RESUMO
There are inconsistencies in treatment outcomes, measurement instruments, and criteria for assessing clinical effectiveness in studies related to distal radius fractures (DRF), resulting in potential biases and failing to provide high-quality clinical evidence. To address these challenges, international researchers have reached a consensus on developing the core outcome indicator set for distal radius fractures(COS-DRF). However, it's important to note that the existing COS-DRF framework could not reflect the unique characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment. Currently, there are no established standards for treatment outcomes and measurement instruments specific to TCM clinical research, nor has a COS-DRF been established for TCM clinical studies in China. In light of these gaps, our research team aims to construct a core set of treatment outcomes for TCM clinical research on distal radius fractures. This involves compiling a comprehensive list of treatment outcomes and measurement instruments, initially derived from a thorough literature review and expert consensus, which will then undergo further refinement and updates based on real-world clinical experiences, incorporating feedback from 2 to 3 rounds of expert consensus or Delphi questionnaire surveys. Our goal is to establish a COS-DRF or CMS-DRF that aligns with the principles and practices of TCM, and provide high-quality evidence for clinical practice.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common digestive diseases with high incidence, complicated clinical symptoms, difficulties in standard treatment, and heavy medical burden. At present, some GERD-relevant clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have been issued by different countries and academic organizations, but some recommendations were inconsistent, which has caused some problems for the current clinical whole-course management of GERD. To summarize the relevant evidence among the CPGs on GERD and formulate the whole- course management strategies, we included GERD-relevant CPGs published or updated after 2010 by searching websites of guidelines, relevant professional societies, and electronic databases. We extracted the recommendations and summarized the evidence from the aspects of symptoms, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment, which was presented in the form of evidence mapping. We included 24 CPGs, including three in Chinese and 21 in English. The clinical practice management strategies of GERD were formulated based on the evidence from the aspects of clinical symptoms, diagnostic methods, medical treatment, anti-reflux surgery and endoscopic treatment, psychological treatment, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of oxaliplatin combined with S-1 (SOX) as adjuvant chemotherapy after D2 radical gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer. Methods: A descriptive case series study was applied. Case inclusion criteria: (1) locally advanced gastric cancer confirmed by endoscopic biopsy or surgical specimen pathology as gastric adenocarcinoma; (2) receiving D2 radical gastric resection followed by SOX regimen adjuvant chemotherapy. Case exclusion criteria: (1) postoperative pathological TNM stage I or IV; (2) acute complications and emergency surgeries; (3) receiving neoadjuvant therapy; (4) concurrent malignancies and complications compromising patients' treatment or survival; (5) without receiving adjuvant SOX chemotherapy. A total of 94 patients with stage II-III gastric cancer who underwent D2 radical gastrectomy and postoperative adjuvant SOX chemotherapy at department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Peking University People's Hospital from January 2014 to December 2019 were retrospectively enrolled. Chemotherapy-related adverse events, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed and log rank test was used to analyze the difference between groups. P<0.2 or clinically significant indicators in univariate analysis were included in Cox regression model for multivariate survival analysis. Results: Among these 94 patients, there were 65 males and 29 females with an average age of (58.2±12.1) years; 33 patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, 11 patients with family history of gastrointestinal tumors; 59 patients with tumors locating in the antrum or pylorus, 16 patients in the gastric body, 19 patients in the gastric fundus or cardia; 29 patients underwent total gastrectomy, 5 patients underwent proximal subtotal gastrectomy, and 60 patients underwent distal subtotal gastrectomy. In this study, 73 patients (77.7%) completed at least 5 cycles of adjuvant SOX regimen chemotherapy. Grade 3-4 adverse reactions included thrombocytopenia (23.4%, 22/94), nausea and vomiting (18.1%, 17/94) and peripheral neurotoxicity (6.4%, 6/94). Eighty-nine patients (94.7%) completed follow-up with a median follow-up time of 32 months. The 3-year and 5-year OS rates were 89.8% and 83.7%, respectively, and the 3-year and 5-year PFS rates were 81.4% and 78.1%, respectively. Taking 5 chemotherapy cycles as the cut-off point, the 3-year OS rate and 3-year PFS rate were 72.2% and 53.9% in the adjuvant chemotherapy < 5 cycles group, and 93.7% and 87.1% in the adjuvant