Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics of primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) patients.Methods:Clinical features of 22 patients diagnosed as PPL admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2002 to May 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:The median age was 56.4±13.3 years. The median time from onset to diagnosis was 1.0 (1.0, 3.0) months. The main clinical manifestations were abdominal pain (15/22), weight loss (14/22) and jaundice (10/22). Elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was observed in 15/20 (75%) patients. Only 2 (2/9, 22.2%) patients had increased CA199 levels and 2 (2/9, 22.2%) patients had increased CEA levels. The maximum tumor diameter was 5.0 (3.8, 6.9) cm. Contrast-enhanced CT mostly showed low enhancement lesions. Major pancreatic duct dilatation were rare on CT scan (4/20). Fifteen patients were confirmed by pancreatic pathology, of which 8 were obtained by surgery, 4 were obtained by CT or ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy, and 3 were obtained by EUS-FNA. The main pathological type was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (14/22). 19 patients received chemotherapy, and 6 patients died with a median follow-up of 5.0 (1.5, 35.5) months.Conclusions:PPL is rare and easy to be misdiagnosed. Elevated LDH levels, normal tumor markers, and non-dilatation of main pancreatic duct are important diagnostic clues. It is important to obtain pathology by EUS-FNA and other methods for definite diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of AcoStream peripheral thrombus aspiration system combined with catheter-directed thrombolysis in the treatment of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.Methods:The clinical data of 16 lower extremity deep vein thrombosis cases treated with AcoStream peripheral thrombus aspiration system combined with catheter-directed thrombolysis, admitted to the authors′ hospital from May 2022 to November 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. The differences in circumferential diameter between the affected limb and the healthy side, venous patency score, thrombus clearance grade and intraoperative blood loss were observed and compared. The Villalta score was used during the follow up. Paired sample t-test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to compare the changes in the observed indicators before and after treatment to evaluate the efficacy. Results:Treatment were successfully performed in all patients. Before treatment, the circumference differences between the affected and unaffected thighs and calves were (3.69±0.97) and (3.34±0.75)cm, respectively, the venous patency score of the affected side was 8(7.25,9) points. After treatment, the circumference differences between the affected and unaffected thighs and calves were (0.81±0.68) and (0.84±0.70)cm, respectively. The venous patency score of the affected side was 1(0,1)points, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.001). Grade Ⅲ thrombus clearance was achieved in 7 patients, grade Ⅱ thrombus clearance was achieved in 9 patients. The average blood loss during thrombus aspiration was (133.1±12.0) ml. Following up for 6 months, the Villalta score was 0(0,1.75) points. Conclusion:Acostream peripheral thrombus aspiration system combined with catheter-directed thrombolysis is safe and effective for the treatment of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis, with satisfactory short-term efficacy and high clinical application value.

Objective:To investigate the clinical benefit and application value of the Da Vinci robotic surgical system through bilateral axillary areolar approach in cervical lymph node dissection in obese thyroid carcinoma patients.Methods:The clinical data of 117 patients with thyroid cancer admitted to the thyroid and breast surgery Department of the 960th Hospital of the Chinese PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 55 males and 62 females, aged from 17 to 64 years, with an average age of (36.05±8.77) years. According to body mass index (BMI), patients were divided into normal group (18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI< 24 kg/m 2, n=60) and obese group (BMI≥28 kg/m 2, n=57). Gender, age, BMI, operation time, postoperative drainage fluid volume, tumor diameter, central lymph node dissection and number of metastasis, cervical lymph node dissection and number of metastasis, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative aesthetic satisfaction score and surgical complications of the two groups were analyzed. