Objective:To evaluate whether additional radical surgery is necessary following non-curative endoscopic resection of early colorectal cancer.Method:Clinicopathological data in 104 patients following non-curative endoscopic resection of early colorectal coucer at the Department of General Surgery, Peking University First Hospital between Jan 2011 and Dec 2021.Results:Lymph node metastasis and/or residual cancer was found in 23 patients (22%), including 12 cases of lymph node metastasis, 7 cases of residual cancer and 4 patients with both residual cancer and lymph node metastasis. Univariate analysis indicated that vascular infiltration, positive vertical margin, and female gender were risk factors for lymph node metastasis. Risk factors for residual cancer were tumors ≥2 cm in size, negative lift sign, infiltration depth of ≥1 000 μm, and positive horizontal and vertical margins. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that vascular invasion, positive vertical margins, and being female were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis, while positive vertical margins was independent risk factor for residual cancer. Salvage surgery lasted for a median of 184 (156-233) minutes, with an estimated blood loss of 50 (20-100) ml and an average postoperative hospital stay of 9 (8-11) days. Seven cases of Clavein-Dindo Ⅱ or higher complications were observed, including pulmonary embolism in 1 case , anastomotic leakage in one, lymphatic fistula in one, bowel obstruction in 2 cases and urinary tract infection in 2 cases.Conclusion:Salvage surgery is mandatory for early endoscopic non-curative resection of colorectal cancer.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective To investigate the value of depth of invasion (DOI) and pattern of invasion (POI) in predicting recurrence and evaluating prognosis of early oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods Data of 109 patients with primary OSCC were retrospectively collected. The chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables of clinical data. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the correlation between clinical data and tumor recurrence. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between clinical data and overall survival of patients. Results Univariate analysis showed that POI, DOI and pathological grade were correlated with recurrence and poor prognosis of early OSCC. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that DOI was an influencing factor for OSCC recurrence (OR=4.515, 95%CI, 1.283 to 15.894, P<0.05) and prognosis (HR=2.993, 95%CI, 1.225 to 7.317, P<0.05). There was a high correlation between POI and DOI of OSCC. Conclusion DOI ≥5 mm is considered as a relevant factor for recurrence and poor prognosis of early OSCC.

Objective:By analyzing the clinical data of patients with primary duodenal adenocarcinoma (PDA), the risk factors affecting the postoperative prognosis of PDA patients were discussed.Methods:The clinical data of 191 patients diagnosed with PDA in Peking University First Hospital from Jan 2009 to Dec 2022 were collected. The survival rate was calculated and the survival curve was plotted by Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate analysis was performed by Log-Rank test, and multivariate analysis was performed by COX proportional hazards regression model to obtain independent risk factors.Results:The median age of onset in patients with PDA is 65 years old, and the most common symptoms are abdominal pain and abdominal distension. Prognostic analysis showed that the survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 73.8%, 44.6%, and 23.0%. The analysis of Cox risk proportional regression model showed that preoperative CA19-9 level, depth of tumor invasion, degree of differentiation, TNM stage, and surgical mode were independent risk factors for the prognosis of PDA (all P<0.01). Conclusion:The overall incidence of PDA is low, but the prognosis is rather poor. Multvariable factors are associated with its prognosis and surgery is still the mainstay for hope of cure.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of extracorporeal shock wave combined with platelet rich plasma in the treatment of articular cartilage injury in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) rats based on the silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1)/forkhead transcription factor O1 (FoxO1) pathway.Methods:15 SD rats were used for platelet rich plasma extraction and 35 SD rats were randomly divided into blank control group, model group, extracorporeal shock wave group, platelet rich plasma group, and extracorporeal shock wave + platelet rich plasma group. Each group had 7 cases. After the intervention, HE staining of articular cartilage tissue was used to observe changes in articular cartilage morphology, Mankin score was used for pathological evaluation, CCK-8 method was used to detect chondrocyte vitality and proliferation, ELISA method was used to detect inflammatory factor levels in joint fluid, and Western Blot method was used to detect the expression levels of Sirt1 and acely-FoxO1/FoxO1 in five groups of articular cartilage tissue.Results:The HE staining of articular cartilage tissue showed that model group, extracorporeal shock wave group, platelet rich plasma