Background: This study was performed to characterize the incidence, costs, and risk factors associated with renal and cardiovascular adverse outcomes following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: Patients with STEMI who underwent pPCI using iso-osmolar contrast were enrolled at 39 centers. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and major adverse renal and cardiovascular events (MARCE) was analyzed, as well as inpatient costs. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors. Results: Among 2,293 patients, the incidence of AKI and MARCE within 72 hours post-pPCI was 4.14% (n = 95) and 4.40% (n = 101), respectively. AKI and/or MARCE were associated with systolic blood pressure (AKI: odds ratio [OR], 1.009; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.000–1.018), hypertension (AKI: OR, 1.815; 95% CI, 1.133–2.906; MARCE: OR, 1.760;95% CI, 1.118–2.769), anterior wall infarction (AKI: OR, 1.895; 95% CI, 1.196–3.004; MARCE:OR, 1.939; 95% CI, 1.240–3.032), Killip class (AKI: OR, 1.465; 95% CI, 1.117–1.922; MARCE:OR, 1.467; 95% CI, 1.131–1.903), and serum creatinine (SCr; MARCE: OR, 1.006; 95% CI, 1.000–1.012). Hospitalization costs for patients with STEMI who developed AKI or MARCE were significantly higher than for those without AKI (9,595 ± 5,795 vs. 8,279 ± 3,872 USD, P = 0.003) or without MARCE (9,890 ± 5,616 vs. 8,255 ± 3,859 USD, P < 0.001). Conclusions In patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI with iso-osmolar contrast, the incidence of AKI and MARCE was associated with higher hospitalization costs. Systolic blood pressure, hypertension, anterior wall infarction, Killip class, and SCr were identified as risk factors for these outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the impact of postoperative complications on adverse outcomes following curative-intent resection for gallbladder cancer (GBC).Methods:The multi-center real-world study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 629 patients with GBC, who were admitted to 14 medical centers including The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from the national multicenter database of Biliary Surgery Group of Elite Group of Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, from April 2020 to April 2024 were collected. There were 225 males and 404 females, aged (64±10)years. Patients underwent open curative-intent resection for GBC. Observation indicators: (1)surgery, postoperative complica-tions and adverse outcomes; (2) analysis of risk factors affecting postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and population attributable fraction (PAF). Missing data in predictor variables were addressed using multiple imputation with chained equations, while cases with missing outcome variables were addressed using the "multiple imputation then deletion (MID)" strategy. The severity of multicollinearity among independent variables was assessed using the variance inflation factor (VIF) test. Multivariable possion regression models with log link and robust error variance were construc-ted incorporating restricted cubic splines (3 knots) to address nonlinear relationships in continuous variables, calculating adjusted relative risk ( RR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval ( CI). Adjusted PAF was calculated for each imputed dataset using the AF package of R software, with subsequent pooling performed according to Rubin's rules. Results:(1) Surgery, postoperative complications and adverse outcomes. All 629 patients underwent curative-intent resection for GBC, of which 143 cases had postoperative complications, including 68 cases of intra-abdominal ascites, 39 cases of pulmonary infection, 21 cases of bile leakage, 12 cases of intra-abdominal hemorrhage, 11 cases of liver failure, 10 cases of pan-creatic fistula, 10 cases of wound infection, 10 cases of gastroparesis, 7 cases of cholangitis, 7 cases of sepsis. The same patient could have more than one kind of complication. Of 629 patients, there were 19 cases of postoperative 90-day death and 11 cases of missing data, 42 cases with post-operative 90-day reoperation and 7 cases with missing data, 44 cases with postoperative 90-day readmission and 3 cases with missing data, 155 cases with prolonged postoperative hospital stay and 3 cases with missing data. (2) Analysis of risk factors affecting the postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and PAF. Results of multivariate analysis showed that pulmonary infection and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day mortality ( RR=3.74, 12.15, 95% CI as 1.18-11.83, 1.98-74.48, P<0.05). Pulmonary infection demons-trated the highest PAF as 4.61% (95% CI as 3.94%-5.28%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, and