ObjectiveTo explore the regulatory effects and mechanisms of Astragali Radix polysaccharide （APS） on inhibitor of differentiation1 （ID1） and protein kinase B （Akt） in gastric cancer. MethodsImmunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of ID1 and Akt in 61 gastric cancer tissue samples and 20 adjacent normal gastric tissue samples. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the localization of ID1 and Akt. The effects of APS at the concentrations of 0.625， 1.25， 2.5， 5， 10， 20 mg·L^-1 on the proliferation of gastric cancer MGC-803 cells were examined by the cell counting kit-8（CCK-8） method and the colony formation assay. The target information of APS was retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology and Analysis Platform and Swiss Target Prediction. Keywords such as gastric cancer， gastric tumor， and stomach cancer were searched against GeneCards， UniProt， DisGeNET， and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man （OMIM） for the screening of gastric cancer-related targets. The online tool jvenn was used to create the Venn diagram to identify the common targets， and STRING and Cytoscape were used to construct the protein-protein interaction network. Gene Ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analyses were conducted via R 4.2.2 to predict the potential roles of APS in the development of gastric cancer. The cell scratch assay was employed to assess the effect of APS on the migration of MGC-803 cells. The protein and mRNA levels of ID1 and Akt in the cells treated with APS were determined by Western blot and Real-time PCR， respectively. ResultsCompared with the adjacent normal gastric tissue， the gastric adenocarcinoma tissue showed increased positive expression of ID1 （χ² =81.00， P<0.01）. Immunofluorescence detection showed that ID1 and Akt were mainly located in the cytoplasm of gastric adenocarcinoma cells. Bioinformatics analysis identified 14 common genes shared between APS and gastric cancer. The average degree of protein-protein interaction network nodes was 14.29. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment results showed that ID1 and Akt were significantly enriched in the Rap1 and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase （PI3K） /Akt signaling pathways. Cell experiments demonstrated that 5-fluorouracil （0.1 mg·L^-1） and APS （10， 20 mg·L^-1） groups showed decreased cell proliferation， migration， and colony formation. Compared with the control group， 10， 20 mg·L^-1 APS inhibited the proliferation of MGC-803 cells （P<0.01）， with 10 mg·L^-1 APS demonstrating stronger inhibitory effect. In addition， APS at 10， 20 mg·L^-1 inhibited the migration （P<0.01） and colony formation （P<0.05， P<0.01） of MGC-803 cells. Compared with the control group， APS at 10， 20 mg·L^-1 down-regulated the protein levels of ID1 （P<0.01） and Akt （P<0.05） and the mRNA levels of ID1 （P<0.05， P<0.01） and Akt （P<0.05， P<0.01） in MGC-803 cells. ConclusionID1 and Akt are highly expressed in the gastric adenocarcinoma tissue， which may be related to the development of gastric cancer. APS can down-regulate the protein and mRNA levels of ID1 and Akt to exert anti-tumor effects， which is expected to provide new therapeutic targets for gastric cancer treatment.

