Objective:To investigate the incidence of postoperative complications in Chinese patients with gastric or colorectal cancer, and to evaluate the risk factors for postoperative complications.Methods:This was a national, multicenter, prospective, registry-based, cohort study of data obtained from the database of the Prevalence of Abdominal Complications After Gastro- enterological Surgery (PACAGE) study sponsored by the China Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgical Union. The PACAGE database prospectively collected general demographic characteristics, protocols for perioperative treatment, and variables associated with postoperative complications in patients treated for gastric or colorectal cancer in 20 medical centers from December 2018 to December 2020. The patients were grouped according to the presence or absence of postoperative complications. Postoperative complications were categorized and graded in accordance with the expert consensus on postoperative complications in gastrointestinal oncology surgery and Clavien-Dindo grading criteria. The incidence of postoperative complications of different grades are presented as bar charts. Independent risk factors for occurrence of postoperative complications were identified by multifactorial unconditional logistic regression.Results:The study cohort comprised 3926 patients with gastric or colorectal cancer, 657 (16.7%) of whom had a total of 876 postoperative complications. Serious complications (Grade III and above) occurred in 4.0% of patients (156/3926). The rate of Grade V complications was 0.2% (7/3926). The cohort included 2271 patients with gastric cancer with a postoperative complication rate of 18.1% (412/2271) and serious complication rate of 4.7% (106/2271); and 1655 with colorectal cancer, with a postoperative complication rate of 14.8% (245/1655) and serious complication rate of 3.0% (50/1655). The incidences of anastomotic leakage in patients with gastric and colorectal cancer were 3.3% (74/2271) and 3.4% (56/1655), respectively. Abdominal infection was the most frequently occurring complication, accounting for 28.7% (164/572) and 39.5% (120/304) of postoperative complications in patients with gastric and colorectal cancer, respectively. The most frequently occurring grade of postoperative complication was Grade II, accounting for 65.4% (374/572) and 56.6% (172/304) of complications in patients with gastric and colorectal cancers, respectively. Multifactorial analysis identified (1) the following independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients in the gastric cancer group: preoperative comorbidities (OR=2.54, 95%CI: 1.51-4.28, P<0.001), neoadjuvant therapy (OR=1.42, 95%CI:1.06-1.89, P=0.020), high American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores (ASA score 2 points:OR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.23-2.07, P<0.001, ASA score ≥3 points:OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.25-0.73, P=0.002), operative time >180 minutes (OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.42-2.31, P<0.001), intraoperative bleeding >50 mL (OR=1.29,95%CI: 1.01-1.63, P=0.038), and distal gastrectomy compared with total gastrectomy (OR=0.65,95%CI: 0.51-0.83, P<0.001); and (2) the following independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients in the colorectal cancer group: female (OR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.44-0.80, P<0.001), preoperative comorbidities (OR=2.73, 95%CI: 1.25-5.99, P=0.030), neoadjuvant therapy (OR=1.83, 95%CI:1.23-2.72, P=0.008), laparoscopic surgery (OR=0.47, 95%CI: 0.30-0.72, P=0.022), and abdominoperineal resection compared with low anterior resection (OR=2.74, 95%CI: 1.71-4.41, P<0.001). Conclusion:Postoperative complications associated with various types of infection were the most frequent complications in patients with gastric or colorectal cancer. Although the risk factors for postoperative complications differed between patients with gastric cancer and those with colorectal cancer, the presence of preoperative comorbidities, administration of neoadjuvant therapy, and extent of surgical resection, were the commonest factors associated with postoperative complications in patients of both categories.

