The study intends to analyze influences of different anesthesia and analgesia on cellular immune and cognitive functions of patients undergoing thoracotomy for esophageal cancer (EsC).

Patients undergoing thoracotomy for EsC were divided into four groups Group A (received general anesthesia [GA]) and postoperative intravenous analgesia); B (received GA and postoperative epidural analgesia); C (received GA combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia [TEA]) and postoperative intravenous analgesia); D (received GA combined with TEA and postoperative epidural analgesia). The T-lymphocyte subsets were determined at 30 min before anesthesia induction (T<inf>0</inf>), 2 h after skin incision (T<inf>1</inf>), and at 4 h (T<inf>2</inf>), 24 h (T<inf>3</inf>), and 48 h (T<inf>4</inf>) after operation. Besides, visual analogue scale (VAS) and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) were assessed.

The percentage of CD3
and CD4
cells in groups B and C were ing thoracotomy for EsC.
Delayed diagnosis in case of acute appendicitis (AA) could lead to complicated intra-abdominal sepsis (IAS). Grading systems are not commonly employed in the clinical practice, because they are too complicated or too specific. Therefore, we suggest grading the severity of complicated IAS after AA with a simple system TNM, an acronym borrowed by cancer staging where T indicates temperature, N neutrophils, and M multiple organ failure (MOF). This prospective observational study evaluates the predictive value of the TNM score on mortality of patients with complicated IAS after AA.

Sixty-eight patients with complicated IAS after AA were treated. Three classes of attributes were chosen temperature (T), neutrophils count (N), and MOF (M). After defining the categories T (T0-T4), N (N0-N3) and M (M0-M2), these were grouped in stages (0-IV). Variables analyzed for their possible relation to death were age, sex, temperature, neutrophils count, preoperative organ failure, immunocompromised status, stage (0-IV). Odds ratios were calculated in a univariate and multivariate analysis.

TNM staging was one patient stage 0; 16 patients at stage I; 26 patients at stage II; 16 patients at stage III; nine patients at stage IV. Death occurred in 15 patients (22%). Neutrophil count, preoperative organ failure, immunocompromised status, stages III-IV were potential predictors of postoperative death in univariate analysis; only stage IV was significant independent predictor of postoperative mortality in multivariate analysis.

TNM classification is very easy to use; it helps to define the mortality risk and is useful to objectively compare patients with sepsis.

A detailed assessment of biliary tract anatomy is necessary for the successful reoperation for hepatolithiasis. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of preoperative individualized surgical planning with three-dimensional (3D) imaging technique for reoperation of hepatolithiasis.

This was a retrospective matched case-control study. From January 2011 to December 2018, 56 patients receiving reoperation according to the individualized preoperative plan based on 3D imaging at our center were included (group A). Meanwhile, 54 patients receiving traditional imaging guided reoperation matched by age, gender and distribution of hepatobiliary stones to each case were selected as controls (group B). The perioperative and long-term follow-up outcomes were compared between the two groups.

There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics between groups. Compared with group B, the group A had a significantly shorter operation time (245.7±56.2min vs. 305.2±79.9min, P<0.001), a significantlyications as compared with conventional surgical planning.BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) cell-culture scaffolds are ideal in vitro models to bridge the gap between two-dimensional cell culture in vitro and in vivo cancer models. Construction of 3D scaffolds using two kinds of biomaterials has been reported, but there are still many defects. To improve the performance of the scaffolds for 3D cell culture of colonic carcinoma (CC) cells in vitro, we attempted to construct triple composite scaffolds using silk fibroin (SF), chitosan (Cs), and alginate (Alg). MATERIAL AND METHODS We explored the suitability of triple composite scaffolds of SF/Cs/Alg at ratios of 1 1 0.5, 1 1 1, and 1 1 2 for 3D culture of CC cells, and used the dual composite scaffold of SF/Cs (1 1) as a control group. We analyzed the physicochemical characteristics of these scaffolds and studied cell adhesion, cell proliferation, migration, colony-forming ability, microstructure and ultrastructure, and spheroid-forming capacity of the commercially available CC cell line HCT-116 on the prepared scaffolds. RESULTS Our results show that SF/Cs/Alg (1 1 1) scaffolds demonstrated the best profile, the highest uniform porosity and connectivity, and excellent hydroscopicity, and also exhibited appropriate and controlled swelling and degradation characteristics. The adhesion, proliferation, colony-forming, and wound-healing assays, green fluorescent protein-labeled HCT116 cell imaging, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole and DY-554-phalloidin staining, scanning electron microscopy, and haematoxylin and eosin staining revealed that the triple composite scaffolds of SF/CS/Alg (1 1 1) supported cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, colony-forming ability, and spheroid formation far better than the dual composite scaffold of SF/CS (1 1). CONCLUSIONS This study successfully demonstrated the potential of SF/Cs/Alg (1 1 1) scaffold as an alternative for the 3D in vitro culture of CC cells.
