With the low-dose spiral computed tomography (LDCT) widely applied in screening for early-stage lung cancers recently, positive rates of Ground-Glass Opacity (GGO) are gradually increased. Many professional researchers believe GGO has a close relationship with the early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, consequently, qualitative diagnosis and early treatment of GGO plays a signiifcant role in improving the diagnostic and survival rates of patients with early-stage lung cancer. Since relative imaging diagnosis, location methods and surgical approaches of GGO have been reported a lot by domestic and overseas researchers, our reviews would mainly focus on the diverse research progress of molecular biology of GGO in the past several years.

Objective To compare the short-term follow-up cu ra tive effect of primary total hip replacement (THR) in treating fresh and old fem oral neck fractures. Methods Double follow-ups with an in terval of 13 months were performed in patients with femoral neck fractures under going THR in our department from January 1997 to October 1999. Results After a follow-up for 37-62 months (mean 44 months), we obtained f ull data of 47 patients [41-77 years old, (61.8?5.22) years old] with preoperative Harris score of 28.40?10.14 and postoperative score of 85.20?7. 91. The Harris score of patients with fresh femoral neck fractures (FFNF) incr eased from 21.60?8.73 preoperatively to 82.50?9.81 postoperatively〔at age of (63.50?5.53) years〕 and that of patients with old femoral neck fracture (O FNF) from 37.70?13.50 to 90.63?5.79, [at age of (58.90?7.81) years]. Of 47 patients, only one case had dislocation once within six weeks postoperative ly during function exercise and recovered after manual reduction. Another one wi th excellent function evaluation was given again internal fixation three years a fter THR because of femoral shaft fracture and obtained satisfactory recovery. N o complications were found in other patients. The mean Harris score in patients with OFNF was significantly higher than those with FFNF ( P

Objective To evaluate the nutrition intervention on advanced colorectal cancer chemotherapy patients quality of life. Methods 70 colorectal cancer patients (NRS 2002 score was more than or equal to 3 points) with chemotherapy from January 1st, 2013 to June 31th, 2014 were collected. The patients were randomly divided into intervention group (35 patients) and the control group (35 patients). The intervention group received personalized recipe which was developed by a team containing nurse specialist, chief psychiatrist, family members and patients themselves. The control group was treated with a normal diet guidance. The two groups of patients when they were treated after the second days of the first admission (before intervention), the end of the 6th courses of chemotherapy and the 12th courses of chemotherapy were evaluated by the European Organization For Research and Treatment Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). Nutritional indicators and the total life condition of the two groups at different time were compared. Results There were 5 cases off in the intervention group and the control group respectively. After the 12th courses of chemotherapy, the intervention group serum albumin (ALB) and the mean serum prealbumin (PAB) were improved 4.10 and 74.14; and the control group were-0.09 and-0.08, there were significant differences between the two groups (t=3.202, 3.623, P<0.05).The total quality of life of the intervention group was 25.87 points while the control group was 35.13 points, there was significant difference between the two groups (t=3.321, P<0.05). The intervention group got the total health status was (72.28 ± 20.97) points after the intervention, and before the intervention was (56.67 ± 14.08) points. Meanwhile the total health status was statistically significant (t=7.01, P<0.05). Conclusions There is a significant nutritional improvement in colorectal cancer patients with chemotherapy after nutritional therapy leading by nurse specialist, which is worthy of application.

