Objective To compare the clinical value of early enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition therapy in postoperative patients of cholangiocarcinoma.Methods 56 cases of cholangiocarcinoma patients were randomly divided into early enteral nutrition group (EPN group) and parenteral nutrition group (PN group).All patients received nutritional support on the basis of metabolic support.Leukocyte count and neutrophil percentage decrease rate,total bilirubin decrease rate and hepatase (valley-C conversion) were counted at 3 and 7 days after operation.The decrease rate of aminase and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase,recovery time of intestinal function (anal exhaust and defecation),incidence rate of surgical site infection (abdominal cavity and wound),hospitalization time after operation,incidence rate of bile leakage and hospitalization cost were compared between the two groups.Results The recovery time of intestinal function [(51.2 ±4.4) h],the decrease rate of leukocyte count (0.438 7 ±0.191 5) and neutrophil ratio (0.179 5 ± 0.046 1),the decrease rate of bilirubin (0.502 5 ± 0.153 5),alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (0.688 1 ±0.113 3),aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (0.617 0 ± 0.178 8) and hospitalization expenses [(87 852.37 ±9 127.04)yuan] in EPN group were better than those in PN group [(72.0 ± 12.9)h,0.090 5 ±0.120 3,0.083 4 ±0.036 8,0.201 5 ±0.077 8,0.251 6 ±0.419 0,0.230 9 ± 0.437,(109 036.69 ± 7 949.71) yuan,P ＜ 0.05].However,the incidence of abdominal distension (42.31％) was higher than that of PN group (13.33％,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of bile leakage (7.69％) was not significantly different from that of PN group (13.33％,P ＞0.05).Conclusions Early enteral nutrition has obvious advantages in postoperative recovery of patients with cholangiocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the laparoscopy combined with transperineal extralevator abdominoperineal excision (TP-ELAPE) for locally advanced low rectal caner.

METHODSClinical data of 12 patients with locally advanced low rectal cancer undergoing laparoscopy combined with TP-ELAPE in our department from May 2013 to March 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 8 male and 4 female patients with median aged of 63 (46 to 72) years. The median distance from tumor lower margin to anal verge was 3.5(2.0 to 4.0) cm. A self-made transanal suit for minimally invasive operation was used to make a sealed lacuna outside the sphincter, thus laparoscope can be applied to perform transperineal operation.

RESULTSAll the patients underwent operations successfully without conversion to open abdominal operation. The median operating time was 206 (180 to 280) minutes with perineal operating time 95(80 to 120) minutes. The median intraoperative blood loss was 120(50 to 200) ml. The median postoperative hospital stay was 12(9 to 18 ) days. Postoperative pathology revealed that all circumferential margins (CRM) were negative. The area of sample horizontal section was (2 824±463) mm(2), and of outer muscularis propria was(2 190±476) mm(2). Postoperative complications included chronic sacrococcygeal region pain in 2 cases, urinary retention in 3 cases, perineal wound infection in 1 case. No perineal seroma, perineal hernia, wound dehiscence and sinus tract formation were observed. Among 8 patients with preoperative normal sexual function, sexual dysfunction occurred in 2 patients. There was no local recurrence and metastasis during a median follow-up of 21(12 to 34) months.

CONCLUSIONLaparoscopy combined with TP-ELAPE has the potential to simplify the operation procedure for low rectal cancer, can ensure the radical treatment and safety of operation, and may be carried out in experienced centers.

Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism of miR-17-5p regulating the proliferation and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by regulating the expression of breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 like (BRMS1-like or BRMS1L) gene. Methods:A total of 40 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and corresponding paracancerous tissues resected from nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, who were admitted to the General Hospital of Pingdingshan Shenma Medical Group during January 2014 to December 2017, were included in this study; in addition, nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines CNE 2, HONE 1, C666-1 and nasopharyngeal immortalized epithelial cell line NP69 were also collected for this study. The expression of miR-17-5p in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and cell lines was detected by qPCR. The targeted relationship between BRMS1L and miR-17-5p was predicted by the StarBase and verified by the Dual luciferase reporter gene assay. Effects of transfection of miR-17-5p mimics and inhibitors on the expression of BRMS1Lin CNE2 cells were detected by WB assay. CCK-8, Transwell and Flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of miR-17-5p/BRMS1L axis on the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of CNE 2 cells. Results: miR-17-5p was highly expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and cell lines (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Knockdown of miR-17-5p significantly inhibited proliferation, invasion and migration of CNE2 cells but promoted apoptosis (P<0.05 or P<0.01); miR-17-5p targeted BRMS1Land down-regulated its expression. Over-expression of BRMS1Lsignificantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of CNE2 cells but promoted apoptosis (all P<0.01); while simultaneous over-expression of miR-17-5p and BRMS1L reversed the above effects (all P<0.01). Conclusion: miR-17-5p promoted proliferation, invasion, migration and inhibited apoptosis of CNE 2 cells by down-regulating the expression of BRMS1L.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment of abdominal cocoon.Methods Clinical data of 5 cases with abdominal cocoon in our hospital from October 2015 to February 2017 were analyzed.Results 5 patients with abdominal cocoon were recruited,including 3 males and 2 females.Of the 5 patients,one with gastric cancer,1 with colon cancer,2 with rectal cancer and 1 with cryptorchidism.All the patients have no symptoms of intestinal obstruction.Laparotomy revealed that all or part of small intestine had been wrapped in a layer of tough fibrous membrane.Excision of primary lesion without lysis of adhesions were done.No symptoms of intestinal obstruction and intestinal fistula occurred after operation.Conclusions The preoperative diagnosis of abdominal cocoon is difficult.It is often inadvertently found in the operation,asymptomatic patients,do not need treatment.

