Influencing factors analysis and management strategies of colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation / 中华消化外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors and management strategies of colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 358 patients who underwent colonoscopy in the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from January 2011 to March 2021 were collected. There were 216 males and 142 females, aged (59±14)years. Patients underwent colonoscopy for diagnosis or treatment. Observation indicators: (1) situations of colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation; (2) analysis of influencing factors of colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation; (3) construction of prediction model of colonoscop-associated colorectal perforation; (4) management of colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Wilcoxom rank sum test. Count data were discribed as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Multivariate ana-lysis was conducted using the binary Logistic regression model. The sensitivity and specificity of the prediction model were evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:(1) Situations of colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation. Of the 358 patients, 18 cases developed colorectal perforation, including 6 males and 12 females, with an age of 61(49,69) years. Of the 18 patients, there were 12 cases with colon perforation, including 10 cases of sigmoid colon perfora-tion or rectosigmoid junction perforation, 1 case of transverse colon perforation and 1 case of descending colon perforation, 6 cases with rectal perforation. There were 11 cases with diagnostic perforation and 7 cases with therapeutic perforation. (2) Analysis of influencing factors of colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation. Results of univariate analysis showed that gender, age, colorectal ulcer, colorectal diverticulum, colorectal tumor, history of abdominal surgery, type of colonoscopy and the experience of operating physician were related factors for colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation ( χ2=5.77, Z=?3.24, χ2=37.99, 97.34, 37.99, 10.31, 8.07, 6.73, P<0.05). Results of multi-variate analysis showed that colorectal diverticulum and abdominal surgery history were indepen-dent risk factors for colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation ( odds ratios=287.79, 6.74, 95% confidence intervals as 23.14?3 579.11, 1.19?38.27, P<0.05). Therapeutic colonoscopy was an independent protective factor for colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation ( odds ratio=0.11, 95% confidence interval as 0.23?0.52, P<0.05). (3) Construction of prediction model of colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation. With the colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation as depen-dent variable, colorectal diverticulum, abdominal surgery history and therapeutic colonoscopy as independent variables, a prediction model of colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation was constructed. The ROC of model showed that the sensitivity was 0.56, the specificity was 1.00, and the area under curve was 0.78 (95% confidence interval as 0.63?0.92, P<0.05). (4) Management of colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation. Of the 18 cases with colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation, 15 cases underwent laparoscopic perforation repair surgery immediately, 2 cases under-went endoscopic suture, and 1 case received conservative treatment. All the patients with perfora-tion were cured and discharged from hospital, without death due to colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation. Conclusions:Colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation is easy to occur at sigmoid colon or rectosigmoid junction. Colorectal diverticulum and abdominal surgery history are indepen-dent risk factors for colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation. Therapeutic enteroscopy is an independent protective factor for colonoscopy-associated colorectal perforation. Laparoscopic repair of colon perforation has good effects for patients with colorectal perforation.

A Scientific Review Of Moolam (ano Rectal Diseases)-yugi’s Version

Worldwide, the overall prevalence of an ano rectal disease in the general population is estimated to be 4.4%. The faulty dietary pattern and life style , hereditary factors are important etiological factors of this disease. As per saint Yugi Moolam is classified as 21 types based on clinical symptoms and size, shape, colour of the pile mass which includes some of the ano-rectal diseases. The diet and deeds which influences the vital humors Vatham (Intestinal peristaltic movement ) and Pitham (metabolism and absorption) of food stuffs are said to be major causative factors of this disease. As per Yugi’s version the following ano rectal diseases under Moola noi have been categorized as, Neer moolam (Inflammatory bowel disease), Aazhi moolam (strangulated haemorrhoids), Sittru moolam (adenomatous colorectal polyps), Varal moolam (colorectal non- neoplastic polyps), Seezh moolam (kaposis sarcoma), Silaethuma moolam (anal warts condyloma), Thondha moolam (rectal cancer), Vinai moolam (irritable bowel syndrome), Powthira moolam (anal fistula), Kutha moolam (rectal prolapse), Ratha moolam (internal haemorrhoids 1st degree -bleeding piles), Mega moolam (gonococcal proctitis), Vaatha moolam (interno-external hemorrhoids), Pitha moolam (prolapsed haemorrhoids), Surukku moolam (anal stenosis), Mulai moolam (sentinel pile), Savvu moolam (perianal tuberclosis). This paper focuses the scientific basis of etiology and classification of Moolam by saint Yugi.

