Risk factors of restenosis after dilation of anastomotic stenosis in patients with esophageal cancer surgery / 中华全科医师杂志

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of restenosis after dilation of anastomotic stenosis in patients with esophageal cancer surgery.Methods:Clinical data of 997 patients who underwent endoscopic dilation due to anastomotic stenosis after esophageal cancer radical surgery in the Affiliated Huai′an First Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2015 to July 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. There were 486 cases receiving single dilation (single dilation group) and 511 cases receiving more than two dilations (multiple dilation group). The risk factors of restenosis were explored using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:There were 682 males and 315 females with a median age of 65 years, the median distance between the stenosis and incisor was 20 (20, 22) cm, the median stenosis diameter was 4 (3, 5) mm, and the median stenosis diameter after dilation was 11 (11, 13) mm. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the distance of the stenosis and incisor ( Z=-2.303, P<0.05), stenosis diameter ( Z=-4.637, P<0.05) and stenosis diameter after dilation ( Z=-5.773, P<0.05) between single and multiple dilation groups. Stratified multivariate logistic regression showed that for male patients, risk of multiple dilations dropped by approximately 3% for every 1-mm increase in the distance between the stenosis and incisor ( OR=0.97, 95% CI:0.93-1.00, P=0.047); the risk of multiple dilations decreased by about 15%, for every 1-mm increase in stenosis diameter ( OR=0.85, 95% CI:0.76-0.94, P=0.004); the risk of multiple dilations decreased by about 13% for every 1-mm increase in stenosis diameter after dilation ( OR=0.87, 95% CI:0.78-0.96, P=0.007). For females patients under 60 years old, the risk of multiple dilations decreased by about 31%, for every 1-mm increase in stenosis diameter after dilation ( OR=0.69, 95% CI:0.47-0.98, P=0.049); for female patients≥60 years old, the risk decreased by about 5%, for every 1-year increase in age ( OR=0.95, 95% CI:0.91-1.00, P=0.037), risk of multiple dilations dropped by 17%( OR=0.83, 95% CI:0.70-0.99, P=0.039) for every 1 mm increase in stenosis diameter after dilation. Stratified smooth curve fitting indicated that the distance between the stenosis and incisor≤23 mm, stenosis diameter≤4.5 mm, stenosis diameter after dilation≤12 mm were risk factors for multiple dilations. Conclusions:The study indicates that patients with the distance between the stenosis and incisor≤23 mm, stenosis diameter≤4.5 mm, stenosis diameter after dilation≤12 mm may need multiple dilations; and the first dilation should expand the stenosis diameter to 12 mm or above as far as possible to reduce the risk of restenosis in patients receiving esophageal cancer radical surgery.

Effect of albumin to fibrinogen ratio on the prognosis of patients undergoing radical resection for colorectal cancer / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of albumin to fibrinogen ratio on the prognosis of patients undergoing radical resection for colorectal cancer.Methods:Clinical and pathological data of 216 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer at the General Surgery Department of Taizhou People's Hospital from Aug 2015 to Jul 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Albumin and fibrinogen results within 7 days before surgery was collected. The optimal cut-off point of AFR was determined by Youden index of ROC curve. Kaplan-Meier analysis, univariate and multivariate COX regression models were used to analyze the prognostic factors of OS and DFS.Results:The best postoperative OS threshold of AFR for patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer was 9.43. Univariate analysis and multivariate COX regression analysis showed that age ≤65 years, TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, and AFR≥9.43 had better OS and DFS (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative AFR level had a good predictive value on postoperative survival of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer, and AFR<9.43 was an independent risk factor for postoperative OS and DFS.

Preoperative risk factors for early extremity blood supply after repair of major arterial injury / 中华创伤骨科杂志

Objective:To investigate the preoperative risk factors affecting early extremity blood supply after repair of major arterial injury so as to provide clues for prevention of limb ischemia.Methods:The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed of the 139 patients (140 extremities) with major extremity arterial injury who had been admitted to Department of Microsurgery, Orthopaedic Trauma and Hand Surgery, The First Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University from January 2003 to December 2019. There were 112 males and 27 females, with a mean age of 30 (20, 44) years. The primary outcome was the early status of blood supply to the injured extremity (48 hours after surgery). Univariate analysis was conducted of such factors as gender, age, ischemia time, injury mechanism, injury site, fracture, soft tissue lesion, and duration of surgery. The significant factors ( P<0.1) were then analyzed by logistic regression, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Ischemia happened in 44 (31.4%, 44/140) extremities within 48 hours after surgery. There were significant differences in injury mechanism, ischemia time, fracture, and soft tissue lesion between patients with and without postoperative extremity ischemia ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that blunt injury ( OR=5.639, 95% CI: 1.068 to 29.761, P=0.042) and soft tissue lesion ( OR=12.568, 95% CI: 3.402 to 46.431, P<0.001) were significant preoperative risk factors affecting the early blood supply after repair of major extremity arterial injury. Conclusion:As blunt injury and soft tissue defect are preoperative risk factors for early extremity ischemia after repair of major extremity arterial injury, surgeons should pay more attention to them when assessing patients and making repair protocols.

