Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of domestically produced magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) for gastroesophageal reflux disease. Method: This study is a prospective cohort study. Patients with typical heartburn and reflux symptoms (at least partial response to proton pump inhibitors), abnormal esophageal acid exposure and normal esophageal peristalsis were included, prospectively in the Department of Gastroesophageal Surgery, Rocket Force Characteristic Medical Center from June 2019 to September 2022. Patients with hiatal hernia >2 cm and severe esophagitis were excluded. The MSA was wrapped around the distal esophagus after esophageal hiatus repair by laparoscopy. A postoperative questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the relief of symptom, complications, the discontinuation rate of proton pump inhibitor, and surgical satisfaction. Gastroscopy, high-resolution esophageal pressure measurement, and pH value impedance monitoring were also reviewed. Result: Currently, 23 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease were enrolled and underwent MSA surgery. There were 20 males and 3 females, aged (M (IQR)) 48 (14) years (range: 25 to 64 years). All cases were successfully implanted with MSA. Subjective indicators were followed for 17 (18) months (range: 14 to 53 months), while objective indicators were followed for 17 (1) months (range: 12 to 23 months). The postoperative gastrointestinal and extraesophageal symptom scores showed a significant decrease compared to preoperative levels as follows: the degree of subjective relief of overall digestive symptoms was 90 (20)% (range:0~100%), the degree of subjective relief of overall respiratory symptoms was 100(10)% (range: 10%~100%), the overall satisfaction rate was 83% (19/23), the proton pump inhibitor discontinuation rate was 70% (16/23). The proportion of esophagitis has decreased from 44% (10/23) to 9% (2/23) (κ=0.169, P=0.039), The Hill grade of gastroesophageal valve morphology improved from 1 case of grade Ⅰ, 5 cases of grade Ⅱ, 10 cases of grade Ⅲ, and 7 cases of grade Ⅲ preoperative to 22, 1, 0, and 0 cases postoperative. The proportion of lower esophageal sphincter pressure below normal has decreased from 70% (16/23) to 35% (8/23) (κ=0.170, P=0.012). There were 21 patients who restored normal esophageal acid exposure. Eleven patients had mild long-term dysphagia, but it didn't affect their daily life. No postoperative device migration, erosion, or secondary surgical removal occurred. Conclusions: Laparoscopic implantation of the MSA device was safe and well tolerated. It can effectively control the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, reduce medication, restore normal cardia morphology and function, and esophageal acid exposure. The main postoperative complication was dysphagia, but it was relatively mild.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux-related cough (GERC) is an extra-esophageal manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and a common cause of chronic cough. GERC is the most difficult of the chronic cough to diagnose and treat because of its lack of specificity and its multidisciplinary nature. In recent years, research into GERC has led to a consensus on many key issues. The 2021 edition of the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cough (Cough guidelines) provides important guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of GERC. However, the surgical treatment of GERC is not well covered in the Cough guidelines. This article summarizes the surgical treatment of GERC in terms of surgical methods, current situation, indications for operation and curative effects.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of local injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with double-layer artificial dermis in treating wounds with exposed tendon on extremity. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From December 2017 to October 2022, 16 patients were admitted to Department of Orthopaedic Trauma of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and 32 patients were admitted to Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of Guiyang Steel Factory Staff Hospital. All the patients had wounds with exposed tendon on extremity caused by various reasons and met the inclusion criteria. There were 39 males and 9 females, aged 26 to 58 years. The patients were divided into PRP alone group, artificial dermis alone group, and PRP+artificial dermis group, with 16 patients in each group. The wounds were treated with autologous PRP, double-layer artificial dermis, or thei combination of autologous PRP and double-layer artificial dermis, followed by autologous split-thickness scalp grafting after good growth of granulation tissue. On the 7th day after the secondary surgery, the autograft survival was observed, and the survival rate was calculated. The wound healing time and length of hospital stay of patients were recorded. At 3 and 6 months after wound healing, the Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to score the pigmentation, height, vascularity, and pliability of scars, and the total score was calculated. Adverse reactions during the entire treatment process were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test, Fisher's exact probability test, one-way analysis of