Background: This study investigated the correlations between several trauma scoring systems, including the injury severity score (ISS), clinical abdominal scoring system (CASS), new injury severity score (NISS), and clinical outcomes, including laparotomy, in-hospital mortality (IHM), and long hospital stay (LS) in patients with abdominal trauma.
Methods: Data of 749 patients with abdominal trauma between January 2009 and December 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Data from medical records included age, sex, initial vital signs, type and mechanism of trauma, hospital stay, laparotomy, and IHM. Injured organs and grades were collected using computed tomography. Correlations between the scoring system and clinical outcomes were analyzed using the area under Curves (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 40.14±19.47 years. Blunt trauma was the most common type of trauma in 704 patients (94.0%), and traffic accident was the most common mechanism in 475 (63.4%). Injured organs included liver (45.1%) and spleen (25.1%). A total of 179 patients (23.9%) underwent laparotomy and IHM was reported in 35 (4.6%). The AUC of ROC for ISS, NISS, and CASS was significantly associated with laparotomy (0.682; p=0.001, 0.713; p=0.001; 0.845; p=0.001). The AUCs showed significant for IHM (0.606; p=0.034, 0.626; p=0.012, 0.701; p=0.001). The AUCs for LS were 0.554 (p=0.041), 0.549 (p=0.062), and 0.581 (p=0.002).
Conclusion: The CASS is excellent for predicting laparotomy, IHM, and LS in patients with abdominal trauma. The NISS is more appropriate than the ISS for predicting laparotomy and IHM.

Background: Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome may both cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. Irritable bowel syndrome not only is an important differential diagnosis for Crohn's disease but also occurs in one out of three patients with Crohn's disease in remission in parallel. If not adequately diagnosed and treated, additional functional symptoms such as fatigue and/or muscle pain may develop, indicating a more severe course.

Background: Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (CAEBV) colitis is a rare disease with clinical and endoscopic manifestations very similar to those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In clinical practice, it is easy to be misdiagnosed and mistreated, leading to poor clinical outcomes.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 56-year-old Chinese woman who presented with 6 years of intermittent severe diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain.

Background: Endoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy (EGPC) has become an alternative option for treating cholecystolithiasis. However, developing a new method of EGPC in which the gallbladder wall is not damaged remains a challenge. This study introduced a new EGPC method called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which preserves the integrity of the gallbladder wall in the treatment of cholecystolithiasis complicated with choledocholithiasis.

Background: Local relapse has not been eradicated even in the era of total mesorectum excision. Although various approaches have been attempted, R0 resection remains the only potentially curative treatment. PATIENT AND METHODS: A 45-year-old woman with a history of laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection was diagnosed with pelvic recurrence 7 months ago.

Purpose: To describe the downsizing post-closure technique for access hemostasis during emergency endovascular repair (EVAR) in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAA).
Materials And Methods: A cohort of eight patients underwent emergency EVAR through 16 femoral access sites for infrarenal RAAA. The downsizing post-closure technique, which involves a reduction in the size of the large-bore access by advancing a 10F sheath, was consistently applied.
