Objective To study the causes of local recurrence,and diagnosis and treatment outcome of recurrent colorectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 60 patients with recurrent colorectal cancer treated during 10 years in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among the 60 cases,40 cases(66.7 %) had recurrence within 2 years after operation.Recurrence in anastomotic stoma,perineum,abdominal incision occurred and in the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity in 15,10,7 and 20 cases respectively,and liver metastases were found in 8 cases.All patients underwent reoperation including curative surgery for 38 patients and palliative operation for 22 patients.After radical reoperation the 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rate was 93.6 %,48.8 %,and 36.3 %,respectively,and after palliative reoperation was 54.5 %,0 %,and 0 %,respectively.Conclusions Emphasizing the application of no-tumor touch technique,resection of adequate amount of bowel,performing complete lymphadenectomy and removal of micrometastatic lesions are the major measures to prevent recurrence of rectal cancer after operation.Integrative therapy regimens,of which surgical treatment is the major component,should be considered according to the location of recurrence and the clinical staging of the recurrent cases.

Objective To analyze the clinical diagnosis and treatment of recurrent cancer in gastric remnant.Methods Clinical data of 48 patients who underwent surgical re-operation because of recurrent carcinoma within gastric remnant after radical resection of gastric cancer were analyzed retrospectively.Results All 48 cases were recurrent cancer in gastric stump.The time of recurrence was 6-36 months after first radical resection.After reoperation,the mean survival time of 28 patients(58.3%)who underwent radical resection was 40 months;the mean survival time of 20 patients(41.7%)who received palliative treatment was 14.8 months(P

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of serum long non-coding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 16(lncRNA SNHG16)and mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4(SMAD4)in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and pulmonary infection(PI).Methods A total of 237 elderly COPD patients admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were enrolled in the study.Among them,117 patients with concomitant PI were classified as the concur-rent group,and 120 patients without concomitant PI were classified as the COPD group.Real-time fluores-cence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was applied to detect the expression level of serum lncRNA SNHG16 in two groups.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was applied to detect the lev-el of SMAD4 in patients'serum.Simplified clinical pulmonary infection scale(sCPIS)was used to evaluate the degree of PI of patients in the concurrent group.Multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the in-fluencing factors of PI in elderly COPD patients.Correlation between serum lncRNA SNHG16,SMAD4 levels and sCPIS in elderly COPD patients with PI was analyzed by using Spearman correlation analysis.Receiver op-erating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic value of serum lncRNA SNHG16 and SMAD4 levels in elderly COPD patients with PI.Results The serum relative expression level of lncRNA SNHG16 in the concurrent group was higher than that in the COPD group,but the serum SMAD4 level was lower than that in the COPD group(P<0.05).In addition,the proportions of patients with age≥70 years,smoking history,complicated with diabetes and COPD course≥5 years and the levels of tumor necrosis fac-tor-α(TNF-α),interferon-γ(INF-γ)in the concurrent group were higher than those in the COPD group,and FEV1/FVC and the level of interleukin-10(IL-10)in concurrent group were lower than those in COPD group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that age≥70 years old,complicated with diabetes,COPD course≥5 years,high levels of TNF-α,INF-γ and lncRNA SNHG16 were risk factors for elderly patients with COPD complicated with PI(P<0.05),but high FEV1/FVC and high levels of SMAD4 and IL-10 were protective factors(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum relative expression level of ln-cRNA SNHG16 was positively correlated with sCPIS in COPD patients with PI(r=0.505,P<0.001),while SMAD4 level was negatively correlated with sCPIS(r=-0.550,P<0.001).The area under the curve(AUC)of the combined diagnosis of serum lncRNA SNHG16 and SMAD4 for PI in elderly COPD patients was higher than those of individual diagnosis(Z=2.416,P=0.016;Z=2.375,P=0.018).Conclusion The serum relative expression level of lncRNA SNHG16 increases and SMAD4 level decreases in elderly COPD pa-tients with PI,both are influencing factors for elderly COPD patients complicated with PI,and both are related to the degree of PI in patients,and both have diagnostic value for elderly COPD patients complicated with PI,and the diagnostic efficacy of combined detection is better.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between regional coronary flow reserve (CFR) obtained from cadmium-zinc-telluride SPECT(CZT SPECT) myocardial functional perfusion imaging (MFPI) and invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) measured during coronary angiography (CAG) and its clinical value in guiding coronary interventions.Methods:Forty-two patients (30 males, 12 females, age (63.3±9.8) years) who completed CZT SPECT MFPI in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2022 to September 2022 and underwent CAG within 3 months were included retrospectively. The concordance of CFR and FFR for diagnosing myocardial ischemia (CFR<2.0 and FFR<0.8) was calculated at the vascular level. The diagnostic efficacy of coronary stenosis≥70% for decreased myocardial blood flow (CFR<2.0) was calculated. Kappa test was used to analyze the data. Results:A total of 126 major coronary arteries were identified in 42 patients, of which 30(23.8%) had a CFR<2.0 by CZT SPECT and 33(26.2%) had stenosis≥70% in CAG. A total of 32 coronary vessels were performed with MFPI CFR and FFR measurements, of which 6 were both decreased and 21 were both normal, so the concordance rate was 84.4%(27/32)( Kappa=0.612, P<0.001). Among 33 coronary vessels with stenosis≥70%, 13 were with CFR≥2.0. Among 30 coronary vessels with CFR<2.0, 10 were with stenosis<70%. When using stenosis≥70% to diagnose CFR decreasing, the sensitivity was 66.7%(20/30), specificity was 86.5%(83/96), positive predictive value was 60.6%(20/33), negative predictive value was 89.2%(83/93), and accuracy was 81.7%(103/126). Conclusions:The concordance between CFR and FFR for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia is good. Nearly 1/3 of the coronary arteries with decreased CFR have stenosis<70%, whereas nearly 40% of the coronary arteries with stenosis≥70% are not result in myocardial ischemia. Regional CFR determined by CZT SPECT may have potentially significant clinical value in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease and decision-making of coronary intervention.
