Abstract
Oral and maxillofacial space infections (OMSI) are common diseases of the facial region involving fascial spaces. Recently, OMSI shows trends of multi drug-resistance, severe symptoms, and increased mortality. OMSI treatment principles need to be updated to improve the cure rate. Based on the clinical experiences of Chinese experts and with the incorporation of international counterparts' expertise, the principles of preoperative checklist, interpretation of examination results, empirical medication principles, surgical treatment principles, postoperative drainage principles, prevention strategies of wisdom teeth pericoronitis-related OMSI, blood glucose management, physiotherapy principles, Ludwig's angina treatment and perioperative care were systematically summarized and an expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of OMSI was reached. The consensus aims to provide criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of OMSI in China so as to improve the level of OMSI treatment.

Abstract
AIM To construct and validate a radiomics-based machine-learning method for preoperative prediction of distant metastasis (DM) from soft-tissue sarcoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-seven soft-tissue sarcomas were divided into a training set (n=54) and a validation set (n=23). The performance of three feature selection methods (ReliefF, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator [LASSO], and regularised discriminative feature selection for unsupervised learning [UDFS]) and four classifiers, random forest (RF), logistic regression (LOG), K nearest neighbour (KNN), and support vector machines (SVMs), were compared for predicting the likelihood of DM. To counter the imbalance in the frequencies of DM, each machine-learning method was trained first without subsampling, then with the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE). The performance of the radiomics model was assessed using area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy (ACC) values. RESULTS The performance of the LASSO and SVM algorithm combination used with SMOTE was superior to that of the algorithm combination alone. The combination of SMOTE with feature screening by LASSO and SVM classifiers had an AUC of 0.9020 and ACC of 91.30% in the validation dataset. CONCLUSION A machine-learning model based on radiomics was favourable for predicting the likelihood of DM from soft-tissue sarcoma. This will help decide treatment strategies.

Abstract
TanSat is the 1st Chinese carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement satellite, launched in 2016. In this study, the University of Leicester Full Physics (UoL-FP) algorithm is implemented for TanSat nadir mode XCO2 retrievals. We develop a spectrum correction method to reduce the retrieval errors by the online fitting of an 8th order Fourier series. The spectrum-correction model and its a priori parameters are developed by analyzing the solar calibration measurement. This correction provides a significant improvement to the O2 A band retrieval. Accordingly, we extend the previous TanSat single CO2 weak band retrieval to a combined O2 A and CO2 weak band retrieval. A Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been applied to determine the threshold values of post-screening filters. In total, 18.3% of the retrieved data is identified as high quality compared to the original measurements. The same quality control parameters have been used in a footprint independent multiple linear regression bias correction due to the strong correlation with the XCO2 retrieval error. Twenty sites of the Total Column Carbon Observing Network (TCCON) have been selected to validate our new approach for the TanSat XCO2 retrieval. We show that our new approach produces a significant improvement on the XCO2 retrieval accuracy and precision when compared to TCCON with an average bias and RMSE of -0.08 ppm and 1.47 ppm, respectively. The methods used in this study can help to improve the XCO2 retrieval from TanSat and subsequently the Level-2 data production, and hence will be applied in the TanSat operational XCO2 processing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) TP73-AS1 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and cells, and to further investigate whether it can accelerate the progression of HCC by regulating microRNA-103. PATIENTS AND METHODS Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to examine TP73-AS1 expression in 60 pairs of HCC tissues and adjacent ones, and the association between lncRNATP73-AS1 level and clinical indicators of HCC as well as patients' prognosis was analyzed. Meanwhile, qRT-PCR was used to further verify TP73-AS1 expression in HCC cell lines. The lncRNA TP73-AS1 knockdown model was constructed using lentivirus in the HCC cell lines, including Bel-7402 and HepG2. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), and flow cytometry assays were performed to figure out the influence of TP73-AS1 on the basic biological function of the HCC cells. Finally, the involved potential regulatory mechanism was explored using cell recovery experiments, and the relationship between TP73-AS1 and microRNA-103 was further studied. RESULTS QRT-PCR results indicated that TP73-AS1 expression in HCC samples was conspicuously enhanced compared with paracancerous tissues, and patients with a relatively high level of TP73-AS1 had a higher tumor stage and a lower overall survival rate. Meanwhile, the proliferation ability of cells in the sh-TP73-AS1 group was strikingly lower than that in the control group, while cell apoptosis showed the opposite trend. Besides, qRT-PCR results indicated a negative correlation between microRNA-103 and TP73-AS1 in HCC tissue specimens. The results of the luciferase reporting assay revealed that TP73-AS1 could be targeted by microRNA-103 through binding site. In addition, the cell recovery experiment demonstrated that TP73-AS1 and microRNA-103 might have a mutual regulation, and the two of which could together affect the malignant progression of HCC. CONCLUSIONS TP73-AS1 expression was conspicuously enhanced both in HCC tissues and cell lines, which were associated with advanced tumor stage and poor prognosis. In addition, TP73-AS1 could accelerate the proliferation of HCC cells by regulating microRNA-103.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application of axillary reverse mapping (ARM) in breast cancer sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), and to collect and record patient's data during operation. Through the specific experimental data, the anatomical location and morphology of the intercostal brachial nerve (ICBN) and the anatomic relationship of the axillary lymph nodes were analyzed to accurately locate the anatomical division of the axillary fossa of sentinel lymph node (SLN) and ARM lymph nodes. Methods: The technique of methylene blue staining for SLN combined with indocyanine green fluorescent staining for axillary reverse mapping was used to analyze the patients of Tianjin Central Hospital of Gynecology Obstetrics from June 2017 to June 2018. The clinical data of 35 patients with T1-2N0M0 breast cancer were analyzed. Results: Of the 35 patients, two cases were excluded from metastatic carcinoma of the SLN. Thirty-three cases were included in the data analysis. Three cases of ICBN were located 0-2.0 cm (9.09%) from the lower edge of the iliac vein, 27 cases were located at 2.0-4.0 cm (81.82%), and 3 cases of ICBN were located greater than 4.0 cm (9.09%). In the region of 0-2.0 cm from the lower edge of the iliac vein, 1-2 ARM lymph nodes were found in 5 cases; in the 2.0-4.0 cm area, SLN was found in 33 cases, 4 of which found 1 coincident lymph node; at>4.0 cm ARM lymph nodes and overlapping lymph nodes were not found in the cm region, and 1-2 SLNs were found in 3 cases. Conclusions: Individual ICBNs vary greatly, with different shapes and distances from the lower edge of the axillary vein. The axillary region below the iliac vein can be divided into three regions: ARM region (0-2.0 cm); SLN region (2.0-4.0 cm); and sentinel gate region (>4.0 cm). The position 2.0 cm from the lower edge of the iliac vein can be used as the boundary between the ARM lymph node and the SLN. 4. There is a certain proportion of coincidence rate between SLN and ARM lymph nodes.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the epidemic clones of MRSA isolates at a hospital in shanghai. Methods: A total of 72 MRSA isolates have been isolated from a second grade hospital between 2017 and 2018, including 32 CA-MRSA isolates, 13 HA-MRSA isolates and 26 MRSA isolates from environment. In this study, MLST and PFGE typing methods were used to analyze the molecular epidemiology of the MRSA isolates. Results: A total of 72 MRSA isolates have been obtained including 46 isolates from clinical specimens, 26 isolates from environments. The 46 MRSA isolates from clinical specimens consisted of 33 CA-MRSA (community-acquired MRSA) and 13 HA-MRSA (hospital-acquired MRSA). Furthermore, these patients infected with MRSA isolates were mostly distributed in the department of geriatrics (34.8%, 16/46), internal medicine (26.1%, 12/46) and surgery (26.1%, 12/46). MLST typing results showed that ST764 was predominant in isolates from both clinical specimens and hospital environments. Furthermore, PFGE typing results showed that most ST764 MRSA had high homolog (>90%). Conclusion: ST764 MRSA isolates might spread in community, hospital and environments. Therefore, continuous monitoring of MRSA and its variation may be useful in understanding the involvement of epidemic clone, and in searching new strategies to control MRSA infection.