Background: s/Aims: Distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (DPS) is a common surgical procedure for pancreatic body cancer.However, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) utilizing the Warshaw technique (WT) in malignancies is generally not favored due to concerns about inadequate resection. This study aims to assess the feasibility and oncologic outcomes of employing SPDP with WT in pancreatic body cancer. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis comparing 21 SPDP patients with 63 DPS patients matched by propensity score from January 2018 to November 2022. Clinical outcomes and follow-up data were analyzed using R. Results: Both groups exhibited similar demographic, intraoperative, and pathological characteristics, with the exception of a reduced number of total lymph nodes (p = 0.006) in the SPDP group. There were no significant differences in the rates of postoperative complications, recurrence, or metastasis. Local recurrence predominantly occurred in the central region as opposed to the spleen region.There were no cases of isolated recurrences in the splenic region. Median overall survival and recurrence-free survival times were 51.5 months for SPDP vs 30.5 months for DPS and 18.7 months vs 16.8 months, respectively (p > 0.05). The incidence of partial splenic infarction and left-side portal hypertension in the SPDP group was 28.6% (6/21) and 9.5% (2/21), respectively, without necessitating splenic abscess puncture, splenectomy, or causing bleeding from perigastric varices. Conclusions SPDP did not negatively impact local recurrence or survival rates in selected pancreatic body cancer patients. Further studies are necessary for validation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application effect of double-layer soft tissue(DLST)suture closure technique in patients with mandible medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw(MRONJ)of early and medium stages resulted in application of anti-bone-resorptive drugs.Methods:Early to me-dium stage mandible MRONJ patients who underwent surgical treatment in the fourth ward of Peking Uni-versity School and Hospital of Stomatology from October 2021 to September 2022 were included.Clinical information of the patients were collected,including primary disease,concomitant disease,medication regimen(drug type,duration of medication),MRONJ stage,clinical symptoms,imaging manifestations,etc.During surgery,after using marginal mandibulae resection to remove the necrotic bone,the wound was closed using DLST closure technique.Regular post-operative follow-up was performed to evaluate the therapeutic effect and complications of the DLST technique,the pain score and functional status of the patiens were evaluated.Results:This study totally included 13 patients,12 women and 1 man,aged(66.69±13.14)years.Seven patients had osteoporosis,2 had lung cancer,3 had breast cancer and 1 had prostate cancer among their primary diseases;7 had no concomitant diseases,2 had diabetes melli-tus,2 had cardiovascular disease and 1 had dry syndrome.Intravenous zoledronic acid were used in 9 patients,the average duration was(37.7±20.0)months,and other drugs,such as letrozole tablets were taken in 7 patients at the same time;Denosumab injection was used in 3 patients for an average of(10.3±11.9)months;Alendronate sodium tablets were taken in 5 patients for an average of(55.20± 27.20)months,and prednisone acetate tablets or acarbose tablets were taken to varying degrees in 2 pa-tients.The average post-operative follow-up was 11.9 months(9 to 17 months),and all the 13 patients were cured without complications,such as pus overflow and so forth.The pre-operative score of Karnof-sky performance status(KPS)in the patients was 68.46±14.05,and the post-operative score was 82.31±15.36,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The pre-operative score of visual analogue scale(VAS)in the patients was 5.77±0.73 and the post-operative score was 0.38±0.51,and the difference had statistical significance(P＜0.001).Conclusion:The double-layer soft tissue suture closure technique can achieve good clinical results in patients with MRONJ of the man-dible using anti-bone-resorptive drugs alone,and can provide clinical treatment ideas for MRONJ patients with more complicated drug use.

