Objective To investigate the correlation among mammographic features、pathology and molecu-lar biology markers of breast infitrating ductal carcinoma(IDC) tissues.Methods The mammographic features of 93 cases with IDC confirmed by surgery and histopathology were analyzed retrospectively.The mastectomy specimens of the IDC were stained with immunohistochemistry,and the expression of ER、PR、C-erbB-2 were measured.The rela-tionship between the immunohistochemical pathologic results and mammographic features was analyzed.Results A-mong the 93 cases of IDC,ER positive expression was positively correlated with the spiculate margin of breast cancer (P<0.05);C-erbB-2 positive expression was positively correlated(P<0.05).Moreover,ER and PR positive expres-sion showed a significant inverse correlation with the calcifying of breast cancer(P>0.05);ER and PR positive ex-pression was positively correlated with the transfer of lymph(P<0.05);there existed correlation between the positive expression of C-erbB-2 and lymphatic metastasis and pathohistology grade(P<0.05).Conclusion There was a pos-itive correlation among IDC mammography、pathology and the abnormal value of ER、PR and C-erbB-2.The X-ray mammography could reflect the diagnosis value of ER、PR and C-erbB-2 roughly,and thadpractical value in determi-ning prognoses and endocrinotherapy.

Objective:To explore the status of depression symptoms and related factors of depressive symptoms in middle-aged and elderly disabled people in China and provide references on the preventive cares of depression.Methods:Research data were obtained from the 2018 follow-up data of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS).Disabled people were selected as the research object. The scores of center for epidemiological studies depression scale(CES-D) were used to evaluate depressive symptoms. Fourteen variables derived from the 3 dimensions of demographic characteristics, health status, and health related behaviors were utilized in this study.SAS 9.4 were used for descriptive analysis, univariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 1 708 middle-aged and elderly disabled people were included, among whom 932(54.5%)were diagnosed with depressive symptoms, and the score of CES-D was (11.45±7.19).Self-rated poor health, self-rated poor memory, life dissatisfaction, physical pain were the risk factors of depressive symptoms ( OR=1.87, 4.22, 1.83, 5.30, 1.75). Male, educational level (middle-high school, high school or above), sleeping duration (6-9 h) were the protective factors of depressive symptoms( OR=0.74, 0.72, 0.10, 0.56). Conclusion:Middle-aged and elderly disabled people in China have a high detection rate of depressive symptoms. Female, lower education background, inadequate amount of sleep, self-rated unsatisfactory healthy, self-rated poor memory, dissatisfaction towards life and suffering from physical pain may be more likely to have depressive symptoms in middle-aged and elderly people with disabilities.

Objective To investigate the benefits of replanning after induction chemotherapy(IC) by analyzing the dosimetric impact of IC on intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)and the dosimetric characteristics of replanning after IC, and to provide data for the rational design of clinical radiotherapy plans. Methods 16 NPC patients underwent contrast-enhanced CT scan once before and after IC.Target volumes were delineated and the chemotherapy plans were created,defined as Plan-1 and Plan-2,respectively. Then the target structure after IC was copied to Plan-1, generating the third plan, defined as Plan-1-2. The paired t-test was used to compare the dosimetric parameters between Plan-1 and Plan-1-2 and between Plan-2 and Plan-1-2. Results Plan-1 vs. Plan-1-2:Plan-1-2 showed significantly reduced D meanof target volume compared with Plan-1(P<0.05). Plan-1-2 significantly increased D meanand D maxof the spinal cord(P<0.05),although significantly reduced D mean of the brain stem and D maxof the temporal lobes compared with Plan-1. Plan-1-2 also had significantly reduced conformity index(CI)and significantly increased homogeneity index(HI)for the target volume compared with Plan-1(P<0.05). Plan-2 vs. Plan-1-2:Compared with Plan-1-2, Plan-2 significantly increased D meanand D minof gross tumor volume(GTV)and primary GTV(P<0.05)and significantly reduced D meanof the temporal lobes and D maxand D meanof the spinal cord(P<0.05), with D max decreased to 430.48 cGy;Plan-2 had significantly increased CI and significantly reduced HI for the target volume compared with Plan-1-2(all P<0.05). Conclusions IMRT plan-1 after IC has worse dosimetric distribution,while replanning after IC has more dosimetric benefits.

