Objective To investigate the relationship between expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), glutathione S-transferase-π (GST-π) and chemosensitivities in lymph node metastases (LNMs) of gastrointestinal carcinomas. Methods Tumor chemosesitivities to 9 drugs was measured by MTT assay, and the expression of P-gp and GST-π were determined immunohistochemically in primary tumor (PT) and LNMs of gastrointestinal carcinomas in 54 patients. Results The P-gp expression was detected in 22% cases (k= -0.0133, P =0.8698) for beth PT and LNMs, and of GST-π in 50% (k =0. 1137, P= 0. 1496). Expression of P-gp and GST-π in LNMs were stronger eompared with PT (Z = -3. 0448, Z = -2. 1178, both P <0. 05). The inhibition rates of LNMs cells for VCR, OPT, OXA, DDP and MTX were lower than those to PT (all P < 0. 05), but for VP-16 it was higher (P < 0. 05). In PT, there were negative correlation between expression of P-gp and inhibition rates of tumor cells for 5-FU, VCR and PTX respectively (r = -0. 4142 ~ -0. 5712, all P <0. 05), and GST-π for 5-FU, VCR, OPT and PTX as well (r = -0. 3927 ~ -0. 4951, all P <0. 05). In LNMs, negative correlation between expression of P-gp and inhibition rates of tumor cells for VP-16, PTX and eADM were found statistically (r = - 0. 3802 ~ - 0. 4624, all P < 0. 05), and also GST-π for 5-FU, VCR and DDP (r = - 0. 3996 ~ - 0. 5345, all P < 0. 05). Conclusions The LNMs of gastrointestinal carcinomas are heterogeneous with respect to expression of mdr-related factors and response to chemotherapy, and more resistant than the PT for chemotherapeutants. Effective adjuvant chemotherapy in gastrointestinal cancers depends on targeting the metastatic component of the tumor.

Clinical data of 62 patients with gastrointestinal submucosal tumors (diameter ≥1 cm) who were treated with kissing suture by single-channel endoscope after endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2017 to May 2019 were analyzed retrospectively to evaluate the clinical value of kissing suture technique by single-channel endoscope in defect closure after EFR. All the post-EFR defects were successfully closed (100%). No postoperative anastomotic leakage or other serious complications occurred. The mean maximum diameter of lesions was 3 cm (ranged 1-7 cm), and 13 (21%) of them were greater than or equal to 5 cm.The mean number of clips used was 25.7 (ranged 7-78). The mean procedure time was 168 min (ranged 44-300 min), and the mean suture time was 63 min (ranged 13-211 min). The mean postoperative hospital stay was 7 days (ranged 4-12 days). Endoscopic reexamination 3-6 months after operation showed that all wounds healed well. Kissing suture method by single-channel endoscope is a safe, effective, easy and feasible for closing gastrointestinal defect after EFR.

