Objective To establish an acute rejection model of cervical heart transplantation in mice and evaluate the survival and dynamic rejection process post-transplantation. Methods Mice were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=10), syngeneic transplantation group (n=21), and allogeneic transplantation group (n=65). Sham operation, syngeneic cervical heart transplantation, and allogeneic cervical heart transplantation were performed respectively. The survival of recipient mice and grafts, histopathological changes of graft tissues, subpopulations of splenic lymphocytes, and expression of inflammatory factors in serum and grafts were observed. Results The survival rate and graft survival rate of the sham operation group and syngeneic transplantation group were 100% at 7 days after surgery. In the allogeneic transplantation group, 5 cases failed and died on the first day after surgery. The survival rate at 7 days after surgery was 86%, and all surviving mice had grafts that stopped beating at 7 days after surgery. The allogeneic transplantation group showed significant rejection at 7 days after surgery, accompanied by tissue damage and CD8⁺ T cell infiltration. The proportion of CD8⁺ T cells in the spleen continued to rise post-operation, while the proportion of CD4⁺ T cells showed a downward trend. The expression of interferon-γ in serum and grafts peaked at 5 days after surgery, while the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α showed no statistical significance. Conclusions Acute rejection following heart transplantation in mice intensifies between 5 to 7 days after surgery, which may be a critical time window for immunological intervention.

Objective:To investigate the safety of minimally invasive liver resection for resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated with portal hypertension.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 807 patients with resectable HCC who underwent minimally invasive liver resection in 8 medical centers, including Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Affiliated with the Zhejiang University School of Medicine et al, from June 2011 to November 2022 were collected. There were 670 males and 137 females, aged 58(50,66)years. Of the 807 patients, 173 cases with portal hypertension were divided into the portal hypertension group, and 634 cases without portal hypertension were divided into the non-portal hypertension group. Observation indicators: (1) propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) intraoperative and post-operative situations; (3) subgroup analysis. Propensity score matching was done by the 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method, with the caliper setting as 0.001. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was constructed using the non-parameter rank sun test. Results:(1) Propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 807 patients, 268 cases were successfully matched, including 134 cases in the portal hypertension group and 134 cases in the non-portal hypertension group. The elimination of the tumor diameter and robot-assisted surgery confounding bias ensured comparability between the two groups after propensity score matching. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations. The occlusion time of porta hepatis, cases with intraoperative blood transfusion, cases with postoperative complication, cases with complication >Ⅱ grade of Clavien-Dindo classification, cases of Clavien-Dindo classification as Ⅰ grade, Ⅱ grade, Ⅲ grade, Ⅳ grade, cases with liver related complication were 27.0(15.0,43.0)minutes, 33, 55, 15, 13, 29, 14, 1, 37 in the portal hypertension group, versus 35.0(22.0,60.0)minutes, 17, 25, 5, 14, 9, 4, 1, 13 in the non-portal hypertension group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-2.15, χ2=6.30, 16.39, 4.38, 20.72, 14.16, P<0.05). (3) Subgroup analysis. Results of subgroups analysis showed that in cases with major live resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 243.5(174.6,296.3)minutes, 200.0(150.0,600.0)mL, 7.5(6.0,13.0)days in the portal hypertension group, versus 270.0(180.0,314.5)minutes, 200.0 (75.0,450.0)mL, 7.0(5.5,10.0)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-0.54, -1.73, -0.92, P>0.05). In cases with non-major live resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 170.0(120.0,227.5)minutes, 100.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 8.0(5.0,10.0)days in the portal hypertension group, versus 170.0(120.0,227.5)minutes, 100.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 7.0(5.5,9.0)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-1.39, -0.10, 1.05, P>0.05). In cases with anatomical liver resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 210.0(150.0,285.0)minutes, 150.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 8.0(6.0,9.3)days in the portal hypertension group, versus 225.5(146.3,306.8)minutes, 100.0(50.0,250.0)mL, 7.0(6.0,9.0)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indica-tors between the two groups ( Z=-0.75, -0.26, -0.91, P>0.05). In cases with non-anatomical liver resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 173.5(120.0,231.5)minutes, 175.0(50.0,300.0)mL, 7.0(5.0,11.0)days in the portal hyper-tension group, versus 186.0(123.0,262.5)minutes, 100.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 7.0(5.0,9.5)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-0.97, -1.12, -0.98, P>0.05). Conclusion:Minimally invasive liver resection or even major liver resection is safe and feasible for screened HCC patients complicated with portal hyper-tension, but attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of postoperative complications.

