Objective:To observe and compare the clinical characteristics between post-chronic pancreatitis diabetes mellitus(PPDM-C)patients and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:Data of 142 cases of CP patients confirmed in Shanghai Pudong New Area Gongli Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were collected, all the patients were divided into CP group without diabetes mellitus ( n=60) and PPDM-C group with diabetes mellitus ( n=82) based on whether with or without diabetes mellitus. And 82 cases T2DM without CP (T2DM group, n=82) hospitalized simultaneously were collected as control group. The age, sex, body mass index, onset characteristics, laboratory examination indicators at admission (fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood creatinine, and alanine transaminase), imaging characteristics of the pancreas (pancreatic atrophy, multiple calcifications of the pancreas, pancreatic duct stones, pancreatic duct dilation, and pancreatic duct obstruction), and treatments and efficacy of diabetes were recorded. Results:Compared with T2DM group, PPDM-C group had lower body mass index (22.2 kg/m 2vs 24.6 kg/m 2), and glycosylated hemoglobin levels (7.34% vs 9.20%) (all P values <0.001), higher alanine transaminase levels (33.00 U/L vs 18.65 U/L, P =0.021). And they had more upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weight loss and diarrhea symptoms. In addition, they had less use of combination of insulin and hypoglycemic drugs to control blood glucose. And compared with CP group, PPDM-C group had higher body mass index (22.06 kg/m 2vs 21.18 kg/m 2), higher glycosylated hemoglobin levels (7.34% vs 5.70%), higher fasting blood-glucose levels (7.91 mmol/l vs 5.31 mmol/l), higher alanine transaminase levels (33.00 U/L vs 26.50U/L), and their differences were statistically significant (all P values <0.05). And they had higher incidence of pancreatic atrophy, multiple calcifications in the pancreatic duct and pancreatic duct obstruction (all P values <0.05). Conclusions:PPDM-C patients are more likely to experience digestive system symptoms such as abdominal pain than T2DM patients, while their pancreatic malfunction is more likely to occur compared to CP patients. More attentions to PPDM-C associated clinical manifestations, biochemical and imaging changes could identify patients at potential risk for early diagnosis and treatment earlier.

Objective To evaluate the MRI findings of synovial hemangioma.Methods Twenty-three patients with synovial hemangioma were analyzed retrospectively,and MRI characteristics were summarized.Results Of the 23 patients,there were localized type in 6 and diffuse type in 17.Localized tumors located in the articular synovial tissue and didn't invade articular capsule and peripheral tissues.T hey had envelope,well-defined margin and regular shape.5 cases showed heterogeneous signal with iso-intense or hypo-intense on T1WI,hyper-intense and internal patchy or multiple pinstripe hypo-intense on T2WI and fat-suppression sequence.Diffuse tumors distributed inside and outside the articulation,and invaded the articular capsule or peripheral tissues.17 cases were heterogeneous signal with iso-intense or hypo-intense and internal patchy or sinuous hyper-intense on T1WI,hyper-intense and internal patchy,nodular and multiple pinstripe hypo-intense on T2WI and fat-suppression sequence.Thick flow void of the vessels were showed in 6 cases and phlebolithes were showed in 3 cases.15 cases underwent contrast-enhanced scan,and the tumors showed patchy,nodular or tortuous vascular heterogeneous enhancement with internal patchy,nodular or cord-like non-enhanced areas.Conclusion Fatty-fibrous tissues and flow void of the vessels in the tumor are valuable MRI features for diagnosis of the synovial hemangioma.

ObjectiveTo analyze the trend of incidence, mortality rate and related life loss of colorectal cancer in Haishu District, Ningbo from 2017 to 2022, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. MethodsThe incidence and death data of colorectal cancer among residents in Haishu District during 2017‒2022 were collected from the Ningbo Municipal Digital Disease Prevention and Control Platform. The incidence and mortality rate, the age-specific incidence and mortality rate, potential years of life lost (PYLL), potential years of life lost rate (PYLLR), and average years of life lost (AYLL) were calculated. The standardized rate was calculated based on the standardized population from the Sixth National Census in 2010, and the annual percentage change (APC) was calculated by Joinpoint Regression Program. ResultsA total of 2 595 cases of colorectal cancer were reported in Haishu District from 2017 to 2022, with a crude incidence rate of 68.23/100 000 and a standardized incidence rate of 39.72/100 000. There were no statistical differences in crude and standardized incidence rates(APC=2.288%, -0.160%,both P>0.05). In addition, a total of 898 colorectal cancer deaths were reported, with a crude mortality rate of 23.61/100 000 and a standardized mortality rate of 12.18/100 000, of which the crude mortality rate and standardized mortality rate of males showed an upward trend (APC=10.855%, 7.895%, both P<0.05). Furthermore, the crude incidence and mortality rate of colorectal cancer in males were higher than those in females (both P<0.05). The crude incidence and mortality rate of colorectal cancer in Haishu District showed an increasing trend by age (both P<0.05). PYLL caused by colorectal cancer was 7 818.52 person-years, and AYLL was 8.71 years, with a PYLLR of 2.06‰. ConclusionThe incidence and mortality rate of colorectal cancer in Haishu District are still at a high level. Colorectal cancer screening should be continued, relevant health knowledge should be facilitated and disseminated, awareness of early screening and diagnosis of colorectal cancer should be promoted, and ultimately improving the survival rate of the patients.
