Objective:To collect and analyze the quality control data of gastric cancer surgery in Jiangsu Province from 2020 to 2022,and study the role of publishing surgical quality control data in promoting the improvement of gastric cancer surgery of China. Methods:An online questionnaire was created and distributed to the members of Jiangsu Gastric Cancer Union(JSGCU).The questionnaire collected information including the basic situation of hospital,the diagnosis and treatment of early gastric cancer,advanced gastric cancer and metastatic gastric cancer,the digestive tract reconstruction,the surgical safety,the economic indicators,and so on. Results:The quality control data of gastric cancer surgery in Jiangsu Province from 2020 to 2022 were consistently collected and published.The data analysis results show that there was a gradual increase in the percent of patients with stage Ⅰ gastric cancer,reflecting the success efforts of early screening and diagnosis.Laparoscopic surgery showed a steady increase and became the mainstream approach for curative surgery of gastric cancer in Jiangsu Province.The percent of hospital with lymph node dissection≥30 was also increased.Different locations of gastric cancer exhibited specific patterns in the choice of anastomosis methods after curative surgery.The rate of grade 3 or higher complications in laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery was slightly lower than that in open surgery.For patients experiencing complications,their postoperative hospitalization duration and expenditure were significantly higher.Finally,there was a gradual increase in the proportion of hospital choosing to close the mesentery during gastric cancer surgery. Conclusion:The publication of the quality control data of gastric cancer surgery in Jiangsu Province has driven the improvement of gastric cancer surgery standards of China.

Objective:To explore the correlations between serum TNF-α, IL-6, hs-CRP levels and body composition in obese children and adolescents.Methods:A total of 105 obese children and adolescents attending the Department of Clinical Nutrition, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from April 2020 to January 2022 were investigated for serum inflammatory factors(TNF-α, IL-6 and hs-CRP)and body composition(waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, BMI, body fat mass, percent body fat, fat free mass, percent of fat free mass, skeletal muscle mass, percent of skeletal muscle mass and obesity degree). And based on serum inflammatory factors, they were divided into elevated TNF-α group( n=49)and normal TNF-α group( n=56), elevated IL-6 group( n=13)and normal IL-6 group( n=92)and elevated hs-CRP group( n=44)and normal hs-CRP group( n=61), respectively. Results:TNF-α was positively correlated with percent body fat( r=0.224, P=0.022), while negatively correlated with percent of fat free mass( r=-0.226, P=0.021). IL-6 was positively correlated with waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, BMI, body fat mass, percent body fat, and obesity degree( r=0.197, 0.370, 0.303, 0.257, 0.325, 0.348, all P<0.05), while negatively correlated with percent of fat free mass and percent of skeletal muscle mass( r=-0.316, -0.223, all P<0.05). And hs-CRP was positively correlated with BMI, body fat mass, and obesity degree( r=0.261, 0.220, 0.244, all P<0.05), while negatively correlated with percent of fat free mass( r=-0.194, P=0.047). Conclusion:Serum TNF-α, IL-6 and hs-CRP may be correlated with body composition in obese children and adolescents.

This article reports a case of Fournier gangrene after transrectal biopsy of the prostate. A 69-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital for dysuria. The preoperative diagnosis was bladder stones and suspicious prostate cancer. During the same time, the patient underwent transurethral holmium laser lithotripsy and transrectal prostate biopsy. Fournier gangrene occurred on the second day after the operation. After active treatment such as upgraded antibiotics and debridement of the scrotum and perineum, the condition was controlled. The perineal wound healed 2 months later without secondary suture. Perioperative transurethral examination should be avoided during transrectal prostate biopsy. To avoid delayed diagnosis and treatment, it is necessary to improve the understanding of postoperative complications of Fournier's gangrene.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of decitabine combined with chemotherapy in treatment of relapsed/refractory T lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (T-LBL/ALL) with TP53 mutation.Methods:The clinical data of a T-LBL/ALL patient with TP53 mutation who had recurrence after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) treated with decitabine combined with chemotherapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University in June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:The patient, a 42-year-old male, diagnosed as T-LBL/ALL with TP53 mutation by comprehensive examination underwent sibling-matched donor allo-HSCT after a second complete remission. The patient relapsed 8 months later and was treated with decitabine combined with CLAG regimen to achieve complete remission again. And then, he had leukemia-free survival until now through maintenance treatment with decitabine.Conclusion:Decitabine combined with chemotherapy may be a safe and effective treatment option for relapsed T-LBL/ALL patients with TP53 mutation after allo-HSCT.

