Abstract
The development and optimization of metal-based anticancer drugs with novel cytotoxic mechanisms have emerged as key strategies to overcome chemotherapeutic resistance and side effects. Agents that simultaneously induce ferroptosis and autophagic death have received extensive attention as potential modalities for cancer therapy. However, only a limited set of drugs or treatment modalities can synergistically induce ferroptosis and autophagic tumor cell death. In this work, we designed and synthesized four new cycloplatinated (II) complexes harboring an isoquinoline alkaloid C∧N ligand. On screening the in vitro activity of these agents, we found that Pt-3 exhibited greater selectivity of cytotoxicity, decreased resistance factors, and improved anticancer activity compared to cisplatin. Furthermore, Pt-3, which we demonstrate can initiate potent ferritinophagy-dependent ferroptosis, exhibits less toxic and better therapeutic activity than cisplatin in vivo. Our results identify Pt-3 as a promising candidate or paradigm for further drug development in cancer treatment.

Abstract
The photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into C2+ products such as ethylene is a promising path toward the carbon neutral goal but remains a big challenge due to the high activation barrier for CO2 and similar reduction potentials of many possible multi-electron-transfer products. Herein, an effective tandem photocatalysis strategy has been developed to support conversion of CO2 to ethylene by construction of the synergistic dual sites in rhenium-(I) bipyridine fac-[ReI(bpy)(CO)3Cl] (Re-bpy) and copper-porphyrinic triazine framework [PTF(Cu)]. With these two catalysts, a large amount of ethylene can be produced at a rate of 73.2 μmol g-1 h-1 under visible light irradiation. However, ethylene cannot be obtained from CO2 by use of either component of the Re-bpy or PTF(Cu) catalysts alone; with a single catalyst, only monocarbon product CO is produced under similar conditions. In the tandem photocatalytic system, the CO generated at the Re-bpy sites is adsorbed by the nearby Cu single sites in PTF(Cu), and this is followed by a synergistic C-C coupling process which ultimately produces ethylene. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the coupling process between PTF(Cu)-*CO and Re-bpy-*CO to form the key intermediate Re-bpy-*CO-*CO-PTF(Cu) is vital to the C2H4 production. This work provides a new pathway for the design of efficient photocatalysts for photoconversion of CO2 to C2 products via a tandem process driven by visible light under mild conditions.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the feasibility, safety, and short- and long-term efficacy of laparoscopic pelvic exenteration (LPE) in treating locally advanced rectal cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 173 patients who had undergone pelvic exenteration (PE) for locally advanced rectal cancer that had been shown by preoperative imaging or intraoperative exploration to have invaded beyond the mesorectal excision plane and adjacent organs in the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (n=64) and Peking University First Hospital (n=109) from 2010 January to 2021 December were collected retrospectively. Laparoscopic PE (LPE) had been performed on 82 of these patients and open PE (OPE) on 91. Short- and long-term outcomes (1-, 3-, and 5-year overall and disease-free survival and 1- and 3-year cumulative local recurrence rates) were compared between these groups. Results: The only statistically significant difference in baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05) was administration of neoadjuvant therapy. Compared with OPE, LPE had a significantly shorter operative time (319.3±129.3 minutes versus 417.3±155.0 minutes, t=4.531, P<0.001) and less intraoperative blood loss (175 [20-2000] ml vs. 500 [20-4500] ml, U=2206.500, P<0.001). The R0 resection rates were 98.8% and 94.5%, respectively (χ2=2.355, P=0.214). At 18.3% (15/82), and the incidence of perioperative complications was lower in the LPE group than in the OPE group (37.4% [34/91], χ2=7.727, P=0.005). The rates of surgical site infection were 7.3% (6/82) and 23.1% (21/91) in the LPE and OPE group, respectively (χ2=8.134, P=0.004). The rates of abdominal wound infection were 0 and 12.1% (11/91) (χ2=10.585, P=0.001), respectively, and of urinary tract infection 0 and 6.6% (6/91) (χ2=5.601, P=0.030), respectively. Postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the LPE than OPE group (12 [4-60] days vs. 15 [7-87] days, U=2498.000, P<0.001). The median follow-up time was 40 (2-88) months in the LPE group and 59 (1-130) months in the OPE group. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 91.3%, 76.0%, and 62.5%, respectively, in the LPE group, and 91.2%, 68.9%, and 57.6%, respectively, in the OPE group. The 1, 3, and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 82.8%, 64.9%, and 59.7%, respectively, in the LPE group and 76.9%, 57.8%, and 52.7%, respectively, in the OPE group. The 1- and 3-year cumulative local recurrence rates were 5.1% and 14.1%, respectively, in the LPE group and 8.0% and 15.1%, respectively, in the OPE group (both P>0.05). Conclusions: In locally advanced rectal cancer patients, LPE is associated with shorter operative time, less intraoperative blood loss, fewer perioperative complications, and shorter hospital stay compared with OPE. It is safe and feasible without compromising oncological effect.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between gene polymorphism of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) and its ligand-specific human leukocyte antigen C (HLA-C) and Graves' disease (GD). Methods: Case-control study. A total of 118 unrelated GD patients (GD group) admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital from January 2011 to December 2017 and 108 age-and sex-matched healthy controls (healthy control group) were included. The KIR genotype and its ligand HLA-C allele were detected by polymerase chain reaction sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). The distribution of KIR/HLA-C gene combination in GD patients and control population was analyzed to explore its association with the occurrence of GD. Results: In GD group, there were 29 males and 89 females, aged (38±14) years. In the healthy control group, there were 28 males and 80 females, aged (37±13) years. Compared with the healthy control group, the occurrence frequency of HLA-Cw01 was higher in GD group[36.4%(43/118) vs 18.5%(20/108), P=0.003], and the occurrence frequency of HLA-Cw03 and HLA-Cw06 was lower in GD group[11.9%(14/118) vs 39.8%(43/108), P<0.001; 9.3%(11/118) vs 18.5%(20/108), P=0.045]. The frequency of KIR2DL1/HLA-C2 gene combination in GD group was lower than that in control group [17.8%(21/118) vs 34.3%(37/108), P=0.005]. Logistic regression analysis showed that KIR2DL1/HLA-C2 gene combination was a protective factor for GD occurrence (OR=0.308, 95%CI: 0.126-0.752, P=0.010). Conclusions: The polymorphism of KIR/HLA-C gene is related to GD. The low expression of KIR2DL1/HLA-C2 in GD patients may be a protective factor for GD.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the safety, feasibility and short-term efficacy of total laparoscopic loop ileostomy reversal in patients after resection of rectal cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 20 patients who underwent total laparoscopic loop ileoscopic loop ileostomy after radical resection of rectal cancer at Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, or Beijing Chaoyang District Sanhuan Cancer Hospital from October 2019 to June 2020 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Results: All patients had successfully underwent total laparoscopic ileostomy reversal without conversion to open surgery or discontinued operation. No perioperative related death cases were found. In the whole group, the median operation time was 97 (60-145) minutes and the median intraoperative blood loss was 20 (10-100) milliliters. The median Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was 1.9 (1-5) one day after the operation. Nobody needed to use additional analgesic drugs. The median time to grand activities was 25 (16-42) hours, the median time to flatus was 44 (19-51) hours, and the median hospitalization after operation was 6.9 (5-9) days. No patients underwent operation related complications such as operative incision infection, abdominal and pelvic infection, intestinal obstruction, anastomotic leakage, bleeding and so on. Conclusions: Total laparoscopic loop ileostomy reversal appears to be safe, feasible and with promising efficacy for selected patients.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of the neonates infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the Omicron outbreak in Shanghai 2022. Methods: In this retrospective case series study, all the 16 neonates with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection who were admitted to the neonatal unit in Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from March 1st to May 31st, 2022 were enrolled. Their epidemiological history, clinical manifestations, nucleic acid cycle threshold (Ct) value and outcomes were analyzed. Based on maternal vaccination, they were divided into vaccinated group and unvaccinated group. Rank sum test and Chi-square test were used for the comparison between the groups. Results: Among the 16 neonates, 10 were male, and 6 were female. All the infants were full-term. The infection was confirmed at the age of 12.5 (8.0, 20.5) days. All the neonates had a history of exposure to infected family members, and thus horizontal transmission was the primary mode. Four infants were asymptomatic, 12 were symptomatic, and there were no severe or critical cases. The most common clinical manifestation was fever (11 cases), with the highest temperature of 38.1 (37.9, 38.3) ℃ and a course of 1-5 days. Other clinical manifestations included nasal obstruction (3 cases), runny nose (2 cases), cough (2 cases), poor feeding (2 cases), vomiting (1 case), and mild tachypnea (1 case). The complete blood counts of all neonates were within the normal range, and the C-reactive protein increased slightly in 1 infant. Chest imaging was performed in 2 infants, showing mild focal exudative changes. Nucleic acid turned negative (Ct value ≥35) within 7-15 days after diagnosis. All neonates fully recovered after supportive treatment, and the length of hospitalization was 13 (10, 14) days. In the telephone follow-up 2 weeks after discharge for all 16 cases, no infant showed reoccurrence of clinical manifestations or nucleic acid reactivation. Maternal vaccination was not significantly correlated with symptomatic infection or the persistence of positive nucleic acid result in neonates (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Horizontal transmission is the primary mode for neonatal SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection. Neonatal infections are usually mild or asymptomatic, with good short-term outcomes. And their clinical manifestations and laboratory examinations are nonspecific.

