ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of various surgical procedures on liver carcinoma accompanied by portal hypertension. MethodsOne stage surgical procedure was performed in 28 cases of liver carcinoma accompanied by portal hypertension in our department from January 1992 to June 2000. ResultsThere was no operative mortality. The postoperative complications developed in 39%(11/28). The postoperative survival rates of 1?2 and 3 years were respectively 91%, 61%, and 48%. Postoperative upper digestive tract hemorrhage developed in 9 cases, 13 cases died during follow-up period, of whom 6 cases died of the recurrence of liver carcinoma, 2 cases died of liver failure, 5 cases died of upper digestive tract hemorrhage.Conclusions The survival time can be prolonged and the postoperative complications reduced through prudent selection of surgical procedures in patients suffering from concurrent liver cancer and portal hypertension. Postoperative recurrent bleeding can be prevented by pericardial devascularization. In poor risk cases with huge carcinoma, simple surgical procedure should be applied,and with a discreet application of chemoembolization.

Glycosylation, one of the most common and important reactions in biological systems, results in diverse functions and is often found in biologically active small-molecule natural products produced by microorganisms. Furthermore, sugar moieties are generally critical for their activities. Alternating the sugar structures thus provides the potentials for enhancing the biological activities of natural products, which evokes researchers to study the sugar biosynthetic machinery and its application in the modification of sugar moieties with an aim of generating unnaturally glycosylated natural product drugs with better activities. This review will briefly outline current studies on sugar biosynthesis and glycosyltransferase, with a few selected experiments designed to alter natural-product sugar structures.

The incidence of severe adverse reactions(degree level:3-4 grade) in test group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant [RR=1.14, 95%CI (1.00,1.29),P=0.04].CONCLUSIONS:Ramucirumab can extend overall survival and progression-free survival of adenocarcinoma in stomach or gastro-oesophageal junction,but the incidence of adverse reactions should be noticed.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of different dosages of oxycodone plus acetaminophen for treating acute pain after oral surgery,in order to provide a reasonable dosage of combination in clinic. Methods Randomized controlled trials ( RCTs ) on effect of combination of oxycodone plus acetaminophen on pain relief after oral operation were searched from the following data-bases:PubMed,EMbase,MEDLINE ( Ovid) ,the Cochrane Library,CNKI,and WANFANG from the date of their establishment to January 2015. The data of RCTs meeting the inclusive criteria were extracted according to Cochrane methods by two reviewers independently,and after the quality was evaluated and cross-checked,meta-analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.2 software. Results A total of 11 studies in 10 literatures involving 1 028 patients were included and were designated to 3 different dosage groups (5 mg/325 mg,10 mg/650 mg,10 mg/1 000 mg,respectively). The results of Meta-analyses showed that pain remission rate was significantly higher in the 3 different dosages of oxycodone plus acetaminophen groups than in the placebo group (RR5 mg/325 mg=3.35,95%CI [1.74,6.45],I2=38%,P=0.000 3;RR10 mg/650 mg=6.88,95%CI [4.00,11.83],I2=0%,P<0.000 01;RR10 mg/1 000 mg=4.94,95%CI [3.23,7.56],I2=81%,P=0.005). In additional,the RR of oxycodone 10 mg/acetaminophen 650 mg and placebo groups for pain remission rate was higher than that of the other 2 dosages groups,moreover,more studies were enrolled and its low heterogeneity led to high reliability. Usage rate of remedial painkillers was significally lower in oxycodone plus acetaminophen groups than in the placebo group (RR5mg/325mg=0.71,95%CI [0.60, 0.85],P<0.000 01;RR10mg/650mg=0.50,95%CI [0.41,0.61],P<0.000 01;RR10mg/1000mg=0.77,95%CI [0.66,0.90],P=0.001) ,In addition, the RRs of usage rate in oxycodone 10 mg/acetaminophen 650 mg and placebo groups were significantly lower than the other 2 dosages groups. Incidence rates of adverse effects were similar in the 3 different dosages groups and higher than that of the placebo group. However,the adverse events were generally described as mild to moderate in severity and rarely led to drug withdrawal according to all reports in the studies ( only one event ) . Conclusion The present study showed that combination of oxycodone plus acetaminophen can provide better analgesia in acute pain after oral surgery with high safety. In addition,combination of oxycodone 10 mg plus paracetamol 650 mg may be better for acute pain relief after oral surgery.
