Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of different mucosal incision methods in endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)for the treatment of gastric submucosal tumors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 30 patients with gastric submucosal tumors treated with ESD from July 2022 to March 2024.They were divided into a circular group(n=15)and a longitudinal group(n=15)based on different mucosal incision methods.Then compare the pathological data,clinical efficacy,surgical outcomes,and complications between the two groups.Results There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in length of hospital stay,hospitalization costs,lesion diameter,lesion location and lesion nature(P＞0.05).The surgical time of the longitudinal group was significantly shorter than that of the circular group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);There was no statistical significant in the incidence of intraoperative complications in the longitudinal group and the circular group(P＞0.05);The complete resection rate of the longitudinal group was lower than that of the circular group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion ESD treatment for gastric submucosal tumors is safe and effective,and the longitudinal incision can shorten the surgical time compared to the circular incision.Both methods have the characteristics of low incidence of complications and high complete resection rate,and are worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the feasibility,efficacy and safety of cold snare polypectomy(CSP)and endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR)in treatment of colonic adenoma in proximity to the orifice of appendix.Methods Clinical data of 41 cases of colonic adenoma in the orifice of appendix treated with CSP(CSP group)and 15 cases treated with EMR(EMR group)from January 2018 to January 2023 were collected.The clinicopathological features and outcomes were analyzed.The main outcome was postoperative complications,including bleeding,perforation and postoperative appendicitis,while the secondary outcome was the total resection rate,block resection rate and local recurrence rate.Results The operation time and treatment cost of CSP group were shorter than EMR group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The diameter of applicable lesions in CSP group was smaller than that in EMR group,and the proportion of lesions with tubular adenoma was significantly higher than that in EMR group.There were no significant differences in the time of admission,intestinal preparation score,length of stay,lesion morphology and lesion type between the two groups(P>0.05).Perforation and postoperative appendicitis were not observed in both groups,and delayed postoperative hemorrhage occurred in 1 case in the CSP group,but it could heal itself after surgery without endoscopic intervention.The complete resection rate was 100.0%in both groups.The total removal rate of CSP group was 100.0%,which was significantly higher than that of EMR group(86.7%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The local recurrence rate was 2.4%(1/41)in CSP group,and no local recurrence was observed in EMR group(0/15),with no statistical significance(P>0.05).Conclusion CSP and EMR are safe and effective in the treatment of colonic adenoma in proximity to the orifice of appendix,and they are trustworthy.Compared with EMR,CSP is more applied to small diameter tubular adenomas,which has the characteristics of economy and time saving,but at the same time there is the risk of recurrence.EMR obviously has a wider application range,but there is a disadvantage in price and time,and individual cases need to be segmented resection.

[Purpose]To analyze the trends of cancer incidence and mortality from 1991 to 2020 in Jiashan County of Zhejiang Province,and to predict trends from 2021 to 2035.[Methods]Cancer cases and deaths from 1991 to 2020 in Jiashan County were collected.The crude inci-dence rate and mortality rate,age-standardized rate(ASR)were calculated.The annual percentage change(APC)and average annual percentage change(AAPC)were calculated by Joinpoint model to analyze the trend of cancer incidence and mortality.The age-period-cohort model was used to predict the trends of cancer incidence and mortality from 2021 to 2035 and the estimated annual percentage change(EAPC)was calculated.[Results]The age-standardized incidence rates by Chinese standard population(ASIRC)in Jiashan were 159.06/105,187.25/105,and 254.37/105 during 1991-2000,2001-2010,and 2011-2020,respectively.The trends in young and middle-aged women and people above 65 years old were more predominant.Lung,stomach,colorectal,liver and female breast cancers were major incident cancers for the period from 1991 to 2020.The cancer incidence showed an increasing trend from 1991 to 2020(AAPC=2.17％,P＜0.05)and is expect-ed to continue to increase over 2021 to 2035(EAPC=3.03％,P＜0.05).The age-standardized mor-tality rates by Chinese standard population(ASMRC)in Jiashan were 119.74/105,117.79/105,and 100.11/105 during 1991-2000,2001-2010,and 2011-2020,respectively.Lung,liver,stomach,colorectal,esophageal,and pancreatic cancers were leading causes of cancer deaths from 1991 to 2020.The cancer mortality showed a decreasing trend from 1991 to 2020(AAPC=-1.00％,P＜0.05)and is expected to continue to decline over 2021 to 2035(EAPC=-1.67％,P＜0.05).[Conclusion]The mortality rate from cancers has been gradually declined in Jiashan County,while the incidence rate has increased significantly and will continue to increase in the next 15 years.High incidence of lung cancer,liver cancer,gastric cancer and colorectal cancer makes it crucial to pay close attention to key groups and strengthen the control of risk factors of high inci-dence cancer.

