ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) combined with delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with direct LC in the treatment of acute cholecystitis.Methods:A single-center case-control retrospective study was used. Sixty-three patients with acute cholecystitis with onset time ≥ 72 hours during the period from August 1, 2021 to December 10, 2022 in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the 900TH Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force were selected. There were 38 males and 25 females, aged (57.3±15.4) years, with an age range of 28-87 years. According to whether PTGBD treatment was performed before LC, they were divided into experimental group ( n=29) and control group ( n=34). Experimental group was treated with PTGBD combined with delayed LC and control group was treated with LC only.The differences in operative time, intra-operative bleeding, intra-operative transit open rate, post-operative hospital days, total hospital days, hospital costs, short-term post-operative complications of LC and post-operative time to exhaustion were compared and analysed between the two groups. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and independent sample t-test was used for comparison between groups.Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and rank sum test was used for comparison between groups; Chi-square test was used to compare the counting data groups. Results:Intraoperative bleeding, total hospital days, hospital costs and postoperative time to exhaustion were 0(0, 50) mL, 13(11, 18) d, 29 015.0 (22 791.6, 39 000.8) yuan and 1(1, 2) d in the experimental group and 50(0, 88) mL, 7(6, 11) d, 16 015.0 (15 832.1, 22 185.1) yuan, 2(1, 3) d, the difference was statistically significant between the two groups( P<0.05). In the experimental group, the operative time, the intraoperative transit open rate, the number of postoperative hospital days, and the incidence of short-term postoperative complications of LC were 80 (55, 115) min, 13.8%, 5 (3, 7) days, 34.5%, respectively, compared with 98(70, 125) min, 20.6%, 5(3, 6) days, 38.2% in the control group, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of PTGBD combined with delayed LC is better than direct line LC, and it is feasible and effective for patients with cholecystitis whose inflammatory indexes have returned to normal and who have high gallbladder tone.

Methods TM was used to classify the normal beats, premature ventricular contraction (PVC) and supraventricular premature beats (SPB) in the 2020 data set of China Physiological Signal Challenge. This data set consisted of the single-lead electro-cardiogram data of 10 patients with arrhythmia. One patient with atrial fibrillation was excluded, and finally data of the other 9 patients were included in this study. The classification results were then analyzed. Results The classification results showed that the average recognition accuracy of TM was 84.3%, and the basis of classification could be shown by the bit pattern interpretation diagram. Conclusion TM can explain the classification results when classifying heart beats. The reasonable interpretation of classification results can increase the reliability of the model and facilitate people's review and understanding.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To recognize the different phases of Korotkoff sounds through deep learning technology, so as to improve the accuracy of blood pressure measurement in different populations. Methods A classification model of the Korotkoff sounds phases was designed, which fused attention mechanism (Attention), residual network (ResNet) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM). First, a single Korotkoff sound signal was extracted from the whole Korotkoff sounds signals beat by beat, and each Korotkoff sound signal was converted into a Mel spectrogram. Then, the local feature extraction of Mel spectrogram was processed by using the Attention mechanism and ResNet network, and BiLSTM network was used to deal with the temporal relations between features, and full-connection layer network was applied in reducing the dimension of features. Finally, the classification was completed by SoftMax function. The dataset used in this study was collected from 44 volunteers (24 females, 20 males with an average age of 36 years), and the model performance was verified using 10-fold cross-validation. Results The classification accuracy of the established model for the 5 types of Korotkoff sounds phases was 93.4%, which was higher than that of other models. Conclusion This study proves that the deep learning method can accurately classify Korotkoff sounds phases, which lays a strong technical foundation for the subsequent design of automatic blood pressure measurement methods based on the classification of the Korotkoff sounds phases.