The intracellular retention of nanotherapeutics is essential for their therapeutic activity. The immobilization of nanotherapeutics inside target cell types can regulate various cell behaviors. However, strategies for the intracellular immobilization of nanoparticles are limited. Herein, a cisplatin prodrug was synthesized and utilized as a glutathione (GSH)-activated linker to induce aggregation of the cisplatin prodrug/IR820/docetaxel nanoassembly. The nanoassembly has been reprogrammed with peptide-containing moieties for tumor-targeting and PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. The aggregation of the nanoassemblies is dependent on GSH concentration.

Objective: To investigate the levels of vitamin D and the correlation between DPN and vitamin D in elderly patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN). Methods: A total of 849 patients aged 60 years and over admitted into endocrinology department from June 2016 to September 2017 were enrolled in this retrospective case-control study.According to DPN diagnostic criteria, patients were divided into the non-DPN group(n=542)and the DPN group(n=307). The 25(OH)-vitamin D[25(OH)D]level and blood biochemical parameters were determined and compared between the two groups.The risk factors for DPN were analyzed using logistic regression analysis and plotting receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves. Results: The mean of serum 25(OH)D level in the 849 patients was 43.9±19.4 nmol/L.Serum 25(OH)D level was lower in the DPN patients than in the non-DPN patients[(40.9±20.4)nmol/L vs.(45.7±18.6)nmol/L, P<0.05]. The incidence of 25(OH)D deficiency was higher in the DPN group than in the non-DPN group(72.3% or 222/307 vs. 64.6% or 350/542, P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that 25(OH)D was a protective factor for DPN(OR=0.980, 95% CI: 0.964~0.995, P<0.05)and the disease duration was a risk factor for DPN(OR=1.048, 95% CI: 1.027~1.070, P<0.001). ROC analysis indicated that the diagnostic cut-off value of serum 25(OH)D for predicting DPN was 37.5nmol/L, with a Youden index of 0.17, sensitivity of 0.65 and specificity of 0.52. Conclusions The 25(OH)D level is much lower in diabetic patients, especially in DPN patients.Higher 25(OH)VD level might be a protective factor for DPN, and vitamin D might be one of potential biomarkers for DPN in diabetic patients.

