ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Recent studies have shown that research on naringin anti-osteoporosis mostly stays in in vitro and in vivo experiments.Understanding the mechanism of related signaling pathways and the expression of related proteins and some specific genes is an important way to deeply understand naringin anti-osteoporosis.At present,traditional Chinese medicine has been confirmed to have a significant role in anti-osteoporosis.Naringin is one of the main active ingredients in Rhizoma Drynariae.Its effectiveness and mechanism of action against osteoporosis have been gradually recognized by scholars,and its clinical and basic research has been gradually emphasized. OBJECTIVE:To analyze and summarize the research progress of naringin in anti-osteoporosis in vitro and in vivo,thereby providing some ideas for the next step to study its related mechanism of action. METHODS:The relevant literatures included in CNKI and PubMed database were searched with the Chinese search terms of"naringin,osteoporosis,traditional Chinese medicine compound,pathogenesis,signaling pathway,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,osteoblasts,osteoclasts"in Chinese and English,respectively.The corresponding criteria were established according to the research needs,and finally 69 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Naringin blocks the increase in the number of osteoclasts and adipocytes,the decrease in the number of osteocytes and osteocalcin(+)cells induced by fructose-rich diet,and promotes the secretion of Sema3A from osteoblasts and osteocytes,thereby enhancing local bone formation and inhibiting osteoclast production by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.Naringin is an important way to induce autophagy of osteoblasts,but autophagy-related proteins participate in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation.Lack of autophagy in osteoblasts reduces mineralization and leads to an imbalance in the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts,which results in bone loss and decreased bone density.The composite scaffold loaded with naringin can be used as a necessary carrier for bone defect repair and has excellent bone repair properties.Naringin can also accelerate the growth of new bone tissue by increasing the local contents of bone morphogenetic protein 2 and vascular endothelial growth factor.Naringin can regulate bone metabolism and inhibit oxidative stress via ERK,PI3K/Akt and Wnt signaling pathways to improve osteoporosis,which can play a good role in preventing and controlling the disease.However,the depth and breadth of the relevant research is insufficient.Based on the mechanism of the current study,we should investigate the specific mechanisms by which naringin regulates different pathways and inter-pathway interactions in the future,which will be beneficial to the multifaceted development of naringin used in the treatment of osteoporosis..
ABSTRACT
Pyocin S2 and S4 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa use the same uptake channels as the pyoverdine does in bacteria, indicating a possible connection between them. In this study, we characterized the single bacterial gene expression distribution of three S-type pyocins (Pys2, PA3866, and PyoS5) and examined the impact of pyocin S2 on bacterial uptake of pyoverdine. The findings demonstrated that the expression of the S-type pyocin genes was highly differentiated in bacterial population under DNAdamage stress. Moreover, exogenous addition of pyocin S2 reduces the bacterial uptake of pyoverdine so that the presence of pyocin S2 prevents the uptake of environmental pyoverdine by non-pyoverdine synthesizing 'cheaters', thereby reducing their resistance to oxidative stress. Furthermore, we discovered that overexpression of the SOS response regulator PrtN in bacteria significantly decreased the expression of genes involved in the synthesis of pyoverdine, significantly decreasing the overall synthesis and exocytosis of pyoverdine. These findings imply a connection between the function of the iron absorption system and the SOS stress response mechanism in bacteria.

