Diabetes mellitus( DM)affects almost the whole digestive tract. Approximately 75% of the diabetic patients suffer from gastrointestinal motility disorders. The precise mechanism of diabetic gastrointestinal motility disorders is not fully clear. Its pathogenesis is considered to be multifactorial and related with autonomic neuropathy,smooth muscle myopathy and lesions of interstitial cells of Cajal. Advanced glycation end products( AGEs ) are derived from the nonenzymatic reaction of glucose with proteins,lipids or nucleic acids in vivo. Hyperglycemia in DM is a favourite for formation of AGEs, and excessive accumulation of AGEs contributes to the complications of DM such as diabetic nephropathy and diabetic vascular lesions. However,the correlation of AGEs with diabetic gastrointestinal motility disorders is seldom reported. In this review article,the roles and possible mechanisms of AGEs in diabetic gastrointestinal motility were summarized.

Purpose:To investigate the cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) expression in gastric carcinoma and investigate the effects of COX-2 expression on P-glycoprotein. Methods:The expression of COX-2 and P-glycoprotein was examined by immunohistochemical staining in 48 cases of gastric carcinoma and 10 cases of normal gastric tissues. Results:There was no positive signal of COX-2 detected in normal gastric tissue. The positive expression rate of COX-2 was 60.4 %(29/48) in gastric carcinoma. The expression of COX-2 was correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P

Objective To investigate the expression of doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) in colorectal cancer and colorectal adenomas,and it's role in the development and progression of colorectal carcinoma,and explore the relationship of the DCLK1 expression and prognosis in colorectal cancer patients with diabetes medical history.Methods Expression of DCLK1 in 70 cases of colorectal cancers,70 cases of para-carcinoma tissues,and 35 cases of tubulovillous adenomas were detected by immunohistochemical method.Results (1) The DCLK1 high expression rate in colorectal cancers was 41.4％ (29/70),and 45.7％ (16/35) in tubular villous adenomas,both significantly higher than the para-carcinoma tissues (4.3％;3/70) (P ＜0.01).(2) DCLK1 high positive expression had statistical significance with pathological grading (P ＜ 0.01),infiltration depth (P ＜ 0.05),lymph node metastasis (P＜ 0.05),vascular invasion (P ＜0.05),and distant metastasis (P ＜0.01).(3) There was no obvious correlation between the Diabetes medical history,expression of DCLK1,and prognosis of patients.Conclusions DCLK1 has high positive expression in colorectal carcinomas,and may have certain significance for the early clinical diagnosis and prognostic judgment of colorectal cancers.The expression of DCLK1 and prognosis of colorectal cancers has no obvious correlation with diabetes medical history.

Objective To explore the clinical diagnostic value of narrow-band imaging combined with magnification chromoendoscopy for suspicious neoplasia lesions of early gastric cancer.Methods A total of 115 patients which had been diagnosed as having suspicious lesions byconventional endoscopy were enrolled from Jan.2010 to Dec.2012.They were observed by magnifying endoscopy(C-WLI), magnifying endoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI), magnification chromoendoscopy and magnification chromoendoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging, respectively.The lesion outline sharpness, opening of the gland sharpness and microvascular morphology sharpness were recorded and the subtypes of opening of the gland and microvascular morphology were compared.The histological examination was performed on the most significant changes in lesion site and the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the four procedures were calculated.Results The score of outline sharpness was 377 and the score of pit sharpness was 458 by magnification chromoendoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging, higher than those of ME-NBI (340 and 408 respectively) and magnification chromoendoscopy (354 and 386 respectively) (P ＜ 0.05), significantly higher than those of C-WLI (276 and 280 respectively) (P ＜ 0.01).The score of microvascular morphology sharpness was 380 by magnification chromoendoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging,higher than that of ME-NBI (348, P ＜ 0.05), C-WLI (267, P ＜ 0.01) and magnification chromoendoscopy (280, P ＜ 0.01).The detection rate of C type by magnification chromoendoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging was higher than that by magnification chromoendoscopy (93.0％ VS 79.7％, P ＜ 0.05).The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of magnification chromoendoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging was 92.17％, 88.33％ ,96.36％ respectively.Conclusion Narrow-band imaging endoscopy combined with pigment amplification can yield more clear image of the microvascular morphology and opening of the gland, significantly improve the lesion detection rate, reduce the missing rate, and is worthy of further clinical observation and promotion.

