RESUMEN

Objective: To analyze the correlation between changes in the concentration of glyphosate (GLY) and its metabolites (AMPA) in patients with acute glyphosate poisoning and clinical symptoms, and to provide reference for the study of glyphosate toxicity. Methods: Urine samples from 5 patients with oral glyphosate poisoning admitted to the Emergency Department of Yangzhou Third Class A General Hospital from February to July 2021 were collected. Urine concentrations of GLY and AMPA were measured using derivatization gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and analyzed based on the patient's clinical manifestations and treatment process. Results: The main symptoms of the patient after poisoning were acute gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc. The concentration of GLY in the patient's urine reached its maximum on the first day and gradually decreased over time. On the day of discharge, the final concentration of GLY was 10% lower than the initial concentration. At discharge, the clearance rates of GLY in cases 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 96.97%, 95.91%, 96.87% and 92.87%, respectively. Conclusion: The glyphosate has a shorter maintenance time after entering the human body; There is no correlation between the concentration of glyphosate and its metabolites admitted to the hospital, the dose of poisoning, and clinical symptoms in poisoned patients.

RESUMEN

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) are one of the most severe complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This study includes 31 cases of aplastic anemia (AA) patients who developed PTLD after haploidentical transplantation, summarizing their clinical characteristics and categorizing them into either rituximab monotherapy group or combination therapy group based on whether their condition improved by 1 log after a single dose of rituximab. The incidence of PTLD after HSCT in children with AA was 10.16%, and the incidence of PTLD in patients with age >10 years was significantly increased (χ(2)=11.336, P=0.010). Of the 31 patients, 27 were clinically diagnosed and 4 were pathologically confirmed. Finally, 15 patients were classified into the rituximab treatment group and 15 patients into the combination treatment groups. Finally three patients died, and the 2-year overall survival rate was (89.7±5.6) %. Standard pre-treatment protocols and EBV reactivation are risk factors affecting the prognosis of PTLD. There was no statistically significant difference in the impact of the two treatment schemes on prognosis.

RESUMEN

Objective: To explore whether transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) can improve the prognosis of esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) combined with sarcopenia in cirrhotic patients. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed. A total of 464 cases with cirrhotic EGVB who received standard or TIPS treatment between January 2017 and December 2019 were selected. Regular follow-up was performed for the long-term after treatment. The primary outcome was transplantation-free survival. The secondary endpoints were rebleeding and overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE). The obtained data were statistically analyzed. The t-test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to compare continuous variables between groups. The χ2 test, or Fisher's exact probability test, was used to compare categorical variables between groups. Results: The age of the included patients was 55.27±13.86 years, and 286 cases were male. There were 203 cases of combined sarcopenia and 261 cases of non-combined sarcopenia. The median follow-up period was 43 months. The two groups had no statistically significant difference in follow-up time. There was no statistically significant difference in transplant-free survival between the TIPS group and the standard treatment group in the overall cohort (HR=1.31, 95%CI: 0.97-1.78, P=0.08). The TIPS patient group with cirrhosis combined with sarcopenia had longer transplant-free survival (median survival: 47.76 vs. 52.45, χ2=4.09; HR=1.55, 95CI: 1.01~2.38, P=0.04). There was no statistically significant difference in transplant-free survival between the two kinds of treatments for patients without sarcopenia (HR=1.22, 95%CI: 0.78~1.88, P=0.39). Rebleeding time was prolonged in TIPS patients with or without sarcopenia combination (patients without combined sarcopenia: median rebleeding time: 39.48 vs. 53.61, χ2=18.68; R=2.47, 95CI: 1.67~3.65, P<0.01; patients with sarcopenia: median rebleeding time: 39.91 vs. 50.68, χ2=12.36; HR=2.20, 95CI: 1.42~3.40, P<0.01). TIPS patients had an increased 1-year OHE incidence rate compared to the standard treatment group (sarcopenia patients: 6.93% vs. 16.67%, χ2=3.87, P=0.049; patients without sarcopenia combination: 2.19% vs. 9.68%, χ2=8.85, P=0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the long-term OHE incidence rate between the two kinds of treatment groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: TIPS can significantly prolong transplant-free survival compared to standard treatment as a secondary prevention of EGVB concomitant with sarcopenia in patients with cirrhosis. However, its advantage is not prominent for patients with cirrhosis in EGVB without sarcopenia.

