All patients did not experience uncontrolled hyperglycemia. The median survival time of 52 patients was 13 months, and the longest follow-up time was 38 months. There were 37 patients died of tumor recurrence, 4 patients died of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, and 1 patient died of pulmonary infection in the 42 died patients.Conclusions:Total pancreaticoduodenectomy via artery approach can improve the R 0 resection rate in pancreatic cancer patients with vascular invasion, the rate of postoperative complication and mortality has no significant increase. The postoperative blood sugar control is satisfactory and the quality of life is guaranteed.

Objective To observe the value of preoperative CT radiomics models for predicting composition of in vivo urinary calculi.Methods Totally 543 urolithiasis patients were retrospectively enrolled and divided into calcium oxalate monohydrate stone group(group A,n=373),anhydrous uric acid stone group(group B,n=86),carbonate apatite group(group C,n=30),ammonium urate stone group(group D,n=28)and ammonium magnesium phosphate hexahydrate stone group(group E,n=26)according to the composition of calculi,also divided into training set and test set at the ratio of 7:3.Radiomics features were extracted and screened based on plain CT images of urinary system.Five binary task models(model A-E corresponding to group A-E)and a quinary task model were constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm for predicting the composition of calculi in vivo.Then receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn,and the area under the curves(AUC)were calculated to evaluate the predictive efficacy of binary task models,while the accuracy,precision,recall and F1 score were used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the quinary task model.Results All binary task models had good efficacy for predicting the composition of urinary calculi in vivo,with AUC of 0.860-0.948 in training set and of 0.856-0.933 in test set.The accuracy,precision,recall and F1 score of the quinary task model for predicting the composition of in vivo urinary calculi was 82.25％,83.79％,46.23％and 0.596 in training set,respectively,while was 80.63％,75.26％,43.48％and 0.551 in test set,respectively.Conclusion Binary task radiomics models based on preoperative plain CT had good efficacy for predicting the composition of in vivo urinary calculi,while the quinary task radiomics model had high accuracy but relatively poor stability.

Objective To explore the interventional effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on tardive dyskinesia (TD) in schizophrenic patients. Methods A total of 105 schizophrenic patients were selected as subjects and randomly divided into 1 Hz treatment group, 10 Hz treatment group and control group, with 35 patients in each group. All three groups received rTMS treatment for 12 weeks. The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) scores were compared among the three groups. Physiological indicators such as electrocardiogram, blood routine, blood biochemistry and hormone levels were monitored. Results After treatment, the total AIMS scores in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and those in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The reduction rates of AIMS scores in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were 68.6% and 65.7%, respectively, which were significantly higher than the 22.9% in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the total SANS and PANSS scores in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and those in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the total AIMS score, efficacy and total PANSS score between the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the total TESS scores and physiological indicators among the three groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Both 1 Hz and 10 Hz rTMS can effectively improve TD in schizophrenic patients with good safety and have no significant side effects or physiological damage.

Inducing the degradation of KRAS represents a novel strategy to combat cancers with KRAS mutation. In this study, we identify ubiquitin-specific protease 2 (USP2) as a novel deubiquitinating enzyme of KRAS in multiple myeloma (MM). Specifically, we demonstrate that gambogic acid (GA) forms a covalent bond with the cysteine 284 residue of USP2 through an allosteric pocket, inhibiting its deubiquitinating activity. Inactivation or knockdown of USP2 leads to the degradation of KRAS, resulting in the suppression of MM cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, overexpressing USP2 stabilizes KRAS and partially abrogates GA-induced apoptosis in MM cells. Furthermore, elevated USP2 levels may be associated with poorer prognoses in MM patients. These findings highlight the potential of the USP2/KRAS axis as a therapeutic target in MM, suggesting that strategically inducing KRAS degradation via USP2 inhibition could be a promising approach for treating cancers with KRAS mutations.

Objective : To analyze the expression and immune infiltration levels of the BMP7 gene ( BMP7) in e- sophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC) ． Methods : Initially，in 274 cases of ESCC and 242 cases of normal tissues，the level of BMP7 was verified by immunohistochemistry ，and the relationship between the expression difference and the survival cycle and clinical pathological characteristics of patients with ESCC was explored，and BMP7 overexpression plasmid transfection of ESCC cells was established，and the effect of BMP7 on the biological behavior of ESCC cells was examined by CCK-8，Clone，and Transwell. Results : BMP7 expression in normal e- sophageal tissues was higher than that of ESCC(P＜0. 001) ，the expression level of BMP7 was correlated with the degree of differentiation of patients(P = 0. 006) and TNM staging(P ＜0. 001) ，and the survival of patients with high expression of BMP7 exceeded that of patients with low BMP7 (P = 0. 041) ，and the experiments of CCK-8 and Clone showed that the proliferation effect of cells in the overexpressed BMP7 group was lower than that of the control group．Transwell experiments confirmed that the cell invasion migration capacity of the overexpressed BMP7 group was less than that of the control one．The immune infiltration results showed that BMP7 was positively correlated with macrophages(P = 0. 008) and negatively correlated with γ-δT cells(P = 0. 028) ． Conclusion BMP7 is low in ESCC and associated with poor prognosis and immune infiltration levels in patients.

