To investigate the evaluation and management of gastrointestinal fistula after upper gastrointestinal tunnel endoscopic surgery, a retrospective analysis was performed on 15 patients with gastrointestinal fistula after upper gastrointestinal tunnel endoscopic surgery, who were treated at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2012 to October 2022. All patients were treated successfully after comprehensive treatment. Three patients received metal clipping and gastric tube drainage; 10 patients received gastric tube drainage combined with jejunal nutritional tube placement, and 7 of them had gastric tube directly put into the fistula cavity; 2 patients received covered esophageal stent placement combined with jejunal nutritional tube placement. Five patients received wound tissue glue spraying; 2 patients underwent purse-string suture with nylon loops and metal clips after reduced fistula burned by hot biopsy forcep or argon plasma coagulation. The gastrointestinal fistula after tunnel endoscopic surgery is a complex postoperative complication, which needs early detection, careful evaluation and comprehensive treatment.

Objective:To understand the sales characteristics and salt iodine content in urban and rural salt market of Guizhou Province.Methods:In accordance with the "Guizhou Province 2020 Iodine Deficiency Disorders Monitoring Field Technical Guidance Work Program", 14 counties (cities, districts) from 88 counties (cities, districts) of 9 cities (states) in Guizhou Province were selected in August 2020. Each county (city, district) selected the urban area and a representative township, and at least 2 supermarkets were selected from the urban area, and 5 supermarkets or retail stores from the townships as the investigation sites, to collect the label information of all commercially available salt within the scope of investigation. At the same time, salt samples were collected after excluding the same brand, variety, and specification, and salt iodine was detected by redox titration.Results:A total of 107 labels of commercially available salt were collected, involving 21 brands, of which Biyuan brand had the largest number (53 samples, 49.5%) and the widest sales range, involving 12 counties (cities, districts). Salt producing areas came from 13 provinces, and the salt produced in Sichuan Province was the most widely distributed in the surveyed area (36 samples), followed by Chongqing Municipality (17 samples) and Hubei Province (16 samples). There were 19 brands (75 samples) and 7 brands (32 samples) of salt sold in urban and rural areas, respectively, and the main brand was Biyuan, accounting for 38.7% (29/75) and 75.0% (24/32), respectively. There were 8 brands (27 samples) and 16 brands (80 samples) of salt sold in retail stores and supermarkets, respectively, and the main brand was Biyuan, accounting for 66.7% (18/27) and 43.8% (35/80), respectively. Among 107 salt samples, it was found that the labeled iodine content did not meet the Guizhou Province salt iodization implementation standard (21 - 39 mg/kg), and only 39 samples (36.4%) had electronic anti-counterfeiting traceability codes on their labels. After excluding the same brand, variety, and specification, the median salt iodine of the 51 salt samples was 23.6 mg/kg, ranging from 19.2 to 38.1 mg/kg, and 21 - 39 mg/kg accounted for 96.1% (49/51).Conclusions:There are many salt brands sold in urban and rural areas in Guizhou Province, and the electronic traceability platform needs to be improved. Salt iodine is mainly distributed in the low-value area of the standard range, which brings potential risks to the sustainable and effective prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the positive surgical margin and clinical factors such as neoadjuvant hormonal therapy after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) in high-risk patients with prostate cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 164 patients with high-risk prostate cancer being performed RARP by one surgeon were analyzed retrospectively in our hospital from January 2016 to January 2022. The mean patient’s age was (65.3±6.2) years old, mean body mass index (BMI) was (25.6±3.0) kg/m 2, the median value of total prostate specific antigen (tPSA) before operation was 18.6(11.3, 31.3)ng/ml, the median value of Gleason score before operation was 7 (7, 8), the median value of prostate volume was 29.3 (22.4, 40.2) ml, and the clinical stage was T 2aN 0M 0-T 4N 0M 0. 80 patients with prostate cancer were treated with neoadjuvant endocrine therapy. All of them were treated with complete androgen blockade with a median course of 3 months. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the correlation between age, BMI, prostate volume, neoadjuvant hormonal therapy, preoperative tPSA, clinical stage, Gleason score before operation and positive surgical margin. Then multivariate logistic regression was used to further analyze the independent risk factor of positive surgical margin after RARP. Results:The postoperative pathological diagnosis included pT 2 stage in 111 cases (67.7%), pT 3a stage in 15 cases (9.1%), pT 3b stage in 25 cases (15.2%), pT 4 stage in 13 cases (7.9%). No lymph node metastasis was noticed in all patients. The Gleason scores included 6 in 11 cases (6.7%), 3+ 4 in 26 cases (15.9%), 4+ 3 in 36 cases (22.0%), 8 in 17 cases (10.4%), 9-10 in 24 cases (14.6%), un-evaluation due to endocrine therapy in 50 (30.5%). The positive surgical margin of high-risk patients with prostate cancer was 44.5% (73/164). Univariate analysis showed that the neoadjuvant hormonal therapy, tPSA and clinical stage were correlated with positive surgical margin ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that non-neoadjuvant hormonal therapy, preoperative tPSA>20ng/ml and clinical stage>T 2b were independent risk factors for positive surgical margin of high-risk patients with prostate cancer. Stratified analysis showed that when the preoperative tPSA was 10-20 ng/ml(21.1% vs.55.9%, P=0.014), the clinical stage was T 2c(29.6% vs.49.1%, P=0.040), the Gleason score before operation was 7(19.4% vs.54.1%, P=0.003), the positive surgical margin of high-risk patients in the neoadjuvant hormonal therapy group was significantly lower than that in the non-neoadjuvant hormonal therapy group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Non-neoadjuvant hormonal therapy, preoperative tPSA>20 ng/ml and clinical stage>T 2b were independent risk factors for positive surgical margin of RARP in the high-risk patients with prostate cancer. For high-risk patients with preoperative tPSA of 10-20 ng/ml, clinical stage of T 2c and Gleason score before operation of 7, neoadjuvant hormonal therapy has important clinical significance in reducing the positive surgical margin of RARP.

