Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods The clinical data of 85 elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer who were admitted to the Ningbo First Hospital from January 2012 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy was performed on 46 patients (LRG group) and open radical gastrectomy on 39 patients (ORG group).All the patients underwent primary tumor resection for gastric cancer + D2 lymph node dissection,and the postoperative recovery plans were done according to enhanced recovery program.The volume of blood loss,number of lymph node dissected,operation time,intraoperative arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxid (PaCO2),time to anal exsufflation,indwelling time of gastric tube,time for out-off-bed activity,time for fluid diet intake,postoperative hemoglobin,duration of hospital stay and occurrence of complications in the 2 groups were analyzed.The follow-up by outpatient examination and telephone interview was carried out on patients up to August 2014.The count data were analyzed by the chi-square test and Fisher exact probability.The measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x ± s and analyzed using the t test.The t' test was used if the data were deficient.Results Surgical procedures in the 2 groups were successfully carried out and no perioperative death occurred.There was no conversion to open surgery in the LRG group.The resection margins in all the patients were negative.The operation time and number of lymph node dissection in the LRG group were (239 ±68)minutes and 27 ± 10,compared with (227 ±50)minutes and 26 ± 10 in the ORG group,with significant differences (t =0.919,0.179,P ＞ O.05).PaCO2 in the LRG group was (41 ± 5) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),which was significantly higher than(36 ± 5) mmHg in the ORG group (t =4.745,P ＜ 0.05).The volume of blood loss was (102 ± 44)mL in the LRG group,which was significantly less than (200 ± 120) mL in the OPG group (t' =-4.807,P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative level of hemoglobin in the LRG was (110 ± 15) g/L,which was significantly higher than (98 ± 27)g/L in the ORG group (t' =2.471,P ＜ 0.05).The time to anal exsufflation,indwelling time of gastric tube,time for out-off-bed activity,time for fluid diet intake,duration of hospital stay in the LRG group were (2.6 ± 0.7) days,(2.1 ± 0.7) days,(1.1 ± 0.3) days,(4.1 ± 0.7) days and (11 ± 4) days,which were significantly different from (4.8 ± 1.5) days,(4.0 ± 1.8) days,(4.5 ± 0.6) days,(5.9 ± 1.8) days and (18 ± 3) days in the OR G group (t' =-8.415,-6.206,-33.831,-5.879,t =9.632,P＜0.05).Eight patients in the LRG group and 15 patients in the ORG group had complications,with the incidence of complications of 17.4％ (8/46) and 38.5％ (15/39),respectively,showing a significant difference (x2 =4.748,P ＜ 0.05).Forty-four patients in the LRG group and 36 patients in the ORG gorup were followed up for 2-25 months,1 patient in the LRG group and 2 patients in the ORG group died and others had full recovery.Conclusions Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy could provide a safe and complete tumor resection for elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer compared with open radical gastrectomy,meanwhile,it can improve postoperative recovery and reduce postoperative complications in elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of blindness all over the world, and it is one of the most serious and common microvascular complications of diabetes. Breakdown of the endothelial blood - retinal barrier ( BRB ) , as occurs in diabetic retinopathy, result in vasogenic edema and neural tissue damage, causing loss of vision. The inner BRB is created by complex tight juctions of retinal capillary endothelial cells, this barrier prevents the free diffusion of substances between the circulating blood and the neural retinal, the inner BRB efficiently supplies nutrients to the retinal and removes endobiotics and xenobiotics from the retina to maintain a constant milieu in the neural retina. The central mechanism of altered inner BRB function is a change in the permeability characteristics of retinal endothelial cells caused by elevated levels of cytokines, growth factors, advanced glycation end products, inflammation, hyperglycema and loss of pericytes. This article reviews the relationship between diabetes and the ultrastructure changes of BRB.

