Objective To compare the advantages and disadvantages of two approaches of laparoscopic radical resection for right colon cancer.Methods The data of 41 patients with right colon cancer in our hospital from March 2015 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively,who were randomly divided into the caudal-to-cranial group(n=23) and classical medial-to-lateral group(n=18) according to different approaches.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,conversion rate,the number of lymph nodes dissection,hospital stay time and postoperative complications between two groups were compared.Results The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,the conversion rate of the caudal-to-cranial group were better than those of the classical medial-to-lateral group,the differences were significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in hospital stay time,the number of lymph nodes dissection and postoperative complications between two groups.Conclusion Laparoscopic radical resection for right colon cancer by caudal-to-cranial approach is easy to operate and dissect,it can shorten the operation time,decrease the intraoperative blood loss,which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To determinate whether the first post-operative day serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) is more effective than serum calcium in predicting hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy.Methods According to PTH level on the first post-operative day,104 patients after total thyroidectomy were divided into different groups.Patient's serum calcium was measured,the number of patients who developed hypocalcemia and the time for calcium supplement were recored.Results Serum PTH was more accurate in predicting hypocalcemia than serum calcium.There were 26 patients whose PTH value was ＜ 5 pg/ml,among whom 7 patients had transient hypocalcemia and symptoms,while 5 of them developed hypocalcemia for long time and needed long-term calcium supplement.The positive predictive value of group PTH value ＜ 5 pg/ml was 28％,and the accurate rate was 46％,higher than other groups.Besides,the positive predictive value and the accurate rate of PTH value ＜ 5 pg/ml was higher than serum calcium.Conclusion Serum PTH is more effective in determining hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy than serum calcium,and PTH value ＜ 5 pg/ml on the first post-operative day is a reliable marker in predicting hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy.

Objective To investigate the risk factors, treatment methods and significance of the cervical venous angle lymph node metastasis in differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods The clinical data of 222 patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma from December 2012 to January 2014 were collected. The surgical methods, complications and postoperative complications and pathology were analyzed. Results Lymph node metastasis was found in 133 cases. when VI lymph node was positive , the lateral cervical lymph node positive rate was 43%(57/133) inⅡDistrict, 54%(72/133) inⅢDistrict,ⅣDistrict 45%(60/133) inⅣDistrict, 60%(80/133) in jugular angle, and 6%(8/133) in V District. The levels of bleeding volume, operation time and hospitalization time in functional neck dissection (FND) group were significantly higher than those in anterior cervical muscle group and reserved anterior cervical muscle group (P<0.05). Single factor analysis showed that diameter of the tumors, thyroid membrane invasion and central region lymph node metastasis had correlations with venous angle lymph metastasis (P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that thyroid membrane invasion (OR=3.539), central region lymph node metastasis (OR = 1.617), diameters of the tumors (OR = 1.321)were the risk factors of cervical venous angle lymph node metastasis. Conclusions Patients with tumor diameter equal to or more than 1.5 cm, thyroid membrane invasion and lymph node metastasis number greater than or equal to 2 should be performed with lateral neck lymph node dissection. Also the venous angle lymph node dissection should be done in these patients so as to increase radical rate.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence and subtypes of microdeletions in azoospermia factor (AZF) region in infertile men from Sichuan in order to correlate genotypes with phenotypes.

METHODSMultiplex-PCR was used to detect sequence tagged sites (STS) of AZF microdeletions in 1011 infertile men including 713 cases of non-obstructive azoospermia and 298 cases of severe oligospermia.

RESULTSThe overall prevalence of microdeletions was 10.48% (106/1011), and the deletion rates were 11.08% (79/713) in non-obstructive azoospermia and 9.06% (27/298) in severe oligospermia. Complete AZFa or AZFb deletions were associated with azoospermia, whereas AZFc deletion (60.38%) was the most frequent deletion. The deletions were associated with variable spermatogenic phenotypes, and 37.50% of the patients with a deletion had sperms in the ejaculate. A mild decline in sperm concentration was found in two cases with partial AZFb deletion and one case with partial AZFb-c deletion.

CONCLUSIONDeletions of the AZFc region were most commonly found in our patients. All cases with complete AZFa or AZFb deletions and a proportion of cases with AZFc deletion were associated with azoospermia. Our study has provided more insight into the genotype-phenotype correlation, and confirmed that Yq microdeletion screening has a significant value for the diagnosis for male infertility.

The electrospray ionization-ion mobility spectrometric (ESI-IMS) technique has the potential as an analytical separation tool in analyzing polypeptides and amino acids for fast screening unknown samples in anti-chemical and biological terror attacks. A method for detecting several polypeptides and amino acids was developed based on ESI-IMS using air as drift gas at room temperature. The ion mobility of four amino acids and two polypeptides dissolved in methanol was determined on the system at elution rate of 2 mL/ min. The spectra of these compounds had characteristics of finger-printing maps. The limit of detection of this instrument for Substance P could reach 855 ng / mL in 1 min. The results showed that a small, self-contained ESI-IMS instrument with reservoirs of air could be used to quickly detect and accurately identify polypeptides and amino acids.
