Objective To explore the effect of carbohydrate administration on postoperative insulin resistance after gastroenteric tumor resection.Methods Sixty elective gastroenteric tumor resection patients were divided into observation group and control group by random number table method,with 30 cases in each.Observation group was given carbohydrate administration before surgery,that was 2 h before anesthesia oral carbohydrates 300 ml containing 50 g glucose;control group was treated according to the traditional methods,preoperative fasting 12 h,6 h forbidden to drink.The blood samples were collected to measure the levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and fasting insulin (FINS) at 3 h before operation and 1,3,7 d postoperation respectively.Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) was applied to calculate the insulin resistance index.Results The levels of FBG,FINS,HOMA-IR at 1,3 d postoperation in two groups were significantly higher than those at 3 h preoperation [observation group:(10.65 ± 1.78),(7.32 ± 1.48) mmol/L vs.(5.09 ±0.43) mmol/L,(25.78 ± 12.43),(16.23 ±7.56) mU/L vs.(10.48 ± 1.57) mU/L,11.67 ±6.32,5.12 ± 2.11 vs.2.35 ± 0.54;control group:(11.18 ± 1.25),(8.04 ± 1.53) mmol/L vs.(5.12 ± 0.39) mmol/L,(39.67 ± 10.37),(24.34 ± 6.78) mU/L vs.(9.98 ± 2.04) mU/L,19.07 ± 5.49,8.56 ± 2.87 vs.2.28 ± 0.39](P ＜ 0.05).The levels of FINS,HOMA-IR at 1,3 d postoperation in control group were higher than those in observation group (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of FINS and HOMA-IR at 7 d postoperation in observation group were returned to the 3 h preoperative (P ＞ 0.05),while the levels in control group [(16.32 ± 4.56) mU/L,3.87 ± 1.12] was still higher than those at 3 h preoperation (P ＜0.05).Conclusion Carbohydrate administration may shorten the insulin resistance durion after gastroenteric tumor resection,and reduce the intensity of insulin resistance,thus contributing to the rehabilitation of patients.

Objective To assess the effect of preoperative carbohydrate preconditioning on postoperative insulin resistance and inflammatory response in patients after gastroenteric tumor resection.Methods Sixty patients with elective gastroenteric tumor resection were divided into preoperative carbohydrate preconditioning group and control group by random digits table with 30 cases each.Preoperative carbohydrate preconditioning group was given oral containing 50 g glucose carbohydrate 300 ml 2 h before surgery,and control group was given traditional method,fasting 12 h before surgery and water deprivation 6 h before surgery.The blood samples were collected to measure the level of fasting blood glucose (FBG),fasting insulin (FINS),interleukin (IL)-6 and C-reactive protein (CRP),3 h before surgery and 1,3,7 d after surgery respectively.Homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was computed.Results There were no statistical differences in FBG,FINS,IL-6,CRP and HOMA-IR 3 h before surgery between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The FBG,FINS,IL-6,C RP and HOMA-IR in the 2 groups at 1,3 d after surgery were significantly higher than those 3 h before surgery,but those except for FBG in control group were significantly higher than those in preoperative carbohydrate preconditioning group [1 d after surgery:(39.67 ± 10.37) mU/L vs.(25.78 ± 12.43) mU/L,(98.67 ± 12.42) μg/L vs.(65.36 ± 16.72)μg/L,(121.74 ±11.32) mg/L vs.(82.18 ±4.36) mg/L,19.07 ±5.49 vs.11.67 ±6.32;3 d after surgery:(24.34 ±6.78) mU/L vs.(16.23 ±7.56) mU/L,(116.43 ± 18.57) μg/L vs.(78.53 ± 10.38) μg/L,(151.30 ± 10.46) mg/L vs.(129.29 ± 10.24) mg/L,8.56 ±2.87 vs.5.12 ±2.11],there were statistical differences (P ＜0.05).There were no statistical differences in FINS and HOMA-IR in preoperative carbohydrate preconditioning group between 7 d after surgery and 3 h before surgery (P ＞ 0.05),but there was statistical difference in control group (P＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in FBG,IL-6 and CRP in the 2 groups between 7 d after surgery and 3 h before surgery (P ＞ 0.05).There was no aspiration during anesthetic stage.Conclusion Preoperative carbohydrate preconditioning may shorten the insulin resistance time after gastroenteric tumor resection,reduce the intensity of insulin resistance,and improve inflammatory response,thus contributing to the rehabilitation of patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the value of immuomagnetic beads(IMB) technique for detection of intraperitoneal free cancer cells from colorectal cancer.MethodsPeritoneal lavage fluid was obtained from 80 patients with colorectal cancer during laparotomy.Peritoneal lavage cytology (PLC) and IMB were used to detect free cancer cells in peritoneal lavage fluid.10 patients with hysteromyoma during laparotomy were enrolled into the control group.ResultsThe positive rate of PLC was 8.8％ (7/80),the positive rate of IMB was 28.8％ (23/80).The positive case after useing PLC detect,IMB detect also was positive.The detected samples of control group were negative by these two methods.IMB was superior to PLC ( x2 =10.503,P =0.001 ).ConclusionIMB was more sensitive and specific than PLC,which could provide a effective method for finding intraperitoneal free cancer cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of Tongqiao Yinao decoction ( TYD) on postoperative cogni-tive dysfunction in elderly patients and its underlying mechanisms .Methods 100 anesthetic patients for orthopedic surgery were randomly divided into the TYD-treated group and control group ,50 patients in each group .In TYD-trea-ted group,patients received 150mL TYD orally,twice daily for constitutive 15 days,beginning from the day of admis-sion in addition to conventional symptomatic and supportive treatment .While patients in control group received no TYD.Mini-mental state examination ( MMSE) was used to evaluate the patients′cognitive function before and after anesthesia.Meanwhile,blood samples of patients were also collected to test the expression levels of IL -6.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups before operation .However ,TYD-treated patients had signif-icantly lower incidence rate of POCD than the controls ( 20% in the control group , and 12% in the TYD-treated group;χ2 =4.332,P=0.037) 7 days after operation.The incidence rates of POCD in the TYD-treated group and control group were 30%and 38%1 day after operation ( P>0.05),28% and 20% 3 days after operation ( P>0.05),respectively.Compared with that before operation ,the blood levels of IL-6 in the two groups significantly increased 3 days after operation (control group,t=2.412,P=0.009;TYD-treated group,t=1.429,P=0.039).In contrast to the control group,the level of IL-6 in TYD-treated group declined to the baseline (the control group,t=0.851,P=0.049;TYD-treated group,P=0.404).Interestingly,compared with the controls,the TYD-treated patients had a significant lower level of IL-6 after operation (t=1.198,P=0.035).Furthermore,Pearson correlation analysis showed that change of IL-6 level in blood was negatively correlated with MMSE score (r=-0.782,P=0.022). Conclusion TYD can improve postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients ,presumably through decreasing the level of IL-6 in blood.

