Objective:To assess the safety and feasibility of selectively preserving the first branch of the right gastro-omental artery using bidirectional dissection in laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (LPPG).Methods:In this retrospective analysis, we studied preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative, and follow-up data of 30 patients with early gastric cancer treated in the Department of Gastric Cancer in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital (28 patients), Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery in Jiaxing Second Hospital (one patient) and Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery in Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital (one patient) who had undergone selective preservation of the first branch of the right gastro-omental artery during LPPG. The main variables studied were as follows: (1) intraoperative preservation of the first branch of the right gastro-omental artery; (2) the overall surgical situation; and (3) postoperative small bowel follow-through and endoscopy findings.Results:LPPG with selective preservation of the right gastro-omental artery vascular branch was achieved in all 30 of the study patients. The mean operation time was (244.3±29.3) minutes and the median intraoperative blood loss 50 (20–200) mL. The median tumor diameter was 1.2 (0.5–3.6) cm and an average of 32.3±11.6 lymph nodes were dissected. The overall median number of positive lymph nodes was 0 (0–6), and of No. 6 lymph nodes 5.1±1.5. Postoperative feeding resumed at an average of 5.2±0.5 days and the postoperative hospital stay averaged 8.4±3.4 days. Pathological stages were as follows: T1a (14 cases), T1b (10 cases), and T2 (6 cases). Small bowel follow-through imaging showed good results in 28 patients 5 days post-surgery, the remaining two exhibiting good results 9 days post-surgery. There were no instances of delayed gastric emptying, and only one patient (3.3%) developed intra-abdominal infection (resolved with conservative treatment).Conclusion:Selective preservation of the right gastro-omental artery during laparoscopic early gastric cancer surgery is a safe and feasible procedure for treating early mid-gastric body cancer with pyloric preservation.

Malignant tumors are major diseases that seriously threaten human health.Although the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has become an expert consensus on treatment of malignant tumors in China,a mature treatment mode of integrat-ed traditional Chinese and Western medicine has not yet been formed.This paper explores the construction of integrated traditional Chi-nese and Western medicine treatment mode for malignant tumors,namely synergistic therapy,palliative therapy,and preventive thera-py,covering different stages of malignant tumors,in order to give full play to the advantages and characteristics of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment in the treatment of malignant tumors.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of poor prognosis in patients with extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing enterobacterales(ESBL-E)bloodstream infection,and establish a nomogram prediction model to provide help for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods A total of 235 patients with ESBL-E bloodstream infection were collected from the First People's Hospital of Jiande City.According to their prognosis,the patients were divided into survival group(n=211)and death group(n=224).The clinical data of the patients were collected,and the independent risk factors of poor prognosis were screened by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.The nomogram was established and verified.Results The mortality of ESBL-E bloodstream infection patients with shock,respiratory failure,diabetes and leukemia,ICU admission,hypoproteinemia,increased or decreased white blood cells,and thrombocytopenia was higher(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that combined shock,respiratory failure and leukemia were independent risk factors for death from ESBL-E bloodstream infection.Conclusion The nomogram prediction model of adverse prognostic risk factors in patients with ESBL-E bloodstream infection can provide help for clinicians to judge the poor prognosis in the early stage,and it is of reference significance to take early intervention measures to reduce the mortality of patients.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infection in patients with emergency hemorrhagic shock.Methods:Patients with hemorrhagic shock and central venous catheterization admitted to the emergency department of Shanghai First People's Hospital from June 2016 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into infected group and non-infected group according to whether catheter-related bloodstream infection occurred. The puncture site samples and catheter tip samples of infected patients were collected for etiological detection and drug sensitivity test. The difference of baseline data between the two groups was analyzed, and the relationship between central venous catheter-associated infection and influencing factors was analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:A total of 249 patients were included in this study, including 54 patients in the infected group and 195 patients in the non-infected group. There were significant