ObjectiveBased on the ultrastructure of enteric nervous system (ENS)-platelet-derived growth factor receptor α positive (PDGFRα+) cell - smooth muscle cell (SMC) network, the effect and mechanism of Shuwei Decoction (舒胃汤) for rats with functional dyspepsia (FD) of liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome were explored. MethodsFifty SD rats were divided into blank group, model group, low-, medium- and high-dose Shuwei Decoction groups randomly, with 10 rats in each group. The blank group was not set up, and the other 4 groups were set up with the modified composite cause (chronic restraint stress + tail irritation + excessive fatigue + diet disorder) for 21 days, resulting in FD model rats with liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome. After successful modelling, rats in the low-, medium- and high-dose groups were given 3.78, 7.56 and 15.12 g/(kg·d) of Shuwei Decoction by gavage, respectively, while rats in the blank group and the model group were given 10 ml/(kg·d) of saline by gavage; all of them were given gavage once a day for 14 days. Body mass increase were collected before and after gavage, and compared after the experiment; the elevated cross maze experiment was conducted to observe the percentage of staying time and the percentage of times entering the open arm of rats; the gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate were measured by black semi-solid paste; HE staining was used to observe histopathology of the gastric antrum; the Western Blotting and RT-qPCR were used to detect the expression levels of PDGFRα, small conductance calcium activated potassium (SK3), and purinergic G protein-coupled receptor P2Y1 (P2Y1 R), and mRNA expression in gastric antrum; immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the co-localization of PDGFRα with receptor tyrosine kinase (C-kit), protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5), Sk3, and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in gastric sinusoidal tissues; and transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructure of the ENS-PDGFRα+ cell-SMC network. ResultsHE staining results showed that the mucosal folds of gastric tissue were clear in all groups, no organic lesions such as bleeding, ulceration and swelling were observed, and the arrangement of gastric glands in the lamina propria of gastric sinusoidal tissues in model group and low-dose Shuwei Decoction group was disordered. The arrangement of gastric glands in lamina propria in medium- and high-dose Shuwei Decoction groups was more orderly, and the lesion degree was less than that in model group and low-dose Shuwei Decoction group. Compared with the blank group, the growth value of body mass, the percentage of open arm retention time, the percentage of times entering the open arm, the small intestine propulsion rate, and the gastric empty rate of rats in the model group significantly decreased after gavage; the expressions of PDGFRα, Sk3, P2Y1 protein and mRNA in gastric sinusoidal tissues decreased; the co-localization expression of PDGFRα with C-kit, Sk3, SMC and PGP9.5 significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the ultrastructure of ENS-PDGFRα+ cell-SMC network was damaged without gap junction. Compared with model group and low-dose Shuwei Decoction group, the growth value of body mass, the percentage of open arm retention time, the percentage of times entering the open arm, the small intestine propulsion rate, and the gastric empting rate of rats in medium- and high-dose Shuwei Decoction groups increased after gavage; the expressions of PDGFRα, Sk3, P2Y1 protein and mRNA in gastric sinusoidal tissues increased; the co-localization expression of PDGFRα with C-kit, Sk3, SMC and PGP9.5 significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the ultrastructure of ENS-PDGFRα+ cell-SMC network was intact. Compared with medium-dose Shuwei Decoction group, the protein expressions of PDGFRα, Sk3 and P2Y1, the mRNA expressions of PDGFRα and Sk3, and the co-localization expressions of PDGFRα and C-kit, Sk3, SMC, and PGP9.5 in high-dose Shuwei Decoction group increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ConclusionShuwei Decoction can improve the pathological lesion of the gastric antrum in the FD model rats with liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome and increase the gastric emptying rate as well as the small intestinal propusion rate. The mechanism of Shuwei Decoction on FD rats with liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome is related to the protection of the ultrastructural integrity of ENS-PDGFRα+ cell-SMC network.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of the TRIANGLE operation after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced pancreatic cancer(LAPC).Methods:This study is a retrospective case series analysis. Between January 2020 and December 2022, a total of 103 patients were diagnosed as LAPC who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy at the Pancreas Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Among them, 26 patients (25.2%) underwent the TRIANGLE operation. There were 15 males and 11 females,with a age of (59±7) years (range: 49 to 74 years). The pre-treatment serum CA19-9( M(IQR)) was 248.8(391.6)U/ml (range: 0 to 1 428 U/ml),and the serum carcinoembryonic antigen was 4.1(3.8)μg/L(range: 1.4 to 13.4 μg/L). The neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens included: mFOLFIRINOX regimen in 6 cases(23.1%), GnP regimen in 14 cases(53.8%), and mFOLFIRINOX+GnP regimen in 6 cases(23.1%). The follow-up duration extended until June 2023 or until the occurrence of the patient′s death or