Kyoto global consensus report on Helicobacter pylori gastritis (Gut, July 2015) is another important international consensus since the European Maastricht Ⅳ consensus was published. Kyoto consensus will improve the etiology-based classification, the diagnostic assessment of gastritis, and the treatment of H. pylori-associated dyspepsia and H. pylori gastritis. However, because of high rate of H. pylori infection and antibiotic resistance as well as limited health resources in China, we need to develop our own strategies of H. pylori infection control with the reference of the Kyoto global consensus.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) in Jiangxi Province.Methods From 2007 to 2012,the data of 2 625 hospitalized patients diagnosed as AP were retrospectively analyzed.The changes of composition in gender,age and etiology during 2007-2009 time period and 2010-2012 time period were compared.Mann Whitney U test was performed for non-normal distribution measurement data analysis and x2 test was for count data analysis.Results Among the 2 625 patients with AP,from 2007 to 2009 there were 1 028 cases and 1 597 cases in the period 2010 to 2012.The ages of the patients in these two period were 50(38,61) and 50 (40,63) years old,respectively.There was statistically significant difference in the age distribution between these two period (U=783 635.5,P＜0.05).Biliary factor was the most common cause of AP in the two time period 2007 to 2009 and 2010 to 2012,which accounted for 55.9％ (575/1 028) and 62.9％ (1 005/1 597),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (x2=12.778,P＜ 0.01).Alcoholic AP accounted for 1.9％ (19/1 028) and 7.3％ (117/1 597),respectively,hyperlipidemic AP were 14.0％ (144/1 028) and 17.7％ (283/1 597),and idiopathic AP were 22.0％ (226/1 028) and 5.9％ (94/1 597),all the differences were statistically significant (x2 =38.204,6.330 and 151.416,all P＜0.05).In male patients,biliary AP accounted for 52.4％ (732/1 398),which was lower than that of female patients (69.1％,848/1 227),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 ＝76.524,P＜0.01).Alcoholic AP and hyperlipidemic AP accounted for 9.0％ (126/1 398) and 21.4％ (299/1 398) in male patients,which were significantly higher than those of female patients (0.8％,10/1 227; 10.4％,128/1 227),and the differences were statistically significant (x2 89.396 and 57.585,both P＜0.01).Biliary AP accounted for 79.9％ (631/790) in elderly group,which was higher than that of non elderly group (51.7％,949/1 835),and the difference was statistically significant (x2＝182.720,P＜0.01).In elderly group hyperlipidemic AP and alcoholic AP accounted for 2.5％ (20/790) and 1.3％ (10/790),which were significantly lower than those of non-elderly group (22.2％,407/1 835; 6.9％,126/1 835),and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =156.524 and 35.262,both P＜0.01).Conclusions The middle-aged and elderly people are the vulnerable population of AP.Biliary factor is the most common cause of AP,especially in the female and elderly.The proportions of hyperlipidemic AP and alcoholic AP both significantly increase,in the male higher than that of the female and in the non-elderly higher than that of the elderly.The proportion of idiopathic AP significantly decreases.

Pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a serious complication of acute pancreatitis (AP), with a mortality reported to be as great as 32.0%. At present, it is considered that patients with proven or suspected infected necrotizing pancreatitis, invasive intervention (i.e. percutaneous catheter drainage, endoscopic transluminal drainage/ necrosectomy, minimally invasive or open necrosectomy) should be delayed where possible until at least 4 weeks after initial presentation to allow the collection to become 'walled-off'. With the development of endoscopic technology, endoscopic transmural (stomach or duodenum) drainage and necrosectomy has been recommended as one of the preferred methods for walled-off necrosis. This article introduces the diagnosis and evaluation of the walled-off necrosis ; the indications, operation procedures, postoperative evaluation and management of postoperative complications of endoscopic transmural drainage and necrosectomy. At last, the research progress of endoscopic drainage and debridement in recent years was introduced.

