The delta-shaped anastomosis is an emerging operation method in digestive tract reconstruction following total laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG).With the advantages of small surgical trauma,short anastomosis time and simple manipulation,it has been gradually accepted by surgeons.However,restricted by small manipulation range,restrictive visual range and large anastomotic lumen,there are controversies in complete resection of tumor,intraoperative indexes,postoperative recovery and prevention and treatment of complications about TLDG with delta-shaped anastomosis.In this paper,the operative indications,intraoperative indexes and postoperative recovery of TLDG with delta-shaped anastomosis were reviewed.

Objective To analyze the postoperative quality of life index and survival of Ⅱ,Ⅲ type adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) patients who were implemented radical surgery through the transthoracic approach or abdominal transhiatal approach.To explore the reasonable operative approach of Ⅱ,Ⅲ type AEG.Methods 139 cases of patients with Ⅱ,Ⅲ type AEG were prospectively enrolled into the group in Shanxi Cancer Hospital during March 2012 to September 2012.64 cases of them were in transthoracic approach (TT) group,and 75 cases in abdominal transhiatal approach (TH) group.The operative time,the residual incision margin cancer rate,the average number of lymph node dissection,postoperative hospital stay,the average number of days required for gastrointestinal function recovery,the incidence of cardiopulmonary complications,anastomotic leakage rate,postoperative bleeding rate,perioperative mortality,postoperative respiratory function decline rate within 1 year,the average weight loss after 1 year,postoperative reflux rate within 1 year,recurrence and metastasis rate within 1 year,and 1-year survival rate of two groups were respectively compared.Results Statistical analysis was done on the perioperative data of 139 patients,and regular follow-up was carried out for these 139 patients after they discharged from hospital,of which 26 cases were lost,the lost rate was 18.7 ％,so the followed-up cases were 113 cases.Postoperative hospital stay in transthoracic approach group was longer than abdominal transhiatal approach group with significant difference,(20.2±8.9) d vs (17.1±6.4) d (P ＜ 0.05),the average number of lymph node dissection in transthoracic approach group (15.2±7.5) was less than abdominal transhiatal approach group (23.0±13.0) with significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).No significant difference were observed in the operative time,the residual incision margin cancer rate,the average number of days required for gastrointestinal function recovery,the incidence of cardiopulmonary complications,anastomotic leakage rate,postoperative bleeding rate,perioperative mortality,postoperative respiratory function decline rate within 1 year,the average weight loss after 1 year,postoperative reflux rate within 1 year,recurrence and metastasis rate within 1 year,and 1-year survival rate of the two operation approaches (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Abdominal approach,through the esophageal hiatus radical surgery is a preferred operative approach of Ⅱ,Ⅲ type AEG.The average number of lymph node dissection in abdominal transhiatal approach group was more than transthoracic approach group.It may have some influence on the prognosis.

Objective To study the feasibility and safety of laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. Methods From June, 2006 to July 2009, 11 patients with gastric cancer received laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy for gastric cancer. According to UICC TNM classification of gastric cancer, 6 cases were with Stage Ⅱ, 2 cases with Stage Ⅲ A, 1 case with Stage Ⅲ B, and 2 cases with Stage Ⅳ. Under the assistance of laparoscope, dissociation of the stomach and lymph nodes clearance were performed first; then gastrectomy was performed on a 6 cm incision, samples were collected, and alimentary tract was inoculated. Results Among the 11 cases, 2 cases were performed radical total gastrectomy, 1 case was performed proximal partial gastrectomy, 7 cases were performed distal partial gastrectomy and 1 case with open surgery. The mean operation time: 350 min for total gastrectomy, 320 min for proximal partial gastrectom,266 min for distal partial gastrectomy. The mean number of harvested lymph nodes was 21.3 (11-38), incisal edge was 5.6 (4.0-9.6) cm. The mean time was 72 (36-110) hrs for gastrointestinal function recovery, 59 (26-86) hrs for patients to take general activity, and 76 (48-116) hrs to take liquid food. No complication was observed. Conclusion Laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer is safe and feasible. Compared with open surgery, it also has the advantages of small wound and fast recovery.

Objective To probe into the characteristics of strain and strain rate in different time points of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients before and after the improvement of myocardial ischemia, to evaluate the value of two-dimensional strain (2DS) imaging in assessing curative effect of CAD patients. Methods The changes of strain and strain rate in local lesion segments before revascularization,and one week,one month and three months after revascularization of 24 CAD patients accepting revascularization therapy were detected by 2DS. Results Before revascularization treatment,the outlines of strain-time curves and strain-rate-time curves of lesion segments of CAD patients in whole cardiac circle were cluttered. The peak strain (S),the peak systolic strain rate (SRS) and the peak early diastolic strain rate (SRE) were low and calm. The peaks of strain-time curves in some segments of CAD patients were inverted. One week after treatment,the S, SRS,SRE and the peak late diastolic strain rate (SRA) of lesion segments of CAD cases elevated to certain extent. However, there were no statistical significant differences between them (P0.05). One month after treatment,the S and SRE of lesion segments of CAD patients elevated significantly compared to that of before the treatment (P<0.01). Three months after treatment,the outlines of strain-time curves and strain-rate-time curves of lesion segments of CAD patients trended to be regular,and the S, SRS, SRE and SRA elevated markedly compared to that of before treatment (P<0.01). There were statistical significant differences in terms of the S, SRS and SRA compared to that of one week and one month after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusions 2DS can evaluate the strain and strain rate non-invasively and quantitatively at different time points after revascularization of CAD patients. And it can evaluate regional myocardial systolic and diastolic function for CAD patients.

