Objective To study the effect of surgery combined with 125I radioactive particles and chemotherapy in advanced gastric antrum cancer. Methods The data of 45 patients with advanced gastric antrum cancer were collected. The nutritional status, quality of life and survival time of patients in surgery combined with 125I radioactive particles and chemotherapy group (group A, 23 cases) and chemotherapy group (group B, 22 cases) were compared. Results The average period that patients canˊt eat through the mouth in group A was 10.22 months, it was 6.32 months in group B, and the difference between group A and group B was statistically significant (t= 3.765, P= 0.001). There were statistically differences in quality of life scores between the two groups at 3rd month and 9th month [3rd months: (73.48 ±19.21) scores vs (59.09 ± 24.86) scores, t= 2.178, P= 0.035; 9th month: (42.17±14.55) scores vs (32.05±21.10) scores, t= 3.43, P=0.001]. There were statistically differences in nutritional status between the two groups at 3rd month and 9th month (χ2 = 9.846, P= 0.020; χ2 = 7.713, P= 0.049). At 9th months, 7 patients died in group A and 13 patients died in group B, and there was a difference between the two groups (χ2= 3.964, P= 0.046). The overall survival rates of 12 months in two groups had not difference (P= 0.119). Conclusion The treatment of surgery combined with 125I radioactive particles and chemotherapy can improve the nutritional status and quality of life in patients with advanced gastric antrum cancer, and extend life appropriately in one year.

Objective To explore the corrective effect of traumatic eyeball depression through bone grafting without extra facial skin incision.Methods Six cases of traumatic fracture of all around eye socket with obvious eyeball depression deforming were treated.Under the local anaesthesia,the corresponding conjunctiva approaching was chosen according to the site of orbital fracture.Bone grafting with medial conjunctiva approach was chosen to the medial eye socket wall fracture,the lateral conjunctiva approach was chosen to the lateral wall fracture,and the inferior conjunctiva approach was chosen to the inferior wall fracture.The size and the shape of bone transplant should be estimated by the CT films previously.Results All the six cases were obviously improved.As the surgery was performed under the local anaesthesia,the movement of eyeball and the vision could be adjusted and be kept watch on timely.The surgery was less trauma and easy recovery,without new skin incision and eyeball functioning affection for all six cases.Conclusions The surgical approach is one of a way of reforming eyeball depressing.

Objective To detect the effect of osthole on proliferation and apoptosis of HL-60 cells and its molecular mechanism.Methods HL-60 cells proliferation was measured through the CCK8 assay method.The cell morphological changes were observed by Hoechst33342 staining after 8 h of drug effect.Induction of apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy.Expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA were evaluated by RT-PCR,and the expressions of cleaved caspase-3,caspase-8,caspase-9,Fas and FasL were evaluated by using western bolt assay.Results Osthole could inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells,the maximum inhibiting rate was (90.7 ±4.5)％,F =138.46,P =0.000; the apoptosis rate was 33.6％,F =27.75,P =0.006.The changes of apoptosis of cells and nucleus were shown in cell morphological observation.Osthole affected the decrease of the mRNA levels of Bcl-2 and the increase of the Bax mRNA levels via a dosedependent manner(F =210.12,P =0.000).Western blotting demonstrated that osthole could lead to the increase of the expression levels of cleaved caspase-3,caspase-8,caspase-9,Fas and FasL in the HL-60 cell line via a time-dependent manner.Conclusion Data suggests that osthole inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of HL-60 cells through mitochondria-dependent pathway and death-receptor pathway.

Objective To study arterial distribution of rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap and to evaluate whether it can be divided into several units for reconstruction. Methods The arteries of the rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap were studied on 60 sides of cadavers by dissection and angiography. Results The superior epigastric artery (SEA) and the inferior epigastric artery (IEA) continued in a longitudinal direction. Most of their branches took on a typical spiral configuration and communicated with each other within muscle above the level of umbilicus. Many perforating arteries penetrated through the anterior rectus sheath to get to the overlying skin, but the highest concentration of major perforators were in the paraumbilical area. The inferior epigastric artery was more significant than superior epigastric artery in supplying the skin of the musculocutaneous flap. Based on thefstudies of the vascular anatomy of muscles, we could classify arterial distribution into 3 types: type Ⅰ (SEA 26.5 %, IEA 34.6%) revealed a single main intramuscular artery: type Ⅱ (SEA 64.7 %, IEA 48.1%) had two major intramuscular branches; type Ⅲ (SEA 8.8%, IEA 17.3 %) revealed three intramuscular branches. Our anatomic studies showed that the superior and inferior epigastric artery bifurcated or divided into more than two main branches in the majority of cases (SEA 73.5%, IEA 65.4%). Conclusion The rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap could often be divided into several regions for breast construction which is based on the distribution of each branch of the artery.

Objective To discuss the methods and evaluate the effects of initial muscle-enclosing protection of large segment of exposed Achilles tendon and second stage repair of Achilles tendon rupture complicated with cuta-neous defect.Methods Among patients treated between August 2005 to April 2014 in our hospital,there were 32 patients,who were diagnosed with Achilles tendon rupture complicated with cutaneous defect.Of the 32 patients, there are 21 male and 11 female.Their ages range from 23 to 69,with an average age of 46.2 ±3.5.In all the patients described above,there are soft tissue contusion injuries and cutaneous defects on their posterior lower legs near the ankles,with the area of skin defects ranging from 3cm ×4cm to 5 ×12cm,and the Achilles tendons were ruptured, extracted,dissociated and completely uncovered.All patients were initially treated with triceps surae muscle-enclosing method to put aside and protect the large segment of exposed Achilles tendon.Later,the ruptured Achilles tendons were repaired,together with the transfer of skin flap to repair skin defects,at the second stage.The therapeutic effects were evaluated during postoperative follow-up periods.Results The mean follow-up period was 18 months,ranged from 11 to 32 months.According to the therapeutic effect evaluation standard of Arner-Lindholm,there were Excellent results in 22 patients,Good in 7 cases and Poor in 3 cases,with a combined excellent/good rate of 90.62%.Conclusion Initial muscle-enclosing protection of large segment of exposed Achilles tendon and second stage repair of Achilles tendon rupture complicated with cutaneous defect is advantageous to the function of patients with rapid recovery.
