Laparoscopic colorectal surgery has been carried out in China for more than 30 years and has experienced a three-stage high-speed development of "exploring and designing,optimising and standardising, perfecting and re-innovating" at the technical level. Based on the support and assistance of laparoscopic technology, colorectal surgery has made rapid progress in sub-microscopic anatomy, surgical procedures, surgical concepts, instruments and equipment. Nowadays, the technology and efficacy of laparoscopic colorectal surgery have gradually reached the ceiling, and in view of the existing pain points and the future direction of development, where will we go? This article summarised the past three decades of experience and consolidate the results to guide the future practice and the way forward.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Marsdenia tenacissima in the treatment of breast cancer through network pharmacology and experimental verification.Methods Literature retrieval was conducted to obtain the active components of Marsdenia tenacissima.The SwissTargetPrediction database was used to predict the potential targets of these active components.Targets of breast cancer were obtained from GeneCards,GEPIA2,OMIM,PharmGKB and TTD databases.The intersection targets were obtained,and a Marsdenia tenacissima-breast cancer-targets network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.0 software.The core targets were identified through protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis,followed by GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis to screen relevant signaling pathways.Molecular docking validation was performed for the top 10 key targets and major active components.The human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was treated with Marsdenia tenacissima injection in vitro.Cell proliferation ability was detected by CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay.Cell apoptosis was detected by Calcein-AM/PI staining and flow cytometry.Cell migration ability was detected by Transwell assay.Western blot experiment was used to validate the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.Results Totally 37 active components and 276 potential targets against breast cancer were screened from Marsdenia tenacissima,including 11alpha-O-Benzoyl-12beta-O-acetyl tenacigenin B,Caffeic acid,Drevogenin A and Kaempferol.25 core targets were screened by PPI network such as AKT1,EGFR,TNF,CTNNB1 and IL-6,which mainly affected the estrogen signaling pathway,ErbB signaling pathway,HIF-1 signaling pathway and PI3K-AKT signaling pathway,etc.The molecular docking results showed that the main active components of Marsdenia tenacissima exhibited good binding activities with the core targets AKT1,ALB,CASP3,ESR1 and TNF.The results of in vitro experiments showed that Marsdenia tenacissima injection could inhibit the proliferation and migration ability of MDA-MB-231 cells(P<0.01,P<0.001)and induce apoptosis(P<0.001),as well as inhibit the activation of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Marsdenia tenacissima may exert its anti-breast cancer effects through multiple targets and pathways,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the impact of hemoglobin(Hb)level on the risk of all-cause mortality in elderly patients with stable coronary artery disease(SCAD)treated by percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 195 elderly SCAD patients treated by PCI in our hospital from June 2016 to December 2017,a total of 180 case were followed up.They were divided into four groups based on quartiles of Hb levels:Q1 group[≤122(108.28±12.53)g/L,n=47],Q2 group[122＜Hb≤137(130.07±4.33)g/L,n=43],Q3 group[137＜Hb≤148(142.67±3.10)g/L,n=46],and Q4 group[＞148(158.36±8.50)g/L,n=44].Their clinical data were collected and compared among the groups.All patients were followed up,with all-cause mortality as endpoint.Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the impact of Hb level on all-cause mortality in elderly SCAD patients treated by PCI.Results For the 180 patients with complete follow-up,the median follow-up time was 703(415,1121)d,and the incidence of all-cause mortality was 10.00％(totally 18 deaths).And the incidence was 25.50％(12 deaths),7.00％(3 death),4.30％(2 deaths)and 2.30％(1 death)in Q1,Q2,Q3,and Q4 groups,respectively,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.01).Univariate Cox regression analysis showed age was a risk factor for all-cause death(P＜0.01),while Hb level,BMI,smoking history,dyslipidemia,and aspirin use were a risk facotr for all-cause death(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Further multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed Hb level was a risk facotr for all-cause death(HR=0.96,95％CI:0.93-0.99,P＜0.01).The risk of all-cause mortality was 3.68 times higher in the Q1 group than the Q2 group(HR=3.68,95％CI:1.01-13.45,P＜0.05),and there was no correlation in the incidence between the Q3 and Q4 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Low Hb level is an independent predictor for all-cause mortality in elderly SCAD pa-tients after PCI.

