Relationship between body mass index and short-term postoperative prognosis in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery

BACKGROUND Obesity is a state in which excess heat is converted into excess fat,which accumulates in the body and may cause damage to multiple organs of the circulatory,endocrine,and digestive systems.Studies have shown that the accumulation of abdominal fat and mesenteric fat hypertrophy in patients with obesity makes laparoscopic surgery highly difficult,which is not conducive to operation and affects patient prognosis.However,there is still controversy regarding these conclusions.AIM To explore the relationship between body mass index(BMI)and short-term prognosis after surgery for colorectal cancer.METHODS PubMed,Embase,Ovid,Web of Science,CNKI,and China Biology Medicine Disc databases were searched to obtain relevant articles on this topic.After the articles were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the risk of literature bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale,the prognostic indicators were combined and analyzed.RESULTS A total of 16 articles were included for quantitative analysis,and 15588 patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery were included in the study,including 3775 patients with obesity and 11813 patients without obesity.Among them,12 articles used BMI≥30 kg/m^(2)and 4 articles used BMI≥25 kg/m^(2)for the definition of obesity.Four patients underwent robotic colorectal surgery,whereas 12 underwent conventional laparoscopic colorectal resection.The quality of the literature was good.Meta-combined analysis showed that the overall complication rate of patients with obesity after surgery was higher than that of patients without obesity[OR=1.35,95%CI:1.23-1.48,Z=6.25,P<0.0001].The incidence of anastomotic leak after surgery in patients with obesity was not significantly different from that in patients without obesity[OR=0.99,95%CI:0.70-1.41),Z=-0.06,P=0.956].The incidence of surgical site infection(SSI)after surgery in patients with obesity was higher than that in patients without obesity[OR=1.43,95%CI:1.16-1.78,Z=3.31,P<0.001].The incidence of reoperation in patients with obesity after surgery was higher than that in patients without obesity;however,the difference was not statistically significant[OR=1.15,95%CI:0.92-1.45,Z=1.23,P=0.23];Patients with obesity had lower mortality after surgery than patients without obesity;however,the difference was not statistically significant[OR=0.61,95%CI:0.35-1.06,Z=-1.75,P=0.08].Subgroup analysis revealed that the geographical location of the institute was one of the sources of heterogeneity.Robot-assisted surgery was not significantly different from traditional laparoscopic resection in terms of the incidence of complications.CONCLUSION Obesity increases the overall complication and SSI rates of patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery but has no influence on the incidence of anastomotic leak,reoperation rate,and short-term mortality rate.

Analysis of clinical and pathological features of ciliary body medulloepithelioma

AIM:To analyze and summarize the clinical and pathological features of ciliary body medulloepithelioma.METHODS:The clinical and pathological data of 11 patients(11 eyes) who were diagnosed with ciliary body medulloepithelioma at Beijing Tongren Hospital,Capital Medical University,from 2007 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS:The initial symptoms of 11 patients included vision loss(6 eyes),atrophia bulbi(1 eye),proptosis(2 eyes),and leukocoria(2 eyes).Most patients suffered with corneal opacity,anterior chamber flare and hyphema.Iris neovascularization and synechia,complicated cataract,and secondar y glaucoma occurred in several cases.Three patients even had lens subluxation and retinal detachment.B-scan ultrasonography showed vitreous opacity and a medium-high uneven echo mass in the eyeball.Ultrasound biomicroscopy examination showed a spherical or hemispherical ciliary body mass with uneven internal echoes and irregular cystic spaces.All of the 11 patients were diagnosed with malignant ciliary body medulloepithelioma by pathological evidence.In this study,6 patients had enucleation(2 patients had systemic chemotherapy after surgery),and the other 5 patients had local tumor resection(1 patient had plaque radiotherapy after surgery).CONCLUSION:Ciliary body medulloepithelioma is a rare intraocular tumor and may be easily confused with retinoblastoma.Analyzing the clinical and pathological features of ciliary body medulloepithelioma is useful to further understand ciliary body medulloepithelioma,and can make an accurate diagnosis and better treatment.

