RESUMO

AIM: Small bowel obstruction is a common condition that requires emergency surgery. Slow recovery of bowel function after surgery or the occurrence of one or more complications can exacerbate the disease and result in severe small bowel obstruction (SSBO), significantly impacting recovery. It is characterized by a failure to regain enteral nutrition promptly, requiring long-term intensive care. Therefore, it is necessary to identify factors that predict SSBO, to allow early intervention for patients likely to develop this condition. METHODS: Of the 260 patients who underwent emergency or elective surgery for small bowel obstruction between January 2018 and December 2022, 45 developed SSBO. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model was applied to optimize factor selection and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to construct a predictive model. The performance and clinical utility of the nomogram were determined and internal validation was conducted. In addition, the effects of the Houpu Paiqi mixture on postoperative recovery were analyzed by comparing the clinical data of 28 patients who were treated with the mixture and 61patients who did not receive it. RESULTS: The predictors included in the prediction nomogram were age, peritonitis, intestinal resection and anastomosis, complications, operation time, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, white blood cell count, and procalcitonin level. The model had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.948 (95% confidence interval: 0.814-0.956). Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the SSBO risk nomogram had a good net clinical benefit. In addition, treatment with the Houpu Paiqi mixture reduced postoperative exhaust time, postoperative defecation time, time to first postoperative liquid feed, and length of stay in hospital. CONCLUSIONS: We developed a nomogram that can assist clinicians in identifying patients at greater risk of SSBO, which may aid in early diagnosis and intervention. Additionally, we found that the Houpu Paiqi mixture promoted postoperative recovery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the commonest healthcare-associated infection. In addition to increasing mortality, it also lengthens the hospital stay and raises healthcare expenses. SSIs are challenging to predict, with most models having poor predictability. Therefore, we developed a prediction model for SSI after elective abdominal surgery by identifying risk factors. AIM: To analyse the data on inpatients undergoing elective abdominal surgery to identify risk factors and develop predictive models that will help clinicians assess patients preoperatively. METHODS: We retrospectively analysed the inpatient records of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 1, 2018 to January 1, 2021. We included the demographic data of the patients and their haematological test results in our analysis. The attending physicians provided the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) scores. The surgeons and anaesthesiologists manually calculated the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) scores. Inpatient SSI risk factors were evaluated using univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression. Nomograms were used in the predictive models. The receiver operating characteristic and area under the curve values were used to measure the specificity and accuracy of the model. RESULTS: A total of 3018 patients met the inclusion criteria. The surgical sites included the uterus (42.2%), the liver (27.6%), the gastrointestinal tract (19.1%), the appendix (5.9%), the kidney (3.7%), and the groin area (1.4%). SSI occurred in 5% of the patients (n = 150). The risk factors associated with SSI were as follows: Age; gender; marital status; place of residence; history of diabetes; surgical season; surgical site; NRS 2002 score; preoperative white blood cell, procalcitonin (PCT), albumin, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) levels; preoperative antibiotic use; anaesthesia method; incision grade; NNIS score; intraoperative blood loss; intraoperative drainage tube placement; surgical operation items. Multivariate logistic regression revealed the following independent risk factors: A history of diabetes [odds ratio (OR) = 5.698, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.305-9.825, P = 0.001], antibiotic use (OR = 14.977, 95%CI: 2.865-78.299, P = 0.001), an NRS 2002 score of ≥ 3 (OR = 2.426, 95%CI: 1.199-4.909, P = 0.014), general anaesthesia (OR = 3.334, 95%CI: 1.134-9.806, P = 0.029), an NNIS score of ≥ 2 (OR = 2.362, 95%CI: 1.019-5.476, P = 0.045), PCT ≥ 0.05 µg/L (OR = 1.687, 95%CI: 1.056-2.695, P = 0.029), LDL < 3.37 mmol/L (OR = 1.719, 95%CI: 1.039-2.842, P = 0.035), intraoperative blood loss ≥ 200 mL (OR = 29.026, 95%CI: 13.751-61.266, P < 0.001), surgical season (P < 0.05), surgical site (P < 0.05), and incision grade I or III (P < 0.05). The overall area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the predictive model was 0.926, which is significantly higher than the NNIS score (0.662). CONCLUSION: The patient's condition and haematological test indicators form the bases of our prediction model. It is a novel, efficient, and highly accurate predictive model for preventing postoperative SSI, thereby improving the prognosis in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Few studies have compared the surgical outcomes of different surgical procedures currently used to treat refractory colonic slow-transit constipation (STC), despite the increase in the number of cases. This study aimed to analyse the long-term surgical outcomes of subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic caecorectal anastomosis (SC-ACRA) vs total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (TC-IRA) for severe STC. METHODS: Between January 2005 and January 2015, we retrospectively collected clinical data of 55 patients who underwent TC-IRA (n = 35) or SC-ACRA (n = 20) for severe STC at our institution. The post-operative functional outcomes between the two groups were compared. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in age (P = 0.655), sex (P = 0.234), period of constipation (P = 0.105) and defecation frequency (P = 0.698) between the TC-IRA and SC-ACRA groups. During a median follow-up period of 72 months (range, 12-120 months), there were no significant differences between the TC-IRA and SC-ACRA groups regarding the median number of bowel movements per day [3 (1/6-7) vs 3 (1/6-5), P = 0.578], Cleveland Clinic Florida Constipation Score [2 (0-20) vs 2 (0-19), P = 0.454], Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score [0 (0-5) vs 0 (0-2), P = 0.333] and Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index [122 (81-132) vs 120 (80-132), P = 0.661]. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the incidence of post-operative complications between the two groups (37.1% vs 25.0%, P = 0.285). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that both TC-IRA and SC-ACRA are effective treatments for severe STC, with similar long-term outcomes.