intra-abdominal hemorrhage were independent risk factors for post-operative 90-day reoperation ( RR=4.80, 3.62, 3.46, 4.99, 95% CI as 2.49-9.26, 1.42-9.21, 1.34-8.92, 1.55-16.06, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 8.65% (95% CI as 8.22%-9.08%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, bile leakage, and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day readmission ( RR=6.20, 3.33, 14.33, 95% CI as 3.21-11.95, 1.33-8.35, 3.72-55.28, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 9.11% (95% CI as 8.85%-9.37%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, liver failure, and wound infection were independent risk factors for prolonged postoperative hospital stay ( RR=2.29, 2.21, 2.26, 2.14, 3.35, 95% CI as 1.63-3.23, 1.41-3.46, 1.32-3.86, 1.11-4.13, 1.70-6.60, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 6.03% (95% CI as 5.71%-6.35%, P<0.05). Conclusion:Pulmonary infection is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day mortality after curative-intent resection for GBC, while intra-abdominal ascites is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day reoperation, postoperative 90-day readmission, and prolonged postoperative hospital stay.

Objective:To investigate the influence of curative-intent resection with textbook outcomes of liver surgery (TOLS) on long-term prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma (GBC).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 824 patients with GBC in the national multicenter database of Biliary Surgery Group of Elite Group of Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, who were admitted to 15 medical centers from January 2014 to January 2021, were collected. There were 285 males and 539 females, aged (62±11)years. According to the evalua-tion criteria of TOLS, patients were divided into those who achieved TOLS and those who did not achieve TOLS. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and com-parison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data were conduc-ted using the Mann-Whitney U test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate and draw survival curve, and the Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. The COX stepwise regression model with backward Wald method was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Achievement of TOLS. Of the 824 patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC, there were 510 cases achieving TOLS and 314 cases not achieving TOLS. (2) Follow-up. Of the 824 patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC, after excluding 112 deaths within 90 days after discharge, 712 cases were included for the survival analysis. The median follow-up time, median overall survival time and 5-year overall survival rate of the 510 patients achieving TOLS were 22.1(11.4,30.1)months, 47.6(30.6,64.6)months and 47.5%. The median follow-up time, median overall survival time and 5-year overall survival rate of the 202 patients not achieving TOLS were 14.0(6.8,25.5)months, 24.3(20.0,28.6)months and 21.0%. There was a significant difference in overall survival between patients achieving TOLS and patients not achieving TOLS ( χ2=58.491, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of factors influencing prognosis of patients. Results of multivariate analysis showed that TOLS, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA19-9, poorly differentiation of tumor, T2 stage of eighth edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging, T3 and T4 stage of eighth edition of AJCC staging, N1 stage of the eighth edition of AJCC staging, N2 stage of the eighth edition of AJCC staging, adjuvant therapy were independent factors influencing overall survival time of patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC ( hazard ratio=0.452, 1.479, 1.373, 1.612, 1.455, 1.481, 1.835, 1.978, 0.538, 95% c onfidence interval as 0.352-0.581, 1.141-1.964, 1.052-1.791, 1.259-2.063, 1.102-1.920, 1.022-2.147, 1.380-2.441, 1.342-2.915, 0.382-0.758, P<0.05).

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune liver disease accompanied by cholestasis, with the histological feature of non-purulent cholangitis. This article briefly describes the advantages and limitations of the traditional pathological staging systems such as Rubin stage, Scheuer stage, and Ludwig stage and the latest Nakanuma stage. Among them, Nakanuma stage refines the histological grading and staging standards to reduce the chance of missed diagnosis due to sampling errors, thus providing more adequate diagnostic and prognostic information for the clinic. A combination of new and traditional staging systems can provide guidance to the diagnosis, treatment, and research of PBC.