At present, obesity and overweight patients are increasing year by year in the world. Bariatric surgery is the most effective method for treating obesity at present. Due to its high risk, large trauma, irreversible operation, high cost and patient preference, the overall acceptance degree is not high at present. With the development of endoscopic technology and materials and equipment, various surgical methods emerge one after another. They are less invasive, reversible and similar to traditional bariatric surgery in weight loss effect. They are more and more widely used in obesity and metabolism. Depending on the site of the endoscopic intervention: The authors review the advances in endoscopic bariatric surgery for obesity, including the different principles of surgery and the effects of bariatric surgery on different sites.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the molecular mechanism of zinc donor regulating macrophage polarization, and to explore the correlation between serum zinc content and the clinical index during radical resection of lung cancer.Methods:One hundred and thirty-two patients who undergoing radical resection of lung cancer were enrolled in this study. The serum zinc content was detected by atomic absorption spectrophotometry before operation. The patients were allocated into high-Zn group and low-Zn group. The blood samples of the included subjects were collected before operation (before), immediately after operation (POP1) and 6 hours after operation (POP2), and the plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and catalase were detected. The correlation between serum zinc content and clinical features were analyzed. Metrological statistics was performed by using t test or Mann- Whitney test, and counting statistics was performed by χ2 test. Results:The POP1-hs-CRP[(1.69±0.66)mg/L vs. (1.99±0.43)mg/L, POP2-hs-CRP[(3.51±1.01)mg/L vs. (4.59±0.78)mg/L] and other indicators of high-Zn group were significantly lower than those of low-Zn group.Conclusion:There is a negative correlation between serum zinc content and the inflammation during radical resection of lung cancer, suggesting that appropriate zinc supplementation has a protective effect on radical resection of lung cancer patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of autophagy on liver injury with obstructive jaundice in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and its underlying mechanism.Methods:Thirty-five healthy male SD rats, SPF grade, aged 6-8 weeks, weighting 200-300 g, were divided into 5 groups with 7 rats in each group, including sham group (simple free common bile duct, without ligation, intraperitoneal injection of normal saline), obstructive jaundice (OJ) group (established by common bile duct ligation, intraperitoneal injection of normal saline), OJ group with 3-MA, OJ group with Rapamycin, and OJ group with 3-MA and VX-765. Morphological changes in liver tissues were analyzed with HE staining. Expression of autophagy-related protein Atg5 was detected by immunohistochemistry staining. Liver function was analyzed by automatic biochemical instrument and the level of serum interleukin (IL)-18 was detected using ELISA assay. Protein levels of autophagy related-proteins and endoplasmic reticulum stressed (ERs)-related apoptosis proteins were detected by Western Blot.Results:The relative expression of autophagy related protein Atg5 in OJ group was significantly higher than that in sham group [(5.0±1.0) vs. (2.8±1.3), t=-3.00, P<0.05]. Compared with sham group, the activity of autophagy was enhanced and the protein levels of Caspase-1/p-65 and IL-18 were significantly increased in OJ group. At the same time, apoptosis was induced by activating ERs. In OJ group, the autophagy inducer 3-MA improved the expression levels of Caspase-1/p-65 and IL-18, and aggravate liver injury. While after applying the autophagy agonist Rapamycin in OJ rat models, the expression of Caspase-1/p-65 and IL-18 was repressed and liver damage was also reduced. In addition, in rat OJ groups with 3-MA, inhibition of Caspase-1 by VX-765 could down regulate the expression of Caspase-1/p-65 and IL-18, and protect against liver injury. Conclusions:Both ERs related apoptosis and autophagy were activated after ligation of common bile duct. Besides, activation of autophagy could reduce OJ-induced liver injury in SD rats by inhibiting the Caspase-1/p-65 inflammatory pathway.