HyperTMO: a trusted multi-omics integration framework based on hypergraph convolutional network for patient classification.

MOTIVATION: The rapid development of high-throughput biomedical technologies can provide researchers with detailed multi-omics data. The multi-omics integrated analysis approach based on machine learning contributes a more comprehensive perspective to human disease research. However, there are still significant challenges in representing single-omics data and integrating multi-omics information. RESULTS: This article presents HyperTMO, a Trusted Multi-Omics integration framework based on Hypergraph convolutional network for patient classification. HyperTMO constructs hypergraph structures to represent the association between samples in single-omics data, then evidence extraction is performed by hypergraph convolutional network, and multi-omics information is integrated at an evidence level. Last, we experimentally demonstrate that HyperTMO outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in breast cancer subtype classification and Alzheimer's disease classification tasks using multi-omics data from TCGA (BRCA) and ROSMAP datasets. Importantly, HyperTMO is the first attempt to integrate hypergraph structure, evidence theory, and multi-omics integration for patient classification. Its accurate and robust properties bring great potential for applications in clinical diagnosis. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: HyperTMO and datasets are publicly available at https://github.com/ippousyuga/HyperTMO.

Identifying vital nodes for yeast network by dynamic network entropy.

BACKGROUND: The progress of the cell cycle of yeast involves the regulatory relationships between genes and the interactions proteins. However, it is still obscure which type of protein plays a decisive role in regulation and how to identify the vital nodes in the regulatory network. To elucidate the sensitive node or gene in the progression of yeast, here, we select 8 crucial regulatory factors from the yeast cell cycle to decipher a specific network and propose a simple mixed K2 algorithm to identify effectively the sensitive nodes and genes in the evolution of yeast. RESULTS: Considering the multivariate of cell cycle data, we first utilize the K2 algorithm limited to the stationary interval for the time series segmentation to measure the scores for refining the specific network. After that, we employ the network entropy to effectively screen the obtained specific network, and simulate the gene expression data by a normal distribution approximation and the screened specific network by the partial least squares method. We can conclude that the robustness of the specific network screened by network entropy is better than that of the specific network with the determined relationship by comparing the obtained specific network with the determined relationship. Finally, we can determine that the node CDH1 has the highest score in the specific network through a sensitivity score calculated by network entropy implying the gene CDH1 is the most sensitive regulatory factor. CONCLUSIONS: It is clearly of great potential value to reconstruct and visualize gene regulatory networks according to gene databases for life activities. Here, we present an available algorithm to achieve the network reconstruction by measuring the network entropy and identifying the vital nodes in the specific nodes. The results indicate that inhibiting or enhancing the expression of CDH1 can maximize the inhibition or enhancement of the yeast cell cycle. Although our algorithm is simple, it is also the first step in deciphering the profound mystery of gene regulation.

The role of magnetic anchoring and traction technique in thoracoscopic lymphadenectomy along the left recurrent laryngeal nerve.

BACKGROUND: Dissecting lymph nodes along the left recurrent laryngeal nerve (LRLN) is the most challenging step in thoracoscopic-assisted esophagectomy. To retract the proximal esophagus in the existing lymphadenectomy methods, either a special trocar is required to insert and take out endoscopic instruments or thoracic punctures are needed to externally retract the esophageal loop. Therefore, advanced skills for esophageal traction are important to facilitate the LRLN lymphadenectomy and to reduce the incidence of trauma to the chest wall. Herein, we present the magnetic anchoring and traction technique, a novel method for LRLN lymphadenectomy during thoracoscopic esophagectomy. METHODS: The magnetic anchoring traction system was successfully used to retract the upper thoracic esophagus and to help expose the upper mediastinum in 10 cases of thoracoscopic-assisted esophagectomy. When the external magnet was moved outside of body, the internal magnet was coupled with a magnetic force to pull the proximal esophagus to the appropriate direction, which helped to expose the LRLN and adjacent lymph nodes. The lymph nodes adjacent to the LRLN could then be dissected completely without any damage to the nerve. RESULTS: In all surgeries, the LRLN and adjacent lymph nodes were well visualized, and the number of trocars used to pass endoscopic instruments for retraction of the proximal esophagus or the number of thoracic punctures for external traction of the esophagus during the surgery were reduced. CONCLUSIONS: In thoracoscopic-assisted esophagectomy, the magnetic anchoring and traction technique can improve the exposure of the LRLN, facilitate LRLN lymphadenectomy, and reduce chest wall trauma.

