Authors: Tsai Tsung-Jung , Syu Kai-Jyun , Huang Xuan-Yuan , Liu Yu Shih , Chen Chang-Wei , Wu Yen-Hang , Lin Ching-Min , Chang Yu-Yao 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Colorectal cancer is a common malignancy and various methods have been introduced to decrease the possibility of recurrence. Early recurrence (ER) is related to worse prognosis. To date, few observational studies have reported on the analysis of rectal cancer. Hence, we reported on the timing and risk factors for the ER of resectable rectal cancer at our institute.
AIM
To analyze a cohort of patients with local and/or distant recurrence following the radical resection of the primary tumor.
METHODS
Data were retrospectively collected from the institutional database from March 2011 to January 2021. Clinicopathological data at diagnosis, perioperative and postoperative data, and first recurrence were collected and analyzed. ER was defined via receiver operating characteristic curve. Prognostic factors were evaluated using the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazards modeling.
RESULTS
We included 131 patients. The optimal cut off value of recurrence-free survival (RFS) to differentiate between ER (n = 55, 41.9%) and late recurrence (LR) (n = 76, 58.1%) was 8 mo. The median post-recurrence survival (PRS) of ER and LR was 1.4 mo and 2.9 mo, respectively (P = 0.008) but PRS was not strongly associated with RFS (R ² = 0.04). Risk factors included age ≥ 70 years [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.752, P = 0.047], preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (HR = 3.683, P < 0.001), colostomy creation (HR = 2.221, P = 0.036), and length of stay > 9 d (HR = 0.441, P = 0.006).
CONCLUSION
RFS of 8 mo was the optimal cut-off value. Although ER was not associated with PRS, it was still related to prognosis; thus, intense surveillance is recommended.

Authors: Li Xiao-Yan , Li Yao , Li Wen-Qiang , Ju Shuai , Dong Zhi-Hui , Luo Jian-Jun 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a pivotal intervention for managing esophagogastric variceal bleeding in patients with chronic hepatic schistosomiasis.
AIM
To evaluate the efficacy of digital subtraction angiography image overlay technology (DIT) in guiding the TIPS procedure.
METHODS
We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent TIPS at our hospital, comparing outcomes between an ultrasound-guided group and a DIT-guided group. Our analysis focused on the duration of the portosystemic shunt puncture, the number of punctures needed, the total surgical time, and various clinical indicators related to the surgery.
RESULTS
The study included 52 patients with esophagogastric varices due to chronic hepatic schistosomiasis. Results demonstrated that the DIT-guided group experienced significantly shorter puncture times (P < 0.001) and surgical durations (P = 0.022) compared to the ultrasound-guided group. Additionally, postoperative assessments showed significant reductions in aspartate aminotransferase, B-type natriuretic peptide, and portal vein pressure in both groups. Notably, the DIT-guided group also showed significant reductions in total bilirubin (P = 0.001) and alanine aminotransferase (P = 0.023).
CONCLUSION
The use of DIT for guiding TIPS procedures highlights its potential to enhance procedural efficiency and reduce surgical times in the treatment of esophagogastric variceal bleeding in patients with chronic hepatic schistosomiasis.

Authors: Zhang Xiao-Rong , Li Yan-Song , Xu Ya-Na 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Peptic ulcer is a common gastrointestinal disease, and psychological intervention has an important influence on its occurrence and development.
AIM
To investigate the effect of psychological nursing intervention on the anxiety level and quality of life of patients with gastrointestinal peptic ulcers.
METHODS
Two groups of patients with peptic ulcer were selected from January to December 2012, with 60 cases in each group, and psychological nursing intervention and routine treatment were respectively performed. Psychological nursing interventions include cognitive behavioral therapy, psychological support and relaxation training. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and quality of life questionnaire were used to evaluate the anxiety level and quality of life of patients before, during and after treatment.
RESULTS
The SAS scores of the experimental group significantly decreased over the course of treatment, from 52.3 before treatment to 30.5 after treatment, while SAS scores of the control group did not change significantly. Meanwhile, the experimental group's quality of life score (SF-36) significantly improved over the course of treatment, from 65.2 to 85.2, while the control group remained stable. Further analysis showed that sex and age had no significant influence on the effect of psychotherapy. Both men and women, young and old, showed similar trends in anxiety relief and improved quality of life after treatment.
CONCLUSION
Psychological nursing-based intervention program has a positive effect on the anxiety level and quality of life of patients with gastrointestinal peptic ulcer.

