Background and purpose:The colorectal cancer screening program for community residents in Shanghai has been implemented for 12 years since 2013.This study aimed to analyze the impact of screening on the colorectal cancer incidence,stage and survival outcomes based on their screening participation status.Methods:This study used registry-based cohort study method.The registered residents in Shanghai from 2013 to 2017 who met the screening age range were divided into screening group and non-screening group.The data of colorectal cancer cases after being included in groups were obtained from the Population Based Cancer Registry.We calculated age-standardized cumulative incidence and age-group cumulative incidence,diagnosis stage and survival rate of colorectal cancer by gender,age and year of diagnosis.We used the Joinpoint regression method to calculate the annual change percentage for cumulative incidence trend analysis.The life table method and EdererⅡ method were used to calculate the 5-year observed survival rates and expected survival rates of colorectal cancer cases.Finally the 5-year relative survival rates were obtained.Results:The study included 1 687 689 participants aged 50-74 in screening group and 4 713 307 participants in non-screening group.During a 5-year follow-up period,there were 10 333 and 20 904 new cases of colorectal cancer diagnosed in the two groups,respectively.The age-standardized 5-year cumulative incidence in the screening group was 555.33/105,with an average annual increase of 33.32%(P＜0.05).The age-standardized 5-year cumulative incidence in the non-screening group was 529.85/105,with an average annual increase of 48.13%(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the screening group and the non-screening group in the age-standardized 5-year cumulative incidence(X=0.25,P=0.804).The lower the age group,the greater the difference between the screening group and the non-screening group in the annual average change percentage of the age-standardized cumulative incidence.The stages 0-Ⅰ of newly diagnosed colorectal cancer cases in the screening group and non-screening group accounted for 14.70%and 7.46%,respectively,with a statistically significant difference in composition between the two groups(P＜0.05).The 5-year relative survival rate of the screening group was 73.94%,while the non-screening group was 59.66%.The survival rate indicators of the former were significantly higher than those of the latter,and the difference was statistically significant.The survival rate of the former was significantly higher than that of the latter(73.94%vs 59.66%),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The survival rate of females in both groups of cases was higher than that of males,and the survival rate decreased with increasing age-groups at diagnosis.Conclusion:With the implementation of the colorectal cancer screening program,the growth trend of the incidence rate of colorectal cancer among the screening participants has been curbed,and the early stages of colorectal cancer cases diagnosed and the 5-year survival rate were significantly improved.In order to reduce the incidence rate of colorectal cancer in the whole population,it is necessary to vigorously promote the screening coverage of the appropriate population,especially to increase the proportion of lower age groups participating in screening.We should also pay attention to the screening quality of the elderly groups and improve the compliance of colonoscopy in high-risk participants.At the same time,we should further optimize the refined management of screening for different genders,ages,and risk groups.

Objective:To observe any effect of dynamic instability training on the balance and posture control of persons with chronic ankle instability (CAI).Methods:Thirty persons with CAI were divided at random into a control group and an observation group, each of 15. Both groups received routine rehabilitation interventions (including ankle strength training, kinesio taping, and vibration training), while the observation group additionally underwent 20 minutes of dynamic instability training daily, 5 days a week for 4 consecutive weeks. Before and after the treatment, everyone′s balance was evaluated using the Berg balance scale (BBS) and the star moving balance test (SEBT). Surface electromyography (sEMG) was used to collect electromyograms of the affected peroneus longus, tibialis anterior, rectus femoris and medialis femoris muscles of both groups within 100ms before and after landing in the jump-landing test. The intensity of muscle activation was thus analyzed.Results:After the treatment there was significant improvement in the average BBS scores, anterior medial SEBT, medial SEBT and posterior medial SEBT results of both groups. On average, all three SEBT results [(80.27±4.06)cm, (90.27±4.06)cm and (97.73±3.47)cm respectively] were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group. The standardized integrated electromyographs of the peroneus longus, tibialis anterior, rectus femoris and medialis femoris muscles on the affected sides showed significant improvement compared with before the treatment, but there too the observation group′s results were significantly better than those of the control group.Conclusions:Combining dynamic instability training with conventional rehabilitation can further improve the balance and postural control of persons with chronic ankle instability.

Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of directional atherectomy with anti-restenosis therapy(DAART,drug-coated balloon)versus conventional balloon angioplasty(bare-metal stent,BMS)in elderly patients with femoropopliteal artery disease.Methods A retrospec-tive cohort study was conducted on 116 elderly patients undergoing endovascular intervention due to femoropopliteal artery disease in our hospital between May 2016 and September 2019,divided into DAART group(57 cases)and BMS group(59 cases).Results No statistical differences were observed between the DAART and BMS groups in terms of age,risk factors,distribution of Ruth-erford classification,lesion length,lesion type,lesion location,Global Limb Anatomic Staging Sys-tem grade,infra-popliteal runoff status,or preoperative ankle-brachial index(P＞0.05).However,the BMS group had significantly larger proportion of chronic limb-threatening ischemia than the other group(P＜0.05).Both groups achieved a 100％success rate of surgery.The DAART group obtained obviously higher primary patency rates at 1 and 2 years than the BMS group(90.4％vs 75.0％,76.3％vs 57.3％;P＜0.045).There were no significant differences in the rate of freedom from target lesion revascularization at 1 and 2 years between the two group(96.1％vs 88.8％,91.6％vs 77.7％;P＞0.05).In 2 years of follow-up,the incidence of major adverse events was 10.0％(5 cases)in the DAART group and 20.8％(12 cases)in the BMS group,but no obvious difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion DAART demonstrates superior mid-term efficacy than BMS in treating femoropopliteal artery disease in elderly patients.However,comprehensive preoperative assessment is essential to optimize individualized treatment strategies for this population.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of using the Taylor spatial frame (TSF) based on the Ilizarov tension-stress principle for treatment of post-burn foot and ankle deformities in adults. METHODS: A clinical data of 6 patients with post-burn foot and ankle deformities treated between April 2019 and November 2023 was retrospectively analyzed. There was 1 male and 5 females with an average age of 28.7 years (range, 20-49 years). There were 3 cases of simple ankle equinus, 2 cases of ankle equinus, midfoot rocker-bottom foot, and forefoot pronation, and 1 case of calcaneus foot and forefoot pronation. Preoperative American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was 45.3±18.2, 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12)-Physical Component Summary (PCS) score was 34.3±7.3 and Mental Component Summary (MCS) score was 50.4±8.8. Imaging examination showed tibial-calcaneal angle of (79.8±31.5)°, calcaneus-first metatarsal angle of (154.5±45.3)°, talus-first metatarsal angle of (-19.3±35.0)°. Except for 1 case with severe deformity that could not be measured, the remaining 5 cases had talus-second metatarsal angle of (40.6±16.4)°. The deformities were fixed with TSF after soft tissue release and osteotomy. Then, the residual deformities were gradually corrected according to software-calculated prescriptions. TSF was removed after maximum deformity correction and osteotomy healing. External fixation time, brace wearing time after removing the TSF, and pin tract infection occurrence were recorded. Infection severity was evaluated based on Checketts-Otterburns grading. Joint function was evaluated using AOFAS score and SF-12 PCS and MCS scores. Patient satisfaction was assessed using Likert score. Imaging follow-up measured relevant indicators to evaluate the degree of deformity correction. Deformity recurrence was observed during follow-up. RESULTS: The external fixation time was 103-268 days (mean, 193.5 days). The mild pin tract infections occurred during external fixation in all patients, which healed after pin tract care and oral antibiotics. No serious complication such as osteomyelitis, fractures, neurovascular injury, or skin necrosis occurred. After external fixation removal, 3 cases did not wear braces, while the remaining 3 cases wore braces continuously for 6 weeks, 8 weeks, and 3 years, respectively. All patients were followed up 13.9-70.0 months, with an average of 41.7 months. During follow-up, none of the 6 patients had recurrence of foot deformity. At 1 year after operation, the AOFAS score was 70.0±18.1, SF-12-PCS and MCS scores were 48.9±4.5 and 58.8±6.4, respectively, all showing significant improvement compared to preoperative values ( P<0.05). Imaging follow-up showed that all osteotomies healed, and all distraction cases achieved bony union at 6 months after stopping stretching. At 1 year after operation, tibial-calcaneal angle was (117.5±12.8)° and talus-first metatarsal angle was (-3.3±19.3)°, both showing significant improvement compared to preoperative values ( P<0.05). Calcaneus-first metatarsal angle was (132.0±14.4)°, which also improved compared to preoperative values but without significant difference ( P>0.05). Except for 1 case with severe deformity that could not be measured, the remaining 5 cases had talus-second metatarsal angle of (18.0±6.4)°. And there was no significant difference ( P>0.05) between pre-and post-operative data of 4 patients with complete data. At 1 year after operation, 1 patient was satisfied with effectiveness and 5 patients were very satisfied. CONCLUSION The TSF, by applying the Ilizarov tension-stress principle for gradual distraction and multi-planar adjustment, combined with soft tissue release and osteotomy, can effectively correct foot and ankle deformities after burns, especially equinus deformity with contracture of the posterior soft tissues of the lower leg. There are still limitations in treating cases with tight, adherent scars on the dorsum of the foot that require long-distance distraction. If necessary, a multidisciplinary approach combined with microsurgical techniques can be utilized.

