Objective: The purpose of our experiment is to use new type esophageal prosthesis, which is pulmonary tissue with vascular pedicle, to repair the partial esophageal defect. Methods: Twelve adult mongrel dogs were used for the study. Middle lobar bronchus of right lung was ligated and incised, so the pulmonary tissue with vascular pedicle was made. A 4 cm long and 1/2~2/3 circled esophageal wall, and full-thickness defect was created. The defect was patched by pulmonary tissue with vascular pedicle. Results: Seven dogs were put to death at planned times after the reconstructive operation. One dog is still alive without any problems for more than 12 months. One dog survived 38 days and then died of chronic empyema. The other three dogs died of anastomotic leak at 5~7 days after operation. The living dogs could be fed orally at seventh day after operation. Epithelization was found in the luminal surface of the defect. Conclusion: It was feasible that the partial esophageal defect was replaced by pulmonary tissue with vascular pedicle.

Objective To study the distal intramural spread of rectal carcinoma, and provide evidence for modification of rectal carcinoma surgery. Methods Sixty patients with rectal carcinoma admitted to the first affiliated hospital of Chongqing university of medical science from November 2001 to October 2002 were included. The specimens were extended to its original size and shape by the fat clearing method. Mesenteric lymph nodes were dissected by using transillumination to examine metastases histologically, then a lymph nodes map was produced which including the site of the primary lesion, the vascular distribution, and the sites of dissected nodes. The specimen below the distal margin of the tumor was cut continuously with 0.5 cm interval then sectioned for histopathological examination. Results Tumor spread to the distal intramural was observed in 11 of 60 patients (18.3%) with the range within 1.5 cm, of which less than 0.5 cm in 5 case, 5 cm to 1.0 cm in 2 cases, 1.0 cm to 1.5 cm in 4 cases. The tumor invasion was correlated with gross type, histological type and infiltrative depth, but not with sex, age, location of the tumor, size of the tumor, lymph nodes metastases and Dukes stage. Conclusion The range of distal mural excision should exceed 1.5 cm to tumor margin in radical surgery for rectal carcinoma. This rule should be emphasized for patients with poor cell differentiation and deep infiltration.

Colorectal cancer is the third high incidence of tumor in the world,and liver is one of the most common sites of distant metastasis.Liver metastasis accounts for 50%-75% in distant metastasis.Only about 10% -15% of patients are candidates for resection,and the recurrence is easy.Selective internal radiation therapy is a new type of radiotherapy.It is partial and liver-targeted.For unresectable colorectal liver metastasis,selective internal radiation therapy alone or in combination with other therapies can reduce cancer focus,prolong the survival,and maybe improve overall survival.

Objective:To examine the utilization and cost of outpatient care and their influencing fac-tors among middle and aged peasant-workers in China. Methods:The data of China Health and Retire-ment Longitudinal Study ( CHARLS) collected in 2011-2012 were used and the data on peasant-workers aged 45 years and older were analyzed with Two-part Model. Results: The four-week outpatient rate of middle and aged peasant-workers was 13. 7% (407/2 974). The determinants of the rate included gen-der, marital status, economic level, household size, the place of insurance enrollment, self-assessed health and having or having no chronic diseases. The average outpatient cost was (400. 3 ± 56. 7) yuan (RMB) and the median was 138. 0 yuan. Multivariate analyses showed that outpatient costs were higher for those males who lived in Eastern China and worked at the same place with insurance enrollment, with fair to bad self-assessed health and chronic diseases. Conclusion:Allowing higher flexibility for migrants to transfer the new rural cooperative medical system ( NCMS ) between rural and urban areas and thus making reimbursement for medical services provided by undesignated providers received immediately could increase the use of outpatient services.
