ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the incidence and treatment of perioperative anemia in patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms in Hubei Province. Methods: The clinicopathological data of 7 474 patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms in 62 hospitals in 15 cities (state) of Hubei Province in 2019 were collected in the form of network database. There were 4 749 males and 2 725 females. The median age of the patients was 62 years (range: 17 to 96 years). The hemoglobin value of the first time in hospital and the first day after operation was used as the criterion of preoperative anemia and postoperative anemia. Anemia was defined as male hemoglobin <120 g/L and female hemoglobin <110.0 g/L, mild anemia as 90 to normal, moderate anemia as 60 to <90 g/L, severe anemia as <60 g/L. The t test and χ2 test were used for inter-group comparison. Results: The overall incidence of preoperative anemia was 38.60%(2 885/7 474), and the incidences of mild anemia, moderate anemia and severe anemia were 25.09%(1 875/7 474), 11.37%(850/7 474) and 2.14%(160/7 474), respectively. The overall incidence of postoperative anemia was 61.40%(4 589/7 474). The incidence of mild anemia, moderate anemia and severe anemia were 48.73%(3 642/7 474), 12.20%(912/7 474) and 0.47%(35/7 474), respectively. The proportion of preoperative anemia patients receiving treatment was 26.86% (775/2 885), and the proportion of postoperative anemia patients receiving treatment was 14.93% (685/4 589). The proportions of preoperative anemia patients in grade ⅢA, grade ⅢB, and grade ⅡA hospitals receiving treatment were 26.12% (649/2 485), 32.32% (85/263), and 29.93% (41/137), and the proportions of postoperative anemia patients receiving treatment were 14.61% (592/4 052), 22.05% (73/331), and 9.71% (20/206). The proportion of intraoperative blood transfusion (16.74% (483/2 885) vs. 3.05% (140/4 589), χ²=434.555, P<0.01) and the incidence of postoperative complications (17.78% (513/2 885) vs. 14.08% (646/4 589), χ²=18.553, P<0.01) in the preoperative anemia group were higher than those in the non-anemia group, and the postoperative hospital stay in the preoperative anemia group was longer than that in the non-anemia group ((14.1±7.3) days vs. (13.3±6.2) days, t=5.202, P<0.01). Conclusions: The incidence of perioperative anemia in patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms is high. Preoperative anemia can increase the demand for intraoperative blood transfusion and affect the short-term prognosis of patients. At present, the concept of standardized treatment of perioperative anemia among gastrointestinal surgeons in Hubei Province needs to be improved.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of sporadic multiple primary gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Case inclusion criteria: (1) postoperative pathological diagnosis of GIST; (2) primary GIST with single lesion or sporadic multiple primary GIST (sporadic GIST was defined as primary GIST other than familial and syndrome-related GIST, and multiple primary GIST was defined as the number of primary GISTs in the same patient ≥ 2); (3) patients with complete clinicopathological data. Those with tumor recurrence or distant metastasis, and with other malignancies were excluded. Medical records of patients with primary GIST who underwent surgical resection in the Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2010 to December 2020 were collected. Patients were divided into sporadic multiple primary GIST group and single primary GIST group according to the number of primary GIST lesions. The clinicopathological data and prognosis of the two groups were observed and compared. Results: A total of 1200 patients with primary GIST were enrolled in this study, including 628 males (52.3%) and 572 females (47.7%), with a median onset age of 58 (19-93) years. Among them, 1165 cases (97.1%) were sporadic primary GIST with single lesion; 35 cases (2.9%) were sporadic multiple primary GIST. Among 35 cases of sporadic multiple primary GIST, 3 cases (8.6%) had acid reflux as the first symptom, which was higher than the single primary GIST group (22/1165, 1.9%) (χ(2)=7.437, P=0.006). There were no significant differences in other clinical characteristics between the two groups (all P>0.05). Patients in the sporadic multiple primary GIST group contained a total of 80 primary tumors. Compared with the single primary GIST group, the sporadic multiple primary GIST group had a higher proportion of tumors originating in the stomach [87.5% (70/80) vs. 59.1% (689/1165)], lower proportion of spindle cell in histology [85.0% (68/80) vs. 93.7% (1092/1165)], higher proportion of positive CD34 [97.5% (78/80) vs. 87.6% (1021/1165)], smaller maximum diameter [maximum diameter ≤2.0 cm: 61.2% (49/80) vs. 28.8% (335/1165)], lower mitotic rate [≤5/50 high-power fields (HPF): 93.8% (75/80) vs. 74.5% (868/1165)], lower risk of recurrence [60.0% (48/80) vs. 23.3% (271/1165)], and the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). The 3-year recurrence-free survival rate in the sporadic multiple primary group and the single primary GIST group was 96.6% and 89.3% respectively (P=0.160), and the 3-year overall survival rate was 100.0% and 92.8%, respectively (P=0.088). Conclusions: The most common type of sporadic multiple primary GIST is multiple tumors originating in the stomach at the same time. Compared with primary GIST with single lesion, sporadic multiple primary GIST presents smaller maximum diameter and lower mitotic rate. The prognosis of patients between two groups is not significantly different.

The clinical effect of laparoscopic rectal cancer curative excision with pelvic autonomic nerve preservation (PANP) was investigated. This study evaluated the frequency of urinary and sexual dysfunction of 149 male patients with middle and low rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic or open total mesorectal excision with pelvic autonomic nerve preservation (PANP) from March 2011 to March 2013. Eighty-four patients were subjected to laparoscopic surgery, and 65 to open surgery respectively. The patients were followed up for 12 months, interviewed, and administered a standardized questionnaire about postoperative functional outcomes and quality of life. In the laparoscopic group, 13 patients (18.37%) presented transitory postoperative urinary dysfunction, and were medically treated. So did 12 patients (21.82%) in open group. Sexual desire was maintained by 52.86%, un-ability to engage in intercourse by 47.15%, and un-ability to achieve orgasm and ejaculation by 34.29% of the patients in the laparoscopic group. Sexual desire was maintained by 56.36%, un-ability to engage in intercourse by 43.63%, and un-ability to achieve orgasm and ejaculation by 33.73% of the patients in the open group. No significant differences in urinary and sexual dysfunction between the laparoscopic and open rectal resection groups were observed (P>0.05). It was concluded that laparoscopic rectal cancer radical excision with PANP did not aggravate or improve sexual and urinary dysfunction.
