RESUMO
Background/Aims@#The interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are pacemaker cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. We examined whether the activity of ICC could be stimulated to control colonic contractions. An optogenetics-based mouse model in which the light-sensitive protein channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) was expressed was used to accomplish cell specific, direct stimulation of ICC. @*Methods@#An inducible site-specific Cre-loxP recombination system was used to generate KitCreERT2/+ ;ROSAChR2(H134R)/tdTomato/+ mice in which ChR2(H134R), a variant of ChR2, was genetically expressed in ICC after tamoxifen administration. Genotyping and immunofluorescence analysis were performed to confirm gene fusion and expression. Isometric force recordings were performed to measure changes in contractions in the colonic muscle strips. @*Results@#ChR2 was specifically expressed in Kit-labeled ICC. The isometric force recordings showed that the contractions of the colonic muscle strips changed under 470 nm blue light. Light stimulation evoked premature low-frequency and high amplitude (LFHA) contractions and enhanced the frequency of the LFHA contractions. The light-evoked contractions were blocked by T16Ainh-A01, an antagonist of anoctamin 1 channels that are expressed selectively in ICC in colonic muscles. @*Conclusions@#Our study demonstrates a potentially feasible approach to stimulate the activity of ICC by optogenetics. The colonic motor patterns of muscle strips, especially LFHA contractions, can be regulated by 470 nm light via ChR2, which is expressed in ICC.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the application value of Da Vinci robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (R-TAMIS) for local resection of rectal neoplasms.Methods:The retros-pective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 7 rectal neoplasms patients undergoing R-TAMIS in Daping Hospital of Army Medical University from June 2017 to March 2021 were collected. There were 3 males and 4 females, aged (60±7)years. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative situations; (2) postoperative recovery; (3) postoperative histopatholo-gical examinations; (4) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using telephone interview or outpatient examination to detect readmission of patients within postoperative 30 days, tumor recurrence and metastasis and survival of patients. Follow-up was performed at postoperative 1, 3, 6 months and once every 6 months thereafter up to April 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Intraoperative situations. All the 7 patients underwent R-TAMIS successfully without conversion to laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery. Of the 7 patients, 2 cases underwent full-thickness rectal resection and 5 cases underwent submucosal dissection of tumor. The rectal wounds were not sutured in 2 cases because of large lesions, and the rectal wounds were sutured with synthetic sutures in 5 cases after resection of lesions. Transanal drainage tube was placed in 2 cases and not in 5 cases. The volume of intra-operative blood loss of the 7 patients was 15(range, 2?50)mL. The total operation time of the 7 patients was (91.4±18.4)minutes, including (19.1±2.3)minutes for transanal platform placement and Da Vinci robotic surgical system installation, and (72.3±16.6)minutes for operation. There was no intraoperative complication such as urethral injury. (2) Postoperative recovery. All the 7 patients started water drinking and out-of-bed activities at postoperative day 1 and liquid food intake at postoperative day 2. The time to postoperative first flatus of the 7 patients was 1(range, 1?3)days. The two cases with transanal drainage underwent removing of transanal drainage at postoperative day 2. There was no postoperative complication and the duration of postoperative hospital stay of the 7 patients was 3(range, 3?9)days. (3) Postoperative histopathological examinations. Of the 7 patients, 3 cases had villous adenoma, 2 cases had villous adenoma combined with high grade intraepithelial neoplasia, local canceration and tumor invasion into submucosa (stage SM1), 1 case had villous adenoma combined with high grade intraepithelial neoplasia, local canceration and tumor localized in the inner mucosa (stage Tis) and 1 case had moderately differentiated adeno-carcinoma with tumor invasion into superficial muscle layer (stage T2). All the 7 patients had negative surgical margins with none of tumor cell remained in the base. (4) Follow-up. All the 7 patients were followed up for 18(range, 1?42)months. One of the 7 patients showed rectal adenocarcinoma with tumor invasion into superficial muscle layer by the postoperative histopathological examina-tion and was recommended for remedial radical surgery. The patient refused further surgery and underwent 3 courses of oral capecitabine chemotherapy. The other 6 patients did not receive postoperative chemotherapy. None of 7 patients underwent readmission within postoperative 30 days, and no patient had tumor local recurrence, distant metastasis or death during the follow-up.Conclusion:R-TAMIS for local resection of rectal neoplasms is safe and feasible for patients with rectal adenoma and early rectal cancer, with reliable short-term efficacy and short-term oncological efficacy.