Objective:To investigate the application value of robot-assisted parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 54 patients who underwent robot-assisted parenchyma-sparing pancrea-tectomy in the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2017 to February 2023 were collected. There were 22 males and 32 females, aged (44±16)years. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative conditions; (2) postoperative conditions; (3) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the rank sum test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was performed using the Fisher exact probability. Results:(1) Intraoperative conditions. All 54 patients underwent robot-assisted parenchyma-sparing pancrea-tectomy successfully, without conversion to laparotomy. Of 54 patients, 32 cases underwent pancreatic tumor enucleation and 22 cases underwent central pancreatectomy. Of the 32 patients who underwent pancreatic tumor enucleation, 29 cases underwent conventional pancreatic tumor enucleation, and 3 cases underwent intraoperative repairing of main pancreatic duct injury. Of the 22 patients who underwent central pancreatectomy, 15 cases underwent end-to-end anastomosis, and 7 cases underwent Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy. There was no significant difference in operation time or volume of intraoperative blood loss between 29 patients undergoing conventional pancreatic tumor enucleation and 3 patients undergoing intraoperative repairing of main pancreatic duct injury ( t=-1.66, Z=-0.82, P>0.05). There were significant differences in operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss between 15 patients undergoing end-to-end pancreatic anastomosis and 7 patients undergoing Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy ( t=-3.03, Z=-2.22, P<0.05). (2) Postoperative conditions. There were 38 of the 54 patients with postoperative complications, including 37 cases of pancreatic fistula and 1 case of delayed gastric emptying. There was no significant difference in post-operative pancreatic fistula between 29 patients undergoing conventional pancreatic tumor enuclea-tion and 3 patients undergoing intraoperative repairing of main pancreatic duct injury ( P>0.05). There was a significant difference in postoperative pancreatic fistula between 15 patients under-going end-to-end pancreatic anastomosis and 7 patients undergoing Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy ( P<0.05). (3) Follow-up. All 54 patients were followed up for 23(range, 3-76)months, and all of them survived without tumor recurrence or metastasis. None of the 32 patients undergoing enuclea-tion of pancreatic tumor experienced pancreatic endocrine or exocrine insufficiency. Of the 15 patients who underwent end-to-end pancreatic anastomosis, there were 2 cases of dilatation of the main pancreatic duct and atrophy of the distal pancreas, 1 case of pancreatic endocrine insufficiency and 1 case of exocrine insufficiency. Of the 7 patients who underwent Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy, there was 1 case of pancreatic endocrine insufficiency. Conclusion:Robot-assisted parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy can provide intraoperative protection, repair and anastomosis of the main pancreatic duct.

Objective To investigate the correlation between TCM syndrome types and solar term of onset in patients with gastric cancer.Methods A total of 359 patients with gastric cancer admitted to the Cancer Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to August 2023 were included in this study,and the frequency distribution method was used to analyze their information such as sex,age,solar term of onset,differentiation,metastasis and TCM syndrome type.The solar term of onset corresponding to the onset date was calculated,and then the association between solar term of onset and TCM syndrome type in gastric cancer was analyzed.The circular distribution method was used to explore the peak of solar term of onset and TCM syndrome type.Results Among the 359 patients with gastric cancer included in this study,male patients were more than female patients(1.69∶1).The age of onset was mainly between 60 and 70 years old(117 cases,32.6%),and male patients(85 cases,72.6%)were more than female patients(32 cases,27.3%)in this age group.The most common TCM syndromes were qi and blood deficiency syndrome(160 cases,44.6%)and phlegm damp condensation syndrome(94 cases,26.2%).The onset of the disease mainly occurred in winter(132 cases,36.8%),and the peaks were light snow(31 cases,23.5%),major cold(25 cases,18.9%),heavy snow(23 cases,17.4%)and the start of winter(22 cases,16.7%).Qi and blood deficiency syndrome and phlegm damp condensation syndrome in patients with gastric cancer were correlated with solar terms and seasons(P<0.05).The 285 patients with gastric cancer were mainly poorly differentiated gastric cancer(175 cases,61.4%),mainly concentrated in winter(66 cases,37.7%).The main route of gastric cancer metastasis is lymph node metastasis,followed by liver and abdominal cavity metastasis.Conclusion Qi and blood deficiency syndrome and phlegm dampness condensation syndrome are common in patients with gastric cancer.The onset time of gastric cancer is mostly in winter,and the syndrome type is significantly correlated with the onset solar term and differentiation degree.