Nasal congestion caused by long-term retention of a nasal foreign body near the orbit:A case report

BACKGROUND Nasal trauma presents a risk of foreign body invasion into the nasal cavity.However,in the early treatment stage of nasal trauma,patients and doctors are not always aware of possible foreign body invasion,resulting in delayed detection.We describe the case of an adult patient admitted to the hospital due to left nasal congestion accompanied by yellow,purulent,and bloody discharge.CASE SUMMARY Consultation with the patient revealed a history of nasal trauma 30 years prior that did not receive thorough examinations and imaging during treatment,resulting in a glass fragment retained in the nasal cavity adjacent to the orbit.After admission,computerized tomography(CT)confirmed the presence of the foreign body in the patient’s left nasal–maxillary sinus.The nasal foreign body led to symptoms such as chronic sinusitis,nasal polyps,fungal infection,and deviated nasal septum.The foreign body was successfully removed by nasal endoscopy,polypectomy,sinus fungal removal,left middle turbinate conchoplasty,fenestration via the right inferior meatus,nasal endoscopic maxillary sinus cystectomy,and septolplasty.The operation was successful and without any complications.CONCLUSION CT scans should be performed in addition to necessary debridement sutures to avoid possible foreign body invasion during nasal trauma.Surgical planning should be tailored to the patient’s specific situation.The surgical method should be carefully selected,and sufficient preparation should be undertaken before the surgery to avoid possible displacement of the nasal foreign body.

Case Report:Adenoma of nonpigmented epithelium in ciliary body:literature review and case report

Adenomas of the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium (NPCE) are often clinically indistinguishable from amelanotic malignant melanomas of the ciliary body or metastatic carcinomas. This paper reports a case study of a distinctive variant of adenoma of the NPCE, which clinically appears as epiretinal membrane in the macular region. Histopathologic studies have revealed this is an adenoma of the NPCE. Identification of this clinic feature is important because it will miss the diagnosis of the adenoma of the NPCE. In this case study, B-scan ultrasonography as well as computerized tomography (CT) has been used to provide help in diagnosing the ciliary body tumor. Because of their anterior location in the ciliary body, partial lamellar sclerou-vectomy is an effective method of treatment.

Ultrasound biomicroscopic imaging demonstrate thinner ciliary body thickness in eyes with angle closure

·AIM:To compare the ciliary body thickness between eyes with primary angle closure(PAC)and primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG)with the normal eyes,and to investigate the association between ciliary body thickness and ciliary processes situation.·METHODS:In this cross-sectional study,57 patients with PAC/PACG were matched to 57 normal subjects after propensity score matching(PSM)adjusting for age and gender.All subjects underwent conventional ocular examinations and ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM)examination,among which the patients with PAC/PACG performed the examinations one month after laser peripheral iridotomy(LPI).Quantitative parameters were measured,which included ciliary body thickness at the position of 1 mm posterior to the scleral spur(CBT1),trabecular-ciliary process distance(TCPD)and trabecularciliary process angle(TCA).·RESULTS:Eyes with PAC/PACG presented significantly thinner CBT1,shorter TCPD and smaller TCA(P<0.001)than the normal eyes,both in comparison of the means of four quadrants and in comparisons of each quadrant.After removing images with peripheral anterior synechia(PAS),the same results were also found in comparisons between the two groups.Significant correlations were found between TCPD(R~2=0.537,P<0.001)and TCA(R~2=0.517,P<0.001)with CBT1.·CONCLUSION:Eyes with PAC/PACG have thinner ciliary body thickness and more anteriorly situated ciliary processes.Thinner ciliary body thickness is associated with anterior situation of the ciliary processes.

