Background Long working hours (LWH) and shift work are harmful to the physical and mental health of occupational groups. Objective To understand the status quo of LWH and shift work of migrant workers in Shanghai, and to analyze the influence of the above two factors on sleep of the population. Methods From July to September 2018, a cross-sectional survey using questionnaires was conducted among 3215 in-service employees at seven workplaces with more than 300 employees in six selected districts of Shanghai using multi-stage random sampling method. A total of 2976 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 92.6%. The questionnaires included general demographic characteristics, personal health behavior, work-related factors, weekly working hours, shift work, and sleep. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the relationships of LWH and shift work with sleep, and an interaction item was included to evaluate potential interaction between LWH and shift work. Result The average age of the subjects was (30.98±9.49) years old, the male to female ratio was 1∶1.20, and 2382 workers were reported without local residency (80.0%). Among the migrant workers, the average weekly working hours was (57.23±13.14) h, the proportions of LWH (weekly working hours>40 h), extra LWH (weekly working hours>55 h), and shift work were 80.6% (1919/2382), 60.3% (1436/2382), and 25.4% (600/2366), respectively, all above were significantly higher than those of local workers. The prevalence rates of insomnia and lack of sleep among the migrant workers were 46.3% (1091/2356) and 25.4% (597/2354), respectively. The results of logistic regression model showed that after adjusting demographic characteristics such as gender, age, education level, and monthly income, as well as occupation and personal health behavior, compared with working hours ≤40 h per week, working 55-60 h per week was a risk factor for insomnia of migrant workers (OR=1.33, 95%CI: 1.02-1.72), while working >60 h per week was a risk factor for both insomnia (OR=1.37, 95%CI: 1.05-1.78) and insufficient sleep (OR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.28-2.35) of migrant workers. Shift work was only associated with insomnia (OR=1.37, 95%CI: 1.11-1.69). Meanwhile, working hours>60 h per week and shift work had an interaction effect on insomnia of migrant workers (OR=2.35, 95%CI: 1.20-4.60). Conclusion LWH and shift work are prominent among migrant workers, and there is an interaction between LWH and shift work with insomnia.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of multiple primary colorectal carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 42 cases of colorectal cancer admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2013 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinicopathological features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis were summarized.Results:There were 42 patients with multiple primary colorectal carcinoma, accounting for 1.20% (42/3 499) of all colorectal carcinoma patients in the same period. The main pathological type was adenocarcinoma. Among them, 32 cases were synchronous multiple primary carcinoma. And the age ranged 38-86 years old, and the median age was 66 years old. A total of 73 colorectal cancer lesions were detected, mostly located in the proximal colon, sigmoid colon and rectum. A total of 527 lymph nodes were detected, and the positive rate was 1.9% (10). Patients with positive lymph nodes accounted for 37.5% (12/32), including 27 cases of multiple primary carcinoma, 3 cases of triple primary carcinoma, 2 cases of five primary carcinoma. The 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates were 83.75% and 74.38%, respectively. There were 10 cases of metachronous multiple primary carcinoma. Patients were aged 33-86 years old. The first cancer was mostly located in the rectum and sigmoid colon, and the second cancer was mostly located in the ascending colon area. A total of 276 lymph nodes were detected, and the positive rate was 12.3% (34). The 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates were 100.00% and 66.67%, respectively.Conclusions:Multiple primary colorectal cancer is not rare clinically and its distribution shows a certain regularity. More attention should be paid to improve the early diagnosis rate. Early operation is needed to improve the survival rate of patients.