variance, least significant difference test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Nemenyi test, and Bonferroni correction. Results: On the 7th day after the secondary surgery, there was no statistically significant difference in the autograft survival rate of patients among PRP alone group, artificial dermis alone group, and PRP+artificial dermis group (P>0.05). The wound healing time and length of hospital stay of patients in PRP+artificial dermis group were (20.1±3.0) and (24±4) d, respectively, which were significantly shorter than (24.4±5.5) and (30±8) d in PRP alone group (P<0.05) and (24.8±4.9) and (32±8) d in artificial dermis alone group (P<0.05). At 3 and 6 months after wound healing, the pliability scores of patients in PRP+artificial dermis group were significantly lower than those in PRP alone group (with Z values of 12.91 and 15.69, respectively, P<0.05) and artificial dermis alone group (with Z values of 12.50 and 12.91, respectively, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in pigmentation, vascularity, height scores, and total score of scar of patients among the three groups (P>0.05). In artificial dermis alone group, one patient experienced partial liquefaction and detachment of the double-layer artificial dermis due to local infection of Staphylococcus epidermidis, which received wound dressing change, second artificial dermis transplantation, and subsequent treatment as before. No adverse reactions occurred in the remaining patients during the whole treatment process. Conclusions: Local injection of PRP combined with double-layer artificial dermis is effective in treating wounds with exposed tendon on extremity, which can not only significantly shorten wound healing time and length of hospital stay, but also improve scar pliability after wound healing to some extent in the long term. It is a clinically valuable treatment technique that is worth promoting and applying.

Abstract
Sympathetic stress is prevalent in cardiovascular diseases. Sympathetic overactivation under strong acute stresses triggers acute cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction (MI), sudden cardiac death, and stress cardiomyopathy. α1-ARs and β-ARs, two dominant subtypes of adrenergic receptors in the heart, play a significant role in the physiological and pathologic regulation of these processes. However, little is known about the functional similarities and differences between α1- and β-ARs activated temporal responses in stress-induced cardiac pathology. In this work, we systematically compared the cardiac temporal genome-wide profiles of acute α1-AR and β-AR activation in the mice model by integrating transcriptome and proteome. We found that α1- and β-AR activations induced sustained and transient inflammatory gene expression, respectively. Particularly, the overactivation of α1-AR but not β-AR led to neutrophil infiltration at one day, which was closely associated with the up-regulation of chemokines, activation of NF-κB pathway, and sustained inflammatory response. Furthermore, there are more metabolic disorders under α1-AR overactivation compared with β-AR overactivation. These findings provide a new therapeutic strategy that, besides using β-blocker as soon as possible, blocking α1-AR within one day should also be considered in the treatment of acute stress-associated cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risk and influencing factors of long-term mortality of valvular heart disease (VHD) adults aged 35 years and over in Chinese communities. Methods: A cohort study was carried out. The data of the subjects who underwent echocardiography were collected from the Chinese Hypertension Survey between 2012 and 2015 and survival outcomes were followed up between 2018 and 2019. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted and compared using log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the influence of VHD on mortality. Results: During an average follow-up time of (4.6±0.9) years, a total of 23 237 participants (10 881 males and 12 356 females) were pooled into the final analysis from 5 eastern, 5 central, and 4 western provinces, cities and autonomous regions in China, with a mean age of (56.9±13.2) years. Among the included participants, 1 004 had VHD (467 males and 537 females), with a mean age was of (68.1±12.6) years. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, participants with VHD had a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality (log-rank χ2=351.82, P<0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (log-rank χ2=284.14, P<0.001) compared with those without VHD. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that compared with those without VHD, the participants with rheumatic VHD had a 45% increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR=1.45, 95%CI: 1.12-1.89) and degenerative VHD increased the risk of cardiovascular mortality by 69% (HR=1.69, 95%CI: 1.19-2.38). The risk factors of cardiovascular mortality for VHD were age 55 years and over (55-<75 years: HR=4.93, 95%CI: 1.17-20.85;≥75 years: HR=11.92, 95%CI: 2.85-49.80) and diabetes mellitus (HR=1.71, 95%CI: 1.00-2.93). Conclusions: VHD is a risk factor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality among adults aged 35 years and over. Age 55 years and over and diabetes mellitus are adverse prognostic factors for patients with VHD.