Herpes zoster of trigeminal nerve was a common skin disease caused by varicella-zoster virus infection.Simple involvement of the third branch of trigeminal nerve was rare,and so were oral complica-tions such as pulpitis,periodontitis,spontaneous tooth loss,bone necrosis,etc.This article presented a case of herpes zoster on the third branch of the left trigeminal nerve complicated with left mandibular osteonecrosis.We reported the case of a 64-year-old man with sudden pain in the left half of the tongue 1 month ago,and then herpes on the left facial skin appeared following with acute pain.The local hospital diagnosed it as herpes zoster and treated it with external medication.A few days later,he developed gum pain in the left mandibular posterior tooth area.He was admitted to Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology one week ago with loose and dislodged left posterior tooth accompanied by left mandibular bone surface exposure.Clinical examination showed bilateral symmetry and no obvious restriction of mouth opening.Visible herpes zoster pigmentation and scarring on the left side of the face appeared.The left mandibular posterior tooth was missing,the exposed bone surface was about 1.5 cm x0.8 cm,and the surrounding gingiva was red and swollen,painful under pressure,with no discharge of pus.The re-maining teeth in the mouth were all m degree loosened.Imageological examination showed irregular low-density destruction of the left mandible bone,unclear boundary,and severe resorption of alveolar bone.The patient was diagnosed as left mandibular osteonecrosis.Under general anesthesia,left mandibular le-sion exploration and curettage+left mandibular partial resection+adjacent flap transfer repair were performed.The patient was re-exmained 6 months after surgery,there was no redness,swelling or other abnormality in the gums and the herpes pigmentation on the left face was significantly reduced.Unfortu-nately,the patient had complications of postherpetic neuralgia.This case indicate that clinicians should improve their awareness of jaw necrosis,a serious oral complication of trigeminal zoster,and provide ear-ly treatment.After the inflammation was initially controlled,surgical treatment could be considered to remove the necrotic bone,curettage the inflammatory granulation tissue,and extraction of the focal teeth to avoid further deterioration of the disease.

Male infertility,a common condition in andrology,falls under the category of"no son"in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).Unhealthy eating habits and excessive sexual activity,prevalent due to improved living standards,have contributed to the increasing incidence of male infertility.YE Tianshi proposed the theory of"maintaining with the sweet and restoring the body fluids",which emphasizes the importance of ample body fluid for the nourishment of the male essence chamber.Sufficient body fluid is crucial for normal sperm generation.In TCM,the primary pathogenesis of male infertility involves the loss of body fluids and insufficiency of yin essence.Sweet Chinese herbal medicinal is recommended as it nourishes yin,enriches essence,and replenishes male reproductive essence without producing phlegm and dampness.Therefore,when treating male infertility,attention should be given to the use of sweet Chinese herbal medicinal,adhering to the principle of"abundant body fluids nourish kidney yin,and abundant kidney yin supports semen production".Therapies such as purging fire to preserve body fluids with Zengye Decoction,nourishing yin to enrich essence with Guilu Erxian Decoction,benefiting qi to promote fluid production with Buzhong Yiqi Decoction,and warming yang and transporting fluids with Xianfu Shezi Decoction should be considered.Medication and dosage adjustments should be made based on the specific etiology,pathology,and related symptoms to improve the quality of male sperm and enhance the chances of conception.

Objective:To explore the molecular mechanism of cell death of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with primary gouty arthritis, and provide new idea for the treatment of gout.Methods:Peripheral blood samples and clinical data were collected from 30 patients with acute gout (AG), 30 patients with intermittent gout (IG) and 40 healthy controls(HC). Real-time fluorescence quantitative detection of cell apoptosis related molecules, including the mRNA expression level of nucleotide binding oligomerization domain like domain like receptor protein 3(NLRP3), cysteine aspartic proteinase-1/4/5 (caspase-1/4/5), Gasdermin A/B/C/E. And NLRP3, precursor caspase-1 (pro-caspase-1), clipped caspase-1 (caspase-1 + p10), Gasdermin D(GSDMD), N segment GSDMD (GSDMD-N), precursor IL-1β (pro IL-1β), mature IL-1β (clevated IL-1β)were detected by western blot. The measurement data of normal or approximate normal distribution were analyzed by independent sample t test or one-way variance analysis (ANOVA), the measurement data of non-normal distribution were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis H test, and the counting data was compared by Chi-square test. Pearson's correlation analysis was used for the continuous variables with normal distribution, and Spearman's correlation analysis was used for the continuous variables with non-normal distribution.

