Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of different anti-reflux surgery combined with laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) complicated with hiatal hernia.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 405 patients with GERD and hiatal hernia undergoing laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair combined with different anti-reflux surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Jan 2013 to Jun 2019. The patients were divided into four groups based on the anti-reflux surgery: 38 patients underwent Nissen fundoplication (Nissen group), 67 patients underwent Toupet fundoplication (Toupet group), 101 patients underwent Dor fundoplication (Dor group), and 199 patients underwent His angle plasty (His group). The improvement of symptoms, the use of proton pump inhibitor (PPI), surgical outcomes, and postoperative complications were compared among the four groups at 5 years after surgery.Results:Compared with preoperative scores, the scores of acid regurgitation and heartburn in all four groups decreased significantly after surgery (Nissen group: Z=-4.974, -4.905; Toupet group: Z=-9.245, -9.413; Dor group: Z=-8.080, -8.225; His group: Z=-11.705, -11.619, all P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in postoperative symptom scores among the four groups (acid regurgitation: 2.2 vs. 2.0 vs. 1.9 vs. 1.9; heartburn: 2.0 vs. 1.7 vs. 1.7 vs. 1.8, all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the total effective rate of treatment among the four groups (86.8% vs. 92.5% vs. 87.1% vs. 91.5%, χ2=2.314, P=0.510). Additionally, there was no significant difference in the PPI independence among the four groups (63.2% vs. 61.2% vs. 60.4% vs. 60.3%, χ2=0.120 P=0.989). The incidence of severe dysphagia and abdominal distension was higher in the three fundoplication groups (Nissen, Toupet, and Dor groups) than in the His group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair combined with different anti-reflux surgery is safe and effective in the long-term treatment of GERD complicated with hiatal hernia. His angle plasty has the advantages of simple surgical operation and low incidence of postoperative dysphagia and abdominal distension, and is a recommended new anti-reflux surgery.

OBJECTIVE To improve the solubility of the insoluble drug aprepitant, solve the problem of solubilization in acid and crystallization and precipitation in alkali of aprepitant, select polymer carriers with different functions, prepare ternary solid dispersions, and investigate their performance. METHODS Binary solid dispersions were prepared by solvent-melt method, and the solubility and dissolution rate were used as indicators to screen the solubilization-enhancing carrier materials. The crystallization inhibition performance of each polymer in different concentrations of drug solutions was investigated by the medium transfer method, and the best precipitation inhibitor was screened. The ternary solid dispersions were prepared by hot melt extrusion technique, and the ternary solid dispersion prescriptions were preferably selected with the indexes of solubility and crystal inhibition time. The presence of the drug in the carrier was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis, and the dynamic solubility and physical stability of the ternary solid dispersion in simulated intestinal fluid under accelerated conditions were investigated. RESULTS The binary solid dispersion prepared by hydrophilic polymer PVP K30 showed fast dissolution and good solubilization, the enterosoluble polymer HPMCAS showed superior crystal inhibition and prolonged the supersaturation point of aprepitant, and the ternary solid dispersion with a mass ratio of 1∶1∶3(APR∶PVP K30∶HPMCAS) was rapidly and completely released in acid(95% dissolution at 120 min). The ternary solid dispersions were completely released and maintained the solution in a highly supersaturated stable state at 6 h when the pH of the medium was shifted to 6.8, which significantly increased the dissolution degree and dissolution rate relative to the APR, and the drug existed in the carrier matrix in an amorphous form, while being able to maintain the amorphous state for at least three months under accelerated conditions. CONCLUSION Based on the physicochemical properties of different polymers, the ternary solid dispersion prepared in this work not only significantly improves the solubility of aprepitant by coordinating the dissolution rate and crystallization inhibition effect, but also solves the problem of aprepitant dissolution in stomach and precipitation in intestine, with good dissolution characteristics.

