Objective To explore the safety of the laparoscopic surgery in radical resection for different stage rectal cancer.Methods Clinical data of 200 cases with rectal cancer underwent laparoscopic radical resection(observation group) were analyzed retrospectively,including 52 cases of stage 0-Ⅰ,148 cases of stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ.Two hundred cases patients with rectal cancer underwent open radical surgery were selected as control group,including 44 cases of stage 0-Ⅰ,156 cases of stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ.The length to distal resection margin,the number of harvested lymph nodes,the incidence of postoperative complications and the prognosis of recent situation were observed,the safety of the laparoscopic surgery was analyzed.Results Whether rectal cancer of stage 0-Ⅰ or Ⅱ-Ⅲ,there were no significant differences in terms of the length of distal resection margin((2.5±0.9) cmvs.(2.4±1.1) cm,t=0.490,P=0.625;(3.1±1.0) cm vs.(3.2±1.3) cm,t=0.749,P=0.454),the number of harvested lymph nodes((12.3±4.2) vs.(12.7±3.9),t=0.480,P=0.632;(13.9±5.4) vs.(15.1±4.9),t=2.369,P=0.118),the incidence of postoperative complications (17.3％ vs.18.2％,x2 =0.012,P=0.911;27.7％ vs.28.8％,x2=0.049,P=0.825),the rate of local recurrence(1.9％vs.2.3％,x2 =0.014,P =1.000;4.1％ vs.3.2％,x2=0.157,P=0.692),the distant metastasis (3.8％ vs.2.3％,x2=0.195,P=1.000;5.4％ vs.4.5％,x2=0.137,P=0.712) and 3-year survival rate (96.2％vs.95.5％,x2=0.010,P=0.808;83.8％ vs.85.3％,x2=0.132,P=0.714) between the observation group and control group (P＞0.05).Conclusion For rectal cancer of stage 0-Ⅰ,laparoscopic surgery has good safety,and worthy of popularization and application.For rectal cancer of stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ,due to its operation for a long time as well as the possible risk in postoperative anastomotic fistula,the implementation of laparoscopic surgery should be more cautious.

