Objective To compare the efficiency of repairing perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) with continuous stitching to that with interrupted stitching. Methods Of the 158 patients with perimembranous VSD ( 54% males) ,102 ( 65% ) patients underwent the repairing of continuous stitching (continuous group) ,and 56 patients underwent interrupted stitching (interrupted group). All the surgeries were performed under hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Results The cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross-clamp times were (31 ±14) mins and (18 ±12) mins in the continuous group, which was significantly less that those of (42 ± 16) mins and (25 ±11) mins in the interrupted group (t =4.49 and 3. 61 .respectively ,P <0. 05) . No case was died. The main complications involved temporary M atrioventricular block (AVB) of two cases (1 case in each group),which disappeared after 1 week. There were two remnants remaining leak (n =2) which was less than 3 mm and automatically cured after 3-6 months. Complete right bundle branch block(CRBBB) occurred in 3 cases in the continuous group and 6 cases in the interrupted group,of which 3 disappeared after 1 month and 2 disappeared after 12 months. The outcome was good in all cases after 1-3 years follow up. Conclusions Continuous stitching showed a shorter cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times, and reduced the CRBBB.

Objective To investigate the damages on pancreas after different fractionated irradiation in rats.Methods Eighy healthy adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups with 20 rats in each group as conventional fractionated irradiation group with 2 Gy per fraction to a dose of 12 Gy,hypofractionated radiation group with one fraction of 12 Gy,middle-dose fractionated radiation group with 6 Gy per fraction to a dose of 12 Gy in the interval of 4 days and control group without radiation.Changes in weight,fasting blood glucose and amylase were measured and morphological changes were observed in different periods.Results In the experimental groups,the reduction was observed in fasting glucose at 4 d,reached a minimum of (3.1 ±0.1 ) mmol/L,(LSD-t =20.06 -28.74,P ＜0.001 ) and the increase of amylase was found after 4th and 7th day,reached a maximum of (84.5 ±6.4) U/L(Dunnett's-t=23.10 -46.10,P ＜ 0.001 ),both more obvious in hypofractionated radiation group than those of conventional fractionated radiation group and middle-dose fractionated radiation group ( LSD-t =8.72-9.71,Dunnett's-t =7.11,P ＜ 0.05 ),however the levels in conventional fractionated radiation group was nearly to middle-dose fractionated radiation group (P ＞ 0.05 ) and became normal at 14 d.Under light microscope,the necrosis of acinarcells was observed in hypofractionated radiation group at 4th d,interstitial fibrogenesis were found at 14 d,the fibrogenesis were found in pancreatic island at 21 d,and the hyperplasia of acinarcells was observed at 42 d.The same changes were found in conventional fractionated radiation group and middle-dose fractionated radiation group,which were gently and lately than those of hypofractionated radiation group.Conclusions Radiation injury is not more serious after middle-dose fractionated radiotherapy than that after conventional fractionated irradiation,when the proper fractional dose and intervals are chosen.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TOCE) and percutaneous absolute ethanol injection (APEI) in moderate or advanced liver cancer.Method During May,1993～Aug,1999, 137 patients with unresectable advanced liver cancer were retrospectively studied. 85 cases only received TOCE, 52 cases were treated by TOCE+APEI by B-US guidance.Results The effect in TOCE+APEI group was significant better than that in only TOCE group,the half year, 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates of the TOCE+APEI group were 86 54%,67 31%,43 55% and 21 77%,while those of the TOCE group were 65 89%,47 92%,22 12% and 1 48% respectively.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expression of inhibin subunit Beta A (INHBA) and the clinicopathological data and its effect on proliferation, invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells and its possible mechanisms.Methods:Using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) public database to verify the expression of INHBA mRNA in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues and its relationship with pathological stage and prognosis; the relationship between INHBA and clinical prognosis was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier Plotter online database. Immunohistochemistry was used to confirm the correlation between protein expression level of INHBA in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues and clinical pathological staging. In vitro, the cell proliferation was detected by tetrazolium salt (MTT) method; the cell migration ability was detected by scratch test, and cell invasion and metastasis ability was detected by transwell chamber assay. The expression of INHBA and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related proteins was detected by Western blot. Results:The GEPIA database and Kaplan-Meier Plotter online database analysis showed that INHBA mRNA was highly expressed in various cancer tissues and significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues than normal tissues ( P<0.05). The high expression of INHBA mRNA was associated with clinical stage and poor prognosis of gastric cancer ( P<0.05). The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the staining score of INHBA in gastric cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues ( P<0.05), and its expression level was correlated with clinical tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage ( P<0.05). The results of MTT, scratch test and transwell chamber showed that INHBA overexpression could promote the proliferation, migration, invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells, while interference with INHBA expression could inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells; Western blot results showed that the expression of CDH1 was down regulated and the expression of CDH2 was up-regulated after INHBA overexpression. The expression of CDH1 was up-regulated and the expression of CDH2 was down-regulated after INHBA overexpression was inhibited. Conclusions:INHBA is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues compared with adjacent tissues. The expression level of INHBA is related to tumor progression and poor prognosis. INHBA can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer MGC-803 cell line and its mechanism may be related to INHBA promoting cell EMT.

Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods:The tumor tissues and metastatic lymph node tissues of 3 PTC patients who underwent radical surgery of thyroid cancer in the First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine from January to February 2019 were collected, and the differential expressed genes were screened by high-throughput sequencing; 20 cases of primary tumor tissues and metastatic lymph node tissues were collected to verify the sequencing results. Another 20 cases of primary PTC tissues and adjacent tissues (>2 cm away from the tumor edge) were collected to verify the expression of target genes in tumor tissues and adjacent tissues. Sixty-four pathological specimens of PTC patients who underwent radical surgery of thyroid cancer in the First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine from January to December 2014 were collected, of which 31 patients had lymph node metastasis. The real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of GDF-15 and verify the sequencing results; immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of GDF-15 protein in the primary PTC tissues, adjacent tissues and metastatic lymph node tissues. According to the expression of GDF-15 protein in the primary tumor tissues of PTC patients, the patients were divided into high-expression group (35 cases) and low-expression group (29 cases), and the relationship between GDF-15 expression level and clinicopathological characteristics of patients was analyzed; Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the 5-year tumor-free survival rate of the two groups.Results:The mRNA high-throughput sequencing results of 3 cases of PTC primary and metastatic tissues showed that the top 10 differential expressed genes were CDH2, CDF15, DKK1, GLIPR1, PCDH7, ID3, FBN1, MYPN, UBASH3B and CCDC80. The expression of GDF-15 mRNA in 20 cases of PTC primary tumor tissues and adjacent tissues were 4.1±0.5 and 2.8±0.3, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 2.220, P = 0.032). The expression of GDF-15 mRNA in another 20 cases of PTC primary tumor tissues and metastatic lymph node tissues were 3.1±0.4 and 5.8±0.7, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.556, P = 0.001). The results of immunohistochemistry showed that GDF-15 had the immunohistochemical scores of (4.0±0.3) points, (6.1±0.3) points and (9.0±0.4) points in PTC adjacent tissues, primary tumor tissues and metastasis tissues. The expressions of GDF-15 protein between PTC primary tumor tissues and adjacent tissues, metastatic tissues and adjacent tissues, and metastatic tissues and primary tumor tissues were significantly different (all P < 0.01). The differences in composition ratios of tumor long-axis diameter, tumor T stage and N stage between GDF-15 high-expression group and low-expression group were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The 5-year tumor-free survival rates in GDF-15 high-expression group and low-expression group were 60% and 83%, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.033). Conclusions:The expressions of GDF-15 in PTC adjacent tissues, tumor tissues and metastatic lymph node tissues gradually increase, and its expression level is related to tumor progression, recurrence and metastasis. It can be used as a potential clinical prognostic warning molecule and therapeutic target.

Cerenkov luminescence imaging ( CLI) , as an emerging molecular imaging method, has been extensively studied in tumor imaging, therapy monitoring and some other aspects. However, because of the weak penetration of Cerenkov radiation, CLI can not image the deep tissues. This review summarizes the modalities to overcome this problem.
