Abstract
Analysis of transcription factors and chromatin modifications at the genome-wide level provides insights into gene regulatory processes, such as transcription, cell differentiation and cellular response. Chromatin immunoprecipitation is the most popular and powerful approach for mapping chromatin, and other enzyme-tethering techniques have recently become available for living cells. Among these, Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag) is a relatively novel chromatin profiling method that has rapidly gained popularity in the field of epigenetics since 2019. It has also been widely adapted to map chromatin modifications and TFs in different species, illustrating the association of these chromatin epitopes with various physiological and pathological processes. Scalable single-cell CUT&Tag can be combined with distinct platforms to distinguish cellular identity, epigenetic features and even spatial chromatin profiling. In addition, CUT&Tag has been developed as a strategy for joint profiling of the epigenome, transcriptome or proteome on the same sample. In this review, we will mainly consolidate the applications of CUT&Tag and its derivatives on different platforms, give a detailed explanation of the pros and cons of this technique as well as the potential development trends and applications in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early, rapid, and accurate pathogen diagnosis can help clinicians select targeted treatment options, thus improving prognosis and reducing mortality rates of severe pneumonia. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has a higher sensitivity and broader pathogen spectrum than traditional microbiological tests. However, the effects of mNGS-based antimicrobial treatment procedures on clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness in patients with severe pneumonia have not been evaluated. METHODS This is a regional, multi-center, open, prospective, randomized controlled trial to evaluate that whether the combination of mNGS and traditional testing methods could decrease 28-day call-cause mortality with moderate cost-effectiveness. A total of 192 patients with severe pneumonia will be recruited from four large tertiary hospitals in China. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid will be obtained in all patients and randomly assigned to the study group (mNGS combined with traditional microbiological tests) or the control group (traditional microbiological tests only) in a 1:1 ratio. Individualized antimicrobial treatment and strategy will be selected according to the analysis results. The primary outcome is 28-day all-cause mortality. The secondary outcomes are ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS), ventilator-free days and ICU-free days, consistency between mNGS and traditional microbiological tests, detective rate of mNGS and traditional microbiological tests, turn-out time, time from group allocation to start of treatment, duration of vasopressor support, types and duration of anti-infective regimens, source of drug-resistant bacteria or fungi, and ICU cost. DISCUSSION The clinical benefits of mNGS are potentially significant, but its limitations should also be considered. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChineseClinicalTrialRegistry.org, ChiCTR2300076853.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor and chemotherapy is approved as a standard first- or second-line treatment in patients with advanced oesophageal or gastric cancer. However, it is unclear whether this combination is superior to chemotherapy alone. AIM To assess the comparative effectiveness and tolerability of combining PD-1 inhibitors with chemotherapy vs chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, or oesophageal carcinoma. METHODS We searched the PubMed and Embase databases for studies that compared the efficacy and tolerance of PD-1 inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy vs chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced oesophageal or gastric cancer. We employed either random or fixed models to analyze the outcomes of each clinical trial, encompassing data on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate, and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS Nine phase 3 clinical trials (7016 advanced oesophageal and gastric cancer patients) met the inclusion criteria. Our meta-analysis demonstrated that the pooled PD-1 inhibitor + chemotherapy group had a significantly longer OS than the chemotherapy-alone group [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.71-0.81]; the pooled PFS result was consistent with that of OS (HR = 0.67, 95%CI: 0.61-0.74). The count of patients achieving an objective response in the PD-1 inhibitor + chemotherapy group surpassed that of the chemotherapy-alone group [odds ratio (OR) = 1.86, 95%CI: 1.59-2.18]. AE incidence was also higher in the combination-therapy group than in the chemotherapy-alone group, regardless of whether ≥ grade 3 only (OR = 1.30, 95%CI: 1.07-1.57) or all AE grades (OR = 1.88, 95%CI: 1.39-2.54) were examined. We performed a subgroup analysis based on the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) and noted extended OS and PFS durations within the CPS ≥ 1, CPS ≥ 5, and CPS ≥ 10 subgroups of the PD-1 inhibitor + chemotherapy group. CONCLUSION In contrast to chemotherapy alone, the combination of PD-1 inhibitor and chemotherapy appears to present a more favorable option for initial or subsequent treatment in patients with gastric cancer, GEJ tumor, or oesophageal cancer. This holds true particularly for individuals with PD-L1 CPS scores of ≥ 5 and ≥ 10.

Abstract
Hypoxia has been reported to promote the proliferation and migration of thyroid cancer, while the special mechanism was still unclear. HIF-1α/carnitine palmitoyl-transferase 1A (CPT1A) was found to be associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) but the biological role of CPT1A in PTC was not explored. The effects of hypoxia and carnitine palmitoyl-transferase 1A (CPT1A) expression on PTC cells were determined by cell counting kit-8 assay, detection of oxidative stress, inflammation response and mitochondrial membrane motential (MMP). Oil Red O staining and the detection of free fatty acids were performed to assess the status of lipid metabolism. Flow cytometric analysis was performed to assess cell apoptosis. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blot analysis were applied to investigate the expressions of CPT1A and HIF-1α and the molecules involved cell function. The expressions of CPT1A and HIF-1α were significantly increased in PTC cells with or without hypoxia treatment. CPT1A overexpression or silencing promoted or inhibited cell viability, and hypoxia further repressed cell viability. In addition, CPT1A overexpression alleviates hypoxia-induced increased oxidative stress, inflammation response and elevated MMP. CPT1A overexpression enhanced palmitic acid-induced decreased cell growth, enhanced the metabolic capacity of free fatty acid and suppressed cell apoptosis. Animal experiments showed that CPT1A overexpression promoted PTC tumor growth, reduced lipid deposition, oxidative stress and inflammation, as well as enhancing cell function indicators. However, CPT1A silencing showed the opposite effects both in vitro and in vivo. Hypoxia induces the high expression of HIF-1α/CPT1A, thereby reprogramming the lipid metabolism of PTC cells for adapting the hypoxia environment, meanwhile inhibiting the cell damage and apoptosis caused by oxidative stress.