ABSTRACT
@#Currently, in precision cardiac surgery, there are still some pressing issues that need to be addressed. For example, cardiopulmonary bypass remains a critical factor in precise surgical treatment, and many core aspects still rely on the experience and subjective judgment of cardiopulmonary bypass specialists and surgeons, lacking precise data feedback. With the increasing elderly population and rising surgical complexity, precise feedback during cardiopulmonary bypass becomes crucial for improving surgical success rates and facilitating high-complexity procedures. Overcoming these key challenges requires not only a solid medical background but also close collaboration among multiple interdisciplinary fields. Establishing a multidisciplinary team encompassing professionals from the medical, information, software, and related industries can provide high-quality solutions to these challenges. This article shows several patents from a collaborative medical and electronic information team, illustrating how to identify unresolved technical issues and find corresponding solutions in the field of precision cardiac surgery while sharing experiences in applying for invention patents.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression levels of basic leucine zipper and W2 domain 2 (BZW2) and isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IVD) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and evaluate their effect on clinical prognosis of liver transplant recipients with HCC. Methods Pathological specimens and clinical data of 87 liver transplant recipients with HCC were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The recurrence and metastasis of HCC after liver transplantation were assessed. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression levels of BZW2 and IVD. The relationship between BZW2, IVD and clinicopathological parameters of HCC and their effect on postoperative recurrence and clinical prognosis of the recipients was analyzed. Results Among 87 recipients, 31 cases recurred with a recurrence rate of 36%. HCC recurred at postoperative 2-49 months and the median recurrence time was postoperative 7 months. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that the positive expression rate of BZW2 in the HCC tissues was significantly higher than that in normal liver tissues (76% vs. 30%), and the positive expression rate of IVD was significantly lower compared with that in normal liver tissues (51% vs. 69%) (both P < 0.01). BZW2 expression was significantly correlated with tumor diameter and tumor capsule (both P < 0.05), whereas IVD expression was significantly associated with tumor diameter, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level, tumor, node and metastasis (TNM) staging and whether vascular invasion was found or not (all P < 0.05). In the high BZW2 expression group, the cumulative recurrence rate of HCC was significantly higher and the cumulative survival rate was significantly lower than those in the low BZW2 expression group. In the low IVD expression group, the cumulative recurrence rate of HCC was significantly higher and the cumulative survival rate was significantly lower compared with those in the high IVD expression group (all P < 0.05). Conclusions The expression level of BZW2 protein is up-regulated, whereas that of IVD protein is down-regulated in the HCC tissues. Moreover, the cumulative recurrence rate of HCC is relatively high and the cumulative survival rate is relatively low in liver transplant recipients with high BZW2 expression and low IVD expression.
ABSTRACT
Severe acute pancreatitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies with rapid onset, rapid progression, multiple complications, poor prognosis, and high morbidity and mortality, and it still faces many challenges in treatment. Surgical interventions are crucial in many complications of SAP mainly infected pancreatic necrosis in the late course of the disease, and there is a basic consensus on delayed intervention and trauma ascending treatment model, but over-emphasis on delay may cause patients to miss the best treatment period, and following a single treatment model may delay the patient′s condition. Therefore, it is of great significance for surgeons to grasp the correct indications and timing of surgical intervention and to develop appropriate surgical intervention strategies to reduce the morbidity and mortality of severe acute pancreatitis and improve the clinical prognosis of patients. In this paper, we review the progress of surgical treatment of severe acute pancreatitis with domestic and international literature.

