Objective To explore the relationship between preoperative serum pro-adrenomedullin (pro-ADM) in the patients with closed rupture of small intestine,and postoperative secondary abdominal infection,and to study the value of postoperative serum pro-ADM in assessment of severity of postoperative secondary abdominal infection of this patients.Methods Eighty-five patients with closed rupture of small intestine treated in the emergency surgery from June 2014 to May 2015 were selected.According to the presence of postoperative abdominal infection or not,these patients were divided into infection group and non-infection group.The infection group was further divided into SIRS,sepsis,severe sepsis,septic shock subgroups as per the severity of infection.The levels of serum pro-ADM,interleukin-6 (IL-6),C-reactive protein (CRP) were determined and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score was calculated at admission and the first day、the second day and the third day after operation.Comparisons of these biomarkers were carried out to find out the factors associated with postoperative abdominal infection.In addition,ROC curve was used to verify the factors for predicting the abdominal infection of these patients after operation.The relationship between serum levels of pro-ADM and APACHE Ⅱ score after operation was analyzed.The severity of abdominal infection after operation was assessed with laboratory findings.Results Compared with non-infection group,preoperative and postoperative serum pro-ADM (P =0.03,P ＜ 0.01),IL-6 (P =0.02,P ＜0.01) levels and APACHE Ⅱ scores (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.01) were significantly higher in infection group (P ＜ 0.05).In the infection groups,the postoperative levels of serum pro-ADM and APACHE Ⅱ scores were increased with the severity of infection increased (r =0.924),and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05),but there were no significant differences in IL-6 and CRP levels between two groups.Conclusion (1) The serum levels of pro-ADM before operation has value in predicting the genesis of abdominal infection in these patients after operation.(2) The serum levels of pro-ADM after operation has value in severity assessment of abdominal infection in these patients after operation.

Purpose:To explore the regularity of lymph node metastasis in thoracic esophageal carcinoma.Methods:From March 2000 to June 2001,100 patients with thoracic esophageal carcinoma underwent radical esophagectomy with three field lymphadenectomy. Dissection was done through a right lateral thoracotomy followed by repositioning and simultaneous laparotomy and neck incision. Results:The hospital mortality rate was 0%.Nodal metastases occurred in 54% (54/100) of patients. The rate of metastasis to neck, mediastinum and abdomen were 31%, 34% and 26%. Cervical nodal metastasis was not correlated with the depth of tumor penetration. There was a higher frequency in nodal metastasis near the bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerves than that in the bilateral supraclavicular region. Conclusions:①Neck, mediastinum and abdomen nodal metastases occurred frequenthy in thoracic esophageal carcinoma. ②Cervical nodal metastasis could occur in early stage of tumor infiltration.③Cervical lymphadenectomy was a very important factor for accurate staging of thoracic esophageal cancer.

Objective To analyze the metastatic rule of common hepatic artery lymph node of thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,and to investigate the strategies of common hepatic artery lymph node dissection.Methods The clinical data of 682 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who were admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Fudan University from May 2005 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.The locoregional lymph node metastasis of thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,relationship between metastatic rates of common hepatic artery lymph node and clinicopathological factors and the postoperative complications were analyzed.The enumeration data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results A total of 18 277 lymph nodes were dissected (27 lymph nodes per patient).The lymph node metastatic rate was 55.87％ (381/682),and the metastatic lymph node ratio was 7.87％ (1438/18 277).Lymph nodes adjacent to the cardia of stomach,laryngeal nerve,lesser curvature of stomach,cervical esophagus,left gastric artery had a higher metastatic rate,while common hepatic artery lymph node had a lower metastatic rate.All the common hepatic artery lymph node metastasis was accompanied with locoregional metastasis.A total of 1480 common hepatic artery lymph nodes were dissected (2 common hepatic artery lymph nodes per patient).Twenty-four patients had common hepatic artery lymph node metastasis,with the metastatic rate of 3.52％ (24/682) and the lymph node ratio of 2.16％ (32/1480).The common hepatic artery lymph node metastatic rates of upper,middle and lower esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were 2.33％ (1/43),3.76％ (16/425) and 3.27％ (7/217),with no significant difference (x2 =0.295,P ＞ 0.05).The common hepatic artery lymph node metastatic rates of patients in T1,T2 and T3 stages were 2.35％ (2/85),5.46％ (10/183) and 2.90％ (12/414),with no significant difference (x2 =2.850,P ＞ 0.05).The common hepatic artery lymph node metastatic rates of patients with high,moderate and poor differentiated esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were 0(0/63),3.50％ (16/457) and 4.94％ (8/162),with no significant difference (x2=3.259,P ＞ 0.05).The common hepatic artery lymph node metastatic rates of patients with diameter of tumor under 3 cm,3-5 cm and above 5 cm were 2.59％ (6/232),3.02％ (11/364) and 8.14％ (7/86),with significant difference (x2 =6.267,P ＜ 0.05).The common hepatic artery lymph node metastatic rates of patients in N0,N1,N2,N3 stages were 0(0/301),2.53％ (5/198),5.65％ (7/124) and 20.34％ (12/56),with significant difference (x2 =62.368,P ＜ 0.05).The common hepatic artery lymph node metastatic rates of patients in stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 0(0/62),1.78％ (6/337),5.06％ (13/257) and 19.23％ (5/26),with significant difference (x2=25.959,P ＜0.05).Two hundred and twenty-eight patients had postoperative complications with the complication rate of 33.43％ (228/682).The incidence of anastomotic fistula was the highest,which was 11.58％(79/682).Conclusions The metastatic rates of common hepatic artery lymph node in thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is the lowest.For patients suffered from esophageal cancer in stage I or the tumor diameter under 5 cm,the dissection of common hepatic lymph node can be ommitted in surgery.

