Objective:To investigate the effect and safety of Jinweitai combined with triple therapy in the treatment of gastric ul-cer. Methods:Totally 140 cases of gastric ulcer patients were randomly divided into two groups, group A was given clarithromycin, amoxicillin, bismuth pectin and pantoprazole in Hp eradication triple therapy, while group B was additionally given 0. 3g Jinweitai oral-ly, po,tid. The treatment course was 8 weeks. The effect was observed and compared. Results:Both the total effective rate and Hp e-radication rate of group B were higher than those of group A, the rate of mild inflammation and non-neutrophils infiltration after the treatment in group B were higher than those in group A (P<0. 05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups was without statistical significance (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Base on the conventional Hp eradication triple therapy, Jinweitai can increase Hp e-radication rate and promote inflammation eliminate without extra adverse reactions in the treatment of gastric ulcer.

Objective To explore the influence of carbamazepine on the plasma homocysteine (Hcy),folic acid and vitamin B12 levels in the treatment of epilepsy.Methods The clinical medical history and medication com-pliance of 80 epilepsy patients were retrospectively analyzed.40 cases treated with carbamazepine were set as group A,another 40 cases without taking antiepileptic drug therapy were set as group B.And 40 cases in the same period in hospital physical examination were selected as control group.The levels of blood Hcy,folate and vitamin B12 were detected by using the fluorescent quantitative method,the electrochemical luminescence immunoassay,and the differ-ences of three groups of the levels were compared.Results The Hcy level of group A was significantly higher than the control group and group B(F =7.16,P =0.00),and the folic acid level of group A was significantly lower than the control group and group B(F =9.67,P =0.00).The Vit B12 concentration of group A was lower than the control group and group B,but among the three groups,the difference was not statistically significant(F =1.05,P =0.15). Loss of appetite and body weight decreased in 4 cases,2 cases of dizziness,fatigue,but symptoms were mild,did not affect the findings.Control in 13 cases,12 cases were markedly effective,effective in 8 cases,ineffective in 7 cases,the total effective rate was 82.5%.Conclusion Carbamazepine treatment can cause epilepsy patients blood Hcy level rise,and folic acid level drop,has no significant effects on the Vit B12 concentration,so in patients with epilepsy should pay attention to monitor blood Hcy and folic acid level during the treatment,in order to avoid adverse events such as thrombosis and influence the prognosis.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of liver metastasis from gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of 225 patients with liver metastasis from gastric cancer who had been admitted to our hospital from January 1996 to December 2001 were retrospectively analyzed. Synchronous liver metastasis was observed in 123 patients and metachronous liver metastasis in 102 patients. The risk factors of liver metastasis from gastric cancer were evaluated. Results The gender of patients, location and size of gastric cancer foci, differentiation and invasion depth of gastric cancer, Lanren classification, lymph node metastasis and lymph node metastasis in region Ⅷ, vascular invasion, extrahepatic metastasis, ascites and peritoneal metastasis were the significant factors associated with liver metastasis from gastric cancer (X2 = 43.560-263. 907, P<0.05). All the factors except the size of gastric cancer foci, extrahepatic metastasis and ascites were found to be the significant factors associated with different types of liver metastasis from gastric cancer (X2 = 6.673-26. 555, P < 0.05 ). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the gender of patients, lymph node metastasis and peritoneal metastasis were the factors that determined the types of liver metastasis from gastric cancer. Conclusion The gender of patients, lymph node metastasis and peritoneal metastasis are the important factors to evaluate the occurrence of different types of liver metastasis from gastric cancer.

BACKGROUND:Kidney-tonifying herbs have been reported to promote tendon-bone healing in rabbits after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). OBJECTIVE:To verify the effects of kidney-tonifying herbs on tendon-bone healing after ACLR. METHODS:Seventy patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury undergoing ACLR were randomly assigned to study group (administration of Liuwei dihuang pil s+celecoxib) and control group (administration of celecoxib alone). Preoperative, postoperative 6-and 12-month assessments of patients by the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Form and MRI imaging were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Postoperative Lysholm scores were significantly increased compared with preoperation in the study and control groups (P<0.05), and the scores of sections stair-climbing and instability and total scores of the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale in the study group were superior to those in the control group (P<0.05). Postoperative IKDC scores were significantly increased compared with pre-operation in the study and control groups (P<0.05), and the scores of section flaccid leg and subjective function and total scores of the IKDC in the study group were superior to the control group (P<0.05). The enlargement rate of middle and proximal parts of grafts was significantly increased in the study group compared with the control group 6 months postoperatively (P<0.05), and the enlargement rate of middle and distal parts of grafts was significantly increased in the study group compared with the control group 12 months postoperatively (P<0.05). The tibial and femoral tunnel enlargement was observed in both groups at 6 and 12 months postoperatively (P<0.05). The enlargement rate of the tibial tunnel was significantly decreased in the study group compared with in the control group (P<0.05). The signal-noise ratio of the femoral end and middle part of grafts in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group 6 months postoperatively (P<0.01). In contrast, the signal-noise ratio of the femoral end and middle part of grafts in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group 12 months postoperatively (P<0.05). Our results indicate that kidney-tonifying herbs can improve the tendon-bone healing after ACLR.

