ObjectiveTo elucidate the characteristics of colonic Crohn’s disease (CD) and evaluate effectiveness of surgical treatment.MethodClinical data of 28 cases with colonic CD who underwent surgery at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between Feb. 2009 and Jan. 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsDefinite diagnosis of colonic CD was performed in 12 cases preoperatively (42.9%), but 16 cases (57.1%) were misdiagnosed as other disease, ulcerative colitis (5 cases, 17.9%), tumor (4 cases, 14.3%), appendiceal disease (4 cases, 14.3%), and intestinal tuberculosis (3 cases, 10.7%) were the major causes of preoperative misdiagnosed disease. Of the 28 cases, elective surgery was performed in 26 cases and emergency surgery in 2 cases. The major surgical procedures were segmental colectomy(10 cases) and right hemicolectomy (6 cases), as well as ilecolostomy (9 cases), colocolostomy(6 cases), ileostomy(9 cases), colostomy (6 cases), and so on. The length of the first hospital stay of operation related to intestinal lesions in this group was 5–74 d (mean of 25.4 d). Postoperative complications were occurred in 9 cases (32.1%), all these cases didn’t receave medical treatment. Twenty cases were followed up, and the follow-up time was 7–78 months (mean of 33.4 months), 8 cases lost follow-up. The prognosis of the follow-up cases was good.ConclusionsColonic CD has occult clinical manifestation, resulting in misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Segmental resection of the colon is the important treatment for colonic CD. For patients with complications, multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment is necessary. In addition, systematic medical treatment before surgery helps to reduce the risk of the first surgery associated with intestinal lesions.
目的 探讨双吻合器法回肠储袋肛管吻合治疗溃疡性结肠炎的临床疗效。方法 回顾性分析采用双吻合器法回肠储袋肛管吻合治疗11例溃疡性结肠炎患者的临床资料。 结果 手术时间(4.5±1.7)h(2.5~6.0h), 出血量(470±120)ml (200~800ml),住院时间(16±5.9) d (14~27d)。所有患者均获随访,随访时间为(31.3±5.7)个月(6~42个月)。 随访期内肛门功能恢复满意;主要并发症包括切口相关并发症5例,腹痛伴间断便血4例,储袋炎4例,肠梗阻3例,吻合口漏1例。 结论 双吻合法回肠储袋肛管吻合是治疗溃疡性结肠炎的有效手段,合理选择手术时机及方式可有效降低术后并发症的发生。
ObjectiveTo analyze expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and microsatellite instability (MSI) in ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer (UC-CRC) and investigate role of IL-6 and MSI in carcinogenesis of patients with UC.MethodsThe postoperative pathological data of patients with UC-CRC and patients with sporadic colorectal cancer (SCRC) admitted by Edong Healthcare Group from January 2013 to January 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The expressions of MMR proteins, including hMLH1, hPMS2, hMSH2, and hMSH6, were detected by the immunohistochemical method. The serum IL-6 levels of the patients with UC, UC-CRC, SCRC and control patients (non-UC, non-UC-CRC, non-SCRC) were detected. The correlation between the IL-6 and MMR protein expression in the cancer tissue was analyzed.ResultsThere were 43 patients with UC, 17 UC-CRC, 55 SCRC, and 30 control patients. The total rate of MMR-deficient (dMMR) was 41.2% (7/17) in the patients with UC-CRC. There were significant correlations between the hMLH1 and hPMS2 protein expression deletion and between the hMSH2 and hMSH6 protein expression deletion (P<0.001). The serum level of IL-6 in the patients with UC-CRC was significantly higher than that in the patients with UC (t=4.97, P<0.001) and the patients with SCRC (t=5.26, P=0.006). The dMMR might be associated with the level of IL-6 in the patients with UC-CRC, which wasn’t associated with it in the patients with SCRC (rs=0.04, P=0.77).ConclusionsSimilar to SCRC, MSI also plays a role in occurrence and development of UC-CRC. dMMR in patient with UC-CRC is more common in co-expression deficiency of hMLH1 and hPMS2, as did hMSH2 and hMSH6. IL-6 is not involved in mechanism of MSI-related canceration of colorectal cancer, but it is speculated that IL-6 might be involved in occurrence of MSI of UC-CRC.
ObjectiveTo investigate the significance of endoscopic punctiform erosion around appendiceal orifice with diffused inflammation in left semicolon in the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. MethodsTwenty-nine patients with endoscopic punctiform erosion around appendiceal orifice with diffused inflammation in left semicolon treated in West China Hospital from January 2007 to November 2012 were included in our study.Patients with either edema,ulcer,polyps around the appendiceal orifice,inflammation in the ascending colon or transverse colon,or segmental inflammation in left semicolon were excluded.The endoscopic characteristic changes and the final diagnosis were compared by means of the pathological biopsy. ResultsOf the total 29 patients with characteristic changes under the endoscope,26 patients were eventually diagnosed to have left-sided ulcerative colitis,one was identified to be with Cronh's disease,and the remaining two patients could not be classified. ConclusionOur findings suggest that the characteristic changes under the endoscope may help the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis.
