ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the risk prediction model of anastomotic fistula after radical resection of esophageal cancer, and to provide objective basis for selecting a suitable model. MethodsA comprehensive search was conducted on Chinese and English databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library for relevant studies on the risk prediction model of anastomotic fistula after radical resection of esophageal cancer from inception to April 30, 2023. Two researchers independently screened literatures and extracted data information. PROBAST tool was used to assess the risk of bias and applicability of included literatures. Meta-analysis was performed on the predictive value of common predictors in the model with RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 18 studies were included, including 11 Chinese literatures and 7 English literatures. The area under the curve (AUC) of the prediction models ranged from 0.68 to 0.954, and the AUC of 10 models was >0.8, indicating that the prediction performance was good, but the risk of bias in the included studies was high, mainly in the field of research design and data analysis. The results of the meta-analysis on common predictors showed that age, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, C-reactive protein, history of preoperative chemotherapy, hypoproteinemia, peripheral vascular disease, pulmonary infection, and calcification of gastric omental vascular branches are effective predictors for the occurrence of anastomotic leakage after radical surgery for esophageal cancer (P<0.05). ConclusionThe study on the risk prediction model of anastomotic fistula after radical resection of esophageal cancer is still in the development stage. Future studies can refer to the common predictors summarized by this study, and select appropriate methods to develop and verify the anastomotic fistula prediction model in combination with clinical practice, so as to provide targeted preventive measures for patients with high-risk anastomotic fistula as soon as possible.
ObejectiveTo summarize the research progress of risk factors contributing to postoperative pulmonary infection in gastric cancer, so as to provide reference for medical decision-makers and clinical practitioners to effectively control the incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection in gastric cancer, ensure medical safety and improve the quality of life of patients. MethodThe researches at home and abroad on the factors contributing to pulmonary infection after gastric cancer surgery in recent years were reviewed and analyzed. ResultsThere was currently no uniform diagnostic standard for pulmonary infection. The incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection for gastric cancer varied in the different countries and regions. The pathogenic bacteria that caused postoperative pulmonary infection of gastric cancer was mainly gram-negative bacteria, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter boulardii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The patient’s age, history of smoking, preoperative pulmonary function, preoperative laboratory indicators, preoperative comorbidities, preoperative nutritional status, preoperative weakness, anesthesia, tumor location, surgical modality, duration of surgery, blood transfusion, indwelling gastrointestinal decompression tube, wound pain, and so on were possible factors associated with postoperative pulmonary infection of gastric cancer. ConclusionsThe incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection for gastric cancer is not promising. Based on the recognition of related factors, it is proposed that it is necessary to develop a risk prediction model for postoperative pulmonary infection of gastric cancer to identify high-risk patients. In addition to the conventional intervention strategy, taking the pathogenesis as the breakthrough, finding the key factors that lead to the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary infection of gastric cancer is the fundamental way to reduce its occurrence.
ObjectiveBy comparing the epidemiological characteristics of the incidence and death of female breast cancer in China and the United States, the differences in prevention and screening strategies between China and the United States were analyzed to explore the prevention and control measures of female breast cancer in China. MethodsBased on the relevant data released by the Global Burden of Disease in 2020, the National Cancer Center of China, and the China Health Statistical Yearbook, the new cases and deaths of breast cancer in Chinese and American women in 2023 were estimated respectively, and the incidence, mortality and time trend of breast cancer in Chinese and American women were analyzed. ResultsIn China, 376 789 new cases of female breast cancer and 116 791 deaths were expected in 2023. In the United States, approximately 297 790 women were expected to be newly diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023, representing approximately 15.2% of new cancer cases. About 43 170 women died from breast cancer, accounting for about 7.1% of all cancer deaths. The incidence of breast cancer in women in the United States during the period 1975–2020 gradually increased and then stabilized; In contrast, the incidence of breast cancer among Chinese women increased year by year during the period 1990–2020. In recent years, the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer in Chinese women had increased more than those in the United States, and there was a large difference between urban and rural areas in China. ConclusionsBoth China and the United States face a large burden of female breast cancer, and the characteristics of female breast cancer in China are similar to those in the United States. To reduce the burden of breast cancer in Chinese women, further efforts should be made in various aspects, such as strengthening breast cancer education, raising public health awareness, improving diet structure, cultivating healthy lifestyle, increasing screening efforts, and improving medical level.
