Objective To evaluate the safety,tumor radical and early postoperative efficacy through comparison of laparoscopic gastric D2 radical surgery with traditional open gastric D2 radical surgery.Methods 254 patients with upper stomach cancer underwent surgery were selected,132 cases using conventional open gastrectomy (the traditional laparotomy group),122 patients underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (laparoscopic surgery group).Laparoscopic surgery group with traditional open surgery group had no statistically significant differences in gender,age,tumor location,histological type and TNM staging.Results Open surgery group and laparoscopic surgery group had statistically significant differences in operative time [(235.78±31.56) min,(256.43±54.08) min,P ＜ 0.001],blood loss [(326.69±89.73) ml,(158.31±62.98) ml,P ＜ 0.001],incision length [(16.53±2.34) cm,(5.51±1.15) cm,P ＜ 0.001],gastrointestinal recovery time [(4.22±0.91) d,(3.31±0.83) d,P ＜ 0.001],first time eating liquid [(5.78±0.95) d,(5.56±0.78) d,P ＜ 0.001] and postoperative hospital stay [(12.62±2.89) d,(11.18±1.78) d,P ＜ 0.001].The total number of lymph node dissection and complications was not statistically significant.Conclusions Laparoscopic gastric D2 radical surgery is a safe,minimally invasive surgical method.Laparoscopic gastric D2 radical surgery has the same lymph node dissection and good early outcome compared with the traditional gastric D2 radical surgery,but postoperative recovery fast and less invasive.

AIM:To detect the endogenous expression of B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 6 member B (BCL6B) in FHC and LoVo cells, and to investigate the effects of BCL6B on proliferation and migration of LoVo cells for further explo-ring the underlying mechanism .METHODS:The endogenous expression of BCL 6B in the FHC and LoVo cells was detec-ted by RT-PCR and Western blot .The methods of MTT assay , colony formation assay , wound healing assay and Transwell chamber experiment were employed to examine the biological functions of BCL 6B in the LoVo cells.The mRNA and protein levels of BCL6B, cyclin D1 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 ( MMP-9) were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot , re-spectively.The level of phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT) was detected by Western blot.RESULTS:BCL6B ex-pression was notably repressed in the LoVo cells as compared with the FHC cells , which were significantly increased by transfection with pcDNA3.1-BCL6B.The abilities of proliferation and migration of the LoVo cells at 72 h were inhibited by 28.33%(P<0.01) and 36.11%(P<0.05) in BCL6B group.The mRNA levels of cyclin D1 and MMP-9 in the cells of BCL6B group were decreased by 39.90%(P<0.01) and 77.36% (P <0.05), and the protein levels of cyclin D1, MMP-9 and p-AKT were reduced by 44.00%(P<0.05), 47.06%(P<0.01) and 32.88% (P<0.05), respectively. CONCLUSION:BCL6B inhibits proliferation and migration of the LoVo cells , and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is in-volved in this process .

Objective Exploring the effect of Tong luo tang tai(TLTT)on diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN)in GK rats with Wnt/β-The influence of the catenin signaling pathway.Methods Fifty GK rats were randomly divided into model group,TLTT high,medium,and low dose groups,and Western medicine group,with 10 rats in each group.Another 10 wistar rats were selected as the normal group.Except for the normal group,all other groups were fed with high fat to prepare DPN rat models.After 15 weeks,the DPN model was successfully prepared,and the rats in each group were treated by gavage.The high,medium,and low dose groups of TLTT were given traditional Chinese medicine TLTT 28 g·kg-1,14 g·kg-1,and 7 g·kg-1,respectively.The western medicine group was given metformin 100 mg·kg-1 and mecobalamin 0.2 mg·kg-1 by gavage.Rats in each group were administered once a day for 8 consecutive weeks.The general state,fasting blood sugar(FBS),thermal contraction latency(TWL),motor nerve conduction velocity(MNCV),and pathological changes in the sciatic nerve tissue were observed under transmission electron microscopy(Real time PCR)Western blot detection of wingless MMTV integration site family member 3A(Wnt3a)β Catenin(β-Catenin,Glycogen Synthesis Kinase-3β Glycogen synthesis kinase-3β,GSK-3β)MRNA and protein expression levels of antagonists(WNT inhibitor factor-1,Wif-1)on the Wnt signaling pathway.Results Compared with the normal group,the model group showed poorer general condition and significant pathological ultrastructural changes in the sciatic nerve.Its FBS level increased(P<0.01),TWL level decreased(P<0.01),and MNCV significantly slowed down(P<0.01).The model group had Wnt3a β-Catenin,GSK-3β MRNA and protein expression levels decreased(P<0.05),while Wif-1 mRNA and protein expression levels increased(P<0.01).After drug intervention,compared with the model group,the general condition and pathological ultrastructure of the sciatic nerve were improved in the TLTT high,medium,low,dose,and Western medicine groups,with a decrease in FBS levels(P<0.01)and an increase in TWL levels(P<0.05).The MNCV of each TLTT dose group and Western medicine group was significantly improved(P<0.01).The Wnt3amRNA of the TLTT high-dose group and Western medicine group was significantly increased(P<0.05),while the Wif-1mRNA of the TLTT high-dose group and Western medicine group was significantly reduced(P<0.05),There was a significant increase in Wnt3 protein in the high-dose and Western medicine groups of TLTT(P<0.01),as well as in the high-dose,medium,and low-dose TLTT and western medicine groups β-Catenin protein significantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.05),with high,medium,and low doses of TLTT and Western medicine group GSK-3β The protein significantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.05),while the Wif-1 protein significantly decreased(P<0.01,P<0.05)in the high and medium dose TTLTT and western medicine groups.Conclusion Tongluo Tangtai can alleviate sciatic nerve injury in DPN to a certain extent,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of Wnt/β,the catenin signaling pathway is involved.

Studies have suggested that the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is implicated in the pathophysiology of major depression; however, the regulatory strategy that targets the NAc to achieve an exclusive and outstanding anti-depression benefit has not been elucidated. Here, we identified a specific reduction of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the subset of dopamine D1 receptor medium spiny neurons (D1-MSNs) in the NAc that promoted stress susceptibility, while the stimulation of cAMP production in NAc D1-MSNs efficiently rescued depression-like behaviors. Ketamine treatment enhanced cAMP both in D1-MSNs and dopamine D2 receptor medium spiny neurons (D2-MSNs) of depressed mice, however, the rapid antidepressant effect of ketamine solely depended on elevating cAMP in NAc D1-MSNs. We discovered that a higher dose of crocin markedly increased cAMP in the NAc and consistently relieved depression 24 h after oral administration, but not a lower dose. The fast onset property of crocin was verified through multicenter studies. Moreover, crocin specifically targeted at D1-MSN cAMP signaling in the NAc to relieve depression and had no effect on D2-MSN. These findings characterize a new strategy to achieve an exclusive and outstanding anti-depression benefit by elevating cAMP in D1-MSNs in the NAc, and provide a potential rapid antidepressant drug candidate, crocin.