Objective To investigate the shedding of CAV2-ΔE3-CGS after immunization and the background of canine adenovirus (CAV) infection, and to establish a dual fluorescent quantitative PCR detection method for rabies virus (RV) and canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV2). Methods A dual fluorescent quantitative PCR detection method was established by designing specific primers and probes for E1 gene of CAV and G gene of RV for the detection of CAV2-ΔE3-CGS. Oral swabs, anal swabs and environmental samples of stray dogs from experimental animal farm and dog detention center were tested. Results The standard curves generated by this method were Y=-3.351 × logX + 44.895, R² = .999 and Y=-3.413 × logX + 45.192, R²=0.996, respectively. The linear relationships were good, and the minimum detection limits were both 102 copies/μL. CAV2-ΔE3-CGS was not detected in experimental animal farm. CAV was detected in dog detention center, and the positive rates were 5.88% (5/85) in oral swabs, 8.24% (7/85) in anal swabs, and 4% (1/25) in environmental samples. Conclusion The dual fluorescent quantitative PCR method can be used for the detection of CAV2-ΔE3-CGS after immunization and the investigation of CAV infection. The present study has shown that no CAV2-ΔE3-CGS has been detected after immunization and CAV infection rate of stay dogs is low in Shanghai. CAV2-ΔE3-CGS oral immunization meets requirement and is applicable.

There are still differences in the surgical treatment of children with pulmonary atresia(PA-VSD) with ventricular septal defect. The high rate of postoperative complications and reoperation intervention is still a problem that plagues surgeons. There are few reports on the understanding of the anatomy and physiological functions of MAPCAs. This article systematically reviews and analyzes domestic and foreign literature, and reviews the anatomical classification, surgical management strategies and related complications of PA-VSD patients.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effects of body mass index (BMI) on the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:The databases (PubMed, Medline,Web of Science) were searched to identify clinical literatures about the relationship between BMI and the prognosis of DLBCL according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RevMan 5.3 software was used to analyze hazard ratio ( HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS); the quality of included literatures, publication bias risk and heterogeneity were also evaluated. Results:There were 12 articles included in our research. Meta-analysis result showed that compared with normal weight patients (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m 2), the overweight patients (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m 2) had longer OS and PFS time, while the differences were not statistically significant (OS: HR=0.93, 95% CI 0.78-1.11, P=0.42; PFS: HR=0.89, 95% CI 0.67-1.20, P=0.45). The under-weight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m 2) (OS: HR=1.97, 95% CI 1.41-2.74, P < 0.01; PFS: HR=1.89, 95% CI 1.19-3.03, P < 0.01) and the obesity (BMI≥30.0 kg/m 2) patients both had shorter OS and PFS time, but the latter had no statistically significant difference (OS: HR=1.15, 95% CI 0.88-1.51, P=0.31; PFS: HR=1.32, 95% CI 0.90-1.94, P=0.15). No publication bias was observed in the symmetric funnel plot analysis. Conclusion:The increased BMI within a certain range is a protective factor for the prognosis of DLBCL patients.

Objective:To explore the application prospect of "education cloud platform + dual track" teaching in continuing medical education of thoracic surgery.Methods:A total of 100 trainees who participated in continuing medical education in thoracic surgery department in Air Force Medical University were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 50 students in each group. The experimental group adopted "education cloud platform + dual-track" teaching, and the control group adopted dual-track teaching. At the end of the study, an examination of theoretical knowledge and practical operation would be conducted; at the same time, an anonymous questionnaire survey would be used to evaluate the satisfaction of the two teaching modes. SPSS 20.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in basic theoretical performance. The professional theoretical performance [(28.6±3.7) points] and operational theory performance [(34.9±4.7) points] of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, with significant differences ( P<0.05). The experimental group performed better than the control group in five practical operation assessments: basic operation of thoracoscopy, basic operation of opening and closing the chest, operation of vascular isolation and suture, operation of esophageal anastomosis and operation of tracheal anastomosis, with statistical differences ( P<0.05). The satisfaction with teaching of experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:"Education cloud platform + dual track" teaching can effectively ensure the teaching progress of problem-based learning (PBL) and team-based learning (TBL), improve students' learning effect, and has high promotion and application value.

