Objectives:To analyze the disease burden and changing trends of non-rheumatic valvular heart disease(NRVHD)from 1990 to 2019 in China. Methods:Based on the Global Burden of Disease 2019 database,we collected data related to NRVHD in China from 1990 to 2019,analyzed the crude incidence rate,crude prevalence rate,crude disability-adjusted life year(DALY),and age-scaled rate of NRVHD during this period,and analyzed the corresponding trends.The grey prediction model GM(1,1)was used to predict the disease burden of NRVHD in China from 2020 to 2029. Results:The crude incidence,crude prevalence,and crude DALY rates of NRVHD increased in China from 7.87/100 000,123.21/100 000,and 9.83/100 000 in 1990 to 22.85/100 000,374.16/100 000,and 11.95/100 000 in 2019;the age-standardized incidence rate and the age-standardized prevalence rate increased from 9.22/100 000 and 169.04/100 000 in 1990 to 15.30/100000 and 262.85/100 000 in 2019 respectively,with females being higher than males;the age-standardized DALY rate declined from 13.43/100 000 in 1990 to 9.07/100 000 in 2019,with females being higher than males.Joinpoint regression model analysis showed an increasing trend in the age-standardized incidence rate and age-standardized prevalence rate,and a decreasing trend in the age-standardized DALY rate(annual average percentage change[AAPC]values of 1.86%,1.72%and-1.66%,respectively),trend of change was statistically significant(all P<0.05).The burden of disease for all age groups from 1990 to 2019 showed an overall increasing trend,and the crude incidence rate,crude prevalence rate and crude DALY rate all increased with age,and the elderly group over 60 years old was the main group of disease burden.The results of the grey prediction model showed that by 2029,the age-standardized incidence rate and age-standardized prevalence rate would increase to 18.51/100 000 and 303.26/100 000,respectively,and the age-standardized DALY rate would decrease to 7.42/100 000. Conclusions:From 1990 to 2019,the age-standardized incidence rate and age-standardized prevalence rate of NRVHD in China showed an increasing trend,and the age-standardized DALY rate all showed a decreasing trend.The disease burden of NRVHD in China remains high.Women and the senior population are the main target groups needing special attention in China,and more targeted prevention and treatment strategies are needed for high-risk population.

Objective:To summarize the clinical data of Sun's procedure(total aortic arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk technique) in the treatment of complex aortic arch disease after previous cardiac surgery.Methods:From January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020, a total of 55 patients underwent resternotomy Sun's procedure in the Aortic Surgery Center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, including 41 males and 14 females, with a mean age of(45.4±12.7) years old, were retrospectively analyzed. The indications of primary cardiac surgery included type A aortic dissection, aortic root or ascending aortic aneurysm, heart valve surgery, and coronary heart disease. Indications for reoperation included residual aortic dissection larger than 55 mm in diameter, aortic aneurysm dilation, new type A aortic dissection, anastomotic leakage with symptoms, and pseudoaneurysm. All the operations were performed under general anesthesia and median resternotomy, total aortic arch replacement with the stented elephant trunk implantation and were performed by anterograde unilateral or bilateral cerebral perfusion.Results:There was no intraoperative death, and the postoperative mortality was 9.1%(5/55). The causes of death were 2 cases of low cardiac output, 1 case of respiratory failure, 1 case of cerebral complications, and 1 case of gastrointestinal bleeding. Except death, there were 2 cases of postoperative cerebral complications(2/50, 4%), 5 cases of spinal cord injury(transient paraplegia)(5/50, 10%), the median duration of ventilator use was 17 hours(14-42 h). Other postoperative complications included respiratory insufficiency requiring ventilatory support longer than 48 hours(8/50, 16%), renal insufficiency requiring temporary dialysis(2/50, 4%). The follow-up time was(25.9±11.2) months(10-47 months), during which 1 case died due to cerebral complication, 4 cases underwent total thoracoabdominal aorta replacement, and 1 case underwent anastomotic leakage repair.Conclusion:It is safe and effec to perform Sun's procedure(total aortic arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk technique) in the treatment of complex arch disease after previous cardiac surgery.

