Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of different mucosal incision methods in endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)for the treatment of gastric submucosal tumors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 30 patients with gastric submucosal tumors treated with ESD from July 2022 to March 2024.They were divided into a circular group(n=15)and a longitudinal group(n=15)based on different mucosal incision methods.Then compare the pathological data,clinical efficacy,surgical outcomes,and complications between the two groups.Results There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in length of hospital stay,hospitalization costs,lesion diameter,lesion location and lesion nature(P＞0.05).The surgical time of the longitudinal group was significantly shorter than that of the circular group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);There was no statistical significant in the incidence of intraoperative complications in the longitudinal group and the circular group(P＞0.05);The complete resection rate of the longitudinal group was lower than that of the circular group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion ESD treatment for gastric submucosal tumors is safe and effective,and the longitudinal incision can shorten the surgical time compared to the circular incision.Both methods have the characteristics of low incidence of complications and high complete resection rate,and are worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the feasibility,efficacy and safety of cold snare polypectomy(CSP)and endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR)in treatment of colonic adenoma in proximity to the orifice of appendix.Methods Clinical data of 41 cases of colonic adenoma in the orifice of appendix treated with CSP(CSP group)and 15 cases treated with EMR(EMR group)from January 2018 to January 2023 were collected.The clinicopathological features and outcomes were analyzed.The main outcome was postoperative complications,including bleeding,perforation and postoperative appendicitis,while the secondary outcome was the total resection rate,block resection rate and local recurrence rate.Results The operation time and treatment cost of CSP group were shorter than EMR group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The diameter of applicable lesions in CSP group was smaller than that in EMR group,and the proportion of lesions with tubular adenoma was significantly higher than that in EMR group.There were no significant differences in the time of admission,intestinal preparation score,length of stay,lesion morphology and lesion type between the two groups(P>0.05).Perforation and postoperative appendicitis were not observed in both groups,and delayed postoperative hemorrhage occurred in 1 case in the CSP group,but it could heal itself after surgery without endoscopic intervention.The complete resection rate was 100.0%in both groups.The total removal rate of CSP group was 100.0%,which was significantly higher than that of EMR group(86.7%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The local recurrence rate was 2.4%(1/41)in CSP group,and no local recurrence was observed in EMR group(0/15),with no statistical significance(P>0.05).Conclusion CSP and EMR are safe and effective in the treatment of colonic adenoma in proximity to the orifice of appendix,and they are trustworthy.Compared with EMR,CSP is more applied to small diameter tubular adenomas,which has the characteristics of economy and time saving,but at the same time there is the risk of recurrence.EMR obviously has a wider application range,but there is a disadvantage in price and time,and individual cases need to be segmented resection.

Background:Early diagnosis and treatment can effectively improve the prognosis of colon cancer.Simple,effective and sensitive screening indicators are of great significance for identification of early cancer and precancerous lesions.L-selectin is a cell adhesion molecule,and podocalyxin(PODXL)is its ligand,both of them play key roles in the development of cancer.Aims:To investigate the expression and significance of L-selectin and its ligand PODXL in colon cancer.Methods:A total of 120 cases of pathological specimens(40 hyperplastic polyp,40 colon adenoma,and 40 colon cancer)from Nov.2020 to Nov.2022 at the Frist People's Hospital of Hangzhou Lin'an District and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University were collected,and 20 cases of normal intestinal mucosal tissue were served as controls.qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of L-selectin and PODXL,respectively.Western blotting was used to determine the expressions of L-selectin and PODXL,and their relations with different clinicopathological parameters of colon cancer were analyzed.In addition,60 serum specimens of colon cancer were collected.ELISA was used to detect serum concentrations of L-selectin and PODXL.Results:Expressions of L-selectin and PODXL mRNA and protein in colon adenoma group were significantly higher than those in normal controls and hyperplastic polyp group(P<0.05),and mRNA and protein expressions of L-selectin and PODXL in colon cancer group were significantly higher than those in normal controls,hyperplastic polyp group and colon adenoma group(P<0.05).Significant differences in protein expressions of L-selectin and PODXL were found in different pathological types,lymph node metastasis,Dukes staging in colon cancer(P<0.05).Expression of L-selectin was positive correlated with expression of PODXL in colon cancer(r=0.855,P<0.001).Serum concentrations of L-selectin and PODXL were significantly lower in the initial group than in the relapse group(P<0.05),and serum concentrations of L-selection and PODXL was significantly lower in the non-metastatic group than in the metastatic group(P<0.05).Serum concentrations of L-selectin and PODXL at 3 months after surgery was significantly lower than 3 days after surgery and before surgery(P<0.05).Conclusions:L-selectin and PODXL may be involved in the development and progression of colon cancer.They are carcinogenic proteins,and their detection could provide reference value for the prevention and early diagnosis of colon cancer,and through early screening of lesion could improve the prognosis of colon cancer to a certain extent.

