Yttrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy (⁹⁰Y-SIRT) is a treatment technique that delivers radioactive microspheres precisely to the arterial vascular bed of neoplasms, utilizing beta radiation to administer a high local dose of radiation to the neoplasm tissues. This technology has demonstrated significant efficacy in patients with unresectable pirmary liver cancers and liver metastases. This article systematically reviews the development history and clinical application status of ⁹⁰Y-SIRT in the treatment of liver cancer, and looks forward to future development directions.

Objective:To investigate the value of implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) in the diagnosis and treatment of patients over 60 years old with unexplained syncope.Methods:This was a multi-center, prospective cohort study. Between June 2018 and April 2021, patients over the age of 60 with unexplained syncope at Beijing Hospital, Fuwai Hospital, Beijing Anzhen Hospital and Puren Hospital were enrolled. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on their decision to receive ICM implantation (implantation group and conventional follow-up group). The endpoint was the recurrence of syncope and cardiogenic syncope as determined by positive cardiac arrhythmia events recorded at the ICM or diagnosed during routine follow-up. Kaplan‐Meier survival analysis was used to compare the differences of cumulative diagnostic rate between the 2 groups. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to determine independent predictors of diagnosis of cardiogenic syncope in patients with unexplained syncope.Results:A total of 198 patients with unexplained syncope, aged (72.9±8.25) years, were followed for 558.0 (296.0,877.0) d, including 98 males (49.5%). There were 100 (50.5%) patients in the implantation group and 98 (49.5%) in the conventional follow-up group. Compared with conventional follow-up group, patients in the implantation group were older, more likely to have comorbidities, had a higher proportion of first degree atrioventricular block indicated by baseline electrocardiogram, and had a lower body mass index (all P<0.05). During the follow-up period, positive cardiac arrhythmia events were recorded in 58 (58.0%) patients in the ICM group. The diagnosis rate (42.0% (42/100) vs. 4.1% (4/98), P<0.001) and the intervention rate (37.0% (37/100) vs. 2.0% (2/98), P<0.001) of cardiogenic syncope in the implantation group were higher than those in the conventional follow-up group (all P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the cumulative diagnostic rate of cardiogenic syncope was significantly higher in the implantation group than in the traditional follow-up group ( HR=11.66, 95% CI 6.49-20.98, log-rank P<0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that ICM implantation, previous atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus or first degree atrioventricular block in baseline electrocardiogram were independent predictors for cardiogenic syncope (all P<0.05). Conclusions:ICM implantation improves the diagnosis and intervention rates in patients with unexplained syncope, and increases diagnostic efficiency in patients with unexplained syncope.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of robot assisted total gastrectomy plus hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy.Methods:The clinical data of 72 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer and undergoing total gastrectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University from Nov 2021 to May 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into two groups: robot-assisted total gastrectomy (RATG) group, consisting of 30 patients, and laparoscopic assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) group, consisting of 42 patients . In the RATG group, the digestive tract was reconstructed by manual suture under the robot scope and Roux-Y reconstruction was performed . In LATG group, digestive tract reconstruction was performed using an in vitro stapler and Roux-Y. The clinicopathological data, perioperative indexes, and postoperative follow-up data of both groups were observed and analyzed.Results:All 72 patients successfully completed the operation without conversion to open laparotomy. The total operation time in RATG group was longer than that in LATG group [(235.2±25.8) min vs. (200.7±40.6) min, t=4.099, P<0.05)].RATG was superior to LATG group in terms of digestive tract reconstruction time, postoperative fluid intake time and hospitalization days,the difference was statistically significant [(36.9±3.0) min vs.(39.4±4.5) min, (4.2±0.5) d vs. (5.2±0.6) d、(9.5±1.6) d vs. (10.8±2.4)d, t=-2.554,-7.135,-2.595, all P<0.05]; In terms of postoperative pathology, the number of lymph node dissection in RATG group was higher than that in LATG group [(29.8±6.2) vs. (26.3±7.5), t=2.197, P<0.05]. Conclusion:The application of delayed disconnection hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy in Da Vinci robot total gastrectomy is safe and feasible for cure-intent total gastrectomy in patients of gastric carcinoma.

Objective:To compare the clinical value of stent assisted intestinal bypass and temporary loop ileostomy in laparoscopic low anterior resection of rectal cancer.Method:In this retrospective analysis, 57 patients undergoing laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University from Jan 2020 to Jan 2022 were divided into intestinal bypass group (36 cases) and loop ileostomy group (21 cases).Result:There were no significant differences in postoperative GI function recovery and postoperative complication rate between the two groups (all P>0.05). The levels of albumin, prealbumin and hemoglobin in the intestinal bypass group were better than those in the ileostomy group when evaluated on 3rd months after operation [(40.5±2.3) g/L vs. (38.1±2.6)g/L、(26.4±2.7)mg/dl vs. (24.5±2.0)mg/dl、(137.6±5.9) g/L vs. (134.0±7.0) g/L, t=3.605、2.743、2.085, all P<0.05]. Hospital expenses of the intestinal bypass group was lower [(571 000±7 500) yuan vs. (69 300±9 100) yuan, t=-5.477, P<0.05]. Conclusion:Compared with traditional ileostomy, the stent assisted intestinal bypass reduces trauma with lower expenses and improves patients' status after laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer.

