Anal Pathologies: What Management at the Reference Health Center of Bamako’s Commune V?

Anal pathologies are conditions affecting the anal margin and the anal canal. The aim of our study was to update data on anal diseases. Non-specific, it can reveal an emergency, a serious illness, a chronic disease or a benign condition. It was a prospective, descriptive and analytical study from April 2022 to March 2023, carried out in the hepato-gastroenterology unit of the Centre de Santé de Référence de la commune V du District de Bamako in Mali. Out of seven hundred and forty-nine (749) patients seen in consultation, 98 had anal pathology, i.e. a prevalence of 13.08%. The mean age was 40 ± 15.15 years and the sex ratio was 1.5. Hemorrhoidal disease and anal fissure were the most frequent pathologies in 66.4% and 24.4% of cases respectively. Medical treatment was initiated in 91.9% of patients with hemorrhoidal disease and 91.7% with anal fissure. Anal pathologies are common in young male patients. In our context, they are dominated by benign conditions.

A comparative study of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation gymnastics on postoperative anal function of lower rectal cancer

BACKGROUND From the anal function,inflammatory response and other indicators,acupuncture combined with rehabilitation gymnastics was applied to patients with cancer undergoing low resection,aiming to improve the prognosis of patients.AIM To explore the effects of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation gymnastics on anal function after lower rectal cancer surgery.METHODS From January 2020 to December 2022,128 patients who underwent rectal cancer surgery in the Department of Oncology of Hebei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were selected and divided into two groups using the random number table method,with 64 patients in each group.Patients in the control group were not treated with acupuncture or rehabilitation gymnastics and served as blank controls.Patients in the study group were treated with acupuncture and rehabilitation gymnastics from the 7th postoperative day.The anal incontinence scores,changes in serum interleukin-4,interleukin-6,and interleukin-10 Levels,and serum motilin,5-hydroxytryptamine,and vasoactive intestinal peptide levels were compared.RESULTS There were no significant differences in serum interleukin-4,interleukin-6,and interleukin-10 Levels between the groups before treatment(P>0.05).After treatment,these levels were better than those of the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the anal incontinence scores between the groups before and 7 d after surgery(P>0.05).Anal incontinence scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group at 14 d,21 d,and 28 d postoperatively(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in serum motilin,5-hydroxytryptamine,or vasoactive intestinal peptide levels between the groups before treatment(P>0.05).After treatment,these levels were higher in the study group than in the control group,and vasoactive intestinal peptide level was lower in the study group than in the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Acupuncture combined with rehabilitation gymnastics can promote the recovery of anal function and reduce the inflammatory response in patients with lower rectal cancer after surgery.

Anal pruritus:Don’t look away

Anal pruritus is a common anorectal symptom that can significantly impair a patient’s quality of life,including their mental health.It can be one of the most difficult proctological conditions to treat.Patients often delay seeking medical attention,since it is an embarrassing but non-life-threatening situation.Pruritus ani can be associated with idiopathic and secondary causes,such as anorectal diseases,cancer(anal or colorectal),dermatological and sexually transmitted diseases,fungal infections and systemic diseases.If patients are referred for a colonoscopy,this can sometimes provide the first opportunity to evaluate the perianal area.Classifications of anal pruritus are based on the abnormalities of the perianal skin,one of the most commonly used being the Washington classi-fication.A proper digital anorectal examination is important,as well as an anoscopy to help to exclude anorectal diseases or suspicious masses.Endoscopists should be aware of the common etiologies,and classification of the perianal area abnormalities should be provided in the colonoscopy report.Information on treatment possibilities and follow-up can also be provided.The treatment normally consists of a triple approach:proper hygiene,elimination of irritants,and skin care and protection.Several topical therapies have been described as possible treatments,including steroids,capsaicin,tacrolimus and methylene blue intradermal injections.