Objective To evalute and compare the efficacy and safety of epinephrine-saline submu-cosal injection of different concentrations on endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD),and to discuss the best concentration of submucosal injection.Methods A total of 128 patients who underwent ESD were ran-domly assigned to submucosal normal saline injection group (group A,n =32),0.001% epinephrine-saline injection group (group B,n =32),0.002% epinephrine-saline injection group (group C,n =32),and 0.004% epinephrine-saline injection group (group D,n =32).The incidence of bleeding during and after ESD were counted,the blood preasure and heart rate of preoperative and intraoperative,the amount of sub-mucosal injection,the time of operation were observed.Results ESD was successfully performed on all pa-tients.There were no difference in highest blood preasure and fastest heart rate between preoperative and in-traoperative results of each group.No perforation or intraoperative acute massive bleeding occurred.Intraop-erative acute minimal bleeding during ESD occurred in 9 patients in group A and 3 in group B,2 in group C and 2 in group D (P <0.05),but there were no differences among group B,C and D.The amount of submu-cosal injection of group A was(39.5 ±10.8)ml,which was more than that of group B(29.4 ±9.4)ml,group C(27.3 ±8.2)ml and group D(20.4 ±11.8)ml with significant difference.There were no differences a-mong group B,C and D,but there was less in group D than group B.The operation time of group A was(82.3 ±24.78 minutes),which was longer than that of group B (60.7 ±25.35minutes),group C (54.7 ± 31.72minutes)and group D(59.2 ±28.49 minutes),but there was no difference among B,C and D group. Conclusion Epinephrine-saline submucosal injection assiting ESD is safe and effective and reduces the op-eration time and bleeding than normal saline.The increase of the epinephrine-saline concentrations has not been found to be more beneficial.

Objective To investigate the impact of pancreatic duct stenting as a preventive measure for post-ERCP pancreatitis in patients with repeatedly non-selective pancreatic duct cannulation.Methods Clinical data of 64 patients with biliary tract disease from January 2008 to December 2015 was prospective analyzed. All the patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group. Patients in observation group received pancreatic stent placement, while patients in control group was not received pancreatic stent placement and nasal duct. Postoperative monitoring items included abdominal pain, blood amylase. Then record and compare the incidence of acute pancreatitis, pancreatitis severity rating, abdominal pain score, Ranson score, amylase recovery time between the two groups.Results Observation group had ifve cases of PEP, the rate was 15.6 %, including mild four cases (12.5 %), medium one case (3.1 %); the control group had 13 cases of PEP, the rate was 40.6 %, including mild six cases (18.8 %), medium four cases (12.5 %), severe three cases (9.4 %). PEP observation group was signiifcantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05). Mild, medium and severe PEP were lower than the control group, in which the severe PEP was signiifcantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05). Ranson score of the observation group was (1.2 ± 0.4), significantly lower than the control group (2.5 ± 1.2) (P < 0.05); the observation group amylase average recovery time was (3.0 ± 0.6) d, it is also signiifcantly lower than the control group (5.8 ± 1.4) d (P < 0.01). No bleeding and perforation complications occurred.Conclusion Pancreatic stenting can effectively prevent the incidence of PEP, reduce postoperative pain, improve patient recovery.

Endoscopic ultrasonography has been widely used in the diagnosis of digestive system disease,and has great important diagnostic significance in the differential diagnosis of the upper gastrointestinal mucosa or submucosal lesions,as well as to distinguish the gastrointestinal intracavitary and extracavitary lesions.At the same time,EUS can more accurately judge the depth of tumor invasion and the surrounding lymph node metastasis,which has great value in the preoperative TNM staging of esophageal cancer and gastriccancer,the judgment of resectability and the prognosis.We summarized the result of EUS in the upper gastrointestinal disease in our hospital.

[ ABSTRACT] Interstitial cells of Cajal ( ICC) is the pacemaker in the gastrointestinal tract , which is closely as-sociated with the formation of slow wave and the regulation of gastrointestinal motility .As the pacemaker of gastrointestinal tract, the activation of pacing signal is triggered by the local calcium oscillation in the ICC .The change of calcium concen-tration can activate many relevant ion channels , such as NSCC, ANO1, VGCC, HCN channels and potassium channels , which can generate a large number of pacing current to form the slow wave and then propagated by the gap junction between the ICC networks and smooth muscle cells to make the peristalsis of gastrointestinal tract in autonomic rhythm .However, the mechanism of these ion channels in the pacemaker activity is still unclear , so we refer to make a review about the re-search progress on these pacemaker channels in this article to illuminate the mechanism of pacemaker activity in ICC .
