ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the serum levels of soluble programmed death-1 (sPD-1) and soluble programmed death-ligand 1 (sPD-L1) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with clinical cure, the correlation between programmed death-1 (PD-1) and lymphocytes by flow cytometry, and the recovery of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific immunity. Methods A total of 26 CHB patients with clinical cure, 26 treatment-naïve CHB patients, and 26 healthy controls who were diagnosed at the outpatient service of Peking University First Hospital from January to May of 2022 were enrolled, and related clinical data and peripheral blood samples were collected. ELISA was used to measure the serum levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1, and flow cytometry was used to measure the expression of PD-1 in peripheral blood lymphocytes. CHB patients with clinical cure were compared with the treatment-naïve CHB patients and the healthy controls. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between three groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Pearson correlation analysis or the Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between two continuous variables. Results For the 26 CHB patients with clinical cure, the mean time of antiviral therapy was 8.33 years, with entecavir as the antiviral drug. The CHB patients with clinical cure had significantly higher levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 than the healthy controls ( P 0.05). Conclusion The serum levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 in treatment-naïve CHB patients are mainly associated with exhausted CD8 + T cells in peripheral blood, while there is no significant correlation between serum sPD-1/sPD-L1 and exhausted CD8 + T cells in peripheral blood in CHB patients with clinical cure.

ABSTRACT
The brain-computer interface (BCI) based on motor imagery electroencephalography (MI-EEG) enables direct information interaction between the human brain and external devices. In this paper, a multi-scale EEG feature extraction convolutional neural network model based on time series data enhancement is proposed for decoding MI-EEG signals. First, an EEG signals augmentation method was proposed that could increase the information content of training samples without changing the length of the time series, while retaining its original features completely. Then, multiple holistic and detailed features of the EEG data were adaptively extracted by multi-scale convolution module, and the features were fused and filtered by parallel residual module and channel attention. Finally, classification results were output by a fully connected network. The application experimental results on the BCI Competition IV 2a and 2b datasets showed that the proposed model achieved an average classification accuracy of 91.87% and 87.85% for the motor imagery task, respectively, which had high accuracy and strong robustness compared with existing baseline models. The proposed model does not require complex signals pre-processing operations and has the advantage of multi-scale feature extraction, which has high practical application value.

Objective:To detect mutations in a pedigree containing two brothers with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) by whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing.Methods:Clinical data were collected from a pedigree with OCA, and DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples obtained from the proband and other family members. The whole-exome coding region of the proband was directly sequenced by whole-exome sequencing technology to identify potential pathogenic mutations, and Sanger sequencing was conducted to verify the gene mutations.Results:Both the proband and his younger brother presented with generalized white skin, golden-yellow hair, bilateral nystagmus, photophobia, translucent iris, conjunctival congestion, and refractive errors of both eyes. The proband′s parents, grandparents, maternal grandparents, and children were all phenotypically normal, and his parents′ marriage was non-consanguineous. Three heterozygous mutations were identified in the OCA2 gene of both the proband and his younger brother, including a nonsense mutation c.1290T>A, and 2 missense mutations c.1363A>G and c.1204T>C. The mutation c.1204T>C has not been previously reported, and was a novel gene mutation in the OCA2 gene. In addition, 1 heterozygous mutation c.1204T>C was identified in the OCA2 gene in the proband′s father and daughter, 2 heterozygous mutations c.1290T>A and c.1363A>G were found in the OCA2 gene in the proband′s mother, and 1 heterozygous mutation c.1290T>A was identified in the OCA2 gene in the proband′s son and the daughter of the proband′s younger brother.Conclusions:Three gene mutations were identified in the OCA2 gene in the 2 patients with OCA, and the nonsense mutation c.1290T>A may be the pathogenic mutation causing the clinical phenotype of this family. These findings expand the pathogenic mutational spectrum of the OCA gene.