Evaluating the clinical application and effect of acupuncture therapy in anal function rehabilitation after low-tension rectal cancer surgery

BACKGROUND According to the indexes of serum and anal function,acupuncture therapy was applied to patients with low rectal cancer in order to avoid the occurrence of anal incontinence and reduce complications.AIM To explore the clinical application and evaluate the effect of acupuncture therapy for anal function rehabilitation after low-tension rectal cancer surgery.METHODS From the anorectal surgery cases,we selected 120 patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery between January 2020 and December 2022 and randomly divided them into a control group(n=60),observation group(n=60),and control group after surgery for lifestyle intervention(including smoking cessation and exercise),dietary factor adjustment,anal movement,and oral loperamide treatment.The serum levels of motilin,5-hydroxytryptamine,and vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP),Wexner score for anal incontinence,and incidence of complications were compared between groups.RESULTS After treatment,the VIP and 5-hydroxytryptamine levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The motilin level was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Postoperative anal incontinence was better in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the observation group was 6.67%,which was significantly lower than that in the control group(21.67%;P<0.05).CONCLUSION Acupuncture therapy has a positive effect on the rehabilitation of anal function after low-tension rectal cancer surgery;it can effectively help to improve the serum indices of patients,avoid the occurrence of anal incontinence,and reduce the incidence of complications.Popularizing and applying it will be valuable.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of anal adenectomy with virtual hanging wire and anal fistulotomy in the treatment of low anal fistula in infants and children.Methods:60 children with low anal fistula who were admitted to our hospital from October 2021 to March 2022 and met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups of 30 cases each;the treatment group was treated with anal adenectomy and virtual hanging wire surgery,and the control group was treated with anal fistula resection.The clinical efficacy after treatment was compared.Results:The total effective rate of both groups was 96.67%and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The postoperative pain score of the treatment group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).The length of hospitalization and healing time of the treatment group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).The anal function of the patients in both groups was normal,and there was no adverse reaction.Conclusion:Anal gland excision and virtual hanging surgery for the treatment of low anal fistula in infants and children have the advantages of mild pain,reduced length of hospitalization,short healing time,and better patient experience as compared to anal fistula excision.

A case study illustrating the use of an integrated approach to treat secondary Anal Fistula Post I&D of Perianal Abscess

Background:Anal fistula is a long-term disease characterized by a tubular structure with one end opening in the anorectal canal and the other end opening on the surface of the perineum or perianal skin with chronic pus drainage.It is linked to Bhagandar in Ayurveda,and in Sushruta Samhita,Acharya has mentioned 5 forms of Bhagandar.The boil in the present case was Shukla,sthira i.e.hard and firm,with Picchila strava and Kandu resembling the features of Parisraavi bhagandar.Aim and objective:The current case was diagnosed as Parisravi bhagandar,which resembles trans-sphincteric or intersphincteric fistula in modern ano.In Ayurveda,the management of Parisraavi Bhagandar,Shastra,kshara,and Agnikarma is advised and the use of Ksharasutra,which contributes to complete cutting and healing of the track without reoccurrence,similarly Modern surgeon depends on surgery i.e radical excision of the track,ligation with Seton,and use of chemical irritants like urethane,silver nitrates,etc.A cutting seton(tight)gently slices the confined muscle to close the fistula with the least interruption to continence.This operation is especially advised when a one-stage fistulotomy poses a considerable risk of incontinence.Material and methods:The method performed here was Core Partial Fistulectomy followed by Ksharasutra application till complete healing of the wound.Discussion and conclusion:This case study provides the successful management of Parisraavi Bhagandara(high anal,trans-sphincteric fistula in ano)in 61-year-old male patient with an integrated surgical&Ayurvedic management approach.

Inducible expression of endomorphins in murine dendritic cells

Bone marrow precursor cells were extracted from C57BL/6J mice aged 7-8 weeks, and dendritic cells were purified using anti-CD1 lc （a specific marker for dendritic cells） antibody-coated magnetic beads. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that the expression levels of endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 were upregulated in dendritic cells activated by lipopolysaccharide. An enzyme Jmmunoassay showed that lipopolysaccharide and other Toll-like receptor ligands promoted the secretion of endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 from activated dendritic cells. [3H]-thymidine incorporation demonstrated that endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 both inhibited the proliferation of T lymphocyte induced by activated dendritic cells. Furthermore, this immunosuppressive effect was blocked by CTOP, a specific antagonist of IJ-opioid receptors. Our experimental findings indicate that activated dendritic cells can induce the expression and secretion of endomorphins, and that endomorphins suppress T lymphocyte proliferation through activation of iJ-opioid receptors.