RESUMEN

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of ectopic bronchogenic cysts in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data including the clinical characteristics, auxiliary examination and treatment of 21 children with ectopic bronchogenic cysts diagnosed pathologically at Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from July 2015 to December 2023. There were 16 males and 5 females, with a male-female ratio of 3.2∶1, and the age ranged from 4 days to 8 years old (median age 2 years and 8 months). Results: Among the 21 cases of ectopic bronchogenic cysts, 11 cases were found in the pharynx, with symptoms including dyspnea (4 cases), snoring during sleep (3 cases), and choking on milk(4 cases).Ten cases were found in the head, neck or anterior chest, 5 of these cases had infection history, and 5 showed progressive mass growth.Imaging and endoscopy showed 9 patients underwent preoperative color ultrasonography revealed cystic masses with well-defined boundaries. CT examination was performed on 13 patients, which showed round or nearly round masses with homogeneous density, smooth margins, and regular cyst walls. CT attenuation values ranged from 2 to 52 Hounsfield Units (HU). Four cystic lesions were assessed via MRI, 3 cases demonstrated long T1 and long T2 signals, while 1 case had a slight short T1 and long T2 signal, with high signal intensity on fat-suppressed images. Eleven cases of pharyngopharyngeal cysts were examined by electronic nasopharyngoscopy. The cysts appeared as spherical or ovoid masses with smooth surfaces, close to or slightly light in color with the surrounding tissue, with one cyst presenting with a bluish blue in the oropharynx. All 11 pharyngeal cysts were excised using low-temperature plasma under general anesthesia and intubation assisted by a nasal endoscope. The cysts were pulled and excised as completely as possible.Ten cases of neck and anterior chest cysts were completely excised. Postoperative histopathology confirmed bronchogenic cyst. Twenty-one children were followed up postoperatively for 4 months to 7 years without recurrence, except for 1 patient who was lost to follow-up. Conclusions: Ectopic bronchogenic cysts are uncommon and lack of typical imaging and clinical features.Combination of ultrasonography, CT and MRI is recommended for cases occuered in neck and anterior chest, while electronic nasopharyngoscopy complements pharyngeal evaluations. Surgical intervention is the preferred treatment choice for this disease.

RESUMEN

Objective: To study the influence of the severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) on the visual function of patients with type 2 diabetes, to provide scientific basis for the early prevention and control of DR. Methods: This study was designed as a cross-sectional study, recruiting already-diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients in four community health service centers in Guizhou Province between February and September 2022. Employing the Chinese version of the Visual Function Index-14 (VF-14), assess the participants' near vision, visual adaptation, subjective visual perception, and stereo vision, with higher scores indicating poorer visual function. Categorize the severity of each eye's damage into no diabetic retinopathy (DR), mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), moderate NPDR, severe NPDR, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and use a 5-level DR grading system to evaluate the overall severity of diabetic retinopathy in both eyes. Employing linear regression analysis to investigate the linear relationship between DR and visual function index. Local weighted regression evaluates the nonlinear relationship between the DR composite score and the scores of visual function, with a steeper slope indicating poorer visual function for that level. Results: A total of 542 patients with type 2 diabetes were investigated, including 244 (45.02%) males, 298 (54.98%) females, and 162 (29.89%) patients with DR. After adjusting for confounders, compared with those without DR, patients with binocular DR Had overall scores (ß=0.136, P=0.003), near vision (ß=0.163, P<0.001), visual adaptation (ß=0.092, P=0.042), subjective vision (ß=0.120, P=0.009) and stereo vision (ß=0.094, P=0.044) were higher than those without DR. There were no differences in visual functions between DR And monocular DR. The local weighted regression curve showed that near vision (slope: 23.78) and overall score (slope: 58.37) increased sharply from mild to moderate NPDR in both eyes. Visual adaptation (slope: 5.37, 7.72), subjective vision (slope: 6.53, 7.93), stereovision (slope: 0.74, 0.91) increased slowly in mild to moderate NPDR in both eyes and in moderate to severe NPDR/PDR in both eyes. Conclusion: Binocular DR is associated with impaired visual function, but there is no difference between monocular DR And non-DR visual function. The early damage of DR To visual function is mainly manifested in near vision. In the prevention and control of DR, more attention should be paid to visual function, especially the change of near vision, and retinal damage should not be assessed solely by visual status.