Magnetic-assisted laparoscopic liver transplantation in swine.

BACKGROUND: Although laparoscopic technology has achieved rapid development in the surgical field, it has not been applied to liver transplantation, primarily because of difficulties associated with laparoscopic vascular anastomosis. In this study, we introduced a new magnetic-assisted vascular anastomosis technique and explored its application in laparoscopic liver transplantation in pigs. METHODS: Two sets of magnetic vascular anastomosis rings (MVARs) with different diameters were developed. One set was used for anastomosis of the suprahepatic vena cava (SHVC) and the other set was used for anastomosis of the infrahepatic vena cava (IHVC) and portal vein (PV). Six laparoscopic orthotopic liver transplantations were performed in pigs. Donor liver was obtained via open surgery. Hepatectomy was performed in the recipients through laparoscopic surgery. Anastomosis of the SHVC was performed using hand-assisted magnetic anastomosis, and the anastomosis of the IHVC and PV was performed by magnetic anastomosis with or without hand assistance. RESULTS: Liver transplants were successfully performed in five of the six cases. Postoperative ultrasonographic examination showed that the portal inflow was smooth. However, PV bending and blood flow obstruction occurred in one case because the MVARs were attached to each other. The durations of loading of MVAR in the laparoscope group and manual assistance group for IHVC and PV were 13 ± 5 vs. 5 ± 1 min (P < 0.01) and 10 ± 2 vs. 4 ± 1 min (P < 0.05), respectively. The durations of MVAR anastomosis in the laparoscope group and manual assistance group for IHVC and PV were 5 ± 1 vs. 1 ± 1 min (P < 0.01), and 5 ± 1 vs. 1 ± 1 min (P < 0.01), respectively. The anhepatic phase was 43 ± 4 min in the laparoscope group and 23 ± 2 min in the manual assistance group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that magnetic-assisted laparoscopic liver transplantation can be successfully carried out in pigs.

Subcutaneous injection of IFN alpha-2b for COVID-19: an observational study.

BACKGROUND: The global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is ongoing and associated with high mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous injection of interferon alpha-2b (IFN alpha-2b) combined with lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) in the treatment of COVID-19 infection, compared with that of using LPV/r alone. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection in Wuhan Red Cross hospital during the period from January 23, 2020 to March 19, 2020 were included. The length of stay, the time to viral clearance and adverse reactions during hospitalization were compared between patients using oral LPV/r and combined therapy of LPV/r and subcutaneous injection of IFN alpha-2b. RESULTS: A total of 22 patients were treated with LPV/r alone and 19 with combined therapy with subcutaneous injection of IFN alpha-2b. The average length of hospitalization in the combination group was shorter than that of LPV/r group (16 ± 9.7 vs 23 ± 10.5 days; P = 0.028). Moreover, the days of hospitalization in early intervention group decreased from 25 ± 8.5 days to 10 ± 2.9 days compared with delayed intervention group (P = 0.001). Combined therapy with IFN alpha-2b also significantly reduced the duration of detectable virus in the upper respiratory tract. No patient in each group was transferred to intensive care unit (ICU) or died during the treatment. There was no significant difference in the adverse effect composition between two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Subcutaneous injection of IFN alpha-2b combined with LPV/r shortened the length of hospitalization and accelerated viral clearance in COVID-19 patients, which deserves further investigation in clinical practice.

Fast and Effective Nonsuture Anastomosis of Magnetic Artificial Blood Vessel Transplantation for Caval Reconstruction in Canines.