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of cell migration-inducing hyaluronidase 1 (CEMIP) on biological function of gallbladder cancer GBC-SD cells and its possible mechanism.Methods:The expression of CEMIP in biliary epithelial cell line HIBEC and gallbladder cancer cell line NOZ and GBC-SD was detected by Western blot. GBC-SD cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into blank control group, negative control group (transfection with nonsense siRNA), siCEMIP-1 group (transfection with siCEMIP-1) and siCEMIP-2 group (transfection with siCEMIP-2). The expression of CEMIP and binding immunoglobulin protein (Bip) and calreticulin (CRT) in GBC-SD cells was detected by Western blot after culturing for 48h in blank control group, negative control group, siCEMIP-1 and siCEMIP-2 group. The relative survival rate was determined by CCK-8 assay. The wound healing rate and apoptotic rate was detected by wound healing assay and flow cytometry. The migration and invasion abilities were evaluated by Transwell chamber assay. Twelve 5-week-old BALB/c-nude mice were selected and divided into control group and experimental group (6 mice in each group). GBC-SD cells and GBC-SD cells with silenced CEMIP were subcutaneously injected into the right armpit (forelimb) of the two groups of mice, respectively. The volume and weight of transplanted tumor were compared 33 days later.Results:Compared with HIBEC cells, the relative protein level of CEMIP in gallbladder cancer GBC-SD cells [(0.750±0.034) vs. (0.120±0.002)] and NOZ cells [(0.690±0.013) vs. (0.120±0.002)] was significantly higher ( P<0.05). Compared with blank control group and negative control group, the relative protein level of CEMIP, Bip and CRT in siCEMIP-1 group and siCEMIP-2 group was significantly lower ( P<0.05). Compared with blank control group and negative control group, the relative survival rate and wound healing rate and number of migration cells and invading cells in siCEMIP-1 group and siCEMIP-2 group were also significantly lower ( P<0.05). While the apoptotic rate in siCEMIP-1 group and siCEMIP-2 group were higher than that in blank control group and negative control group ( P<0.05). Compared with control group, the average tumor volume [(543.6±114.7) vs. (801.5±256.3) mm 3] and tumor weight [(0.453±0.093) vs. (0.728±0.278) g ] of the experimental group was significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusions:CEMIP was up-regulated in gallbladder cancer cell line GBC-SD and NOZ. Silencing CEMIP inhibited cell proliferation, wound healing rate, migration and invasion, and promoted apoptosis in gallbladder cancer GBC-SD cells, which may be related to the inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone Bip and CRT expression.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) after lung transplantation (LTx).Methods:Between March 2017 and December 2021, 17 TB infections were diagnosed in 424 LTx recipients at China-Japan Friendship Hospital.Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed and clinical features, treatments, therapeutic efficacies and outcomes examined.Results:The incidence of TB was 4%(17/424). There were 14 males and 3 females, with a median age of 57 years.Bilateral LTx was performed (n=12). Eight probably donor derived infection, six de novo exposure and infection and 3 reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) of recipients were determined.Most infections (16/17) were diagnosed within the first year post-LTx and 11 infections within the first month.All 17 cases were TB DNA positive and one positive for rifampin-resistant gene.Four cases were positive for TB DNA and acid-fast bacilli test and 6 cases positive for TB DNA and culture.Nodular or cavity (10/13) was the most common finding on chest tomography and the lesions were located predominantly in superior lobe.Therapeutic regimen without rifamycin (n=14) and rifabutin or rifapentine replacing rifampin (n=2) were employed.Treatment was successful (n=10) and clinically effective (n=2). Only one TB infection related death was recorded.Conclusions:LTBI or donor derived infection is common.Therapeutic regimen without rifamycin shows some potential clinical feasibility.