Characteristic fragmentation behavior of the analogs of endomorphin-2 with phenylglycine in position 3 or 4 by ESI-FT tandem mass spectrometry

A series of analogs of endomorphin-2 （EM-2） with phenylglycine （Phg） in position 3 or 4 were synthesized. In electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance （ESI-Fr-ICR） MS/MS spectra of these compounds, some b, y, a, and internal ions were observed and slight mass differences between the calculated and observed results are obtained. Their sequences were derived successfully. However, the MS/MS patterns of these analogs with Dphg and Lphg were very similar. It is hard to distinguish them by MS/MS spectra. Moreover, if the third position was substituted by phenylglycine （L or D）, a rearrangement could occur in MS/MS experiment to lose proline residue.

[Objectives]To explore the curative effect of Self-made Wubeizi Decoction combined with recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor(rhaFGF)in promoting postoperative wound healing in patients with anal fistula.[Methods]A total of 82 patients with anal fistula who underwent anal fistula resection+use of setons in Luodian Hospital during January and March of 2020 were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 41 cases in each group.The control group was given rhaFGF external application regimen,and the observation group was treated with Self-made Wubeizi Decoction on the basis of the control group.After 3 weeks of treatment,the differences in curative effects of TCM syndromes were compared between the two groups.Besides,the changes in TCM symptom scores,inflammatory mediators[interleukin-12(IL-12),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interferon-γ(IFN-γ)],anorectal functions[anal resting pressure(ARP),maximal systolic pressure(MSP)and maximum tolerated volume(MTV)of the anal canal],quality of life[GQOLI-74 scores]were compared.[Results]After 3 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05);the levels of TCM symptom scores,IL-12,TNF-α,IFN-γ,ARP,MSP,and MTV in both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment,and these levels in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group at the same time(P<0.05).The GQOLI-74 scores of both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment,and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.05).[Conclusions]The Self-made Wubeizi Decoction combined with rhaFGF therapy has a significant effect in promoting postoperative wound healing in patients with anal fistula.It can effectively inhibit the local inflammation of patients,facilitate the recovery of anorectal function and improve the quality of life,thus has high clinical application value.

Relationship between anal cancer recurrence and cigarette smoking

BACKGROUND The incidence of anal cancer has been increasing in the United States.Smoking is a well-established risk factor;however,the impact of smoking on disease recurrence and outcome has not been well studied.The aim of this study was to assess the association between anal cancer recurrence and cigarette smoking.AIM To investigate the relationship between cigarette smoking status and anal cancer treatment outcome.METHODS The cancer registry from a single,community hospital was screened for patients with anal cancer between 2010 and 2021.The following characteristics were gathered from the database:Age;sex;cigarette smoking history;American Joint Committee on Cancer Clinical Stage Group;response to therapy;recurrence;time to recurrence;mortality;time to death;and length of follow-up.Patients were divided into the following groups:Current smokers;former smokers;and never smokers.SPSSv25.0 software(IBM Corp.,Armonk,NY,United States)was used for statistical analysis.RESULTS A total of 95 patients from the database met the screening criteria.There were 37 never smokers,22 former smokers,and 36 current smokers.There was no difference between groups in regards to race or sex.There was no difference in the American Joint Committee on Cancer Clinical Stage Group between groups.The former smokers were significantly older when compared to never smokers and current smokers(66.5±13.17 vs 57.4±7.82 vs 63.7±13.80,P=0.011).Former smokers and current smokers had a higher recurrence rate compared to never smokers(30.8%and 20.8%compared to zero,P=0.009).There was not a significant difference in recurrence between former smokers and current smokers.There was no difference in the mortality,non-response rate,or time to death between the groups.CONCLUSION Our data contributes evidence that cigarette smoking status is associated with increased recurrence for patients with anal cancer.

Comparative analysis of Parikartika and Anal Fissure: unraveling diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical dimensions