In IG group, mRNA expression levels of GS-DMD (3.53±1.53) were lower than those of AG group (4.68±1.43) ( P<0.001).The mRNA expression levels of GS-DMC and GSDME [0.57(0.33, 0.78), (0.32±0.15)]were lower than those of the HC group [0.80 (0.47, 1.86), (1.06 ± 0.36) ( P=0.004, P<0.001), and the mRNA expression levels of GSDME (0.62±0.29) in the IG group were lower ( P=0.004, P<0.001), However, in the IG group, GSDMC and GSDME [0.87 (0.51, 1.53), (0.62±0.29)] were higher than those in the AG group [0.57 (0.33, 0.78), (0.32±0.15)] ( P=0.003, P<0.001). ③ The expression levels of NLRP3, pro-caspase-1, caspase-1 + p10, GSDMD, GSDMD-N, pro-IL-1β, clevated IL-1β protein were statistically different among the three groups [( F=50.04, P<0.001; F=9.65, P=0.013; F=30.71, P=0.001; F=7.38, P=0.024; F=23.66, P=0.001; F=30.11, P=0.001; F=6.01, P=0.036]. The expression of NLRP3 protein in the AG group (1.14±0.12) was significantly higher than that in the IG and HC group (0.35±0.18), (0.17±0.03) (all P=0.001), the expression levels of Pro caspase-1, caspase-1+p10 protein in the AG (1.11±0.15), (0.93±0.38) and IG (0.98±0.14), (1.14±0.17) group were higher than those in the HC (0.42±0.28), (0.29±0.16) ( P=0.006, P=0.015). The expression levels of GSDMD protein in the AG group (1.04±0.16) were higher than those in the IG and HC group(0.53±0.26), (0.39±0.22) ( P=0.029, P=0.011). The expression level of GSDMD-N protein in the AG and IG group (0.97±0.06), (0.90±0.04) was higher than that in the HC (0.27±0.23) ( P=0.001, P=0.001). The expression level of pro-IL-1β protein in the AG group (1.01±0.06) was significantly higher than that in the IG and HC group (0.32±0.14), (0.64±0.11) ( P<0.001, P=0.006), but lower than that in the HC (0.64±0.11) ( P=0.011). The expression of clevated IL-1β protein was higher in the AG group (1.08±0.20) than in the HC group (0.33±0.24) ( P=0.014). ④ Negative correlation between NLRP3, GSDMD and LY ( r=-0.32, P=0.001; r=-0.24, P=0.017) and positive correlation between GSDMD and WBC, GR ( r=0.43, P<0.001; r=0.23, P=0.019) were found and Logistic regression analysis showed that the GSDMD and NLRP3 were risk factors for AG [ OR ( 95%CI)=11.29 (3.92, 32.48), P<0.001; OR( 95%CI)=2.21(1.00, 4.85), P=0.049]. GSDMD was risk factor for IG [ OR( 95%CI)=6.84(2.52, 18.53), P<0.001]; While GSDMD was the protective factor for IG [ OR( 95%CI)=0.61(0.41, 0.30), P=0.013]. Conclusion:The expression's of NLRP3, Caspase-1 and GSDMD are increased in PBMCs of AG patients, while the expression's of GSDMC and GSDME are decreased. NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD may be associated with the onset of acute gouty arthritis.

Objective:To produce 161Tb from enriched 160Gd 2O 3 isotope-enriched target material and realize domestic production of the novel medical isotope 161Tb. Methods:The 160Gd 2O 3 isotope-enriched target material was irradiated with neutrons by the China Mianyang Research Reactor (CMRR). The no-carrier-added 161Tb product was obtained after the processes of target broken, sample dissolution, separation and purification with lanthanide (LN) resin and solution replacement with diglycolamide (DGA) column. Various key indicators such as γ spectral purity, metal impurity content, specific activity, radiochemical purity, and radioactive concentration were used to conduct the quality inspection and the control of 161Tb products. Results:161TbCl 3 of 33.4 GBq was obtained in a single time with the radioactive concentration of 16.8 GBq/ml, nuclear purity more than 99.9%, and radiochemical purity of 99.2%. Metal impurity content was met the established standards, with the specific activity of 6.02×10 17 Bq/mol. The radiochemical purities of 161Tb labeling with 1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraacetic acid- D-Phe1-Tyr3-Thr8-octreotide (DOTATATE) after 0 and 72 h were 100% and 95.8% respectively. Conclusion:The preparation of no-carrier-added 161Tb by using LN resin has the advantages of high separation performance and high sample loading, which has great significance in the field of medical isotope preparation and lays a good nuclide guarantee for the research and development of domestic 161Tb-labeled drugs.