ABSTRACT
Motor imagery electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are non-stationary time series with a low signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, the single-channel EEG analysis method is difficult to effectively describe the interaction characteristics between multi-channel signals. This paper proposed a deep learning network model based on the multi-channel attention mechanism. First, we performed time-frequency sparse decomposition on the pre-processed data, which enhanced the difference of time-frequency characteristics of EEG signals. Then we used the attention module to map the data in time and space so that the model could make full use of the data characteristics of different channels of EEG signals. Finally, the improved time-convolution network (TCN) was used for feature fusion and classification. The BCI competition IV-2a data set was used to verify the proposed algorithm. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm could effectively improve the classification accuracy of motor imagination EEG signals, which achieved an average accuracy of 83.03% for 9 subjects. Compared with the existing methods, the classification accuracy of EEG signals was improved. With the enhanced difference features between different motor imagery EEG data, the proposed method is important for the study of improving classifier performance.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors for direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) therapy failure in the treatment of hepatitis C by comparing baseline clinical data and resistance-associated substitution (RAS) in sequencing data between the patients with HCV RNA reactivation after DAA therapy and the patients with successful DAA treatment. Methods A total of 13 patients from multiple centers who failed DAA therapy from November 2019 to October 2021 were enrolled as treatment failure group, and sequencing was performed for their positive serum samples. A total of 51 patients with successful DAA treatment were enrolled as control group, and baseline clinical data and sequencing results were compared between the treatment failure group and the control group. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups; univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate odds ratio ( OR ) and investigate the influencing factors for treatment failure. Results All 12 patients with complete treatment data experienced recurrence within 1 year after the end of medication. The male patients with treatment failure had significantly higher baseline total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and creatinine than their female counterparts ( Z =-2.517, -2.440, and -2.132, P =0.010, 0.010, and 0.038), and the patients with an age of ≤55 years ( OR =5.152, 95% confidence interval [ CI ]: 1.116-23.790, P =0.036) or genotype 3b ( OR =9.726, 95% CI : 1.325-71.398, P =0.025) had a higher probability of treatment failure. There were differences in the incidence rates of major RAS mutations on three gene fragments between the treatment failure group and the treatment success group, and the common RAS mutations detected in the treatment failure group were not detected in the treatment success group. Conclusion Age, genotype, and RAS in serum virus gene sequence are influencing factors for DAA treatment failure.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the value of blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/creatinine (Cr) ratio for guiding the access route of double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) for small intestinal bleeding.Methods:The clinical information was collected from 105 patients who underwent DBE for suspected small intestinal bleeding at Air Force Medical Center from January 2015 to October 2019. Patients were divided into the elevated BUN/Cr group ( n=52) and the normal BUN/Cr group ( n=53), with a cut-off value of 81. Comparison was made for the detection rate of lesions between the oral route and anal route separately in the two groups using Chi-square test. Results:Among the 105 patients with suspected small intestinal bleeding, definite causes of bleeding were identified in 79 patients by DBE, and the overall lesion detection rate was 75.24% (79/105). In the elevated BUN/Cr group, the overall lesion detection rate was 76.92% (40/52), among which 79.49% (31/39) was through oral and 47.37% (9/19) through anal enteroscopy. In the normal BUN/Cr group, the overall lesion detection rate was 73.58% (39/53), and 63.64% (21/33) was transoral and 51.43% (18/35) transanal. The lesion detection rate of transoral enteroscopy in the elevated group was significantly higher than that in the normal group ( χ2=6.576, P=0.010). There was no significant difference in the lesion detection rate of transanal enteroscopy between the two groups ( χ2=2.230, P=0.135). Conclusion:For patients with active small intestinal bleeding (active bleeding within 48 hours), the BUN/Cr ratio higher than 81 may indicate that DBE should be performed firstly via oral route.