Objective To access the value of MRI in differential diagnosis between intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and atypical hepatic abscess. Methods Retrospectively collecting and analyzing the clinical and MRI imaging data of 19 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and 17 patients with atypical hepatic abscess, confirmed by reexamination after anti‐inflammation therapy, surgery or puncture etiology, from June 2011 to July 2018 in Central Hospital of Lishui City.They were divided into ICC and abscess groups.All patients underwent routine liver plain MRI, DWI and contrast‐enhanced MR scan. The MRI features of the two groups (including morphology, boundary, cystic change and necrosis, pseudocapsule, hemorrhage, lipid composition, the signature of lesion in different phases of MRI and surrounding tissue) were studied. Fisher exact test and t test were used. Result This study showed that there was statistical difference between the two groups in the following aspects, the presence of cystic degeneration, the degree of annular enhancement in arterial phase, the homogeneous enhancement in portal venous phase and balanced phase and the central filling enhancement sign (P<0.05).The results showed that necrotic cystic lesion was more common in the abscess group (15/17 cases) than in the ICC group (0/19 cases);in the cases with annular enhancement in arterial phase,the degree of enhancement in the ICC group (13/16 cases) was higher than that in the abscess group (2/9 cases); the enhancement of the central parenchyma of lesion on out‐of‐phase images (1/19 cases) was slower in the ICC group than that in the abscess group (14/17 cases);and the ICC group was likely to present as central filling enhancement compared to the abscess group. Conclusion The presence of cystic lesions in DWI, the enhancement degree of marginal parenchyma, the enhancement speed of central parenchyma and the whole enhancement pattern are essential signs for differentiating intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and atypical hepatic abscess. 图1 女,53岁,右肝脓肿.病灶最大径4.0 cm,病灶中的小囊变区在DWI上呈高信号(↑) 图2 女,39岁,右肝脓肿.病灶最大径3.1 cm,病灶中的小囊变区在DWI上呈高信号(↑) 图3 女,66岁,右肝肝内胆管细胞癌(ICC).病灶最大径5.3 cm,横轴面T2WI病灶整体呈不均匀高信号,内见相对更高信号的富黏液区(↑) 图4 男,45岁,右肝ICC.病灶最大径5.8 cm,横轴面T2WI病灶整体呈高低混杂信号,内见散在片状低信号的凝固性坏死区(↑) 图5 与图1为同一患者.横轴面T2WI病灶实质部分呈均匀高信号,小囊变区呈明显高信号(↑) 图6 与图2为同一患者.横轴面T2WI病灶实质部分呈等信号,小囊变区呈明显高信号(↑)图7 与图3为同一患者.增强扫描动脉期横轴面示病灶边缘轻度不规则环形强化 图8 与图4为同一患者.增强扫描动脉期横轴面示病灶强化环有多处中断征象(↑) 图9,10 男,45岁,右肝ICC.病灶最大径5.8 cm,增强扫描动脉期横轴面(图9)示病灶边缘局部显著环形强化,局部强化环明显中断(↑).平衡期横轴面像(图10)示病灶中央有填充强化 图11 与图3,7为同一患者.平衡期横轴面示病灶内富黏液区出现轻微中央填充强化(↑) 图12 与图4、8为同一患者.平衡期横轴面像示病灶中央有填充强化 图13,14 男,59岁,右肝脓肿.病灶最大径4.3 cm,动脉期横轴面像(图13)示脓壁散在强化,周围见片状异常灌注.平衡期横轴面像(图14)示脓壁均匀强化,其内囊变区无强化 图15 与图2,6为同一患者.平衡期横轴面像示脓壁均匀强化呈相对等信号,其内囊变区无强化(↑) 图16 与图1,5为同一患者.平衡期横轴面像示脓壁均匀强化呈相对等信号,其内囊变区无强化(↑)

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of endoscopic resection and laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) with a maximum diameter of 2 to 5 cm, and to analyze the influence of factors such as tumor surface, growth pattern and lesion origin on the choice of resection method, so as to provide a safer and more effective treatment for patients with gastric GIST.Methods:From January 2012 to November 2019, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the clinical data of 301 patients with gastric GIST who underwent endoscopic resection (137 cases in the endoscopic resection group) or laparoscopic surgery (164 cases in the laparoscopic surgery group) were retrospectively analyzed, including age, gender, whether there was depression on the tumor surface (the local subsidence depth of the mucosa on the tumor surface was >5 mm), whether the tumor surface was irregular (non-hemispherical or non-elliptical tumor surface), whether there was combined ulcer, location, shape, origin of the lesion, growth pattern (intralumina growth or combined intraluminal and extraluminal growth), risk classification (very low risk, low risk, medium risk, high risk), whether the tumor was en bloc resection, operation time, whether bleeding or not, fasting time, indwelling time of gastric tube, time of hospitalization, time of postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications and follow-up. Independent sample t test, chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Among the 137 patients with gastric GIST in the endoscopic resection group, 