Objective To investigate the effects of ω-3 fatty acids (FA) on inflammatory reaction and immunologic function of patients after hepatectomy. Methods Totally 82 patients were randomized into control group and ω-3 FA group. Both groups received parenteral nutrition (PN) with equal nitrogen and calories. Patients in the control group received medium and long-chain lipid emulsion, and those in the ω-3 FA group received ω-3 FA combined with medium and long-chain lipid emulsion. Liver function test (serum total protein, prealbumin, albumin ,aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase) , blood coagulation function (international normalized ratio) , immune globubin (IgA, IgG, and IgM) , CD3 and CD4/CD8 were measured on the first, third, and seventh post-operative day. Results Serum total protein in the ω-3 FA group [(61. 40 ±5. 12) g/L] was significantly higher than in the control group [(58. 54 ± 5. 53 ) g/L] (P = 0. 018 ) . Aspartate aminotransferase in the ω-3 FA group [(32. 37 ± 11. 92) U/L] was significantly lower than in the control group [(42. 50 ± 29. 97) U/L] (P = 0. 048). IgA in the ω-3 FA group [(2. 67 ± 1. 01) g/L] was significantly higher than in the control group [(2. 15 ±0.77) g/L] (P=0.027). IL-1β in the ω-3 FA group [(7.88 ±6.45) pg/ml] was significantly lower than in the control group [(12. 98 ± 11. 07) pg/ml] (P = 0.034). IL-2 in the ω-3 FA group [(24.98±20.38) pg/ml] was significantly lower than the control group [(43. 09 ± 20. 74) pg/ml] (P = 0.002). The white blood cell counts and coagulation function were not significantly different between two groups. Conclusion Total PN containing ω-3 FA can effectively improve immunologic function and liver function of patients after hepatectomy.

Objective To compare early enteral with parenteral nutrional support in patients after hepatectomy. Methods In this study, 59 patients were randomized into 2 groups to respectively receive enteral or parenteral nutritional support beginning the first day post-op for a week. The general nutrition condition, liver function, gut function, dosage of albumin, mortality, complication rate and expense were recorded. Results Patients were given same quantity of heat and nitrogen. At the end of the study, serum albumin, body weight and upper arm circumference had not reached the preoperative level in patients receiving enteral mutrition while all except for serum prealbumin had not reached the level in parenterally nutritional patients. Furthermore, the time of gut begins functional (29?12) h in enterally nutritional patients was shorter than in parenterally nutritional patients (38?14) h. Enteral nutrition was more economic than parenteral nutrition (P

Objective To study the clinical manifestations,endoscopic features,pathological features,treatment and prognosis of patients with duodenal neuroendocrine carcinoma (DNEC).Methods The clinical data of 9 patients with duodenal neuroendocrine carcinoma who were admitted to our hospital from December 2006 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 6 males and 3 females.The mean age was 61.5 years (range 48 ～75 years).The clinical manifestations were abdominal pain (n =7),jaundice (n =4),melena (n =1) and asymptomatic (n =1).The DNEC was usually solitary in the duodenum.The operations included duodenopancreatectomy (n =5),surgical resection (n =2),subtotal gastrectomy (n =1),and 1 patient was palliated by common bile duct stenting using an endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatographic (ERCP) approach.The patients were followed up for 3 ～ 40 months after operation.For the 5 patients who underwent radical excision 4 were alive.One patient died from liver metastasis.For the 4 patients who underwent palliative therapy,one was alive,two died and one lost to follow-up.Conclusions The clinical manifestations of duodenal neuroendocrine carcinoma were non-specific.Endoscopic,pathologic and immumohisotochemical tests were important in the diagnosis.Surgical resection improved the prognosis of these patients.

Objective: To explore the changes and signiifcance of serum level of salusins in patients with essential hypertension (EH), obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and OSAHS complicated hypertension.

Conclusion: Low serum levels of salusin-α and salusin-β were related to OSAHS complicated hypertension.

