1.Application of pylorus-preserving gastrectomy in surgical treatment for early gastric cancer and interpretation of guidelines and consensus
Journal of Surgery Concepts & Practice 2024;29(1):81-86
Endoscopic resection(ER)and laparoscopic surgery are the main methods for treatment of early gastric cancer(EGC).Radical gastrectomy(RG)and lymph node dissection are required for the patients who don't meet the indications of ER,but it may cause postoperative stomach dysfunction and reduce quality of life(QOL).Pylorus-preserving gastrectomy(PPG)is one of the function-preserving gastrectomy for EGC.The short-term complications of PPG are equal to that of RG and it is also beneficial to long-term nutritional status and QOL.The 5-year survival rate of PPG is similar to that of distal subtotal gastrectomy(DSG)according to a retrospective study of the matched cohort.But delayed gastric emptying(DGE)is a common problem in the short and long term after PPG.The limited lymph node dissection of PPG makes its application not widely promoted.Sentinel node navigation surgery(SNNS)may provide more personalized and minimally invasive surgery,in order to preserve the gastric function to the maximum extent.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of delayed methotrexate (MTX) elimination after high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) treatment in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and the effects of delayed MTX elimination and HD-MTX reduction on the prognosis of children with ALL.Methods:The clinical data of 242 children with ALL diagnosed and treated in Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2015 to June 2020 in accordance with the Chinese Children's Cancer Group study ALL 2015 (CCCG-ALL 2015) were retrospectively analyzed. Low risk and intermediate/high risk children respectively received 3 g/m 2 and 5 g/m 2 HD-MTX for 4 times, and the serum MTX concentration was monitored. The serum MTX concentration > 1 μmol/L at 44 h of administration was considered as the delayed elimination, which was divided into mild (> 1 μmol/L and ≤ 5 μmol/L), moderate (> 5 μmol/L and ≤ 10 μmol/L) and severe (> 10 μmol/L) delayed elimination. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of delayed MTX elimination, and univariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the related factors of ALL relapse. Results:The 242 children with ALL completed 962 times of HD-MTX chemotherapy. The median serum MTX concentration [ M ( Q1, Q3)] at 44 h of administration was 0.45 μmol/L (0.33 μmol/L, 0.72 μmol/L). The total incidence of delayed MTX elimination was 17.7% (170/962). The incidence of mild, moderate and severe delayed elimination was 13.8% (133/962), 2.6% (25/962) and 1.2% (12/962), respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥ 7 years old ( OR = 1.68, 95% CI 1.17-2.41, P = 0.005), MTX dose >3 g/m 2 at each course ( OR = 2.14, 95% CI 1.52-3.03, P < 0.001) and the first course of HD-MTX chemotherapy ( OR = 2.05, 95% CI 1.43-2.93, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for delayed MTX elimination. The median follow-up time was 50 months (34 months, 68 months), 12.8% (31/242) of the children relapsed, and the median relapse time was 30 months (30 months, 39 months). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the relapse rates among children with different gender, immunophenotype, risk, the number of delayed MTX elimination, and the completion of HD-MTX chemotherapy (the ratio of MTX average dose to initial planned dose) (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:The independent risk factors of delayed elimination of MTX in children with ALL are age ≥ 7 years old, MTX dose > 3 g/m 2 at each course and the first course of HD-MTX chemotherapy. Delayed elimination of MTX and reduction of HD-MTX have no significant effect on ALL relapse.

