Objective:To investigate the expression levels and clinical significance of glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (GLI1) and sonic hedgehog signaling molecule (Shh) in the malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis (EM).Methods:The expressions of GLI1 and Shh were detected by real-time reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and EnVision method in 50 cases of ovarian EM tissues, 35 cases of atypical endometriosis (aEM) and 50 cases of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). The expression differences of two molecular markers in the malignant transformation of ovarian EM were compared, and the relationships between two molecular markers and the clinicopathological features and prognosis of EAOC were analyzed.Results:(1) RT-PCR showed that the expression levels of GLI1 mRNA in EM, aEM and EAOC group were 1.77±0.40, 3.54±0.44, and 7.80±0.24, respectively. The expression levels of Shh mRNA were 0.95±0.21, 3.14±0.35, and 5.41±0.31, respectively. GLI1 and Shh mRNA in EAOC group were significantly higher than those in EM and aEM group (all P<0.01), and there were statistically significant differences between EM and aEM group (all P<0.01). The percentages of GLI1 in ovarian EM, aEM and EAOC were 32% (16/50), 57% (20/35), and 66% (33/50), respectively, meanwhile, the positive expression rates of Shh were 20% (10/50), 49% (17/35), and 54% (27/50), respectively (all P<0.01). GLI1 mRNA expression was positively correlated with Shh mRNA expression in EAOC tissues ( r=0.721, P<0.01). The expressions of GLI1 protein were proportionated to Shh protein in EAOC tissues ( r=0.608, P=0.001). (2) The expression of GLI1 was significantly related to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) levels, lymph node metastasis, and Platinum resistance in EAOC patients (all P<0.05). The expression of Shh were related to FIGO stage and lymph node metastasis in EAOC patients (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that GLI1 expression was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in EAOC patients ( P<0.05). Kaplan-meier survival analysis showed that the overall survival rate of EAOC patients with high GLI1 expression and low GLI1 expression was 12.1% and 35.3%, respectively, with statistical significance ( χ2=10.73, P<0.01). The overall survival rate of EAOC patients with high and low expression of Shh protein was 11.1% and 30.4%, in which there was statistically significant difference ( χ2=3.96, P=0.047). Conclusion:GLI1 and Shh are highly associated with the malignant transformation of ovarian EM, which may play a role in promoting malignant degeneration of ovarian EM, and the high expression of GLI1 and Shh indicates a poor prognosis in EAOC patients.

Objective:To evaluate treatment of laparoscopic rectopexy with Douglas pouch repair plus the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) for complete rectal prolapse (CRP).Methods:A total of 36 CRP patients treated by laparoscopic rectopexy associated with the procedure for PPH at No. 989 Hospital of PLA between Oct 2014 and June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Operations were successful in all these 36 cases.One patient developed left post-op hydronephrosis and no other major complications were observed , such as intra-abdominal hemorrhage, infection. 2 of 36 patients developed recurrent prolapse. The constipation score and incontinence score at the 12th month after operation were significantly different from those before operation[(5.97±1.36) vs.(10.92±1.96), t=17.39, P<0.05; (6.28±1.49) vs.(10.81±2.16), t=16.32, P<0.05]. The constipation score and incontinence score at the 24th month after operation were significantly different from those before operation[(5.81±1.28) vs.(10.92±1.96), t=15.36, P<0.05 ; (6.03±1.67) vs.(10.81±2.16), t=14.64, P<0.05]. But there was no significant difference on the 12th and 24th month after surgery ( t=0.85, P>0.05 and t=1.12, P>0.05). Conclusions:Laparoscopic rectopexy with Douglas pouch repair plus the procedure for PPH for CRP is a effective treatment.

Objective: To analyze the current nutritional composition of commonly consumed prepackaged foods among children in Chengdu and to provide a scientific basis for health education among children and adolescents. Methods: Based on the 3 day and 24 hour dietary data of children aged 6-12 in Chengdu of the Southwest China Childhood Nutrition and Growth Cohort from 2021 to 2022, the nutritional information of prepackaged foods was collected by combining offline and online methods. All foods were classified step by step, and the nutrient content of each 100 g or 100 mL food was counted and graded. Results: A total of 1 902 children s prepackaged foods in 23 sub categories of 10 major categories were investigated. Nuts and seeds, snack foods, instant foods and other dairy products had higher total energy(2 476, 2 027, 1 728, 1 816 kJ/100 g), with the nutrient reference value percentage(NRV%) exceeding 20%. Fish, poultry, meat, eggs and their products had the highest protein content(22.8 g/ 100 g ) with an NRV% of 38%, nuts and seeds had the highest fat content(47.5 g/100 g) with an NRV% of 79%, confectionery and jelly had the highest carbohydrate content(82.1 g/100 g) with an NRV% of 27%, and seasoning flour products had the highest sodium content with an NRV% up to 118%. Seasoning flour products and instant foods were mostly high sodium, high fat and high carbohydrate food. Baked and puffed foods were almost high fat and high carbohydrate. Fish, poultry, meat, eggs, beans and their products were rich in protein but mostly high in sodium. Beverages and cold drinks were low in other nutrients except carbohydrate. Conclusion The nutrient content of various prepackaged foods commonly consumed by children in Chengdu are quite different. Most of the foods consumed by children are high sodium, high fat and/or high carbohydrate. Nutrition education should be strengthened to help children choose healthy foods.