ABSTRACT
At present, the aging trend of China′s population is intensifying and the number of overweight and obese elderly people is on the rise. The elderly obese is facing the treatment of related metabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, etc. In addition to life intervention and drug control, bariatric surgery is also one of the effective methods. Bariatric surgery can permanently reduce body mass, improve or alleviate the condition of patients, and prolong life. The authors analyze the indications and contraindications, perioperative manage-ment, surgical methods, surgical safety and effectiveness, and current problems of bariatric surgery for elderly obese patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the safety of continuous suture and interrupted suture in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and Omentopexy.Methods:The retrospective study include 121 patients who underwent Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and Omentopexy in the Department of Obesity and Metabolic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University from January 2019 to March 2020.Among the 121 patients, 40 were males and 81 females, with an average age of (30.17±10.16) and (27.10±11.03), respectively. Among them, 70 patients used continuous suture during OP (continuous suture group), and 51 patients used intermittent suture (interrupted suture group). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain score, postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Normally distributed measurement data were measured as (mean ± standard) deviation ( Mean± SD), and t test was used to count the comparison between the two groups. The χ2 test was used to compare the measurement data between groups. The rank data used Wilconxon rank sum test. Results:(1) Intraoperative conditions: the operative time and intraoperative blood loss in the continuous suture group were (124.89±37.69) min and (7.3±2.5) mL, respectively. In the interrupted suture group, the above indexes were (124.80±35.53) min and (7.0±2.5) mL, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( t=0.012, 0.709, P>0.05). (2) Postoperative conditions: postoperative pain score and postoperative hospital stay in the continuous suture group were: mild pain in 45 cases, moderate pain in 25 cases, painless and severe pain in 0 cases, (9.3±3.2) d, respectively. In the interrupted suture group, the above indicators were 39 cases of mild pain, 12 cases of moderate pain, 0 cases of painless and severe pain, (8.7±2.1) d, and there was no statistical significance between the two groups ( Z=-1.431, P>0.05, t=1.149, P>0.05). In the continuous suture group, postoperative abdominal distension occurred in 8 cases, nausea and vomiting in 32 cases, gastroesophageal reflux in 17 cases by upper digestive tract imaging, contrast agent slowly passed through the residual stomach/anastomotic site in 14 cases, gastric volvulus in 6 cases, and no postoperative infection or anastomotic leakage occurred. In the interrupted suture group, the above indexes were 10 cases, 25 cases, 14 cases, 10 cases, gastric volvulus in 1 cases, and no postoperative infection or anastomotic leakage occurred. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=1.559, 0.010, 0.155, 0.003, 1.308, P>0.05). Conclusions:In laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and omentopexy, there is no significant difference between the continuous suture and interrupted suture in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications. The surgeon can choose a suitable suture method based on his own judgment and experience.
ABSTRACT
Bariatric surgery has been proven to be an effective way to relieve obesity and related metabolic diseases. Complications after bariatric surgery mainly include postoperative bleeding, anastomotic leakage, gastroesophageal reflux, dumping syndrome and so on. Deep vein thrombosis is a rare complication, with low incidence in many literatures. However, deep vein thrombosis is an important cause of pulmonary embolism. Once pulmonary embolism occurs, the difficulty of treatment and mortality are both high. The authors summarize the related literature on venous thromboembolism after bariatric surgery, and briefly describe the strategies of prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To discuss the surgical effect of modified cervical cerclage for the treatment of pregnant women with cervical insufficiency.Methods:The clinical data of 225 pregnant women who underwent modified cervical cerclage in Qilu Hospital (Qingdao) were selected for retrospective analysis from April 2014 to June 2020. Surgical success rate, full-term birth rate, preterm birth rate, prolonged pregnancy weeks and newborn birth weight were compared between singleton and twin pregnancies, preventive cerclage and emergency cerclage, surgery before and after 18 weeks, naturally and in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) conceived pregnant women respectively.Results:Among the 225 pregnant women, the gestational weeks of surgery were 14-24 +5 weeks, mean gestational weeks of delivery were 38 +2 weeks (35 +5-39 +3 weeks), the number of prolonged gestation were (20.3±5.2) weeks, and the newborn birth weight was (3 065±735) g; the overall surgical success rate was 92.9% (209/225), and the miscarriage rate was 7.1% (16/225); among the surviving newborns, the full-term birth rate was 73.7% (154/209), and the