Objective:To explore whether the protective ileostomy can reduce the incidence of anastomotic leakage after neoadjuvant treatment of rectal cancer and the relationship between protective ileostomy and anastomotic leakage.Methods:From May 2011 to August 2020, a total of 108 patients who underwent rectal cancer neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy and then received anterior resection in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University were selected. Sixty-three cases were treated with protective ileostomy (Treatment group), while 45 cases were not (Control group). The chi-square test was used to compare the incidence of anastomotic leakage between the two groups. At the same time, Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of anastomotic leakage, and the rate of permanent stoma was calculated. SPSS19.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:The total incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage in the Treatment group and Control group was 9.52% (6/63) and 6.66% (3/45) ( P=0.59). Among them, 2 cases of anastomotic leakage occurred in the Treatmentgroup, no A-grade anastomotic leakage occurred in the Control group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (33.33% vs. 0, P=0.77). There were 4 cases of grade B anastomotic leakage occurred in the Treatment group, 2 cases in the Control group, there was no significant difference between the two groups (66.67% vs. 66.67%, P=0.45). There was no grade C anastomotic leakage in the Treatment group, and one case of grade C anastomotic leakage occurred in the Control group, there was no significant difference between the two groups (0 to 33.33%, P=0.70). Logistic regression analysis showed that whether protective stoma was implemented or not was not statistically related to the occurrence of anastomotic leakage ( P=0.26). The distance between the tumor and the anal margin ( P=0.01) affected the occurrence of anastomotic leakage. The permanent stoma rate in the Treatment group was 9/63 (16.67%). Conclusion:Protective ileostomy has no significant advantage in reducing the incidence of anastomotic leakage in patients with rectal cancer neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and may lead to permanent stoma.

OBJECTIVETo verify the clinical safety of complete mesocolic excision (CME) and manufacture pathological large slices.

METHODSA prospective analysis clinical data of 85 right colon cancer in patients by the same group of surgeons at the Department of General Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2012 to December 2013 which were divided into two groups: CME group (n=39) and traditional radical operation group (n=46) by surgical approach. CME group and control group were compared the differences of clinic and pathologic variables, precise tissues morphometry, lymph nodes harvest, mesocolic area and so on. By comparison to operation time, blood loss, postoperative complications, flatus restoring time, drainage removal time and length of stay, the security of CME was analyzed. Statistical methods included independent sample t-test, Wilcoxon rank sum test and χ(2) test. In order to manufacture pathological large slices, the CME operation specimens were fixed. The large slices were stained by routine HE staining to detection of circumferential resection margin.

RESULTSMean number of total lymph nodes was increased obviously in CME group (26.8±1.9 vs. 23.2±3.4, t=4.261, P=0.000). Mean number of lymph nodes of stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ were different between two groups (25.8±3.6 vs. 18.2±4.5, 26.8±7.7 vs. 24.9±6.2, t=8.776, 2.802, P=0.000). The positive lymph nodes of CME group was higher than control group (4(7) vs. 1.5(2), P=0.032), above all with statistically significant difference. Comparing CME group with the control group, there were the larger area of mesentery ((15 555±1 263) mm(2) vs. (12 493±1 002) mm(2,) t=12.456, P=0.000), the greater distance between the tumor and the high vascular tie ((116±22) mm vs. (82±11) mm, t=9.295, P=0.000), the greater distance between the normal bowel and the high vascular tie ((92±17) mm vs. (74±10) mm, t=8.132, P=0.000) of CME, with statistically significant difference. There were no statistically significant differences from operation safety when CME group was compared with the control group. The pathological large slices of colon cancer were prepared successfully and dyed evenly than those large slices were used to observe whether the lymph tube and lymph node metastasis inside the mesocolon. Existence of direct tumor invasion could be confirmed by investigating the large slices. Cancer embolus in intravascular and micro infiltration in mesocolon also could be found.