Objective:To explore the regulatory effect of cellular FLICE-like inhibitory protein (cFLIP) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury based on the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL-mediated necroptosis pathway.Methods:The cardiomyocyte hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model was constructed by hypoxia for 4 h/reoxygenation for 12 h, and the rat ischemia reperfusion (I/R) model was constructed by ligating the left anterior descending artery for 30 min and reperfusion for 3 h. CCK-8 method was used to detect the viability of cardiomyocytes in each group. DAPI/PI double staining was used to observe changes in necrosis rate of myocardial cell. STRING database was used to predict the protein interaction network of cFLIP. TTC staining was used to detect the area of myocardial infarction in each group of rats, and the protein expression of cFLIPL, cFLIPS, p-RIPK1, p-RIPK3 and p-MLKL were detected by Western blot.Results:In cardiomyocyte H/R injury and myocardial tissue I/R injury, the protein expressions of cFLIPL and cFLIPS were significantly down-regulated, while the levels of p-RIPK1, p-RIPK3 and p-MLKL were increased significantly. Up-regulating the protein expression of cFLIPL and cFLIPS could significantly reduce the damage of cardiomyocytes and the rate of cell necrosis induced by H/R, and decrease the area of myocardial infarction caused by I/R. STRING database results showed that cFLIP had direct protein interactions with RIPK1 and RIPK3. Overexpression of cFLIP in cardiomyocyte and myocardial tissue significantly inhibited H/R or I/R induced the phosphorylation levels of RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL.Conclusions:Overexpression of cFLIP can significantly inhibit the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL-mediated necroptosis, thereby reducing myocardial cell damage and decreasing the area of myocardial infarction.

Objective:To explore the influences of different lying positions on vital signs and comforts in patients with tracheal intubation removed after intestinal fistula surgery.Methods:From October 2018 to June 2019, convenience sampling was used to select 150 patients with intestinal fistula surgery after general anesthesia in Intensive Care Unit of the General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command were selected as the research object. After waiting for the patient to wake up from anesthesia, the tracheal intubation was removed, and the lying position was changed after normal spontaneous breathing through the nose. Patients were randomly divided into 5 groups, 30 cases in each group. Group A was in the supine position; group B was in the lying position with the head of the bed raised by 15°; group C was in the lying position with the head of the bed raised by 30°; group D was in the lying position with the head of the bed raised by 45°; group E was in the lying position with the head of the bed raised by 15° to 45 °. At the beginning, the head of the bed was shaken to 15 °; and after two hours, the head of the bed was shaken to 30 °, and after another two hours, the head of the bed was shaken to 45 °. After 5 groups of patients fixed the angle of the lying position, when the patient complained of discomfort or the body position changed spontaneously, the patient changed the lying position. The duration of the lying position, uncomfortable symptoms and pain degree of abdominal incision were compared among 5 groups.Results:Patients with tracheal intubation removed after intestinal fistula surgery had a longer persistence in the 15° and 30° lying positions within 6 hours, respectively (72.27±12.41) min and (69.37±9.10) min. There were statistically significant differences in the persistence time of 5 different lying positions ( P<0.01) . The number of patients in group B and C with waist pain was less, and there were more patients with painless incisions, and there were statistically significant differences among 5 groups ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Among patients with tracheal intubation removed and normal spontaneous breathing through the nose after intestinal fistula surgery, the 15° to 30° lying position within 6 hours after the operation can prolong the patient's adherence to the lying position, reduce the incidence of abdominal incision pain and waist pain, and reduce the probability of dizziness, nausea and vomiting.

OBJECTIVETo explore the efficacy of over-the-scope clip (OTSC) in the treatment of gastrointestinal fistula.

METHODSClinical data of 12 gastrointestinal fistula patients, including 3 internal fistula and 9 external fistula treated with OTSC in our institute from March 2015 to May 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. OTSC was performed when pus was drained thoroughly and intra-abdominal infection around gastrointestinal fistula was controlled, and each patient received one clip to close fistula.