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and therapeutic effect of neurotrophic keratitis (NK). Methods: A retrospective case series study. A total of 46 patients (48 eyes) with clinically diagnosed NK in Beijing Tongren Hospital from May 2013 to July 2016 were analyzed, including 26 males (26 eyes) and 20 females (22 eyes), aged (51±18) years. The general condition, etiology, clinical features, stage of disease and curative effect of NK patients were summarized. Corneal sensation was measured by Cochet-Bonnet corneal sensor for 25 patients (26 eyes), and the correlation between corneal sensation and clinical staging was analyzed. The χ(2) test was performed on the distribution characteristics of patients with different clinical stages of NK. Correlation analysis of corneal sensation and the disease stage was performed using Spearman correlation analysis. Results: Forty-four cases of monocular disease (96.65%) and 2 cases (4.35%) of bilateral disease were enrolled. Four eyes (8.33%) were from young patients (aged 18-29 years), 23 (47.92%) were from middle-aged patients (aged 30-59 years), and 21 (43.75%) were from elderly patients (aged ≥60 years). The disease was at stage Ⅰ in 8 eyes (16.67%), at stage Ⅱ in 21 eyes (43.75%), and stage Ⅲ in 19 eyes (39.58%). There was no significant difference in clinical staging between the three age groups (χ(2)=2.452, P=0.658). The most common cause of NK was virus infection (17 eyes,35.42%), followed by neurosurgical sequelae (11 eyes, 22.92%) and diabetes in 10 eyes(20.83%). Corneal sensation of 26 eyes ranged from 0-3 cm. There was no significant correlation between clinical stage and corneal sensation (r(2)=0.284, P=0.753). The patients were followed up for an average of 7 months. Thirty-four eyes (70.83%) received conservative treatment, and 8 eyes(16.67%) had surgery. Six patients (6 eyes) were lost for follow-up. Conclusions: NK can occur in all ages, mainly in the elderly. The clinical manifestations are diverse. If time delays in the diagnosis and treatment, it often causes corneal ulcers. There is no significant correlation between corneal sensation and clinical stage. Early diagnosis and targeted treatment are important for protecting patients' visual function.(Chin J Ophthalmol, 2020, 56:274-298).

Abstract
Mitochondrial function is critical for cell vitality in all eukaryotes including plants. Although plant mitochondria contain many proteins, few have been studied in the context of plant development and physiology. We used knock-down mutant RPS9M to study its important role in male gametogenesis and seed development in Arabidopsis thaliana. Knock-down of RPS9M in the rps9m-3 mutant led to abnormal pollen development and impaired pollen tube growth. In addition, both embryo and endosperm development were affected. Phenotype analysis revealed that the rps9m-3 mutant contained a lower amount of endosperm and nuclear proteins, and both embryo cell division and embryo pattern were affected, resulting in an abnormal and defective embryo. Lowering the level of RPS9M in rps9m-3 affects mitochondrial ribosome biogenesis, energy metabolism and production of ROS. Our data revealed that RPS9M plays important roles in normal gametophyte development and seed formation, possibly by sustaining mitochondrial function.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of hydrogen in a rat model of osteoradionecrosis of the jaw (ORNJ). The rats and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were pre-treated with hydrogen before receiving irradiation (7Gy per fraction, five fractions in total once a day for rats, 4Gy for BMSCs). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell differentiation were measured in the BMSCs. Also, the radioprotective effect of hydrogen for ORNJ in Sprague-Dawley rats was examined by gross clinical manifestations, micro-computed tomography, and histology. Hydrogen significantly reduced the production of ROS in BMSCs after irradiation. The cell viability was significantly decreased after irradiation (P= 0.001), but pre-treatment with hydrogen before irradiation increased the cell viability (P= 0.025). Hydrogen considerably increased the cellular differentiation potential of the irradiated cells. Comparing with the rats underwent irradiaton only, those rats treated by hydrogen-rich saline significantly appeared improved occlusion, salivation, alopecia, oral ulcer, and less bone necrosis. Myofibroblasts accumulated overwhelmingly in the fibrosis medulla and around the sequestrum after irradiation, and this was decreased in the group pre-treated with hydrogen. Hydrogen may represent a strategy for the prevention and treatment of ORNJ. Its high efficacy and low toxicity suggest possible therapeutic application.