BACKGROUND: The resection and reconstruction of the vena cava is frequently needed in tumor resection. The goal of this study was to evaluate the performance of the magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) device for fast nonsuture anastomosis of caval reconstruction with artificial blood vessel transplantation after resection in canines. METHODS: The MCA device consisted of paired neodymium-ferrum-boron (Nd-Fe-B) magnetic rings that were coated with titanium nitride and embedded in a polypropylene shell. Artificial blood vessel transplantation procedure was performed in sixteen canines and then they were divided into 2 groups: MCA group (n = 8), in which the novel magnetic pinned-ring device was used, and the traditional manual suture group (n = 8). In situ artificial blood vessel anastomoses were performed in the inferior vena cava (IVC). The anastomosis time and anastomotic patency and quality were investigated through ultrasonographic scans, angiographic, gross observation, histological staining, and scanning electron microscopy at 24 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS: The IVC anastomoses were reconstructed successfully in all canines and all animals survived. In the MCA group, the operation time for IVC anastomosis with artificial blood vessel was significantly shorter than that in the tradition manual suture group (P < 0.05). Vena cava angiography and ultrasound showed good blood patency. The scanning electron microscope showed the re-endothelialization was smooth and endothelial cells were arranged regularly at the anastomotic site. Histological examination confirmed that the MCA group was associated with infiltration of inflammatory cells compared with the manual suture group. CONCLUSIONS: The MCA device combined with artificial blood vessels is applicable in reconstruction of large vessels after resection. The magnetic pinned-ring device offers a simple, fast, reliable, and effective technique for nonsuture artificial blood vessel anastomosis of caval reconstruction in canines, and the anastomosis is functionally better than the traditional sutured anastomosis.

Genuine 12-Qubit Entanglement on a Superconducting Quantum Processor.

We report the preparation and verification of a genuine 12-qubit entanglement in a superconducting processor. The processor that we designed and fabricated has qubits lying on a 1D chain with relaxation times ranging from 29.6 to 54.6 µs. The fidelity of the 12-qubit entanglement was measured to be above 0.5544±0.0025, exceeding the genuine multipartite entanglement threshold by 21 statistical standard deviations. After thermal cycling, the 12-qubit state fidelity was further improved to be above 0.707±0.008. Our entangling circuit to generate linear cluster states is depth invariant in the number of qubits and uses single- and double-qubit gates instead of collective interactions. Our results are a substantial step towards large-scale random circuit sampling and scalable measurement-based quantum computing.

Magnetic Anastomosis for Biliojejunostomy: First Prospective Clinical Trial.

BACKGROUND: Magnetic compression anastomosis (magnamosis, MCA) has been verified safe and effective by us and others in animal bilioenteric anastomosis (BEA). The objective of the present study was to introduce clinical application of magnetic compression bilioenteric anastomosis (MC-BEA) with a unique device in series of patients. METHODS: Patients with obstructive jaundice with an indication of BEA were prospectively enrolled from 2012 to 2015. After dissection of bile ducts, the mother ring and drainage tube were placed in the proximal bile duct and the purse-string suture was tightened over the drainage tube. The drainage tube was introduced into the jejunal lumen at the anastomotic site and used to guide the daughter ring to assemble with the mother ring. All the patients were routinely followed up for magnets discharge or any complications associated. RESULTS: Forty-one patients were included. Thirty-four (82.9%) patients had a malignant primary disease, while seven (17.1%) had benign disease. The median time for MC-BEA was 10.5 min (interquartile range [IQR] 8.3-13.0 min). No perioperative morbidity or mortality associated with MC-BEA was observed. The median time for a patent bilioenteric anastomosis formation was 19.0 days (IQR 14.5-23.0 days), and the magnets were discharged with a median postoperative duration of 35.0 days (IQR 28.0-43.0 days). With a median follow-up of 547.5 days (range 223-1042 days), no patients had biliary fistula, while two (4.9%) developed anastomotic stricture at 4 months and 14 months after surgery, and underwent reoperation for reconstruction of BEA. CONCLUSIONS: MCA is a safe, effective, and time-saving modality for biliojejunostomy.

An application research on a novel internal grasper platform and magnetic anchoring guide system (MAGS) in laparoscopic surgery.

