Objective To study the risk factors of complications of 364 cases in treatment of rad-ical esophagectomy.Methods 364 patients underwent two or three-incision radical esophagectomy and the clinic data were retrospectively analyzed.After review of the reference,ten factors were regarded as the potential risk factors of postoperative complications,then univariate and multivariate analyses were per-formed.Results In 364 patients,66 patients had complications of this research field within postoperative 6 months.By univariate analysis,preoperative nutritional risk score、T-staging、preoperative complications、operation time、operation experience、anastomotic position、anastomotic extra manual suturing were deter-mined as influence factors.By multivariate analysis,preoperative nutritional risk score≥3、T-staging score≥3、preoperative complications、operation time≥240 min、cervical anastomosis were determined as risk factors,anastomotic extra manual suturing was determined as a protective factor.Conclusion The risk factors of the complications after radical esophagectomy are preoperative nutritional risk score≥3、T-stag-ing score≥3、preoperative complications、operation time≥240 min、cervical anastomosis;and the protective factor is anastomotic extra manual suturing.Paying attention and controling these risk factors may reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanisms of Runing Recipe II (a recipe composed of traditional Chinese herbs) in inhibiting the growth of breast cancer by observing its effects on the expressions of p53 and ras oncogene proteins and cell cycle of the transplanted Ca761 breast cancer in mice. METHODS: We established the breast cancer model by transplanting Ca761 cells in mice. The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal saline control group, CTX-treated group, Runing Recipe II-treated group, and Runing Recipe II and CTX-treated group, with 12 mice in each group. We detected the cell cycle of the cancer cells in the mice's transplanted tumor with flow cytometry and measured the expressions of p53 and ras oncogene proteins in the transplanted tumor with immunohistochemical methods. RESULTS: The percentages of tumor cells in S-phase of the Runing Recipe II treated group, CTX-treated group and Runing Recipe II and CTX-treated group were significantly lower than that of the normal saline control group respectively (P<0.05). The percentage of tumor cells in G(0)-G(1) phase of the Runing Recipe II treated group was lower than that of the CTX-treated group (P<0.05), while the percentage of tumor cells in G(2)-M phase was higher than that of the CTX-treated group. The immunoreactive scores (IRSs) of p53 in the Runing Recipe II treated group and Runing Recipe II and CTX-treated group were significantly lower than that in the normal saline control group respectively (P<0.05). The effect of CTX on the expression of p53 was not significant. The IRSs of ras oncogene protein in the Recipe II-treated group, CTX-treated group and Runing Recipe II and CTX-treated group were lower than that in the normal saline control group respectively (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Runing Recipe II can inhibit the growth of Ca761 breast cancer in mice by controlling the cell cycle of the transplanted tumor. This may be related to its effect on the gene expressions of p53 and ras in the tumor tissue.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of low-dose and standard-dose intravenous alteplase for acute ischemic stroke. Methods The patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous alteplase from August 2012 to January 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the dosage of the drug, the patients were divided into either a low-dose group (0. 6-0. 8 mg/kg) or a standard-dose group (0. 9 mg/kg). The efficacy was evaluated with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days, and a favorable functional outcome was defined as mRS 0-1. The safety was evaluated by the mortality at 90 days and the incidence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) within 7 d after onset. Results A total of 790 patients were enrolled, including 612 in the low-dose group and 178 in the standard-dose group. There was no significant difference in each baseline clinical data between the 2 groups. Compared with the standard-dose group, there was no significant difference in the good outcome rate of the small-dose group at day 90 (35. 6% vs. 37. 6% ; χ2 = 0. 872, P = 0. 35) and mortality (5. 1% vs. 6. 2% ;χ2 = 2. 173, P = 0. 14), but the incidence of SICH was significantly lower (1. 8% vs. 5. 1% ; χ2 = 5. 875, P =0. 015). Conclusion The efficacy of low-dose intravenous alteplase for acute ischemic stroke is equivalent to the standard-dose and the safety is better.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of fast track surgery (FTS) in neurosurgery. Methods One hundred fifteen patients who underwent neurosurgery surgery in Henan Province People's Hospital from June 2012 to March 2014 were enrolled in this study. All the patients were divided into FTS group (62 cases) and the tra?ditional operation group (53 cases). The clinical index, postoperative hospital stay and hospitalization cost were compared between the two groups. Results The clinical index were significantly lower in FTS group than in traditional operation group (P<0.05). Length of hospital stay (days) and hospitalization cost of FTS group were significantly shorter and lower in FTS group compared with traditonal operation group (8±1 vs. 11±2 days and RMB 4.58 ±0.75 vs. 5.78 ±0.64 ten thou?sand, respectively) (P<0.05). Conclusion FTS in neurosurgery operation is an all-new concept for surgery which can ef?fectively reduce postoperative complications, shorten length of hospital stay, decrease hospitalization cost and promote postoperative recovery.

Objective To investigate the changes of traditional Chinese medical constitution types with menstrual cycle of sub-health state women, thus to explore the affectability of diseases during menstrual cycle. Methods Sub-health State Questionnaire and Menstruation State Questionnaire established in our previous study were used for the epidemiological survey of 330 women outpatients aged 20-45 years admitted by the disease-preventive department of Tianhe District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Results In 330 cases, the cases of sub-health state accounted for 64.5%, in which 21.5%had pure sub-health state without any chronic diseases, and 43.0% had sub-health state together with some diseases. The diseases of hyperplasia of mammary glands, vaginitis, cervical spondylosis, hyperlipemia, chronic appendagitis, and uterus myoma had higher morbidity rate in order. At premenstrual phase, constitution types of Qi stagnation, damp heat, and blood stasis had the higher incidences; at menstruation phase, Qi stagnation, blood stasis, and damp heat had the higher incidences; at postmenstrual phase, yang deficiency, Qi deficiency, and damp heat had the higher incidences. Most of the sub-health state women had the complex constitution types, accounting for 93%. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medical constitution types are correlated with menstral cycle of sub-health state women, and show some effects on the affectability and progress of diseases. The investigation results of dynamic changes and the distribution of traditional Chinese medical constitution types during menstrual cycle will supply some evidence for the prevention and treatment of irregular menstruation and sub-health state of the women with Chinese medine.
