0.04).There was no correlation between MA and platelet count in the patients with ADC and sepsis(r=-0.133,P=0.057),while there was a significant correlation between MA and platelet count in the patients with sepsis alone(r=0.595,P=0.001).SOFA score was negatively correlated with MA in sepsis patients with or without ADC(r=-0.503 and-0.561,both P<0.001),and for the patients with ADC and sepsis,R time,K time,and α angle were weakly correlated with SOFA score and had a relatively strong correlation with APTT(all P<0.05).The patients with ADC alone all survived within 90 days,and compared with the death group,the patients with sepsis alone who survived had significantly higher values of MA and α angle(all P<0.05);there was a significant difference in α angle on day 90 between the survival group and the death group,no matter whether the patients were comorbid with ADC or not(both P<0.01),while for the patients with ADC and sepsis,there was no significant difference in MA value on day 90 between the survival group and the death group(P>0.05).Conclusion For ADC patients comorbid with sepsis,coagulation function assessment and monitoring should be taken seriously in clinical practice,and TEG parameters and SOFA score should be monitored when necessary to develop individualized treatment regimens.

Objective To investigate the effects of inclined axial compressive force and flexion moment on the anterior and posterior shear stiffness of the lumbosacral segment.Methods Six fresh-frozen human cadaveric L5-S1 segments were tested under intact and two progressively impaired structural conditions:intact,a 4-mm bilateral facet joint gap,and anterior discectomy with nucleus pulposus removal plus circumferential release of the inner annular fibers(disc injury).A 300 N axial compressive force was applied either vertically downward or with a 10° or 20° anterior inclination through the disc's shear center.Anterior(0 N to 250 N)and posterior(-50 N to 0 N)shear tests were conducted using a material testing machine.These tests were repeated under a 5 N-m flexion moment.The relative motion between L5 and Si was measured using a three-dimensional motion capture system.Results In the intact state,the inclination of the axial compressive force did not significantly alter anterior or posterior shear stiffness.However,the application of a flexion moment increased anterior shear stiffness by 49.3％.Progressive structural damage resulted in incremental increases in anteroposterior shear translation and corresponding reductions in stiffness.Notably,under combined loading with axial compression and flexion moment,anterior stiffness decreased from 939 N/mm(intact)to 224 N/mm(disc injury),while posterior stiffness decreased from 572 N/mm to 217 N/mm.Within the low-load range,no significant differences in shear stiffness were observed across any structural conditions,regardless of axial force inclination or combined with a flexion moment.Conclusions This study supports the clinical view that retro-inclination of the pelvis serves as a compensatory mechanism to enhance segmental shear stability.However,this compensatory capacity gradually diminishes and ultimately fails as spinal degeneration progresses.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Feisu Granules,and its effects on quality of life,coagulation and immune function in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)with syndrome of phlegm-heat and blood stasis of lung.Methods Totally 120 AECOPD patients were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method,with 60 cases in each group.The control group was given conventional Western medicine treatment,and the observation group received Feisu Granules treatment on the basis of the control group,one bag each time,three times a day,orally.The treatment for both groups lasted for 7 d.The clinical efficacy of both groups were observed.TCM symptom scores,St.George's respiratory questionnaire(SGRQ)score,coagulation function indexes(fibrinogen,D-dimer),and immune function indexes(CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+)of both groups were compared.The side effects were observed.Results The total effective rate in the observation group(93.10%)was significantly higher than that of the control group(79.66%),with statistical significance(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,TCM symptom scores,scores of cough,wheezing,venous congestion,and SGRQ score decreased in both groups after treatment(P<0.05);after treatment,the observation group had lower above scores than the control group(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,both groups showed a decrease in plasma fibrinogen and D-dimer levels after treatment(P<0.05);after treatment,the observation group showed lower levels of plasma fibrinogen and D-dimer compared with the control group(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,the peripheral blood CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ levels in both groups significantly increased after treatment,while CD8+ levels significantly decreased(P<0.05);after treatment,the peripheral blood CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,while CD8+ was lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Neither group had any drug-related side effects.Conclusion On the basis of conventional Western medicine,the combination of Feisu Granules in the treatment of AECOPD with syndrome of phlegm-heat and blood stasis of lung can significantly improve clinical efficacy,improve patient quality of life,facilitate coagulation function recovery,and enhance cellular immune function.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of prophylactic high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) in reducing postoperative pulmonary complication (PPC) in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods The clinical data of elderly patients (over 60 years) with NSCLC who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy or segmental resection at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 2021 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether receiving HFNC after surgery, they were divided into a conventional oxygen therapy (CO) group and a HFNC group. The CO group were matched with the HFNC group by the propensity score matching method at a ratio of 1 : 1. We compared PPC incidence, white blood cell (WBC) count, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein on postoperative day (POD) 1, 3 and 5 and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups. Results A total of 343 patients (165 males, 178 females, average age of 67.25±4.79 years) were enrolled, with 53 (15.45%) receiving HFNC. Before matching, there were statistical differences in gender, rate of combined chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pathology type and TNM stage between the two groups (all P<0.05). There were 42 patients successfully matched in each of the two groups, with no statistical difference in baseline characteristics (P>0.05). After propensity score matching, the results showed that the PPC incidence in the HFNC group was lower than that in the CO group (23.81% vs. 45.23%, P=0.039). WBC count on POD 3 and 5 and procalcitonin level on POD 3 were less or lower in the HFNC group than those in the CO group [ (8.92±2.91)×109/L vs. (10.62±2.67)×109/L; (7.68±1.58)×109/L vs. (8.86±1.76)×109/L; 0.26 (0.25, 0.44) μg/L vs. 0.31 (0.25, 0.86) μg/L; all P<0.05]. There was no statistical difference in the other inflammatory indexes or the postoperative hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Prophylactic HFNC can reduce the PPC incidence and postoperative inflammatory indexes in elderly patients with NSCLC, but does not shorten the postoperative hospital stay.