Chronic radiation enteropathy(CRE) represents a latent intestinal injury resulting from abdominal-pelvic radiotherapy. Severe complications like refractory bleeding, intestinal obstruction, perforation and fistula may occur during CRE progression. Surgical treatment is the most effective way to handle these complications. Since radiotherapy has become an important and common way to relieve or even cure many malignant tumors, the incidence of severe complications of CRE is likely to rise. Thus the value of surgical treatment in managing severe complications of CRE should gain more attention. Through the literature review combined with our clinical experience, this paper analyzes the preoperative management and surgical treatment of five long-term complications of CRE, including obstruction, enteric fistula, rectovaginal fistula, perforation and bleeding. Also we propose that when managing patients with severe complications of CRE, clinicians should carefully master the surgical indications, consummate perioperative management, design personal surgical plan according to patient's condition and make improving the quality of life of patients the ultimate purpose of surgical treatment for CRE while assuring its safety.

Objective To investigate the dietary intakes of postoperative patients with digestive malignant tumor during their recovery at home and explores the correlation of the intakes with the food nutritional knowledge of their primary family care-givers.Methods A total of 108 primary caregivers of prospective patients with digestive malignant tumors were selected for a sur-vey conducted at home from October 2022 to March 2023 in Guangzhou,from two tertiary hospitals.In this cross-sectional study,this paper investigated these caregivers using its general information questionnaire,a nutritional knowledge-attitude-behavior ques-tionnaire,and a simple dietary self-assessment tool(SDSAT).Results The SDSAT score of the patients was collected(4.16±1.22).Significant differences were observed among patients with various tumor types in terms of the recovery time at home after surgery.The total score of family primary caregivers'nutritional knowledge,attitude,and behavior was(47.64±6.97).Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between the knowledge of dietary guidelines and the patient's dietary intakes during home stay(r=0.285,P＜0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that caregivers'knowledge of dieta-ry guidelines significantly influenced the dietary intake of the prospective patients.Conclusion It is essential to regularly monitor the dietary intake of prospective patients at home.Medical personnel can concentrate on intervening with the patient's caregivers and encouraging them to participate in nutrition management together.This approach can improve the quality of family care and the nutritional status of the patients.

Objective? To evaluate the Chinese version of Glaucoma Quality of Life 17 (Glau-QoL17) by item analysis on each item using item response theory(IRT), so as to provide tools in life quality evaluation in patients with glaucoma in China. Methods? By convenience sampling, 198 glaucoma patients admitted in the outpatient department of Opthalmic Center affiliated to Sun Yat-Sen University from May 2017 to July 2018 were selected and their life quality were evaluated by using the Chinese version of Glau-QoL17. MULTILOG 7.0 was used to analyze the collected data in IRT and calculate the discrimination and difficulty parameters of each item. Results? The Chinese version of Glau-QoL17 had good discrimination. The discrimination parameter (α) ranged from 1.50 to 5.23, and the difficulty increased monotonously. Except for the entry "Are you afraid of surgeries?", the other items ranged from-3 to 3; the coverage area under the item information curve was relatively large except for item "Currently, I am very well-informed about my visual problems." Conclusions? The Chinese version of Glau-QoL17 can be used in the evaluation of the glaucoma patients' quality of life in our country, however, it still needs further modification on its content so as to improve the accuracy of the evaluation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of multiparameteric quantitative ultrasound combined with a non-invasive prediction model for assessing high-risk steatohepatitis.Methods:One hundred and ninety-four cases with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) who underwent liver biopsy in Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, from June 2021 to September 2022 were selected. Shear wave elastography (SWE), shear wave dispersion (SWD) imaging, and attenuation imaging (ATI) examinations were conducted in all patients before biopsy. High-risk steatohepatitis was defined as a total activity score of ≥4 in patients with steatohepatitis, hepatocellular ballooning, and liver lobular inflammation based on pathological hepatic steatosis, inflammatory activity, and fibrosis scoring system (SAF), and fibrosis stage≥F2. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors influencing high-risk steatohepatitis. A predictive model for diagnosing high-risk steatohepatitis was constructed using R language. The DeLong test was used to compare the area under the curve between groups. Measurement data was compared between groups using the t-test or rank-sum test, and count data were compared between groups using the χ2 test. Results:There were 46 cases (23.7%) with high-risk steatohepatitis. The quantitative ultrasound parameters included elastic modulus ( OR=2.958, 95% CI: 1.889-4.883, P<0.001), dispersion coefficient ( OR=1.786, 95% CI: 1.424-2.292, P<0.001) and attenuation coefficient ( OR=42.642, 95% CI: 3.463-640.451, P=0.004). Serological indexes of fasting blood glucose ( OR=1.196, 95% CI: 1.048-1.392, P=0.011), alanine aminotransferase ( OR=1.012, 95% CI: 1.006-1.019, P<0.001), aspartate aminotransferase ( OR=1.027, 95% CI: 1.014-1.042, P<0.001), γ-glutamyl transferase ( OR=1.008, 95% CI: 1.001-1.017, P=0.041) and HDL cholesterol ( OR=0.087, 95% CI: 0.016-0.404, P=0.003) were the factors influencing its progression. The AUCs of elastic modulus, dispersion coefficient, attenuation coefficient, multiparametric ultrasound model, serological index model, and ultrasound combined with serology model for the diagnosis of high-risk steatohepatitis were 0.764, 0.758, 0.634, 0.786, 0.773 and 0.825, respectively. The results of the DeLong test showed that the ultrasound combined with the serological model was significantly better than the serological index model and the elastic modulus, dispersion coefficient, and attenuation coefficient alone ( P=0.024, 0.027, 0.038 and <0.001). Conclusion:The combination of multiparametric quantitative ultrasound is helpful for the non-invasive diagnosis of high-risk steatohepatitis and possesses great clinical significance.

