Objective To design an appropriate preoperative questionnaire in Chinese bariatric surgery.Methods Bariatric surgery center carried out laparoscopic bariatric operation from January 2010,preoperative questionnaire before the operation were supplied.Till January 2014,a total of 401 patients replied to the survey.The questionnaires were designed through three stages:translated from the Cleveland Clinic (USA) and applied in 30 patients for the first survey; adjustments and changes to the contents of the questionnaire for 90 patients according to Chinese conditions in the second phase; in the third stage,the third edition questionnaire was used in 281 patients.The satisfaction degree of the doctors and patients about the content of the questionnaire was evaluated.Results For the three versions of the questionnaire,the doctor satisfaction rate was 73.3％,86.7％ and 96.8％.Patients' satisfaction rate of three versions were 30.0％,40.0％,76.9％,not satisfactory rate was 20.0％,11.1％,2.8％.Conclusions The current preoperative questionnaire includes 11 categories with 101 items of the third edition,doctors and patients satisfaction rate is higher,and it is suitable for Chinese bariatric surgery.

Background Randomized controlled trial (RCT) can offer high quality of evidence for the medical decisions.Consolidated standards of reporting trials (CONSORT) statement,an international criteria for RCT report,is a guideline and methodology of RCT report.However,the assessment and application of RCT according to CONSORT are dissatisfactory in China.Objective This study was to evaluate the reporting quality of ophthalmic diseases related RCTs published in SCI journals from mainland China and offer a good methodology of RCT report.Methods The RCT literature were searched on PubMed database according to Ophthalmology, Eye and all of their inferior subjective terms,and the published papers were limited in mainland China and before March,2013.Included papers were evaluated independently and checked by two searchers.The methodology and results of all retrieved papers were stratifiedly analyzed by the year of CONSORT published and revised.Results Sixty eligible RCTs were assessed,and the intervention methods were primarily surgery trials (34/60).Forty-four papers presented the comparison study of two groups with the median sample size of 76.0.Only 22％ (13/60) trial reports gave the clear identification of RCT in the title.Majority of papers described trial design,eligibility criteria for participants,detail of interventions and outcome measures.Twelve pieces of articles reported how sample size was determined,and 41 pieces referred settings and locations,but only 6 pieces recorded interim analyses and stopping guidelines.After CONSORT 2010 Statement was published,the proportion of trial reports that included details of the randomization had little improvement (RR=1.06,95％ CI:0.62-1.82).Only 42％ trial reports (25/60) offered a description about blinding method.Conclusions RCT reports related to ophthalmic diseases from mainland China in SCI journals are still flawed with certain shortcomings.Following the guidance of the CONSORT statement can improve the quality of ophthalmic diseases related RCT from mainland China.

Objective To explore the incidence,clinical features,causes,treatment method and risk factors of 30-day readmission after bariatric and metabolic surgery.Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinical data of 631 obese patients who underwent bariatric and metabolic surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from May 2010 to May 2016 were collected.All the 631 patients underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB).Patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview for 1 month to detect readmission of patients up to June 2016.Observation indicators:(1) 30-day readmission situations after bariatric and metabolic surgery:cases with readmission,readmission time,clinical features,causes and treatment of readmission;(2) risk factors analysis affecting 30-day readmission after bariatric and metabolic surgery.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were respectively done using the chi-square test and Logistic regression model.Results (1) Thirty-day readmission situations after bariatric and metabolic surgery:among 631 patients receiving postoperative 1-months follow-up,21 had 30-day readmission,with an incidence of 3.33％ (21/631),including 13 males and 8 females;10 received LSG and 11 received LRYGB.The median readmission time of 21 patients was 12 days (range,4-30 days).Of 21 patients,nausea,vomiting and dehydration of the main manifestations were detected in 11 patients,gastrointestinal bleeding in 6 patients,high fever in 2 patients,bowel obstruction in 1 patient and abdominal pain in 1 patient.The causes of the readmission of 21 patients:8 had improper food intake including 5 with premature solid food intake,1 with premature semi-fluid food intake,1 with irritating food intake and 1 with swallowing whole tablets;3 had postoperative over-anxiety;1 had Petersen hiatal hernia;1 had anastomotic ulcer;1 had anastomotic edema;1 had abdominal abscess.Of 6 patients with uncertain causes,4 had gastrointestinal bleeding and didn't receive endoscopy;1 had postoperative unexplained abdominal pain and underwent laboratory and imaging examinations and gastroscopy,showing no trouble finding;1 had high fever,and no abnormality was detected by imaging examination.Of 21 patients,19 underwent conservative treatment (rehydration and acid suppression) and then discharged from hospital after improvement,without readmission;1 with abdominal abscess was cured after emergency debridement and drainage;1 with Petersen hiatal hernia was cured by emergency surgery.The median duration of hospital stay in 21 patients with readmission was 7 days (range,3-40 days).(2) Risk factors analysis affecting 30-day readmission after bariatric and metabolic surgery:the results of univariate analysis showed that gender,preoperative adephagia habit and duration of postoperative hospital stay were related factors affecting 30-day readmission after bariatric and metabolic surgery (x2 =5.330,6.498,4.574,P＜0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that male and preoperative adephagia habit were independent risk factors affecting 30-day readmission after bariatric and metabolic surgery (OR=2.489,2.912,95％ confidence interval:1.006-6.161,1.196-7.088,P＜0.05).Conclusions Nausea,vomiting and dehydration are common manifestations of patients with 30-day readmission after bariatric and metabolic surgery,and it might be associated with improper food intake.Male and preoperative adephagia habit are independent risk factors affecting 30-day readmission after bariatric and metabolic surgery.