loss to follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier method was employed to estimate the 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates. Results:After neoadjuvant chemotherapy,CA19-9 levels decreased by 92.3(40.1)%(range:2.1% to 97.7%). Evaluation of the response to treatment revealed 13 cases(50.0%) of stable disease,11 cases(42.3%) of partial response,and 2 cases(7.7%) of complete response. The surgical operation consisted of 12 cases(46.2%) of pancreaticoduodenectomy,12 cases(46.2%) of distal pancreatectomy,and 2 cases(7.7%) of total pancreatectomy. Margin determination was based on the “standardised pathology protocol” and the “1 mm” principle. No R2 and R1(direct) resections were observed,while the R0 resection rate was 61.5%(16/26), and the R1(1 mm) resection rate was 38.5%(10/26).The R1(1 mm) resection rates for the anterior margin,posterior margin,transected margin,portal vein groove margin,and uncinate margin were 23.1%(6/26),19.2%(5/26),12.5%(3/24),2/14, and 1/12, respectively. The overall postoperative complication rate was 57.8%(15/26),with major complications including grade B/C pancreatic fistula 25.0%(6/24,excluding 2 cases of total pancreatectomy),delayed gastric emptying in 23.1%(6/26),wound complications 11.5%(3/26),postoperative hemorrhage 7.7%(2/26), chylous fistula 7.7%(2/26) and bile fistula 3.8%(1/26). No reoperation was performed during the perioperative period(<90 days). One patient died on the 32 nd day postoperatively due to a ruptured pseudoaneurysm. A total of 25 patients were followed up,with a follow-up time of 21(24)months(range: 8 to 42 months). During the follow-up period,8 cases(32.0%) died due to tumor recurrence and metastasis,while 17 patients(68.0%) remained alive,including 11 cases of disease-free survival,5 cases of distant metastasis,and 1 case of local recurrence. The overall survival rates at 1- and 3-year after the initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy were 95.8% and 58.9%, respectively. The overall survival rates at 1- and 3-year after surgery were 77.7% and 57.8%, respectively. Conclusion:Performing pancreatoduodenectomy according to the Heidelberg triangle protocol in LAPC patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy might increase the R0 resection rate without increasing perioperative mortality or the incidence of major postoperative complications.

OBJECTIVE To learn the practical experience of medical insurance payment standards adjustment in Japan and South Korea, which will serve as a reference for the improvement of simple renewal mechanism in China. METHODS Retrieving relevant literature from CNKI and related policy documents from official websites of Japan and South Korea, the medical insurance payment standards adjustment practice in Japan and South Korea would be elucidated from 2 perspectives of adjustment criteria and formulas, and then were compared with the current simple renewal mechanism in China to clarify the areas where simple renewal mechanism in China can be optimized and propose several suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS In terms of adjustment methods, Japan and South Korea were similar to China. For excessive drugs, the reduction rate of drugs was calculated based on the situation of excess and adjustments were implemented; however, there were differences in the specific adjustment criteria and formulas. Japan and South Korea adopted a linear price reduction approach for drugs with significant oversupply, while China adopted a gradient price reduction approach for drugs with both current and expected oversupply. The results of the comparative analysis show that China has initially established simple renewal mechanisms that are in line with the national conditions and the actual medical insurance situation, and has taken some innovative measures, including considering the current and expected oversupply of drugs and introducing a halving mechanism in the adjustment formula. However, there are also certain shortcomings, such as a relatively single set of indicators for adjusting conditions and a too broad range of gradient price reduction in adjustment formulas, which fail to fully reflect the market-oriented mechanism of “volume for price”. It is recommended that China’s medical insurance department increase consideration of drug fund expenditures, refine the gradient price reduction range of adjustment formulas, increase policy preferences for special category drugs when adding new indications, and further improve the mechanism for simple renewal.

Over the years of exploration and development, the surgical techniques and prognosis of liver transplantation in China have been significantly improved, resulting in a notable decrease in the prevalence of postoperative complications. However, ischemic-type biliary lesion remain a non-negligible issue. The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University formulated and published the "Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Ischemic-Type Biliary Lesions after Liver Transplantation in Mainland China" in 2015, which has now been updated into a guideline based on current conditions and literature reports. This guideline elaborates in detail on the definition, incidence, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention of high-risk factors, and treatment of ischemic-type biliary lesion, aiming to provide standardized and normative guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of ischemic-type biliary lesion after liver transplantation, thereby reducing the rate of re-transplantation and fatality, and to improve the overall quality of life of liver transplant recipients.