Objective:To explore the predictors and reasons for restenosis in patients with Takayasu′s arteritis(TA) involved renal artery after plain old balloon angioplasty(POBA).Methods:The clinical data of 47 TA patients (47) with renal artery admitted to Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2014 to December 2020 were analyzed, including 12 man and 35 female. The age ranged from 21 to 43 years old, with an average of (28.52±10.78) years old. All patient were diagnosed as TA and underwent POBA. The patients were divided into restenosis group ( n=18) and non-restenosis group ( n=29). The patients were followed up at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, and after 6 months, the patients were followed up every 6 months. All patients were followed up from 36 to 108 months.The basic clinical data of the two groups were compared, and the length of stent and residual stenosis were also compared. Measurement data were expressed as ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison between groups. Counting data were expressed as the number of cases and percentage, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors of restenosis after balloon dilation, and the OR value and 95% confidence interval were calculated. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors for restenosis after balloon dilation. Results:All patients received POBA and operation was successfully. Restenosis was found in 18 patients, and 29 patients remained normal during the follow-up. The primary patency rate was 61.7%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that HDL-C and lesion length were the influencing factors of restenosis after POBA in TA of renal artery. The serum HDL-C level was significantly lower and the lesion was significantly longer in restenosis group than in non-restenosis group ( P<0.05). The proportion of residual stenosis>20% was higher in restenosis group than in non-restenosis group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Serum HDL-C level, lesion length may be may be independent influencing factors of restenosis after plain old balloon angioplasty in TA of the renal artery restenosis.

Objective:The study retrospectively analyzed the etiology, clinical manifestations, emergency treatment and etiological treatment of a large sample of cases with hypercalcemic crisis.Methods:The clincial data of patients with hypercalcaemia cirisis who were administered in First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2009 to July 2022 were analyzed, inculding the general data, clinical manifestations, etiology, photographic examination, emergency treatment, etiological treatment, serological examination before and after treatment, pathological immunohistochemical findings and prognosis.Results:A total of 143 hypercalcaemia crisis patients(84 males and 59 females) with a mean age of 53.51±16.60 were enrolled. The most common disease was hyperparathyroidism(62/143), followed by solid malignancy(57/143) and multiple myeloma(12/143). Patients presented with digestive system symptoms at 76.91%, followed by neurological symptoms at 63.60%, urinary system symptoms at 58.76%, musculoskeletal symptoms at 55.23%, and cardiovascular system symptoms at 32.91%. After emergency calcium-lowering treatment, the remission rate of hypercalcemic crisis in 143 patients was 100%(143/143), and after etiological treatment, the remission rate of hypercalcemia was 85.31%(122/143).Conclusion:Early identification, emergency treatment and etiology treatment of hypercalcaemia crisis are essential. Effective treament with comprehensive calcium reduction can quickly relieve clinical symptoms and create opportunities for treatment for the cause. Targeted etiological interventions can lead to the correction or long-term remission of hypercalcemia.