Objective To observe the effects of 2 Gy γ-ray irradiation on regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Th17 cells and immune balance of mice.Methods A total of fifty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into two groups,the irradiated group exposed to 2 Gy of whole body γ-ray irradiation,and the control group sham-irradiated.At 1,3,7,14 and 28 d after radiation,changes of peripheral haemogram were detected respectively and Tregs in peripheral blood,thymus and spleen and Th17 cells in spleen were analyzed by flow cytometry.Results Compared with control group,the number of peripheral blood white cells (WBC) and lymphocyte in irradiated group reduced significantly post-irradiation (t =8.89-33.54,P ＜ 0.05),while the cell number of peripheral CD4 + CD25 + Tregs post-irradiation rose but not significantly.Thymic Treg cells increased 1 and 3 d post-irradiation(t =-6.45,-10.59,P ＜0.05),but reduced 28 d post-irradiation (t =5.34,P ＜ 0.05).Splenic Treg cells ascended obviously from 1 to 14 d post-irradiation (t =-6.82-3.89,P ＜ 0.05).After irradiation splenic Th17 cells increased at 1 d,and reached the maximal level at 3 d (t =-2.42,P ＜ 0.05),more obviously than splenic Treg cells.The reduction of Treg/Th17 ratio from 1 to 14 d post-irradiation disturbed Treg/Th17 balance and made it drift to the direction of Th17 (t =4.02-8.04,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Treg/Th17 imbalance plays an important role in immune injury induced by irradiation.

Objective To investigate the effects of previous open nephrolithotomy on the technical features, outcomes and morbidities of subsequent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Methods Ninety-eight patients who underwent PCNL from January 2006 to January 2011 were selected in this study. The 34 patients of them who had previous open nephrolithotomy on the same kidney were assigned as group A, and the other 64 patients who had no previous open surgery as group B. The data of operation time, blood transfusion quantity, residual stones rate, hospitalization time and time of tube evulsion were collected and compared between the two groups. Results There were no significant differences between the group A and B with respect to the mean operative time [(84.0±24.6) min vs. (94.0±22.7) min, t=1.372, P=0.177], hospitalization time [(6.5±1.1)days vs. (6.3±1.8)days, t=0.49, P=0.261], blood transfusion quantity [(82.9±10.6) ml vs. (85.0±11.8) ml, t=0.415, P=0.682], kidney and colostomy channels [single channel(70.6% vs. 75.0%), double channel (29.4% vs. 25.0%), χ2 =0.22, P=0.638] and residual stones rate (5% vs. 3%,χ2=0.42, P=0.282). Conclusions When PCNL is performed after previous open nephrolithotomy, there is no difference in success rate and morbidities.

Objective To correlate the chemokine score with disease activity,organ damages and clinical features in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.Methods Peripheral blood cells obtained from 60 SLE patients,20 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and 23 healthy donors (HDs) were subjected to real-time PCR to measure the transcriptional levels of seven chemokines (RANTES,MCP-1,CCL19,MIG,IP-10,CXCL11,and IL-8).Chemokine scores were calculated and were compared between various groups of SLE patients as well as between patients and controls.Results Chemokine scores were significantly elevated in SLE patients compared with RA patients and HDs (P=0.0112 and P=0.0019,respectively).Chemokine scores were correlated positively with SLEDAI (P=0.0061) and negatively with C3 levels (P=0.003).Compared to patients without lupus nephritis (LN),chemokine scores were elevated in SLE patients with active LN,especially when their daily prednisone dosage was less than 30 mg (P=0.0418 and P=0.002,respectively).Chemokine scores were also associated with cumulative organ damage (SLICC damage index [SDI]＞0) and positive anti-Sm and anti-RNP autoantibodies.Conclusion The chemokine score may serve as a new biomarker for disease activity and organ damage in SLE patients.

Objective To explore effect of physic temperature dropping by ice blanket on incidence of pressure ulcer of stroke patients in ICU, and normalize the basic nursing procedure during temperature reduc-tion.Methods 230 fever patients were randomly divided into the group A(control temperature with ice blan-ket,108 cases)and the group B (control temperature with routine measure,122 cases).Thc incidence of pressure ulcer and surface temperature of pressed position in the two groups were compared.Results The incidence of pressure ulcer and surface temperature of pressed position in group A was lower than those of group B.Conclusions The incidence of pressure ulcer can be reduced by using ice blanket for physic temperature dropping.The pressure of pressed position were descended by alternative prostration and lateral position.