Objective:To investigate the influencing of inferior mediastinum and esophageal hiatus lymph node metastasis by submucosal different venous divisions of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) invaded in Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 547 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ AEG who were admitted to Shanxi Cancer Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were collected. There were 461 males and 86 females, aged 61 (range, 33?75)years. Observa-tion indicators: (1) lymph node metastasis rate in different groups; (2) influencing factors of inferior mediastinum lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ AEG; (3) influencing factors of esophageal hiatus lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ AEG. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range) or M( Q1, Q3), and com-parison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as percentages or absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. The univariate analysis was conducted using the corresponding statistical methods based on data type. The Logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis. Results:(1) Lymph node metastasis rate in different groups. The lymph node metastasis rate in No. 1, 2, 3, 4sa, 4sb, 7, 8a, 9, 11,20, 108, 110 of the 547 patients was 17.37%(95/547), 6.76%(37/547), 46.44%(254/547), 1.65%(9/547), 1.10%(6/547), 23.22%(127/547), 4.39%(24/547), 3.11%(17/547), 3.47%(19/547), 3.66%(20/547), 0.55%(3/547), 4.20%(23/547), respectively. Of the 547 patients, there were 456 cases with proximal of AEG invading submucosal palisade venous of EGJ including 4 cases with inferior mediastinum lymph node metastasis and no case with media mediastinum or up media-stinum lymph node metastasis. There were 91 cases with proximal of AEG invading submucosal perforator venous of EGJ including 18 cases with inferior mediastinum lymph node metastasis, 3 cases with media mediastinum lymph node metastasis and no case with up mediastinum lymph node metastasis. (2) Influencing factors of inferior mediastinum lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ AEG. Results of multivariate analysis showed that age, tumor invading submucosal perforator venous of EGJ and histological classification were independent influencing factors for inferior media-stinum lymph node metastasis of Siewert type Ⅱ AEG ( odds ratio=0.93, 23.33, 0.31, 95% confidence interval as 0.87?0.99, 4.18?130.28, 0.12?0.78, P<0.05). (3) Influencing factors of esophageal hiatus lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ AEG. Tumor invading submucosal perforator venous of EGJ was an independent influencing factor for esophageal hiatus lymph node metastasis of Siewert type Ⅱ AEG ( odds ratio=14.95, 95% confidence interval as 2.46?90.76, P<0.05). Conclusion:Age, tumor invading submucosal perforator venous of EGJ and histological classification are independent influencing factors for inferior mediastinum lymph node metastasis of Siewert type Ⅱ AEG, and tumor invading submucosal perforator venous of EGJ is an independent influencing factor for esophageal hiatus lymph node metastasis.

Objective To systematically evaluate the qualitative studies on the care experience of caregivers for primary malignant bone tumors patients,in order to provide references for the construction of bone tumor support care system.Methods The Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,CNKI,Wanfang Database,VIP database,and China Biomedical Literature Database were searched by computer to collect qualitative studies on the care experience of caregivers of malignant bone tumors patients from the establishment of the databases to November 2022.The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI)Quality Evaluation Criteria for Quality Research in Evidence-Based Health Care Centers(2016),and the results were integrated by a pooled integration approach.Results A total of 12 studies were included;48 themes were extracted and summarized into 9 categories,which were combined into 3 integrated results.Integration result 1 is obvious physical and mental disturbance.Integration result 2 is multiple role maladaptation.Integration result 3 is positive growth after adjustment.Conclusion Caregivers of patients with malignant bone tumors have serious physical and mental burden and are eager for multiple support.It is suggested that medical staff pay attention to the multi-dimensional needs of patients,formulate personalized support strategies,help caregivers adapt and transform their roles,and promote the post-traumatic growth of caregivers.

Objective:To investigate the application value of self-pulling and latter transection (SPLT) technique in double anti-reflux double-tract reconstruction of totally laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopatholo-gical data of 103 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction in clinical stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ who were admitted to Shanxi Cancer Hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were collected. There were 65 males and 38 females, aged from 45 to 79 years, with a median age of 59 years. Of 103 patients, 49 cases undergoing totally laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction of SPLT were assigned into the SPLT group, 54 cases undergoing totally laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with conventional double-tract reconstruction were assigned into the traditional group. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination and telephone inter-view to detect postoperative reflux esophagitis of patients up to December 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and the t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range) or M( Q1, Q3), and the Wilcoxon test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was performed using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the non-parameter rank sum test. Results:(1) Intraoperative situations: the operation time, digestive tract reconstruction time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, the number of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes dissected, cases with auxiliary incisions for the SPLT group were (261±48)minutes, (26±4)minutes, (114±42)mL, 8.0(6.5,9.5), 1, respectively. The above indicators were (244±42)minutes, (30±6)minutes, (118±46)mL, 5.5(4.0,8.0), 9 for the traditional group, respectively. There were significant differences in the digestive tract reconstruction time, the number of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes dissected and cases with auxiliary incisions between the two groups ( t=-3.34, Z=-4.05, χ2=4.72, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time or volume of intraoperative blood loss between the two groups ( t=1.87, -0.47, P>0.05). (2) Postoperative situations: duration of postopera-tive hospital stay and cases with postoperative complications were (11.5±2.7)days and 4 for the SPLT group, versus (12.5±4.3)days and 9 for the traditional group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( t=-1.47, χ2=1.68, P>0.05). There were 13 of 103 patients with postopera-tive complications, including 5 cases of left pleural effusion, 4 cases of anastomotic leakage, 2 cases of mild pneumonia, 1 case of incision infection, 1 case of chylous leakage. Four patients had anasto-motic leakage at the esophagojejunostomy, the abdominal esophagus of whom was invaded by more than 1 cm. During the operation, mediastinal drainage tubes were placed through the abdominal wall. The 4 patients were cured after enteral and parenteral nutrition support and adequate drainage, and the remaining patients with complications were cured after symptomatic treatment. (3) Follow-up: of 49 patients in the SPLT group, 43 cases were followed up for (18±4)months. During the follow-up, 1 case showed reflux esophagitis by gastroscopy, with the incidence of 2.33%(1/43). Of 54 patients in the traditional group, 53 cases were followed up for (17±4)months. During the follow-up, 4 cases showed reflux esophagitis by gastroscopy, with the incidence of 7.55%(4/53). There was no significant difference in the incidence of reflux esophagitis between the two groups ( χ2=0.47, P>0.05). Conclusions:SPLT technology is feasible for double anti-reflux double-tract reconstruction of proximal gastrectomy. Compared with traditional double-tract reconstruction of totally laparos-copic proximal gastrectomy, SPLT technology can reduce the auxiliary incisions, increase the number of lower mediastinal lymph nodes dissected, and shorten the digestive tract reconstruction time.