Abstract
Upon chronic stress, β-adrenergic receptor activation induces cardiac fibrosis and leads to heart failure. The small molecule compound IMM-H007 has demonstrated protective effects in cardiovascular diseases via activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This study aimed to investigate IMM-H007 effects on cardiac fibrosis induced by β-adrenergic receptor activation. Because adenosine analogs also exert AMPK-independent effects, we assessed AMPK-dependent and -independent IMM-H007 effects in murine models of cardiac fibrosis. Continual subcutaneous injection of isoprenaline for 7 days caused cardiac fibrosis and cardiac dysfunction in mice in vivo. IMM-H007 attenuated isoprenaline-induced cardiac fibrosis, diastolic dysfunction, α-smooth muscle actin expression, and collagen I deposition in both wild-type and AMPKα2-/- mice. Moreover, IMM-H007 inhibited transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) expression in wild-type, but not AMPKα2-/- mice. By contrast, IMM-H007 inhibited Smad2/3 signaling downstream of TGFβ1 in both wild-type and AMPKα2-/- mice. Surface plasmon resonance and molecular docking experiments showed that IMM-H007 directly interacts with TGFβ1, inhibits its binding to TGFβ type II receptors, and downregulates the Smad2/3 signaling pathway downstream of TGFβ1. These findings suggest that IMM-H007 inhibits isoprenaline-induced cardiac fibrosis via both AMPKα2-dependent and -independent mechanisms. IMM-H007 may be useful as a novel TGFβ1 antagonist.

Abstract
Hydrofluoric acid is a highly dangerous and toxic inorganic acid, which is widely used in industrial fields and daily life. The risk of hydrofluoric acid burns is related to hydrofluoric acid mass fraction, duration of exposure to hydrofluoric acid, burn area, burn depth, and burn site, etc. Hydrofluoric acid has strong toxicity and tissue penetration ability. A small area of hydrofluoric acid burns can cause death in a short time. Therefore, improving the understanding of the mechanism of hydrofluoric acid burns and learning how to treat hydrofluoric acid burns in different sites can further improve the cure rate of hydrofluoric acid burns.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanism of oxaliplatin-induced chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathic pain (CIPNP). Methods: A total of 16 male Sprague-Dawley rats of specific pathogen-free grade were randomly divided into two groups: oxaliplatin experimental group (2.4 mg/kg oxaliplatin dissolved in 5.0% glucose solution, n=8) and control group (equal volume 5% glucose solution, n=8). The rat model of CIPNP was established by continuous administration with oxaliplatin. In addition, mechanical allodynia, thermal hyperalgesia and cold hyperalgesia were measured and compared between the two groups. To explore the molecular mechanism of oxaliplatin-induced CIPNP, the gene expression of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) from the rat model of CIPNP was analyzed using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Results: Mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity was exhibited on day 7 and a stronger hypersensitivity was observed on day 14. A total of 20 152 genes were quantified by RNA-Seq, and 379 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained with absolute fold change cut-offs ≥ 2 and P value<0.05. There were 7 genes (Npy, Car3, Cdkn1a, Nts, Prc1, Ms4a7 and Ecel1) that were involved in peripheral nerve injury-related neuropathic pain. Gene ontology (GO) functional enrichment analyses indicated that the DEGs induced by oxaliplatin were involved in oxygen transport, cell division, intermediate, centromere, oxygen transporter activity, oxygen binding. Moreover, the result of Kyoto Encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analyses highlighted that the DEGs induced by oxaliplatin were involved in malaria, African trypanosomiasis, primary immunodeficiency, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway. Conclusion: Oxaliplatin induces CIPNP via pain-related genes and signaling pathways.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to design and fabricate a three-dimensional (3D) printed artificial ovary. METHODS We first compared the printability of gelatin-methacryloyl (GelMA), alginate and GelMA-alginate bioinks, of which GelMA was selected for further investigation. The swelling properties, degradation kinetics and shape fidelity of GelMA scaffolds were characterized by equilibrium swelling/lyophilization, collagenase processing and micro-computed tomography evaluation. Commercial ovarian tumor cell lines (COV434, KGN, ID8) and primary culture ovarian somatic cells were utilized to perform cell-laden 3D printing, and the results were evaluated by live/dead assays and TUNEL detection. Murine ovarian follicles were seeded in the ovarian scaffold and their diameters were recorded every day. Finally, in vitro maturation was performed, and the ovulated oocytes were collected and observed. RESULTS Our results indicated that GelMA was suitable for 3D printing fabrication. Its