Abstract
In recent years, natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) has been widely used in surgery of colorectal cancer. The rapid development of NOSES is mainly attributed to its own great advantages and values, including the reduction of surgical trauma, the acceleration of postoperative recovery and the reduction of adverse psychological reactions for patients. These advantages of NOSES are also important embodiment and perfect interpretation of the organ functional protection. Organ functional preservation is a hot topic in surgery today, and it is also an inevitable requirement for minimally invasive surgery. Essentially, NOSES and organ functional preservation are proposed in the same background, and the goals are highly compatible. NOSES is an important practitioner of organ functional preservation, and organ functional preservation is also the vane of the development of the theoretical system of NOSES. These two items complement each other and together constitute the important element in the development of modern minimally invasive surgery. In order to comprehensively discuss the relationship between NOSES and organ functional protection, we elaborate the important role and value of functional protection in NOSES from five key procedures of colorectal surgery, namely surgical approach, extent of resection, lymph node dissection, digestive tract reconstruction and specimen extraction.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the clinical characteristics of children with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection imported from Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted to collect the data including clinical manifestations, outcomes and vaccination of 107 children with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection imported from Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to be admitted to the designated referral hospital in Shanghai from February to March 2022. According to the occurrence of clinical symptoms, the cases were divided into asymptomatic group and symptomatic group. According to the age of diagnosis, the cases were divided into <3 years group, 3-<6 years group and 6-<18 years group, and the clinical manifestations in different age group were analyzed with t-test and Mann-Whitney rank-sum test. Besides, to analyze the effectiveness of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection in different age group, the cases aged 3-<18 years were also subdivided into unvaccinated group, 1-dose group and 2-dose group, and the relative risk (RR) was used to demonstrate the effectiveness. Results: Among the 107 cases, 66 were male and 41 were female, with infection age of 10 (5, 14) years. There were 29 cases in the asymptomatic group, and 78 cases in the symptomatic group, and no significant difference in the age of infection was observed between the 2 groups (11 (6, 14) vs. 10 (5, 14) years, Z=0.49, P>0.05). And there were no severe cases in symptomatic group. The length of hospitalization was (18±6) days, and was longer in symptomatic group than that in asymptomatic group ((19±6) vs. (16±7) d, t=0.17, P=0.030). Eight-two cases (76.6%) had a history of epidemiological exposure and, among whom, 81 cases (75.7%) were associated with household transmission. Among symptomatic group, 57 cases (73.1%) had fever and 20 cases (25.6%) had cough. Of the 74 cases undergoing chest CT examination, 17 cases (23.0%) showed mild abnormalities. Of the 83 cases who received the lab tests, 23 cases (27.7%) had white blood cell counts<4×109/L, 3 cases (3.6%) had C-reaction protein >8.0 mg/L, and 6 cases (7.2%) had slightly elevated aspartate transaminase and alanine aminotransferase. Among the 92 children aged 3-<18 years, 31 cases were unvaccinated, 34 cases received 1 dose, and 27 cases received 2 doses. The interval between the last vaccination and infection was 2.2 (0.6, 6.0) months; the interval between the last vaccination and infection in the 2-dose group was longer than that in 1-dose group (6.0 (4.5, 7.3) vs. 0.7 (0.3,2.0) months, Z=3.59, P<0.001).The risk of symptomatic infection was reduced by 45% (RR=0.55, 95% CI 0.35-0.87) with two-dose vaccination compared to non-vaccination in cases aged 3-<18 years. All these cases recovered completely. Conclusions: Children infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron are usually mild or asymptomatic. Household transmission is the main pattern of infection with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron in children. Two-dose SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in children aged 3-<18 years can provide partial protection against disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron.

Abstract
Rectal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, and surgery is the main treatment strategy. Disorders of bowel, anorectal and urogenital function remain common problems after total mesorectal resection (TME), which seriously decreases the quality of life of patients. Surgical nerve damage is one of the main causes of the complications, while TME with pelvic autonomic nerve preservation is an effective way to reduce the occurrence of adverse outcomes. Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) is a promising method to assist the surgeon to identify and protect the pelvic autonomic nerves. Nevertheless, the monitoring methods and technical standards vary, and the clinical use of IONM is still limited. This review aims to summarize the researches on IONM in rectal and pelvic surgery. The electrical nerve stimulation technique and different methods of IONM in rectal cancer surgery are introduced. Also, the authors discuss the limitations of current researches, including methodological disunity and lack of equipment, then prospect the future direction in this field.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the effect of peritoneum reconstruction on postoperative complications after laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer. Methods: Retrospective cohort study and propensity score matching were conducted. Case inclusion criteria: (1) pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma; (2) 18 to 80 years; (3) patients with middle to low rectal cancer undergoing laparoscopic LAR; (4) patients staging cT1-4aN0-2M0 or ycT1-4aN0-2M0 after neoadjuvant therapy; (5) the distance of 4-10 cm from tumor low margin to anal verge. Exclusion criteria: (1) abdominal surgery history (except appendicitis, cholecystitis, ectopic pregnancy); (2) anastomosis above the peritoneal reflection; (3) tumor distant metastasis or clinical staging of T4b during surgery; (4) conversion to open surgery; (5) severe incapacitating disease (American Society of Anesthesiologists classification IV or V, ASA). A total of 666 patients with middle to low rectal cancer undergoing laparoscopic LAR in The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 2017 to June 2020 were enrolled. There were 473 males and 193 females with the median age of 59 (18-80) years. Laparoscopic LAR with peritoneum reconstruction was performed in 188 cases (PR group), and laparoscopic LAR without peritoneum reconstruction was performed in 478 cases (NPR group). After 1:1 propensity score matching according to 1:1 based on age, gender, body mass index, TNM staging, ASA classification, intraoperative blood loss, distance from tumor low margin to anal edge, 153 cases were included in each group. Postoperative complications were classified according to Clavien-Dindo classification. Anastomotic leakage was defined and graded according to the International Study Group of Rectal Cancer (ISGRC) criteria. Results: After propensity score matching, there were no significant differences in baseline demographic characteristics between the 2 groups (all P>0.05), indicating that these two groups were comparable. (1) Operative conditions: All the patients in both groups completed operation successfully. Compared with the NPR group, the PR group had longer operation time [(181.3±60.3) minutes vs. (168.9±51.5) minutes, t=2.185, P=0.029], shorter postoperative median hospital stay [8 (7, 10) days vs. 9 (7, 11) days, Z=-2.282, P=0.022], and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). (2) Postoperative complications: The overall morbidity of postoperative complication in PR group and NPR group was 20.3% (31/153) and 24.2% (37/153) respectively, and the incidence of anastomotic leakage was 9.8% (15/153) and 11.1%(17/153) respectively, whose differences were not statistically significant (both P>0.05). Compared with NPR group, PR group had lower morbidity of grade III to IV complications [3.9% (6/153) vs. 11.1% (17/153), χ(2)=5.688, P=0.017] and lower secondary operation rate [1.3% (2/153) vs. 5.9% (9/153), χ(2)=4.621, P=0.032], the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). Though PR group had lower incidence of grade C anastomoic leakage [1.3% (2/153) vs. 3.9% (6/153), χ(2)=2.054, P=0.152], but the differences were not statistically significant. (3) Postoperative inflammation: The difference of the procalcitonin level of both PR and NPR groups at postoperative 1-d, 3-d, and 5-d was statistically significant (F=5.222, P=0.010) in time-dependent manner, while the difference was not significant in the interaction effect (P>0.05). No statistically significant differences in the C-reactive protein level between two groups at postoperative 1-d, 3-d, and 5-d were found (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Peritoneum reconstruction in laparoscopic LAR can decrease the morbidity of postoperative complication of grade III to IV and the reoperation rate, and plays an important role in controlling the inflammatory reaction, which has great clinical value.

