Objective To systematically evaluate and integrate qualitative research related to the psychological experiences and perceptions of body image in bum patients.The goal is to provide a reference basis for developing targeted intervention measures in clinical practice.Methods The databases of CNKI,Wanfang,VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database,China Biomedical Literature Service System,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Medline,Cochrane Library,PsycINFO,and Scopus were applied in our study.Relevant qualitative studies on the body image experience of burn patients from the establishment of the databases until December 2022 were collected.The quality of the included literature was assessed using the 2016 edition of the Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI)Centre for Evidence-based Health Care in Australia,and the results of the literature were integrated using aggregative integration.Results A total of 12 pieces of literature were included,from which 40 research findings were extracted.These findings were ultimately summarized into 4 integrated results:diverse traumatic perceptions of body image changes faced by burn patients,active exploration and negative coping strategies towards body image changes faced by burn patients,emotional information needs and post-traumatic growth.Conclusion Burn patients experience various body image issues that hinder their return to normal life.It is crucial for healthcare professionals to timely attend to the physical and mental well-being of the patients,identify body image disorders,assist families in meeting emotional needs,support patients in self-adjustment,and promote positive outcomes.

Objective To investigate whether fenoldopam(FNDP)(an agonist of type 1 dopamine receptor)has a protective effect on thoracic aortic aneurysm(TAA)in mice.Methods Three-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were treated with β-aminopropionitrile(BAPN)to induce TAA.The mice were divided into three groups:the con-trol group,the BAPN group,and the BAPN+FNDP group(FNDP injected intraperitoneally).The incidence and survival rate of TAA were recorded.Gross anatomy of the whole aortae was observed.Elastin staining was per-formed to assess morphological change,while immunohistochemistry was employed to evaluate the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP2),matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP9)and cluster of differentiation 68(CD68)respectively.Gelatin zymography was conducted to assess MMP2 and MMP9 activity.Reverse transcription-poly-merase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was performed to measure the mRNA expression levels of dopamine receptor D1(D1DR),dopamine receptor d2(D2DR),dopamine receptor d3(D3DR),dopamine receptor d5(D5DR),in-terleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumour necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),monocyte chemoattractant pro-tein-1(MCP-1),alpha-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)and smooth muscle protein 22-alpha(SM22α).Results Compared to the control group,the BAPN group exhibited significant formation of TAA.Elastic fiber disruption was also observed in the thoracic aortic wall,along with a significant decrease in the mRNA levels of D1DR and D5DR.The BAPN+FNDP group showed a significant reduction in the incidence of TAA formation and the rate of aneu-rysm rupture compared to the BAPN group.The disruption and rupture of elastic fibers in the thoracic aortic wall were significantly improved in the BAPN+FNDP group.The levels of MMP2 and MMP9 in the thoracic aortic wall significantly decreased,and the enzymatic activity of MMP2 in the serum was significantly reduced.Moreover,macrophage infiltration in the thoracic aortic wall was significantly reduced and the mRNA levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α and MCP-1 also significantly decreased after FNDP treatment.There was no statistically significant differ-ence in the mRNA levels of α-SMA and SM22α.Conclusion FNDP shows an inhibitory effect on TAA progres-sion in mice,suggesting a potential of FNDP as a therapeutic agent for TAA.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness for the construction of "mosquito-free village" in Xuejia Village, Pujiang County, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the guidance for the construction of "mosquito-free village" in other rural areas. Methods: Density of adult mosquitoes in Xuejia Village was investigated using light trap method and density of larval mosquitoes was investigated using larval straw method from April to November each year. Totally 30 households of villagers were randomly selected, and their awareness rates of mosquito control knowledge, mosquito control behavior forming rates and satisfaction rates were surveyed through questionnaires. Investment during construction (from August 2016 to December 2018) and maintenance period (from 2019 to 2023) of "mosquito-free village" were investigated through data review and interviews. Long-term effects of "mosquito-free village" construction in Xuejia Village were evaluated in terms of mosquito density from 2016 to 2023, effectiveness of health education for villagers, satisfaction and investment. Results: Compared with the year 2016, the densities of adult and larval mosquitoes in Xuejia Village were significantly decreased from 2017 to 2023. The average monthly density of adult mosquitoes in 2023 decreased by 98.34%, and the average monthly 100 household index of larval mosquitoes decreased by 98.45% compared to 2016. The average monthly density of adult mosquitoes from 2019 to 2023 was less than or equal to one mosquito per light trap in a night, and the average monthly 100 household index of larval mosquitoes was less than or equal to five places per 100 households. The awareness rate of mosquito control knowledge was 93.33%, the behavior forming rate was 86.67%, and the satisfaction rate was 90.00%. By December 2023, the total investment during construction and maintenance period was 450 thousand Yuan, with an average annual investment of 60.7 thousand Yuan and average annual investment of 206.61 Yuan per household. The average annual investment during maintenance period was 36.2 thousand Yuan, and the average annual investment per household was 109.70 Yuan. Conclusion The mosquito density, effectiveness of health education for villagers and satisfaction of "mosquito-free village" in Xuejia Village all meet the evaluation criteria of "mosquito-free village", and the investment is reasonable, making it suitable for promotion to other rural areas.