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of hyperuricemia on the prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) using propensity score matching (PSM) method.Methods:IgAN patients proven by biopsy were included. PSM was used to match patients. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of hyperuricemia on IgAN prognosis. Primary outcome events were defined as death, or end-stage renal disease (dialysis, transplantation), or a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than 40%. Renal outcome was defined as end-stage renal disease (dialysis, transplantation), or a decrease in eGFR greater than 40%.Results:A total of 1 454 IgAN patients were included in this study, including 850 females and 604 males. Uric acid level was (368.26±92.87) μmol/L in the males, and (277.23±92.71) μmol/L in the females. The median follow-up time was 85.00(56.10, 106.33) months. During the follow-up period, a total of 134 patients reached the primary outcome events, including 5 deaths, 24 dialysis patients, 5 kidney transplant patients, and 100 patients with eGFR decreased by more than 40%. After 1∶1 matching, 131 males and 159 females in the hyperuricemia group were successfully matched with 131 males and 159 females in the normal uric acid group, and there was no significant statistical difference in each parameter in baseline between the hyperuricemia group and normal uric acid group after matching. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that either before or after matching, the incidence of primary outcome events in male or female patients with hyperuricemia was higher than those with normal uric acid, but there was no statistically significant difference in incidence of primary outcome events between female hyperuricemia group and female normal uric acid group after matching (Log-rank test, χ2=3.586, P=0.058). Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that, in the pre-match fully adjusted model, the hazard ratio ( HR) of entering primary outcome events was 2.29-fold (95% CI 1.27-4.11, P=0.006) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.85-fold (95% CI 1.01-3.37, P=0.045) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. In the post-match fully adjusted model, the HR of entering primary outcome events was 2.41-fold (95% CI 1.18-4.93, P=0.016) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.83-fold (95% CI 0.91-3.67, P=0.091) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. In the pre-match fully adjusted model, the HR of entering renal outcome events was 2.68-fold (95% CI 1.47-4.88, P=0.001) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.81-fold (95% CI 0.99-3.33, P=0.056) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. In the post-match fully adjusted model, the HR of entering renal outcome events was 2.89-fold (95% CI 1.36-6.15, P=0.006) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.81-fold (95% CI 0.88-3.72, P=0.106) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. Conclusion:Hyperuricemia may be associated with IgAN progression, and it has a more significant effect on male IgAN patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical application value of group A Streptococcus (GAS) antigen rapid detection method in children suffering from GAS infection.Methods:A total of 44 733 children with suspected GAS infection who were admitted to the Outpatient and Inpatient Departments of Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019.Throat swab specimens from all children were collected, and BinaxNOW Strep A Test reagent was used for GAS antigen rapid detection.Among them, the throat swabs of 346 children were inoculated with blood culture medium for traditional bacterial culture, and then the GAS antigen rapid detection was tested.The sensitivity and specificity of the two methods were compared, and according to the result of the GAS antigen rapid detection, its age, gender and seasonal trends were analyzed.SPSS 19.0 software was applied for statistical analysis of the data.Results:Among the 346 children tested by both methods, the results of bacterial culture were adopted as the reference method, the sensitivity of the rapid detection method for GAS antigen was 89.41%(152/170 cases), and the specificity was 94.32%(166/176 cases) compared with culture methods.A total of 44 733 cases GAS antigen were tested in children in Shenzhen, of which 10 024 cases were positive, with the positive detection rate of 22.41%.The trend of GAS antigen rapid detection was consistent with the five-year