scaffolds performed well in terms of hygroscopicity, degradation kinetics and shape fidelity. The viability of ovarian somatic cells was lower than that of commercial cell lines, suggesting that extrusion-based 3D culture fabrication is not suitable for primary ovarian cells. Nevertheless, the GelMA-based 3D printing system provided an appropriate microenvironment for ovarian follicles, which successfully grew and ovulated in the scaffolds. Metaphase II oocytes were also observed after in vitro maturation. CONCLUSIONS The GelMA-based 3D printing culture system is a viable alternative option for follicular growth, development and transfer. Accordingly, it shows promise for clinical application in the treatment of female endocrine and reproductive conditions.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of a novel laparoscopic W-H fundoplication in the treatment of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) dependent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Methods: The clinical data of PPI dependent GERD patients who underwent laparoscopic W-H fundoplication in PLA Rocket Force Characteristic Medical Center from October 1st, 2018 to April 30th, 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The GERD symptom score, subjective symptom relief, PPI withdrawal, efficacy satisfaction and postoperative complications were followed up and analyzed by a questionnaire. Results: A total of 80 GERD patients were included in this study, and 49 were male and 31 were female, with a median age of 58 years. Among all patients, 85% (68/80) are with esophagitis and 77.5% (62/80) with hiatal hernia. The operation time was 67 (52, 73) minutes, without intraoperative complications and conversion to laparotomy. The postoperative follow-up period was 16 (14, 18) months. The postoperative GERD symptom scores were significantly lower than those before surgery, with an statistical difference (all P<0.05). The subjective remission degree of the overall digestive and respiratory symptoms were 100 (90, 100)% and 100 (80, 100)%, respectively. During the follow-up period, the PPI discontinuation rate was 83% (69/80), and the satisfactory rate was 93% (75/80). Postoperative complications included dysphagia, flatulence, increased exhaust and diarrhea, and the incidence was 61% (49/80), 8% (6/80), 5% (4/80) and 4% (3/80), respectively, and 16% (13/80) of the patients had prolonged occasional mild dysphagia. There was no death, symptomatic recurrence or reoperation. Conclusions: The novel W-H fundoplication has a good medium-term efficacy, with significant GERD symptom control rate and PPI discontinuation rate. The postoperative dysphagia is common, but it is self-limiting and does not affect the satisfaction of the surgical effect.

Abstract
Objective: To analysis the income and expenditure of HIV-positive pregnant women and the catastrophic health expenditure of their households in high AIDS endemic areas in Liangshan prefecture. Methods: From December 2018 to January 2019, a total of 250 pregnant women were recruited from 2 of 17 counties in Liangshan Prefecture, including 133 HIV-positive pregnant women and 117 HIV-negative pregnant women. The data, including basic information of pregnant women, basic information of the family, annual family income in 2017, annual family health expenditure in 2017, and maternal and child-related expenditure in 2017, were collected for analyzing the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure in the family. Results: The average annual income and average annual health expenditure of HIV-positive pregnant women households were 7 000 CNY and 2 000 CNY, while those of HIV-negative pregnant women households were 10 000 CNY and 3 000 CNY, respectively. Based on the criteria of 15%, 25% and 40%, the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure of HIV-positive pregnant households was 39.10%, 33.83% and 27.82%, with average differences of 34.84%, 31.17% and 26.65%, respectively, while that of HIV-negative pregnant women households was 38.46%, 33.33% and 23.93%, with average differences of 31.68%, 28.35% and 24.22%, respectively. Conclusion: The incidence of catastrophic health expenditure of pregnant households in high AIDS endemic areas in Liangshan prefecture is high. The incidence of HIV-positive families is slightly higher than that of HIV-negative families. We suggest that medical insurance compensation in Liangshan prefecture should be improved to reduce the impact of catastrophic health expenditure.