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and prognostic factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) .Methods:In this multicenter, retrospective clinical study, adult patients aged ≥18 years who underwent allo-HSCT for sAML at four centers of the Zhejiang Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Collaborative Group from January 2014 to November 2022 were included, and the efficacy and prognostic factors of allo-HSCT were analyzed.Results:A total of 95 patients were enrolled; 66 (69.5%) had myelodysplastic syndrome-acute myeloid leukemia (MDS-AML) , 4 (4.2%) had MDS/MPN-AML, and 25 (26.3%) had therapy-related AML (tAML) . The 3-year CIR, LFS, and overall survival (OS) rates were 18.6% (95% CI 10.2%-27.0%) , 70.6% (95% CI 60.8%-80.4%) , and 73.3% (95% CI 63.9%-82.7%) , respectively. The 3-year CIRs of the M-AML group (including MDS-AML and MDS/MPN-AML) and the tAML group were 20.0% and 16.4%, respectively ( P=0.430) . The 3-year LFSs were 68.3% and 75.4%, respectively ( P=0.176) . The 3-year OS rates were 69.7% and 75.4%, respectively ( P=0.233) . The 3-year CIRs of the groups with and without TP53 mutations were 60.0% and 13.7%, respectively ( P=0.003) ; the 3-year LFSs were 20.0% and 76.5%, respectively ( P=0.002) ; and the 3-year OS rates were 40.0% and 77.6%, respectively ( P=0.002) . According to European LeukmiaNet 2022 (ELN2022) risk stratification, the 3-year CIRs of patients in the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups were 8.3%, 17.8%, and 22.6%, respectively ( P=0.639) . The three-year LFSs were 91.7%, 69.5%, and 65.6%, respectively ( P=0.268) . The 3-year OS rates were 91.7%, 71.4%, and 70.1%, respectively ( P=0.314) . Multivariate analysis revealed that advanced disease at allo-HSCT and TP53 mutations were independent risk factors for CIR, LFS, and OS. Conclusion:There was no significant difference in the prognosis of patients who underwent allo-HSCT among the MDS-AML, MDS/MPN-AML, and tAML groups. Advanced disease at transplantation and TP53 mutations were poor prognostic factors. ELN2022 risk stratification had limited value for predicting the prognosis of patients with sAML following allo-HSCT.

As an emerging field, foregut surgery has gained increasing attention internationally, focusing currently on benign foregut diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), achalasia, and obesity. Ever since 2018, the establishment of independent foregut societies in the United States, Europe, and Japan has significantly propelled the advancement of foregut surgery as a distinct specialty. In China, foregut surgery has developed relatively late and the concept has not been widely promoted domestically. As the spectrum of diseases changes among the Chinese population, the number of physicians and surgeons involved in the diagnosis and treatment of foregut disease is steadily increasing. There is an urgent need to unite relevant forces to promote the development of foregut surgery as an independent discipline, so as to provide optimal care for patients with foregut diseases.

Objective:To explore the long-term efficacy of laparoscopic fundoplication for proton pump inhibitor dependent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Method:Clinical data of proton pump inhibitor dependent GERD patients who underwent fundoplication at the Rocket Force Characteristic Medical Center from Jan to Jun 2012 were analyzed, including GERD symptom score, subjective symptom relief rate, PPI discontinuation rate and surgical satisfaction, as well as recurrence and complications.Result:A total of 160 GERD patients were included in this study, with 64% of patients having respiratory symptoms. Nissen and Toupet fundoplication were performed in 43 and 117 cases, respectively, with a follow-up time of (127±3) months. The postoperative GERD symptom scores of the patients were significantly lower than before treatment (all P<0.001); The subjective relief of overall symptoms in the digestive tract and airway problem was 90% (80%, 100%) and 100%, respectively. The PPI discontinuation rate was 86%, and the overall satisfaction rate of the treatment was 92%, and the satisfaction rate of patients with respiratory symptoms was 89%. 7% of patients experienced varying degrees of symptomatic recurrence, 4% of patients re-underwent endoscopic treatment and/or laparoscopic fundoplication due to symptom recurrence. The incidence of long-term postoperative dysphagia, bloating, belching, increased exhaust, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation were 11.3%, 16.9%, 0, 1.3%, 0, 2.5%, and 5.6%, respectively. Conclusions:Laparoscopic fundoplication has good long-term efficacy in the treatment of GERD. A small number of patients may experience postoperative recurrence, as well as complications such as dysphagia and gas-bloat syndrome. Most recurrent patients can achieve good therapeutic effect by redoing endoscopic treatment or redoing surgery.