Encephalomyocarditis virus(EMCV)is a zoonotic pathogen that causes encephalitis and myocarditis as its primary clinical manifestations.To explore effective preventive measures,this study utilized a Bac-to-Bac expression system to insert the EMCV P12A and 3C genes into the pFastBacDual shuttle vector,resulting in the generation of the recombinant baculovirus Ac-P12A-3C.This facilitated the large-scale expression and purification of EMCV virus-like particles(VLPs),which were correctly assembled into particles of approximately 30 nm in diameter,as ob-served by electron microscopy.Immunization and challenge experiments in mice demonstrated that these VLPs could effectively protect against EMCV infection,achieving a protection rate of 100％.Histopathological sections indicated that,compared to the PBS control group,the VLP immuniza-tion group exhibited significantly reduced tissue damage,along with a marked decrease in viral load within the tissues.In piglets,immunization with the VLPs elicited a robust humoral response,with neutralizing antibody titers reaching 1∶320 to 1∶640 after a second immunization,and no signifi-cant adverse reactions were observed throughout the immunization process.This study preliminarily explores the immunogenicity and safety of the VLP vaccine,laying the foundation for the development of a subunit vaccine based on EMCV VLPs and offering a new strategy for the prevention and control of encephalomyocarditis.

Objective:To introduce the clinical application of "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection in laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:Patients who were confirmed to have adenocarcinoma by preoperative gastroscopy and pathological biopsy, with tumor staging evaluated by imaging as cT1~4aN0~3M0, without neoadjuvant therapy, and without absolute surgical contraindications, underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer with "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection. The "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection was performed in four steps: (1) Expose the posterior gastric mesentery and dissect No.11p lymph nodes; (2) Expose the left gastric mesentery and dissect No.7, No.8a and No.9 lymph nodes; (3) Expose the right gastric mesentery and dissect No.5 lymph nodes; (4) Expose the left edge of the portal vein and dissect No.12a lymph nodes.Results:From April 2018 to October 2024, 112 patients with gastric cancer underwent laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy with "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection, including 21 cases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, 78 cases in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, and 13 cases in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Jilin Provincial People's Hospital. The TNM staging of all patients was as follows: 31 cases in stage Ⅰ, 24 cases in stage Ⅱ, and 57 cases in stage Ⅲ; 62 cases of differentiated adenocarcinoma and 50 cases of undifferentiated adenocarcinoma; the median length of tumors was 3.8 cm. All patients successfully completed the operation without conversion to open surgery, no intraoperative massive hemorrhage or postoperative death. The median total number of lymph nodes dissected in all patients was 32, and the median number of positive lymph nodes was 4.5. The overall postoperative complication rate was 5.4% (6/112), all of which were Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ, including pulmonary infection, pleural effusion, and incisional infection, all cured by symptomatic treatment. The median follow-up was 41.8 (2-78) months, with 7 cases lost to follow-up. During the follow-up period, 27 cases (25.7%) had tumor recurrence and 16 cases (15.2%) died.Conclusions:The "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection technique is safe and feasible in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Objective:To discuss the feasibility and safety of stage I anastomosis and T-tube fistulation in laparoscopic local resection of duodenal tumors.Methods:A descriptive case series study was used to retrospectively analyze the clinical diagnosis and treatment data of 14 patients with duodenal tumors who successfully underwent laparoscopic local resection of duodenal tumors + phase I anastomosis + T-tube ostomy in the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine and the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from October 2021 to March 2024. The resection and reconstruction steps of laparoscopic local resection of duodenal tumor + phase I anastomosis + T-tube ostomy are as follows: (1) after the safe margin is clear, the duodenal tumor is completely removed in full thickness, and the specimen bag is taken out and sent to frozen section to determine the nature of the tumor and the negative margin; (2) Perforate the anterior duodenal wall below the tumor plane, place a 16# T tube, and fix it with laparoscopic purse