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data. Results:All of patients completed the operation successfully, and neither group was transferred to open surgery. The BMI of obese group was higher than that of normal group [(31.35±3.08) kg/m 2vs (22.53±0.82) kg/m 2, t=20.97, P<0.05]. The maximum tumor diameter in the obese group was greater than that in the normal group [(13.81±10.70) mm vs (10.42±5.53) mm, t=2.17, P<0.05]. There were no significant differences in operation time, number of central lymph node dissection and metastasis, number of cervical lymph node dissection and metastasis and postoperative complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Utilization of the Da Vinci robotic surgical system via the BABA approach demonstrates both safety and feasibility in obese patients with thyroid carcinoma undergoing lateral cervical lymph node dissection. Importantly, this technique does not increase the risk of surgical complications, thus providing a novel alternative for lateral cervical lymph node dissection in obese thyroid carcinoma patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of bilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the pre-attentive processing of methamphetamine addicts.Methods:Forty methamphetamine addicts were screened and equally divided into the intervention group and the control group by random number table method.The intervention group was treated with bilateral simultaneous stimulation with 10 Hz on the left DLPFC and 1 Hz on the right DLPFC with 7 days of continuous intervention.The same scheme was used to intervene the control group, but with pseudo-stimulation. The changes of amplitude and latency of mismatch negative wave(MMN) before and after intervention were compared. SPSS 24.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Independent sample t-test was used for inter group comparison, and paired sample t-test was used for intra group comparison before and after intervention. Results:Before rTMS, there were no significant differences in MMN(F3, Fz, F4) amplitude (intervention group: (-0.90±0.28)μV, (-0.98±0.19)μV, (-0.96±0.19)μV; control group: (-0.92±0.21)μV, (-0.89±0.20)μV, (-0.94±0.16)μV)and latency(intervention group: (184.16±33.07)ms, (179.20±25.35)ms, (184.95±28.22)ms; control group: (184.91±26.96)ms, (180.99±25.29)ms, (181.55±23.19)ms) between the two groups (all P>0.05). After the intervention, there were significant differences in MMN(Fz, F4) amplitude(intervention group: (-1.38±0.16)μV, (-1.17±0.19)μV; control group: (-0.91±0.17) μV, (-0.99±0.16)μV) between the two groups (both P<0.01), but there were no significant differences in MMN (F3) amplitude(intervention group: (-1.01±0.59)μV; control group: (-0.80±0.50)μV), and in MMN (F3, Fz, F4) latency(intervention group: (177.38±26.45)ms, (172.17±23.87)ms, (179.84±23.60)ms; control group: (182.08±24.95)ms, (177.94±21.30)ms, (179.18±21.62)ms)between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in MMN( Fz, F4) amplitude (before-intervention: (-0.98±0.19)μV, (-0.96±0.19)μV; after-intervention: (-1.38±0.16)μV, (-1.17±0.19)μV)before and after intervention in the intervention group (both P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in MMN(F3) amplitude(before-intervention: (-0.90±0.28)μV; after-intervention: (-1.01±0.59)μV)before and after intervention in the intervention group ( P>0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in MMN(F3, Fz, F4) latency (before-intervention: (184.16±33.07)ms, (179.20±25.35)ms, (184.95±28.22)ms; after-intervention: (177.38±26.45)ms, (172.17±23.87)ms, (179.84±23.60)ms)before and after intervention in the intervention group(all P<0.05). After pseudo-stimulation, there were no statistically significant differences in MMN( F3, Fz, F4) amplitude(before-intervention: (-0.92±0.21)μV, (-0.89±0.20)μV, (-0.94±0.16)μV; after-intervention: (-0.80±0.50)μV, (-0.91±0.17)μV, (-0.99±0.16)μV)and latency (before-intervention: (184.91±26.96)ms, (180.99±25.29)ms, (181.55±23.19)ms; after-intervention: (182.08±24.95)ms, (177.94±21.30)ms, (179.18±21.62)ms) before and after intervention in the control group (all P>0.05). Conclusion:After repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation, the pre-attentive processing of the intervention group is improved, which shows that bilateral simultaneous stimulation of the rTMS program is effective.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasonic measurement of artery peak velocity variation (ΔVpeak) on predicting fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients.Methods:Databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, SinoMed, Wanfang, CNKI and VIP were retrieved from the establishment of the database to November 2019. The retrieval literatures were about the research of ΔVpeak used to judge fluid responsiveness. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the relevant literatures were screened by two researchers, and the data of the included literatures were extracted. The quality of literatures was evaluated by quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies (QUADAS). Meta Dics 1.4 software was used to analyze the literatures that met the quality standard by Meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR) and diagnostic odds ratio ( DOR) were calculated. The summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was drawn and the area under SROC curve (AUC) was calculated. The χ 2 test and Spearman correlation coefficient were used to analyze heterogeneity, and Deek test was used to analyze publication bias. Results:A total of 1 854 patients were enrolled in 31 studies, including 11 domestic studies and 20 foreign studies. Using 14 items of QUADAS to evaluate the quality of literatures, it was found that the enrolled literatures were all in Grade A, indicating that the overall quality of literatures was high. The scattered distribution of SROC curve was not "shoulder arm shape", and Spearman correlation coefficient was 0.062 ( P = 0.710), so there was no threshold effect. The heterogeneity test showed that I2 = 57.2% ( P = 0.001), indicating that there was a certain degree of heterogeneity among the studies, and the source of heterogeneity was non threshold effect. Meta regression analysis showed that the reason for heterogeneity was the method of volume load test [ DOR = 3.87, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.56-9.57, P = 0.004 8]. According to the results of heterogeneity analysis, there was no significant heterogeneity ( I2 = 10.6, P = 0.288 5) among the studies after removing the samples of the passive leg raising (PLR) instead of the volume expansion. A meta-analysis was done with random effects model. The results showed that the pooled DOR was 23.85 (95% CI was 17.57 to 32.37), pooled sensitivity was 0.82 (95% CI was 0.80 to 0.85), pooled specificity was 0.83 (95% CI was 0.80 to 0.85), pooled PLR was 4.17 (95% CI was 3.58 to 4.86), and pooled NLR was 0.22 (95% CI was 0.18 to 0.28). The AUC was 0.901 2 (95% CI was 0.88 to 0.93), and Q index was 0.832 5. The results of Deek funnel plot showed that there was no published bias in all the studies ( P = 0.19). Conclusions:Ultrasonic measurement of ΔVpeak has a high value in predicting fluid responsiveness. It is a reliable parameter for the evaluation of shock, critical illness and surgical operation population who need to monitor the fluid responsiveness.

Objective:To systematically review the effect of Tongfu Xiefei method on prognosis and respiratory mechanics parameters in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods:The randomized controlled trials (RCT) of Tongfu Xiefei method for ARDS published on PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI and Wanfang database from January 1st 2001 to June 30th 2019 were searched. Conventional treatment for ARDS that included mechanical ventilation, prone ventilation, anti-infection, organ function maintenance and nutritional therapy were used in the control group. While the Tongfu Xiefei method was applied in the experimental group based on the conventional treatment. The main outcome was in-hospital mortality, and the secondary outcomes included mechanic ventilation time, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay and respiratory mechanics parameters. Two researchers independently searched the literature, collected data and assessed the risk of bias. The bias risk assessment was completed by RevMan 5.3 software. The Meta-analysis was completed by R software. The potential publication bias of main outcome was evaluation.Results:A total of 27 RCTs were included. There were 1 763 patients, including 899 in the experimental group and 864 in the control group. Meta-analysis showed that, compared with the control group, the in-hospital mortality of the experimental group significantly decreased [relative risk ( RR) = 0.46, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.36 to 0.59, P < 0.000 1], the mechanic ventilation time and the length of ICU stay were significantly shortened [mechanical ventilation time: standard mean difference ( SMD) = -1.92, 95% CI was -2.56 to -1.29, P < 0.000 1; length of ICU stay: SMD = -1.84, 95% CI was -2.49 to -1.18, P < 0.000 1], oxygenation index was significantly improved ( SMD = 2.26, 95% CI was 1.56 to 2.96, P < 0.000 1), airway peak pressure, airway platform pressure, mean airway pressure and airway resistance significantly decreased (airway peak pressure: SMD = -1.26, 95% CI was -2.35 to -0.18, P = 0.021 8; airway platform pressure: SMD = -0.61, 95% CI was -1.08 to -0.14, P = 0.010 7; mean airway pressure: SMD = - 1.67, 95% CI was - 2.93 to -0.42, P = 0.009 1; airway resistance: SMD = -0.88, 95% CI was -1.09 to -0.67, P < 0.000 1), while lung compliance increased ( SMD = 1.57, 95% CI was 0.78 to 2.36, P < 0.000 1). The results of publication bias assessment showed that there was no potential publication bias ( P = 0.499). Conclusion:Tongfu Xiefei method is capable of reducing the in-hospital mortality, shortening the mechanical ventilation time and the length of ICU stay, and improving respiratory mechanics parameters for patients with ARDS.