Objective:To investigate the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma of renal pelvis.Methods:The clinic data of 28 cases with squamous cell carcinoma of renal pelvis confirmed by pathologic examination treated during June 2007 and September 2019 was retrospectively analyzed. There were 19 male and 9 female patients, with a median age of 56 years. Hematuria was present in 18 cases, flank pain was present in 11 cases, and abdominal mass was present in 1 case. All 28 cases accepted CT or MRI examination. Renal pelvis or renal tumors were found in 26 cases, and severe hydronephrosis was observed in 2 cases. 2 cases underwent PET/CT, and bone metastasis was found in 1 case. Preoperative diagnoses were renal pelvic tumor in 13 cases, renal tumor in 13 cases and renal abscess in 2 cases. Coexisting renal calculi or renal pelvic calculus was detected in 19 cases. All 28 cases underwent surgical excision, including radical nephroureterectomy in 13 cases, radical nephrectomy in 12 cases, palliative resection in 1 case, and pyonephrenectomy in 2 cases. Enlarged lymph nodes were found in 9 cases during the surgery, and local lymph node dissection was performed in these cases.Results:The mean diameter of the tumors was 8.5 cm. Histopathological examination revealed that 9 cases were well differentiated, 11 cases were moderately differentiated, and 8 case was poorly differentiated. 1 case had pT 2 stage, 15 cases had pT 3 stage and 12 cases had pT 4 stage. 9 cases had lymph node metastasis. 5 cases had renal vein thrombosis. Immunohistochemistry staining exhibited consistent characteristics including CK5(+ ), 34βE12(+ ), p63(+ ), CK20(-) and GATA3(-). Postoperatively, 12 cases received adjuvant therapy including chemotherapy, radiotherapy and/or immunotherapy. Within a median follow-up of 6.0 months (ranging 1-80 months), median overall survival was 10.0 months. 15 cases died of tumor progression. Conclusion:Squamous cell carcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive neoplasm, typically associated with long-lasting renal calculi, hydronephrosis and chronic inflammation. The diagnosis should be established on pathologic examination.CK5, 34βE12 and p63 positivity contribute to the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. Surgery is the foremost choice of treatment, but the risk of recurrence and metastasis is high. The prognosis is extremely poor as the majority of patients are diagnosed with advanced stages.

Objective:To study the pathological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of primary adenocarcinoma of renal pelvis and ureter.Methods:The clinical pathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis of 5 patients with adenocarcinoma of upper urinary tract treated between January 2007 and May 2019 was retrospectively reviewed. There were 4 male and 1 female patients, with a median age of 60 years. The major symptoms were hematuria in 5 cases and low back pain in 4 cases. All cases underwent B-ultrasound and CT examination, and 4 cases accepted cystoscopy. Preoperative diagnoses were ureter tumor in 2 cases, renal pelvis tumor in 1 case, renal tumor in 1 case and renal calculus in 1 case.Results:5 cases were treated with surgery. Radical nephroureterectomy was performed in 3 cases, and nephrectomy in one case. 1 case underwent first-stage percutaneous nephrolithotomy and second-stage radical nephroureterectomy due to the discovery of tumor. 1 case was treated with radiotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor postoperatively. The mean diameter of the tumors was 4.4 cm. There were 3 renal pelvis adenocarcinomas and 2 ureter adenocarcinomas confirmed by pathologic examination, including 3 cases of pT 3 stage and 1 case of pT 4 stage. Lymph node metastasis was found in 2 cases. Immunohistochemistry revealed that CDX2(+ ), p63(-), GATA3(-), β-catenin(-)were the common features of five cases. The median survival was 12 months with a median follow-up of 6 months. 2 cases died of tumor progression within 1 year. Conclusions:Adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare malignancy, typically associated with long-standing calculi and chronic inflammation. Given the fact that clinical and imaging findings are nonspecific, the diagnosis is based on pathologic examination, supported by glandular structure of histology. Immunohistochemical staining exhibited CDX2 and CK20 positivity and β-catenin negativity, moreover, GATA3, p63 and CK7 was usually negative or partially positive. Surgery is the foremost choice of treatment. The prognosis is correlated with subtypes, whereas the overall prognosis is poor due to high rates of recurrence and metastasis.