Objective To investigate the application value of superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-oriented complete mesocolic excision (CME) in the treatment of right colon cancer.Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 955 patients with right colon cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2013 to June 2018 were collected.There were 514 males and 441 females,aged from 18 to 96 years,with a median age of 65 years.Of the 955 patients,377 undergoing SMA-oriented CME of right colon with the lymph node dissection along the left boundary of SMA were allocated into SMA-oriented group,and 578 undergoing superior mesenteric vein (SMV)-oriented CME of right colon with the lymph node dissection along the left boundary of SMV were allocated into SMV-oriented group.Observation indicators:(1) intraoperative and postoperative conditions;(2) postoperative complications;(3) postoperative pathological examinations;(4) follow-up and survival situations.Follow-up was performed by telephone interview and outpatient examination once every 3-6 months within 2 years after surgery and once a year after 2 years up to January 2019,using tumor recurrence and metastasis or death as the end point.Follow-up included physical examination and tumor marker test,including carcino embryonic antigen,CA19-9,chest and abdomen CT examination and enteroscopy.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (P25,P75),and comparison between groups was done using the Mann-Whitney U test.Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages,and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi square test.Ordinal data were analyzed using the rank sum test.Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival time and rate,and draw survival curve.Log-rank test was used for survival analysis.Patients with loss to follow-up were involved in survival analysis as censored data.Results (1) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions:the operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,duration of postoperative hospital stay were 100 minutes (90 minutes,110 minutes),50.0 mL (50.0

differences between the two groups (Z=-5.400,-5.799,-7.461,P＜0.05).After the exclusion of 47 patients unsuitable for defecation analysis because of postoperative complications,365 in the SMA-oriented group and 543 in the SMV-oriented group were analyzed.The time to first defecation,the maximum number and the median number of daily defecation postoperatively were 5 days (3 days,5 days),2.0 (1.0,2.5),1.0 (1.0,1.0) in the SMA-oriented group,which showed no significant difference from 4 days (3 days,5 days),2.0 (1.0,3.0),1.0 (1.0,1.0) in the SMV-oriented group (Z=-1.622,-1.541,-1.024,P＞ 0.05).(2) Postoperative complications:cases with postoperative complications,cases with incisional liquefaction or infection,cases with anastomostic leakage,cases with delayed gastric emptying,cases with intra-abdominal bleeding,cases with complete or incomplete ileus,cases with anastomostic bleeding,cases with intra-abdominal infection,cases with disruption of wound,the number of death were 55,10,3,3,2,2,1,1,1,1 in the SMA-oriented group,which showed no significant difference from 83,30,13,4,3,8,3,6,2,3 in the SMV-oriented group,respectively (x2 =0.045,3.662,2.926,0.034,0.001,1.604,0.352,1.873,0.048,0.352,P＞0.05).There were 32 of 377 patients in the SMA-oriented group and 14 of 578 in the SMV-oriented group with chylous leakage,showing a significant difference between the two groups (x2 =18.312,P＜ 0.05).Patients with chylous leakage were improved after conservative treatment,without reoperation.Patients with other complications were improved after anti-infection,fluid infusion,and reoperation.Four of 955 patients died after surgery.