Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic Miles surgery through extraperitoneal stoma and intraperitoneal stoma.Methods:The medical records of 140 patients with low rectal cancer after laparoscopic Miles surgery admitted to Gastrointestinal Surgery of Northern Jiangsu People′s Hospital of Jiangsu Province from January 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 80 were males and 60 were females, aged 50 to 75 years old, with an average age of 63.95 years old. They were divided into observation group (extraperitoneal stoma, n=70) and control group (intraperitoneal stoma, n=70) based on the stoma method. Through telephone, WeChat, outpatient follow-up and other contact methods, the intraoperative and postoperative recovery, the incidence of perioperative complications (stoma edema, stoma ischemia, peristoma inflammation, perineal/pelvic infection, lung infection) and the incidence of complications at 6 months and 1 year after surgery (stoma stricture, parastoma hernia/internal hernia, stoma prolapse/retraction), and the difference in the ability of artificial anus to control defecation at 1 year after surgery were compared between the two groups. SPSS27.0 statistical software was used for data analysis and processing. Results:(1) Incidence of individual complications such as lung infection between the two groups of patients during the perioperative period (4.3% vs 4.3%, χ2=0.17, P=0.676), stoma edema (25.7% vs 21.4%, χ2=0.36, P=0.550), stoma ischemia (7.1% vs 7.1%, χ2=0.00, P=1.000), peristomal inflammation (20.0% vs. 18.6%, χ2=0.05, P=0.830), perineal/pelvic infection (15.7% vs 27.1%, χ2=2.72, P=0.099), there was no difference between the two groups. There was still no difference in the overall complication rate between the two groups (72.9% vs 78.6%, χ2=0.62, P=0.430). (2) After follow-up to 6 months after surgery, the overall complication rate was 5.7% in the observation group compared with 22.9% in the control group ( χ2=7.06, P=0.008). In particular, the incidence of post-operative parastomal hernia/internal hernia did not occur in the observation group, while 8.6% of patients in the control group occurred (18.6% vs 42.9%, χ2=4.35, P=0.037). (3) After follow-up to 1 year after surgery, the overall complication rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group ( χ2=8.59, P=0.003). The incidence of parastomal hernia/internal hernia after operation in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (2.9% vs 14.3%, χ2=4.47, P=0.034). (4) At the one-year follow-up, the overall excellent and good rate in the evaluation of bowel function in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (71.4% vs 48.6%, χ2=7.62, P=0.006). Conclusions:In laparoscopic Miles surgery for patients with rectal cancer, choosing extraperitoneal stoma has achieved good results, which can reduce the risk of complications 6 months or even 1 year after surgery, especially in preventing and controlling parastomal hernia/internal hernia. It has significant advantages, and at the same time, it can also promote the recovery of patients′ bowel function and reduce other related complications, thereby ensuring patient safety.

Objective To investigate the regulatory role and mechanism of mitochondrial riboso-mal protein S35(MRPS35)in the proliferation,invasion,and migration of colon cancer cells.Meth-ods A total of 120 colon cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues from patients undergoing radical resection for colon cancer were collected.Human colon cancer cell lines(HCT116,SW480,SW620)and a human normal colon epithelial cell line(NCM460)were cultured.Bioinformatics analysis,real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction,Western blot,immunohistochemical(IHC)analysis,and cellular functional experiments(plate clone formation assay,scratch test,Transwell migration assay,CCK-8 cell viability assay)were conducted to evaluate the expression and regulatory mechanism of MRPS35 in colon cancer.Results Bioinformatics analysis showed that the expression level of the MRPS35 gene was higher in colorectal cancer tissues than in adjacent normal tissues(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of MRPS35 mRNA and MRPS35 protein were higher in human colon cancer cell lines(HCT116,SW480,SW620)than in NCM460 cells(P＜0.05).The relative ex-pression level of MRPS35 protein was higher in colon cancer tissues than that in adjacent normal tis-sues(P＜0.05).The expression level of MRPS35 was significantly correlated with tumor diameter,tumor differentiation,and T stage(P=0.002,0.021,0.036).Patients with high MRPS35 expres-sion had a higher overall survival rate than those with low MRPS35 expression(Log-rank P=0.015).After knockdown of MRPS35,the abilities of colon cancer cell cloning,proliferation,invasion,and migration were significantly enhanced.Furthermore,the expression of Wnt1,β-Catenin,and their downstream target proteins increased significantly after MRPS35 knockdown.Conclusion MRPS35 is significantly overexpressed in both colon cancer tissues and colon cancer cells,and it may inhibit the occurrence and development of colon cancer by regulating the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway.Therefore,MRPS35 has the potential to become a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for colon cancer.

G-protein signaling modulator 2 is a member of the GPSM family, with emerging significance in various diseases including Chadley-McCullough syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Furthermore, its involvement extends to tumor pathogenesis, encompassing non-small-cell lung cancer, breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, serous ovarian cancer, Ewing's sarcoma, and osteosarcoma, influencing proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. There is no relevant review on the mechanism of GPSM2 in tumor progression. This paper will summarize the research progress on GPSM2 in tumors in recent years, focusing on its role and mechanism, with the aim of providing references and guidance for further research.