Objective This retrospective study compared the detection rates of prostate cancer between freehand transperineal biopsy (FTPB) and template-guided transperineal biopsy (TYPB) in the patients with PSA levels ＜ 20 ng/ml.Methods From April 2017 to April 2019,768 patients with PSA levels ＜ 20 ng/ml were included into this study.Of these patients,406 underwent FTPB procedures and 362 underwent TTPB procedures.There were no significant differences of median age [66.00(61.00,70.00)vs.66.00 (61.00,71.25) years],height [170.00 (165.00,172.00) vs.170 (165.00,173.00) cm],weight [70.00 (63.88,75.00) vs.70.00 (63.75,75.00) kg],BMI [24.22 (22.22,25.95) vs.24.22 (22.49,25.82) kg/m2],PSA [8.75 (6.49,12.40) vs.8.69 (6.49,11.96) ng/ml],fPSA [1.18 (0.33,2.15) vs.1.15(0.76,1.88)ng/ml],prostate volume [39.79(25.55,53.94)vs.39.88(24.46,55.11)ml] between two groups.Patients' biopsy results were recorded,the differences of prostate cancer detection rates between these two groups were analyzed,specifically including the cancer with Gleason score ≥ 7 and the anterior zone cancer.Results The total prostate cancer detection rates were 33.7％ (137/406) and 39.0％ (141/362,P =0.134) in FTPB group and TTPB group respectively,and the detection rates of cancer with Gleason score≥7 were 23.9％ (97/406) and 32.0％ (116/362,P =0.012) respectively.The detection rates of anterior zone prostate cancer were 15.5％ (63/406) and 27.3％ (99/362,P ＜0.001).Moreover,in thepatients with PSA ＜ 10 ng/ml,the prostate cancer detection rates were 29.8％ (74/248) and 36.2％ (81/224,P =0.144) respectively,while the detection rates of cancer with Gleason score ≥7 were 19.4％ (48/248) and 29.9％ (67/224,P =0.008) respectively.Conclusions There was no significant difference in the total prostate cancer detection rates between 12-core TTPB group and 20-core FTPB group in the patients with PSA ＜ 20 ng/ml,but for the detection rate of cancer with Gleason score ≥ 7,TTPB group was significantly higher than FTPB group,especially in the patients with PSA ＜ 10 ng/ml.In addition,for anterior zone prostate cancer,the detection rate of TrPB group was also higher than FTPB group.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the degree of brain injury during the perioperative period of liver transplantation and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD).Methods Thirtythree patients,undergoing elective liver transplantation,were enrolled in this study.Before induction of anesthesia (T0),at 5 min before blocking the portal vein (T1),5 min after opening the portal vein (T2),5 min after opening the hepatic artery (T3),and at 24 h after surgery (T4),blood samples were collected from the central vein for determination of the serum concentrations of S1O0β protein and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Patients were divided into POCD group and control group (group C) according to whether POCD happened within 7 days after surgery.Results Compared with the baseline value at T0,the serum concentrations of S100β protein were significantly increased at T2 and T3,and the serum concentrations of NSE was increased at T3 (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in serum concentrations of S100β and NSE at each time point between group POCD and group C (P＞0.05).Conclusion The degree of brain injury during the perioperative period of liver transplantation is not the dominant factor for the development of POCD in the patients.

