In the past 30 years, gastrointestinal surgery in China has made significant progress, which is reflected in the gradual standardization of clinical diagnosis and treatment, significant improvement in surgical quality, improvement in short-term and long-term postoperative outcomes, and continuous development of high-quality clinical research. At present, the spectrum of disease in gastrointestinal surgery has changed from traditional benign diseases to malignant diseases represented by gastric cancer and colorectal cancer, metabolic diseases represented by obesity and diabetes, and immune diseases represented by inflammatory bowel disease. It is necessary to carry out full-cycle management for patients. In the new era full of opportunities and challenges, surgeons must be driven by innovation in surgical technology, guided by high-quality clinical research and guaranteed by standardized diagnosis and treatment of diseases, to continue to promote the high-quality development of gastrointestinal surgery in China.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of ABCB1 genotypes on the efficacy and safety of taxanes in the treatment of breast cancer. METHODS By searching Embase,the Cochrane Library, PubMed, CNKI, and Wanfang databases, cohort studies and case-control studies about taxanes in the treatment of breast cancer were collected from the establishment of the database to July 2023. After screeningliterature, extracting data and evaluating quality, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 11 studies were included, involving 1 321 patients. There was no correlation between the three genotypes and effective rate, the incidence of myelosuppression, the incidence of neurotoxicity (except for the allele and recessive model of ABCB1 C1236T), and the incidence of hypersensitivity reactions (P>0.05). The subgroup analysis showed that there was a correlation between ABCB1 C1236T dominant model and effective rate when using anthracyclines+5-fluorouracil+cyclophosphamide+taxanes (P<0.05), there was a correlation between ABCB1 C3435T recessive model and effective rate when using taxanes+trastuzumab (P<0.05). ABCB1 C1236T allele model and recessive model were correlated with sample size ≥100 and using cyclophosphamide+epirubicin+5- fluorouracil+paclitaxel or cyclophosphamide+epirubicin+paclitaxel+trastuzumab or cyclophosphamide+epirubicin+5-fluorouracil+ trastuzumab+paclitaxel regimens; recessive model with sample size <100 and the African region were correlated with the incidence of peripheral neuropathy; recessive model was correlated with cutaneous adverse reactions (P<0.05). ABCB1 C3435T recessive model was correlated with the incidence of reduced neutrophil count with sample size ≥100; the incidence of white blood cell count reduction with sample size <100 and using docetaxel+epirubicin+cyclophosphamide was correlated with both the allele model and the dominant model; the incidence of infections was correlated with the dominant model (P<0.05). The incidence of neutrophil count reduction with the sample size <100 was correlated with allele model of ABCB1 G2677T/A; the incidence of edema with sample size ≥100 was correlated with allele model and recessive model; the incidence of infection was correlated with allele model and dominant model, especially in patients with neutrophil count complicated with fever (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS ABCB1 genotypes are not correlated with effective rate of taxanes in the treatment of breast cancer, but ABCB1 C3435T genotype is associated with decreased neutrophil counts, decreased white blood cell counts and infections; ABCB1 C1236T genotype is associated with neurotoxicity and cutaneous adverse reactions; ABCB1 G2677T/A genotype is associated with decreased neutrophil counts, infections, and edema.

Objective:To analyze the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics for a child with Canavan disease.Methods:A child who was admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University on April 9, 2021 for inability to uphold his head for 2 months and increased muscle tone for one week was subjected to whole exome sequencing, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.Results:Genetic testing revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the ASPA gene, including a paternally derived c. 556_559dupGTTC (p. L187Rfs*5) and a maternally derived c.919delA (p. S307Vfs*24). Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, both variants were predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting+ PM3). Conclusion:The c. 556_559dupGTTC (p.L187Rfs*5) and c. 919delA (p.S307Vfs*24) compound heterozygous variants of the ASPA gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of Canavan disease in this child.

Objective:To explore the clinical and genetic features of two Chinese pedigrees affected with Autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 49 (MRD49).Methods:Two MRD49 pedigrees which were admitted to the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University respectively on January 28, 2021 and November 10, 2022 were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data of the two pedigrees were collected and analyzed. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the probands and their family members. The probands were subjected to mutational analysis by high-throughput sequencing. Candidate variants were validated using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (q-PCR) or Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University (No. SDFE-IRB/T-2022002).Results:Proband 1 had presented with language delay, motor retardation and intellectual disability, and his maternal grandmother, mother, aunt and cousin all had various degrees of intellectual disability. Sequencing results showed that proband 1 had deletion of exons 3 ~ 7 of the TRIP12 gene. q-PCR verification showed that his mother, aunt, maternal grandmother and cousin had all harbored the same deletion. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was classified as pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting+ PP1). Proband 2, who had mainly presented with language delay, motor retardation and intellectual disability, and was found to harbor a heterozygous c.3010C>T (p.Arg1004*) variant of the TRIP12 gene, which was verified to be de novo in origin. Based on the guidelines from the ACMG, the variant was classified as pathogenic (PVS1+ PS2+ PM2_Supporting). Conclusion:This study had diagnosed two MRD49 families through high-throughput sequencing. Above findings have enriched the phenotypic and mutational spectrum of MRD49 in China, which has also facilitated genetic counseling for the two pedigrees.