Objective:To explore effects of different loading modes of non-woven fabric and Tyvek packaging materials on degree of hydrogen peroxide adsorption and pressure during injection during low temperature plasma sterilization.Methods:From April to June 2019, 6 empty silicone resin instrument boxes were divided into two packaging methods in Disinfectant Supply Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, 3 of which were double-packed with 100 cm 2 non-woven fabric and 3 of which were single-packed with 60 cm×20 cm Tvek paper-plastic bags. In the control group, the 3 non-woven packages to be sterilized were placed on the upper shelf of the sterilizer, and the 3 Tyvek packages to be sterilized were placed on the lower shelf. The loading order of the experimental group was reversed. The three packages of Tyvek packaging to be sterilized were placed on the upper shelf, and the three packages of non-woven packaging were placed on the lower shelf. The loading capacity of the two methods was 70%, and 20 times of sterilization were respectively carried out according to the normal process. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide adsorbed by the sterile bags was detected immediately after sterilization, and the pressure during each injection period was recorded. Results:The adsorption concentrations of hydrogen peroxide in sterile packages of non-woven fabric and Tevek in the experimental group were respectively (11.120±4.187) ppm and (8.205±4.181) ppm, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.203, P<0.05) . The adsorption concentrations of hydrogen peroxide of the two packaging materials in the control group were respectively (13.745±3.754) ppm and (8.065±4.599) ppm, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.279, P<0.01) . The difference in the adsorption concentration of non-woven fabrics between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=2.088, P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in the adsorption of Tyvek between the two groups ( t=0.164, P>0.05) . The pressure during injection of the experimental group was (9.410±0.188) Torr, and that of the control group was (9.121±0.243) Torr, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.215, P<0.01) . Conclusions:When low temperature plasma sterilization of hydrogen peroxide is carried out, Tyvek packaging has adsorption of weak hydrogen peroxide, so it is more suitable for sterilization. In the mixed loading, the sterilization packages packed with Tyvek and non-woven fabric are respectively placed on the upper and lower layers, which can reduce the adsorption amount of hydrogen peroxide of packaging materials, improve the pressure during the injection period of sterilization and ensure the sterilization quality.

Objective    To explore the early clinical outcomes of patients with acute type A aortic dissection and intramural hematoma. Methods    The clinical data of 61 patients with acute type A aortic dissection or intramural hematoma in our hospital from January 23, 2020 to March 10, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 43 males and 18 females, aged 22-81 (52.1±13.0) years. The patient's time of visit, clinical characteristics and early survival were analyzed. Kaplan-Mier survival curve and log-rank test were used for the survival analysis. Results    There were 48 (78.7%) patients diagnosed with acute type A aortic dissection and 13 (21.3%) patients with intramural hematoma; 34 patients received operation and 11 were emergent. The 30-day mortality was 2.9% among the patients receiving operation. There were 48 patients alive and 13 patients dead during the study period. The cumulative survival rates for all the patients on postoperative 1 day, 3 days and 7 days were 93.4%, 86.4% and 77.5%, respectively. The cumulative survival rates for the patients with dissection on postoperative 1 day, 3 days and 7 days were 95.7%, 88.7% and 79.4%, respectively. The cumulative survival rates for the patients with hematoma on postoperative 1 day, 3 days and 7 days were 92.3%, 84.6% and 84.6%, respectively. The difference of survival rates between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The cumulative survival rate of all the patients on postoperative 14 days was 74.5%. No statistically significant difference in survival rate on postoperative 14 days was found between patients with intramural hematoma and patients with aortic dissection (P>0.05). The proportions of the patients with unstable hemodynamics were found statistically significant between the survival patients and the dead patients (P<0.05). Conclusion    Patients with acute aortic dissection and intramural hematoma who survive to the hospital still have the risk of death under active drug therapy, and rupture of the dissection is the leading cause of death in these patients, especially for those with hemodynamic unstability.
