2.A clinicopathological analysis of 22 cases of multiple malignant tumors.
Chinese Medical Sciences Journal 2002;17(2):124-126
To get a better understanding of the location, pathophysiology, etiology and prognosis of multiple malignant tumors (MPMT), we evaluated the medical records of 22 patients with MPMT. Our results suggested that radiotherapy and chemotherapy might play an important role in the pathogenesis of MPMT and follow-up is important in detecting a secondary primary malignant tumor (PMT) at an early stage. Surgical removal of tumors is the first-choice therapy for MPMT.

We report a case of ruptured mycotic aneurysm involving innominate artery requiring an urgent surgical treatment. A 62-yr-old woman presented with fever and dyspnea. Previously, she was diagnosed with colon cancer and received right hemicolectomy and one cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy. On echocardiogram, pericardial effusion was noted and emergency pericardiocentesis was performed. CT scan revealed aortic aneurysm involving ascending aorta and innominate artery, and thrombi surrounding those structures. Patch repair of the defect in the ascending aorta and ringed Goretex graft to bypass the innominate and ascending aorta were performed. We believe that this is the first case of ruptured mycotic aneurysm involving innominate artery.

OBJECTIVETo observe and compare the therapeutic effect of Jianpi Huoxue herbs (JPHXH) combined with chemotherapy (CT) in treating post-operational colonic cancer patients with Pi deficiency Syndrome (PDS).
METHODSAdopting randomized control trial method, 64 patients were divided into two groups. The treated group (n = 43) received JPHXH plus CT and the control group ( n = 21 ) received CT alone. A treatment course of 3 months was applied to both groups. Therapeutic effect, changes of PDS and incidence of adverse reaction in the two groups were observed.
RESULTSThe tumor remission rate in the treated group and the control group was 39.5 % and 33.3 %, respectively. The effective rate on PDS in the treated group and the control group was 72.1% and 19.0%, respectively, showing significant difference (P < 0.01). The incidence of adverse reaction was lower in the treated group than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONJPHXH is effective in treating post-operational colonic cancer patients with PDS and relieving the adverse reaction of chemotherapy to certain extent.

Bacterial pericarditis has been recognized as a rare disease since the development of antibiotics. Usually, the disease is associated with underlying conditions or a seeding of infection elsewhere to the pericardium. Here we describe a case of group G streptococcal pericarditis as an initial presentation of colon cancer. A 52-yr-old man was admitted because of dyspnea. An electrocardiogram showed a diffuse ST-segment elevation and a two-dimensional echocardiogram showed a large amount of pericardial effusion. A pericardiocentesis was done and purulent fluid was drained. Group G streptococci was cultured in pericardial fluid. The patient was treated with antibiotics and pericardiostomy with saline irrigation. A colonoscopy revealed a small mass with moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma in rectosigmoid colon. He underwent a mucosectomy and was recovered without any complication.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the indication of surgical treatment for primary colorectal carcer with simultaneous hepatic metastasis.
METHODS116 colorectal cancer patients with simultaneous hepatic metastasis underwent surgery from January 1990 to December 2001. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (Release 11.5, SPSS, Inc). The survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method, and the survival comparison was carried out using the log-rank test. Multivariate analysis was performed using Cox regression.
RESULTSTotally, 116 patients received surgical resection for primary colorectal tumor, 18 of them underwent liver metastasis resection simultaneously. Postoperative complication developed in 14.7% of these patients with postoperative death in two patients. The overall 5-year survival rate was 14.29%. The 5-year survival rate of those who had liver metastasis resection was 32.12%. Multivariate analysis showed that liver metastasis resection, abdominal carcinomatosis, chemotherapy and intervention treatment were the most important prognostic factors.
CONCLUSIONSurgical resection of primary colorectal cancer with simultaneous resection of liver metastasis or with combined modality therapies such as chemotherapy and intervention treatment is effective to prolong patient's survival for primary colorectal cancer patient with simultaneous hepatic metastasis.

7.Clinical efficacy of buzhong yiqi pill combined with imodium in treating post-operational diarrhea in patients of colonic cancer.
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2008;28(8):738-741
OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical efficacy of Buzhong Yiqi Pill (BYP) combined with imodium in treating post-operational diarrhea in patients undergoing colonic cancer surgery.
METHODSEighty patients with diarrhea after colorectal cancer surgery were randomized into two groups equally, the control group were treated with imodium (loperamide hydrochloride) and the treatment group treated by BYP combined with imodium. The therapeutic efficacy was analyzed and evaluated comprehensively depending upon a defecation check table developed from the XU Zhong-fa's 5-item 10-integrable system.
RESULTSAfter treatment, the improvements of the anal controlling capacity, the defecatory sensation, the frequency of defecation in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). The integral function of defecation in the treatment group was obvionsly improved by the end of treatment when compared with before treatment and the control group (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe clinical efficacy of the BYP combined with imodium in treating post-operational diarrhea after colorectal cancer surgery were better than that of imodium alone.

OBJECTIVETo analyse the clinical characteristics and potential prognostic factors of colorectal cancer patients with liver metastases.
METHODSThe clinical and pathological data of 300 colorectal cancer patients with liver metastases were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.
RESULTSThe median survival time of these patients was 19.0 months. The 1-, 2- and 5-year survival rates after liver metastases were 79.0%, 29.0% and 3.0%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that performance status (KPS), histological grading, primary tumor, N status, lymphatic and vascular invasion, stage at diagnosis, the number, size and distribution of liver metastases and other accompanied metastases were prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis showed that KPS, lymphatic and vascular invasion, the number and size of liver metastases were independent prognostic factors of colorectal cancer with liver metastases.
CONCLUSIONPerformance status, lymphatic and vascular invasion, the number and size of liver metastases are independent prognostic factors of colorectal cancer with liver metastases.

PURPOSE: We undertook this study to analyze clinical features and surgical outcome of en bloc resections of the right side colon cancer directly invading duodenum and/or pancreatic head. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The records of all patients who underwent en bloc resection of duodenum and/or pancreas for right colon cancers were analyzed retrospectively. From September 1994 to September 2006, 1,016 patients underwent curative right hemicolectomy. Nine patients (0.9%) had en bloc resection of a right side colon cancer with duodenum or pancreatic head invasion. RESULTS: The median operative time was 320 minutes (range, 200-420) and the median blood loss was 700 mL (range, 100-2,000). The mean size of tumor was 6.6 cm (range, 3.2-10.7). The mean preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was 10.6 ng/mL (range, 0.2-50.8). There was no 30 day perioperative mortality. The median disease-free survival was 23.5 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 5.2-41.8] and the median overall survival was 28.1 months (95% CI 9.7-46.5). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with locally advanced right side colon cancer that directly invades the duodenum or pancreas can be safely resected with curative potential with minimum morbidity and mortality. Long term disease free survival can occur in a significant number of patients undergoing curative en bloc resection in this particular subset of patients.
