Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of application of anterograde flexible ureteroscope in the treatment of ureterointestinal anastomotic strictures in patients after Bricker urinary diversion. Methods From March 2009 to July 2012, 6 patients with ureterointestinal anastomotic strictures after Bricker procedure were enrolled in this study. The average age of the patients was (61 ±7) years old. The first clinical presentation was averagely (6.3 ±2.5) months after the Bricker procedure. There were 4 cases with left side strictures and 2 cases with right side ones. The urinary tract ultrasound, CT, KUB+IVP and antegrade urography were carried out to identify the obstructive portion. The mean length of stricture was 0.9cm (0.4~2.5) . First, all patients underwent percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN), then inside incision by Holmium:YAG laser under anterograde flexible ureteroscopy and lithotripsy (with calculi) . The F6 double J ureteral stent was indwelled for 12 weeks. KUB+IVP was performed after removal of double J ureteral stents. Results The mean operative time was (53±8) min. The mean hospital stay was (5.5±2) days. The blood loss was 3~6 mL. The average follow-up was 18 months (6~30) . No recurrence was found in 5 patients. One case had recurrent stricture after the first procedure, which was successfully managed by the flexible ureteroscopy again and replacing double J ureteral stent every 12 months. Conclusion The inside incision by anterograde flexible ureteroscopic Holmium:YAG laser is safe and effective for ureterointestinal anastomotic strictures in patients after Bricker urinary diversion, with less complications.

With the development of modern sequencing techniques and bioinformatics, genomes that were once thought to be noncoding have been found to encode abundant functional micropeptides (miPs), a kind of small polypeptides. Although miPs are difficult to analyze and identify, a number of studies have begun to focus on them. More and more miPs have been revealed as essential for energy metabolism homeostasis, immune regulation, and tumor growth and development. Many reports have shown that miPs are especially essential for regulating glucose and lipid metabolism and regulating mitochondrial function. MiPs are also involved in the progression of related diseases. This paper reviews the sources and identification of miPs, as well as the functional significance of miPs for metabolism-related diseases, with the aim of revealing their potential clinical applications.

Objective:To preliminarily understand the living habits, medication taking and treatment status including the therapeutic regimen, compliance and short-term efficacy of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and erosion in Beijing area.Methods:From April to September in 2019 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Peking University Third Hospital and Peking University Shougang Hospital, the outpatients with chronic atrophic gastritis and erosion diagnosed with endoscopy within two weeks before visiting were prospectively included in this non-interventional observation study. Chi square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 277 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and erosion had complete follow-up data, of which male patients accounted for 49.8% (138/277). The common initial symptoms of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and erosion included acid reflux, abdominal distension, epigastric pain and postprandial distension, which accounted for 60.3% (167/277), 59.6% (165/277) , 58.8% (163/277) and 52.3% (145/277), respectively. For treatment, 36.8% (102/277) of the patients only received lifestyle instruction without medication. Among the patients with medication treatment, the short-term efficacy of gastric mucosal protectants+ proton pump inhibitor+ gastro-kinetic agent for abnominal distension, postprandial distention, acid reflux and nausea was highest as compared with other therapeutic regimen, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=25.18, 19.49, 13.75, 8.84, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Chronic gastritis with erosion may be caused by a combination of multiple factors, and the symptoms of which lack specific. If necessary, gastroscopy may help the diagnosis. Individualized treatment strategies based on the symptoms of patients is needed for treatment.
