Background:Irritable bowel syndrome( IBS)patients are often accompanied by anxiety,depression and other psychological abnormalities,but the effects of psychological abnormalities on daily life have not yet been fully clarified. Aims:To investigate the effects of psychological abnormalities on life quality,sleep quality and symptom severity in IBS patients. Methods:A total of 101 IBS patients admitted from Nov. 2014 to May 2015 at Anhui Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University were enrolled in this study. Zung self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)and Zung self-rating depression scale(SDS)were used to evaluate the mental state;IBS-quality of life(IBS-QOL)was used to evaluate the life quality;Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)was used to evaluate the sleep quality;IBS symptom severity score (IBS-SSS)was used to evaluate the symptom severity. Correlations between psychological factors,life quality,sleep quality and symptom severity were analyzed. Results:57. 4%(58 / 101)of IBS patients were accompanied by varying degrees of anxiety and/ or depression. The IBS-QOL score of 101 patients was 73. 28 ± 12. 79,in which anxiety,loss of appetite and health concerns were the most severely affected. 73. 3%(74 / 101)of IBS patients were accompanied by varying degrees of sleep disorders,in which daytime dysfunction,sleep quality and sleep efficiency were the most severely affected. Of the 101 IBS patients,the symptom of 13 cases was mild,63 cases was moderate and 25 cases was severe. IBS-SSS score was 253. 00 ± 72. 58. Correlation analysis showed that anxiety,depression were negatively correlated with life quality(r = - 0. 426,P < 0. 001;r = - 0. 501,P < 0. 001)and positively correlated with sleep quality(r = 0. 556, P = 0. 000;r = 0. 513,P = 0. 000)and symptom severity(r = 0. 231,P = 0. 020;r = 0. 357,P < 0. 001). Life quality was negatively correlated with symptom severity(r = - 0. 417,P < 0. 001). Conclusions:IBS patients have psychological abnormalities and their life and sleep qualities are decreased,the more serious the psychological abnormalities,the more damage on life and sleep qualities and the more severe the IBS symptoms.

Objective To evaluate surgical approach,safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal excavation (ESE) for the treatment of gastric submucosal tumors originated from the muscularis propria layer.Methods Fifty-three patients with submucosal tumors of the stomach diagnosed by gastroscope,were examined using endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) from February 2012 to April 2013.The patients were completed ESE at general anesthesia.Results The diameter of the tumor was from 5 to 35 mm (median 13.2 mm).The tumors of 48 patients were complete resection,the complete resection rate was 90.6％(48/53).The operation time was from 30 to 150 min (median 45 min).Three patients (5.7％,3/53) had impulsivity hemorrhage during ESE,no patients had unmanageable hemorrhea under the gastroscope.Perforation occurred in 6 patients during ESE,perforation rate was 11.3％ (6/53),the perforation was closed by endoclip in 5 patients.Five patients with inability resection and 1 patient with perforation inability closed were treated with surgical operation.None was developed perforation postoperative and hemorrhea.Conclusion ESE is a safety and efficacy method for treating gastric submucosal tumors originating from the muscularis propria layer.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal excavation in the treatment of suhmucosal tumor.Methods From 2010 to 2013,a total of 108 cases of suhmucosal tumor detected by endoscopic,endoscopic ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) scan,most of which grew toward the lumen,were treated by endoscopic suhmucosal excavation.After the lesions were completely excavated,pathological examination were performed.All the cases were followed up with endoscopic examination at one,three,six,12 and 24 months after operation.Results Among 108 cases of lesions,27 cases were located in esophagus,eight in cardia,59 in stomach,two in duodenum and 12 cases in rectum.The diameters of the lesions ranged from 0.5 to 5.5 cm (median 2.1 cm).Operation time was between 18 and 240 minutes (median 105 minutes).The endoscopic treatment was converted to laparoscopic operation in three cases because the submucosal tumors of gastric body growing towards outside the lumen,or adhesive to muscular layer tightly and or perforation too big to be sutured.Three cases of submucosal tumor of fundus were failed to excavate,the other 102 cases (94.44％) of lesions were completely removed.Perforation occurred in 19 cases (17.59％).The procedure was converted to laparoscopic operation in one case.Effective endoscopic suture was complered in 18 cases.The volume of haemorrhage during operation was about 0 to 50 mL and no post-operational bleeding was found.Eight cases had cervical subcutaneous emphysema.Nine cases had pneumoperitoneum.Left parotid gland swollen was found in one case.Nine cases were lost to follow up.The left 99 cases were followed up for one to 24 months and no recurrence.Conclusion ndoscopic submucosal excavation safety and effectively achieve once complete removed of the big submucosal tumor which grows towards inside the lumen,and provide complete pathologic data.
