Effect of endoscopic submucosal dissection on gastrointestinal function and nutritional status in patients with early gastric cancer.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) endangers the survival and prognosis of patients worldwide. Improving the prognosis of patients with early GC (EGC) is crucial to prolong their survival time.

Aim: To analyze the effects of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) on gastrointestinal function and nutritional status in patients with EGC.

Hypertriglyceridemia as a risk factor for complications of acute pancreatitis and the development of a severity prediction model.

Background: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a major cause of acute pancreatitis (AP). We aimed to determine whether HTG is an independent risk factor for AP complications and construct a prediction model for non-mild AP.

Methods: We conducted a multi-center cohort study including 872 patients with AP and divided them into HTG-AP and non-HTG-AP groups.

Objective: To explore the efficacies of live combined Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) and Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) capsules plus lactulose in the treatment of functional constipation.

[A case-control study on the risk factors of benign prostatic hyperplasia in the suburb of Shenyang].

Objective: To investigate the relation between various risk factors and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Methods: A population based case-control study was conducted, including 100 BPH patients over 60 years old living in suburb of Shenyang as study group, and 100 elderly men with non-BPH (excluding prostatic cancer and prostatitis) as control group. Chi(2) test and non-conditional logistic regression were used for monovariate analysis and multivariate analysis, respectively.