trend, with the high positive rate of 3-8 years, of which 4-6 years of positive rate was the highest.The two seasonal peaks were evident each year, with peaks occurring in April-June, and November and January of next year.The detection rate ratio of male and female was 1.74∶1, and the gender difference was significant ( χ2=27.93, P<0.000 1). GAS antigen rapid detection rate in different clinical departments from high to low in order are as follows: dermatology outpatient (52.34%), emergency clinic (47.74%), internal medicine outpatient (37.36%), infectious disease area (19.71%), five-level disease area (10.27%), internal medicine area (8.63%), surgical areas (7.34%) and neonatal areas (0). Conclusions:GAS antigen rapid detection method and bacterial culture method have high coincidence rate, and high sensitivity and specificity, and can be popularized and applied in the diagnosis of GAS infectious diseases in children.GAS detection rate is higher in outpatient emergency department and dermatology clinics.There are obvious differences from seasonal and population (age and gender) in the positive detection of GAS antigen.No neonates were found.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the virologic response to direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy and the changes in liver stiffness measurement (LSM), fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) after treatment in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients with different alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels at baseline in a real-world setting. MethodsCHC patients who attended the outpatient service of Department of Infectious Diseases, Peking University First Hospital, from December 2017 to May 2020 were enrolled, and virologic response rate was calculated. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare LSM, FIB-4, and APRI between groups at baseline and at 12 weeks after treatment, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsA total of 48 CHC patients were enrolled, among whom 33.3% had abnormal ALT or AST at baseline. Among these patients, the virologic response rate was 85.4% at week 4 of treatment and 100% at the end of treatment and at 12, 24, and 48 weeks after treatment, and there were significant changes from baseline to 12 weeks after treatment in LSM ［6.1 (51-12.4) kPa vs 8.6 (5.7-16.9) kPa, Z=-1.676, P=0.043］ and APRI ［0.24(0.19-0.48) vs 0.42(0.23-1.17), Z=-2.050, P=0027］. From baseline to 12 weeks after treatment, the patients with abnormal ALT or AST at baseline had significant changes in LSM ［89(5.6-13.1) kPa vs 14.4(8.0-28.2) kPa, Z=-1.679, P=0.047］ and APRI ［0.44(0.25-0.50) vs 1.29(0.99-2.09), Z=-3.427, P=0.001］. ConclusionCHC patients achieve a high sustained virologic response rate after DAA therapy, and the patients with abnormal ALT or AST at baseline tend to have more significant improvements in LSM and APRI than those without such abnormality.
ABSTRACT
The endangered medicinal plant Glehnia littoralis is one of the important natural source of furanocoumarin, which has been used as mucolytic, antitussive, antitumour and antibacterial. However, the genetic information of furanocoumarin biosynthesis in G. littoralis is scarce at present. The objective of this study was to mine the putative candidate genes involved in the biosynthesis pathway of furanocoumarin and provide references for gene identification, and functional genomics of G. littoralis. We carried out the transcriptome analysis of leaves and roots in G. littoralis, which provided a dataset for gene mining. Psoralen, imperatorin and isoimperatorin were detected in G. littoralis by high performance liquid chromatography analysis. Candidate key genes were mined based on the annotations and local BLAST with homologous sequences using BioEdit software. The relative expression of genes was analysed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Further, the CYP450 genes were mined using phylogenetic analyses using MEGA 6.0 software. A total of 156,949 unigenes were generated, of which 9021 were differentially-expressed between leaves and roots. A total of 82 unigenes encoding eight enzymes in furanocoumarin biosynthetic pathway were first obtained. Seven genes that encoded key enzymes in the downstream furanocoumarin biosynthetic pathway and expressed more in roots than leaves were screened. Twenty-six candidate CYP450 unigenes expressed abundantly in roots and were chiefly concentrated in CYP71, CYP85 and CYP72 clans. Finally, we filtered 102 differentially expressed transcription factors (TFs) unigenes. The transcriptome of G. littoralis was characterized which would help to elucidate the furanocoumarin biosynthetic pathway in G. littoralis and provide an invaluable resource for further study of furanocoumarin.
