Objective To explore the feasibility of home-based fecal occult blood self-test (home FOBTself-test) in the community colorectal cancer (CRC) screening,thereby to improve the community's compliance with colorectal cancer screening.Method Community medical staff and residents in Dongcheng District was recruited by means of self-reported questionnaires about personal wishes for home FOBT self-test screening since August 2013 to January 2014.Finally,using x2 test and logistic regression analysis to analyze the results of the final questionnaire.Of the total of 6,147 copies of the questionnaire,5 943 copies were valid questionnaires (Community medical staff:resident=114:5 829).Results 88.6％ of community medical staff and 69.1％ of community residents expressed willingness to choose home self-test FOBT.Univariate analysis showed that wishes of community medical staff for FOBT screening were unrelated with gender (P=0.635),age (P=1.000),CRC high-risk or not (P=0.418),awareness of home self-test FOBT(P=0.693).The wishes of community residents for FOBT screening related with gender (P=0.012),age (P=0.000),CRC high-risk or not (P=0.000),awareness of home self-test FOBT (P=0.000).Colorectal cancer risk was the greatest impact on wishes for FOBT screening (OR 值 (95％ CI) =8.594 (7.279-10.148)).Conclusions Home FOBT self-test was simple,fast,easy to use and widely accepted in CRC screening of community residents,therefore it may improve the community's compliance with colorectal cancer screening.Screening for CRC is strongly recommended.

Objective To evaluate the effect of various methods of fecal exfoliated cell testing for screening of colorectal cancer.Methods The stool samples from 814 patients who underwent colonoscopy were collected for fecal exfoliated cell testing using diarrhea feces,twice naturally evacuated feces,magnetic separation or naturally evacuated combined with diarrhea feces.The fecal exfoliated cells were isolated and examined cytologically.The DNA quantitative analysis and gene detection were carried out.Fecal occult blood test was simultaneously performed in twice naturally evacuated feces and naturally evacuated combined with diarrhea feces.Results The sensitivity and specificity of exfoliated cells testing for colorectal Cancer was 66.27%(112 of 169 cases of colorectal cancer)and 99.56%(225 of 226 normal subjects),respectively.There was no correlation of positive rate with differentiations of colorectal cells or Duke's stages(P＞0.05).The nuclear DNA quantitative analysis showed that the sensitivity for detecting cancer was 76.09%for twice naturally evacuated feces and 68.29%for naturally evacuated combined with diarrhea feces,which was superior than diarrhea feces(26.31%)and magnetic separation (43.24%).The positive rate of genes detected in carcinoma tissues concordant with fecal exfoliated cells testing were 83.33%(25/30)for p53,9/10 for APC and 9/10 for K-ras.The sensitivity of cytology was higher than gene detection.The sensitivity of cancer detection was higher in combining exfoliated cells test with fecal occult blood test(93.10%)than exfoliated cells test(73.56%)or fecal occult blood test (80.46%)alone(P＜0.05).Conclusions Fecal exfoliated cells test is an effective method for screening of colorectal cancer.It is the best option for detecting cancer by twice tests of fecal exfoliated cells with liquid-based thin-layer cytological test,and combined with fecal occult blood test.

Objective To identify clinicopathological features of high MSI (MSI-H).Methods We enrolled 150 patients,standard microsatellite loci (BA T25,BA T26,D2S123,D5S346,D17S250) were amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) with fluorescent primers,and the PCR products were analyzed by GeneMapper software;age at diagnosis,gender and site were obtained;various pathological features were observed by light microscopy;the expression of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (CD4~+ and CD8~+) was detected by immunohistochemistry.Using a stepwise logistic regression model,a formula was generated that could be used to calculate the probability of a colorectal carcinoma being MSI-H based on pathological features.Results Among 150 cancers,MSI-H was 13.33%.Independent identifiers inclucle poor differentiation,histologic heterogeneity,Crohn's-like reaction and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes,logistic regression formula shows a sensitivity of 70.0% and a specificity of 99.2% and a accurate ratio of 95.3% for MSI-H.Conclusion MSI-H phenotype cancer is a type of nonfamilial colorectal cancer with specific pathological features,Clinicopathological features can efficiently identify MSI-H colorectal cancers.

Objective To retrospectively analyze medical data of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) so as to provide evidence for clinical use of opportunistic screening.Methods A total of 2450 CRC patients (male 1377,female 1073) who were treated at five hospitals in North China during October 2001 and September 2011 and had complete medical records and pathological results were recruited.The correlations of incidenceofCRCwithage,gender,tumorlocationandhistologicaltypeswere analyzed.Results Of all the CRC patients,those less than 50 years old accounted for 18.14％ ; and the incidence of CRC was substantially increased in those over 50 years old.Seventy-three percent of tumor occurred at the rectum and sigmoid colon,6％ at descending colon,7％ at transverse colon and 14％ at ascending colon.Moderately,well or poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma accounted for 50.33％,40.35％and 9.32％,respectively.Histological differentiation was not correlated with age and gender ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions Age and gender should not be considered a determination of opportunistic screening for CRC.Colonoscopy is recommended as an alternative CRC screening procedure.

Objective:To explore the value of the static and dynamic pelvic floor MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in evaluating the morphology and function of urethra in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods:From July 2020 to February 2021, a total of 28 patients with SUI and 45 age-matched healthy controls were prospectively collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The static and dynamic pelvic floor MRI and DTI were performed for all subjects. The thickness of internal and external sphincter of middle urethra were measured on static MRI images. The functional urethral length (FUL) was measured both on static and maximal strain phase of dynamic MRI images, then the difference of FUL was calculated. The presence of bladder neck funneling and urethra opening were observed on static and dynamic MRI. The muscle fiber bundle image of urethral sphincter complex was obtained by post-processing of DTI original images. The anisotropy fraction (FA), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and three eigenvalues (λ1, λ2, λ3) of annular sphincter and central longitudinal muscle in middle urethra were measured. The independent sample t test and chi-square test were used to analyse the difference of measured parameters in MRI, parameters of DTI and imaging signs between the two groups. Results:Compared with healthy controls, the SUI patients showed that the thickness of external sphincter in middle urethral and FUL in static status and maximal strain phase were significantly decreased ( t=-3.95, -5.72, -8.41, all P<0.001), the difference of FUL between static status and maximal strain phase was significantly increased ( t=4.41, P<0.001). The positive rate of bladder neck funneling in static status and maximal strain phase, urethral opening in maximal strain phase of SUI group increased significantly (χ2=23.09 , 22.25, 26.59, all P<0.001). In SUI group, the FA value of middle urethral annular sphincter decreased significantly ( t=-3.48, P=0.001), while the ADC, λ2 and λ3 values increased significantly ( t=3.19, 2.15 , 2.06, and P=0.002, 0.038 , 0.046, respectively). There was no significant difference in DTI parameters of middle urethral longitudinal muscle between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Static and dynamic MRI and DTI techniques can objectively evaluate the changes of urethral morphology and function of SUI patients. The thinning of the external sphincter in the middle urethra, shortening of the FUL and the destruction of the microstructure of the annular sphincter fiber bundle were the main alterations of SUI patients.