chemotherapy ≥5 cycles group, respectively; the differences were statistically significant (P=0.029, P=0.006). Univariate analysis showed that the adjuvant chemotherapy < 5 cycles group was associated with worse 3-year OS (P=0.029). Multivariate analysis showed that insufficient chemotherapy cycle (HR=9.419, 95% CI: 2.330-38.007, P=0.002) was an independent risk factor for 3-year OS. Meanwhile, univariate analysis showed that the adjuvant chemotherapy <5 cycles (P=0.006), preoperative CEA > 4.70 μg/L (P=0.035) and adjacent organ resection (P=0.024) were associated with worse 3-year PFS. Multivariate analysis showed that adjuvant chemotherapy <5 cycles (HR=10.493, 95% CI: 2.466-44.655, P=0.001) and adjacent organ resection (HR=127.518, 95% CI: 8.885-1 830.136, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for 3-year PFS. Conclusions: Oxaliplatin combined with S-1 as an adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for locally advanced gastric cancer has high efficacy and low incidence of adverse reactions. At least 5 cycles of SOX regimen adjuvant chemotherapy can significantly improve prognosis of patients with stage II-III gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases in the world, which has a high incidence in our country and threatens people's health seriously. Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy is one of the main methods of surgical treatment for gastric cancer, whose clinical application has a history of near 30 years. With the in-depth understanding of minimally invasive surgery and the improvement of patients' cosmetic demand, single-incision laparoscopic surgery has emerged. Since the first report of single-incision laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in 2010, its safety has been preliminarily confirmed. While this result still needs to be further verified by more prospective randomized controlled studies. Compared with traditional laparoscopic radical gastrectomy, single-incision laparoscopic radical gastrectomy has the advantages of less trauma, less postoperative pain and faster postoperative recovery. So it has been favored by surgeons. However, the steeper learning curve and difficult operation of single-incision laparoscopic radical gastrectomy limit its promotion in clinical applications. At present, there are still controversies and confusions in the single-incision laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. This article elucidates the advances and existing problems of single-incision laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

Objective: To observe the incidence and treatment of radiation rectal injury complicated with anxiety, depression and somatic symptom disorder. Methods: A cross-sectional survey research method was carried out. Patients with radiation rectal injury managed by members of the editorial board of Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery were the subjects of investigation. The inclusion criteria of the survey subjects: (1) patients suffered from pelvic tumors and received pelvic radiotherapy; (2) colonoscopy showed inflammatory reaction or ulcer in the rectum. Exclusion criteria: (1) patient had a history of psycho-somatic disease before radiotherapy; (2) patient was unable to use a smart phone, unable to read and understand the questions in the questionnaire displayed on the phone; (3) patient refused to sign an informed consent form. According to the SOMA self-rating scale, PHQ-15 self-rating scale, GAD-7 and PHQ-9 self-rating scale, the electronic questionnaire of "Psychological Survey of Radiation Proctitis" was designed. The questionnaire was sent to patients with radiation rectal injury managed by the committee through the WeChat group. Observational indicators: (1) radiation rectal injury symptom assessment: using SOMA self-rating scale, radiation rectal injury symptom classification: mild group (≤3 points), moderate group (4-6 points) and severe group (> 6 points); (2) incidence of anxiety, depression and physical disorder: using GAD-7, PHQ-9 and PHQ-15 self-rating scales respectively for assessment; (3) correlation of radiation rectal injury symptom grading with anxiety, depression, and somatic symptom disorder. Results: Seventy-one qualified questionnaires were collected, of which 41 (56.9%) were from Guangzhou. Among the 71 patients, 6 were males and 65 were females; the mean age was (55.7±9.3) years old and 48 patients (67.6%) were less than 60 years old; the median confirmed duration of radiation rectal injury was 2.0 (1.0, 5.0) years. (1) Evaluation of symptoms of radiation rectal injury: 18 cases of mild (25.4%), 27 cases of moderate (38.0%), and 26 cases of severe (36.6%). (2) Incidence of anxiety, depression and somatic disorder: 12 patients (16.9%) without comorbidities; 59 patients (83.1%) with anxiety, depression, or somatic disorder, of whom 2 patients only had anxiety, 1 patient only had depression, 9 only had somatic disorder, 2 had anxiety plus depression, 4 had anxiety plus somatic disorder, 2 had depression plus somatic disorder, and 40 had all three symptoms. (3) correlation of radiation rectal injury grading with anxiety, depression, and somatic symptom disorder: as compared to patients in mild group and moderate group, those in severe group had higher severity of anxiety and somatic symptom disorder (Z=-2.143, P=0.032; Z=-2.045, P=0.041), while there was no statistically significant difference of depression between mild group and moderate group (Z=-1.176, P=0.240). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that radiation rectal injury symptom score was positively correlated with anxiety (r=0.300, P=0.013), depression (r=0.287, P=0.015) and somatic symptom disorder (r=0.344, P=0.003). Conclusions: The incidence of anxiety, depression, and somatic symptom disorder in patients with radiation rectal injury is extremely high. It is necessary to strengthen the diagnosis and treatment of somatic symptom disorder, so as to alleviate the symptoms of patients with pelvic perineum pain and improve the quality of life.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) has been widely applied during thyroid surgery. However, the safe range of stimulation intensity for IONM remains undetermined.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Total thyroidectomies were performed on twenty dogs, and their RLNs were stimulated with a current of 5-20 mA (step-wise in 5 mA increments) for 1 min. The evoked electromyography (EMG) of vocal muscles before and after supramaximal stimulation were recorded and compared. Acute microstructural morphological changes in the RLNs were observed immediately postoperatively under an electron microscope.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The average stimulating threshold for RLNs stimulated with 15 mA and 20 mA showed no significant changes compared to the unstimulated RLNs (15 mA group: 0.320 ± 0.123 mA vs. 0.315 ± 0.097 mA, P = 0.847; 20 mA group: 0.305 ± 0.101 mA vs. 0.300 ± 0.103 mA, P = 0.758). Similar outcomes were shown in average evoked EMG amplitude (15 mA group: 1,026 ± 268 μV vs. 1,021 ± 273 μV, P = 0.834; 20 mA group: 1,162 ± 275 μV vs. 1,200 ± 258 μV, P = 0.148). However, obvious acute microstructural morphological changes were observed in the nerves that were stimulated with 20 mA.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>A stimulation intensity less than 15 mA might be safe for IONM of the RLN.</p>

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Bloodstream infections (BSIs) remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery. This study aimed at elucidating the clinical characteristics of community-acquired BSIs (CABs) and nosocomial BSIs (nBSIs) in patients admitted to the surgical wards of a teaching hospital in Beijing, China.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>This cross-sectional study compared 191 episodes of BSIs in 4074 patients admitted to the surgical wards between January 2008 and December 2011. Cases of BSIs were classified as CABs or nBSIs, and the characteristics, relevant treatments, and outcomes of CABs and nBSIs were compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 191 BSIs, 52 (27.2%) and 139 (72.8%) were CABs and nBSIs, respectively. Escherichia coli, coagulasenegative staphylococci, and Klebsiella spp, were the most frequently isolated microorganisms. There were significant differences between CABs and nBSIs with respect to the use of hormonal drugs, ventilation, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II and American Society of Anesthesiologists scores, and prevalence of cancer (P < 0.05). Empirical antibacterial therapy did not decrease the crude mortality, but multivariate analysis showed that high APACHE II was independently associated with a risk of mortality (odds ratio = 0.97, 95% confidence interval: 0.93-1.02 for APACHE II).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>We found significant differences in the clinical characteristics of surgical patients with CABs and nBSIs. The outcome of patients seems to be related to high APACHE II scores.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVES</b>To investigate the relationship between the expression of transgelin-2 and the clinicopathological factors of colorectal carcinoma and evaluate the value of transgelin-2 in prognostic assessment of the colorectal cancer patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Using tissue microarray and immunohistochemical methods, we examined transgelin-2 of 120 colorectal cancer patients received surgical treatment from September 2002 to April 2004, including 74 male and 46 female, age from 26 to 89 years. Analyzed the relationship between transgelin-2 and both the clinicopathological features and prognosis of the colorectal cancer by using χ² test and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Cox proportion hazard regression analysis was used to study the independent prognostic factors.