Objective:This study aimed to clarify clinicopathologic characteristics, postoperative complications, and related risk factors of elderly patients with gastric cancer.Methods:A total of 395 patients(≥65 years old)who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer in Beijing Hospital from January 2014 to December 2021 were enrolled in this study.The patients were divided into the common elderly group(age<80 years, n=340)and the high-age group(age ≥ 80 years, n=55). Postoperative complications were classified into medical and surgical types.The clinicopathological characteristics and complications were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression models(univariate and multivariate)were used to identify the risk factors for postoperative complications.Results:The common elderly group was 65-79 years old(mean age: 71.5±4.3 years), with 263 male(77.4%); The high-age group was 80-89 years old(mean age: 82.6±2.6 years), with 42 male(76.4%). The comorbidity rate and the number of comorbidities in the high-age group were significantly higher than those in the common elderly group.The American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)scores and nutritional risk screening(NRS)2002 scores in the high-age group were significantly higher than those in the common elderly group(both P<0.05), and the activities of daily living(ADL)scores in the high-age group were significantly lower than that in the common elderly group( P<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in tumor location, degree of differentiation, pathological type, T stage, and N stage between the two groups(all P>0.05). The overall postoperative complication rate in the high-age group was significantly higher than that in the common elderly group(38.2% vs.24.7%, P=0.036); the medical complications were significantly increased in the high-age group(21.8% vs.10.9%, P=0.022), whereas the surgical complications did not increase significantly(25.5% vs.17.1%, P=0.135). Multivariate analysis revealed that the number of comorbidities ≥2( HR=2.502, 95% CI: 1.275-4.911, P=0.008), preoperative NRS 2002 scores ≥5( HR=2.714, 95% CI1.294-5.693, P=0.008), and preoperative ADL scores<100( HR=2.012, 95% CI1.010-4.009, P=0.047)were independent risk factors for medical complications.Additionally, ASA grade ≥ 3( HR=2.586, 95% CI: 1.444-4.632, P=0.001)and proximal or distal gastrectomy( HR=2.397, 95% CI: 1.237-4.574, P=0.009)were independent risk factors for surgical complications. Conclusions:The occurrence of postoperative medical complications in very elderly patients with gastric cancer undergoing radical surgery has increased, while the rate of surgical complications has not increased.Moreover, advanced age itself is not an independent risk factor for postoperative complications.More attention should be paid to medical complications, and the management of commodities and nutritional support should be strengthened during the perioperative period.

ObjectiveTo analyze the management and treatment for patients with severe mental disorders in Chengdu from 2016 to 2020， in order to provide references for the relevant authorities to formulate policies and improving the mental health service system. MethodsData relating to 22 districts （cities） and counties in Chengdu from January 1， 2016 to December 31， 2020 were extracted from the National Information System for Severe Mental Disorders. Indicators such as reported prevalence rate， management rate， standardized management rate， medication rate， regular medication rate and stable condition rate of patients with severe mental disorders were analyzed on a yearly basis. ResultsBy the end of 2020， there were 71 899 registered cases of severe mental disorders in Chengdu， with a reported prevalence rate of 0.34%， a standardized management rate of 95.53%， and a regular medication rate of 72.50%. From 2016 to 2020， except the reported prevalence rate （χ²=269.566， P<0.01）， management rate （χ²=384.030， P<0.01）， standardized management rate （χ²=309.742， P<0.01）， medication rate （χ²=414.252， P<0.01）， regular medication rate （χ²=316.172， P<0.01） and stable condition rate （χ²=288.335， P<0.01） had linear trends of increasing with the annual increase. ConclusionFrom 2016 to 2020， the management rate， treatment rate and regular medication rate of patients with severe mental disorders have been increased year by year in Chengdu. Nevertheless， the increase in reported prevalence rate should be accompanied by strengthened management and follow-up to increase the regular medication rate to maintain the stability of patients' conditions.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of soft copy image of chest digital radiography (DR SC) in pneumoconiosis diagnosis by observing the reading effect of DR SC and comparing it with high kV film-screen chest radiography (FSR HkV) . To provide a basis for the establishment of a regional information network platform for pneumoconiosis diagnosis. Methods:A total of 119 miners who were exposed to silica dust and engaged in copper or lead-zinc mining were collected by the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan from October 2017 to August 2019. The pulmonary X-ray findings of DRSC and FSR HkV in each case were independently judged and diagnosed by three experienced diagnostic physicians, and the final decision was made according to the consensus of most doctors. The consistency of the two imaging methods was analyzed by observing the main small opacity shape, the overall density, the range of distribution, the aggregation of the small opacity and the big opacity, and the diagnosis stage. Results:there were 118 males and 1 female with an average age of 46.21 years. Average exposure time 7.38 years. The pulmonary X-ray findings of 113 cases with two imaging methods were mainly the round small opacity of p,q and r,but the reticular irregular opacity were not prominent, Only one case of FSR HkV judgment p shape and DR SC judgment q shape were observed, The coincidence rate was 99.12% (112/113) . huger opacity were observed in the other 6 cases. The coincidence rate was 95.51% (4/89) between pneumoconiosis-free and stageⅠ, and there was no significant difference between stageⅡand stage Ⅲ (30/30, P>0.05) . Conclusion:The x-ray findings of Silicosis with small round shadow in lung can be used by DR SC in diagnosis and staging.

