ObjectiveTo compare colonoscopy compliance rates under different screening strategies, to explore ways to enhance colonoscopy compliance among residents with colorectal carcinoma. MethodsResidents aged between 50‒80 years were recruited through extensive community outreach and voluntary participation. A total of 210 630 residents who participated in the colorectal carcinoma screening program in Jiading District, Shanghai, between 2013 and 2019 were selected as the research subjects. All subjects underwent a colorectal carcinoma risk assessment questionnaire survey and two fecal occult blood tests (FOBT). Positive results in the initial screening were defined as a positive questionnaire survey or a positive result in at least one FOBT. Participants with positive initial screening results were advised to undergo colonoscopy screening in a hospital. Colonoscopy results were collected from hospital reports and physician follow-ups. Compliance with colonoscopy was analyzed under different screening strategies to identify possible factors influencing residents’ willingness to undergo the procedure. ResultsA total of 21 403 individuals (10.16%) were identified as positive with the questionnaire survey, 31 595 individuals (15.00%) tested positive with at least one FOBT. Combined questionnaire and FOBT positivity was observed in 3 501 individuals (1.66%). Among the 48 453 individuals with positive initial screening results, 17 230 (35.56%) underwent colonoscopy, and a total of 315 cases of colorectal cancer were detected. The sensitivity, specificity value of FOBT initial screening were 83.81% and 84.66%, respectively. According to the combined risk assessment and FOBT initial screening preliminary screening, the lowest colonoscopy compliance rate (25.63%) was observed among individuals with only a positive questionnaire, and the highest compliance rate (52.55%) was among those with both positive questionnaire survey and two positive FOBT results. Multivariate analysis revealed that FOBT positivity had the greatest impact on colonoscopy compliance. Those with one positive FOBT test result were 2.64 times more likely to undergo colonoscopy screening than those with negative FOBT results, while individuals with two positive FOBT results were 3.18 times more likely to do so. After adjusting for FOBT results, individuals with positive questionnaire survey results were 1.43 times more likely to undergo colonoscopy screening than those with negative results (95%CI: 1.34‒1.52). Compared to questionnaire-based risk assessment, FOBT results were more influential in determining compliance with colonoscopy. ConclusionThe choice of initial screening method significantly impacts residents’ compliance with colonoscopy. While implementing colorectal carcinoma screening programs, it is necessary to strictly adhere to screening protocols, including risk assessment and FOBT. Additionally, efforts should be made to raise public awareness, encouraging residents to actively participate in risk assessments and FOBT, thereby improving their compliance with colonoscopy.

Objective To observe the effect of emodin on lung injury in rats with stroke associated pneumonia(SAP)through regulating Janus kinase 2(JAK2)/signal transducer and activators of transcription 3(STAT3)signaling pathway.Methods The SAP rat model was established by modified thread embolization method combined with intratracheal injection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa method.The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group,emodin low-and high-dose groups and emodin high-dose+coumermycin(JAK2 activator)group,with 12 rats in each group,and another 12 SD rats were selected as the sham-operated group.After the intervention,the partial pressure of arterial blood gas indexes such as carbon dioxide(PaCO2)and partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)were measured,the ratio of lung wet/dry mass(W/D)was determined,the inflammatory cell count in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)was detected,the histopathological feature in the lung tissues was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and the pathological injury was scored,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect myeloperoxidase(MPO)activity in the lung tissues and interleukin 6(IL-6)and cyclooxygenase 2(COX-2)levels in BALF and serum,and Western Blot was used to detect the expression of JAK2/STAT3 pathway key proteins in lung tissues.Results Compared with the sham-operated group,the model group rats showed that more obvious pathological injury in lung tissues was seen,and PaCO2 value,ratio of lung W/D,white blood cell count and eosinophils count in BALF,pathological injury score,MPO activity in lung tissues,IL-6 and COX-2 levels in BALF and serum,and ratios of p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 in lung tissues were significantly increased,and PaO2 value was significantly decreased,the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05);compared with the model group,the emodin low-and high-dose groups rats showed that the pathological injury in lung tissues was reduced,PaCO2 value,ratio of lung W/D,white blood cell count and eosinophils count in BALF,pathological injury score,MPO activity in lung tissues,IL-6 and COX-2 levels in BALF and serum,and ratios of p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 in lung tissues were all decreased,and PaO2 value was increased,the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05),and the improvement effect was more stronger in high-dose emodin group;coumermycin attenuated the improvement effect of emodin on the above various indexes in the model rats.Conclusion Emodin can reduce the inflammation levels in SAP rats through inhibiting the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway,thus reducing the lung tissue damage and improving the lung function of rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of common carotid artery sympathectomy on clinical efficacy and serum inflammatory factors in children with mixed cerebral palsy.Methods Common carotid artery sympathectomy was performed in 50 children with mixed cerebral palsy.The levels of IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α,modified Ashworth spasm score,teacher drooling scale(TDS)grade and gross motor function classification system(GMFCS)were compared before and after operation.Results The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in 50 children with mixed cerebral palsy after operation were significantly lower than those before operation,and the difference was statistical-ly significant(P＜0.05);but there was no significant difference in the level of IL-10 after operation.The modified Ashworth spasm score and TDS grade after operation were significantly better than those before operation,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05);but there was no significant difference in GMFCS after operation(P＞0.05).The level of TNF-α before and after opera-tion was positively correlated with modified Ashworth spasm score and TDS grade,but there was no correlation between TNF-α level and GMFCS before and after operation,and there was no correlation between IL-6,IL-10 level and modified Ashworth spasm score,TDS salivation grade and GMFCS before and after operation.Conclusion IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-α are involved in the pathogenesis of mixed cerebral palsy,and common carotid artery adventitia sympathectomy can improve clinical symptoms by reducing the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α,which is worth of popularization and application.