Objective: To investigate the effects of treatment of hernia sac stump in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (TAPP) on postoperative seroma. Methods: The prospective study was conducted. The clinical data of 128 male patients with primary indirect inguinal hernia who were admitted to Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from October 2017 to March 2019 were selected. Patients were divided into two groups by random number method. Patients in experimental group had hernia sac stump sutured and fixed at the lower margin of rectus abdominis after transection of hernia sac in TAPP, and patients in control group had hernia sac stump free in the abdominal cavity after dissection and transection of hernia sac in TAPP. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was conducted to detect the incidence of postoperative seroma, incision infection, chronic pain, and hernia recurrence up to June 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was done using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range), and comparison between groups was done using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers and percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: A total of 128 male patients were screened for eligibility, including 60 patients in the experimental group and 68 patients in the control group. The 128 patients were aged from 47 to 74 years, with an average age of 61 years. (1) Surgical situations: operation time and hospital expenses were (102±34)minutes and (12 813±2 390)yuan for the experimental group, and (97±30)minutes and (12 125±2 205)yuan for the control group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups (t=0.907, 1.685, P>0.05). (2) Follow-up: all the 128 patients received follow-up. There were 8 cases of seroma in both the experimental group and the control group, with no significant difference between the two groups (χ²=0.072, P>0.05). The extraction volume of patients with seroma was 20 mL (range, 4-31 mL) in the experimental group, and 43 mL (range, 23-98 mL) in the control group, showing a significant difference between the two groups (Z=-2.013, P<0.05). There was no incision infection, chronic pain or hernia recurrence in 3 months after operation in patients with seroma of either experimental group or control group. Conclusions During TAPP, suture and fixation of the hernia sac stump to the lower edge of rectus abdominis and free hernia sac stump in the abdominal cavity after dissection and transection of hernia sac can effectively repair indirect inguinal hernia. The former method can reduce the extraction volume of seroma after operation.

Objective: To investigate the clinical outcomes of selective major aortopulmonary collaterals(MAPCAs) unifocalization and report histopathological findings in patients with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collaterals(PA/VSD/ MAPCAs). Methods: The study enrolled 6 MAPCAs/VSD/PA patients with age ranged from 6 to 96 months and body weight ranged from 5.0 to 23.0 kg. These patients underwent selective MAPCAs unifocalization and primary repairs. Preoperative cardiac catheter, selective arteriography, cardiac CTA and intraoperative pathology were performed to identify different function, anatomic distribution and histopathology of MAPCAs. Results: 6 MAPCAs/VSD/PA patients underwent selective MAPCAs unifocalization and primary repair. No death occurred after operation and at follow-up which lasted for 1 to 20 months. Preoperative cardiac catheter, selective arteriography and intraoperative histopathology demonstrated distribution of functional MAPCAs similar to native pulmonary artery arborization and participating in arterial gas exchange. Functional MAPCAs were classified into elastic arteries according to histopathology. Conclusion There are two histological type of MAPCAs which play different roles. Selective unifocalization to functional MAPCAs which are classified into elastic arteries like native pulmonary artery is a safe and effective treatment approach for PA/VSD/MAPCAs.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of complete transposition of great arterial with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction(TGA/LVOTO) patients who received arterial switch operation(ASO),and further evaluated the risk factors of postoperative adverse events.Methods Retrospectively evaluated the adverse events(including postoperative mortality,reoperation,aortic valve insufficiency,re-LVOTO and mitral valve insufficiency) and the related risk factors of 39 TGA/LVOTO patients after ASO.Results 39 TGA/LVOTO patients were included,the mean Z value of PV was 0.6,the mean peak LVOT gradient was 31.6 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa).The mean follow up time was 15.9 months,during the follow up,1 patient had early mortality,and CPB time(P =0.034) was associated with early mortality;4 patients had early reintervention;15 patients had AVI,and larger PV Z value(P =0.026) was associated with postoperative AVI;7 patients had MVI,and subvalvar level LVOTO(P =0.001) was associated postoperative MVI;6 patients had re-LVOTO,and older age at operation (P =0.029),muhi-level LVOTO (P =0.024) were associated with postoperative re-LVOTO.Conclusion If the obstruction of LVOT can be repaired by surgery,TGA/LVOTO patients had a satisfied prognosis after ASO with relief of LVOTO,the postoperative early mortality was very low,and although the probability of re-LVOTO was increased with time,the long-term reintervention probability was very low.