preterm birth rate was 26.3% (55/209). All cases had no intraoperative complications. Among the 225 pregnant women, 202 (89.8%, 202/225) cases were singleton pregnancies, and 23 (10.2%, 23/225) cases were twin pregnancies; 201 (89.3%, 201/225) cases underwent preventive cervical cerclage, and 24 (10.7%, 24/225) cases underwent emergency cervical cerclage; 190 (84.4%, 190/225) cases underwent the surgery before 18 weeks, and 35 (15.6%, 35/225) cases underwent the surgery after 18 weeks; 49 (21.8%, 49/225) cases were conceived by IVF-ET. There was no statistically significant difference in the overall surgical success rate of single and twin group ( P>0.05). The full-term birth rate, newborn birth weight and prolonged pregnancy weeks of single group were higher than those of twin group ( P<0.05). There were no statistical differences between preventive and emergency cerclage in overall surgical success rate, full-term birth rate, preterm birth rate, and newborn birth weight (all P>0.05). The pregnancy prolonged weeks of preventive cerclage was higher than that of emergency cerclage ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the overall surgical success rate, full-term birth rate, preterm birth rate and birth weight of newborns at different surgical timings (all P>0.05). The pregnancy prolonged week for those who underwent surgery before 18 weeks was higher than that of surgery after 18 weeks ( P<0.05). The premature birth rate of IVF-ET was higher than that of naturally conceived pregnant women ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The modified cervical cerclage could effectively prolong the gestational weeks of delivery, reduce the rate of preterm birth, and the operation is simple and easy to promote. It could be used as a surgical option for patients with cervical insufficiency.
ABSTRACT
Purpose@#The purpose of the study is to determine the prevalence and predictors of OSA in Chinese bariatric surgery candidates. @*Materials and Methods@#The clinical data were collected from 326 patients evaluated for bariatric surgery and referred for polysomnography. Multiple logistic regression was used for identifying independent predictors of presence of OSA and ROC curve analysis to determine the best cut-off value for continuous variable. @*Results@#Baseline BMI and age were 33.3±3.7 kg/m2 and 24.3±3.1 years. 62.9% of the patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for OSA; Of these, 22.7% had mild OSA; 11.3% had moderate OSA, and 28.8% had severe OSA. The prevalence was significantly higher in males (84.2%) than in females (47.3%) (P＜0.001). The superobese patients and the obese patients aged older than 50 years that all of those were diagnosed with OSA. A multivariate logistic regression model displayed that increasing age, BMI and neck circumference together with presence of habitual snoring and male sex were identified as risk factors of OSA. The best cut-off values for the presence of OSA for age, BMI, neck circumference were 24.5 years, 39.45 kg/m2 , 40.40 cm. @*Conclusion@#The prevalence of OSA is very prevalent (62.9%) in Chinese bariatric surgery candidates, especially in male patients (84%). Age, BMI and neck circumference together with presence of habitual snoring and male sex are independent predictors of OSA in these patients. As clinical predictors are not enough to be a properly screening for OSA, routine PSG testing should be recommended to bariatric surgery candidates.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication following lung transplantation (LTx), and it is associated with high mortality and morbidity. This study assessed the incidence of AKI after LTx and analyzed the associated perioperative factors and clinical outcomes.@*METHODS@#This retrospective study included all adult LTx recipients at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing between March 2017 and December 2019. The outcomes were AKI incidence, risk factors, mortality, and kidney recovery. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors. Survival analysis was presented using the Kaplan-Meier curves.@*RESULTS@#AKI occurred in 137 of the 191 patients (71.7%), with transient AKI in 43 (22.5%) and persistent AKI in 94 (49.2%). AKI stage 1 occurred in 27/191 (14.1%), stage 2 in 46/191 (24.1%), and stage 3 in 64/191 (33.5%) of the AKI patients. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) was administered to 35/191 (18.3%) of the patients. Male sex, older age, mechanical ventilation (MV), severe hypotension, septic shock, multiple organ dysfunction (MODS), prolonged extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), reintubation, and nephrotoxic agents were associated with AKI (P < 0.050). Persistent AKI was independently associated with pre-operative pulmonary hypertension, severe hypotension, post-operative MODS, and nephrotoxic agents. Severe hypotension, septic shock, MODS, reintubation, prolonged MV, and ECMO during or after LTx were related to severe AKI (stage 3) (P < 0.050). Patients with persistent and severe AKI had a significantly longer duration of MV, longer duration in the intensive care unit (ICU), worse downstream kidney function, and reduced survival (P < 0.050).@*CONCLUSIONS@#AKI is common after LTx, but the pathogenic mechanism of AKI is complicated, and prerenal causes are important. Persistent and severe AKI were associated with poor short- and long-term kidney function and reduced survival in LTx patients.

