Background: s/Aims: Distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (DPS) is a common surgical procedure for pancreatic body cancer.However, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) utilizing the Warshaw technique (WT) in malignancies is generally not favored due to concerns about inadequate resection. This study aims to assess the feasibility and oncologic outcomes of employing SPDP with WT in pancreatic body cancer. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis comparing 21 SPDP patients with 63 DPS patients matched by propensity score from January 2018 to November 2022. Clinical outcomes and follow-up data were analyzed using R. Results: Both groups exhibited similar demographic, intraoperative, and pathological characteristics, with the exception of a reduced number of total lymph nodes (p = 0.006) in the SPDP group. There were no significant differences in the rates of postoperative complications, recurrence, or metastasis. Local recurrence predominantly occurred in the central region as opposed to the spleen region.There were no cases of isolated recurrences in the splenic region. Median overall survival and recurrence-free survival times were 51.5 months for SPDP vs 30.5 months for DPS and 18.7 months vs 16.8 months, respectively (p > 0.05). The incidence of partial splenic infarction and left-side portal hypertension in the SPDP group was 28.6% (6/21) and 9.5% (2/21), respectively, without necessitating splenic abscess puncture, splenectomy, or causing bleeding from perigastric varices. Conclusions SPDP did not negatively impact local recurrence or survival rates in selected pancreatic body cancer patients. Further studies are necessary for validation.

As the foremost among the four examinations in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， inspection and related equipment research face challenges in landing and transformation due to variations in evidence quality， lack of standardization， insufficient algorithm transparency， and poor reliability and stability of decision-making. Against the backdrop of rapid development of emerging technologies such as big data， the internet of things， and artificial intelligence， coupled with macro policy support from the government， digital and intelligent generalized inspection in TCM has emerged， with the aim of utilizing digital technologies to overcome the limitations of naked-eye inspection and comprehensively perceive and analyze facial and bodily expressions. The research in this field intelligently correlates Zang-fu organ functions with health conditions and disease progression and establishes a technical system for digital and intelligent inspection， multi-dimensional and multimodal perception， fusion analysis， and decision-making. This system aims to enhance the accuracy of disease risk warning and diagnosis， bridging the gap between inspection equipment and assistance in clinical decision-making. From an evidence-based perspective， this paper systematically examines the research ideas of digital and intelligent inspection and the development of related equipment， deeply explores how to propose clinical practice-oriented key scientific issues， comprehensively acquire and co-apply multi-dimensional data， establish precise inspection models driven by digital intelligence， optimize standards to enhance equipment interoperability and reliability， construct post-effect evaluation mechanisms to promote improvement， and actively address potential risks such as the black box nature and information security in the application of intelligent technology. This paper not only demonstrates the tremendous potential of digital technologies in improving the accuracy and clinical application efficiency of inspection but also provides new perspectives and ideas for the modernization of inspection in TCM， paving the way for the application of inspection in the global medical and health field.

Objective:To determine the total and age-specific cut-off values of total prostate specific antigen (tPSA) and the ratio of free PSA divided total PSA (fPSA/tPSA) for screening prostate cancer in China.Methods:Based on the Chinese Colorectal, Breast, Lung, Liver, and Stomach cancer Screening Trial (C-BLAST) and the Tianjin Common Cancer Case Cohort (TJ4C), males who were not diagnosed with any cancers at baseline since 2017 and received both tPSA and fPSA testes were selected. Based on Cox regression, the overall and age-specific (＜60, 60-＜70, and ≥70 years) accuracy and optimal cut-off values of tPSA and fPSA/tPSA ratio for screening prostate cancer were evaluated with time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (tdROC) and area under curve (AUC). Bootstrap resampling was used to internally validate the stability of the optimal cut-off value, and the PLCO study was used to externally validate the accuracy under different cut-off values.Results:A total of 5 180 participants were included in the study, and after a median follow-up of 1.48 years, a total of 332 prostate cancer patients were included. In the total population, the tdAUC of tPSA and fPSA/tPSA screening for prostate cancer were 0.852 and 0.748, respectively, with the optimal cut-off values of 5.08 ng/ml and 0.173, respectively. After age stratification, the age specific cut-off values of tPSA in the <60, 60-<70, and ≥70 age groups were 3.13, 4.82, and 11.54 ng/ml, respectively, while the age-specific cut-off values of fPSA/tPSA were 0.153, 0.135, and 0.130, respectively. Under the age-specific cut-off values, the sensitivities of tPSA screening for prostate cancer in males <60, 60-70, and ≥70 years old were 92.3%, 82.0%, and 77.6%, respectively, while the specificities were 84.7%, 81.3%, and 75.4%, respectively. The age-specific sensitivities of fPSA/tPSA for screening prostate cancer were 74.4%, 53.3%, and 55.9%, respectively, while the specificities were 83.8%, 83.7%, and 83.7%, respectively. Both bootstrap's internal validation and PLCO external validation provided similar results. The combination of tPSA and fPSA/tPSA could further improve the accuracy of screening.Conclusion:To improve the screening effects, it is recommended that age-specific cut-off values of tPSA and fPSA/tPSA should be used to screen for prostate cancer in the general risk population.

