【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of Tob mRNA in human colorectal cancer tissues, and their corresponding paracancerous normal tissues which was 10 cm above the tumor and pathologically proved and to explore the role of Tob mRNA in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. MethodsQuantitative real time RTPCR was used to detect the expression of Tob mRNA in 31 colorectal cancers. ResultsCompared with paracancerous tissue, the expression of Tob mRNA in colorectal cancer tissues was significantly increased. Moreover, the expression levels of Tob in Dukes A, B, C, D were 1.146±0.067, 1.120±0.073, 1.052±0.020 and 1.047±0.010 respectively. Analyzed by oneway ANOVA, there were significant differences in expression of Tob in different Dukes stage. ConclusionThe upregulation expression of Tob mRNA may be closely associated with tumorigenesis of colorectal carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo summarizes the mechanisms of carcinogenesis of colorectal cells, the occurrence and development of cancer cells, and their interactions with the tumor niche of colorectal cancer (CRC) from the perspective of the tumor niche, exploring new ideas for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of CRC. MethodThe relevant literature at home and abroad in recent years on the researches of mechanism of the occurrence and development of CRC and its relation with the tumor niche of CRC was searched and reviewed. ResultsThe theory of tumor ecology indicates that the human normal body can be regarded as a relatively closed and perfect ecosystem. Each normal tissue and organ within the body represent a niche in this ecosystem, which interact, affect, and symbiotically coexist with each other, forming a dynamic ecological balance. Tumor cells, being a “new species” distinct from normal tissue cells, “invade” the ecological system of the normal body under specific conditions and interact with the surrounding microenvironment, which is defined as the tumor niche. Analysis of current literature retrieved from the perspective of the tumor niche suggested that, although genetic factors are involved in the carcinogenesis of colorectal cells, the majority of such carcinogenesis stems from the continuous stimulation of the colorectal niche. Current research primarily focuses on the conclusion that the carcinogenesis of colorectal cells is associated with factors such as chronic inflammatory response, intestinal microorganisms, oxidative stress, and pyroptosis. After carcinogenesis and the eventual formation of CRC, the growth of cancer cells and tissues first requires breaching the defense of the immune system in the colorectal niche. Immune cells in the immune system play a crucial role in the tumor niche during the occurrence and development of CRC. ConclusionsThe proposal of the tumor niche concept enables researchers, when studying the mechanisms of tumor occurrence and development, to no longer merely focus on the tumor and its microenvironment. Instead, the tumor as a part of the body’s ecosystem was studied. Components of the tumor niche, such as chronic inflammatory responses, intestinal microorganisms, oxidative stress, pyroptosis, and immune system, have a significant impact on the mechanisms of carcinogenesis of most colorectal cells, as well as the occurrence and development of cancer cells. These factors influence the progression of CRC in various aspects.
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of serum soluble CD26 （sCD26） on the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Methods The serum sCD26 concentration of 59 colorectal cancer patients, 51 colorectal benign disease patients, and 41 healthy volunteers were detected by ELISA. The diagnostic efficiency of sCD26 and carcinoma embryonic antigen （CEA） was assessed by receiver operating characteristics （ROC） analysis. The association between sCD26 and colorectal cancer was assessed by logistic regression which included CEA in the model. Results Increased serum sCD26 was observed in colorectal cancer patients （P＜0.01）, but the differences of sCD26 in different Dukes stages were not statistic significance （P=0.78）. The area under cure （AUC） of sCD26 confirmed by ROC analysis was 0.72 〔95% confidence interval （CI）：0.63-0.82, P＜0.01〕. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for sCD26 at 526 μg/L, the optimal diagnostic threshold, were 0.59 （95% CI： 0.48-0.72） and 0.80 （95% CI： 0.67-0.90）, respectively. Positive serum sCD26 was associated with colorectal cancer after adjusted for CEA with odds ration （OR） 5.17 （95% CI：1.72-15.53, P＜0.01）, as confirmed by logistic regression. Increased positive rate of serum sCD26 was observed in patients at Dukes A stage （P=0.03）, but not Dukes B, C, and D stage （P＜0.05）. Conclusions Serum sCD26 has high diagnostic performance for colorectal cancer. The association of sCD26 is independent of serum CEA. Compared to serum CEA, sCD26 has more potential to be an early biomarker for colorectal cancer diagnosis.