RESUMO

Bile acids serve a critical role in the induction of gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM) and gastric carcinogenesis. The present study investigated the effects of bile acids on the induction of gastric IM formation. The results demonstrated that the expression levels of caudal­related homeobox transcription factor 2 (CDX2), mucin 2 (MUC2) and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) were increased in vitro and in vivo following treatment with bile acids, and CDX2 transcriptionally activated MUC2 expression. Furthermore, knockdown of FXR attenuated bile acid­enhanced CDX2 promoter activity and protein expression. Conversely, the FXR agonist GW4064 synergistically enhanced bile acid­induced CDX2 promoter activity. Bile acid treatment led to an increase in nuclear factor (NF)­κB activity and protein expression. Treatment with GW4064 or the FXR antagonist Z­guggulsterone enhanced or attenuated bile acid­induced NF­κB activity, respectively. In addition, quantitative chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed that bile acids led to enhanced binding of p50 to the CDX2 promoter, whereas this effect was not observed for p65. Treatment with GW4064 or Z­guggulsterone enhanced and attenuated the binding activity of p50 to the CDX2 promoter, respectively. These results indicated that bile acids may activate the FXR/NF­κB signalling pathway, thereby upregulating CDX2 and MUC2 expression in normal gastric epithelial cells.

RESUMO

Obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) is a functional disorder commonly encountered by colorectal surgeons and gastroenterologists, and greatly affects the quality of life of patients from both societal and psychological aspects. The underlying anatomical and pathophysiological changes of ODS are complex. However, intra-rectal intussusception and rectocele are frequently found in patients with ODS and both are thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of ODS. With the development of evaluation methods in anorectal physiology laboratories and radiology studies, a great variety of new operative procedures, especially transanal procedures, have been invented to treat ODS. However, no procedure has been proved to be superior to others at present. Each operation has its own merits and defects. Thus, choosing appropriate transanal surgical procedures for the treatment of ODS remains a challenge for all surgeons. This review provides an introduction of the current problems and options for treatment of ODS and a detailed summary of the essential assessments needed for patient evaluation before carrying out transanal surgery. Besides, an overview of the benefits and problems of current transanal surgical procedures for treatment of ODS is summarized in this review. A report of clinical experience of some transanal surgical techniques used in the authors' center is also presented.