Abstract
RNA-Seq analysis of Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) samples has emerged as a highly effective approach and is increasingly being used in clinical research and drug development. However, the processing and storage of FFPE samples are known to cause extensive degradation of RNAs, which limits the discovery of gene expression or gene fusion-based biomarkers using RNA sequencing, particularly methods reliant on Poly(A) enrichment. Recently, researchers have developed an exome targeted RNA-Seq methodology that utilizes biotinylated oligonucleotide probes to enrich RNA transcripts of interest, which could overcome these limitations. Nevertheless, the standardization of this experimental framework, including probe designs, sample multiplexing, sequencing read length, and bioinformatic pipelines, remains an essential requirement. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive comparison of three main commercially available exome capture kits and evaluated key experimental parameters, to provide the overview of the advantages and limitations associated with the selection of library preparation protocols and sequencing platforms. The results provide valuable insights into the best practices for obtaining high-quality data from FFPE samples.

Abstract
Background High mortality rates are prevalent among patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and effective therapeutic targets are key prognostic factors. Fascin actin-bundling protein 1 (FSCN1) promotes NSCLC; however, its role as an RNA-binding protein in NSCLC remains unexplored. Therefore, we aimed to explore FSCN1 expression and function in A549 cells. Method We screened for alternative-splicing events and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) after FSCN1 silence via RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). FSCN1 immunoprecipitation followed by RNA-seq were used to identify target genes whose mRNA expression and pre-mRNA alternative-splicing levels might be influenced by FSCN1. Results Silencing FSCN1 in A549 cells affected malignant phenotypes; it inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion, and promoted apoptosis. RNA-seq analysis revealed 2,851 DEGs and 3,057 alternatively spliced genes. Gene ontology-based functional enrichment analysis showed that downregulated DEGs and alternatively splicing genes were enriched for the cell-cycle. FSCN1 promoted the alternative splicing of cell-cycle-related mRNAs involved in tumorigenesis (i.e., BCCIP, DLGAP5, PRC1, RECQL5, WTAP, and SGO1). Combined analysis of FSCN1 RNA-binding targets and RNA-seq data suggested that FSCN1 might affect ACTG1, KRT7, and PDE3A expression by modulating the pre-mRNA alternative-splicing levels of NME4, NCOR2, and EEF1D, that were bound to long non-coding RNA transcripts (RNASNHG20, NEAT1, NSD2, and FTH1), which were highly abundant. Overall, extensive transcriptome analysis of gene alternative splicing and expression levels was performed in cells transfected with FSCN1 short-interfering RNA. Our data provide global insights into the regulatory mechanisms associated with the roles of FSCN1 and its target genes in lung cancer.

Abstract
This cohort study evaluated the associations of different treatments with the prognosis of follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC) and classical papillary thyroid carcinoma (CPTC) patients. The data of 69034 PTC patients were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The 5-year mortality of CPTC and FVPTC patients receiving surgery, radiation and combination therapy were compared. The univariable and multivariable cox proportional risk models explored the associations between different treatments and the 5-year mortality in CPTC and FVPTC patients. The 5-year mortality of CPTC patients was 2.81% and FVPTC patients was 2.47%. Compared with CPTC receiving lobectomy and/or isthmectomy, those not receiving surgery were associated with increased risk of 5-year mortality [Hazards ratio (HR)=3.27, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.55-4.20] while total thyroidectomy was correlated with reduced risk of 5-year mortality (HR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.55-0.80). Radioactive iodine (RAI) was linked with decreased risk of 5-year mortality in CPTC patients (HR=0.57, 95%CI: 0.50-0.65). CPTC patients undergoing both surgery and radiation were related to decreased risk of 5-year mortality compared with those receiving surgery only (HR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.48-0.63). CPTC patients receiving neither surgery nor radiation (HR=4.53, 95%CI: 3.72-5.51) or those receiving radiation (HR=1.98, 95%CI: 1.13-3.48) were correlated with elevated risk of 5-year mortality. The elevated risk of 5-year mortality in FVPTC patients was reduced in those undergoing RAI (HR=0.63, 95%CI: 0.51-0.76). In conclusion, combination therapy was associated with decreased risk of 5-year mortality in CPTC and FVPTC patients, which might provide a reference for the management of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This network meta-analysis was performed to assess the relative efficacy and safety of various regional analgesic techniques used in thoracic surgery. MATERIALSAND METHODS Randomized controlled trials evaluating different regional analgesic methods were retrieved from databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, from inception to March 2021. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve) was estimated to rank the therapies based on the Bayesian theorem. Moreover, sensitivity and subgroup analyses were performed on the primary outcomes to obtain more reliable conclusions. RESULTS Fifty-four trials (3360 patients) containing six different methods were included. Thoracic paravertebral block and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) were ranked the highest in reducing postoperative pain. As for total adverse reactions and postoperative nausea and vomiting, postoperative complications, and duration of hospitalization, ESPB was found to be superior to other methods. It should be noted that there were few differences between various methods for all outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Available evidence suggests that ESPB might be the most effective and safest method for relieving pain after thoracic surgery, shortening the length of hospital stay and reducing the incidence of postoperative complications.

Background and Objective Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), a flavin protein in mitochondria, is originally found to induce apoptosis under the stimulation of pro-apoptotic factors. As a mitochondrial flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent oxidoreductase, AIF is involved in the regulation of mammalian cell metabolism by regulating respiratory enzyme activity, antioxidant stress, promoting mitochondrial autophagy and glucose uptake, etc. Herein, we focused on the research progress regarding the molecular mechanism of AIF in metabolic mediation and the recent research on AIF in metabolic diseases, as well as the AIF-mediated apoptotic process. Methods Articles for this paper were obtained by reviewing the literature related to the role of AIF in metabolic diseases on PubMed. The search terms included the following: "apoptosis", "metabolism" or "metabolic diseases" plus "apoptosis-inducing factor". The titles, abstracts, and full texts of relevant English-language publications published from October 1996 to June 2022 were manually screened to clarify the role of AIF in metabolic diseases. Key Content and Findings We found that AIF played an important role in a variety of metabolically-related diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and tumor metabolism, by mediating apoptosis. Conclusions We summarized the important role of AIF in a variety of metabolic diseases, which might help to further expand the understanding of AIF and to develop AIF-related therapeutic targets.