RESUMEN

To reduce the working coefficient and jitter of the three-electrode gas switch used in linear transformer drivers, a novel trigger method that uses a nanosecond pulse in cooperation with the microplasma jet generated by capillary discharge was developed. A microplasma jet was generated by the nanosecond trigger pulse and injected into the follow-up breakdown gap of the gas switch to decrease the working coefficient. The influence of capillary parameters on the development of the microplasma jet was simulated. The results showed that the microplasma jet significantly reduced the breakdown delay time, jitter, and working coefficient. Increasing the capillary length and decreasing the diameter results in better triggered breakdown performance. Furthermore, the gas switch triggered by a positive pulse exhibits a lower breakdown delay and jitter. Combined with the intensified charge coupled device's shooting results, it can be concluded that the microplasma jet has a distinct influence on streamer formation, which is important for improving the working performance of the gas switch.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: This study aimed to design an autodelineation model based on convolutional neural networks for generating high-risk clinical target volumes and organs at risk in image-guided adaptive brachytherapy for cervical cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A novel SERes-u-net was trained and tested using CT scans from 98 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who underwent image-guided adaptive brachytherapy. The Dice similarity coefficient, 95th percentile Hausdorff distance, and clinical assessment were used for evaluation. RESULTS: The mean Dice similarity coefficients of our model were 80.8%, 91.9%, 85.2%, 60.4%, and 82.8% for the high-risk clinical target volumes, bladder, rectum, sigmoid, and bowel loops, respectively. The corresponding 95th percentile Hausdorff distances were 5.23mm, 4.75mm, 4.06mm, 30.0mm, and 20.5mm. The evaluation results revealed that 99.3% of the convolutional neural networks-generated high-risk clinical target volumes slices were acceptable for oncologist A and 100% for oncologist B. Most segmentations of the organs at risk were clinically acceptable, except for the 25% sigmoid, which required significant revision in the opinion of oncologist A. There was a significant difference in the clinical evaluation of convolutional neural networks-generated high-risk clinical target volumes between the two oncologists (P<0.001), whereas the score differences of the organs at risk were not significant between the two oncologists. In the consistency evaluation, a large discrepancy was observed between senior and junior clinicians. About 40% of SERes-u-net-generated contours were thought to be better by junior clinicians. CONCLUSION: The high-risk clinical target volumes and organs at risk of cervical cancer generated by the proposed convolutional neural networks model can be used clinically, potentially improving segmentation consistency and efficiency of contouring in image-guided adaptive brachytherapy workflow.

RESUMEN

"Different prescriptions with the same name" is a common phenomenon clinically in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Huanglong Decoction can be regarded as a representative example of this phenomenon with many changes to the contents of the decoction during its development. To clarify and identify the typology of Huanglong Decoction, this paper attempts to explore the origins and evolution of almost all types of Huanglong Decoction with an archival method examining data before 1911. It was found that Huanglong Decoction has at least seven main types: Fecal Liquid, Xiaochaihu Decoction Plus or Minus, Tao's, Taiping Shenghui Fang, Shengji Zonglu, Fu's and Zhulin Gynecology Treatment. Xiaochaihu Decoction Plus or Minus (Xiao Chai Hu Tang Jia Jian) includes four subcategories: Yao's Huanglong Decoction, Gujin Luyan Huanglong Decoction, Leizheng Huorenshu Huanglong Decoction, and Qian's Huanglong Decoction. It was also found that Xinjia Huanglong Decoction is derived from Tao's Huanglong Decoction.

