Objective To explore influencing factors in diagnosing stump vaginal lesions by comparing the clinical data of patients with vaginal wall resection after total hysterectomy.Methods This retrospective study included patients who underwent vaginectomy due to stump vaginal lesions[including high-grade intraepithelial lesion(HSIL)or cancer]in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University between Jan 1,2013 and Sep 30,2022.The diagnosis was confirmed based on pathology results after vaginal stump resection,then patients were categorized into HSIL group and vaginal cancer(VC)group.We analyzed the differences in clinical features between the groups and evaluated the diagnostic value of various indicators for vaginal cancer.Additionally,within the VC group,patients whose colposcopic biopsy showed HSIL while whose pathology upgraded to invasive cancer after stump colpotomy were classified as the high-grade pathologic invasive cancer group(HC group).We then compared the HSIL group and the HC group to assess the predictive value of each index for pathological escalation.Results Significant differences were observed between the HSIL and VC groups in terms of age,etiology of previous hysterectomy,proportion of clinical symptoms,proportion of abnormal physical examination findings,proportion of abnormal imaging findings,proportion of papillary lesions,proportion of vaginal roof lesions,and squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SCCA)(P<0.05).However,there were no significant differences in fertility,previous hysterectomy,or HPV infection rate.Abnormal physical examination and imaging findings demonstrated better diagnostic performance(AUC>0.7).The proportion of vaginal apex lesions was significantly higher in the HC group compared with the HSIL group(P<0.05).Conclusion Previous hysterectomy for cervical cancer,presence of clinical symptoms,abnormal physical findings,abnormal imaging manifestations,and lesions at the vaginal apex are significant influencing factors in the diagnosis of vaginal stump carcinoma.Although colposcopy remains the primary diagnostic method,vaginal resection should be considered to rule out invasive carcinoma when high-risk factors exist,even if colposcopic biopsy pathology suggests HSIL.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the association between metabolic factors and high-risk colorectal adenoma(CRA).Methods The medical records of patients aged 18-75 years who underwent their initial colonoscopy at Karamay Central Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from Jul 2000 to Mar 2017 were collected.The comparison between normal colonoscopy(NC)and high-risk CRA patients was conducted using an unpaired t-test,while chi-square test was used for categorical variables.Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression and Logistic regression were utilized to analyze the association between metabolic factors and high-risk CRA.Results A total of 1 798 patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled and divided into normal colonoscopy(NC)findings group(n=972)and high-risk CRA group(n=826).The high-risk CRA group exhibited significantly lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)in comparison to the NC group,while uric acid and fibrosis 4(FIB-4)index levels were significantly higher than those observed in the NC group(all P<0.05).Based on LASSO regression analysis,we identified 12 variables that potentially influence the occurrence of high-risk CRA,including age,gender,smoking history,alcohol consumption history,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),hypertension,coronary artery disease,hyperglycemia,hypercholesterolemia,low levels of HDL-C,elevated alanine aminotransferase,and elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase.Multivariate analysis revealed that individuals aged over 50 years,male gender,cigarette and alcohol consumption,low HDL-C levels,history of NAFLD and hypertension were identified as independent risk factors associated with high-risk CRA(P<0.05).In addition,without or with adjusting for age,sex,smoking,and drinking history,patients with a high TG/HDL-C ratio(the ratio≥2.68)had a significantly higher risk of high-risk CRA than those with a low TG/HDL-C ratio(the ratio<2.68)[odds ratios(ORs)were1.430 and 1.235 respectively,all P<0.05)].Without or with adjusting variables,the ORs for NAFLD patients with FIB-4 index>2.67 were 1.849(P=0.466)and 1.435(P=0.707),respectively.Conclusion A significant association exists between metabolic factors and high-risk CRA.Independent risk factors for high-risk CRA include older age(≥50 years),male,smoking history,alcohol consumption history,low levels of HDL-C,and a history of NAFLD and hypertension.Individuals exhibiting a TG/HDL-C ratio exceeding 2.68 manifest a significantly heightened susceptibility to the development of high-risk CRA.Therefore,elderly males with one or more aforementioned metabolic abnormalities should be considered a priority population for colorectal screening.
