Objective To compare the probability of anastomotic leak in the Chinese patients with carcinoma of esophagus using anastomat anastomose and manual anastomose in order to provide some refer -ence for patients with carcinoma of esophagus .Methods By meta-analysis, we made a comprehensive a-nalysis of 12 literatures published in China on anastomat anastomose and manual anastomose in preventing anastomotic leak in patients with carcinoma of esophagus .Results The probability of anastomotic leak in patients with carcinoma of esophagus was obvious heighten in using anastomat anastomose compared to that in using manual anastomose,with the combined odds ratio(OR)value being 0.53(95%CI:0.40-0.71) >0,( P <0.01 ).Conclusion To preventing anastomotic leak in patients with carcinoma of esophagus , anastomat anastomose is more predominant than manual anastomose .

Three cases of renal pelvic neoplasm associated with staghorn calculi were enrolled to the study from March 2015 to June 2019. All patients underwent minimally invasive procedures previously including extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy(FURL), or percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL). 3 patients of renal pelvic neoplasm with giant staghorn calculus were diagnosed by resection biopsy during laparoscopic pyelolithotomy intraoperatively and then treated by laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LRNU). Case 1 was identified retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis 16 months after operation. Case 2 and 3 remained disease free. The timely diagnosis of renal pelvic neoplasm associated with staghorn calculi is always difficult, nevertheless, the laparoscopic pyelolithotomy with resection biopsy intraoperatively can be more effective in selected cases compared with routine endoscopic biopsy.

Objective To investigate the levels of oxidative stress in liver tissues of hepatocelluar carcinoma(HCC)patients after transcatheter arterial chemotherapy(TAC).Methods Immunohistochemistry streptavidin biotinylated peroxidase(S-P)method was used to detect the cellular levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine(8-OHdG),p53 and p21~(waf1/cip1).Eighty-nine HCC patients were divided into TAC group(39 cases)and Non-TAC group(50 cases).15 Non-HCC liver tissues served as controls.Result 8-OHdG level was higher in Non-TAC group than that in TAC group in tumor tissues (F=9.516,P＜0.05),with that being the lowest in control group(F=9.516,P＜0.01);8-OHdG levels in cancer tissues were significantly higher than that in tumor surrounding tissues in both TAC group (t=7.101,P＜0.001)and Non-TAC group(t=8.020,P＜0.001),there was no significant difference of 8-OHdG levels between para-tumor tissues and controls.The levels of 8-OHdG between tumor and its surrounding tissues in TAC group(r=0.651,P＜0.001)and non-TAC group(r=0.493,P＜0.01)was in positive correlation.The difference of p53 levels in cancer tissues in TAC group and Non-TAC group were not statistically significant and p53 was not detected in para-tumor tissues.The difference of p21~(waf1/cip1) levels among TAC group,Non-TAC group and controls was statistically significant,the levels of p21~(waf1/cip1) in normal group was the highest(F=13.459,P＜0.001),followed by that in TAC and Non-TAC group in cancer tissues(TAC vs.Non-TAC group,P＜0.01);p21~(waf1/cip1) expression in normal controls was significantly higher than that in both TAC and Non-TAC group in para-tumor tissues(F=16.613,P＜0.001).The correlation of p21 ~(waf1/cip1) levels between tumor and its surrounding tissues was significant in non-TAC group(r=0.872,P＜0.001).Conclusions Oxidative stress levels in HCC tumor tissues were higher than in para-tumor tissues and non-HCC liver tissues.Cancer cells probably survive chemotherapy by fortifying oxidative stress repair mechanism.