Objective To evaluate the safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for elder patients (age more than or equal to 80 years).Methods Data of 464 patients (age ≥ 80 years) who underwent ERCP procedures from June 2008 to June 2014 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were compared with those of patients less than or equal to 60 years old,randomly chosen at 1∶4,for comorbidity,feature of disease distribution,intraoperative situation and postoperative complications of ERCP.Results The comorbidity rates of coronary heart disease,hypertension,chronic pulmonary disease and type 2 diabetes in observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between two groups regarding to the comorbidity rate of arrhythmia(P =0.111).The main feature of disease distribution in two groups was choledocholithiasis,but the rate of malignant tumor in observation group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The success rate of ERCP showed no significant difference in two groups (98.92％ VS 99.35％,P=0.358).There was no significant difference between the two groups in the complication rates of acute pancreatitis (4.96％ VS 3.18％,P =0.064),infection (0.43％ VS 0.54％,P =1.000) and hemorrhage (1.08％ VS 0.59％,P=0.259).However the rate of perforation in observation group was lower than that in the control group (0.43％ VS 0.05％,P =0.043).Conclusion ERCP is safe and effective for elder patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of gastric stump ulcer (GSU)after partial gastrectomy due to gastroduodenal ulcer.Methods From January 1st 2007 to October 31th 2013,272 patients with partial gastrectomy for gastroduodenal ulcer underwent gastroscopy due to upper gastrointestinal symptoms were collected.Among them,there were 237 male patients and 35 female patients with the average age (55 .4 ± 13.0 )years.The lesion location,symptoms and pathological changes of GSU were analyzed.Chi-square test and Fisher exact probability analysis were used for count data comparison.The t test was performed for measurement data comparison.Results There was no significant difference between patients with GSU after Billroth Ⅰ gastrectomy and Billroth Ⅱ gastrectomy in the incidence of dysphagia,nausea and vomiting,retrosternal pain,retrosternal buring sensation,upper abdominal pain, abdominal distention, acid regurgitation and (or) epigastric buring sensation, hematemesis and (or)melena (all P >0.05 ).The proportion of ulcer located in remnant stomach and anastomotic stoma of patients with Billroth Ⅰ gastrectomy (24.7%,18/73 and 72.6%,53/73 )was higher than those of patients with Billroth Ⅱ gastrectomy (10.1 %,20/199 and 58.3%,116/199 )and the difference was statistically significant (OR=2.929 and 1 .896,95 %CI :1 .448 to 5 .927 and 1 .055 to 3.409,χ2 =9.482 and 4.649,P =0.002 and 0.031 ).There was no significant difference between the proportion of afferent loop and efferent loop ulcer in patients with Billroth Ⅱ gastrectomy and the proportion of duodenal ulcer in patients with Billroth Ⅰ gastrectomy (P =0.619).The diameter of GSU of patients with BillrothⅠ((1.1±0.7)cm)was larger than that of ulcer of patients with BillrothⅡ((0.8±0.6)cm) and the difference was statistically significant (t = 3.591 ,P = 0.007 ).The incidence of intestinal metaplasia and atypic hyperplasia of GSU was 8.1 % (22/272),and there was no significant difference in gastric ulcer,stoma ulcer,nek ulcer,afferent loop and efferent loop ulcer (all P >0.05).The incidence of gastric stump cancer of GSU was 4.0% (11/272)and that of gastric ulcer,stoma ulcer,nek ulcer,afferent loop and efferent loop ulcer was 13.2% (5/38 ),2.4% (4/169 ),1.8% (1/55 )and 1/10,respectively.The incidence of gastric stump cancer of gastric ulcer was significantly higher than that of stoma ulcer and nek ulcer, the differences were statistically significant (OR =6.250 and 8.182,95%CI :1.593 to 24.519 and 0.915 to 73.126,χ2 =8.687 and 4.788,P =0.012 and 0.040).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of gastric stump cancer of GSU in other gastric parts (all P > 0.05 ).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of intestinal metaplasia,atypic hyperplasia and gastric stump cancer between case with BillrothⅠgastrectomy and case with Billroth Ⅱ gastrectomy (P =0.650 and 0.733).Among the 11 gastric stump cancers,the number of cases with the onset time with 20 years,20-30 years and beyond 30 years after gastrectomy were one,three,seven,respectively.Conclusion The incidence of intestinal metaplasia, atypic hyperplasia and gastric stump cancer of patients with GSU was high,and the predilection site of GSU was the remnant stomach.

Objective To compare the discrepancy between the new (2012) and the old (1992) Atlanta classification criteria for defining severity, organ failure and local complications in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods Demographic, clinical and laboratory data of 2 305 consecutive AP patients with onset less than 3 days, were collected between January 2005 to December 2013 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University.Severity, organ failure and pancreatic local complications were respectively classified by the old Atlanta classification and the new revised Atlanta classification.Multi-factor scoring system and single serum marker were recorded and calculated using the acute pancreatitis database.Results In 2 305 patients with AP, there were 301 cases (13.1％) diagnosed with acute respiratory failure, 136 cases (5.9％) with shock, 105 cases (4.6％) with acute renal failure, 296 cases (12.8％) with gastrointestinal bleeding, based on the old Atlanta classification criteria.According to the severity, 900 cases (39.0％) were classified as mild acute pancreatitis (MAP), 1 405 cases (61.0％) as severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).However, based on the new Atlanta classification criteria, there were 686 cases (29.8％) with acute respiratory failure, 129 cases (5.6％) with acute renal failure, 107 cases (4.6％) with circulatory failure.Consequently, 998 cases (43.3％) were classified as MAP, 937 cases (40.7％) as moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP), 370 cases (16.1％) as SAP.The incidence of respiratory failure was lower than that of the old standard.In SAP patients by new criteria, the discharge rate in critical condition and mortality were not only higher than those in MSAP patients (17.0％ vs 4.1％, 4.1％ vs 1.5％, respectively , all P ＜ 0.001), but also higher than those in SAP patients by the old classification (17.0％ vs 7.2％ ,4.1％ vs 2.1％, all P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions The diagnostic criteria of organ failure are different between the new and old Atlanta classification.The SAP patients classified by the new standard have worse outcome than those by the old standard.More attention needs to be paid to critical patients stratified by the new standard.

