Objective:To develop an online interactive cytopathological training program, and to evaluate it for improving the cytopathological diagnostic ability of endoscopists in endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of pancreas.Methods:A total of 5 500 cytopathological images were collected from 194 patients with pancreatic solid mass who underwent EUS-FNA in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from August 2018 to August 2019. The cell type in each cytopathological picture was labeled by senior cellular pathologists, which was used to build a learning and testing platform for online interactive cytopathological training. Five endoscopists without cytopathological background were invited to participate in this training. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of endoscopists in differential diagnosis of cancer and non-cancer before and after training were compared to evaluate the effect of the online interactive cytopathological training program on improving the ability of endoscopists in diagnosis of cytopathology.Results:A cytopathological training platform for endoscopists to learn and take online test was successfully built. Before training, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of diagnosis of cancer and non-cancer for endoscopists were 0.55 (95% CI: 0.53-0.58), 0.32 (95% CI: 0.30-0.35), 0.43 (95% CI: 0.41-0.45), 0.44 (95% CI: 0.41-0.47) and 0.43 (95% CI: 0.42-0.45), respectively. After training, the above indicators were 0.96 (95% CI: 0.95-0.97), 0.70 (95% CI: 0.68-0.73), 0.74 (95% CI: 0.72-0.76), 0.95 (95% CI: 0.94-0.96) and 0.81 (95% CI: 0.80-0.83), respectively, which were significantly improved compared with those before ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The online interactive cytopathological training program can improve the understanding and diagnostic ability of endoscopists in pancreatic cytopathology, help to implement rapid on-site evaluation in the process of EUS-FNA, and improve the diagnostic efficiency of EUS-FNA.

Objective:To investigate the current application of colonoscopy at hospitals in China.Methods:From November 2019 to January 2020, an online questionnaire survey was conducted among gastroenterologists and colonoscopists in hospitals of different levels. The contents of questionnaire survey included basic information of colonoscopy at the respondent′s hospital, protocols and patient education of bowel preparation, implementation of colonoscopy quality control, and colonoscopists′ understanding of polypectomy techniques and post-polypectomy follow-up.Results:A total of 236 valid questionnaires were collected, involving 187 hospitals, and 143 (76.5%) had an annual operation capacity of more than 5 000 cases. In terms of bowel preparation, split-dosed polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder (PEG) was the most commonly used (60.4%, 113/187) and the most common volume of PEG was 3 L (67.4%, 126/187). Verbal (90.9%, 170/187) and written (79.7%, 149/187) instructions were given more often than other methods for patient education of bowel preparation. Antifoaming agent was routinely used in 124 (66.3%) hospitals. In terms of quality control, only 11.5% (20/174) hospitals implemented all four measures. In terms of polypectomy techniques, 98.1% (203/207) colonoscopists chose hot snare polypectomy or endoscopic mucosal resection for lesions of diameter>1 cm, while options varied for lesions of diameter<1 cm. The interval of follow-up after polypectomy recommended by colonoscopists was shorter than that by guidelines.Conclusion:Several problems are found in the survey in the application of colonoscopy in China, i. e., patient education of bowel preparation is not diversified; quality control of colonoscopy still needs to be strengthened; polypectomy techniques and follow-up after polypectomy need to be further standardized.

Objective Bushen-Qingxin decoction combined conjugated estrogen tablets of modulation perimenopausal women osteoporosis patients, explore the impact of bone mineral density and bone metabolic markers. Methods A total of 160 female patients were recruited in our hospital by the random number table method, and were divided into the control group 80 cases and the observation group 80 cases. The control group was treated with standard dose of conjugated estrogen tablets, while the observation group was treated with Bushen Qingxin decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated 3 period with 28 days per period. The enzyme-linked immunity analyzer was used to detect serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), C-terminal cross linked peptide (CTX-Ⅰ), tartrate resistant acid phosphatase -5b (TRACP-5b) level, and the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measurement method was used to detect bone mineral density values. The clinical curative effect was compared between two groups. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 91.3%, while the control group was 78.8%, which showed the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=3.971, P=3.971). After treatment, the serum BALP levels (88.55 ± 10.33 U/L vs. 80.47 ± 8.67 U/L, t=5.399) of the observation group were significantly higher than this of the control group (P<0.01). After treatment, the serum TRACP-5b (501.31 ± 35.77 pg/L vs. 538.51 ± 37.69 pg/L, t=6.498), CTX- (130.09 ±Ⅰ17.55 ng/ml vs. 164.71 ± 19.45 ng/ml, t=11.928) of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.01). After treatment, the bone mineral density of the observation group rose up from the baseline (t=3.396, P=0.010). Conclusions The Bushen-Qingxin decoction combined conjugated estrogen tablets can increase on women in the menopausal transition of osteoporosis in patients with bone mineral density values and serum BALP levels, reduce serum TRACP-5b, CTX-Ⅰ level.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of a commercial low-residue diet (LRD) for bowel preparation of colonoscopy. Methods: This study was a prospective, endoscopist-blind, and randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups according to administration of LRD: the experimental group and the control group. Bowel preparation quality, compliance and tolerability of the two groups were compared. Results: A total of 61 patients were enrolled, with 32 in the experimental group and 29 in the control group. The outcomes were as follows: Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) (7.8±1.0 VS 7.1±1.3, P=0.037), the rate of bowel preparation adequacy (87.5% VS 79.3%, P=0.388), compliance rate of dietary restriction (78.1% VS 55.2%, P=0.057), preparation completion rate (93.8% VS 93.1%, P=0.919), cecal intubation rate (both were 100.0%) and cecum arrival time (9.1±2.9 min VS 9.8±3.7 min, P=0.417), incidence of adverse (3.1% VS 3.4%, P=0.944), and hunger rate before colonoscopy (34.4% VS 48.3%, P=0.102). Conclusion The LRD for bowel preparation of colonoscopy significantly improves BBPS, but its effect on improving the bowel preparation adequacy, patient compliance and tolerability needs to be confirmed by further larger-scale trials.