Objective:To investigate the effect of high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet combined with radiotherapy on the tumor microenvironment of mice with lung xenografts.Methods:C57BL/6J mice were selected to establish the Lewis lung cancer model, and they were divided into the normal diet group, the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet group, the normal diet + radiotherapy group, and the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet + radiotherapy group, with 18 mice in each group. The mice in the normal diet group and the normal diet + radiotherapy group were fed with the normal diet with 12.11% fat for energy supply, and the mice in the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet group and the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet + radiotherapy group were fed with high-fat and low-carbohydratediet with 45.00% fat for energy. On the 12th to 14th days, the tumor sites of the mice in the normal diet + radiotherapy group and the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet + radiotherapy group were treated with radiotherapy, and the irradiation dose was 24 Gy/3f. The body weight, tumor volume, blood glucose and blood ketone level, liver and kidney function, and survival status of the mice were observed and monitored. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the tumor-associated microangiogenesis molecule (CD34) and lymphatic endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1 (LYVE-1), Sirius staining was used to detect collagen fibers, and multiplex immunofluorescence was used to detect CD8 and programmed death-1 (PD-1). Expression of immune cell phenotypes (CD3, CD4, CD8, and Treg) was detected by flow cytometry.Results:On the 27th day after inoculation, the body weigh of the common diet group was(24.78±2.22)g, which was significantly higher than that of the common diet + radiotherapy group [(22.15±0.48)g, P=0.030] and high-fat low-carbohydrate diet + radiotherapy group [(22.02±0.77)g, P=0.031)]. On the 15th day after inoculation, the tumor volume of the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet + radiotherapy group was (220.88±130.05) mm 3, which was significantly smaller than that of the normal diet group [(504.37±328.48) mm 3, P=0.042)] and the high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet group [(534.26±230.42) mm 3, P=0.016], but there was no statistically significant difference compared with the normal diet + radiotherapy group [(274.64±160.97) mm 3]. In the 4th week, the blood glucose values of the mice in the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet group were lower than those in the normal diet group, with the value being (8.00±0.36) mmol/L and (9.57±0.40) mmol/L, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P＜0.05). The blood ketone values of the mice in the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet group were higher than those in the normal diet group, with the value being (1.00±0.20) mmol/L and (0.63±0.06) mmol/L, respectively, in the second week. In the third week, the blood ketone values of the two groups of mice were (0.90±0.17) mmol/L and (0.70±0.10) mmol/L, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P＜0.05). On the 30th day after inoculation, there were no significant differences in aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, and urea between the normal diet group and the high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet group (all P＞0.05). The hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys of the mice in each group had no obvious toxic changes and tumor metastasis. In the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet + radiotherapy group, the expression of CD8 was up-regulated in the tumor tissues of mice, and the expressions of PD-1, CD34, LYVE-1, and collagen fibers were down-regulated. The proportion of CD8 + T cells in the paratumoral lymph nodes of the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet + radiotherapy group was (25.13±0.97)%, higher than that of the normal diet group [(20.60±2.23)%, P＜0.050] and the normal diet + radiotherapy group [(19.26±3.07)%, P＜0.05], but there was no statistically significant difference with the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet group [(22.03±1.75)%, P＞0.05]. The proportion, of CD4 + T cells in the lymph nodes adjacent to the tumor in the normal diet + radiotherapy group (31.33±5.16)% and the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet + radiotherapy group (30.63±1.70)% were higher than that in the normal diet group [(20.27±2.15)%, P＜0.05] and the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet group (23.70±2.62, P＜0.05). Treg cells accounted for the highest (16.58±5.10)% of T cells in the para-tumor lymph nodes of the normal diet + radiotherapy group, but compared with the normal diet group, the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet group, and the high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet + radiotherapy group, there was no statistically significant difference (all P＞0.05). Conclusion:High-fat and low-carbohydrate diet plus radiotherapy can enhance the recruitment and function of immune effector cells in the tumor microenvironment, inhibit tumor microangiogenesis, and thus inhibit tumor growth.