Objective To evaluate the safety of anesthesia endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography (ERCP) under general anesthesia.Methods From January 1st,2008 to June 30th,2016,patients underwent ERCP under general anesthesia were enrolled as anesthesia group and from January 1st,2005 to December 31st,2007,patients accepted ERCP without anesthesia were enrolled as control group.Chi-square test was performed to analyze disease composition,conditions during operation,success rate of operation and complications in these two groups.Results A total of 14 724 patients with ERCP under general anesthesia and 2 102 patients received ERCP without anesthesia were enrolled.In 14 724 patients with ERCP under general anesthesia,1 799 cases had malignant biliary and pancreatic diseases and 12 925 cases with biliary and pancreatic diseases.During the operation,transient hypoxemia occurred in 441 cases (3.00％) and relieved by increasing oxygen flow,lower anesthetic dose or lifting lower jaw.The success rate of ERCP in the anesthesia group (98.41 ％,14 490/14 724) was higher than that in the control group (97.34％,2 046/2 102),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =11.500,P=0.001).The incidence rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis in the anesthesia group was 2.35％ (346/14 724),which was lower than that in the control group (3.85％,81/2 102),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =16.813,P＜0.01).Conclusion ERCP under general anesthesia is safe,which could increase the success rate of operation and reduce the incidence rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Objective To explore the normal values for two-dimension solid state high resolution anorectal manometry (HRAM) in healthy adult volunteers.Methods The healthy adult volunteers were recruited by advertisement and underwent solid state HRAM in the left lateral position.Anorectal pressures and rectal sensation were recorded and analyzed.Results (1) A total of 126 Chinese healthy adult volunteers (male:50 cases (39.7％);age:(37.5 ± 14.2) years old) were recruited in this study.(2)Mean anal resting pressure (MERP) was (71.8 ± 17.3) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa).Maximum anal resting pressure (MARP) was (79.3 ± 17.8) mmHg,Maximum anal squeeze pressure (MSP) was (178.7 ± 52.8) mmHg.Anal high pressure zone (HPZ) length was (3.4 ± 0.6) cm.During simulated evacuation,residual anal pressure (RAP) was (63.8 ±20.5) mmHg,and anal relaxation rate (ARR) was (37.0 ± 11.5) ％.Rectal threshold volume for first sensation (FST),desire to defecate (DDT),urgency to defecate (UDT) and maximum discomfort (MDT) was (47.4 ±10.0) ml,(84.5 ±18.2) ml,(125.8 ± 28.5) ml,and (175.5 ±36.1) ml,respectively.(3) Compared with female subjects,male subjects had higher MSP [(211.0 ± 50.7) mmHg vs (157.5 ± 42.5) mmHg],RAP [(71.6 ± 18.1) mmHg vs (58.8 ± 20.5) mmHg]and rectal MDT[(187.0 ±36.4) mmHg vs (168.0 ±34.1)mmHg],but lower ARR [(32.1 ±8.0)％ vs (40.2 ±12.3)％],all P＜0.01.(4) MERP,MARP,MSP and rectal MDT were higher in young group (≤ 40 years old),all P ＜ 0.05.Conclusions These observations provide normal values for two-dimension solid state HRAM,which have significant difference between genders and different age groups.

Objective: To investigate the associated factors and the independent risk factors for portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in cirrhotic patients and assess the influences of anticoagulation on esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) in these patients. Methods: From January 2012 to December 2012, 239 cirrhotic patients were diagnosed in our hospital. According to the presence or absence of portal vein thrombosis (PVT), they were divided into thrombus group (33 cases) and control group (206 cases). According to the presence or absence of EGVB in thrombus group, they were divided into bleeding group (10 cases) and non bleeding group (23 cases). According to whether anticoagulant therapy was used in thrombus group, they were divided into anticoagulant group (10 cases) and non anticoagulant group (23 cases). The risk factors of each group and its control group were observed and compared. Results: The thrombus group had a lower level of the albumin (ALB) , higher level of count of platelet (PLT), diameter of main portal vein (MPV), propotion of diabetes prevalence and history of splenectomy compared with the control group (P<0.01). According to unconditional logistic regression analysis, both the PLT and the diameter of MPV were identified as independent risk factors for PVT in cirrhotic patients (P=0.009, 0.001; OR=1.006, 16.858). There were significant differences in the degree of varicose veins and the proportion of sequential endoscopic treatment between the bleeding group and the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, the group treated with anticoagulant drugs and the group without anticoagulation were followed up and observed for 1 year, which showed no significant changes in the bleeding ratio between two groups [40% (4/10) versus 26.1% (6/23), P>0.05]. Conclusions ⑴ PLT, ALB, MPV, and a history of diabetes or splenectomy are risk factors for cirrhosis combined with PVT, and PLT and MPV are independent risk factors. ⑵ The incidence of EGVB increased with the increasing severity of esophagogastric varicose vein. The endoscopic variceal sequential treatment can contribute a significant reduction of EGVB in cirrhosis complicated by PVT. ⑶ Anticoagulant therapy may not raise the incidence of EGVB in cirrhotic patients with PVT.