Objective To probe into the value of the evaluation of left ventricular myocardial function by two dimensional strain(2DS) for coronary artery disease(CAD) patients with different degrees of left anterior descending(LAD) branch stenosis. Methods Fifty-five eases without myocardial infarction among a total of 72 patients with CAD were divided in to 3 groups based on the extent of LAD stenosis,that was group A(stenosis<50%, n = 24) ,group B(stenosis50% to 75%, n = 19) ,and group C(stenosis>75%, n = 12). Another 17 eases of CAD with myocardial infarction were selected as group D. Strain and strain rate of the whole 11 segments that blood supplied by LAD of all cases were measured with 2DS. Results The 2DS ultrasound showed that the peak strain(S), the peak systolic strain rate(SRs) and the peak early diastolic strain rate (SRE) in all the 11 segments of group A were high and sharp. The above mentioned parameters of group B decreased compared with that of group A, however, there was no statistical significant difference (P >0.05). The S, SRs and SRE of group C cases decreased in some segments compared with that of group A and group B (P< 0.05 or P<0.01). As for group D, the S, SRS and SRE decreased significantly in all segments. In terms of the peak late diastolic strain rate (SRA), there were no statistical significant differences among group A,B and C (P>0.05). While in group D cases, the SRA decreased markedly. The SRE/SRA was more than 1 in group A. However, in group B, C and D cases, the SRE/SRA were all less than 1. Conclusions 2DS can sensitively reflect the decrease of regional myocardial systolic and diastolic function caused by the reduction of perfusion,and it may be beneficial to find myocardial ischemia for patients as early as possible.

Background Inflammation is one of the most popular aspects in the studies of diabetic retinopathy (DR) mechanisms.Researches showed that S100A8/A9 participate in the inflammatory procedure of many diseases,however,the relationship between S100A8/A9 complex and retinal inflammation of DR needs to be researched.Objective This study was to detect the serum S100A8/A9 level of diabetes mellitus (DM) and DR patients,and explore its role in DM an DR development.Methods A cases-controlled study was carried out.The DR patients,type 2 DM patients without retinal change and heathy controls were enrolled in Shanghai Xuhui Central Hospital from January to June 2014,and 30 patients for each group.The DR patients were subgrouped to non-proliferative DR (NPDR) group and proliferative DR (PDR) group.The periphery blood was collected to isolate the serum,and serum S100A8/A9 complex level was detected by ELISA.Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and glycosylated hemoglobin A1C (HbAlc) level was assayed by immunity turbidimetry and immune agglutination respectively.Results Serum S100A8/A9 complex levels in the DR group,DM group and normal control group were (9.74±0.59),(11.41 ±0.64) and (6.46 ±0.62) μg/L,respectively,and the serum S100A8/A9 complex level in the DM group and DR group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group,and the serum S100A8/A9 complex level in the DM group raised in compared with the DR group (all at P＜0.01).Serum hsCRP levels in the DR group,DM group and normal control group were (1.40±0.34),(1.27±0.13) and (1.11 ± 0.12)mg/L,respectively,with the highest value in the DR group and the lowest value in the normal control group (all at P=0.00).The serum HbAlc levels were higher in the DR group and DM group than those in the normal control group (both at P =0.00),while no significant difference was found in the serum HbAlc level between DR group and DM group (P =0.12).There was no significant differece in the serum S100A8/A9,hsCRP and HbAlc levels between NPDR group and PDR group (t=-0.10,P =0.92;t =-0.17,P =0.87;t =0.66,P =0.51).A weak positive correlation was seen between serum S100A8/A9 level and serum hsCRP level (r =0.36,P =0.00).Conclusions As an inflammatory marker,S100A8/A9 complex might play an important role in the pathogenesis and development of DR.Intensive control of glycemia can alleviate retinal inflammation in DM patients.

In order to clarify the limitative factors in the management of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) especially the problems of the complicated multiple organ failure (MOF),70 cases of SAP,of which 17 were complicated with MOF,admitted to our hospital in the past 16 years were reviewed.The overall mortality rate of the series was 20.0% (14/70),and the death of 12 cases out of the 14 was associated with MOF (85.7%) and that of the other 2 with single organ failure (14.3%).MOF occurred in 17 cases with a mortality rate of 70.0%.Two patterns of MOF manifestations identified:A rapid single-phase of MOF was found in 7 cases.It developed rather early after the onset of SAP and was associated with severe pancreatic necrosis and early shock.And a delayed two-phaseof MOF was seen in 10 cases.It developed progressively with a lagging interval and from the pancre-atic necrosis and subsequent infection.The clinical manifestations of MOF were characterized by a severe and systemic inflammatory response.It is believed that the systemic inflammatory response trigged by the septic material released from the pancreatic necrotic focus seems to be the pathological channel to link SAP with MOF.

Objective To isolate the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) from the GFP-expressing mouse, and to study the osteoblastic differentation of the cells. Methods MSCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation, then the clutrued cells were induced to osteoblastic differentiation using the conditional medium. We detectd the expression of GFP and MSCs differentiation into osteoblasts by histochemistry and immunochemistry. Results The MSCs maintained the expression of GFP during expanded and induced process. After induced for 10 days, lots of alkaline phosphatase and osteoclcin staining positive cells were observed.Conclusion The MSCs of GFP-expressing mouse were successfully isolated and differentiated into ostoblasts. It may be valuable for tracing the seeding cells in tissue engineering bone.
