Authors: Zhu Qin-Qin , Chen Bing-Fang , Yang Yue , Zuo Xue-Yong , Liu Wen-Hui , Wang Ting-Ting , Zhang Yin 
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
Malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ) is a condition characterized by varying degrees of bile duct stenosis and obstruction, accompanied by the progressive development of malignant tumors, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. Currently, the two most commonly employed methods for its management are percutaneous transhepatic bile duct drainage (PTBD) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD). While both methods have demonstrated favorable outcomes, additional research needs to be performed to determine their relative efficacy.
AIM
To compare the therapeutic effectiveness of EUS-BD and PTBD in treating MOJ.
METHODS
This retrospective analysis, conducted between September 2015 and April 2023 at The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (The First People’s Hospital of Changzhou), involved 68 patients with MOJ. The patients were divided into two groups on the basis of surgical procedure received: EUS-BD subgroup (n = 33) and PTBD subgroup (n = 35). Variables such as general data, preoperative and postoperative indices, blood routine, liver function indices, myocardial function indices, operative success rate, clinical effectiveness, and complication rate were analyzed and compared between the subgroups.
RESULTS
In the EUS-BD subgroup, hospital stay duration, bile drainage volume, effective catheter time, and clinical effectiveness rate were superior to those in the PTBD subgroup, although the differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The puncture time for the EUS-BD subgroup was shorter than that for the PTBD subgroup (P < 0.05). Postoperative blood routine, liver function index, and myocardial function index in the EUS-BD subgroup were significantly lower than those in the PTBD subgroup (P < 0.05). Additionally, the complication rate in the EUS-BD subgroup was lower than in the PTBD subgroup (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
EUS-BD may reduce the number of punctures, improve liver and myocardial functions, alleviate traumatic stress, and decrease complication rates in MOJ treatment.
Identifying the risk factors for pancreatic fistula after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with pancreatic cancer
Authors: Xu Hang , Meng Qing-Cai , Hua Jie , Wang Wei 
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is a surgical procedure for treating pancreatic cancer; however, the risk of complications remains high owing to the wide range of organs involved during the surgery and the difficulty of anastomosis. Pancreatic fistula (PF) is a major complication that not only increases the risk of postoperative infection and abdominal hemorrhage but may also cause multi-organ failure, which is a serious threat to the patient’s life. This study hypothesized the risk factors for PF after LPD.
AIM
To identify the risk factors for PF after laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy in patients with pancreatic cancer.
METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed the data of 201 patients admitted to the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center between August 2022 and August 2023 who underwent LPD for pancreatic cancer. On the basis of the PF’s incidence (grades B and C), patients were categorized into the PF (n = 15) and non-PF groups (n = 186). Differences in general data, preoperative laboratory indicators, and surgery-related factors between the two groups were compared and analyzed using multifactorial logistic regression and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses.
RESULTS
The proportions of males, combined hypertension, soft pancreatic texture, and pancreatic duct diameter ≤ 3 mm; surgery time; body mass index (BMI); and amylase (Am) level in the drainage fluid on the first postoperative day (Am > 1069 U/L) were greater in the PF group than in the non-PF group (P < 0.05), whereas the preoperative monocyte count in the PF group was lower than that in the non-PF group (all P < 0.05). The logistic regression analysis revealed that BMI > 24.91 kg/m² [odds ratio (OR) =13.978, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.886-103.581], hypertension (OR = 8.484, 95%CI: 1.22-58.994), soft pancreatic texture (OR = 42.015, 95%CI: 5.698-309.782), and operation time > 414 min (OR = 15.41, 95%CI: 1.63-145.674) were risk factors for the development of PF after LPD for pancreatic cancer (all P < 0.05). The areas under the ROC curve for BMI, hypertension, soft pancreatic texture, and time prediction of PF surgery were 0.655, 0.661, 0.873, and 0.758, respectively.
CONCLUSION
BMI (> 24.91 kg/m²), hypertension, soft pancreatic texture, and operation time (> 414 min) are considered to be the risk factors for postoperative PF.

Authors: Xu Mu-Sen , Xu Jia-Le , Gao Xin , Mo Shao-Jian , Xing Jia-Yu , Liu Jia-Hang , Tian Yan-Zhang , Fu Xi-Feng 
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are novel inflammatory indicators that can be used to predict the severity and prognosis of various diseases. We categorize acute pancreatitis by etiology into acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) and hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTGP).
AIM
To investigate the clinical significance of NLR and PLR in assessing persistent organ failure (POF) in HTGP and ABP.