Background and purpose:With the development of the three-dimensional (3D) science, minimally invasive technology is going into the 3D period. While 3D laparoscope system has been widely accepted by surgeons because of its better visual effect and safer operations compared to traditional laparoscope system, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of 3D thoracoscope system in minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of thoracic diseases. Methods: A total of 96 cases of thoracic diseases were accomplished with KARL STORZ 3D thoracoscope during Mar. 2014 to Oct. 2014, including 33 cases of lobectomy, 2 cases of segmentectomy, and 10 cases of wedge resection of pulmonary tumor, 27 cases of mediastinal tumor, 20 cases of esophageal tumor and 4 case of esophageal achalasia. The data of operative time, bleeding volume, postoperative chest tube drainage and hospital time and postoperative complications were counted. Results: All the operations were completed successfully, without conversion to open surgery. All the operations cost 30 to 237 min. The operation of local resection lasted 30 to 120 min, with an average of 52 min, the operation of pulmonary lobectomy lasted 63 to 122 min, with an average of 75 min;the operation of mediastinal tumor resection lasted 35 to 125 min, with an average of 77 min;and the operation of esophageal diseases lasted 57 to 237 min, with an average of 189 min. The bleeding volumes were 2 to 85 mL, 15 to 72 mL, 30 to 186 mL and with the average of 50 mL, 47 mL, 118 mL in pulmonary, mediastinal and esophageal operations respectively. The time of postoperative chest tube drainage of each surgery was 1 to 5 days after pulmonary operations, 1 to 3 days after mediastinal operations, and 2 to 6 days after esophageal operations. The postoperative hospital time of pulmonary operation was 2 to 10 days, with an average of 6.3 days;the time of mediastinal operation was 3 to 6 days, with an average of 4.2 days;and the time of esophageal operation was 4 to 19 days, with an average of 13.3 days. No complications and tumor recurrence or metastasis were observed during the followed 3 months. Conclusion: 3D thoracoscope system not only preserves the minimally invasive advantage of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), it can also provide high-definition and stereoscopic vision and better sense of depth which facilitate the operation more precise and safer, thus operation time becomes shorter. Besides, 3D system possesses the advantage of natural vision similar to open surgery, thus it has an easier and shorter learning curve.

Objective To study the optimum combination of orientation parameter of total hip prosthesis and acetabular safe zone on condition that the range of motion for activities of daily living (ADL) is fulfilled.Methods A three-dimensional generic parametric and visually kinematic simulation module of THA was developed.Range of motion ( ROM ) of hip flexion ≥ 110°,internal-rotation ≥30° at 90° flexion,extension ≥30° and external rotation ≥40° were defined as the normal criteria for ADL.ROM of hip flexion ≥ 120°,internal-rotation ≥45° at 90° flexion,extension ≥30° and external rotation ≥40° were as the severe criteria.The ranges of changes in general ratios (GRs) of head-neck,femoral neck antevemion ( FNA ),operative inclination (OI) and anteversion (OA) of acetabulur components were 2.0-2.92,0°-30°,10°-60°,and 0°-70° respectively.Within the limits of the upper two activity criteria,the synchronous OA of acetabulur components was calculated with every 5°change in OI of the cup,and the collodiaphyseal angle ( CDD ) was set as 135°.The safe-zone of combination of acetabulur operative anteversion (OA) and inclination (OI) was defined as the area that fulfilled the two mentioned criteria of ROM without cup-neck impingement.All parameters were analyzed by using SAS 6.12 software.Results The safe zone of acetabdar angle rose with the increase of GRs of head-neck and the safe zone of severe criteria was smaller than that of normal criteria.When the CDD angle was 135°,the sum of average aeetabular OA and acetahular OI plus 0.816 times of the FNA equaled to 84.76° innormal criteria; and the sum of average acetabular OA and acetabular OI plus 0.873 times of the FNA equaled to 92.04° in severe criteria.Conclusions A high GR of head-neck greatly increases the size of safe-zone of acetabular angle.The higher demand of ROM of hip joint requires the smaller safe zone of acetabular angle,as can be corrected by increasing the GR of head-neck.The optimum combination between the sum of average acetabular OA and acetabular OI ( Y) plus FA (X)in the normal criteria and severe criteria can be estimated by using the following formulae:Y1 =-0.816X1 + 84.76 (R2 =0.993 ),Y2 =-0.873X2 + 92.04( R2 =0.999) respectively.