[Purpose]To analyze the diagnostic yield of quantitative fecal immunochemical test(FIT)at different cut-offs in colorectal cancer(CRC)screening.[Methods]The sequential screening method was adapted in Jiashan CRC screening program for local residents aged 40～74 years old,which included a quantitative FIT and high-risk factor questionnaire for primary screening and subsequent colonoscopy for the diagnostic screening.Subjects who participated in quantitative FIT were included in this study between September,2021 and August,2023.The positive predictive values(PPVs)for colorectal neoplasms were calculated at the cut-offs of 100,120,140,160,180 and 200 ng/mL of FIT.The Cochran-Armitage trend test was performed to compare the trend of PPVs at different cut-offs.The effects of different starting age and FIT cut-offs on requirement of colonoscopy and advanced neoplasia detection were assessed.[Results]A total of 58 256 individuals completed the quantitative FIT,and 3 106 had fecal hemoglobin concentrations＞100 ng/mL,among whom 2 186 underwent colonoscopic examination with a compliance rate of 70.38％.The colonoscopy detected 588 cases of non-advanced adenomas and 355 cases of advanced neoplasms(AN),in-cluding 30 cases of CRC and 325 cases of advanced adenomas.Progressively increasing the cut-off showed a decrease in PPVs of non-advanced adenomas and an increase of AN.The ratio of the rate of reduced requirement of colonoscopy to the missed rate of the progressive lesions was the smallest when the screening start age was 45 years old and the positive FIT threshold was set at 100 ng/mL.[Conclusion]There were significant differences in the diagnostic yield at different cut-offs of FIT.Increasing the cut-offs of FIT will elevate PPVs for the advanced neoplasms.

Objective To analyze the factors related to early allograft dysfunction(EAD)after liver transplantation and to construct a predictive model.Methods A total of 375 patients who underwent liver transplantation in our hospital from December 2008 to December 2021 were collected,including 90 patients with EAD and 266 patients without EAD.Thirty items of baseline data for the 2 groups were compared and analyzed.Aftergrouping in a ratio of 7∶3,univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used in the training set to evaluate the factors related to EAD and construct a nomogram.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,decision curve analysis(DCA),sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,Kappa value and other indicators were used to evaluate the model performance.Results The incidence of EAD after liver transplantation was 24%.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative tumor recurrence history(OR=3.15,95%CI:1.28～7.77,P=0.013)and operation time(OR=1.22,95%CI:1.04～1.42,P=0.015)were related to the occurrence of EAD after surgery.After predicting the outcome according to the cut-off point of 0.519 identified by the Youden index,the model performance in the both training set and validation set was acceptable.DCA suggested the model has good clinical applicability.Conclusion The risk factors for EAD after liver transplantation are preoperative tumor recurrence history and operation time,and the established model has predictive effect on prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of abnormal chromosomal karyotype in amniotic fluid cells from penatal fetuses in the Huaibei Region and to analyze the detection rates of abnormal chromosomal karyotype across different populations based on indications for prenatal diagnosis.Methods:This study is a retrospective analysis. A total of 883 pregnant women who visited the Prenatal Diagnosis Center at Huaibei Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital between January 2018 and December 2022 were included in this study. All participants had indications for prenatal diagnosis and underwent sterile amniocentesis under ultrasound guidance. Amniotic fluid was collected for dual culture of amniotic fluid cells and chromosomal karyotype analysis.Results:The success rate of amniotic fluid specimen culture was 99.55% (879/883). The detection rate of abnormal karyotypes was 9.22% (81/879), with numerical abnormalities accounting for 76.54% (62/81), structural abnormalities for 17.28% (14/81), and chimerism for 6.17% (5/81). The detection rates of abnormal karyotypes based on various prenatal diagnostic indications are summarized below: 2.56% (8/313) in the high-risk group for Down syndrome screening, 36.57% (49/134) in the high-risk group for non-invasive prenatal testing, 4.23% (9/213) in the group with abnormal B-ultrasound findings, 6.90% (10/145) in the advanced age group (≥ 35 years), 25.00% (4/16) in the group with chromosomal abnormalities in either the mother or her partner, and 1.72% (1/58) in the group with adverse pregnancy outcomes.Conclusion:Prenatal diagnosis is of great significance for detecting chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses. In the Huaibei Region, numerical abnormalities account for the highest proportion of detected prenatal fetal chromosomal abnormalities. The detection rates vary among different prenatal diagnostic indication groups, with non-invasive prenatal testing demonstrating the highest sensitivity.
