As in adults, functional complaints of the gastrointestinal system in children and adolescents are common and are a cause of great anxiety, morbidity and significant healthcare costs. As far back as the 1960’s, attempts were made to classify functional complaints leading to the first diagnostic criteria for adult irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the “Manning Criteria”, in 1978. By the late 1980’s and early 1990’s it became clear that there was a need to standardise criteria for the diagnosis, treatment and study of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs).
与成人一样,儿童和青少年胃肠道系统的功能性疾病很常见,是引起极大焦虑、发病率和巨额医疗费用的原因。早在20世纪60年代,人们就试图对功能性疾病进行分类,从而在1978年提出了成人肠易激综合征(IBS)的第一个诊断标准——“曼宁标准”。到20世纪80年代末和90年代初,很明显有必要对功能性胃肠疾病(fgid)的诊断、治疗和研究标准进行标准化。

Background : Colonoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing various colonic pathologies. There is little recent research regarding the use of colonoscopy in South Africa.Objective : To describe the findings of the audit done on the practice of colonoscopy in a specialised gastroenterology unit (GEU) of a tertiary teaching hospital.Design : A retrospective audit of colonoscopies performed between the 01 January 2008 and 31 March 2010 in a single gastroenterology unit at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital(CMJAH) was conducted. Details of colonoscopy records were obtained from an administrative database of patient files. No patient specific inclusion or exclusion criteria were applied.Results : In total 1143 colonoscopies were performed during the study period, and 989 were analysed. The mean age was 63.04 years (10 - 93), 61.58% female, 61.48% were Caucasians and 25.88% were of black ethnicity. The indications for colonoscopies were; screening for colorectal cancer (22.95%), case findings (14.16%) and surveillance (14.96%). Caecal intubation rate (CIR) was 80.08%. Findings included macroscopically normal colons (38.12%), polyps (28.18%) and diverticular disease (23.15%). Of the biopsies obtained during colonoscopy procedures 30.50% were reported as normal colonic mucosa, 10.40% revealed adenocarcinoma and 55.37% were tubular adenomas.Conclusions : The audit identified a number of shortfalls, which include: poor colonoscopy performance quality as reflected by the low CIR, non standardised colonoscopy reporting format resulting in paucity of information on scope reports, under-representation of the black community, to mention a few. It therefore would appear, based on the findings from this study that there is room for improvement in a number of areas in the practice of colonoscopy in this unit. Further studies may be of value to identify reasons behind these shortfalls.
背景:结肠镜检查是诊断各种结肠病变的重要工具。最近关于南非结肠镜检查使用的研究很少。目的:描述对某三级教学医院消化科专科(GEU)结肠镜检查实践的审计结果。设计:对2008年1月1日至2010年3月31日期间在Charlotte Maxeke约翰内斯堡学术医院(CMJAH)的一个胃肠科进行的结肠镜检查进行回顾性审计。结肠镜检查记录的细节是从患者档案的管理数据库中获得的。没有采用患者特定的纳入或排除标准。结果:研究期间共进行结肠镜检查1143例,分析989例。平均年龄63.04岁(10 ~ 93岁),女性占61.58%,白种人占61.48%,黑人占25.88%。结肠镜检查的指征是;结直肠癌筛查(22.95%)、病例发现(14.16%)和监测(14.96%)。盲肠插管率(CIR)为80.08%。结果包括宏观上正常的结肠(38.12%)、息肉(28.18%)和憩室疾病(23.15%)。在结肠镜检查过程中获得的活检中,30.50%为正常结肠黏膜,10.40%为腺癌,55.37%为管状腺瘤。结论:审计发现了一些不足之处,其中包括:低CIR反映的结肠镜检查表现质量差,未标准化的结肠镜检查报告格式导致范围报告信息缺乏,黑人社区代表性不足,等等。因此,根据本研究的结果,在本单位的结肠镜检查实践中,在许多方面都有改进的余地。进一步的研究对于找出这些不足背后的原因可能是有价值的。

We face massive challenges as coding and tariff issues drag on unresolved, private healthcare costs targeted as inappropriately high, the National Health Insurance (NHI) policy still shrouded in darkness and shortages of health workers. This is a time of great uncertainty, an uncertainty brought about by living in a country that finds itself in a persistent transitional state.