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 current situation of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) application in colorectal surgery in China, and summarize the existing problems.MethodsAfter the questionnaire was developed, members of the Chinese Society of Colorectal Cancer were selected as respondents and results were collected by online questionnaire. All the respondents volunteered to visit the homepage of the questionnaire through the link address. After completing the questionnaire, they were saved and submitted.ResultsA total of 120 questionnaires were sent out and finally 107 respondents completed the electronic questionnaire survey. Among them, 73 (68.2%) routinely carried out ERAS programmes and 34 (31.8%) didn’t carry out ERAS programmes. Among the 11 ERAS programmes, most surgeons carried out 3–7 ERAS programmes, among which 4 ERAS programmes was the most (25 surgeons, 23.4%). The survey results for different ERAS programmes showed that only 4 out of 11 ERAS programmes had implemented more than half of the respondents. Respondents with older than 45 years old were more inclined not to undergo mechanical bowel preparation before surgery (P<0.001) and were more likely early postoperative oral intake (P=0.008), respondents with more than 1 000 hospital beds were more likely to select preoperative oral carbohydrate (P=0.012) and postoperative multimodal analgesia (P<0.001), respondents with more than 200 cases of colorectal surgery per year were more inclinedto take oral carbohydrate before surgery (P=0.018), and respondents whose rate of minimally invasive surgery was higher than 50% were more inclined to choose multimode analgesia (P=0.047). On the contrary, the respondents in the tumor hospitals recommended shortening the length of postoperative hospital stay and recommending early discharge (P=0.014). Hospitals that routinely performed ERAS (P<0.001), preoperative oral carbohydrate (P<0.001), without preoperative gastric tube (P=0.019), early postoperative drinking water (P=0.012), and early postoperative oral feeding (P=0.038) were associated with a shorter average postoperative hospital stay.ConclusionERAS has not been popularized in the field of colorectal surgery in China, and there are differences between different doctors and between different hospitals, which still need to be promoted continuously.
ObjectiveTo understand the related factors and prevention and treatment of anastomotic leakage after colorectal cancer operation.MethodThe literatures on the studies of colorectal anastomotic leakage in recent years were reviewed and analyzed.ResultsThe occurrence of postoperative anastomotic leakage of colorectal cancer was usually related to many factors, besides the patients’ nutritional status, body mass index, gender, smoking and drinking history, preoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, etc., as well as the distance between the anastomotic stoma and the anal margin and the ligation of the left colonic artery. The monitors of albumin, prealbumin, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and other indicators might be better for early prediction of anastomotic leakage. The use of oral antibiotics while mechanical bowel preparation, intraoperative ICG fluorescence angiography, single-layer intestinal anastomosis, reducing the number of staplers, preserving the left colon artery, placing drainage tube through anus, and minimally invasive colorectal cancer resection might have some advantages in reducing the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage.ConclusionsAs a surgeon, risk factors associated with anastomotic leakage should be fully understood. It is of great significance to use related markers to identify early anastomotic leakage and timely intervene, and use of more accurate surgical procedures to reduce occurrence of anastomotic leakage.
Cytogenetic study of 18 colorectal carcinomas confirmed the extensive heterogeneity and the complexity of the karyotypic picture in this tumor.Karyotypic analysis showed that chromosomes 7 and 3 were of the highest chromosomal gaining frequencies(72%,66%) and chromosomal losses were shown in chromosome 17(50%),chromosome5(44%) and chromosome 18(33%).The structual rearrangements frequently involved were 17p(78%),5q(61%),6q,7q,8p,12q,2p,etc.A great number of marker chromosomes and polyploid chromosomes had bad prognosis relatively.According to these results,we conclude that chromosomes 17,5,and 18 may play an important role in the evolution of colorectal cancer.