group, and extracorporeal shock wave + platelet rich plasma group had varying degrees of pathological damage, with model group having the most severe pathological damage, while the other three experimental groups had no significant differences. The Mankin score and the level of acely-FoxO1/FoxO1 in articular cartilage tissue showed that blank control group < extracorporeal shock wave + platelet rich plasma group < platelet rich plasma group < extracorporeal shock wave group < model group (all P < 0.05). The results of Sirt1 level in articular cartilage tissue, activity, and proliferation ability of articular chondrocytes showed that model group < extracorporeal shock wave group < platelet rich plasma group < extracorporeal shock wave + platelet rich plasma group < blank control group (all P < 0.05). Comparison of inflammatory factor levels in joint fluid, blank control group < extracorporeal shock wave + platelet rich plasma group < extracorporeal shock wave group < platelet rich plasma group < model group (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The combination of extracorporeal shock wave and platelet rich plasma can promote the proliferation of osteoarthritis chondrocytes and alleviate joint inflammation and cartilage damage in KOA rats by upregulating Sirt1 expression and downregulating FoxO1 acetylation levels.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) combined with total pelvic exenteration (TPE) in the treatment of primary T4b rectal cancer. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinicopathological data of 31 patients with primary T4b rectal cancer who underwent TPE from January 2008 to December 2015 at Peking University First Hospital. INCLUSION CRITERIA: preoperative clinical stage (cTNM) was defined as cT4b primary rectal cancer with only front wall Invasion; the lower edge of tumor was within 10 cm from the anal margin; TPE was performed; R0 resection was confirmed by pathology. Patients with recurrent rectal cancer, distant metastasis, and undergoing TPE for non-rectal tumors were excluded. Patients were divided into nCRT group and non-nCRT group according to whether receiving nCRT before surgery. The nCRT group received long course radiotherapy (total dose 50 Gy in 25 daily fractions) with concomitant chemotherapy (Capecitabine), and the surgery was performed 6-8 weeks after the neoadjuvant chemoradiation, while the non-nCRT group received surgery directly. The intraoperative, postoperative and pathological conditions and local recurrence were compared between the two groups. The survival curves were drawn by Kaplan-Meier method and the survival of two groups were compared. RESULTS: A total of 31 patients were enrolled, including 13 patients in the nCRT group and 18 patients in the non-nCRT group. The baseline data, such as age, duration of disease, preoperative basic disease, body mass index, smoking rate, and tumor distance from the anal margin, were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). In the nCRT group and non-nCRT group respectively, the ratio of anal preservation was 30.8%(4/13) and 38.9%(7/18) (P=0.468), the median intraoperative blood loss was 1 000 ml and 800 ml (P=0.644), the operation time was (531.7±137.2) minutes and (498.0±90.1) minutes (P=0.703), the median hospital stay was 18 days and 14 days (P=0.400), the morbidity of complications within 30 days after surgery was 23.1%(3/13) and 38.9%(7/18)(P=0.452), the incidence of postoperative abdominal abscess was 15.4%(2/13) and 0 (P=0.168), the proportion of secondary surgery was 7.7%(1/13) and 11.1%(2/18)(P=1.000), whose differences were not significantly different. The proportion of postoperative pathological pT4b in whole group was 58.1%(18/31), including 53.8%(7/13) in nCRT group and 61.1%(11/18) in non-nCRT group, which was not significantly different between the two groups (P=0.691). The number of harvested lymph node in nCRT group was 13.5±5.9, which was significantly less than 23.0±11.8 in non-nCRT group (P=0.013). There was no pathological complete remission (ypCR) case in nCRT group, and among 13 patients, tumor regression grade (TRG) of 2, 3, 4, and 5 was in 1 case (7.7%), 6 cases (46.2%), 5 cases(38.5%), and 1 case (7.7%), respectively. The median follow-up time was 33 (2 to 115) months, and the follow-up rate was 93.5%(29/31). One case was lost in both the nCRT group and non-nCRT group. The 3-year disease-free survival rate was 43.5% in pooled data, and was 43.6% and 43.3% in nCRT group and non-CRT group respectively without significant difference (P=0.833). The 3-year overall survival rate was 51.1% in pooled data, and was 45.7% and 54.7% in nCRT group and non-nCRT group respectively without significant difference (P=0.653).The local recurrence rate of nCRT and non-nCRT groups was 8.3%(1/12) and 5.9%(1/17) respectively, and the distant metastasis rate was 50.0%(6/12) and 41.2%(7/17) respectively, whose differences were not statistically significant as well (P=1.000 and P=0.865, respectively). CONCLUSION For primary T4b rectal cancer which can achieve R0 resection through total pelvic exenteration, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy has not been demonstrated any advantage in tumor regression, reducing local recurrence, or improving survival, and may increase postoperative complications.