Immunohistochemical Studies of Macrophages and MHC Class Ⅱ -positive Cells in the Iris and Ciliary Body of Lewis Rats

Purpose:To investigate the density, distribution and morphology of macrophages and MHC class II -positive dendritic cells in the iris and ciliary body of lewis rats. Methods:Immunohistochemistry was performed using monoclonal antibodies specific to monocytes and macrophages (ED1,ED2) and MHC class II -positive cells (OX6) on wholemounts of the iris-ciliary body complex isolated form normal lewis rats.Results:A well developed network of macrophages was present in the iris and ciliary body of normal lewis rats. These cells, morphologically displaying dendriti-form or pleiomorphic appearance, were more densely arranged in mid-iris (950 + 189 cells/mm2) than in iris base (482 ± 78 cells/mm2) and pupil margin (595 ± 92 cells/mm2). A similar network of MHC class II -positive cells with a cell density 452 ± 78 cells/mm2 was almost uniformly distributed in the iris of normal lewis rats.Conclusions : A network of macrophages and MHC class II -positive cells was established in the iris and ciliary body of

Body Image and Personality in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery: A Case-Control Study

Introduction: The amount of research on the relationship between plastic surgery and psychological features, such as personality disorders and indexes of body image dissatisfaction, has increased significantly in the last years. Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine these psychological features among Italian patients who underwent aesthetic plastic surgery, testing the mediating role of the mass media influence on the relationship between them and the choice of aesthetic plastic surgery. The Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire 4+ (PDQ-4+) and the Body Uneasiness Test (BUT) were administered to patients who underwent aesthetic plastic surgery (N = 111) and participants who had no history of aesthetic plastic surgical procedures (N = 149). Results: Results showed that aesthetic patients reported higher indexes of body image disturbance than controls. No significant differences between aesthetic participants and controls were found in all three cluster B personality disorders. Moreover, the effect of body image dissatisfaction on the choice to undergo aesthetic plastic surgery was partially mediated by the influence of mass media. Conclusions: In conclusion, the present study confirmed the importance of body dissatisfaction as a predictor of the choice to undergo aesthetic surgery and highlighted the influence of media messages regarding physical appearance.

Lymphocyte infiltration and activation in iris-ciliary body and anterior chamber of mice in corneal allograft rejection

AIM: To investigate the infiltration and activation of lymphocyte in iris-ciliary body and anterior chamber after allogenic penetrating keratoplasty (PK), for further revealing the role of iris-ciliary body in corneal allograft immune rejection. METHODS: In the mice models of PK, BALB/C mice received orthotopic isografts (n =35) or C57BL/6 donor allografts (n=25). Grafts were examined daily for 3 weeks by slit-lamp microscopy and scored for opacity. The infiltration of CD4(+) T lymphocyte in iris-ciliary body and anterior chamber was examined by immunohistology and the mRNA of CD80 and CD86 in both cornea graft and iris-ciliary body by RT-PCR was analyzed in allograft recipient at days 3, 6, 10 and the day when graft rejection occurred. Isograft recipients were examined as control at the corresponding time points. Transmission electron microscope was used to study the ultrastructure, especially cell infiltration, of iris-cilary body and corneal graft at day 3, 7 and the day when rejection occurred after allogenic PK. RESULTS: Rejection was observed in all the allograft recipients followed more than 10 days, at a median time of 15 days (range 12-18 days), but not in any of isografts. CD4(+) T cells were first detected at day 6 after transplantation in limbus and Ciliary body, and then in the stroma of recipient, iris, anterior chamber and corneal allograft with an increased number until graft rejection occurred. CD80 and CD86 mRNA were detected under RT-PCR examination in both graft and iris-ciliary body of allograft recipient, but not in any of isograft recipient. Three days after operation, lymphocytes and monocytes macrophages were visible in iris blood vessels and the anterior chamber, and vascular endothelial cell proliferation and activation were significant under transmission electron microscopy examination. At day 7, corneal endothelial cells became thinner. Lymphocytes and mononuclear macrophages were found with great number in the anterior chamber and adhered to the corneal endothelium. Blood vessels in iris increased and were filled with lymphocytes. And lymphocytes were detected to migrate through endothelial cell gap out of vessels. When allograft rejection occurred, macrophages attached to endothelial cells with large number of lymphocytes and macrophages infiltrating in iris. CONCLUSION: Lymphocyte infiltration and activation occurred in iris-ciliary body after allogenic PK, and the lymphocytes could migrate from iris blood vessel to the anterior chamber, which might play an important role in corneal allograft immune rejection.