【Objective】 To establish preliminary diagnostic criteria of spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome (SDS) in chronic superficial gastritis (CSG) by disease-syndrome combined differentiation method and modern epidemiological method. 【Methods】 A clinical questionnaire of SDS in CSG was drafted out based on literatures study and experts' survey. Questionnaire investigation was performed in 146 cases of CSG, which consisted of 81 SDS cases and 65 nonSDS cases. Mter the investigation, discriminant analysis was adopted to set up the discriminant functional equations and to perform frequency analysis. According to the results, the diagnostic criteria and the simplified diagnostic criteria of SDS in CSG were established. 【Results】 The preliminary diagnostic criteria of SDS in CSG were as follows: (1) the major symptoms were characterized as yellow and greasy tongue fur, fullness or distension or pain in the stomach, loose stool and poor appetite; (2) the secondary symptoms were characterized as bitter taste and sticky mouth, chest depression, thirst but unwilling to drink, fatigue and nausea; (3) diagnosis could be confirmed by the existence of yellow and greasy tongue fur accompanied by either 2 of the other major symptoms, or by either 1 of the other major and 2 of the secondary symptoms, or by more than 3 of the secondary symptoms. The simplified diagnostic criteria were characterized the co-existence of yellow and greasy tongue fur and fullness or distension or pain in the stomach. 【Conclusion】 The preliminary diagnostic criteria of SDS in CSG are scientific, objective and practicable to some extent.

This study was conducted to investigate the paclitaxel loaded by hydrazone bonds in poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(caprolactone) micelles (mPEG-PCL-PTX) on proliferation and apoptosis of human lung cancer A549 cells and its possible mechanisms of anti-tumor activity. The cell proliferation was measured with MTT assay. Flow cytometry were used to analyze the cell cycle. The cell apoptosis was analyzed using Hoechst/P staining. The expression levels of apoptotic genes expression in the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The mPEG-PCL-PTX could inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells and promote the apoptosis. The Bax, caspase-3 protein expression were increased while Bcl-2 protein expression was decreased in A549 cells. Results showed that the polymer containing hydrazone bond is non-toxic in vitro, the mPEG-PCL-PTX micelles can inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of A549 cells. Key words: paclitaxel; micelle; A549 cell; proliferation; cell cycle; apoptosis

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and toxicity of oxaliplatin reintroduction combined with raltitrexed as second-line che-motherapy after the first-line oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer patients. Methods:The 48 evaluable pa-tients with advanced colorectal cancer following disease progression prior to the first-line chemotherapy were treated with oxaliplatin and raltitrexed (raltitrexed 3 mg/m2 ivgtt d1, oxaliplatin 100-130 mg/m2 ivgtt d1, q21d). All 48 patients were divided into two groups:Group A, non-oxaliplatin-based regimens as the first-line chemotherapy, 20 cases;Group B, oxaliplatin-based regimens as the first-line chemotherapy, 28 cases. Each group was evaluated every two cycles. Results:The response rates (RR) of Groups A and B were 30.0%(6/20) and 32.1%(9/28), the disease control rates (DCR) were 80.0%(16/20) and 75.0%(21/28), the median progression free survival time (mPFS) was 6.5 and 7.0 months, and the median overall survival time (mOS) was 10 and 13 months, respectively. No statistical sig-nificance was observed between the two groups in their RR, CR, mPFS, and mOS (P=0.264, 0.514, 0.713, 0.788), respectively. The most common adverse effects observed wereⅠ-Ⅱgrades of bone marrow suppression, aminotransferase abnormality, and digestive toxici-ties. The incidence of neurotoxicity (Ⅰ-Ⅱgrades) between the two groups was similar. Conclusion:Instead of irinotecan combined with raltitrexed, oxaliplatin reintroduction combined with raltitrexed for second-line chemotherapy after the first-line oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer patients is feasible.
