The portable disposable large-channel endoscope was developed in-house by our team. It ensures successful gastroscopic treatment with good image condition, water supply, air supply, suction and maneuverability. In addition, the risk of infection transmission from reusable gastroscopes could be avoided. In conclusion, portable disposable large-channel endoscope and the twin forceps clip are a good choice in emergency treatment and certain circumstances.
Objective:Laparoscopic/robotic radical resection and super minimally invasive surgery(SMIS)are currently the main surgical methods for the treatment of gastric cancer.However, there are the following issues in clinical decision-making before and after surgery: (1)There is still a lack of effective means for accurately determining the scope of lymph node dissection in laparoscopic/robotic radical resection surgery; (2)There are still difficulties in accurately determining the presence of lymph node metastasis around the stomach after non-curative resection of super minimally invasive surgery.Currently, the use of the antigen-specific imaging agent 68Ga-NC-BCH in combination with positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) has shown promising results in guiding Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Immunotherapy (CART) treatment for gastric cancer patients. However, there is no relevant research on whether it can be combined with lymph node immune tracing to guide preoperative and postoperative clinical decisions for gastric cancer patients.Therefore, this study aims to explore the impact of 68Ga-NC-BCH combined with PET-CT lymph node immune tracing on preoperative and postoperative clinical decisions for gastric cancer patients.Methods:From April to September 2023, five cases of advanced gastric cancer patients who received treatment at the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital were selected. Prior to surgery, abdominal CT scans and 68Ga-NC-BCH combined PET-CT lymph node immune tracing were performed, followed by laparoscopic/robotic gastric cancer resection and extended lymph node dissection.Result:Among the 5 cases, preoperative CT scans indicated enlarged gastric lymph nodes in 3 cases (60%). However, lymph node immunostaining using 68Ga-NC-BCH combined with PET-CT did not reveal any abnormalities. Postoperative pathological examination of the enlarged lymph nodes confirmed the absence of cancer tissue in all 3 cases.The results of preoperative lymph node immunostaining using 68Ga-NC-BCH combined with PET-CT were consistent with postoperative pathological examination results in all 5 cases (100%). These preliminary findings suggest that compared to CT, lymph node immunostaining using 68Ga-NC-BCH combined with PET-CT has higher accuracy in determining gastric lymph node metastasis in patients with gastric cancer.Conclusion:This study preliminarily confirmed the feasibility and safety of using 68Ga-NC-BCH combined with PET-CT lymph node immune tracing to guide preoperative and postoperative clinical decisions for gastric cancer patients. However, further prospective studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm the above conclusion.
Objective:In this study, we compared the effectiveness and safety of the portable disposable large-channel endoscope and a conventional gastroscope in hemostasis and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).Methods:Rabbits were treated with debridement and hemostasis after general anesthesia. After constructing the model of gastrorrhagia, the endoscopic surgeons randomly selected a gastroscope to debridement the bleeding site and spray hemostatic powder to achieve hemostasis. We will compare the overall operation time, the amount of hemostatic powder, the success rate of hemostasis and the times of plugging of the powder delivery tube between the two groups. Overall operation time, the amount of hemostatic powder, the success rate of hemostasis and the times of plugging of the powder delivery tube were compared between the 2 types of endoscopes. Bama pigs would receive ESD treatment after general anesthesia. The experiment was completed by experienced endoscopic physicians. Total duration of ESD, success rate of en bloc resection, perforation rate, device failure rate, satisfaction with the use of endoscope system and picture rating were compared between the 2 types of endoscopes.Result:Both groups successfully completed hemostasis. There was no difference between the dosage of hemostatic powder in the experimental group (2.54±0.97) g and that in the control group (2.25±0.79) g. The powder delivery tube in the control group was blocked once. In the overall operation time, the experimental group (86.62±13.68) s was significantly shorter than that in the control group (101.75±17.14) s, with P value=0.004. Both groups completed 16 ESDs. There were no significant differences between the total duration of ESD in the experimental group (19.22±9.50) min and that in the control group (17.72±5.15) min, with P value =0.985. There were no differences in success rate of en bloc resection and picture rating between the 2 types of gastroscopes. Neither of the gastroscopes caused perforation during ESD. There was no failure of the instruments in both groups. The satisfactions evaluation of two groups were basically satisfactory and above.Conclusion:The portable disposable large-channel digestive endoscope could perform gastroscopy and treatment effectively, which is of great significance in reducing infection and breaking the restriction of the use of endoscope.
Mesenteric panniculitis is a chronic non-specific inflammatory disease involving mesenteric adipose tissue. The etiology of the disease is still unclear and is relatively rare in clinical practice. The paper provides a systematic review of its etiology and pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, with the aim of providing a more powerful reference for the clinical treatment of the disease.
