To explore the relationship of expression of metastasis associated protein-CD 44 V 6 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) to lymph node metastasis in colorectal carcinoma,randomly selected patients with colorectal carcinoma who underwent coloproctectomy plus D 2～D 3 lymph node dissection were studied.The 104 patients were divided into:A group (n=48) without lymph node metastasis and B group(n=56) with metastasis.The expressions of CD 44 V 6 and PCNA were assayed by immunohistochemical technique.The results indicated that the 56 cases(75%) of B group were positive for expressions of CD 44 V 6 and PCNA,there was obvious correlation between both the expressions and lymph node metastasis(P

Objective To investigate prevention and treatment of parastomal hernia. Methods Clinical data of parastomal hernia of 44 cases were analyzed respectively with special respect to clinical features and repair methods. Result Simple sutures were used in 23 cases, mesh repair in 16 cases, stoma relocation plus mesh repair in 5 cases. Postoperative recovery was satisfactory in 39 cases. Incisional infection occurred in 5 cases, and hernia recurrence developed in 3 cases (6.8%) during a follow-up of 6 to 108 months (average 49 months) in 41 patients. Conclusion The causes of parastomal hernia are miscellaneous especially incisional infection; Perioperative malnutrition must be corrected companying diseases properly controlled, and operative technique improved to prevent the incidence of parastomal hernia; Surgery is the only cure for parastomal hernia. Mesh repair and/or stoma relocation is sometimes necessary.

Objective To investigate the rational method of treatment of rectal carcinoid and its outcome.Methods The clinical data of 36 cases of rectal carcinoid were retrospectively analysed.Results During a follow-up of 82.6+/-63.4 months,there were no cases with recurrence among the 20 patients with tumor size2cm.Conclusions Tumor diametar can be used to estimate the degree of malignancy of rectal carcinoid.TNM staging is simpler and practical for deciding the method of surgical treatment.
