2.Management of malignant bowel obstruction
International Journal of Surgery 2008;35(10):708-710
Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is common in patients with bowel or gynaecological canc-er. Although surgery is the primary treatment for most patients with MBO, it should not be undertaken rou-finely in patients with poor prognosis. Nasogastric drainage is only a temporary measure. Serf-expanding me-tallic stents are optimistic in malignant obstruction of the gastric outlet and proximal small bowel.
3.Comprehensive treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors
International Journal of Surgery 2008;35(8):531-534
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours(GISTs)are the most common primary mesenchymal tumours of the gastrointestinal tract and the disease is occasional and asymptomatic. Though the high rate of recur- rence after surgery, operation remains the firstline treatment of the GIST without metabasis. With the consid- eration the molecular biology of tumor, the treatment including surgery and molecular targeted therapy can im- prove the prognosis of GISTs.

Objective To compare the efficiency and safety of clopidogrel of different loading-dose in acute coronary syndromes(ACS) patients with percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) therapy, and, give an assessment of security about higher loading dose of clopidogrel. Methods 120 patients from January 2008 to January 2009 in our hospital were included.They were randomly divided into 3 groups(na=nb=nc=40)and were given 600 mg,450 mg and 300 mg clopidogrel on the 6 hour before PCI. There was no significant difference between the three groups' basic clinical information(p>0.05),such as age, sex and so on. Four points were selected to observe: the platelet aggregation induced by ADP with 5umol/L before and two hours、four hours, six hours after taking medicine; Primary endpoint events, which include shock during hospitalization, death, target revascularization, myocardial infarction, recurrent angina, stroke in 30 days,and Postoperative Bleeding events and adverse Reactions after Surgery in 30 days. Results compared to the standard dose of 300 mg clopidogrel, 600 mg doses clopidogrel can give a greater degree of inhibition on platelet activating than 450 mg doses in the pre-6 h after administration. Increase Clopidogrel loading dose can reduce the occurrence of major cardiovascular events rate. Bleeding events and the occurrence of adverse events was no significant difference among three groups. Conclusions compared to the standard dose of 300 mg clopidogrel, a higher loading dose of clopidogrel can produce much more faster, greater platelet inhibition, and similar security.