Regional Colonic Transit Pattern Does Not Conclusively Identify Evacuation Disorders in Constipated Patients with Delayed Colonic Transit

BACKGROUND/AIMS: After exclusion of structural diseases, chronic constipation may be associated with normal or slow transit or rectal evacuation disorders. We evaluated: (1) clinical features and anorectal function, (2) difference of regional colonic transit according to the presence or absence of evacuation disorders, and (3) association of colonic transit with gender in patients with objectively slow colonic transit. METHODS: We reviewed electronic medical records of 1553 patients with constipation seen by one gastroenterologist from 1994–2015 at a tertiary medical center. We identified patients with slow colonic transit using scintigraphy. Evacuation disorders were identified on clinical examination or anorectal manometry. Colonic compliance and tone were measured in 29 patients. Statistical analysis was by the Mann-Whitney rank sum test. RESULTS: Of the 207 patients (155 females, mean age 41.3 ± 15.3 [SD] years), 113 had evacuation disorders (ED+ve) and 94 did not (ED−ve). There were no significant differences in colonic transit or gastric emptying between ED+ve or ED−ve; similarly, colonic compliance, tone and responses to neostigmine were not different in ED+ve and ED−ve. Conversely, there were significant differences by gender in patients with slow colonic transit: colonic transit, small bowel transit, and gastric emptying (all P < 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: Delayed colonic transit does not exclude evacuation disorders in chronic constipation. In chronic constipation and objectively slow colonic transit, females had slower gastric, small bowel, and colonic transit than males.

Immunofecal occult blood test predicts the prognosis of patients with chronic kidney disease / 中华肾脏病杂志

Objective To evaluate the value of immunofecal occult blood test (IFOBT) as a prognostic indicator in CKD patients with colorectal impairment.Methods A total of 176CKD patients and 180 healthy adults as control were enrolled.Serum biochemistry was measured at baseline and gastrointestinal bleeding was determined by IFOBT.All the CKD patients were followed up for 4.5 years.Renal replacement therapy or death was defined as end-point event.The Logistic regression analysis was used for risk factors.Kaplan-Meier analysis and COX regression model were used for survival analysis.Results The positive rate of IFOBT in CKD patients was significantly higher than healthy control (17％ vs 5.3％,χ2=13.236,P＜0.01).When comparing with IFOBT negitive patients,IFOBT positive patients were older [(62.030±15.544) years old vs (48.660±19.018)years old,P＜0.01],had higher ESR [(71.800±31.657) mu/h vs (57.210±32.712) mm/h,P＜0.05],C-reactive protein [6.230 (3.000～14.148) mg/L vs 3.000 (3.000～6.833)mg/L,P＜0.05],serum creatinine [419.100 (103.200～546.625) μmol/L vs 175.100 (68.150～462.950) μmol/L,P＜0.05],and had lower hemoglobin level [(97.970±20.590) g/L vs (107.170±27.988) g/L,P＜0.05] and eGFR [11.400 (8.671～53.544) ml·min1·(1.73 m2)1 vs 35.274(10.961～82.145) ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1,P＜0.01].There was a negative correlation between IFOBT value and eGFR in CKD patients (r=-0.20,P＜0.01).Positive correlations of IFOBT value with age (r=0.175,P＜0.05) and serum creatinine (r=0.171,P＜0.05) were found.Logistic regression and COX regression analysis showed that IFOBT value,eGFR and ESR were important factors that influenced the prognosis of CKD patients.Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that IFOBT value ＞100μg/L predicted progression of renal function.Conclusions The prevalence of gastrointestinal bleeding disorder is high in patients with CKD.Value of IFOBT independently predicts decline in renal function of CKD patients.