RESUMEN

Objective: To explore the association between obesity/overweight and the risk of malignancy in Hürthle cell neoplasms of the thyroid. Methods: The data of patients with complete data who were diagnosed with Hürthle cell neoplasms of the thyroid at the Third Hospital of Peking University from September 2016 to September 2023 were retrospectively collected. Based on postoperative pathological diagnosis, tumors were classified into thyroid Hürthle cell adenoma group and Hürthle cell carcinoma group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to explore the association between overweight/obesity and the risk of malignancy in Hürthle cell neoplasms of the thyroid. Results: A total of 102 patients (13 males and 89 females) were included, aged (48.7±13.1) years. There were 22 cases of thyroid Hürthle cell carcinoma and 80 cases of thyroid Hürthle cell adenoma. Univariate analysis showed that the rate of overweight/obesity in the Hürthle cell carcinoma group was higher than that in the adenoma group [73% (16/22) vs 46% (37/80), P=0.050]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the overweight/obese patients had a higher risk of malignancy in Hürthle cell neoplasms of the thyroid compared with the non-overweight/obese patients (OR=3.170, 95%CI: 1.126-9.955, P=0.035). Sensitivity analysis excluding individuals with multiple tumors was consistent with the main study results (OR=2.878, 95%CI: 0.922-10.228, P=0.080). Conclusion: Overweight/obesity may be associated with a higher risk of malignancy in patients with Hürthle cell neoplasms of the thyroid.

RESUMEN

Objective: To investigate the postoperative outcomes and visual quality following laser blended vision (LBV) surgery for the correction of myopia with presbyopia. Methods: This is a prospective study. A total of 50 patients (100 eyes) who underwent LBV surgery for myopia with presbyopia at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, between August 2021 and March 2022 were included. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) were measured preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively for the dominant eye, non-dominant eye, and both eyes. Effectiveness Index (EI) and Safety Index (SI) were calculated to evaluate refractive outcomes. Accommodation function and contrast sensitivity were assessed to evaluate functional vision. Objective visual quality was assessed using higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and a dual-channel visual quality analysis system. Subjective visual quality was evaluated using a questionnaire. Results: At 24 months postoperatively, the EI and SI for the dominant eye were 1.04±0.23 and 1.14±0.14, respectively, while for the non-dominant eye, they were 0.85±0.21 and 1.06±0.08, respectively. Although there were statistically significant differences in UNVA between the eyes at 1 and 3 months postoperatively (all P<0.05), no significant differences were observed from 6 months onward (all P>0.05). At 6 months postoperatively, the UNVA for the dominant and non-dominant eyes were 0.07±0.13 and 0.03±0.13, respectively, with no significant difference (P>0.05). MRSE showed no significant differences at any follow-up time points up to 24 months. Accommodation function did not decrease compared to preoperative levels at any postoperative follow-up. Increases in HOAs were primarily due to spherical aberrations, and there were no significant differences in objective visual quality before and after surgery. Contrast sensitivity improved significantly at 24 months postoperatively compared to preoperative levels. At 24 months postoperatively, 11 out of 12 patients reported good visual quality in the questionnaire. Conclusions: LBV surgery gradually achieves good binocular blended vision within 6 months postoperatively and demonstrates good safety, efficacy, and stability at 24 months. It maintains good functional vision and visual quality with high postoperative patient satisfaction.