Birth cohort is an important platform to study the effect of early-life exposure on health outcome, but large cohorts to investigate the effect of preconception exposure, especially paternal exposure, on reproductive health and birth outcome are limited. The Preconception Reproductive Health and Birth Outcome Cohort (PREBIC) is a prospective birth cohort study which pays equal attention to the contribution of environmental, psychological, behavioral as well as other factors to reproductive health and adverse birth outcomes in both men and women in Chongqing, China. PREBIC started in 2019 and plans to recruit 20 800 reproductive-age couples with child-bearing willingness. Followed up was conducted to understand the conception status of the women within two years. Women in pregnancy would be visited at first, second, third trimesters and after delivery. The offspring would be monitored until 2 years old to understand the incidences of preterm birth, low birth weight, birth defects, neurodevelopmental disorders and other outcomes. Related information and biospecimen collections (including semen, peripheral blood, urine, placenta, umbilical cord, cord blood and oral swab) were scheduled in each period. By January 2022, PREBIC had recruited 8 698 participants from all 38 districts in Chongqing. The goal of PREBIC is to establish one of the largest prospective preconception birth cohorts covering both men and women, which might provide a unique insight to understand the effects of the full reproductive cycle on reproductive health and adverse outcomes, with especial emphasis on preconception exposures.

To investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic trans-gastric cholecystolithotomy(ETGC) combined with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis. Data of patients with cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis who underwent ETGC after ERCP in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from November 2018 to April 2019 were analyzed. Six patients with cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis, 4 males and 2 females, were included in this study.The interval between ERCP and ETGC ranged from 1 to 77 days (median 5 days). All the 6 patients successfully completed ETGC after ERCP, with a surgical success rate of 100%. All the patients had multiple cholecystolithiasis and one patient was complicated with gallbladder polyps.The ETGC operation time was 22-100 min (median 65 min), and the length of hospital stay was 3-9 d (median 6.5 d). Two patients had dull pain in the upper abdomen and increased body temperature after surgery. Abdominal ultrasound in one patient suggested local effusion in the right upper abdomen.Both patients improved after conservative treatment.None of the patients had cholecystitis and cholangitis related symptoms such as right upper abdominal pain or fever during postoperative follow-up, and the follow-up rate was 100%with median follow-up time of 18 month.All the 6 patients underwent abdominal ultrasound examination after surgery. No recurrence occurred in 5 patients. One of the patients showed cholesterol crystals in the gallbladder wall and bile mud deposition.ETGC combined with ERCP is safe and feasible for cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis.

