Objective To evaluate the application effect of modified jejunostomy in thoracoscopic Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy. Methods A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for middle and lower esophageal cancer from 2017 to 2023 in Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Anqing Municipal Hospital was performed. The patients from 2017 to 2020 receiving "C+I" in the upper jejunum according to the "C+I" model, with fistula fixed with only two purse-string sutures and the abdominal wall were allocated into a group A. The patients from 2021 to 2023, on the basis of "C+I" suture, with the jejunum and abdominal wall fixed with 3-0 absorbable thread for 1-2 needles at the proximal or distal end of the fistula 10-15 mm, and the upper jejunum and abdominal wall fixed into "curtain" were allocated into a group B. The operation time, jejunostomy time, postoperative pathological stage, and enteral nutrition-related complications such as the incidence of incomplete intestinal obstruction, closed loop intestinal obstruction and intestinal volvulus requiring secondary surgery, skin redness and swelling of intestinal fluid leakage, stoma tube blockage, and accidental extubation were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 243 patients were enrolled in this study. The group A consisted of 118 patients (72 males, 46 females) with a mean age of (64.58±6.30) years. The group B consisted of 125 patients (76 males, 49 females) with a mean age of (65.11±6.81) years. All patients successfully underwent thoracoscopic Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy without perioperative mortality. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in operative time, jejunostomy creation time, or the rate of feeding tube occlusion (P>0.05). However, statistical differences were observed in the incidence of incomplete intestinal obstruction (P=0.035) and closed-loop intestinal obstruction requiring reoperation (P=0.017). The incidence of complications at the stoma site, such as intestinal fluid leakage and redness/swelling, was significantly higher in the group A (n=36) than that in the group B (n=7) (P<0.001). Conclusion The modified jejunostomy can significantly reduce the incomplete intestinal obstruction, closed loop intestinal obstruction and secondary operation rate after "C+I" jejunostomy, and significantly improve the leakage of intestinal fluid at the stoma and the injury of surrounding skin and soft tissue. Improvements in certain technologies reduce operational difficulties.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of three-dimensional(3D) reconstruction guided uniportal fluorescence thoracoscopic subsegmentectomy for the pulmonary nodules.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 50 patients with nodules who underwent uniportal fluorescence thoracoscopic subsegmentectomy from December 2021 to February 2024. All patients underwent thin-slice CT scanning and 3D reconstruction preoperatively. 12 patients were given CT-guided hookwire localization preoperatively.The intersegmental plane was identified by fluorescence method.Results:One patient was converted to right upper lobectomy due to no lesion found in S1b. The mean blood loss was(23.4±16.5)ml and the mean operative time was(126.5±38.5)min. The mean duration of postoperative drainage was(2.6±0.8)days. Mean postoperative hospitalization was(4.8±1.8)days. There were 2 cases with postoperative pulmonary infections, including one with encapsulated pleural effusion. There was no air leakage over 3 days, and no death within 30 days after surgery.Conclusion:3D reconstruction guided uniportal fluorescence thoracoscopic subsegmentectomy is a safe and feasible technique for resection of pulmonary nodules in lung subsegments, and surgical indications must be strictly controlled.

Objective    To summarize the clinical experience of thoracoscopic combined subsegmentectomy (CSS). Methods    The clinical data of 76 patients who underwent thoracoscopic CSS in Anqing Municipal Hospital from May 2018 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 22 males and 54 females, aged 27.0-76.0 (54.3±10.5) years. All patients underwent preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography using dual source CT. The modified inflation-deflation technique or indocyanine green was used to identify the intersubsegmental border. Results    A total of 86 pulmonary nodules were resected in 76 patients. One patient of left upper lobe S1+2c+S4a, 1 patient of right upper lobe S2b+S3a and 1 patient of right upper lobe S1b+S3b were further performed lobectomy due to insufficient margin. One patient of left upper lobe S1+2+S3a was further performed left upper division segmentectomy due to residual atelectasis. One patient of left upper lobe S1+2c+S3a was further performed left upper division segmentectomy due to B3b+c injury, and the rest completed planned surgeries successfully. The operative time was 90.0-350.0 (174.9±53.2) min. The operative hemorrhage volume was 50.0 (20.0, 50.0) mL. The postoperative hospital stay time was 6.0 (5.0, 7.0) d. Postoperative complications included pulmonary infection in 9 patients, hemoptysis in 3 patients, persistent pulmonary leakage>3 d in 4 patients, pneumothorax in 1 patient, pleural effusion in 1 patient, and myocardial infarction in 1 patient. All of the patients were cured and discharged without perioperative death. Conclusion    Thoracoscopic CSS is relatively complex. Preoperative planning under three-dimensional reconstruction and intraoperative fine operation are helpful for safe completion.