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of dietary taurine supplementation on growth performance, antioxidant status, and lipid metabolism in broilers, 384 male broilers (Arbor Acres, 1 D of age) were randomly allocated into 4 groups with 8 replicates of 8 birds. Dietary treatments were supplemented with taurine at the level of 0.00, 2.50, 5.00, and 7.50 g/kg of the diet (denoted as CON, TAU1, TAU2, TAU3, respectively). The BW gain from 1 to 21 D and from 22 to 42 D were all increased linearly (linear, P < 0.001) by taurine supplementation. Throughout the trial period, the highest BW gain and favorable gain-to-feed ratio were observed in the TAU2 group. Taurine supplementation increased the antioxidant enzyme activities and decreased (linear, P < 0.001) the content of malondialdehyde in both serum and the liver of broilers and alleviated oxidative damage through enhancing (P < 0.05) the hepatic genes expression of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Correspondingly, in serum, the activities of hepatic lipase and total lipase were decreased linearly and quadratically (linear and quadratic, P < 0.001) with the increasing inclusion of taurine in the diet. Meanwhile, in serum, the content of triglycerides was significantly decreased (P < 0.05), and except for TAU3, the total cholesterol content was also significantly decreased (P < 0.05) by taurine supplementation. In addition, the hepatic content of triglycerides was significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in the TAU1 and TAU2 groups. Compared with the CON group, the hepatic genes expression of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase alpha (AMPKα), silent 1, (SIRT1) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT-1) were all increased (P < 0.05), and sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) expression was decreased (P < 0.05) in the TAU2 group. These results indicated that taurine supplementation improved the growth performance, antioxidant capacity, and lipid metabolism of broilers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The false positive rate of the PPI test for the diagnosis of typical symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is extremely high. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the effect of the pepsin test on GERD and laparoscopy-assisted anti-reflux surgery for GERD. METHODS A total of 30 GERD patients were enrolled into this study, and the pre-diagnosis of GERD was determined by symptom evaluation, impedance-pH examination, gastroscopy and pepsin test. All patients underwent surgery. RESULTS Among the 30 GERD patients, 18 patients were male and 12 were female, and their average age was 58.2 + 12.6 years old. The patients were treated with laparoscopic fundoplication and hiatus hernia repair after preoperative assessment. A total of 28 patients were followed up, one patient developed recurrent symptoms, and one patient developed postoperative dysphagia and received non-operative treatment. Furthermore, the symptom scores were significantly lower at postoperative pepsin detection when compared to the scores before the operation (pepsin: preoperative: 148.8 ± 82.6, postoperative: 30.7 ± 24.6; t= 4.848, P= 0.000). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic fundoplication and hiatus hernia repair may effectively control the symptoms of GERD. Furthermore, the detection of pepsin is non-invasive and easy to operate.

Abstract
Background/Aims To determine the value of salivary pepsin in discriminating sub-types of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and GERD-related disorders. Methods Overall, 322 patients with different sub-types of GERD and 45 healthy controls (HC) were studied. All patients took Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GerdQ) and underwent endoscopy and 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring and manometry. Salivary pepsin concentration (SPC) was detected by using colloidal gold double-antibody immunological sandwich assay. Oral esomeprazole treatment was administrated in the patients with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) and extra-esophageal symptoms (EES). Results Compared to HC, patients with erosive esophagitis, NERD, EES, EES plus typical GERD symptoms, or Barrett’s esophagus had a higher prevalence of saliva and SPC (all P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the positive rate for pepsin in patients with functional heartburn or GERD with anxiety and depression, compared to HC. After esomeprazole treatment, the positive rate and SPC were significantly reduced in NERD (both P < 0.001) and in EES (P = 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively). Of the 64 NERD patients, 71.9% (n = 46) were positive for salivary pepsin, which was significantly higher than the rate (43.8%, n = 28) of pathological acid reflux as detected by 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring (P = 0.002). Conclusions Salivary pepsin has an important significance for the diagnosis of GERD and GERD-related disorders. Salivary pepsin and 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring may complement with each other to improve the diagnostic efficiency.