Objective:To discuss the clinical significance of structural chest zones for gynecomastia.Methods:A total of 687 gynecomastia patients, aged from 14 to 45 years old, with an average age of 27.0, were admitted to the Department of Plastic Surgery, Huashan Hospital Fudan University from January 2012 to December 2018. Simon classification was used to record. Conduct Simon classification according to the preoperative measurement of the chest. Surgical area design, photo analysis, breast ultrasound examination and Derriford appearance scale evaluation were conducted as well. Six zones can be divided as follows: zone 0 nipple-areola zone, zone 1 gynecomastia zone, zone 2 accessory-breast zone, zone 3 lateral-roll zone, zone 4 IMF(inframammary fold) zone, zone T relative-contraindication zone. Positive and lateral images of the chest were taken before and one week, one month, three months, six months, and 12 months after the operation, and the preoperative and postoperative changes of each structural zone were compared. At the follow-up of 12 months after the operation, patients’ satisfaction was counted.Results:687 patients, according to Simon classification, were divided toⅠ degreein 65 cases, Ⅱa degree in 257 cases, Ⅱb degreein 194 cases, Ⅲ degree in 171 cases. Before operation, except for Simon Ⅰ degree in 65 cases showed just raised to 0 zone, most of the rest of the patients contains 1 zone raised, 2-4 zones come in different patients. After liposuction and glandular stripping were performed in different zones, postoperative follow-up was conducted one week, one month, three months, six months, and 12 months after the operation. The dynamic observation was made of the change process of chest shape shaping during the follow-up, whether there were postoperative complications, poor local shape, or bad regional shape. Evaluation results of patient satisfaction 12 months after surgery: among the 687 patients, there were 634 patients with 10 points of satisfaction, and 53 patients with 8-9 points, including 48 patients of zone 0 and zone 1, three patients of zone 3, and 2 patients of zone 4.Conclusions:The structural chest zones of gynecomastia provides plastic surgeons and male patients with simple, intuitive, and highly recognized preoperative evaluation, which can provide appropriate, simplified, and accurate guidance for the selection of surgical methods.

Objective DSA and/or surgery was used as a control to evaluate the image quality, radiation dose and diagnostic efficacy of 70 kV combined with low contrast agent dose and 80 kV dual-source CT scanning of coronary artery. Methods Between Apr, 2012 and Apr, 2017, a total of 150 consecutive pediatrics with suspected or confirmed coronary arterial diseases underwent DSCTCA, and the patients were randomly divided into 3 groups by different scanning protocols. Group A (n=50): 80 kV with 1.5 ml/kg contrast agent;Group B (n=50): 70 kV with 1.5 ml/kg contrast agent;Group C (n=50): 70 kV with 1.0 ml/kg contrast agent. ANOVA was used to compare the differences of subjective coronary arteries image quality between the three groups; The t-test was used to compare the difference in effective radiation dose between the 70 kV group and the 80 kV group; The surgery and/or angiography results were used as gold standard to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the three groups. Results All patients underwent DSCTCA successfully and satisfactory diagnostic images were gained . The mean scores of subjective image quality of coronary artery were 3.5±0.7, 3.4±0.6, 3.7±0.8, respectively. There was no significant difference between the 3 groups (F=2.042, P=0.133). The diagnostic accuracy of the three groups for coronary artery disease was 100%, as the surgical and/or angiographic results were used as gold standard. The effective radiation doses in 80 kV group (A group) and the 70 kV group (B+C group) were (0.49 ± 0.04) and (0.30 ± 0.03) mSv, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (t=4.037, P=0.001). Conclusions DSCTCA can better display and diagnose pediatric coronary artery lesions with 70 kV tube voltage combined with low contrast agent, and has a high diagnostic accuracy. It is a reliable method for diagnosing pediatric coronary artery disease.
