Objective To evaluate the diagnostic valve of double balloon enteroscopy in patients with obscure abdominal pain and analyze the etiology of chronic abdominal pain resulted from enteral diseases. Methods Sixty-seven cases with chronic abdominal pain underwent a previous negative gastroscopy, colonoscopy, gastrointestinal barium, B ultrasound and electrocardiogram were received double balloon enteroscopy during June 2005 to June 2008. Results Thirty-six of 67 patients was done by enteroscopy via anus, and 19 cases via oral, and 12 cases via both anus and oral. The lesions were found in 41 of the 67 patients, with overall diagnostic yield of 61.19%. Among 41 cases of abdominal pain resulted from small bowel diseases, Crohn's disease were found in 15 cases (36.59%), non-specific small enteritis in 10 cases (24.39%), tumors in 8 cases (19.51%),other enteral diseases in 8 cases (19.51%). Conclusions Double balloon enteroscopy was a diagnostic modality with a high diagnostic value for obscure abdominal pain resulted from small bowel diseases. The most common causes of obscure abdominal pain were Crohn's disease, non-specific small enteritis and tumors.

The aging process of human colonic epithelium involves a slow decline in physiological vigor and an increasing susceptibility to age-related diseases, especially, colon cancer, but the molecular mechanisms of the aging and susceptibility of aged colonic epithelium to carcinogenesis is still unclear. Identification of aging related proteins in colonic epithelium will help to reveal the molecular mechanisms of colonic epithelial aging and age-related colonic diseases. Therefore, the total proteins of human normal colonic epithelial tissues from 10 young and 10 old men were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE), respectively. PDQuest software was applied to analyze 2-DE images, the differentially expressed protein spots of colonic epithelium between young and old groups were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS), and the expression levels of partial identified proteins were determined by real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. Well-resolved, reproducible 2-DE maps of human colonic epithelial tissues from young and old men were established, 17 aging related proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS, and the differential expression levels of partial identified proteins were confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. The results indicate that injury of mitochondrial function and decline of antioxidant capability are important reasons for the aging of human colonic epithelium, and four differential proteins (guanine nucleotide-binding protein beta subunit-like protein, stress-70 protein, 40 S ribosomal protein SA and chloride intracellular channel protein1) may be involved in susceptibility of aged colonic epithelium to carcinogenesis.

Objective To investigate dynamically characteristics of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of MR diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the rabbit VX-2 tumor model.Methods Forty New Zealand rabbits were included in the study and forty-seven rabbit VX-2 tumor models were raised by implanting directly and intrahepatically after abdominal cavity was opened.DWI was carried out periodically and respectively on seventh,fourteenth,and twenty-first day after implantation.Part samples of VX-2 tumors were studied by pathology.The distinction of VX-2 tumors on DWI was assessed by their ADC values.The statistical significance between different time groups,different area groups,or different b-value groups was calculated using SPSS12.0 software,respectively.Results ADC values of 47 VX-2 tumors in the area of tumor periphery,tumor center,and normal parenchyma around tumor were greater when b-value was 100 s/mm2 than those when b-value was 300 s/mm2 and the distinction of VX-2 tumor ADC in the area of tumor periphery,tumor center,and normal parenchyma around tumor between different b-value groups was significant,respectively( F =17.964,P ＜0.01 ; F =13.986,P ＜0.01 ; F =128.681,P ＜0.01 ).The ADC values in the area of normal liver parenchyma around tumor were greater than those in the area of VX-2 tumor periphery and tumor center when the b-value was 100 or 300 s/mm2.When b-value was the same( 100 or 300 s/mm2),the distinction of VX-2 tumor ADC between different areas was significant( F =176.586,P ＜0.01 ; F =55.089,P ＜0.01 ).The ADC of VX-2 tumor in the area of tumor periphery and tumor center became gradually low from seventh to fourteenth or twenty-first day after implantation and the distinction of ADC between different time groups but the area same (?) was significant( b =100 s/mm2,F =48.211,P ＜0.01 ;b =300 s/mm2,F =20.955,P ＜0.01 ).There were not obvious cellular necrosis in VX-2 tumors on seventh and fourteenth day after implantation but ADC of VX-2 tumor decreased unobviously because of cellular edemata in or around tumors.There were obvious cellular necrotic areas in VX-2 tumors on the twenty-first day after implantation.ADC of viable tumor cells in VX-2 tumors were lower on DWI than that in the area of normal liver parenchyma around tumor and ADC of dead tumor cells in VX-2 tumors were unequal,including high values,equal values,and low values but they were higher than that in the area of normal liver parenchyma around tumor after dead tumor cells had been liquified or had become cystic.Conclusions ADC is able to reflect objectively the diffusion of water molecules in the tumor and to reflect indirectly the degree of the growth and liquified necrosis of a tumor.ADC has an important and potential value in monitoring dynamical tumor growth and in evaluating malignant degree and therapeutic effect.

