Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopy in anterio r lumbar interbody fusion. Methods Twenty-three laparoscopic anterior lumbar int erbody fusions were performed in the period between December 2000 and December 2 002. There were 9 males and 14 females with a mean age of 52 years (range, 46 to 66 years). In this group, there were 18 of spondylolisthesis, 3 of lumbar spina l instability and 2 of degenerative disc treated with anterior lumbar interbody fusion using Syncage and autograft with balloon-assisted endoscopic extraperiton eal gasless exposure. The main complaints were low back pain radiating to leg. 1 3 cases were fused at L4,5 and 10 at L5S1. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) w as recorded to evaluate the function preoperatively, and in the 2nd week, 3rd, 6 th and 12th month postoperatively. X-ray was taken to observe the fusion and the subsided cage. Results The operative time ranged from 50 to 180 min with a mean of 120 min, and the bleeding volume ranged from 50 to 300 ml with a mean of 80 ml. There were complications in 2 cases, one which was caused by laparoscopic mi sguidance, and the other was bleeding due to a small vessel injury. All the case s were followed-up from 12 to 24 months, with a mean of 16.6 months. The ODI was found with significant difference comparing preoperatively to at 2nd week, 3rd, 6th and 12th month postoperatively (P

objective To study the inhibition effect and its mechanism of a non - cytotoxic chemotherapy drug in the growth of gastric cancer. Methods The inhibition effect was observed in the growth of xenotransplanted gastric cancer cells MKN45 with a gastrin receptor(GR) antagonist. On the basis of the determination of expressed GR in 34 patients with gastric cancer, we evaluated the preliminary clinical effect of PGL to gastric cancer with the positive GR. Results It is less tumor area, weight and gastric cancer cells DNA Index, average DNA contents and S phase fraction in PGL group than in control group. It is the least in PGL + SST group. GR is easy to be expressed in advanced gastric cancer of the body, cardia and fundus. With the 16-21 months follow- up of 14 patients with positive GR gastric cancer, we find that 2 patients died in control group of 8 patients, and all patients are alive in PGL group. Conclusion PGL can regulate the growth of gastric cancer cells MKN45. It would be able to improve the prognosis of gastric cancer.