Abstract
In the past, people summarized and invented a series of surgical procedures for the treatment of colorectal cancer after continuous thinking and exploration. Some of these surgical procedures, such as Miles, Dixon, and Hartmann procedures, are considered to be classic and still in use today. In general, the surgical development has gone through roughly four stages: palliative surgery, radical surgery, extended radical surgery, and tumor functional surgery. As far as the surgical procedure of colorectal surgery is concerned, it mainly includes five elements: surgical approach, intestinal segment resection, degree of lymph node dissection, digestive tract reconstruction, and specimen removal. Only by fully understanding the five elements of surgical procedures and seeking for variables from them can innovation be achieved and benefit patients. This article will discuss the evolution of colorectal surgery according to development of medicine and surgery. "Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall." Only by correctly understanding history can we objectively understand the nature of things and the laws of their development. This is true for humans, and it is true for medicine.

Metabolic and residual characteristic of different arsenic species contained in laver during mouse digestion. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 793:148434. [PMID: 34171799 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.148434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Revised: 06/06/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Laver is one of the major arsenic contributors to human diets. The study on metabolic and residual characteristic of each arsenic species contained in laver is important to scientifically assess the intake risk of arsenic in the laver. The metabolic and residual characteristic of main arsenic species in laver, namely arsenate [As(V)], dimethylarsinic acid [DMA(V)] and two arsenosugars, was investigated by mouse experiments in this study. The results showed that the intake of higher-dose laver did not lead to a notable increase of As(V) concentration in mouse muscle/organs and feces. In contrast, DMA(V) excretion in feces and DMA(V) residue in muscle/organs showed a close correlation with laver-dose intake. Most DMAsSugarMethoxy was translated into other arsenic species and then was together excreted out via mouse feces; two dominant arsenic species, arsenosugar DMAsSugarMethoxy and DMAsSugarPhosphate, were not detected in mouse muscle/organs after 20-Day or 30-Day feeding whether in lower-dose laver groups containing 1/36 (mass ratio) of the laver in mouse feed or higher-dose laver groups containing 1/6 (mass ratio) of the laver in mouse feed. About 65-77% of total arsenic digested by mouse was excreted out via feces; only 0.12-0.78% of it was accumulated in mouse organs/muscle. The results of this study provided valuable knowledge for comprehending the stability and metabolic characteristics of different arsenic species from Fujian laver in vivo, also for more scientifically assessing the intake risk of arsenic in laver.

Abstract
Water oxidation to molecular oxygen is indispensable but a challenge for splitting H2O. In this work, a series of Co-based metal-organic cages (MOCs) for photoinduced water oxidation were prepared. MOC-1 with both bis(μ-oxo) bridged dicobalt and Co-O (O from H2O) displays catalytic activity with an initial oxygen evolution rate of 80.4 mmol/g/h and a TOF of 7.49 × 10-3 s-1 in 10 min. In contrast, MOC-2 containing only Co-O (O from H2O) in the structure results in a lower oxygen evolution rate (40.8 mmol/g/h, 4.78 × 10-3 s-1), while the amount of oxygen evolved from the solution of MOC-4 without both active sites is undetectable. Isotope experiments with or without H218O as the reactant successfully demonstrate that the molecular oxygen was produced from water oxidation. Photophysical and electrochemical studies reveal that photoinduced water oxidation initializes via electron transfer from the excited [Ru(bpy)3]2+* to Na2S2O8, and then, the cobalt active sites further donate electrons to the oxidized [Ru(bpy)3]3+ to drive water oxidation. This proof-of-concept study indicates that MOCs can work as potential efficient catalysts for photoinduced water oxidation.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effects of bevacizumab in the treatment of familial epistaxis caused by hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Methods: The data of 27 patients with familial epistaxis caused by HHT who were treated with bevacizumab intravenously from Beijing Anzhen Hospital, the First Clinical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital and Binzhou Central Hospital between December 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 14 males and 13 females, aged (55.3±11.2) years. The dose of bevacizumab was calculated according to the body weight of 5 mg/kg. The curative effect was observed one month after the first treatment. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to compare patients' self-scores of systemic symptoms before and after treatment. Epistaxis severity score (ESS) was used to compare and analyze the six problems (including the frequency, duration, intensity, treatment demand, anemia and blood transfusion) of the patients before and after treatment. The changes of hemoglobin levels before and after treatment were compared. SPSS 20.0 statistical software was used to process the data. Results: Among the 27 patients at one month after the first bevacizumab treatment, 22 cases reported that the severity of epistaxis was improved significantly, and 5 cases reported that the treatment effect was not significant. The effective rate was 81.5% (22/27). The significant effect in 22 patients lasted for 5-24 months, with a median duration of 11.23 months. The VAS score of systemic symptoms decreased significantly compared with that before treatment (2.41±2.55 vs 8.19±1.47, t=9.708, P<0.01). The scores of six aspects and standardized scores of ESS were significantly decreased after treatment (epistaxis frequency: 1.78±1.22 vs 3.44±0.80, t=6.814, P<0.01; epistaxis duration: 0.85±0.91 vs 3.00±0.73, t=8.845, P<0.01; epistaxis intensity: 0.19±0.40 vs 1.00±0.00, t=10.696, P<0.01; treatment demand: 0.22 ± 0.42 vs 1.00±0.00, t=9.539, P<0.01; anemia: 0.41±0.50 vs 0.89±0.32, t=4.914, P<0.01; blood transfusion: 0.11±0.32 vs 0.41±0.50, t=3.309, P<0.01; ESS standardized score: 2.50±2.45 vs 7.60±1.30, t=9.344, P<0.01). The hemoglobin level after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment ((105.48±24.31) g/L vs (73.07±23.71) g/L, t=6.864, P<0.01). Among the 27 patients, there were 8 cases of HHT1 (ENG gene) and 19 cases of HHT2 (ACVRL1 gene). The improvement duration of epistaxis in group HHT1 and group HHT2 was (4.76±5.12) months and (7.60±10.84) months, respectively, which was in group HHT2 longer than that of group HHT1, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in ESS scores between the two groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). Two female patients had amenorrhea after the first medication. All patients had no other adverse reactions and complications. Conclusion: Intravenous bevacizumab is significantly effective and safe in the treatment of familial epistaxis caused by HHT.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the safety and feasibility of using fusion indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (FIGFI) technique for intraoperative evaluation of colorectal perfusion in the totally laparoscopic left colectomy. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect the clinical data of 58 patients with left colon cancer who underwent totally laparoscopic surgery at the Colorectal Surgery Department, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October 2016 to December 2019. There were 39 males and 19 females, aging (57.0±10.1)years(range:28 to 75 years). According to whether the FIGFI was used during the operation, they were divided into 36 cases in the study group and 22 cases in the control group. The clinical pathological characteristics, operative and postoperative recovery of the two groups were compared by t test, χ2 test, and Fisher exact test. Results: All the 58 patients underwent R0 resection with totally laparoscopic surgery. In the study group, due to poor bowel blood flow after cutting the mesentery (Sherwinter score = 1), 1 patient had to be expanded the resection range until the blood flow was rich(Sherwinter score≥3), and 1 patient in the control group had the complication of postoperative anastomotic leakage of grade A. Compared with the control group, the operation time in the study group was shorter ((156.3±43.5) minutes vs. (180.4±41.3) minutes, t=-2.083, P=0.042). However, there were no significant differences in the amount of blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative time of anal exhaust, length of bowel resection, number of lymph nodes dissected, and in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups. Median follow-up period was 23 months (range: 18 to 37 months). There were no long-term postoperative complications such as ischemic enteritis and anastomotic stenosis in both groups. Conclusions: The FIGFI is safe and feasible to assess the blood supply of intestinal segment and anastomosis during totally laparoscopic left hemicolectomy, and is easy to operate. It is expected to reduce the incidence of anastomotic leakage.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the clinical features of liver involvement in children and adolescent with 2019-nCoV infection. Methods: The clinical data of 77 hospitalized cases admitted to the Children's Hospital of Fudan University were collected from January 19 to November 28, 2020. The characteristics and risk factors of abnormal liver chemistries in children with laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV infection were analyzed. Results: Of the 77 cases, 44 were male (57.1%) and 33 were female (42.9%), with a median age of 10 years. 27(35.1%) were asymptomatic, 28(36.4%) had mild illness, 22(28.6%)had non-severe pneumonia. Hydroxychloroquine was used in 7 cases. Of the 75 children without underlying diseases, alanine aminotransferase was elevated in 1 case (1.5%, during hydroxychloroquine therapy), aspartate aminotransferase was elevated in 7 cases (10.3%), alkaline phosphatase was elevated in 7 cases (28%), and total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, albumin, international normalized ratio were in normal range. There was no statistical difference between the pneumonia group and the non-pneumonia group in term of liver chemistries (P > 0.05), same as between the elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate group and the normal group. There was no aggravation of liver injury in the child with biliary atresia. The child with epilepsy showed no abnormal liver chemistries after infection. Conclusion: Children with 2019-nCoV infection had mild clinical symptoms with few cases of liver injury. The abnormal liver chemistries in children with COVID-19 infection may be related to the underlying disease and the use of antiviral drugs.

