Diabetic gastroenteropathy is a serious chronic complication that accompanies the progression of diabetes mellitus, severely impacting patients' quality of life and overall health. Nearly half of diabetic patients experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, early satiety, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain, which increases their anxiety and depression, prompting frequent medical visits and further burdening the healthcare system. In-depth research into the pathogenesis of diabetic gastroenteropathy has identified several core mechanisms, including hyperglycemia, autonomic and enteric nervous system dysfunction, abnormal secretion of gastrointestinal hormones, macrophage polarization, brain-gut axis dysregulation, microRNA deficiency, and oxidative stress-induced damage and apoptosis of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). Current clinical treatments mainly rely on prokinetic and antiemetic drugs. However, their notable adverse effects and diminishing efficacy with long-term use remain pressing issues. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), with its unique theoretical framework and extensive practical experience, potent in prescription formulation and acupoint selection guided by holistic concepts and syndrome differentiation, has gradually become an important option for treating diabetic gastroenteropathy. Numerous studies have confirmed that mechanisms include improving gastrointestinal hormone secretion, repairing ICC damage, regulating the nervous system, reducing oxidative stress, and modulating the brain-gut axis. These findings provide new insights into the treatment of diabetic gastroenteropathy. This article summarized the pathogenesis of diabetic gastroenteropathy and reviewed recent research on Chinese medicine and acupuncture-moxibustion therapy in improving gastrointestinal motility for diabetic gastroenteropathy treatment, aiming to offer clinical treatment insights and highlight the need for further research to explore comprehensive and individualized treatment approaches, providing better strategies for managing diabetic gastroenteropathy.

Objective:To analyze the detection of colorectal advanced neoplasms in the population who underwent colonoscopy screening in Henan Province as part of the Urban China Cancer Screening Program and its influencing factors.Methods:A cross-sectional study design was employed. Based on the Cancer Screening Program conducted in Henan Province, the study enrolled 7 454 urban residents who manifested no symptoms and were recruited from eight cities in the province, including Zhengzhou, Zhumadian, Anyang, Luoyang, Nanyang, Jiaozuo, Xinxiang, and Puyang from October 2013 to October 2019, and participated in colonoscopy screening. The χ 2 test was used to compare the detection rates of colorectal advanced neoplasms among participants with different characteristics, and a multivariate logistic stepwise regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the detection rates. Results:A total of 7 454 subjects underwent colonoscopy screening, and 112 cases of colorectal advanced neoplasms were detected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that older age, smoking, higher meat intake, history of diabetes, and family history of colorectal cancer in a first-degree relative were risk factors for colorectal advanced neoplasms. The detection rate was significantly higher in people aged 60-74 years compared with those aged 40-49 years, with an odds ratio ( OR) of 2.04 (95% CI: 1.23-3.38).The rates were higher in people who smoked than those who did not smoke, with an OR of 2.21 (95% CI: 1.48-3.31), and in people who consumed more meat than those who consumed less, with an OR of 1.53 (95% CI: 1.04-2.26). Those with diabetes had a higher detection rate compared with those without, with an OR of 1.69 (95% CI: 1.07-2.69), and those with a first-degree family history of colorectal cancer had a higher detection rate than those without, with an OR of 1.64 (95% CI: 1.09-2.46). Conclusion:The detection rate of colorectal advanced neoplasms through colonoscopy screening in Henan Province covered by the Urban China Cancer Screening Program is 1.50%. Older age, smoking, higher meat intake, history of diabetes, and family history of colorectal cancer in a first-degree relative are identified as risk factors for colorectal advanced neoplasms.

Objective:To analyze the 5-year relative survival rate of cancer in Henan province based on cancer registration data.Methods:Cancer survival data were extracted from the cancer registration database of Henan province with the diagnosis date between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2019 were included. The closing date of follow-up was set as December 31, 2019. The 5-year relative survival rate of cancer was calculated using the period survival analysis method and the Ederer II method in the R package "periodR", and the interest period was between 2015 and 2019.Results:During the period of 2015-2019, the overall 5-year relative survival rate of cancer patients in Henan province was 43.6%, and after age-standardization, it was 40.2%. The overall 5-year relative survival rate showed the characteristics of higher survival rate in females than males (45.9% vs 34.7%, Z=39.60, P<0.001) and higher survival rate in urban areas than rural areas (44.9% vs 39.1%, Z=12.97, P<0.001). The 5-year relative survival rate for cancer patients among children aged 0-14 was 60.2%, and for adults aged 15 and above, it was 43.5%, which was standardized to 40.2% after age adjustment. There are two types of cancers with a standardized 5-year relative survival rate exceeding 70% (thyroid cancer at 82.2% and breast cancer at 71.6%), and four cancers with a rate below 30% (pancreatic cancer at 18.2%, liver cancer at 19.6%, lung cancer at 24.0%, and gallbladder cancer at 26.6%). Conclusion:The cancer 5-year survival rate in Henan Province is lower than that of the national average, indicating the need for continued enhancement of cancer prevention and control measures.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy on the perioperative renal function in patients undergoing radical resection for esophageal cancer.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Clinical data from patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for esophageal cancer in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital and Tianjin University Chest Hospital from January 2020 to April 2022 were retrospectively collected. According to the preoperative treatment regimen, the patients were divided into neoadjuvant chemotherapy group (group nCT) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy group (group nCT+ IT). nCT group underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which included a platinum-based regimen combined with fluorouracil or taxanes. In nCIT+ IT group, programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitors were used for immunotherapy based on neoadjuvant chemotherapy. All the patients underwent 2-3 cycles of therapy, with each cycle lasting 21 days. Surgery was performed 4-6 weeks after the completion of the last therapy. The concentrations of serum creatinine, uric acid and blood urea nitrogen were detected before therapy, at 72 h before surgery and at 72 h after surgery. The acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosed by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria at 72 h before surgery and 72 h after surgery were recorded. The pathological complete response rates, recurrence rate and disease-free survival time after surgery were collected.Results:Compared with group nCT, the serum urea concentration was significantly increased after treatment, the serum uric acid concentrations were increased at 72 h before surgery and 72 h after surgery, the pathological complete response rate was increased, the recurrence rate was decreased, the disease-free survival time was prolonged ( P<0.05), and no statistically significant changes were found in the incidence of AKI at 72 h before surgery and 72 h after surgery in group nCT+ IT ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Although neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy can raise the pathological complete response rate and disease-free survival rate, it has a certain effect on renal function. Perioperative renal function testing should be strengthened to prevent the occurrence of AKI in the patients undergoing radical resection for esophageal cancer.

