Objective:To explore the curative effect of surgical treatment for Crohn′s disease (CD), to investigate the timing of surgical intervention and the choice of surgical methods.Methods:From January 1, 2016 to August 31, 2020, at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, the clinical data of 123 patients with CD and receiving surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed, which included the type of lesion, the location of lesion, clinical manifestation, surgical method, preoperative inflammatory and nutritional indicators, postoperative recovery of digestive tract function, and the development and treatment of postoperative complications. CD was diagnosed according to Consensus opinion on diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease ( Beijing 2018). Patient was classitied according to the Montreal Classification. Postoperative complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo Criteria. Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis. Results:Among 123 patients, according to the Montreal classification, two cases (1.6%) were diagnosed at ≤16 years old (type A1), 66 cases (53.7%) were diagnosed at 17 to 40 years old (type A2), and 55 cases (44.7%) were diagnosed at >40 years old (type A3). The lesions were 52 cases (42.3%) of terminal ileum (L1) type, 20 cases (16.3%) of colon (L2) type, and 51 cases (41.5%) of ileocolon (L3) type. Four cases (3.2%) were non-stenosis and non-penetrating (B1) type, 87 cases (70.7%) were stenosis (B2) type, and 32 cases (26.0%) were penetrating (B3) type. Eighteen patients (14.6%) underwent emergency surgery due to complete intestinal obstruction (10 cases), gastrointestinal perforation (five cases), gastrointestinal bleeding (two cases), and rectovesical fistula complicated with septic shock (one case). One hundred and five patients (85.4%) received selective surgery due to poor conservative treatment effects. 51 cases (41.5%) underwent traditional open surgery and 72 cases (58.5%) underwent laparoscopic surgery. Nineteen patients (15.4%) received temporary or permanent ostomy. The preoperative C reactive protein level of patients with emergency surgery was higher than that of patients undergoing selective surgery ((39.23±24.13) mg/L vs. (11.48±2.68) mg/L), while the levels of plasma albumin (ALB) and pre-ALB were lower than those of patients receiving selective surgery ((29.90±10.60) g/L vs. (38.38±8.30) g/L, (146.00±125.49) mg/L vs. (209.06±61.19) mg/L), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=9.603, 8.754 and 7.111, all P<0.01). During the follow-up, a total of 23 cases (18.7%) developed postoperative complications, including one case of postoperative intra-abdominal hemorrhage and underwent re-operation (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ complication); four cases of anastomotic leakage after operation; six cases of postoperative paralytic ileus; 11 cases of surgical site infection, all of which were Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ complications, and one case of deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity. No patient with severe intraoperative complication was observed, and no patients died during the operation or hospitalization. The postoperative exhaust time of patients was (3.2±1.4) d, the time of open fluid diet was (5.8±0.8) d, the length of hospital stay was (18.0±14.1) d, and the length of postoperative hospital stay was (11.2±8.8) d. Conclusions:The concept of multidisciplinary collaboration should be emphasized in the treatment of CD. Surgical treatment can effectively control the complications and improve the quality of life of patients, but the timing of operation and the choice of surgical methods should be decided prudently after perioperative treatment, multi-disciplinary participated and regulation of the internal environment. The standardized and targeted treatments for the surgical difficulties of inflammatory bowel disease should be conducted.