BACKGROUND: Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery attempt to reduce transabdominal port sites. These require all instruments to pass through a single access point, leading to instruments collide or work at unfamiliar angles. Thus, we designed an internal grasper under magnetic anchoring guide system (MAGS) platform and investigated its utility and operability. METHODS: We measured the configuration for magnetic force decay over distance using a standardized, ex vivo laboratory testing apparatus. An electronic balance was used to measure the force of the gallbladder pull in ten patients with gallbladder stones. One pig (11 mm abdominal wall thickness) underwent a compressed trial of MAGS platform. The device was left in place for 20 min before tissue sections were harvested, and histologic assessment was performed. The utility and operability were investigated in four pigs (38-280 kg weight). RESULTS: The magnetic attraction force decayed exponentially over distance; the force of pulling gallbladder was 7.46 ± 0.54 N. This pairing of components allowed for coupling to a theoretical distance of 10 mm. No gross tissue damage was observed. H-E stain showed no necrosis in all specimens. One failed due to wall thickness of 45 mm. Others showed the critical view, triangulation of instruments was obtained, and instrument collision or "sword fighting" was reduced. CONCLUSIONS: The MAGS platform overcomes limitations such as collisions and lack of triangulation, reduces transabdominal port sites, and is easy to operate. However, our internal grasper requires the abdominal wall thickness below 10 mm.

Treatment of rectovaginal fistula by magnetic compression.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Rectovaginal fistula (RVF) is an abnormal epithelium-lined connection between the rectum and vagina. The primary effective treatment is surgical repair, but recurrence remains a challenge. Magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA), an alternative to suturing, has been developed to generate an anastomosis between various hollow viscera. We hypothesized that the MCA approach could be used to treat RVF. METHOD: We designed a novel MCA device for RVF treatment and evaluated the magnetic compression procedure in a RVF pig model in comparison with the traditional suturing procedure. Following satisfactory outcomes, we also applied the MCA procedure to a human patient with recurrent RVF. The MCA device was designed based on the anatomical characteristics of the pig vagina and previous literature. The pig RVF model were established surgically (n = 12), and compression and control groups were each treated. The data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS: qqExcept in one animal in each group, the RVF site was smooth and healing was complete. Histological analysis confirmed complete healing of the RVF with high histological continuity to neighboring tissues. The compression procedure applied to our patient with RVF was successful. The patient recovered quickly without complications, and RVF did not recur during a 15-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: From this preliminary investigation, MCA using our novel device appears to be a safe, simple, and effective nonsurgical procedure for the treatment of RVF.

Decomposition and tunability of expression noise in the presence of coupled feedbacks.

Expression noise results in cell-to-cell variability in expression levels, and feedback regulation may complicate the tracing of sources of this noise. Using a representative model of gene expression with feedbacks, we analytically show that the expression noise (or the total noise) is decomposed into three parts: feedback-dependent promoter noise determined by a continuous approximation, birth-death noise determined by a simple Poisson process, and correlation noise induced by feedbacks. We clarify confused relationships between feedback and noise in previous studies, by showing that feedback-regulated noisy sources have different contributions to the total noise in different cases of promoter switching (it is an essential reason resulting in confusions). More importantly, we find that there is a tradeoff between response time and expression noise. In addition, we show that in contrast to single feedbacks, coupled positive and negative feedbacks can perform better in tuning expression noise, controlling expression levels, and maintaining response time. The overall analysis implies that living organisms would utilize coupled positive and negative feedbacks for better survival in complex and fluctuating environments.

Fast magnetic reconstruction of the portal vein with allogeneic blood vessels in canines.

