Objective To investigate the relationship between the development of terminal rectal ganglion and spinal cord/sacral abnormalities in boys with complex anorectal malformations(ARMs)in order to improve the understanding of rectal ganglion development abnormalities in ARMs patients.Methods A retrospective trial was conducted on the male patients with complex ARMs admitted to our hospital from 2015 to 2021.The terminal rectal specimens were taken from them during anoplasty.According to the findings on development of terminal rectal ganglion after HE staining,the patients were classified into G1 group(ganglion cells observed)and G2 group(no ganglion cells observed).Imaging techniques were used to evaluate whether there were abnormalities in the spinal cord and sacrum,and their correlation with the terminal rectal ganglion development was analyzed.Results A total of 139 patients were enrolled,and their median age at anoplasty was 5.77(4.57,6.97)months.There were no significant differences between the G1(n=80,57.6％)and G2(n=59,42.4％)groups in ARMs pathological type(P=0.706)and age at surgery(P=0.140).Radiological findings showed there were 48 cases(34.5％)of spinal cord anomalies(SCA),25 cases(18.0％)of sacral abnormalities and 18 cases(12.9％)of coccyx abnormalities.No significant differences were observed in the incidences of SCA and sacral abnormalities between the G1 and G2 groups(P＜0.05).Moreover,the differences of fatty filum terminale and syrinx were statistically significant(P＜0.05).In addition,the ratio of sacrum to coccyx between the G1 and G2 groups were 0.72±0.10 vs 0.67±0.12(P＜0.05)of the anteroposterior position and 0.77±0.09 vs 0.72±0.09(P＜0.05)of the lateral position.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sacral abnormalities,fatty filum terminale and syrinx were independent predictors of rectal terminal ganglion absence in male patients with complex ARMs.Conclusion The development of terminal rectal ganglia in male patients with ARMs is closely associated with the abnormalities of spinal cord and sacrum.Sacral abnormalities,fatty filum terminale and syrinx are independent predictors of rectal terminal ganglion absence in male patients with complex ARMs.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative electroacupuncture intervention in promoting postoperative gastrointestinal functional recovery by meta-analysis.Methods The databases of PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,Embase,CBM,CNKI,VIP,and WanFang were searched systematically.The search period ranged from the inception of the databases to March 2024.Two researchers screened the literature independently,extracted the data,used Cochrane Risk of Bias tools to evaluate the quality of the inclusion study,and used RevMan 5.3 software for meta-analysis.Results Twelve RCTs were included,with 773 patients.There were 421 patients in the preoperative electroacupuncture group and 352 patients in the control group.The results of the meta-analysis showed that,time to first flatus(SMD=-0.56,95%CI-0.84 to-0.28,P＜0.001),time to first defecation(MD=-6.40 hours,95%CI-9.27 to-3.53,P＜0.001),time to bowel sound recovery(MD=-8.45 hours,95%CI-10.37 to-6.52,P＜0.001),time to first oral feeding(MD=-16.88 hours,95%CI-23.92 to-9.83,P＜0.001),the incidence of PONV(RR=0.75,95%CI 0.57 to 0.98,P=0.04)and length of hospital stay(MD=-0.78 d,95%CI-1.38 to-0.19,P=0.010)were significantly lower than the control group.Conclusion Electroacupuncture intervention before operation can effectively promote the recovery of post-operative exhaust,defecation,and bowel sound,shorten the time of fasting and drinking,reduce the inci-dence of PONV,shorten the length of hospital stay,and has good clinical value in promoting the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To investigate the application effect of a bedside ultrasound-guided intestinal cleaning program in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.Methods A total of 51 patients with severe acute pancreatitis admitted to the ICU of a tertiary A hospital in Shandong from March to September 2023 were selected by convenience sampling method,and they were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to random number table method.The experimental group was given the bedside ultrasound-guided intestinal cleaning program,and the control group was given the routine intestinal cleaning program.Acute gastrointestinal injury ultrasonography score,the incidence of grade Ⅲ acute gastrointestinal injury and intra-abdominal pressure were compared between the 2 groups before intervention,on the 3rd and 5th day.Results There was an interaction effect between time and group in the comparison of acute gastrointestinal injury ultrasonography scores in the 2 groups(F=7.478,P<0.001);simple effect analysis showed that acute gastrointestinal injury ultrasonography scores in the experimental group were lower than those in control group on the 3rd and 5th day,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The incidence of grade Ⅲ acute gastrointestinal injury in the experimental group(23%)was lower than that in the control group(60%),with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The intra-abdominal pressure had an interaction effect between the 2 groups(F=47.128,P<0.001);simple effect analysis showed that the intra-abdominal pressure in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group on the 3rd and 5th day,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The bedside ultrasound-guided intestinal cleaning program can improve acute gastrointestinal injury and reduce intra-abdominal hypertension in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.

The clinical practice guidelines for prevention and treatment of postoperative gastrointestinal disorder with Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (2023) issued by the Anaesthesia Committee and Perioperative Medicine Committee of the Chinese Society of Integrative Medicine is the first evidence-based guideline for postoperative gastrointestinal disorder in China. It covers the definition, aetiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of postoperative gastrointestinal disorder. Compared with previous expert consensus, this guideline has advantages in terms of scientific and rigorous methodology and is quite representative. Interpreting this guideline can help strengthen clinicians′ understanding of postoperative gastrointestinal disorder and enhance clinical practitioners′ understanding of the methodology of this guideline, thus enabling a better integration of recommendations and evidence for clinical practice and hastening the implementation of the guidelines. It also accelerates the dissemination of the methodological development of guidelines in China, helps clinicians understand the connotation and value of the guidelines, and provides methodological guidance and references for formulating clinical practice guidelines based on the current situation in China and involving other clinical disciplines.