ABSTRACT
Congenital heart diseases of diminutive pulmonary blood are characterized by the decrease of pulmonary blood flow accompanied with pulmonary stenosis or atresia.Diminutive pulmonary blood leads to abnormal development of lung, the formation of major aorta pulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) and a complex cardiac anatomy structure in children, thereby resulting in serious clinical symptoms, poor quality of life and even life-threatening conditions.Therefore, diminutive pulmonary blood is a thorny problem in the treatment of cardiac malformation.However, the etiology and pathogenesis of this disease have not been elucidated yet.The clinical treatment plan and time depend on the disease type and MAPCAs.In this paper, the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment progress of congenital heart diseases of diminutive pulmonary blood were reviewed.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and appropriate treatment of occult pneumococcal bacteremia (OPB) in children.Methods:The clinical characteristics, drug sensitivity and antibiotic use of 39 children with OPB who met the inclusion criteria in the Pediatric Internal Medicine Ward of Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from January 2013 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The median age of onset in OPB in children was 2 years and 4 months, and 74.4% of children(29/39 cases) were between 6 months and 3 years.The average total fever duration was 3.69 days (1-14 days), and the average hospital stay was 6.74 days.Peripheral blood white blood cell count was >15×10 9/L in 89.7% (35/39 cases) of the children, C-reactive protein was increased in 76.9% (30/39 cases) of the children, and procalcitonin > 2 mg/L in 38.9% (14/36 cases) of the children.During hospita-lization, all the children received the treatment of intravenous antibiotics.The antibiotics used initially included Cefuroxime in 11 cases (28.2%), Amoxicillin sulbactam sodium in 10 cases (25.6%), Ceftriaxone sodium in 7 cases (17.9%) and Meloxicillin sulbactam in 6 cases (15.4%). The average fever clearance time after the antibiotic therapy was 1.4 days, and the average intravenous antibiotics treatment time was 6.2 days.The results indicated that the insensitivity rate of Penicillin was 46.2%, the insensitivity rate of Amoxicillin, Ceftriaxone and Cefotaxime were 22.2%, 10.3% and 17.9%, respectively, Erythromycin resistant rate was 100.0%, and no patient was resistant to Vancomycin and Linezolid. Conclusions:OPB occurs most frequently in infants aged from 6 months to 3 years old, with low drug resistance to Amoxicillin, Ceftriaxone and Cefotaxime.Children with complete immunity have shorter fever duration and good prognosis after antibiotic treatment.
ABSTRACT
Since the development of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus(HCV), more than 95% of the patients with hepatitis C can be cured, but a very small proportion of patients still face treatment failure. There are many reasons for treatment failure, among which HCV genotype and resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) in virus genes show a certain impact. This article mainly introduces the RASs associated with the NS5B and NS5A gene fragments in genotype 2/3 HCV, summarizes the distribution of RASs, and compares the difference in the distribution of RASs between previously untreated chronic hepatitis C patients and patients with treatment failure.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics, genomic variations and macrolide resistance of Bordetella pertussis ( B. pertussis) strains circulating in Shenzhen with clinical data analysis, genotype profiling, phylogenetic analysis and antimicrobial susceptibility test. Methods Clinical data of patients with pertussis in Shenzhen Children's Hospital were collected from the electronic medical re-cord system. Genome sequences of 31 B. pertussis isolates were analyzed with next-generation sequencing and de novo assembled. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was performed to identify their sequences types. Sequence alignment by BLASTn was used to identify virulence genotypes and mutations in 23S rRNA gene. A phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze the relationships among them. E-test was used to identify ma-crolide resistance. Results All of the 31 B. pertussis strains were identified as sequence type-2 (ST-2) by MLST with diverse virulence genotypes. Two were prn-deficient strains. Based on the phylogenetic tree, all of the isolates were distant from vaccine strains. Nineteen isolates were resistant to erythromycin with A2047G mutation in 23S rRNA. Conclusions The virulence genotypes of B. pertussis strains in Shenzhen were diverse with increasing non-vaccine genotypes. Macrolide-resistant strains were prevalent. This study might provide reference for improving the prevention, management and vaccination strategy of pertussis.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the influence of psychological intervention before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on mental stress, coping style and related factors of depression in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).@*Methods@#281 patients with ACS who were treated in our hospital from March 2016 to August 2018 were selected as the study subjects. According to whether psychological intervention was given to ACS patients before PCI, they were divided into intervention group (n = 135) and control group (n = 146). SCL-90 was used to assess mental stress and MCMQ was used to assess coping styles. The changes of mental stress and coping style before and after operation were compared between the two groups. To investigate the incidence of depression in ACS patients after PCI and analyze the related factors affecting their depression.