RESUMEN

Presbyopia refers to a phenomenon in which the ability of the eye to accommodate is insufficient to meet the daily demand for proximity due to age. In modern society, more and more patients over 40 years old want to solve visual problems caused by presbyopia and refractive errors, which poses new challenges for clinical laser corneal refractive surgery, and a variety of combined presbyopia correction technologies and programs have emerged. However, whether laser corneal refractive surgery combined with presbyopia correction technology could treat presbyopia deserves clinical attention. Based on the mechanism of laser corneal refractive surgery and various presbyopia correction techniques, this article deeply analyzes the purpose and effect of laser corneal refractive surgery combined with presbyopia correction technology. It is proposed that this surgical treatment could only play a role in correcting presbyopia at present and should be performed accordingly.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Madelung's disease is a rare disorder characterized by massive deposits of excess subcutaneous fat around the neck, shoulders, arms, and other parts of the body. It has a high prevalence among middle-aged alcoholic men in Mediterranean countries and a low incidence in Asian populations. Although patients with Madelung's disease are often associated with a variety of alcohol-induced metabolic disorders, the comorbidity of alcoholic cardiomyopathy is rarely reported, probably because of its low incidence or neglect by clinicians. CASE REPORT: A 67-year-old man with a 10-year history of soft fat masses in the neck developed chest tightness and shortness of breath on exertion for the past 2 years. Laboratory tests revealed elevated γ-glutamyl transferase, glucose intolerance, hyperuricemia, hyperlipidemia, and anemia. Computed tomography of the neck showed symmetric nonencapsulated fat deposits, mainly in the anterior cervical regions. Echocardiography showed left heart enlargement and severe global left ventricular systolic dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 31%. Coronary angiography revealed 40-50% stenoses of the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries. After the exclusion of other causes of dilated cardiomyopathy, the patient was finally diagnosed with type I Madelung's disease and alcoholic cardiomyopathy. He underwent lifestyle changes, including reducing his alcohol intake, and received full pharmacological treatment for heart failure. One and a half years later, his cardiac function was partially restored, and all metabolic abnormalities improved except for elevated liver enzymes. CONCLUSIONS: Alcohol use disorder should be assessed in patients with newly diagnosed Madelung's disease. Screening for alcoholic cardiomyopathy in alcoholic patients with Madelung's disease is necessary for early detection of cardiac abnormalities and intervention to improve the prognosis of this group of patients.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) against erastin-induced ferroptosis in human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) and explore the underlying mechanism. METHODS: HK-2 cells were treated with erastin alone or in combination with different concentrations (2.5, 5.0 and 10 µmol/L) of DEX, and the changes in cell viability were observed using CCK-8 assay. To explore the mechanism by which DEX inhibits erastin-induced ferroptosis, HK-2 cells were treated with erastin, erastin+10 µmol/L DEX, or erastin+10 µmol/L DEX+ML385 (a Nrf2 inhibitor), after which the cell viability was assessed. The level of intracellular Fe2+ was detected by cell ferrous iron colorimetric assay kit, and flow cytometry was performed to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS); MDA and reduced glutathione assay kits were used to detect the contents of MDA and GSH in the cells; The expressions of Nrf2, HO-1 and GPX4 proteins were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: Erastin treatment significantly inhibited the viability of the cells, decreased GSH content, and increased intracellular levels of Fe2+, ROS and MDA. The combined treatment with 10 µmol/L DEX markedly increased the viability of the cells, increased GSH content, reduced the levels of Fe2+, ROS and MDA, and upregulated the protein expressions of Nrf2, HO-1 and GPX4 in the cells. The application of ML385 obviously blocked the protective effect of DEX and caused significant inhibition of the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway, decreased the cell viability and GSH content, and increased the levels of Fe2+, ROS and MDA in HK-2 cells. CONCLUSION: The protective effect of DEX against erastin-induced ferroptosis of HK-2 cells is probably mediated by activation of the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway to inhibit oxidative stress.

RESUMEN

Tooth extraction is a common and widely employed therapeutic procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Minimally invasive tooth extraction can reduce both physical and psychological trauma to the patients, and is widely recommended as a first-line clinical treatment. But currently no guidelines or consensus has been available to provide a systematic introduction of minimally invasive tooth extraction to guide the clinical practices. To address this issue, this consensus, based on a comprehensive literature review and clinical experiences of experts, systematically summarizes the indications, target patients, and contraindications of minimally invasive tooth extraction, the overall workflow of this procedure (preoperative preparation, surgical steps, postoperative management, postoperative instructions, medications, and follow-up), and its common postoperative complications to provide a comprehensive guidance for clinical application of this technique.

