Objective To study the anatomy,exposure and operation method in prevention of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in thyroid surgery.Methods The clinical data of 520 patients with thyroid disease in treatment of operation were retrospectively analyzed,and exposure of recurrent laryngeal nerve in 268 cases,non exposure of recurrent laryngeal nerve in 252 cases; resection of the majority of thyroid in 232 cases,resection of ipsilateral thyroid lobe+ isthmus+on the side of most resection operation in 220 cases; resection of ipsilateral thyroid thyroidectomy+contralateral subtotal+ipsilateral lymph node dissection operation in 68 cases.Results Exposure of recurrent laryngeal nerve in 268 cases.The recurrent laryngeal nerve in the external laryngeal branch was single 214 cases,accounted for 79.9％ (214/268); two 42 cases,accounted for 15.7％ (42/268),more than 12 cases,accounted for 4.5％ (12/268).The laryngeal recurrent nerve during thyroid artery through the rear 143 cases,accounted for 53.4％(143/268) ; during thyroid artery through the front 92 cases,accounted for 34.3％ (92/268); walk line between thyroid artery branches 33 cases,accounted for 12.3％(33/268).The thyroid permanent damage rate of exposure of recurrent laryngeal nerve surgery was 1.1％(3/268),lower than that in non exposure of recurrent laryngeal nerve surgery 6.0％ (15/252) (P ＜ 0.05).The thyroid permanent damage rate between resection of the majority of thyroid and resection of ipsilateral thyroid lobe + isthmus + on the side of most resection operation had no significant difference (P ＞0.05),compared with the former two,resection of ipsilateral thyroid thyroidectomy + contralateral subtotal + ipsilateral lymph node dissection operation increased significantly (P ＜0.05).Exposure of.recurrent laryrngeal nerve in benign 173 cases,6 cases of thyroid transient damage,permanent damage in 1 case; 95 cases of malignant thyroid,6 cases of thyroid transient damage,permanent damage in 2 cases,the thyroid permanent damage rate in both had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Exposure of recurrent laryngeal nerve operation can significandy reduce the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury,for the partial thyroidectomy,can chose non exposure of recurrent laryngeal nerve operation method.

Objective To investigate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on gastric cancer based on FOLFOX7 or XELOX,so as to achieve evidence of clinical practice.Methods From January 2005 to June 2010,a retrospective analysis was performed for those patients with gastric cancer and underwent surgery.The patients were divided into neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and conventional chemotherapy group according to the chemotherapy method.The clinical efficacy,Ro resection rate and survival rate were evaluated in two groups.Results A total of 185 cases were included in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group (FOLFOX7 or XELOX,113 cases) and conventional chemotherapy group (72 cases).There was no significant difference in general status between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Complete remission was in 48 cases,partial remission was in 51 cases,stable was in 14 cases,progression of disease was in 0 case in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group,and the effective rate was 87.6％ (99/113).Complete remission was in 30 cases,partial remission was in 25 cases,stable was in 15 cases,progression of disease was in 2 cases in conventional chemotherapy group,and the effective rate was 76.4％(55/72).There was significant difference in the effective rate between two groups (P＜ 0.05).The R0 resection rate in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group was higher than that in conventional chemotherapy group [60.2％ (68/113) vs.38.9％ (28/72)],and there was significant difference between two groups (P＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference in survival rate between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can reduce the tumor stage and improve the R0 resection rate,but has no obvious advantage in improving the survival rate during follow-up period.