Objective: To explore clinical features and prognosis factors of surgical complications after intersphincteric resection (ISR) for low rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Methods: The clinical data of 132 patients with low rectal cancer who underwent ISR following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy from September 2010 to June 2017 at Department of Colorectal Surgery, Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively reviewed. There were 100 males and 32 females, with the age of (52.9±11.4) years and distance to anal verge of 3.9 cm. Records of perioperative complication (POC) within 30 days after surgery, anastomotic leakage (AL), and anastomotic stenosis (AS) were analyzed. POC was recorded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. AL was graded by ISREC system and classified into the early AL within 30 days after surgery and delayed AL beyond 30 days. AS was defined as narrowing of the bowel lumen at the anastomosis that prevented passage through a colonoscope with a 12 mm diameter. According to the shape of narrowing, AS was recorded as the stenosis in situ or stenosis with long-segment bowel above. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify risk factors of anastomotic complications. Results: Among the 132 patients, full-dose radiotherapy and diverting stoma were performed in 128 (97.0%) patients, respectively. In entire cohort, AL was found in 41 (31.1%) patients, including 32 patients with clinical leakage (24.2%). The median time for diagnosis of AL was 37 days (2 to 214 days) after surgery. There were 25 patients (18.9%) who were diagnosed with delayed AL beyond 30 days. Chronic presacral sinus formation was detected in 22 of 129 (17.1%) patients at 12 months from surgery. Among the 128 eligible patients, 36 (28.1%) were diagnosed as AS, including 24 (18.8%) patients with stenosis in situ and 12 (9.4%) patients with bowel stenosis above. After a median follow-up of 26 months, 7(5.3%) patients received permanent colostomy and the other 20(15.2%) patients retained a persistent ileostomy, owing to anastomotic complications. Results of multivariate analysis showed that radiation colitis was an independent prognosis factor of AL after ISR (OR=5.04, 95% CI: 2.05 to 12.43, P=0.000); male gender (OR=5.19, 95% CI: 1.24 to 21.75, P=0.024) and AL (OR=8.49, 95% CI: 3.32 to 21.70, P=0.000) were independent prognosis factors of AS after ISR. Conclusions Surgical complications are common after ISR for low rectal cancer patients with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. A high rate of AL is observed after long-term follow-up, which is associated with AS. Increasing awareness of anastomotic complications after ISR should be raised, especially for male patients with radiation colitis.

Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of surgical treatment for chronic radiation intestinal injury. Methods: A descriptive cohort study was performed. Clinical data of 73 patients with definite radiation history and diagnosed clinically as chronic radiation intestinal injury, undergoing operation at Department of Colorectal Surgery, the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 1, 2012 to February 28, 2019, were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Patients did not undergo operation or only received adhesiolysis were excluded. All the patients had preoperative examination and overall evaluation of the disease. According to severity of intestinal obstruction and patients′ diet, corresponding nutritional support and conservative treatment were given. Surgical methods: The one-stage bowel resection and anastomosis was the first choice for surgical treatment of chronic radiation intestinal injury. Patients with poor nutritional condition were given enterostomy and postoperative enteral nutrition and second-stage stoma closure and intestinal anastomosis if nutritional condition improved. For those who were unable to perform stoma closure, a permanent stoma should be performed. Patients with severe abdominal adhesion which was difficult to separate, enterostomy or bypass surgery after adhesiolysis would be the surgical choice. For patients with tumor metastasis or recurrence, enterostomy or bypass surgery should be selected. Observation parameters: the overall and major (Clavien-Dindo grades III to V) postoperative complication within 30 days after surgery or during hospitalization; mortality within postoperative 30 days; postoperative hospital stay; time to postoperative recovery of enteral nutrition; time to removal of drainage tube. Results: Of the 73 patients who had been enrolled in this study, 10 were male and 63 were female with median age of 54 (range, 34-80) years. Preoperative evaluation showed that 61 patients had intestinal stenosis, 63 had intestinal obstruction, 11 had intestinal perforation, 20 had intestinal fistula, 3 had intestinal bleeding, and 6 had abdominal abscess, of whom 64(87.7%) patients had multiple complications. Tumor recurrence or metastasis was found in 15 patients. A total of 65(89.0%) patients received preoperative nutritional support, of whom 35 received total parenteral nutrition and 30 received partial parenteral nutrition. The median preoperative nutritional support duration was 8.5 (range, 6.0-16.2) days. The rate of one-stage intestine resection was 69.9% (51/73), and one-stage enterostomy was 23.3% (17/73). In the 51 patients undergoing bowel resection, the average length of resected bowel was (50.3±49.1) cm. Among the 45 patients with intestinal anastomosis, 4 underwent manual anastomosis and 41 underwent stapled anastomosis; 36 underwent side-to-side anastomosis, 5 underwent end-to-side anastomosis, and 4 underwent end-to-end anastomosis. Eighty postoperative complications occurred in 39 patients and the overall postoperative complication rate was 53.4% (39/73), including 39 moderate to severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade III-V) in 20 patients (27.4%, 20/73) and postoperative anastomotic leakage in 2 patients (2.7%, 2/73). The mortality within postoperative 30 days was 2.7% (2/73); both patients died of abdominal infection, septic shock, and multiple organ failure caused by anastomotic leakage. The median postoperative hospital stay was 13 (11, 23) days, the postoperative enteral nutrition time was (7.2±6.9) days and the postoperative drainage tube removal time was (6.3±4.2) days. Conclusions Surgical treatment, especially one-stage anastomosis, is safe and feasible for chronic radiation intestine injury. Defining the extent of bowel resection, rational selection of the anatomic position of the anastomosis and perioperative nutritional support treatment are the key to reduce postoperative complications.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of redo rectal resection and coloanal anastomosis.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopatholo-gical data of 49 patients who underwent redo rectal resection and coloanal anastomosis for the treatment of local recurrence of tumors and failure of colorectal or coloanal anastomosis after rectal resection in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from November 2012 to December 2021 were collected. There were 32 males and 17 females, aged 57(range,31-87)years. Redo rectal resection and coloanal anastomosis was performed according to the patient′s situations. Observa-tion indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distri-bution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages. Results:(1) Surgical situations. All 49 patients underwent redo rectal resection and coloanal anastomosis successfully, with the interval between the initial surgery and the reopera-tion as 14.2(7.1,24.3)months. The operation time and volume of intraoperative bold loss of 49 patients in the redo rectal resection and coloanal anastomosis was 313(251,398)minutes and 125(50,400)mL, respectively. Of the 49 patients, there were 38 cases receiving laparoscopic surgery including 12 cases with transanoscopic laparoscopic assisted surgery, 11 cases receiving open surgery including 2 cases as conversion to open surgery, there were 20 cases undergoing Bacon surgery, 14 cases undergoing Dixon surgery, 12 cases undergoing Parks surgery, 2 cases undergoing intersphincter resection and 1 case undergoing Kraske surgery, there were 20 cases undergoing rectum dragging out excision and secondary colonic anastomosis, 13 cases undergoing dragging out excision single anastomosis, 12 cases undergoing rectum dragging out excision double anastomosis, 4 cases undergoing first-stage manual anastomosis, there were 21 cases with enterostomy before surgery, 16 cases with prophylactic enterostomy after surgery, 12 cases without prophylactic enterostomy after surgery. The duration of postoperative hospital stay of 49 patients was (14±7)days. (2) Postoperative situations. Fifteen of 49 patients underwent postoperative complications, including 8 cases with grade Ⅱ Clevien-Dindo complications and 7 cases with ≥grade Ⅲ Clevien-Dindo complications. None of 49 patient underwent postoperative transferring to intensive care unit and no patient died during hospitalization. Results of postoperative histopathological examination in 23 patients with tumor local recurrence showed negative incision margin of the surgical specimen. (3) Follow-up. All 49 patients underwent post-operative follow-up of 90 days. There were 42 cases undergoing redo rectal resection and coloanal anastomosis successfully and 7 cases failed. Of the 37 patients with enterostomy, 20 cases failed in closing fistula, and 17 cases succeed. There were 46 patients receiving follow-up with the median time as 16.1(7.5,34.6)months. The questionnaire response rate for low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) score was 48.3%(14/29). Of the patients who underwent redo coloanal anastomosis and closure of stoma successfully, there were 9 cases with mild-to-moderate LARS.Conclusion:Redo rectal resection and coloanal anastomosis is safe and feasible for patients undergoing local recurr-ence of tumors and failure of colorectal or coloanal anastomosis after rectal resection, which can successfully restore intestinal continuity in patients and avoid permanent enterostomy.