Abstract
The electrophysiological activity of the gastrointestinal tract and the mechanical anti-reflux structure of the gastroesophageal junction are the basis of the anti-reflux function of the stomach. Proximal gastrectomy destroys the mechanical structure and normal electrophysiological channels of the anti-reflux. Therefore, the residual gastric function is disordered. Moreover, gastroesophageal reflux is one of the most serious complications. The emergence of various types of anti-reflux surgery through the mechanism of reconstructing mechanical anti-reflux barrier and establishing buffer zone, and the preservation of, the pacing area and vagus nerve of the stomach, the continuity of the jejunal bowel, the original gastroenteric electrophysiological activity of the gastrointestinal tract, and the physiological function of the pyloric sphincter, are all important measures for gastric conservative operations. There are many types of reconstructive approaches after proximal gastrectomy. The design based on the anti-reflux mechanism and the functional reconstruction of mechanical barrier, and the protection of gastrointestinal electrophysiological activities are important considerations for the selected of reconstructive approaches after proximal gastrectomy. In clinical practice, we should consider the principle of individualization and the safety of radical resection of tumor to select a rational reconstructive approaches after proximal gastrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and Onodera's prognostic nutritional index (OPNI) have been reported as prognostic markers for various cancers. We evaluated the prognostic value of the NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, SIRI, and OPNI for poorly-to moderately-differentiated cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the cases of 109 patients with early-stage poorly-to moderately-differentiated CSCC who underwent radical surgery at our institution in 2014-2017. The optimal cutoff points for the NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, SIRI, and OPNI were determined by receiver operating characteristic curves. Overall survival was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method. We performed a multivariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazard regression model to determine the independent prognostic indicators for early-stage poorly-to moderately-differentiated CSCC. RESULTS The appropriate cutoff points were: NLR, 1.72; PLR, 111.96; MLR, .24; SII, 566.23; SIRI, 1.38; and OPNI, 52.68. The OS of the patients with a high OPNI (P = .04), low SII (P = .03), or low SIRI (P = .01) was significantly better. The uni- and multivariate analyses identified only the OPNI as an independent prognostic marker for early-stage poorly-to moderately-differentiated CSCC (P = .04 and P = .02). CONCLUSION The OPNI is an independent prognostic marker for early-stage poorly-to moderately-differentiated CSCC; the NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, and SIRI are not.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, prophylactic antibiotics are recommended only for cirrhotic patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB); however, the benefit for other AUGIB patients remains undetermined. We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between patients with AUGIB with and without prophylactic antibiotics to identify the population that requires this therapy. METHODS Patients with AUGIB admitted between 1st January 2019 and 31st December 2021 in the Emergency Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital were enrolled. Patients were divided into the antibiotic and non-antibiotic groups. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and the secondary outcome was the onset of new infection. The risk factors for mortality and infection were analyzed, and stratification analysis of prophylactic antibiotics was performed. Continuous data were analyzed using the t-test or nonparametric rank sum test, and categorical data were analyzed using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Indicators with significant differences between the groups were included for logistic regression analysis. A P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS A total of 392 individuals were included, among them, 281 patients received prophylactic antibiotics, and 111 patients did not receive prophylactic antibiotics. The mortality rates were significantly lower in the antibiotic group than in the non-antibiotics group (6.41% vs. 17.12%, P=0.001). The risk factors for infection were varicose veins (P=0.045) and endotracheal intubation (P=0.005) in the prophylactic antibiotic group, and endoscopic treatment (P=0.010) in the non-prophylactic antibiotic group. Stratified analyses showed that patients with age ≥ 65 years, endotracheal intubation, endoscopic treatment, and AUGIB of variceal etiologies benefited from prophylactic antibiotics. CONCLUSION AUGIB patients may benefit from prophylactic antibiotics to decrease mortality, especially those aged ≥ 65 years and those with endotracheal intubation, endoscopic treatment, and variceal etiologies.

Abstract
Penile cancer is a rare malignant disease. Paclitaxel combined with platinum is often used as a first-line chemotherapeutic regimen for late-stage penile cancer, and there is no standard second-line treatment. Clinical trials of immunotherapy for penile cancer are ongoing. There are no reports on PD1 inhibitor treatment in metastatic penile carcinoma patients with MMR/MSI status heterogeneity. A 68-year-old patient was hospitalized with bilateral inguinal lymph node metastasis and local penile recurrence after penile cancer surgery. The lesion of the right inguinal lymph node showed a mismatch-repair-deficient (dMMR)/microsatellite instability-low (MSI-L) status. After 3 cycles of sintilimab (a PD1 inhibitor) combined with paclitaxel and cisplatin, the partial response of the tumor was evaluated. Subsequently, sintilimab monotherapy was used as maintenance treatment for 2 months. However, The lesion of local penile recurrence showed mismatch repair proficient (pMMR)/microsatellite stability (MSS) status by secondary biopsy when progressed rapidly. Interestingly, after continued treatment with sintilimab combined with gemcitabine, the patient achieved a partial response again. We should be aware of the importance of secondary biopsy for different lesions to confirm the heterogeneity of MMR/MSI status. For penile cancer patients with MMR/MSI status heterogeneity, PD1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy are safe and effective. Due to oligometastatic lesion progression caused only by the heterogeneity of MMR/MSI status, PD1 inhibitor cross-line therapy can also be considered an appropriate treatment.

Abstract
Background Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills may decay over time after conventional instructor-led BLS training. The Resuscitation Quality Improvement® (RQI®) program, unlike a conventional basic life support (BLS) course, is implemented through mastery learning and low-dose, high-frequency training strategies to improve CPR competence. We facilitated the RQI program to compare the performance of novices vs those with previous BLS training experience before RQI implementation and to obtain their confidence and attitude of the RQI program. Methods A single-center observational study was conducted from May 9, 2021 to June 25, 2021 in an emergency department of a tertiary hospital. The performance assessment data of both trainees with a previous training experience in conventional BLS course (BLS group) and the novice ones with no prior experience with any BLS training (Non-BLS group) was collected by RQI cart and other outcome variables were rated by online questionnaire. Outcome measurements included chest compression and ventilation in both adult-sized and infant-sized manikins. Results A total of 149 participants were enrolled. Among them, 103 participants were in BLS group and 46 participants in Non-BLS group. Post RQI training, all the trainees achieved a passing score of 75 or more, and obtained an improvement in CPR performance. The number of attempts to pass RQI for compression and ventilation practice was lower in the BLS group in both adult and infant training sessions (P < 0.05). Although the BLS group had a poor baseline, it had fewer trials and the same learning outcomes, and the BLS group had better self-confidence. Trainees were well adapted to the innovative training modality, and satisfaction among all of the participants was high. Only the respondents for non-instructor led training, the satisfaction was low in both groups (72.8% in BLS group vs 65.2% in No-BLS group, strongly agreed). Conclusion Among novices, RQI can provide excellent CPR core skills performance. But for those who had previous BLS training experience, it was able to enhance the efficiency of the skills training with less time consumption. Most trainees obtained good confidence and satisfaction with RQI program, which might be an option for the broad prevalence of BLS training in China.