Objective Totally MIIE with per-oral placement of anvil has been reported elsewhere,but MIIE with manual pursestring and per-thoracic port placement of anvil has been seldomly reported.The feasibility of the latter technique was proved in this study.Methods Patients with mid-lower thoracic esophageal cancer were prospectively treated with totally MIIE at Shanghai Cancer Center of Fudan University from Feberay 28,2013 to August 31,2013.Laproscopic intracorporeal construction of the gastric conduit and needle catheter J-tube were performed in the first stage of MIIE.In the second stage a hand sewn pursestring was made with endostitch system and the anvil of EEA stapler was inserted via the tenth inter costal port prior to the intrathoracic anastamosis.Short-term clinicopathologic outcomes were collected.Results 39 cases were treated with totally MIIE,media age 61 years,ranged 48-69 years,10 females and 29 males.There was 1 conversion to open surgery.The median duration of operation was 245 minutes.The median intraoperative blood loss was 210 ml.All the patients were margin negative and staged from pT1N0M0 to pT3N2M0.The average lymph node yields were 16.5 per patient.The median postoperative hospital stay was 7 days.There was no mortality.Perioperative morbidity occurred in 4 patients (10％).2 patients were complicated with late stage gastric paralysis which began 2 or 3 days after oral feeding and both recovered in 1 month.1 patient was with minor anastamotic leakage which was endoscopically demonstrated on the 14th day postoperatively and the patient recovered in 1 month post leakage.1 patient was complicated with severe pneumonitus and ARDS; the ICU stay of that case was 19 days and the recovered patient was discharged 27 days postoperatively.Conclusion MIIE with regular EEA stapler and intrathoracic anastamosis is feasible in patients with thoracic esophageal cancer.Prospective randomized clinical trials could be conducted to compare the open procedure and totally MIIE with regular EEA stapler.

Background and purpose:Endoscopic treatment is a promising therapeutic option for superifcial lesions throughout the gastrointestinal tract, this study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic resection (ER) using the new Duette multiband mucosectomy kit (DT-6) on treating esophageal disease. Methods:Since Jun. 2011, ER using DT-6 has been performed on 100 patients in a tertiary medical center. Data from those who have been followed up for over 6 months was analyzed. ER and esophagectomy were compared on treating high grade dysplasia (HGD) lesions and early esophageal cancer. Results:From Jun. 2011 to Jan. 2012, a total of 32 patients with esophageal lesions underwent 34 ER using DT-6 (22 male and 10 female, mean age 59.0 years, range 25 to 83 years). There were (3.4±1.0) specimen resected per operation, and the average greatest diameter was (11.8±2.7)mm. Intraoperative blood loss was (5.45±1.47)mL. The median follow-up period was 8.2 months with a 100%half-year-follow-up rate. Except one pneumothorax occurred during one endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), no other complications happened. When Comparing ER and esophagectomy on treating HGD and early esophageal cancer, ER showed advantages in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay and complications. Conclusion:ER using DT-6 is safe, simple, minimally invasive and effective for esophageal disease. Prospective study and long follow-up are needed to compare endoscopic resection and esophagectomy for HGD and early esophagus cancer.

ObjectiveTo explore the compliance related factors of repeated screening for colorectal cancer in Jiading District， and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of colorectal cancer. MethodsBased on the natural population cohort in Jiading District， and the screening situation in 2017‒2019 and 2020‒2022， the study subjects were divided into the groups of never participating in screening and participating in screening. Subjects in the participating group were further divided into participating in one round of screening or having repeated screening. SPSS 21.0 software was used to analyze the demographic characteristics of each group. χ² test or Fisher precise probability test were used to conduct univariate analysis of the factors such as gender， age， education level， marital status， retirement status， and type of medical insurance. Factors with the significant difference （P<0.05） were selected for inclusion in multivariate analysis， and factors related to compliance with repeated screening were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. ResultsA total of 8 179 subjects were included in the study， including 3 323 males （40.6%） and 4 856 females （59.4%）. The average age of the subjects was （61.26±6.06） years old. A total of2 652 （32.4%） had educated in primary school or below， 4 242 （51.9%） in secondary school， and 1 285 （15.7%） in higher secondary school. Mostly， 7 579 （92.7%） were married. Among the participants， 4 062 people had never participated in screening， 4 117 people had participated in screening， and 1 485 of them had repeated screening， with a repeated screening rate of 18.2%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that women had better compliance with repeated screening than men （OR=1.31， 95%CI： 1.14‒1.50）. Compared with the population aged 50 to 54 years， the population aged 55‒59 years （OR=1.57， 95%CI： 1.19‒2.08）， 60-64 years （OR=2.77， 95%CI： 2.13‒3.61）， and 65-69 years （OR=3.31， 95%CI： 2.51‒4.36） had higher compliance with repeated screening. Compared with employees' medical insurance， residents' medical insurance group had worse compliance with repeated screening （OR=0.76， 95%CI： 0.66‒0.87）. People with a history of intestinal polyps were more likely to undergo repeat screening than those without （OR=2.07， 95%CI： 1.50‒2.87）. ConclusionCompliance with repeated screening for colorectal cancer still needs to be improved， and there are differences in compliance with repeated screening for different populations with different characteristics. Identifying groups that are unlikely to adhere to community-based colorectal cancer screening and taking targeted interventions can help improve the continued compliance of residents with colorectal cancer screening.
