Objective:To analyze the relationship between perineural invasion and other clinicopathological factors and its effect on the prognosis of gastric cancer.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 665 patients with gastric cancer were retrospectively analyzed. According to the presence of perineural invasion, the patients were divided into perineural invasion positive group and perineural invasion negative group. The relationship between perineural invasion and other clinicopathological factors and its effect on the prognosis of gastric cancer were analyzed. After eliminating the potential confusion bias between the two groups by propensity score matching (PSM) , the differences of 5-year cumulative survival rate between the two groups of gastric cancer patients were compared.Results:The incidence of perineural invasion was 17.0% (113 cases) . The binary logistic regression analysis showed that the depth of tumor invasion and vascular tumor thrombus were independent factors influencing the occurrence of gastric cancer perineural invasion (all P<0.001) . Univariate analysis showed that age (>60 years) , tumor diameter (>4 cm) , borrmann classification, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, degree of differentiation, vascular tumor thrombus, perineural invasion, tumor nodule, tumor site, resection site, and surgical operation were the influencing factors for the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer ( P<0.05) , but multivariate analysis showed that age (>60 years) , tumor diameter (>4cm) , depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, and positive vascular tumor thrombi were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of gastric cancer patients ( P<0.05) .However, perineural invasion cannot be an independent factor influencing the poor prognosis of gastric cancer in a multivariate analysis. Survival analysis was performed after propensity matching scores, and it was found that there was no statistically significant difference in the five-year survival rate between the perineural invasion positive group and the perineural invasion negative group (34.6% vs 43.0%; χ2=1.713; P=0.191) ,and there was no significant difference in the survival curve analysis between the two. Conclusion:Most patients with gastric cancer of perineural invasion have poor prognosis, but perineural invasion cannot be an independent prognostic factor for the prognosis of gastric cancer.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of cranial approach priority, counterclockwise sequential comple mesocolic excision in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.Methods:From Jan. 2020 to Dec. 2020, 30 patients with right colon cancer in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Laparoscopic radical right hemicolectomy was performed via the approach of complete mesocolic excision. The general clinicopathological data of the patients, perioperative data such as operation time, intraoperative blood loss, number of cases of hemorrhage caused by Henle trunk and subordinate branch injury, whether or not converted to open surgery, postoperative pathological data (TNM staging, total number of dissected lymph nodes and the number of metastatic lymph nodes) , postoperative recovery (exhaust time, the time of fluid intake, drainage tube removal and hospital stay) , and complications (such as bleeding, anastomotic leakage, secondary surgery, lymphatic leakage, pulmonary infection, abdominal infection, incision infection, etc) were recorded. Follow-up was performed by telephone or outpatient in 1 year after surgery.Results:The total operation time was (197.80±31.20) minutes, ranging from 150 to 275 minutes, and the intraoperative blood loss was (58.33±30.30) ml, ranging from 10 to 100 ml. There were no cases of intraoperative Henle stem and branch injury bleeding or conversion to open surgery. Postoperative exhaust time was (2.97±0.67) d, ranging from 2 to 4d; postoperative fluid intake time was (3.67±0.76) d, ranging from 3 to 5d; postoperative drainage tube removal time was (6.60±4.00) d, ranging from 4 to 25 days; postoperative hospital stay was (7.87±3.94) days, ranging from 5 to 26 days. pTNM staging: 9 cases of stage I, 5 cases of stage IIA, 1 case of stage IIB, 6 cases of stage IIIA, 4 cases of stage IIIB, and 5 cases of stage IIIC. The total number of lymph nodes dissected was (29.50±8.18) , ranging from 19 to 51; the number of metastatic lymph nodes was (1.40±1.77) , ranging from 0 to 6. Postoperative complications included incision infection in 1 case, anastomotic leakage in 1 case, lymphatic leakage in 2 cases, and lung infection in 1 case. No tumor recurrence or metastasis was found during follow-up, and no patient died.Conclusion:Cranial approach priority, counterclockwise sequential complete mesocolic excision is safe and effective in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.

Objective:To study the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on intestinal function and gut microbiota changes in patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy.Methods:From Aug. 2018 to Dec. 2019, 80 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical D2 gastrectomy for gastric cancer in the first Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital were selected. According to whether it adopts ERAS treatment or not, patients were divided into 2 groups (n=40) : ERAS group and traditional perioperative treatment group. The time of postoperative bowel sounds, the time of first exhaust and defecation, the proportion of antibiotic-related diarrhea and surgical site infection (SSI) were recorded. Stools were collected before operation, first time after operation, 1, 2 weeks and 1 month after operation. 16S rRNA sequencing method was used to identify the diversity and species of gut microbiota. The diversity index of intestinal flora in the perioperative period and changes in the proportion of probiotics (bifidobacterium and lactobacillus) were compared.Results:The appearance time of bowel sounds, the first exhaust and defecation time [ (16.25±6.41) h, (23.95±6.02) h, (34.95±9.34) h] in ERAS group were significantly earlier than those in the traditional treatment group [ (22.3±6.49) h, (28.45±7.12) h, (48.1±15.64) h], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The incidence of antibiotic-related diarrhea was higher in the traditional treatment group (3/40) than in ERAS group (1/40) , but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . The ratio of postoperative SSI was slightly higher in ERAS group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . In the perioperative period, the intestinal flora diversity index (Chao1 and Shannon index) and the proportion of probiotics (lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium) were not significantly different between the two groups before surgery ( P>0.05) ; while at the first time, one week, 2 weeks after the operation, and 1 month after the operation, ERAS group was higher than the traditional group ( P<0.05) ; and at each postoperative time point, the traditional group decreased significantly than the ERAS group. The first time decrease was the largest, ( P<0.05) ; With the passage of time after operation, the diversity of intestinal flora and the proportion of probiotics gradually recovered. By 1 month after operation, the two groups did not return to the preoperative gut microbiota diversity state or proportion. Conclusion:The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) promotes the recovery of intestinal function in patients with gastric cancer, does not reduce the proportion of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) or surgical site infections (SSI) , and maintains the diversity of gut microbiota balance and stability.