differences in age, catheterization position, ultrasound-guided puncture, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score, catheter retention time and application of broad-spectrum antibiotics between the infected group and the non-infected group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age, femoral vein catheterization, no ultrasound-guided puncture, high APACHEⅡ score, long catheter indent time and application of broad-spectrum antibiotics were risk factors for central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infection. Among the 54 infected patients, Staphylococcus epidermidis accounted for 44.4%, followed by Escherichia coli accounted for 24.1% and fungus accounted for 11.1%. The resistance rate of gram-positive cocci to vancomycin was the lowest (3.4%) followed by tetracycline (34.5%), and the highest resistance rate was amoxicillin (100.0%). The resistance rates of gram-negative bacilli to amikacin and ceftriaxone were relatively high, both of which were 94.7%. Conclusions:The risk factors for central venous catheter-related blood stream infection in patients with emergency hemorrhagic shock included advanced age, femoral vein catheterization, no ultrasound-guided puncture, high APACHEⅡ score, long catheter retention time and use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The common pathogenic bacteria were Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of intermediate frequency pulse electrical stimulation combined with TCM directional drug penetration therapy in the treatment of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.Methods:Randomized controlled trial. Totally 90 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis who were treated between July 2018 and December 2021 in the hospital were selected according to randomized controlled trial design, and they were divided into the two groups through the random number table method, with 45 cases in each group. The control group was given non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs+conventional intermittent traction + intermediate frequency pulse electrical stimulation, and the combined group was treated with TCM directional drug penetration therapy on the basis of the control group. Both groups were continuously treated for 1 month. The TCM syndromes were scored before and after treatment, and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain degree. Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were applied to assess the dysfunction degree and quality of life, and the clinical efficacy was assessed.Results:The total effective rate was 95.56% (43/45) in combined group and was 82.22% (37/45) in control group, with statistical significance ( χ2=4.05, P=0.044). The scores of lumbago pain, articular soreness, knee soreness and weakness and impaired activity and total score in combined group after treatment were lower than those in the control group ( t=18.40, 15.81, 15.40, 26.50, 59.575, P<0.01), and the JOA score was higher than that of the control group ( t=5.62, P<0.01), while the ODI score was lower than that of the control group ( t=9.43, P<0.01). The time-point effect and between-group effect of VAS score in combined group were lower than those in the control group with the extension of time ( F=240.00, 17.19, P<0.01), and there was an interaction effect between decrease and treatment method ( F=6.66, P<0.01). Conclusion:Intermediate frequency pulse electrical stimulation combined with TCM directional drug penetration therapy is helpful to relieve the pain, improve the lumbar dysfunction degree and enhance the quality of life and clinical efficacy in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.

Objective To investigate whether Royal Free Hospital Nutritional Prioritizing Tool (RFH-NPT) is more suitable than Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) in nutritional risk screening for patients with liver cirrhosis, as well as the applicability of subjective global assessment (SGA) in the nutritional assessment of patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods A total of 113 patients with liver cirrhosis who were hospitalized in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from August 2020 to June 2021 were enrolled. RFH-NPT and NRS-2002 were used for nutritional risk screening, and SGA was used for nutritional assessment. The results of these tools were compared with the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, and sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for the three tools. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated for each screening tool, and the association between nutritional status and short-term prognosis was analyzed. The independent samples t -test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of GLIM criteria with NRS2002, RFH-NPT and SGA. Results According to the GLIM criteria, 69.9% of the patients were diagnosed with malnutrition, and RFH-NPT and NRS2002 screened out that 72.6% and 51.3%, respectively, of the patients had nutritional risk, while SGA assessment showed that 57.5% of the patients had malnutrition. Compared with NRS2002, RFH-NPT had a higher degree of correlation with the GLIM criteria ( r =0.764, P < 0.001), higher sensitivity (94.9%) and NPV (87.1%), and a better predictive value (AUC=0.872, 95% confidence interval [ CI ]: 0.786-0.957). Under the GLIM criteria, SGA