Objective:To evaluate the outcome of laser coagulation under fetoscope for placental chorioangioma (CA).Methods:The clinical data of three pregnant women with giant CA treated by laser coagulation under fetoscope in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Relevant articles up to September 2022 were retrieved from Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed, and the clinical data of all patients were retrospectively summarized. Indications and intervention effects of fetoscopic laser therapy were analyzed. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the data.Results:Thirteen patients were involved in this study including 10 cases retrieved from the databases. The average age of the pregnant women was (30.3±6.2) years old. There were 12 cases of single pregnancy and one case of twin pregnancy (monochorionic diamnionic twin pregnancy). Except for cases for which data were not available in the literatures, at the diagnosis of CA, the average gestational age was (19.9±4.5) weeks ( n=7) and the average maximum diameter of the mass was (6.1±4.1) cm ( n=6). The patients underwent fetoscopic laser therapy at an average gestational age of (25.0±2.0) weeks ( n=13) with the average maximum tumor diameter of (7.6±2.8) cm ( n=9). After treatment, the amniotic fluid volume of three cases decreased to normal. In one case, the amniotic fluid volume decreased but was still above the upper limit of the normal range. Moreover, the maximum tumor diameter decreased in four cases; the peak systolic velocity of the fetal middle cerebral artery decreased to normal in one case; fetal heart function became normal in two cases and fetal edema was relieved in one case. Among the three patients treated in our hospital, the blood supply of CA disappeared after treatment. Intrauterine fetal death occurred in two cases. The other 11 patients gave birth to live babies at the gestational age of (36.6±3.8) weeks with five through cesarean section (5/11), five through vaginal delivery (4/11) and two not reported. The birth weight of the neonates was (2 712±1 023) g and all of them survived. The gender of five neonates were reported and all were females, two of them were monochorionic diamnionic twins. No abnormality was found in the three neonates delivered in our hospital during a six-month follow-up. No abnormality was reported in the other neonates during ten days to six months of follow-up. Conclusions:Fetoscopic laser coagulation may help reduce the size of CA, decrease complications and improve pregnancy outcomes.

Objective :
To investigate the expression of N6-methyladenosine modification ( m6 A) and related en- zymes FTO,METTL3 and YTHDF2 in gastric epithelial cells infected with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) ,and to analyze its expression and clinical significance in gastric cancer by using online websites.
Methods :
Gastric epithelial cells GES-1 and AGS were infected with Hp GZ7 strain,and the multiplicity of infection was 30 ∶ 1.Total RNA and total protein were collected after infecting 24 h,and the m6 A modification level of total RNA was detected by RNA dot hybridization.The mRNA and protein expressions of FTO ,METTL3 and YTHDF2 were detected by q-PCR and Western blot.The expression difference of FTO,METTL3 and YTHDF2 in gastric cancer tissues and normal tissues and their expression in Stage classification were analyzed by GEPIA,and the relationship between the expression of FTO,METTL3 and YTHDF2 and prognosis was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier Plotter.
Results :
Compared with the un- infected group,the m6 A modification level of total RNA in both Hp-infected GES-1 and AGS cells significantly de- creased,the mRNA and protein expression levels of FTO increased,and the mRNA and protein levels of METTL3 and YTHDF2 decreased,with statistical significance (P<0. 05) .The expression level of FTO in gastric cancer tis- sues was higher than that in normal tissues,with statistical significance (P<0. 05) ,YTHDF2 was higher than that in normal tissues,with no statistical significance,and the expression level of METTL3 was lower than that in nor- mal tissues,with no statistical significance.Patients with high expression of FTO and METTL3 had a lower survival rate,while patients with high expression of YTHDF2 had a higher survival rate.The expression of FTO was signifi- cantly correlated with Stage classification (P<0. 05) ,while the expression of METTL3 and YTHDF2 was not sig- nificantly correlated with Stage classification.
Conclusion
Hp infection can change the level of m6 A and the ex- pression of related enzymes FTO,YTHDF2 and METTL3,suggesting that m6 A methylation may play a role in the occurrence and development of Hp-induced gastric cancer.