Effect of exogenous miR206 on the development of denervated muscular atrophy by inhibiting the expression of myostatin of rats / 中华显微外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the effects and mechanism of miR206 in rat model of denervated muscular atrophy.Methods:From September, 2020 to December, 2020, a total of 40 rats were selected for this study. Denervated muscular atrophy model was established on 16 SPF Sprague-Dawley rats, by removing 1 cm in length of sciatic nerve. The rats were classified into 4 groups according to the sampling time: 0 d, 3 d, 7 d and 14 d(4 rats per group). The other 24 rats were also established into denervated skeletal muscle atrophy models and assigned into 3 groups: denervation add miR206 group, denervation add NC transfection reagent group, and sham-operated group( n=8 in each group). After sampling, the area of cross section of the gastrocnemius muscle and gastrocnemius muscle mass were measured to evaluate muscle atrophy. The mRNA and protein expression of myostatin were determined by real-time PCR and Western blot. Combining with luciferase report to explore the underlying mechanism of miR206, the t-test and oneway ANOVA were used for data analysis used in this study. In one-way ANOVA analysis, if the difference between groups was statistically significant, Bonferroni method would be used for further comparing of all pairs. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:After excision of a part of sciatic nerve of rat models, gastrocnemius muscle mass of denervation plus miR206 group, denervation plus NC transfection reagent group and sham-operated group were: (0.63±0.04), (0.51±0.02) and (1.05±0.02), respectively. The cross section areas of gastrocnemius muscle in each groups were: (761.30±21.79) μm 2, (640.30±30.31) μm 2 and (1066.00±51.65) μm 2, respectively( P<0.05). Myostatin mRNA expression showed lower in miR206 group than in NC group tested by Western blot, which were(0.57±0.04) in miR206 and (0.81±0.04) in NC group tested by qPCR( P<0.05). The protein expression measured by Western blot test revealed same expression pattern as mRNA expression pattern. The different of relative expression between miR206 group and NC group( P<0.05). Finally, in the mmu-miR206 co-transfected with the MSTN 3'UTR-luciferase sensor group, the relative luciferase activity was measured at 0.26±0.07 and it was significant lower than any other groups( P<0.05). Conclusion:The miR206 can counteract denervated skeletomuscular atrophy through down regulating the myostatin expression. Myostatin is a new discovered target gene of miR206.

Analysis of early complications of free gracilis muscle transfer in reconstruction of brachial plexus injury / 中华显微外科杂志

Objective:To explore the causes and preventive measures of early complications after free gracilis muscle transfer in reconstruction of brachial plexus injury, and to improve the postoperative function of the transferred gracilis muscle.Methods:Patients were recruited from August, 2005 to December, 2016. All 111 patients of brachial plexus injury underwent reconstructive surgery using 122 free gracilis flaps. Early postoperative complications, including recipient site, donor site and systemic complications, were closely observed and recorded. Outcome measurements included incidence and timing of flap compromise, type of flap compromise, causes of vascular occlusion and salvage rate. The postoperative strength of gracilis was evaluated according to the BMRC score. The data were statistically analyzed. The difference was statistically significant if P<0.05. Results:The survival rate of 122 free gracilis transfers was 98.4% (120/122). Early complications occurred in 32 cases (including 2 complications in 6 patients) : 27 cases with recipient site complications (84.4%), 4 with donor site complications and 7 with systemic complications. Among the 32 cases of complications, 17 flap compromises caused by vascular obstruction and 15 of them were salvaged completely after exploration. Flap crisis was the main issue that affected the postoperative function of gracilis muscle, and 58.8% (10/17) of patients with vascular crisis showed muscle strength above M 3 after surgery. The main causes of vascular crisis were venous tortuosity and venous thrombosis, which had nothing to do with operation time and intraoperative blood loss. Conclusion:Flap crisis is the main factor affecting the postoperative function of gracilis. The rate of flap salvage can be tremendously increased by early detection, re-exploration and effective management of the flap crisis.