Drug delivery with customized combinations of drugs, controllable drug dosage, and on-demand release kinetics is critical for personalized medicine. In this study, inspired by successive opening of layered structures and compartmentalized structures in plants, we designed a multiple compartmentalized capsular structure for controlled drug delivery. The structure was designed as a series of compartments, defined by the gradient thickness of their external walls and internal divisions. Based on the careful choice and optimization of bioinks composed of gelatin, starch, and alginate, the capsular structures were successfully manufactured by fused deposition modeling three-dimensional (3D) printing. The capsules showed fusion and firm contact between printed layers, forming complete structures without significant defects on the external walls and internal joints. Internal cavities with different volumes were achieved for different drug loading as designed. In vitro swelling demonstrated a successive dissolving and opening of external walls of different capsule compartments, allowing successive drug pulses from the capsules, resulting in the sustained release for about 410 min. The drug release was significantly prolonged compared to a single burst release from a traditional capsular design. The bioinspired design and manufacture of multiple compartmentalized capsules enable customized drug release in a controllable fashion with combinations of different drugs, drug doses, and release kinetics, and have potential for use in personalized medicine.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate perioperative coagulatory parameters and transfusion rates of lung transplantation recipients.Methods:Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 178 lung transplant recipients at China-Japan Friendship Hospital from March 2017 to July 2019. According to whether extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)was used during perioperative period, they were divided into two groups of ECMO(131 cases)and without ECMO(47 cases). Clinical data, laboratory examinations and blood transfusion status of two groups were compared. In ECMO group, excluding secondary thoracotomy for hemostasis(7 cases)and incomplete data(2 cases), the remainders were divided into the groups of no red blood cell transfusion(63 cases), red blood cell transfusion(59 cases), plasma transfusion <1 000 ml(99 cases)and plasma transfusion≥1 000 ml (23 cases), no platelet transfusion(93 cases)and platelet transfusion(29 cases). Clinical data, laboratory examinations and ECMO-related parameters of recipients were analyzed by Bary Logistic regression.Results:Statistically significant inter-group differences existed in body mass index(BMI), disease course, primary disease, bilateral lung transplantation, laboratory examinations, postoperative blood transfusion volume, postoperative red blood cell and plasma transfusion ratio between groups with and without ECMO( P<0.05). Bilateral lung transplantation, ASA grade, differences in BMI, disease course, postoperative hemoglobin<100 g/L, postoperative PT/APTT/INR abnormalities and postoperative PLT count <100×10 9/L were independent risk factors for postoperative transfusion during ECMO. Conclusions:The application of ECMO during lung transplantation may affect the perioperative transfusion volume and demand.Fully assessing blood transfusion requirements, optimizing coagulation monitoring and identifying the independent influencing factors of postoperative blood transfusion facilitate clinical scientific and rational blood transfusions.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To assess the potentials for lung donation among 128 donors (deceased citizens) in 2017 from Beijing.Methods:Gender, age, blood type, duration of ventilation, oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2), chest film and bronchoscopy were analyzed. Results:A total of 5135 deceased Chinese citizens were available for donation in 2017. The rate of donation per million population (PMP) was 3.71. And 463 donors from Beijing were recorded in 2017 and the rate of PMP was 21.05. In 2017, 299 lung transplantations were performed with an average rate of donor lung utility at 5.82%. Among 128 cases assessed for potential lung donors in Beijing, 72 were successfully procured with a percentage of lung utilization of 15.55%. There were 110 males (85.94%) and 18 females (14.06%) with an average age of (39.61±10.67) years. Mechanical ventilation duration was (7.59±2.93) days. The oxygenation rate (PaO 2/FiO 2) was (397.38±105.01) mmHg, (450±67.79) mmHg in procurement group and (338.89±116.15) mmHg in non-procurement group ( P=0.020). The median level of procalcitonin (PCT) was 0.195 ng/ml in procurement group versus 0.349 ng/ml in giving-up group ( P=0.042). Conclusions:Oxygenation rate and PCT level are the independent risk factors for reaching a procurement decision of donor lung. The actual PMP and lung procurement rate in Beijing were both higher than average domestic level (15.55% vs. 5.82%, P=0.000) because of excellent cooperation between Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) and lung transplantation centers. The evaluation of donor lungs and lung maintenance protocols from Beijing should be popularized nationwide.
