Objective To compare complication,nutritional status and quality of life between total gastrectomy and jejuna interposition after proximal radical gastrectomy in patients with advanced proximal gastric carcinoma.Methods Eighty-five patients with proximal stomach cancer were enrolled from Jan.2002 to Dec.2008,total gastrectomy group(Control group) had 40 cases,jejuna interposition after proximal radical gastrectomy(Experimental group) included 45 cases.Nutritional status,incidence of reflux esophagitis and cholecystolithiasis,5-year survival rate,quality of life were investigated.Results There was no significant difference in 5-year survival rate between two groups(P ＞ 0.05).Incidence of reflux esophagitis in Experimental group was significantly lower than that in Control group(P =0.042).Incidence of cholecystolithiasis in Experimental group was significantly lower than that in Control group (P =0.038).Hemoglobin,albumin,vitamin B12 and ferritin in Experimental group were significantly higher than those in Control group[(142.2 ±8.6) vs (128.4 ±8.4),(41.3 ±5.8) vs (35.9 ±3.8),(271.5 ± 49.7) vs (184.5 ± 24.6),(220.2 ± 59.7) vs (170.2 ± 27.6),P =0.036,0.024,0.032,0.026].Diet and labor in Experimental group were better than those in Control group (P =0.042,0.048).Conclusion Jejuna interposition after proximal radical gastrectomy decrease incidences of reflux esophagitis and cholecystolithiasis,improve nutritional status and quality of life.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM: To discuss the relevance between the pathogenesis of diabetic gastroparesis and the large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels ( BKCa ) in gastric smooth muscle cells.METHODS:The SD rats were randomly divided into control group and model group.The gastric smooth muscle cells of the SD rats were enzymatically iso-lated in a low calcium solution containing papain.The current was recorded by patch clamp single channel recording tech-nique.The expression of KCNMA and KCNMB1 were observed by the method of immunohistochemistry.RESULTS:The value of BKCa single channel conductance was (220.10 ±10.90) pS;the channels had distinct voltage dependent and cal-cium dependent characteristics.In outside-out patch (Vm =+30 mV), the activation of BKCa was blocked by 200 nmol/L IbTX completely.Compared with control group, the open probability and amplitude of current in model group significant-ly increased, while the mean open time and mean close time significantly decreased.Compared with control group, the ex-pression of KCNMB1 in model group was significantly increased.CONCLUSION: Up-regulation of β1-subunit and in-crease in BKCa functional activities may be associated with diabetes gastroparesis in rats.

Objective To compare the clinical performance of the self-etching and the phosphoric acid etching adhesive system for restoration of non-carious Class V restorations for a period of two years.Methods There were 37 patients with at least one pairs of similar-sized non-carious cervical lesions participated in the study.120 restorations were placed by one operator,of which 60 with phosphoric acid etching adhesive system(Spectrum TPH,Prime& Bond)and 60 with self-etch(Clearfil AP-X,SE Bond).The restorations were evaluated by ?2 statistics at the baseline,6th,12th and 24th month according to the modified Ryge"s USPHS criteria.Results At two years,106 teeth were reviewed in 33 patients.The retention rates for self-etching adhesive system were 89% and for phosphoric acid etching adhesive system 77%.The percentage of the retention rates of both adhesive systems was not found to be different when calculating the failure rates.No cases in both adhesive systems showed slight marginal discoloration problems.Some cases for each adhesive system had slight color change after the same period.Conclusions The performance of both adhesive systems is excellent during this two-year clinical trial.The self-etch adhesive system exhibites slightly better coloar match than the phosphoric acid etching system.

Visual dysfunction is a common complication in cerebral palsy, including low visual acuity, refractive errors, strabismus, abnormal visual field, absent stereopsis, abnormal fundoscopic fingdings and nystagmus, etc. Low visual acuity is reported in almost three-quarters of patients.The incidence of strabismus is 39%～50% and nystagmus is 9.5%. Periventricular leukomalacia, introventricular hemorrhage and low birth weight are risk factors of visual dysfunctions in cerebral palsy.

