Objective To evaluate the efficacy of combined application of lactitol oral solution and polyethylene glycol electrolyte (PEG) powder compared with conventional method in bowel preparation before colonoscopy. Methods 205 patients who underwent colonoscopy were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group (n = 102) were given lactitol and polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder, whereas the patients in control group (n = 103) were given polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder only. The visibility and adverse effects during colonoscopy were observed. Results The cleaning satisfaction rate was not statistically significant between the two groups. The proportion of cleanliness to grade 1 in experimental group was higher than that in control group. The incidence of adverse effects in experimental group was lower, and there was no effect on sleeping night. The compliance and tolerance of hospitalized patients were significantly improved. Conclusion Lactitol combined with polyethylene glycol electrolyte (peg) powder is safe, effective, with low incidence of adverse effect for bowel preparation in hospitalized patients.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of white light conventional endoscopy (CE), endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and narrow-band imaging with magnifying endoscopy (ME-NBI) in evaluating the invasion depth of early gastric cardiac cancer, and to explore the diagnostic strategy of preoperative evaluation of invasive depth of early gastric cardiac cancer.Methods:From January 2016 to June 2019, the endoscopic images of 135 patients with early gastric cardiac cancer confirmed by pathology in Fujian Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Intramucosal carcinoma (M) and superficial submucosal invasive carcinoma (SM1) were classified as M-SM1 cancer and compared with deep submucosal invasive cancer. The pathological diagnosis after operation was used as gold standard. The accuracy of CE, EUS, ME-NBI and the combination of them in determining the invasion depth of early gastric cardiac cancer was evaluated. Kappa test was performed for consistency test. Kappa value < 0.2 was considered as poor consistency, 0.2 to 0.4 as general consistency, more than 0.4 to 0.6 as medium consistency, more than 0.6 to 0.8 as high consistency, and 0.8 to 1.0 as close to full consistency. Results:The data of 73 patients with early gastric cardiac cancer were enrolled in this study. According to the pathological results after operation, 47 cases were M-SM1 cancer and 26 cases were deep submucosal invasive cancer. The diagnostic accuracy of CE, EUS, ME-NBI and the combination of them before operation were 79.5% (58/73), 72.6% (53/73), 65.7% (48/73) and 87.7% (64/73), respectively. The results of consistency test indicated that the consistency of CE diagnosis and pathological results after operation was medium ( Kappa=0.540, P<0.01), that of EUS and pathological results after operation was general ( Kappa=0.346, P=0.002), that of ME-NBI and pathological results after operation was poor ( Kappa=0.175, P=0.108), while that of the combination of them and pathological results after operation was high ( Kappa=0.724, P<0.01). Conclusions:Compared with single examination method, the combination of CE, EUS and ME-NBI is more accurate in evaluating the invasive depth of early gastric cardiac cancer.

Objective To study the influencing factors for outcomes of gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia ( LGIN) for better LGIN treatment regimen. Methods Using magnifying endoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging ( ME-NBI ) follow-up strategy, the endoscopic features of 47 cases of LGIN in Fujian Provincial Hospital, including location, size, surface situation, demarcation line, microvascular pattern and microsurface pattern, were prospectively observed, then the factors influencing the outcome were analyzed. Results Among the 47 cases of LGIN, there were 35 cases in stable condition, whose results of biopsy and ME-NBI had no changes (stable LGIN), and the mean follow-up time was 20. 7±6. 9 months. The remaining 12 patients had progressive dysplasia (progressive LGIN), including 4 cases of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and 8 cases of moderate dysplasia. The mean follow-up time was 16. 3 ± 11. 8 months. There were no significant differences between the two groups in gender (P=0. 33), mean age (P=0. 13), lesion distribution (P=0. 70), and lesion morphology (P=0. 97). The lesion size was less than 20 mm in the stable group ( 71. 4％, 25/35) , and over 20 mm in the progressive group ( 66. 7％, 8/12) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0. 02) . The proportion of the lesion surface heterogeneity in the progressive group was significantly higher than that in the stable group[75. 0％ (9/12) VS 34. 3％ (12/35),P= 0. 01 ] . The proportion of positive manifestations under ME-NBI in the progressive group was also significantly higher than that in the stable group [ 83. 3％ ( 10/12 ) VS 8. 6％ ( 3/35 ) , P = 0. 00 ] . Conclusion The size of lesions over 20 mm, the uneven surface and positive ME-NBI are the important factors influencing the outcome of LGIN, which are of significance for the diagnosis and treatment of LGIN.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of pink sign of iodine staining for early esophageal carcinoma. Methods Data of 312 lesions of 306 patients with suspected early esophageal carcinoma who received iodine staining from November 2015 to October 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Lesions were divided into positive pink sign group and negative pink sign group according to the result of iodine staining. The relationship between pink sign and pathology were analyzed. Lesions recorded onset time of pink sign were divided into 4 groups by the onset time of pink sign, 0-30 s,>30-60 s,>60-90 s and>90-120 s, the diagnostic value of which was assessed with the receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve. Results Among the 312 lesions, 208 were identified positive pink sign, including 28 of inflammation or low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia ( LGIN ) , 180 of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia ( HGIN ) or carcinoma, and 104 lesions were identified negative pink sign, including 69 of inflammation or LGIN, 35 of HGIN or carcinoma. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of positive pink sign in the diagnosis of HGIN and early esophageal carcinoma was 83. 7％, 71. 1％ and 79. 8％, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed a significant association between the onset time of pink sign and histopathology ( P=0. 000, OR=0. 016, 95％CI=0. 042-0. 324) . The onset time of pink sign was recorded in 89 lesions in the positive group. The area under ROC curve of the onset time of pink sign was 0. 899, and the optimal cut-off value was 60 s, which indicated the good validity of the test with the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 92. 8％, 84. 2％and 91. 0％, respectively. Conclusion The pink sign of iodine staining for diagnosis of early esophageal carcinoma shows a high consistance rate, especially that appears within 60 s.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of different stitching methods,over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) and metal clips combined with nylon rope (King closure),for full-layer gastric wall defect.Methods Data of 75 cases,who underwent endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) of gastric SMTs from May 2015 to May 2018 in our endoscopy center were retrospectively analyzed.According to the closure method,the patients were divided into the OTSC group (20 cases) and the King closure group (55 cases).Comparison was made in gender,age,the largest diameter of tumor,the location of tumor,defect surface diameter,total operating time,defect closure time,closure success rate,the length of hospital stays,cost and postoperative complications between the two groups,Results The baseline data were comparable,and there were no significant differences in age,gender,tumor location,tumor diameter,and defect surface diameter between the two groups(all P＞0.05).The success rate of closure was 100％ in both groups.In terms of length of hospital stay,there was no significant difference between the two groups (t =1.13,P=0.268).The total operating time was 63.24±43.22 min in the King closure group versus 47.60± 18.13 min in the OTSC group (t =2.20,P =0.030).The closure time of the defect surface was 20.85 ± 16.35 min in the King closure group versus 10.95±5.20 min in the OTSC group (t =2.65,P=O.010).Hospitalization costs were 24 200±800 yuan in the King closure group versus 36 200±2 350 yuan in the OTSC group (t=6.21,P＜0.001).Postoperative abdominal elevation radiographs in both groups indicated a small amount of subphrenic free gas,and no intervention was given due to the small amount of gas and no obvious symptoms.No late bleeding,recurrent perforation,infection or other complications occurred after operation,and all patients were discharged successfully.Six months after surgery,15 patients (27％) in the King closure group developed metal clips or nylon rope residue,which were successfully removed by endoscopy.The anastomosis clamp of nighteen patients (95％) in the OTSC group were in the original position.None of the patient received open surgery.Conclusion OTSC and King closure are both safe and effective in the treatment of full-thickness defect of gastric wall.OTSC has the advantages of short total operation time and short closure time,but with high cost.

Objective:To preliminarily study the effect of Q self-traction endoscopic submucosal dissection (Q-ESD) on treatment of large early esophageal cancer (EEC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 82 cases of large EEC (single lesion>1/2 cross-section diameter or longitudinal diameter length >5 cm) who underwent ESD on Fujian Provincial Hospital between January 2015 and December 2018. According to the treatment schedule, patients were divided into the conventional ESD group (n=44) and the Q-ESD group (n=38). The procedural area, time, and speed, en bloc resection rate, complete resection rate and complications of the two groups were analyzed.Results:All of the 82 lesions were resected completely under endoscope. There was no statistical difference in the procedural area [779.8 (329.9-2 552.5)mm 2 VS 875.7 (417.8-1 914.8)mm 2, U=155, P=0.636], procedural time [63 (41-177)min VS 59 (42-169)min, U=171, P=0.167] and complete resection rate [94.7% (36/38) VS 93.2% (41/44), χ2=0.086, P=0.769] between the Q-ESD group and the conventional ESD group. Compared with the conventional ESD group, the Q-ESD group had a faster dissection speed [14.9 (5.4-20.8) mm 2/min VS 9.0 (5.0-19.5) mm 2/min, U=142, P=0.035], lower muscularis propria injury rate [7.9% (3/38) VS 27.3% (12/44), χ2=5.123, P=0.023], and a lower stricture rate [5.3% (2/38) VS 20.5% (9/44), χ2=4.051, P=0.044]. No other adverse events occurred except for one case of perforation in the conventional ESD group. Conclusion:The new traction technique of Q-ESD is a safe and effective treatment for large EEC.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of high-frequency electric snare device under elec-tronic laryngoscope in the treatment of epiglottic cyst.Methods A total of 100 patients with definitely diag-nosed epiglottic cyst receiving outpatient operation treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medi-cal University from April 2021 to March 2023 were selected as the research subjects and included into the ob-servation group and control group according to the visiting order,50 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with high-frequency electric snare for epiglottic cyst resection under electronic laryngo-scope,and the control group was treated with laryngeal tissue forceps under electronic laryngoscope for uncov-ering operation of epiglottic cyst.