Objective To explore the management of perioperative period on the effect of alimentary tract fistulas after gastric cancer operation.Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with alimentary tract fistulas after gastric cancer operation were reviewed.The location and time of alimentary tract fistulas,and perioperative period of patients were analyzed.Results Of the 25 patients,13 cases(52.0%) were anastomotic fistulas,1 case(4.0%) was bile fistula,2 cases (8.0%) were pancreatic fistulas,4 cases (16.0%) were small intestinal fistulas,and 3 case (12.0%) were duodenal stump fistulas,1 case (4.0%) was anastomotic and duodenal stump fistula,1 case (4.0%) was small intestinal and duodenal stump fistula.The alimentary tract fistulas generally occurred within the first or second week after gastric cancer operation.The incidence rate of gastrointestinal leakage was 64.0% in gastric cancer with diabetes patients,56.0% in gastric cancer with elderly patients,40.0% in gastric cancer with anemia patients,36.0% in gastric cancer with hypoproteinemia patients,16.0% in gastric cancer with multivisceral excisions.21 cases of gastrointestinal leakage were healed after conservative treatment.2 cases with gastrointestinal leakage by operation treatment were healed.2 patients died,one died of intra-abdominal hemorrhage,one case died of MODF.Conclusion Strengthening the management of patients with alimentary tract fistulas after gastric cancer operation can promote the healing of fistula in perioperative period.

Background:
and Purpose Ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIA) are associated with a mortality rate of up to 40% in the Chinese population, highlighting the critical need for targeted treatment interventions for at-risk individuals. Although the impact of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene mutations on susceptibility to intracranial aneurysms (IA) is well documented, the potential connection between ALDH2 rs671 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and RIA remains unexplored. Given the increased prevalence of ALDH2 gene mutations among Chinese Han individuals, it is clinically relevant to investigate the link between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and IA rupture.
Methods:
A prospective study was conducted on 546 patients diagnosed with IA to investigate the association between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and the risk of IA rupture.
Results:
The ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*2) was significantly more prevalent in patients with unruptured IA (UIA) than in those with RIA (32.56% vs. 18.58%, P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that people with the ALDH2 mutation (ALDH2*1/*2 and ALDH2*2/*2 gene type) had a significantly reduced odds ratio (OR=0.49; 95% confidence level [CI] 0.27–0.88; P=0.018) for RIAs. Age-specific subgroup analysis indicated that the ALDH2 mutation provided a stronger protective effect in individuals aged 60 years and above with IA compared to those under 60 years old (OR=0.38 vs. OR=0.52, both P<0.05).
Conclusion
The incidence of RIA was significantly higher in individuals with a normal ALDH2 gene (ALDH2*1/*1) than in those with an ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*1/*2 or ALDH2*2/*2). ALDH2 rs671 SNP may serve as a protective factor against RIA in the Chinese Han population.