Objective To investigate the effect of p53-gene expression on renal function in rat with low birth weight ( LBW) .Methods Fifteen pregnant rats were randomly assigned into normal group, LBW group, and L-arginine ( L-Arg)-treated group.For normal group, pregnant rats were fed with 21% protein diet during pregnancy.For LBW and L-Arg treated groups, rats were fed with 10%protein diet.After de-livery, all rats were fed with 21%protein diet.For L-Arg-treated group, rats were given a supplementation with L-Arg (200 mg/kg) drinking water during 21 d lactation, other rats were given running water.At the age of 2m, the ultrastructural change in mesangial cell and podocyte was observed with electron microscope. At the age of 7 d, 21 d, 2 m, and 3 m old, the p53 mRNA expression in renal tissues was observed with re-verse transcription polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) , blood and urine were collected to detect biochem-ical indicators of renal function and 24 h-urine protein.Results ⑴At the age of 3 m,the blood urea nitro-gen ( BUN) and urine cretinine ( UCr) in normal group were significantly lower than those in LBW group ( P <0.01).Compared to normal group, the Ucr of LBW group was significantly lower at the age of 2 m ( P<0.05).At the age of 3 m,the Ucr of L-Arg treated group and LBW group was significantly lower ( P <0.05), the level of 24 h-Urine protein was notably increased in LBW group and L-Arg treated group than that in normal group ( P <0.01, P <0.05) .⑵At the age of 3 m,the expression of p53 mRNA in LBW group was higher obviously than that in normal group.There is a significantly negative correlation between the expression of p53 mRNA and the level of Ucr in LBW group ( r =-0.91, P <0.05).⑶ There were mesangial cell proliferation with matrix increase, filtration membrane podocyte reduction, and partially dis-solved in LBW group, the mesangial cell proliferation of L-Arg treated group was decreased compared to that in LBW group.Conclusions The higher expression of p53 gene in LBW group might be one of reasons for the decreased renal function in LBW rats.

Objective To study the effect of renal p53 protein expression on kidney development in rats with intrauterine growth restriction ( IUGR) . Methods Pregnant rats were randomly assigned into normal group, IUGR group and L-Arg treated group. Normal group were fed with normal diet (21％protein). IUGR group and L-Arg treated group were fed with low-protein diet (10％ protein). During lactation, maternal rats in the three groups were all fed with normal diet. Maternal rats in L-Arg treated group were given additional special drinking water ( L-Arg:200 mg/kg) , while maternal rats in normal and IUGR group were given normal drinking water. Offspring weaned after 21 d and had free access to normal rodent diet and water. When the pups grew up to 2 m, the number of glomeruli was counted using acid digestion method, the proliferation and apoptosis of glomerular and tubular cells were studied using TUNEL and Ki-67 immunohistochemistry, and the ultrastructure of epithelial cells was determined by electron microscopy. At 7 d, 21 d, 2 m and 3 m, p53 protein expression in renal tissue was measured by Western blot, respectively. Results At 2 m, the number of glomerulus ( right kidney) in IUGR group was significantly lower than normal group [(23 647±541) vs. (27 689±492), P＜0. 01]; the index of renal cell apoptosis in IUGR group was higher than normal group [(21. 9 ± 2. 0) vs. (16. 7 ± 2. 5), P＜0. 05];however, IUGR group and normal group had no statistically significant difference (P＞0. 05). The proliferation of mesangial cells was found in IUGR and L-Arg treated group, but not in normal group. And the extent of proliferation in L-Arg treated group was lesser than IUGR group. A reduction of foot process and partial fusion of foot process could be observed in IUGR group and L-Arg treated group while the foot process morphology in normal group was normal. At 2 m and 3 m, p53 protein level in IUGR group and L-Arg treated group were higher than normal group [ 2 m: ( 0. 28 ± 0. 03 ) and ( 0. 21 ± 0. 01 ) vs. (0. 10±0. 02);3 m:(0. 39±0. 04) and (0. 26±0. 02) vs. (0. 17±0. 03);P＜0. 01], while IUGR group higher than L-Arg treated group ( P＜0. 05 ) . Conclusions The kidney of IUGR rats showed reduced glomerular number, increased renal cell apoptosis, enhanced p53 protein expression, increased proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells, decreased foot process, and partial fusion of foot process. And L-Arg could to some extent improve the organizational structure of the kidney in IUGR rats.

