Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of modified gasless trans-subclavian approach endoscopic total thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of consecutive 82 patients with PTC who underwent the modified gasless trans-subclavian approach endoscopic total thyroidectomy in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery,Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,Affiliated with the Zhejiang University School of Medicine,from March 2022 to June 2023.Results All operations were successfully completed under endoscopy approach without transfer to open surgery.The maximum diameter of PTC was(6.6±5.4)mm.The operation duration was(156.5±32.7)min,and the number of lymph nodes in the central compartment was(12.3±6.4).The postoperative hospital stay was(3.3±1.2)d.Postoperative complications included two cases of transient hypoparathyroidism and six cases of transient recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.All the patients recovered in one month.One case of postoperative bleeding was observed.No permanent laryngeal nerve injury,permanent hypoparathyroidism or incision infection occurred.Conclusion The gasless trans-subclavian approach endoscopic total thyroidectomy is a feasible and safety approach in selected PTC patients.The lymph nodes in the central compartment are thoroughly dissected.This approach has obvious advantages in functional protection of the anterior cervical region,and has clinical application value.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between intracerebral high-density foci and progressive stroke (PS) morbidity by using dual-energy CT, which can quantify the intracerebral high-density foci of patients with acute ischemic stroke after endovascular treatment.Methods:Ninety-two patients with acute ischemic stroke who received interventional treatment in Gaozhou People′s Hospital from May 2019 to August 2020, and underwent dual-energy CT scan immediately after intervention, were analyzed. The patients were divided into PS group ( n=35) and non-PS group ( n=57) according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and the patients whose NIHSS score increased≥4 points within 72 hours of stroke were included in the PS group, while the patients whose NIHSS score increased<4 points were included in the non-PS group. The clinical data, volume of high-density foci and CT values were compared between the 2 groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to adjust for confounding factors and screen for risk factors. The correlations of the admission NIHSS score, presence and volume of high-density lesions, maximum CT (CTmax) value and average CT (CTave) value with the onset of PS were analyzed, and the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to screen predictive indicators of PS. Results:In the PS group, the NIHSS score (18.80±8.50 vs 14.40±9.58, t=2.229, P=0.028), proportion of high-density foci [29/35(82.9%) vs 32/57 (56.1%), χ 2=6.928, P=0.008], high-density focal volume [13.23 (39.33) cm 3vs 0.76 (9.82) cm 3, U=1 440.000, P<0.001], CTmax value [80.00 (92.00) HU vs 65.00 (87.50) HU, U=1 337.000, P=0.005] and CTave value [53.48 (23.79) HU vs 45.94 (55.11) HU, U=1 345.000, P=0.004] were higher than those in the non-PS group. The NIHSS score ( OR=1.054, 95% CI 1.004-1.106, P=0.033; rs=0.255, 95% CI 0.051-0.447, P=0.014), presence of high-density foci ( OR=3.776, 95% CI 1.358-10.503, P=0.011; rs=0.274, 95% CI 0.093-0.460, P=0.008), high-density focal volume ( OR=1.026, 95% CI 1.003-1.049, P=0.027; rs=0.381, 95% CI 0.183-0.560, P<0.001), CTmax value ( OR=1.006, 95% CI 1.001-1.011, P=0.014; rs=0.292, 95% CI 0.088-0.475, P=0.005) and CTave value ( OR=1.021, 95% CI 1.007-1.035, P=0.004; rs=0.299, 95% CI 0.092-0.484, P=0.004) were all risk factors affecting PS morbidity and were positively correlated with PS morbidity. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of NIHSS score, high-density lesion volume, CTmax value, and CTave value to predict the onset of PS was 0.652, 0.722, 0.670 and 0.674, respectively. The volume of high-density lesions had moderate predictive value for the onset of PS. Conclusions:For AIS patients, CT examination should be performed immediately after interventional operation. The volume, CTmax value and CTave value of high-density lesions newly appeared in the ischemic area are positively correlated with the onset of PS. Quantifying the volume of high-density lesions can help to predict the onset of PS.

