RESUMEN
In order to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic hemorrhoids treatment, a retrospective analysis was conducted on data of 166 patients with grade I to Ⅲ hemorrhoids who underwent endoscopic treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from January 2018 to June 2020 with complete follow-up data. There were 35 cases in the simple sclerotherapy group, 104 cases in the simple ligation group, and 27 cases in the ligation combined sclerotherapy group. The results showed that, no serious complications occurred in the 3 groups after surgery. In the simple ligation group and the ligation combined with sclerotherapy group, the incidence of postoperative anal pain [35.6% (37/104) and 33.3% (9/27), respectively,] and anal pendant distension [70.2% (73/104) and 70.4% (19/27), respectively] were higher, but symptoms could be tolerated or relieved after simple treatment. The satisfaction of patients in the 3 groups was all more than 90% before discharge, and the degree of operation acceptance was more than 95%. The effective rate of the 3 groups was above 90.0% at 3 months after surgery, At 12 months after surgery, the effective rate of the simple sclerotherapy group was the lowest [74.3% (26/35)], and the effective rate of the other two groups was still above 85.0%. In conclusion, minimally invasive treatment for internal hemorrhoids under endoscopy is safe and effective with effective improvement of symptoms, high postoperative satisfaction of patients and high degree of acceptance.
RESUMEN
Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic sclerotherapy with polycinnamol solution and foam in the treatment of grade II hemorrhagic internal hemorrhoids.Methods:From September 2020 to June 2021, 81 patients with grade II hemorrhagic internal hemorrhoids were collected from the Department of Gastroenterology, the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group. The observation group was injected with polycinnamol solution, and the control group was injected with polycinnamol foam. All of them were treated with endoscopic sclerotherapy. The clinical data of the two groups were compared and analyzed. The operation time, immediate hemostasis rate, incidence of postoperative complications (such as fever, pain, bleeding and Urinary retention), recurrence and rebleeding rate of the two groups were observed, and the efficacy and safety of the two groups in the treatment of grade II hemorrhagic internal hemorrhoids were compared.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in basic data between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05), indicating comparability. The surgical operation time of the observation group patients [(7.40±1.18)min] was shorter than that of the control group [(13.88±0.95)min] ( P<0.05); The injection dose of polycinnamol [(5.79±1.61)ml] in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [(4.38±1.92)ml] ( P<0.05). The immediate postoperative hemostasis rate in the observation group was the same as that in the control group (100%). The incidence of postoperative fever (7.32%), perianal pain (4.88%), bleeding (7.32%), and urinary retention (4.88%) complications in the observation group had no significant difference from that in the control group [postoperative fever (5.00%), anal pain (7.50%), bleeding (7.50%), and urinary retention (2.50%)] (all P>0.05). Two months after surgery, the rebleeding rate in the observation group (4.88%) was not significantly different from that in the control group (7.50%) ( P>0.05), but the rebleeding score in the observation group (1.21±0.63) was lower than that in the control group (2.62±0.71), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). The rebleeding rate (2.44%) and the rebleeding score (2.33±1.51) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group [the rebleeding rate (12.50%) and the rebleeding score (5.54±2.42)] at 12 months after follow-up, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Endoscopic sclerotherapy is effective in the treatment of grade II hemorrhagic internal hemorrhoids. There is no significant difference in the immediate and short-term hemostasis rate and the incidence of complications between two different dosage forms of sclerotherapy, namely, polycinnamol solution and foam, but the operation of the solution injection is more time-saving and the long-term recurrence rate is lower, which is worthy of clinical application.
RESUMEN
From April 2017 to June 2020, 46 patients with acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB) underwent endoscopic vascular embolization (EVE) in the Department of Gastroenterology of the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China for rebleeding after endoscopic hemostasis therapy (including local drug injection, electrocoagulation, hemostatic clamp and ligation, etc.). All 46 patients immediately stopped bleeding after EVE, and the effective rate of immediate hemostasis was 100.0%. Postoperative abdominal pain occurred in 13 cases (28.3%), abdominal distension in 3 cases (6.5%) and fever in 2 cases (4.3%). The mucosa healed gradually under gastroscopy 3 and 12 months after the operation. No gastrointestinal rebleeding occurred during the follow-up. Therefore, EVE is a safe and effective method for ANVUGIB patients with failure of initial endoscopic hemostasis, which is worthy of further clinical study and application.