The inoculation of varicella vaccines was retrieved through the Anhui Immunization Information Management System or review of preventive immunization certificates, and the serum VZV IgG antibody was detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ). The seroprevalence and geometric mean concentration of the VZV-IgG antibody were estimated, and the changes of serum the VZV-IgG antibody levels were analyzed at different time intervals following varicella vaccination. @*Results@#Totally 734 children were surveyed, with a mean age of ( 6.94±2.95 ) years, and the subjects included 412 boys ( 56.13% ) and 322 girls ( 43.87% ). There were 514 children ( 70.03% ) with a history of varicella vaccination, including 501 children ( 68.26% ) with one dose of varicella vaccine and 13 children ( 1.77% ) with two doses. There were 297 children ( 40.46% ) positive for VZV-IgG antibody, with seroprevalence of 40.46%, and the GMC of VZV-IgG antibody was 74.97 ( 95%CI: 65.55-85.75 ) mIU/mL. The seroprevalence of the VZV-IgG antibody were 34.55%, 42.91%, and 46.15% among the unvaccinated children and children receiving one dose and two doses of varicella vaccine, with the GMCs of 53.04, 86.31 and 114.46 mIU/mL, respectively. The mean time interval between inoculation of the last dose of varicella vaccine and blood sample collection was ( 5.21±2.79 ) years, and the lowest seroprevalene (31.48%) and GMC of the VZV-IgG antibody (49.96 mIU/mL) were found 4 years after inoculation of varicella vaccine.@*Conclusions@#The serum VZV-IgG antibody level is low among children aged 1 to 12 years in Lu'an City, and the seroprevalence of the VZV-IgG antibody is affected by age and doses of varicella vaccine. A 2-dose schedule of varicella vaccine is recommended for children.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Glutamine (Gln) supplementation on neurobehavioral outcome,neuronal apoptosis,microglia polarization,and neuroinflammatory response after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rats.Methods TBI animal models were established using Feeney's method.Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group (Con),traumatic brain injury group (TBI),and glutamine supplementation group (TBI+Gln).We measured rat behavioral outcomes by modified neurologic severity score (mNSS) tests at day 1,3,7 and 14 after TBI.Apoptotic neurons were determined by Nissl staining.The microglia polarization relatived protein (Iba-1,CD16,CD86) expressions in TBI cerebral cortices were determined by immunohistochemistry staining and western blotting,respectively.While,the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin (IL)-1 and interferon (IFN)-γ were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).Results Compared with the Con group,the levels of neurobehavioral outcome,neurons apoptosis,microglia polarization and neuroinflammatory factors were significantly increased in the other two groups (P=0.00).Compared with the TBl group,glutamin supplementation improvedneurobehavioral outcome [7 d:(10.74±0.25) points vs.(8.94±0.24) points,P=0.01;14 d:(8.77± 0.16) points vs.(7.43±0.13) points,P=0.03].Meanwhile,glutamin supplementation suppressed the apoptotic rates of neurons [3d:(80.18±8.38)％ vs.(65.47±7.02)％,P=0.01;7 d:(58.90±6.12)％ vs.(42.73±4.88)％,P=0.01;14d:(39.56±2.95)％vs.(31.12±3.16)％,P=0.01],inhibited protein expressions of Iba-1 and CD16,and increased the protein expression of CD86,which promoted the phenotypic shift of microglia from M1 to M2 phenotype,inhibited microglial activation,and thus reduced TBI-induced neuroinflammatory factors [TNF-α:(125.42 ± 12.81) pg/ml vs.(74.36 ± 9.25) pg/ml,P =0.01;IL-1:(69.04±8.48) pg/ml vs.(34.73±3.92) pg/ml,P=0.01;TNF-α:(89.75±9.40) pg/ml vs.(45.62±6.64) pg/ml,P=0.02].Conclusion Glutamine supplementation can markedly reduce neuron apoptosis and improve neurological outcomes after TBI,possibly mediated by promoting the phenotypic shift of microglia from M1 to M2 phenotype and thus reducing TBI-induced neuroinflammatory factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between contactin (CNTN)-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C expression levels and the recurrence,metastasis and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients after liver transplantation.Methods Clinical data and pathological specimen of 105 patients diagnosed with primary HCC undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation were collected.The expression levels of CNTN-1 and VEGF-C in the cancerous and para-cancerous liver tissues were quantitatively measured by immunohistochemical staining.The relationship between the CNTN-1 and VEGF-C expression levels and clinicopathological characteristics,postoperative recurrence,metastasis and prognosis was statistically analyzed.Results The high expression rate of CNTN-1 and VEGF-C in liver cancerous tissues was 46.7％ and 39.0％,significantly higher compared with 11.4％ and 19.0％ in the para-cancerous tissues (both P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis revealed that the expression level of CNTN-1 was positively correlated with that of VEGF-C (P＜0.005).X2 test demonstrated that the expression of CNTN-1 protein was positively correlated with the level of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) (P=0.017),tumor,node,metastasis (TNM) staging(all P＜0.001),and negatively correlated with the degree of differentiation (P＜0.001).High expression of VEGF-C was positively correlated with TNM staging (P＜0.001).Cox multivariate analysis revealed that overall survival rate was significantly correlated with gender,AFP,degree of tumor differentiation,microvascular invasion,tumor diameter and high expression of CNTN-1 (P＜0.05-0.001).The recurrence-free survival was correlated with TNM staging,envelope integrity and high CNTN-1 expression (P＜0.05-0.001).