Objective To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer. Methods From September 2000 to December 2004, 99 patients with colorectal cancer underwent laparoscopic radical resection (laparoscopic group) and 198 patients with colorectal cancer underwent open radical resection (open group) at the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University. The differences in local recurrence and survival between the two groups were compared. The local recurrence of tumors and survival of patients in the two groups were calculated by the life-table method, and were compared by the Wilcoxon (Gehan) test, chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. The recurrence interval and survival time of the two groups were compared by non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results The 2-and 3-year local recurrence rates in the laparoscopic group were both 3.0% and the overall local recurrence rate was 3.0% (3/99). The 2-and 3-year local recurrence rates in the open group were 2.6% and 4.0% , respectively, and the overall local recurrence rate was 3.5% (7/198), with no significant difference between the two groups (χ2 =0.002, P > 0. 05). The median survival time of patients with local recurrence was 15 months (range, 7-24 months) in the laparoscopic group and 11 months (range, 2-28 months) in the open group, with no significant difference between the groups (U = 15. 500, P >0. 05). The 1-year survival rate was 33.3% in the laparoscopic group and 42.9% in the open group. The 2-year survival rate was zero in the laparoscopic group and 42. 9% in the open group. There were no significant differences between the groups for the 1-and 2-year survival rates (χ2 =0.120, P>0.05). Conclusions The efficacy of laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer is similar to that of open surgery. Laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer is safe and feasible, and does not increase the recurrence rate of cancer.

Purpose Dual-energy coronary artery CT angiography (CTA) is a very promising one-stop examine, but the radiation dose is too high to hinder the development of the technology. The aim of this article is to explore the feasibility of low tube current combined with sonogram-affirmed iterative reconstruction (SAFIRE) technology in dual energy coronary artery CTA scan. Materials and Methods One hundred and twenty patients were randomly divided into four groups according to the tube current of A ball:conventional group (180 mAs) and low-dose groups (150 mAs, 120 mAs, 90 mAs). The SAFIRE 3 reconstruction method was used in the low-dose groups. The differences of mean CT values, image noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), image quality score and effective dose (ED) of the four groups were compared. Results The coronary artery segment display and the mean CT value of the four groups showed no statistic difference (P>0.05), while the image quality score, noise, SNR, and CNR showed statistic difference (P<0.05). The image quality score, SNR, and CNR was highest in the 150 mAs group, but noise was the lowest. There were no statistic difference of the image quality score, SNR, and CNR between the 180 mAs group and 90 mAs group (P>0.05). The ED was (5.50±1.47) mSv, (4.55±1.16) mSv, (3.41±0.77) mSv and (2.44±0.67) mSv, respectively for the four groups, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). ED of 90 mAs group decreased 55.62% than that of 180 mAs group. Conclusion Coronary artery CTA using 90 mAs combined with SAFIRE can significantly reduce the radiation dose without losing image quality, thus it has a good prospect of clinical application.
