Abstract:
Objective To investigate effects of CO_2 pneumoperitoneum,helium pneumoperitoneum,and laparotomy on(port-)site and visceral metastasis in BALB/c nude mice bearing human colon cancer xenografts.Methods A nude mouse model with human colon cancer LoVo cell line xenografts was used.The mice were randomly divided into four groups: CO_2 Pneumoperitoneum Group,Helium Pneumoperitoneum Group,Open Surgery Group,and Control Group.A biopsy was performed in the former 3 groups,and the Control Group received no surgical intervention. Results All the mice were sacrificed for pathological examinations.Orthotopic tumor xenograft was successfully established in all the mice of the four groups(100%,86/86).The rates of port-site metastasis were 9.5%(2/21) in the CO_2 Pneumoperitoneum Group,9.1%(2/22) in the Helium Pneumoperitoneum Group,and 19.0%(4/21) in the Open Surgery Group,respectively,without significant differences among the three groups(?~2=1.227,P=0.541).The rates of liver metastasis were 38.1%(8/21) in the CO_2 Pneumoperitoneum Group,31.8%(7/22) in the Helium Pneumoperitoneum Group,52.4%(11/21) in the Open Surgery Group,and 31.8%(7/22) in the Control Group,respectively,without significant differences among the four groups(?~2=2.543,P=0.468).Conclusions As compared with laparotomy and control groups,artificial pneumoperitoneum doesn't cause an increase of rates of port-site and visceral metastasis.Moreover,there is no significant difference between CO_2 pneumoperitoneum and helium pneumoperitoneum in rates of port-site and visceral metastasis.