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss volume,pain degree within postoperative 24 h,pain duration,complete resection rate and recurrence rate in postoperative 3 months were compared between the two operation methods.Results The operation time,intraoperative blood loss volume,VAS score within postoperative 24 h and pain duration in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group,the complete resection rate was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The two groups were followed up for 3 months. Only 2 cases in the control group relapsed,which were epiglottic multiple cyst,and the recurrence rate had no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05).No dyspnea,massive bleeding and epiglottic adhesion appeared.Conclusion The high-frequency electric snare device under electronic laryngoscope for treating epi-glottic cyst has the advantages of short operation time,less blood loss,postoperative light pain and high com-plete resection rate.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of budesonide viscous suspension (BVS) in preventing extensive esophageal stenosis after endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD).Methods:Data of 62 cases of early esophageal neoplasms or precancerous lesions receiving ESD whose postoperative mucosal defects were more than half the circumference of the esophageal lumen at Fujian Provincial Hospital from October 2014 to December 2018 were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into the BVS group who received BVS therapy (n=24) and the control group who received no intervention (n=38). The incidence of postoperative stenosis, the number of bougie dilation procedures and complications were compared between the two groups. Risk factors for postoperative stricture were analyzed by logistic regression.Results:The incidence of postoperative stenosis [16.7% (4/24) VS 47.3% (18/38), P=0.005], the number of bougie dilation procedures (1.50±0.58 VS 2.70±1.09, P=0.039) in the BVS group were significantly lower than those in the control group. No serious adverse events such as perforation or massive hemorrhage related to BVS were observed in the BVS group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed circumferential extension ≥3/4 ( OR=37.970, 95% CI: 6.338-227.482) and non-intervention with BVS( OR=20.962, 95% CI: 3.374-130.243) were the independent risk factors for esophageal stricture after ESD. Conclusion:Administration of BVS is an effective and safe method to reduce the incidence of stenosis and the number of bougie dilation procedures for extensive esophageal stenosis after ESD.

The internal organs and meridians were associated with Yin and Yang, five elements, six qi, and time and space, based on the holistic view of heaven, earth and human, according to Huangdi Neijing. The syndrome differentiation system of six meridians and Zang Fu meridians were established by Shanghan Zabing Lun, on the basis of the three Yin, three Yang, six meridians, and five Zang system in Huangdi Neijing. We put forward the concept of the six meridians syndrome differentiation system of circular motion, considering that the six meridians syndrome differentiation system actually implies the theory of circular motion. The syndrome differentiation system was constructed with the circular model of one qi circulating around the road, rising left and falling right, corresponding up and down, and maintaining conservation in the middle as the core, integrating Yin and Yang, five elements, six qi, Zang Fu and meridians, qi, blood and body fluid, and the integration of heaven, earth and human, focusing on "disease location and disease nature", taking classical prescriptions as the main treatments, and cooperating with external treatments such as acupuncture and moxibustion. We organically combined the circular motion with the syndrome differentiation of the six meridians, systematically interpreted the physiological bases, pathological changes, progressive patterns, and the treatments, based on syndrome differentiation, by inheriting the classical thinking mode of Hetu, Luoshu,Zhouyi, Huangdi Neijing, ShennongHerbal Classic, and Shanghan Zabing Lun.

BACKGROUND: China has the largest elderly population in the world; little attention has been paid to the mental health of elderly in areas of extreme poverty. This is the first study to investigate the mental health of the rural elderly in poverty state counties in Chongqing and was part of the Chongqing 2018 health literacy promotion project. METHODS: In 2019, a cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the mental health status of the rural elderly in fourteen poverty state counties of Chongqing, in which a total of 1400 elderly aged ≥ 65 years were interviewed, where mental health status was measured by the ten-item Kessler10 (K10) scale. Ordered multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate the influencing factors related to mental health of the elderly in these areas. RESULTS: The average score of K10 in 14 poverty state counties was 17.40 ± 6.31, 47.6% was labeled as good, 30.2% was moderate, 17.0% was poor, and lastly 5.1% was bad, and the mental health status of the elderly in the northeastern wing of Chongqing was better than the one in the southeastern wing of Chongqing. A worse self-rated health was the risk factor for mental health both in the northeastern and southeastern wings of Chongqing (all P < 0.001). Lower education level (OR (95% CI) = 1.45 (1.12-1.87), P = 0.004) was a risk factor in the northeastern wing, whereas older age (OR (95% CI) = 1.33 (1.13-1.56), P = 0.001) was a risk factors in the southeastern wing. CONCLUSIONS The results showed that mental health of the elderly in poverty state counties was poor, especially in the southeastern wing of Chongqing. Particular attention needs to be paid to the males who were less educated, older, and single; female with lower annual per capital income; and especially the elderly with poor self-rated health.
