Objective: To investigate the effects of ω-3 fish oil fat emulsion on nutritional status and humoral immunity in postoperative patients suffering from gastrointestinal malignancy. Methods: Thirty patients of gastrointestinal malignancy were randomly divided into study group (n = 15) and control group (n = 15). All the patients were assigned to receive total parenteral nutrition with the equal nitrogen and calory,and those in study group received fish oil fat emulsion additionally. Liver and renal function, blood lipid, haemoglobin, albumin, transferrin, total lymphocyte count (TLC) , B lymphocyte subsets (B1, B2), immunoglobin(IgG, IgM, IgA) and complement(C3, C4) were determined preoperatively and 1, 6d postoperatively. Results: There were no significant differences in liver and renal function and blood lipid on postoperative day 6 versus preoperation in all the two groups. TLC, IgG, IgM, C3 on postoperative day 6 were siginificantly higher in the study group(P < 0. 05). Haemoglobin, albumin, transferrin and B lymphocyte subsets were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: Fish oil fat emulsion treatment was safe and tolerated, and could improve the humoral immunity in patients.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods Clinical data of 78 hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing laparoscopic radiofrequency in Beijing China-Japan Friendship Hospital from May.2008 to July.2010 were reviewed retrospectively.Age ranged from 31 to 87 years,41 were male and 37 were female.Intraoperative ultrasound-guided needle biopsy was performed and diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma was established in all cases before RFA was carried out.Data analysis was performed using software SPSS or OriginPro7.Necrosis,local recurrence of the tumor and the cumulative survival rate were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier test and x2 test.Results The median follow-up time was 16 months after RFA treatment.Tumor size,proximity to intrahepatic vessels and combination with TACE were factors that influence local recurrence.The complete ablation (CA) rate was remarkably higher in tumors ＜ 3 cm than in tumors ＞ 3 -5 cm (90.5％ vs 71.4％,x2 =4.291,P =0.038 ).Tumors adjacent to major vessels had a significantly lower CA rate as compared with those not adjacent to them (63.6％ vs 91.9％,x2 =6.351,P =0.012).The CA rate were 88.9％ in the TACE ± RFA group and 75.0％ in the RFA group ( x2 =1.567,P =0.211 ).The mean overall survival were 48.7 ± 2.4 months,the cumulative survival rate was 86.1％ at 1 year、76.9％ at 2 years、60.3％ at 3 years、51.8％ at4 years and 33.1％ at 5 years.Conclusions Laparoscopic RFA is safe,mini-invasive and effective for unresectable hepatic carcinoma with a favorable long term survival.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of pioglitazone combined with gliclazide sustained-release tablets in the treatment of patients with early type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods 80 patients with early type 2 diabetes mellitus in our hospital from June 2013 to July 2016 were selected as the study object,and the patients were randomly divided into two groups, 40 cases in each group.The control group were treated with gliclazide sustained-release tablets, the observation group were treated with pioglitazone combined with gliclazide sustained-release tablets.Then the blood glucose level, glycosylated hemoglobin level, lipid metabolism indexes and islet function indexes of two groups before and after the treatment were detected and compared.Results The blood glucose level, glycosylated hemoglobin level, lipid metabolism indexes and islet function indexes of two groups before the treatment were compared, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), while the blood glucose level, glycosylated hemoglobin level, lipid metabolism indexes and islet function indexes of two groups after the treatment were continuously improved , and the blood glucose level and glycosylated hemoglobin level of observation group were lower than those of control group, the ipid metabolism indexes and islet function indexes were all better than those of control group, the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).Conclusion The clinical effect of pioglitazone combined with gliclazide sustained-release tablets in the treatment of patients with early type 2 diabetes mellitus is better, and it also has active adjustion role for the blood glucose, blood lipid and islet function state.

BACKGROUND:Collagen is a biomedical material with good biocompatibility,low toxicity,low immunoactivity,and high cellular affinity.However,the defects such as hydrophilicity and poor thermal stability are the key technical problems that need to be solved urgently in biomedical,tissue engineering,and other applications. OBJECTIVE:To elaborate on the preparation method,characterization,and application progress of acylated collagen. METHODS:PubMed,X-mol,and CNKI databases were used to search the literature on acylated collagen preparation methods,characterization,and application.The search time was from January 1992 to May 2023.The English search terms were"acylated collagen,modified collagen,water-soluble collagen,acetic anhydride".Chinese search terms were"acylated collagen,modified collagen,water-soluble collagen".After an initial screening of all articles according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,53 articles with high relevance were retained for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The preparation of acylated collagen is mainly obtained by the acylation reaction of acid anhydride,and the reaction sites are mainly ε-amino and N-terminus-amino of collagen,and the reaction environment of acylation reaction needs to be carried out in an alkaline environment.(2)Succinic anhydride is the preferred reactant of acylated collagen.Carbonic anhydride,citric anhydride,and bifunctional modifiers with acylation ability have been excavated in recent years to meet various requirements,but it is still limited to laboratory preparation;complex preparation process is difficult to industrialize,and follow-up research is needed to continuously improve.(3)The characterization methods of acylated collagen are similar to those of collagen,but there is still a lack of standards for the water-soluble characterization of acylated collagen.(4)In recent years,acylated collagen has been gradually used in the preparation of lenses,hydrogels,and dressings,as well as cosmetic raw materials.However,there is still little research on the application of acylated collagen,and there is a lack of complete in vivo experiments to verify the practicality of acylated collagen.