Objective:To understand the salt sales situation and salt iodine content in the market of Guizhou Province 3 years after the system reform of salt industry.Methods:From August to October 2020, in 9 cities (prefectures) of Guizhou Province, 2 counties (cities and districts) were selected from each city (prefecture), 1 urban area and 1 township were selected from each county (city and district), 1 large supermarket and 1 farmers' market were selected in the urban area, and 1 small supermarkets or convenience stores were selected in the township, to check the varieties, place of origin and iodine content label on the package of salt sold, and different brands of salt were collected and sent to the provincial and county salt iodine laboratories. The iodine content was determined and analyzed.Results:A total of 18 large supermarkets, 18 farmers' markets and 18 small supermarkets or convenience stores were investigated, and 70 salt samples of 23 brands, 3 types and origin from 11 provinces were collected. Among them, there were 56 samples with iodine content of 21 - 39 mg/kg on the package. The iodine content range of provincial detection was 19.23 - 37.41 mg/kg (two of them were lower than 21.0 mg/kg), and the median was 25.75 mg/kg. There were 12 samples of two iodine contents (18 - 33 and 21 - 39 mg/kg) marked on the package, and the salt iodine range of provincial detection was 23.52 - 32.90 mg/kg, with a median of 26.55 mg/kg. One sample was marked with 18 - 33 mg/kg, and the iodine content of provincial detection was 25.20 mg/kg; the iodine content of 1 sample of non-iodized salt was not detected. According to the actual test value, iodine contents of 68 samples were within the range of packaging marks, accounting for 97.14% of the total. Taking the provincial test results as a standard, the absolute value of the relative deviation of the provincial and county test results was 0 - 27.45%, the average deviation was 7.65%, and the coincidence rate was 91.43% (66/70). The county test results were acceptable.Conclusions:After the system reform of salt industry, there are many kinds of salt which come from many provinces, and more than 97% of the salt iodine content which is within the standard range of salt concentration in Guizhou Province.

Objective:
To investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic trans-gastric gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy (ETGC) for gallstones.
Methods:
The clinical data of 84 cholecystolithiasis patients, who received ETGC at Endoscopic Center of Zhongshan Hospital from March 2017 to May 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The operation completion rate, operation time, complications and recurrence of calculus were summarized.
Results:
In the 84 cases of cholecystolithiasis, there were 19 cases (22.6%) of single stone, 53 cases (63.1%) of multiple stones, and 12 cases (14.3%) of gallstones with gallbladder polyps. A total of 82 patients (97.6%) successfully completed ETGC with median operation time of 88 min. Ten patients (12.2%) suffered from abdominal pain after operation, of which 6 patients relieved after conservative treatments. The other 4 cases, including 2 cases of hemoperitoneum, 1 case of biliary fistula, and 1 case of choledocholithiasis with obstructive jaundice, were recovered after corresponding interventions. As of June 14, 2019, 5 cases were lost to follow-up (follow-up rate was 93.9%, 77/82). Residual stones were found in 2 cases (2.6%, 2/77). Stone recurrence was discovered in 4 cases (5.2%, 4/7), and 2 cases (2.6%, 2/77) had cholesterol crystallization in gallbladder.
Conclusion
ETGC is minimally invasive, feasible and safe in treatment of cholecystolithiasis, and can retain the function of gallbladder. However, how to completely remove the stones and avoid residue by ETGC still needs further exploration, and its long-term efficacy still needs further observation.