(3) Postoperative pathological examinations:patients with stage Ⅰ,stage Ⅱ,and stage Ⅲ (pathological TNM staging),patients with high-differentiation,mid-differentiation,and low-differentiation (tumor differentiation degree),length of intestine specimen,number of positive lymph nodes,maximum tumor diameter,patients with cancer nodules,patients with vascular invasion,patients with perineural invasion were 57,174,146,30,174,173,23 cm (21 cm,26 cm),0 (0,2),5.0 cm (3.0 cm,6.0 cm),37,81,53 in the SMA-oriented group,which showed no difference from 66,280,232,33,303,242,23 cm (21 cm,25 cm),0 (0,2),5.0 cm (3.5 cm,6.0 cm),80,108,82 in the SMV-oriented group (Z=-1.020,-0.216,-0.243,-0.220,-0.814,x2=3.441,1.127,0.003,P＞0.05).The number of harvested lymph nodes was 22.0 (17.0,27.0) and 18.0 (15.0,22.0) in the SMA-oriented group and SMV-oriented group,respectively,with a significant difference between the two groups (Z=-7.800,P＜0.05).There were 202 patients extracted for further analysis.The number of harvested lymph nodes and harvested central lymph nodes was 25.0 (20.0,31.3),5.0 (3.0,8.0) of 166 patients in the SMA-oriented group,and 21.5 (18.0,28.8),1.5 (0,4.5) of 36 patients in the SMV-oriented group,respectively,showing significant differences between the two groups (Z =-1.995,-4.309,P＜0.05).(4) Follow-up and survival situations:840 of 955 patients including 346 in the SMA-oriented group and 494 in the SMV-oriented group were followed up for 1.0-73.2 months,with a median time of 31.5 months.SMA-oriented group had a higher 5-year overall survival rate than SMV-oriented group (91.8％ vs.84.9％,x2 =4.384,P＜0.05),but had no significant difference in the 5-year tumor-free survival rate compared with the SMV-oriented group (84.4％ vs.78.2％,x2=2.158,P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with SMV-oriented CME of right colon,SMA-oriented CME of right colon is safe and feasible,with larger number of harvested lymph nodes,which can achieve complete lymph node dissection.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for anastomotic leakage after low anterior resection(LAR) for rectal cancer.Methods The retrospective study of 1 336 patients with rectal cancer who underwent LAR from Jan.2013 to Dec.2017 in the Department of Colorectal Surgery,First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University was conducted.There were 838 male and 498 female patients.The median age was 62 (53,70) years.Observation indicators:①intraoperative conditions,including the performance of preventive enterostomy,the preservation of left colic artery,the placement of transanal decompression tube;②postoperative conditions,for example,postoperative clinical symptoms and physical examination,postoperative hospital stay.Anastomotic leakage patients were graded according to the grading system of anastomotic leakage following anterior resection of the rectum proposed by the International Study Group of Rectal Cancer in 2010.Measurement data with non-normal distribution were described as median,and comparison between groups was done using Mann-Whitney U test.Ranked data were compared with rank sum test.Comparison of count data between groups were analyzed using the Chi-square test or Fisher exact test.Potential risk factors for anastomotic leakage were further analyzed with multiple logistic regression.Results Anastomotic leakage was noted in 138 (10.4％) of 1 336 patients with 93 patients (7.0％) of Grade B and 46 patients (3.4％) of Grade C respectively.The occurrence of Grade C anastomotic leakage was on the 3th day postoperatively,which was earlier than Grade B anastomotic leakage [5 (3,7) d,Z =2.746,P =0.006].There were significant differences in sex,BMI,placement of transanal decompression tube and tumor location between anastomotic leakage cases and non-anastomotic leakage cases by Chi-squared test (x2 =10.897,9.033,6.343,6.34,Z =-2.380,P ＜0.05).On multiple logistic regression analysis,male sex (OR =1.840,95 ％ CI:1.210-2.799,P =0.004),BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2 (OR =1.573,95 ％ CI:1.088-2.274,P =0.016),placement of transanal decompression tube(OR =2.418,95％ CI:1.196-4.888,P =0.014),middle rectal cancer (OR =1.536,95％ CI:O.836-2.822,P =0.167),low rectal cancer(OR =1.989,95％ CI:1.068-2.822,P =0.03),ultralow rectal cancer (OR =2.908,95％ CI:1.289-6.560,P =0.01) were independent risk factors of anastomotic leakage.Conclusion Male sex,high BMI,placement of transanal decompression tube and low rectal tumor were independent risk factors of anastomotic leakage for patients receiving LAR.

