ObjectiveTo determine the clinical effect and the prospect of cervical side-to-side stapled esophagogastric anastomosis. MethodsEighteen cases of upper and middle thoracic esophageal carcinoma were treated with esophagectomy and cervical side-to-side stapled esophagogastric anastomosis. The clinical data were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The average age of patients was 60.7 years and the ratio of male to female was 17∶1. The tumor included 4 upper part and 14 middle thoracic parts. The length of tumors was from 1 cm to 7 cm, with an average of 3.2 cm.ResultsThe post-operative TNM staging(AJCC) included 4 Stage Ⅱa,9 Stage Ⅱb,and 5 Stage Ⅲ. The operative incisions included 8 nontransthoracic cervical and abdominal double incisions, 9 right cervico-thoraco-abdominal triple incisions, and 1 left cervico-thoracic incision. One (5.56%) patient complicated with anastomotic leakage and was cured in 2 weeks by cervical drainage and absolute diet. All the 18 patients were followed up for 1 to 5 years,and no anastomotic stricture was found. Reflux esophagitis was found in 2 and the incidence rate was 11.11%.ConclusionCervical side-to-side esophagogastric anastomosis is a safe procedure with larger resection of margins and fewer complications. It is worth replicating.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of using a new type carina type tracheal prosthesis made of complex material to replace trachea and carina defects. Methods According to biomechanics index, a new carina type tracheal prosthesis was designed and constituted with carbon fiber and silicon. 19 dogs were divided into two groups randomly: group A(n=11), the carina type tracheal prosthesis anastomosed directly to dog′s trachea and bronchus;group B(n=8), based on group A, meanwhile the diaphragm was incised and the pedicel caul was transplanted from abdominal cavity to thorax to enwrap the carina type tracheal prosthesis and anastomotic site. Results The average survival period post operation in group A and group B were (3.462?1.849)d and (6.475?1.062)d ,respectively. There was significant difference of the survival period between two groups(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) on transvascular metastasis of sarcoma cells.Methods The models of intravascular and extravascular migration of tumor cells in vitro were used to observe transvascular metastasis of sarcoma cells(HT1080).Results HT1080 migrated through basement membrane into blood vessels,and migrated through a gap between adjacent endothelial cells into extracellular matrix.The greater number of transmigrated HT1080 treated with HGF was observed(P

AIM: To evaluate the effect of tissue factor on intravascular migration of tumor cells.METHODS: Expression of tissue factor in tumor cells (HT1080) was analyzed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining. An in vitro model was used to observe intravascular migration of tumor cells. RESULTS: High expression of tissue factor was observed in tumor cells (HT1080). The antibody for tissue factor inhibited intravascular migration of tumor cells. CONCLUSION: Tissue factor stimulated tumor metastasis through promoting intravascular migration of tumor cells.

Objective To evaluate the myocardial protective effects of intracoronary(IC)adenosine infusion in patients with coronary heart disease during percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A total of 111 enrolled patients were randomised to receive infusions of saline(control group,55 patients)or adenosine(adenosine group,56 patients).10 mL saline(control group)or 300 ?g adenosine(adenosine group)was given by intracoronary(IC)injection within 1 minute.The peak level of ST-segment elevation in IC electrocardiograms(IC-ECG)and the peak level of cardiac triponin I(cTnI)was analyzed and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)was measured.For the patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI),coronary flow of the infract-related artery was assessed by the method of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction grading.The peak level of sum ST-segment resolution(STR)was measured after one hour of PCI.Results The peak level of serum cTnI in adenosine group was lower than the control group(P

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between low flow rate and reperfusion injury during the process of preserving liver by cold machine perfusing perfluorochemical oxygen carder solution. METHODS: Forty-four male adult Wister rats were randomly divided into normal, control, experimental Ⅰ and experimental Ⅱ groups. In the normal group, the removed liver was performed isolated reperfusion guided by Clavien method. In the other 3 groups, the removed liver was infused through the portal vein by the 4-5 ℃ conserved perfluorochemical oxygen carder solution. The infused rate was controlled at 0.4, 0.2, 0.1 mL/(min·g) with 18 hours perfusion, After that, isolated reperfusion was performed. The activity of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase and endotheiin mass concentration of the effluent was detected at minutes 10, 30, and 60 after reperfusion. The histopathological changes of liver under light and election microscopy were also observed. RESULTS: The activity of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase and endothelin mass concentration had no remarkable differences between the experimental Ⅰ group and control group (P > 0.05). The differences between the experimental Ⅱ group and control group were remarkable (P < 0.05). The light and electron microscopy showed that the histopathological changes of liver in the control and experimental Ⅰ groups was lightener than experimental Ⅱ group. CONCLUSION: During the process of preserving liver by cold machine perfusion, the rate of 0.1 ml/(min·g) perfluorochemical oxygen carder solution increase the injury of hepatocyte and sinusoidal endothelial cells, which eventually result in severity of reperfusion injury.

