This article summarizes the latest research results on the classification, surgical methods, and adjuvant therapy of colorectal cancer surgery; analyzes and explores standardized surgical treatment strategies; and aims to provide reference and guidance for the clinical management of colorectal cancer.

The tetraspanins are closely associated with the development and therapeutic prognosis of colorectal tumors. These proteins play a role in cell proliferation, metastasis, and invasion, regulate apoptosis and autophagy of colorectal tumor cells. affect immune escape by releasing exosomes, intervening the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process, and altering the tumor microenvironment, and enhance tumor stemness through specific pathways. This paper reviews the mechanisms and current research regarding the status of tetraspanins in colorectal cancer, aiming to improve early diagnosis and providing valuable insights for treatment strategies.

Objective To explore the MRI findings and clinical features of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma(OEC).Methods The preoperative data from 23 patients with surgical pathologic evidence of OEC were collected.The MRI signs[including shape,size,signal,enhancement mode,height of mural nodule,width,height-to-width ratio(HWR)],and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)value,as well as clinical features(including age,clinical manifestations,serological markers,pelvic effusion,lymph node metastasis,endometrial cancer,and endometriosis)were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among the 23 cases of OEC,21 exhibited cystic-solid masses with single cyst,and 20 cases displayed well-defined boundaries.The tumor sizes ranged from 4.3 to 17.5 cm.Lymph node metastasis was observed in 4 cases.Thirteen cases were accompanied by pelvic effusion.Additionally,6 cases(26%)with endometrial cancer,and 10 cases(43%)with endometriosis.Elevated CA125 levels were detected in 21 cases(91%),and elevated HE4 levels were found in 18 cases(78%).Regarding the cystic components of the tumors,both T2WI and fat suppression(FS)T2WI showed high signal intensity.In 9 cases,slightly high T1WI signal was detected with no enhancement,and mild enhancement was detected of the cyst wall.The mural nodule of the tumor were predominantly multifocal and wide-based,appearing isointense on T1WI and isoin-tense to slightly hyperintense on T2WI.They was measured with height of 1.8-10.3 cm,widths ranged from 2.7 to 10.6 cm,HWR of 0.68±0.15,high signal on diffusion weighted imaging(DWI),ADC values of(0.937±0.14)×10-3 mm2/s,and mainly showed progressive moderate to significant enhancement.Conclusion OEC typically exhibit a single cyst with multiple mural nodules.The mural nodules are predominantly multifocal and wide-based,with HWR of less than 0.69,limited diffusion,and moderate to signifi-cant enhancement.The enhancement of the parenchymal components is more pronounced than that of the cyst wall.Furthermore,OEC may be accompanied by pelvic effusion,endometrial cancer,endometriosis,and elevated serological markers.

Objective To explore the MRI and clinical features of squamous carcinoma transformation-mature teratoma(SCT-MT)of the ovary.Methods The pre-operative data from 7 patients with SCT-MT confirmed by surgery and pathology were collected.The MRI features(such as location,morphology,size,signal,boundaries,and the presence of a mural nodule,with or without fat or calcifi-cation,limited diffusion,transmural growth,and angle to the cyst wall)and clinical features(including age,clinical manifestations,serologi-cal markers,pelvic effusion,peripheral tissue infiltration,and lymph node metastasis)were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among the seven SCT-MT,all originated unilaterally,and were cystic-solid masses with a predominantly cystic component of round or round-like appearance.Six cases had well-defined boundaries,and six exhibited fat-fluid levels.The tumor sizes ranged from 9 cm to 17 cm.Seven cases showed mural nodules,without calcification and fat,with limited diffusion,and the mean apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)value was(0.96±0.11)× 10-3 mm2/s.Six cases showed transmural growth,and the angle between the nodule and the cyst wall was obtuse in 5 cases,and the mural nodules were significantly enhanced.The seven SCT-MT patients ranged in age from 53 to 75 years old.Four patients had clinical manifestations of pain related to pelvic distension.Conclusion SCT-MT MRI typically presents as a unilateral large solid mass in the pelvic cavity,with a predominantly cystic component.The mural nodules within it lack calcification or fat,show limited diffusion,and may breech the wall and infiltrate adjacent structures,with significant enhancement.Furthermore,SCT-MT may be associated with older age and elevated serological markers.

