Objective To introduce the standard procedure of Cattell Braasch maneuver and evaluate the complication and clinical value of this maneuver as a important exploration method in the surgery of pancreatic tumors. Method The clinical data of 13 cases of pancreatic tumors explored by Cattell Braanch maneuver before undergoing tumor resection were analyzed. Results Among these 13 cases there were 6 cases of tumors of the head (the pancreatic adeuocarcinoma in 4 cases, solid pseudo-papillary tumor and endocrine tumor in one each cases) and 7 cases of tumor of the body and tail of the pancreas (adenocarcinoma in 4 cases, solid pseudo-papillary tumor in 1 case, endocrine tumor in 2 cases) Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in 6 cases, including segmental resection of the tumor invading the superior mesenteric vein( SMV )with length varying from 3 to 7 cm and direct end-to-end reanastomosis in 3 cases. Distal pancreatectomy plus spleuectomy was performed in the other 7 cases, including the case in which extended tumor resection demanded left nephrectomy. Operations lasted from 2. 5 hrs to 11 hrs, in which only 10 ～ 15 mins were needed for Cattell Braasch maneuver . The blood lose was from 300 ml to 1000 ml. There were neither mortality nor severe complications in these series. Conclusion Cattell Braasch maneuver facilitates the exploration and tumor resection in patients suffering from pancreatic neoplasms especially malignances with better view of the operation field,it helps to avoid incidental iatrogenic injury, and also to the nongraft PV/SMV end-to-end anastomosis after the resection of tumor invaded segment.

Objective To explore the feasibility of a novel incisionless laparoscopic technique in the treatment of colorectal tumor, and evaluate the preliminary clinical result of this technique. Methods The clinical data of 12 consecutive resected specimens of high located rectal or sigmoid tumor removed by traditional laparoscopic surgery were analyzed to probe the indication of this technique and the first 2 cases received incisionless laparoscopic anterior resection. Postoperative follow up was made to evaluate the clinical feasibilities. Results Among 12 explanted fresh specimens there were 1 adenoma and 3 adenocarcinoma cases in which the key steps of the new technique were successfully demonstrated. In two cases, the bowel above the tumor was cut and the distal end was inverted and pulled through the anus laparoscopically, the tumor along with the bowel resected, the stump pushed hack, and intralumen sigmoidproctostomy fashioned. In these two patients, one of sigmoid cancer and one of large rectal adenoma with focal canceration, the mean operation time was 200 min, mean blood lose was 50 ml, mean bowel function recovery time was 1.5 days. After 13 and 15 respective months fullow up there was no complications nor tumor recurrence. Conclusions Ineisionless laparoscopic surgery, while in line with tumor free principles, has the advantage of safety, cost-effectiveness and being cosmetic in selected cases.

Objective To explore the serum lipids levels in healthy pregnant women,and to establish the reference intervals of serum lipids in middle and late pregnancy.Methods Triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TCH),high density lipoprotein (HDL),low density lipoprotein (LDL),apo-lipoprotein-A (APO-A) and apo-lipoprotein-B (APO-B) were measured in 3 200 pregnant women and 3 200 healthy women of childbearing age(the control group) from January 2014 to Febuary 2015 in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University.In the healthy pregnant women,serum lipids were measured at 14-20,24-28 and 37-40 gestational weeks,respectively.All the parameters were detected by Hitachi 7180 automatic biochemical analyzer.The test results were calculated and determined by the C28-A3 standard of the National Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.And the normal reference intervals of serum lipids in middle and late pregnancy were defined as 2.5％-97.5％.Results (1) The levels of TG,TCH,HDL,LDL,APO-A and APO-B in the control group were 0.8,4.2,1.0,2.7 mmol/L and 1.1,0.8 g/L,respectively.The levels of TG,TCH,HDL,LDL,APO-A and APO-B in middle and late pregnancy were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05).(2) The serum lipids levels at 14-20,24-28 and 37-40 gestational weeks in healthy pregnant women were compared with the control group as following.The TG levels were 1.9,3.8 and 4.4 folds of the control group;the TCH levels were 1.1,1.5 and 1.5 folds of the control group;the HDL levels were 1.2,1.6 and 1.5 folds of the control group;the LDL levels were 1.1,1.4 and 1.4 folds of the control group;the APO-A levels were 1.3,1.4 and 1.5 folds of the control group;and the APO-B levels were 1.1,1.5 and 1.5 fold of the control group respectively.The TG level was the most increased,and it increased gradually with gestational age (P＜0.01).(3) The median of LDL to HDL cholesterol ratio in the healthy pregnancy group at 14-20,24-28 and 37-40 gestational weeks were 2.7,2.5,2.6,respectively,which were significantly lower than that of the control group (2.8;P＜0.05).(4) Reference intervals of serum lipids at 14-20,24-28 and 37-40 gestational weeks in healthy pregnant women were as following.The TG levels were 0.7-3.9,1.7-6.3 and 1.6-8.1 mmol/L,respectively;the TCH were 3.3-6.9,4.3-8.3,4.3-8.7 mmol/L,respectively;the HDL were 0.8-1.8,1.0-2.1 and 1.0-2.1 mmol/L,respectively;the LDL were 2.1-4.5,2.7-5.1 and 2.6-5.2 mmol/L,respectively;the APO-A were 1.1-1.8,1.2-1.9 and 1.1-2.4 g/L,respectively;and the APO-B were 0.6-1.4,0.9-1.8 and 0.8-2.1 g/L,respectively.The LDL/HDL ratios were 2.3-3.1,2.2-2.9 and 2.1-3.0,respectively.Conclusions Serum lipids increased physiologically with gestational age in middle and late pregnancy.The establishment of reference intervals for serum lipids in pregnancy will help to distinguish abnormal serum lipid levels in middle and late pregnancy.