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that postoperative overall survival curve and recurrence-free survival curve significantly differed between patients with high and low expression levels of CNTN-1 (both P＜0.01).Recurrence-free survival curve significantly differed between patients with high and low expression levels of VEGF-C (P=0.005).Conclusions CNTN-1 protein is highly expressed in HCC tissues and correlated with the expression of VEGF-C.It is associated with postoperative recurrence and metastasis of HCC after liver transplantation and affects the clinical prognosis of patients.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To observe the influence of gold nanoparticles combined with Endostar (AuNPs-Endostar) on the melanoma lung metastasis of mice and the underlying mechanism.METHODS: C57BL/6 mice (n=24) were selected for constructing the model of spontaneous lung metastasis of melanoma B16-F10 cells.Subsequently, the mice were randomly divided into Endostar group, AuNPs group, AuNPs-Endostar group and model group.After the formation of melanoma, the mice in each group were injected with different drugs through tail vein for 0.1 mL daily.After 9 d, the mice were narcotized for cutting the tumors in situ.After the operation, they were raised for 2 weeks before killed for obtaining the lung tissues to observe the situation of the metastasis.HE staining was utilized for observing the necrosis status of the tumors in situ, while immunostaining was applied for testing the expression of CD31, carbonic anhydrase-IX (CA-IX), vimentin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in the tumors.RESULTS: Compared with model group, the pulmonary metastasis in the groups with medical treatment was obviously reduced.In AuNPs-Endostar group, the metastasis inhibition rate was the highest, and the tumor necrosis was also decreased obviously, with the significant reduction of CD31, CA-IX and vimentin expression in the tumors and significant increase in ZO-1 expression.CONCLUSION: Compared with using Endostar or AuNPs alone, the combination of AuNPs with Endostar significantly improves the curative effect of inhibiting the pulmonary metastasis of melanoma in the mice.The mechanism may be related to reducing the tumor angiogenesis, norma-lizing the blood vessels and improving tumor hypoxia, thus inhibiting the tumor epithelial-mesenchymal transition, increasing the tight junctions between tumor cells and decreasing the invasiveness.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate whether Ki-67 and DNA topoisomerase Ⅱ α (Topo Ⅱ α) are effective prognostic markers in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation.Methods This retrospective cohort study included 105 patients with HCC who underwent liver transplantation in a single center from 2001 to 2012.The demographic features,clinicopathological data,expressions of Topo I c and Ki-67 as detected by immunohistochemistry.The long-term survival and the potential prognostic factors,together with standard histologic parameters,were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses.Results A positive correlation was found between Topo II α and Ki-67 levels in HCC (r ＝ 0.469,P ＜ 0.01).Multivariate analyses showed that Ki-67 was an independent prognostic risk factor of recurrencefree survival (HR ＝ 2.296,P ＜ 0.05).The 5-year overall survival rate was related to tumor size (HR ＝ 1.743,P ＜ 0.05),AFP (HR ＝ 2.291,P ＜ 0.05),histological grade (HR ＝ 0.283,P ＜ 0.01),and high expressions of Ki-67 (HR ＝ 1.977,P ＜ 0.05) and Topo Ⅱ α levels (HR ＝ 1.883,P ＜ 0.05).The KaplanMeier analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate (40.4％ vs.57.6％) between patients with high and low expressions of Ki-67,which were significantly lower in the high Topo Ⅱ α expression patients (13.5％ vs.63.8％) (P ＜0.01).The 5-year overall survival rates were significantly lower in the high Ki-67 expression patients (12.7％ vs.61.1％,P ＜0.01) when compared with the low Ki-67 expression patients,which were significantly lower in the high Topo Ⅱ α-and Ki-67 expression patients (10.7％ vs.54.5％,P ＜0.01) than the low Topo Ⅱ α-or Ki-67 patients.Conclusions Ki-67 was associated with recurrence and metastasis in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma after liver transplantation.High expression of both Ki-67 and Topo Ⅱ α were associated with poor prognosis in these patients.