Objective To explore the differences in scapular motion and shoulder function between patients suffering from rotator cuff tears(RCT)with and without type Ⅲ scapular dyskinesis(SD).Meth-ods Between September 2021 and March 2023,sixteen patients suffering from rotator cuff tears with SD(SD group)and 17 counterparts without SD(non-SD group)were recruited from the Sports Hospital of the General Administration of Sport of China.Their scapular motion was assessed by measuring three parameters in the X-rays,including scapular spine line(LSS),scapular upward rotation angle(SU-RA),and coracoid upward shift distance(CUSD).Moreover,their shoulder range of motion in flexion,abduction and external rotation were recorded,and further evaluated using the Pain Visual Analog Scale(VAS)and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score(ASES).Results No significant differenc-es were found between the two groups in the average score of SURA,CUSD and LSS at 0°～30° shoul-der abduction,or in that of CUSD and LSS at 60°～90°shoulder abduction.However,the average SU-RA score of the SD group at 60°～90°shoulder abduction was significantly greater than the other group(P<0.05).The shoulder ranges of motion during active flexion,abduction and external rotation were significantly smaller in the SD group than in the non-SD group(P<0.05).Moreover,the average VAS score in the SD group was significantly higher than the non-SD group(P<0.05),while the average ASES score was significantly lower than the latter group(P<0.05).Conclusions RCT patients type III SD exhibits greater scapular upward rotation during shoulder abduction compared to those without SD.Moreover,the former patients suffer from more severe pain and have worse shoulder range of motion and functional performance than the latter.

Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant tissue-type fibrinolytic plasminogen activator(rt-PA)intravenous thrombolysis followed by the addition of tirofiban at different times on neurovascular function in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods A total of 120 patients with AIS admitted to the Neurology Department of Beijing Geriatric Hospital from March 2020 to March 2023 were selected as the research subjects,and all patients received intravenous throm-bolysis with rt-PA.According to the different times of adding tirofiban after intravenous thrombolysis treatment,the patients were divided into the early group(within 6 hours after thrombolysis,n=52),intermediate group(6-12 hours after thrombolysis,n=38)and late group(12-24 hours after thrombolysis,n=30).The neurological function[National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score,modified Rankin scale(mRS)score],vascular function[von Willebrand factor(vWF),vascular endothelial cell-calcineurin(VE-cadherin),thrombomodulin(TM)],inflammatory factors[high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),homocysteine(Hey),interleukin-1 β(IL-1 β)]levels were compared among the three groups before and after treatment.The incidence of adverse events during treatment was recorded.Results Before treatment,there was no significant difference in NIHSS and mRS scores of patients among the three groups(P＞0.05);NIHSS and mRS scores of patients in the three groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05);after treatment,NIHSS and mRS scores of patients in the early group were significantly lower than those in the intermediate and late groups,and those in the intermediate group were significantly lower than those in the late group(P＜0.05).Before treatment,there was no statistically significant difference in vWF,VE-cadherin,and TM levels of patients among the three groups(P＞0.05);the levels of vWF,VE-cadherin and TM of patients in the three groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05);after treatment,the levels of vWF,VE-cadherin,and TM of patients in the early group were significantly lower than those in the intermediate and late groups(P＜0.05);after treatment,the levels of vWF of patients in the late group was significantly higher than that in the intermediate group(P＜0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in the levels of VE-cadherin and TM of patients between the intermediate group and late group(P＞0.05).Before treatment,there was no significant difference in the levels of hs-CRP,Hcy,and IL-1 β of patients among the three groups(P＞0.05);the levels of hs-CRP,Hcy,and IL-1 β of patients in the three groups after treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment(P＜0.05);after treatment,the levels of hs-CRP,Hcy,and IL-1 β of patients in the early group were significantly lower than those in the intermediate and late groups,and the levels of hs-CRP,Hcy,and IL-1 β of patients in the intermediate group were significantly lower than those in the late group(P＜0.05).During the treatment period,there was no significant difference in the incidences of symptomatic cerebral hemorrhage of patients among the three groups(P＞0.05);the incidences of reocclusion and cardiopulmonary complications in the early group were significantly lower than those in the intermediate group and late group(P＜0.05);there was no significant difference in the incidence of reocclusion and cardiopulmonary complications of patients between the intermediate group and late group(P＞0.05).Conclusion The addition of tirofiban at different times after rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis can promote the recovery of neurological function and vascular function in AIS patients,and also can inhibit the inflammatory mediator response,of which the best effect is achieved by the addition of tirofiban at an early stage after rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis.

