Objective:To analyze the clinical advantages of the modified Trocar approach in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) compared to the conventional three-hole approach.Methods:Clinical data of 202 patients undergoing the modified Trocar approach LC (the modified group) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2015 to September 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 84 males and 118 females patients, aged (49.58±13.03) years old. The conventional group enrolled 606 patients, including 245 males and 361 females, aged (50.99±12.55) years old. The operative time, conversion to four-hole approach, postoperative complications, hospital stay, pain score, and satisfaction score were compared between the groups.Results:No severe complications occurred in either group. In modified group, three cases (1.5%, 3/202) required conversion to four-hole approach, while in conventional group, seven (1.2%, 7/606) required conversion, with one case conversed to open surgery ( P>0.05). The operative time in modified and conventional groups were (40.28±13.51) min and (40.38±18.75) min, respectively ( P>0.05). The postoperative pain scores were 2.49±1.23 and 3.02±1.48, respectively ( t=5.05, P<0.001). The average postoperative hospital stays were (2.87±0.93) d and (3.80±1.31) d, respectively ( t=11.05, P<0.001). The postoperative Kiyak satisfaction scores were 4.31±0.66 and 4.15±0.63, respectively ( t=2.93, P=0.004). Conclusion:The safety of modified Trocar approach is comparable to that of conventional three-hole approach. The modified approach showed a shorter postoperative hospital stay, less pain, better scars, and higher patient satisfaction.

Purpose: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is associated with several vascular disorders, but the associations between ED and vascular parameters are still unclear. Materials and Methods: We analyzed and synthesized a comprehensive range of studies from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus regarding the associations between ED and the following measures: ankle-brachial index (ABI), pulse wave velocity (PWV), intima-media thickness (IMT), nitrate-mediated dilation (NMD), flow-mediated dilation (FMD), augmentation index (AI), endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and other vascular parameters. Subgroup analysis was conducted according to specific types of parameters. Study quality was assessed by using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to confirm the robustness of the pooled results. Results: Fifty-seven studies with 7,312 individuals were included. Twenty-eight studies were considered to be high-quality. ED patients had a 0.11 mm higher IMT (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.07, 0.15), a 2.86% lower FMD (95% CI: -3.56, -2.17), a 2.34% lower NMD (95% CI: -3.37, -1.31), a 2.83% higher AI (95% CI: 0.02, 5.63), a 1.11 m/s higher PWV (95% CI: 0.01, 2.21), and a 0.72% lower percentage of EPCs (95% CI: -1.19, -0.24) compared to those without ED. However, ABI was similar between ED patients and non-ED individuals. According to sensitivity analysis, the pooled results were robust. Conclusions Our study confirmed the associations between ED and several vascular parameters and highlighted the importance of prevention and management of vascular and endothelial dysfunction in ED patients.

Objective To explore the effects and influencing factors of traditional occupational health training on occupational health literacy (OHL) of employees in micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises. Methods A total of 540 employees from 154 micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, who participated (347 employees) and not-participated (193 employees) in traditional occupational health training, and 171 community residents/students (not-participated in occupational health training) were selected as the research subjects using the convenient sampling method. The OHL level was investigated using Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Populations. Results The overall OHL level of employees was 43.3% (234/540). Among them, the overall OHL level of untrained and trained employees was 38.9% and 45.8%, respectively, and the overall OHL level of community residents/students was 43.3%. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the higher the educational level, the higher the OHL level (all P<0.01). The OHL level of untrained and trained employees was higher than that of untrained community residents/students (all P<0.05). The interaction of education level and training status had no statistical difference on the OHL level of the research subjects (P>0.05). The results of factorial design analysis of variance showed that the overall OHL score rate of untrained employees and trained employees was higher than that of untrained community residents/students (all P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in overall OHL score rate between untrained and trained employees (P>0.05). Conclusion The role of traditional occupational health training in improving the OHL level of employees in micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises needs to be improved. The responsibility of enterprise occupational health training should be implemented, and multiple measures should be taken to enrich the ways and approaches of occupational health education for enterprise employees, to effectively improve the OHL of workers.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of decitabine combined with chemotherapy in treatment of relapsed/refractory T lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (T-LBL/ALL) with TP53 mutation.Methods:The clinical data of a T-LBL/ALL patient with TP53 mutation who had recurrence after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) treated with decitabine combined with chemotherapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University in June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:The patient, a 42-year-old male, diagnosed as T-LBL/ALL with TP53 mutation by comprehensive examination underwent sibling-matched donor allo-HSCT after a second complete remission. The patient relapsed 8 months later and was treated with decitabine combined with CLAG regimen to achieve complete remission again. And then, he had leukemia-free survival until now through maintenance treatment with decitabine.Conclusion:Decitabine combined with chemotherapy may be a safe and effective treatment option for relapsed T-LBL/ALL patients with TP53 mutation after allo-HSCT.