Objective:To study the clinical features of the "migration birds" population in Hainan Province in winter presenting with acute cholecystitis.Methods:Patients who were diagnosed to suffer from acute cholecystitis in the winter months from November to February of the following year of 2017, 2018 and 2019 and admitted in Hainan Hospital of Chinese PLA General Hospital were included in this study. The "migration birds" patients who arrived in Hainan Province in less than 30 days were defined as the short-term group ( n=49), 30-89 days as the mid-term group ( n=24), more than 90 days as the long-term group ( n=48). The general information, associated medical diseases, clinical presentations, interventional strategies and in-hospital outcomes were compared, and further analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with purulent cholecystitis and non-purulent cholecystitis in the short-term group. Results:Of 120 patients, there were 49 patients in the short-term group (29 males and 20 females with an average age of 65.18±15.02 years), 24 patients in the mid-term group (13 males and 11 females with an average age of 66.21±11.93 years), and 48 patients in the long-term group (30 males and 18 females with an average of 60.73±12.54 years). The general information, interventional strategies and in-hospital outcomes were similar among the three groups. When compared with patients in the long-term group, patients in the short-term group had higher incidences of hypertension [20.83% (10/48) vs 48.98% (24/49)] and diabetes [10.42% (5/48) vs 30.61% (15/49)]. The gallbladder wall in the short-term group was significantly thicker than that in the long-term group [0.60(0.40, 0.70) cm vs 0.50(0.30, 0.60) cm, P<0.017]. The proportion of purulent cholecystitis in the short-term group was significantly higher than that in the long-term group [48.15% (13/27) vs 17.24% (5/29) , P<0.017] . In the short-term group, the incidences of silt-like stones of purulent cholecystitis [38.46% (5/13) vs 14.29% (2/14)], gallbladder perforation [30.77% (4/13) vs 0], gallbladder gangrene [53.85% (7/13) vs 7.14% (1/14)], perigallbladder effusion [76.92% (10/13) vs 14.29% (2/14)], abdominal effusion [46.15% (6/13) vs 7.14% (1/14)] were significantly higher than that of patients with non-purulent cholecystitis, (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients presenting with acute cholecystitis after arrival in Hainan in the short term had more severe inflammation with complications of suppuration, perforation and gangrene. Patients with hypertension and diabetes were the high risk group of patients presenting with acute cholecystitis after short-term arrival in Hainan.

There are still many controversies in the surgical treatment of esophagogastric junction tumors in terms of surgical approach, cleaning range, and resection scope. The reason is the confusion about the scope of the esophagogastric junction. The previous domestic and foreign anatomy descriptions of this part are not enough to solve the current problems. Based on a large number of basic anatomy and clinical operations, this article proposes that the esophagogastric junction may be wrapped by a complete and separate esophagogastric junction membrane with independent anatomy other than infracardiac bursa. The structure of the transitional tissue, mainly from the distribution of submucosal veins, explained the relationship and significance of tissue transitional changes and clinical operations, and made a reasonable analysis of the current controversy based on the anatomical characteristics, which is worthy of further investigation.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore the method and effect of autogenous costal cartilage combined with polytetrafluoroethylene in comprehensive rhinoplasty. Methods: Among the 519 included cases, 441 cases underwent primary rhinoplasty, and 78 cases underwent revision after initial rhinoplasty. The 6th or 7th costal cartilage, with 4-5 cm in thickness, was taken to make a columella supporting graft, a nasal septum extension graft, a lateral foot support graft, and a nose tip shield graft. The nasal shape is corrected by the reconstruction of nasal tip supporting structure. Polytetrafluoroethylene was used as a nasal dorsal graft. Results: After 3-24 months of follow-up, 510 patients received satisfactory nasal tip and nasal dorsum esthetics. One patient had a prosthesis removement one year after surgery. Eight cases showed a decrease in nasal tip excursion 2-6 months postoperatively, with reduced nasal tip prominence. However, satisfactory results obtained, after further correction 6 months later. Conclusions The combination of autogenous costal cartilage and polytetrafluoroethylene for rhinoplasty is an appropriate surgical procedure for Chinese.