Authors: Wu Hai-Yan , Jin Jie , Chen Chen , Xu Jing-Jing , Jiang Qi , Lu Dong-Mei 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors. The three-dimensional quality structure model is a quality assessment theory that includes three dimensions: Structure, process, and results.
AIM
To investigate the effects of nursing interventions with three-dimensional quality assessment on the efficacy and disease management ability of patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery.
METHODS
In this prospective study, the control group received routine nursing, and the intervention group additionally received a three-dimensional quality assessment intervention based on the above routine care. Self-efficacy and patient disease management abilities were evaluated using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Exercise of Self-Care Agency scale, respectively. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 17.0, was used for the data processing.
RESULTS
This study recruited 112 patients who were assigned to the control and experimental groups (n = 56 per group). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in GSES scores between the two groups (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the GSES scores of both groups increased, with the experimental group showing higher values (P < 0.05). At the time of discharge and three months after discharge, the scores for positive attitudes, self-stress reduction, and total score of health promotion in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The implementation of a three-dimensional quality structure model for postoperative patients with esophageal cancer can effectively improve their self-management ability and self-efficacy of postoperative patients.

Authors: Zhou Yan , Yin Zi-Han , Sun Ming-Sheng , Wang Yang-Yang , Yang Chen , Li Shu-Hao , Liang Fan-Rong , Liu Fang 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common complication after abdominal surgery with high morbidity, which hinders patient recovery, prolongs hospitalization, and increases healthcare costs. Therefore, POI has become a global public health challenge. POI triggering is multifactorial. Autonomic and hormonal mechanisms are generally involved in POI pathogenesis. Recent studies have shown that beta adrenergic signaling of enteric glia is a POI trigger. Currently, the status quo, trends, and frontiers of global research on POI remain unclear.
AIM
To explore the current status, trends, and frontiers of POI research from 2011 to the present based on bibliometric analysis.
METHODS
Publications published on POI research from 2011 to 2023 were retrieved on June 1, 2023, from the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace 6.2.R2 and VOSviewer were used to conduct bibliometric visualization.
RESULTS
In total, 778 POI records published from 2011 to 2023 were retrieved. Over the past few decades, the annual cumulative number of related articles has linearly increased, with China and the United States of America contributing prominently. All publications were from 59 countries and territories. China and the University of Bonn were the top contributing country and institution, respectively. Neurogastroenterology & Motility was the most prolific journal. The Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery had the highest number of citations. Wehner Sven was the most productive author. Burst keywords (e.g. , colon, prolonged ileus, acupuncture, paralytic ileus, pathophysiology, rectal cancer, gastrointestinal function, risk) and a series of reference citation bursts provided evidence for the research frontiers in recent years.
CONCLUSION
This study demonstrates trends in the published literature on POI and provides new insights for researchers. It emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary cooperation in the development of this field.
Clostridium difficile infection following colon subtotal resection in a patient with gallstones: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Ke Feng , Dong Zhen-Hua , Bu Fan , Li Cheng-Nan , He Qi-Tong , Liu Zhi-Cheng , Lu Ji , Yu Kai , Wang Da-Guang , Xu He-Nan , Ye Chang-Tao 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Clostridium difficile (C. difficile ) infection (CDI) is a rare clinical disease caused by changes in the intestinal microenvironment, which has a variety of causes and a poor prognosis, and for which there is no standardized clinical treatment.
CASE SUMMARY
A patient experienced recurrent difficulty in bowel movements over the past decade. Recently, symptoms worsened within the last ten days, leading to a clinic visit due to constipation. The patient was subsequently referred to our department. Preoperatively, the patient was diagnosed with obstructed colon accompanied by gallstones. Empirical antibiotics were administered both before and after surgery to prevent infection. On the fourth day post-surgery, symptoms of CDI emerged. Stool cultures confirmed the presence of C. difficile DNA. Treatment involved a combination of vancomycin and linezolid, resulting in the patient's successful recovery upon discharge. However, the patient failed to adhere to the prescribed medication after discharge and was discovered deceased during a follow-up two months later.
CONCLUSION
CDI is the leading cause of nosocomial post-operative care, with limited clinical cases and poor patient prognosis, and comprehensive clinical treatment guidelines are still lacking. This infection can be triggered by a variety of factors, including intestinal hypoxia, inappropriate antibiotic use, and bile acid circulation disorders. In patients with chronic bowel disease and related etiologies, prompt preoperative attention to possible CDI and preoperative bowel preparation is critical. Adequate and prolonged medication should be maintained in the treatment of CDI to prevent recurrence of the disease.