Objective To investigate the effects of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) taurine up-regulated gene 1 (TUG1) on the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of gastric cancer cells. Methods The expression levels of LncRNA TUG1 in gastric cancer tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues were analyzed based on public databases. The expression of lncRNA TUG1 in gastric cancer cell lines was detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells were transfected with si-TUG1 and si-NC, and the effects of knocking down lncRNA TUG1 on cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and angiogenesis were analyzed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, Transwell assay, and Matrigel tube formation assay. The correlation between alkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) gene and lncRNA TUG1 was analyzed based on public databases. The regulatory relationship between ALKBH5 and lncRNA TUG1 was verified using Actinomycin D experiments. The effects of knocking down ALKBH5 on the proliferation, colony formation, migration, and angiogenesis of gastric cancer cells were analyzed through cell function experiments. Results LncRNA TUG1 was up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. After knocking down lncRNA TUG1, the proliferation, colony formation, migration, and angiogenesis abilities of SGC-7901 cells were lower than those of control cells(P < 0.05). Database analysis results showed that ALKBH5 was positively correlated with lncRNA TUG1 expression in gastric cancer (r=0.37, P < 0.05). Compared with control cells, the RNA stability of lncRNA TUG1 in SGC-7901 cells with knocked-down ALKBH5 decreased, and the cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and angiogenesis abilities were also reduced (P < 0.05). Conclusion ALKBH5 promotes the proliferation, colony formation, migration, and angiogenesis of gastric cancer cells by inducing the expression of lncRNA TUG1.

Early postoperative inflammatory small bowel obstruction is one of the complications after abdominal surgery. Most obstructions will resolve on their own after nutritional support. However, the recovery of intestinal function takes a long time, which leads to high costs and is prone to occur related complications. Early postoperative inflammatory small bowel obstruction is also one of the risk factors for secondary adhesive intestinal obstruction. A few patients with ineffective conservative treatment have to undergo high-risk surgical treatment. Cases of early postoperative inflammatory small bowel obstruction complicated by superior mesenteric artery syndrome are relatively rare. Comprehensive treatment including acupuncture, hormones, and water-soluble contrast agents as well as early placement of enteral nutrition tubes is the key to the treatment of such patients.

Objective:To evaluate the role of permanent sigmoid colostomy created through the extraperitoneal route combined with pelvic floor peritoneal reconstruction after laparoscopic Miles surgery for lower rectal cancer.Methods:A total of 88 patients undergoing laparoscopic Miles surgery at Gastrointestinal Center of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from Apr 2016 to Apr 2020 were divided into extraperitoneal ostomy group(40 cases) and transperitoneal ostomy group (48 cases).Results:There were no significant differences in operating time, stoma-forming time, intraoperative blood loss, first exhausting time, first defecation time and hospital stay between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were 17 cases of complications in observation group vs. 16 cases in control group ( χ2=0.782， P=0.376). After 12 months, the complications in observation group were significantly less than control group ( χ2=8.601， P=0.003). There was no parastoma hernia in observation group vs.7 in control group ( χ2=4.502， P=0.034). The satisfaction rate of ostomy control defecation in observation group (70%) was significantly higher than that in control group (38%) after 12 months ( P=0.001). Conclusion:A permanent sigmoid colostomy created through the extraperitoneal route combined with pelvic floor peritoneal reconstruction during laparoscopic Miles surgery is safe and feasible, with fewer complications and better defecation function than that of the stoma through transperitoneal approach.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic selective lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) for radical resection of rectal cancer.Methods:From Dec 2018 to Jul 2020, at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer was performed in 32 cases and radical resection plus selective LLND in 26 cases.Results:The operation time in the LLND group was significantly longer than that in the simple radical resection group [247(179-405) min vs. 146(118-258) min, Z=-5.169, P<0.001], but there was no significant difference in intraoperative bleeding [68(45-500) ml vs. 56(25-500) ml, Z=-1.598, P=0.110], postoperative ventilation time [2.5(1-6) d vs. 3.0(1-6) d, Z=-0.120, P=0.905], postoperative hospital stay [9.0(7-17) d vs. 9.5(6-14) d, Z=-1.050, P=0.294] and hospitalization costs [(49 000±3 000) RMB vs. (48 000±3 000) RMB, t=-1.072, P=0.289] between the two groups. The incidence of postoperative complications in the two groups was 19% and 27% respectively (χ 2=0.551, P=0.458). The number of lateral lymph node dissection in LLND group was 8(6-16), 5 of 26 patients had lateral lymph node metastasis, with a metastasis rate of 19%. Conclusion:Laparoscopic radical resectim plus selective LLND for rectal cancer harvests more lateral lymph node metastasis without causing higher complications .

Objective:To compare laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) and laparoscopy-assisted pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (LAPPG) for early gastric cancer (EGC). Methods:Firty-two EGC patients from Sep 2018 to Aug 2020 in Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital were divided into LAPPG group ( n=21) and LADG group ( n=31). Results:The average operation time in the LAPPG and LADG groups was (173±30) min and (144±31)min, respectively ( t=3.34, P=0.002).