Objective To analyze the differentially expressed long non-cording RNA (lncRNA) in human colon carcinoma tissue and paracancerous normal colon tissue. Methods Total RNA from the colon carcinoma tissues and paracancerous normal colon tissues of 6 patients from July to August 2015 in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University were prepared respectively. The mRNA of total RNA was amplified, labeled and purified. Hybridization was performed with the profile chip, and the data were normalized and analyzed. Results Compared with normal tissues, 1 339 lncRNAs expressed differentially (P < 0.05), 53 lncRNAs were significantly differential (fold change > 2) in colon carcinoma tissues, in which 41 lncRNAs were up-regulation and 12 lncRNAs were down-regulation.Three lncRNAs had more than 3 times changes. Conclusion Obvious changes of lncRNA expression profile are observed in the pathogenesis of colon carcinoma,suggesting that lncRNA may be related to the progress of colon carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the application value of biological mesh in the pelvic floor reconstruction of extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE) for advanced low rectal cancer (RC).Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 228 patients with advanced low RC who underwent ELAPE in the Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University between August 2008 and December 2016 were collected.Of 228 patients,174 using biological mesh closure and 54 using primary closure were respectively allocated into the biological mesh group and primary closure group.Observation indicators:(1)intra-and post-operative situations;(2) postoperative complications (including short-term and long-term complications);(3) follow-up and survival situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative long-term complications,tumor recurrence or metastasis and overall survival up to December,2017.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as（ x） ±s,and comparison between groups was analyzed using the independent-sample t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range),and comparison between groups was analyzed using the nonparametric test.Comparisons of count data were evaluated by the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability.Results (1)Intra-and post-operative situations:all the patients underwent successful ELAPE.The perineal operation time,time of indwelling perineal drainage-tube and hospital expenses were respectively (60 ± 50)minutes,(11.6 ± 2.4) days,(57 781± 11 337) yuan in the biological mesh group and (50±21) minutes,(8.9± 1.7) days,(53 714± 13 395)yuan in the primary closure group,with statistically significant differences between groups (t =3.327,7.691,-2.203,P＜0.05).The total operation time and duration of postoperative hospital stay were respectively (242±53) minutes,(13.0±5.0) days in the biological mesh group and (228±51) minutes,(12.0±5.0) days in the primary closure group,with no statistically significant difference between groups (t =1.701,1.309,P＞0.05).(2) Postoperative complications:26 and 19 patients in the biological mesh group and primary closure group had respectively perineal wound complications (1 patient combined with multiple complications),showing a statistically significant difference between groups (x2 =10.660,P＜0.05).The perineal wound infection,perineal hernia and disruption of perineal wound were respectively detected in 20,6,1 patients in the biological mesh group and 12,7,3 patients in the primary closure group,showing statistically significant differences between groups (x2 =3.931,5.282,P＜0.05).(3) Follow-up and survival situations:174 patients in the biological mesh group were followed up for 64 months (range,13-112 months),and 54 patients in the primary closure group were followed up for 51 months (range,23-76 months).The local recurrence rate,distal metastasis rate and overall survival rate were respectively 5.17％ (9/174),20.11％ (35/174),77.59％ (135/174) in the biological mesh group and 7.41％(4/54),24.07％(13/54),79.63％(43/54) in the primary closure group,with no statistically significant difference between groups (x2 =0.080,0.389,0.101,P＞0.05).Conclusions The biological mesh in the pelvic floor reconstruction of ELAPE for advanced low RC is safe and feasible.Compared with primary closure,biological mesh closure will extend perineal operation time and time of indwelling perineal drainage-tube,and increase hospital expenses,but doesn't affect total operation time and duration of postoperative hospital stay,meanwhile,it can also reduce the overall perineal wound complications,especially in perineal wound infection,perineal hernia and disruption of perineal wound.

OBJECTIVETo demonstrate the feasibility of extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE) for locally advanced low cancer in China.