Abstract
In the past 30 years, minimally invasive surgery has been greatly improved with the development of the energy platform, instrument platform, and imaging platform. Taking colorectal cancer surgery as an example, the five elements of surgical procedure have developed to a certain extent. The surgical approach has undergone a process from large to small. The range of resection ranges from simple bowel resection to radical resection/extended radical resection, and then to surgery that focuses on preserving organ function. With the recognition of the direction of normal lymphatic drainage and the characteristics of tumor lymphatic metastasis, lymph node dissection has been gradually standardized. The reconstruction of the digestive tract has changed from manual sutures to full endoscopic anastomosis, and then to the concept of functional anastomosis. The removal of the specimen has improved from large incision through the abdominal wall, to small laparoscopic incision, and then to the natural cavity. The evolution of these procedures depends on the advancement of technology platforms and equipment, and the recognition of new concepts. The development of minimally invasive platform must be in the direction of ensuring the implementation of the most optimized surgical approach. The platform is more secure, integrated, multifunctional, and intelligent. In the future, minimally invasive procedures must be aimed at maximizing the benefits of patients. The procedures are more scientific, functional, comfortable and diverse. Surgical innovation has promoted the development of the platform. The platform and the surgical procedure promote each other's development.

[Short-term efficacy of preservation versus non-preservation of inferior mesenteric artery in laparoscopic-assisted radical resection for left hemicolon cancer]. ZHONGHUA WEI CHANG WAI KE ZA ZHI = CHINESE JOURNAL OF GASTROINTESTINAL SURGERY 2020; 23:1074-1080. [PMID: 33212556 DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.441530-20191124-00495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Objective: In laparoscopic-assisted left hemicolectomy, previous studies have suggested that preserving the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) may improve intestinal blood flow and reduce the incidence of anastomotic leakage. However, whether IMA should be retained is controversial currently. This study aims to investigate the short-term efficacy of the inferior mesenteric artery preservation (IMAP) and the inferior mesenteric artery resection (IMAR) on the laparoscopic-assisted radical resection of left hemicolon cancer. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect the clinical data of 195 patients with left colon cancer who underwent laparoscopic surgery in the Colorectal Surgery Department of Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October 2012 to February 2019. After D3 radical resection for left semicolon cancer, they were divided into the IMAR group (91 cases), and the IMAP group (104 cases). In IMAR group, the left colon artery (LCA) and 1-2 branches of sigmoid artery (SA) were identified about 5 cm away from the root of the IMA, then the main IMA trunk was transected at the distal end. In IMAP group, the main trunk of IMA was dissected and the lymph nodes around IMA were cleaned. After the LCA and the first branch of SA (SA1) were separated, the LCA and SA1 were closed and cut off at the root. The intraoperative and postoperative data were compared between two groups, including the morbidity of complications within 30 days after operation, postoperative follow-up recovery, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, number of harvested lymph nodes, length of specimens, postoperative passage of gas and hospital stay. Results: The operation was successfully completed in all the cases without any death related to the operation. Compared with the IMAP group, the operation time was shorter [(161.8±48.0) minutes vs. (182.9±49.4) minutes, t=2.985, P=0.003], the intraoperative blood loss was less [(38.5±30.8) ml vs.(52.9±32.2) ml, t=2.088, P=0.038], the length of the resected bowel was longer [(19.2±6.0) cm vs.(17.2±5.4) cm, t=-2.447, P=0.015] in the IMAR group, whose differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the number of harvested lymph nodes, time of postoperative passage of gas and postoperative hospital stay between two groups (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in overall morbidity of postoperative complications between the two group [6/91 (6.6%) vs. 7/104 (6.7%), χ(2)=0.001, P=0.969]. In the IMAR group, one case developed postoperative abdominal infection, two cases developed incision infection, one case developed lung infection, two cases developed intestinal obstruction, and no anastomotic bleeding occurred. In IMAP group, one case developed postoperative lung infection, one case developed incision infection, one case developed abdominal bleeding, two cases developed intestinal obstruction and two cases developed anastomotic bleeding. There was no anastomotic leakage in either group. All complications were treated by conservative treatment successfully. After a median follow-up of 12 (range 3-24) months, patients in the two groups had good intestinal blood supply after surgery, and there was no clear manifestation of congestive or ischemic enteritis under colonoscopy. Conclusion: Laparoscopic-assisted left hemicolectomy with IMA resection in patients with left hemicolon cancer provides better short-term efficacy safely and feasibly, including shorter operative time, less intraoperative bleeding and without increasing postoperative complications.

Bosonic Bott Index and Disorder-Induced Topological Transitions of Magnons. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2020; 125:217202.

Abstract
We investigate the role of disorder on the various topological magnonic phases present in deformed honeycomb ferromagnets. To this end, we introduce a bosonic Bott index to characterize the topology of magnon spectra in finite, disordered systems. The consistency between the Bott index and Chern number is numerically established in the clean limit. We demonstrate that topologically protected magnon edge states are robust to moderate disorder and, as anticipated, localized in the strong regime. We predict a disorder-driven topological phase transition, a magnonic analog of the "topological Anderson insulator" in electronic systems, where the disorder is responsible for the emergence of the nontrivial topology. Combining the results for the Bott index and transport properties, we show that bulk-boundary correspondence holds for disordered topological magnons. Our results open the door for research on topological magnonics as well as other bosonic excitations in finite and disordered systems.

Facile Top-Down Strategy for Direct Metal Atomization and Coordination Achieving a High Turnover Number in CO 2 Photoreduction. J Am Chem Soc 2020; 142:19259-19267.