BACKGROUND: The resection and reconstruction of large vessels, including the portal vein, are frequently needed in tumor resection. Warm ischemia before reconstruction might have deleterious effects on the function of some vital organs and therefore, how to reconstruct the vessels quickly after resection is extremely important. The present study was to introduce a new type of magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) device to establish a quick non-suture anastomosis of the portal vein after resection in canines. METHODS: The new MCA device consists of a pair of titanium alloy and neodymium-ferrum-boron magnet (Ti-NdFeB) composite rings. The NdFeB magnetic ring as a core of the device was hermetically sealed inside the biomedical titanium alloy case. Twelve canines were divided into two groups: a MCA group in which the end-to-end anastomoses was made with a new device after resection in the portal vein and a traditional manual suture (TMS) group consisted of 6 canines. The anastomosis time, anastomotic patency and quality were investigated at week 24 postoperatively. RESULTS: The portal vein was reconstructed successfully in all of the animals and they all survived. The duration of portal vein anastomosis was significantly shorter in the MCA group than in the TMS group (8.16+/-1.25 vs 36.24+/-2.17 min, P<0.05). Portography and ultrasound showed that the blood flow was normal without angiostenosis or thrombosis in all of the canines. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and electron microscope scanning showed in contrast to the TMS group, MCA anastomotic intimal was much smoother with more regularly arranged endothelial cells at week 24 postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: The Ti-NdFeB composite MCA device was applicable in reconstruction of large vessels after resection. This device was easy to use and the anastomosis was functionally better than the traditional sutured anastomosis.

Changes of plasma concentration of osteoprotegerin and its association with endothelial dysfunction before and after hypouricemic therapy in patients with hyperuricemia.

OBJECTIVE: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secreted glycoprotein in the regulation of bone turnover. Recently, many studies showed that OPG acts as an important regulatory molecule in the vascular systems. Our objective was to examine the plasma OPG levels alteration and its association with endothelial function before and after hypouricemic therapy in patients with hyperuricemia. METHODS: Thirty patients (28 males and 2 females, serum uric acid > 7.0 mg/dl) with hyperuricemia were selected. Thirty healthy individuals (28 males and 2 females) with normal serum uric acid were also selected as control. Patients were administered with hypouricemic therapy for 6 months. Plasma OPG concentration was measured in duplicate using a sandwich ELISA and high-resolution ultrasound was used to measure brachial artery diameter at rest, after reactive hyperemia and after sublingual glyceryltrinitrate. RESULTS: Plasma OPG levels in patients with hyperuricemia before hypouricemic therapy was significantly higher than those in controls (3.39 ± 0.25 vs. 2.05 ± 0.74 ng/L, p < 0.01). After hypouricemic therapy, OPG levels decreased markedly (2.54 ± 0.38 ng/L, p < 0.01). Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in patients with hyperuricemia was 3.07 ± 1. 23%, which was significantly lower than that in control subjects (4.62 ± 0.69%, p < 0.01), and it improved significantly after hypouricemic therapy (3.91 ± 1.37%, p < 0.01). The absolute changes in OPG showed a significant positive correlation with the changes in serum uric acid (p < 0.05) and negative correlation with the changes in FMD (p < 0.01) in patients with hyperuricemia during the course of hypouricemic therapy. CONCLUSION: The current study demonstrates that plasma OPG levels increased significantly in patients with hyperuricemia and decreased significantly after hypouricemic therapy, and are correlated with FMD. These findings support the growing concept that elevated plasma OPG levels may be involved with the development of endothelial dysfunction in patients with hyperuricemia.

[The Development of Anastomat of Digestive Tract Based on the Magnetic Compressive Technique].

A new anastomat for digestive tract operations, based on the magnetic compressive technique and mechanical transmission mechanism, is composed of a removable head and a reusable body. The head includes two parts: the proximal end can be fixed to the body, and the distal end could be used for performing a purse string suture. The procedure of anastomosis is similar to that of the stapler, and the anastomoses is established using a pair of magnetic rings. The instrument makes magnamosis more simple and feasible, and it would facilitate the clinical application. The body of the anastomat is reusable and the head could be replaced according to the clinical scenarios, these could reduce the medical cost. The magnetic rings would be excreted with the feces, and there is no foreign body response at last.

[The development of the system of blood flow block by using magnetic compression abdominal large vascular].

A new system of blood flow block for control of bleeding in abdominal operation is composed of an abdominal magnetic blocking unit, an abdominal external electromagnet unit and other non-magnetic operation instrument. The abdominal external electromagnetic unit is placed in advance in the operation bed. The abdominal magnetic blocking unit can be placed directly on the ventral of the large vessels when need to blocking the abdominal large vessels during the operation. According to the non-contact suction characteristics of magnetic materials, the two magnetic units will attract each other and compression the vessels. Using this system for vascular occlusion does not need clear exposure and without separating vessel. There is the advantage of rapid, accurate and reliable for the system.