Objective To explore the value of preoperative spleen-liver volume ratio (SLVR) for predicting recurrence of primary liver cancer after hepatectomy.Methods Clinical data of 86 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing hepatectomy were analyzed retrospectively from January 2009 to December 2014.According to the preoperative SLVR,these patients were divided into two groups:SLVR ＜ 0.8 group (low SLVR group) and SLVR≥0.8 group (high SLVR group).Patients were followed-up until June 2015.Cox ratio risk pattern analysis was used for the recurrent correlative factors.Results The 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rates were 95.5％,88.6％,and 81.8％ in the low SLVR group,and 73.8％,47.6％,and 40.5％ in the high SLVR group,respectively.The difference were statistically significant between two groups (P ＜0.05).Cox regression analysis revealed that SLVR≥0.8,AFP-L3％ ≥10％,the maximum diameter of the tumor ＞ 5 cm,and hepatic or portal vein tumor thrombus were independent predictors of poor disease-free survival after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinomas (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Preoperative SLVR≥0.8 is an independent adverse predictor of poor disease-free survival.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of Sufentanil on Hep3B cell viability in liver cancer.Methods Sufentanil of different concentrations (0.01,0.1,1,5,10,1 5 μmol/L)was used to treat Hep3B cells.The changes of cell cycle,apoptosis and protein expression were detected to explore the potential mechanisms by MTT method,flow cytometry and Western blot,respectively.Results Reduced viability of Hep3B cells,arrested cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase,decreased expression of survivin protein,and increased expression of caspase-3 protein were observed with the increase of Sufentanil concentration. Conclusion Sufentanil inhibited the viability of Hep3B cells through affecting cell cycle,promoting cell apoptosis and changing protein expressions of survivin and caspase-3.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of hybrid thoracoscopic surgery and catheter ablation in treating the patients of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) with preliminary experience. Methods: A total of 15 consecutive relevant patients treated in our hospital by hybrid thoracoscopic surgery and catheter ablation from 2014-04 to 2016-03 were studied. The average AF time was (4.0±3.9) years including 13 male. All patients received thoracoscopic surgical ablation including pulmonary vein isolation, left atrial (LA) posterior wall isolation, Waterston's groove Ganglionated plexi ablation by bipolar radiofrequency ablation clamp and LA appendage removal, Marshall ligament dividing. Then establishing LA 3D-modeling, based on LA 3D voltage mapping, catheter ablation was conducted to reinforce surgical ablation or modification in order to confirm bidirectional blocking. Meanwhile, LA ridge and mitral isthmus ablation was performed, some patients received LA anterior wall and tricuspid isthmus ablation. The patients were followed-up at 3, 6 and 12 months after the procedure. Results: 13 patients were restored to sinus rhythm after the procedure and no operative complications occurred. The average follow-up time was (12.1±11.5) months. 2 patients with recovered sinus rhythm had re-catheter ablation since atrial flutter at 3 months post-procedure and sinus rhythm was restored. The overall success rate was 86.7% (13/15), no patient had anti-arrhgthmia medication. Conclusion: Hybrid thoracoscopic ablation and catheter ablation have been a minimally invasive, safe and effective method in treating the patients of long-standing persistent AF.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) with three frequencies (100 Hz, 2 Hz, and 2 Hz/100 Hz) on the apoptosis of neurons and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway in the hippocampus of rats with vascular dementia (VD), and explore the mechanism of EA intervention for VD. Methods: Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a model group, a sham operation group, a 100 Hz EA group, a 2 Hz EA group, and a 2 Hz/100 Hz EA group, with ten rats in each group. The VD model rats were established by repeated ischemia-reperfusion of bilateral common carotid arteries. The rats in the EA groups received EA intervention at Baihui (GV20), Dazhui (GV14), Geshu (BL17) and Zusanli (ST36), once a day for 14 d. Afterward, Morris water maze was used to examine the learning and memory performances of the rats in each group, hematoxylin-eosin staining to observe the histomorphological changes in the hippocampal CA1 region, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling to test the apoptosis of neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region, and Western blot to detect the protein expression levels of JNK, phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK), Caspase-8, and Caspase-3 in the hippocampus tissue. Results: Compared with the sham operation group, the escape latency of the model group in water maze test was prolonged; the number of crossing the original platform was decreased (P<0.01); the hippocampal neurons were severely damaged and the number of surviving neurons was decreased (P<0.01), whereas the number of apoptotic neurons was increased (P<0.01); the protein expression levels of JNK, p-JNK, Caspase-8, and Caspase-3 in the hippocampus were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the escape latency of each EA group was significantly shortened; the number of crossing the original platform was significantly increased (P<0.01); the damage of hippocampal neurons was alleviated, the number of surviving neurons was increased (P<0.01), and the number of apoptotic neurons was decreased (P<0.01); the protein expression levels of JNK, p-JNK, Caspase-8, and Caspase-3 in the hippocampus were decreased (P<0.01). The results in the 2 Hz EA group and the 2 Hz/100 Hz EA group were superior to those in the 100 Hz EA group. Conclusion: EA with the three frequencies (100 Hz, 2 Hz, and 2 Hz/100 Hz) can improve the learning and memory performances in VD rats subjected to ischemia-reperfusion, its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of neuronal apoptosis and the regulation of the related protein expression of JNK signaling pathway, and the intervention effects of EA with 2 Hz and 2 Hz/100 Hz are more significant.

OBJECTIVETo retrospectively evaluate the results of deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) after cardiac surgery.

METHODSBetween January 2010 and September 2013, 139 patients suffering from DSWI after median sternotomy. The incidence of DSWI was 0.47% (139/29 574). There were 111 (79.9%) male and 28 (20.1%) female patients. The mean age was (61 ± 11) years, the mean body weight was (74 ± 14) kg. The incidence of postoperative DSWI was 0.88% (91/10 341) after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), 0.70% (15/2 143) after valve surgery or other cardiac surgery plus CABG, 0.21% (24/11 429) after valve surgery, 0.15% (3/2 002) after thoracic aortic surgery, and 0.19% (6/3 158) after congenital heart disease. The sternotomy was re-opened and extensive debridement of the wound was performed in all patients. When the wound was clean and there was a bed of fresh granulation tissue, the sternum was rewired. The surgical procedure performed included debridement, drainage, sternal wire reclosure and pectoralis major muscular transpositions depended on the clinical condition of the patient.