Objective:To evaluate the value of preoperative prediction of vessel invasion (VI) of locally advanced gastric cancer by machine learning model based on the venous phase enhanced CT radiomics features.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 296 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer confirmed by pathology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2011 to December 2020 was performed. The patients were divided into VI positive group ( n=213) and VI negative group ( n=83) based on pathological results. The data were divided into training set ( n=207) and test set ( n=89) according to the ratio of 7∶3 with stratification sampling. The clinical characteristics of patients were recorded, and the independent risk factors of gastric cancer VI were screened by multivariate logistic regression. Pyradiomics software was used to extract radiomic features from the venous phase enhanced CT images, and the minimum absolute shrinkage and selection algorithm (LASSO) was used to screen the features, obtain the optimal feature subset, and establish the radiomics signature. Four machine learning algorithms, including extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), logistic, naive Bayes (GNB), and support vector machine (SVM) models, were used to build prediction models for the radiomics signature and the screened clinical independent risk factors. The efficacy of the model in predicting gastric cancer VI was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results:The degree of differentiation (OR=13.651, 95%CI 7.265-25.650, P=0.003), Lauren′s classification (OR=1.349, 95%CI 1.011-1.799, P=0.042) and CA199 (OR=1.796, 95%CI 1.406-2.186, P=0.044) were independent risk factors for predicting the VI of locally advanced gastric cancer. Based on the venous phase enhanced CT images, 864 quantitative features were extracted, and 18 best constructed radiomics signature were selected by LASSO. In the training set, the area under the curve (AUC) of XGBoost, logistic, GNB and SVM models for predicting gastric cancer VI were 0.914 (95%CI 0.875-0.953), 0.897 (95%CI 0.853-0.940), 0.880 (95%CI 0.832-0.928) and 0.814 (95%CI 0.755-0.873), respectively, and in the test set were 0.870 (95%CI 0.769-0.971), 0.877 (95%CI 0.788-0.964), 0.859 (95%CI 0.755-0.961) and 0.773 (95%CI 0.647-0.898). The logistic model had the largest AUC in the test set. Conclusions:The machine learning model based on the venous phase enhanced CT radiomics features has high efficacy in predicting the VI of locally advanced gastric cancer before the operation, and the logistic model demonstrates the best diagnostic efficacy.

Objective:Gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type (GA-FG) is rare and often occurs in patients who are not infected with Helicobacter pylori. The current study analyzed and summarized the clinical, endoscopic, and pathological features of GA-FG, in an effort to improve its diagnosis. Methods:Patients who were diagnosed with GA-FG and treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) resection at the Department of Gastroenterology, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January 1st 2020 to October 1st 2022 were included in the study. Their clinical manifestations, endoscopic features, pathological immunohistochemistry, and other characteristics were analyzed.Results:A total of 14 patients with GA-FG were included in the study, 5 males and 9 females, with a mean age of 59 years. Most had no substantial clinical manifestations. Twelve patients were H. pylori-negative, all patients underwent ESD resection, and all patients survived during the follow-up period of 13±9 months. Eleven patients had postoperative endoscopic follow-up records, and no recurrence was detected. Fifteen lesions were detected (2 were present in 1 patient). Twelve were located in the upper 1/3 of the stomach, 10 were ≤ 1 cm in diameter, 12 had a morphology of type 0-Ⅱa, 8 had visible discoloration changes, and 12 had visible vasodilation on the surface. Magnified endoscopy and narrow-band imaging indicated that 12 of the lesions had enlarged marginal crypt epithelium, without any obvious microvascular pattern abnormalities and no obvious borderline. After resection the pathological specimens were all without vascular infiltration, and there was no atrophy of the mucosa at the edge of the lesion. In immunohistochemistry analyses MUC-2 was negative in all cases. MUC5AC was negative in 11 cases, MUC-6 was positive in all cases, and Ki-67 was ≤ 5% in 12 cases. Conclusions:GA-FG is a newly identified type of gastric cancer with low malignancy and a good prognosis. Characteristic discoloration and surface dilated vessels are often evident endoscopically. Enlarged marginal crypt epithelium and no visible boundary lines are often apparent in magnification endoscopy and narrow band imaging.

Objective To explore the effect of " hospital informationized blood glucose management" on perioperative diabetic patients. Methods Three hundred patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, who underwent selective operations from orthopedics, general surgery, urological surgery, and thoracic surgery were divided into two groups: 150 cases of blood glucose information management group and 150 cases of traditional blood glucose monitoring and management group. The blood glucose on target rate, percent of hypoglycemic events, percent of hyperglycemic events, the blood glucose level on the first postoperative day, the average hospitalization day, perioperative infection rate were evaluated for efficacy. Results The blood glucose on target rate in informationized blood glucose management group was significantly higher than that of the control group [(52.52 ± 18.31)%vs (14.88 ± 8.39)%, P＜0.01]. The frequency of hyperglycemia, the average daily blood glucose, the average blood glucose on fasting, after three meals and at night, the fasting and postprandial blood glucose level on the first postoperative day in informationized blood glucose management group were significantly lower than that of the control group [( 45. 31 ± 18.87)%vs (84.41±8.86)%, (8.59±1.34 vs 12.47±2.37) mmol/L, (7.33±1.41 vs 10.01±1.99)mmol/L, (8.89 ±2.34vs13.61±3.47)mmol/L,(9.47±1.94vs13.46±2.77)mmol/L,(9.40±2.72vs13.28±2.94)mmol/L, (8.28±2.11vs11.31±2.89)mmol/L,(8.29±2.51vs11.58±3.52)mmol/L,(8.25±3.67vs17.65±19.68) mmol/L, all P＜0.01]. In addition, the average hospitalization day of the informationized blood glucose management group was significantly shorter than that of the control group [(16±7 vs 21±15)d, P＜0.05]. The infection rate of the management group and the control group were 41. 2% and 58. 8% respectively. There was no significant difference between two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusion The " hospital informationized blood glucose management" is simple and practical, which may significantly improve the rate of blood glucose control in each period, reduce the average hospitalization day, and decrease perioperative infection tendency.