Background: The operating room is a high-risk setting for occupational sharps injuries and bloodborne pathogen exposure. In Africa, where prevalence of bloodborne pathogens is often high and resources are often low, the risks are especially high for surgeons. This study systematically documents risk factors among South African surgeons regarding bloodborne pathogen transmission during surgery. Methods: A retrospective survey was conducted among surgeons attending the ASSA biennial meeting. The survey results reflect patterns of risk and availability and use of safety practices, garments and devices. Results: Of 96 surgeons participating in the survey, 70% reported at least one percutaneous injury during the previous year, with the average rate of percutaneous injury 2.75 per year. Suture needles were the most common source of injury (84%). More than half reported being splashed by blood or body fluids, with an annual average of 3.5, most often to the eyes. Sixty-nine percent reported complete HBV vaccination, and HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) was readily available. Eyes were not sufficiently protected. Slightly more than half reported using hands-free passing, and more than one-third reported using blunt suture needles. Comparing surgeons who used a combination of hands-free passing and blunt sutures and those who did not revealed markedly different rates of injury. Conclusions: Risks of blood exposure among South African surgeons are high. Wider adoption of safe techniques, devices and personal protective equipment could reduce the risks. Recommendations for injury prevention and safe practice that can protect the health and lives of the surgical team are offered.
背景:手术室是职业性锐器伤害和血源性病原体暴露的高危场所。在非洲,血源性病原体的流行率往往很高,而资源往往很低,外科医生面临的风险尤其高。本研究系统地记录了南非外科医生在手术过程中有关血源性病原体传播的危险因素。方法:对参加两年一次的ASSA会议的外科医生进行回顾性调查。调查结果反映了风险模式、安全措施、服装和设备的可用性和使用情况。结果:96名参与调查的外科医生中,70%报告上一年至少发生过一次经皮损伤,平均每年发生2.75例。缝合针是最常见的损伤来源(84%)。超过一半的人报告被血液或体液溅到,平均每年3.5次,最常见的是眼睛。69%的人报告了完全的乙肝疫苗接种,HIV暴露后预防(PEP)也很容易获得。眼睛没有得到足够的保护。略多于一半的人报告使用免提通行,超过三分之一的人报告使用钝缝合针。比较使用无手缝合和钝化缝合相结合的外科医生和不使用钝化缝合的外科医生显示出明显不同的受伤率。结论:南非外科医生血液暴露的风险很高。更广泛地采用安全技术、装置和个人防护装备可以减少风险。建议的伤害预防和安全做法,可以保护外科团队的健康和生命。

