Objective:To investigate the effect of left colonic artery (LCA) preservation on rectal cancer patients' short-term postoperative anal function and quality of life.Methods:Two-hundred ninty-two patients with rectal cancer at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Peking University First Hospital between Jan 2022 and Dec 2023 were enrolled . The patients were divided into two groups according to whether the LCA was preserved during surgery or not. The LARS scale and EORTC QLQ-CR29 quality of life questionnaire were used to assess postoperative anal function and quality of life.Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the amount of surgical blood loss and the number of lymph node dissections in the root No. 253 group and the time to postoperative voiding (all P>0.05). However, the LARS scores at 1 and 3 months postoperatively were significantly lower in the preserved LCA group than in the LCA nonpreserved group, especially for gas incontinence, loose stool leakage, and number of bowel movements (all P<0.05). The EORTC QLQ-CR29 scores showed that the LCA preserved group recovered significantly better than the non-preserved group in terms of postoperative voiding dysfunction ( P=0.007), urinary incontinence ( P=0.006), mucus discharge ( P=0.009), and fecal incontinence symptoms ( P<0.001). Male sexual dysfunction recovery was quicker in the preserved LCA group ( P=0.043), but there was no significant difference between the two groups at 3 months postoperatively( P>0.05). Conclusion:Preservation of the left colonic artery in low anterior resection of rectal cancer helps to reduce the incidence of postoperative low anterior resection syndrome, improve genitourinary symptoms, and improve patients' quality of life.

Objective:Analyze the risk factors of gastrointestinal perforation caused by foreign body and summarize the experience of surgical treatment of foreign bodies.Method:From Jan 2008 to Dec 2023, 89 patients with foreign bodies in the digestive tract were admitted to the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Peking University First Hospital. Relevant data were collected and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for intestinal perforation, resection and anastomosis of intestine or enterostomy/colostomy.Results:The mean age of 89 patients was (60.1±16.2) years old, 65 patients (73%) had unintentionally ingested foreign bodies. The most common foreign bodies were jujube pits (40 cases). Thirty-nine patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal perforation. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the total number of leukocytes ( OR=4.085, 95% CI: 1.214-13.745, P=0.023), sharp foreign body ( OR=26.124, 95% CI: 5.194-131.392, P<0.001), and the location of foreign body ( OR=3.980, 95% CI: 1.178-13.465, P=0.026) were the independent risk factors for gastrointestinal perforation. Thirty-three patients underwent gastrointestinal repair surgery, and 36 patients underwent resection and anastomosis of intestine or enterostomy/colostomy. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the foreign body located in the colorectum ( OR=71.928, 95% CI: 4.646-1 113.479, P=0.002) and the length of the foreign body ≤2.5 cm ( OR=5.791, 95% CI: 1.606-20.882, P=0.007) were the independent risk factors for resection and anastomosis of intestine or enterostomy/colostomy. Conclusions:Leukocyte count ≥10×10 9/L, sharp foreign body, and location of foreign body are independent risk factors for gastrointestinal perforation. Foreign body located in the colorectum and foreign body length ≤2.5 cm are risk factors for resection and anastomosis of intestine or enterostomy/colostomy.

To investigate the temporal trend of antibiotic use among children in Shanghai from 2017 to 2020. The stratified cluster sampling method was used to establish a dynamic cohort of healthy children based on primary schools in Changning District, Shanghai. In the cohort, there were 282 children from 2017, 287 children from 2018, 294 from 2019 and 301 from 2020. A total of 700 children aged 7-11 years were included in the study. The basic information and antibiotic use of children were investigated by questionnaire every year, and their height and weight were measured at the same time. Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference of antibiotic use rate in each year and generalized estimation equation was used to analyze the temporal trend of antibiotic use. The results showed that the use rates of all antibiotics, cephalosporins, azithromycin and other antibiotics (including penicillin, lincomycin, quinolones, etc.) of children between 2017 and 2020 were 15.6%, 10.5%, 2.7%, and 2.4%, respectively. In 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, there were significant differences for the use rates of total antibiotics and other antibiotics in children ( P=0.033, P=0.040), and there were no significant differences for the use rates of cephalosporins and azithromycin ( P=0.274, P=0.455). After adjusting for children′s basic characteristics, the generalized estimation equation showed that the annual use rate of all antibiotics, cephalosporins, and other antibiotics decreased over time.