Abstract
The harm of agricultural pests presents a remarkable effect on the quality and safety of edible farm products and the monitoring and identification of agricultural pests based on the Internet of Things (IoT) produce a large amount of data to be transmitted. To achieve efficient and real-time transmission of the sensors' data for pest monitoring, this paper selects 235 geographic coordinates of agricultural pest monitoring points and uses genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and simulated annealing (SA) to optimize the data transmission paths of sensors. The three intelligent algorithms are simulated by MATLAB software. The results show that the optimized path based on PSO can make the shortest time used for transmitting data, and its corresponding minimum time is 4.868012 s. This study can provide a reference for improving the transmission efficiency of agricultural pest monitoring data, provide a guarantee for developing real-time and effective pest control strategies, and further reduce the threat of pest damage to the safety of farm products.

Abstract
Pericardial fistula is a rare complication. Generally, the diagnosis can be confirmed by imaging examination, but our patient was an exception. We present a 71-year-old female patient that complained of remnant gastric cancer for five months and dyspnea for seven days; the dyspnea became aggravated during the last two days. After admission, emergency thoracic computed tomography and echocardiography showed pericardial effusion, and pericardiocentesis was performed. After conventional treatment, the pericardial effusion was unchanged and no cancer cells were found in the pericardial drainage. However, the color changed from turbid to golden yellow and, finally, to green. After 20 days of repeated laboratory, imaging, and gastrointestinal contrast examinations, no cause was found. Moreover, a clinical diagnosis could not be obtained following numerous comprehensive clinical analyses. Given the color change of the pericardial drainage, we strongly suspected pericardial fistula, but the imaging examinations were negative. Finally, a methylene blue test confirmed the existence of a pericardial fistula. When the color of the pericardial effusion changes, the existence of a pericardial fistula must be considered in advance, and other methods should be evaluated if imaging cannot assist in the diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) was closely related to the degree of pathological differentiation of tumors, and it's an important determinant of glioma pathogenicity. However, the molecular and pathological features of CIMP-positive glioma have not been fully elucidated. In addition, CIMP have been reported to be a useful prognostic marker in several human cancers, yet its prognostic value in gliomas is still controversial. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate gene mutations and pathological features of CIMP-positive glioma and explore the prognostic value of CIMP in gliomas. METHODS We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE for studies describing gene mutations, pathological features and overall survival of gliomas stratified by CIMP status. Odds ratios (OR), hazard ratios (HR), and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to estimate the correlation between CIMP and the outcome parameters. RESULTS Twelve studies with 2386 gliomas (1051 CIMP-positive and 1335 CIMP-negative) were included. Our results showed that CIMP was more frequent in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1)-mutated gliomas (OR 229.07; 95% CI 138.72-378.26) and 1p19q loss of heterozygosis (LOH) gliomas (OR 5.65; 95% CI 2.66-12.01). Pathological analysis showed that CIMP was common in low-malignant oligodendroglioma (OR 5.51; 95% CI 3.95-7.70) with molecular features including IDH1 mutations and 1p19q LOH, but rare in glioblastoma (OR 0.14; 95% CI 0.10-0.19). However, CIMP showed no obvious correlation with anaplastic oligoastrocytomas (OR 1.57; 95% CI 1.24-2.00) or oligoastrocytomas (OR 0.79; 95% CI 0.35-1.76). Concerning the prognosis, we found that CIMP-positive gliomas had longer overall survival (HR 0.57; 95% CI 0.97-0.16) than CIMP-negative gliomas. CONCLUSIONS CIMP could be used as a potential independent prognostic indicator for glioma.

Abstract
Aim To determine the ideal surgical approach for Siewert type II EGJ carcinomas. Methods We conducted the randomized controlled trial (RCT) at Shanxi Cancer Hospital from January 2014 to August 2016. A total of 105 patients with T1-4N1-3M0 Siewert type II EGJ carcinomas were initially recruited. The final follow-up was up to June 30, 2019. Patients were randomized to undergo either a proximal gastrectomy plus jejunal interposition (PG+JI), proximal gastrectomy plus esophagogastrostomy (PG+EG), or total gastrectomy plus Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy (TG+RY). The primary endpoint was postoperative complications. Secondary endpoints were 5-year survival and recovery indexes. Results Among 105 patients, 100 patients (95.2%; mean age, 56.2 years) with tumors <3cm in size underwent surgery: PG+JI (n=33) vs. PG+EG (n=33) and TG+RY (n=34); 91 patients completed the study. Among the groups, the PG+JI group had the longest reconstruction time: 34.11 ± 6.10 min vs. 21.97 ± 3.30 min (PG+EG) vs. 30.56 ± 4.26 min (TG+RY); p<0.001. There was no postoperative mortality. In the per-protocol analysis, the PG+JI group showed a decreased tendency in complication rate: 6.9% vs. 23.3% (PG+EG) vs. 18.8% (TG+RY), but there was no significant difference. For recovery indexes, the TG+RY group had the lowest values of the amount of single meal, weight loss, hemoglobin, albumin, pepsin, and gastrin among the three groups. There was no significant difference among the three groups in 5-year survival. Conclusions Proximal gastrectomy is preferable for T1-4N1-3M0 Siewert type II EGJ carcinomas with tumors <3cm in size because of its better nutrition status under similar postoperative complication to total gastrectomy. Jejunal interposition can be recommended as a optional reconstruction approach after proximal gastrectomy. Clinical Trial Registration https://www.chictr.org.cn/, identifier ChiCTR-IIR-16007733.