85 cases (62.0%) underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection, 9 cases (6.6%) underwent endoscopic submucosal excavation, 42 cases (30.7%) underwent endoscopic full-thickness resection, and 1 case (0.7%) underwent submucosal tunnel endoscopic resection. There were no significant differences in gender, age, lesion location, tumor size, and risk classification between the endoscopic resection group and the laparoscopic surgery group (all P>0.05). The tumor surface was depressed, with ulcer or irregular in 1, 49, 26, and 2 cases of patients with gastric GIST of very low risk, low risk, medium risk and high risk, respectively. There was statistically significant difference in the proportion of depression, irregularity and ulcer on the tumor surface at different risk levels ( Z=-2.55, P=0.011). The complete tumor resection rate of the endoscopic resection group was lower than that of the laparoscopic surgery group (86.1%, 118/137 vs. 100.0%, 164/164), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=24.28, P<0.001). However the operation time, fasting time, the indwelling time of gastric tube, time of hospitalization, and the time of postoperative hospital stay of the endoscopic resection group were shorter than those of the laparoscopic surgery group, and the total hospitalization cost was lower than that of the laparoscopic surgery group (90.0 min (62.5 min, 150.0 min) vs. 119.5 min, (80.0 min, 154.2 min); 3 d (3 d, 4 d) vs. 5 d (4 d, 7 d); 3 d (2 d, 4 d) vs. 4 d (2 d, 6 d); 11 d (10 d, 14 d) vs. 16 d (12 d, 20 d); 7 d (6 d, 9 d) vs. 9 d (7 d, 11 d); (38 211.6±10 221.0) yuan vs. (59 926.1±17 786.1) yuan), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-2.46, -7.12, -4.44, -6.89 and -5.92, t=-13.24; all P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative abdominal pain and other severe postoperative complications (including shock, respiratory failure, pulmonary embolism, gastroparesis, etc.) of the endoscopic resection group were all lower than those of the laparoscopic surgery group (16.8%, 23/137 vs. 27.4%, 45/164; 0.7%, 1/137 vs. 4.9%, 8/164), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.84, Fisher′s exact test, P=0.028 and 0.043). There were no significant differences in the incidence of intraoperative bleeding, postoperative bleeding, fever and perforation between the two groups (all P>0.05). The incidence of operation-related complications of lesions with intraluminal growth and originating from muscularis propria in the endoscopic resection group were lower than those of the laparoscopic surgery group (19.5%, 25/128 vs. 32.6%, 45/138; 12.6%, 12/95 vs. 31.4%, 37/118), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=5.86 and 10.42, P=0.016 and 0.001). There was no significant difference in the postoperative tumor recurrent rate between the endoscopic resection group and the laparoscopic surgery group (0, 0/137 vs. 2.4%, 4/164; Fisher’s exact test, P=0.129). Conclusions:Endoscopic treatment is safe and effective for gastric GIST with a maximum diameter of 2 to 5 cm, which is superior to laparoscopic surgery. However, laparoscopic surgery is recommended for tumor with depressed, ulcerative, or irregular surface and combined intraluminal and extraluminal growth.

From June 2017 to September 2019, 5 patients who were diagnosed as having benign severe pyloric stenosis underwent fully covered stent placement using a new stenting method at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Five patients were performed successfully without serious complications. Postoperative barium meal radiograph revealed that the stents were in good location and the acontrast agent passed smoothly. The liquid diet was commenced 1-3 days after surgery. No vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea occurred. During the follow-up, all the patients had improved weight and nutritional status. Four patients underwent stent removal 3-4 months postoperatively. One patient was found that the stent had migrated to stomach 3 months after discharge. After removing the stent, balloon dilation and mucosal resection was performed for the mild pyloric stenosis. All 5 patients had an additional follow-up of 3 months, and no symptoms and restenosis occured. These preliminary results showed that the new stenting method of fully covered stent placement is feasible, safe and effective in the treatment of benign pyloric stenosis.