COVID-19 is caused by a novel coronavirus-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has being spreading around the world, posing a serious threat to human health and lives. Neutralizing antibodies and small molecule inhibitors for virus replication cycle are the main antiviral treatment for novel coronavirus recommended in China. To further promote the rational use of antiviral therapy in clinical practice, the National Center for Infectious Diseases (Beijing Ditan Hospital Capital Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine) invited experts in fields of infectious diseases, respiratory and intensive care to develop an Expert Consensus on Antiviral Therapy of COVID-19 based on the Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline for COVID-19 ( trial version 10) and experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 in China. The consensus is concise, practical and highly operable, hopefully it would improve the understanding of antiviral therapy for clinicians and provide suggestions for standardized medication in treatment of COVID-19.

Objective : To analyze the application value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the detection of pathogenic bacteria in pulmonary infection ，and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis. Methods : A retrospective study was conducted on 161 patients with suspected pulmonary infection，and samples of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ，sputum and lung tissue were collected specimens ，pleural effusion and blood were simultaneously subjected to routine culture，respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection and pathogenic microorgan- ism mNGS detection．The sensitivity ，specificity，positive predictive value ，and negative predictive value of the three detection methods were calculated respectively to evaluate the clinical application value of mNGS. Results: Among 161 patients with suspected pulmonary infection，113 cases were finally confirmed as pulmonary infection. Among the 161 patients enrolled，the sensitivity and negative predictive value of mNGS were improved compared with routine culture and nucleic acid detection of respiratory pathogens，and the difference was statistically signifi- cant(P＜0. 001) ．Although the specificity of mNGS was higher than that of respiratory pathogen nucleic acid de- tection，the difference was not statistically significant．The positive predictive value of mNGS was the highest，and was higher than that of respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection，but had no statistical significance compared with conventional culture． Conclusion The sensitivity of mNGS in the diagnosis of pathogenic microorganisms in pul- monary infection is higher than that of conventional culture and nucleic acid detection of respiratory pathogens， which reduces the false negative rate of diagnosis and has a better comprehensive evaluation ; conventional culture detection has low sensitivity，but high specificity ; respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection compared with con- ventional culture，the sensitivity is improved，but the specificity decreased.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has emerged as an intractable cancer with scanty therapeutic regimens. The aberrant activation of Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) are reported to be common in CCA patients. However, the underpinning mechanism remains poorly understood. Deubiquitinase (DUB) is regarded as a main orchestrator in maintaining protein homeostasis. Here, we identified Josephin domain-containing protein 2 (JOSD2) as an essential DUB of YAP/TAZ that sustained the protein level through cleavage of polyubiquitin chains in a deubiquitinase activity-dependent manner. The depletion of JOSD2 promoted YAP/TAZ proteasomal degradation and significantly impeded CCA proliferation

Objective:To investigate the anxiety and depression of cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy during the epidemic of COVID-19.Methods:By using self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale, a cross-sectional survey was conducted during the COVID-19 epidemic period.Results:During the COVID-19 epidemic period, the incidence of anxiety and depression in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy was 15.8% and 27.7% respectively, of which 12.9% suffered from both anxiety and depression. The average scores of anxiety and depression were 49.4(25/76) and 46.4(25/83), respectively, which were higher than those of the domestic norm. Age is a contributing factor for anxiety, and patients living in urban are more likely to experience depression.Conclusions:The prevalence of anxiety and depression of cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy are higher than healthy people during the COVID-19 outbreak. We should pay more attention to the psychological states of the cancer patients.

Objective:To explore the safety and feasibility of indocyanine green (ICG) injection through accessory incision in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.Methods:A descriptive case series study was carried out. Clinicopathological data of 29 patients with colon cancer undergoing right hemicolectomy at Department of General Surgery, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients received ICG injection through accessory incision at the beginning of operation.Results:Among 29 patients, 13 were male and 16 were female with a mean age of (60.8±7.7) years and mean body mass index of (24.3±2.8) kg/m 2; 3 were stage I, 19 were stage II, 7 were stage III. Pericolic, intermediate and main lymph nodes could be detected under near infrared fluorescence imaging (NIRFI) in all the cases. No.6 lymph nodes were observed in 3 cases, while no lymph nodes around superior mesenteric vein (SMV) were found. The average number of fluorescent lymph node was 14.2±6.1. The average developing time of fluorescence was (36.2±3.7) minutes. The average number of harvested lymph nodes was 22.4±8.2. There was no extravasation of imaging agent during the operation, and there were no intraoperative complications such as allergies, massive abdominal bleeding, peripheral organ damage, etc. Operative time was (113.1±10.7) minutes, blood loss during operation was (22.4±3.9) ml, ambulatory time was (1.2±0.4) days, time to the first flatus was (1.7±0.7) days, time to the first fluid diet was (0.7±0.4) days, and postoperative hospital stay was (5.8±1.5) days. No operation-associated complications such as anastomotic bleeding, anastomotic leakage, peritoneal bleeding, peritoneal infection, incision infection occurred after operation. Conclusion:ICG injection through accessory incision in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy is safe and feasible.

The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) continues to rise. While many treatment modalities are available, surgery is still the basis of comprehensive treatment of AEG. Siewert type II AEG, is more controversial than the other two types in terms of lymph node metastasis, surgical approach, extent of resection, and digestive tract reconstruction. When the distance of the superior tumor margin is more than 3 cm proximal to the EGJ line is more than 3 cm, thorough mediastinal lymph node dissection should be performed through thoracic approach. Total gastrectomy is the treatment of choice for Siewert type II tumors. When the tumor stage is in an early stage, the length of the tumor is ≤4 cm, and esophageal involvement is less than 3 cm, transthoracic esophagectomy plus proximal gastrectomy is feasible. The digestive tract reconstruction can be based on the experience of the operator and patient's choice of conditions.