Abstract
With the increasing detection rate of early upper gastric cancer and adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction, the safety of proximal gastrectomy with clear indications has been verified, and function-preserving proximal gastrectomy has been widely used. However, proximal gastrectomy destructs the normal anatomical structure of esophagogastric junction, resulting in severe postoperative gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and seriously affecting the quality of life. Among various anti-reflux surgery methods, reconstruction of "cardiac valve" has always been the focus of relevant scholars because its similarity with the mechanism of normal anti-reflux. After years of development, evolution and optimization, the designed seromuscular flap anastomosis includes tunnel muscle flap anastomosis, Hatafuku valvuloplasty, single muscle flap anastomosis and double muscle flap anastomosis. The double muscle flap anastomosis has become a research hotspot because it shows good anti-reflux effect in clinical application. This paper reviews the history, research status and hot issues of seromuscular flap anastomosis of esophageal remnant stomach at home and abroad.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) has been identified as one of the most common malignancies. It was found that microRNAs can be used as potential biomarkers for GC diagnosis. The aim of this study was to estimate the diagnostic value of 4 potential microRNAs in GC. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were used to search published studies. The quality of the studies was scored with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies. The pooled sensitivity and specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated. The heterogeneity was evaluated using Cochrane Q statistics and the inconsistency index. RESULTS A total of 22 studies reporting the diagnostic value of miR-21 (n = 9), miR-106 (n = 10), miR-421 (n = 5) and miR-223 (n = 3) were included. Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies scores showed the high quality of the selected 22 articles. The random effects model was adopted by evaluating the heterogeneity between articles. The DOR, AUC, and Q value of miRNA-21 were 12.37 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.36-28.54), 0.86 and 0.79, respectively. The DOR, AUC and Q value of miRNA-106 were 12.98 [95% CI: 7.14-23.61], 0.85 and 0.78, respectively. The DOR, AUC and Q value of miRNA-421 were 27.86 [95% CI: 6.04-128.48], 0.92 and 0.86, respectively. The DOR, AUC and Q value of miRNA-223 were 18.50 [95% CI: 7.80-43.86], 0.87 and 0.80, respectively. These results indicate that miRNA-421 has the highest diagnostic accuracy, followed by miR-223, miRNA-21, and miRNA-106 among the 4 microRNAs in GC. CONCLUSIONS miR-21, miR-106, miR-421, and miR-223 have good diagnostic efficacy, especially miR-421, could be used as auxiliary diagnostic indicator for GC.

Abstract
Standardized surgical management of postoperative specimens of gastric cancer is an important part of the standardized diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. It can reflect the accurate number and detailed distribution of lymph nodes in the specimen and lay the foundation for accurate and standardized pathological reports after surgery. Meanwhile, it can evaluate the scope of intraoperative lymph node dissection, the safety of cutting edge, and the standardization of surgery (principle of en-bloc dissection), which is an important means of surgical quality control. It also provides accurate research samples for further research and is an important way for young surgeons to train their clinical skills. The surgical management of postoperative specimens for gastric cancer needs to be standardized, including specimen processing personnel, processing flow, resection margin examination, lymph node sorting, measurement after specimen dissection, storage of biological specimens, documentation of recorded data, etc. The promotion of standardized surgical management of specimens after radical gastrectomy can promote the homogenization of gastric cancer surgical diagnosis and treatment in medical institutions and further promote the high-quality development of gastric cancer surgery in China.

Abstract
PURPOSE The best treatment strategy for primary spontaneous pneumothorax is controversial and varies widely in practice. METHODS Literatures were searched from databases till 24 August 2021. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted to compare the outcomes of various treatments with the following endpoints: recurrence rate, postoperative chest tube duration, postoperative air leakage duration, length of hospital stay, and complications rate. RESULTS In all, 7210 patients of 20 randomized controlled trials and 17 cohort studies were included. Surgery had a significantly lower recurrence rate compared to other treatments. Besides, bullectomy (BT) combined with chemical pleurodesis (CP), mechanical pleurodesis, or staple line coverage (SLC) can reduce the recurrence rate compared to BT alone, but none of them were statistically significant. In terms of reducing chest tube duration, BT with tubular Neoveil outperformed BT + pleural abrasion (mean difference [MD], 95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.5 [-4.63, -0.35]) and BT + apical pleurectomy (MD, 95% CI: -2.72 [-5.16, -0.27]). CONCLUSIONS Surgical methods were superior to manual aspiration (MA), chest tube drainage (CTD), and conservative treatment in terms of recurrence reduction. There was no significant difference between MA and CTD in reducing the recurrence rate. Among surgical methods, CP is more effective than mechanical pleurodesis and SLC among the additional procedures based on BT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunoinflammatory markers such as the peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have gained considerable attention as prognostic markers in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).
AIM To assess the prognostic value of Onodera’s Prognostic Nutritional Index (OPNI) for GISTs.
METHODS All patients who had undergone surgical resection for a primary, localized GIST from 2009 to 2016 at our cancer center were initially and retrospectively identified. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. We used multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models to identify associations with outcome variables.
RESULTS A total of 235 GISTs were identified and included for analysis under our inclusion criteria. Univariate and multivariate analyses both identified the OPNI as an independent prognostic marker, and the OPNI was associated with the primary site, tumor size, mitotic index, tumor rupture, necrosis, and modified NIH risk classification. Low OPNI (< 51.30; hazard ratio = 5.852; 95% confidence interval: 1.072–31.964; P = 0.0414) was associated with worse RFS. The 2- and 5-year RFS rates of the patients with a low OPNI were 92.83% and 76.22%, respectively, whereas 100% and 98.41% were achieved by the patients with a high OPNI.
CONCLUSION The preoperative OPNI is a novel and useful prognostic marker for GISTs.

Abstract
Melanomas most commonly localized in the skin can arise anywhere in the body, and approximately 5% of all melanomas appear in other sites of mucosal surfaces out of skin. Primary melanoma from nasal mucosa is quite rare. We present this case: a 46-year-old man had complained a pain in the left upper abdomen for 2 months when he was admitted to the Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital. The pain was paroxysmal and enhanced when eating. There was no nausea, vomiting, or anorexia. There had been no change in weight in previous months. This patient had a past history of surgery for nasal mucosal malignant melanoma 2 years ago. Abdominal enhanced computed tomography (CT) indicated that a mass originated from small bowel and occupied the left upper abdomen. The patient underwent a laparotomy during which a black lesion measuring about 5 cm × 5 cm × 4 cm was found at the jejunum and resected totally together with partial jejunum. The patient was eventually diagnosed as secondary jejunal malignant melanoma from nasal mucosal melanoma. For patients with a history of melanoma, gastrointestinal metastasis should be considered when patients develop gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition, we recommend positive anti-tumor therapy after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thalamic pain, a neuropathic pain syndrome, frequently occurs after stroke. This research aimed to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on thalamic pain. METHODS The cellular localization of the TLR4 protein was determined by immunostaining. The expression of Iba1, GFAP and protein associated with the TLR4/NF-κB/ERK1/2 pathway was measured by Western blotting. Continuous pain hypersensitivity was evaluated by behavioural tests. The results were analysed by one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test. RESULTS The results demonstrated that DEX obviously alleviated thalamic pain induced by haemorrhage on the ipsilateral side and delayed the development of pain hypersensitivity. Furthermore, the expression levels of Iba1, GFAP and proteins associated with the TLR4/NF-κB/ERK1/2 signalling pathway were greatly increased in mice with thalamic pain, but these effects were reversed by DEX. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that DEX alleviates the inflammatory response during thalamic pain through the TLR4/NF-κB/ERK1/2 signalling pathway and might be a potential therapeutic agent for thalamic pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of pulse oximetry plethysmography (POP) for the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in cardiac arrest (CA) patients. METHODS This was a multicenter, observational, prospective cohort study of patients hospitalized with cardiac arrest at 14 teaching hospitals cross China from December 2013 through November 2014. The study endpoint was ROSC, defined as the restoration of a palpable pulse and an autonomous cardiac rhythm lasting for at least 20 minutes after the completion or cessation of CPR. RESULTS 150 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients and 291 in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients were enrolled prospectively. ROSC was achieved in 20 (13.3%) and 64 (22.0%) patients in these cohorts, respectively. In patients with complete end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) and POP data, patients with ROSC had significantly higher levels of POP area under the curve (AUCp), wave amplitude (Amp) and ETCO2 level during CPR than those without ROSC (all p < 0.05). Pairwise comparison of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated no significant difference was observed between ETCO2 and Amp (p = 0.204) or AUCp (p = 0.588) during the first two minutes of resuscitation. CONCLUSION POP may be a novel and effective method for predicting ROSC during resuscitation, with a prognostic value similar to ETCO2 at early stage.

