Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of precise disconnection of pargastric varices guided by endoscopic ultrasound in the treatment of esophagogastric variceal bleeding.Method A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 patients with cirrhosis esophagogastric variceal bleeding treated with endoscopic ultrasound-guided precise disconnection of pargastric varices from January 1,2024 to December 31,2024.The efficacy was analyzed.Result All 20 patients successfully completed the precise disconnection of pargastric varices under the guidance of endoscopic ultrasound.The injection of tissue gel combined with the placement of spring coils(14 cases)and the injection of tissue gel alone(4 cases)successfully blocked the pargastric varices.All patients did not experience perforation,esophageal and cardia stenosis,massive bleeding,septicemia,or ectopic embolization.One patient who received tissue gel alone had slight bleeding from the pargastric varices after surgery and improved after 3 days of treatment to reduce portal vein pressure.Another one patient who received tissue gel alone had a low-grade fever and normal body temperature after 3 days of anti-infection treatment.Conclusion Precise disconnection of pargastric varices under the guidance of endoscopic ultrasound has a good therapeutic effect on esophagogastric variceal bleeding,with fewer complications such as ectopic embolization,massive bleeding,infection,and perforation.However,close follow-up observation is still needed to address the issue of pargastric varices.

Objective:To explore the distribution of cardiovascular disease(CVD)and cardiovascular risk fac-tors(CVRF)in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer before treatment and their correlation with the histological type,stage and grade of ovarian cancer.Methods:A total of 401 newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian cancer pa-tients admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 1,2015 to December 31,2022 were enrolled.Analyze the distribution of CVD(including hypertension,coronary heart disease,stroke,etc.)and CVRF(including diabetes,dyslipidemia,high level of uric acid)in epithelial ovarian cancer patients.Univari-ate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were performed on the association between CVD,CVRF and the histological type,grade and stage of epithelial ovarian cancer.Results:①Among 401 epithelial ovarian cancer pa-tients,43.6％had at least one CVD before therapy.The most common CVD was hypertension(41.1％),and the most common CVRF was dyslipidemia(57.9％).②Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥60 years was an independent risk factor for serous,high-grade,and advanced epithelial ovarian cancer(OR＞1,P＜0.05).Dyslipidemia was an independent risk factor for high-grade and advanced epithelial ovarian cancer(OR＞1,P＜0.05).High level of uric acid was an independent risk factor for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer(OR＞1,P＜0.05).③The proportion of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and lipoprotein A[Lp(A)]abnor-malities in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer was significantly higher than in those with early stage epithelial ovarian cancer(P＜0.05),and the proportion of number of abnormal lipid components was higher in pa-tients with high grade and advanced epithelial ovarian cancer than in patients with low grade and early stage epi-thelial ovarian cancer,respectively(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Patients with epithelial ovarian cancer bear a signifi-cant burden of CVD and CVRF.Hypertension is the most common CVD,and dyslipidemia is the most common CVRF.Dyslipidemia was associated with epithelial ovarian cancer grade and stage.High level of uric acid was as-sociated with epithelial ovarian cancer stage.Active control of blood pressure and blood lipid levels is very impor-tant for epithelial ovarian cancer patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for the treatment of BCR::ABL-negative chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) and MDS/MPN with neutrophilia.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed 12 cases of CNL and MDS/MPN with neutrophilia that underwent allo-HSCT from March 2017 to June 2024, comprising 7 males and 5 females with a median age of 48 ( IQR: 28, 59) years. The 2-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), and transplantation-related mortality (TRM) rates were analyzed. Complications were also assessed. Results:Of the 12 patients, 6 received matched sibling HSCT and 6 received haploidentical HSCT. All patients had successful engraftment, and the median times of neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 17 ( IQR: 11, 24) days and 15 ( IQR: 9, 28) days, respectively. Grade Ⅱ–Ⅳ acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) and chronic GVHD occurred in 2 and 4 cases, respectively. The 2-year OS, DFS, CIR, and TRM rates were (65.6 ± 16.4) %, (41.7 ± 16.6) %, (47.2 ±18.2) %, and (11.1 ± 11.4) %, respectively, after a median follow-up time of 637 ( IQR: 330, 943) days. One patient died from treatment-related complications due to respiratory failure caused by coronavirus disease 2019. Two patients died due to relapse. Conclusion:Allo-HSCT can be applied as a safe and effective approach to treat CNL and MDS/MPN with neutrophilia.

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.

Objective To compare the prognosis effects between laparoscopic transabdominal approach and thoracoscopic laparoscopic combined approach in treatment of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).Methods 110 patients who underwent AEG resection and lymph node dissection from December 2021 to December 2023 were selected and divided into laparoscopic group (n=62) and thoracoscopic laparoscopic combined group (n=48) according to treatment methods.After propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance the difference between the two groups and reduce potential confounding factors,the general data,perioperative indexes,nutritional status indexes,postoperative complications,and postoperative survival of the two groups were analyzed.The generalized estimating equation (GEE) analysis was used to construct the nutritional status related index model of the two groups of patients before and after treatment.The Cox proportional risk model was used to analyse the effect of treatment on the prognosis of AEG patients.Results Before PSM,there were statistically significant differences in gender,age,body mass index (BMI),TNM grade,maximum tumor diameter and esophageal invasion length between the laparoscopic group and the thoracoscopic laparoscopic combined group (P<0.05).After PSM,the results showed that there were no statistical significances in the comparison of general clinical data between the laparoscopic group and thoracoscopic laparoscopic combined group (P>0.05).The operation time,postoperative bed time and postoperative hospital stay in the thoracoscopic laparoscopic combined group were significantly longer than those in the laparoscopic group (P<0.05),the intraoperative blood loss was significantly more than that in the laparoscopic group (P<0.05),and 24 h postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) was significantly higher than that of laparoscopic group (P<0.05).The number of lymph node dissection,the number of positive lymph nodes,the number of mediastinal lymph nodes dissection and the number of abdominal lymph nodes dissection were significantly more than those in the laparoscopic group (P<0.05).The differences of hemoglobin (Hb),albumin (ALB),prealbumin (PAB),transferrin (TRF) and weight (W) before and after surgery were significantly higher than those in laparoscopic group (P<0.05).And there were no statistically significant differences in postoperative complications and 1-year survival rate between the two groups (P>0.05).The GEE analysis results showed that laparoscopic treatment had a greater impact on Hb and TRF,while thoracoscopic laparoscopic combined treatment had a greater impact on ALB,PAB and W.Laparoscopic treatment was a protective factor for good prognosis in AEG patients (P<0.05).Conclusion The laparoscopic treatment has advantages in operation time,postoperative bed time,postoperative hospital stay,intraoperative blood loss,24 h VAS and postoperative nutritional indexes.The thoracoscopic laparoscopic combined treatment has advantages in the number of lymph node dissection,the number of positive lymph node,the number of mediastinal lymph nodes dissection and the number of abdominal lymph nodes dissection.Considering the therapeutic effect comprehensively,the short-term prognosis of laparoscopic treatment is better.