BACKGROUNDTo investigate the relationship between the size of primary tumor, pathologic classification, cell differentiation or location of tumor and lymph node metastasis in lung cancer.

METHODSThree hundred and thirty-two patients with lung cancer underwent pulmonectomy plus extensive dissection of hilar and mediastinal nodes. The law of lymph node metastasis was analyzed.

RESULTSA total of 3 280 lymph nodes were removed. Metastatic rates of N1 and N2 were 29.9% and 22.4% respectively. The total lymph node metastatic rates of T1, T2, and T3 diseases were 8.5%, 27.4% and 61.2% respectively ( P < 0.005). No lymphatic metastasis was observed in well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, however, the lymph node metastatic rates in moderate- and poor-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma were 16.8% and 19.6% respectively. The lymph node metastatic rates were 27.5% and 71.6% in moderate- and poor-differentiated adenocarcinoma respectively ( P < 0.005). The total lymph node metastatic rates in central and peripheral squamous cell carcinoma were 19.6% and 11.7% respectively ( P < 0.005), while in adenocarcinoma, the rates were 57.9% and 24.0% respectively ( P < 0.005). The N2 metastatic rates in central and peripheral squamous cell carcinoma were 10.9% and 2.9% respectively ( P < 0.005), while in adenocarcinoma, the rates were 47.5% and 17.8% respectively ( P < 0.005 ). Under the same T status, cell differentiation or location of tumor, the metastatic rate of adenocarcinoma was much higher than that of squamous cell carcinoma ( P < 0.005 ).

CONCLUSIONSThe frequency of lymph node metastasis significantly correlate with size of primary tumor, pathological classification, cell differentiation and location of tumor.

Objective To compare the efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis combined with intravascular therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS)from different treatment opportunities and its impact on prognosis.Methods A total of 180 AIS patients admitted to Wenzhou Central Hospital from July 2021 to September 2023 were selected as study objects,and divided into group A(thrombolysis within 2h),Group B(thrombolysis within 2-3h),group C(thrombolysis within 3-4.5h),group D(thrombolysis within 4.5-6h)and group E(thrombolysis within 6-9h)according to different thrombolysis times after owset.There were 36 cases in each group.All patients received alteplase intravenous thrombolysis combined with intravascular therapy.Vascular recanalization,neurological function,prognosis,ability of daily living and complications were compared among all groups.Results Vascular recanalization rate of five groups had statistical significance(χ2=11.500,P=0.022).Vascular recanalization rate of group E was significantly lower than that of other four groups(P<0.05),and vascular recanalization rate of group D was significantly lower than that of groups A,B and C(P<0.05).After thrombolysis,National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score and modified Rankin scale(mRS)score of patients in all groups were significantly decreased with the extension of time(P<0.05).At different time after thrombolysis,NIHSS score and mRS score in group E were significantly higher than those in other four groups,and NIHSS score and mRS score in group D were significantly higher than those in groups A,B and C(P<0.05).After thrombolysis,Barthel index(BI)of all groups increased significantly with the extension of time(P<0.05).At different time after thrombolysis,BI score of group E were significantly lower than those of other four groups,and BI score of group D were significantly lower than those of groups A,B and C(P<0.05).Within 90 days after thrombolysis,there was no significant difference in the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage,oral hemorrhage,nosocomial infection and cerebral hernia among five groups(χ2=1.356,P=0.852).Conclusion Alteplase intravenous thrombolysis combined with intravascular therapy in AIS patients within 4.5h has better clinical efficacy and better prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the value of D2+ lymph node dissection for patients with distal advanced gastric cancer.

METHODSClinicopathological data of 305 cases with distal advanced gastric cancer receiving D2+(n=68) or D2(n=237) lymph node dissection in the Tianjin Cancer Hospital from January 2003 to December 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. The overall 5-year survival rate between the 2 groups.

RESULTSThe median survival was 36 months and the 5-year overall survival rate was 40.3% in all patients. The 5-year overall survival rates in the D2+ and D2 groups were 50.4% and 37.4% respectively, and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.049). In multivariate prognostic analysis however, the extent of lymph node dissection was not identified as an independent prognostic factor(P=0.174). Subgroup analysis showed that 5-year survival rate of D2+ group was significantly higher as compared to D2 group for the following subgroups: maximum diameter of tumor larger than 4 cm(43.9% vs. 27.0%), Borrmann type III(-IIII((55.5% vs. 30.1%), poorly differentiated and undifferentiated tumor (49.8% vs. 37.0%), T4 stage (47.8% vs. 31.0%), N2 stage (53.3% vs. 13.9%), N3 stage (20.0% vs. 9.6%) and positive No.6 lymph nodes (33.1% vs. 16.0%).

CONCLUSIONCompared with D2 lymph node dissection, D2+ lymph node dissection may benefit some patients with large, poorly differentiated, or late-stage tumor.