ObjectiveTo describe different non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) outcomes among community inhabitants, and further to explore the correlation between bio-indicator level variance and the outcomes. MethodsPhysical indicators (height, weight, waist circumstances, hip circumstances, blood pressure, etc), biochemical indicators [fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, serum triglycerides(TG), serum total cholesterol(TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), liver related transaminase, etc] and clinical imaging (B-scan ultrasonography) were collected during the follow-up from the Songjiang Natural Population Sub-cohort. The identification of NAFLD was supported by the definition criteria from Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of non⁃alcoholic fatty liver disease. Paired t-test and multifactorial logistic regression model were used to compare the difference between the indicator level of the subjects from different outcome subgroups and to further analyze the correlation between these indicator variance and different NAFLD outcomes. ResultsDuring a median follow-up time of 2.94 years, 12 076 subjects were involved. The cumulative NAFLD incidence and remission rate were 21.57% and 31.15%, respectively. The proportion of subjects who still had NAFLD was 27.96%. Among subjects with newly-developed NAFLD, indicators including blood pressure, BMI, fasting plasma glucose, and plasma lipid level increased, while in the remission subgroup, blood pressure, BMI(WHR), waist-hip ratio(WHR), and TG level were significantly decreased. Increased level of systolic pressure, WHR, BMI, HbA1c, and LDL-C might be the risk factors to the occurrence of NAFLD. While decreased level of WHR, BMI, TC and LDL-C level and elevated HDL-C level were likely to be the influencing factors of NAFLD remission process. ConclusionThe NAFLD morbidity in the community inhabitants is relatively high. BMI, WHR, fasting plasma sugar and plama lipid level variance may act as the influencing factors towards different NAFLD outcomes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the comorbidity of community patients with stroke in Songjiang District, Shanghai, determine the prevalence and characteristics of comorbidities and influencing factors, and provide scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of stroke. MethodsA natural population-based cohort study was conducted in several communities of Songjiang District from April 2016 to October 2017. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and biochemical examination were conducted in the cohort population to understand the comorbidity of 1 523 patients with stroke at baseline. ResultsThe prevalence of comorbidities in community patients with stroke was 74.0%, which was higher in female (76.36%) than that in male (70.76%). The average number of comorbidities was 2.62±1.56, which was significantly higher in female (2.70±1.58) than that in male (2.52±1.54) (t=-2.31, P=0.021). In this population, the most common two-comorbidity combination was hypertension+central obesity (35.85%), and the most common three-comorbidity combination was hypertension+dyslipidemia+central obesity (17.20%), with statistically significant differences by gender and age groups (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥65 years, urban population, hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), and family history of hypertension were risk factors associated with comorbidities, whereas educational level of middle school and high school, and physical exercise 1‒3 days per week were protective factors. ConclusionPrevalence of comorbidity is high in community patients with stroke in Songjiang District, Shanghai. It is suggested to control blood pressure and body weight, adopt healthy lifestyle and take comprehensive prevention and treatment measures in this population.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanism of luteolin on osteogenic repair of bone defects. METHODS The targets and potential pathways of luteolin in the treatment of bone defects were screened by network pharmacology method, and then the top 2 targets were selected by Hub gene screening for molecular docking verification, with binding energy as the evaluation standard. In vitro experiments were conducted on rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) and rat umbilical vein endothelial cells (RUVEC). Phenotypic validation was performed using alkaline phosphatase staining, alizarin red S staining, and in vitro angiogenesis experiments. Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expressions of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase 1 (Akt1), so as to validate the mechanism of luteolin on osteogenic differentiation of BMSC and angiogenesis of RUVEC in vitro. RESULTS The results of network pharmacology showed that the effects of luteolin on vascular formation and bone repair in bone defects were mainly related to Akt1, SRC, estrogen receptor 1, epidermal growth factor receptor, cyclooxygenase 2, matrix metalloproteinase 9 targets, and were closely related to PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. The results of molecular docking showed that luteolin binding to Akt1 and SRC proteins was stable. The results of in vitro experiments showed that luteolin could significantly improve the expressions and activities of alkaline phosphatase in BMSC, increased the number of calcium salt deposits and calcified nodules, and promoted calcification of BMSC. Compared with luteolin 0 μmol/L group, the angiogenesis ability of RUVEC was enhanced significantly in luteolin 1, 10 μmol/L groups, the length of blood vessels and the protein expressions of PI3K and Akt1 were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the higherthe concentration, the better the effect. CONCLUSIONS Luteolin may play a role in promoting angiogenesis and bone repair at the fracture site by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and promoting the protein expressions of PI3K and Akt1.