Background and purpose:Multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) are abnormally expressed in breast cancer and play an important role in the regulation of breast cancer. miRNAs may be a new target for the treatment of breast cancer. This study aimed to investigate the expression of miR-199a-3p in breast cancer and the effect of miR-199a-3p on proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer.Methods:Real-time PCR was used to test the expression of miR-199a-3p in breast cancer tissues, normal breast tissues, breast cancer cells and normal breast cells. Overexpression (or silencing the expression) of miR-199a-3p was conducted by transfecting MDA-MB-231 with miR-199a-3p mimics (or inhibitors). The proliferation of MDA-MB-231 was detected by MTT method. The apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 was investigated by Hoechst staining and caspase-3 activity assay kit.Results:Compared to corresponding non-tumor breast tissues (or normal breast cell HBL-100), lower levels of miR-199a-3p were expressed in breast cancer tissues or breast cancer cells. Overexpression of miR-199a-3p induced by miR-199a-3p mimic inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231, while silencing the expression of miR-199a-3p induced by miR-199a-3p in-hibitor increased the proliferation and suppressed the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231.Conclusion:The expression of miR-199a-3p is lower in breast cancer, which shows its tumor suppression effect by regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer cells.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of bile reinfusion via nasojejunal tube on liver function after biliary tract surgery. Methods Eighty patients with biliary tract surgery and bile outer drainage were divided into bile reinfusion group and control group by random digits table method with 40 cases each. The clinical data concerning the liver function and volume of biliary drainage were collected. Results The patients were well tolerated for bile reinfusion, and abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting occurred in some patients. The symptoms improved significantly after symptomatic treatment. The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (TBIL) levels at the fifth day after operation in bile reinfusion group were significantly reduced than those in control group:(31 ± 18) U/L vs. (48 ± 32) U/L and (51 ± 32)μmol/L vs. (76 ± 38)μmol/L, the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and ALT levels at the seventh day after operation in bile reinfusion group were significantly reduced than those in control group: (32 ± 19) U/L vs. (43 ± 26) U/L and (20 ± 19) U/L vs. (31 ± 22) U/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The volume of biliary drainage in the bile reinfusion group was significantly increased compared with that in control group at the third and fourth day after operation:(485 ± 52) ml vs. (428 ± 96) ml and (509 ± 62) ml vs. (458 ± 59) ml, and there was statistical difference (P<0.01). Conclusions Bile reinfusion via the nasojejunal tube may facilitate the recovery of liver function after biliary tract surgery.

Objective To investigate the effect of preoperative carbohydrate fluid intake on postoperative insulin resistance and immune function.Methods Sixty elective gastroenteric tumor resection patients were randomly divided into test (n =30) and control (n =30) groups.Control group were fasted before surgery,while test group were given oral carbohydrate before surgery.The blood samples were collected to measure the levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG),fasting insulin (FINS),and cellular immunity (CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 +,and CD4 +/CD8 +) before operation and 1,3,7 day postoperation,respectively.Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) was applied to assess the status of insulin resistance.Results Compared to preoperation,the levels of CD4 +,CD4 + / CD8 +,and HOMA-IR at 1 day postoperation in both control and test groups were significantly higher (P ＜ 0.05).Compared to test group,the levels of CD4 +,CD4 +/CD8 +,and HOMA-IR at 1,3 day postoperation in control group were significantly higher (P ＜ 0.05).At the seventh day after surgery,HOMA-IR levels in the test group were returned to the preoperative level (P ＞ 0.05),while the control group was still higher than before surgery (P ＜ 0.05).There were no differences in CD4 + and CD4+/CD8 + at seventh days after surgery between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Preoperative carbohydrate administration may shorten the insulin resistance duration after gastrointestinal cancer surgery,reduce the intensity of insulin resistance,and improve immune function.Thus contributes to the rehabilitation of patients.
