Objective:To compare the value of new gastric cancer screening scoring system and serum pepsinogen (PG) combined with gastrin-17 (G-17) (new ABC method) in screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions.Methods:A total of 576 patients were enrolled after the examination of endoscopy at Endoscopy Center,Department of Gastroenterology,from December 2017 to December 2019. There were 275 males and 301 females with an age of 40-72 (52±10) years. According to the new ABC method and the new gastric cancer screening scoring system, the population was divided into three groups according to age,gender,serum helicobacter pylori antibody test, PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ(PGR) and G-17 before endoscopy. The detection rates of gastric cancer and atrophic gastritis by two different methods were analyzed and the value in screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions were evaluated. Statistical analysis was accomplished by Chi-square test and Gamma coefficient analysis. Results:A total of 576 patients were enrolled. According to the new ABC method, 382 patients were classified into low-risk group, 170 patients into middle-risk group and 24 patients into high-risk group, respectively. In the new ABC method, 1 case of gastric cancer (0.3%) was detected in low-risk group, 8 cases (4.7%) in middle-risk group and 3 cases (12.5%) in high-risk group. As for atrophic gastritis, 89 cases (23.3%) was detected in low-risk group, 94 cases (55.3%) in middle-risk group and 18 cases (75.0%) in high-risk group. According to the new gastric cancer screening scoring system, 336 patients were classified into low-risk group, 205 patients into middle-risk group and 35 patients into high-risk group, respectively. One case of gastric cancer (0.3%) was detected in low-risk group, 6 cases (2.9%) in middle-risk group and 5 cases (14.3%) in high-risk group. As for atrophic gastritis, 41 cases (12.2%) were detected in low-risk group, 134 cases (65.4%) in middle-risk group and 26 cases (74.3%) in high-risk group. In this two methods, the prevalence of gastric cancer increased according to the disease stage ( χ2 =22.509, P<0.01; χ2=24.156, P<0.01); in terms of atrophic gastritis, the detection rate of the new screening scoring system in the low-risk group was significantly lower than that in the new ABC method ( χ2=14.844, P<0.01), but higher in the middle-risk group ( χ2=3.955, P=0.047). Gamma coefficient test showed that there were strong correlations between gastroscopy pathology and classification grade of both methods ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Both methods are suitable for screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions, and the new scoring system may be more valuable in screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions.

Objective:To evaluate the new scoring system for gastric cancer screening and risk assessment of gastric precancerous lesions.Methods:A total of 442 patients who underwent endoscopy due to stomach discomfort at the First Hospital of Jiaxing from March 2018 to September 2019 were enrolled. The patients were divided into three groups based on the new scoring system for gastric cancer screening before endoscopy: low-risk group (0-11 points), median-risk group (12-16 points) and high-risk group (17-23 points). The detection rates of gastric cancer and atrophic gastritis in three groups were analyzed. According to the range or degree of atrophy or intestinal metaplasia, patients were divided into five groups of stage 0 to Ⅳ based on the operative link for gastritis assessment (OLGA) or operative link for gastritis intestinal metaplasia (OLGIM). The correlation between the new gastric cancer screening scoring system and OLGA or OLGIM staging system were evaluated.Results:Among 442 patients, 211 were assigned to low-risk group, 207 median-risk group and 24 high-risk group according to the new scoring system. For OLGA staging system, there were 241 cases of stage-0, 105 of stage-Ⅰ, 58 stage-Ⅱ, 27 stage-Ⅲ and 11 stage-Ⅳ. For OLGIM staging system, there were 224 cases of stage-0, 113 stage-Ⅰ, 61 stage-Ⅱ, 31 stage-Ⅲ and 13 stage-Ⅳ. The pepsinogen (PG) Ⅰ and pepsinogen ratio (PGR) levels had differences among different OLGA stages ( F=2.844, P=0.027; F=5.435, P=0.001), and these two variables at Stage-Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly lower than three other OLGA stages (all P<0.001). The PGR level had differences among different OLGIM stages ( F=3.887, P=0.008), which was significantly lower at Stage-Ⅳ than at other OLGIM stages (all P<0.001). Gamma coefficient analysis and Kendall′s tau-b analysis showed significant correlations between OLGA/OLGIM staging system and new gastric cancer screening scoring system ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The new scoring system is reliable for gastric cancer screening, and is closely linked with OLGA/OLGIM staging system in the risk assessment of gastric precancerous lesions.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of simple ligation and resection of the tumor involved inferior vena cava (IVC) without reconstruction during the resection of huge intraabdominal tumors.Methods From 2008 to 2011,4 cases of giant tumor encroaching on inferior vena cava underwent resection without IVC reconstruction.After resection,renal vein was not obstructed in patient 1 and 2.Tumor invaded the third patient's retrohepatic inferior vena cava,anastomosis was performed between the left hepatic vein and the opening of atrium dextrum with artificial vascular graft.The forth patient had right trisegmentectomy of the liver with retrohepatic inferior vena cava resection,anastomosis was performed between the left hepatic vein and the remaining inferior vena cava.Results All 4 patients had a successful operation without intraoperative massive bleeding and death.The postoperative complications included edema in one patient whose collateral circulation was damaged and bile leak in one.Ewin sarcoma patient died of tumor recurrence after a year,but there was no sign of poor renal function and other complications.Ligament fibroma patient had lower limb edema for a long time after the surgery,and tumor relapse for the fourth time in two years following resection.Conclusions When a giant tumor involving and invading IVC,undergoing resection,under the condition that the collateral circulations around IVC established completely,resection and ligation of the inferior vena cava along with huge tumor without IVC reconstruction is safe.This method saves operation time,increases the safety of surgery.