CONCLUSIONSCME operation can get the standard excision according the mesocolic area and integrity, as well as to harvest the maximum number of lymph node. The clinical application of CME is safe and does not increase the risk of operation. Circumferential resection margins can be detected by pathological large slices.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the E2 and E4 alleles of apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene and myocardial infarction (MI) in type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients, and to explore the relationship between apoE polymorphism and blood lipid metabolism.Methods:This case control study was conducted from August 2016 to March 2020 in China-Japan Friendship Hospital, 3 459 inpatients with T2DM were included including 3 044 patients without MI (T2DM group) and 415 patients with MI (T2DM+MI group). Real time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect apoE polymorphism. Automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect lipid levels. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association of apoE with risk of MI in patients with T2DM.Results:(1) The frequency of E4 allele in T2DM+MI group (12.29%, 102/830) was significantly higher than in T2DM group (9.13%,556/6 088), while the frequency of E2 allele in T2DM+MI group (7.35%,61/830) was significantly lower than that in T2DM group (8.21%,500/6 088), P=0.012. Logistic regression analyses showed that E4 allele carrier (E3/E4+E4/E4) faced a higher risk for MI in T2DM patients ( OR=1.48, 95% CI 1.14-1.92, P=0.003), while E2 allele carrier(E2/E3+E2/E2)did not face a higher risk of MI in T2DM patients ( OR=0.88, P=0.642). (2) The levels of apoE polymorphism and blood lipid: The levels of TC, LDL-C and apoB increased in the order of E4 allele, wild type and E2 allele ( P<0.05). The levels of HDL-C, apoA1 and apoE decreased in the order of E4 allele, Wild type and E2 allele ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The E4 allele is a risk factor for MI in T2DM patients, and apoE polymorphism can affect blood lipid level in this patent cohort.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of wait and watch treatment for patients with high-risk pathology factors after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early colorectal cancer.Methods:From December 2012 to June 2020, 104 patients, including 62 males and 42 females, aged from 31 to 89 years old, with the average of (59.5±10.8) years with early colorectal cancer after ESD operation were selected from the Department of General Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University. According to the follow-up treatment, the patients were divided into two groups: the additional surgical resection group and the wait and watch group. The measurement data of normal distribution were shown by mean standard deviation, the comparison between groups adopted t test, and the comparison of counting data between groups adopted χ2 test. The types of pathological high-risk factors after ESD were compared between the two groups, and the overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) of the two groups were compared by Log-Rank test. Results:The median follow-up time was(40.6±15.3) months. The OS and PFS of the additional surgical resection group and the wait and watch group were 100.0% vs 98.4% and 90.7% vs 90.2%, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (OS: χ2=0.875, P=0.35; PFS: χ2=0.017, P=0.80). Conclusion:The wait and watch strategy is expected to be one of the follow-up choices for some patients with high risk factors after ESD operation for early colorectal cancer.

Objective:To identify the association of sex hormone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels in patients with Graves′ disease.Methods:Between December 2017 and July 2019, 152 patients with Graves′ disease were enrolled in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. Parameters such as height, weight, thyroid function, sex hormone, fasting blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glycosylated albumin, HbA 1C, and liver function were collected. The associations between SHBG and bioclinical characteristics were analyzed. Results:The glycosylated albumin level was negatively associated with SHBG in all subjects ( β=-0.308, P<0.01), while this association was not significant after the adjustment for thyroid hormones. Male patients had significantly lower SHBG level than female patients ( P<0.01). In male patients, SHBG was associated with luteinizing hormone ( r=0.465, P<0.01), estradiol ( r=0.629, P<0.01), testosterone ( r=0.786, P<0.01). While in female patients, SHBG was also associated with testosterone ( r=0.191, P<0.05). In multivariate linear regression analysis, estradiol was independently associated with SHBG ( β=0.329, P<0.01) in male subjects. Conclusion:The hypogonadism and infertility in Graves′ disease patients could partially be attributed to the association between SHBG and Graves′ disease.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of trans-anal surgery vs.conventional laparoscopic surgery in treating sigmoid and high-rectum tumor.Methods From Jan 2014 to Mar 2017,100 patients in Beijing Friendship Hospital participated in this clinical study.45 patients underwent transanal surgery and 55 patients underwent conventional laparoscopic surgery.Results No significant difference was found between trans-anal surgery group and the traditional laparoscopic group in terms of operation time,blood loss,the use of analgesic drugs and the radical evaluation of tumor.While the postoperative pain scores in trans-anal surgery group (2.0 ± 1.0 vs.2.6 ± 1.0,t =2.9,P =0.005) were lower than those in the conventional group.The follow-up data showed one case of local tumor recurrence and one case of multiple peritoneal metastasis in the trans-anal surgery group,compared to two cases of liver metastasis and one case dying of pneumonia in the conventional laparoscopic group.The remaining cases were of no local recurrence,nor distant metastases or any critical complications.Conclusions Trans-anal surgery in the treatment of sigmoid and high-rectum tumor is safe,reliable and having the same clinical efficacy with conventional laparoscopic surgery.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics of 17α-hydroxylase deficiency, and to facilitate the understanding and management of the disease.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics and biochemical results of 5 cases with 17α-hydroxylase deficiency diagnosed and treated from 2018 to 2020.Results:All 5 patients were female as social gender, and reached adulthood upon first clinic visit to our department and got diagnosed. All 5 cases had hypertension, hypokalemia, bilateral adrenal hyperplasia or adenoma, osteoporosis, and typical hormone changes related to steroid synthesis.Conclusion:Steroid hormone tests with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS) enable early diagnosis of 17α-hydroxylase deficiency, assessment of the type and degree of enzyme deficiency, and choice of treatment. For such patients, it is necessary to give appropriate anti-osteoporosis therapy.

Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT)+ total mesorectal excision (TME) has become the standard mode of treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer(LARC). However, the sensitivity of different patients to nCRT varies greatly, some patients can get pathological complete response (pCR), and their long-term survival is significantly improved, Some patients'tumors continue to progress, therefore, accurate prediction of whether pCR can be achieved after nCRT is very important for guiding individualized treatment of patients. Current studies have shown that some accessible clinical factors, such as age, pathological types of tumors, TNM staging, circumferential extent of tumor, distance to the anal verge, CEA level, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, can be used to predict whether pCR can be achieved.This article reviews the progress of clinical predictors of pCR in LARC after nCRT.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological features and prognosis of the obstructive colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 667 CRC patients who were admitted to the Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University between January 2013 and December 2015 were collected.The diagnosis and treatment
