Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2008;23(12):907-910
Objective To improve the resection rate of central type hepatoma. Method Under selective exclusion of hepatic blood flow and the use of caritational ultrasonic surgical aspiration (CUSA), hepatectomy of central hepatic segments was performed for liver tumors. Result There were 46 cases in this group. Preoperative hepatic function was Child A in 43 cases and Child B in 3 cases. Regional entire bloodstream was excluded ranging from 8 to 33 minutes in 39 cases, Intraoperative blood loss was 100 to 2400 ml,the average was 490 ml. Postoperative hepatic function recovery to Child A grade in 43 cases within one week, postoperative aacites developed in 3 cases, jaundice in 1 case, biliary fistula in 1 case, gastroplegia in 1 case. One patient died of myocardial infarction 3 days postoperatively. Thirty-five malignant cases were followed-up with a mean period of 9 months, one died of intraabdominal metastasis 10 months postoperatively, the other 34 cases was alive without recurrence. Conclusion Hepatic regional entire bloodstream exclusion is effective in the control of intraoperative blood loss ; Hypersound-emulsifying- attractor separates blood vessels and bile ducts in hepatic hilar region. The combination of these two techniques helps in the resection of central hepatic tumors.

10.Effects of Fuzheng Yiliu Granule on expression of CD44v6 and nm23-H1 in esophageal carcinoma treated with radiotherapy
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2004;2(4):262-4
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of Fuzheng Yiliu Granule on the expression of CD44v6 and nm23-H1 in esophageal carcinoma treated with radiotherapy. METHODS: Sixty-three cases of esophageal carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups: Fuzheng Yiliu Granule plus radiotherapy treated group (n=30) and radiotherapy treated group (n=33). The carcinoma specimens were obtained through endoscopic biopsy before and after twenty-one days of treatment. The expression of CD44v6 and nm23-H1 was determined in the sixty-three specimens of esophageal carcinoma by immunohistochemical SABC methods. RESULTS: After twenty-one days of treatment, the positive rates of CD44v6 in the Fuzheng Yiliu Granule plus radiotherapy treated group and the radiotherapy treated group were 40.0% and 69.7%, respectively, and there was significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The positive rates of nm23-H1 in the Fuzheng Yiliu Granule plus radiotherapy treated group and the radiotherapy treated group were 20.0% and 21.2%, respectively, and the difference was not significant between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Fuzheng Yiliu Granule can lower the expression of CD44v6 in esophageal carcinoma, and may prevent infiltration and lymph node metastasis of esophageal carcinoma.