Objective To evaluate the effects of celecoxib on tumor growth,COX-2 and survivin expressions and angiogenesis in nude mice. Methods Xenograft animal model was established by injecting human colon cancer HT-29 cells into the BALB/c nude mice subcutaneously. Fifty mice were randomly divided into 4 groups 16 d after injection:control group,celecoxib group(receiving 25,50,75,100 mg?kg-1?d-1 for 35 d). Tumor volumes were measured every week. The expression level of COX-2,survivin and the microvessel density (MVD) of the xenograft tumor tissues were measured by immunohistochemistry,and mRNA level of VEGF by RT-PCR. Results Celecoxib at dose of 25,50,75 and 100 mg?kg-1?d-1 inhibited the tumor volume by 34.94%,39.20%,53.50%,59.20% respectively,and showed more effective in suppressing the tumor growth than the control group(P

Objective To investigate the role of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) compounded with bioprotein gel (Bg) in repair of knee articular cartilage defects of rabbits.Methods Bilateral femoral condylar cartilage defect models (3.5 mm in diameter and 3 mm in depth) were established in 36 healthy New Zealand rabbits.Animals were divided into three groups of 12 rabbits each according to the random number table:BMSCs-Bg group,Bg group and blank control group.Effect of repair was evaluated by anatomic observation and histological examination at 4,8,12 and 16 weeks after operation and by articular cartilage histological hemi-quantitative scoring system.Results Hyaline-like cartilage was noted in BMSCs-Bg group at 4 weeks postoperatively,got close to the normal at 8 and 12 weeks and showed no disintegration at 16 weeks.Only fibrous tissue or fibrocartilage was observed in other 2 groups.In BMSCs-Bg group histology scores were (4.5 ± 0.1) points,(4.9 ± 0.1) points,(5.5 ± 0.1) points,and (6.2 ± 0.1) points respectively at 4,8,12 and 16 weeks,higher than those in other 2 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Besides,the histology scores were higher in Bg group than in blank control group but the differences were insignificant.Conclusion BMSCs-Bg compound can well repair the articular cartilage defect in a short-term period,when Bg contributes to cartilage generation as a good cell carrier.

Objective To investigate the effect of different durations of low-concentration isoflurane anesthesia on the expression of 2B subunits-containing N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NR2B) in the hippocampus of mice.Methods Forty C57BL/6 mice, aged 10 weeks, weighing 20-24 g, were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table: control group (group C);0.7％-1.0％ isoflurane inhaled for 30 min group (group I1);0.7％-1.0％ isoflurane inhaled for 2 h group (group I2);0.7％-1.0％ isoflurane inhaled for 4 h group (group I3);0.7％-1.0％ isoflurane inhaled for 6 h group (group I4).Morris water maze test was carried out at 48 h after the end of anesthesia, and the escape latency and frequency of crossing the original platform were recorded.The mice were sacrificed after the end of the test, and the hippocampi were removed for determination of the expression of activated caspase-3 and NR2B (using Western blot analysis).Results Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly shortened, and the frequency of crossing the original platform was increased in I1 and I2 groups, no significant changes were found in the activated caspase-3 expression, and the expression of NR2B was up-regulated in I1, I2 and I3 groups, and the escape latency was prolonged, the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased, the activated caspase-3 expression was up-regulated, and the expression of NR2B was down-regulated in group I4.Conclusion The mechanism underlying the effect produced by different durations of low-concentration isoflurane anesthesia on the cognitive function is related to the expression of NR2B in the hippocampus of mice.

Objective To study the clinical features of visual dysfunction in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and related factors. Methods Between 2006 and 2009, one hundred and sixty-three children (aged 4 to 108months, mean age 29.05 ± 20.51 months) with CP at Qingdao's Rehabilitation Center for Disabled Children were enrolled into this study, including 117 boys and 46 girls. All the children were retrospectively reviewed for perinatal risk factors. Ophthalmologists examined their visual parameters, including refraction, visual acuity, eye position and movement, and fundoscopy. Results Among the 163 children, 61 had visual dysfunctions, an occurrence rate of 37.4%. They included refractive errors in 39 (23.9%) , strabismus in 50 (30.7%) , abnormal eye movement in 26(15.9%) , and abnormal fundoscopic findings in 13 (7.9%). Thirty-seven children's visual acuity was examined,and 19 of them (51.4%) had low visual acuity. Patients who showed periventicular leukomalacia (PVL) or lesions in the occipital lobe on MRI examination had a high incidence of visual dysfunction. Preterm and low birth-weight were risk factors for visual dysfunction in these CP children. Conclusions Visual dysfuntion is a common complication in CP children. Early ophthalmological assessment and intervention are important for CP children.
