Objective:To design a modified S1PR3 specific agonist, GPS-725.017, and investigate its protective effect on acute lung injury by promoting macrophage clearance of bacteria.Methods:A short peptide derived from the intracellular region of S1PR3 receptor was named GPS725.017, which was modified with norleucine (Nle) and myristicacid (myr) at its N terminus. Mice were divided into the sham operation group, solvent group and GPS-725.017 treatment group. The acute lung injury model was induced by endotracheal injection of E. coli (5×10 6 CFU), and the experimental group was treated with GPS-725.017 (10 mg/kg). The 48-h survival rate of mice was recorded. After 5 h of modeling, the bacterial load and inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood and lung were detected, and Vps34 protein content in alveolar macrophages was determined by Western blot. After 12-h of modeling, lung tissues were collected for H&E staining and pathological scores. Results:Compared with the solvent group, the survival rate of mice in the GPS-725.017 treatment group was significantly improved ( P<0.01), the bacterial CFU in blood and alveolar lavage fluid was significantly lower than that in the solvent group ( P<0.001), and the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in blood and alveolar lavage fluid were significantly lower than those in the solvent group ( P<0.001). Western blot showed that the expression level of Vps34 protein in alveolar macrophages was significantly higher than that in the solvent group ( P<0.01). Histopathology result showed that the pathological damage of lung in the treatment group was significantly less than that in the solvent group ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The modified synthetic S1PR3 specific agonist GPS-725.017 could specifically activate the S1PR3 receptor on the membrane of alveolar macrophages and up-regulate the expression level of intracellular Vps34 protein, which can promote the removal of bacteria in alveolar macrophages, significantly reduce the degree of lung injury and improve the survival rate in ALI mice.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of postoperative radiotherapy using shrinking field for patients with extremity soft tissue sarcoma (STS), mainly focusing on the local control rate and adverse events.Methods:Clinical data of 49 extremity STS patients who received postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy in the First Hospital of Tsinghua University from October 2017 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Target volumes were contoured on CT and MRI fusion images. The tumor bed was defined as GTV tb, with 3 cm expansion in the longitudinal direction and 1.5 cm expansion in the radial direction to construct CTV (the target volume should be properly repaired according to the anatomical barrier, and the edema area around the tumor should be included). GTV tb and CTV were expanded in all directions by 0.5 cm to construct PTV1 and PTV2 respectively, at a dose of 95%PTV1 63-66 Gy, 95%PTV2 50-56 Gy,1.8-2.0 Gy/f. The dose of surgical volume should be given at 70 Gy for patients who had a microscopic positive margin. Results:The median follow-up time was 32.1 months (7.9-45.6 months). The 3-year local failure-free survival (LFFS), overall survival (OS)and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) were 91.7%,77.6% and 71.5%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that patients with a microscopic positive margin were more likely to develop local recurrence ( P<0.05). The incidence of grade 2 or above wound complications, joint stiffness, fracture, edema and skin fibrosis were 2%, 4.1%, 2%, 8.2% and 26.5%, respectively. Conclusion:Postoperative radiotherapy with shrinking field provides excellent local control rate and low incidence of late adverse events in patients with extremity STS.