Objective To analyze the genetic characteristics of chromosomes and related fusion genes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (non-M3), and to evaluate the prognosis of patients with chemotherapy of DA regimen with different doses of daunorubicin. Methods Fifty-six patients with newly diagnosed non-M3 AML from January 2013 to January 2015 were collected. Adopted short-term culture method was used to treat bone marrow, R-binding chromosome karyotyping was used to detect cytogenetic. Thirty-one types of fusion gene were identified by PCR and 10 % agarose gel electrophoresis. All patients treated by DA regimen were divided into group A, group B and group C according to different dosage of daunorubicin. Then, complete remission (CR) rate and survival time in the 3 groups were observed. The effect of cytogenetic and molecular biology abnormality on the chemotherapy, CR rate and overall survival (OS) of the 3 groups were analyzed by the chi-square test. Results Among the 56 patients, 18 cases (32.1%) had abnormal chromosome karyotype, 6 cases (10.7 %) had abnormal number of chromosome, 16 cases (28.6 %) had abnormal structure of chromosome, and 4 cases (7.1 %) had both abnormal number and structure of chromosome. Meanwhile, the most common abnormal structure was t(8;21), and the most common abnormal quantity were+8, -Y. Detective rate of genetic abnormality was raised to 62.00 % through fusion gene and chromosome karyotype analysis. The total CR rate of DA-induced chemotherapeutic regimen was 73.2 %, and the two-year OS rate was 42.9%. The remission rate of chemotherapy in the middle-risk group was significantly lower than that in the low-risk group (χ 2 = 8.976, P = 0.002), but there was no significant difference between the low-dose chemotherapy group and the standard dose chemotherapy group (P>0.05). The standard dose group showed a significant advantage in the OS rate (χ2= 8.045, P= 0.005). Conclusions Adult acute leukemia has its unique cytogenetic characteristics, which can assist in guiding clinical diagnosis, classification and prognosis. The prognosis of middle-risk patients is significantly lower than the low-risk group. Low-risk patients could benefit from a reduced dose of DA regimen, but the standard dose DA regimen has a significant advantage in long-term survival.

Objective To discuss the clinical application of mechanical thrombectomy with AngioJet system for acute lower limb arterial ischemia (ALI).Methods A total of 12 ALI patients,who underwent percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy with AngioJet systemn during the period from January 2015 to November 2016,were enrolled in this study.The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.The blood flow classification score after thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) was used to evaluate the blood perfusion condition,and Cooley standard of efficacy score was used to assess the clinical curative effect.Results The technical success rate of mechanical thrombectomy with AngioJet system was 91.7％ (11/12).The average restored perfusion time was (1.5±0.6) hours.The clinical success rate and limb salvage rate were 83.3％ (10/ 12) and 91.7％ (11/12),respectively.The TIMI flow scores were improved from preoperative grade 0 (n=8) and Ⅰ (n=4) to postoperative grade 0 (n=1),Ⅰ (n=3) and Ⅱ (n=8).In 11 patients (91.7％) the symptoms of lower limb arterial ischemia were strikingly improved after mechanical thrombectomy.In one patient,the postoperative TIMI flow score remained 0 as preoperative state and the symptoms of lower limb arterial ischemia were not improved although catheter directed thrombolysis therapy was employed for 24 hours,and above-knee surgical amputation had to be carried out.Cooley efficacy score showed that complete cure was seen in 4 patients (33.3％),good response in 6 patients (50.0％),general improvement in one patient (8.3％) and pool response in one patient (8.3％).No severe bleeding complications occurred.Conclusion Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy with AngioJet can rapidly recover the blood perfusion in patients with ALI,thus,further deterioration of the disease can be prevented and the limb salvage rate can be improved.Therefore,this technique has good clinical application value.