Objective To investigate the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes(BMSCs-Exo)on the regulation of epithelia-mesenchymal transition(EMT)in human peritoneal mesothelial cells(HPMCs)treated with glucose-based peritoneal dialysis fluid(PDF).Methods BMSCs-Exo were verified by transmission electron microscopy(TEM),nanoparticle tracking analyzer(NTA)and Western blot.Cultured HPMCs(HMrSV5)were divided into 5 groups;control group,high glucose-based PDF(1.5％,2.5％,and 4.25％)group,siNLRP3 group,siNC group and BMSCs-Exo treated group.Expression of E-cadherin,vimentin,α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)and NLRP3 inflammasome-related proteins were detected by Western blot.Real time RT-PCR was used to detected the expression of α-SMA,E-cadherin and TGF-β1 mRNAs in HMrSV5 cells.The concentration of TGF-β1,IL-1 β and IL-18 in the culture supernatant was determined by ELISA.Results The exosomes isolated were spherical and double-membrane vesicles with 40-150 nm in diameter,which expressed CD9,CD81,TSG101 and Alix protein.Our results showed that the level of α-SMA and vimentin were significantly up-regulated and E-cadherin(epithelial marker)was significantly decreased in HMrSV5 cells treated with high glucose PDF com-pared with the normal HMrSV5 cells.The expression of NLRP3,pro-caspase-1 and pro-IL-1β were also significantly up-regulated in HMrSV5 cells treated with high glucose PDF compared with the normal HMrSV5 cells.The level of TGF-β1,IL-1 β and IL-18 in high glucose PDF treated HMrSV5 cells culture supernatant was up-regulated in a dose dependent manner.The protein level of α-SMA was decreased and E-cadherin level was increased by an NLRP3 siRNA to inhibit the activation of NLRP3.Compared with 4.25％PDF treated cells,E-cadherin expression was up-regulated,while the expression of α-SMA and vimentin were down-regulated in BMSCs-Exo treatment cells(P＜0.05).Furthermore,the protein expression of NLRP3,pro-caspase-1 and pro-IL-1β in 4.25％PDF-treated HMrSV5 cells were significantly reduced by BMSCs-Exo.BMSCs-Exo also reduced the level of TGF-β1,IL-1 β and IL-8 in the 4.25％PDF-treated HMrSV5 cells culture supernatants(P＜0.05).Conclusions High glucose PDF-induced EMT in HPMCs might be mediated by NLRP3 inflammatory signaling pathway,which can be inhibited by BMSCs-Exo.

Objective To analyze the pathological types and causes of misdiagnosis of thyroglossal duct cyst(TGDC).Methods The clinical data of 173 patients diagnosed with TGDC before operation in Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2013 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Combined with postoperative pathology,a total of 15 patients were found to be misdiagnosed before operation,and the causes of misdiagnosis were summarized.Results The pathological types of 14 misdiagnosed cases in-cluded seven cases of dermoid cyst,three cases of thyroglossal duct papillary carcinoma,one case of accessory thyroid gland,one case of nodular goiter with intracapsular hemorrhage,one case of cervical lymphadenitis and one case of inflammatory nodule.All the 14 patients underwent standard Sistrunk surgery,and regular follow-up after surgery showed no hypothyroidism,recurrence or metastasis.Preoperative static thyroid imaging proved that the neck mass was vago thyroid in one patient,and surgery was not performed to avoid hypothy-roidism or parathyroidism caused by surgery.Conclusion Misdiagnosis of TGDC as other diseases is rare,cli-nicians should raise awareness to avoid the adverse consequences caused by blind operation.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of uric acid(UA)to albumin(Alb)ratio(UAR)in predicting the prognosis of the patients with heart failure.Methods A total of 1 893 patients with heart failure and complete clinical data in the Chinese Heart Failure Database were selected as the clinical research subjects for conducting the retrospective cohort analysis.The general clinical data,coagulation routine,tropo-nin Ⅰ(cTnⅠ),cardiac enzyme profile,liver function,B-type brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),uric acid(UA)and left ventricular ejection fraction in echocardiography in the study subjects were collected to calculate UAR.Ac-cording to the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,the optimal cut-off value of UAR was selected as 17.48.Then the subjects were divided into the low UAR group(UAR＜17.48,n=1 525)and high UAR group(UAR≥17.48,n=368).The clinical data were compared between the two groups,and the effect of UAR on the all-cause mortality in the patients with heart failure was evaluated by the binary logistic regres-sion analysis.Results The follow up time in the patients was 90 d,and 37 cases(2.0％)of all-cause death oc-curred during the follow up period.The proportion of males,proportion of cardiac function grade Ⅳ,propor-tion of myocardial infarction,levels of uric acid,D-dimer,creatine kinase(CK),creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT),alkaline phosphatase(AKP)and BNP in the high UAR group were higher than those in the low UAR group,while the pulse,systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,proportions of heart function grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ and ALB level were lower than those in the UAR group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve of UAR for assessing the all-cause death occurrence in heart failure was 0.715(95％CI:0.626-0.804,P＜0.001),the sensitivity was 56.8％and the specificity was 81.4％;the binary logistic regression analysis results showed that the incidence rate of all-cause mortality in the high UAR group was 1.09 times higher than that in the low UAR group(OR=1.09,95％CI:1.02-1.20,P=0.017).Conclusion UAR could serve as an independent predictive fac-tor of all-cause death occurrence in heart failure,which needs clinic to pay attention.