Objective To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of frequently-used bariatric surgery versus conventional medical therapy for obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods Such databases as The Cochrane Library (Issue 12, 2012), PubMed, CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang Data were searched to collect the randomized controlled trails (RCTs) about frequently-used bariatric surgery vs. conventional therapy for obese patients with type 2 diabetes. The retrieval time was from inception to May, 2012. Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and evaluated the quality. Then the meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1.2 software. Results A total of three RCTs involving 340 patients were included finally. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with conventional medical therapy, bariatric surgery could improve the diabetes remission, decrease both glycated hemoglobin level and patient’s weight. At the same time, the postoperative complications were fairly mild. Conclusion Frequently-used bariatric surgery is superior to conventional medical therapy when treating obese patients with type 2 diabetes, and it deserves to be recommended in clinic. However more studies are required to further confirm this conclusion because of the quality and quantity limitation of the included studies.

Objective To compare the vasoactive effects of norepinephrine( NE) and dopamine of different doses on isolated rabbit pulmonary and systemic arteries in septic shock. Methods Six paired pulmonary and systemic arterial rings were prepared fromsix rabbits, and matched randomly assigned into a normal group and a LPS group. The assigned groups were intervened by different doses of NE. Another six paired pulmonary and systemic arterial rings were prepared from another six rabbits. They were assigned to different groups as above and intervened by different doses of dopamine. The LPS groups were pre-incubated in RPMI mediumsupplemented with4 μg/mL LPS to simulate septic shock. The tension of arterial rings was measured and its response to NE and dopamine were studied. Results ( 1) In the normal groups, the contraction of the systemic arteries was ber than the pulmonary arteries in response to low,middle dose of NE, and high dose of dopamine ( all P lt; 0. 05) , and which was weaker in response to middle dose of dopamine and similar in response to high dose of NE( P gt;0. 05) . Both the pulmonary and systemic arteriesrelaxed in response to low dose of dopamine. ( 2) After LPS pre-incubation, the contraction of the systemic arteries was weaker than the pulmonary arteries in response to low dose of dopamine ( P lt;0. 05) , and which was similar in response to low,middle and high dose of NE, and middle, high dose of dopamine. ( 3) Comparing the LPS groups with the normal groups, the contraction in response to middle dose of dopamine increased in the systemic arteries and dreased in the pulmonary arteries ( P lt;0. 05) . Conclusions In septic shock, the vasoactive effect of different doses of NE is not different between pulmonary and systemic arteries. But middle dose of dopamine can increase the contraction of systemic arteries and decrease the contraction of pulmonary arteries.
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors and prevention strategies of postoperative delirium in Stanford B aortic dissection. MethodsClinical data of the patients diagnosed with Stanford B aortic dissection and undergoing endovascular aortic repair from January 2020 to August 2021 in our department were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into a non-delirium group and a delirium group according to the presence of postoperative delirium. The risk factors for postoperative delirium after Stanford type B aortic dissection and the protective effect of dexmedetomidine on delirium were analyzed. ResultsA total of 659 patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection were enrolled, including 540 males and 119 females with a median age of 58.00 (41.00, 75.00) years. There were 450 patients in the non-delirium group, and 209 patients in the delirium group. There was no statistical difference in gender, body mass index, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking and drinking history, cholesterol triglyceride level, or creatinine glomerular filtration rate (P＞0.05). Age was an independent risk factor for postoperative delirium in Stanford type B aortic dissection (OR=1.392, 95%CI 1.008-1.923, P=0.044). Moreover, whether dexmedetomidine was used or not had no effect on the duration of postoperative delirium (χ2=4.662, P=0.588). Conclusion Age is an independent risk factor for postoperative delirium in patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection. The incidence of postoperative delirium in young patients is lower than that in the patients with middle and elderly age, and it may be of reference value to prevent postoperative delirium. Dexmedetomidine has no significant effect on controlling the duration of postoperative delirium.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic performance of different screening tools for sarcopenia in the community for the elderly with sarcopenia, and to provide evidence-based support for the accurate screening of elderly patients with sarcopenia. MethodsThe PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, VIP, CBM, and WanFang Data databases were searched by computer, and the relevant research on the diagnosis of sarcopenia in the elderly by publicly published risk screening tools was found. The retrieval time was from inception to June 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of the included studies, and then data analysis was performed by using Stata 15.1 and Meta Disc 1.4 software. ResultsA total of 24 studies were included, including 10 961 patients, involving 8 risk screening tools for sarcopenia in the elderly: leg circumference, MSRA-5, MSRA-7, upper arm circumference, ring test, Ishii score, SARC-CalF and SARC-F. Meta-analysis showed that the combined sensitivities of eight screening tools were 0.84 (95% CI 0.61 to 1.15), 0.82 (95% CI 0.48 to 1.38), 0.80 (95% CI 0.47 to 1.36) and 0.72 (95%CI 0.33 to 1.55), 0.67 (95%CI 0.37 to 1.21), 0.63 (95%CI 0.33 to 1.19), 0.49 (95%CI 0.38 to 0.63), 0.24 (95%CI 0.18 to 0.30), and the combined specificities were 0.39 (95%CI 0.18 to 0.82)、0.52 (95%CI 0.29 to 0.93)、0.54 (95%CI 0.29 to 1.03)、0.62 (95%CI 0.49 to 0.79)、0.63 (95%CI 0.50 to 0.78).The results of reticular meta-analysis showed that the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) of the eight screening tools ranked from high to low according to the cumulative sensitivity: calf circumference (67.4%) > MSRA-5 (65.3%) > MSRA-7 (64.1%) > upper arm circumference (54.5%) > ring test (46.5%) > Ishii score. The values of specificity SUCRA from highest to lowest were as follows: SARC-F (72.2%) > SARC-CALF (71.3%) > Ishii score (60.2%) > ring test (57.1%) > upper arm circumference (40.1%) > lower leg circumference (36.2%) > MSRA-5. ConclusionThe simple screening tool for common sarcopenia has high sensitivity and high specificity, so medical staff can give priority to the combination of the two screening tools, namely SARC-CalF. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo explore the surgical method and effectiveness of the great toenail bed flap supplied with the fibular dorsal artery of great toe in repair of the finger nail bed central longitudinal defect.MethodsBetween May 2012 and February 2017, 7 cases (7 fingers) with the finger nail bed central longitudinal defects were repaired with the great toenail bed flap supplied with the fibular dorsal artery of great toe. There were 3 males and 4 females; the age ranged from 17 to 35 years (mean, 27 years). The cause of injury included cutting injury in 2 cases, electric shaving injury in 3 cases, and frictional injury in 2 cases. The defect located at thumb in 3 cases, index finger in 3 cases, and middle finger in 1 case. The defect area ranged from 12 mm×8 mm to 21 mm×13 mm. The time from injury to admission was 1-2 hours (mean, 1.5 hours). The area of the great toenail bed flap ranged from 14 mm×10 mm to 23 mm×15 mm. The wound of donor site was directly sutured in 3 cases and repaired with full thickness skin graft in 4 cases.ResultsAll the great toenail bed flaps and skin grafts at the donor sites survived; and all wounds healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 9 to 36 months (mean, 23 months). The finger nails were smooth and shiny and recovered ideal appearance. At 9 months after operation, the two-point discrimination of the skin ranged from 7 to 9 mm (mean, 8 mm). According to the standard evaluation for nail bed repair issued by Zook etc., 6 cases were rated as excellent and 1 case as good, and the excellent and good rate was 100%.ConclusionIt is an ideal method to repair the finger nail bed central longitudinal defect with the great toenail bed flap supplied with the fibular dorsal artery of the great toe.

It could sense the neuronal signals and communicate with the enteric neurons via Ca2+ response and connexin-43 to affect the intestinal motility.ConclusionStudy of role and mechanism of EGCs in intestinal motor dysfunction is helpful to discovery new targets for treatment of these diseases.
ObjectiveTo analyze the burden of digestive diseases attributed to smoking in China from 1990 to 2019 and forecast its change in the next 10 years. MethodsThe Global Burden of Disease database 2019 was used to analyze the burden of digestive diseases attributed to smoking in China from 1990 to 2019. Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the time variation trend. A time series model was used to predict the burden of digestive diseases attributable to smoking over the next 10 years. ResultsIn 2019, there were 12 900 deaths from digestive diseases attributed to smoking in China, with a DALY of 398 600 years, a crude death rate of 0.91/100 000 and a crude DALY rate of 28.02/100 000. The attributed standardized mortality rate was 0.69 per 100 000, and the standardized DALY rate was 19.79 per 100 000, which was higher than the global level. In 2019, the standardized mortality rate and DALY rate of males were higher than those of females (1.48/ 100 000 vs. 0.11/ 100 000, 38.42/ 100 000 vs. 293/100 000), and the standardized rates of males and females showed a downward trend over time. In 2019, both mortality and DALY rates from digestive diseases attributed to smoking increased with age. ARIMA predicts that over the next 10 years, the burden of disease in the digestive system caused by smoking will decrease significantly. ConclusionFrom 1990 to 2019, the burden of digestive diseases attributed to smoking showed a decreasing trend in China, and the problem of disease burden is more serious in men and the elderly population. A series of effective measures should be taken to reduce the smoking rate in key groups. The burden of digestive diseases caused by smoking will be significantly reduced in the next 10 years.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of postoperative use of levosimendan on patients with valve replacement.MethodPatients with valvular diseases who underwent valve replacement were prospectively enrolled during Jan 2014 to May 2018 in Qingdao Municipal Hospital, randomized to a levosimendan-treated group (n=93) and a control group (n=92) preoperatively. Patients in both groups underwent the same routine treatment preoperatively and postoperatively. In addition, patients in the levosimendan-treated group underwent levosimendan intravenous infusion 24 hours after entering ICU postoperatively. The clinical effect of the two groups was compared.ResultsCompared to the control group, the cardiac output(CO, 5.2±1.0 L/min vs. 4.4±1.1 L/min on the seventh day after surgery) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, 55.7%±2.5% vs. 50.5%±2.2% on the seventh day after surgery) of levosimendan-treated group were increased significantly at different time points(1 day, 3 days and 7 days after surgery)(P<0.05), and the brain natriuetic peptid (BNP) level (312.5±34.6 pg/ml vs. 455.4±45.2 pg/ml on the seventh day after surgery) was less than that of the control group (P<0.05). The dosage (11.5±1.8 mg/kg vs. 20.4±2.1 mg/kg) and administration time of vasoactive agents in the levosimendan-treated group were significantly lower or shorter than those in the control group (70.4±11.2 h vs. 110.5±12.1 h, P<0.05). The ICU stay length, and the total incidence of adverse events were less than those of the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionPostoperative use of levosimendan immediately after surgery can significantly improve the cardiac function status of patients who underwent valve replacement, reduce the dosage of vasoactive agents, shorten the time of ICU hospitalization, reduce the incidence of adverse events and enhance the patient’s recovery after valve replacement.
