Objective To study the clinical features, diagnosis and surgical treatment of thoracic malignant lymphoma. Methods Clinical data of 22 patients with malignant lymphoma were retrospectively analyzed. Among them 16 were classified as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B cell lymphoma 12 cases and T cell lymphoma 4 cases), and 6 were classified as Hodgkin's lymphoma (nodular sclerosing lymphoma 5 cases and 1 case of mixed cellularity type lymphoma). Most of the tumors were located in anterior mediastinum or middle superior mediastinum, and 2 of the tumors located in upper left lung, another 2 located in upper right lung. Cough, stethocatharsis, chest distress and chest pain were the main clinical symptoms. Abnormal masses in mediastinum were seen on X ray film, occasionally with changes in lung. Before the operation, 4 cases were misdiagnosed depended on the results of intracranial puncture examination, and the other 18 cases were misdiagnosed as either lung cancer with mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis or thymoma based on the imaging findings. All patients received either total tumor resection or partial excision. After the operation, 16 cases with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma received CHOP chemotherapy (2 cases received radiotherapy and 2 cases received autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after chemotherapy), 6 cases with Hodgkin's lymphoma received ABVD regimen (2 case received radiotherapy). Results Fourteen cases with non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma (2 cases for stage Ⅰ, 4 cases for stage Ⅱ, 3 cases for stage Ⅲ, 5 cases for stage Ⅳ) had survived for 1-112 months until the follow-up, 6 cases with Hodgkin′s lymphoma (2 cases for stage Ⅰ, 1 case for stage Ⅱ, 1 case for stage Ⅲ, 2 cases for stage Ⅳ) had survived for 3-46 months. Two cases with non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma died 18 and 35 months after operation, respectively. Conclusions The preoperative diagnosis to thoracic malignant lymphoma is difficult for the special clinical features limited. Surgical excision is important for diagnosis and treatment of thoracic malignant lymphoma. Comprehensive treatment after surgery includes radiotherapy, regular chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Objective To explore the effect of surgical treatment of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC). Methods Data were collected from 94 patients with BAC (including 67 cases with pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, 16 cases with BAC by local infiltration and 11 cases with adenocarcinoma having BAC character). All patients were proved pathologically bronchioloalveolar carcinoma from January 1989 to December 2003. Clinical features, characteristics of radiology, methods of treatment and survival status were studied retrospectively. Surgical treatment and efficacy approaches according to different TNM stages and clinical patterns were also analyzed. Results Ninety-eight patients underwent complete resection and 4 underwent palliative operation and 2 underwent exploratory thoractomy. The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates were 75.5 %, 53.2 %, 41.5 %. According to international staging system of lung cancer, there were marked difference in stage Ⅰ group, stage Ⅱ group and stage Ⅲ group (P <0.01). According to pathological classification, there were marked difference in pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, BAC with local infiltration and adenocarcinoma having BAC character (P <0.01). Conclusion Bronchioalveoar carcinoma is a special form of lung cancer. It has its own characteristics on biology,radiology,clinic or pathology. Lobectomy is performed commonly in patients with bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. It may be concluded that the early diagnosis, early therapy are the key points for improving the survival rate of BAC.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effect of endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) for gastric stromal tumors.MethodsA total of 33 patients with gastric stromal tumor orgination from deep muscularis propria layer received EFTR from January 2010 to July 2011.The effectiveness and safety of EFTR were compared with those of other 34 patients with gastric stromal tumor origination from muscularis propria layer who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).ResultsExcept in 2 patients with lesions larger than 3.0 × 3.0 cm,EFTR was successful in others 31 patients,who recovered well and had no recurrence during the follow-up within 12 months.There were no significant differences in resection rate,incidence of complications,body temperature,white blood cell counts or recovery time between 2 procedures (P ＞ 0.05 ).However,the number of clips used in EFTR ( 7.0 ± 3.5 vs.4.9 ± 3.1,P =0.013 ) and postoperative fasting days (3.4 ± 1.5 vs.2.0 ± 1.0,P =0.001 ) were significantly higher than those of ESD procedures.ConclusionEFTR is effective and safe for gastric stromal tumors with no higher risk than ESD,but it is more complex technically.EFTR can be used as an expanding method of ESD in endoscopic treatment of gastric stromal tumors.

Objective To evaluate ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract plus core-out fistulectomy for complex cryptoglandular anal fistulas.Methods Forty-one patients were divided into ligation and control group randomly.In ligation group (20 cases),patients underwent ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract plus core-out fistulectomy procedure.While in control group (21 cases) fistulotomy on low sphincter with cutting-seton on high sphincter procedure was performed.The primary end points of the study were healing rate and continence by using the Wexner score.Secondary end points were postoperative pain in the third and seventh day with the use of the visual analog scale,length of hospital stay and followed measures for a recurrent fistula.Comparison of measurement data using independent samples t-test or paired samples t-test,compared with the count data using Fisher's exact test.Results There was no statistical difference in the healing rate between ligation group (90％) and control group (95％) (P ＞0.05).Postoperatively,one case in ligation group reported incontinence for gas,compared to 7 cases in control group,among these 7 cases 2 cases also had incontinence for watery stool.Statistical differences were found between two groups in Wexner scores,visual analog scale scores and length of hospital stay (P ＜0.05).Conclusion Ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract plus core-out fistulectomy is an economical,safe,little painful,recovery enhanced and minimally invasive technique to treat complex anal fistulas.

