Objective:To compare the effects of unilateral thoracic paravertebal block with lidocaine on hemodynamic and the level of consciousness during double lumen endotracheal intubation.Methods:From June to october 2021,a total of 40 patients American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)physical status Ⅰ-Ⅱ,aged 19-65 years,scheduled for elective thoracic sugeries in Peking University Interna-tional Hospital block with under general anesthesia requiring orotracheal intubation were recruited and di-vided into two groups:The double-lumen endobronchial intubation(group C)and double-lumen endo-bronchial intubation after thoracic paravertebal block with lidocaine(group P).After an intravenous an-esthetic induction,the orotracheal double-lumen intubation was performed using a Macintosh direct laryn-goscopy,respectively.Invasive blood pressure(BP)and heart rate(HR)were recorded before and after anesthetic induction,immediately after intubation and 5 min after intubation with 1-minute interval and the intubation time was also noted.Rate-pressure product(RPP)were calculated.Results:After anes-thetic induction,BP and RPP in the two groups decreased significantly compared with their preinduction values.As comparison with their postinduction values,the orotracheal intubation in the two groups caused significant increases in BP,HR and RPP.Diastolic blood pressure(DBP)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)increased significantly and lasted for 1-minute in group C compared with the baseline values.Systolic blood pressure(SBP)was not significant change and DBP increased significantly immediately af-ter intubation in group P.HR of both groups after intubation were significantly higher than their baseline values and lasted for 4 min in group C,HR increased significantly immediately after intubation in group P.SBP,DBP,MAP,HR and RPP after intubation in group P were significantly lower than those of group C during the observation period.The value of BIS was similar between the two groups.Compared with group C,the incidence of SBP greater than 30％and RPP greater than 22 000 was significantly lower in group P in the observation period,and no patient in group P developed RPP greater than 22 000.At the end of the incidence of SBP less than 30％of the basal value and HR less than 30％of the baseline,no severe bradycardia occurred in both groups.Conclusion:During double-lumen endobronchial intubation,unilateral thoracic paravertebal block with lidocaine can provide less hemodynamic response and level of conscionsness.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for inflammatory complications after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer and construct a nomogram model for risk prediction. Methods The clinical data of 402 patients with primary gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent preoperative Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) score, Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) grading, Lumbar 3 Skeletal Muscle Index (L3-SMI) assessment, and serological index testing. Univariate analysis was used to screen for influencing factors of postoperative inflammatory complications of gastric cancer, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine independent risk factors. A nomogram model for predicting postoperative inflammatory complications after radical gastrectomy was constructed based on the results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and the predictive performance of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve. Results Univariate analysis revealed that age, TNM stage, body mass index, preoperative hemoglobin, preoperative albumin, preoperative globulin, NRS2002 score, PG-SGA grade, and L3-SMI were influencing factors of postoperative inflammatory complications in patients undergoing radical gastrectomy (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≤60 years, preoperative hemoglobin ≤130 g/L(male) or ≤115 g/L(female), TNM staging of Ⅳ stage, NRS2002 score≥3, and L3-SMI ≤52.4 cm²/m²(male) or ≤38.5 cm²/m²(female) were independent risk factors for postoperative inflammatory complications in gastric cancer patients (P < 0.05). A nomogram model was constructed based on age, preoperative hemoglobin, TNM stage, and NRS2002 score. The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of the nomogram model was 0.930, with sensitivity and specificity of 93.2% and 89.2%, respectively. The calibration curve demonstrated good consistency between the predicted probability of inflammatory complications and the actual outcomes. Conclusion Age≤60 years, low preoperative hemoglobin, TNM staging of Ⅳ stage, NRS2002 score ≥3, and low L3-SMI are independent risk factors for postoperative inflammatory complications in gastric cancer patients. The nomogram model constructed based on age, preoperative hemoglobin, TNM stage, and NRS2002 score can accurately predict postoperative inflammatory complications after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.

Objective: To compare and correlate the findings of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and arterial spin labeling (ASL) imaging in characterizing parotid gland tumors. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 56 patients with parotid gland tumors evaluated by MR imaging. The true diffusion coefficient (D), pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*), and fraction of perfusion (f) values of IVIM imaging and tumor-to-parotid gland signal intensity ratio (SIR) on ASL imaging were calculated. Spearman rank correlation coefficient, chi-squared, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests with the post-hoc Dunn-Bonferroni method and receiver operating characteristic curve assessments were used for statistical analysis. Results: Malignant parotid gland tumors showed significantly lower D than benign tumors (p = 0.019). Within subgroup analyses, pleomorphic adenomas (PAs) showed significantly higher D than malignant tumors (MTs) and Warthin’s tumors (WTs) (p < 0.001). The D* of WTs was significantly higher than that of PAs (p = 0.031). The f and SIR on ASL imaging of WTs were significantly higher than those of MTs and PAs (p < 0.05). Significantly positive correlation was found between SIR on ASL imaging and f (r = 0.446, p = 0.001). In comparison with f, SIR on ASL imaging showed a higher area under curve (0.853 vs. 0.891) in discriminating MTs from WTs, although the difference was not significant (p = 0.720). Conclusion IVIM and ASL imaging could help differentiate parotid gland tumors. SIR on ASL imaging showed a significantly positive correlation with f. ASL imaging might hold potential to improve the ability to discriminate MTs from WTs.

This study was purposed to assess the effectiveness of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) without in vitro T cell depletion for the treatment of severe aplastic anemia (SAA) in children. Two children with SAA/very SAA (VSAA) received T cell-depleted HSCT from their fathers with 2 loci mismatched in our center between October 2010 and March 2013. During 4 months after onset, both failed in treatment of cyclosporine (CsA)+ granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), had active or serious infections, were transfusion dependent and lacked HLA-identical sibling donors and unrelated donors. The conditioning regimen before HSCT included fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and thymoglobulin. The source of grafts was a combination of G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells and BM. The recipients received CsA, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and short-term MTX for GVHD prophylaxis. Both children with SAA achieved 100% donor myeloid engraftment. Neutrophil engraftment occurred at day 12 and day 18 after transplant respectively. Platelet engraftment occurred at day 17 and day 26 after transplantation respectively. Two patients all developed grade I acute graft versus host disease (GVHD), one of which evolved into chronic limited GVHD well-controlled. Both have survived for two years after transplantation with 100% donor myeloid engraftment and effective lymphoid reconstitution. In conclusion, these limited cases suggest that haploidentical HSCT for children with SAA without a HLA-identical sibling donor and unrelated donor may be feasible. Further prospective clinical study is required to increase the overall survival (OS) by decreasing GVHD while maintaining stable engraftment.