RESUMO

Due to severe water resource shortage, genetics of and breeding for DT (drought tolerance) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) have become one of the hot research topics. Identification of grain yield QTLs (quantitative trait loci) directly related to the DT trait of rice can provide useful information for breeding new drought-resistant and water-saving rice varieties via marker-assisted selection. A population of 105 advanced BILs (backcross introgression lines) derived from a cross between Zhenshan97B and IRAT109 in Zhenshan97B background were grown under drought stress in a field experiment and phenotypic traits were investigated. The results showed that in the target interval of RM273-RM255 on chromosome 4, three main-effect QTLs related to panicle length, panicle number, and spikelet number per panicle were identified (LOD [logarithm of the odds] > 2.0). The panicle length-related QTL had two loci located in the neighboring intervals of RM17308-RM17305 and RM17349-RM17190, which explained 18.80% and 20.42%, respectively, of the phenotypic variation, while the panicle number-related QTL was identified in the interval of RM1354-RM17308, explaining 11.47% of the phenotypic variation. As far as the spikelet number per panicle-related QTL was concerned, it was found to be located in the interval of RM17308-RM17305, which explained 28.08% of the phenotypic variation. Using the online Plant-GE query system, a total of 13 matched ESTs (expressed sequence tags) were found in the target region, and of the 13 ESTs, 12 had corresponding predicted genes. For instance, the two ESTs CB096766 and CA765747 were corresponded to the same predicted gene LOC_Os04g46370, while the other four ESTs, CA754286, CB000011, CX056247, and CX056240, were corresponded to the same predicted gene LOC_Os04g46390.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of total colonic exclusion plus side to side antiperistaltic ileorectal anastomosis in the treatment for elderly patients with slow transit constipation (STC). METHODS: Clinical data of 13 patients with severe idiopathic STC undergoing the above novel procedure in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University between May 2009 and September 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The Wexner constipation score and gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) before and 6 months after operation were compared. RESULTS: There were 8 female and 5 male patients, with a mean age of 74 years (range 63-82 years). No procedure-related deaths or any serious complication occurred. The length of follow-up ranged from 6 to 29 months (median,12 months). The duration of surgery was (55±4) min. Blood loss was (30±2) ml. The postoperative hospital stay ranged 10 to 16 days (mean 11.4 days). The first bowel movement occurred in the 4th day (range 2nd-8th day) after operation. There was no intestinal occlusion and anastomotic leakage that required surgery in all the patients. No fecal incontinence or constipation recurrence was found. One patient developed blind loop syndrome 14 months after operation. Postoperative complications included incision fat liquefaction in 2 cases, anorectal bearing-down while bowel movement in 2 cases, and minor defecate difficulty needed glycerin enema in 1 case. Wexner scores was significantly improved from 22.8±3.3 before operation to 5.4±2.1 six months after operation (P<0.05). GQLI was significantly increased from 93.6±20.5 before operation to 120.8±13.0 six months after operation (P<0.05). At 6 months after operation, the outcome was excellent in 11 patients and good in 2 patients. CONCLUSION: Total colonic exclusion plus side to side antiperistaltic ileorectal anastomosis is easy, safe and effective in the treatment for selected elderly patients with STC.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility and functional outcome of antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy in colorectal reconstruction. METHODS: Fifty-six patients who underwent antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy were retrospectively studied. Indications for antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy included slow transit constipation(n=44), synchronous colon cancer or colonic polyps(n=5), acute obstructing left colon carcinoma(n=4), and adult megacolon(n=3). RESULTS: Short-term postoperative complications included wound infections(n=5), 3 lymphatic leakages(n=3), and inflammatory small bowel obstruction(n=1). One month after antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy, the median frequency of daily bowel movement was 4.0(range, 2-6). After a median follow-up of 4 years(range, 1 month to 7 years), the median daily bowel frequency was 2.5(range, 0.5-4.0). Five patients suffered from long-term postoperative complications including small bowel obstruction(n=3), incision hernia(n=1), and mild cecal dilatation(n=1). The mean Wexner incontinence score was 4.2±1.1. CONCLUSION: Antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy is safe and effective for colorectal reconstruction.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between polymorphism of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)1498 C/T,936 C/T and colorectal adenoma genetic susceptibility. METHODS: A case-control study of 224 colorectal adenomas and 200 controls was conducted and VEGF genotypes were determined based on TaqMan-probe assay. The epidemiological factors were collected through questionnaire. Accordingly, the clinicopathological data of each sample were also investigated. RESULTS: The carriage of 936 CT and CT+TT genotypes had significantly higher risk of colorectal adenoma (CT vs. CC, OR=2.00, 95% CI: 1.23-3.25, P=0.006; CT+TT vs. CC, OR=2.04, 95% CI:1.28-3.26, P=0.003). 