ABSTRACT.
Many questions remain about the prevalence and effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection in malaria-endemic African countries like Uganda, particularly in vulnerable groups such as pregnant women. We describe SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin (Ig)G and IgM antibody responses and clinical outcomes in mother-infant dyads enrolled in malaria chemoprevention trials in Uganda. From December 2020–February 2022, among 400 unvaccinated pregnant women enrolled at 12–20 weeks gestation and followed through delivery, 128 (32%) were seronegative for anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM at enrollment and delivery, 80 (20%) were infected prior to or early in pregnancy, and 192 (48%) were infected or re-infected with SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy. We observed preferential binding of plasma IgG to Wuhan-Hu-1-like antigens in individuals seroconverting up to early 2021, and to Delta variant antigens in a subset of individuals in mid-2021. Breadth of IgG binding to all variants improved over time, consistent with affinity maturation of the antibody response in the cohort. No women experienced severe respiratory illness during the study. SARS-CoV-2 infection in early pregnancy was associated with lower median length-for-age Z-score at age 3 months compared with no infection or late pregnancy infect (−1.54 versus −0.37 and −0.51, P = 0.009). These findings suggest that pregnant Ugandan women experienced high levels of SARS-CoV-2 infection without severe respiratory illness. Variant-specific serology testing demonstrated evidence of antibody affinity maturation at the population level. Early gestational SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with transient shorter stature in early infancy. Further research should explore the significance of this finding and define targeted measures to prevent infection in pregnancy.
Knowledge of Human Monkeypox Virus Infection among Healthcare Providers and Associated Factors in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Authors: Bekele Sofonias Girma , Yallew Walelegn Worku , Melesse Hanna 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT.
Human monkeypox virus infection (mpox) is a reemerging viral zoonotic disease that has been occurring outside of locations where it has been endemic in Africa. To understand the shifting epidemiology of this disease and respond accordingly, increased clinical skill and professional capabilities are essential. However, there are no studies assessing the knowledge of healthcare professionals in Ethiopia on mpox. Hence, this paper aimed to assess knowledge of the infection and associated factors among healthcare providers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, specifically knowledge of diagnosis and treatment of mpox, from November 14, 2022 to November 25, 2022. A facility-based cross-sectional study design was used. Knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire, and a 70% Bloom’s cutoff point was used to classify the scores. A pretest was conducted in a similar setting before data collection. Frequencies, percentages, and bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used. The majority of participants, 128 (64.6% with 95% CI), scored below 70% on knowledge questions. Professionals with experience of 5 years or less had better knowledge than those who had worked longer (adjusted odds ratio: 0.301; 95% CI: 0.149–0.609; P = 0.000). Knowledge of mpox among healthcare providers in Addis Ababa was poor across sociodemographic and professional variables. Thus, education on mpox among healthcare providers in Ethiopia is critical in preparing the workforce and limiting potential damage to the country.
“I deserve neither mockery nor contempt”: the professional status of women in the world of journalism through their ego-documents (second half of the 19th century)
Authors: Kouzmenko Starychkina Anastassia 
Published: September 2024

