Objective To study the causes of local recurrence,and diagnosis and treatment outcome of recurrent colorectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 60 patients with recurrent colorectal cancer treated during 10 years in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among the 60 cases,40 cases(66.7 %) had recurrence within 2 years after operation.Recurrence in anastomotic stoma,perineum,abdominal incision occurred and in the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity in 15,10,7 and 20 cases respectively,and liver metastases were found in 8 cases.All patients underwent reoperation including curative surgery for 38 patients and palliative operation for 22 patients.After radical reoperation the 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rate was 93.6 %,48.8 %,and 36.3 %,respectively,and after palliative reoperation was 54.5 %,0 %,and 0 %,respectively.Conclusions Emphasizing the application of no-tumor touch technique,resection of adequate amount of bowel,performing complete lymphadenectomy and removal of micrometastatic lesions are the major measures to prevent recurrence of rectal cancer after operation.Integrative therapy regimens,of which surgical treatment is the major component,should be considered according to the location of recurrence and the clinical staging of the recurrent cases.

Objective To analyze the clinical diagnosis and treatment of recurrent cancer in gastric remnant.Methods Clinical data of 48 patients who underwent surgical re-operation because of recurrent carcinoma within gastric remnant after radical resection of gastric cancer were analyzed retrospectively.Results All 48 cases were recurrent cancer in gastric stump.The time of recurrence was 6-36 months after first radical resection.After reoperation,the mean survival time of 28 patients(58.3%)who underwent radical resection was 40 months;the mean survival time of 20 patients(41.7%)who received palliative treatment was 14.8 months(P

Although previous studies have shown functional efficacy of myelotomy for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI), the underlying mechanism remained unknown. This study aimed to determine the relationship between myelotomy-mediated neuroprotection and autophagy following SCI by evaluating the expression of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3-II) and mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Ninety-nine adult female rats were randomly assigned to either sham-operated group (SG), model group (MG), or 24 h-myelotomy group (MTG). SCI at T10 was induced with a New York University impactor, and myelotomy was performed 24 h after SCI. Functional recovery was evaluated via the open-field test. The protein expression of LC3-II was analyzed by Western blot, and the mRNA expression of LC3-II and mTORC1 were detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Rats in the MTG exhibited significantly better performance in the hind limbs compared to those in the MG on day seven and fourteen post-injury. Myelotomy suppressed the protein and mRNA expression of LC3-II on day three, seven and fourteen post-injury and increased the mRNA expression of mTORC1 in the MTG on day three and seven post-injury. The LC3-II protein expression was significantly and negatively correlated with BBB scores at day seven and fourteen post-injury. These results showed that myelotomy-induced neuroprotection in a rat model of SCI was likely mediated by inhibition of autophagy by activation of the mTORC1 signaling pathway

Two­photon microscopy is a new technique which combines laser scanning con-focal microscopy and two-photon excitation technique. Two-photon fluorescence microscopy has the advantages of little light damage, small bleaching area, strong penetrability, high resolution, high fluorescence collection efficiency, and high image contrast. It is suitable for dark field imaging and multi-labeled compound measurement, and has been widely used in small animals in vivo optical imaging, such as research for tumour, gene therapy, stem cells, drug development, spinal cord injury, etc.