This guideline was published by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine,which has been developed to assist physicians performing sonographic studies of the brain in neonates and infants.Neurosonography should be performed only when there is a valid medical reason,and gain the necessary diagnostic information.Although it is not possible to detect every abnormality,adherence to the following guideline will maximize the detection of most abnormalities of the brain in neonates and infants that can be imaged with ultrasound.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of early changes in serum IL-17 and IFN-γ levels in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods 70 hospitalized elderly patients with AMI and 35 healthy people were selected.Serum level of interleukin-17 (IL 17) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were assayed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results Serum levels of IL17 and IFN-γ showed increasing trends in elderly patients with AMI as compared with that in control group,but there were no significant differences between the two group [(35.73 30.28) pg/ml vs.(28.70±17.12) pg/ml,(15.29±14.64) pg/ml vs.(11.38±10.10) pg/ml,t=0.144 and 0.138,P=0.365 and 0.377].There were correlations between serum IL-17 and IFN γ levels in patients with AMI and controls(r=0.936 and 0.989,both P=0.00).Serum levels of IL-17 or IFN-γhad no significant differences between AMI patients with well and poor prognosis [(35.43± 34.36) ng/L vs.(36.11±30.16) ng/L,(13.90±13.98) ng/L vs.(15.99±14.14) ng/L,U=0.266 and 0.166,P=0.687 and 0.668].Conclusions Serum IL-17 level has an increasing trend in AMI patients within 24h,but has no statistical significant.Serum IL 17 level has a significantly positively correlation with serum IFN γ level in the elderly,but serum levels of IL-17 or IFN γ have no significant correlations with short term prognosis in elderly patients with AMI.

Background and purpose:Life expectancy has continuously improved in recently years with the development of medical level. In 2012, the amount of people who were above 60 years old has reached 810 million and account for 11% of worldwide population. The worldwide population shift towards older ages will inevitably lead to more elderly patients being diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It still remains controversial whether sublobar resection is effective in such cases. In order to solve this question, we need to understand the clinical characteristics of these tumors. Methods:From 2006 to 2012, a total of 310 patients with NSCLC who were above 65 years old underwent surgical resection in Department of Thoracic Surgery, the First Afifliated Hospital of China Medical University and the Second Department of Thoracic Surgical Oncology, Jilin Province Tumor Hospital. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in sex, stage, histology, smoking status, smoking amount, drinking status, surgical approaches, multimodality therapy and overall survival. Survival was analyzed by Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test. Results:There were 256 (82.6%) elderly patients who underwent standard lobectomies and 54 (17.4%) patients who underwent sublobar resections. The overall 5-year survival rate was 52.9%. Patients with different surgical approaches (lobectomy and sublobar resection) had nearly the same 5-year survival rates (60.5%vs 60.8%, P=0.381). The prognosis were signiifcantly inlfuenced by gender (P=0.024), stage of disease (P=0.028), smoking status (P=0.034) and smoking amount (P=0.028). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that the smoking status was associated with the hazard ratio of 1.660 (1.058-2.606;P=0.028). Conclusion:In elderly NSCLC patients, sublobar resection is considered to be an appropriate treatment in comparison with lobectomy, as this procedure provides an equivalent long-term survival. The survival of elderly patients with lung cancer is closely related to the smoking status.

Objective To observe the expression of p53, bcl 2 genes, vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), insulin like growth factor I (IGF I), and the receptors of these factors of retinal vascular endothelial cells (VECs) of 1 to 20 week diabetic rats, and the relationship between the expressions and cell cycle arrest. Methods Retinal sections of diabetic rats induced by alloxan were immunohistochemically stained and observed by light microscopy (LM) and electron microscopy (EM). Dot blotting and Western blotting were used to determine the expression of mRNA, proteins of p53 and bcl 2. Results Under LM, immunohistochemical positive expression of p53 and bcl 2 were found on the vessels of ganglion cell layer and inner nuclear layer of retinae of 8 to 20 week diabetic rats; under EM, these substances were observed depositing in VECs. The retinal VECs also expressed VEGF, bFGF, IGF I and their receptors. There was no positive expression of other cell types in these retinae, all cell types of retinae in control group, or all cells of retinae of diabetic rats with the course of disease of 1 to 6 weeks. The result of dot blotting revealed that retinal tissue of 20 week diabetic rat expressed p53 and bcl 2 mRNA, and the result of Western blotting revealed that they also expressed p53 and bcl 2 proteins. But retinal tissues of control group did not. Positive expression of bax was not found in the retinae in control group or 1 to 20 week diabetic rats. Conclusion p53, bcl 2 may introduce cell cycle arrest of VECs of retinae in 8 to 20 week diabetic rats. High glucose might stimulate the expression of VEGF, bFGF, IGF I and their receptors, and the growth factors may keep VECs surviving by self secretion.