Abstract
Objective: Traditional Kamikawa anastomosis in digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy can greatly decrease the anastomosis-related complications and reduce the incidence of reflux esophagitis, but its complexity limits the wide application. To decrease the complexity of Kamikawa anastomosis, the surgical team of Changzhi People's Hospital of Shanxi Changzhi Medical College improved this technique by using novel notion and reduced surgical procedures. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified Kamikawa anastomosis in digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy. Methods: A descriptive cohort study was carried out. Case enrollment criteria: (1) upper gastric carcinoma or esophagogastric junction carcinoma without distant metastasis was confirmed by preoperative gastroscopic biopsy and imaging examination; (2) tumor diameter was less than 4 cm; (3) preoperative clinical staging was cT1-3N1M0. Exclusion criteria: (1) patients received preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy; (2) patients had severe heart or lung disease, or poor nutritional status so that they could not tolerate surgery. Clinical data of 25 patients with upper gastric carcinoma or esophagogastric junction carcinoma who underwent modified Kamikawa anastomosis in digestive tract reconstruction in Heji Hospital (8 cases) and Changzhi People's Hospital (17 cases) from April 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected. Of 25 patients, 21 were male and 4 were female, with mean age of 63.0 (49 to 78) years; 3 underwent open surgery and 22 underwent laparoscopic surgery. The modified Kamikawa anastomosis was as follows: (1) the novel notion of total mesangial resection of the esophagogastric junction was applied to facilitate the thorough removal of lymph nodes and facilitate hand-sewn anastomosis and embedding; (2) the diameter of the anastomotic stoma was selected according to the diameter of the esophageal stump, between 2.5 and 3.5 cm, to reduce the occurrence of anastomotic stenosis; (3) an ultrasonic scalpel was used to incise the esophageal stump, which could not only prevent bleeding of the esophageal stump, but also closely seal the esophageal mucosa, muscle layer and serosa to prevent esophageal mucosa retraction; (4) barbed suture was used to suture the remnant stomach fundus and esophagus to fix the stomach fundus in order to reduce the cumbersome and difficult intermittent sutures in a small space; (5) two barbed sutures were used to continuously suture the front and back walls of the anastomosis and complete the suture and fixation of the muscle flap. Relevant indicators of surgical safety, postoperative complications (using the Clavien-Dindo classification), esophageal reflux symptoms and the occurrence of esophagitis (using Los Angeles classification) were analyzed. The gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) score, gastroscopy, multi-position digestive tract radiography during postoperative follow-up were used to evaluate the residual gastric motility and anti-reflux efficacy. Results: Modified Kamikawa anastomosis in digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy was successfully performed in 25 patients. The surgical time was (5.8±1.8) hours, the intraoperative blood loss was (89.2±11.8) ml, and the average hospital stay was (13.8±2.9) days. Three cases (12.0%) developed postoperative anastomotic stenosis as Clavien-Dindo grade III and were healed after endoscopic dilation treatment. Postoperative upper gastrointestinal radiography showed 1 case (4.0%) with reflux symptoms as Clavien-Dindo grade I. Gastroscopy showed no signs of reflux esophagitis, and its Los Angeles classification was A grade. No anastomotic bleeding, local infection and death were found in all the patients. At postoperative 6-month of follow-up, GERD score showed no significant difference compared to pre-operation (2.7±0.6 vs. 2.4±1.0, t=-1.495, P=0.148). Conclusion: Modified Kamikawa anastomosis in digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy is safe and feasible with good anti-reflux efficacy.

Abstract
Background Immunoinflammatory and nutritional markers, such as the peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and Onodera’s prognostic nutritional index (OPNI), have gained considerable attention and have been preliminarily revealed as prognostic markers of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Methods In this study, we first investigated the prognostic value of OPNI in GISTs treated with or without TKIs based on the propensity score matching (PSM) method. All of the patients had received surgical resection for primary GIST, and data from 2010 to 2018 were initially and retrospectively identified from our gastrointestinal center. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was calculated by the Kaplan–Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. Results The patients were divided into groups treated and not treated with TKIs, and we used the propensity score matching method to homogenize their baseline data. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were applied to identify associations with outcome variables. A total of 563 GISTs were initially chosen, and 280 of them were included for analysis under the inclusion criteria. After PSM, there were 200 patients included. Multivariate analyses identified OPNI as an independent prognostic marker that was associated with primary site, tumor size, mitotic index, tumor rupture, necrosis, and modified NIH risk classification. Low OPNI (< 42.6; HR 0.409; P < 0.001) was associated with worse RFS. Conclusions Preoperative OPNI is a novel and useful prognostic marker for GISTs both treated and not treated with TKIs. Higher NLR and PLR have negative effects on RFS.