Objective:To investigate the preventive efficacy of pirfenidone in esophageal stent-related restenosis and the related underlying mechanisms.Methods:Twenty-four rats underwent esophageal stent placement were included in this study. The rats were randomly assigned to three groups, with 8 rats in each group. The three groups were set to receive placebo, 150 mg/kg pirfenidone and 300 mg/kg pirfenidone daily by oral administration for 28 days, respectively. Twenty-eight days after stent placement, the stented esophagi were harvested for histological examinations. The number of epithelial layers, the thickness of submucosal fibrosis, the percentage of granulation tissue area, the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration, the degree of collagen deposition, and the α-SMA staining scores were evaluated. One-way ANOVA was performed for the statistical comparison of the number of epithelial layers, the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration, the degree of collagen deposition and the α-SMA staining scores among these three groups. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of the thickness of submucosal fibrosis and the percentage of granulation tissue area among the three groups. Results:Gross pathological findings showed that both pirfenidone groups had significantly less luminal fibrotic tissue formation and restenosis than placebo group. The percentage of granulation tissue areas in placebo group, 150 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg pirfenidone groups were 57.23%±25.68%, 21.80%±6.65% and 12.18%±6.37%, respectively. Both pirfenidone groups showed significantly less granulation tissue areas than placebo group ( P<0.01). The degree of inflammatory cell infiltration, the degree of collagen deposition and the α-SMA staining scores were 3.28±0.55, 3.38±0.63 and 2.75±0.38 in placebo group, 2.30±0.46, 2.36±0.58 and 2.00±0.42 in 150 mg/kg pirfenidone group, and 1.86±0.38, 1.91±0.41 and 1.57±0.28 in 300 mg/kg pirfenidone group, respectively. Both pirfenidone groups showed significantly less inflammatory cell infiltration, collagen deposition and α-SMA staining scores than placebo group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Pirfenidone can suppress esophageal stent-related restenosis in rats by significantly inhibiting inflammation, myofibroblast activation and proliferation, and fibrotic tissue formation.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of ATAD2 in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) Methods The qRT-PCR,Western blottig and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of ATAD2 in HC and normal bile duct tissues,and the relationship between ATAD2 and the clinicopathological factors,prognosis was analyzed.Results The positive expression rate of ATAD2 in HC tissues was 70％ (57/81),significantly higher than that of normal bile duct tissues 7％ (2/30) (x2 =35.678,P ＜0.01),and ATAD2 expression was associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM staging (respectively x2 =28.619,31.612,all P ＜ 0.01).The 1'-,3'-,and 5-year survival rates of ATAD2 negative HC patients were 87.5％,54.1％,and 33.3％,respectively.The 1'-,3'-,and 5-year survival rates of ATAD2 positive HC patients were 40.3％,14.0％ and 1.7％,respectively (x2 =14.162,P ＜ 0.01).Univariate analysis and multivariate COX regression model analysis showed that microvascular invasion,lymph node metastasis and ATAD2 expression were independent factors influencing the prognosis of patients with HC (respectively F =4.703,4.961,5.013,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The expression of ATAD2 in HC increased,and the overexpression of ATAD2 was closely related to the occurrence,development,invasion,metastasis and poor prognosis of HC.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a domestic human plasma derived coagulation Factor Ⅸ concentrate (pd-FⅨ) in patients with hemophilia B. Methods: The study was a multicenter, open-label and single-arm study. The efficacy of pd-F Ⅸ was evaluated by objective performance criteria. The doses of pd-FⅨ were calculated according to the bleeding symptom and disease severity. The infusion efficiency of pd-FⅨ and improvement of bleeding symptoms were measured at 30 minutes and (24±4) h after the first infusion, respectively. Adverse events were recorded. Viral infection and FⅨ inhibitor were detected 90 d after the first infusion. Results: All 36 subjects with hemophilia B were enrolled in the study. The median age of these patients was 31 years old and the median injection doses were 4 (1-17) times. The hemostatic effect of 27/36 (75.00%) and 9/36 (25.00%) acute bleeding events were rated as "excellent" and "better" , respectively. The recovery rate was 111.92% (65.55%-194.28%) at 30 minutes after infusion of FⅨ. There was no adverse event related to FⅨ. No reactivation of HBV, HCV or HIV and FⅨ inhibitor was detected at 90-104 d after the first FⅨ infusion. Conclusion: This domestically made human plasma derived FⅨ concentrate is safe and effective in the treatment of acute bleeding in patients with hemophilia B.