The clinical data of 3 patients with obesity who were admitted to the Daping Hospital of Army Medical University from December 2018 to January 2019 were collected. There were 2 males and 1 female, aged from from 24 to 44 years, with a median age of 25 years. Patients underwent abdominal enhanced CT examination before operation, and the three-dimensional digital models of small bowel for each patient were constructed respectively. Of the 3 patients, 2 underwent sleeve gastrectomy and 1 underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The 3 patients were numbered as No.1, No.2, and No.3 according to the operation time. Observation indicators: (1) construction of three-dimensional digital model of small bowel and preoperative prediction of small bowel length; (2) intraoperative measurement of small bowel length and the relative error between preoperative prediction of small bowel length and intraoperative measurement of small bowel length.

RESUMO
Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity and the related metabolic diseases.At present,although the jejunoileal bypass is widely used in various types of bariatric surgery,the effect of reconstructed anatomy after the jejunoileal bypass on normal physiological function of obese patients has not been clarified.This leaves some controversy about the recommended limb lengths in jejunoileal bypass.At the same time,there is no consensus on the optimal biliary limb length and alimentary limb length in the standard gastric bypass.Lack of accurate measurement of common limb length and total small bowel length inevitably results in unsatisfactory percentage of excess body weight loss caused by short limb length,or malabsorption and malnutrition caused by long limb length.The authors discussed the effects of different length of biliary limb,alimentary limb and common limb on weight loss,and introduced the preliminary application and prospects of the jejunoileal bypass including measurement of total small bowel length in bariatric surgery.
RESUMO
Objective@#To analyze the status of domestic surgical treatment of synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer in China.@*Methods@#Clinicopathological data of patients who underwent surgery from October 2003 to October 2018 in 16 domestic medical centers was retrospectively analyzed. Excel database was created which covered 77 fields of 7 parts: baseline information of patients, laboratory tests, imaging tests, chemoradiotherapy information, intra-operative findings, postoperative pathology and follow-up data. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of the measurement data between groups. The χ2 test was used for comparison of the categorical data between groups. The survival curve was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method.@*Results@#Of the 1 003 patients, there were 575 male and 428 female patients with the age of (58.5±14.1) years (range: 18 to 92 years). In a total of 920 patients, the carcinoma of sigmoid colon was performed in 292 cases (31.8%) with the highest ratio. The proportion of patients with liver metastasis and lung metastasis were 27.9% (219/784) and 8.3% (64/769). Preoperative detection of carcino-embryonic antigen level was the most common method in China (87.74%, 880/1 003), and the positive rate was 64.5% (568/880). The correct rate of preoperative imaging tests was 40.7% (280/688). The ratio of peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) scores between 0 and 10 was the highest (59.6%, 170/285). Two hundred and sixty-two (27.0%) patients were performed by totally laparoscopic operation in 971 patients. The resection of primary tumor was performed in 588 of the 817 patients (72.0%). In a total of 457 cases, 253 (55.4%) patients were performed cytoreduction which group scored completeness of cytoreduction (CCR) 0. The postoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy was implemented in 70 of the 334 cases (21.0%). Among 1 003 cases, 562 cases (56.03%) had complete follow-up data and the median overall survival was 15 months. The primary tumor resection and the CCR scores were affected by the PCI scores. The patients underwent primary tumor resection (187/205 vs. 26/80, χ2=105.085, P=0.000) and the patients were performed cytoreduction which scored CCR 0 or CCR 1 (162/204 vs. 8/78, Z=-10.465, P=0.000) had significant difference between the groups of PCI<20 and ≥20. There was a close correlation between the surgical method and the CCR scores (Z=-3.246,P=0.001).When the maximum degree of tumor reduction was planned, most surgeons would choose laparotomy. The overall survival time was longer in patients with primary tumor resection (P=0.000). The median survival time was 18.6 months in the group of primary tumor resection.@*Conclusions@#It is difficult to diagnose the synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer before the operation. Primary tumor resection has an obvious effect to prolong the survival time. It is necessary to standardize the treatment of peritoneal metastasis.
