Objective:To investigate the effect of Hong's One Stitch Method in pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD).Methods:A total of 40 patients who underwent PD in our hospital from Jan 2021 to Dec 2022 were divided into two groups according to random number table method,with 20 patients in each group.The control group was treated with end to end pancreatojejunal anastomosis,and the observation group was treated with"Hong's One Stitch Method".The perioperative indicators,complications,secondary surgery,mortality and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results:The pancreatoenteroanastomosis time,operation time and hospitalization time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group,and the incidence of pancreatic fistula was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss,pancreatic biochemical leakage,bile fistula,hemorrhage,localized abdominal infection,gastric emptying obstruction,pulmonary infection,secondary surgery and mortality between the two groups(P＞0.05).The mental health score,emotional function score,social function score,energy score,general health status score,body pain score,and physiological function score in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:In PD surgery,the application of"Hong's One Stitch Method"to perform pancreatoenterostomy is beneficial to shorten the pancreatoenterostomy time,operation time and hospitalization time,accelerate the postoperative recovery,reduce the incidence of pancreatic fistula,and improve the quality of life of patients.

Background/Aims: Ubiquitination is widely involved in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by regulating various cellular processes. However, systematic strategies for screening core ubiquitin-related genes, clarifying their functions and mechanisms, and ultimately developing potential therapeutics for patients with HCC are still lacking. Methods: Cox and LASSO regression analyses were performed to construct a ubiquitin-related gene prediction model for HCC. Loss- and gain-of-function studies, transcriptomic and metabolomics analysis were used to explore the function and mechanism of UBE2S on HCC cell glycolysis and growth. Results: Based on 1,423 ubiquitin-related genes, a four-gene signature was successfully constructed to evaluate the prognosis of patients with HCC. UBE2S was identified in this signature with the potential to predict the survival of patients with HCC. E2F2 transcriptionally upregulated UBE2S expression by directly binding to its promoter. UBE2S positively regulated glycolysis in a HIF-1α-dependent manner, thus promoting the proliferation of HCC cells. Mechanistically, UBE2S enhanced K11-linkage polyubiquitination at lysine residues 171 and 196 of VHL independent of E3 ligase, thereby indirectly stabilizing HIF-1α protein levels by mediating the degradation of VHL by the proteasome. In particular, the combination of cephalomannine, a small molecule compound that inhibits the expression of UBE2S, and PX-478, an inhibitor of HIF-1α, significantly improved the anti-tumor efficacy. Conclusions UBE2S is identified as a key biomarker in HCC among the thousands of ubiquitin-related genes and promotes glycolysis by E3 enzyme-independent ubiquitination, thus serving as a therapeutic target for the treatment of HCC.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and laboratory diagnostic methods of infant botulism caused by Clostridium botulinum type B. Methods:Clinical data of 3 infants with type B botulism who were admitted to Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from May to November 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Botulinum toxin was detected in fecal samples or fecal enrichment solution of the patients, and Clostridium botulinum was cultured and isolated from fecal samples. Results:The age of onset of the patients (two boys and one girl) was 3, 3 and 8 months old, respectively. Two cases had the onset in May and one case had the onset in November. There were two cases with mixed feeding and one case with breast feeding. One case′s family members engaged in meat processing. All of them were previously healthy. All the children presented with acute flaccid paralysis, cranial nerve involvement and difficult defecation. Two cases had secondary urinary tract infection. Electromyograms of two cases showed that action potential amplitude of the motor nerve were lower than those of their peers. After treatments including intravenous human immunoglobulin, respiratory tract management, urethral catheterization, nasal feeding, etc., three cases recovered completely 2 to 4 months later. Type B botulinum toxin was detected in the fecal diluent of one patient, and the TPGYT enrichment solution and cooked meet medium of the feces of 3 patients, respectively. Clostridium botulinum B was identified from the feces of 3 infants after culture, isolation and purification. Conclusions:Combined with typical clinical manifestations including acute flaccid paralysis, cranial nerve involvement symptoms and difficult defecation examination, infant botulism can be clinically diagnosed. The detection of fecal botulinum toxin and the culture and isolation of Clostridium botulinum are helpful for the diagnosis.

Objective To explore the impact of work-family conflict on job satisfaction and turnover intention of anesthesiologists in Heilongjiang Province.Methods Questionnaire survey was used for data collection.Descriptive statistics,Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate linear hierarchy regression analysis were performed to analyze the impact of work-family conflict on job satisfaction and turnover intention of anesthesiologists.Results The average value of work-family conflict among anesthesiologists was (2.99 ± 0.57).The finding indicated that work-family conflict of anesthesiologists had a significant negative effect on job satisfaction (β=-0.248,P＜0.01) and a positive effect on turnover intention (β=0.329,P＜0.01).Conclusion Anesthesiologists' work-family conflict is above the middle level in Heilongjiang Province.The work-family conflict of anesthesiologists can reduce job satisfaction and increase turnover intention.