METHODS
A total of 1450 patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis (AP) for the first time at Shanxi Bethune Hospital between January 2012 and January 2023 were enrolled. The patients were categorized into two groups according to the etiology of AP: ABP in 530 patients and HTGP in 241 patients. We collected and compared the clinical data of the patients, including NLR, PLR, and AP prognostic scoring systems, within 48 h of hospital admission.
RESULTS
The NLR (9.1 vs 6.9, P < 0.001) and PLR (203.1 vs 160.5, P < 0.001) were significantly higher in the ABP group than in the HTGP group. In the HTGP group, both NLR and PLR were significantly increased in patients with severe AP and those with a SOFA score ≥ 3. Likewise, in the ABP group, NLR and PLR were significantly elevated in patients with severe AP, modified computed tomography severity index score ≥ 4, Japanese Severity Score ≥ 3, and modified Marshall score ≥ 2. Moreover, NLR and PLR showed predictive value for the development of POF in both the ABP and HTGP groups.
CONCLUSION
NLR and PLR vary between ABP and HTGP, are strongly associated with AP prognostic scoring systems, and have predictive potential for the occurrence of POF in both ABP and HTGP.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
Given the current organ shortage crisis, split liver transplantation (SLT) has emerged as a promising alternative for select end-stage liver disease patients.
AIM
To introduce an ex-vivo liver graft splitting approach and evaluate its safety and feasibility in SLT.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis was conducted on the liver transplantation data from cases performed at our center between April 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023. The study included 25 SLT cases and 81 whole liver transplantation (WLT) cases. Total ex-vivo liver splitting was employed for SLT graft procurement in three steps. Patient outcomes were determined, including liver function parameters, postoperative complications, and perioperative mortality. Group comparisons for categorical variables were performed using the χ² -test.
RESULTS
In the study, postoperative complications in the 25 SLT cases included hepatic artery thrombosis (n = 1) and pulmonary infections (n = 3), with no perioperative mortality. In contrast, among the 81 patients who underwent WLT, complications included perioperative mortality (n = 1), postoperative pulmonary infections (n = 8), abdominal infection (n = 1), hepatic artery thromboses (n = 3), portal vein thrombosis (n = 1), and intra-abdominal bleeding (n = 5). Comparative analysis demonstrated significant differences in alanine aminotransferase (176.0 vs 73.5, P = 0.000) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (42.0 vs 29.0, P = 0.004) at 1 wk postoperatively, and in total bilirubin (11.8 vs 20.8, P = 0.003) and AST (41.5 vs 26.0, P = 0.014) at 2 wk postoperatively. However, the overall incidence of complications was comparable between the two groups (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Our findings suggest that the total ex-vivo liver graft splitting technique is a safe and feasible approach, especially under the expertise of an experienced transplant center. The approach developed by our center can serve as a valuable reference for other transplantation centers.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
The treatment of postoperative anastomotic stenosis after excision of rectal cancer is challenging. Endoscopic balloon dilation and radial incision are not effective in all patients. We present a new endoscopy-assisted magnetic compression technique (MCT) for the treatment of rectal anastomotic stenosis. We successfully applied this MCT to a patient who developed an anastomotic stricture after radical resection of rectal cancer.
CASE SUMMARY
A 50-year-old man had undergone laparoscopic radical rectal cancer surgery at a local hospital 5 months ago. A colonoscopy performed 2 months ago indicated that the rectal anastomosis was narrow due to which ileostomy closure could not be performed. The patient came to the Magnetic Surgery Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University after learning that we had successfully treated patients with colorectal stenosis using MCT. We performed endoscopy-assisted magnetic compression surgery for rectal stenosis. The magnets were removed 16 d later. A follow-up colonoscopy performed after 4 months showed good anastomotic patency, following which, ileostomy closure surgery was performed.
CONCLUSION
MCT is a simple, non-invasive technique for the treatment of anastomotic stricture after radical resection of rectal cancer. The technique can be widely used in clinical settings.
Colo-colonic intussusception as a rare complication of colonoscopy with polypectomy: Two case reports
Authors: Xiang Sai-Heng , Xu Guo-Qiang 
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
Colonoscopy is the most frequently used diagnostic and therapeutic tool for the treatment of colorectal diseases. Although the complication rate is low, it can be potentially serious. Intussusception is a rare and severe complication often associated with polypectomy. Only a handful of post-colonoscopy intussusception cases have been reported, making this study a valuable addition to the medical literature.