Objective:To explore the influence of multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) on clinical staging and diagnosis and treatment strategies for rectal cancer.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. The clinical data of 142 rectal cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital from March 2021 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether to implement MDT or not, all patients were divided into MDT group (68 cases) and non-MDT group (74 cases). Relevant clinical data including patients' basic information (gender, age, etc.), TNM staging, whether to receive neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy or not, surgical methods, R0 resection rate of both groups were compared. The implementation methods and the effects of MDT for patients were summarized.Results:There were statistically significant differences in the proportion of clinical N staging at initial diagnosis, whether to receive neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy or not of both groups (all P < 0.05). The overall agreement rate of clinical T staging at initial diagnosis and pathological T staging was 67.6% (46/68), 50.0% (37/74), respectively in the MDT group and the non-MDT group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.54, P = 0.033). The overall agreement rate of N staging at initial diagnosis and pathological N staging was 50.0% (34/68), 54.1% (40/74), respectively in the MDT group and the non-MDT group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 0.23, P = 0.629). The treatment rate of neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy was 57.4% (39/68) and 4.1% (3/74), respectively in the MDT group and the non-MDT group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 48.33, P < 0.001). The R0 resection rate in both the MDT group and non-MDT group was 100.0%, and no tumor tissue was found at the upper, lower, and circumferential margins. Conclusions:MDT could provide more accurate clinical staging and more effective diagnosis and treatment opinions for patients, and provide reliable guidance for the treatment selections.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Gualou Xiebai Baijiu Decoction(GXB)in improving atherosclerosis(AS)in mice by regulating the gut microbiota(GM)and its metabolites.Methods Thirty-two male ApoE-/-mice were divided randomly into a Blank group,Model group,atorvastatin(Ato)group,and GXB group(n=8 mice per group).AS was established in all mice,except the Blank group,and the respective treatments were administered by gavage.Aortic plaques were detected by Oil red O staining and pathological changes in aortic tissue were detected by hematoxylin and eosin staining.The GM was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology,and mouse GM metabolites,including trimethylamine oxide(TMAO),short-chain fatty acids(SCFA),and serum levels of triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),and nitric oxide(NO)were determined.Results Compared with the Blank group,mice in the Model and Ato groups showed an increase in AS plaque area(P＜0.05).Serum levels of TG,TC,and LDL-C were increased(P＜0.001)while levels of HDL-C and NO were decreased(P＜0.01,P＜0.001)in the Model group compared with the Blank group.The plaque area was decreased(P＜0.05),serum levels of TG,TC,and LDL-C were decreased(P＜0.001),and NO levels were increased(P＜0.01)in the Ato and GXB groups,while HDL-C levels were increased in the GXB group(P＜0.05)compared with the Model group.Plaque area was decreased(P＜0.05)and the NO level was increased(P＜0.01)in the GXB group compared with the Ato group.A total of 6345 characteristic sequences were obtained from 16S rRNA analysis.α-Diversity analysis indicated that GXB reduced the richness of the GM in AS mice(P＜0.001)and improved its uniformity(P＜0.05).β-Diversity analysis suggested that the microbial community structure in the GXB group was similar to that in the Blank group.The abundance of microbial communities differed among the groups at the phylum and genus levels.At the phylum level,the abundance of Proteobacteria was increased(P＜0.01)in AS mice,while GXB intervention reduced the abundance of Proteobacteria(P＜0.01)and increased the abundance of Verrucomimicrobiota(P＜0.05).At the genus level,GXB effectively increased the abundance of Akkermansia(P＜0.05).SCFAs were significantly increased(P＜0.01)and TMAO levels were significantly decreased(P＜0.01)in the GXB group compared with the Model group.Conclusions GXB can regulate the intestinal flora and intestinal flora metabolites SCFA and TMAO to improve AS.Akkermansia may be a key bacterial genus of the gut microbiota through which GXB may improve AS.

Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is a flavin-dependent metabolic enzyme that oxidizes dihydroorotate acid to orotic acid in the de novo synthesis pathway of pyrimidine metabolism. DHODH is located in mitochondria, closely related to cellular oxidative phosphorylation, and an important suppressor of the ferroptosis pathway. This study investigates the influence of DHODH on the progression of malignant tumors, including its important role in the de novo synthesis of pyrimidine, oxidative phosphorylation, and ferroptosis. The objective is to present evidence that DHODH is a potential target for the clinical treatment of tumors.

ObjectiveTo analyze the causes of occupational acute 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) poisoning accident during the use of polyurethane grouting materials for waterproof plugging operation in the construction industry. Methods By combining the clinical symptoms of the patient, worksite survey of occupational health and workplace occupational hazards monitoring method, the cause of an occupational acute 1,2-DCE poisoning accident was investigated at a construction site during the use of polyurethane grouting material for waterproofing and plugging operations. Results The patient was engaged in waterproof grouting work using polyurethane grouting material. The main volatile organic components in the raw materials were 1,2-DCE, with traces of dichloromethane, methyl acetate and others. The result of post-incident on-site investigation showed that the short-term exposure concentration of 1,2-DCE in the workplace air was 578.70 mg/m³, which was more than 30 times higher than the national occupational health standard limit. The mass concentration of 1,2-DCE in the patient's blood was 230 μg/L. Combined with the patient's occupational hazard exposure history, clinical manifestations, worksite survey of occupational health, and laboratory test results, according to GBZ 39-2016 Diagnosis of Occupational Acute 1,2-Dichloroethane Poisoning, this incident was diagnosed as a severe occupational acute 1,2-DCE poisoning event caused by the use of inferior polyurethane grouting material. Conclusion The excessive concentration of 1,2-DCE in the workplace air is the main cause of this poisoning accident. Construction sites with confined space operations should improve various occupational health management systems, occupational health engineering protective facilities, and personal protective equipment must be provided for workers.