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the relationship between the severity of esophageal acid reflux and esophageal motility, esophageal mucosal injury and morphological anatomy of gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Methods: The clinicaldata of GERD patients who underwent 24 h pH-impedance monitoring, gastroscopy and high-resolution manometry (HRM) from January 2016 to January 2019 in the Gastroesophageal Surgery Department of PLA Rocket Force Characteristic Medical Center were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into non-pathological acid reflux group, mild pathological acid reflux group and moderate to severe pathological acid reflux group according to the DeMeester score. The gender and age of each group were matched, with 60 cases in each group. Statistical analysiswas performed to analyze thedifferences in upper esophageal sphincter pressure, lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LES), LES length, length of ventral LES, percentage of ineffective swallowing, esophagitis, Hill grade of GEJ, and hiatus hernia (HH) in each group. The comparison and correlation analysis are also carried out between the groups. Results: The male-female ratio was 33/27, and the age was (57±13) years in each group. Non-parametric analysis showed that the LES pressure and the length of the ventral LES decreased with the severity of acid reflux, and there was a statistical difference (P= 0.033, P=0.015). The detection rate of HH by HRM increased significantly (χ(2)=0.001) as well. Esophagitis score increased with the severity of acid reflux and there was statistical difference (P<0.001).The detection rate of esophagitis increased significantly (χ(2)<0.001) as well. Hill grading score of GEJ increased with the severity of acid reflux, and there was statistical difference (P<0.001).The detection rate of HH by endoscopy increased significantly (χ(2)<0.001) as well. The correlation between DeMeester score and LES pressure, length of ventral LES, percentage of ineffective swallowing, esophagitis score, and Hill grade score were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions: The esophageal low motility (such as low LES pressure) and anatomical abnormalities (abdominal esophageal shortening, GEJ flabbiness, and even HH formation) of the GEJ regionare significantly associated with the severity of acid reflux. These factors may be important causes of increased acid reflux. In addition, the aggravation of acid reflux can also increase the incidence and severity of esophagitis.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between liver controlled attenuation parameters (CAP) and body fat mass and its distribution. Methods: From May to December 2018, 978 adult patients visited at the fatty liver center of the Third People's Hospital of Changzhou were treated. The patient's liver controlled attenuation parameters were measured by transient elastography and the body fat mass and its distribution were measured by bioelectrical impedance technology. Pearson's correlation coefficient was adopted to describe the correlation between liver CAP value and body mass index (BMI), body fat mass index (BFMI), trunk fat mass index (TFMI), limbs fat mass index (LFMI) and visceral fat area (VFA). Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate BMI, BFMI, TFMI, LFMI and VFA to differentiate the cut-off points and efficacy of CAP for diagnosing grading of fatty liver changes in S0-1 and S2-3. Results: In 653 cases of male, S0 ~ S3 accounted for 4.90%, 3.37%, 22.36% and 69.37%, respectively, and in 325 cases of females, S0 ~ S3 accounted for 7.38%, 6.46%, 13.23% and 72.92%, respectively. Female patients had more visceral, trunk and limbs fat than male (P < 0.01). Body mass, body fat mass, body fat percentage, BMI, BFMI, TFMI, LFMI, and VFA were increased in male and female patients with increasing liver fat grade (P < 0.01). CAP values of male and female patients were positively correlated with BMI, BFMI, TFMI, LFMI and VFA. Percentage of body fat mass increased with increasing liver fat grade (male: F = 13.42, P < 0.001; female: F = 3.22, P = 0.023); while limb fat mass percentage did not increase with liver fat grade (Male: F = 1.13, P = 0.34; female: F = 1.05, P = 0.37). Hepatic steatosis grading (S0 ~ 1 or S2 ~ 3) diagnosed with CAP were distinguished through BMI, BFMI, TFMI, LFMI and VFA. AUC was 0.80 ~ 0.82 in males (P < 0.01), and 0.75 ~ 0.78 in females (P < 0.01). Conclusion: The liver CAP value is positively correlated with the body's limbs, trunk and visceral fat, and has a strong correlation with trunk and visceral fat. BMI, BFMI, TFMI, LFMI and VFA up to some extent can identify the CAP diagnosis of grading of fatty liver changes in S0-1 and S2-3.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the incidence of intraoperative vascular injury (IVI) and associated anatomical features during laparoscopy - assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer. Methods: A descriptive cohort study was performed. Clinical data and operational videos of 278 consecutive gastric cancer patients who underwent LADG with D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer at Department of General Surgery of Nanfang Hospital between January 2010 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. IVI and vascular anatomy during lymphadenectomy were observed and recorded in the following four scenes: scene I: No. 4sb and No.4d of lower left (tail of pancreas) area; scene II: No.6 of lower right (subpyloric) area; scene