Objective:To explore the application effect of self-made pillow for infants with prone position ventilation after open heart surgery.Methods:This study was a case-control study. A total of 50 infants with congenital heart disease admitted to Cardiovascular Surgery ICU, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, Chinese PLA from July to December 2020 were selected as the control group, and 50 infants with congenital heart disease admitted from January to June 2021 were selected as the experimental group. The control group used the traditional tool for prone position ventilation, and the experimental group used the self-designed pillow for infant in prone position ventilation. The incidence of adverse events (pressure ulcer, unplanned extubation, tube discount), operation and duration, and blood gas analysis (PaO 2, PaCO 2) indexes were compared between the two groups. Results:The incidence of pressure ulcer in the experimental group was 2%(1/50), which was lower than 14%(7/50) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=2.78, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of unplanned extubation and the incidence of tube discount between the two groups (both P>0.05). The operation time was (4.25 ± 2.46) min in the experimental group and (6.73 ± 3.25) min in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=-2.24, P<0.05). The duration of the experimental group was (62.67 ± 18.45) min, and that of the control group was (38.53 ± 20.74) min, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=6.98, P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of self-made pillow and traditional tools in pediatric prone position ventilation can effectively increase PaO 2, reduce PaCO 2 and improve lung oxygenation. However, the application of self-made prone position ventilation pillow can greatly reduce the operation time of nurses, increase the duration of prone position ventilation, and reduce the occurrence of adverse events.

Objective:To explore the effect of a health management model constructed based on reflexive reconstruction strategy in patients with acute pancreatitis.Methods:Totally 150 patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to Jincheng No.2 People's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected by convenience sampling. They were divided into observation and control groups, each containing 75 individuals, using a random number table. Patients in the observation group were managed using a health management model under the reflexive reconstruction strategy, while patients in the control group followed a conventional health management model.Results:Six months post-intervention, the total score of health behavior capacity and the scores of its four dimensions, as well as the score indicating the level of health knowledge mastery in the observation group, were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). Furthermore, the recurrence rate of acute pancreatitis in the observation group was 5.3% (4/75), which was lower than 16.0% (12/75) observed in the control group, demonstrating a statistically significant difference (χ 2=4.478, P=0.034) . Conclusions:The health management model developed based on the reflexive reconstruction strategy can enhance the health behavior capacity and the level of health knowledge mastery in patients with acute pancreatitis and reduce the recurrence rate of acute pancreatitis. It can serve as a reference for the continuous improvement of clinical health care management programs.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients with gross hematuria.Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 490 primary IgAN patients admitted in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2010 to June 2019 were analyzed. Patients were divided into gross hematuria group and non-gross hematuria group. The clinical and pathological features and prognosis were compared between the two groups. All patients were diagnosed by kidney biopsy, and followed up until June 30, 2020. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to examine the renal survival,and Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factors affecting renal survival in two groups.Results:Among 490 patients there were 111 patients (22.7%) in the gross hematuria group and 379 patients (77.3%) in the non-gross hematuria group. Age, hypertension, 24-h urine protein, serum creatinine, blood uric acid, blood triglycerides, total blood cholesterol level, mesangial cell hyperplasia (M1), the proportion of renal tubular atrophy or renal interstitial fibrosis (T1/2) in gross hematuria group were lower than those in non-gross hematuria group ( P<0.05), while the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in gross hematuria group was higher than those in non-gross hematuria group ( P<0.05). Four hundred and twenty six patients (86.9%) were followed up for at least 6 months, including 93 patients in gross hematuria group and 333 patients in non-gross hematuria group. There was no statistically significant difference in treatment method between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of end-point events in non-gross hematuria group was higher than that in gross hematuria group [18.6%(62/333) vs. 6.5%(6/93), χ2=8.023, P<0.05]. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the cumulative renal survival rate of the gross hematuria group was higher than that of the non gross hematuria group (χ2=11.44, P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that urine protein>1 g/24 h, eGFR<60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1, hypertension, hyperuricemia and the elevated serum IgA/C3 were risk factors for renal survival [ HR(95% CI)=3.457(1.137-10.514),2.736(1.073-6.977),2.720(1.144-6.465),2.789(1.102-7.060),1.070(1.009-1.135), all P<0.05]. Conclusions:IgAN patients with gross hematuria has less severe kidney damage and higher cumulative renal survival rate than non-gross hematuria patients. Urinary protein>1.0 g/d, hypertension, hyperuricemia and the elevated serum IgA/C3 are risk factors for adverse end-point events, to which timely attention and corresponding treatment should be given.