Objective:To study the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic full-thickness resection(EFR) in the treatment of large gastric stromal tumors with diameter of 5-7 cm.Methods:Data of 36 patients with large gastric stromal tumors (5-7 cm) who received EFR or surgery (including laparoscopic and open surgery) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and confirmed by postoperative histopathology from January 2017 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into endoscopic group (9 cases) and surgical group (27 cases) according to different resection methods. The perioperative indicators and the total incidence of complications in the two groups were compared.Results:In terms of perioperative indicators, the median operation time of the endoscopic group was significantly longer than that of the surgical group (4.0 hours VS 2.0 hours, P<0.01), and the postoperative fasting time (4.55±0.88 days VS 6.22±2.24 days, t=-2.15, P=0.03) and hospital stay (6.88±1.26 days VS 10.03±2.90 days, t=-3.13, P<0.01) were significantly shorter than those of the surgical group. The median visual analogue scores (VAS) of abdominal pain of the endoscopic group on the first postoperative day (3 VS 6, P<0.01)and the third postoperative day (1 VS 3, P<0.01) were significantly lower than those of the surgical group. The hospitalization cost was significantly less than that of the surgical group (55±14.7 thousand yuan VS 73±24.3 thousand yuan, t=-2.11, P=0.04). In term of the total incidence of complications, the endoscopic group was 11.1% (1/9), which was higher than that of the surgical group [7.4% (2/27)], but there was no statistically significant difference( P=1.00). Conclusion:EFR is safe and effective in the treatment of large gastric stromal tumors (5-7 cm), and has the advantages of less invasiveness, rapid postoperative recovery, and lower hospitalization cost. But how to shorten the operation time is an urgent problem to be solved.

Data of 55 cases of gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (G-NENS) with diameter ≤12 mm in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2014 to August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the methods of endoscopic resection, the patients were divided into two groups: the endoscopic mucosal resection with a cap (EMR-C) group (35 cases) and the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) group (20 cases). The results showed that the success rates of operation, the whole resection rates and the complete resection rates were all 100.0% in the two groups. Compared with the ESD group, the EMR-C group had a shorter median operation time (12.00 min VS 28.35 min, P<0.001), less mean hospitalization costs (21 165.19 yuan VS 28 400.35 yuan, P=0.004), and a similar overall incidence of complications [2.86% (1/35) VS 0, P=1.000]. By March 2020, the recurrence rate of EMR-C group and ESD group were 28.6% (10/35) and 15.0% (3/20), respectively, without significant difference ( P=0.418). It is suggested that for G-NENS with diameter ≤12 mm, without muscular invasion, lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis, EMR-C and ESD are both safe and effective, but EMR-C has more advantages in terms of operation time and hospitalization costs.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the enhancement characteristics in arterial phase and the prognosis of patients with massive intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IMCC).Methods:The imaging and clinical data of 92 patients with IMCC who were pathologically confirmed and underwent enhanced MRI or CT in Central Hospital of Lishui from June 2004 to February 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the enhancement pattern of the primary lesion in the arterial phase, patients were divided into rich arterial blood supply group (17 cases) and deficient arterial blood supply group (75 cases). The clinical data and imaging features of these patients were studied. Differences between measurement data and count data between the two groups were compared using t test and Fisher test. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test were used to analyze overall survival. The Cox regression multivariate analysis was used to study the relationship between the variables and the risk of death. Result:The enlargement of lymph nodes, long diameter of the primary lesion, CA19-9, treatment and HPD around the primary lesion in arterial phase were statistically different in the two groups ( P<0.05), others were no statistical difference. CA19-9>200 U/ml, lymph node enlargement, HPD around the primary lesion in arterial phase and deficient arterial blood supply were independent factors for the prediction of prognosis in IMCC patients with surgery ( P values were 0.008, 0.002, 0.049 and 0.005, respectively). Lymph node enlargement and deficient arterial blood supply were independent risk factors for the prediction of prognosis in IMCC patients with surgery ( P values are 0.049 and 0.045, respectively). Conclusion:The blood supply characteristics of arterial phase are independent factors for the prognosis of patients with IMCC.
