Objective To report on the clinical presentations of patients with colonic angiodysplasia and the results of electrocoagulation under the guide of colonoscopy. Methods Study on the clinical and endoscopic manifestation of patient with colonic angiodysplasia and follow-up study for the risk of bleeding in asymptomatic AD and in those after electrocoagulation. Results Totally 10 200 cases were involved in colonoscopy, among them 126(1. 24%) cases of CAD were found. Prevalence rate in asymptomatic group was 0. 89%, in bleeding group 2. 62%, and in nonbleeding group 0. 82%. In 9 asymptomatic AD cases no bleeding occurred in a period of 3-year follow-up. However, most of the bleeding AD patients have bleeding relapsed within 3 years. The curative effect of electrocoagulation during 1 year is significant the relapse rate of bleeding, 18% as compared to 54% in patients with bleeding without electrocoagilation P

ObjectiveTo investigate the colonoscopic manifestations, the prevalence and natural history of vascular malformation (VM) in elderly patients .MethodsTotally 2917 elderly patients were examined by colonoscopy and the colonoscopic apperances and prevalence were studied. A 3 years follow-up for VM patients was carried to assess bleeding risk. ResultsPrevalence in elderly group was 2.4%, while 0.8% for the non-elderly(P

From April 2017 to June 2020, 46 patients with acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB) underwent endoscopic vascular embolization (EVE) in the Department of Gastroenterology of the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China for rebleeding after endoscopic hemostasis therapy (including local drug injection, electrocoagulation, hemostatic clamp and ligation, etc.). All 46 patients immediately stopped bleeding after EVE, and the effective rate of immediate hemostasis was 100.0%. Postoperative abdominal pain occurred in 13 cases (28.3%), abdominal distension in 3 cases (6.5%) and fever in 2 cases (4.3%). The mucosa healed gradually under gastroscopy 3 and 12 months after the operation. No gastrointestinal rebleeding occurred during the follow-up. Therefore, EVE is a safe and effective method for ANVUGIB patients with failure of initial endoscopic hemostasis, which is worthy of further clinical study and application.

Objective:To explore the function of MDM2 and its relationship with p53 at the cellular level during H 2O 2 induced oxidative damage. Methods:MLE-12 HALI cell models were established using 0.5 mmol/L H 2O 2, and were divided into three groups: normal control group, H 2O 2 injury group, H 2O 2+MDM2 overexpressed group, and H 2O 2+MDM2 shRNA group. Infection of MLE-12 cells with adenovirus vector overexpressing and silencing MDM2; Using immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) to analyze the interaction between MDM2 and p53; Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of MDM2, p53, Bcl-2, Bax, and cleared caspase-3 after HALI modeling; Measure the apoptosis rate of cells in each group. Results:After transcriptome sequencing,the p53 signaling pathway closely related to HALI. Compared with the normal group, the expression of MDM2 in the H 2O 2 injury group was lower ( P<0.05); Compared with the H 2O 2 injury group, overexpression of MDM2 resulted in a decrease in the apoptosis rate of MLE-12 cells ( P<0.05), a decrease in the expression levels of p53, Bax, and cleared caspase-3 proteins, and an upregulation of MDM2 and Bcl-2 protein expression ( P<0.05). Compared with the H 2O 2 injury group, when MDM2 was silenced, the cell apoptosis rate increased ( P<0.05), and the expression levels of p53, Bax, and cleared caspase-3 proteins were upregulated, while the expression levels of MDM2 and Bcl-2 proteins decreased ( P<0.05). Co-IP experiments showed that MDM2 binds to p53 protein. Conclusions:MDM2 can exert a protective effect on HALI by inhibiting MLE-12 cell apoptosis through the p53/Bcl-2/Bax axis.

