The clinical data of 119 patients who underwent colon interposition for esophageal replacement from January 2005 to March 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The routes of the colon interposition were retrosternal in 119 (100%). The median operative time was 390 min (range: 290-610 min) and the median blood loss was 615 mL (range:270-2500 mL). Of these 119 patients, the cervical anastomosis was performed at the hypopharynx (n=20,16.8%), the larynx (n=3,2.5%), and the cervical esophagus (n=96, 80.7%). Five patients experienced cervical anastomotic leakage (4 cases for esophagus-colon, and one for hypopharynx-colon).One patient experienced wound infection of the abdominal wall. Three patients had injury of recurrent laryngeal nerve and hoarseness. Three patients had stress ulcer with bleeding and treated with octreotide. Two patients suffered from incomplete intestinal obstruction. The postoperative follow-up was made for 12 months in all patients and all of them were alive. In conclusion, The colon is well-suited for esophageal reconstruction. The selection of the colon graft should be flexible and be based on the inspection of blood supply and the length needed. We must therefore make every effort to reduce the number of postoperative complications, and improve the quality of life for patients.展开更多

This method offers a new research idea for investigating the conformation statistics of complex polymers, characterized by its simplicity and practicality. It can be applied to more complex topological structure, more higher degree of freedom polymer systems with higher dimensions, theory research on dynamic self-consistent field theory and polymer field theory, as well as the analysis of scattering experimental data. The conformation statistics of complex polymers determine the structure and response properties of the system. Using the new method proposed in this study, taking the semiflexible ring diblock copolymer as an example, Monte Carlo simulation is used to sample this ring conformation to construct the dataset of polymer. The structure factor describing conformation statistics are expressed as continuous functions of structure parameters by neural network supervised learning. This is the innovation of this work. As an application, the structure factors represented by neural networks were introduced into the random phase approximation theory to study the microphase separation of semiflexible ring diblock copolymers. The influence of the ring's topological properties on the phase transition behavior was pointed out.展开更多

The method has several advantages such asrequiring only mild conditions and a low concentration of catalyst. Screening of 19 b-acetamidoketones for antidiabetic activity in vitro showed that their activity as peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor (PPAR) agonists and as dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-IV) inhibitors wasfairly weak.展开更多
