Objective To compare the clinical efficacy between standard sequential early enteral nutrition (EEN) plus parenteral nutrition (PN) and PN alone in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. Methods Werandomly divided 126 patients who underwent laparotomy gastrointestinal surgery into EEN + PN group (n = 62) and PN group (n = 64). The levels of blood nutrition-related indicators, biochemical indicators, and inflammatory indicators were determined before surgery and 3 and 7 days after surgery, and the gastrointestinal function recovery time, complications, nutritional support cost, and length of hospital stay were compared between two groups. Results The preoperative nutrition-related indicators, biochemical indicators, and inflammatory indicators showed no significant differences between two groups (P >0. 05). Three days after operation, however, the levels of prealbumin in EEN + PN group were significantly higher than those in PN group [(160. 3 ±23. 0) g/L vs. (137.0±28.7) g/L, P=0.000]. Seven days after operation, the levels of albumin [(33.6±3.8) g/L vs. (31.8±4.7) g/L, P = 0.042], prealbumin [(210.6±34.6) g/L vs. (154.8 ±36.9) g/L, P=0.000], and lymphocyte cell count [(2.33±0.53) x 109/L vs. (1.04±0.36) × 109/L, P = 0. 046] in EEN + PN group were significantly higher than those in PN group, and the levels of serum γ-glutamyltransferase [(48. 12 ± 33.84) U/L vs. (71.54±34.00)U/L, P=0.048], C-reactive protein [(31.15 ± 19.00) mmol/L vs. (45.90 ± 23.21) mmol/L, P=0.042], total cholesterol [(3.09±0.83) mmol/L vs. (3.29±0.91) mmol/L, P = 0. 045] and low density lipoprotein [(2.01 ± 0. 39) mmol/L vs. (2. 31 ± 0. 72 ) mmol/L, P = 0. 049] were significantly lower than those in PN group. The postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery time in EEN + PN group was significantly shorter than that in PN group [(65. 7 ± 15. 6) hours vs. (75. 1 ± 27. 0) hours, P = 0. 036], and the total cost of perioperative nutrition in EEN + PN group was also significantly lower than in PN [(2634. 5 ±1306. 8) RMB vs. (3058. 6 ± 1216. 0) RMB, P= 0.046]. Conclusion Standard sequential EEN plus PN can increase the post-operative prealbumin level, improve the immune function, promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, and decrease the cost of nutritional support.

Ultrafine powder and cell wall-broken powder of herbal medicine lack of the morphological characters and microscopic identification features. This makes it hard to identify herb's authenticity with traditional methods. We tested ITS2 sequence as DNA barcode in identification of herbal medicine in ultrafine powder and cell wall-broken powder in this study. We extracted genomic DNAs of 93 samples of 31 representative herbal medicines (28 species), which include whole plant, roots and bulbs, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. The ITS2 sequences were amplified and sequenced bidirectionally. The ITS2 sequences were identified using Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) method in the GenBank database and DNA barcoding system to identify the herbal medicine. The genetic distance was analyzed using the Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) model and the Neighbor-joining (NJ) phylogenetic tree was constructed using MEGA 6.0. The results showed that DNA can be extracted successfully from 93 samples and high quality ITS2 sequences can be amplified. All 31 herbal medicines can get correct identification via BLAST method. The ITS2 sequences of raw material medicines, ultrafine powder and cell wall-broken powder have same sequence in 26 herbal medicines, while the ITS2 sequences in other 5 herbal medicines exhibited variation. The maximum intraspecific genetic-distances of each species were all less than the minimum interspecific genetic distances. ITS2 sequences of each species are all converged to their standard DNA barcodes using NJ method. Therefore, using ITS2 barcode can accurately and effectively distinguish ultrafine powder and cell wall-broken powder of herbal medicine. It provides a new molecular method to identify ultrafine powder and cell wall-broken powder of herbal medicine in the quality control and market supervision.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of fragile site WWOX gene on regulating proliferation of gallbladder cancer cells in vitro. Methods The pcDNA3.0 - WWOX recombinant plasmid which was previous successfully built was transfected to GBC-SD cells and empty carrier by liposome medium. Liposome and GBC-SD were served as the negative control and the blank control,respectively. After 48 hours transfection, inverted microscope was used to observe the changes of gallbladder cancer cells' morphology,MTT and BrdU were used to detect the proliferation level of gallbladder cancer cells,and flow cytometry instrument was used to detect the change of the cell proliferation cycle. Results The results of inverted microscope shown: the number of GBC-SD cells in pcDNA3.0-WWOX group decreased significantly,the suspension cells and cell debris increased,while cells in the vector control,NC and Mock groups were in normal proliferation state. MTT test showed the proliferation levels of GBC-SD cells in pcDNA3.0-WWOX group was lower than those in the control group in 24 h,48 h,72 h,96 h and 120 h,and the differences were statistically significant(P < 0.05). The cell proliferation activity in the pcDNA3.0-WWOX group was obviously inhibited over time. BrdU detection results showed the cell proliferation rate of pcDNA3.0 - WWOX group was(0.44±0.03),while that in the three control groups was(0.78±0.02), (0.81±0.01)and(0.85±0.01),respectively. It showed that cell proliferation activity in pcDNA3.0-WWOX group was lower than the control groups,and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). Cell cycle detection showed the cells increased in G0/G1 phase and decreased in G2/M and S phases of pcDNA3.0-WWOX group. The cell apoptosis rate was significantly higher and the proliferation index was significantly lower than those of the control groups(P < 0.05). However,there were no significant differences among the three control groups(P > 0.05). Conclusion The overexpression of WWOX gene in vitro could effectively inhibit the proliferation activity of gallbladder cancer cells. WWOX might participate in the development of the malignant biological behavior of gallbladder cancer cells. It is expected to become a new potential target for the gene therapy to gallbladder cancer.

Objective To evaluate MRI in judging the therapeutic effect of argon-helium cryoablation therapy for prostate cancer. Methods The clinical data and imaging materials of 16 patients with prostate cancer , who had received ultrasound-guided argon-helium knife cryogenic treatment at authors ’ hospital during the period from March 2012 to Oct. 2014, were retrospectively and comprehensively analyzed. The preoperative and postoperative laboratory test results were compared with MRI findings, and the ablation effect was assessed, focusing on the surgical residue, metastasis, etc. Results One months after the surgery, MRI demonstrated that satisfactory ablation extent was obtained in all patients, the ablated tumor tissue was characterized by long-T2 signal and no obvious recurrence could be found on DWI and DCE-MRI. A slight decrease of PSA level was observed. Six months after the surgery, MRI revealed that the prostate size was significantly reduced, PSA level was markedly decreased and no obvious evidence of recurrence was observed. No severe postoperative complications, such as urethral necrosis, urethral stricture or urethro-rectal fistula, occurred. During the 6-month following-up time, one patient died from other causes. Conclusion MRI has excellent clinical application value in estimating the ablation extent and in judging postoperative recurrence or metastasis of prostate cancer after argon-helium cryoablation treatment.