Abstract
Developing unique single atoms as active sites is vitally important to boosting the efficiency of photocatalytic CO2 reduction, but directly atomizing metal particles and simultaneously adjusting the configuration of individual atoms remain challenging. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy at a relatively low temperature (500 °C) to access the in situ metal atomization and coordination adjustment via the thermo-driven gaseous acid. Using this strategy, the pyrolytic gaseous acid (HCl) from NH4Cl could downsize the large metal particles into corresponding ions, which subsequently anchored onto the surface defects of a nitrogen-rich carbon (NC) matrix. Additionally, the low-temperature treatment-induced C═O motifs within the interlayer of NC could bond with the discrete Fe sites in a perpendicular direction and finally create stabilized Fe-N4O species with high valence status (Fe3+) on the shallow surface of the NC matrix. It was found that the Fe-N4O species can achieve a highly efficient CO2 conversion when accepting energetic electrons from both homogeneous and heterogeneous photocatalysts. The optimized sample achieves a maximum turnover number (TON) of 1494 within 1 h in CO generation with a high selectivity of 86.7% as well as excellent stability. Experimental and theoretical results unravel that high valence Fe sites in Fe-N4O species can promote the adsorption of CO2 and lower the formation barrier of key intermediate COOH* compared with the traditional Fe-N4 moiety with lower chemical valence. Our discovery provides new points of view in the construction of more efficient single-atom cocatalysts by considering the optimization of the atomic configuration for high-performance CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the cognitive impairment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and it's relationship with sleep-related respiratory indexes. Methods: A total of 126 patients who were diagnosed with OSA and received treatment in the Sichuan Mental Health Center from March 2018 to September 2018 were selected as the OSA group, and 92 healthy volunteers with matched age, gender and education level were also recruited as the control group. All participants were assessed by polysomnography and the montreal cognitive assessment scale (MOCA). Results: (1) The total score of MOCA, visual space/executive function score, attention score, language function score and memory score in OSA group were significantly lower than those in the control group (23±4 vs 25±4, 2.0±1.7 vs 2.9±1.5, 5.4±1.0 vs 5.7±0.7, 2.7±0.6 vs 2.9±0.3, 2.6±1.4 vs 3.0±1.4, all P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that MOCA score was in positive correlation with education level (r=0.585, P<0.001) and mean oxygen saturation (r=0.207, P=0.020). However, the MOCA score was in negative correlation with age (r=-0.564, P<0.001) and time in bed (TIB) (r=-0.205, P=0.021). There was no correlation between MOCA score and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (r=-0.006, P=0.949). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age (t=-4.133, P<0.001), education level (t=4.001, P<0.001) and mean oxygen saturation (t=2.036, P=0.044) were the major factors that contributed to the cognitive impairment of OSA patients. Conclusions: Patients with OSA have cognitive impairment. The impairment gets more obvious when more severe hypoxia occurs at night, but it's not related to AHI.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risk factors of severe postoperative complications in elderly patients with colorectal cancer aged over 80 years old. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted to collect and analyze the clinicopathological data of patients (≥80 years old) who underwent radical colorectal cancer surgery at department of Colorectal Surgery, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from January 2010 to December 2018. A total of 269 patients were included in the study, including 160 males and 109 females. The average age was 83 (80-94) years. Among them, the pathological TNM stage was 16 in stage I, 76 in stage II, 167 in stage III, and 10 in stage IV. According to Clavien-Dindo classification, the postoperative complications of grade III and above were defined as serious complications. To analyze the relationship between the patient's clinical data, such as general information, the surgeon's experience (whether to complete more than 500 radical colorectal cancer surgery), intraoperative conditions and the occurrence of severe complications. Univariate analysis was conducted with the chi-squared test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used for statistically significant variables in univariate analysis. Results: Of the 269 patients, 34 (12.6%) had severe complications after surgery. The incidence of postoperative complications ranged from high to low, respectively, for pulmonary infection (8/269,3.0%), intestinal obstruction (8/269, 3.0%) and anastomotic leakage (7/269, 2.6%). One patient died of pulmonary embolism and one patient died of multiple organ failure, with a perioperative mortality rate of 0.7% (2/269). On univariate analysis, the occurrence of severe postoperative complications was associated with age (χ(2)=8.181, P=0.004), American society of anesthesiologists grade (χ(2)=7.945, P=0.005), preoperative albumin level (χ(2)=9.088, P=0.003), operation experience (χ(2)=9.395, P=0.002). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥85 years old (OR=4.415, 95% CI: 1.702-11.453, P=0.080), preoperative albumin <35 g/L (OR=2.544, 95%CI: 1.083-5.974, P=0.032), and less-experieced group (OR=2.475, 95% CI:1.082-5.661, P=0.032) was independent risk factor for severe postoperative complications. The incidence of serious postoperative complications was similar in patients undergoing laparoscopy and laparotomy [10.1% (17/169) vs. 17.0% (17/100), χ(2)=2.741, P=0.098]. Conclusion: Adequate preoperative evaluation, appropriate perioperative nutritional support and experienced specialists are the key factors to ensure the successful perioperative period of elderly patients with colorectal cancer aged over 80 years old. In addition, more attention should be paid to the elderly patients aged ≥85 years.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety, feasibility and short-term efficacy of totally laparoscopic left colectomy for left colon cancer by using overlapped delta-shaped anastomosis technique for digestive tract reconstruction. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect the clinical data of 86 patients with left colon cancer who underwent laparoscopic surgery in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October, 2017 to February, 2019. The patients were divided into totally laparoscopic left-sided colectomy (TLLC) (treatment group, n=25 cases) and laparoscopic-assisted left-sided colectomy (LALC) (control group, n=61 cases). The intraoperative and postoperative data were compared between the two groups. Results: There were no surgical-related deaths in both groups. All the patients in the TLLC group underwent laparoscopic resection, while one patient in the LALC group transfer to open surgery. The operation time in TLLC group and LALC group were (164.5±42.3) min and (171.0±43.1) min, respectively, without statistically significant difference (P=0.516). However, the intraoperative blood loss of patients in the TLLC group was (36.4±22.7) ml, which was significantly less than (52.9±32.2) ml in the LALC group (P=0.026). The anastomosis time in the TLLC group was (39.1±6.5) min, which was significantly longer than (24.9±5.4) min in the LALC group (P<0.001). Postoperative exhaust time in the TLLC group was (2.6±0.5) days, which was significantly shorter than (3.3±0.8) days in the LALC group (P<0.001). The incision length in the TLLC group was (4.2±2.2) cm, significantly shorter than (7.0±2.5) cm in the LALC group (P<0.001). The length of the resected bowel was (21.0±7.3) cm in the TLLC group, which was significantly longer than (17.5±5.4) cm in the LALC group (P=0.037). The length of hospital stay in the TLLC group was (6.2±1.9) days, which was significantly shorter than (7.9±1.5) days in the LALC group (P<0.001). The incidences of postoperative complications in the TLLC group and LALC group were 0 and 4.9% (3/61), respectively, without statistically significant (P=0.553). No anastomotic complications occurred in both groups. During the follow-up period, neither group of patients was hospitalized again, and no tumor metastasis or recurrence occurred. Conclusions: It is safe and feasible to apply the TLLC with overlapped delta-shaped anastomosis in patients with left colon cancer. It has better short-term effects such as shorter incisions, faster recovery, and shorter postoperative hospital stays, and is worthy of further promotion.

Abstract
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are relatively rare heterogeneous tumors that originate from peptidergic neurons and neuroendocrine cells and have been referred to as "carcinoids" in the past. Although this type of tumor had been previously considered to be indolent tumor with a low degree of malignancy, with the development of medicine and clinical study, researchers found that NENs had the potential to metastasize. They can occur in any part of the body where neuroendocrine cells are distributed and gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) are the most common type of NENs.Due to the improvement of techniques such as endoscopy and imaging, the incidence of rectal neuroendocrine tumors(R-NENs) and the number of related clinical researches have both increased significantly in recent years. Although researches in Chinese and foreign medical centers are mostly retrospective studies of small samples and the efficacies of different treatment methods are still under debating and lack of sufficient medical evidence to support, the diagnosis and treatment of this disease is gradually becoming standardized according to the proposal of corresponding guidelines. The recent advances in the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms are reviewed in this paper.

Abstract
Streamline simulation in groundwater flow modeling is a time-consuming process when a large number of streamlines are analyzed. We develop a parallelization method on graphics processing units (GPUs) for the semi-analytical particle tracking algorithm developed by Pollock (1988). Compute Unified Device Architecture was used to implement the parallel method. Forward and backward tracking of a streamline is handled by an individual thread. A GPU includes a grid of blocks where a block handles 32 threads. We use multi-GPUs to accelerate streamline tracking in a flow model with millions of particles. The method was examined to simulate streamlines for identifying three-dimensional (3D) flow systems in a Tóthian basin. The speedup exceeds 1000 when 8 NVIDIA GPUs are used to simulate 5 million or more streamlines.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the sagittal and torsional changes in the tibia after a medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) and their correlation with the corrective angle of proximal tibial coronal plane. Methods: A prospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent OWHTO at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Emergency Medical Center from March 2019 to July 2019.The operation were performed by the same surgeon. X-ray and CT were performed before and 3 days after the operation. The mechanical axis angle (mFTA), medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), posterior tibial slope (PTS) and tibial torsion angle (TTA) were measured and compared by paired t-test. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between the changes of PTS and TTA and the correction angle of MPTA. Results: A total of 13 patients (19 knees) were recruited. There were 9 males (13 knees) and 4 females (6 knees), aged (39.4±14.4) years (range:20 to 60 years). The mFTA improved from (8.1±2.8) degrees preoperatively to (-1.4±1.6) degrees postoperatively (t=14.819, P=0.000). The MPTA was changed from (81.1±2.4) degrees pre-operatively to (90.4±3.4) degrees postoperatively (t=-15.579, P=0.000). The PTS decreased from (79.6±3.2) degrees to (76.8±3.1) degrees (t=9.709, P=0.000). The differences of mFTA, MPTA and PTS were statistically significant. There was no significant difference in TTA between before and after operation ((28.2±1.5) ° vs. (27.3±6.3) °,t=1.925, P=0.070). There was no correlation between the correction angle of MPTA and the change of PTS and TTA (r=0.384, P=0.105; r=0.321, P=0.181). Conclusions: Even if the intra-operative measures were used to control tibial slope, the PTS still increased significantly after OWHTO, while the TTA has no significant change. No correlation was seen between the change of sagittal and torsional and the corrective angle of proximal tibial coronal plane.