Objective:To investigate the application value of three-dimensional (3D) laparoscope in the transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 20 patients with middle and low rectal cancer who underwent TaTME in the Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from June 2018 to October 2019 were collected. There were 15 males and 5 females, aged from 28 to 81 years, with a median age of 64 years. Of the 20 patients, 10 patients using 3D laparoscopic system for transanal approach of TaTME were divided into 3D group, and 10 patients using two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic system for transanal approach of TaTME were divided into 2D group. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery; (2) postoperative pathological examination; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination and telephone interview to detect survival of patients and recurrence and metastasis of tumors in patients up to April 2020. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Fisher exact propability. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:(1) Intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery: patients in the two groups completed surgeries successfully, without tranversion to laparostomy from laparoscopic surgery, transversion to transabdominal surgery from transanal surgery, or intraoperative death. The cases with terminal ileostomy, cases with manual anstomosis or mechanical anastomosis (anastomotic methods), operation time, volume of intra-operative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay, cases with anastomotic leakage or anastomotic hemorrahge (postoperative short-term complications), cases with anastomotic stenosis of the 3D group were 7, 4, 6, 150 minutes (range, 100-220 minutes), 50 mL (range, 30-100 mL), 8.5 days (range, 7.0-16.0 days), 2, 0, 1, respectively, versus 8, 5, 5, 180 minutes (range, 120-250 minutes), 100 mL (range, 30-200 mL), 9.5 days (range, 6.0-17.0 days), 1, 1, 1 of the 2D group. There was no significant difference in the terminal ileostomy, anastomotic methods, postoperative short-term complications, or anastomotic stenosis between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, or duration of postoperative hospital stay between the two groups ( Z=1.909, 1.827, 0.687, P>0.05). Patients with short-term complications in the two groups were improved after conservative treatments. There was 1 patient with anastomotic stenosis in either group, and they were improved after endoscopic balloon dilatation. (2) Postoperative pathological examination: the maximum tumor diameter, distal margin of the tumor, the number of lymph nodes harvested, cases with cancer nodes in the mesentery, cases with complete mesentery or median complete mesentery (the integrity of mesentery), cases in stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ (postoperative pathological stage) of the 3D group were 3.8 cm (range, 1.8-5.0 cm), 1.0 cm (range, 0.5-2.5 cm), 14.5 (range, 6.0-19.0), 1, 9, 1, 4, 2, 4, respectively, versus 4.8 cm (range, 1.0-8.5 cm), 0.8 cm (range, 0.3-1.5 cm), 15.5 (range, 8.0-18.0), 1, 8, 2, 2, 4, 4 of the 2D group. There was no significant difference in the maximum tumor diameter, distal margin of the tumor, the number of lymph nodes harvested, the integrity of mesentery, or postoperative pathological stage between the two groups ( Z=1.673, 1.772, 0.038, 0.610, 0.482, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the cases with cancer nodes in the mesentery between the two groups ( P>0.05). Patients in the two groups had negative distal margin and circumferential margin. (3) Follow-up: patients in the 3D group and 2D group were followed up for 11 months (range, 6-16 months) and 13 months (range, 6-21 months), respectively. During the follow-up, there was no local recurrence, distal metastasis, or tumor-related death. Conclusions:3D laparoscope applied in the TaTME can achieve similar clinical efficacy with 2D laparoscope, which may have a positive impact on the operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss.

Objective To explore the mechanisms of ligament of Marshall (LOM) initiat and sustain atrial fibrillation (AF).Methods The electrophysiologic properties of canine LOM were investigated using multipolar catheter mapping(normal canines,n =4,group A;AF canines,n =5,group B).The programmed stimulation were performed in the LOM,PV-left atrium(LA)junction and LA,respectively.Activations maps of LOM were analyzed from episodes of spontaneous onset of AF and initiation of induced AF by a single extrastimulus.The effectives refractory period of each part was compared and statistically analyzed among three parts in each group and between the two groups.LOM were cutted with surgical incision technology.The inducing rate of AF and the mapping rate of double potential and fragmented electrocardiogram were compared and statistically analyzed pro and post isolation of LOM.Results The incidence of abnormal potential of LOM in the two groups was significantly different(P <0.01),re-entry cycle(group A 25% vs.B group 80%),tachycardia(group A 25% vs.B 100%),double potential(group A 25% vs.group B 80%),fragmentation potential(group A 25% vs.group 80%).There was a significant difference in the rate of LOM tachycardia induction before and after LOM intervention in group B (P < 0.05,before 100% vs.after 20%).Conclusion There are two possible mechanisms of LOM involved in the occurrence and maintenance of AF:one is that LOM induces AF through spontaneous excitation,the other is that LOM participates in the reentry of left atrium and pulmonary vein in the form of bypass to induce and maintain AF.