Objective To determine the optimal cutoff value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and amylase in cyst fluid for mucinous cystic neoplasm,to explore the difference of cutoff value of CEA between Chinese and western populations and the diagnostic accuracy of CEA combined with amylase for mucinous pancreatic cysts.Methods A total of 116 patients received EUS-FNA in Chinese PLA General Hospital from April 2014 to May 2016 with cyst fluid for biochemical and histological examinations and biopsy for pathological examination.The optimal value of amylase and CEA for mucinous pancreatic cysts were obtained from receiver operator characteristics curve of CEA and amylase.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of CEA,amylase and combination of both were calculated.Results Diagnosis of 70 patients were confirmed by surgery,forceps or cytology.There were 32 cases of non-mucinous pancreatic cysts including 6 pseudocysts and 26 serous cystadenoma.There were 38 cases of mucinous pancreatic cysts including 31 mucinous cystic neoplasm and 7 intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm.The optimal cutoff of CEA was 72.35 ng/mL.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity were 84.3％,81.6％ and 87.5％ respectively.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity for mucinous cystic neoplasm were 80.0％,71.1％ and 90.6％ respectively when adopting CEA ＞ 192 ng/mL.The optimal cutoff of amylase was 461.70 IU/L,and accuracy,sensitivity and specificity were 57.1％,68.4％,43.8％ respectively.Combination of CEA＞72.35 ng/mL and amylase＜461.7 IU/L yielded higher accuracy (85.7％) and specificity (93.8％) with lower sensitivity (78.9％).Conclusion CEA can be used in the differential diagnosis of mucinous and nonmucinous pancreatic cysts.The optimal cutoff of CEA in Chinese was lower than that in western populations.And the combined analysis of CEA and amylase could increase the diagnostic accuracy.However,in order to confirm this conclusion,a study of larger scale is needed.

Background Optical nerve damage of glaucomatous eyes is associated with intracranial pressure.Conventional method of evaluating intracranial pressure is to measure cerebrospinal pressure by lumber puncture.However,the measurement of intraorbital optical nerve parameters,a novel method of evaluating intracranial pressure,is introduced in this field.Objective This study was to measure and analyze the intraorbital optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and cross sectional area (ONSA) in normal population using multi-slice spiral CT.Methods This study protocol was approved by Clinical Ethic Committee of Shenzhen Chinese Traditional Medical Hospital and followed Hersinki Declaration.Informed consent was obtained from each individual prior to any medical examination.One hundred and five eyes of 105 normal persons with normal cerebral CT image were enrolled in Shenzhen Chinese Traditional Medical Hospital from January 2012 to September 2013.Cerebral volume was scanned in all the individuals by 64 slice spiral CT.The brain images were obtained for the curve planar rebuilding of intraorbital optical nerve on image post-processing workstation.The maximum and minimum of ONSD and the ONSA in axial sections at 3,6,9,12 and 15 mm far away from globe wall were measured using a standardized technique to analyze the change of optical nerve parameters at different point locations.These parameters were compared in different gender or eyes.The correlation among age and the optical nerve parameters at 3 mm far away from globe wall was evaluated by multivariate regression analysis.Results The average maximal ONSDs were (6.24±0.47), (5.56±0.44),(5.18±0.43),(4.82±0.41) and (4.69±0.41) mm;the average minimal ONSDs were (5.56±0.50),(4.97± 0.41) ,(4.55±0.35),(4.26±0.39) and (4.10±0.40) mm;the average ONSAs were (27.68±4.40),(22.02±3.35) , (18.74± 2.75) , (16.34±2.72) , (15.40±2.68) mm2 at 3,6,9,12 and 15 mm far away from posterior eyeball wall,respectively, showing significant differences in the maximal/minimal ONSDs and ONSAs among the different point locations (F =218.329,215.906,246.924, all at P =0.001).No significant differences were found in the maximal/minimal ONSDs and ONSAs between male and female or between the right eyes and left eyes (gender:t=1.805,P=0.074;t=1.930,P=0.056;t=1.329,P=0.187;eyes:t=0.724,P=0.471;t=1.562,P=0.121;t=1.424,P=0.158).No significant correlations were seen between age and maximal/minimal ONSDs or ONSAs with the coefficients of 1.873,7.415 and-0.853 correspondingly (P =0.847,0.460,0.637).Conclusions Intraorbital section of optical nerve can be rebuilt using standardized technique after scanning of 64 slice spiral CT.The cross section of intraorbital optic nerve sheath is oval in shape and the optic nerve is thinning with the increase of distance far away posterior eyeball wall in normal populatuion.