Abstract
H3K9ac, an epigenetic marker, is widely distributed in plant genomes. H3K9ac enhances gene expression, which is highly conserved in eukaryotes. However, genome-wide studies of H3K9ac in monocot species are limited, and the changes in H3K9ac under drought stress for individual genes are still not clear. We analysed changes in the H3K9ac level of Brachypodium distachyon under 20% PEG-6000-simulated drought stress conditions. We also performed chromatin immunoprecipitation, followed by next generation sequencing (ChIP-seq) on H3K9ac to reveal changes in H3K9ac for individual genes at the genome-wide level. Our study showed that H3K9ac was mainly enriched in gene exon regions. Drought increased or decreased the H3K9ac level at specific genomic loci. We identified 40 genes associated with increased H3K9ac levels and 36 genes associated with decreased H3K9ac levels under drought stress. Further, RT-qPCR analyses showed that H3K9ac was positively associated with gene expression of those drought-responsive genes. We conclude that H3K9ac enhances the expression level of a large number of drought-responsive genes under drought stress in B. distachyon. The data presented here will help to reveal the correlation of some specific drought-responsive genes and their enriched H3K9ac levels in the model plant B. distachyon.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy are a high risk of VTE, yet the importance of thromboprophylaxis for cancer patients that are at high risk of developing VTE is still controversial. AIM To calculate the benefits and harms of thromboprophylaxis, compared to placebo, in ambulatory high-risk cancer patients that are receiving chemotherapy. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, WANFANG Data, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and Chinese Scientific Journal Database for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) describing benefits and harms of thromboprophylaxis. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata software (version 15.1). RESULTS We included six studies, which contained a total of 3240 cancer patients with thromboprophylaxis and 2874 cancer patients without thromboprophylaxis. Thromboprophylaxis was effective in high-risk patients with two points or higher (RR 0.51, 95% CI 0.36-0.71, I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.526). It was associated with an increase in bleeding events (RR 1.65, 95% CI 1.14-2.40, I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.498) and was mainly efficient in reducing the risk of pulmonary embolism (RR 0.56, 95% CI 0.33-0.96, I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.263). The risk of major (RR 1.85, 95% CI 0.87-3.94, I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.888) and non-major (RR 1.59, 95% CI 0.96-2.62, I2 = 16.3%, P = 0.303) bleeding showed no significant difference with or without thromboprophylaxis. There was no reduction in all-cause mortality with thromboprophylaxis (RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.78-1.18, I2 = 22.0%, P = 0.277). CONCLUSION Thromoboprophylaxis is effective and safe in cancer patients that are at high risk for developing VTE with chemotherapy.

Abstract
Osteoradionecrosis of the mandible (MORN) is one of the most devastating complications caused by radiation therapy in the head and neck region. It is characterized by infection and chronic necrosis of the mandible as the main manifestation. Clinically, MORN-related symptoms include swelling, pain, dysphagia, trismus, masticatory or speech disorders, refractory orocutaneous fistula, bone exposure, and even pathological fracture. MORN has become a challenging clinical problem for oral and maxillofacial surgeons to deal with, but thus far, this problem has not been solved due to the lack of widely accepted treatment algorithms or guidelines. Because of the nonexistence of standardized treatment criteria, most clinical treatment against MORN nowadays is largely based on controversial empirical understandings, while recommendations on post-therapeutic evaluations are scarce. Therefore, to further unify and standardize the diagnosis and treatment of MORN, to decrease the huge waste of medical resources, and ultimately, to improve the wellbeing of the patients, the Chinese Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (CSOMS) convened an expert panel specialized in MORN from 16 domestic medical colleges and affiliated hospitals to discuss the spectrum of diagnosis and and formulate treatment. In addition, consensus recommendations were also revised with a comprehensive literature review of the previous treatment experiences and research pearls. This 'expert consensus statement on diagnosis and clinical management of MORN' is for clinical reference.