RESUMEN

Demand for accurate estimation of coastal blue carbon sequestration rates in a regular interval has recently surged due to the increasing awareness of nature-based climate solutions to alleviate adverse impacts stemming from the recent global warming. The robust estimation method is, however, far from well-established. The international community requires, moreover, to quantify its effect of "management." This article tries to provide the environmental isotope community with basic biophysical features of coastal blue carbon ecosystems to identify a suitable set of environmental isotopes for promoting coastal ocean-based climate solutions. This article reviews (i) the primary biophysical characteristics of coastal blue carbon ecosystems and hydrology, (ii) their consequential impact on the accumulation and preservation of organic carbon (OC) in the sediment column, (iii) suitable environmental isotopes to quantifying the sedimentary organic carbon accumulation, outwelling of the carbon-containing byproducts of decomposition of biogenic organic matter and acid neutralizing alkalinity produced in situ sediment to the offshore. Above-ground biomass is not cumulative over the years except for mangrove forests within coastal blue carbon systems. Non-gaseous carbon sequestration and loss occur mainly as a form of sediment organic carbon (SOC) and dissolved carbon in an intertidal and subtidal bottom sediment body in a slow, patchy, and dispersive way, on which this article focuses. Investigating environmental radionuclides is probably the most cost-effective effort to contribute to defining the offshore spatial extent of coastal blue carbon systems except for seagrass beds (e.g., Ra isotopes), to quantify millimeter per year scale carbon accretion and loss within the systems (e.g., 7Be, 210Pb) and a liter per meter of coastline per a day scale water movement from the systems (Ra isotopes). A millimeter-scale spatial and an annual (or less) time-scale resolution offered by the use of environmental isotopes would equip us with a novel tool to enhance the carbon storage capacity of the coastal blue carbon system.

RESUMEN

Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors of locally advanced gastric cancer with serosa-invasion. Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical and pathological data of 495 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer with serosa-invasion who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in Department of General Surgery, the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University from October 2012 to October 2018 was analyzed retrospectively. There were 356 males and 139 females with an age (M(IQR)) of 59 (16) years (range: 18 to 75 years). Observation indicators included postoperative results and long-term prognosis. The survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate prognostic analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazards model. Results: Among the 495 patients, a total of 57 patients (11.5%) were lost to follow-up, with a follow-up time of 89 (40) months (range: 23 to 134 months). The 5-year disease-free survival rate (DFS) and the 5-year overall survival rate (OS) were 56.0% and 58.2%, respectively. The 5-year DFS for patients with stage ⅡB, ⅢA, ⅢB, ⅢC were 71.2%, 60.5%, 51.6%, 33.3%, respectively. The 5-year OS for patients with stage ⅡB, ⅢA, ⅢB, ⅢC were 71.2%, 62.2%, 54.1%, 39.3%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that age >65 years (DFS: HR=1.402, 95%CI: 1.022 to 1.922, P=0.036; OS: HR=1.461, 95%CI: 1.057 to 2.019, P=0.022), lymph node dissection number less than 25 (DFS: HR=1.348, 95%CI: 1.019 to 1.779, P=0.036; OS: HR=1.376, 95%CI: 1.035 to 1.825, P=0.028), pathological stage Ⅲ (DFS: HR=2.131, 95%CI: 1.444 to 3.144, P<0.01; OS: HR=2.079, 95%CI: 1.406 to 3.074, P<0.01), and no postoperative chemotherapy (DFS: HR=3.127, 95%CI: 2.377 to 4.113, P<0.01; OS: HR=3.768, 95%CI: 2.828 to 5.020, P<0.01) were independent prognostic factors for the decrease in DFS and OS rates. Conclusions: Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer with serosa-invasion could achieve satisfactory long-term oncological outcomes. More lymph node dissection and standardized postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy are expected to further improve the prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer with serous invasion after laparoscopic radical surgery.
