Objective To compare the short-term efficacies of laparoscopic intersphincteric resection (ISR) and laparotomy for ultra-low rectal cancers by Meta-analysis.Methods We searched case-control trials that compared clinical outcomes of laparoscopic ISR and laparotomy from PubMed, EMBase, Ovid, CNKI and Wanfang database.Relevant published and unpublished data and conference papers were also retrieved.Two reviewers independently assessed the qualities of the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed by using of RevMan5.2 software.Results A total of 5 trials with 552 cases were included.The results of Meta-analysis showed that in terms of blood loss of the operation [mean difference (MD) =-65.42, 95% CI:-93.45--37.38, Z=4.57, P<0.000 01], flatus passage time (MD=-0.96, 95%CI:-1.45--0.47, Z=3.83, P=0.000 1) and hospital stays (MD=-1.69,95%CI:-2.19--1.19, Z=6.63, P<0.00001),laparoscopic ISR were significantly superior than those of laparotomy, with significant differences.In terms of operation time (MD =6.61,95 % CI:-21.29-34.51, Z =0.46, P =0.64), the positive rate of circumferential resection margin (OR =1.01, 95% CI: 0.37-2.80, Z =0.02, P =0.98) and postoperative morbidity (0R=0.73, 95% CI: 0.45-1.20, Z =1.23, P =0.22), there were no significant differences in the two groups.However, laparotomy may clean more numbers of lymph nodes than those of laparoscopic ISR (MD =-1.16, 95%CI:-2.14--0.18, Z =2.31, P =0.02), with significant difference.Conclusion The shortterm efficacy of laparoscopic ISR is superior than that of laparotomy in the treatment of ultra-low rectal cancer.

Objective To describe the status of prevalence,awareness,treatment,and control of hypertension among the residents in severe historical endemic areas of Keshan Disease in Heilongjiang Province,and to provide scientific evidence for prevention and control of hypertension.Methods In December 2015,Yongjin,Yongli groups of Yongjin Village,and Fengnian,Fengtian,Fengfu groups of Fengnian Village in Fanrong Township,Fuyu County,Qiqihaer City,Heilongjiang Province were selected via the cross-sectional method.The residents aged 18 years or older were surveyed as respondents by cluster sampling.Demography,risk factors,hypertension related information were collected through questionnaire survey.Blood pressure,height and weight were measured through physical examination.Blood pressure measurement was conducted with Omron HEM-1020 electronic sphygmomanometer,the diagnostic criteria was Chinese Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension (revised in 2010).Results Totally 683 residents were surveyed,the valid participants were 669,the prevalence of hypertension was 49.2% (329/669),the standardized prevalence was 37.9%,the prevalence of men [58.0% (164/283)] was higher than that of women [42.7% (165/386),x2 =15.103,P < 0.01],the prevalence increased with increasing age (total,men,women:x2tendency =9.044,4.560,7.789,all P < 0.01).The awareness of hypertensive patients was 60.8% (200/329),the standardized awareness was 41.2%,the awareness of men [54.3% (89/164)] was lower than that of women [67.3% (111/165),x2 =5.836,P < 0.05],the awareness of hypertensive patients increased with increasing age (total,men,women:x2tendency =3.638,2.686,2.419,all P < 0.05).The treatment of hypertensive patients was 51.1% (168/329),the treatment of men [43.9% (72/164)] was lower than that of women [58.2% (96/165),x2=6.711,P < 0.05],the treatment of hypertensive patients increased with increasing age (total,men,women:x2tendency =4.422,2.704,3.633,all P < 0.01).The control rate of hypertensive patients was 5.5% (18/329),the control rate among the treatment was 10.7% (18/168).Conclusions The standardized prevalence of hypertension among the residents of the severe historical endemic areas of Keshan disease in Heilongjiang Province is higher than the national average (25.2%),the standardized awareness is lower than the national average (46.5%),the treatment and the control are low.We should pay more attention to the hypertension in the severe historical endemic areas of Keshan disease.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the serum 25-(OH)D 3, adiponectin (APN), and chemerin levels of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and insulin resistance. Methods:28 pregnant women with GDM were selected for the study group from May 2020 to December 2021, and 45 pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance were selected for the control group. 25-(OH)D 3, APN, chemerin, islet resistance index (HOMA-IR), fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, and HbA1c were compared between the two groups. The correlation between 25-(OH)D 3, APN, chemerin, and GDM insulin resistance was analyzed. Results:Fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and chemerin in the GDM group were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05), while 25-(OH)D 3 and APN were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in HbA1c between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that serum 25-(OH)D 3, APN, and chemerin were all related influencing factors of GDM (all P<0.05). Spearman's correlation analysis showed that serum 25-(OH)D 3 was negatively correlated with fasting blood glucose and HOMA-IR (all P<0.05), chemerin was positively correlated with fasting insulin and HOMA-IR (all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of 25-(OH)D 3 was 0.841 (95% CI: 0.746~0.967). AUC of APN was 0.678 (95% CI: 0.545~0.812). AUC of chemerin AUC was 0.360 (95% CI: 0.233~0.487). Conclusions:The levels of 25-(OH)D 3, APN, and chemerin have a certain correlation with the pathogenesis of GDM, which has a certain reference value for the prediction of GDM.

Acute respimtory distress syndrome(ARDS)is an acute diffuse inflammatory lung injury caused by various internal and external lung injury factors.It has complex pathogenesis,rapid onset and high mortality,which seriously endangers human life and health.Pulmonary fibrosis is one of the important pathologic processes of ARDS occurrence and development,and it is also an important cause of death in ARDS patients.To a certain extent,the severity of pulmonary fibrosis in ARDS is determined by the dynamic balance of macrophage-fibroblast interactions.Therefore,this article aims to review the interaction mechanism of macrophage-fibroblasts in the pro-cess of ARDS pulmonary fibrosis,and provide new methods and ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of ARDS pul-monary fibrosis.