ABSTRACT
Laparoscopic bariatric and metabolic surgery in China began in 2000. After 20 years of development, it has realized the transformation from nothing to existence and then to rapid development. In this paper, the number of Chinese and English literatures on weight loss and metabolism published in China in the past 20 years, the source of literature institutions, published journals, literature types, key words and other aspects are analyzed. The results show as follows: the number of published literatures is generally increasing, bariatric surgery has changed from gastric bypass and gastric banding to gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, revisional surgery and intestinal flora have been the focus of research in recent years. However, the development of laparoscopic bariatric surgery in China is still in its infancy, and there is few high-level evidence-based multicenter prospective randomized controlled study. Therefore, the authors suggest that more and larger sample, multicenter, randomized controlled studies should be carried out in the future and it requires to develop guidelines suitable for Chinese population. In order to promote the further development of bariatric and metabolic surgery in China, we should establish national data and register clinical data, strergthon the combination of clinical research and basic research and conduct deeper research based on the database.

Objective To investigate the application value of caesarean section scar or bikini line incisional approach in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinical data of 162 patients with obesity and metabolic diseases who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University between March 2018 and April 2019 were collected.There were 51 males and 111 females,aged (35± 8)years,with a range from 12 to 47 years.Of 162 patients,72 undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy via caesarean section scar or bikini line incisional approach and 90 undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy via traditional incisional approach were respectively allocated into concealed incision group and traditional incision group.Observation indicators:(1) surgical situations;(2) intraoperative situations;(3) postoperative situations;(4) follow-up.Follow-up using outpatient examination,telephone interview,and WeChat was performed to detect the postoperative complications at 1,3,6 months and 1,2,5 years postoperatively up to May 2019.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD,and the t test was used for comparison between groups.Count data were represented as absolute numbers,and were analyzed by the chisquare test or fisher exact probability.Ordinal data were analyzed by the Wilcoxon rank sum test.Results (1) Surgical situations:patients in the concealed incision group and traditional incision group underwent successfully laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy,without conversion to open surgery,reoperation,or perioperative death.(2) Intmoperative situations:the operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of the concealed incision group were (102± 17) minutes and (11±4) mL,respectively,versus (105± 19) minutes and (11 ±.4) mL of the traditional incision group (t=-1.232,-0.676,P＞0.05).There were 6 cases and 21 cases with additional surgical ports during operation in the concealed incision group and traditional incision group,respectively,with a significant difference between the two groups (x2=6.280,P＜0.05).(3) Postoperative situations:in the concealed incision group,56 patients were very satisfied with scar appearance and 16 patients were satisfied with scar appearance.In the traditional incision group,42 patients were very satisfied with scar appearance and 48 patients were satisfied with scar appearance.There was a significant difference in the overall satisfaction with the incision scar between the two groups (Z =-4.012,P＜0.05).Duration of postoperative hospital stay and total hospital expenses of the concealed incision group were (4.9±0.9) days and (64 408±5 123) yuan,versus (5.2± 1.5) days and (64 953± 3 477)yuan of the traditional incision group (t =-1.788,-0.804,P＞0.05).There were 19 and 14 patients with gastroesophageal reflux in the concealed incision group and traditional incision group,respectively,with no significant difference between the two groups (x2=2.894,P＞0.05).There was no postoperative complication such as infection,hemorrhage or anastomotic leakage in either group.