ObjectiveTo investigate its dynamic characteristics and pathological mechanism on magnatic resonance diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) after chemoembolization in rabbit liver VX-2 tumor model.MethodsForty New Zealand rabbits were included in the study and forty-seven rabbit VX-2 tumor models were raised by implanting directly and intrahepatically after abdominal cavity was opened.Forty VX-2 tumor models from them were divided into four groups.DWI was performed periodically and respectively for each group after chemoembolization.All VX-2 tumor samples of each group were studied by pathology.The distinction of VX-2 tumors on DWI was assessed by their apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values.The statistical significance between different time groups,different area groups,or different b-value groups was calculated using SPSS 12.0 software.ResultsWhen b-value was 100 s/mm2,ADC values in the area of VX-2 tumor periphery,VX-2 tumor central,or normal liver parenchyma around tumor became gradually low in sixteen hours after chemoembolization,and were the lowest at sixteenth hour,and then they increased gradually from sixteenth hour to fourty-eighth hour after chemoembolization.The distinction of ADC between different time groups was significant,respectively ( F =7.325,P ＜ 0.01 ; F =2.496,P ＜ 0.05 ; F =6.856,P ＜0.01 ).Cellular edema in the area of VX-2 tumor periphery or normal liver parenchyma around tumor increased quickly in sixteen hours after chemoembolization; however,from sixteenth hour to forty-eighth hour,cellular edema in the area of normal liver parenchyma around tumor decreased gradually and that in the area of VX-2 tumor periphery decreased lightly at first and then increased continually.Cellular necrosis in the area of VX-2 tumor periphery after chemoembolization was more significant than that before chemoembolization.The areas of dead cells in VX-2 tumors manifested low signal and high ADC value while the areas of viable cells manifested high signal and low ADC value.ConclusionsDWI is able to detect and discriminate tumor necrotic areas from viable cellular areas before and after chemoembolization.ADC of normal liver parenchyma and VX-2 tumor are influenced by intracellular edema,tissue cellular death,and microcirculation disturbance after chemoembolization.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) C and D in gastric cancer and its relationship with tumor angiogenesis and lymph node metastasis. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry(SABC) and real-time PCR were used to detect the expression of VEGF-C, VEGF-D protein and mRNA in 32 gastric cancer tissues and 32 normal gastric tissues. RESULTS: The positive expression rate of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in gastric cancer tissue was significantly higher than that of normal gastric tissues (P<0.01), the expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in the gastric cancer group and the lymph node metastasis group were significantly different (P<0.05). The expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in gastric carcinoma was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.01), the expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in well-differentiated carcinoma, moderately differentiated carcinoma and poorly differentiated carcinoma was statistically different (P<0.05). VEGF-C and VEGF-D expressions in gastric cancer cells were not related to the patient's age, sex, and lymph node distant metastasis (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The non-intake high expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in gastric cancer cells is closely related to lymph node metastasis. They serve as the important reference indicator to assess the prognosis in gastric cancer patients.