Abstract
High-precision radiometric calibration (RC) coefficients are required to retrieve reliable water quality parameter products in turbid inland/coastal waters. However, unreliable RC coefficients when satellite sensors lack accurate and in-time RC may lead to pronounced uncertainties in the products through error propagation. To address this issue, a novel approach for estimating water quality parameters, taking suspended particulate matter (SPM) as a case, was proposed by coupling the procedures of RC and SPM model development. The coupled models were established using digital numbers (DNs) from target sensors and "in-situ" SPM measurements from concurrent well-calibrated reference sensors, with the RC coefficients introduced as unknown model parameters. The approach was tested and validated in varied Chinese inland/coastal regions, including the Hongze lake (HL), Taihu lake (TL), and Hangzhou bay (HB). The results show: (1) the DN-based SPM models can achieve a degree of accuracy comparable to reflectance-based SPM models with determination coefficients (R2) of 0.94, 0.92, and 0.72, and root-mean-square errors (RMSE) of 7.02 mg/L, 15.73 mg/L, and 619.2 mg/L for the HL, TL, and HB, respectively, and the biases less than 3% between the derived and official gain RC coefficients; (2) the uncertainty of SPM products increases exponentially as the RC uncertainty increases for exponential reflectance-based SPM models; (3) the DN-based SPM models are less sensitive to the uncertainties of atmospheric correction and RC coefficients, while the reflectance-based models suffer deeply. This study provides encouraging results to the improvement of SPM retrieval using the DN-based models by coupling RC and SPM retrieving processes, especially for sensors without precise RC coefficients.

Abstract
Objective: To research the auditory nerve transduction effects under multi-wavelength pulsed laser stimulations within a safe and acceptable signal range. Methods: The real-time detection of intracellular calcium concentration was adopted by specific fluorescent indicator staining based on calcium imager. The spiral ganglion cells of mice were cultured in vitro. After fluorescent indicating, morphologic observation under optical microscope, Fura-2 calcium ion fluorescence excitation, intact morphology cells selection, fixing the optical fiber, the spiral ganglion cells were irradiated by different wavelength laser, including visible light (450 nm) and near infrared light (808 nm,1 065 nm). The intracellular calcium concentration was monitored by calcium ion imaging. Results: When 450 nm laser stimulated spiral ganglion cells, the intracellular calcium concentration was strongly increased, however, for other wavelength laser stimulation, there was no obvious relative response. And the sensitivity expression of the nerve cells under laser was related with the location of laser fiber. Cells closer to the fiber produced more obvious changes in calcium ion concentration, while for cells farther away from the fiber, the change amplitudes were weaker although the number of changes in calcium ion concentration was consistent. Conclusion: The spiral ganglion cells of mice can induce a signal transduction response under the action of laser, and the response has laser wavelength selectivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore whether bone marrow stem cells (MSCs)-derived exosomes extracted from osteoporosis patients could inhibit osteogenesis via microRNA-21/SMAD7. PATIENTS AND METHODS MSCs from osteoporosis patients were isolated and cultured. MSCs morphology was observed, and the specific surface antigens were identified by flow cytometry. The osteogenic ability of MSCs was detected by alizarin red staining and oil red staining. Exosomes were collected from MSCs suspension by ultracentrifugation, and microRNA-21 expression in MSCs derived-exosomes was detected. Moreover, protein and mRNA levels of ALP, Bglap, and Runx2 in MSCs treated with different sources of MSCs-derived exosomes were detected by qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) and Western blot, respectively. ALP activity in MSCs was accessed by a relative commercial kit. Furthermore, binding sites of microRNA-21 and SMAD7 were predicted by Targetscan, miRWalk, and miRDB, and were further verified by luciferase reporter gene assay. SMAD7 expression in MSCs derived-exosomes was also detected. RESULTS MSCs extracted from healthy adults, and osteoporosis patients were in adherent growth and exhibited elongated morphology, which could differentiate into osteoblasts and lipoblasts after different inductions. MicroRNA-21 expression in MSCs-derived exosomes extracted from osteoporosis patients was remarkably higher than those extracted from healthy adults. Decreased Runx2 expression and ALP activity were found after treatment of MSCs-derived exosomes extracted from osteoporosis patients. SMAD7 was confirmed to bind to microRNA-21 and was downregulated in osteoporosis patients in comparison with healthy adults. Overexpression of SMAD7 resulted in downregulated ALP, Bglap, and Runx2. CONCLUSIONS