ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of omental wrapping technique for pancreaticojejunal anastomosis in preventing complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy. MethodsThis study was conducted according to the PRISMA guideline. English and Chinese databases including CNKI， Wanfang Data， VIP， CBM， the Cochrane Library， PubMed， Embase， and Web of Science were searched for clinical studies on omental wrapping technique for pancreaticojejunal anastomosis in preventing complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy published up to November 2022， and Stata 16 and Review Manager 5.4 were used to perform the meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 15 studies with 1 830 patients were included in this study. The meta-analysis showed that the omental wrapping group had a significantly lower overall incidence rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula （POPF） than the non-omental wrapping group （odds ratio ［OR］=0.30， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.22‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.41， P<0.001）， and the subgroup analysis showed that the omental wrapping group had a significantly lower incidence rate of grade B/C POPF than the non-omental wrapping group （OR=0.29， 95%CI： 0.21‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.39， P<0.001）. Compared with the non-omental wrapping group， the omental wrapping group had significantly lower incidence rates of postoperative bile leakage （OR=0.30， 95%CI： 0.16‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.56， P<0.001）， postoperative hemorrhage （OR=0.35， 95%CI： 0.24‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.53， P<0.001）， delayed gastric emptying （OR=0.45， 95%CI： 0.31‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.64， P<0.001）， abdominal infection （OR=0.55， 95%CI： 0.40‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.75， P<0.001）， reoperation （OR=0.31， 95%CI： 0.18‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.54， P<0.001）， and death within 30 days after surgery （OR=0.42， 95%CI： 0.22‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.80， P=0.009）， a significantly earlier time to diet （mean difference ［MD］=-0.98， 95%CI： -1.84 to -0.11， P=0.03）， and a significantly shorter length of postoperative hospital stay （MD=-2.44， 95%CI： -4.10 to -0.77， P=0.004）. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the time of operation （MD=-13.68， 95%CI： -28.31 to -0.95， P=0.07） and intraoperative blood loss （MD=-17.26， 95%CI： -57.55 to -23.03， P=0.40）. ConclusionOmental wrapping can reduce the incidence rates of postoperative complications such as pancreatic fistula， bile leakage， postoperative hemorrhage， abdominal infection， and delayed gastric emptying， improve the prognosis of patients， and shorten the length of hospital stay， without increasing surgical difficulty or time of operation.

ObjectiveTo explore the protective effect and mechanism of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens alcohol extract on lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced acute lung injury in mice. MethodBalb/c mice were randomly divided into normal group， model group， dexamethasone group， and low- and high-dose Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens groups. Mice in the normal group were instilled with normal saline through the nose， and the other groups were instilled with normal saline containing LPS （50 μg）. After 30 minutes of modeling， the dexamethasone group was gavaged with 5 mg·kg^-1 of dexamethasone acetate solution， the low- and high-dose Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens groups were gavaged with different doses of （7， 14 g·kg^-1） of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens alcohol extract， and the normal group and the model group were gavaged with the same volume of water. After 24 hours of modeling， the total number of white blood cells in bronchoalceolar lavage fluid （BALF） was detected by cell counter， and the levels of the inflammatory factors including tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， interleukin （IL）-1β， IL-6， and superoxide dismutase （SOD）， and myeloperoxidase （MPO） was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Haematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining method was used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissue in each group， and the Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of nuclear transcription factor （NF）-κB p65， phosphorylation （p）-NF-κB p65， and Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4） in lung tissue. ResultCompared with the normal group， the white blood cell count in BALF and the levels of TNF-α， IL-1β， IL-6， and MPO in the model group was increased （P<0.01）， and the level of SOD was decreased （P<0.05）. Pathological damage of lung tissue was obvious， and the protein expression of NF-κB p65， p-NF-κB p65， and TLR4 in lung tissue was increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the white blood cell count in BALF and the levels of TNF-α， IL-1β， IL-6， and MPO in the treatment group was decreased （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and the level of SOD was increased （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Pathological damage of lung tissue was alleviated， and the protein expression of NF-κB p65， p-NF-κB p65， and TLR4 in lung tissue was decreased （P<0.01）. ConclusionZingiberis Rhizoma Recens alcohol extract may play a protective role in LPS-induced acute lung injury in mice by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective:To determine the correlation of tumor volume and weight with biochemical parameters in patients with parathyroid adenoma (PA) .Methods:A prospective electronic database collected clinical data on 208 patients with PA treated for the first time by surgery at department of general surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College.The relationship between biochemical parameters and tumor volume and weight was analyzed with Spearman’s correlation.Results:Tumor volume and weight were positively correlated with parathyroid hormone (PTH) ( r=0.33, P<0.001; r=0.39, P<0.001), calcium ( r=0.16, P=0.018; r=0.18, P=0.007) and alkaline phosphatase levels ( r=0.24, P<0.001; r=0.27, P<0.001), respectively. Clinical correlates affecting serum PTH were age, serum calcium and tumor weight ( F=30.325, P<0.001) . Conclusions:Tumor burden in patients with PA correlates with some laboratory biochemical parameters. Age and cystic lesions of the tumor may influence the actual serum PTH levels.