Objective To investigate the status of depression/anxiety in obese patients seeking metabolic surgery and analyze the effects of depression/anxiety on different aspects of quality of life. Methods Convenient sampling was used and 117 metabolic surgery were recruited from the Department of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March to July,2017. Patient Health Questionnaire(PHQ-9),Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7),12 item Short-Form Health Survey(SF-12)and the general information and disease characteristics questionnaire were used to collect data. Results Nearly 25.6%(30/117) of the patients suffered from moderate, moderately severe and severe depression symptoms and the median and interquartile range of PHQ-9 was 6 and 7 points.16.2%(19/117)of the patients had moderate and severe anxiety symptoms and the median and interquartile range of GAD-7 was 3 and 6 points. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that scores in the physical component of the SF-12 were associated with the body mass index,the presence of comorbidities and depression,which could explain 20.0% of the total variance;the symptoms of depression and anxiety were negatively related to the mental component summary of SF-12,which could explain 49.6% of the total variance. Conclusions The present findings suggests that there is a high occurrence of depression and anxiety in metabolic surgery patients, which severely impair the patients′quality of life. As for the obese patients seeking metabolic surgery for treatment, routine screening of depression and anxiety incorporating the diagnosis of the problems are warranted.Then intervention based on the assessment can be exerted to maximize the benefit of patients undergoing the surgery in the long term.

Objective To compare the effects of 4 different shaping angle tubes on the success rate of tracheal intubation and postoperative pharyngeal complications among anesthetic beginners.Methods 160 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia,with ASA classification Ⅰ to Ⅱ,no history of difficult airway,were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the catheter shape and tip shaping angle:35°banana-shaped elbow group(A Group),50°banana-shaped bent pipe group(Group B),35°straight pipe group(Group C),50°straight pipe group(Group D),with 40 cases in each group.After induction of general anesthesia,tracheal intubation is performed using a video laryngoscope.The Cormack-Lehane grade of laryngoscope exposure,external laryngeal compression,one-time success rate of intubation and intubation time were recorded.SPO2,HR and MAP were recorded before anesthesia induction(T0),at the end of anesthesia induction drug injection(T1),immediately after intubation(T2)and 1min after intubation(T3).The incidence of pharyngeal pain and hoarseness immediately after extubation and 24 hours after operation were followed up.Results There were no statistically significant differences in Cormack-Lehane classification,HR,and MAP among the four groups of patients at each time point(P>0.05).The number of cases requiring external laryngeal compression,intubation time,first-time intubation success rate,immediate postoperative sore throat,and immediate postoperative hoarseness rates in Groups B and D were all lower than those in Groups A and C,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion When using video laryngoscope for tracheal intubation,50°banana-shaped curved tube and 50°straight tube can shorten the intubation time,reduce postoperative complications,and have no obvious hemodynamic fluctuations.

Objective To investigate the recurrence and risk factors of gastric high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia(HGIN)and early gastric cancer(EGC)after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods The clinical and follow-up data on 444 patients(451 lesion)with HGIN and EGC undergoing ESD in Digestive Endoscopy Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from November 2006 to January 2016 were summarized, and the risk factors of recurrence were analyzed. Results A total of 410 patients were followed-up, and the recurrence rate was 3.2%(13 patients, 13 lesions), with mean recurrence time of 17.6±9.6 months(6-38 months). Univariate and multivariate analysis revealed that the size of the lesion>4.0 cm was the only risk factor of recurrence(P=0.012,OR=10.855,95%CI:1.673~70.442). Conclusion The rate of recurrence is increasing with the EGC extending, therefore, postoperative monitoring should be strengthened to patients with larger lesion.