MicroRNA-21 inhibits osteogenesis through regulating MSCs-derived exosomes extracted from osteoporosis patients via targeting SMAD7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intraspinal paragonimiasis is a rare entity for which imaging findings have seldom been described. The present study investigated the MR imaging features of spinal paragonimiasis, thus providing diagnostic imaging evidence and exploring the possible pathogenesis of intraspinal paragonimiasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical and imaging findings of spinal paragonimiasis in 6 children were analyzed retrospectively. Spinal MR imaging was performed in all patients, 5 of whom also underwent enhanced MR imaging. The diagnosis was confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in all cases and postoperative pathology in 4 cases. RESULTS All cases manifested as fusiform-shaped or beanlike masses in the extradural space in the thoracic spine. The extradural masses were connected with pleural lesions through the intervertebral foramen. The plain MR imaging scan showed mixed signals with predominant isointensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on T2WI, among which 5 (5/6) masses presented as patchy hemorrhage with hyperintensity on T1WI. On enhanced scans, all masses (5/5) showed heterogeneous marked enhancement, with thickening and enhancement in the adjacent spinal meninges (5/5). Various degrees of spinal cord compression and edema were found in 5 cases (5/6). CONCLUSIONS MR imaging is sensitive for detecting and characterizing spinal paragonimiasis. The MR imaging features of intraspinal granulomas included localization to the extradural space and thoracic segment, connections between intraspinal lesions and pleural lesions through the intervertebral foramen, and hemorrhagic foci within the mass. These findings support an intraspinal mode of paragonimiasis pathogenesis: The Paragonimus larvae migrate from the chest into the extradural space through the intervertebral foramen.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the risk factors of perioperative complications after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed. Case inclusion criteria: (1) patients undergoing radical gastrectomy (D2); (2) primary gastric cancer without distant organ metastasis confirmed by postoperative pathology; (3) no neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery. Patients with peritoneal tumor dissemination found during operation, undergoing palliative operation due to distant metastasis, and undergoing combined organ resection and those without complete clinicopathological data were excluded. According to the above criteria, 426 patients with gastric cancer at our department from January 2015 to June 2017 were included in this study. Of 426 patients, 285 were male and 141 were female with a mean age of (55.4±9.7) years. According to the "Japan Clinical Cancer Research Group (JCOG) classification criteria for postoperative complications of gastric cancer", patients with grade II and higher complications were classified as complication group, and patients with no complication or grade I complication were classified as non-complication group. Baseline data were compared between two groups. Associations of perioperative complication with gender, age, body mass index, preoperative routine laboratory test, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, activities of daily living (ADL) assessment, past medical history as well as preoperative conditions (hypertension and/or diabetes), surgical resection procedure, incision type, operation time, intraoperative blood loss/body mass ratio were examined. Univariate analysis was performed using χ(2) test and the Wilcoxon rank sum test to screen the statistically significant variables associated with perioperative complications. The significant variables were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors of perioperative complication. Results: Grade II or higher complications after surgery were developed in 97 patients (22.8%), which included anastomotic leakage in 18 cases (4.2%), postoperative bleeding in 9 cases (2.1%), abdominal abscess in 5 cases (1.2%), intestinal obstruction in 5 cases (1.2%), pancreatic leakage in 1 case (0.2%), and other adverse events in 59 cases (13.8%). Univariate analysis suggested that the gender, age, ADL, incision type, intraoperative blood loss/body mass ratio, and operation time were associated with perioperative complication (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that elder age (OR=1.033, 95% CI:1.013-1.053, P=0.013), incision type of laparotomy (OR=2.091, 95% CI:1.247-3.508, P=0.004), longer operation time (OR=1.004, 95% CI:1.001-1.007, P=0.001) and higher ratio of intraoperative blood loss/body mass (OR=1.100, 95% CI: 1.039-1.163, P=0.031) were risk factors for postoperative complications. Conclusion: Attention should be paid to those cases with elder age, laparotomy incision, longer operation time and higher ratio of intraoperative blood loss/body mass, and perioperative management after gastrectomy should be improved.