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive rate of transgelin-2 expression was 69.2% in colorectal carcinoma. The transgelin-2 expression correlated with differentiation degree (χ² = 5.420), lymph nodes metastasis (χ² = 45.577), distant metastasis (χ² = 12.009), and TNM staging (χ² = 47.577). The survival time was (39 ± 5) months in patients with positive expression of the transgelin-2, while (59 ± 3) months in patients with negative expression. The patient's survival time was statistically correlated with the transgelin-2 expression (P = 0.003). Distant metastasis (RR = 8.318, 95%CI: 4.119 - 16.790), lymph nodes metastasis (RR = 2.794, 95%CI: 1.246 - 6.263) and transgelin-2 expression (RR = 1.834, 95%CI: 1.118- 2.973) were independent prognostic factors in patients with colorectal cancer (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The expression of transgelin-2 is correlated with clinicopathological features and prognosis in colorectal cancer, may be the potential marker of metastasis and the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the clinicopathological relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and colorectal cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical data of 507 cases of colorectal cancer (colorectal cancer group) and 277 cases of nontumorous diseases (control group) treated from January 2002 to March 2007 were collected to set up the database. The patients with colorectal carcinoma were divided into two groups according to the presence of MS: MS group and non-MS group. Some clinicopathological factors were analyzed and compared between the two groups, such as age, gender, blood pressure, tumor family history, hypertension and diabetes mellitus history, body mass index (BMI), glucose (GLU), triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (CHO), high density lipoprotein (HDL), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), uric acid (UA), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) , CA19-9, the tumor position, pathological stage, and liver metastasis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The morbidity rate of metabolic syndrome in the colorectal cancer group was significantly higher than that in control group. The rate of liver metastasis and tumor recurrence in the MS group was significantly higher than that in the non-MS group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>To understand the relationship between MS and colorectal cancer is important for reducing the incidence of MS and colorectal cancer and the recurrence of the tumor and live metastasis.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of the protocol recommended by NCCN-2007 on the diagnosis of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) in China.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>NCCN protocol consists of identifying HNPCC characteristics according to the revised Bethesda Guidelines,genetic counseling with immunohistochemistry and finally genetic testing. Four hundred and nineteen patients diagnosed as colorectal cancer from January 2002 to February 2006 were selected. The hMLH1 and hMSH2 immunostaining were implemented for 90 patients who fulfilled the revised Bethesda Guidelines, in whom 8 patients fulfilling the Amsterdam II (Criteria were classified as group A and the other 82 patients as group B. The frozen tissues were collected from patients who showed loss of hMLH1 or hMSH2 protein expression, then RNA was extracted, and RT-PCR and cDNA sequencing were adopted to detect the germline mutations of hMLH1 and hMSH2.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Tumor tissues from 18 patients showed loss of hMLH1 or hMSH2 protein expression (5 patients in group A and 13 in group B). Finally, 21 patients(8 in group A and 13 in group B showed loss expression of MMR protein) were diagnosed as HNPCC, including 2 cases of hMLH1 and 1 case of hMSH2 mutations. These 3 cases with cDNA mutations did not fulfill the Amsterdam II( Criteria, and were finally diagnosed as HNPCC.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The protocol recommended by NCCN-2007 offers a useful approach to identify HNPCC patients,and reduces the possibility of missed diagnosis of HNPCC.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To screen the clinicopathological factors of synchronous hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer for early diagnosis and therapy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinicopathological data of 367 cases with colorectal cancer from Jan. 2003 to Dec. 2006 in our department were collected to set up the database. All the patients were divided into two groups according to hepatic metastases or not. Clinicopathological factors were analyzed, such as age, sex, blood type, tumor family history, hepatitis and cirrhosis history, peritoneal or pelvic metastases, bowel obstruction, CEA, CA19-9, tumor localization and size, histological type, infiltration depth, lymph node metastases etc.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Out of 367 colorectal cancer cases, there were 56 cases with synchronous hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer, accounting for 15.3%. The age, bowel obstruction, peritoneal or pelvic metastases, and tumor invasion depth were associated with the hepatic metastases. The primary tumor located in the right colon resulted in more right lobe hepatic metastases than those in the left lobe. The serum CEA level was associated with hepatic metastases. When serum CEA was more than 22.1 microg/L, the occurrence rate of hepatic metastases increased.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Peritoneal or pelvic metastases, bowel obstruction, age and serum CEA level are associated with synchronous hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer.</p>