Objective:To investigate the bleeding characteristic and influencing factors after bariatric surgery.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 3 371 patients with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from May 2010 to August 2021 were collected. There were 903 males and 2 468 females, aged 31(16?65)years. Observation indicators: (1) occurrence, diagnosis and treatment of bleeding after bariatric surgery; (2) analysis of influencing factors for bleeding after bariatric surgery. (3) Follow-up. Follow-up was conducted through outpatient examinations, telephone interview or WeChat to detect total weight loss rate, resolution of hypertension and remission of type 2 diabetes of the patients with bleeding after bariatric surgery. The follow-up was up to August 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were represented as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed by the chi-square test. Ordinal data were analzyed by the non-parametric rank sum test. Univariate analysis was conducted using the corresponding statistical methods based on data type. The binary Logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis. Results:(1) Occurrence, diagnosis and treatment of bleeding after bariatric surgery. There were 27 of 3 371 patients diagnosed with postoperative bleeding, including 13 males and 14 females. There were 18 cases of abdominal bleeding and 9 cases of gastrointestinal bleeding. Among the 27 patients with postoperative bleeding, 8 cases were diagnosed with bleeding on the day after operation, 13 cases were diagnosed on the first day after operation, 4 casess were diagnosed on the second day, and 2 cases were diagnosed on the third day or later. Among the 27 patients with postoperative bleeding, 24 cases had tachycardia as the main clinical manifestation, 11 patients had abnormal abdominal drainage with the drainage volume as 300(range, 100?600)mL, 6 cases had hematocheziain with the volume as 500(range, 120?1 000)mL, 5 cases were manifested as hypotension, 3 cases had hematemesis with the volume as 300(range, 50?800)mL, 2 cases had a significant decrease in hemoglobin on the first day after operation. One patient may have multiple clinical manifestations. Among the 27 patients with postoperative bleeding, 6 cases with abdominal bleeding received emergency laparotomy due to continuous increase of abdominal drainage or hemorrhagic shock, of which one patient died of heart failure after emergency reoperation. The time between primary and secondary operation was 13.5(range, 2.0?45.0)hours, and the volume of blood accumulation was 1 000(range, 600?7 000)mL. The bleeding sites were identified in 5 patients during reoperation, including 2 cases of staple line bleeding after sleeve gastrectomy, 1 case of lesser sac bleeding after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, 1 case of short gastric vessel bleeding and 1 case of trocar site bleeding. One patient had no obvious active bleeding during reoperation. The remaining 12 cases of abdominal bleeding and 9 cases of gastrointestinal bleeding were treated by conservative therapy. The duration of bleeding lasted for (2.1±0.7)days. (2) Analysis of influencing factors for bleeding after bariatric surgery. Results of univariate analysis showed that gender, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, surgical type were the related factors that affected the bleeding after bariatric surgery ( χ2=6.33, 42.16, 4.49, 14.09, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis indicated that surgical type was a independent factor affecting postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing bariatric surgery ( odds ratio=1.69, 95% confidence interval as 1.18?2.41, P<0.05). (3) Follow-up. All the 27 patients were followed up for 16(1?62)months. Eighteen patients reached or exceeded the 12 months follow-up time point. The 1-year total weight loss rate was 36%±12%, the resolution proportion of hypertension was 8/11, and the complete remission proportion of type 2 diabetes was 6/7. Six patients reached or exceeded the 36 months follow-up time point. The 3-year total weight loss rate was 35%±12%, the resolution proportion of hypertension was 4/5, and the complete remission proportion of type 2 diabetes was 1/1. Conclusions:The incidence of post-operative bleeding after bariatric surgery is low. Tachycardia, abnormal abdominal drainage and hypotension have sentinel functions. Surgical type is a independent factor affecting bleeding after bariatric surgery.

Metabolic surgery is a gastrointestinal surgical procedure to treat obesity and its related co-morbidities with rapid development in recent years. Patients undergoing metabolic surgery have preoperative nutritional disorders, and the nutrition management for these patients is the key point of perioperative management. During the perioperative period, current research has preliminarily confirmed that perioperative managements including supplementation of micronutrients, preoperative evaluation of the weight loss, preoperative fasting and carbohydrate oral intake based on the full application of ERAS and characteristics of the patients undergoing metabolic surgery, are safe and effective in clinical practice. As for the postoperative diet strategy, current literature remains non-unified to identify the duration and the content of the nutrition managements. Domestic clinical reports about the postoperative nutrition managements after metabolic surgery are rare and lack of unified and good reference standard. Meanwhile, divergence still existed in current literature regarding to the content of the postoperative nutrition managements. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the standardized protocol for nutrition managements which is offering basis and reference for the clinical application of perioperative nutrition managements after metabolic surgery.