Abstract
The itinerary of Bernard Rhodes S. J. (1646-1715), temporal coadjutor of the Society of Jesus and missionary in China, is of remarkable complexity. He was already a doctor before he was recruited by the Jesuit order and sent on various missions. During the nine years before his arrival in China, his route between Europe and Asia was largely determined by rivalries between European powers. When he eventually arrived in Beijing in 1699 and entered the service of the Kangxi Emperor, he became attached to the Imperial House, and this seems to have decisively determined the course of his itineraries in the Middle Kingdom henceforth. Following his movements in the capital and in the emperor's cortege during imperial tours gives us unique insights into the mobility of this Jesuit medical practitioner. In the service of the Manchu rule, he provided therapies-unknown to Chinese palace physicians and their medical traditions-to privileged patients belonging to the core imperial networks. In the medical pluralistic setting as it existed at the court and was instrumentalized by the Manchu ruler for ideological purposes, Rhodes was in competition not only with experts of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, but also with Mongolian doctor and Lama therapists. His career in the Qing empire illustrates that the presence in Beijing of doctors trained in Europe was not enough to ensure the transmission of the specific knowledge they held. Medical matters reveal to be an important case study in which Western language sources, combined with those in Chinese and especially in Manchu, provide us with a deeper understanding of courtly live and the function of medicine in consolidating Manchu rule during the Kangxi reign. Thus, the study of the biography of Rhodes, one of the marginal actors in the emperor's service, and the tracing of his itineraries is a complementary contribution to New Qing History, with its emphasis on exploring non-Chinese voices.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the technical characteristics and short-term clinical efficacy of robotic-assisted intersphincteric resection (ISR) for patients with low rectal cancer. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was used. Inclusion criteria: (1) rigid colonoscopy showed lower margin of the tumor ≤5 cm from the anal verge; (2) preoperative rectal MRI or endorectal ultrasound revealed staging T1-2, or T3 patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy; (3) patients less than 70 years old with good function of anal sphincter before surgery; (4) no synchronous multiple primary carcinoma, and no distant metastasis; (5) the method of operation was agreed by the patient. Exclusion criteria: (1) T4 stage tumors; (2) sphincter dysfunction before operation; (3) recurrent tumors; (4) lower edge of tumors beyond the dentate line; (5) death due to non-rectal cancer during follow-up and unsatisfactory follow-up data. The clinical data of 21 patients with low rectal cancer meeting inclusion criteria undergoing robotic-assisted ISR at our department from January 2015 to June 2018 were collected. Parameters during and after operation were observed. Anorectal manometry was performed at 3, 6, and 12 months after the operation, and anal function was evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months after the closure of the stoma by Kirwan classification and Wexner fecal incontinence score. The key steps of the operation are as follows: according to the principle of total mesorectal excision, the robot continued to enter into the levator ani hiatusdistally, and dissectin the sphincter space; according to the scope of sphincter resection, ISRwas divided into partial ISR, subtotal ISR, and total ISR; subtotal and total ISR usually needed to be combined with transanal pathway. The reconstruction of digestive tract was performed by double stapler anastomosis under laparoscope orhand-sewnanastomosis under direct vision, and preventive ileostomy was completed in the right lower abdomen. Results: Of 21 patients, 13 were male and 8 were female with mean age of (57.5±16.3) years. All the patients successfully completed the operation without conversion to laparotomy. Fourteen cases (66.7%) adopted partial ISR through complete transabdominal approach, 6 cases (28.6%) adopted the subtotal ISR through combined transabdominal and transanal approachs, and 1 case (4.8%) adopted the total ISR through the combined transabdominal and transanal approachs. The total operation time was (213.1±56.3) minutes, including (27.3±5.4) minutes for mechanical arm installation and (175.7±51.6) minutes for robotic operation. The amount of intraoperative hemorrhage was (62.8±23.2) ml, and no blood transfusion was performed in any patient. All patients underwent prophylactic ileostomy, and the stoma was closed 3-6 months after the operation. Except one case of anastomotic leakage, all other stomas were closed successfully. The postoperative hospitalization time was (7.6±2.2) days, and time to fluid intake was (3.3±0.9) days. One case of anastomotic leakage, one case of anastomotic stenosis, one case of inflammatory external hemorrhoids and one case of urinary retention occurred after surgery,and all of them were cured by conservative treatment. The mean diameter of tumors was (2.9±1.2) cm, and the number of harvested lymph node was 12.8 ± 3.3. In the whole group, the circumcision margin was negative, the proximal margin was (12.2 ± 2.1) cm, the distal margin was (1.1 ± 0.4) with all negative, and the R0 resection rate was 100%. The results of anorectal manometry showed that the preoperative rest pressure, rectal maximum squeeze pressure, initial sensory volume and maximum tolerated volume were (45.19±8.46) mmHg, (128.18±18.80) mmHg, (44.33±10.11) ml and (119.00±19.28) ml, respectively;these parameters reduced significantly 3 months after operation and they were (23.44±5.54) mmHg, (93.72±12.15) mmHg, (17.72±5.32) ml and (70.44±10.9) ml, respectively. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). The resting pressure and the rectal maximum squeeze pressure returned to preoperative levels 12 months after operation, which were (39.33±6.64) mmHg and (120.58±16.47) mmHg, respectively (both P>0.05), while the initial sensory volume and the maximum tolerated volume failed to reach the preoperative state, which were (30.67±7.45) ml and (92.25±10.32) ml, respectively (both P<0.05). The patients were followed up for (22.1±10.6) months without local recurrence and distant metastasis. Eighteen patients were evaluated for anal function: Kirwan classification was grade I for 6 cases, grade II for 7 cases, grade III for 4 cases, and grade IV for 1 case; Wexner incontinence score was 8.6±0.8; 14 cases had good defecation control. Conclusion: The clinical efficacy of ISR with Da Vinci robot in the treatment of low rectal cancer is satisfactory.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the mechanisms underlying the protective effect of Chinese herbal medicine Fructus broussonetiae (FB) in both mouse and cell models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS APP/PS1 mice treated with FB for 2 months and vehicle-treated controls were run through the Morris water maze and object recognition test to evaluate learning and memory capacity. RNA-Seq, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining were also conducted to evaluate the effects of FB treatment on various signaling pathways altered in APP/PS1 mice. To further explore the mechanisms underlying FB's protective effect, PC-12 cells were treated with Aβ25-35 in order to establish an in vitro model of AD. RESULTS FB-treated mice showed improved learning and memory capacity on both the Morris water maze and object recognition tests. RNA-seq of hippocampal tissue from APP/PS1 mice showed that FB had effects on multiple signaling pathways, specifically decreasing cell apoptotic signaling and increasing AKT and β-catenin signaling. Similarly, FB up-regulated both AKT and β-catenin signaling in PC-12 cells pre-treated with Aβ25-35, in which AKT positively regulated β-catenin signaling. Further study showed that AKT promoted β-catenin signaling via enhancing β-catenin (Ser552) phosphorylation. Moreover, AKT and β-catenin signaling inhibition both resulted in the attenuated survival of FB-treated cells, indicating the AKT/β-catenin signaling is a crucial mediator in FB promoted cell survival. CONCLUSIONS FB exerted neuroprotective effects on hippocampal cells of APP/PS1 mice, as well as improved cell viability in an in vitro model of AD. The protective actions of FB occurred via the upregulation of AKT/β-catenin signaling.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic remedial surgery in patients who didn't reach the cure criterion of early colorectal cancer after endoscopic resection. Methods: The clinical and follow-up data of 12 patients who didn't reach the cure criterion of early colorectal cancer and then underwent endoscopic resection was collected. The clinicalpathological features and remedial indications were analyzed to evaluate the effects of laparoscopic remedial surgery. Results: The average number of lymph nodes in the lymph node dissection was 15 during remedial surgery, and 3 of them had lymph node metastasis. Among the 3 patients with residual cancer, two cases were poorly differentiated, 1 case was moderately differentiated, 1 case was positive for basal margin, and 1 case had vascular invasion. No lymph node metastasis occurred in the 9 patients who had no residual cancer. Among these, 8 cases were moderately differentiated, 1 case was poorly differentiated and 2 cases had positive basal margin. The average follow-up duration was 40 months and all 12 patients were in a state of survival at the last follow-up. During the follow-up of the 3 patients with residual cancer, 1 patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with unknown prognosis; 1 patient received postoperative adjuvant radiochemotherapy, and lung metastasis occurred; 1 patient did not receive any treatment after surgery and survived for 33 months. Conclusions: Laparoscopic remedial surgery is a safe and feasible remedy for patients who didn't reach the cure criterion of early colorectal cancer after endoscopic resection. However, the choice of remedial strategy for colorectal carcinoma needs further investigation for patients with no vascular invasion, high degree of differentiation, and negative basal margin.

