Journal of Clinical Surgery 2000;0(06):-
Objective To study the relationship between the recurrence of stomach cancer and the procedure of primary operation.Method 1106 cases of gastric were analyzed cancer retrospectively.Results There are 853 cases in all patients we got the material of follow up. The outcome of distal radical resection is better than that of other resection according to the site of lesion. The most procedure is D2 resection according to the area of lymph node disection. The survival rate is higher in D1 resection than other resection.Conclusion Different procedures should be adopted in different site of lesion, area of lymph node metastasis and condition of tumor infiltration. Extraresection can be done only in selective patients.

Objective To analyze the relationship between the chemotherapeutic efficacy and VEGF expression in the patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. Methods 51 cases with oral squamous cell carcinoma who received preoperative chemotherapy of a total 80mg pingyangmycin were enrolled in this study. The relationship among the chemotherapeutic effect, VEGF expression, fever, and the duration of fever was analyzed using linear correlation, stepwise regression and student t-test. Results VEGF expression in the cancer cells of 92.1%(47/51) patients decreased after preoperative chemotherapy, and the decreased expression of VEGF was not significantly correlated with chemotherapentic efficacy. But the chemotherapeutic effect was closely related with fever degree in the early stage of chemotherapy. Conclusion There was no significant relationship between chemotherapeutic effects and VEGF expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Fever in early stage of chemotherapy may serve as an index for evaluating the patient prognosis.

BACKGROUND: With good biocompatibility, osteoconduction and biodegradability, calcium phosphate ceramics is considered as a substitute of autologous bone; furthermore, it also has the potentiel of osteoinduction after structure optimization. OBJECTIVE: To review the physicochemical properties of calcium phosphate ceramic and its osteoinduction. METHODS: A computer-based search of databases such as PubMed, Springer, ResearchGate and Baidu Academic was performed for articles relevant to calcium phosphate ceramics published from January 2000 to October 2015. And the keywords were “calcium phosphate, osteoinduction, tissue engineering, scaffolds” in English. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: To date, there are four ideal kinds of calcium phosphate materials including hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, amorphous calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate biphasic ceramic material. Hydroxyapatite has better strength and cel adsorption capacity, but has poor biodegradation. Tricalcium phosphate has good abilities of osteogenesis and degradation, but its degradation rate is hard to match the new bone formation,and its strength is also relatively poor. Amorphous calcium phosphate has neither strength nor solubility. In contrast, biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics has moderate degradation rate between hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate, and therefore, it either can be replaced by autologous bone after degradation or exhibits proper strength. While how to further improve the physical properties and promote osteogenesis stil need much deeper research.

BACKGROUND: Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) current plays an important role in regulating heart spontaneous pulsation.OBJECTIVE: To observe target gene expression and electrophysiological characteristics of pig bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transfected with hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 2 (HCN2) gene recombinant adenovirus.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Cell-gene in vitro study was performed at the Laboratory of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery,Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from July 2007 to March 2008.MATERIALS: Yorkshire pig was supplied by Animal Institute, Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. HCN2 plasmid was presented by Professor Dario DiFrancesco from Italy. Recombinant adenovirus Ad.HCN2 was constructed and stored using Ad5 in this laboratory.METHODS: Pig BMSCs were isolated with combination of gradient centrifugation of Percoll and adherent treatment in vitro.Ad.HCN2 was transfected at multiplicity of infection=50. We also set non-transfection and transfected Ad.Null groups.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Expression of HCN2 mRNA was detected with RT-PCR, and expression of HCN2 channel protein was examined with immunofluorescent staining. Electrophysiology of HCN2 channel protein was measured with whole-cell patch clamp.RESULTS: No amplified fragments were found in the non-transfection and transfected Ad.Null groups, but amplified fragments were determined at 250-500 bp following Ad.HCN2 amplification, which was the same as plasmid carrying HCN2 gene. Staining strength of cell nuclei following transfection was significantly weaken compared with cell membrane and plasma, which showed identical distribution as HCN2 protein. No HCN2 protein was detected in the non-transfection and transfected Ad.Null groups.Pacemaker current could be recorded with a whole-cell patch clamp. It was fully activated around -140 mV with an activation threshold of -60 mV, presenting voltage dependence. CsCI (4 mmol/L) reversibly blocked the inward currents. No pacemaker current was detected in the non-transfection and transfected Ad.Null groups.CONCLUSION: The HCN2 recombinant adenovirus carrier was transferred into serial subcultivation porcine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. HCN2 channel protein has been expressing. Pacemaker current could be recorded with a whole-cell patch clamp.

Objective To analyze the protein expression in the rat hippocampus by the proteomic approach.Methods Proteins from hippocampal tissue homogenates of the rat were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE),and stained with colloidal Coomassie blue to produce a high-resolution map of the rat hippocampus proteome.Selected proteins from this map were digested with trypsin,and the resulting tryptic peptides were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS).The mass spectrometric data were used to identify the proteins through searches of the NCBI protein sequence database.Results 37 prominent proteins with various functional characteristics were identified.The identified brain protein classes covered metabolism enzymes,cytoskeleton proteins,heat shock proteins,antioxidant proteins,signalling proteins,proteasome-related proteins,neuron-specific proteins and glial-associated proteins.Furthermore,3 hypothetical proteins,unknown proteins so far only proposed from their nucleic acid structure,were identified.Conclusion This study provides the first unbiased characterization of proteins of the rat hippocampus and will be used for future studies of differential protein expression in rat models of neurological disorders.

Objective To evaluate the simulation of standardized patients (SP) in objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for general practice residency training.Methods The simulation levels of 15 SPs were evaluated by 37 examiners with a rating scale of OSCE Examiner Feedback on SP performance from Melbourne University School of Medicine.The evaluation was conducted in history-taking and doctor-patient communication stations of OSCE for general practice residency training.Results The overall scores of SP performance were high and most examiners considered that the performance of SP was realistic and consistent.Among 9 items of rating scale,more than 90% of the examiners considered that SP performance met or completely met the requirements of OSCE,except the item of preparation for clothing and making up before role playing.Six items of performance in history-taking station and 4 items in doctorpatient communication station reached 100% satisfaction from the examiners.T test was used to compare the difference of SP performance between the morning and afternoon,and there was no significant difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion The study showed for this group of SPs,the realistic degree and consistency of performance meet the requirements of OSCE,and its stability is not affected by long time continuous performance.