Objective To investigate the expression of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL) and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor(TRAILR) in thyroid carcinoma. Methods Expression and distribution of TRAIL and TRAILR in thyroid tissues from 13 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma, 3 patients with follicular thyroid carcinoma and 5 normal necrospy subjects were studied by immunohistochemical methods. Results TRAIL and all of TRAILR immunoreactivity was observed in both thyroid tissues from papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma. TRAILR4 was expressed highly in all thyroid carcinoma tissues but weakly in normal thyroid tissues.Conclusion TRAIL and all of TRAILR were present in thyroid tissues of papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma. Expression of TRAIL, TRAILR1 and TRAILR2 by thyrocytes in thyroid carcinoma may induce their apoptosis through autocrine or paracrine. Thyroid carcinoma cells were sensitive to TRAIL-inducing apoptosis despite expression of both decoy receptors. [

Objective To observe the changes of cell cycle on cancer cells after dihydroartemisinin and X-ray irradiation. Methods Human HeLa cells of cervical cancer with p53 mutation was used and human SiHa cells of cervical cancer with wild p53 was used as control. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of dihydroartemisinin (20 and 100 μmol/L) and irradiation (6 Gy)on cell cycle. Western blot was used to measure the levels of cell cycle protein. Results G2 arrest was observed in irradiated HeLa cells, which the proportion of cells in G2 phase was increased from 14.45% to 73. 58% after 6 Gy X-ray irradiation, but it was abrogated by dihydroartemisinin from 73. 58% to 48.31%in HeLa cells, and it had no change on the SiHa cells. The elevated Weel protein and the lowered Cyclin B1 protein were observed with the G2 arrest severity. The expression of radiation-induced Weel protein was suppressed and the Cyclin B1 protein was increased after dihydroartemisinin treatment, which was in accordance with the abrogation of radiation-induced G2 delay. Conclusions The main effect of irradiation on cell cycle of p53 mutated HeLa cells is G2 arrest. Dihydroartemisinin could abrogate it, which is associated with the changes of Weel protein and Cyclin B1 protein. In Siha cells, the main effect of irradiation on cell cycle is G1 arrest, and dihydroartemisinin has no effect on it.

Objective To explore the effect of early application of pediauic amino acids on extrauterine growth and development of preterm and small for gestational age infants.Methods A total of 106preterm and small for gestational age infants was selected in our NICU from June 2011 to May 2013,and randomly divided into two groups:treatment group (group T) and control group (group C).Next,each group was divided into two subgroups according to gestational age and birth weight.Such as ≥34W group (group T1,group C1),＜ 34W group (group T2,group C2),＜ 1.5 kg group (group T3,group C3) and ≥ 1.5 kg group (group T4,group C4).They were observed the effect of extrauterine growth and correlative serum biochemical indicators with application of pediatric amino acid in postnatal 6 hours and 12 hours.Resuits After 2-week treatment,the head circumference and weight growth of group T were higher than that of group C (P ＜ 0.05,or P ＜ 0.01),and the time of birth weight recovery was significantly shortened(P ＜ 0.05,or P ＜ 0.01).The incidence rate of extrauterine growth retardation(EUGR) in the group T was lower than that in group C,there is significantly statistical differences(P ＜ 0.01).The concentration of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in group T was obviously increased than that in the group C(P ＜0.01).The levels of ALT,aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin (TBIL),cholesterol (CH) and triglycerides (TG) were not different between the group T and group C.The comparison of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were statistically significant between group C4 and group T4.In the different gestational age groups,the concentration of BUN in group T was obviously higher than that in the group C after 2-week treatment(P ＜0.05),the levels of AST,TBIL,CH and TG were not different between the group T and group C (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rate of EUGR in the 4th group C was increased significantly than that in the 4th group T(P ＜0.05).Conclusions The preterm and small for gestational age infants were safe after the pediatric amino acid was used at the 6 h after birth.Amino acid can promote growth of head circumference and weight,shorten the birth weight recovery time and reduce the incidence of EUGR.