Objective To investigate the role of Glutathione peroxidase 2(GPX2)in the occurrence and progres-sion of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC).Methods The Omicshare website was used to analyze GPX2 ex-pression levels in ICC.The expression levels in ICC were validated using quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR(RT-qPCR),Western blot,and immunohistochemistry.Stable GPX2 knockdown and overexpression HuC-CT1 cell lines were constructed.The effects of GPX2 on ICC cell proliferation,migration,apoptosis,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)were investigated using colony formation assays,cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)as-says,wound healing assays,Transwell assays,and flow cytometry.A mouse model of cholangiocarcinoma was con-structed to assess GPX2 expression in mouse cholangiocarcinoma tissues.Results Based on the analysis results from the Omicshare website,GPX2 was generally upregulated in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)(P＜0.001).Western blot(P＜0.000 1),RT-qPCR(P＜0.001),and immunohistochemistry experiments showed that,compared to adjacent non-cancerous tissues,the expression of GPX2 was significantly elevated in ICC.When GPX2 was knocked down,the colony formation rate of cells decreased significantly(P＜0.01),and the prolifera-tion capacity was reduced(P＜0.001).Conversely,overexpression of GPX2 led to a significant increase in colony formation rate(P＜0.01)and enhanced proliferation capacity(P＜0.01).Results from wound healing and Tran-swell assays demonstrated that GPX2 knockdown slowed down cell wound healing(P＜0.01)and reduced migra-tion ability(P＜0.01).Additionally,GPX2 knockdown resulted in an increase in E-cadherin(P＜0.01)and a decrease in N-cadherin(P＜0.01)and Vimentin(P＜0.05).On the other hand,overexpression of GPX2 accel-erated wound healing(P＜0.05)and enhanced migration ability(P＜0.05),while E-cadherin expression de-creased(P＜0.05)and N-cadherin(P＜0.01)and Vimentin(P＜0.001)expression increased.Flow cytometry for apoptosis and Western blot experiments indicated that GPX2 knockdown increased the apoptosis rate(P＜0.001),decreased the expression of Bcl-2(P＜0.001),and increased the expression of BAX(P＜0.01).But overexpression of GPX2 reduced the apoptosis rate(P＜0.01),increased Bcl-2 expression(P＜0.000 1),and decreased BAX expression(P＜0.001).Finally,elevated levels of GPX2 were observed in a mouse model of cholangiocarcinoma.Conclusion GPX2 is highly expressed in human and mouse cholangiocarcinoma tissues,and it may enhance cholangiocarcinoma cell proliferation and migration,promote tumor cell EMT,and inhibit tumor cell apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension, which should aid the development of TIPS in China.Methods:The China Portal Hypertension Alliance (CHESS) initiated this study that comprehensively investigated the basic situation of TIPS for portal hypertension in China through network research. The survey included the following: the number of surgical cases, main indications, the development of Early-TIPS, TIPS for portal vein cavernous transformation, collateral circulation embolization, intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurement, commonly used stent types, conventional anticoagulation and time, postoperative follow-up, obstacles, and the application of domestic instruments.Results:According to the survey, a total of 13 527 TIPS operations were carried out in 545 hospitals participating in the survey in 2021, and 94.1% of the hospital had the habit of routine follow-up after TIPS. Most hospitals believed that the main indications of TIPS were the control of acute bleeding (42.6%) and the prevention of rebleeding (40.7%). 48.1% of the teams carried out early or priority TIPS, 53.0% of the teams carried out TIPS for the cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and 81.0% chose routine embolization of collateral circulation during operation. Most of them used coils and biological glue as embolic materials, and 78.5% of the team routinely performed intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurements. In selecting TIPS stents, 57.1% of the hospitals woulel choose Viator-specific stents, 57.2% woulel choose conventional anticoagulation after TIPS, and the duration of anticoagulation was between 3-6 months (55.4%). The limitation of TIPS surgery was mainly due to cost (72.3%) and insufficient understanding of doctors in related departments (77.4%). Most teams accepted the domestic instruments used in TIPS (92.7%).Conclusions:This survey shows that TIPS treatment is an essential part of treating portal hypertension in China. The total number of TIPS cases is far from that of patients with portal hypertension. In the future, it is still necessary to popularize TIPS technology and further standardize surgical indications, routine operations, and instrument application.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of a 3D reconstruction assisted preoperative optimal design of anterolateral abdomen cross-region free perforator flaps for repair of soft tissue defects of limbs.Methods:Twenty patients who were treated for soft tissue defects of hand, forearm, foot and ankle in the Department of Hand Surgery, the Sixth Hospital of Ningbo from October 2017 to January 2020 were included in this study. Among the patients,17 had soft tissue defects in hand and forearm and 3 with composite tissue defects including ankle and soft tissue defect of foot. The sizes of soft tissue defects in limbs ranged from 6 cm × 8 cm - 36 cm × 18 cm. Twenty free cross-area perforator flaps were optimal designed with CTA and 3D assisted reconstruction before surgery. Following combinations of flaps were designed: (1) Free perforator flap with inferior abdominal artery and superior abdominal artery; (2) Free perforator flap with superficial iliac circumflex artery and deep iliac circumflex artery; (3) Free perforator flap with superficial iliac circumflex artery and inferior abdominal wall perforator artery; (4) Free perforator flap with perforators of superficial iliac circumflex artery plus superficial abdominal artery; (5) Free perforator flap with perforating artery of lower abdominal wall and superficial artery of abdominal wall. The overall nutritional area of a combined flap were 272.3 cm 2± 12.5 cm 2, 107.4 cm 2± 9.3 cm 2, 193.6 cm 2± 24.2 cm 2, 155.2 cm 2± 20.1 cm 2 and 203.7 cm 2± 16.3 cm 2, respectively. All the donor sites were sutured directly in one stage. The appearance, texture, blood supply, colour, joint movement of affected limbs, recovery and function of donor sites were observed through postoperative follow-up visits at the outpatient clinic. Results:Among the 20 anterolateral transventral perforator flaps, 18 flaps survived successfully; One had partial necrosis after surgery, and healed after dressing change. Subcutaneous haematoma occurred in 1 flap, and survived after drainage. In this study, there was no postoperative infection of flap. A total of 19 flaps healed in one stage, except 1 that had a delayed healing and the flap wound was closed after dressing change for 1 week. According to Disability of Arm, Shouder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire evaluation, which is widely used in the world to evaluate the therapeutic effect after limb injury, combined with the 6-12 months of follow-up, the functional recovery of 17 patients with upper limbs iniury was 7 in excellent, 9 in good and 1 in poor. The overall excellent and good rate achieved 94.1%. All the 3 patients with foot injury recovered well, and the walking and jumping were not significantly affected. The results were all excellent according to the Maryland Foot Function Scoring. Sensation of flaps was evaluated according to the British Sensory Function Evaluation, it showed: 3 in S 2, 15 in S 3 and 2 in S 3+. All 20 flaps had good blood supply, in soft texture, good colour, feeling, thickness and movement. The donor sites all healed well. Conclusion:Combined with an optimal preoperative design, the perforator flap of anterior lateral wall cross-region can obtain a satisfactory clinical efficacy in repair of large area soft tissue defects. It is a feasible treatment method.

