Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is one kind of the most common gastrointestinal tumors derived from the mesenchymal tissue.In most cases,it occurs in adults,while rarely occurs in adolescents.The clinical diagnosis of pediatric GIST can refer to the diagnosis standard of adults GIST,but it pays more attention to genetic diagnosis.The main treatment for pediatric GIST is surgery,but for advanced or unresectable patients,we can adopt imatinib or sutent for targeted therapy according to the results of genetic testing.

Objective To analyze the ostomy patients' demands, resolve the common problems after discharge by telephone consultation, and supplement the content of specialized health education. Methods The data of 256 telephone consultations from 186 patients with ostomy were retrospectively analyzed. Results Most of the consultations came from patients aged from 61 to 80 years old (64.5%) and patients within one year after surgery (85%). The contents focused on information about ostomy products, care of skin around the stoma and leakage of defecation, which accounted to 32.8%,30.1%,24.6%,respectively.The problems were solved by telephone interview in 201 consultations (78.5%). Conclusion Consultation by telephone is useful to find out the demands of discharged ostomy patients, resolve their problems in time and improve their quality of life. It has great significance for improving health education and extensive services of ostomy patients.

Objective To investigate the expression of COX-2 and angiogenesis in colorectal carcinoma tissue.Methods The expressions of COX-2 and MVD of 88 cases of colorectal carcinoma and 20cases of control tissue were examined by immunohistochemical staining. Results Compared with normal control,positive expression rates of COX-2(3/20 vs 64/88),and CD34(7/20 vs 74/88)of colorectal carcinoma tissue increased significantly(P<0.05).MVD in COX-2 positive expressed tissue(63.24-20.4)was higher than that in COX-2 negative expressed tissue(41.2±29.8)(P<0.01).Conclusion COX-2 is overexpressed in colorectal carcinoma tissue,which may have a strong relationship with MVD.

Danshen is one of the traditional Chinese herbal medicines and nas a long history or being used clinically in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions such as coronary heart disease and angina pectoris. Tanshinone IIA is a derivative of phenanthrene-quinone isolated from Danshen. It has been reported to be the major bioactive compound of Danshen and has diverse biological effects. Recent studies demonstrated that tanshinone IIA had neuroprotective effects on experimental ischemic stroke through its antiinflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-apoptosis effects and its inhibitory effect on excitatory amino acid toxicity. In this review, we summarized all the recent progresses on the protective effect of tanshinone IIA on cerebral ischemic stroke. Hopefully, this article will throw some light on further study and application of tanshinone IIA.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and surgical therapy of multiple primary colorectal carcinoma. Methods From 1998 to 2007, 47 patients with synchronous multiple primary colorectal carcinoma and 20 cases with metachronous carcinoma were treated in our hospital. Results In these 67 cases of multiple primary colorectal carcinoma, synchronous carcinoma (SC) accounted for 70% (47 cases) including 37 rectal cancer with a total of 95 larger bowel cancer lesions. There were 6 cases with Dukes A stage, 22 cases with Dukes B stage, 15 cases with Dukes C stage and 4 cases with Dukes D stage. In this whole group there were 20 cases with lymph node metastasis, 21 cases with adenoma and multiple polyps in SC. Three cases received total coloectomy, 10 cases did subtotal coloectomy, 34 cases were treated by radical resection and intestine segment resection. In 20 metachronous carcinoma cases, there were 31 colon cancer(70%) with a total of 44 intestinal cancer lesions. Altogether, there were 17 cases with two tumors, 2 cases with three tumors, one case with four tumors. The duration between the first and the last carcinoma was from 7 months to 19 years, including less than two years in 7 cases, from two to five years in 5 cases, and more than five years in 8 cases. In all 20 MC cases the first (primary) carcinoma received radical resection, while radical resection was performed for the secondary carcinoma in 14 cases and for the third carcinoma in 2 cases. In the SC and the primary carcinoma of MC patients who received radical resection, the 5-year survival rates were 74% and 78% respectively. Conclusion In cases of colonic carcinoma we shouldn't be satisfied with the diagnosis of single colon tumor before a thorough screening of the whole colon was made. In radical resection surgery for SC or MC cases an attempt to preserve enough residual intestinal tract should be made in order to improve the life quality of post-operative patients.

Objective To investigate the expression of guanylyl eyelasec(GC-C)mRNA in pefipheral blood of colorectal cancer patients and discuss its clinical significance. Methods To detect the GC-C mRNA in peripheral blood of colorectal cancer patients by reverse transcriptase PCR and analysis their clinical and pathological indexes. Results The positive rate of GC-C mRNA in 52 colorectal cancer patients was 50%(26/52),while to patients with extra-intestinal cancer,the positive rate was 0(0/8).There were significant difierences of positive rate of GC-C mRNA associated with tumor infiltration(P<0.05)and tumor embolus in vessel(P<0.05).While to CEA level in peripheral blood(P>0.05),but there were no statistical difference.The positive rate of micrometastasis in coloreetal cancer patients might increase using the GC-C mRNA combined with CEA level in peripheral bood.The positive rate of GC-C mRNA in colorectal cancer patients with Dukes A、B、C and D stages were 0(0/3),47.06%(8/17),52.38%(11/21),63.63%(7/11),The expression of GC-C mRNA increased with the clinical stage chang,there was no statistical difference.Conclusions GC-C expresses selectively in peripheral blood of colorectal cancer patients.Itis a valuable new tumor marker in micrometastasis diagnosis and post-operation follow-up of colorectal cancer,and it can also be used as the location determination of metastasis intestinal tumor.

Objective To compare the efficacy of transrectal ultrasonography(TRUS)and spiral computed tomography(SCT)in preoperative staging of rectal carcinoma contrasted with the postoperative pathologic findings.Methods Both TRUS and SCT were performed prior to surgery in 92 patients with rectal carcinoma.After radical operation,the preoperative findings were compared with the histological findings,and the the efficacy of TRUS and SCT in staging the rectal carcinoma were evaluated.Results The accuracy of TRUS for T stage and N stage was 87.0% and 64.1% respectively,while the accuracy of SCT was 68.5% and 66.3%.Conclusions TRUS is superior to SCT for the judgment of tumor infiltration depth,TRUS may become the first choice in preoperative staging of rectal carcinoma.But neither is able to provide satisfaction assessment for lymph node metastases.When both methods are used together,it would be better.

Aim To investigate the anti-neuroinflam-matory activities of dehydromiltirone and the underlying mechanisms in LPS-stimulated microglial cell line BV2 cells. Methods BV2 cells were pre-treated with de-hydromiltirone, then stimulated by LPS. The levels of nitric oxide( NO) were measured by Griess assay, and the concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA assay. Confocal fluorescence mi-croscopy was used to measure the expression of MAC-1, the biomarker of activated BV2 cells. The levels of-inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS ) , cyclooxygen-ase-2 ( COX-2 ) , NF-κB and PI3 K/Akt were deter-mined by Western blot analysis. Results The treat-ment of dehydromiltirone significantly inhibited the pro-duction of NO, TNF-α and IL-6, attenuated the ex-pression of iNOS and COX-2 protein, and dampened the microglial activation in LPS-stimulated BV2 cells. The mechanistic study revealed that dehydromiltirone inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3 K and Akt in LPS-stimulated BV2 cells, and decreased NF-κB activation by suppressing the degradation of IκB. Conclusion dehydromiltirone shows significant anti-neuroinflamma-tory effects through inhibiting PI3 K/Akt phosphoryla-tion and then inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway.