Background and purpose:Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The ENKTL incidence in China is much higher than that in the Western countries. The disease is highly malignant, not sensitive to chemotherapy, has short survival period and poor prognosis. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection has close relationship with the development of the disease. However, there are still a few patients without EBV infection. This study aimed to discuss the clinical features and prognosis of EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER) in situ hybridization negative ENKTL.Methods:From Aug. 2011 to Oct. 2015, 326 cases were diagnosed with ENKTL from the First Affliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The expression of EBER was detected by in situ hy-bridization technique. The clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis of EBER-negative patients were analyzed. Results:In 326 patients with ENKTL, the negative rate of EBER was 2.45% (8/326). In 8 EBER-negative patients, the median survival time was 17 months. The log-rank test revealed that there was a signiifcant difference between EBER-negative and EBER-positive curves (χ2=6.407,P=0.011). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that in EBER-negative ENKTL, only lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) predicted survival time (P=0.008). EBV-DNA copy number in plasma was not signiifcantly correlated with survival time (P>0.05).Conclusion:The inci-dence of EBER-negative ENKTL is low. Patients with EBER-negative ENKTL have poorer prognosis than EBER-posi-tive patients. Elevated LDH may be a factor indicating poor prognosis.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features in-termediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma (DLBCL/BL). Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 13 DLBCL/BL patients, who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2013 and December 2014, were collected. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Through the log-rank test, survival curves were compared among groups classified by clinical stage, age, serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) lev-el, international prognostic index (IPI) score, or first chemotherapy regimen. Results:Among the 13 patients with DLBCL/BL, 12 pa-tients showed extra-nodal involvement. The median OS and PFS were only 10 and 6 months, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the LDH levels and IPI scores exerted statistically significant effects on prognosis. Some borderline differences in survival were not-ed among the CHOP, CHOP-like, and intensive chemotherapy groups. Conclusion:DLBCL/BL is an aggressive B-cell lymphoma with a short survival time. The majority of patients presented extra-nodal involvement. DLBCL/BL did not respond well to CHOP or CHOP-like regimen, and more intensive chemotherapy may improve survival. Elevated LDH levels and high IPI scores were predictors of poor sur-vival.

Objective To investigate the suitable mode of cognitive-behavioral therapy for lung transplant recipients during waiting for lung and evaluate the effect to improve patients' physical and mental state.Methods 50 cases were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group,each group with 25 cases.The control group received conventional treatment.The experimental group received cognitive-behavioral therapy in addition to conventional treatment.SAS and vital signs were measured in the two groups on admission,2 weeks and 4 weeks after admission.Results The SAS score of the experimental group was lower than the control group 2 weeks and 4 weeks after admission and SAS score decreased as the intervention extended.The SBp of the experimental group was lower than the control group 4 weeks after admission.There was no significant difference of DBp between two groups.The heart rate of the experimental group was lower than the control group 4 weeks after admission.The heart rate of the experimental group was lower on 2 weeks and 4 weeks after admission than on admission.4weeks after admission,the respiratory rate of the experimental group was lower than the control group and on admission.Conclusions Cognitive-behavioral therapy can reduce the level of anxiety and keep vital signs stable with good feasibility and effectiveness.

Objective To investigate the prognosis of patients with primary liver cancer in different pathological types after hepatectomy,and to analyze the effects of clinicopathological factors on the survival.Methods The clinical data of 567 patients with primary liver cancer who received hepatectomy at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 1997 to December 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) group,cholangiocarcinoma (CC) group and combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) group.The survival and risk factors of the patients were analyzed.All data were analyzed by using the chi-square test,t test,analysis of variance.The survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method and the survival of the 3 groups was compared by the Log-rank test.The risk factors were analyzed by the one-way analysis of variance and COX regression model.Results The results of pathological examination confirmed that 92.9％ (527/567) patients were with HCC,4.6％ (26/576) with CC and 2.5％ (14/567)with cHCC-CC.The median cumulative survival time of patients with HCC was 48 months,which was significantly longer than 19 months of patients with CC and 14 months of patients with cHCC-CC (Log-rank value =4.354,8.847,P ＜ 0.05).The median tumor-free survival time of patients with HCC was 26 months,which was significantly longer than 9 months of patients with CC and 9 months of patients with cHCC-CC (Log-rank value =6.479,7.708,P ＜ 0.05).The tumor recurrence rate within 1 year of patients with HCC was 28.8％ (152/527),which was significantly lower than 57.7％ (15/26) of patients with CC or 9/14 of patients with cHCC-CC (F =17.046,P ＜ 0.05).No vascular thrombosis was detected in patients with CC,but the regional lymph node metastasis rate was 19.2％ (5/26),which was significantly higher than 2.8％ (15/527) of patients with HCC (x2 =19.082,P ＜ 0.05).Level of alpha-fetoprotein,TNM staging,tumor diameter,multiple foci,liver capsule invasion,satellite foci and lymph node metastasis were risk factors for the survivals of patients with primary liver cancer after hepateetomy (x2 =8.648,118.786,59.548,7.639,13.200,43.842,15.540,P ＜ 0.05).Vascular tumor thrombosis and Child-Pugh classification were the risk factors for the survivals of patients with HCC or cHCC-CC (x2 =70.446,6.230,P ＜ 0.05).TNM staging,tumor diameter,satellite foci and vascular tumor thrombusis were the independent risk factors for the survivals of patients with primary liver cancer (RR =1.420,1.050,1.513,1.899,P ＜ 0.05) ; TNM staging,tumor diameter and vascular tumor thrombosis were the independent risk factors for the survivals of patients with HCC (RR =1.432,1.888,1.052,P ＜ 0.05).TNM staging and tumor diameter were the independent risk factors for the survivals patients with CC (RR =1.473,1.503,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Although CC and cHCC-CC take small proportion in the primary liver cancer,the tumor recurrence rate is higher and the survival rate is lower when compared with patients with HCC.