Objective:To evaluate the value of implementing a modified reverse puncture procedure for esophagojejunostomy during totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy.Methods:This was a descriptive case series. Relevant clinical data, including the operative procedure, recovery, and pathological findings of 35 patients with gastric cancer who had undergone esophagojejunostomy with a modified reverse puncture technique during totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Fujian Provincial Hospital, from June 2022 to January 2023, were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. The age of all patients in the group was (64.9±8.0) years old, with 22 males (62.9%) and a body mass index of (23.2±2.4) kg/m 2. The tumors were located in the upper and middle parts of the stomach in 24 cases (68.6%) and in the junction of the esophagus and stomach in 11 cases (31.4%). Important technical aspects of the modified reverse puncture procedure are as follows. (1) Site of the esophageal incision: a transverse incision is made across the right lateral wall of the esophagus at the expected site of esophageal disjunction. (2) Technique for inserting an anvil: after threading a silk thread through the tip of anvil, the end of the thread is knotted and fixed as the traction thread, after which an anvil is inserted into the esophagus through the esophageal incision, leaving the end of the traction line exposed. Next, a 60-mm linear cutter is placed through the right midclavicular trocar to straighten the opened esophagus vertically, after which the rod of the anvil is pulled out of a small incision that has been made in the esophagus by pulling the traction thread, thus completing anvil placement. (3) Jejunal binding: the jejunum on the central bar of the stapler is fastened with silk thread to the stump of the jejunum, and then tied to the output loop of the jejunum with a gauze strip. Results:All 35 surgeries were successful, with no mortality or conversion to laparotomy. The operation time, anvil insertion time, and digestive tract reconstruction time were (232.7±34.4), (8.5±1.4), and (40.5±4.8) minutes, respectively. The intraoperative blood loss was 100 (20–250) mL and the incision was (5.3±0.9) cm long. The upper surgical margin was negative in all patients and the mean distance between the upper and tumor margins was (3.5±1.2) cm. The mean number of lymph nodes dissected per patient was 33.9±7.1. The times to initial ambulation, initial passage of flatus , postoperative fluid intake, and length of postoperative hospital stay were (3.2±1.1), (3.7±1.5), (4.6±2.3), and (9.8±3.2) days, respectively. Postoperative complications occurred in five patients: one case of anastomotic leak, two of anastomotic stenosis, one of pulmonary infection, and one of incomplete intestinal obstruction, all of which were successfully managed conservatively.Conclusion:Esophagojejunostomy using a modified reverse puncture technique during totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy is safe and feasible for gastric cancer, requiring only a small incision and achieving higher upper esophageal resection margins and good postoperative recovery, and therefore warrants further implementation.

Objective To explore the value of serum soluble transferrin receptor(sTFR)and urinary tryp-sin inhibitor(Bikunin)in assessing the short-term prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus related acute on chronic live failure(HBV-ACLF).Methods A total of 103 patients with HBV-ACLF admitted to Weifang People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected as HBV-ACLF group,who were classi-fied into early stage group(n=46),middle stage group(n=34)and late stage group(n=23)according to the disease progression,and classified into good prognosis group(n=67)and poor prognosis group(n=36)according to clinical outcomes at 30 d after hospital admission.At the same time,65 patients with chronic hep-atitis B virus infection were selected as chronic hepatitis B group and 65 healthy volunteers were selected as control group were enrolled in the study.The clinical medical records of research objects were collected at the time of admission.Serum sTFR and Bikunin levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Spearman rank correlation analysis was performed to analyze the association between serum sTFR,Bikunin and disease progression.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze factors affecting short-term poor prognosis of patients with HBV-ACLF.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to assess the predictive value of serum sTFR and Bikunin on prognosis.Results Serum sTFR and Bikun-in levels were lower in HBV-ACLF group and chronic hepatitis B group than those in control group,and those in HBV-ACLF group were lower than those in chronic hepatitis B group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Model for End-Stage Liver Disease(MELD)score was higher in HBV-ACLF group and chronic hepatitis B group than that in control group,and that in HBV-ACLF group was higher than that in chronic hepatitis B group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with early stage group,serum sTFR and Bikunin levels decreased in middle stage group and late stage group,and those in late stage group were lower than those in middle stage group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).MELD score increased in middle stage group and late stage group,and that in late stage group was higher than that in middle stage group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Serum sTFR and Bikunin in HBV-ACLF patients were associated with MELD score(r=-0.638,-0.592,P＜0.05),which were also associated with severity of disease(rs=-0.722,-0.671,P＜0.05).Elevated HB-sAg,elevated quantitative HBV DNA,middle and late stages of HBV-ACLF and elevated MELD score were independent risk factors for poor short-term prognosis in patients with HBV-ACLF(OR＞1,P＜0.05),while elevated serum sTFR and Bikunin were protective factors for poor short-term prognosis in patients with HBV-ACLF(OR＜1,P＜0.05).Serum sTFR and Bikunin both had some predictive value for poor short-term prog-nosis,and the predictive value of the combination was greater than that of single indicator(Z=2.139,2.165,P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum sTFR and Bikunin levels are decreased in patients with HBV-ACLF,which are associated with disease progression and short-term prognosis.Early combined detection of two indicators could predict the risk of poor prognosis in patients with HBV-ACLF at 30 d after hospital admission.