Objective To evaluate the mid-to-long term therapeutic effect of endoscopic pneumatic dilation for achalasia of cardia (AC).Methods Endoscopic pneumatic dilation was used in 45 AC patients, with follow-up of 2-12 years. Eckardt score and Stooler grading were used before and after the operation for evaluation of curative effect of dilation. Results The operation success rate was 97. 8%( 44/45) and the effective remission rate was 93. 2%( 41/44 ). No massive hemorrhage, perforation or other serious complications occurred.The longest follow-up time was up to 144 months.Ten cases were followed up for over 60 months. Patients′symptoms relieved significantly (P＜0. 01). Eckardt scores in 24 months and 60 months after operation significantly decreased compared with those before the operation ( P＜0. 01). But Eckardt score in 60 months was higher than that in 24 months ( P＜0. 01). The length of the disease history was positively related to post-operative scores, and negatively related to efficacy ( P＜0. 01). Conclusion Endoscopic balloon dilation is a satisfactory therapy to AC with good efficacy and safety.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of delayed post-polypectomy bleeding ( DPPB) of colonoscopy. Methods The data of 459 patients who underwent colonoscopic polypectomy between January 2014 and May 2017 were summarized, and the risk factors of DPPB were analyzed. Results Among the 459 patients, a total of 572 polyps were removed, and DPPB occurred in 27 patients with 42 polyps. Univariate analysis revealed that gender (male 85. 2%), number of polyps removed (≥3 polyps, 59. 3%), complicated with hyperlipidemia (29. 6%), polyps′diameter (≥10 mm, 66. 7%), morphology (pedunculated, 81. 0%), pathological type ( adenoma, 95. 2%), and excision method ( endoscopic mucosal resection, 90. 5%) were significantly correlated with DPPB ( all P＜0. 05). Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, with hyperlipidemia, number of polyps removed, polyps′ size, and morphology were independent risk factors of DPPB (P＜0. 05). Conclusion The risk factors of DPPB include male, complicated with hyperlipidemia, excision of more than 3 polyps, more than 10 mm in diameter, and pedunculated morphology.

Objective To investigate the expression of nuclear factor kappaB(NF-κB) and regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted chemokine(RANTES) during the formatiom of ascending aortic aneurysm. Methods Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into the control group(n=20) and the experimental group(n=20).The rat models were made by ligating the ascending aorta. The ascending aortas were taken after ligation for 3months. Immunohistochemistry staining was performed to detect the protein expression of NF-κB and RANTES. The expression of NF-κB and RANTES mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Results Immunohistochemisry staining results showed NF-κB and RANTES expression significantly increased in aneurysm, while there was a little positive staining in the control group. RT-PCR results indicated that the expression levels of NF-κB and RANTES in the aneurysm were stonger than that of the control group. The expression of NF-κB and RANTES mRNA were remarkably correlated. Conclusion The expression of NF-κB and RANTES in ascendin aortic aneurysm are stronger than that in the control. NF-κB and RANTES may contribute to the pathogenesis of the ascending aortic aneurysm.

Objective To investigate the correlation between expression levels of serum cytokines IL-2,IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) and chemotherapy resistance. Methods 30 cases of DLBCL patients with chemotherapy resistant, 30 cases of DLBCL patients with chemotherapy sensitive and 20 cases of healthy individuals as normal control group were enrolled. The levels of serum cytokines IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γbefore, during and after treatment in both DLBCL groups and normal control group were detected by ELISA assay. Results The expression level of serum IL-6 and IL-10 before treatment in DLBCL patients with chemotherapy resistance was significantly higher than that in DLBCL patients with chemotherapy sensitive and normal control group (P ＜ 0.05), however,that after treatment in DLBCL patients with chemotherapy resistance was significantly lower than that before treatment (P = 0.02, P = 0.015). The level of serum IL-6 and IL-10 in patients with DLBCL recurrence into drug resistance was higher than that during of remission (P = 0.004, P ＜0.001). Before treatment, the expression level of serum IL-6 in patients with Ⅲ-Ⅳ stage in chemotherapy resistant group was significantly higher than that in ones with Ⅰ - Ⅱ stage(P ＜0.05). Levels of IL-2, IL-8, TNF-α and IFN-γin chemotherapy resistant group, chemotherapy sensitive group and the normal control group were no differences (P ＞0.05).Conclusion The expression levels of the serum IL-6 and IL-10 were closely correlated with the chemotherapy efficacy of DLBCL, they may be involved in drug resistance of DLBCL.