RESULTSThe in-hospital mortality was 9.3%. Failure of secondary sternal refixation appeared in 15 (10.8%) patients, the reoperation procedure of these 15 patients was pectoralis major muscular transpositions. Other complications included sepsis in 13 patients, perivalvular leakage in 3 patients, and cardiac rupture during the surgical procedure in 3 patients. The mean hospitalization was (39 ± 30) days.

CONCLUSIONDeep sternal wound infection is a life-threatening complication after cardiac surgery associated with high morbidity and mortality.

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopic bipolar radio-frequency ablation in the treatment of isolated paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.Methods From September 2010 to December 2016,Seventy-two consecutive patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic bipolar radio-frequency ablation at Fuwai Hospital.There were 50 males and 22 females with an average age of(56.5 ± 10.5) years and duration of atrial fibrillation with (6.5 ± 4.8) years.45 patients had previous catheter ablation.The patients were followed up at postoperative 3 months,6 months,1 year and annually.Success of ablation was defined as sinus rhythm and no duration of ≥30 s for rapid atrial arrhythmias,including atrial fibrillation,atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia in 24 h Holter examination.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk factors for atrial fibrillation recurrence.Results One patient converted to sternotomy due to bleeding on operation.All patients were successfully discharged.69 patients completed follow-up,with an average follow-up of(28 ± 18)months(3-60 months).The overall success rate was 73.9％,and the success rate without antiarrhythmic drug was 62.3％.Subgroup analysis showed that the success rate was 80％ when left atrial anterior and posterior diameter(LAD) ≤40 mm,and 57.9％ when LAD ＞ 40 mm (P =0.035).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LAD ＞40 mm was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence of atrial fibrillation.Conclusion Video-assisted thoracoscopic bipolar radiofrequency ablation is a safe and effective method for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation,especially in patients with LAD≤40 mm.

Objective: To explore the prevalence of anemia and related factors among left-behind children in poverty-stricken rural areas in China, to provide basic information for anemia prevention and treatment for children. Methods: Data from the National Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students in 2016 were used to express the prevalence of anemia among left-behind children. By using the multistage stratified random cluster sampling method, left-behind children of the 6-17-years-old in poverty-stricken rural areas were recruited in this study. Blood hemoglobin concentration of these students was determined by cyanmethemoglobin method. Anemia was judged by the WHO recommended standard and combined with the sea level elevation correction standard. Frequencies of food intake were collected through questionnaires. Data was then available for analysis including the level of hemoglobin and anemia rates. Relationship between anemia and food intakes as well as other influential factors was also analyzed. Results: The overall anemia prevalence (AP) was 11.6% among the participants. Rates of AP among the 6-, 7-, 15- and 16-17-years-old were 21.1%, 18.0%, 20.6% and 17.3%, respectively. Rates of AP among left-behind girls of 10-11-years-old and the 13-15-years-old were significantly higher than those in boys at the same age (P<0.01) group. Factors including: being girls (OR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.23-1.45), at grade 7 to 9 (OR=1.47, 95%CI:1.30-1.67) and mother being migrant worker (OR=1.32, 95%CI:1.16- 1.50) had higher proportions of getting anemia. Factors as living in the western area (OR=0.85, 95%CI: 0.78-0.93), taking breakfast every day (OR=0.70, 95%CI: 0.64-0.76), having meat more than twice per week (OR=0.84, 95%CI: 0.75-0.93) and having two kinds of vegetables per day (OR=0.85, 95%CI: 0.75-0.96) appeared protective. Conclusions Prevalence of anemia in left-behind children from the poverty-stricken rural areas was high, including junior middle school students from grade 7 to 9 at the early stage of youth development, girls and children with mothers as migrant workers. Anemia should be reduced by promoting the protective factors as having breakfast, increasing intakes of meat and fresh vegetables.