Background::The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) in China are increasing in recent years. The clarified pathogenesis and detectable precancerous lesions of CRC make it possible to prevent, screen, and diagnose CRC at an early stage. With the development of endoscopic and surgical techniques, the choice of treatment for early CRC is also worth further discussion, and accordingly, a standard follow-up program after treatment needs to be established.Methods::This clinical practice guideline (CPG) was developed following the recommended process of the World Health Organization, adopting Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) in assessing evidence quality, and using the Evidence to Decision framework to formulate clinical recommendations, thereby minimizing bias and increasing transparency of the CPG development process. We used the Reporting Items for practice Guidelines in HealThcare (RIGHT) statement and Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) as reporting and conduct guides to ensure the guideline’s completeness and transparency.Results::This CPG comprises 46 recommendations concerning prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of CRC. In these recommendations, we have indicated protective and risk factors for CRC and made recommendations for chemoprevention. We proposed a suitable screening program for CRC based on the Chinese context. We also provided normative statements for the diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of CRC based on existing clinical evidence and guidelines.Conclusions::The 46 recommendations in this CPG are formed with consideration for stakeholders’ values and preferences, feasibility, and acceptability. Recommendations are generalizable to resource-limited settings with similar CRC epidemiology pattern as China.

Objective:To investigate the specimen quality of intersphincteric resection with transabdominal transanal mixed approach for rectal cancer in the Chinese Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision Registry Collaborative (CTRC) database.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. Based on the concept of real-world research, the clinicopathological data of 281 pati-ents with rectal cancer in the CTRC database who underwent intersphincteric resection with trans-abdominal transanal mixed approach in 19 medical centers, including the Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University et al, from November 15,2017 to December 31,2023 were collected. There were 196 males and 85 females, aged 61(range, 27-87)years. Observation indicators: (1) preoperative examinations; (2) neoadjuvant therapy; (3) postoperative examinations; (4) analysis of influencing factors for positive circumferential margin in surgical specimen of intersphincteric resec-tion for rectal cancer. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages. The chi-square test was used for univariate analysis. Logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis. Results:(1) Preoperative examinations. Of the 281 patients, 234 cases underwent preoperative pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examina-tion. There were 2 cases in clinical stage T0, 3 cases in clinical stage T1, 58 cases in clinical stage T2, 137 cases in clinical stage T3, 24 cases in clinical stage T4, 3 cases in clinical stage Tx, 7 cases missing clinical T staging data. There were 87 cases in clinical stage N0, 68 cases in clinical stage N1, 60 cases in clinical stage N2, 9 cases in clinical stage Nx, 10 cases missing clinical N staging data. There were 30 cases with mesorectal fascia invasion, 53 cases with extramural venous invasion. The distance from lower margin of tumor to anal margin was 41.9(range, 1.0-80.0)mm. (2) Neoadjuvant therapy. Of the 281 patients, 125 cases underwent neoadjuvant therapy, including 39 cases receiving chemo-therapy alone, 6 cases receiving short-course simultaneous chemoradiotherapy, 5 cases receiving short-course simultaneous chemoradiotherapy and delayed surgery, 48 cases receiving long-course simultaneous chemoradiotherapy, 2 cases receiving other treatments, and 25 cases missing neoadju-vant therapy data. (3) Postoperative examinations. Of the 281 patients, 249 cases achieved R 0 resection, 9 cases achieved R 1 resection, and there were 23 cases missing surgical margin data. The maximum tumor diameter, the number of lymph nodes harvested and positive rate of vessel carcinoma embolus were 30.0(range, 0.5-200.0)mm, 13(range, 0-70) and 27.55%(73/265) in 281 patients. There were 252 patients with circumferential margin records, showing positive in 15 cases, with a positive rate as 5.95%(15/252). The minimum distance from deep part of tumor to circumferential margin was 7.0(range, 0-150.0)mm in 252 patients. There were 85 cases with distal margin records, showing positive in 1 case, and the distance from lower margin of tumor to distal margin was 10.0(range, 0-202.0)mm. There were 273 patients with specimen integrity records, which showed intact specimen in 208 cases, fair specimen in 58 cases, poor specimen in 4 cases, unevaluated specimen in 3 cases. There were 7 cases with rectal perforation. Of the 281 patients, cases in pathological stage T0, Tis, T1, T2, T3, T4 were 14, 5, 22, 107, 113, 12, respectively, and there were 8 cases missing pathological T staging data. Of the 281 patients, cases in pathological stage N0, N1a, N1b, N1c, N2a, N2b were 176, 27, 27, 11,20, 12, respectively, and there were 8 cases missing pathological N staging data. Of the 281 patients, there were 4 cases with distant metastasis, 262 cases without distant metastasis, 5 cases not evaluated, and 10 cases missing tumor metastasis data. Of the 125 patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy, there were 85 cases with tumor regression grade records, including 16 cases as grade 1, 27 cases as grade 2, 19 cases as grade 3, 15 cases as grade 4, 8 cases as grade 5. (4) Analysis of influencing factors for positive circumferential margin in surgical specimen of intersphincteric resection for rectal cancer. Results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative T staging on preoperative pelvic MRI, mesorectal fascia invasion, extramural venous invasion, pathological T staging, and pathological N staging were related factors for positive circumferential margin in surgical specimen of intersphincteric resection for rectal cancer ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Intersph-incteric resection with transabdominal transanal mixed approach has good specimen quality and low positive rate of surgical margin. T staging on preoperative pelvic MRI may be related to positive circumferential margin after intersphincteric resection for rectal cancer.