Abstract
Many clinical studies have demonstrated that the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and Onodera's prognostic nutritional index (OPNI) are visibly involved in the prognosis of a variety of tumors. In our research, we aim to determin the prognostic impact of NLR, PLR, and OPNI for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Data of hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing treatment in Changzhi People's Hospital between 2011 and 2017 were reviewed. 270 patients with HCC were under inclusion criteria. The optimal cut-off points of OPNI, NLR and PLR were determined by using the X-tile program. The overall survival (OS) was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate analysis was performed using Cox Proportional Hazard Regression model to determine independent prognostic indicators for HCC.As revealed by Univariate and multivariate analysis, OPNI, Treatment, PLR, and BCLC Stage can be used as independent prognostic indicators for HCC. Comparing the P values and hazard ratios, we found out that the OPNI has greatest influence on prognosis in these indexes. The appropriate cut-off points of NLR, PLR, and OPNI were 2.5, 133.3, and 39.5, respectively. High score OPNI group had a better OS. In the analysis between OPNI and clinicopathological characteristics, there were differences in treatment, postoperative therapy, AST, ALBI grade, NLR and PLR between the high OPNI group and the low OPNI group, while others did not.OPNI is a straightforward and effective independent prognostic indicator for HCC.

Abstract
The quality control and standardization of procedures in radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, especially the standardized processing of specimens after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, is very important. It is not only the basis of accurate pathological staging, but also the evidence of surgical quality and the original data of clinical research, which plays a pivotal role. The examination and classification of lymph nodes, specimens processing records, and data uploading and archiving after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer are indispensable. It is necessary for surgeons to participate in the processing of surgical specimens. This article will combine the current research status and progress at home and abroad to review the standardized processing of specimens after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Abstract
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) is one of the most commonly performed clinical bariatric surgeries for the remission of obesity and diabetes. Its effects include weight loss, improved insulin resistance, and the improvement of hepatic steatosis. Epidemiologic studies demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is associated with many diseases, including obesity. To explore the role of vitamin D in metabolic disorders for patients with obesity after VSG. We established a murine model of diet-induced obesity + VDD, and we performed VSGs to investigate VDD's effects on the improvement of metabolic disorders present in post-VSG obese mice. We observed that in HFD mice, the concentration of VitD3 is four fold of HFD + VDD one. In the post-VSG obese mice, VDD attenuated the improvements of hepatic steatosis, insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and permeability, the maintenance of weight loss, the reduction of fat loss, and the restoration of intestinal flora that were weakened. Our results suggest that in post-VSG obese mice, maintaining a normal level of vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining the improvement of metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most common malignant tumor, which occurs in the head and neck. Current treatments for LSCC are all largely weakened by increasing drug resistance. Our study aimed to investigate the effects of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 on drug resistance in LSCC. In our study, we found that the level of H19 was sharply upregulated in LSCC tissues and drug-resistant cells compared with the control. Besides, the expression of high-mobility group B1 (HMGB1) was elevated, and microRNA107 (miR-107) was suppressed in drug-resistant cells compared with the control. Further study revealed that the interference of H19 by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) effectively suppressed high autophagy level and obvious drug resistance in drug-resistant cells. Besides that, miR-107 was predicted as a target of H19 and inhibiting effects of H19 shRNA on autophagy and drug resistance were both reversed by miR-107 inhibitor. Moreover, HMGB1 was predicted as a target of miR-107 in LSCC cells and knockdown of HMGB1 was able to suppress autophagy and drug resistance in LSCC cells. In addition, our investigation demonstrated that H19 shRNA exerted an inhibiting effect on autophagy and drug resistance by downregulating HMGB1 by targeting miR-107. Finally, the in vivo experiment revealed that LV-H19 shRNA strongly suppressed drug resistance compared with the usage of cisplatin individually. Taken together, our research indicated an H19-miR-107-HMGB1 axis in regulating the autophagy-induced drug resistance in LSCC in vitro and in vivo, providing novel targets for molecular-targeted therapy and broadening the research for LSCC.

Abstract
Nilotinib has been used as a third-line drug for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) after a failure of sunitinib. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of nilotinib in different genomic subtypes of GISTs. We searched the English articles through EMBASE, Cochrane Library and PubMed Database regarding to the use of nilotinib on GISTs, which published up to February 15, 2019. Inclusion criteria were: GISTs patients received nilotinib in a clinical trial and had detailed genetic subtype records (such as KIT exon 9, KIT exon 11, or PDGFRA mutations, or wild-type). The clinical benefit rate was used to assess the efficacy of nilotinib. A total of 3 studies involving 218 GISTs were included in this meta-analysis. The overall OR (KIT group vs WT group) was 3.26 (95% CI: 1.14-9.28; P = 0.027, Pheterogeneity = 0.613). The overall OR in KIT exon 11 group vs WT group was 5.30 (95% CI: 1.79-15.68; P = 0.003, Pheterogeneity = 0.409). The overall OR in KIT exon 9 group vs WT group was 0.13 (95% CI: 0.02-0.86; P = 0.035, Pheterogeneity = 0.229). The overall OR in KIT exon 11 group vs exon 9 group was 9.96 (95% CI: 0.39-254.66; P < 0.0001, Pheterogeneity = 0.024). Different genotypes of GISTs showed different responses to nilotinib, and KIT exon 11-mutant GISTs mostly benefited from nilotinib, followed by KIT exon 9-mutant or WT one.

Abstract
In recent years, the overall incidence of gastric cancer has been decreasing worldwide, while the incidence of the esophagogastric junction tumor is increasing year by year. With the progress of the diagnostic technology of upper gastrointestinal tumors and the gradual popularization of early cancer screening, the detection rate of early esophagogastric junction tumor keeps increasing. Therefore, in recent years, the clinical application of gastric function preserving surgery is gradually increasing. As an important part of the surgical treatment strategy of esophagogastric junction tumors, proximal gastrectomy has attracted more and more attention with the confirmation of oncological safety. Compared with total gastrectomy, patients after proximal gastrectomy have better nutritional status and quality of life. However, the high incidence of reflux esophagitis after traditional proximal gastrectomy has seriously affected the quality of life of patients, and also hindered the application of proximal gastrectomy in esophagogastric junction tumors. How to reduce the occurrence of reflux esophagitis after proximal gastrectomy by optimizing the method of digestive tract reconstruction has been a big challenge in clinical practice. This article reviews the current methods of anti-reflux surgery for proximal gastrectomy for esophagogastric junction tumors, aiming to provide a reference for choosing a reasonable anti-reflux surgery.