Objective:To explore the outcomes of standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with complex neck anatomical features.Methods:Clinical data of AAA patients received standard EVAR from Jan 2004 to Dec 2018 were retrospectively collected. Based on pre-operative computed tomography angiography (CTA) data, patients were divided into complex neck group and non-complex neck group to compare the results between them.Results:There were 88 patients (66.2%) in complex neck group and 45 patients (33.8%) in non-complex group. There was no significant difference in peri-operative characters (blood loss, contrast volume used, hospital stay time, technical success rate) and follow-up results (late re-intervention, late endoleak, aneurysm enlargement, survival rate),all P>0.05.Multivariant logistic regression analysis revealed neck diameter larger than 31 mm was related with late re-intervention ( OR=24.975, P=0.02). Conclusion:Standard EVAR for AAA with complex neck characters does not cause higher perioperative complications and less favorable long term survival rate.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the safety, feasibility and short-term efficacy of intracavitary uncut Roux-en-Y (URY) anastomosis in digestive tract reconstruction following laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG). METHODS: From November 2015 to January 2018, 67 gastric cancer patients underwent intracavitary URY following LTG to reconstruct the digestive tract at Oncological Surgery Department of Fujian Provincial Hospital. There were 41 males and 26 females with age of 50 to 81 (61.9±7.4) years and body mass index (BMI) of (23.4±3.2) kg/m². Among 67 patients, 19 were gastric cardia carcinomas, 33 were gastric body carcinomas, and 15 were gastric fundus carcinomas; tumor size was (3.4±2.3) cm; 22 were Borrmann type I, 15 were type II, 21 were type III, and 19 were type IV; 29 were highly or moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, 23 were lowly differentiated adenocarcinoma, and 15 were signet-ring cell carcinoma. After conventional laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy, the duodenum was closed and dissociated at 2 cm below the pyloric ring using the Echelon-flex endoscopic articulated linear Endo-GIA stapler, and the esophagus was dissociated above the esophagogastric junction (EGJ).URY and digestive tract reconstruction were performed under the direct vision of laparoscope: (1) Side-to-side esophagojejunostomy: An incision of 0.5 cm was made in the left lower edge of the esophageal closed end; jejunum about 25 cm distal away from the Treitz ligament was elevated to the lower end of esophagus; another incision of 0.5 cm was made in the contralateral of mesenteric side; both arms of the linear Endo-GIA stapler were inserted into the windows opened through esophagus and jejunum respectively to complete side-to-side anastomosis. The common opening of esophagus and jejunum was closed to complete esophagojejunostomy, forming the chyme outflow tract. (2) Side-to-side Braun jejunojejunostomy: Incisions of 0.5 cm were made in the proximal jejunum about 10 cm away from the esophagojejunal anastomosis and 35-40 cm away from the contralateral of mesenteric side of distal jejunum respectively for proximal-distal side-to-side jejunojejunostomy. The common opening was closed to form the biliopancreatic duodenal juice outflow tract. (3) Closure of the input loop jejunum in the esophagojejunal anastomosis: The input loop jejunum 2-3 cm away from the esophagojejunal anastomosis was closed using the non-blade linear stapler (ATS45NK), and the biliopancreatic duodenal juice reflux was blocked. Clinical data of these patients were collected for retrospective case series study. Surgical and digestive tract functional recovery, perioperative complications, as well as postoperative nutritional status were observed. Moreover, related indexes, such as anastomosis function and tumor recurrence were evaluated through endoscopic and imaging examinations during postoperative follows-up. RESULTS: All the 67 patients completed the surgery successfully. The mean operative time was (259.4±38.5) minutes, digestive tract reconstruction time was (38.2±13.2) minutes, intraoperative blood loss was (73.4±38.4) ml, and number of harvested lymph node was 36.2±14.2. The mean distance from upper resection margin to upper tumor edge was (3.3±1.2) cm, distance from upper resection margin to dentate line was (1.2±0.7) cm, and 1 case had positive upper incisal margin, which became negative after the second resection. Moreover, the average length of the auxiliary incision was (3.2±0.4) cm. The mean postoperative intestinal exhaust time was (52.8±26.4) hours, time to liquid diet was (64.8±28.8) hours, and postoperative hospital stay was (8.4±2.5) days. The morbidity of postoperative complication was 10.4%(7/67). Among these 7 cases, 4 cases were grade IIIa of Clavien-Dindo classification, including 2 with esophagojejunal anastomosis leakage, 1 with duodenal stump leakage, and 1 with abdominal infection, and all these patients were recovered after conservative treatment. All the 67 patients were followed up. The mean nutrition index 12 months after surgery was 53.4±4.2, diameter of esophagojejunal anastomosis was (3.9±0.6) cm, the incidence of Roux-en-Y stasis syndrome was 3.0% (2/67), and the incidence of reflux esophagitis was 4.5% (3/67). No patient had recanalization of the closed input loop of esophagojejunal anastomosis, anastomotic stenosis, obstruction, or tumor recurrence at anastomosis. CONCLUSION Intracavitary URY anastomosis following LTG for digestive tract reconstruction is safe and feasible, leading to fast postoperative recovery of digestive tract function and favorable short-term efficacy.