Objective:To explore the application and clinical efficacy of functional neural navigation multimodal image fusion technology combined with intraoperative fluorescein sodium in the surgery of lung cancer brain metastases.Methods:Forty patients with lung cancer and brain metastasis admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2024 were collected as the observation group. Another 40 patients with lung cancer brain metastases who underwent microscopic resection at Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Hospital from January 2016 to December 2019 were selected as the control group. All patients received head CT examination, head MRI examination, MRI enhanced sequence and MRA, MRV and DWI sequence scanning before operation. Functional neural navigation system was used to perform preoperative multi-modal image fusion to realize three-dimensional display of tumor lesions, and display the position relationship between tumor and functional areas, conduction bundles and large blood vessels, so as to make preoperative navigation plan. After conducting a fluorescein sodium allergy test on the patient before surgery, a small dose of fluorescein sodium (2 mg/kg) was intravenously injected during the operation. During the operation, neuro navigation was combined with fluorescein sodium to perform tumor resection by displaying the boundary between tumor tissue and normal brain tissue under a Pentero 900 Zeiss microscope 560 fluorescence mode. Both groups collected tumor tissue samples for pathological classification and immunohistochemical analysis, comparing and analyzing differences in tumor resection degree, postoperative occurrence of new neurological dysfunction, postoperative muscle strength improvement, changes in KPS scores before and after surgery, and the occurrence of complications. The metric data that conforms to normal distribution is represented by xˉ± s, and the comparison of means between two groups is conducted using independent sample t-test. Calculate the percentage based on the count data, and compare the inter group rates using the χ2 test. P<0.05 indicates statistical significance of the difference. Results:Compared with the control group, the total tumor resection rate of observation group (75.0% (30/40) ) and KPS score of 3 months after surgery (82.5% (33/40)) were better than those of the control group (52.5% (21/40) and 60% (24/40)), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 value was 4.94 and 4.38, P values were 0.026 and 0.036). The rate of postoperative new neurological dysfunction in the observation group (22.5% (9/40)) was lower than that in the control group (45.0% (18/40)), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=4.53, P=0.033). The length of hospital stay ((21.48±3.23) days), operation time ((216.65±56.76) points) and complication rate (37.5% (15/40)) in observation group were lower than those in control group ((22.43±2.34) days, (225.62±37.68) points, 45.0% (18/40)). However, the difference was not statistically significant ( t/ χ2 values were 1.51, 0.83, and 0.46, respectively; P values were 0.136, 0.408, and 0.496, respectively). The 12-month survival rate of observation group (67.5%(27/45) respectively was significantly higher than that of control group (40.0%(16/40) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.08, P=0.014). Conclusion:Functional neural navigation multimodal image fusion technology combined with intraoperative fluorescein sodium can accurately locate the tumor and determine the boundary relationship between the tumor and normal brain tissue during lung cancer brain metastasis surgery, improve tumor resection rate, enhance patient quality of life, and ultimately improve patient prognosis without increasing the risk of related complications.

Objective:To investigate the effect of continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain oxygen partial pressure (PbtO 2) monitoring and guiding treatment after the application of standard large bone flap decompression and microhematoma removal in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods:A retrospective analysis was done of 41 patients with TBI in Department of Neurosurgery in the Inner Mongolia People's Hospital from January 2018 to May 2020. Patients with Glasgow coma scale (GCS)<8 points were treatesd with microscopical removal of hematoma and contusion brain tissue and standard large bone flap decompression. Intraoperative intracranial pressure and brain tissue oxygen partial pressure monitoring probes were placed. Postoperatively, continuous intracranial pressure monitoring and partial oxygen pressure monitoring of brain tissue were performed, and target-based treatment under ICP and PbtO 2 monitoring was performed. According to the Glasgow Outcome (GOS) score after six months, patients were divided into a good outcome group (4-5 scores) and a poor outcome group (1-3 scores). There were 26 cases in good prognosis group and 15 cases in poor prognosis group. Linear regression analysis was used to further evaluate the relationship between PbtO 2, ICP and GOS score. The measurement data of normal distribution were compared by independent sample t-test. The counting data were expressed in cases (%), and the comparison between groups was adopted χ 2 inspection. The general linear bivariate Pearson correlation test was used. Results:The mean value of PbtO 2 (17.42±5.34) mmHg in the poor prognosis group was lower than that in the good prognosis group (24.65±5.61) mmHg, with statistical significance ( t=4.04, P<0.001). The mean value of ICP (22.32±3.45) mmHg in the poor prognosis group was higher than that (17.32±3.23) mmHg in the good prognosis group, with statistical significance ( t=4.15, P<0.001). Using PbtO 2 and ICP as independent variables and GOS score after 6 months as dependent variable, a regression equation was established ( Y=4.040 X+7.497; Y=-2.549 X+28.63). The mean value of PbtO 2 was positively correlated with GOS scores after 6 months in patients with severe head injury ( r=0.75, P<0.001). The mean value of ICP was negatively correlated with the prognosis of patients with severe head injury ( r=-0.87, P<0.001). Conclusion:The treatment guided by ICP combined with PbtO 2 monitoring is valuable in improving the prognosis of patients with severe traumatic brain injury after standard decompressive craniectomy, and may improve the prognosis 6 months after the injury.