Objective: To establish primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) animal model induced by anti-platelet membrane glycoprotein GPⅠbα antibodies AN51 and R300. Methods: Twenty guinea pigs (6-8 week) were divided into 4 groups. Five guinea pigs in each group were intravenously injected with different doses of AN51 (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 μg/g) and 0.2 μg/g IgG as control. The whole blood was collected from inner angular venous plexus. Platelets number was determined by an automated cell counter and Swiss-Jim method. Then, the similar protocol was used to establish ITP nude mice model by intraperitoneal injection of different concentrations of anti-platelet GPⅠbα antibody R300, respectively. Results: ①Five minutes after intravenous injection of AN51 at 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 μg/g, the platelet counts of guinea pigs reduced about 0-5%, 50%-60% and 70%-80% compared to the control group, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01) . ②Six hours after intraperitoneal injection of R300 at 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 μg/g, the platelet counts of nude mice decreased about 20%-30%, 60%-70% and 80%-90% compared to the control group, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01) . The nude mice, injected 0.2 μg/g R300 once a day for 2 weeks, showed typical ITP clinical manifestations including large number of petechiaes or ecchymoses on limbs, head and abdomen. Conclusion AN51 at 0.2 μg/g and R300 at 0.2 μg/g could establish stable ITP model in guinea pigs and nude mice respectively.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) in the treatment of medullary sponge kidney with calculi. Methods: A total of 77 patients (91 renal units) of medullary sponge kidney with calculi (MSK group) and 77 patients (77 renal units) with common kidney stone (control group) received PNL at Department of Urology in Peking University People′s Hospital from September 2006 to February 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The MSK group included 33 males and 44 females with a mean age of (42.1±13.2) years, the mean stone burden was (3.9±1.8) cm. The control group included 36 males and 41 females with a mean age of (45.3±13.0) years, the mean stone burden was (3.6±1.5) cm. The numbers of tracts, the time of operation, the drop of hemoglobin, the change of creatine, the time of hospitalization, the stone free rate and major complications were compared between the two groups. The measurement data and numeration data were compared with t test and χ² test. Results: There were no significant differences in sex, age, preoperative urinary tract infection, stone type, and stone burden between the two groups (all P>0.05). The proportion of bilateral renal calculus in MSK group was higher (18.2% vs. 0, χ²=15.400, P=0.000). There were 159 percutaneous channels were established in MSK group while 90 percutaneous channels were established in control group. Compared with the control group, the operation time ((88.1±37.5) minutes vs. (68.5±30.1) minutes, t=3.543, P=0.000) and hospitalization time ((15.1±8.3) days vs. (10.1±3.6) days, t=4.816, P=0.000) were longer, the creatinine level increased ((101.2±62.6) μmol/L vs. (71.3±23.6) μmol/L, t=3.777, P=0.000), the rate of stone free decreased (27.5% vs. 83.1%, χ²=51.840, P=0.000) and the rate of complications increased (29.9% vs. 11.7%, χ²=8.114, P=0.004) in MSK group. There was no statistically difference in hemoglobin drop ((12.5±13.2) g/L vs. (13.0±10.9) g/L, t=-0.260, P=0.795). Conclusions Using PNL for patients of MSK with calculi has a lower stone free rate and a higher complications. It is an effective method for patients of MSK with large and complex calculi.

Objective To analyze clinical characteristics of premenopausal and postmenopausal female patients with kidney stones.Methods The clinical data of 1 194 female adults with kidney stones from December 2004 to December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.The incidence of kidney stones in different age groups was analyzed firstly.The post-hysterectomy patients or those taking estrogen for breast cancer were excluded, and then 1 166 patients were enrolled.The patients were divided into premenopausal group (464 cases, 39.8％) and postmenopausal group (702 cases, 60.2％), and clinic features of different groups were evaluated.Results The peak age of female patients with kidney stones is between 50 and 59 years old.There were 105 (22.6％) patients in premenopausal group and 204 (29.1％) patients in postmenopausal group complicated with urinary infection.Fifty-eight (12.5％) patients had genitonrinary malformations such as horseshoe kidney, medullary sponge kidney, ectopic kidney, duplex kidney or pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) stricture in premenopausal group, as well as 36 (5.1％) in postmenopausal group.Twenty patients (4.3％) had renal insufficiency in premenopausal group, and 66 (9.4％) in postmenopausal group.These differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The patients complicated with hydronephrosis (251 vs.346) and ureteral calculi (63 vs.110) of two groups were not significant different (P ＞ 0.05).Multiple factors Logistic analysis indicated that age and urinary infection were statistically significant factors in the occurrence of renal insufficiency (OR =1.037,1.772, P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The occurrence of genitourinary malformations was higher among premenopausal female patients with kidney stones, while urinary infection and renal insufficiency were more common for postmenopausal patients.Age and urinary infection were the independent factors for the occurrence of renal insufficiency.