Objective:To observe and verify the changes of transcriptome in hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (HALI), and to further clarify the changes of pathways in HALI.Methods:Twelve healthy male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normoxia group and HALI group according to the random number table, with 6 mice in each group. The mice in the normoxia group were fed normally in the room, and the mice in the HALI group was exposed to 95% oxygen to reproduce the HALI animal model. After 72 hours of hyperoxia exposure, the lung tissues were taken for transcriptome sequencing, and then Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was performed. The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed under light microscope after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting were used to verify the key molecules in the signal pathways closely related to HALI identified by transcriptomics analysis.Results:Transcriptomic analysis showed that hyperoxia induced 537 differentially expressed genes in lung tissue of mice as compared with the normoxia group including 239 up-regulated genes and 298 down-regulated genes. Further KEGG pathway enrichment analysis identified 20 most significantly enriched pathway entries, and the top three pathways were ferroptosis signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway and glutathione (GSH) metabolism signaling pathway. The related genes in the ferroptosis signaling pathway included the up-regulated gene heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the down-regulated gene solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11). The related genes in the p53 signaling pathway included the up-regulated gene tumor suppressor gene p53 and the down-regulated gene murine double minute 2 (MDM2). The related gene in the GSH metabolic signaling pathway was up-regulated gene glutaredoxin 1 (Grx1). The light microscope showed that the pulmonary alveolar structure of the normoxia group was normal. In the HALI group, the pulmonary alveolar septum widened and thickened, and the alveolar cavity shrank or disappeared. RT-RCR and Western blotting confirmed that compared with the normoxia group, the mRNA and protein expressions of HO-1 and p53 in lung tissue of the HALI group were significantly increased [HO-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 2.16±0.17 vs. 1.00±0.00, HO-1 protein (HO-1/β-actin): 1.05±0.01 vs. 0.79±0.01, p53 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 2.52±0.13 vs. 1.00±0.00, p53 protein (p53/β-actin): 1.12±0.02 vs. 0.58±0.03, all P < 0.05], and the mRNA and protein expressions of Grx1, MDM2, SLC7A11 were significantly decreased [Grx1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.53±0.05 vs. 1.00±0.00, Grx1 protein (Grx1/β-actin): 0.54±0.03 vs. 0.93±0.01, MDM2 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.48±0.03 vs. 1.00±0.00, MDM2 protein (MDM2/β-actin): 0.57±0.02 vs. 1.05±0.01, SLC7A11 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.50±0.06 vs. 1.00±0.00, SLC7A11 protein (SLC7A11/β-actin): 0.72±0.03 vs. 0.98±0.01, all P < 0.05]. Conclusions:HALI is closely related to ferroptosis, p53 and GSH metabolism signaling pathways. Targeting the key targets in ferroptosis, p53 and GSH metabolism signaling pathways may be an important strategy for the prevention and treatment of HALI.

In order to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic hemorrhoids treatment, a retrospective analysis was conducted on data of 166 patients with grade I to Ⅲ hemorrhoids who underwent endoscopic treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from January 2018 to June 2020 with complete follow-up data. There were 35 cases in the simple sclerotherapy group, 104 cases in the simple ligation group, and 27 cases in the ligation combined sclerotherapy group. The results showed that, no serious complications occurred in the 3 groups after surgery. In the simple ligation group and the ligation combined with sclerotherapy group, the incidence of postoperative anal pain [35.6% (37/104) and 33.3% (9/27), respectively,] and anal pendant distension [70.2% (73/104) and 70.4% (19/27), respectively] were higher, but symptoms could be tolerated or relieved after simple treatment. The satisfaction of patients in the 3 groups was all more than 90% before discharge, and the degree of operation acceptance was more than 95%. The effective rate of the 3 groups was above 90.0% at 3 months after surgery, At 12 months after surgery, the effective rate of the simple sclerotherapy group was the lowest [74.3% (26/35)], and the effective rate of the other two groups was still above 85.0%. In conclusion, minimally invasive treatment for internal hemorrhoids under endoscopy is safe and effective with effective improvement of symptoms, high postoperative satisfaction of patients and high degree of acceptance.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic sclerotherapy with polycinnamol solution and foam in the treatment of grade II hemorrhagic internal hemorrhoids.Methods:From September 2020 to June 2021, 81 patients with grade II hemorrhagic internal hemorrhoids were collected from the Department of Gastroenterology, the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group. The observation group was injected with polycinnamol solution, and the control group was injected with polycinnamol foam. All of them were treated with endoscopic sclerotherapy. The clinical data of the two groups were compared and analyzed. The operation time, immediate hemostasis rate, incidence of postoperative complications (such as fever, pain, bleeding and Urinary retention), recurrence and rebleeding rate of the two groups were observed, and the efficacy and safety of the two groups in the treatment of grade II hemorrhagic internal hemorrhoids were compared.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in basic data between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05), indicating comparability. The surgical operation time of the observation group patients [(7.40±1.18)min] was shorter than that of the control group [(13.88±0.95)min] ( P<0.05); The injection dose of polycinnamol [(5.79±1.61)ml] in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [(4.38±1.92)ml] ( P<0.05). The immediate postoperative hemostasis rate in the observation group was the same as that in the control group (100%). The incidence of postoperative fever (7.32%), perianal pain (4.88%), bleeding (7.32%), and urinary retention (4.88%) complications in the observation group had no significant difference from that in the control group [postoperative fever (5.00%), anal pain (7.50%), bleeding (7.50%), and urinary retention (2.50%)] (all P>0.05). Two months after surgery, the rebleeding rate in the observation group (4.88%) was not significantly different from that in the control group (7.50%) ( P>0.05), but the rebleeding score in the observation group (1.21±0.63) was lower than that in the control group (2.62±0.71), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). The rebleeding rate (2.44%) and the rebleeding score (2.33±1.51) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group [the rebleeding rate (12.50%) and the rebleeding score (5.54±2.42)] at 12 months after follow-up, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Endoscopic sclerotherapy is effective in the treatment of grade II hemorrhagic internal hemorrhoids. There is no significant difference in the immediate and short-term hemostasis rate and the incidence of complications between two different dosage forms of sclerotherapy, namely, polycinnamol solution and foam, but the operation of the solution injection is more time-saving and the long-term recurrence rate is lower, which is worthy of clinical application.