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of C reactive protein(CRP)to high-density lipo-protein-cholesterol(HDL-C)ratio(CHR)in predicting the all-cause mortality after percutaneous coronary in-tervention(PCI)in the patients with stable coronary artery disease(SCAD).Methods A total of 189 patients with SCAD undergoing PCI admitted and treated in this hospital were selected as the study subjects.The pa-tients'data were collected,including the history of hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia,smoking,drug use,etc.,and the relevant indicators such as electrocardiogram,echocardiography,liver function,renal function,blood lipids,blood glucose,Hb,CRP,post-discharge drug treatment regimen and out-of-hospital follow-up re-sults were recorded.The CHR level of the patients was calculated,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of CHR was plotted,the grouping was performed according to the cutoff value and the clinical data were compared between the two groups.The Kaplan-Meier survival curve and multivariate Cox risk mod-el were used to analyze the relationship between CHR and all-cause mortality events.Results The follow-up time was 730 d,and 16 cases of all-cause death occurred during the follow-up period.The area under the curve(AUC)of CHR for predicting the all-cause mortality was 0.833(95％CI:0.735-0.930,P＜0.001),and the cut-off value was 2.446.The grouping was performed according to CHR=2.446,there were 52 cases in the high CHR group(CHR≥2.446)and 137 cases in the low CHR group(CHR＜2.446).The diastolic blood pressure level,CRP level and proportion of all-cause mortality in the high CHR group were higher than those in the low CHR group,and the proportion of diabetes mellitus,Hb level,TC level and HDL-C level were lower than those in the low CHR group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The results of Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the incidence rate of all-cause mortality in the high CHR group was higher than that in the low CHR group(Log-Rank x2=26.127,P＜0.001).The multivariate Cox regres-sion analysis results showed that CHR was the independent influencing factor of the occurrence of all-cause mortality after adjusting age,gender,diastolic blood pressure,diabetes mellitus,left ventricular ejection frac-tion,Hb and TC(P＜0.05).Conclusion CHR is an independent predictive factor of all-cause mortality after PCI in the patients with SCAD,and clinic needs to pay attention to.

Objective To establish a prognostic model for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) based on genes associated with the disulfidptosis (DS) pathway, and to elucidate its potential biological mechanisms. Methods LUAD-related gene sequencing and clinical information were sourced from public databases.The correlation between results of gene set variation analysis (GSVA) and mRNA expression in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset was used to screen genes that were significantly active in the disulfur death (DS) pathway.The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) analysis and Random Forest (RF) algorithm were employed to screen out DS pathway prognosis-related genes (DPRGs) and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to construct risk score (RS) model, which was validated using external GEO datasets.The samples were divided into high and low-risk groups based on the median score of RS.A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network corresponding to 7 DPRGs was established, with LDHA identified as the protein with the most interactions, thereby further investigating its function and expression patterns. Results In this study, 7 DPRGs were screened, including SLC2A1, LDHA, SNAI2 and ACO2, FGF12, ANP32B and ST13.The prognostic model constructed based on these genes exhibited high validation efficiency.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed significant differences in overall survival of patients between high-risk group and low-risk group in four datasets.Differential expression gene enrichment analysis between the high-risk and low-risk groups showed that these genes were enriched in pathways such as the p53 signaling pathway and cell cycle. Results of real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry indicated that LDHA expression levels were elevated in LUAD tissue compared to normal tissues. Conclusion The LUAD model established based on DPRGs can effectively predict patients'prognosis, potentially offering insights into the treatment and prognosis of LUAD patients.