Objective To analyze the early clinical outcome of high-operative-risk coronary artery bypass grafting （CABG） classified according European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation （EuroSCORE）. Methods Classified eighty-four patients accepted CABG from Feb. 2004 to Sep. 2004 in our ward to high-operativerisk group （≥6, n=40） and low-medium-operative-risk group （0-5, n=44） according EuroSCORE. Record the operative schemes, complications after operation and evaluate the severe state with acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ （APACHE Ⅱ ） and sequential organ failure assessment（SOFA） for all patients. Compare the early clinical outcome between the two groups. Results The operative mortality, ratio of long ICU-staying time, incidence of complications and severe degree of high-operative-risk group were higher than those in the low-mediumoperative-risk group. Standard EuroSCORE had significant positive correlation with either of A0, A1, Amax or S1, Smax counted in total patients （P〈0. 01）, and the same as logistic EuroSCORE （P〈 0. 05）. But when compared the relationships in certain risk ranks, only in high-operative-risk group the positive correlation was found between standard EuroSCORE and A1, Amax, S1 and Smax （P〈 0. 05）, between logistic EuroSCORE and Amax （P〈 0. 05）. Conclusion EuroSCORE could evaluate overall operative risk perfectly in our patients, and maybe more sensitively in the high-operative-risk patients. Many factors could improve the prognosis of high-operative-risk patients： accurate evaluation of the operative risk before surgery; perfect myocardial protection, effective myocardial revascularization and thorough correction of malformation in operation, and proper postoperative management in time.
Objective To explore the risk factors of chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) after transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP), establish and verify the risk prediction model, and then evaluate the prediction effectiveness of the model. Methods The clinical data of 362 patients who received TAPP surgery was retrospectively analyzed and divided into model group (n=300) and validation group (n=62). The risk factors of CPIP in the model group were screened by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the risk prediction model was established and tested. Results The incidence of CPIP at 6 months after operation was 27.9% (101/362). Univariate analysis showed that gender (χ2= 12.055, P=0.001), age (t=–4.566, P<0.01), preoperative pain (χ2=44.686, P<0.01) and early pain at 1 week after operation (χ2=150.795, P<0.01) were related to CPIP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, preoperative pain, early pain at 1 week after operation, and history of lower abdominal surgery were independent risk predictors of CPIP. The area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of the risk prediction model was calculated to be 0.933 [95%CI (0.898, 0.967)], and the optimal cut-off value was 0.129, while corresponding specificity and sensitivity were 87.6% and 91.5% respectively. The prediction accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of the model were 91.9% (57/62), 90.7% and 94.7%, respectively when the validation group data were substituted into the prediction model. Conclusion Female, age≤64 years old, preoperative pain, early pain at 1 week after operation and without history of lower abdominal surgery are independent risk factors for the incidence of CPIP after TAPP, and the risk prediction model established on this basis has good predictive efficacy, which can further guide the clinical practice.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and to compare the incidence of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy with internal drainage of main pancreatic duct and external drainage according to the pancreatic fistula risk score (FRS) system, to provide the basis for the best drainage scheme in clinic. Methods The clinical data of 76 patients with PD who treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2016 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively, to explore the risk factors of pancreatic fistula. Single factor analysis was based on group chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method, and multivariate analysis was based on unconditioned logistic regression model. According to the results of FRS, the difference of pancreatic fistula in different risk groups was explored. The statistical method was chi-square test. Results The incidence of pancreatic fistula after PD was 31. 5% in 76 patients.Univariate analysis showed that the diameter of the main pancreatic duct and the texture of the pancreas were the related factors affecting the occurrence of pancreatic fistula after PD (P<0.05), and the soft pancreas was the independent risk factor for the occurrence of pancreatic fistula after PD (OR=3.886, P=0.011). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula between the internal drainage group and the external drainage group (P>0.05). There was no pancreatic fistula occurred in the patients with negligible risk. The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula in patients with high risk of external drainage group was only 12.5%, comparing with patients in internal drainage group (63.6%), the difference was statistically significant (P=0.026). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula between patients in the external drainage group with moderate risk and low risk compared with the corresponding patients in the internal drainage group (P>0.05). Conclusions Pancreatic texture was an independent risk factor for pancreatic fistula after PD. External drainage maybe more effective than internal drainage in preventing pancreatic fistula after PD in patients with high risk of FRS.