Objective To examine the current situation of the career plateau among anesthesiologists and analyze the impact of occupational stressors on it. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted on the anesthesiologists. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed and 278 questionnaires were effectively collected. Statistical analysis using SPSS 19.0 was performed to assess the status quo of career plateau among anesthesiologists. Pearson correlation analysis and stepwise regression analysis were used to analyze the influence of occupational stressors on career plateau . Results The average value of occupational stressors among anesthesiologists was (3.22±0.55), and the average value of career plateau was (3.90±0.70). Occupational interest in the occupational stressors of anesthesiologists is negatively correlated with the occupational plateau (r=-0.552, P<0.01), and career development is negatively correlated with occupational plateau (r=-0.541, P<0.01) as well. Both occupational interest and career development show a negative predictive effect on the career plateau (β=-0.359, P<0.01 andβ=-0.334, P<0.01, respectively). Conclusion Career plateau among anesthesiologists is at a medium-to-high level. Occupational interest and occupational development in occupational stressors have a negative predictive effect on occupational plateaus, so hospital managers should pay attention to them.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of single or double-antibiotic regimen for the treatment of complicated appendicitis in children,with the purpose to guide the rational use of antibiotics in clinic.Methods Six hundred and sixty-three patients with acute appendicitis admitted to the department of pediatric surgery in Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital between March 2011 and February 2015.One hundred and seventy-two of 663 patients with complicated appendicitis which confirmed by intra-operative macroscopic or post-operative pathological examination were eligible for the study.These patients were divided into two groups based on the regimen of their postoperative antibiotics:single or double-antibiotic regimen(treatment group,n=66);triple antibiotics regimen(control group,n=106).Demographic data,blood routine test and C-response protein(CRP),length of hospital stay,postoperative complications and duration of antibiotic treatment were recorded and statistically analyzed.Results There was no difference between the treatment group and control group with respect to age distribution,blood routine examination and CRP, length of hospital stay, duration of antibiotic treatment or postoperative complications.Although the number of patients changed of antibiotics on the basis of bacterial culture of pyogenic fluids in treatment group were more frequently than those in the control group(7/66 vs.1/106), the therapeutic effective rate of changed of antibiotics was 100% in both two groups.The culture positive rate of peritoneal fluids was 72.09% (124/172), the most common pathogens were escherichia coli(80.15%, 105/131),pseudomonas aeruginosa(5.34%,7/131)and klebsiella pneumonia (3.05%,4/131).The results of bacterial culture of peogenic fluids showed no difference in both two groups.Conclusion Children with complicated appendicitis can be managed effectively with single or double broad-spectrum antibiotics after appendectomy,and it may be beneficial to guide the rational use of antibiotics and decrease the irrational use of multi-antibiotics combination in clinic.

BACKGROUND: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) following internal fixation of femoral neck fractures is difficult to be cured in clinic.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the literatures concerning ONFH in patients with femoral neck fractures treated with screw internal fixation in recent 15 years, and to summarize the research progress in views of epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis,treatment and rehabilitation.METHODS: Databases of CNKI, WanFang, CqVip, PubMed, Medline, Web of Science were searched with the keywords of femoral neck fracture, osteonecrosis of femoral head, osteonecrosis, internal fixation, internal fixation with screw in English and Chinese, respectively. Afterwards, the reviews and case reports were excluded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) A total of 54 eligible articles addressing the ONFH following internal fixation for femoral neck fractures were included, and the incidence of ONFH varied from 8.1% to 37.2%, which was found at an average of 17 months after injury. (2) ONFH was found to be related to age, preoperative fracture displacement, preoperative traction,reduction condition, time from injury to operation, elderly patients companied with other diseases, older patients undergoing removal of the screws, closed or open internal fixation, restored time postoperatively, high body mass index, hyperlipidemia, season, and depression. (3) Early prevention and remedial surgery were used to treat ONFH. (4) The patients without weight-bearing activities at 3-6 months postoperatively could be beneficial for functional recovery. (5) These results suggest that choosing appropriate surgical programs and rehabilitation plan can reduce the incidence of ONFH and achieve good treatment outcomes, such as reasonable preoperative planning, standardized operation skills, correct diagnosis and treatment, proper postoperative rehabilitation and good doctor-patient cooperation.