Objective To explore the clinical distribution states of human papillomavirus genotypes in tissues of 691 women with vulva condyloma acuminates in Nanjing city and Zhenjiang city in Jiangsu Province and genotyping clinical significance.Methods Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and gene-chips technology were utilized for the detection of 23 kinds of HPV genotypes in tissue specimens from 619 women of vulva condyloma acuminates in Nanjing city and Zhenjiang city in Jiangsu Province.And related materials of all subjects were analyzed.Results In 691 women of vulva condyloma acuminates,597 women of HPV infecton,total infection rate of HPV was 86.40％(597/691),including single genotype infection rate of HPV was 51.38％(355/691),11、6 and 16 genotypes are the most common in single genotypes,they are successively 51.55％(183/355)、41.97％(149/355)and 3.38％(12/355).multiple genotypes infection rate of HPV was 35.02％(242/691),6+11、11+18、6+16 and 11+16 genotypes are the most common in multiple genotypes,they are successively 9.92％(24/242)、9.09％(22/242)、4.96％(12/242)and 4.13％(10/242).Conclusion The low-risk HPV types are the main factors to cause the female vulva CA,a few high-risk HPV types may cause warts as well in tissues of women with vulva condyloma acuminates in Nanjing city and Zhenjiang city in Jiangsu Province.The vulva examine of HPV types should be held to the vulva CA patients.This precaution will has extremely important meaning to the prevention and treatment of the female vulva CA and cervical lesion in our nation.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane pretreatment on the myocardial injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Twenty NYHA class Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged ＜ 60 yr,undergoing cardiac valve replacement with CPB,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =10 each):sevoflurane group (group S) and control group (group C).The patients were premeditated with intramuscular morphine and scopolamine.Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of midazolam 0.05-0.08 mg/kg,fentanyl 10-15 μg/kg and pipecuronium 0.08-0.10 mg/kg.Anesthesia was maintained with intermittent iv boluses of midazolam,fentanyl and pipecuronium and in addition sevoflurane was inhaled before aortic clamping and the end-tidal concentration was rapidly increased to 1.0％ and maintained at the level for 5 min in group S.Blood samples were taken from the central vein before skin incision (T1),immediately after aortic clamping (T2 ),at 0 and 30 min after aortic unclamping (T3-4),and at 2,6,12 and 24 h after operation (T5-8) for determination of the concentration of serum cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) and activities of creatine kinase (CK) and creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB).Myocardial specimens were taken from right auricle before aortic clamping and at 10 min after aortic unclamping for electron microscopic examination.Results The concentration of serum cTnI and activities of CK and CK-MB were significantly increased at T4-8 in both groups ( P ＜ 0.05).The serum cTnI concentration at T4-8 and the activities of CK and CK-MB at T8 were significantly lower in group S than in group C ( P ＜0.05).Different degrees of mitochondrial swelling were observed after aortic unclamping in both groups,but the changes were milder in group S than in group C.Conclusion Sevoflurane pretreatment can attenuate the myocardial injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with CPB.

Objective: To investigate six mineral element contents of rice bran and milled rice from three color rice cultivars (white rice, red rice, black rice). Methods: Select 36 typical cultivars and determine Se, Zn, Fe, Ca, Mn, Cu contents in their rice bran and milled rice with AFS-2201 atomic fluorescent spectrometer and AA-680 atomic absorption spectrometer. Results: 1. The six mineral element contents of rice bran were 2.58, 3.35, 10.04, 4.58, 12.79 and 6.59 times as those of milled rice respectively. 2. The Ca content of black milled rice was significantly higher than that of white and red milled rice. The Mn content in rice bran of white rice was significantly higher than those of black and red rice. Other mineral element contents were not significantly different. 3. For rice bran and milled rice of different cultivars, the contents of each mineral element in three color rices varied greatly. Conclusions: 1. The content of six minerals in rice bran was 5.66 times on average as that in milled rice in all cultivars of three color rice. 2. Eight cultivars of the highest content of each mineral in rice bran and milled rice were recommended for commercial use and human consumption.

Beijing has been one of the epicenters attacked most severely by the SARS-CoV (severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus) since the first patient was diagnosed in one of the city's hospitals. We now report complete genome sequences of the BJ Group, including four isolates (Isolates BJ01, BJ02, BJ03, and BJ04) of the SARS-CoV. It is remarkable that all members of the BJ Group share a common haplotype, consisting of seven loci that differentiate the group from other isolates published to date. Among 42 substitutions uniquely identified from the BJ group, 32 are non-synonymous changes at the amino acid level. Rooted phylogenetic trees, proposed on the basis of haplotypes and other sequence variations of SARS-CoV isolates from Canada, USA, Singapore, and China, gave rise to different paradigms but positioned the BJ Group, together with the newly discovered GD01 (GD-Ins29) in the same clade, followed by the H-U Group (from Hong Kong to USA) and the H-T Group (from Hong Kong to Toronto), leaving the SP Group (Singapore) more distant. This result appears to suggest a possible transmission path from Guangdong to Beijing/Hong Kong, then to other countries and regions.