Objective: To investigate the nutritional status of children acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) during induced remission stage. The effects of the disease itself, treatment, and complications of malnutrition were all analyzed. Methods: From the medical re-cords of children with ALL in the pediatric hematological department of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University, we col-lected basic information of the children; monitored the height and weight of the children on the first, 15th, and 33rd days of induced remission treatment; and calculated their body mass index (BMI), as well as results of laboratory tests such as serum albumin and se-rum prealbumin. SPSS 23.0 software was used for data analysis. Results: In 40 children with ALL, there were 16 cases of malnutrition on the first day of induced remission treatment accounting for 40%, 14 cases on both the 15th day and the 33rd day of treatment ac-counting for 35%. Among children with malnutrition, 4 cases of moderate to severe malnutrition occurred on the first day of treat-ment accounting for 25.0%, 9 cases on the 15th day accounting for 64.3%, and 12 cases on the 33rd day accounting for 85.7%. Com-pared with day 1 and day 33, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.017). In the induced remission period, the BMI on the first day was (15.98±2.17) kg/m2; on the 15th day, it was (15.65±2.20) kg/m2; and on the 33rd day, it was (15.66±1.92) kg/m2. The differ-ence between the three was not statistically significant (P=0.730). In the single-factor analysis of factors related to the nutritional sta-tus of children, infection, digestive system involvement, and serum albumin levels were related to the occurrence of malnutrition, and we performed multifactor analysis of these three factors. The difference between the level of infection and serum albumin and the oc-currence of malnutrition was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions: During the induced remission, the malnutrition degree of some children with ALL was aggravated. Infection was a high-risk factor for malnutrition in children with ALL. The decrease in serum al-bumin level may indicate the occurrence of malnutrition. Dynamic monitoring of nutritional status in children with ALL is necessary.
RESUMEN
Background:Multidrug resistance of tumor cells is one of the important factors that cause failure of chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer. Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL)may enhance the killing effect of chemotherapeutics on tumor cells,and reverse drug-resistant cell lines to sensitive cell lines,but its mechanism is not yet clear. Aims:To study the effect of TRAIL on expression of multidrug resistance gene glutathione S-transferase-π(GST-π)in drug-resistant human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 / VCR and the potential mechanism of TRAIL in reversing multidrug resistance of gastric cancer cells. Methods:SGC-7901 / VCR cells were treated with TRAIL in different doses (50,100,200 and 400 μg/ L)for 48 hours. After treatment,expression of GST-π mRNA in SGC-7901 / VCR cells and concentration of GST-π in culture supernatant were detected by RT-PCR and ELISA,respectively. Results:TRAIL could inhibit mRNA expression and protein secretion of GST-π in SGC-7901 / VCR cells in a dose-dependent manner within a certain range(≤200 μg/ L). The relative expression levels of GST-π mRNA in 50,100,200 and 400 μg/ L TRAIL groups were 0. 89 ± 0. 04,0. 77 ± 0. 08,0. 65 ± 0. 06 and 0. 61 ± 0. 03,respectively,and the concentrations of GST-π in culture supernatant in these groups were(57. 56 ± 1. 19)ng/ mL,(56. 30 ± 0. 80)ng/ mL,(31. 41 ± 1. 65)ng/ mL and (30. 80 ± 1. 34)ng/ mL,respectively,all were significantly lower than those in control group[1. 01 ± 0. 13 and(58. 62 ± 1. 38)ng/ mL,P all < 0. 05]. Conclusions:TRAIL may play a potential role in reversing multidrug resistance of gastric cancer cells through down-regulating GST-π expression.
