1.Updates in the research of laparoscopic splenic hilar lymphadectomy for upper-third gastric cancer
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2014;13(12):991-994
Laparoscopic surgery for upper-third gastric cancer has gradually been accepted by experienced surgeons as the mature of this technique.Different from the standardized and programmed D2 lymph node dissection in Laparoscopy-assisted Billroth Ⅰ gastrectomy,the indications and methods for laparoscopic splenic hilar lymphadectomy in the upper-third gastric cancer remains controversial.Unsolved problems include joint organs resection,appropriate surgical approach selection and variable vascular anatomy of the splenic hilum.Meanwhile,the long-term efficacy and safety of laparoscopic splenic hilar lymphadectomy for the upper-third gastric surgery need to be confirmed by evidence-based medical trials.With the advance of the theory and clinical practice,laparoscopic splenic hilar lymph node dissection will continue to progress.

BACKGROUND:Currently, inhaled glucocorticoid is still the classic treatment for asthma. Adult stem cell transplantation has made significant progress in a variety of diseases, and it also provides new insights into the treatment of asthma.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the recent advances in the treatment of asthma with adipose-derived stem cells and related adult stem cells, and to discuss the therapeutic safety of adipose-derived stem cells and possible research directions in asthma therapy.METHODS:Relevant articles published from 2001 to 2016 were searched in PubMed, CBM, CNKI, and Wanfang databases. The keywords were (adipose-derived stem cells[All Fields]) OR (adipose stem cells[All Fields]) OR (adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells[All Fields]) AND (asthma[All Fields]) in English and Chinese, respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 125 literatures were initially searched, and finally 54 representative papers were selected. Adipose-derived stem cells may reduce airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, ease collagen deposition and scar tissue formation, promote neovascularization, and reconstruct damaged airways in the mouse asthma model through immune regulation. It is necessary to understand its treatment mechanism of action deeply and comprehensively and carry out genomic analysis before introduction of adipose-derived stem cells as a conventional clinical treatment. In summary, adipose-derived stem cells may be a therapeutic potential for the treatment of airway allergic inflammatory diseases such as asthma.

Objective To develop a protocol for ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on hepatic tumors larger than 3.5 cm in diameter, and to evaluate its role in ablation treatment. Methods Mathematical analysis was performed to generate the preoperative protocol which included the least ablation (sphere) number and the optimal overlapping mode and procedure for adequately ablating a large and spherical target lesion. The target ablation volume consisted of a tumor plus a 0.5- 1.0 cm tumor-free margin. The operation method for electrode placement was also described. Based on this mathematical protocol, 113 patients with 124 hepatic tumors [( 4.75? 0.92)cm in diameter, ranging from 3.6- 7.0 cm] were enrolled and treated. Seventy-one patients had 76 primary and 42 had 48 metastatic hepatic tumors. Results Totally 554 ablations (electrode placements) were performed in 124 tumors. The tumor complete necrosis rate was 87.9% (109/124), the local recurrence rate 24.2% (30/124), the estimated mean time to local recurrence 17.3 months. Twenty-five patients had received 38 retreatments for the local recurrence (17 received one time, and 8 received two or three times). Major complications were found in 7 patients (6.2 %). Of them, only one patient who suffered from colon perforation one week after RFA treatment required surgical intervention. Conclusions A theoretic basis and clinical guidance in RFA of hepatic tumors larger than 3.5 cm might be provided. Treatment results indicated that the protocol might probably be used to improve complete necrosis rate and reduce local recurrence rate in ablation therapy. The protocol was firmed effective and feasible.

To analyze the reasons of injuries during surgical practices and explore the hazards and the corresponding preventive measures. The surgical interns don't receive enough training of injury prevention. They don't pay enough attention to the occupational prevention and are not skilled in operation, which causes high rate of sharp edged instrument injuries. Therefore, a perfect plan of education, training and treatment must be made to reduce the occupational injuries and blood sourced diseases.