RESUMO
Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity and the related metabolic diseases. At present, although the jejunoileal bypass is widely used in various types of bariatric surgery, the effect of reconstructed anatomy after the jejunoileal bypass on normal physiological function of obese patients has not been clarified. This leaves some controversy about the recommended limb lengths in jejunoileal bypass. At the same time, there is no consensus on the optimal biliary limb length and alimentary limb length in the standard gastric bypass. Lack of accurate measurement of common limb length and total small bowel length inevitably results in unsatisfactory percentage of excess body weight loss caused by short limb length, or malabsorption and malnutrition caused by long limb length. The authors discussed the effects of different length of biliary limb, alimentary limb and common limb on weight loss, and introduced the preliminary application and prospects of the jejunoileal bypass including measurement of total small bowel length in bariatric surgery.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the risk factors of anastomotic leakage after transanal total mesorectal excision.Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 46 patients with rectal cancer who underwent TaTME surgery from May 2015 to May 2018 in Daping Hospital,Army Medical University.There were 22 males and 24 females,the median age was 61.2 (range from 40 to 79)years.To observe the correlation between perioperative factors and anastomotic leakage,including preoperative staging,operation time,bleeding volume,anastomotic approach,anastomotic height,intraoperative adverse events,and concurrent diseases.The software of SPSS 20.0 was adopted to analyze the above indicators.Results Among 46 patients with rectal cancer,38 were treated with TaTME combined with laparoscopic surgery,5 with robotic transanal combined with transabdominal surgery,and 3 with pure transanal total mesorectal excision.There were no deaths in the whole group.The incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage was 13.0%,1 case of grade B and 1 cases of grade A anastomotic leakage,both accounting for 2.2% and 4 cases of grade C anastomotic leakage,accounting for 8.7%.Anastomotic leak discovery time average (9.8 ± 4.8) d.No anastomotic leakage occurred in 17 cases of ileostomy.Among them,diabetes mellitus,protective ostomy,blood loss ≥ 100 ml,BMI,height of anastomosis and total operation time were significantly correlated with anastomotic leakage.Conclusions In addition to the influence of the learning curve during TaTME surgery,obesity,diabetes,anastomotic height,intraoperative blood loss ≥ 100 ml,and prolonged total operation time are risk factors for anastomotic leakage.Ileal protective ostomy is valuable for reducing anastomotic leakage.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the feasibility and safety of Da Vinci robot-assisted transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME).@*METHODS@#From May 2017 to July 2018, six rectal cancer patients underwent Da Vinci robot-assisted taTME at our hospital. The clinical data and short-term follow-up results were retrospectively analyzed.@*SURGICAL PROCEDURE@#The patient was placed in a Trendelenburg lithotomy position and sutured with purse string 1-2 cm from the anus to the distal end of the tumor. A self-made platform for transanal surgery was installed and the robot was connected. The rectum was transected circumferentially 0.5 cm from the distal end of the purse. The robot entered the " holy plane" and separated upward between the visceral parietal fasciae to the level of the third sacrum posteriorly and the peritoneal refcection anteriorly. The abdominal trocar was repositioned and connected to the robot. Through the abdominal cavity, the Toldt space of the posterior sigmoid mesentery was entered, and the D3 lymph nodes were dissected proximally. Separation was performed distally to join the perineal approach. Specimen was pulled out from the anus and excised. The cut end of sigmoid colon was anastomosed with the distal rectum or anal canal. Operative status, postoperative pathology and short-term efficacy were analyzed. Mesorectum of specimen was evaluated as complete, near complete and incomplete according to the Nagtegaal criteria. Anastomotic leakage was evaluated according to the criteria developed by the International Rectal Cancer Research Group.@*RESULTS@#All the 6 patients received Da Vinci robot-assisted taTME and sigmoid-anal anastomosis. In the 6 patients, 3 were male and 3 female; mean age was (62.6±2.6) years old; body mass index was (20.5±3.0) kg/m; distance from tumor to anal edge was (39.4±12.0) mm; length of tumor was (33.6±9.2) mm. Four patients received neoadjuvant therapy before surgery. All the patients completed operations successfully without conversion to laparotomy perioperative, severe complications or death. The mean total operative time was (245.8±24.2) minutes; transition interval of two procedures was (21.2±2.6) minutes; time of transanal robotic dissection of mesorectum was (72.3±15.2) minutes; intra-operative blood loss was (86.7±59.9) ml; the height of anastomosis was (16.0±6.1) mm. There were no intra-operative complications including accidental hemorrhage or urethral injury in any patients. The length of the specimens was (177.0±33.3) mm, and the mesorectum was complete in 5 cases, and near complete in 1 case. The mean distal margin was (20.2±3.2) mm, and the proximal, distal and circumferential margins were all negative. Postoperative pathological staging: T0N0 in 1 case, T0N1 in 1 case , T2N0 in 2 cases , T4N1 in 1 case, T3N0 in 1 case. The former 5 cases received clear fluit diet on the first day, and received fluid diet on the second day after operation. The drainage tube was removed 3 to 6 days after operation. The postoperative hospital stay was 5 to 7 days. The sixth case developed grade B anastomotic leakage on the third day after operation and healed by conservative treatment. No postoperative death, and no serious complications such as intra-abdominal hemorrhage, intestinal obstruction were found. All the patients were followed up for 5 to 19 months, and no local recurrence and death were observed.@*CONCLUSION@#The robotic system is safe and feasible for taTME procedure in rectal cancer with good short-term efficacy. However, the long-term outcomes require further observation.