Objective To identify the biomarkers which can be used of estimating the biological behaviors of prostate cancer with osseous metastasis by SELDI-TOF-MS. Methods Screening for potential tumor biomarkers of serum samples from 19 prostate cancer patients and 35 prostate cancer patients with osseous metastasis by using the technology of SELDI-TOF-MS and CM 10 protein chips (Ciphergen Inc. USA).The PBS Ⅱ protein chip reader was used to analyze the CM10 protein chips and transform the protein information into the form of spectra. The protein contents of two groups in the same mass-to-charge ratio (M/Z value) were analyzed and preceded the analysis of variance by Biomarker Wizard software. The proteins whose contents in serum were significantly different, which was distinguished the correctly groups by Biomarker Pattern software. Results The contents of 4 proteins in the two groups were significantly different and the M/Z values of these 6 proteins were from 2000 to 20 000. The relative protein content of prostate cancer patients group was higher than that of Prostate Cancer patients with osseous metastasis group at the M/Z value of 2089,4281, 3507 and 4178 [(4.63±8.03) vs (9.88±10.77), (19.78±21.46) vs (26.73±19.41), (5.46±10.14) vs (8.10±8.74), (38.01 ±26.27) vs (45.25±20.40), (P＜0.05)]. The relative protein content of prostate cancer patients group was lower than that of prostate cancer patients with osseous metastasis group at the M/Z value of 15 900 and 16 081 [(11.52±16.80) vs (4.84±5.83), (8.55±12.64) vs (3.56±3.90), (P＜0.05)]. Conclusion The associated serum protein in prostate cancer with osseous metastasis can be quickly and exactly diagnosed by SELDI-TOF-MS with high sensitivity and specificity. This new method will be widely used in clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of transrectal ultrasound-guided 10 cores plus fixed-point prostate biopsy for diagnosing prostate cancer.Methods The serum PSA level of 181 patients were determined with ELISA.AU the patients underwent 10 cores plus fixed-point prostate biopsy under the guidance of transrectal ultrasound.Resuits 80 cases with prostate cancer(44.2%),63 cases with benign prostatic hypertrophy (34.8%),36 cases with prostatitis(19.9%),1 cage with tuberculosis(0.6%),and 1 cage with prostate leiomyoma(0.6%).When PSA WaS more than 20 μg/L,the incidence rate of prostate cancer was significantly higher than other PSA levels.Meanwhile,Gleason scores were increased with the advance of PSA levels (P＜0.001).Conclusion Transrectal ultrasound-guided systematic 10 cores plus fixed-point prostate biopsy could significantly enhance the prostate cancer detection rate, and it was important in diagnosing prostate cancer for patients,especially when PsA was more than 20 μg/L.

Objective To observe hematoxylin's cytocidal and apoptosis-inducing effects on human urinary cancer cell-T24,and its cytocidal mechanism to the target cell.Methods Target cells were incubated in the medium 1640 for 24h,which contained hematoxylin in dosage of zero(blank),12.5,25,50,100,200μg/ml,respectively;under inverted microscopy to observe target cells'morphologic change,and then harvest them;by trypan blue tmpochrome method to determine hematoxylin's cytocidal activity to the target cells;by flow cytomelry to detect the effects of hematoxylin in its different levels on target cells'apoptosis.Results The control group(without hematoxylin)showed their target cells in a fusiform adherent growth,plump,close-arranged,and with a good transparence.With the addition and increment of hematoxylin,target cells turned round,not adherent,pyknotic,with a bad transparence,as well as chromatin condensation,the cells clumped.Cell death rate of control group was(2.63±0.29)%,with the increased dosage of hematoxylin the cell death rate of test groups was(10.00±4.82)%,(21.88±3.42)%,(76.41±4.82)%,(92.27±6.54)%,and(96.34±8.70)%respectively.Flow cytometry showed cell apoptosis rate in control group was 0.47%(occurred spontaneously),but hematoxylin in dose of 50μg/ml made the apoptosis rate increased markedly,to 43.1 8%,dead cell rate 48.47%,and survival cell rate 8.35%.With the increased hematoxylin dose,cell apoptosis rate decreased gradually,while dead cell rate increased.Conclusion Hematoxylin can inhibit the target cell by two routes:to induce apoptose or kill it.In a lower dose it is able to induce target cell to apeptose;hematoxylin in a dose over 100μg/ml can directly kill the target cell.Making this trial for checking the cell's morphologic changes benefits determining the optimal dosage level and optimal acting duration for the apoptosis induction.

This study was aimed to analyze the research status of marine medicine in China. The research hot issues and feature rules were summarized in order to discuss development trends for the clinic application and further development of marine medicine in recent 20 years. The CNKI library was used as a source to retrieve literatures on marine medicine. The bibliometric methods and Cytoscape 3.1.1 were used to analyze. The results showed that 582 papers were included. A total of 260 papers were published during 2010 to 2014. And 52 papers were published annually. 266 papers in this field were funded. The papers were mostly published in theChinese Journal of Marine Drugs. A total of 278 research institutes were engaged in the research. And the institute published the most paper was the Ocean University of China. There were 12 researchers who had published more than 5 articles. This study focused on the keywords with highly frequency, which were marine drugs, chemical composition, marine natural products, fingerprints and antitumor. It was concluded that marine medicine had become hot issues. The core of the group has been formed. However, most researches had focused on natural products and pharmacological aspects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory had not been taken seriously and the infrastructure was weak, which obstructed the clinical application of marine medicine. We should expand the discovery and study of knowledge on ancient herbal literature as well as clinic application of marine medicine in order to build the knowledge database of marine medicine and experience mode of clinic application.