III: No.5 and No.12a of upper right (suprapyloric) area; scene IV: No. 7, No. 8a, No. 9, No. 11p of central area posterior to the gastric body. IVI was defined as the injury of main perigastric vessel requiring additional procedure for hemostasis such as electrocauterization, gauze compression, clipping or suture. Results: Among 278 patients, 125 (45.0%) had IVI. Two cases of IVI required conversion to open operation and the injuried vascular was left gastric artery (LGA) and right gastric artery (RGA), respectively. Higher incidence of IVI was found in scene II (92/278, 33.1%) and scene IV(39/278, 14.0%). More common IVI was observed in right gastroepiploic vein (RGeV, 57/278, 20.5%) and left gastric vein (LGV, 33/278, 11.9%). The right gastroepiploic vessels were observed in all 278 patients, including 3 (1.1%) cases with 2 RGeVs, and 2 cases with 2 right gastroepiploic arteries (RGeA). RGA was observed clearly in 265 (95.3%) patients, whose ramification pattern was as follows: from proper hepatic artery (PHA, 223/265, 84.2%), from gastroduodenal artery (GDA, 16/265, 6.0%), from left hepatic artery (LHA, 12/265,4.5%), from the crossing of PHA and GDA (8/265, 3.0%), and 6 (2.3%) patients with 2 RGAs simultaneously from PHA and GDA, respectively. The most common injury of RGA (4/12) occurred in LHA. Excluding 2 cases of conversion to open surgery due to intraoperative hemorrhage, among 276 patients, LGV was observed in 270 patients (97.1%), whose drainage pattern was as follows: into the portal vein (PV, 148/270, 54.8%), into the spleen vein (SV, 56/270, 20.7%), into the junction of these two veins (52/270, 19.3%), into left portal vein (LPV, 8/270, 3.0%), meanwhile 6 patients had 2 LGVs simultaneously, including LGVs of 5 cases into PV and SV, and of 1 case into PV-SV junction and SV. The most common IVI was found in those patients with two LGVs (4/6). Conclusions: IVI during LADG with D2 lymphadenectomy is common. The highest risk of IVI is found in scene II and scene IV. Attentions should be paid to anatomic variation of vessels, especially the RGeV, LGV and RGA.

Abstract
Objective: Gastroesophageal reflux disease is easily missed on X-ray or even computer tomography. This study was to evaluate the endoscopic imaging for the radiofrequency ablation (RA) on the diagnosis and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease related extra-esophageal
symptoms. Methods: From January 2011, to January 2012, we allocated 51 patients to LTF and 47 to RA procedure. Primary outcome measures, including symptom scores of globus hysterics, chest pain, belching, hiccup, cough and asthma as well as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) use, were analyzed
after 5-year follow-up. Results: There were 90 patients following RA procedure (N = 40) or LTF (N = 50) that completed the designated 5-year follow-up and were included in the final analysis. At the end of 5-year follow-up, the symptom scores were all significantly decreased
as compared with the corresponding values before the two procedures in both groups (p < 0.05). Moreover, the improvement in symptom scores between the two groups did not achieve statistical significance. After RA procedure and LTF, 18 (45%) and 32 (64%) patients in each group achieved
complete PPIs therapy independence (p = 0.071). Comparing with LTF, however, the RA procedure had a higher risk of reoperation (17.5% vs. 0, p = 0.002). Conclusion: Comparing with LTF in controlling GERD-related extra-esophageal symptoms, RA procedure can offer equivalent
relief on symptoms and PPIs independence. However, it has a higher risk of reoperation during the 5 years follow-up.

Abstract
Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are newly discovered tubular structures between two distant cells that facilitate the intercellular exchange of signals and components. Recent reports show that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can rescue injured target cells and promote recovery from a variety of stresses via TNT-mediated mitochondrial transfer. In this study, we explored how TNTs form between bone marrow MSCs and endothelial cells (ECs) by using a human umbilical cord vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) model. TNT formation between MSCs and HUVECs could be induced by treating HUVECs with cytarabine (Ara-C), and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMMSCs) could transfer mitochondria to injured HUVECs through TNTs. Mitochondrial transfer from hBMMSCs to HUVECs via TNTs rescued the injured HUVECs by reducing apoptosis, promoting proliferation and restoring the transmembrane migration ability as well as the capillary angiogenic capacity of HUVECs. This study provides novel insights into the cell-cell communication between MSCs and ECs and supports the results of prior studies indicating that ECs promote hematopoietic regeneration. An improved understanding of MSC-EC cross-talk will promote the development of MSC-directed strategies for improving EC function and hematopoietic system regeneration following myelosuppressive and myeloablative injuries.