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of domestically produced magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) for gastroesophageal reflux disease.Method:This study is a prospective cohort study. Patients with typical heartburn and reflux symptoms (at least partial response to proton pump inhibitors), abnormal esophageal acid exposure and normal esophageal peristalsis were included, prospectively in the Department of Gastroesophageal Surgery, Rocket Force Characteristic Medical Center from June 2019 to September 2022. Patients with hiatal hernia >2 cm and severe esophagitis were excluded. The MSA was wrapped around the distal esophagus after esophageal hiatus repair by laparoscopy. A postoperative questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the relief of symptom, complications, the discontinuation rate of proton pump inhibitor, and surgical satisfaction. Gastroscopy, high-resolution esophageal pressure measurement, and pH value impedance monitoring were also reviewed. The pre- and postoperative rates were compared using the McNeinar χ2 test. Result:Currently, 23 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease were enrolled and underwent MSA surgery. There were 20 males and 3 females, aged ( M (IQR)) 48 (14) years (range: 25 to 64 years). All cases were successfully implanted with MSA. Subjective indicators were followed for 17 (18) months (range: 14 to 53 months), while objective indicators were followed for 17 (1) months (range: 12 to 23 months). The postoperative gastrointestinal and extraesophageal symptom scores showed a significant decrease compared to preoperative levels as follows: the degree of subjective relief of overall digestive symptoms was 90 (20)% (range:0~100%), the degree of subjective relief of overall respiratory symptoms was 100(10)% (range: 10%~100%), the overall satisfaction rate was 83% (19/23), the proton pump inhibitor discontinuation rate was 70% (16/23). The proportion of esophagitis has decreased from 44% (10/23) to 9% (2/23) ( κ=0.169, P=0.039), The Hill grade of gastroesophageal valve morphology improved from 1 case of grade Ⅰ, 5 cases of grade Ⅱ, 10 cases of grade Ⅲ, and 7 cases of grade Ⅲ preoperative to 22, 1, 0, and 0 cases postoperative. The proportion of lower esophageal sphincter pressure below normal has decreased from 70% (16/23) to 35% (8/23) ( κ=0.170, P=0.012). There were 21 patients who restored normal esophageal acid exposure. Eleven patients had mild long-term dysphagia, but it didn′t affect their daily life. No postoperative device migration, erosion, or secondary surgical removal occurred. Conclusions:Laparoscopic implantation of the MSA device was safe and well tolerated. It can effectively control the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, reduce medication, restore normal cardia morphology and function, and esophageal acid exposure. The main postoperative complication was dysphagia, but it was relatively mild.

Objective:To analyze the new value of gastroscopy in the diagnosis of esophageal hiatal hernia(EHH).Methods:From March 7 to September 24 in 2019, 194 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease who received endoscopy and high resolution esophageal manometry (HREM) at the Department of Gastroesophageal Surgery, the PLA Rocket Force Medical Center were selected. The transverse diameter of esophageal hiatus and the upward length of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) were measured under endoscopy, and the relevant data of reflux esophagitis (RE) and length and pressure of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) were collected. The value of traditional method under endoscopy and esophageal hiatus transverse diameter (EHTD) method under endoscopy in the diagnosis of EHH was compared. Independent sample- t test, rank sum test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The detection rate of EHH by EHTD method under endescopy was higher than that by traditional method under endoscopy and HREM method (60.8%, 118/194 vs. 14.9%, 29/194 and 37.1%, 72/194), and the detection rate of EHH by HREM method was higher than that by traditional method under endoscopy, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=86.75, 21.82, and 24.75; all P<0.001). The proportion of RE, the upward length of EGJ and the transverse diameter of esophageal hiatus of EHH patients diagnosed by traditional method under endoscopy and EHTD method under endoscopy were all higher than those of non-EHH patients (79.3%, 23/29 vs. 28.5%, 47/165; 49.2%, 58/118 vs. 15.8%, 12/76; 2.0 (2.0, 3.0) cm vs. 0.4(0, 0.7) cm, 0.7(0, 1.6) cm vs. 0(0, 0.6) cm; (2.60±0.71) cm vs. (1.88±0.44) cm, (2.30±0.45) cm vs. (1.51±0.29) cm); the minimum resting pressure of LES and resting pressure of LES were both lower than those of non-EHH patients(3.7(0.3, 12.1) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. 9.1(3.3, 14.2) mmHg, 6.4(2.2, 12.5) mmHg vs. 10.8 (4.7, 15.5) mmHg; (9.70±7.92) mmHg vs. (14.92±10.30) mmHg, (11.36±7.79) mmHg vs. (18.44±11.78) mmHg); the length of intraperitoneal LES were shorter than that of non-EHH patients (0(0, 1.4) cm vs. 1.1(0, 1.7) cm, 0.3(0, 1.5) cm vs. 1.3(0.4, 1.8) cm); the length of LES of EHH patients diagnosed by EHTD method under endoscopy was shorter than that of non-EHH patients ((2.83±0.63) cm vs. (3.10±0.66) cm), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=26.53 and 22.31, Z=-8.26 and-5.04, t=5.26 and 13.67, Z=-2.14 and-2.71, t=-2.59 and-4.63, Z=-2.58 and-3.60, t=-2.96; all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in gender, LES length, intraperitoneal LES length, minimum resting pressure of LES, resting pressure of LES and residual pressure of LES between EHH patients diagnosed by EHTD method and traditional method under endoscopy (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Endoscopy plays a significant role in the diagnosis of EHH. EHTD method under endoscopy is more accurate in the diagnosis of sliding EHH, which is worthy of clinical reference.