Objective: To analyze the comparability of different detection systems and methods for tumor markers (TM) by reviewing the results of TM external quality assessment (EQA) in Shandong province during 2015 and 2017. Methods: The results of TM EQA from the Shandong Provincial Clinical Laboratory Center during 2015 and 2017 were collected, and grouped by the detection system or method. After outliers were removed by the CLInet EQA software, the mean and coefficient of variation (CV) in each group were calculated with median as the target value. The difference of TM results in different detection systems were compared by the Kruskal-Wallis H test. Results: Taking alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) as an example, the average CV of different detection methods of TM EQA during 2015 and 2017 ranged from small to large in order of microparticle enzyme immunoassay, electrochemiluminescence, acridine ester chemiluminescence and chemiluminescence. The trends of CV of the other tumor markers were similar to AFP. The average CV of individual marker in electrochemiluminescence group was lower than that in microparticle enzyme immunoassay group. The intra-group CVs of imported detection systems such as Roche, Beckman etc. were relatively ideal, and the average CVs of most tumor markers were less than 10%. However, the intra-group CVs of domestic detection systems such as Shenzhen Snibe, Zhengzhou Autobio etc. were not ideal, and the average CVs of most tumor markers were more than 10%. The target values of different detection systems varied with different items and batches, and there were great variation in carbohydrate antigen (CA) series. Conclusion The results of TM detected by the same automatic detection system are comparable. However, the results of TM detected by most different detection systems and methods are not comparable.

Objective To investigate the comparison of clinical effects between two models of alimentary reconstruction after total gastrectomy in the elderly patients with gastric cancer.Methods 70 patients receiving alimentary tract reconstructions of Orr-type Roux-en-Y reconstruction (Orrtype,40 cases) and modified Brawn Ⅰ (30 cases) from January 2007 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The operative time,amount of bleeding,early postoperative complications and mortality,food intake,nutritional status and alimentary tract function were compared at 6 months after surgery.Results There were no significant differences between the two methods in the operative time [(198.8±14.0)min vs 233.5±30.7)min,t=-l.697,P＞0.05)],amount of bleeding [(420 ± 43) ml vs (340 ± 25) ml t =-1.956,P ＞ 0.05],and early postoperative complications [(17.5％ vs 16.7％),x2 =0.008,P＞0.05].However,times of liquid diet intake and semi liquid diet intake of the Orr-type reconstruction method was comparatively shorter than that of the modified Brawn Ⅰ [(4.8±2.1) d vs (7.6±2.4) d,and (9.5±3.6) d vs (11.5±3.7) d,t=-5.192,P＜0.05)].Nutritional status (weight,hemoglobin,total serum proteins and serum albumin) at 6 months after operation showed no significant differences between the two methods.But constituent ratio of Visick scores Ⅰ-Ⅱ of Orr-type was bigger than that of modified Brawn Ⅰ (86.7％ vs 62.5％,x2 =5.063,P＞0.05).Conclusions Orr-type Roux-en-Y reconstruction method can avoid reflux esophagitis,and the procedure is more simple than the modified Brawn Ⅰ method.Therefore,Orr-type Roux-en-Y reconstruction should be recommended as an adoptable method of digestive reconstruction after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer in the elderly patients.