Stochastic analysis and control for a delayed Hepatitis B epidemic model.

Considering the time delay originating from a certain incubation period or asymptomatic state, we propose a delayed epidemic system within the noisy environment of the hepatitis B virus to analyze the mechanism of disease transmission and elucidate how to control it by applying the strategy of vaccinating and treatment. Applying stochastic Lyapunov functional theory, we first construct an integral Lyapunov function coupling the time delay and stochastic fluctuation to investigate whether there exists a unique global solution to the model. Next, we yield the threshold condition for controlling disease extinction, and persistence, as well as its stationary distribution. Governed by these sufficient conditions, we study the existence of optimal control solutions in deterministic and stochastic scenarios to uncover how to accelerate disease extinction through vaccination and treatment. The results indicate that the time delay will prolong the duration of the disease for the original system but suppress the peak value of HBV in the controlled system. Finally, we verify the versatility of theoretical results by numerical simulations. These results will effectively decipher the importance of the time delay in the control of hepatitis B.

Memory induced-mechanism of noise attenuator of myosin V molecular motors.

Depending on the chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis, myosin V can drive the multistep and continuous coupled cycling process to transport cellular cargo to targeted regions. However, it is still obscure how the molecular memory induced by the multistep coupled transported process could regulate the dynamic behavior of the motor state of myosin V. Here, we propose a novel non-Markovian polymorphic mechanochemical model to investigate the effect of the molecular memory on the mechanic of noise attenuation of myosin V system. We first define an effective transition rate for a multistep coupled reaction process which is the function of memory and system states to transform equivalently the non-Markovian process into the classical Markov process. By noise decomposition technology, it is observed that both the intrinsic and extrinsic noises of the ADP-myosin V bound state (AM ⋅ ADP) exhibit a monotonically decreasing trend with lengthening the molecular memory. Molecular memory as a regulation factor can amplify the contribution of intrinsic noise to the overall noise while reducing the influence of extrinsic noise on the AM ⋅ ADP. Moreover, the modulation of molecular memory could induce stochastic focusing. These results indicate that the role of molecular memory in the myosin V state transition can not only offer a handle to maintain the robustness of the motion system but also serve as a paradigm for studying more complex molecular motors.

[The development of extrahepatic portacaval shunt device based on magnetic compression technique through the interventional procedure].

A device of extrahepatic portacaval shunt is introduced. This device is composed of the daughter and parent magnets and the vascular interventional operation equipment. It is based on the principle of magnetic compression technology, through the intervention approach the daughter and mother magnet are moved to the portal vein and inferior vena cava, respectively. Then the two magnets attract and compress the vessel walls of portal vein and inferior vena cava. Two weeks later, the magnets are detached from the vessel wall with a RUPS-set and the portacaval shunt is established. It is mainly used for the treatment of portal hypertension. It belongs to the interventional operation, there is no any foreign body remaining after the portacaval shunt is established, which can maintain long-term patency. Futhermore the portacaval shunt will not be expanded, therefore it can significantly reduce the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy.

Magnetic anchor technique assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy in swine.

Magnetic anchor device based on the principle of magnet heteropolar attraction can assist laparoscopic surgery and reduce abdominal wall trauma. This study explored the feasibility of use of our self-designed magnetic anchor device for reduced-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) through animal experiments. Twelve experimental pigs (15-20 kg) were randomly divided into study group (magnetic anchor technique assisted 2-port LC, n = 6) and control group (conventional 3-port LC, n = 6). Operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. LC was successfully performed in all 12 pigs. There was no significant between-group difference with respect to operative time (study group: 35.83 ± 5.12 min; control group: 34.50 ± 5.13 min, P = 0.662) or intraoperative blood loss (< 50 mL per animal in both groups). In the experimental group, there was no malfunction of the magnetic anchoring device, the use process was smooth, and the tissue traction and surgical field exposure were satisfactory. There were no perioperative complications such as bile duct injury, bile leakage, or bleeding in both groups. We demonstrated the feasibility of use of the self-designed magnetic anchor device in reduced-port LC. The device has important clinical application value.