Immunohistochemical studies showed positive for SMA and Desmin and negative for S100 and HMB-45. Conclusions:Angioleiomyoma of the ciliary body is a rare tumor that can be successfully treated with local surgical resection in this area. It needs to be differentiated from other tumors, especially malignant melanoma. Eye Science 2004;20:19-22.

Prejunctional 5-HT Receptors Enhance Cholinergic Neurosecretion in the Rabbit and Human Iris-ciliary Body

Purpose: To characterize prejunctional 5-HT heteroreceptors which modulate nacetylcholine (3 H-ACh release) in isolated rabbit and human iris-ciliary bodies (ICBS) . Methods: ICB tissue segments were incubated with H-choline, superfused and electrically stimulated four times (S1,S2,S3,S4) at 3 - 10 Hz for 1 min to elicit 3H-ACh. secretion. Test agents (5-HT agonists and antagonists) were added before S2,S3 and S4 and their effects determined by the stimulation ratio (Sx/S1) of evoked 3H-ACh. release. 3H-ACh in super-fusate fractions was fractionated and quantified by ion exchange chromatography. Results: In rabbit ICBs, evoked 3H-ACh. release was enhanced in a concentration-dependent manner by 5-HT (10- 9 - 10-5 M, EC50 = 5.8× 10-8 M). The maximum effect of 5-HT (10-6M) corresponded to a 45. 14 ± 7.40%) (n = 6) increase in 3H-ACh release. Higher concentrations of 5-HT ( > 10- M) induced desensitization. The response to 5-HT ( 10-6 M) in the presence of the 5-HT3/4 antagonist tropisetron (10-9 M) ,

Patients Body Modeling:A Practical Theoretical Experience in Plastic Surgery

This research is an active pedagogical experience with surgeons who are specialized in reconstructive plastic surgery and nursing. The guiding questions were the statements of each Surgeon’s clients and what they think about them. Modeling the imaginary bodies of the patients and identify what they built in their minds, highlighting topics and the discussion about the practice made in clay modeling. Eight bodies were modeled, with six bodies with all the senses and two incomplete bodies with only the regions of the breasts and buttocks. It was concluded that there are diverse issues emerging such as gender, ethics, care, spirituality and dream as the fulfillment of the wishes of the patients. Where in the body can these surgeons act to improve the patients’ physical and quality of life? There is an important theme when we are generally welcoming women into an anamnesis that considers their body as a whole, but what is their expectation for each patient? This paper showed the importance of the preoperative evaluation of this whole, for the indication of repairs or contraindications of procedures that aim to improve the physical of the patients, with possible bodily surgical modifications as a form of modeling through liposuction, grafting or excision with lipectomy and withdrawal of excess skin to mitigate the effects of the transformations that deform the physical and end up harming the human relationship, especially women. This is a qualitative method showing the meanings of the bodies of the women represented in the modeling by the Surgeons. However, some surgeons stand out by the look of their practice, as greater sensitivity looking at the body as a whole, spiritual and emotional. They need to use their skills as surgical art and gift, to try to achieve a means, but not an end.