Study on Inhibitory Effects of Sinomenine-loaded PLGA-TPGS Nanoparticles on the Proliferation of HCa-F Cells in Lymph Tubes and Ectopic Transplantation Tumors in Mice / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To study the inhibitory effects of sinomenine(SIN)-loaded polylactic-co-glycolic acid-D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate(PLGA-TPGS)nanoparticles(SPTN)on the proliferation of HCa-F cells in lymph tubes and ec-topic transplantation tumors in mice. METHODS:HCa-F cell suspension were incubated with normal saline,5-fluorouracil(FS), sinomenine solutions (SS),sinomenine PLGA nanoparticles (SPN) and SPTN,with concentration of 80 μg/ml. The cells were marked with CFSE,and then were injected with suspension 50 μl via one footpad of mice. Inhibitory effect of above suspensions on the proliferation of HCa-F in lymph tubes of mice was observed by fluorescence inverted microscope at 3,6,9,12,24 h(n=15). Mice were divided into normal control group,blank PLGA-TPGS nanoparticles (EPTN) group,normal saline group,SPTN group,SPN group,SS group and FS group with 10 mice in each group. The latter 5 groups were injected with relevant medicine 15 mg/kg,once a day,via tail vein for consecutive 10 days after the model of HCa-F cells-bearing ectopic transplantation tumor mice was established. The serum content of ALT,AST,γ-glutamyltransferase(γ-GT),ALB and T-BIL were determined;solid tu-mors were taken,measured and weighed,and the inhibitory rate of tumor was also calculated. RESULTS:The inhibitory effect of above solution on the proliferation of HCa-F cells in descending order was as follows:SPTN>SPN>FS>SS>normal saline. Com-pared with normal saline group,the serum levels of ALT,AST,γ-GT and TBIL of SPTN group,SPN group,SS group and FS group decreased,while ALB level increased(P<0.05);the amount of tumor volume increase and tumor weight in SPTN group, SPN group and FS group decreased significantly (P<0.05). The inhibitory rate of tumor in 3 groups were 49.62%,40.53% and 33.90%. CONCLUSIONS:SPTN can inhibit the proliferation of HCa-F cells in lymph tubes of mice,and can improve HCa-F cells-bearing ectopic transplantation tumor in mice. It is better than SPN and FS.

Association of serum uric acid with body mass index: a cross- sectional study from Jiangsu Province, China

Body mass index [BMI] has been demonstrated to be associated with serum uric acid [SUA] level in many developed countries, however, there is still a lack of large sample study in Jiangsu Province, one of the most economically developed regions in China, where fat-rich diet is common. Through retrospective analysis in healthy subjects, we determined the association of BMI with hyperuricemia risk. Data of 39,736 participants from January 2011 to June 2013 in China were analyzed for parameters including physical examinations and biochemical blood analysis. On univariate analysis, SUA was positively correlated with age, SBP, DBP, BMI, FPG, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, platelet, cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, ALT, AST, bilirubin, albumin, BUN and creatinine. SUA was significantly elevated in a linear fashion as BMI increased, and SUA in obesity was significantly higher than underweight. The prevalence of hyperuricemia remained approximately 2.98 times greater among individuals with overweight, and 5.96 times greater among obesity, compared to individuals with underweight.

Objective To assess the effect of intraarterial washout with UW solution and tanshinone Ⅱ A for skeletal muscle preservation during ischemia and reperfusion.Methods Ischemic rat limbs were perfused with UW solution or UW solution plus tanshinone Ⅱ A (0.05,0.1 and 0.2 mg/ml) for 0.5 h before reperfusion; controls received no perfusion.Serum CPK,LDH,and AST were measured pre-ischemia and after reperfusion (2 h,4 h,and 6 h).Muscle water content,MDA,SOD,ATPase were assessed pre-reperfusion and after 6 h reperfusion.ICAM-1 was detected after 6 h reperfusion.Results Intraarterial washout with UW and UW + T could inhibit the express of ICAM-1 in skeletal muscle.The serum levels of CPK,AST,and LDH in UW group were significant lower than those in control group after 2 h of reperfusion,but no difference was observed between UW group and control group after 4 h and 6 h of reperfusion.After 4 h of ischemia,there were significant differences in water content,MDA,SOD,and ATPase in skeletal muscle between UW group and control group,but no difference was found after 6 h of reperfusion.In contrast,all parameters of laboratory test and biochemical analyzing in UW + T(0.05,0.10,and 0.20 mg/ml) groups were significantly different from those in control group at corresponding reperfusion period.Conclusion Intraarterial washout with UW solution is effective in preserving skeletal muscle integrity against I/R insult.Tanshinone Ⅱ A as a beneficial adjunct to UW solution improves the protective effect of UW solution for ischemic skeletal muscle.To better preserve ischemic skeletal muscle,an appropriate dose of tanshinone Ⅱ A (0.1 or 0.2 mg/ml)added to UW solution is required.

The value of MRI in the diagnosis of brachial plexus birth palsy / 中华显微外科杂志

ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of MR imaging(MRI)in diagosing of obstetrical brachial plexus.MethodsBetween September 2006 to September 2011,eighteen cases (12 males and 6 females)of obstetrical brachial plexus injury had being used for investigation,aging from 2 month to 3 years, average of 10.6 month. Eight left side and 10 right side. Tassin Ⅰ was 4 cases,Tassin Ⅱ was 6 eases, Tassin Ⅲwas 5 eases, Tassin Ⅳ was 4 cases. All cases were performed to MRI test before operating and the result compare with finding during operating. ResultsFindings of MRI:pseudomeningocele was in 13 of the 18cases while 10 of the 15 patients had multiple pseudomeningoceles. Displacement of spinal cord was in 6 cases; Normal was 2 cases; thickening of nerve root was in 2 cases.ConclusionMR imaging is an effective tool for demonstrating lesions of the brachial plexus worthy of surgical exploration.