Background: Traditionally, inflammatory bowel disease has been a disease entity associated with European ancestry. Despite claims of rarity, numerous studies have emerged which indicate that the prevalence of IBD has increased in various ethnic groups worldwide. We illustrate that IBD is indeed a multi-ethnic disease and the clinical characteristics of IBD in our setting are presented in this study. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study of the medical records of IBD patients presenting to the Department of Gastroenterology, area 554 of the Charlotte Makexe Johannesburg Academic Hospital was undertaken. One hundred twenty-six patients with IBD referred to this tertiary gastrointestinal centre from 2005 through 2010, were assessed. Demographic and historical characteristics, clinical features as well as drug and surgical interventions were assessed according to a predetermined patient data collection form. Results: Analyses demonstrated that 63.5% of the sample had UC, 34.1% had CD and 2.4% were diagnosed as having IC, with a female to male ratio of 1.4: 1. There were comparable numbers of White, Indian and Black patients with UC but very few Black patients contributed to the CD burden. Moreover, CD was established as a more severe disease entity as manifest by a higher proportion of extra-intestinal manifestations, in addition to higher complication and surgery rates in this group. Conclusion: Our findings show that although Caucasians still represent the greater fraction of IBD cases, the numbers of Black South Africans affected by this disease have grown. Moreover, in contrast to earlier studies, we found that disease in Black patients is milder compared to White and Indian counterparts. We have been able to illustrate that IBD is in fact a multi-racial disease entity as shown to affect various ethnic groups.
背景:传统上,炎症性肠病一直是一种与欧洲血统相关的疾病。尽管声称罕见,但大量研究表明,IBD的患病率在世界各地的不同种族群体中都有所增加。我们表明,IBD确实是一种多民族疾病,在我们的研究中,IBD的临床特征被提出。方法:对Charlotte Makexe约翰内斯堡学术医院554区消化科IBD患者的医疗记录进行回顾性横断面描述性研究。从2005年到2010年,共有126名IBD患者在该三级胃肠中心就诊。根据预先确定的患者数据收集表评估人口统计学和历史特征、临床特征以及药物和手术干预措施。结果:分析显示,63.5%的样本有UC, 34.1%有CD, 2.4%诊断为IC,男女比例为1.4:1。白人、印度人和黑人的UC患者数量相当,但很少有黑人患者造成乳糜泻负担。此外,乳糜泻被认为是一种更严重的疾病,表现为更高比例的肠道外表现,以及更高的并发症和手术率。结论:我们的研究结果表明,尽管白种人仍然占IBD病例的更大比例,但受这种疾病影响的南非黑人人数有所增加。此外,与早期的研究相比,我们发现黑人患者的疾病比白人和印度患者轻。我们已经能够说明,IBD实际上是一个多种族的疾病实体,显示影响不同的种族群体。

We have been able to illustrate that IBD is in fact a multi-racial disease entity as shown to affect various ethnic groups.","PeriodicalId":39144,"journal":{"name":"South African Gastroenterology Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"6-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70616436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour (GIST) is a rare disease but the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. It has an incidence of 14.5-15 per million people. GIST tumor cells originate from the precursors of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), and are Kit/CD117 and CD34 positive. The key prognostic factors indicative of GIST metastasis, disease advancement and recurrence are the tumour size and the mitotic index. The anatomical site may also be informative for risk stratification. Despite existing differences in GIST clinicopathology, 75-80% of these tumors have an oncogenic mutation in the KIT (v-kit Hardy-Zuckerman feline sarcoma viral oncogene homolog) or PDGFRa (platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide) genes. These gain of function mutations have been linked to GIST pathogenesis. Indeed both genes, which map to chromosome 4q12, belong to the type III tyrosine kinase family and encode highly homologous transmembrane glycoproteins. Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) patients have an increased risk of developing GISTs, although they will rarely have any KIT or PDGFRa mutations. The treatment of GIST patients has drastically changed since the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), such as Imatinib mesylate, which targets KIT and PDGFRa.
胃肠道间质瘤是一种罕见的疾病,但却是最常见的胃肠道间质肿瘤。它的发病率为每百万人14.5-15人。GIST肿瘤细胞起源于Cajal间质细胞(ICC)的前体,Kit/CD117和CD34阳性。提示GIST转移、疾病进展和复发的关键预后因素是肿瘤大小和有丝分裂指数。解剖部位也可作为危险分层的信息来源。尽管GIST临床病理存在差异,但这些肿瘤中75-80%在KIT (v-kit Hardy-Zuckerman猫肉瘤病毒癌基因同源物)或PDGFRa(血小板衍生生长因子受体,α多肽)基因中存在致癌突变。这些功能突变的增加与GIST的发病机制有关。事实上,这两个定位于染色体4q12的基因都属于III型酪氨酸激酶家族,并编码高度同源的跨膜糖蛋白。1型神经纤维瘤病(NF1)患者发生gist的风险增加,尽管他们很少有KIT或PDGFRa突变。自从引入酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKI)以来,GIST患者的治疗发生了巨大变化,例如甲磺酸伊马替尼,其靶向KIT和PDGFRa。
