ABSTRACT
Introduction@#Colorectal cancer remains one of the critical healthcare challenges nowadays. There are a lot of studies done on colonic polypectomy around the world, and mostly diagnosis with dysplasia change, so we consider to chose to study this topic.@*Aim@#In this study, we aimed to compare the between cold snare polypectomy (CSP) and hot snare polypectomy (HSP) of removing colon polyps. This method helped us to investigate which of the two methods is most prevalent for polypectomy.@*Materials and Method@#The research was carried out using a targeted sampling method from the cases where colonoscopy was performed between 2022 and 2023, based on the Center for Imaging Diagnostics and Pathology of Third General Hospital of Mongolia with a colon polyps less than 5mm in size should be removed using the cold snare method according to the recommendation, and polyps between 5-10 mm should be removed using the hot snare method. After polypectomy, we assessed deep mucosal lesions using the Sydney classification.@*Result@#The average age of the 81 cases included in the study was 57.9 years, and the male-female ratio was 1:1.2.149 cases (75.6%) of slightly elevated type 0-IIa according to the Paris classification, according to the morphological structure revealed by endoscopy, while 79 cases (75.6%) were tubular adenoma according to histological analysis. (38.9%), low grade dysplasia 52 (25.6%) and high grade dysplasia 3 (1.5%) cases are noteworthy. Average polyp was 5-9 mm. Most of polyps removed was left side of colon especially in sigmoid colon. Bleeding rate was higher in hot snare method 11.5%. (1/149, 0.7%, 5/52, 9.6%; P = 0.6). There was no recurrent rate and no perforation in our study. @*Conclusions@#In our study, average size of 5-9 mm were removed and slightly elevated (0-IIa), sessile (0-Is) type of polyps were commonly found in the sigmoid colon. There is a higher risk of bleeding due to mucosal damage in hot snare polypectomy. A combination of hot and cold methods is equally effective for resection of colon pollyps up to 1 cm in size.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of cold snare polypectomy (CSP) and hot snare polypectomy (HSP) for the removal of colorectal polyps of 10-15 mm.Methods:A total of 173 polyps of 154 patients with at least one polyp of 10-15 mm were resected under colonoscopy from December 2019 to December 2020. Based on Paris classification, the polyps were divided into Ⅰsp, Ⅰs and Ⅱa. According to random number table, the polyps were randomly divided into CSP group ( n=85) and HSP group ( n=88). The polyp size, location, morphology, histological classification, complete resection rate, incidence of complications, resection time and the number of prophylactic clips were compared between the two groups. Results:There were no significant differences in age, sex, indication of colonoscopy or the success rate of intubation at the end of ileum between the two groups. The polyps of the two groups were comparable in size, position, morphology and histological classification. There were no significant differences in the complete resection rate of polyps, rates of intraoperative bleeding and postoperative bleeding or perforation between the CSP group and the HSP group. The operation time in CSP group was significantly shorter than that in HSP group (63.5 ±23.6 s VS 184.3 ±62.4 s, P<0.05). The number of prophylactic clips used in CSP group was significantly less than that in HSP group (0.8±0.5 VS 1.4±0.7, P<0.05). Conclusion:CSP shows similar complete resection rate and complication incidence, and requires shorter operation time and fewer prophylactic clips, compared with HSP, in the resection of colorectal sessile polyps of 10-15 mm.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the value of esophageal activity examination under X-ray fluoroscopy and chest CT in evaluating the resectability of upper thoracic esophageal cancer. Methods A total of 221 upper thoracic esophageal carcinoma patients underwent radical operation between 2009 and 2015 in our hospital were enrolled, including 141 males and 80 females with a median age of 59 (47-79) years. Preoperative routine esophageal activity examination under X-ray fluoroscopy and chest enhanced CT were performed to determine whether the tumor had external invasion. The results of the two methods were compared with that observed during the operation. Results The number of patients with esophageal activity score 1-6 was 70, 85, 32, 29, 2 and 3, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of esophageal activity examination was 0.897 (95%CI 0.85-0.93, P<0.001), and the cut off value was >3. According to the ROC curve activity score, 4-6 points were considered as invasion, and 1-3 points were non-invasion. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and misdiagnosis rate of esophageal activity examination was 75.0%, 89.3%, 88.2%, 10.7%, respectively, and those of CT scan were 75.0%, 66.8%, 67.4%, 33.2%, respectively. Compared with CT scan, the specificity of esophageal activity examination was higher and the misdiagnosis rate was lower. Compared with the detection during the operation, 86.7% of patients with actual invasion of trachea and 85.7% of patients with actual invasion of other parts were in accordance with the esophageal activity examination results. Conclusion Esophageal activity examination under X-ray fluoroscopy can accurately predict the resectability of upper thoracic esophageal cancer, which is a useful supplement to chest CT examination, especially in the aspect of judging the relationship between lesions and the trachea.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the relationship between the operative strategies and clinical outcomes of type Ⅲ and Ⅳ hilar chol-angiocarcinomas(HCs).