ABSTRACT
Tinnitus is a common clinical symptom and its occurrence rate is high. It seriously affects life quality of the patients. Scientific researches show that listening some similar and none-repetitive music can relieve tinnitus to some extent. The overall music accorded with self-similarity character by the direct mapping method based on chaos. However, there were often the same tones continuous repeating a few times and tone mutations. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a new method for tinnitus rehabilitation sound synthesis based on pentatonic scale, chaos and musical instrument digital interface (MIDI). Experimental results showed that the tinnitus rehabilitation sounds were not only self-similar and incompletely reduplicate, but also no sudden changes. Thus, it has a referential significance for tinnitus treatment.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of cryosurgery in the preoperative preparation of liver transplantation in treating liver cancer.Method This study reviewed retrospectively clinical data from 74 patients who underwent cryosurgery of liver cancer before liver transplantation.According to the differences between transplantation programs,74 patients were divided into 2 groups:26 patients in Argon-helium cryoablation group (AHC group) and 48 patients in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization group (TACE group).Whether the patients in two groups met the standard of Milan after treatment,as well as the incidence rate of complication,waiting time for transplantation and MELD score before transplantation were compared between two groups after preoperative therapy.What's more,operation time,no liver time,amount of bleeding,PT and serum level of aminotransferase at 1st,3rd,and 5th day after transplantation were analyzed.Abdominal drainage fluid volume,the incidence of infection,acute rejection,kidney failure,biliary complication,and vascular complication in two groups were also compared.Disease free survival rate was counted after two years by outpatient follow-up.Result Only 3 cases in two groups exceeded Milan standard after treatment,one in AHC group and two in TACE group.The complication incidence and waiting time in two groups had no statistically significant differences.The MELD score in AHC group was significantly lower than in TACE group before transplantation.The operation time,amount of bleeding and transfusion requirements in AHC group were also significantly lower than in TACE group.The time without liver in two groups had no statistically significant difference.The speed of liver function recover was faster in ACH group,and the abdominal drainage fluid volume was less.There were no significant differences in incidence of postoperative complications between two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion Cryosurgery therapy has little effect on liver functions after treatment.It is a good therapy for liver cancer patients before liver transplantation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the impact of hepatic steatosis on the safety and prognosis of patients who received partial hepatectomy for liver cancer.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 338 patients who received hepatic resection for liver carcinoma.Results There were 273,44 and 21 patients who had a normal liver,mild steatosis and moderate-to-severe steatosis respectively.There was a significantly higher body mass index in the steatosis group (P ＜ 0.05).The operative time,blood loss,transfusion rate,postoperative hospital stay and ICU stay increased in patients with moderate-severe fatty liver (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Mild steatosis had little impact on partial hepatectomy.Moderate-to-severe hepatic steatosis was associated with increased blood loss and perioperative morbidity.
ABSTRACT
Tinnitus is a subjective sensation of sound without external stimulation. It has become ubiquitous and has therefore aroused much attention in recent years. According to the survey, ameliorating tinnitus based on special music and reducing pressure have good effects on the treatment of it. Meantime, vicious cycle chains between tinnitus and bad feelings have been broken. However, tinnitus therapy has been restricted by using looping music. Therefore, a method of generating fractal tones based on musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) technology and pink noise has been proposed in this paper. The experimental results showed that the fractal fragments were self-similar, incompletely reduplicate, and no sudden changes in pitches and would have a referential significance for tinnitus therapy.