Background:Agnimandya,the underlying cause of anorectal disorders,of which Parikartika is the most well-known,is brought on by lifestyles characterized by sedentary behavior,elevated stress,poor nutrition,and sleep habits.The illness known as Parikartika,with signs and symptoms like fissure-in-ano in modern sources,is characterized by kartanvat Vedana(cutting pain)over the anal region.Acute fissure-in-ano is treated with analgesics,stool softeners,and soothing creams.Treatment options for hazy chronic fissures include anal dilatation,sphincterotomy,fissurectomy,and anal advancement flap.In addition to using laxatives and substances that promote wound healing(vranaropaka),the concepts of management of Parikartika in Ayurveda are more heavily weighted towards enhancing the nature,character,and consistency of stool and stabilizing the digestive functions Parikartika is mentioned in Ayurvedic texts as a complication of many Ayurvedic procedures,such as Vamana,Virechana,and Basti,as well as a complication of some disorders,such as Arsh,Atisar,and Grahani.Aim and objective:This article aims to comprehensively review the literature,diagnostic,and therapeutic aspects of Parikartika,with its correlation to Fissure in ano,and compare the clinical outcomes of the treatment modalities with supporting references,consolidating all pertinent information on the subject.Material&method:Collection from Samhita’s,commentaries,exploring medical websites,Ayurvedic journals related to the topic of Parikartika and fissure in ano,systematic record of the collected literature and a summary of each item.Organize the collected materials,reference and citation are the material and method followed here.Discussion&conclusion:This is an extensive literature review on Parikartika in Ayurveda,exploring its contemporary association with Fissure in Ano.The research offers insights that can inform the evaluation and treatment of this condition,considering both conservative and surgical approaches,thereby enhancing clinical management strategies.

Diagnostic performance of texture analysis in the differential diagnosis of perianal fistulising Crohn’s disease and glandular anal fistula

BACKGROUND Perianal fistulising Crohn's disease(PFCD)and glandular anal fistula have many similarities on conventional magnetic resonance imaging.However,many patients with PFCD show concomitant active proctitis,but only few patients with glandular anal fistula have active proctitis.AIM To explore the value of differential diagnosis of PFCD and glandular anal fistula by comparing the textural feature parameters of the rectum and anal canal in fat suppression T2-weighted imaging(FS-T2WI).METHODS Patients with rectal water sac implantation were screened from the first part of this study(48 patients with PFCD and 22 patients with glandular anal fistula).Open-source software ITK-SNAP(Version 3.6.0,http://www.itksnap.org/)was used to delineate the region of interest(ROI)of the entire rectum and anal canal wall on every axial section,and then the ROIs were input in the Analysis Kit software(version V3.0.0.R,GE Healthcare)to calculate the textural feature parameters.Textural feature parameter differences of the rectum and anal canal wall between the PFCD group vs the glandular anal fistula group were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test.The redundant textural parameters were screened by bivariate Spearman correlation analysis,and binary logistic regression analysis was used to establish the model of textural feature parameters.Finally,diagnostic accuracy was assessed by receiver operating characteristic-area under the curve(AUC)analysis.RESULTS In all,385 textural parameters were obtained,including 37 parameters with statistically significant differences between the PFCD and glandular anal fistula groups.Then,16 texture feature parameters remained after bivariate Spearman correlation analysis,including one histogram parameter(Histogram energy);four grey level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM)parameters(GLCM energy_all direction_offset1_SD,GLCM entropy_all direction_offset4_SD,GLCM entropy_all direction_offset7_SD,and Haralick correlation_all direction_offset7_SD);four texture parameters(Correlation_all direction_offset1_SD,cluster prominence_angle 90_offset4,Inertia_all direction_offset7_SD,and cluster shade_angle 45_offset7);five grey level run-length matrix parameters(grey level nonuniformity_angle 90_offset1,grey level nonuniformity_all direction_offset4_SD,long run high grey level emphasis_all direction_offset1_SD,long run emphasis_all direction_offset4_SD,and long run high grey level emphasis_all direction_offset4_SD);and two form factor parameters(surface area and maximum 3D diameter).The AUC,sensitivity,and specificity of the model of textural feature parameters were 0.917,85.42%,and 86.36%,respectively.CONCLUSION The model of textural feature parameters showed good diagnostic performance for PFCD.The texture feature parameters of the rectum and anal canal in FS-T2WI are helpful to distinguish PFCD from glandular anal fistula.

Research Progress of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Dressing Change on Wound Healing After Anal Fistula Surgery

With the change of people’s lifestyle and diet,the incidence of anorectal diseases is increasing year by year.Anal fistula is a common anorectal disease.Because it cannot heal by itself,surgery has become the main treatment method.Due to the particularity of wound location and physiological structure,the wound is easily contaminated by bacteria,so dressing change after surgery plays a decisive role in wound healing.Modern western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine have different dressing changing methods respectively.In this paper,we reviewed commonly used dressing changing methods of traditional Chinese and western medicine after anal fistula surgery.