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and long-term outcomes for 50 cases of type Ⅲ and Ⅳ HC that underwent surgery at the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital.Results:Fifty patients were followed up and the median follow-up duration was 27 months.The hilar limited hepatectomy group included 13 cases;the median disease-free survival was 6 months,and 1-and 2-year disease-free survival rates were 30.8% and 23.1%,respectively.The median overall survival was 20 months, and the 1-and 2-year overall survival rates were 76.9% and 38.5%,respectively.The extended hepatectomy group included 37 cases;the median disease-free survival was 14 months,and 1-and 2-year disease-free survival rates were 59.5% and 32.4%,respectively.The median overall survival was 37 months,and the 1-and 2-year overall survival rates were 83.8% and 51.4%,respectively.Compared with the hilar limited hepatectomy group,the extended hepatectomy group had significantly longer median disease-free and overall survival(P<0.05).The 1-and 2-year disease-free and overall survival rates were higher for the extended hepatectomy group.There was no significant difference in morbidity and mortality between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions:Extended hepatectomy is a safe operation that delays recurrence at early time points and improves the prognosis for patients with type Ⅲ and Ⅳ HC.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application value and evaluate the safety of ESD in treatment of early colorectal cancer. Methods The clinical data of patients with early colorectal cancer admitted from May 2014 to May 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different operation methods, the patients were divided into EMR group and ESD group. The changes of clinical efficacy, safety and inflammatory index level were compared between the two groups. Results 126 patients were involved in the study. The operative time was longer than that of the lesion diameter < 2 cm (P < 0.05) when the lesion diameter was more than 2 cm. The operative time of ESD group was longer than that of EMR group. The resection rate and complete resection rate of lesion were higher than that of EMR group (P < 0.05). When the diameter of lesion was ≥ 2 cm, the operation time of ESD group was longer than that of EMR group. In EMR group, the whole and complete resection rate were lower than that in the diameter less than 2 cm (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of TNF- α IL-6 and CD3+and CD4+between the two groups before operation (P > 0.05), but one week after operation, the levels of CRP, TNF- α and IL-6 was lower than that of EMR group (P < 0.05), while the levels of CD3+and CD4+were higher (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence and recurrence rate of anastomotic leakage (P > 0.05). The incidence of hemorrhage in ESD group was higher than that in EMR group (P < 0.05). Conclusion ESD was effective in treatment of early colorectal cancer. The stress response was small and the recurrence rate was low, but the bleeding rate was higher than that in EMR group, so the monitoring should be strengthened.

ABSTRACT
TURP is one of the common operations in the urologic field, and it has been well shown as a golden standard treatment modality for the patients with the BPH. Nevertheless, there was no available objective index to determine effective amount of the prostate resection. Therefore, we reviewed and evaluated the charts of 119 BPH patients more than 15 in modified Boyarsky symptom score evaluation, and who have undergone TURP from 1992 to June 1994. In addition, we excluded the cases associated with the other disease, such as neurogenic bladder, urethral stricture, or prostatic carcinoma. The volume of prostate was calculated by using of TRUS and ellipsoid formula. The maximal flow rate(MFR) was evaluated mostly on 5th post-operative volume of the day. We defined the resection rate(R.R) as the rate of the resected weight to the volume of the prostate. The results were as follows. 1. The mean resection rate of the prostate was 42.1%. 2. The average of the post-operative MFR was 20.52ml/sec. 3. The relevance between the RR and the post-operative MFR was not shown herein. 4. Distribution of the patients by the postoperative modified Boyarsky symptom score was different according to the resection rate. Statistically significant difference of the postoperative modified Boyarsky symptom score was shown between the greater than 30% resection group 1ess than 30% resection group(P=<0.05) 5. The post-operative modified Boyarsky symptom score could be predicted by the equation induced through the regression analysis. Symptom score = 5.28 - (0.04'RR) Our results suggest that resection rate of 30% is the marginal rate for the desirable voiding improvement, and, if it is practicable, the resection of more than 30% is favorable for all patients with BPH.

Objective To evaluate the effect of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) before operation, including side effects and the improvment for the suceesfult resection rate.Methods 56 patients with cardiac cancer were divided into two groups: TACE group and resection group. The former included 25 patients (male 14, female 11) undertaken TACE 7-15 days before surgery. The image manifestations, histological changes and side effects together with the time of operation, volume of blood lose during operation and the succesful resection rate were compared with those of the latter. Results 1. TACE induced the necrosis of tumor tissue to some extent and possessed the power to localize the lesion with little side effects. 2. TACE before resection did not only minimize the injury of operation but also improved the resection rate. Conclusion TACE is a safe, effective modality before operation and is worthy for recommendation
