ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) complicated with intra- and extra-intestinal tumors, and so as to provide reference for clinical practice.Methods:From October 2008 to March 2022, the clinical data of 2 360 IBD patients diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University were collected, and the IBD patients complicated with intra- and extra-intestinal tumors were screened out. IBD with colorectal cancer, small intestine cancer and intestinal lymphoma were enrolled into intra-intestinal tumor group, IBD complicated with other tumors except intra-intestinal tumors were enrolled into extra-intestinal tumor group. The clinical characteristics of the 2 groups were retrospectively compared, and the risk factors affecting survival of IBD complicated intra- and extra-intestinal tumor were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, Cox regression model was performed to analyze the prognostic risk factors, and independent sample t test, Fisher′s exact test and log-rank test were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 43 IBD patients with intra- and extra-intestinal tumor were screened out, and the overall tumor incidence rate was 1.82% (43/2 360). The rate of IBD complicated with intra-intestinal tumor accounted for 1.27% (30/2 360). Among them, the rate of ulcerative colitis (UC) complicated with intra-intestinal tumor was 1.48% (25/1 685), and the rate of Crohn′s disease (CD) complicated with intra-intestinal tumor was 0.74% (5/675). The rate of IBD with extra-intestinal tumor accounted for 0.55% (13/2 360). Among them, the rate of UC complicated with extra-intestinal tumor was 0.71% (12/1 685), and the rate of CD complicated with extra-intestinal tumor was 0.15% (1/675). There were no significant differences in the rate of intra- and extra-intestinal tumors between UC and CD patients (both P>0.05). In the intra-intestinal tumor group, the age when diagnosed with IBD and the age when tumor diagnosed were (37.0±13.8) years old and (47.7±13.5) years old, which were both lower than those of the extra-intestinal tumor group ((51.8±6.2) years old and (60.7±7.8) years old), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-3.69 and -3.24, P=0.001 and 0.002). The lesion location when tumor diagnosed of UC patients with intra-intestinal tumor mainly was extensive colonic type(64.0%, 16/25), followed by left part colonic type and rectal type in turn (28.0%, 7/25 and 8.0%, 2/25). In UC patients with extra-intestinal tumor, mainly was rectal type (8/12), followed by left part colonic type (3/12) and extensive colonic type (1/12) in turn. There was statistically significant difference bwtween the UC patients with intra- and extra-intestinal tumor in the extent of lesions when tumor diaghosed (Fisher′s exact test, P<0.001). The activity of IBD of intra-intestinal tumor group when tumor diagnosed mainly was severe activity phase (46.7%, 14/30), followed by moderate activity phase, mild activity phase and remission phase in turn (33.3%, 10/30; 20.0%, 6/30 and 0). The activity of IBD of extra-intestinal tumor group when tumor diagnosed mainly was remission phase (7/13), followed by moderate activity phase, mild activity phase and severe activity phase in turn (3/13, 2/13 and 1/13). There were statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in the composition of IBD activity when tumor diagnosed (Fisher′s exact test, P<0.001). The survival analysis indicated the median survival time of IBD complicated with intra-intestinal tumor group was 145.9 months, and that of the extra-intestinal tumor group was 29.9 months. The results of multivariate Cox analysis showed that the occurrence of extra-intestinal tumor was an independent risk factor of patient survival rate( HR=5.119, 95% confidence interval 1.485 to 17.643, P=0.010). Conclusions:IBD patients had a high risk of developing intra- and extra-intestinal tumors. The intra-intestinal tumor group mainly is extensive colonic type and severe active period, while the extra-intestinal tumor group mainly is rectal type and remission period. Compared with that of the extra-intestinal tumor group, the age at time of IBD onset and tumor diagnosed of intestinal tumor are younger, and the survival time is longer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the mental health status of officers and soldiers (OSs) in a Chinese army unit,and analyze its relationship with Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection.Methods Cross sectional extraction of 1293 male soldiers from a certain unit of Chinese army in September 2015,aged 17-37 years old,average age 20.5 ± 3.2.Using the symptom self rating scale (SCL-90) to conduct a psychological evaluation,comparison between the evaluation results and the Chinese military norm was conducted to understand the mental health status of OSs in the unit.13C-urea breath test was used to detect H.pylori infection,and the relationship between the positivity rate of various factors,the SCL-90 score and H.pylori infection were analyzed.Ninety OSs who had desire to eradicate H.pylori serves as the experimental group,and 90 H.pylori-infected OSs as control group.The experimental group received quadruple-drug eradication therapy,control group received no drug treatment.SCL-90 scores before and after the treatment were compared,and SCL-90 scores after treatment in the experimental group and those in the control group were also compared for analyzing the relationship between the OSs psychological status and H.pylori infection.Results The SCL-90 score of the OSs was lower than the norm of Chinese army,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The psychological screening positive rate was higher in H.pylori-positive OSs than H.pylori-negative those and the positive rates of psychological screening factors somatization,interpersonal sensitivity,hostility and paranoid were higher in H.pylori-positive OSs than in H.Pylorinegative those,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).After the eradication of H.pylori in the experimental group these factor scores were lower than those before eradication.Compared with control group SCL-90 scores,soldiers somatization,interpersonal sensitivity,anxiety,hostility,paranoid factor score in experimental group after treatment were lower,the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mental health is better in OSs in this unit,the negative mental status is obvious in H.pylori-infected OSs than in H.pylori-negative those,and to eradicate H.pylori can improve their psychological state.