This article explores the perception of the professional status of Russian female journalists in the second half of the 19th century. The main sources are ego-documents of women at periodicals working during the period under study, as well as those who identified as journalists. One of the most frequent elements of the analysed memoir texts is the expression of the need to work at periodicals for material support and self-fulfilment. Most female journalists saw their labour as an option to serve society and were ready to make sacrifices for the cause. They emphasized respect and the value of their work in the eyes of their colleagues, ridiculing and denouncing cases of gender discrimination. Women’s limited access to higher education stands out as a significant issue in the ego-documents.
L’article explore la perception que les femmes journalistes russes de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle avaient de leur statut professionnel. Ses principales sources sont des ego-documents émanant d’employées de périodiques qui s’identifiaient elles-mêmes comme journalistes et dont les activités professionnelles relevaient de la période étudiée. Dans les textes mémoriels analysés, la nécessité de travailler dans la presse est fréquemment justifiée par des besoins matériels ainsi que par la quête de soi. La majorité des femmes journalistes considéraient leur travail comme une forme de service rendu à la société et étaient prêtes à faire des sacrifices au nom de cette « Cause ». Elles soulignaient le respect et l’estime de leur travail par leurs collègues, ridiculisaient et dénonçaient les cas de discrimination de genre. Dans ces ego-documents, l’accès limité des femmes à l’enseignement supérieur est présenté comme un problème important.
В статье охарактеризовано восприятие русскими журналистками второй половины XIX века своего профессионального статуса. Основными источниками стали эго-документы сотрудниц периодики, чья профессиональная деятельность пришлась на исследуемый период, а также идентифицирующих себя в качестве журналисток. Одним из часто встречающихся элементов проанализированных мемуарных текстов является объяснение необходимости работы в органах периодической печати для материального обеспечения и самореализации. Большинство из журналисток рассматривали свой труд как вариант служения обществу и были готовы идти на жертвы ради «Дела». Они подчеркивали уважение и ценность своего труда в глазах коллег, высмеивая и обличая случаи дискриминации по гендерному признаку. Значимой проблемой в эго-документах предстает ограниченный доступ для женщин к высшему образованию.

Authors: Maritchik-Sioli Youlia 
Published: September 2024

The paper focuses on Elizaveta Akhmatova (1820-1904) – translator, editor and writer, the “first pioneer”, in her own words, of women’s literary work. The purpose of this research was to describe the conditions for entry into the profession (translation, publishing, writing), to present the results of her editorial activity (published periodicals), and to look at the reception of Akhmatova’s work by her contemporaries
Cet article est consacré à Élizavéta Akhmatova (1820-1904), traductrice, éditrice et écrivaine, « première pionnière », comme elle le disait elle-même, du travail littéraire féminin. L’objectif de cette recherche est triple : décrire l’entrée d’Akhmatova dans le métier (traduction, édition, écriture), présenter les résultats de sa démarche (revues périodiques publiées), ainsi qu’examiner la réception réservée à son travail par ses contemporains (O. Senkovski, N. Leskov, A. Droujinine,M. Sémevski, A. Skabitchevski). Ceci nous permettra de proposer une première réflexion sur le rôle, la place et la réputation littéraire de cette « première pionnière » dans le monde culturel et éditorial.
Статья посвящена Елизавете Николаевне Ахматовой (1820-1904) – переводчице, издательнице и писательнице, «первой пионерке», как она сама говорила о себе, женского литературного труда. Особое внимание в статье уделяется следующим вопросам: начало профессиональной деятельности Ахматовой (переводческая и писательская работа), описание издаваемых ей периодических журналов и переводных собраний сочинений, отклики современников на ее литературно-издательскую работу (О. Сенковский, Н. Лесков, А. Дружинин, М. Семевский, А. Скабичевский). Созданный набросок к портрету Ахматовой позволяет очертить ее место и роль в издательском мире, а также воссоздать литературную репутацию этой «первой пионерки» женского труда.