Objective    To explore the clinical issues associated with video-assisted pulmonary segmentectomy and to provide reference for better implementation of thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy and reduction of perioperative complications through analyzing the clinical results of thoracoscopic segmentectomy. Methods    The clinical data of 90 patients who planned to undergo thoracoscopic segmentectomy in our department from October 2017 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 35 males with an average age of 60.34±9.40 years and 55 females with an average age of 56.09±12.11 years. The data including lung nodule number, benign or malignant, preoperative location by Hookwire, preoperative planning and actual implementation, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume and time of drainage tube removal, postoperative hospital stay and complications were collected and analyzed. Results    Among the 90 patients, 38 were preoperatively positioned by Hook-wire, 52 were directly operated on; 87 were completed under thoracoscopic surgery among whom 3 underwent passive lobectomy after segmentectomy under thoracoscopic surgery, and 3 were converted to thoracotomy among whom 1 underwent lobectomy. Operation time was 198.58±56.42 min, intraoperative blood loss was 129.78±67.51 mL, lymph node samples were 6.43±1.41, drainage time was 2.98±1.25 d, the amount of postoperation drainage was 480.00±262.00 mL, hospital stay was 7.60±2.38 d. In all patients, 73 had single nodules and 17 had multiple nodules. Totally 113 pulmonary nodules were resected, 14 (12.39%) were benign nodules and 99 (87.61%) were malignant nodules. There was no perioperative death or serious complications. Conclusion    For those pulmonary parenchymal nodules which meet the  indications, it is feasible to perform thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy according to preoperative thin-slice CT and three-dimensional computed tomography-bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) reconstruction results. Preoperative Hookwire localization can ensure effective edge resection and reduce unplanned lobotomy for intersegmental nodules and non-palpable peripheral pure ground-glass nodules.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) through anterolateral approach in treatment of middle-distal humeral shaft fracture.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 21 patients with middle-distal humeral shaft fracture admitted to 7th Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from August 2015 to March 2018, including 12 males and 9 females, aged 18-68 years [(31.3±3.6)years]. All were closed fracture. According to AO classification, the fracture were classified as type A in 6 patients, type B in 10 and type C in 5. All patients were treated with anterolateral minimally invasive plate fixation. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay were recorded. The fracture healing was observed after operation. The visual analogue scale (VAS), University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder rating scale, and Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) were used to evaluate the effectiveness before operation and at 2 weeks, 3 months and 12 months after operation.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-26 months [(18.2±2.4)months]. The operation time was 50-82 minutes [(68.2±19.4)minutes], with intraoperative blood loss of 40-95 ml [(60.2±21.3)ml]. The hospital stay was 6-16 days [(6.8±1.2)days]. There was no iatrogenic vascular or nerve injury during operation. The patients with radial nerve injury before operation were all adventitia contusion. The nerve function returned to normal within 3 months after operation. All fractures were healed within 5-10 months [(5.3±1.2)months]. At 2 weeks, 3 months and 12 months after operation, the VAS [(3.6±0.8)points, (2.1±0.4)points, (1.8±0.3)points] was lower than that before operation [(8.3±1.6)points] ( P<0.05); UCLA shoulder rating scale [(31.2±1.5)points, (33.6±0.8)points, (34.6±0.5)points] was higher than that before operation [(28.4±2.3)points] ( P<0.05); and MEPS [(80.2±3.4)points, (93.4±2.2)points, (96.4±3.5)points] was higher than that before operation [(60.5±4.5)points] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the UCLA shoulder rating scale and MEPS showed excellent results. Conclusion:For middle and lower humeral shaft fracture especially for the fracture line relatively distal to the shaft, MIPO technique through anterolateral approach can attain satisfactory results in terms of pain, range of motion of shoulder and elbow joint, and joint function.