CASE SUMMARY
Case 1: A 61-year-old man underwent colonoscopy with polypectomy for chronic abdominal pain. The patient experienced abdominal pain 11 hours later but was still discharged after pain management. He was readmitted due to recurring pain. Computed tomography (CT) showed colo-colonic intussusception. Initial conservative management and attempts at endoscopic reduction failed; therefore, laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed tubular adenomas in the polyps and inflammation in the resected specimens. Case 2: A 59-year-old woman underwent colonoscopy with polypectomy for a polyp in the transverse colon. She experienced upper abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting 9 hours after the procedure. Emergency CT and blood tests revealed a colo-colonic intussusception near the hepatic flexure and an elevated white blood cell count. Initial attempts at endoscopic reduction failed and conservative treatment showed no improvement. She underwent successful laparoscopic reduction and recovered uneventfully. Histopathological examination of the resected polyp revealed hyperplasia.
CONCLUSION
Post-colonoscopy intussusception in adults is rare, and polypectomy may contribute to its occurrence. Early diagnosis is crucial, with prompt CT examination serving as key. After excluding malignancies, conservative management and reduction of intussusception should be considered before surgical bowel resection.
Resection of polyps involving the appendiceal orifice by combined endo-laparoscopic surgery: Two case reports
Authors: Zhang Yue-Yi , Lu Jun-Yang , Wang Qiang , Yang Ai-Ming 
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
The management of polyps involving the appendiceal orifice (AO) presents notable challenges. Endoscopic resection is frequently hindered by operational complexities, a heightened risk of incomplete removal, and an elevated risk of procedural complications, including appendicitis. Conversely, surgical resection may entail unnecessary excision of intestinal segments, leading to potential morbidity.
CASE SUMMARY
Here, we reported two patients who presented with polyps deeply situated within the AO, with indistinct boundaries making it challenging to ensure completeness using traditional endoscopic resection. To overcome these challenges, we employed combined endo-laparoscopic surgery (CELS), achieving curative resection without postoperative complications.
CONCLUSION
The application of CELS in managing polyps involving the AO is emerging as a safe and effective treatment modality.

Published: June 2024

This review, mainly paid attention to how supercapacitor electrodes are made in order to increase energy transfer and storage, so that, superior performance energy and power density can be gained as excellent operating conditions plus long cycling life is attained. Review shows that specific capacitance of supercapacitor is influenced by electrolyte accessibility, pore size distribution, and structure, electrolyte type, pore shape plus electrical conductivity also affects it. Instrumental analysis of performance of electrode materials was looked into by means of supercapacitor evaluation techniques like CV, EIS and galvanostatic charge/discharge. We understood from review that solvent used in making of electrolytes has enormous effect on it working voltage; the electrolyte–electrode relations with ionic conductivity of electrolyte were shown to have participated very much in internal resistance of SCs. In conclusion, studies on electrode materials for SCs in general, have significantly progressed and have brought lots of innovative improvements in supercapacitors proficiency and application; but, further studies on optimization of energy density and power density of EC need to be carried out while their weight, volume and production expenditure require reduction.

Purpose: To investigate casein's role in the expressions of human beta-defensin (HBD)-1, T helper subset (Th)-17, and interleukin (IL)-22 in preterm Rattus norvegicus (RNs).
Methods: Twenty-four healthy, first-time pregnant RNs were divided into three groups (G). Group 1 (G1) received regular casein (R) 0.4 g/RN/day, while G2 and G3 received casein supplementation (S) 2 g/RN/ day. Each RN was given 10 g of food and drank 10 mL. On day 10, a single intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was injected with 100 g/kg body weight. Lipopolysaccharide was injected into G3 as a premature model with chorioamnionitis. Histopathological examination was carried out to measure the expression of HBD-1, Th-17, and IL-22 using methyl green counterstaining. Chorioamnion specimens were taken and fixed in 4 % paraformaldehyde, and then evaluated by immunohistochemical (IHC) procedures to obtain immunoreactive score (IMS).
Results: The IMS expression of HBD-1 in G1 was 1.187 ± 0.372, while G3 was 9.562 ± 2.351 (p < 0.05). Th-17 expression were G1: 2.062 ± 0.140, G2: 6.122 ± 1.347, and G3: 9.112 ± 2.019 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, IL-22 expressions were G1: 1.825 ± 0.468, G2: 4.700 ± 1.614, and G3: 7.800 ± 1.669 (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Casein supplementation increases HBD-1, Th-17, and IL-22 expression in preterm RN and in the LPS- induced RN chorioamnionitis model. The increase in HBD-1, Th-17, and IL-22 indicate that casein plays a role in the protection and control of chorioamnionitis tissue inflammation.