Objectives: To examine the value of multi-slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) in the analysis of anatomical variation and structural classification of right colon vessels. Methods: From August 2015 to August 2017, 198 patients (96 of whom underwent laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer) at Department of General surgery of Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively collected, and the results of abdominal enhanced CT scan were collected and three-dimensional reconstruction of blood vessels was performed. There were 104 males and 94 females. The age was 64(27) years (M(Q_R), range: 19 to 87 years). Right gastroepiploic vein, anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal vein, right colonic vein (RCV), superior right colonic vein, ileocolon artery or vein (ICA or ICV), middle colon artery or vein (MCA or MCV) and Henle trunk were observed and recorded respectively. The anatomical relationship between the positions of blood vessels, the length of Henle trunk and surgical trunk were measured. Results: ICV and ICA were the most constant anatomic structures. The ICV/ICA of all patients came directly from SMV/SMA, 36.9% (73/198) ICV going in front of SMV and 63.1% (125/198) behind SMV. 72.2% (143/198) of the patients had RCV imported into Henle trunk and the rest into SMV. Middle colonic vein (MCV) could be observed in 81.3% (161/198) of the cases. 81.4% (131/161) of MCV were imported into SMV, 16.8% (27/161) into Henle trunk, 1.2% (2/161) into the first jejunal vein and 0.6% (1/161) into the splenic vein. Henle trunk was divided into 4 types, among which the occurrence probability of gastric node and pancreatic trunk was the highest. The dry length of Henle trunk was (0.82±0.39) cm (range: 0.37 to 1.68 cm). The length of surgical trunk was (2.54±0.83) cm (range: 1.57 to 3.95 cm). Accuracy of MSCTA results was 96.9%(93/96). Conclusions Anatomical variation of blood vessels in the right colon is common. Abdominal CT angiography can accurately determine the anatomical structure of the blood vessels in the right colon.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors and computed tomography (CT) diagnostic accuracy of anastomotic leakage after resection of rectal cancer (Dixon) . Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in Peking University First Hospital from January 2013 to June 2015. A cohort of 452 patients with rectal cancer was enrolled in the study. All the patients underwent anterior resection. The relationship between clinical-pathological data (including sex, age, body mass index (BMI) , presence of diabetes, hypohemoglobin (Hb < 90 g/L) , hypoalbuminemia (Alb < 35 g/L) , the distance from the lower edge of the tumors to the anus, tumor diameter, tumor differentiation, tumor TNM stage, neoadjuvant therapy status, ligation of the left colonic artery (LCA) , preventive colostomy, and anastomotic leakage was analyzed retrospectively. Univariate analysis using χ² test and multivariate analysis by using the Ordered Classification Arguments Logistic regression model. Results: Of all the cases, 281 and 171 patients were men and women, respectively. The median age was 64 years (range, 18-88 years) . Forty-seven patients (10.4%) were diagnosed with anastomotic leakage, and the median diagnostic time of anastomotic leakage was 6.5 days (range, 3-31 days) . One patient with anastomotic leakage died because of respiratory failure within 1 month postoperatively; 11 patients underwent salvage colostomy performed 2-34 days (median, 7 days) after the first surgery. All the 11 patients underwent colostomy closure within 2 years. The other 35 patients recovered by antibiotic and peritoneal lavage treatment. The mean length of postoperative hospital stay in patients without anastomotic leakage was 8.4±2.4 days, which was significantly shorter than that in patients with anastomotic