Objective: To examine the relative importance of four emotion regulation strategies (i.e. cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, rumination and mindfulness) in explaining job burnout and depression of nurses. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with questionnaires for 1 037 nurses from two general hospitals. Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey (MBI-HSS), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS) and Short Inventory of Mindfulness Capability (SIM-C) were assessed. Results: Dominance analysis revealed that in terms of job burnout, rumination, cognitive reappraisal and mindfulness could explain 41.38% (0.132/0.319), 30.09% (0.096/0.319) and 28.53% (0.091/0.319). In terms of depression, rumination and mindfulness could explain 68.6% (0.362/0.528)and 24.43% (0.129/0.528). Conclusions Rumination and mindfulness were important predictors of job burnout and depression of nurses. This study indicates that reducing ruminative responses and enhancement of mindfulness are the important approach to reduce nurses′ job burnout and depression.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in the patients with burns during rehabilitation, and the relationships among PTSD symptom, PTG, neuroticism and resilience.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out among 110 patients with burns during rehabilitation.The PTSD Check-list-Civilian Version (PCL-C), Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Five Factors Inventory-Neuroticism Subscale (FFI-N) and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were used.Result:A significant effect of different groups of marital status (F=5.66, P=0.019), annual household income (F=7.97, P=0.006), and neuroticism (F=34.24, P＜0.001, Partial η2=0.259) on PCL-C scores.A significant effect of different groups of gender (F=6.44, P=0.013) and resilience (F=14.87, P＜0.001, Partial η2=0.132) were significant for PTG scores.There existed a significant interaction between neuroticism and resilience on PTG (F=4.47, P=0.037, Partial η2=0.044).Conclusion:Being married, low annual household income, and high levels of neuroticism were associated with high PTSD symptom levels.Being female and high levels of resilience were associated with high PTG levels.Resilience moderated the effect of neuroticism on PTSD symptoms.

Objective To explorepredictive factors of psychological stress reaction of medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure and to provides scientific basis for the hospital administrators toprovide psychological support and interventionfor medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure. Methods Seventy-eight medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure were recruited as participants. The Socio-demographic Questionnaire, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-5, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Ruminative Responses Scale and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire were used to evaluate the participants' psychological stress reactionat different stages and the styles of their emotion regulation. Correlation analysis and Hierarchical Regression analysis were used to analyze the predictive factors of psychological stress reaction of medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure. Results Ruminative thinking and emotion regulation can predict the psychological stress reaction of medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure at different stages. Conclusions According to the psychological stress reaction and ruminative thinking of medical staff members with blood- occupational exposure, psychological intervention should be implemented within one month to decrease the psychological trauma of medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure.

Objective: To explore the effect of Dahuang-Zhidan decoction on postoperative peripheral inflammatory factors and prognosis in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Methods: A total of 103 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage in our hospital from May 2015 to January 2017 were divided into two groups according to the randomly number tables method. The control group (n=51) were treated by conventional treatment of western medicine, and the observation group (n=52) were treated with Dahuang-Zhidan decoction based on the treatment of the control group.The inflammatory factors, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in hematoma lesions after treatment for 1st, 7th day between two groups were measured. The comparisons of awake rate after treatment for the 7th, 14th, 30th day between two groups was conducted. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores after treatment for 30th, 90th day between two groups was launched. The Glasgow Prognosis Score (GOS) between two groups was compared at the 90th day. Results: After treatment for 7 d,the postoperative peripheral inflammatory factors IL-6 (90.55 ± 18.89 pg/ml vs. 122.71 ± 19.62 pg/ml, t=-6.892), TNF-α (172.26 ± 29.85 pg/ml vs. 229.02 ± 30.34 pg/ml, t=-10.332), hs-CRP (137.55 ± 24.60 pg/ml vs. 162.14 ± 23.98 pg/ml, t=-8.615), IL-1β (95.57 ± 18.92 pg/ml vs. 110.65 ± 17.38 pg/ml, t=-3.594) in the observation group was significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment for 7, 14, 30 d, the awake rate was 44.23% (23/52), 69.23% (36/52), 90.38% (47/52) in the observation group, which was significantly higher than those in the control group (χ²=3.977, 4.355, 4.499, P<0.05). After treatment for 30, 90 d, the NIHSS scores (12.24 ± 6.38 vs. 16.27 ± 7.69, t=-2.906), (5.39 ± 6.24 vs. 9.94 ± 8.11 , t=-3.198) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment for 90 d, the distribution of GOS scores in the observation group was significantly different from the control group (Z=-2.400, P=0.016). Conclusions The Dahuang-Zhidan decoction in the treatment of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage significantly inhibit postoperative the inflammatory response around hematoma lesions, and improve the neurological function, the awake rate and the qualify of life.