Objective To explore the safety and effectiveness of transvaginal ischia spinous fascia fixation for pelvic organ prolapse.Methods The retrospective analysis of 124 patients who underwent surgical treatment for stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ pelvic organ prolapse was conducted.Among them, 53 cases of transvaginal ischia spinous fascia fixation (IS-FF) were performed as a study group (ISFF group) while 71 cases of transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) were performed as a control group (SSLF group) .The operation time, postoperative hospitalization days, preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin values, indwelling urinary catheter time, postoperative pain scores, and the occurrence of complications were compared between the two groups, and the efficacy of the operation was objec-tively evaluated by using the staging method of pelvic organ prolapse (POP-Q) .Also the scores of the pelvic floor impact questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7) , the pelvic floor dysfunction questionnaire-20 (PFDI-20) , and the questionnaire of quality of life12 (PISQ-12) were used to evaluate the patients' postoperative quality of life.Results The oper-ation time and postoperative hospitalization days of patients in the ISFF group were less than those in the SSLF group , and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) .The preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin values, retention time of urinary catheter, postoperative pain scores, and hospitalization costs of patients in the two groups were compared, and the differences were not statistically significant.At the 3-month postoperative outpatient follow-up, the objective success rate was 100％ in two groups.The median follow-up time of patients in both groups was 24 months (12-41 months) , and there were 2 cases of recurrence in the ISFF group, with a recurrence rate of 3.77％ and a subjective success rate of 96.23％.While there were 3 cases of recurrence in the SSLF group and 2 cases of loss of visit, with a recurrence rate of 4.34％ and a subjective success rate of 95.65％.1 patient in the SSLF group presented with a pelvic hematoma with a diameter of about 5 cm after surgery.The hematoma disap-peared after hemostasis and other symptomatic treatment.There was no organ injury or blood transfusion in both groups.Conclusion Transvaginal ischia spinous fascia fixation is a safe and effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse, and it has the advantages of short operation time, fast postoperative recovery, fewer complications, and improvement of patients' quality of life.

Background and purpose:For patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer,trastuzumab treatment can prolong the overall survival and significantly improve the prognosis of patients.However,the reference original research trastuzumab(Herceptin?)is more expensive.Biosimilars have comparable efficacy and safety profiles while increasing patient access to treatment.This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy,pharmacokinetics,safety and immunogenicity of the trastuzumab biosimilar AK-HER2 compared to trastuzumab(Herceptin?)in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.Methods:This multi-center,randomised,double-blind phase Ⅲ clinical trial was conducted in 43 subcenters in China.This study complied with the research protocol,the ethical principles stated in the Declaration of Helsinki and the quality management standards for drug clinical trials.It was approved by the hospital's medical ethics committee.The clinical trial registration agency is the State Food and Drug Administration(clinical trial approval number:2015L04224;clinical trial registration number:CTR20170516).Written informed consent was obtained from subjects before enrollment.Enrolled patients were randomly assigned to the AK-HER2 group and the control group,respectively receiving AK-HER2 or trastuzumab(initial loading dose 8 mg/kg,maintenance dose 6 mg/kg,every 3 weeks as a treatment cycle,total treatment time is 16 cycles)in combination with docetaxel(75 mg/m2,treatment duration is at least 9 cycles).The primary endpoint of this clinical trial was the objective response rate(ORR9)between the AK-HER2 group and the control group in the 9th cycle.Secondary efficacy endpoints included ORR16,disease control rate(DCR),clinical benefit rate(CBR),progression-free survival(PFS)and 1-year survival rate.In this study,100 subjects(AK-HER2 group to control group=1:1)were randomly selected for blood sample collection after the 6th cycle of medication,The collection time points were 45 minutes after infusion(the end of administration),4,8,24,72,120,168,336,and 504 hours after the end of administration.After collection,blood samples were analyzed by PK parameter set(PKPS).Other evaluation parameters included safety and immunogenicity assessment.Results:A total of 550 patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer were enrolled in this clinical trial between Sep.2017 and Mar.2021.In the AK-HER2 group(n=237),129 subjects in the experimental group achieved complete response(CR)or partial response(PR),and the ORR9 was 54.4%.There were 134 subjects in the control group(n=241)who achieved CR or PR,and the ORR9 was 55.6%.The ORR9 ratio between the AK-HER2 group and the control group was 97.9%[90%confidence interval(CI):85.4%-112.2%,P=0.784],which was not statistically significant.In all secondary efficacy endpoints,no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups.We conducted a mean ratio analysis of pharmacokinetics(PK)parameters between the AK-HER2 group and the control group,and the results suggested that the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the two drugs are similar.The incidence of treatment emergent adverse event(TEAE)leading to drug reduction or suspension during trastuzumab treatment was 3.6%(10 cases)in the AK-HER2 group and 8.1%(22 cases)in the control group.There was statistically significant difference between the two groups(P=0.027).The incidence rate was significantly lower in the AK-HER2 group than in the control group,and there was no statistically significant difference among the other groups.The differences in the positive rates of anti-drug antibodies(ADA)and neutralizing antibodies(NAB)between groups were of no statistical significance(P=0.385 and P=0.752).Conclusion:In patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer,AK-HER2 was comparable to the trastuzumab(Herceptin?)in terms of drug efficacy,pharmacokinetics,safety and immunogenicity.

Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

Objective Meta-analysis was used to summarize the current status of medication adherence in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to clarify the characteristics of people with low medication adherence.Methods Relevant literatures were searched in Pubmed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,Embase,CINAHL,CBM,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang Data,and VIP.Two researchers conducted literature screening,data extraction and quality evaluation.Stata 16.0 software was used for subgroup analysis,sensitivity analysis,offset analysis.Results A total of 42 papers were included,and the overall medication adherence of middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetes patients ranged from 18.37%-96.53%.The medication adherence was higher among those with high education level(63%),married(61%),not living alone(50%),monthly income>3000 RMB/month(64%),having medical insurance(49%),good psychological status(61%),no chronic co-morbidities(66%),having knowledge about the disease(53%),taking≤3 types of medication(58%),convenient access to medical care(58%),and good doctor-patient relationship(50%).Conclusion The medication adherence of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus varies greatly among different subgroups.In the future,the specific influencing factors should be further explored to formulate targeted policies and intervention measures to improve patients'medication adherence and improve their health and quality of life.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of non-pharmaceutical intervention(NPI)for depression in patients with mild cognitive impairment(MCI).Methods Randomized controlled trials of NPI in treatment of depression patients with MCI published in PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,CINAHL,Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP and CBM databases were searched from self-built databases to January 6,2024,and performed a network Meta-analysis using Stata 14.0 software.Results A total of 55 literatures were included,involving 10 NPIs.According to the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA),the top 3 curative effects were cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT),Chinese traditional sport(CTS)and art therapy,the top 3 acceptability were CBT,CTS,and health education.Conclusion CBT and CTS may be effective and acceptable NPI for improving depression in patients with MCI,and individualized interventions can be tailored to the patient's situation to achieve the best results.

Background: The emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 omicron variant has been triggering the new wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) globally. However, the risk factors and outcomes for radiological abnormalities in the early convalescent stage (1 month after diagnosis) of omicron infected patients are still unknown. Methods: Patients were retrospectively enrolled if they were admitted to the hospital due to COVID-19. The chest computed tomography (CT) images and clinical data obtained at baseline (at the time of the first CT image that showed abnormalities after diagnosis) and 1 month after diagnosis were longitudinally analyzed. Uni-/multi-variable logistic regression tests were performed to explore independent risk factors for radiological abnormalities at baseline and residual pulmonary abnormalities after 1 month. Results: We assessed 316 COVID-19 patients, including 47% with radiological abnormalities at baseline and 23% with residual pulmonary abnormalities at 1-month follow-up. In a multivariate regression analysis, age ≥ 50 years, body mass index ≥ 23.87, days after vaccination ≥ 81 days, lymphocyte count ≤ 1.21 × 10 -9 /L, interleukin-6 (IL-6) ≥ 10.05 pg/mL and IgG ≤ 14.140 S/CO were independent risk factors for CT abnormalities at baseline. The age ≥ 47 years, presence of interlobular septal thickening and IL-6 ≥ 5.85 pg/mL were the independent risk factors for residual pulmonary abnormalities at 1-month follow-up. For residual abnormalities group, the patients with less consolidations and more parenchymal bands at baseline could progress on CT score after 1 month. There were no significant changes in the number of involved lung lobes and total CT score during the early convalescent stage. Conclusion The higher IL-6 level was a common independent risk factor for CT abnormalities at baseline and residual pulmonary abnormalities at 1-month follow-up. There were no obvious radiographic changes during the early convalescent stage in patients with residual pulmonary abnormalities.

The first bite syndrome is a rare maxillofacial pain syndrome easily ignored by clinicians. The pain caused by it not only makes it difficult for patients to eat and delays surgical wound healing, but also rises fear and anxiety of patients while they eat, which would severely reduce their life quality. There are few case reports about the first bite syndrome in China, and clinicians know little about it. Therefore, the early diagnosis and treatment of such a disease are important. In this review, we thoroughly reviewed the etiology and classification, pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, and current treatments of the first bite syndrome, aiming at providing some suggestions for clinicians.
