149 patients with gastric epithelioma indicated the total gastrectomy in the army central hospital 108 during 1994-2000. The esophago-intestinal anastomotic leakage, a severe complication occurred in 2 patients among group received the esophago-intestinal anastomosis as method of omega. There was no this complication in group received the operation as method of lygidakis (making the false stomach). This study indicated that technique of anastomosis played an important role in the esophago-intestinal anastomotic leakage.

149 patients with gastric epithelioglandular cancer were operated for the total gastrectomy in the Army Central Hospital No 108 from 1/1994 to 1/200 (male: 86; female: 63), average ages: 50, divided 2 groups according to the 2 methods of the different digestive circulation recovering. The results have shown that the rate of the tumors in the determined positions as vertical axis and perimeter of stomach the average size of the tumor, the average duration of operation and the rate of accidents were not different between two groups. The average rate of accident during operation was 6,7%, the rate of surgical complication was 18,1%.There was no death.

A retrospeclive study was performed in 455 (282 males and 173 females) cases of gastric cancer presenting between 1990 and 1999. The average age of the patient was 52.17; a range of 16 to 80 years. 143 of these patients underwent subtotal gastrectomy. The postoperative morbidity and mortality common rates were 25/455 (5.4%) and 4/455 (0.8%). The morbidity and mortality rates were 11/143 (7.69%) and 1/143 (0.69%) for total gastrectomy cases. The morbidity and mortality rates were 14/312 (4.48%) and 3/312 (0.96%) for subtotal gastrectomy cases. The rate of anastigmatic leakage, stump of duodenum leakage, pancreatitis acute was 5/455 (1.09%), 2/455 (0.43%) and 2/455 (0.43%). They are main mortality causes.

OBJECTIVETo investigate cachexia in hospitalized patients with digestive system cancer and evaluate its impact on clinical outcomes.

METHODSBy analyzing the clinical data of 5118 hospitalized patients with digestive system cancer in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from January 2012 to December 2013, cachexia was investigated and clinical outcomes between cachexia patients and non-cachexia patients was compared.

RESULTSThe total cachexia rate of hospitalized patients with digestive system cancer was 15.7%(803/5118). The highest rate of cachexia was 34.0%(89/262) in patients with pancreatic cancer followed by gastric cancer 22.4%(261/1164), colon cancer 21.7%(146/672), and rectal cancer 20.1%(117/581). In cachexia group and non-cachexia group, the overall completion rate of radical resection was 67.1%(539/803) and 74.5%(3214/4315) respectively(P<0.05). Compared to the non-cachexia group, the cachexia group was associated with longer postoperative hospital stay [(11.5±6.2) d vs. (9.4±4.9) d, P<0.05], slower postoperative recovery of bowel function [(3.4±0.9) d vs. (3.2±0.8) d, P<0.05], longer postoperative time to intake of semifluid [(4.4±1.5) d vs. (3.9±1.1) d, P<0.05], and more postoperative complications within 28 days after radical surgery [8.9%(48/539) vs. 5.8%(186/3214), P<0.05]. After radical surgery, the ICU admission rate of the cachexia group [24.3%(131/539)] was higher than that of the non-cachexia group [20.1%(646/3214)] with significant difference(P<0.05). Compared to non-cachexia group, the reoperation rate [3.2%(17/539) vs. 1.5%(48/3214), P<0.05], ventilator support rate [8.0%(43/539)vs. 5.7%(184/3214), P<0.05] and mortality [2.4%(13/539) vs. 1.1%(35/3214), P<0.05] in the cachexia group were all significantly higher(all P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSCachexia is commen in patients with digestive system cancer. Cachexia has significant adverse effects on clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients with digestive system cancer.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the clinicopathological factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in early gastric cancer (EGC), including age, gender, location, size, macroscopic type, depth of invasion, histological type, and lymphatic invasion, and the regulation of LNM in EGC.

DATA SOURCESThe data used in this review were mainly from PubMed articles published in English. The search terms were "early gastric cancer" and "lymph node metastasis".

STUDY SELECTIONArticles were selected if they reported the clinicopathological factors and regulation of LNM in EGC.

RESULTSThe prognosis of EGC is better than advanced gastric cancer, with over 90% 5-year survival rate. The main risk factors for LNM in EGC are tumor size, macroscopic type, depth of invasion, histological type, ulceration, and lymphatic invasion.

CONCLUSIONSLNM in EGC is a critical factor for assessment of prognosis and determination of therapeutic strategy. Endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection should be considered when patients have low risk of LNM.