A facial allotransplanted patient presented hyperglycemia with blood glucose ranged 14. 3 -33. 3 mmol/L after receiving immunosuppressive drugs and glucocorticoids. To control the blood glucose level, the patient was treated with two subcutaneous doses of 10 U human neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin, and the fasting glucose level came down to 3. 6 - 9. 4 mmol/L. Then the continuous subcutaneous infusion of insulin aspart ( Novo Industri) was administrated (from 96 to 21 U/d) , and the fasting blood glucose levels were 3. 9 -4. 6 mmol/L. With oral administration of Metformin and Repaglinide, the fasting blood glucose was maintained to 4. 3 -5.9 mmol/L. With these medications, the blood glucose level of the patient was under good control and the acute and chronic complications of hyperglycemia were effectively prevented.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of whole brain radiotherapy combined with ectatinib hydrochloride in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) brain metastases. Methods A total of 44 patients with brain metastases from NSCLC from June 2013 to June 2017 were randomly divided into combination therapy group and radiotherapy group. The efficacy and safety between the two groups were compared. Results The median follow-up was 18.5 months. The mPFS of the combination therapy group and the radiotherapy group were 9.3 months and 6.6 months, respectively (log-rank P=0.006). The mPFS of the EGFR mutant and wild type in the combination group were12.2 months and 6.5 months (log-rank P=0.002). The mPFS of EGFR mutants and wild-type patients in the radiotherapy group were 6.4 months and 6.8 months, respectively (log-rank P=0.933). The mOS in the combination therapy group and the radiotherapy group were 14.2 months and 12.6 months, respectively (log-rank P=0.035). The mOS of the EGFR mutant and wild type in the combination group were 19.1 months and 12.7 months, respectively (log-rank P=0.006). The mOS of EGFR mutants and wild-type patients in the radiotherapy group were 12.6 months and 10.4 months, respectively (log-rank P=0.449).The ORR of the two groups was 78.3％ and 47.6％, respectively (log-rank P=0.035), and the DCR was 91.3％ and 85.7％, respectively (χ2=0.341, P=0.560).In terms of adverse reactions, the incidence of rash in the combined group was 56.5％, of which 3 cases were grade 3-4. The adverse reactions such as fatigue, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, liver and kidney damage, and leukopenia were all grade 1-2, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion Ectinib hydrochloride combined with whole brain radiotherapy can improve the objective response rate of patients with non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases, prolong the median local progression-free survival and median overall survival, and the patient's adverse reaction tolerance is good.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of different course duration of rivaroxaban for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures after artificial femoral head replacement.Methods A prospective case control study was conducted on 95 elderly cases of femoral neck fractures treated from February 2015 to July 2017.There were 18 males and 77 females,with average age of 80.8 years (range,70-98 years).There were 85 patients at stage Ⅲ and 10 at stage Ⅳ according to Garden classification.All patients received artificial femoral head replacement and were randomly divided into 3 groups (Group A:34 cases,rivaroxaban treatment for 2 weeks;Group B:31 cases,rivaroxaban treatment for 3 weeks;Group C:30 cases,rivaroxaban treatment for 5 weeks).At 2,3 and 5 weeks after operation,the patients were given 10 mg oral rivaroxaban once daily.General information,blood transfusion rate,hemoglobin volume,platelet count and DVT rate were recorded before and 6 weeks after operation.Results No significant difference among the groups in terms of division,age,body mass index,fracture classification,time interval from injury,intraoperative blood loss,quantity of drainage fluid after operation,and associated underlying diseases was observed (P ＞ 0.05).The blood transfusion rate of Groups A,B and C within 2 weeks after operation was 9％ (3/34),3％ (1/31) and 3％ (1/30) (P ＞ 0.05) respectively.The comparative difference in hemoglobin and platelet count had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).The DTV rate after operation of Groups A,B and C was 21％ (7/34),13％ (4/31) and 0,respectively.There was no significant difference between Groups B and C (P ＞ 0.05),but the difference between Groups A and C was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions For elderly patients with femoral neck fracture who underwent the artificial femoral head replacement,it is effective to prevent the occurrence of DVT by extending the course of rivaroxaban treatment to 5 weeks.In addition,it does not increase the risk of bleeding.