Abstract
Background Animal studies have shown that peritoneal injury can be minimized by insufflating the abdominal cavity with warm humidified carbon dioxide gas. Methods A single‐blind RCT was performed at a tertiary colorectal unit. Inclusion criteria were patient aged 18 years and over undergoing open elective surgery. The intervention group received warmed (37°C), humidified (98 per cent relative humidity) carbon dioxide (WHCO2 group). Multiple markers of peritoneal inflammation and oxidative damage were used to compare groups, including cytokines and chemokines, apoptosis, the 3‐chlorotyrosine/native tyrosine ratio, and light microscopy on peritoneal biopsies at the start (T0) and end (Tend) of the operation. Postoperative clinical outcomes were compared between the groups. Results Of 40 patients enrolled, 20 in the WHCO2 group and 19 in the control group were available for analysis. A significant log(Tend/T0) difference between control and WHCO2 groups was documented for interleukin (IL) 2 (5·3 versus 2·8 respectively; P = 0·028) and IL‐4 (3·5 versus 2·0; P = 0·041), whereas apoptosis assays documented no significant change in caspase activity, and similar apoptosis rates were documented along the peritoneal edge in both groups. The 3‐chlorotyrosine/tyrosine ratio had increased at Tend by 1·1‐fold in the WHCO2 group and by 3·1‐fold in the control group. Under light microscopy, peritoneum was visible in 11 of 19 samples from the control group and in 19 of 20 samples from the WHCO2 group (P = 0·006). The only difference in clinical outcomes between intervention and control groups was the number of days to passage of flatus (2·5 versus 5·0 days respectively; P = 0·008). Conclusion The use of warmed, humidified carbon dioxide appears to reduce some markers related to peritoneal oxidative damage during laparotomy. No difference was observed in clinical outcomes, but the study was underpowered for analysis of surgical results. Registration number: NCT02975947 (

Abstract
The issue of whether a thermal gradient acts like a magnetic field or an electric current in the domain wall (DW) dynamics is investigated. Broadly speaking, magnetization control knobs can be classified as energy-driving or angular-momentum driving forces. DW propagation driven by a static magnetic field is the best known example of the former in which the DW speed is proportional to the energy dissipation rate, and the current-driven DW motion is an example of the latter. Here we show that DW propagation speed driven by a thermal gradient can be fully explained as the angular momentum transfer between thermally generated spin current and DW. We found DW-plane rotation speed increases as DW width decreases. Both DW propagation speed along the wire and DW-plane rotation speed around the wire decrease with the Gilbert damping. These facts are consistent with the angular momentum transfer mechanism, but are distinct from the energy dissipation mechanism. We further show that magnonic spin-transfer torque (STT) generated by a thermal gradient has both damping-like and field-like components. By analyzing DW propagation speed and DW-plane rotational speed, the coefficient ([Formula: see text]) of the field-like STT arising from the non-adiabatic process, is obtained. It is found that [Formula: see text] does not depend on the thermal gradient; increases with uniaxial anisotropy [Formula: see text] (thinner DW); and decreases with the damping, in agreement with the physical picture that a larger damping or a thicker DW leads to a better alignment between the spin-current polarization and the local magnetization, or a better adiabaticity.

Abstract
Topological magnetic textures have attracted considerable interest since they exhibit new properties and might be useful in information technology. Magnetic hopfions are three-dimensional (3D) spatial variations in the magnetization with a nontrivial Hopf index. We find that, in ferromagnetic materials, two types of hopfions, Bloch-type and Néel-type hopfions, can be excited as metastable states in the presence of bulk and interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, respectively. We further investigate how hopfions can be driven by currents via spin-transfer torques (STTs) and spin-Hall torques (SHTs). Distinct from 2D ferromagnetic skyrmions, hopfions have a vanishing gyrovector. Consequently, there are no undesirable Hall effects. Néel-type hopfions move along the current direction via both STT and SHT, while Bloch-type hopfions move either transverse to the current direction via SHT or parallel to the current direction via STT. Our findings open the door to utilizing hopfions as information carriers.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to explore the clinical value of fusion indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (FIGFI) in total laparoscopic radical resection for right colon cancer. Methods: From October, 2018 to December, 2018, 15 patients who underwent total laparoscopic radical resection for right colon cancer using FIGFI in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Data regarding surgical outcomes, postoperative recovery, pathological outcomes and complications were collected and analyzed. Results: All patients successfully underwent total laparoscopic radical resection for right colon cancer using FIGFI. 1 patients (6.7%) received extended resection of bowel due to poor blood supply after mesentery excision. The average operation time was 133.7 minutes and intraoperative blood loss was 26.7 ml. The average time to ground activities, fluid diet intake, first flatus and postoperative hospitalization were 19.1 h, 11.7 h, 32.5 h and 5.0 d, respectively. The average length of tumor was 4.5 cm. The average proximal and distal resection margins were 14.9 cm and 12.1 cm, respectively. The average number of lymph nodes retrieved was 29.3 per patient. Only one patient suffered from incisional fat liquefaction after surgery and was managed effectively by regular dressing change. No severe complications such as indocyanine green allergy, anastomotic stenosis, anastomotic leakage, abdominal bleeding, bowel obstruction, pulmonary infection, and abdominal infection occurred in any patients. Conclusions: FIGFI is helpful to judge the blood supply of intestinal segments and anastomotic stoma in total laparoscopic radical resection for right colon cancer quickly. It is a safe and feasible technique with satisfactory short-term effect.

Upregulation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator 2 in the hippocampi of post-stroke depression rats. Biomed Rep 2019; 11:51-58. [PMID: 31338190 PMCID: PMC6610214 DOI: 10.3892/br.2019.1225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2019] [Accepted: 06/11/2019] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator protein 2 (ARNT2), a member of the basic helix-loop-helix superfamily of transcription factors, may serve a vital role in neuronal survival and cell proliferation via formation of heterodimers with hypoxia-inducible factor-1α. Previous studies indicated that ARNT2 levels were elevated in the brains of ischemic rats; however, the involvement of ARNT2 in post-stroke depression (PSD) rats is not well understood. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the levels of ARNT2 in the hippocampi of PSD rats, and to clarify the potential association between ARNT2 and behavioral performance. A PSD rat model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) followed by a 4-week chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) regimen. A sucrose preference test and open field test (OFT) were conducted, and body weight was measured. In addition, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry were performed to measure ARNT expression. Results indicated that MCAO+CUMS rats had lower weight gain, consumed less sucrose and moved less compared with controls. Furthermore, the mRNA and protein levels of ARNT in MCAO+CUMS rats were increased compared with in controls. The sucrose preference index and horizontal movement distance in the OFT were positively correlated with ARNT mRNA level. Thus, from these findings it was suggested that ARNT2 may be positively associated with improvement of cognitive impairment, and therefore may be a potential target in PSD treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characterization, treatment and prognosis of anti-GQ1b antibody syndrome. Methods: The clinical data of 8 patients with positive serum anti-GQ1b antibody from the Department of Neurology of Nanjing Brain Hospital between June 2016 and July 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Their serums were tested by immunoblotting. Relevant literatures were reviewed to investigate possible pathogenesis. Results: Of the 8 cases, 4 cases were male, 4 cases were female; their age ranged from 16 to 76 (47±21) years old. Seven of them were with acute onset, the time course of the disease ranged from 2 to 15 (7±4) days. Six cases had a history of influenza prior to the onset of the presenting symptoms. In terms of the clinical manifestations of the eight patients, two were affected with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), two with Cavernous sinus syndrome, one with Miller Fisher syndrome, one with both GBS and spinal cord demyelination, one with Bulbar paralysis, and one with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The anti-GQ1b antibody IgG in serum was positive in 6 patients, two of whom were combined with positive IgG of anti-GD1b antibody in serum. The anti-GQ1b antibody IgM in serum was positive in 1 patient, and the anti-GQ1b antibody IgM and anti-GT1b antibody IgM in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were both positive in the other patient. In terms of the treatment, 3 patients (3/8) received vitamin B treatment only, 2 patients (2/8) received steroid plus vitamin B treatment, 2 patients (2/8) received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) plus vitamin B treatment, and 1 patient (1/8) received steroid plus IVIG treatment. During the 8-33 months' follow-up after discharge, 6 patients were significantly improved in their symptoms, one with mild diplopia, one with limbs weakness, numbness and difficulty in walking. The symptoms of one patient (case 3) fluctuated twice and recovered again after treatment. Conclusions: The disease spectrum of anti-GQ1b antibodies syndrome is broad, and main symptom is ophtalmoplegia. Immunotherapy with IVIG and steroid would be beneficial to prognosis.

