Objective:To discuss treatment of complete response cases after neoadjuvant radiotherapy in rectal cancer. Methods:This retrospective study analyzed clinical data of 84 rectal cancer cases with pre-operative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in our hospital from January 2010 to Augnst 2014. Results:After neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, 33 patients presented clinically complete response at a rate of 39.3%. After post-operative pathologic examination, among clinically complete response cases, six cases exhibited patho-logically complete responses at a rate of 18.2%. No recurrence or disease progression occurred within 12-36 months of post-operative follow up. Conclusion:Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy can significantly lower tumor stage and promote clinically complete remission of some patients. However, for clinically complete remission cases, further radical surgery should be provided.

In-stent restenosis is the major problem of percutaneous coronary interventions. Drug-eluting stent became a landmark in the treatment of coronary disease. Curcumin could be used for drug-eluting stent due to its antithrombogenity and antiproliferative properties. In this paper, 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays were performed to decide the optimal concentration of curcumin for inhibiting the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). The result disclosed that more than 80% of VSMC were inhibited when the concentration of curcumin ranged from 2.5 microg/ml to 10 microg/ml (P < 0.05, compared to ethanol). Three weight percent curcumin-loaded films (3wt%, 5wt%, 8wt%) were prepared using a biodegradable polymer (poly (lactic acid-co-glycol acid), PLGA) as the carrier of curcumin. The release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was used to evaluate the immediate toxicity of the curcumin-loaded PLGA films, and the three concentration curcumin-loaded films were revealed to be of no acute toxicity to the smooth muscle cells. The results of Alamar Blue test indicated that the curcumin-loaded films had better antiproliferation effect than did the 316 stainless steel (SS). Therefore, these films may be used for stent coating to inhibit the in-stent restenosis induced by VSMC proliferation.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between plasma cystatin C concentration (PcyC) and coronary artery diseases (CAD). Method A total of 126 subjects with CAD evidenced by coronary angiography admitted from April 2007 to March 2009 were divided into three groups: stable angina pectoris (SAPs, n = 34),unstable angina pectoris (UAPs, n = 56) and acute myocardial infarction (AMIs, n = 36), according to the diag-nostic criteria of CAD set by WHO. Another 34 subjects without CAD were taken as controls. There were no statis-tical differences in demographics among four groups. Serum lipids profile, uric acid (UA), PcyC and high-sensi-tive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were determined. And in the meantime, all patients were followed up for six months and adverse cardiovascular events were recorded. Comparisons were made between groups with a number of independent-sample t -tests. Data were processed with analysis of variance to test the differences in means among four groups, and the means were compared with chi-square test. Statistical significance was established at a P val-ue of less than 0.05. Results Cystatin C levels were significantly higher in UAPs than that in SAPs and in controls (P < 0.05), but were much lower than that in AMIs (P < 0.05). And much higher concentration of hs-CRP was found in UAPs (P < 0.05) and in AMIs (P < 0.01). Cystatin C was positively and significantly corre-lated with age, hs-CRP, WBC, creatinine and UA (r > 0, P < 0.05), whereas a significantly negative correla-tion with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was found (r = - 0.227, P < 0.05). These coefficients were obvi-ously high for creatinine (r = + 0. 612), and WBC (r = + 0.459). During the period of six-month follow-up, 26 patients with adverse cardiovascular events were found, and had significantly higher cystatin C levels than 22 con-trols at admission (P < 0.01). Conclusions Cystatin C plays a pivotal role in the course of CAD, and the PcyC is a strong predictor for the risk of cardiovascular events.

OBJECTIVETo explore the feasibility and safety of scarless laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer.
METHODSClinical data of 26 patients who underwent scarless laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer from January 2011 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Lymph node dissection and transection of proximal and distal colon were performed in the conventional manner of total mesorectal excision (TME). The distal rectum 2 cm away from the tumor was closed with a linear stapler, and was pulled out through the anus. The specimen was extracted through the Alexis. The rectal opening was reclosed with a linear stapler. End-to-end colorectal anastomosis was performed using the double-stapling technique.
RESULTSThe operation time was (126±35) min. The intraoperative blood loss was (33±61) ml. The number of harvested lymph nodes was 17.0±5.6. The time to first bowel movement was (2.7±1.3) d. The postoperative hospital stay was (7.9±2.6) d. Only one case developed anastomotic hemorrhage.
CONCLUSIONScarless laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer is feasible.

In-stent restenosis is the major problem in clinical application of coronary stent. Drug-eluting stent became a landmark in the treatment of coronary disease. However, thrombosis is still a problem of drug-eluting stent. There has been clinical report indicating that thrombosis sometimes is induced by drug-eluting stent implantation in late stage. Curcumin could be used for drug-eluting stent due to its antithrombogenity and antiproliferative properties. In this paper, three weight percent curcumin-loaded films (3wt%, 5wt%, 8wt%) were prepared using a biodegradable polymer (poly (lactic acid-co-glycol acid), PLGA) as the carrier of curcumin. The component of curcumin-loaded film was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the major peaks of curcumin and PLGA were both observed in the composite film. The result of in vitro platelet adhesion test shows that the number of adhered platelet reduces, and few aggregated and activated platelets are observed. For all composite films, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) increases. The results indicate that the curcumin-loaded films have better anticoagulative effect when compared with PLGA. In addition, all anticoagulation tests indicate "the higher the drug content in the film, the better the anticoagulative effect".
