5.Progress of relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and colorectal cancer
Cancer Research and Clinic 2022;34(11):866-869
Studies on the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and colorectal cancer have been controversial in recent years. The Chinese "eat-together system" dietary culture and the life style of family gathering result in a high infection rate of Helicobacter pylori, and the relationship between Helicobacter pylori and tumors has thereupon become one of the research hotspots. Studies have shown that Helicobacter pylori infection may promote the occurrence of colorectal precancerous lesions and colorectal cancer by inducing hypergastrinemia, destroying intestinal microecology, suppressing immune function and other ways. This article reviews the research progress on the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and colorectal cancer and its mechanism.

Objective To explore the preventive effect of twin-tube laryngeal mask airway on gastric lavage and aspiration pneumonia. Methods Between January 2015 and June 2017, 305 cases of poisoning coma patients were admitted to Emergency Department, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University. According to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, 255 cases of poisoning coma patients were enrolled and randomly(random number) divided into 3 groups (n=85 in each group):group A (normal gastric lavage machine method), group B (gastric lavage endotracheal intubation), and group C (gastric lavage twin-tube laryngeal mask airway placement). Whether there was aspiration pneumonia within 12 hours after the onset was observed, and the length of hospital stay, hospitalization cost and mortality were recorded. The mean value of the two samples was compared with t test, and the four-grid data were checked by chi-square test. P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results Compared with group A, the incidence of aspiration pneumonia was significantly lower in group B and group C (group A 56.47%, group B 32.94%, group C 23.53%, P<0.01). Compared with group A, the length of hospital stay in group C was shorter [(3.39±2.12) d vs. (6.06±4.91) d,P<0.05], and the hospitalization cost was less [(25687.52±20803.44) yuan vs. (52213.91±37267.56)yuan,P<0.05]. There was no significant difference of mortality between the three groups (P>0.05).Compared with group B, the length of hospital stay in group C was shorter [(3.39±2.12) d vs.(5.51±4.37) d, P<0.05], and the hospitalization cost was less [(25687.52±20803.44)yuan vs.(50887.82±32399.76) yuan, P<0.05]. There was no significant difference of mortality between the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Twin-tube laryngeal mask airway for poisoning coma patients with gastric lavage, can not only ensures effective ventilation, but also reduces the probability of concurrent aspiration pneumonia, shortens hospital stay, and reduces hospitalization cost, but has no obvious effect on mortality.

BACKGROUND:Tissue flossing is a new injury prevention tool and auxiliary exercise training strategy.Tissue flossing can increase joint range of motion,improve athletic performance,and relieve pain,and is increasingly widely used in the field of sports and rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE:To review the mechanism of tissue flossing and its application in sports and rehabilitation to provide a reference for follow-up research. METHODS:"Tissue flossing;compression tissue flossing;floss band;voodoo flossband;blood flow restriction;shearing of fascia;musculoskeletal rehabilitation;sport injury"were used as Chinese and English search terms to search on the databases of CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed and EBSCO databases.Relevant articles from January 2000 to October 2022 were retrieved,and 86 articles were finally included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Tissue flossing intervention can improve lower limb joint motion,improve sprint and jump performance,promote joint injury rehabilitation,and relieve pain subjectively.However,tissue flossing intervention did not improve the range of motion of the upper limb.There is still controversy on the acute enhancement of lower limb muscle strength.It has a good tendency to improve lower limb balance and stability and improve mental state,but more studies are needed to confirm.The possible mechanisms of tissue flossing intervention are mainly fascia shear,pain gating,blood flow restriction and reperfusion,and compression.Tissue flossing is a useful treatment option that can provide important contributions in the future in the areas of sports training,sports injury prevention and rehabilitation,but more long-term in-depth studies are needed.