Objective: To explore the effect of recombinant human interleukin-17AI (IL-17A) on the growth of colon cancer cells, and to investigate the related mechanism. Methods: The colon cancer SW480 cells were divided into control group and experimental group. The SW480 cells in control group were untreated and the SW480 cells in experimental group were added with 50 fig • L_1IL-17A. The proliferation abilities of SW480 cells in two groups were detected by CKK-8 method. The levels of IL-17A in the SW480 cells in two groups were detected by ELISA, and the expression levels of signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) and p-signal transducers and activators of transcriptions 3 (p-STAT3) were examined by Western blotting methed. Results: Compared with control group, the proliferation ability of the SW480 cells in experimental group was increased (P < 0 . 05). The level of IL-17A in the SW480 cells in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group (P< 0. 01). Compared with control group, the expression levels of STAT3 and p-STAT3 proteins in the SW480 cells in experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0 . 01). Conclusion: Recombinant protein IL-17A can stimulate the growth of colon cancer SW480 cells, which may be related to the activation of STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum resistin,leptin and adiponectin with microangiopathy in the patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods One hundred and twenty patients with T2DM in our hospital were selected and divided into the non-microangiopathy group (NON-MAP,60 cases) and microangiopathy group (MAP,60 cases) according to whether complicating microangiopathy.Other 60 individuals undergoing healthy physical examination were selected as the normal control group(NC).Fasting serum resistin,adiponectin and leptin levels were detected in each group.Fasting blood glucose,insulin and blood lipid levels were also detected.The insulin resistance was evaluated by using insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR).Results The levels of serum resistin,leptin,free fat acid(FFA) and hs-CRP in the NON-MVP group and MVP group were signifi cantly higher than those in the NC group,while the adiponectin level was sigrnificantly lower than that in the NC group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The correlation analysis showed that serum resistin and leptin levels had positive correlation with hs-CRP,FFA,HOMA-IR and TG(P＜0.05),and had negative correlation with HDL-C(P＜0.05);the adiponectin level was negatively correlated with hs-CRP,FFA,HOMA-IR and TG,while positively correlated with HDL-C(P＜0.05);serum resistin and leptin levels had positive correlation,both had significantly negative correlation with adiponectin;with serum resistin,leptin and adiponectin as the dependent variables,the multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that HOMA-IR and waist to hip ratio had maximal influence on them.Conclusion Serum resistin and leptin levels increase and adiponectin level decrease in T2DM patients suggests that serum resistin,leptin and adiponectin are correlated with T2DM occurrence as well as microangiopathy occurrence.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare Xuangui zhitong dispersible tablets and optimize its formulation technology. METHODS:Using disintegration time as index,single factor test was conducted for filler,disintegrating agent,the types and amount of adhe-sives and compression pressure. The amount of mixed disintegrating agent,avicel and gum arabic were optimized by orthogonal test. The tablet quality by optimized formulation was detected,and disintegration time,the content and dissolution rate of tetrahy-dropalmatine were determined;the similarity of in vitro dissolution rate of dispersible tablets and dropping pills were evaluated by similarity factor test.

Objective:To observe the effect of Er Chen Tang on CYP2E1 and mitochondrial energy metabolism in nonalcoholic fat-ty liver disease ( NAFLD) to explore the role of Pinellinae Rhizoma Praeparata ( PRP) and Citri reticulatae pericarpium ( CRP) in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Methods:Er ChenTang and the prescription without PRP or CRP was respectively given the animal models by gastric gavage. The serum levels of ALT, AST, triglyceride, cholesterol, SOD and MDA in hepatic tissue, and the contents of liver tissue CYP2E1 and ATP were detected in the mice. Results:The CYP2E1 levels in NAFLD mice increased signif-icantly with abnormal mitochondrial energy metabolism. Compared with those in the model group, the levels of ALT, AST, triglyceride and cholesterol were significantly reduced by Er Chen Tang, meanwhile, the content of CYP2E1 was reduced and also restored liver en-ergy metabolism. The treatment effect significantly decreased when the lack of PRP or CRP, and the ability of restoring liver mitochon-drial energy metabolism of Er Chen Tang decreased significantly when the lack of PRP (P<0. 05). After the removal of CRP, the in-hibition ability of Er Chen Tang to CYP2E1 levels significantly decreased (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Er Chen Tang can effectively im-prove nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases, and effectively reduce the content of CYP2E1 in liver tissue of mice and restore the mitochondri-al energy metabolism.