Abstract
Effective early screening and primary prevention is one of the major initiatives to decrease the morbidity and mortality of colorectal cancer in China. As a new non-invasive screening method for colorectal cancer in recent years, fecal DNA test detects colorectal cancer by analyzing gene mutations from intestinal tumor cells in the feces. The most widely used method among fecal DNA test is multi-target stoolDNA test (MT-sDNA). Many studies abroad on this emerging technique have been carried out to verify its high sensitivity, and it is gradually used in the clinic with continuous improvement and development of technology. Meanwhile, domestic MT-sDNA is still in the prototype stage, and more researches from Chinese population are needed. Compared with traditional screening methods, MT-sDNA technology has the advantages of non-invasiveness, painlessness and convenience. But its defects exist, such as high cost and low specificity. MT-sDNAis in accordance with precision medicine, and can largely make up for the shortcomings of traditional screening methods for colorectal cancer. It also holds a great promise for promoting the screening for colorectal cancer. This paper is aimed to discuss the application value of fecal DNA test by introducing its related researches at home and abroad,and summarizing its merits and demerits.

Abstract
The clinical role of APC promoter methylation in patients with bladder cancer remains to be determined. The relevant databases (PubMed, EMBASE, EBSCO, Wangfang, CNKI and Cochrane Library) were searched to get eligible studies. The overall odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated to assess the effects of APC promoter methylation on bladder cancer risk and clinicopathological features. 2214 patients with bladder cancer and 665 controls were identified. APC promoter methylation was significantly higher in bladder cancer than in nonmalignant tissue and urine samples (tissue: OR = 11.14, 95% CI = 4.29-28.91, P < 0.001; urine: OR = 24.31, 95% CI = 6.26-94.38, P < 0.001), but not in blood samples (P = 0.242). The relationship was observed between APC promoter methylation and gender (male vs. female: OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 0.96-2.22, P = 0.074), tumor stage (stage T2-T4 vs. Ta-T1: OR = 3.00, 95% CI = 1.66-5.42, P < 0.001), and tumor grade (grade 3-4 vs. grade 1-2: OR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.15-3.42, P = 0.013). But no correlation was found between APC promoter methylation and age, lymph node status, and tumor number (P > 0.1). APC gene was not associated with overall survival of bladder cancer. Our findings indicate that APC promoter methylation may be associated with the development and progression of bladder cancer and may serve as a promising noninvasive biomarker using urine samples for the detection of bladder cancer.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the clinical safety, feasibility and short-term effect of overlapped delta-shaped anastomosis in total laparoscopic transverse colectomy. Methods: The records, which were based on China National Cancer Center, of 20 and 31 patients who underwent total laparoscopic transverse colectomy with overlapped delta-shaped anastomosis and laparoscopic-assisted transverse colectomy with conventional extracorporeal anastomosis, from March 2017 to May 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Data regarding surgical outcomes, postoperative recovery, pathological outcomes and perioperative complications were collected and compared. Results: There was no difference between the two groups in overall operation time, anastomosis time and intraoperative blood loss (P>0.05), however, the length of incision was significantly shorter in overlapped delta-shaped group [(4.7±0.6) cm vs. (5.5±1.0) cm, P=0.002]. The time to ground activities, first flatus and postoperative hospitalization did not differ between the two groups (P>0.05). The postoperative visual analogue scale was lower in the overlapped delta-shaped group than the control group on postoperative day 1 (3.7±0.7 vs. 4.2±0.9, P=0.015) and postoperative day 3 (2.7±0.5 vs. 3.2±0.9, P=0.040). The perioperative complication rates were 10.0% and 12.9% in the overlapped delta-shaped group and the control group, respectively, and the difference was not significant (P=0.753). Conclusion: Compared to conventional extracorporeal anastomosis, total laparoscopic transverse colectomy with overlapped delta-shaped anastomosis was a safe and feasible procedure with satisfactory short-term effect, shorter incision and less postoperative pain.

Abstract
Objective:The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy(SLIT) in treatment of adult allergic rhinitis, and to explore the predictive role of baseline serum cytokine levels in its therapeutic effect.Method:Sixty patients with moderatesevere perennial AR sensitized with house dust mites were treated for 2 years. The SLIT group(n=30) were treated with standardized dust mite vaccine SLIT and conventional drugs, and the control group(n=30) were treated with placebo and conventional drugs. The combined symptom and medication score(CSMS) were compared between the two groups to evaluate the efficacy at baseline and 2 year endpoint. According to therapeutic effect, the SLIT group and the control group were divided into subgroups respectively, and the baseline IFN-γ and IL4, IL10, IL17 levels were compared between the effective group and the ineffective group in each group. The ROC curve was drawn to find the best predictive index and the best cut-off value was calculated. Result:①There was no significant difference between the SLIT group and the control group at baseline CSMS(P>0.05). There was significant difference between the two groups at 2year endpoint CSMS(P<0.05). ②In the SLIT group, there was no significant difference between the effective group and the ineffective group with the IFN-γ and IL17(P>0.05). The IL4 level in the effective group was significantly higher than the ineffective group while the IL10 level was significantly lower(P<0.05). In the control group, there were no significant differences in the levels of IFN-γ, IL4, IL10 and IL17 between the two subgroups(P>0.05). ③Baseline IL4/IL10 has higher predictive value than IL4 and IL10 alone. The best cut-off value is 2.04, and the sensitivity and specificity of predictive value were 72.7% and 73.7% respectively. Conclusion: SLIT combined with conventional drug therapy is more effective than conventional drug therapy alone. IL4/IL10 has a better predictive role in SLIT effect than IL4 or IL10 alone. The higher the ratio, the better therapeutic effect is.

Abstract
Fast and highly selective detection of trace amounts of metal ions has become one of the most urgent issues concerning public security and living systems. However, developing a highly efficient fluorescent sensor for metal ions still remains a great challenge. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a promising class of porous fluorescent sensors towards ion detection. Herein, the anionic MOF FJI-C8 based on the π-conjugated aromatic ligand H6TDPAT (2,4,6-tris(3,5-dicarboxylphenylamino)-1,3,5-triazine) containing uncoordinated nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atoms was chosen as highly efficient sensor for selective detection of Fe3+. Due to the strong interaction between Fe3+ and Lewis base sites (uncoordinated nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atoms), the high overlap between the emission spectrum of the anionic FJI-C8 and the absorption spectrum of Fe3+, and the good overlap of the excitation spectrum of the host material FJI-C8 with the absorption spectrum of Fe3+, FJI-C8 exhibited a high sensitivity (0.0233 mM of Fe3+) and extra selectivity (Ksv = 8245 M-1) for the rapid detection (less than 30 s) of Fe3+ with low usage (0.04 mg mL-1 of FJI-C8 suspension). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a luminescent MOF chemosensor based on a trefoil ligand with the highest density of uncoordinated N and carboxylate O atoms for the highly selective detection of Fe3+. It is also crucial to note that this is a first time detection of Fe3+ using both FJI-C8 suspension and solid after filtration, and the results indicate that the detection of Fe3+ using the FJI-C8 suspension is better. This study will pave the way for designing luminescent MOF chemosensors for the detection of Fe3+ ion.