Objective To explore hemodynamic performance of the aortic dissection after lesions, so as to provide a more scientific basis for patient treatment. Methods Based on computed tomography angiography (CTA) image data from a patient with complex Stanford B-type aortic dissection, the personalized aortic dissection models with different rupture shapes (H-type, O-type, and V-type) at proximal end of the aortic dissection were established. Combined with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and morphological analysis method, distributions of the velocity at rupture section, the blood flow, the wall pressure and the wall shear stress (WSS) were analyzed. Results The flow velocity, the highest pressure difference and the WSS proportion at entrance of the H-shaped rupture showed larger hemodynamic parameters than those of the other two types. The risk of dissection rupture for type H was the largest, while type V was in the middle, and type O was the smallest. Conclusions This study provides an effective reference for further numerical analysis the cases and formulation of treatment plans.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of surgery via endoscopic-assisted transcallosal approach in intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH).Methods:A retrospective study was performed; the clinical data of 68 IVH patients admitted to our hospital from October 2016 to January 2020 were analyzed. These patients were divided into endoscopic treatment group ( n=34) and drainage group ( n=34) according to the treatment methods. In the endoscopic treatment group, IVH was evacuated via endoscopic-assisted transcallosal approach; in the drainage group, external ventricular drainage and urokinase injection were performed. Gross hematoma clearance rate (clearance rate≥95%) 1, 3, and 7 d after surgery, complication incidence 7 d and 1 month after surgery, and good prognosis rate (ability of daily living [ADL] grading I-III) 3 months after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results:One, 3, and 7 d after surgery, the gross hematoma clearance rate in the endoscopic treatment group was significantly higher than that in the drainage group ( P<0.05). The recurrent hemorrhage rate within 7 d of surgery, intracranial infection rate, and percentage of patients with secondary hydrocephalus requiring shunt within 30 d of surgery in the endoscopic treatment group were significantly lower than those in the drainage group (2.9% vs. 20.6%, 2.9% vs. 23.5%, 5.9% vs. 17.6%, P<0.05). Three months after follow-up, the good prognosis rate of patients in the endoscopic treatment group was significantly higher than that in the drainage group (91.2% vs. 58.9%, P<0.05). Conclusion:Endoscopic-assisted transcallosal approach is recommended in clinical treatment of IVH, which can significantly reduce postoperative complications and improve postoperative prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation combined with levonorgestrel releasing in uterine system (LNG-IUS) in the treatment of adenomyosis.Methods:From January 2015 to January 2018, patients with adenomyosis diagnosed and treated in Obstetrics and Gynecology of our hospital were selected as the research objects. According to the wishes and treatment methods of the patients, the patients were divided into two groups: the combined treatment group was treated with HIFU combined with LNG-IUS, and the HIFU group was only treated with HIFU; the lesion volume and uterine volume reduction rate, hemoglobin, carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and verbal rating scale (VRS) scores were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and adverse reactions after treatment the scores were recorded.Results:Cases were followed up for 12 months after treatment: the lesion volume reduction rate and uterine volume reduction rate in the combined treatment group were better than those in the HIFU group [(58.8±14.1)% vs (49.3±17.2)%, (37.4±6.2)% vs (32.9±5.0)%, P<0.05]; the hemoglobin level was higher than that in the control group [(113.4±12.8)g/L vs (107.5±10.6)g/L, P<0.05]. In addition, the VRS score of dysmenorrhea in the combined treatment group was also better than that in the HIFU group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with HIFU ablation alone, patients performed in HIFU combined with LNG-IUS achieved better lesion volume reduction rate and uterine volume reduction rate, and hemoglobin level and dysmenorrhea symptoms improved better in patients with adenomyosis.

Objective: To construct a scientific behavioral research of pasta matrix reaching task (PMRT) and comprehensively evaluate sensory-motor dysfunction caused by brain injury. Methods: Twenty-one SD rats were subjected to 14-days pasta matrix grasping training and then were randomly divided into model group (11 rats) and sham group (6 rats). Motor cortex ischemia was induced by injection of endothelin-1 in SD rats. The number of pasta grabed by the injured forelimb and the location in matrix were evaluated daily 7 days after surgery. The infarct volume was measured by Nissl staining at the 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days after stroke. Results: The number of pasta obtained by rats was reduced from (33.43±1.02) to (20.57±0.57) at 7 days post stroke in model group, and then increased to (26.85±0.98) at 28 days post stroke, although there was a significant difference between sham group(32.33±1.45) and ischemic group (t=3.198, P<0.05). The frequency of retrieval from each slot of the pasta matrix represented that sham group demonstrated a significant gain in performance in the antero quadrant of the matrix compared to ischemic rats by the fourth week after stroke.The stroke volume was decreased from (37.82±1.17)mm³ at 7 days post-stroke to (24.35±0.38)mm³ at 28 days post-stroke, indicating brain recovery from ischemic injury. Conclusion The pasta matrix reaching task can function as a versatile and sensitive behavioral assay that permits experimenters to collect accurate outcome data and manipulate limb use to mimic human clinical phenomena including compensatory strategies and focused rehabilitative training after stroke.

Objective To investigate the relationship between mismatch repair (MMR) protein expression and microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor TNM staging in colorectal cancer. Methods The clinical data of 1351 patients who underwent radical resection of colorectal cancer at the Xijing Digestive Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from January 2008 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The MMR and MSI status in patients with different gender, age and TNM staging were analyzed. Results Of the 1351 specimens, 291 (22％) didn't express MMR protein. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the deletion rates of MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2 between patients ≥60 years old and<60 years old (all P<0.05);there were significant differences in the deletion rates of MSH2 between stage T3 and the other stages (P<0.05); the deletion rates of MLH1, PMS2 among different N stages, and the deletion rates of MSH2 and MSH6 between stage N0 or N1 and the other N stages were significantly different (all P< 0.05); the deletion rates of PMS2 among different M stages were significantly different (P< 0.05). There were significant differences in PMS2 deletion rates among different TNM stages and MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6 deletion rates between stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ and the other stages (all P< 0.05). There was significant difference in MSI positive rates between patients ≥60 years old and<60 years old (P<0.05); there were significant differences in MSI positive rates between stage T3 or T4 and the other T stages, among different N or M stages, and between TNM stage Ⅱ, ⅢorⅣand the other TNM stages (all P<0.05). Conclusions The MMR protein expression and MSI in colorectal cancer patients are closely related to tumor TNM staging. Detection of MMR protein expression and MSI in colorectal cancer patients has certain reference value for judging TNM staging of colorectal cancer. To a certain extent, it can guide the diagnosis and treatment of patients with colorectal cancer and judge the prognosis.