Background:Studies have confirmed that colorectal tumors may be caused by normal mucosa near or inside the diverticulum,and patients with colon diverticulum are more likely to develop colon cancer than those without diverticulum.When colorectal adenoma involves diverticulum,the inflammatory state in the diverticulum will increase the risk of adenomatous dysplasia.Therefore,adenomas involving colon diverticulum are more likely to develop malignant changes,and adenomas involving colon diverticulum need to be resected to avoid colon cancer outcomes.Improved prognosis.Aims:To explore the efficacy and safety of endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR)treatment of colorectal tumors near or involving a diverticulum.Methods:Fourteen consecutive cases of adenoma(near or involving a diverticulum)during EMR treatment from Jun.2018 to Jan.2022 were collected,and analyze their clinical characteristics and outcomes.The main outcomes were adverse events,including bleeding,perforation,and electrocoagulation syndrome,while the secondary outcome was the total resection rate,block resection rate and local recurrence rate.Results:Among the 14 patients with colon adenoma,1 case was inside the diverticulum,13 cases were near the diverticulum,the diameter of the lesion was(0.76±0.25)cm,the operation time was(19.6±5.33)min.The main tissue types were tubular adenomas,and the pathologic characteristics were low grade intraepithelial neoplasia.Among the complications,delayed hemorrhage was found in 1 case(7.1%),the patient had a history of taking antiplatelet drugs(clopidogrel),electrocoagulation syndrome was found in 1 case(7.1%),and appendiceal orifice and diverticulum were involved in this patient,with no perforation event.The whole resection rate and the complete resection rate were 100%(14/14).Within 1 year after surgery,10 patients came to the hospital for re-examination of colonoscopy,and no local recurrence was found.Conclusions:EMR treatment involving colonic diverticulum adenoma is safe and effective.However,patients with adenoma involving antiplatelet drugs and appendiceal orifice and diverticulum should be alert to postoperative complications.

Objective:To investigate the protective mechanism of TAK242, a specific inhibitor of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), on the liver of septic rats.Methods:Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups ( n = 6 in each group). The septic model was established by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 15 mg/kg. The rats in the TAK242 intervention group received intraperitoneal injection of TAK242 (5 mg/kg) before modeling, while the rats in the septic model group and the control group were injected with the same amount of solvent [10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) + 90% corn oil]. Six hours later, the blood of abdominal aorta was collected and the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The rats were sacrificed to obtain liver, the expression levels of TLR4, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-3 (caspase-3), nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65) were detected by Western blotting. Immunohistochemical staining was used to observe NF-κB p65 protein expression in liver, and hepatocyte injury was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Results:Serum ALT and AST levels in the septic model group were significantly higher than those in the control group [ALT (μg/L): 26.639±7.814 vs. 2.847±2.150, AST (μg/L): 28.442±8.417 vs. 5.779±3.019, both P < 0.01]. The ALT and AST levels in the TAK242 intervention group were significantly lower than those in septic model group [ALT (μg/L): 7.269±3.398 vs. 26.639±7.814, AST (μg/L): 3.580±3.115 vs. 28.442±8.417, both P < 0.01]. Light microscopy showed that the hepatocytes in the septic model group were disordered, with obvious cell edema and increased inflammatory cells infiltration; the hepatocytes in the TAK242 intervention group were more neatly arranged, with significantly reduced hepatocyte edema and reduced inflammatory cells infiltration. Western blotting results showed that caspase-3 protein expression in hepatic tissue of septic model group was significantly higher than that in the control group (caspase-3/GAPDH: 0.794±0.164 vs. 0.482±0.055, P < 0.05), and caspase-3 protein expression in the TAK242 intervention group significantly decreased than that in the septic model group (caspase-3/GAPDH: 0.482±0.056 vs. 0.794±0.164, P < 0.05), which indicated that TAK242 could attenuate hepatocytes apoptosis of septic rats. The expression of IL-6, TNF-α and TLR4 protein and the ratio of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 in hepatic tissue of septic model group were significantly higher than those in control group (IL-6/GAPDH: 1.442±0.204 vs. 1.019±0.024, TNF-α/GAPDH: 1.089±0.098 vs. 0.806±0.005, TLR4/GAPDH: 1.292±0.085 vs. 0.941±0.087, p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 ratio: 1.936±0.081 vs. 1.579±0.183, all P < 0.05), IL-6, TNF-α and TLR4 protein expression and p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 ratio in the TAK242 intervention group were significantly lower than those in septic model group (IL-6/GAPDH: 1.035±0.042 vs. 1.442±0.204, TNF-α/GAPDH: 0.572±0.096 vs. 1.089±0.098, TLR4/GAPDH: 0.984±0.078 vs. 1.292±0.085, p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 ratio: 1.484±0.255 vs. 1.936±0.081, all P < 0.05), it is suggested that LPS-induced sepsis could activate the inflammatory response mediated by TLR4/NF-κB pathway in liver, and the activation of TLR4/NF-κB pathway was inhibited by TAK242 through the TLR4 pathway, therefore, the inflammation of liver in septic rats was reduced. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the positive expression of NF-κB p65 in liver was significantly increased in the septic model group compared with the control group; the positive expression of NF-κB p65 was significantly reduced in the TAK242 intervention group compared with the septic model group, and there was almost no positive expression in the nucleus. Conclusion:TAK242 could reduce liver function injury and protect the liver by inhibition TLR4/NF-κB pathway in septic rats.