More than Meets the Eye: A Qualitative Investigation of the Complex Weight History Constructions of Brazilian Women Who Underwent Bariatric Surgery

Most studies on bariatric surgery identify personal factors such as“non-compliance”to lifestyle changes as the cause of weight gain and subsequent inability to lose weight.Prior qualitative studies suggest that weight loss patients have complicated relationships with both self and weight,with significant emotional and psychological implications.But how do patients themselves understand the trajectories of their weight gain as related to intrinsic versus extrinsic factors?A qualitative analysis examined the aspects involved in the construction of higher body weight from the perspectives and life experiences of Brazilian women who underwent bariatric surgery,considering that Brazil has previously been reported as a highly anti-fat society.Individual,semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirty women(15 aged 33-59 and 15 aged 63-72).Data were analyzed identifying the regular,expressive,and meaningful significance units identified through the interviews.Although it was expected that different life events were reported as crucial to the perceived aetiology of individual weight gain stories,the participants reported that the emotional aspects had more impact.The extremely high value attached to having a particular body weight negatively influenced the participants’concept of identity and harmed their interactions and understanding of what it meant to be fully loved and accepted.Most of the participants underscored the importance of food in women’s lived experiences and explanations of weight gain.Despite this somatic response being dysfunctionally directed to food,this mechanism seemed to be vital to keeping them alive and engaged in the world.Finally,the participants faced layered vulnerabilities,which decreased their opportunities to access resources aimed at better body weight management.Broad approaches that consider emotional and physical care strategies must be proposed to this population.

“医美热”何以持续?——医美实践中的逻辑依赖与社会学反思

既有研究关注“医美热”背后的结构性因素,但难以回答“医美热”何以持续的理论问题。为此,文章采用希林“肉身实在论”的理论框架,关注身体生成性特征与社会约束性特征之间的联系,并基于某中高档医疗美容机构的田野调查对这一问题进行探究。文章认为,借由身体实现的医美与社会结构的互构使得“医美热”不断持续。在这一过程中,散见于不同生活领域中同美貌相关的歧视性社会规则,如亲密关系领域中“郎才女貌”的婚姻标准,劳动力市场领域里的“美容溢价”,以及日常生活领域中外貌同个人发展机会的关联,使得美貌不断累积优势,并抬高个体寻求医美的意愿。而新自由主义文化下的医美实践,则借“赋权”与“自由”之名,以个体主体性的身体改造为代价,更以其他未经身体修饰的大多数人的身体贬值为代价,利用、加深并巩固了前述隐蔽的社会歧视性规则,以最大化身体修饰的效益。这或许是理解当前“医美热”争议的核心。

肥胖对下肢继发性淋巴水肿患者淋巴水肿抽吸术术中指标的影响

目的探讨肥胖对下肢继发性淋巴水肿患者淋巴水肿抽吸术术中指标的影响。方法回顾2020年1月至2023年1月首都医科大学附属北京世纪坛医院收治的行淋巴水肿抽吸术的152例妇科恶性肿瘤根治术相关单下肢继发性淋巴水肿患者的病历资料,按照体重指数分为肥胖组(体重指数≥28 kg/m^(2),66例)和非肥胖组(体重指数<28 kg/m^(2),86例),分析2组患者的临床和手术资料,并采用多元线性回归方法分析影响术中出血量的因素。结果2组患者年龄、反映患肢肿胀程度的指标相对度量系数差异均无统计学意义(均P>0.05)。肥胖组体重指数、手术时间、注入膨胀液量、吸出脂肪悬浊液量、吸脂量、术中出血量大于/长于/多于非肥胖组[(30.8±2.3)kg/m^(2)比(24.6±2.1)kg/m^(2)、(173±41)min比(158±31)min、(4591±1408)ml比(4177±1028)ml、(7310±2580)ml比(5943±1441)ml、(3497±1195)ml比(2961±1021)ml、(574±260)ml比(428±158)ml],差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。多元线性回归分析发现体重指数(B值=13.065,95%置信区间:4.296~21.834,P=0.004)以及吸出脂肪悬浊液量(B值=0.056,95%置信区间:0.028~0.085,P<0.001)是影响术中出血量的因素。结论肥胖患者淋巴水肿抽吸术的出血量、吸脂量明显多于非肥胖患者。高体重指数是影响术中出血量的因素之一。