ObjectiveTo analyze the effect of carotid artery stenosis degree and intervention for carotid artery stenosis on the incidence of central nervous system complications after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) and explore the influencing factors. MethodsA total of 1 150 patients undergoing OPCABG in our hospital from June 2018 to June 2021 were selected and divided into two groups according to whether there were central nervous system complications, including a central nervous system complication group [n=61, 43 males and 18 females with a median age of 68.0 (63.0, 74.0) years] and a non-central nervous system complication group [n=1 089, 796 males and 293 females with a median age of 65.5 (59.0, 70.0) years]. The risk factors for central nervous system complications after OPCABG were analyzed. ResultsUnivariate analysis showed that age, smoking, hyperlipidemia, preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, intra-aortic ballon pump (IABP), postoperative arrhythmia, postoperative thoracotomy and blood transfusion volume were associated with central nervous system complications. The incidence of central nervous system complications in patients with severe carotid artery stenosis or occlusion (11.63%) was higher than that in the non-stenosis and mild stenosis patients (4.80%) and moderate stenosis patients (4.76%) with a statistical difference (P=0.038). The intervention for carotid artery stenosis before or during the operation did not reduce the incidence of central nervous system complications after the operation (42.11% vs. 2.99%, P<0.001). Age, postoperative arrhythmia, severe unilateral or bilateral carotid artery stenosis and occlusion were independent risk factors for postoperative central nervous system complications (P<0.05). Conclusion The age, smoking, hyperlipidemia, preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, intraoperative use of IABP, postoperative arrhythmia, secondary thoracotomy after surgery, blood transfusion volume and OPCABG are associated with the incidence of postoperative central nervous system complications in patients. Age, postoperative arrhythmia, severe unilateral or bilateral carotid artery stenosis and occlusion are independent risk factors for postoperative central nervous system complications. In patients with severe carotid artery stenosis, preoperative treatment of the carotid artery will not reduce the incidence of central nervous system complications.
Objective To describe the development trend of clinical symptoms, pulmonary function and chest imaging examination of COVID-19 discharged from Xinyang from January 2020 to June 2020, and analyze the related risk factors. Methods This study was a prospective, longitudinal and cohort study. The survivors of COVID-19 hospitalized in Xinyang Fifth People's Hospital and Xinyang Central Hospital from January to June, 2020 were prospectively followed up 12 months and 24 months after discharge. Patients who refused to participate in the study and suffered from cancer and chronic respiratory diseases, including asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, were excluded. During the follow-up period, the patients who meet the research conditions were asked about clinical symptoms, routine and biochemical blood tests, pulmonary function and chest high-resolution CT (HRCT) and 6-minute walking distance test, and were evaluated with the Dyspnea Scale (mMRC). Results It was found that from January to June, 2020, among 207 eligible patients, 169 patients participated in this study, including 126 cases of mild and ordinary type (74.6%) and 43 cases of severe and critical type (25.4%). There were 100 males (59.2%) and 69 females (40.8%), aged 20 - 78 years old (50±15). It was found that more than half of COVID-19 patients had one or more symptoms at the end of 12 months after rehabilitation, including fatigue (90 cases, 53.3%), insomnia (43 cases, 25.4%), anxiety (24 cases, 14.2%), chest tightness (29 cases, 17.2%) and alopecia (35 cases, 20.7%). Two years after discharge, 52 patients (30.8%) still had at least one clinical symptom. The quality of life, cardiopulmonary function and exercise ability of COVID-19 patients in rehabilitation period decreased to varying degrees. Most patients' lung function and CT results returned to normal, but a few patients still had persistent lung function and imaging abnormalities 12 months and 24 months after discharge. Pulmonary function was mainly manifested as diffuse function injury, and the predicted value of carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) was less than 80% in 44 cases (26.0%). Pulmonary HRCT mainly showed chronic inflammation in one lung/both lungs (28 cases, 41.2%), multiple nodules in one lung/both lungs (23 cases, 33.8%) and ground glass shadow (10 cases, 14.7%), etc. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female COVID-19 patients with old age were more likely to have anxiety symptoms after discharge, which had nothing to do with the severity of acute disease. Older female patients with severe COVID-19 were more likely to have symptoms of DLCO damage during the recovery period, and their lung function gradually recovered with time. Conclusions Most of COVID-19 patients in Xinyang recovered well during the rehabilitation period, but some patients still had clinical symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, etc. The absorption of lung lesions was slow and some patients were accompanied by impaired pulmonary diffusion function. With the extension of rehabilitation time, the above symptoms have been significantly improved.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a common theraputic option for aortic stenosis, but the evidence for precise anatomy for TAVR is accumulating. This paper presents the case of an 71-year-old female patient who had an extremely high risk of coronary obstruction due to both coronary ostia lying too low. The patient underwent TAVR with the help of coronary protection successfully. During the procedure, the patient was protected with wires only for both coronaries. After deployment, angiofluoroscopy suggested that chimney stenting should be applied for left coronary. The whole procedure was unenventful and both coronaries were seen.
