Objectives To observe the expression of CCL1/CCR8 mRNA in murine lung tissue of bronchial asthma and effects of glucocorticoids on their expression. Methods Thirthy healthy mice were randomly divided into a control group, an asthma group, and a dexamethasone group, with 10 mice in each group. The sensitized murine asthma model was induced by ovalbumin sensitization and challenge, and the dexamethasone group were peritoneally injected with dexamethasone( 2 mg/ kg) . Total and differential cell counts in BALF were measured. IL-4 Level in BALF was evaluated by ELISA. The expression of CCL1 and CCR8 mRNA in the lungs were measured by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results The percentage of eosinophils, lymphocyte and IL-4 level in the asthma group increased significantly compared with the controlgroup, and which in the dexamethasone group decreased significantly compared with the asthma group and still higher than the control group( all P lt; 0. 01) . The expression of CCL1 and CCR8 mRNA had the same tendency ( all P lt;0. 01) . Conclusions The gene expression of CCL1/CCR8 is up-regulated in allergic asthma mice.Glucocorticoids can relieve airway inflammation of asthma probably by inhibiting CCL1/CCR8 expression.
ObjectiveBased on the current version of Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA), we aimed to analyze the comorbidities and preoperative physical status of colorectal cancer patients.MethodsThe DACCA version selected for this data analysis was updated on May 9, 2019. The data items included: surgical comorbidities and classified by systems, surgical history, pelvic disease history, medical comorbidities, and some important subdivision types, infectious disease status, allergic history, nutrition risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) score, amount of weight loss after illness, anemia, low protein status, preoperative ascites status, preoperative pleural effusion status, immune system disease and immunocompromised status, and preoperative nutritional support. Characteristic analysis was performed on each selected data item.ResultsA total of 6 166 admitted data were filtered from the DACCA database. Among them, surgical comorbidities, surgical history, medical comorbidities, and allergy history had 6 166 admitted data, and weight loss had admitted 4 703. There were 2 923 (47.4%) with surgical comorbidities. According to the system, the most common one was digestive system (2 005, 68.6%), and the least one was skin tissue system (24, 0.8%). There were 4 361 (70.7%) patients without surgical history and 1 805 (29.3%) patients had surgical history. There were 2 397 (38.9%) patients without medical comorbidities and 3 769 (61.1%) had medical comorbidities, of which pneumonia/pulmonary infection/chronic bronchopneumonia/lung indeterminate nodules were the most common(2 330, 37.8%), the least was cerebral infarction (unspecified type, 63, 1.0%). There were 5 813 (94.3%) without allergy history and 353 (5.7%) had allergy history. According to the NRS2002 nutrition screening criteria, the scores ranged from 1 to 7 points, with an average of 1.22 points, which could be classified as non-nutrition risk (5 279, 85.6%, included 1 point of 4 310, 2 points of 969), nutritional risk (887, 14.4%, included 3 points of 415, 4 points of 358, 5 points of 100, 6 points of 12, and 7 points of 2), the result of linear regression analysis of NRS2002 scores with the trend of the year showed that: ŷ=0.000 2x–6.275 8, R2=0.716 2, P<0.001. A total of 2 840 (60.4%) had no weight loss while 1 863 (39.6%) had, and weight loss with the trend of year were analyzed by linear regression analysis: ŷ=0.000 2x–3.956, R2=0.685 7, P<0.001. The number of cases of other physical status and the proportion of valid data were anemia (1 194, 33.1%), preoperative ascites (1829, 51.7%), preoperative pleural effusion (171, 5.7%), hypoproteinemia (1 206, 33.6%), immune system disease and immunocompromised status (495, 56.6%), and nutritional support (824, 25.0%).ConclusionsThrough the analysis of the DACCA database, nearly 1/2 of colorectal cancer surgery patients have surgical comorbidities before surgery, more than 1/2 of the patients have medical comorbidities, and the types of diseases are various. Preoperative nutritional status in patients with colorectal cancer also shows certain characteristics, suggesting the state of preoperative risk. These data will provide a detailed big data basis for future preoperative risk assessment of colorectal cancer.
ObjectiveTo describe the characteristics of colorectal cancer surgical procedures in the West China Colorectal Cancer Database (Database from Colorectal Cancer, DACCA).MethodWe used the form of text description.ResultsThe related content modules of DACCA operation in West China, included operative type, radical resection level, anus preservation, stoma type, the date of closure, surgical approach, expansive resection, intersphincteric resection (ISR), etc. were elaborated. The data label related method corresponding to each item in the database and the structured method required in the corresponding big data application stage were elaborated, and the error correction precautions of all classified items were described.ConclusionsIn the DACCA database, there are more detailed classification for the radical treatment of colorectal cancer. The application of expanded surgery is of great significance for both colon cancer and rectal cancer; stoma-related data has diversified data characteristics, which will provides standards and basis for clinical application of DACCA, and also provides experience reference for other colleagues who want to build colorectal cancer database.
ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics of colorectal cancer surgery in the current version of Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA).MethodsThe DACCA version selected for this data analysis was the updated version on April 16th, 2020. The data items included timing of operation, types of operative procedure, radical resection level of operation, patient’s wish of anus-reserving, types of stomy, date of stoma closure, surgical approaches, extended resection, and type of intersphincteric resection (ISR). The data item interval of stoma closure was added, and the selected data items were statistically analyzed.ResultsThe total number of medical records (data rows) that met the criteria was 11 757, including 2 729 valid data on the timing of operation (23.2%), 11 389 valid data on the types of operative procedure (96.9%), 4 255 valid data on the radical resection level of operation (36.2%), 3 803 valid data on patient’s wish of anus-reserving (32.3%), 4 377 valid data on types of stomy (37.2%), 989 valid data on date of stoma closure (8.4%), 4 418 valid data on surgical approaches (37.6%), 3 941 valid data on extended resection (33.5%), and 1 156 valid data on type of ISR (9.8%). In the timing of operation, the most cases were performed immediately after discovery or neoadjuvant completion (915, 33.5%). In types of operative procedure, ultra low anterior resection (ULAR), right hemicolectomy (RHC), and low anterior resection (LAR) were the most, including 1 986 (17.4%), 1 412 (12.4%), and 1 041 (9.1%) lines. Respectively in the colon and rectal cancer surgery, the proportion of RHC (50.0%) and ULAR (26.0%) was the highest, with 172 (26.1%) and 815 (27.9%) extended resection. In ISR surgery the majority was ISR-2 (741, 64.1%). In radical resection level of operation, the number of R0 was the largest with 2 575 (60.5%) lines. In patient’s wish of anus-reserving, positive and rational were the most with 1 811 (47.6%) and 1 440 (37.9%) lines, respectively. And in types of stomy, there were 2 628 lines (60.0%) without stoma and 1 749 cases (40.0%) with stoma, among which the most lines were right lower ileum stoma (612, 35.0%). The minimum value, maximum value, and median value of interval of stoma closure were 0 d, 2 678 d and 112 d. The linear regression prediction of date of stoma closure by year was \begin{document}${\hat {y}} $\end{document}=9.234 3x+22.394 (R2=0.2928, P=0.07). In the surgical approaches, the majority was standard with 3 182 (72.0%) lines.ConclusionsIn the DACCA, rectal cancer surgery is still the majority, and ULAR is the most type. The application of extended resection in both colon and rectal cancer has important significance. The data related to stoma are diversified and need to be further studied.

ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics of colorectal cancer surgery in the current version of Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA).MethodsThe DACCA version selected for this data analysis was the updated version on July 16th, 2020. The data items included operative duration, anatomy (anatomical difficulty), pelvis (pelvic stenosis), obesity (abdominal obesity), adhesion (adhesion in surgical area), mesentery (abnormal mesenteric status), hypertrophy (tissue hypertrophy or organ hypertrophy), intestinal quality, death (risk of death), injury (risk of tissue injury), recurrence (tumor recurrence), metastasis (tumor metastasis), anastomotic leakage (risk of anastomotic leakage), difficulty of operation, prognosis, quality of operation. The selected data items were statistically analyzed.ResultsThetotal number of medical records (data rows) that met the criteria was 6 116. Spearman correlation text showed a negative correlation between operative duration and years (rs=–0.433, P<0.001). In anatomy, pelvis, obesity, adhesion, mesentery, and hypertrophy, the most cases were “normal or basically normal”, and the percentages were 32.55%, 44.52%, 48.68%, 55.79%, 53.36%, and 57.72%, respectively. In quality of intestinal, the highest proportion was “bad” (43.25%). In risk of death, risk of tissue injury, and tumor recurrence, the most cases were “very small”, and the percentages were 69.00%, 94.41%, and 68.21%, respectively. In tumor metastasis, risk of anastomotic leakage, difficulty of operation, prognosis, and quality of operation, the highest proportion were “small” (48.58%), “average” (49.25%), “average” (32.96%), “uncertain” (45.65%), and “very good” (39.85%).ConclusionsIn the DACCA, the intestinal quality is characteristic of difficulty in operation, and in the evaluation of operation quality, the judgment of anastomotic leakage deserves much more attention. However, the relationship between the difficulty of operation and postoperative effects, and the relationship between the quality of operation and the prognosis still need to be further studied.