leakage (34.6±15.7 days) , and the difference was statistically significant (t = 24.127, P = 0.008) . The results of the univariate analysis showed that BMI≥28 kg/m² (χ² = 7.550, P = 0.000) , diabetes mellitus (χ² = 5.055, P = 0.025) , Hb < 90 g/L preoperatively (χ² = 5.718, P = 0.017) , Alb < 35 g/L preoperatively (χ² = 8.096, P = 0.004) , distance of < 6 cm from the lower edge of the tumors to the anus (χ² = 8.205, P = 0.004) and LCA ligation (χ² = 16.540, P = 0.000) were risk factors for the occurrence of anastomotic leakage. Multivariate analysis showed that BMI≥28 kg/m² (OR = 1.758, 95%CI: 1.265-2.454, P = 0.021) , distance of < 6 cm from the lower edge of the tumors to the anus (OR=1.530, 95%CI: 1.035-2.117, P = 0.037) , LCA ligation (OR = 1.551, 95%CI: 1.035-2.131, P = 0.042) were independent risk factors for anastomotic leakage. The CT diagnostic sensitivity of anastomotic leakage was 91.2% (31/34) . The false positive rate of CT for diagnosing anastomotic leakage was zero 7 days after the Dixon procedure. Conclusion Important factors, including BMI of patients, LCA ligation, and the distance from the lower edge of the tumors to the anus are related with anastomotic leakage. The individual treatments should be considered based on the patient′s clinical condition. CT was recommended 7 days postoperatively when anastomotic leakage was highly suspected.

Objective: To study the pathology and its significance of early colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods: A total of consecutive 113 cases were collected at the endoscopy center from August 2012 to June 2016, which were diagnosed as early colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions and undergone ESD. According to Japanese colorectal cancer treatment guidelines, specimens were processed and pathologically evaluated for histological type, tumor diameter, depth of invasion, budding grading, vessel invasion, and horizontal and vertical margin, as well as curative resection. Results: There were 63 cases of adenoma (55.75%), including 29(25.66%) tubular adenoma, 2(1.77%) villous adenoma, and 32(28.32%) villioustublar adenoma. Thirty-four cases of serrated lesion were found, which included 19(16.81%) traditional serrated adenoma, 11(9.73%) sessile serrated adenoma, and 4(3.54%) hyperplasic polyp. There were also 16(14.16%) cases of early colorectal cancer with 7 cases of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, 7 cases of moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma, 1 case of poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma, and 1 case of mucinous adenocarcinoma. Vessel invasion were observed in 2 of 16 cases of early colorectal cancer which were both moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma in sigmoid colon. The vertical margins were negative in 108(95.58%) of 113 cases. Positive vertical margin were found in only 1 case (moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma, pT1b2) and another case was suspected as positive. The rest 3 cases could not be precisely diagnosed. The horizontal margins were negative in 80(70.80%) of 113 cases and positive horizontal margin were found in 20(17.7%) cases (19 adenoma and 1 moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma). Thirteen cases cannot be precisely diagnosed. Histologically, complete resection rate was 82.30%. The complete resection rate of invasive adenocarcinoma was 93.75%. Among 16 cases of invasive adenocarcinoma, 5 cases (curative rate: 31.25%) were judged as curative resection whereas 11 cases were considered as non-curative resection. Seven non-curative resection cases were treated with further surgery and did not relapse after the follow-up. Conclusion The standardized processing and precise histopathological evaluation are key factors for colorectal ESD technique, which play an important role in the success of endoscopic therapy.