@*Results@#After PCI, the scores of somatization, obsessive-compulsive disorder, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, fear, paranoia, psychosis and bedtime status were decreased in the SCL-90 scores of the intervention group and the control group (P<0.05). The reduction in the intervention group was more obvious, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After PCI, there was no significant difference in avoidance and yield between the two groups (P>0.05), and there was no significant difference between the two groups before PCI (P>0.05). After PCI, the face score of intervention group was higher than that of control group (P<0.05), and compared with pre-PCI, the difference was also statistically significant (P<0.05). Of the 281 patients with ACS, 84 (29.89%) had depression after PCI. In the intervention group, 26 patients (19.26%) suffered from depression, and 58 patients (39.73%) in the control group suffered from depression. The prevalence of depression in the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis showed that the degree of coronary artery disease, education and psychological intervention before PCI were closely related to ACS patients with post-PCI complicated with depression.@*Conclusion@#Psychological intervention can improve the stress of ACS patients and reduce the negative response. At the same time, it can reduce the risk of depression after PCI.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of radical resection with individualized surgical approach for borderline resectable pancreatic head carcinoma.Methods The retrospective descriptive study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 54 patients with borderline resectable pancreatic head carcinoma who underwent radical resection with individualized surgical approach in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2015 to January 2018 were collected.There were 37 males and 17 females,aged from 37 to 73 years,with a median age of 59 years.For venous type borderline resectable pancreatic head carcinoma,surgery for pancreatic head carcinoma and (or) pancreatic head and neck carcinoma was performed via inferior mesenteric vein,and surgery for pancreatic uncinate process carcinoma was performed via inferior colon artery.For arterial type borderline resectable pancreatic head carcinoma,surgery for pancreatic head carcinoma and (or) pancreatic head and neck carcinoma was performed via medial uncinate artery,and surgery for pancreatic uncinate process carcinoma was performed via left posterior artery.Observation indicators:(1) surgical situations;(2) postoperative complications;(3) postoperative pathological examination;(4) follow-up.Patients were followed up by outpatient examination or telephone interview once every 3 months to detect survival up to March 2019.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented by Mean ± SD.Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented by M (range),and count data were represented by absolute numbers or percentage.Kaplan-meier method was used to draw the survival curve and calculate the survival rate.Results (1) Surgical situations:all the 54 patients underwent expanded pancreatoduodenectomy combined with superior mesenteric vein/portal vein (SMV/PV) resection,including 15 via inferior mesenteric vein,20 via inferior colon artery,12 via medial uncinate artery,and 7 via left posterior artery.The operation time was (320± 83)minutes,and the volume of intraoperative blood loss was (865±512) mL.(2) Postoperative complications:of 54 cases,28 had postoperative complications,including 13 with grade 1 Clavien-Dindo complications,12 with grade 2 ClavienDindo complications,3 with grade 3 or above Clavien-Dindo complications.One of the 28 patients with postoperative complications died and 27 were improved after symptomatic and supportive treatment.(3) Postoperative pathological examination:of 54 patients,31 had R0 resection and 23 had R1 resection.In the 23 patients with R1 resection,5 underwent surgery via the inferior mesenteric vein (4 with involvement of pancreatic anterior surface,1 with involvement of both pancreatic anterior and posterior surface),9 underwent surgery via the inferior colon artery (2 with involvement of both pancreatic anterior and posterior surface,2 with involvement of superior mesenteric artery margin,2 with involvement of pancreatic posterior surface,2 with involvement of pancreatic anterior surface,1 with involvement of superior mesenteric artery margin and pancreatic posterior surface),5 underwent surgery via the medial uncinate process artery (2 with involvement of superior mesenteric artery margin,2 with involvement of both pancreatic anterior and posterior surface,1 with involvement of pancreatic neck transected margin),and 4 underwent surgery via the left posterior artery (3 with involvement of superior mesenteric artery margin,1 with involvement of both pancreatic anterior and posterior surface).Of 54 patients,16 had no positive lymph nodes,26 had 1-3 positive lymph nodes,and 12 had 4 or more positive lymph nodes.The tumor diameter was (3.20±0.14)cm.There were 48 of 54 patients with nerve infiltration,41 with superior mesenteric vein and/or portal vein infiltration,and 11 with vascular thrombus.There were 17 of 54 patients with high differentiation and medium differentiation,and 37 with low differentiation and undifferentiation.(4) Follow-up:54 patients were followed up for 1-42 months,with a median time of 19 months.The 1-,3-year overall survival rate was 78.0％,11.4％.Condusion As for the borderline resectable pancreatic head cancer,individualized and customized surgical approach according to the location of tumor and the relationship with blood vessels is helpful to standardize the radical resection and avoid R2 resection.