Objective:To evaluate the personalized 3D printed guide template used in the osteotomy for malunion of tibial fracture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 30 patients who had been treated for malunion of tibial fracture at Department of Orthopaedics, The First Affiliated Hospital to Zhengzhou University from January 2010 to January 2018. Of them, 15 used a personalized 3D printed guide template in the osteotomy (3D printing group). They were 9 males and 6 females, with an age of 46.3 year±8.2 years. The fracture malunion was located in the upper and middle tibia in 11 cases, in the lower tibia in 4 cases, on the left side in 6 cases and on the right side in 9 ones. There were 8 cases of varus deformity and 7 ones of valgus deformity. Their preoperative fracture deformity angle was 24.3°±5.5°. The other 15 patients were treated with conventional surgery (conventional group). They were 10 males and 5 females, with an age of 47.1 years±6.0 years. The fracture was located in the upper and middle tibia in 12 cases, in the lower tibia in 3 cases, on the left side in 5 cases and on right side in 10 cases. There were 7 cases of varus deformity and 8 ones of valgus deformity. Their preoperative fracture deformity angle was 22.5°±5.4°. The 2 groups were compared in terms of preoperative baseline data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative recovery of the alignment of lower limb.Results:There were no significant differences in the preoperative baseline data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). The 3D printing group was followed up for an average of 12 months while the conventional group for an average of 10 months. The operation time for the 3D printing group was significantly shorter than that for the conventional group(102.2 min±13.0 min versus 137.9 min ±10.5 min), the intraoperative blood loss for the former significantly less than that for the latter (77.3 mL ± 39.7 mL versus 163.3 mL ± 35.2 mL), and the postoperative malunion angle in the former significantly smaller than that in the latter (1.9°±0.4° versus 3.2°±0.9°) (all P< 0.05). The last follow-ups revealed no implant failure or re-malunion but fine healing of the osteotomy sites and good recovery of the alignment of lower limb in the 2 groups. Conclusion:A personalized 3D printed guide template used in the osteotomy for malunion of tibial fracture is an effective aid because it can facilitate precise osteotomy, reduce operation time and intraoperative blood loss and help correct the alignment of lower limb, leading to good short-term surgical outcomes.

The consensus has been reached on the benefits of surgical drainage. However, catheter-related blockage and retrograde infection remain bottleneck problems in the treatment process. To this end, with Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, as the main inventors, a drainage tube dredging umbrella and anti-retrograde infection kit have been designed and applied for the national utility model patent (patent number: ZL 2023 2 1300036.2). The main body of the kit consists of a catheter dredging umbrella, drainage tube, and drainage bag. Several isolation layers are installed in the drainage bag to form a maze structure and a reflux valve is added, thereby increasing the distance and resistance of liquid reflux, greatly reducing the possibility of liquid reflux entering the drainage tube, so as to reduce the risk of retrograde infection through physical means. When the drainage tube is blocked, the drainage tube and joint tube of the drainage bag can be separated, the unblocking umbrella can be inserted into the blockage through the guide wire, the cannula can be inserted along the guide wire, the guide wire is pulled to release the dredging umbrella in the contraction state, and the dredging umbrella can be pulled back in the expansion state until the blockage is removed from the drainage tube. The operating procedure is standardized and simple. While preventing retrograde infection (anti-retrograde infection kit), the catheter dredging umbrella could effectively address the issue of catheter blockage. It has certain clinical promotion and application value.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of inverse ratio ventilation (IRV) combined with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in infants undergoing thoracoscopic surgery with single lung ventilation (OLV) for lung cystadenomas. METHODS: A total of 66 infants undergoing thoracoscopic surgery with OLV for lung cystadenomas in our hospital from February, 2018 to February, 2019 were randomized into conventional ventilation groups (group N, =33) and inverse ventilation group (group R, =33). Hemodynamics and respiratory parameters of the infants were recorded and arterial blood gas analysis was performed at 15 min after two lung ventilation (TLV) (T), OLV30 min (T), OLV60 min (T), and 15 min after recovery of TLV (T). Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected before and after surgery to detect the expression level of advanced glycation end product receptor (RAGE). RESULTS: Sixty-three infants were finally included in this study. At T and T, Cdyn, PaO and OI in group R were significantly higher ( < 0.05) and Ppeak, PaCO and PA-aO were significantly lower than those in group N ( < 0.05). There was no significant difference in HR or MAP between the two groups at T and T ( > 0.05). The level of RAGE significantly increased after the surgery in both groups ( < 0.05), and was significantly lower in R group than in N group ( < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In infants undergoing thoracoscopic surgery with OLV for pulmonary cystadenoma, appropriate IRV combined with PEEP does not affect hemodynamic stability and can increases pulmonary compliance, reduce the peak pressure, and improve oxygenation to provide pulmonary protection.