string suture. The abdominal wall is led out through the duodenum, and the duodenal T tube fistulation is performed; (3) The duodenum was continuously sutured in a full-thickness transverse shape, and the seromuscular layer was strengthened to form a phase I anastomosis. The nutritional improvement of patients after operation was mainly observed, and the intraoperative situation and postoperative complications were recorded.Results:No conversion to laparotomy, postoperative emergency reoperation, intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred in 14 patients with duodenal tumors who completed laparoscopic local resection of duodenal tumors + phase I anastomosis + T-tube ostomy. The operation time was (225.43 ± 56.54) min, and the intraoperative blood loss was (72.14 ± 74.65) ml. The patient recovered well after operation, and no severe postoperative abdominal bleeding occurred. Postoperative gastrointestinal angiography showed that the anastomotic stoma was unobstructed, and there were no stenosis, anastomotic leakage and other related complications. There was no significant difference in serum albumin [(37.09 ± 3.53) g/L vs. (37.52 ± 4) g/L] and hemoglobin [(100.79 ± 31.93) g/L vs. (103.07 ± 19.6) g/L] between before and 1 week after operation ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic local resection of duodenal tumor + phase I anastomosis + T-tube fistulation can be used as one of the safe and feasible improved methods for local resection of duodenal tumor to effectively reduce the occurrence of related complications.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features and possible tumor-associated immune micro-environment in CD23-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods The clinicopathological data of 12 cases of CD23-positive DLBCL patients were analyzed retrospectively.The clinical and pathological features were ana-lyzed,and the clinical correlation and tumor-associated immune invasion were studied.Results CD23-positive DL-BCL accounted for 9.45％of all DLBCL.There were 6 males and 6 females.The mean age of onset was 64.83 years old.Four DLBCL cases occurred in lymph nodes and 8 cases occurred outside lymph nodes.Nine DLBCL cases were in advanced stage(Ⅲ-Ⅳ)and 3 cases DLBCL were in early stage(Ⅰ-Ⅱ).Among the patients,3 cases were untreated and lost to follow-up.One case deteriorated and died after operation.Two cases died,1 case progressed and 5 cases partially recovered after chemotherapy.Microscopically,the tumor cells were diffusely infiltrated and destroyed the nor-mal tissue structure.The tumor cells were observed to be centroblastic,immunoblastic and anaplastic large cells.No blastoid transformation and plasmacytoid differentiation were observed in morphology.According to Hans algorithm,11 cases were non-GCB phenotype except 1 case was GCB phenotype.Bioinformatics studies revealed that CD23 expres-sion was correlated with regulatory T cells,NK cells,plasma-like dendritic cells and neutrophils.Conclusion CD23-positive DLBCL patients are mainly middle-aged and elderly,and most of them occur outside lymph nodes and in ad-vanced stage(Ⅲ-Ⅳ).Follow-up results show that their prognosis is poor.Morphologically,there is no significant difference between DLBCL and conventional DLBCL.The Hans classification suggests that most cases originated from activated B cells.CD23 expression may play a role in the immune microenvironment of DLBCL.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dye-free submucosal injection solution for gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a retrospective cohort study was performed on data of inpatients with early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions who underwent ESD at the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Jiangsu Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to December 2020. Cases were divided into dye-free submucosal injection solution group (the observation group) and dye-containing solution group (the control group). A total of 108 cases met the eligibility criteria for analysis (39 VS 69). Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed similar median procedure time (30.5 min VS 35.0 min), median dissection speed (0.3 cm2/min VS 0.4 cm2/min), mean volume of injection solution used (39.2 mL VS 38.8 mL), en bloc resection rate [100.0% (39/39) VS 98.6% (68/69)], and curative resection rate [97.4% (38/39) VS 97.1% (67/69)] (all P>0.05). Postoperative stay was 3.0±0.8 days in the observation group and 3.2±0.8 days in the control group ( t=-0.908, P=0.378). Delayed bleeding occurred in 3 (7.7%) patients VS 2 (2.9%) patients ( P=0.349), and postoperative infection occurred in 3 (7.7%) patients VS 8 (11.6%) patients ( P=0.743), respectively. In gastric ESD, dye-free submucosal injection solution demonstrates efficacy comparable with dye-containing solution and does not appreciably increase the incidence of intraoperative or postoperative complications.