Objective To explore the effects of pelvic nerves denervation (PND) on the expression of transit potential receptor vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in distal colonic mucosa of rats.Methods The experimental study was conducted.One hundred and eight adult male rats were randomly divided into the control group,sham operation group and PND group:(1) 36 rats in the control group remained untreated and were fed regularly;(2) 36 in the sham operation group received open exclusion for 15 minutes,and then sew up the incision;(3) 36 in the PND group received laparotomy with pelvic nerve transection before abdominal closure.The expression of TRPV1 protein in distal colonic mucosa was respectively detected by Western blot at postoperative day 1,3 and 7.Reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the mRNA level of TRPV1 in the distal colonic mucosa.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.Repeated measurement data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA.Comparisons at the same time intervals among the 3 groups were analyzed using one-way ANOVA.Pairwise comparison was done by the independent samples t

RESUMO
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the preferred surgical procedure for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Currently,it is controversial how long the roux limb and biliopancreatic limb should be selected during RYGB.Based on the survey of American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS) (2008),the Roux limb ranged from 10 cm to 250 cm and the biliopancreatic limb ranged from 35 cm to 250 cm.The length of small bowel exclusion may affect the postoperative results.Shorter jejunum exclusion may affect the curative effect,while overlong jejunum exclusion may result in nutritional disorders,diarrhea and other complications.Under the condition of fixed jejunal exclusion,it is worth exploring the relationship between the postoperative outcome and different parameters of small bowel exclusion.Lacking of consensus and criteria in this field,authors focused on the related references published recent years to summarize the valuable information.
RESUMO
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been widely used in the world for near 20 years, which should be considered as the milestone of modern medicine advancement, changing the routine perioperative principle, accelerating the recovery speed following operation, minimizing the postoperative pain, and saving the medical resources. Despite the remarkable advance, the quality and application of ERAS in the west China needs further improvement if compared with international level or even some domestic hospitals. The postoperative hospital stay in west China is much longer than the reported 3 to 5 days according to published references. Several suggestions can be help: (1) Based on the published consensus and the successful experiences of ERAS in colorectal surgery, the medical institution should make great effort to extend this technique to change the profound traditional idea in medical staffs and patients. (2) The medical administrations should take the application of ERAS as a key performance index and annual work plan in hospital. (3) Multiple disciplinary team including anesthetist, surgeon, dietitian, and nurses is essential for hospital to promote the quality of ERAS. Undoubtedly, ERAS is going to be the conventional medical care in the western area of China. We may look forward to seeing more researches from western China to update the ERAS consensus.

The incidence of chronic constipation increases year by year, but it is underestimated in affecting the health of patients. Clinical diagnosis and treatment of chronic intractable constipation is difficult, owing to the diversity of clinical manifestations and the unclear pathogenesis. The basic research is expected to identify the pathophysiological mechanism of chronic intractable constipation in the future, which can find out a ultimate solution approach and improve clinical efficacy. At present there are several basic research ways attracting our attention, including enteric nervous system (such as nerve cells, intestinal neurotransmitters, intestinal sensory nerve regulation mechanism), intestinal smooth muscle cells, Cajal interstitial cells and sacral neuromodulation and intestinal microecology. Although current basic researches are still very preliminary, but they have laid foundations of clinical drug development and application of new technology.

RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establishment and verify pelvic nerve denervation (PND) model in mice.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>(1) Establishment of models. Seventy-two healthy male SPE class C57 mice with age of 7 weeks and body weight of (25±1) g were chosen. These 72 mice were randomly divided into PND group containing 36 mice and sham operation group containing 36 mice. Referring to the establishment method of PND rats, after anesthesia, a laparotomy was performed on the mouse with an abdominal median incision. Under the dissection microscope, the pelvic nerves behind and after each sides of the prostate gland were bluntly separated with cotton swabs and cut with a dissecting scissor. After the operation, the urination of mice was assisted twice every day. For the mice of sham operation group, the pelvic nerves were only exposed without cutting. (2) Detection of models. Colonic transit test was performed in 18 mice chosen randomly from each group to detect the colonic transit ratio (colored colon by methylene blue/ whole colon) and visceral sensitivity tests was performed in the rest mice to observe and record the changes of electromyogram.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Three mice died of colonic transit test in each group. Uroschesis occurred in all the mice of PND group and needed bladder massage to assist the urination. Colonic transit test showed that the colonic transit ratios of sham operation group at postoperative day (POD) 1, 3 and 7 were (0.4950±0.3858)%, (0.6386±0.1293)% and (0.6470±0.1088)% without significant difference (F=0.3647, P=0.058), while in PND group, the colonic transit ratio at POD 7 [(0.6044±0.1768) %] was obviously higher than that both at POD 3[(0.3876±0.1364)%, P=0.022] and POD 1[(0.2542±0.0371)%, P=0.001], indicating a recovery trend of colonic transit function (F=9.143, P=0.004). Compared with the sham operation group, the colonic transit function in PND group decreased significantly at POD 1 and POD 3(both P<0.05), and at POD 7, there was no significant difference between two groups. Visceral sensitivity test showed that the visceral sensitivity of sham operation group at POD 1, 3 and 7 was 24.2808±9.5566, 33.6725±7.9548 and 43.9086±12.1875 with significant difference (F=5.722, P=0.014). The visceral sensitivity of PND group at POD 1, 3 and 7 was 11.7609±2.1049, 21.8415±8.1527 and 26.2310±4.2235 with significant difference as well (F=11.154, P=0.001). The visceral sensitivity at POD 3 and POD 7 was obviously higher than that at POD 1 (P=0.006, P<0.001), and there was no significant difference between POD 3 and POD 7 (P=0.183). Compared with sham operation group, the visceral sensitivity of PND group decreased significantly at POD 1, 3 and 7(all P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Denervation of pelvic nerves can obviously decrease the colonic transit function and the visceral sensitivity of mice, but these changes can recover over time, which suggests that the establishment of PND model in mice is successful.</p>

The prevalence of chronic constipation is about 16% in adults, and increases with age, especially after 60 years old. Usually, surgical intervention is recommended to patients with long standing intractable constipation, who have undergone various conservative therapies. Lots of surgical procedures have been reported for different kinds of constipation, including slow transit, outlet obstruction, etc. For slow transit constipation, total or subtotal colectomy is commonly used. Merely for the internal rectal prolapse, at least 10 procedures are commonly adopted in clinic. However, no single procedure has been reached a consensus, not to mention the operative indication, principle of procedure selection and outcome assessment. Objectively, the surgical result of chronic constipation is far from perfect. Especially for outlet obstructive constipation, the satisfactory rate is only about 70%. How to enhance the surgical therapeutic effects should be expected on clinical and translation research. Fortunately, sacral neuromodulation therapy and percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation in managing refractory constipation have brought expected outcomes in recent years. Relationship between microbiota of the colonic mucosa and symptoms, and the sensory nerve regulatory mechanism have attracted much attention. We believe that more translational medicine results can be helpful in the future to improve the comprehensive efficacy of constipation.
RESUMO
Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most serious complications of anterior resection for rectal cancer with morbidity about 10%. Distance of anastomosis to anal margin, underlying disease, surgical technique and perioperative situations are associated with AL. The transanal drainage tube (TDT) after anastomosis is gradually proved to be useful in prevention of AL. Most of the literatures suggest that TDT is simple and safe, and can reduce the incidence of AL. The materials and the operating process of TDT have been universalized gradually: application of silicone or rubber material, large lumen with several side holes, placement at a distance of 3 to 5 cm above the anastomosis for 5 to 7 days. However, selection bias existed in previous studies, and the main problems were disunity of enrolling standard and exclusion of patients with high AL risk, which would not fully reflect the value of TDT. Defunctioning stoma (or diverting stoma, DS) is a common method to prevent and treat the AL. At present, efficacy comparison between TDT and DS remains controversial. Thus, randomized, double-blind, controlled trials are needed to investigate the value of TDT in prevention of AL after anterior resection, especially for middle and low rectal cancer.
