Objective:To clarify the indications and efficacy after simultaneous surgical treatment in gastric cancer patients with synchronous hepatic metastases (GCHM).Methods:A total of 21 GCHM patients who underwent D2 gastrectomy with R0 hepatic resection (11 cases) or non-R0 hepatic resection (10 cases) from March 2004 to April 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.The clinicopathological characteristics and survival were compared between the two groups.Results:Cumulative survival rate was improved in R0 hepatic resection group compared with non-R0 hepatic resection group:1-year (54.5％ vs 48.0％),2-year(27.3％ vs 0％),and 5-year(27.3％ vs 0％,P=0.044).The median survival time in R0 hepatic resection group and non-R0 hepatic resection group were 16.2 and 5.9 months (P=0.008).Univariate analysis revealed that Bormann's classification (P=0.010) and state of regional lymph node (P=0.004) were significant predictive factors regarding cumulative survival rate.However,there was no significant prognostic factor (P=0.031) in multivariate analysis might partly owing to interaction among them and/or a small number of patients.Conclusion:Multidisciplinary treatments based on R0 hepatic resection combined with D2 gastrectomy could improve survival in selected GCHM patients.

Objectives It was constructed that the replication defective adenoviral vectors carried the short hairpin sequences of mouse SCP2.And we will make a further study of mechanism between SCP2 gene and cholesterol stone in gallbladder.Methods The short hairpin sequences of mouse SCP2 were cloned by two-step PCR,and connected together with the plasmid pDC312.The Admax Adenoviral Vector System was used to generate the replication defective adenoviral vectors,which were purified by CsCl method.The processes of TCID50 were applied to detect the titers of the adenoviral vectors.Furthermore,Protein levels of SCP2 were determined by Western blot analysis,and the levels of SCP2、CYP7A1、HMGCR mRNA from the hepa1-6 cell of mouse were measured by the usage of RT-PCR.Results SCP2mRNA and SCP2 protein were down-regulated by the replication defective adenoviral vectors carried the SCP2-shRNA.With the decreasing SCP2mRNA,the levels of HMGCRmRNA were down-regulated at same the time,while CYP7A1mRNA were up-regulated.Conclusions The replication defective adenoviral vectors carried SCP2-shRNA were constructed successfully.The lower levels of SCP2 could affect the activities of HMG-CoA reductase and CYP7-a enzyme,which caused the variations of cholesterol metabolism and then decreased the formation of cholesterol stone.