936-T allele carriage had increased risk of colorectal adenoma (OR=1.91, 95% CI:1.25-2.91, P=0.003). The genotypes of 1498 C/T and the frequency of C/T allele showed no differences between healthy persons and patients (P>0.05). In patients with 936 CT+TT and 936-T allele implied a tendency of villous adenoma category (CT+TT vs. CC, OR=2.54, 95% CI:1.12-5.75, P=0.040; T allele vs. C allele, OR=3.08, 95% CI, 1.64-5.80, P=0.001). CONCLUSION: VEGF 936 C/T polymorphism can influence susceptibility to colorectal adenoma.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical outcome and quality of life of subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy and total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (TAC-IRA) in patients with severe slow transit constipation (STC). METHODS: Of the 56 patients enrolled in this study from January 1999 to June 2008, 32 cases underwent subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy, and 20 patients underwent TAC-IRA. The patients' clinical characteristics, operative data, postoperative outcome, functional result and gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) survey were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 1-7 years (median, 4 years). The basic clinical characteristics between the two groups was comparable. During the follow-up period, the number of daily bowel movements in the subtotal colectomy group was significantly fewer than that in TAC-IRA group (2.5+/-0.8 vs. 3.4+/-0.8; P=0.000). The Wexner continence score was significantly lower in subtotal colectomy group (4.4+/-1.6 vs. 5.8+/-1.9; P=0.011), and the GIQLI score in subtotal colectomy group was significantly higher than that in the TAC-IRA group (120.7+/-7.5 vs. 111.1+/-12.0; P=0.005). CONCLUSION: Subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy appeared to be the superior treatment than the TAC-IRA for selected patients with slow transit constipation for improved functional outcomes and quality of life.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy between subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy and total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (TAC-IRA) for patients with severe refractory slow transit constipation(STC). METHODS: During 1999 to 2002, TAC-IRA was the preferred procedure for 20 STC patients in our department. From 2003 to 2005, 17 STC patients underwent subtotal colectomy plus antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy. Clinical data of the two groups were collected and compared retrospectively. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in basic preoperative clinical data between the two groups. During the follow-up period, the time of daily defecation in the antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy group was less than that of TAC-IRA group (2.4+/-0.9 vs 3.4+/-0.8, P=0.0014), meanwhile the Wexner continence score was significantly lower in the antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy group (4.3+/-1.8 vs 5.8+/-1.9, P=0.0223). Barium enema after subtotal colectomy showed that residual ascending colon and cecum presented a sign of "reservoir". CONCLUSION: Subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy is a better method for appropriately selected patients with STC than TAC-IRA.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Total abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (TAC-IRA) is recommended widely for the patients with severe, refractory slow transit constipation (STC). Subtotal colectomy with end-to-end antiperistaltic cecorectal anastomosis (Sarli procedure), an alternative for STC, has been paid particular attention. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively compare alterations of clinical functions and qualities of life between TAC-IRA and Sarli procedure. METHODS: Seventeen patients with STC who underwent Sarli procedure and 20 patients with STC who underwent TAC-IRA were chosen for this study. Patient characteristics, operative data, postoperative data, alterations of clinical function, and quality of life were compared. The gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) survey was used to evaluate postoperative qualities of life. RESULTS: At the mean 4-year follow-up (range 2-6 years), the frequency of daily bowel movement in the Sarli group was significantly less than that in the TAC-IRA group (2.4 +/- 0.9 vs. 3.4 +/- 0.8; P = 0.0014), and the Wexner continence scores were significantly lower in the Sarli group compared to the TAC-IRA group (4.3 +/- 1.8 vs. 5.8 +/- 1.9; P = 0.0223). However, the GIQLI score in Sarli group was higher than the TAC-IRA group (119.8 +/- 7.5 vs. 111.1 +/- 12.0, P = 0.0455). Post subtotal colectomy barium enema showed a sign of "reservoir" at the residual ascending colon and cecum. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to the TAC-IRA, subtotal colectomy with end-to-end antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy for appropriately selected patients with STC resulted in relief of constipation, satisfactory functional outcome, and improved qualities of life.

