2.Scientific research is the driving force for the advancement in surgery.
Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2011;14(1):5-7
The rapid progress in surgery in China has been closely related to government investment in public health care, construction of medical talents team, and basic and clinical research. The achievements of bench studies promote the development of clinical surgery. Translational medicine (bench-bedside-bench) has gained much attention in the medical community. The driving force promoting long-term development of surgery in China includes collaboration of basic scientists and surgeons, cultivation of surgeons with aptitude in scientific research, initiation of clinical research and popularization of multidisciplinary team.

3.Trend of surgical multimodality treatment for advanced gastric cancer.
Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2012;15(2):99-102
Gastric cancer remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related death in China. Radical operation is the only potentially curative therapy for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). D2 radical gastrectomy has been widely accepted as a standard surgical procedure for patients with AGC in China. Several clinical trials have revealed that more extended resection than D2 surgery has no impact on survival. In order to improve the prognosis of AGC patients, it is necessary to carry out the preoperative TNM staging for selecting a reasonable therapeutical modality before surgery. Multimodality treatment involving perioperative chemotherapy, radiotherapy or molecular targeting agents in addition to surgery have been thought to be promising treatment strategy. In this article, we present an update on the current literature regarding the trends of surgical multimodal treatment for the patients with AGC.

5.Further improving the result of multi-modality treatment for gastric cancer by optimizing scheme and measures.
Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2013;16(2):101-103
The incidence of gastric cancer has declined worldwide in the past decades. However, due to the large number of population in mainland of China, the absolute number of newly-diagnosed patients in this developing country is still very high. Most of the major clinical centers have established multi-disciplinary team, but the strategy in treating this life-threatening disease still needs to be optimized, including the precise preoperative staging by various techniques, perioperative chemotherapy for locally advanced diseases, role of minimally invasive surgical approaches in treating patients with different stages, translational research to fill the gap between clinical trials and basic research, as well as the individualized treatment for gastric cancer. We believe that the biological behaviors and molecular events of gastric cancer in eastern countries are different from that of Western countries, so the clinical evidences derived from Eastern countries need to be strengthened to enrich the unmet demands in the clinical practice in China.

BACKGROUND:Tantalum rod implant technology is a new method of early osteonecrosis treatment. Current research on stress distribution before and after tantalum rod implant in different sizes of femoral head necrosis area is few. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the stress distribution before and after tantalum rod implantation in different sizes of necrotic femoral head area using three-dimensional finite element method. METHODS:Three-dimensional finite element models of normal femoral head and necrotic femoral head of 15, 20 and 30 mm diameterwere constructed. Eight measuring points were chosen on two tiers of each necrotic model to detect the stress distribution and its alteration before and after tantalum rod implantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Stress concentration werefound on every necrotic femoral head, most pronounced on the one with 30 mm lesion. (2) Tantalum implant appeared to reduce the stress concentration generaly. Comparison of the peak points of these models indicated most significant benefit in 15 mm lesion, next in 30 mm lesion, last in 20 mm lesion. (3) Results indicate that larger lesion entails more concentrated stress distribution and more likely to colapse. Tantalum rod implantation can delay the development of necrosis of the femoral head, andismost effective in smal lesion.

Objective:To explore the clinicopathologic features of 112 patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Methods:Da-ta from 112 MCL cases were collected, and immunohistochemical assay was conducted. A break in the CCND1 gene was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The t-test was used in the statistical analysis. Results:All tumor cells in the 112 cases ex-pressed B cell-related antigen, including 1 blastoid subtype and 1 polymorphic subtype. Among all the cases, 106 expressed CD5 and 104 expressed cyclinD1. A break in the CCND1 gene was not found in 3 cases with CD5-MCL. IgH/CCND1 polyploid was found in 2 classical cases. Conclusion:MCL is a type of special immunophenotypic B-cell lymphoma. The prognoses of blastoid and polymorphic subtypes are poor. Special subtypes should be classified during diagnosis.

Objective To explore the signal-to-noise ratio loss (SNR loss) of the people with normal pure-tone audiograms .Methods A group of 10 patients were recruited into the study ,who complained they could not hear speech clearly in the real world environment but had normal pure-tone audiograms ,immittance and word rec-ognition score (WRS) results .The Mandarin hearing in noise test (M-HINT ) was administered to them and the results were compared to the normal ranges published in the journal .Results All of them had SNR loss when noise (speech spectrum) came from front of them ,but 9 patients had SNR loss when noise came from 90 degree left or 90 degree right of them .Conclusion The current study showed the patients had speech hearing loss in the noisy envi-ronment ,regardless of whether they had normal audiograms ,immittance and WRS results .So we should pay atten-tion to such patients and adopt some special tests (eg M-HINT) .It is better for us to communicate and counsel with them .