RESULTSThere were 6 female and 6 male patients with mean age of (50.1±12.6) years. The successful rate of endoscopic closure was 100% without complications including bleeding and intestinal obstruction during and after OTSC treatment. According to comprehensive evaluation, including drainage without digestive juices, no recurrence of intra-abdominal infection, no overflow of contrast medium during digestive tract radiography, and CT examination without intra-abdominal abscess, clinical gastrointestinal fistula closure was 91.7%(11/12). There was no recurrence of gastrointestinal fistula during 3 months of follow-up in 11 patients. In the remaining 1 case, the gastric fistula after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy recurred one week after OTSC treatment because of intra-abdominal infection surrounding fistula, and was cured by surgery finally.

CONCLUSIONThe endoscopic closure treatment of OTSC for gastrointestinal fistula is successful and effective, and control of intra-abdominal infection around fistula with adequate drainage is the key point.

Objective:To explore therapeutic effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) combined verapamil on no-reflow during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: A total of 106 patients, who suffered from no-reflow during PCI in our department from Jan 2011 to Dec 2013, were selected.According to random number table method, patients were divided into SNP group (n=55, received SNP based on routine treatment) and combined treatment group (n=51, received verapamil based on SNP group).Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) level before and 16h~18h after PCI, cardiac function indexes after 12-month follow-up, incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were measured and compared between two groups.Results: Compared with before PCI, there were significant rise in cTnI level in both groups on 16~18h after PCI, P=0.001 both;compared with SNP group, there were significant reductions in cTnI level [(1.31±0.44)μg/L vs.(0.11±0.02)μg/L] and percentage of cTnI>0.10μg/L (94.5% vs.54.9%) in combined treatment group, P=0.001 both.Compared with SNP group after 12 months, there was significant rise in left ventricular ejection fraction [(62.29±3.06)% vs.(65.65±3.94)%], and significant reductions in left ventricular end-diastolic dimension[(50.24±3.73)mm vs.(47.60±4.72)mm] and left ventricular end-systolic dimension [(33.29±2.11)mm vs.(31.00±4.33)mm] in combined treatment group, P<0.05 all.There were no significant adverse reactions during hospitalization and follow-up in both groups.Conclusion: When no-reflow occurs during PCI, intracoronary injection of SNP combined verapamil can improve cardiac function, and its safety is good, which is worth extending.

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived parameters on the improvement of left ventricular function in patients with acute viral myocarditis. Methods: Forty patients, who referred for acute viral myocarditis in our hospital from September 2011 to September 2015, were prospectively enrolled in this study.All patients were examined by CMR during hospitalization for acute viral myocarditis (baseline) and after 12 months.The CMR sequences include: two dimension steady state free precession, 2D SSFP; triple inversion recovery, triple IR; early gadolinium enhancement; phase sensitive inversion recovery turbo field echo, PSIR TFE. Results: Thirty out of 40 patients with susceptive acute viral myocarditis met the CMR criteria of acute viral myocarditis (Lake Louise Criteria) (LL+ ) and the other 10 patients did not meet the diagnostic criteria (LL-). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) values were significantly lower in LL+ group than in LL- group at baseline and at 12 months after discharge (P<0.01 or 0.05, respectively). The baseline left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) was significantly higher in LL+ group than in LL- group (P<0.05) and was similar between the groups at 12 months follow up.Left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI )was similar between the two groups at baseline and at 12 months follow up.LVEF was significantly higher during 12 months follow up compared to baseline in LL+ group and remained unchanged in LL- group during the two time points.LVESVI and LVEDVI remained unchanged at baseline and during 12 months follow up both in LL+ and LL- groups (P>0.05). Results showed that LL+ , edema ratio (ER) positive and global relative enhancement (gRE) positive were associated with significant increase of LVEF at 12 months follow up.However, LL-, ER negative, gRE negative, late gadolinium enhancement(LGE) negative and LGE positive linked with unchanged LVEF at 12 months follow up (P>0.05). Patients were further divided into LVEF increase (ΔLVEF≥5%) group and non LVEF increase group (ΔLVEF<5%), the results of Chi-square test showed that LL+ and ER positive were related to the improvement of LVEF (P<0.05), while gRE and LGE were not associated with improvement of cardiac function (P>0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis, using ER, gRE and LGE as independent variables and LVEF as dependent variables, showed that the presence of myocardial edema was the strongest independent predictor of an increase in LVEF at follow up (full model: non-standardized coefficient 0.445, P=0.043; reduced model: non-standardized coefficient 0.442, P=0.12). Conclusion Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging monitoring is valuable to observe the cardiac function and morphology changes in patients with acute viral myocarditis, and myocardial edema imaging is the most powerful parameter to predict the improvement of LVEF in this patient cohort.