Objective: To investigate the short-term clinical efficacy of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration(LCBDE) with primary suture or T tube drainage in the management of choledocholithiasis. Methods: The retrospective cohort study was conducted from January 2014 to December 2018 with the clinical data of patients with choledocholithiasis being analyzed. A total of 863 patients were enrolled in this study. There were 431 males and 432 females. The median age was 60 (range 11 to 94). These patients had received LCBDE with primary suture (n=287) and T tube drainage (n=576) in the Department of General Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Observation indicators: (1)Preoperative blood biochemistry, including blood serum levels of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALT, AST, GGT. (2) Intraoperative conditions, including operation time, blood loss, diameter of common bile duct, number of common bile duct stone.(3)Short-term postoperative conditions, including postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications. Measurement data with non-normal distribution were described as M (P₂₅, P₇₅), and comparison between groups was done using Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups were analyzed using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis and subsequent multivariable logistic regression were used to investigated the factors affecting the selection of surgical methods. Results: (1) Blood serum levels of total bilirubin and direct bilirubin in the T tube drainage group were 17.0(12.2, 36.0) μmol/L, 7.6(4.9, 19.0) μmol/L, which were significantly higher than those of the primary suture group[15.7(11.8, 29.7) μmol/L, 6.7(4.4, 16.5) μmol/L)](Z=-2.023, -2.468, P<0.05). Preoperative blood serum levels of ALT, AST and GGT in the T tube drainage group were 56.7 (26.6, 128.8) U/L, 38.0(24.3, 75.8) U/L and 179.7(50.8, 394.4) U/L, the primary suture group were[68.2(24.8, 165.3) U/L, 35.5(22.8, 96.9) U/L and 235.2(74.9, 459.1) U/L], with no difference between the two groups (Z=-0.985, -0.437, -1.740, P>0.05). (2)The operation time of the primary suture group was 85(70, 100) min, which was significantly shorter than that of the T tube drainage group[97(75, 120) min](Z=-5.532, P<0.05). The diameter of common bile duct in the primary suture and T tube drainage group were 1.0(0.8, 1.2) cm and 1.0(0.8, 1.2) cm, respectively. Significant difference was observed between the two groups(Z=-2.071, P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss in the primary suture and T tube drainage group were 20(10, 50) ml and 20(20, 50) ml, with no difference between the two groups (Z=-0.477, P>0.05). 61.32%(176/287) and 67.36%(388/576) of patients in the primary suture group and T tube drainage group were found with multiple stones in the common bile duct, with no difference between the two groups (χ²=3.083, P>0.05). (3)The primary suture group showed shorter postoperative hospital stay compared with the T tube drainage group[4(3, 5) d vs 6(5, 6) d, Z=-12.057, P<0.05]. The primary suture group showed more patients with bile leakage (2.09%) compared with that of the T tube drainage group (0.35%). Multivariable logistic regression showed that the number of common bile duct stone, diameter of common bile duct, time period of surgery, surgery group were significant factors affecting the selection of surgical methods(OR=1.687, 2.423, 0.587, 4.632, 95%CI: 1.152-2.470, 1.519-3.865, 0.511-0.675, 3.698-5.802, P<0.05). Conclusions Although different surgeons showed different opinions with the method of primary suture, laparoscopic common duct exploration with primary suture is safe and reliable in the management of choledocholithiasis with shorter operation time and faster postoperative recovery. T tube drainage is not absolutely necessary in the management of choledocholithiasis. Patients with multiple common bile duct stone or large diameter of common bile duct are likely to receive T tube drainage.

Objective: To explore the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treatment of thyroid benign nodules. Methods: We analyze 573 patients with thyroid benign nodules from June 2014 to September 2017 treated by RFA at Department Ⅱof Thyroid Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Among these patients, there were 75 males and 498 females, with a median age of 45 years old. All patients were diagnosed as thyroid benign nodules by ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy before RFA. A total of 750 benign tumors were treated. To evaluate the thyroid function of the patients before RFA and 3 months after it, and to observe the changes of thyroid benign nodules by ultrasound at 3, 6, 12 months after RFA. The paired t-test was used to compare the measurement data with normal distribution, and Wilcoxon's signed rank test was used to compare the measurement data with non-normal distribution. To calculate the volume change and reduction rate of thyroid benign nodules. Results: RFA was successfully completed in all patients, the volume reduction rate was 67%(48%, 83%) in the 3rd month after RFA, in the 6th month was 81%(67%, 91%), in the 12th month was 89%(80%, 95%). Eighteen patients felt pain during RFA, but the pain was alleviated after stopping ablation. Three patients′ tone decreased, but recovered in a week. Hoarseness occurred in 6 patients and recovered in 3 months. Three patients had neck hemorrhage, which was managed with simple compression of the neck. Conclusions RFA is an effective and safe treatment for thyroid benign nodules and has obvious advantages such as less invasiveness, having no influence in thyroid functions. It is clinically prospective for application.