【Objective】 To explore the status and characteristics of voluntary blood donors in rural areas of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture (referred as Dali), and to provide basis for scientific and effective voluntary blood donation in rural population in regions inhabited by ethnic groups. 【Methods】 The data of rural blood donors who donated blood in Dali from 2010 to 2019 were collected, including demographic data as nationality, gender, age, educational background, as well as the blood donation frequency and blood infection screening (index) results. The above data of urban blood donors who donated blood in Dali during the same period were selected to investigate the increasing trend of blood donation rate. SPSS26.0 was used for statistical analysis of the collected data of rural and urban blood donation population. 【Results】 From 2010 to 2019,the number of blood donors in Dali increased from 13 949 to 19 479,with an increasing rate of 39.64%. The number of rural blood donors increased from 2 623 to 8 727,among which the number of ethnic minority groups increased from 1 779 to 5 059.The ratio of male to female blood donors was 70.30% (1 844/2 623) vs 29.70% (779/2 623) in 2010,56.37% (4 919/8 727) vs 43.63%(3 808/8 727) in 2019. Those with educational level of junior middle school or below were the most, accounted for 43.97%(38 443/85 836),with ethnic donors of 24.47%(23 583/85 836). The proportion of donors aged between 36 and 45 was the highest[40.73% (30 477/74 827) ], with ethnic donors of [28.56% (21 374/74 827), and the proportion of repeated blood donors was 54.87%(35 279/64 299),with ethnic donors of 49.89%(18 080/36 240) [the proportion of repeated blood donors in urban donors in the same period was 48.13% (55 677/115 675) ] (P<0.01). The unqualified rate of ALT was the highest [1.21%(1 272/105 489) ] [The unqualified rate in local donors was 1.99%(3 837/192 552) ] (P<0.01), and that of the ethnic donors was 1.51%(358/56 718). There was no significant difference in the unqualified rates of HB-sAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and anti-TP among urban and rural blood donors (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 It is of great significance to explore the characteristics of blood donors in rural areas (especially regions inhabited by ethnic groups) and the reasons for disqualification, in order to scientifically carry out the recruitment of voluntary blood donors and further promote blood donation for rural residents

Objective:To study the safety and feasibility of early enteral feeding during therapeutic hypothermia guided by intestinal ultrasound in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Methods:From January 2019 to December 2021, neonates with HIE who received therapeutic hypothermia in the neonatology department of our hospital were retrospectively selected. They were assigned into the ultrasound-guided observation group (admitted from May 2020 to December 2021) and the control group (admitted from January 2019 to April 2020). In the ultrasound-guided observation group, intestinal ultrasound was performed during therapeutic hypothermia. Based on clinical manifestations and ultrasound results, a small amount of enteral feeding [20 ml/(kg·d)] was initiated and gradually increased to total enteral feeding after rewarming. In the control group, 5 ml (once every 3 h) of glucose and sodium chloride solution was given during 72 h of therapeutic hypothermia. After rewarming, enteral feeding was started and gradually increased to total enteral feeding without intestinal ultrasound. The time to start enteral feeding, the time to achieve total enteral feeding, the incidences of feeding intolerance, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and late-onset sepsis were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 17 cases were in the ultrasound-guided observation group and 18 cases in the control group. The median time to start enteral feeding and to achieve total enteral feeding in the ultrasound-guided observation group were earlier than the control group [36.0 (33.5, 39.0) h vs. 77.0 (74.0, 79.3) h, 6.0 (5.5, 6.5) d vs. 8.0 (7.0, 9.0) d, P<0.001]. No significant difference existed in the incidence of feeding intolerance between the two groups. Neither groups had NEC or late-onset sepsis. Conclusions:Early enteral feeding during therapeutic hypothermia in neonates with HIE is safe and feasible. Intestinal ultrasound helps implementing feeding plan and achieving early total enteral feeding.