METHODSA prospective multicenter clinical trial was carried out by 7 general hospitals across China from August 2008 to October 2011. A total of 102 patients underwent ELAPE for primary locally advanced low rectal cancer. There were 60 male and 42 female patients. The patients' characteristics, complications and prognosis were recorded.

RESULTSAll patients underwent the ELAPE procedure successfully. The median operating time was 180 minutes (range 110-495 minutes) and median intraoperative blood loss was 200 ml (range 50-1000 ml). The rates of sexual dysfunction, perineal complications, urinary retention, and chronic perineal pain were 40.5%, 23.5%, 18.6% and 13.7%, respectively. Chronic perineal pain was associated with coccygectomy (12 months postoperatively, t = 8.06, P < 0.01), and the pain might gradually ease over time. Reconstruction of pelvic floor with biologic mesh was associated with lower rate of perineal dehiscence (χ(2) = 13.502, P = 0.006) and overall perineal wound complications (χ(2) = 5.836, P = 0.016) compared with primary closure. A positive circumferential margin (CRM) was demonstrated in 6 (5.9%) patients, and intraoperative perforations occurred in 4 (3.9%) patients. All CRM involvement and intraoperative perforation located at anteriorly and anterolaterally. The local recurrence was 4.9% at a median follow-up of 35 months (range, 18-58 months).

CONCLUSIONSELAPE performed in the prone position for low rectal cancer leads to a reduction in CRM involvement, intraoperative perforations, and local recurrence, but it might result in a little high rate of perineal wound related complications. Reconstruction of pelvic floor with biologic mesh might lower the rate of perineal wound complications.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and feasibility between modified circumferential purse-string closure and conventional primary linear closure of the wound following loop stoma reversal. METHODS: Clinical data of 88 consecutive patients who underwent loop colostomy or loop ileostomy closures at our hospital from July 2011 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 43 cases underwent modified purse-string technique (modified purse-string group), 45 cases underwent direct suture (direct suture group). The operation method of modified purse-string suture was as follows: (1) the circumferential subcutaneous adipose tissue was sutured with the absorbable suture, avoiding tightening at knotting and retaining a 1 cm pore;(2)absorbable suture was used to perform purse-string suture of the dermis, retaining a 0.5 cm central pore when knotting; (3) a rubber drain was placed through the pore. The clinical parameters, surgical results and postoperative complication of two groups were recorded and compared. RESULTS: There were 56 males and 32 females with age of (65.0±11.5) years old. Seventy-nine cases were malignant tumors, 6 were benign tumors and 3 were traumatic. There was no significant difference in the baseline data between two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the direct suture group, the modified purse-string group had significantly lower wound infection rate [7.0%(3/43) vs. 24.4%(11/45), χ²=5.015, P=0.025]; significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay (mean 7.1 days vs. 8.6 days, t=-2.656, P=0.010); significantly lower total hospitalization costs (mean 25 668.4 yuan vs. 27 718.1 yuan, t=-2.488, P=0.015); however, the wound healing time of the modified purse-string group was significantly longer (mean 22.0 days vs. 13.0 days, t=5.701, P<0.001). The average healing time of the wounds in the direct suture group was 29.8 days, which was significantly longer than that of the first-stage healing cases (7.5 days, t=-15.446,P<0.001). The average wound healing time of the infected cases in the modified purse-string suture group was 22.0 days, compared with 22.1 days in the first-stage healing cases, the difference was not statistically significant(t=0.077,P=0.943). CONCLUSIONS Modified purse-string closure after loop stoma reversal is an appropriate technique with lower stoma site infection rate, shorter postoperative hospital stay and lower hospitalization cost than conventional primary closure, although wounds may take longer to heal in this approach.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) and risk factors in colorectal cancer surgery patients.

METHODSBetween October 2003 and October 2013, 1 381 consecutive patients with colorectal cancer managed surgically with primary anastomosis were included in the study. There were 762 male and 619 female patients with mean body mass index (BMI) was (27.7 ± 3.7) kg/m², aged from 20 to 90 years with a median of 67 years. Patients undergoing emergency surgery and requiring stoma creation were excluded. The patients' characteristics, surgical conditions and prognosis were recorded. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to identify any variable predictive factors of SSI.

RESULTSOne hundred twenty-six (9.12%) cases developed incisional SSI. The occurrence time for SSI was from 2 to 20 days, mean (6.7 ± 2.9) days. According to multivariable logistic regression analysis, BMI (OR = 1.058, P = 0.030), intraoperative contamination (OR = 10.549, P = 0.000) and open operation as compared with a laparoscopic procedure (OR = 2.111, P = 0.001) were significant independent predictors of incisional SSI. There was a significant decrease in incisional SSI in wound protectors group (OR = 1.646, P = 0.012).

CONCLUSIONBMI and intraoperative contamination are independent predictors of incisional SSI, and wound protectors and laparoscopic surgery are associated with a lower incidence of incisional SSI following colorectal cancer surgery.