Objective:To study the clinical effect of internal combined with external fixation in the treatment of pelvic fracture and its effect on the serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP),tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β).Methods:Eighty-six patients with pelvic fractures admitted in our hospital from August 2014 to July 2015 were selected and divided into the observation group and control group according to the admission order.Conventional internal fixation was used in the control group,and the internal combined with extemal fixation was performed in the observation group.The clinical curative effect,operative time,blood loss,fracture healing time and incidence of complication were compared between two groups.The levels of serum ALP,TNF-α and TGF-β in the two groups were compared before and after treatment between two groups.Results:The excellent rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group [81.40％ (35/43) vs 41.86％ (18/43)] (P ＜0.05).The operative time,blood loss and fracture healing time in the observation group were significantly shorter or less than those of the control group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the serum ALP,TNF-α and TGF-β levels between the two groups before treatment (P＞0.05).After treatment,the serum ALP levels in the two groups were significantly higher than before treatment (P＜0.05).The levels of TNF-α and TGF-β were significantly lowe than those before treatment(P＜0.05),the ALP levels in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P ＜0.05),and the levels of TNF-c and TGF-β were significantly lower than those of the control group 0.05).The incidence of complications of observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group [0.00％ (0/43) vs 11.63％ (5/43)] (P ＜0.05).Conclusion:Internal and external fixation was effective and safe in the treatment of pelvic fractures,which could significantly increase the serum ALP level and reduce the levels of TNF-α and TGF-β.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the risk of postoperative complications in elderly colorectal cancer patients over 65 years with comorbid cardiovascular diseases.

METHODSA total of 381 elderly colorectal cancer patients over 65 years were pathologically diagnosed as colorectal adenocarcinoma and underwent the first surgery in Beijing Hospital during January 2013 and December 2014. Patients were divided into comorbid cardiovascular disease group (258 cases) and non-cardiovascular disease group (123 cases) according to the existence of comorbid cardiovascular disease. The morbidity of postoperative complication was compared between two groups.

RESULTSThere was no significant difference in the morbidity of postoperative complication between two groups [27.9%(72/258) vs. 29.3%(36/123), P>0.05]. According to the Clavien-Dindo classification of postoperative complications, the morbidities of complication at all levels between two groups were not significantly different(all P>0.05). But in terms of cardiovascular complications, the morbidity of comorbid cardiovascular disease group was significantly higher than that of non-cardiovascular disease group [7.4%(19/258) vs. 0.8%(1/123), χ=6.678, P=0.010], while no significant differences in pulmonary and abdominal complications were found between two groups(all P>0.05). The morbidities of other complications (deep vein thrombosis, urinary tract infection and renal complications, etc.) of comorbid cardiovascular disease group were lower than those in non-cardiovascular disease group [2.7%(7/258) vs. 8.1%(10/123), χ=5.733, P=0.017]. Different types of cardiovascular diseases, different levels of cardiac risk index and American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) rating were not significantly related to the patient's occurrence of postoperative complications(all P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONSSurgery treatment for elderly colorectal cancer patients over 65 years with comorbid cardiovascular diseases is safe. However, strict cardiovascular monitoring should be performed and necessary measures should be carried out in time.