RESUMO

Anatomical variations of the cystic duct often occur and may be encountered during cholecystectomy. Knowledge of the variable anatomy of the cystic duct and cysticohepatic junction is important to avoid significant ductal injury in biliary surgery. Here, we present two unusual cases with an anomalous cystic duct, namely, low lateral insertion and narrow-winding of the cystic duct. The first case was a 64-year-old man with cholelithiasis and chronic cholecystitis. During surgery, the entrance of the cystic duct was misidentified as being short and leading into the right hepatic duct. Further exploration showed multiple calculi in the right and common hepatic ducts. Cholecystectomy was completed, followed by T-tube drainage of the common and right hepatic ducts. Postoperative T-tube cholangiography demonstrated that the two T tubes were respectively located in the cystic and common hepatic duct. Six weeks later, the retained stones in the distal choledochus were extracted by cholangioscopy through the sinus tract of the T-tube. The second case was a 41-year-old woman, in which, preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) revealed a long cystic duct, with a narrow and curved-in lumen. The patient underwent open cholecystectomy. Both patients were cured. The authors propose that preoperative ERCP or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and intraoperative cholangiography or cholangioscopy constitute a useful and safe procedure for determining anatomical variations of the cystic duct.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the long-term results after subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy in idiopathic chronic slow-transit constipation. METHODS: Between January 2003 and February 2004, 14 patients with chronic slow-transit constipation and 2 patients with mixed constipation underwent subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy. The following information was collected during follow-up (mean 3 years): number of bowel movement, stool consistency, complications, quality of life and degree of satisfaction. RESULTS: There was no mortality or major postoperative complications. One month after the operation, bowel frequency was a mean of 4 daily, with a semi-liquid stool consistency. After 3 years, bowel frequency was a mean of 2 daily, with a semi-solid stool consistency. Although no patient used antidiarrheal medicine, laxatives continued to be used by one case with mixed chronic constipation. All patients reported a good or improved quality of life and satisfied with the results. Two patients developed adhesive ileus post operation. There was no diarrhea or incontinence occurred during the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Subtotal colectomy with end-to-end antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy for appropriately selected patients with slow-transit constipation results in consistent relief of constipation and satisfactory outcome.

RESUMO

The interference of light has been analyzed for a film structure by considering that a spatial separation exists for the two neighboring light beams to be interfered in the space. There is a significant difference between the situations of the interference with or without consideration of the spatial effect, especially around the region where the phase delay delta=pi and 2pi by taking the example of the one-layered SiO2/Si structure. It is reasonable to extract the optical parameters by neglecting the spatial effect only for the thinner film with a thickness much smaller than a wavelength, which satisfies the condition that delta

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of pravastatin, fosinopril and their combination on ventricular remodeling, cardiac function, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) mRNA expression, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) activities after myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. METHODS: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was established by ligation of the anterior descending coronary artery in male Sprague-Dawly (SD) rats. Twenty-four hours after the procedure, the 48 surviving rats were grouped randomly as AMI control, fosinopril (10 mg.kg(-1).d(-1)), pravastatin (20 mg.kg(-1).d(-1)) and a combined use of the 2 drugs. Sham-operated group (n = 8) was taken randomly as non-infarction control. Six weeks after treatment with the drugs by gastric gavage, heart function and left ventricular remodeling were assessed. Left ventricular weight (LVW)/body weight (BW) ratio was determined. The relative expression of myocardium TNF-alpha mRNA was assessed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Left ventricular myocardium MMPs activities were assessed by Zymography. RESULTS: There were no significant differences among the four AMI groups in infarction size (P > 0.05). In comparison with the AMI group, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, LVW/BW all decreased significantly (P < 0.05 - 0.01); while dp/dtmax, dp/dtmin, fractional shortening (FS) and ejection fraction (EF) increased significantly in all three drug-treated groups (P < 0.05 - 0.01); increments of FS, LVEF and dp/dtmax were more evident in the combination group than either the fosinopril or pravastatin group (P < 0.05). The levels of TNF-alpha mRNA in AMI rats treated with fosinopril, pravastatin and their combination reduced 29%, 26% and 33%, respectively (P < 0.01); MMP-2 activity reduced 25%, 30% and 35%, respectively (P < 0.01); MMP-9 activity reduced 20%, 18% and 24%, respectively (P < 0.01). There were no significant differences in other variables among the 3 treatment groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Pravastatin, fosinopril and their combination showed favorable effects on left ventricular remodeling after AMI in rats and demonstrated improved cardiac function. The combined treatment group yielded better results in the context of improving left ventricular systolic function. These effects could be relevant to the attenuation of increased MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities and left ventricular expression of TNF-alpha.