(4) Follow-up:32 of 162 patients were lost to follow-up,including 10 in the concealed incision group and 22 in the traditional incision group;other 130 patients were followed up for 1-14 months,with a median follow-up time of 7 months.During the follow-up,1 patient in the traditional incision group was hospitalized again at 3 months after surgery due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding,and was cured after symptomatic supportive treatment.One patient in the concealed incision group was admitted to the local hospital for functional obstruction at 1 month after surgery and was discharged after symptomatic treatment.Other patients had no readmission due to postoperative complications.Conclusion Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy via caesarean section scar or bikini line incision is safe and feasible,with good cosmetic effects.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the application value of caesarean section scar or bikini line incisional approach in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.@*Methods@#The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 162 patients with obesity and metabolic diseases who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University between March 2018 and April 2019 were collected. There were 51 males and 111 females, aged (35±8)years, with a range from 12 to 47 years. Of 162 patients, 72 undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy via caesarean section scar or bikini line incisional approach and 90 undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy via traditional incisional approach were respectively allocated into concealed incision group and traditional incision group. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) intraoperative situations; (3) postoperative situations; (4) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination, telephone interview, and WeChat was performed to detect the postoperative complications at 1, 3, 6 months and 1, 2, 5 years postoperatively up to May 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and the t test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were represented as absolute numbers, and were analyzed by the chi-square test or fisher exact probability. Ordinal data were analyzed by the Wilcoxon rank sum test.@*Results@#(1) Surgical situations: patients in the concealed incision group and traditional incision group underwent successfully laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, without conversion to open surgery, reoperation, or perioperative death. (2) Intraoperative situations: the operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of the concealed incision group were (102±17)minutes and (11±4)mL, respectively, versus (105±19)minutes and (11±4)mL of the traditional incision group (t=-1.232, -0.676, P>0.05). There were 6 cases and 21 cases with additional surgical ports during operation in the concealed incision group and traditional incision group, respectively, with a significant difference between the two groups (χ2=6.280, P<0.05). (3) Postoperative situations: in the concealed incision group, 56 patients were very satisfied with scar appearance and 16 patients were satisfied with scar appearance. In the traditional incision group, 42 patients were very satisfied with scar appearance and 48 patients were satisfied with scar appearance. There was a significant difference in the overall satisfaction with the incision scar between the two groups (Z=-4.012, P<0.05). Duration of postoperative hospital stay and total hospital expenses of the concealed incision group were (4.9±0.9)days and (64 408±5 123)yuan, versus (5.2±1.5)days and (64 953±3 477)yuan of the traditional incision group (t=-1.788, -0.804, P>0.05). There were 19 and 14 patients with gastroesophageal reflux in the concealed incision group and traditional incision group, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=2.894, P>0.05). There was no postoperative complication such as infection, hemorrhage or anastomotic leakage in either group. (4) Follow-up: 32 of 162 patients were lost to follow-up, including 10 in the concealed incision group and 22 in the traditional incision group; other 130 patients were followed up for 1-14 months, with a median follow-up time of 7 months. During the follow-up, 1 patient in the traditional incision group was hospitalized again at 3 months after surgery due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and was cured after symptomatic supportive treatment. One patient in the concealed incision group was admitted to the local hospital for functional obstruction at 1 month after surgery and was discharged after symptomatic treatment. Other patients had no readmission due to postoperative complications.@*Conclusion@#Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy via caesarean section scar or bikini line incision is safe and feasible, with good cosmetic effects.
