New technologies and ideas are constantly emerging recently. With the arrival of the era of minimally invasive surgery, most of the colorectal cancer surgeries can be conducted through minimally invasive techniques. In this study, we discuss the status, characteristics, controversy, and consensus of minimally invasive techniques in colorectal cancer surgery.

Quantitative measurement of strain distribution of arterial vessel walls due to pulsatile blood flow within the vascular lumen is valuable for evaluating the elasticity of arterial wall and predicting the evolution of plaques. The present paper shows that the three-dimensional (3D) strain distribution are estimated through uni-directional coupling for 3D vessel and blood models reconstructed from intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images with the computational. fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation technique. The morphology of vessel wall and plaques as well as strain distribution can be visually displayed with pseudo-color coding.

Human body often contacts with different kinds of pathogens,but these pathogens do not result in disease due to innate immunity.The adaptive immunity is able to discriminate self and non-self pathogen and further maintain immunological health and appropriate response through peripheral regulatory mechanism.Whether innate immune or adaptive immune,lack of control mechanism leads to autoimmunity and autoinflammation.Up to now,some studies demonstrated that autoimmunity and autoinflammation have many common characteristics in intraocular inflammation,but their mechanism relates to different molecular pathways.Hence,ophthalmologists have better understanding in the pathogenesis of uveitis.Herein,it is inferred from the basic mechanism of the activation of immunology pathway that regulation of innate and adaptive immunity might impact how autoinflammatory and autoimmune pathways contribute to disease progress in uveitis.

This study revealed that the content of intra and extracellular polysaccharides may be related to the cultural conditions.With decreasing NaHCO 3 or NaNO 3 concentration,the content of intracellular polysaccharide was reduced,Reduction of NaNO 3 concentration still caused the rise of extracellular polysaccharides.The K 2HPO 4 or NaCl concentration also had an effect on the production of both intracellular and extracellular polysaccharides.When PH value of media maintained at 8.0,there was the highest content of intra and extracellular polysaccharides.The same high content also occurred after culture of nine days.In addition the content of intracellular polysaccharide was higher under continuous light than under the light/dark circle.

This paper reports serum ?_2 microglobiln (?_2M in abbreviation) in 216 normal children of different ages. Urin ?_2M in 60 normal adults; and both in 50 cases of common glomerular disease in children were detected by RIA. The results showed that serum ?_2M is more accurate than BUN in judging the renal function. The elecating serum ?_2M is coincidence with the elevating of diastolic pressure of the sick children. The dynamic observation on delayed cases examination of serum ?_2M and urin ?_2M may be of help in monitoring the pathological changes in glomerular and tubule.

Objective:To investigate whether plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A_(2)(Lp-PLA_(2)) activity correlates with severity and stability of coronary atherosclerosis and other established cardiovascular risk factors.Methods: Coronary angiography(CAG) was performed in 180 hospitalized patients who were suspected as having coronary heart disease(CHD).The severity of pathological changes of the coronary artery was assessed by the number of diseased coronary branches and Gensini′s score.According to the results of CAG,the 180 patients were divided into 2 groups: CHD group(n=112) and non-CHD group(n=68).The CHD patients were further divided into subgroups according to the clinical types,the number of diseased coronary branches and Gensini′s score.Lp-PLA_(2) activity,white blood cell(WBC) count,high sensitive C reactive protein(hsCRP),lipids,blood pressure and body mass index were measured.The age,sex and prior medical histories including hypertension,diabetes mellitus and smoking status were obtained before CAG in all patients.Lp-PLA_(2),WBC count and hsCRP were compared statistically between the subgroups,and correlation coefficients of Lp-PLA_(2) activity with WBC count,hsCRP and other conventional risk factors for CHD were calculated.Results: Plasma Lp-PLA_(2) activity in CHD patients was significantly higher than that in controls(P

Objective To observe the effectiveness of naloxone treatment for acute alcohol toxicosis.Methods The effectiveness of naloxone treatment for 262 cases of acute alcohol toxicosis were compared with the effectiveness of routine treatment for 184 cases of the same toxicosis.Results The mean syptom subsidence time of medium degree toxicosis cases and the mean consciousness regaining time of serious degree toxicosis cases of naloxone treatment group were separately (05?02) hours and (98?21) hours(P