Abstract
Objective: Gastroesophagel reflux disease is not readily diagnosed using X-ray or even computer tomography. This study was to evaluate the endoscopic imaging for the radiofrequency ablation (RA) on the diagnosis and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Methods:
We allocated 85 to mechanical RA and 80 patients to LTF. Primary outcome measures, including symptom scores of heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, belching, hiccup, cough and asthma as well as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) use, were analyzed. Results: There were 125 patients following
mechanical radiofrequency ablation procedure (N = 60) or LTF (N = 65) included in the final analysis. The symptom scores were all significantly decreased as compared with the corresponding values before the two procedures in both groups (p < 0.05). After mechanical
RA procedure and LTF, 30 (50%) and 45 (69.2%) patients in each group achieved complete PPIs therapy independence (p = 0.028). Comparing with LTF, the mechanical RA procedure had less effect on improving typical symptoms of heartburn and chest pain and the rate of reoperation (13% vs.
0, p = 0.003). Conclusions: Comparing with LTF in controlling GERD symptoms, the mechanical radiofrequency ablation procedure can offer equivalent relief on atypical symptoms. However, it has less effect on improving PPIs independence and avoiding reoperation.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze esophageal motility dysfunction in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with different severity of esophagitis, and the relationship between the esophageal motility dysfunction and the severity of esophagitis. Methods: GERD patients simultaneously undergone endoscopy and high-resolution manometry were divided into four groups: Non-esophagitis (Non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease, NERD) group, mild esophagitis group, moderate esophagitis group and severe esophagitis group. The gender and age were matched for each group, and every group consisted of 80 cases. Nonparametric test was used to analyze the differences in HRM parameters, such as upper esophageal sphincter (UES) pressure, lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, LES length, LES-CD (crural diaphragm) separation distance, and the percentage of failed peristalsis of the four groups, and the differences between each two of the groups were also analyzed. Results: Nonparametric test showed that the LES pressure and length decreased with the severity of esophagitis, and there were statistical differences (P<0.001, P=0.030). The failed peristalsis percentage increased with the severity of esophagitis and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The LES-CD separation distance was increased with the severity of esophagitis and had statistically significance (P<0.001). When comparing the differences between each two of the groups, there were significant differences (P<0.001, P=0.012, P<0.001, P<0.001) between NERD group and severe esophagitis group in the HRM parameters of the lower esophageal sphincter pressure, the LES length, the LES-CD separation distance, and the percentage of ineffective swallowing in the NERD and severe esophagitis group. The detection rate of HH was significantly increased from NERD to severe esophagitis, the detection rate of HH was 6.3% to 82.5% in gastoracopy and 16.3% to 45.0% in HRM, and the diagnostic consistency was fair (Kappa Value: 0.31). Conclusions: Hypo-dynamic state of esophageal and HH are the main motility characteristics of erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease, Esophageal motility abnormalities increase in parallel with the severity of GERD from NERD to severe esophagitis, these motility disorders may also play important roles in causing esophagitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) has been the gold standard for the surgical management of Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Laparoscopic anterior 180° fundoplication (180° LAF) is reported to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications while obtaining similar control of reflux. The present meta-analysis was conducted to confirm the value of the 2 techniques. METHODS PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Springerlink, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure Platform databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing LNF and 180° LAF. Data regarding the benefits and adverse results of 2 techniques were extracted and compared using a meta-analysis. RESULTS Six eligible RCTs comparing LNF (n = 266) and 180° LAF (n = 265) were identified. There were no significant differences between LNF and 180° LAF with regard to operating time, perioperative complications, length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction, willingness to undergo surgery again, quality of life, postoperative heartburn, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use, postoperative DeMeester scores, postoperative lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, postoperative gas-bloating, unable to belch, diarrhea, or overall reoperation. LNF was associated with a higher prevalence of postoperative dysphagia compared with 180° LAF, while 180° LAF was followed by more reoperation for recurrent reflux symptoms. CONCLUSION LNF and 180° LAF are equally effective in controlling reflux symptoms and obtain a comparable prevalence of patient satisfaction. 180° LAF can reduce the incidence of postoperative dysphagia while this is offset by a higher risk of reoperation for recurrent symptoms. The risk of recurrent symptoms should need to be balanced against the risk of dysphagia when surgeons choose surgical procedures for each individual with GERD.