Objective To construct a prokaryotic expression system for major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰ chain-related gene B ( MICB) and to establish an ELISA method for the detection of anti-MICB antibodies in patients with kidney transplantation. Methods The MICB cDNA fragments were ob-tained by RT-PCR with a pair of specific primers. The MICB cDNA and the prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a were digested by two restriction enzymes and ligated to construct the recombinant expression plas-mid pET-28a-MICB. The transformed E. coli BL21 DE3 strains carrying recombinant expression plasmid were induced by IPTG to express MICB protein. The expressed recombinant proteins were identified by Western blot assay and purified by Ni-NTA Spin column. The purified proteins were coupled to ELISA for the detection of anti-MICB antibodies in patients with kidney transplantation. Results Three common MICB fragments contained the exons 2 and 3 were obtained. The recombinant proteins were expressed in E. coli BL21 DE3 strains carrying pET-28a-MICB and successfully purified by the Ni-NTA Spin column. Results of the Western blot assay confirmed that the obtained proteins were the target proteins. The ELISA method was successfully established and used for the detection of anti-MICB antibodies in 24 patients with kidney trans-plantation. The absorbance values indicated that the sensitivities of three recombinant MICB proteins were different. Conclusion The expression system for MICB gene was successfully constructed. The established ELISA for the detection of anti-MICB antibodies would pave the way for further investigation on the correla-tions between MICB protein and transplantation immunity.

Objective To investigate the predictors of deep remission in patients with Crohn′s disease (CD)treated with infliximab.Methods From February 2008 to February 2015 ,the clinical, laboratory and follow up data of 44 CD patients who received infliximab treatment and maintained clinical remission over six months were retrospectively analyzed.Mucosal healing was defined as no ulcer under endoscopy.Deep remission was defined as clinical remission with mucosal healing.According to results of endoscopy examination,the enrolled patients were divided into deep remission group and non-deep remission group.T test or Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for comparison of measurement data between groups,and chi square test was performed for the rate comparison.Multivariate analysis was made with Logistic regression.Results Median age of 44 patients was 19.5 yeares,39 males (88.6%),five females (11 .4%),and the median disease duration was 35 .0 months (18.5 to 73.5 months).Deep remission was achieved in 20 CD patients with long-time follow-up (median follow-up time 19 months,12 to 29 months). The mean duration of achieving deep remission was (28.9 ± 14.3 )weeks.There was no statistically significant difference between 20 patients with deep remission and 24 patients without deep remission in age of onset,disease duration,smoking status,Montreal phenotype,concurrent medications (mesalazine, steroids and azathioprine ), as well as body mass index (BMI ) and laboratory tests (erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP),hemoglobin (Hb)and platelet (PLT)count)before administrating.The results of Logistic regression demonstrated that extraintestinal manifestations (arthralgia)(odds ratio (OR)=29.9,95 % confidence interval (CI )1 .26 -714.20,P =0.036),normalization of hs CRP at 14 th week after induced remission (OR=0.88,95 %CI 0.78-0.99, P =0.045)and thrombocytopenia (OR = 0.98,95 %CI 0.96 - 0.99,P = 0.016 )were independent predictive factors of deep remission.Conclusions Infliximab could effectively maintain long term deep remission in treatment of CD.Arthralgia,normalization of hsCRP and PLT counts at 14 th week after induced remission are predictive factor of deep remission.

Objective The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical value of CT angiography( CTA) in the diagnosis of multiple intracranial aneurysms.Methods The data of CTA and DSA from 74 patients with multiple intracra-nial aneurysms from July 2011 to March 2015 were reviewed retrospectively.Results One hundred seventy-seven aneu-rysms were detected by DSA, and 175 aneurysms were detected by CTA.Among the aneurysms identified by CTA, 4 aneu-rysms were false positive and the correct detection rate of CTA was 96.6%.One hundred sixty-five aneurysms identified by CTA were confirmed by DSA and the correct diagnostic rate of CTA was 96.5%.CTA failed to detect 6 aneurysms and mis-diagnosed 10 aneurysms.Conclusions The correct detection rate and diagnostic rate of CT angiography ( CTA) in multiple intracranial aneurysms is relatively high.But previous surgery, spasm of the vessels, the size and number of aneurysms, radiologists'experience can influence the accuracy of ( CTA) in the diagnosis of multiple intracranial aneurysms, indicating that we should combine CTA with DSA to avoid the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