Objective To investigate the prenatal diagnosis and postnatal clinical outcomes of fetal congenital choledochal cyst (CCC) to improve the recognition and treatment of fetal CCC.Methods Clinical data of 23 cases of fetal CCC which were diagnosed during routine prenatal ultrasonic examination in Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital from June 2009 to May 2015 were retrospectively analyzzed. Maternal age, gestational age at diagnosis of CCC, location and size of cyst, postnatal examination, age at operation and follow-up outcomes were recorded and statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon rank-sum test.Results (1) Among the 23 cases, six (26%) were terminated and the rest 17 continued their pregnancies (74%). (2) Results of the prenatal ultrasonography of the 23 cases indicated that hepatic portal cysts were closely related to hepatic portal veins or arteries. Six of the cysts communicated with gall bladder and eight connected to intrahepatic bile duct. The maximum diameter of the cysts in the 23 cases was 16.0-31.0 mm, averagely (24.7±3.7) mm. The maximum diameter of cysts diagnosed in the third trimester was significantly larger than that in the second trimester [ 27.0 (22.0-31.0) vs 23.0 (21.0-25.0) mm,Z=-2.134,P<0.05]. (3) Among the 17 cases of continued pregnancy, one underwent cesarean section at 35+ weeks of gestation and 16 delivered at term with the average gestational age at delivery of (38.2±1.1) weeks. All neonates were re-examined by abdominal ultrasound at 1-2 postnatal weeks and confimed prenatal diagnosed of CCC. (4) The 17 neonates were re-examined by abdominal ultrasound during the second postnatal week and the results showed that cyst size remained the same in four, decreased in one and gradually increased with the gestational age in 12 neonates. Among the 16 cases of confirmed CCC, 12 received surgery, including 11 (Ⅰa, 6;Ⅰc, 3;Ⅳb, 2) within one year-old and one (Ⅰc) around 18 months old. The prognosis was uneventful. Four out of the 16 cases rejected surgical operation and were followed up in outpatient. One neonate was diagnosed with congenital biliary atresia and transferred to Children's Hospital for operation.Conclusions When fetal abdominal cyst presented with hepatic portal cyst which communicates with gallbladder or intra-hepatic duct in ultrasonography, a congenital choledochal cyst should be taken into consideration by excluding the possibility of biliary atresia in the first place. Surgery for CCC infants without symptoms or signs is suggested to be performed around three months after birth. The postoperative prognosis of CCC is favorable, so termination is not recommended for gravidas with fetal CCC in prenatal consultation.

Objective Few researches are reported on the association of integrinαvβ6 with vaginal mucous infection and de-fense.This study aimed to investigate the effects of IL-6, TGF-β, and IFN-γon the expression of integrinαvβ6 in the vaginal epithelial cell line VK2/E6E7. Methods Immortalized human vaginal epi-thelial cells (VK2/E6E7) were cultured in vitro and treated with gra-dient concentrations of IL-6 (1, 10, 50, and 100 ng/mL), TGF-β(0.1, 1, 10, and 100 ng/mL), and IFN-γ(50, 500, 2500, and 5000 U/L) , respectively.After 48 hours, the cells were collected and total RNA extracted by the Trizol method to be reversely tran-scribed to cDNA. The expressions of integrin αand β6 subunit mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Results In the IL-6-treated VK2/E6E7 cells, the integrin αand β6 subunit mRNA expressions were significantly lower in the 1 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL groups but remarkably higher in the 100 ng/mL group (1.14 ±0.12 and 1.37 ±0.25) than in the blank control (1.00 ±0.09) (P<0.05), and only the expression ofβ6 subunit mRNA was elevated in the 50 ng/mL group (P<0.05), with the expressions increased in a concentration-dependent manner.In the TGF-βtreated VK2/E6E7 cells, the expressions of integrinαandβ6 subunit mRNA were significantly lower in the 0.1 ng/mL and 1 ng/mL groups but remarkably higher in the 100 ng/mL group than in the blank control (1.00 ±0.09) (P<0.01), and only the expression ofβ6 subunit mRNA was elevated in the 10 ng/mL group (4.31 ±0.78, P<0.01), with the expressions increased in a concentration-dependent manner.In the IFN-γtreated VK2/E6E7 cells, the expressions of both integrinαandβ6 subunit mRNA were significantly lower in the 50 U/L, 500 U/L, 2500 U/L, and 5000 U/L groups than in the blank control (all P<0.01). Conclusion IL-6 and TGF-βhave an inhibitory effect the expression ofαvβ6 in VK2/E6E7 cells at low concentrations, which gradually diminishes with the increased concentration of inflammatory factors.In the early stage of inflammation, IFN-γcan effectively suppress the expression ofαvβ6 at a high concentration.However, with the progression of inflammation and decrease of its concentration, IFN-γloses its inhibi-tory effect and therefore does not help inflammation control.
