81 ± 26.18 min and 16.0 (12.3-24.0) min] and control [93.70 ± 34.06 min and 20.5 (13.8-37.0) min] groups. There were no significant differences in oxygen absorption time after extubation between HPS and control groups. The incidence of PPCs, especially bi-lateral pleural effusions in the HPS group (61.9%), was higher than in IPVD (12.5%) and control (30.0%) groups. Increased serum levels of the growth-regulated oncogene, monocyte chemoattractant protein, soluble CD40 ligand and interleukin 8 might be related to delayed recovery in HPS patients.

HPS patients with HBV-HCC suffer delayed postoperative recovery and are at higher risk for PPCs, especially bi-lateral pleural effusions, which might be associated with changes in certain cytokines.

Normative values for high-resolution manometry (HRM) have been obtained with the patient lying supine. The aim of the study was to compare supine, semirecumbent and sitting positions during HRM in terms of variation in normative metrics, diagnostic yield, and patient's comfort.

A prospective, single-center feasibility study was planned in consecutive patients referred to the esophageal function laboratory. In each of the three positions, 10 consecutive 5 ml water swallows and three 10 ml multiple rapid swallows were administered. Validated reflux questionnaires were administered prior to the test, and a visual analogue scale (VAS) assessing the patient's comfort after the test.

Twenty patients presenting with gastroesophageal reflux symptoms completed the study protocol. The intra-abdominal segment of the lower esophageal sphincter was significantly longer in the sitting position (P = 0.013), and the multiple rapid swallow distal contractile integral was lowest in the supine position (P = 0.012). The VAS comfort score did not significantly differ in the three body positions (P = 0.295). The concordance in the final diagnosis was 80% for semirecumbent vs. sitting (kappa = 0.15; P = 0.001), 70% for supine vs. sitting and 65.0% for semirecumbent vs. supine.

Compared to the supine position, both the semirecumbent and sitting position seems to provide similar advantages. HRM metrics and the final manometric diagnosis may be affected by body position, but complementary maneuvers, such are the rapid drink challenge, can resolve diagnostic discrepancies and improve the overall accuracy of the test.

Crohn's disease affects the entire gastrointestinal tract and is accompanied by changes in disease location and behaviour. We aimed to analyse changes and the factors in patients with Crohn's disease undergoing intestinal repeated-resection.

We included and retrospectively analyzed patients with Crohn's disease who received ≥2 bowel surgeries from a tertiary inflammatory bowel disease centre from January 2008 to December 2019. The Montreal classification was used to describe the disease site and behaviour. Factors were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis.

A total of 339 patients were included of whom 94 patients received ≥3 bowel resections. The median patient's age at the second and third surgery was 36.4 and 39.6, respectively. Repeated-resection most commonly occurred in the original surgical site. However, disease behaviour progressed with the number of surgical interventions and disease duration, especially for patients with B1 phenotype. Patients with L1 Crohn's disease at a primary rur progresses with the number of surgeries and disease duration. L1 Crohn's disease patients with a history of appendectomy have a higher risk to progress to L3 Crohn's disease at a second surgical resection, while the AZA may be a protective factor that reduces the risk of progression from L1 to L3.

Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death in the People's Republic of China. The aim of the article is to compare the effects of nursing care on the laboratory findings and ultrasound results of diabetic patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD) who were treated with antiglycemic drugs.

Diabetic were patients treated with metformin hydrochloride in combination with gliclazide, pioglitazone hydrochloride, sitagliptin, exenatide or liraglutide. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was evaluated by abdominal ultrasound, and fibrosis stages were evaluated at baseline and 8 months. All the patients were equally divided into two groups depending on the therapeutic approach.

The first group of patients additionally received nursing care, and the second group adhered to the prescribed therapy on their own. In total 90 patients, or 55.6%, had NAFLD at baseline, and its course was dependent upon changes in the weight (P = 0.009) and waist circumference (P = 0.012). The proportions of patients who demonstrated an ultrasonographic improvement in the control group were 24 (56.8%) with gliclazide, 15 (41.3%) with pioglitazone hydrochloride, 28 (66.1%) with sitagliptin, 16 (79%) with exenatide and 15 (66.7%) with liraglutide (P = 0.2). For the group that received nursing care an ultrasonographic improvement was in 29 (68.16%) with gliclazide, 18 (49.56%) with pioglitazone hydrochloride, 33 (79.32%) with sitagliptin, 19 (94.8%) with exenatide and 21 80.04% with liraglutide (P = 0.2).

Outcomes from the type 2 diabetes treatment paralleling of CLD were presented. Treatment of type 2 diabetes with pioglitazone hydrochloride, gliclazide, sitagliptin, liraglutide and exenatide was proven effective.