had good specificity (88.2%) in the diagnosis of malnutrition in patients with liver cirrhosis, with fair sensitivity (77.2%), good correlation ( r =0.607, P < 0.001), and good predictive value (AUC=0.827, 95% CI : 0.744-0.911). Based on the GLIM criteria, SGA assessment, and RFH-NPT assessment, the patients with nutritional risk or malnutrition tended to have a longer length of hospital stay ( Z= -3.301, -2.812, and -3.813, all P < 0.05) and a higher rehospitalization rate ( χ 2 =3.957, 6.922, and 6.766, all P < 0.05). Based on the GLIM criteria and NRS2002 assessment, the patients with nutritional risk or malnutrition had a significant increase in mortality rate within 3 months ( χ 2 =4.511 and 0.776, both P < 0.05). Conclusion Under the GLIM criteria, RFH-NPT is more suitable than NRS2002 for nutritional risk screening of patients with liver cirrhosis, and SGA also has good applicability in nutritional assessment of patients with liver cirrhosis. In addition, GLIM criteria, SGA, and RFH-NPT are associated with the clinical outcome of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular interventional treatment of the intracranial vertebrobasilar trunk large aneurysms (VBTLAs) compared with conservative treatment.Methods:This is a prospective multi-center cohort study. From October 2012 to October 2018, a total of 69 patients with intracranial vertebrobasilar trunk large aneurysm (diameter>10 mm) from Henan Province People's Hospital and People's Liberation Army Rocket Medical Center were included in this study. Patients themselves chose either endovascular interventional therapy (interventional group) or conservative treatment (conservative group) after discussion with their doctors. The χ 2 test was used to compare the incidence of deaths, stroke, and all other serious adverse events including other site bleeding, myocardial infarction and others between the two groups. Results:A total of 69 patients were enrolled, of whom 51 patients were enrolled in interventional group, 18 patients underwent endovascular reconstructive therapy, 11 patients underwent deconstructive therapy, and 4 patients underwent conjunction interventional treatments. Eighteen patients were enrolled in conservative group, of whom 11 cases received simple risk factor control, 7 cases received antiplatelet and risk factors control. The proportions of hypertensive patients 94.4% (17/18) and giant aneurysms 50.0% (9/18) in the conservative group were higher than those in the surgery group 64.7% (33/51, χ 2=4.500, P=0.034), 19.6% (10/51, χ 2=4.730, P= 0.030).The incidence of all serious adverse events associated with protocol was 15.7% (8/51) in the interventional group and 44.4% (8/18) in the conservative group [risk ratio (RR) =0.353, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.156-0.801], and the difference was significant (χ 2=4.668, P=0.031). The incidence of fatal events associated with protocol was 2.0% (1/51) in the interventional group and 38.9% (7/18) in the conservative group (RR=0.050, 95%CI: 0.007-0.382), and the difference was significant (χ 2=14.281, P<0.001). The incidence of hemorrhage events associated with protocol was 2.0% (1/51) in the interventional group and 22.2% (4/18) in the conservative group (RR=0.088, 95%CI: 0.011-0.738), and the difference was significant (χ 2 =5.391, P=0.020). Follow-up imaging showed that the occlusion rate of aneurysms in 44 patients in the interventional group was 56.8% (25/44) after a median follow-up of 6 months. Imaging follow-up was obtained in 9 patients, whose occlusion rate of aneurysms was 0 and the median follow-up time was 12 months, in the conservative group. The difference was significant(χ 2 =7.534, P=0.006). Conclusion:Compared with conservative treatment, endovascular intervention of the intracranial VBTLAs has lower incidences of serious adverse events and death events.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of sevoflurane in preventing depression-like behavior in mice and the relationship with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/tyrosine kinase B (TrkB) signaling pathway.Methods Forty-four clean-grade male C57BL/6 mice,weighing 18-22 g,aged 8-10 weeks,were divided into 2 groups (n =22 each) using a random number table method:control group (group C) and sevoflurane group (group S).Mice in group C inhaled oxygen for 30 min,and mice in group S inhaled 2.5％ sevoflurane for 30 min.The forced swimming test and novelty-suppressed feeding test were performed after the mice were fully awake.The brains were immediately removed under anesthesia at the end of inhalation of oxygen or sevoflurane,and the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus were isolated for detection of the expression of BDNF,TrkB and phosphorylated TrkB (p-TrkB) by Western blot.Results Compared to group C,the immobility time and feeding latency were significantly shortened,the expression of p-TrkB in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus was up-regulated (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the feeding consumption or expression of BDNF and TrkB in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in group S (P＞0.05).Conclusion Sevoflurane produces a preventive effect on depression-like behavior in mice,and the mechanism is related to increased phosphorylation of TrkB in BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway.
