Objective To assess the effect of intraperitoneal interstitial implant of Sustained-release 5-Fluorouracil during operation for advanced rectal cancer. Methods One hundred and four cases with advanced rectal cancer were enrolled into the study and divided into 3 groups: treatment group 1(n = 37), underwent combined hypotonic peritoneal chemo-hyperthermia and Sustain-released 5-fluorouracil implantation treatment during operation; treatment group 2(n = 34), underwent combined intraoperative hypotonic peritoneal chemohyperthermia and early postoperatively intraperitoneal chemotherapy treatment; and control group(n = 33),underwent peritoneal lavage during radical resection alone. Results Digestive tract toxicity in group 1 was significantly lower than that in group 2(2. 70% vs. 20. 59%, x2 = 9. 104, P < 0. 05). There were significant difference on 1 year survival rate among the three groups. The 2-year survival rate of group 1 was significantly higher than that in the control group (78. 37% vs. 48. 48%, x2 = 1. 297 ,P < 0. 05). After two years follow-up the 2-year local recurrence rate of group 1 was significantly lower than that in the control group(21.62% vs 32. 35 %, x2 = 7. 001, P < 0. 05). However, no significant difference was found compared to group 2, which was 32. 35%. Conclusion lntraperitoneal interstitial implant of Sustain-released 5-Fluorouracil during operation is an effective intraperitoneal chemotherapy with mild side effects for advanced rectal cancer.

Objective To explore the value of serum procalcitonin (PCT) for early evaluation of the severity in bacterial infection, and compare it with C-reactive protein(CRP), white blood cell(WBC) and temperature to understand their strengths and weaknesses. Methods A sample of 139 impatients with bacterial infection from July 2009 to June 2010 in our hospital were divided into four groups, including local bacterial infection group(Group A, n = 50), sepsis group(Group B, n = 51), severe sepsis group(Group C, n = 21) and septic shock group (Group D, n = 17) according to ACCP/SCCM consensus conference and the clinical manifestation. Twenty noninfectious patients during the same time were recruited as control(Group E, n = 20)PCT, CRP,WBC and temperature were evaluated in all patients before treatment and PCT were measured 5 days after treatment. Results During the early period of the bacterial infection, PCT was highest in Group D ([42.36±48.49] × 10-6 g/L),which was higher than that of (4.66 ±2.46) × 10-6 g/L in Group C,( 1.08 ± 0. 68) × 10 -6 g/L in Group B and (0. 09 ± 0. 05) × 10 -6 g/L in Group A(Ps < 0. 05), PCT in the four infectious groups were all higher than the control group([0. 05 ± 0. 01 ] × 10-6 g/L)(Ps < 0. 05). No significant difference in CRP between Group D and Group C, neither did between Group C and Group B (Ps >0. 05). No significant difference was found in WBC between Group D and Group C,neither did between Group D and Group B (Ps > 0. 05). Temperature in Group D was not significantly different to Group C(P > 0. 05). After 5 days' treatment, PCT decreased in the four infectious groups than before. Conclusion The level of PCT can be used to evaluate the severity of infection during the early period of bacterial infection, which is better than CRP,WBC and temperature. PCT decreases after effective treatment,which can help monitor the patients' condition.

Objective To explore the relation of stroke and metabolic syndrome (MS), and provide theoretical evidence for prevention of stroke and MS. Methods Five hundred stroke patients accompanied with MS were enrolled, and divided into different types according to the distribution of the components of metabolic syndrome and abnormal metabolic condition. The systolic blood pressure(SBP) ,diastolic blood pressure( DBP),fasting glycemia ( FPG ), triglycerides ( TG ), total cholesterol ( TC ), low density density lipoprotern-cholesterol (LDL-C), high density density lipoprotern-cholesterol (HDL-C)of each patient were detected and recorded. Results Among these stroke patients with MS, most patients were 60 - 69 years old ( 39.60% ), and there was no significant difference between two gender( P = 0. 545 ). Among each component of MS, hypertension was most related to MS;patients complicated with hypertension + hyperlipidemia + hyperglycemia were the most major proportion of stroke patients with MS(48. 00% ). Conclusion MS and its components are all risk factors for stroke,and the more complication the patients had,the more patients suffered from stroke with MS. Targeted interventions of different type of abnormal condition has important prevention effect on MS and stroke.