AIM: To study the effect of growth hormone (GH) and vitamin E (Vit.E) combined in the treatment of endometrial thinning. METHODS: Twenty female SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, model group, GH group and treatment group, with 5 rats in each group. Control group was routinely fed; Rats in model group, GH group and treatment group were injected intrauterine with 95%ethanol during estrus stage to construct a thin endometrial model. Six to eight hours after operation, rats in model group were injected intrauterine with 0.2 mL normal saline, rats in GH group and treatment group were injected with the same amount of GH, and the treatment group was given intragastric treatment of 60 mg/kg Vit.E. The rats were sacrificed 3 estrus cycles (about 2 weeks) after the operation. HE staining was performed on the uterine tissue to identify the model, and the levels of Cytokeratin 19 and Vimentin in the endometrium were detected by immunohistochemical color. RESULTS: The endometrial thickness of the model group was significantly thinner than that of the model group, and the endometrial thickness of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group, but the endometrial thickness of the GH group was slightly lower than that of the control group. The expression levels of keratin and vimentin in model group were lower than those in GH group, control group and treatment group, and the differences were statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Endometrial-related proliferation indexes were significantly increased after GH and vitamin E treatment, and GH and vitamin E could effectively promote the proliferation of endometrial cells.

Background Studies have shown that stress during pregnancy can affect the growth and development of fetuses and offspring, and this effect has sex differences, but the results are controversial, and there are few studies on the emotional damage of offspring of different sexes caused by stress during pregnancy. Objective This experiment is designed to observe the effect of chronic stress during pregnancy on emotional damage of offspring of different sexes. Methods Thirty-two SD female rats were randomly divided into a model group and a control group (16 rats in each group), 24 male rats were divided into a model mating group (n=16) and a control mating group (n=8). Each rat of the model group was reared in a single cage and received chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) for 28 d, including hot water swimming for 5 min, cold water swimming for 5 min, tail pinching for 2 min, crowding for 24 h, moist bedding for 24 h, cage shaking for 30 min, and space restriction for 2 h. One stressor was administered daily and the same stressor did not repeat within 7 d. Blood was collected from the endocanthal vein of the two groups of female rats 1 d before and 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 d after stress, the plasma was separated by centrifugation, and 131I radioimmunoassay was used to measure plasma corticosterone concentration. On postnatal day 21 (PND21), 16 offspring rats (half male and half male) were randomly selected from each group, their plasma corticosterone concentration was measured on PND28 and PND42, and their emotional damage was measured on PND42. Results The plasma corticosterone levels of dams in the model group on the 14th, 21th, and 28th days of stress [(394.02±97.40), (444.12±90.43), and (463.71±107.75) μg·L−1] were higher than those in the control group [(285.63±81.64), (341.78±48.39), and (320.42±84.76) μg·L−1] (all P< 0.05). On PND28 and PND42, the plasma corticosterone levels in the female model offspring group [(543.30±90.21) and (530.76±83.10) μg·L−1] were higher than those in the female control offspring group [(397.77±64.27) and (325.78±61.03) μg·L−1] (both P<0.05). In the sugar water preference test, the total fluid consumption [(10.74±1.28) mL], sugar water consumption [(5.50±1.30) mL], and 1% sucrose preference percentage [(20.36±3.41) %] in the female model offspring group were lower than those in the female control offspring group [(13.74±2.06) mL, (8.56±2.04) mL, and (62.11±8.05) %] (all P<0.05). In the open field test, the horizontal score, vertical score, and cleaning times of the male model offspring group were lower than those of the male control offspring group (all P<0.05). In the tail suspension test, the immobility time of the female and male model offspring groups [(126.95±39.88) and (70.24±28.98) s] was longer than the control offspring groups of the same sex [(54.30±24.99) and (38.63±18.91) s] (both P<0.05), and the duration of immobility time in the female model offspring group was longer (t=3.253, P=0.006). In the forced swimming test, the immobility time of the female model offspring group [(7.97±6.66) s] was longer than that of the female control offspring group [(1.85±2.12) s] (t=2.478, P=0.037). On PND42, the plasma corticosterone level of female offspring was negatively correlated with total fluid consumption, sugar water consumption, and 1% sucrose preference percentage (r=−0.621, r=−0.728, r=−0.699; P<0.05), and positively correlated with immobility time in the tail suspension test and immobility time in the forced swimming test (r=0.571, r=0.712; P<0.05), However, there was no correlation between plasma corticosterone and emotional indicators on PND42 in male offspring (P>0.05). Conclusion Chronic stress during pregnancy causes emotional damage to the offspring, and female offspring show depression-like behaviors.