Abstract
A simple and safe triangle-valve technique (TVT) was applied in proximal gastrectomy (PG) in order to prevent postoperative gastric reflux among patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG). The clinical outcomes were evaluated in comparison to those of canonical total gastrectomy (TG). This retrospective study of 74 AEG patients compared two surgical procedures, PG-TVT (n=44) and TG (n=30), in terms of surgical outcomes, postoperative complications and nutritional status. The Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ) was used to evaluate reflux esophagitis, and patients with an RDQ score of ≥12 points were diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The mean operative time was significantly shorter in the PG-TVT group (242.6 min) compared with that in the TG group (288.1 min). The overall postoperative complication rate did not differ significantly between the PG-TVT and TG groups. All the patients were followed up for 6 months, and none developed cancer recurrence in distant organs, gastric remnant, or lymph nodes. The GERD incidence was similar between the PG-TVT and TG groups. The mean levels of total protein and albumin within 6 months were significantly higher in the PG-TVT group compared with those in the TG group after adjustingtthe time effect and the interaction of time and surgical methods. The level of total protein significantly increased within 6 months in the PG-TVT group, but decreased in the TG group. Therefore, PG-TVT has several advantages over TG for patients with AEG, including a shorter operative time and better postoperative nutritional status, whereas the incidence of GERD was found to be similar between the two techniques.

Abstract
Objective:To explore the clinical feature and surgical treatment of patients with parapharyngeal space tumors. Method:A retrospective review of 214 cases with parapharygeal space tumors treated. The data on clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, pathological types, surgical approach, and postoperative complications were reviewed. Result:Of the 214 cases, the tumor was benign in nature in 135 cases(63.1%) and malignant in 79 cases(36.9%). There was no gender difference in the incidence of benign tumors, and the ratio of male to female was 1:1. The incidence of malignant tumors was higher in males than in females, and the ratio was 3.3:1. Regardless of benign and malignant tumors, the high incidence age is 40-59. Two-thirds of cases of parapharyngeal space tumors had different degrees of peripheral structural invasion. The most common cases involving the skull base were 76 cases(35.5%), followed by blood vessels and nerves, 24 cases(11.2%) and 16 cases(7.5%),respectively. Complications occurred in 65 patients(31.4%), the most common complications were hoarseness caused by X-cranial nerve palsy. Conclusion:There are various pathological types of parapharyngeal space tumors, and surgery is the first choice for parapharyngeal space tumors. The surgical plan should be made according to the imaging examinations, lesions, and the pathology et al. The risk of complications should be fully informed before the operation, and the cooperation of the patients should be obtained.

Abstract
Mesenteric fibromatosis is a locally invasive myofibroblastic proliferation and rarely metastasize to other organs. Hollow organ perforation and acute diffuse peritonitis caused by mesenteric fibromatosis rarely occurred. Here we report a case of huge mesenteric fibromatosis who complained a paroxysmal epigastric pain, and CT scan showed a huge mass, pneumoperitoneum and ascites. An urgent laparotomy showed an intro-abdominal mass and perforation locating at the jejunum. Postoperative histology confirmed it to be mesenteric fibromatosis. With one-year follow-up, the patient had no recurrence. We wish to share our treating experience of this interesting case because it did not belong to a typical type but presenting with acute diffuse peritonitis, and total resection and R0 margin is a key to treat acute case. This atypical one has not been reported in the literature till now.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE COVID-19 started spreading widely in China in January 2020. Outpatient fever clinics (FCs), instituted during the SARS epidemic in 2003, were upgraded to serve for COVID-19 screening and prevention of disease transmission in large tertiary hospitals in China. FCs were hoped to relieve some of the healthcare burden from emergency departments (EDs). We aimed to evaluate the effect of upgrading the FC system on rates of nosocomial COVID-19 infection and ED patient attendance at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH). DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS A total of 6365 patients were screened in the FC. METHODS The FC of PUMCH was upgraded on 20 January 2020. We performed a retrospective study of patients presenting to the FC between 12 December 2019 and 29 February 2020. The date when COVID-19 was declared an outbreak in Beijing was 20 January 2020. Two groups of data were collected and subsequently compared with each other: the first group of data was collected within 40 days before 20 January 2020; the second group of data was collected within 40 days after 20 January 2020. All necessary data, including patient baseline information, diagnosis, follow-up conditions and the transfer records between the FC and ED, were collected and analysed. RESULTS 6365 patients were screened in the FC, among whom 2912 patients were screened before 21 January 2020, while 3453 were screened afterward. Screening results showed that upper respiratory infection was the major disease associated with fever. After the outbreak of COVID-19, the number of patients who were transferred from the FC to the ED decreased significantly (39.21% vs 15.75%, p<0.001), and patients generally spent more time in the FC (55 vs 203 min, p<0.001), compared with before the outbreak. For critically ill patients waiting for their screening results, the total length of stay in the FC was 22 min before the outbreak, compared with 442 min after the outbreak (p<0.001). The number of in-hospital deaths of critically ill patients in the FC was 9 out of 29 patients before the outbreak and 21 out of 38 after the outbreak (p<0.05). Nineteen cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the FC during the period of this study. However, no other patients nor any healthcare providers were cross-infected. CONCLUSION The workload of the FC increased significantly after the COVID-19 outbreak. New protocols regarding the use of FC likely helped prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the hospital. The upgraded FC also reduced the burden on the ED.

Abstract
Background Laparoscopic tumor-specific mesorectal excision (TSME) preserving the left colic artery and superior rectal artery is still a technically challenging procedure. We conducted this study to demonstrate the feasibility of this procedure for upper rectal cancer. Methods A total of 184 patients with upper rectal cancer were retrospectively analyzed in our cancer center between April 2010 and April 2017. These patients were treated with either laparoscopic TSME (n = 46) or laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) (n = 138). In the TSME group, the left colonic artery and superior rectal artery were preserved while they were not in the TME group. Results The operation time in the TSME group was longer than that in the TME group (218.56 ± 35.85 min vs. 201.13 ± 42.65 min, P = 0.004). Furthermore, the number of resected lymph nodes in the TSME group was greater than that in the TME group (19.43 ± 9.46 vs. 18.03 ± 7.43, P = 0.024). The blood loss between the TSME and TME groups was not significant. No mortality occurred in either the TSME or TME groups. One patient in the TME group underwent conversion to laparotomy. The total postoperative complication rates in the TSME and TME groups were 8.7% and 17.4%, respectively. There was no difference in severe complications between the two groups (anastomotic leakage and stenosis). Conclusions Laparoscopic TSME preserving the left colic artery and superior rectal artery can be safely conducted for upper rectal cancer.