Objective To compare the safety and clinical value of warm-water infusion or carbon dioxide(CO2)insufflation in difficult colonoscopy.Methods A collection of 150 patients from May 2021 to October 2023 who underwent unsedated and difficult colonoscopy were randomly divided into warm-water insufflation group(W group,n=50),CO2 insufflation group(C group,n=50)and air insufflation group(A group,n=50).Record the cecal insertion time,the abdominal pain score during the examination and 20 min and 1 h after the examination,the success rate of intubation,the polyps detection rate,the willingness to re-examine and the need for assistance in the three groups.Some patients were randomly selected to record partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide(PetCO2)of pre-examination,the ileocecal and 20 min after the examination to understand CO2 retention in the body.Results The cecal insertion time of group A was longer than that of group W and group C,and group W was shorter than group C.The abdominal pain score of group A was higher than that of group W and group C at each time point,and the abdominal pain score during the examination was lower in the group W compared with group C.The success rate of intubation and the willingness to re-examination in the group A were lower than those in group W and group C,The above differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).However,there was no statistical difference between the the group W and group C in terms of success rate of intubation,willingness to re-examine,and abdominal pain score at 20 minutes and 1 hour after the examination(P>0.05).In the group W,significantly fewer patients required abdominal compression compared with the other two groups,and the rate of position conversion was significantly lower than that in group A(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the detection rate of polyps among the three groups(P>0.05).In addition,PetCO2 of group C was within the normal range at all time points,and there was no statistical difference compared with the group A(P>0.05).Conclusion Compared with the air group,water or CO2 insufflation colonoscopy is safe and has a high success rate in difficult colonoscopy.It can reduce the patient's abdominal discomfort,especially water insufflation colonoscopy is more suitable for promotion in primary hospitals.

Objective:To develop a risk assessment scale for infusion port occlusion in patients with malignant tumors and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:An initial item pool was constructed based on literature review. Through purposive sampling, two rounds of Delphi consultations with 20 experts were conducted from March to May 2023. Weights were assigned to the indicators using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and the risk assessment scale was finalized. From June to September 2023, a convenience sample of 278 malignant tumor patients with infusion ports from four Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Shanxi Province was selected for item analysis and reliability and validity testing.Results:The risk assessment scale for infusion port occlusion in malignant tumor patients includes five dimensions, 16 primary indicators, and 35 secondary indicators. The content validity index at the scale level was 0.925, and at the item level ranged from 0.818 to 1.000. A total of five factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, with a cumulative contribution rate of 57.081% to the variance. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.815, with a cutoff score of 24.50. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.910, and the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.762.Conclusions:The risk assessment scale for infusion port occlusion in malignant tumor patients demonstrates good reliability and validity, and has high predictive power, which provides a scientific basis for identifying high-risk populations in clinical settings.

Objective To observe the value of dual-source CT(DECT)virtual monoenergetic imaging(VMI)for differentiating prostate cancer(PC)and benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods Thirty-three patients with PC(PC group)and 44 patients with BPH(BPH group)were retrospectively enrolled,and 40-100 keV(with 10 keV interval)VMI were reconstructed based on arterial phase DECT images,respectively.Clinical data,focal CT value and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of VMI with different energy levels and conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase were compared between groups.Binary logistic regression models were constructed based on clinical data being significantly different between groups,focal CT value of VMI with energy level with the highest CNR,also focal CT value of conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase,respectively.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the efficacy of each model for differentiating PC and BPH.Results Free prostate-specific antigen(f-PSA),total prostate-specific antigen(t-PSA),focal CT value of 40-100 keV VMI and conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase in PC group were all higher,while short diameter in PC group was smaller than those in BPH group(all P＜0.05).Logistic regression models were constructed based on f-PSA,t-PSA,short diameter,CT value at 40 keV VMI and CT value at conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase,respectively,with AUC for differentiating PC and BPH of 0.879,0.902,0.701,0.911 and 0.857,respectively.Conclusion DECT VMI could be used as a supplementary examination for prostate diseases,and 40 keV VMI had the best efficacy for differentiating PC and BPH.

Objective:To investigate the epidemic situation of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis in Henan Province, evaluate the effectiveness of prevention and control measures, and provide a basis for formulating further prevention and control policies.Methods:From April to November 2021, a census of all diseased villages registered in 112 drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis counties (cities, districts, hereinafter referred to as counties) of 17 provincial-level cities and 9 provincial-level counties (cities) in Henan Province was conducted to collect the basic information of diseased counties and villages. The content of fluoride in drinking water and the prevalence of dental fluorosis in children aged 8 - 12 years old were measured on a village by village basis.Results:By the end of 2021, drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis was prevalent in 112 diseased counties in Henan Province, involving 17 450 diseased villages. Among them, 17 433 villages had implemented measures to reduce fluoride and improve water quality, with a water improvement rate of 99.90% (17 433/17 450). There were 14 920 villages with qualified water, and the qualified rate of water fluoride was 85.50% (14 920/17 450). There were a total of 4 232 water improvement projects in all diseased villages, with a normal operation rate of 97.09% (4 109/4 232) and a qualified rate of 93.03% (3 937/4 232) for water fluoride in the projects. The total detection rate of dental fluorosis in children in the province was 9.64% (39 391/408 584), with moderate to severe dental fluorosis accounted for 8.08% (3 182/39 391), the dental fluorosis index was 0.18. The prevalence of fluorosis was negative.Conclusions:In 2021, the prevalence of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis is widespread in Henan Province, and measures to reduce fluoride and improve water quality in diseased villages have been basically implemented. However, the fluoride content of water in some villages still does not meet the standard, and some water improvement projects cannot operate normally throughout the year. In the future, it is necessary to address the above issues one by one and consolidate the achievements in prevention and control of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis.
