Objective: To explore the security and the radical and clinical value of thoracoscopic-laparoscopic esophagectomy with two-field lymph node dissection for middle esophageal cancer through comparison with open esophagectomy. Methods: A total of 410 stage II to stage III esophageal cancer patients who underwent two-field lymph node dissection with two different methods (thora-colaparoscopic esophagectomy and open esophagectomy) from January 2009 to July 2013 in Uninon Hospital, Fujian Medical Universi-ty, were analyzed retrospectively. General pathological parameters, operative procedures, and short-term outcomes were collected and compared between the two groups (TLG and OG). Results: No significant differences were found regarding general pathological pa-rameters, such as gender, age, etc. Significant differences between thoracolaparoscopic and open two-field lymph node dissection esoph-agectomy were observed in terms of esophagectomy intraoperative blood loss [(206 ± 138) mL vs. (240±111) mL] and the mean num-ber of dissected lymph node per person [(26.6±8.6)/per vs. (21.7±9.2)/per]. Overall postoperative morbidity rate in OG was 35.2%, and its difference from that of TEG (25.8%) is statistically significant (P<0.05). Regarding single complications, such as pulmonary infec-tion and arrhythmia, OG showed evidently superior results (P<0.05). Meanwhile, anastomotic stricture and hoarseness rate are higher in TEG (P<0.05), and the difference was statistically significant as well. Conclusion: Thoracolaparoscopic two-field esophagectomy is technically feasible and safe and can achieve radical tumor resection.

OBJECTIVE: To improve the understanding of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma by analyzing its phenotypic and clinicopathological features. METHOD: Twenty-three cases of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma diagnosed between 2003 and 2007 in the department of pathology of Guilin Medical College were included in the study. The expression level of TIA-1, CD56, CD3, CD20, CK and EBV markers was determined by immunohistochemistry. The results were correlated with clinicopathological features. RESULT: 69.9% (16/23) of the nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma occurred in the nasal cavity. All the 23 cases displayed necrosis, ulceration and nose bleeding. 39.1% (9/23) showed angiodestructive growth pattern. 21.74% (5/23) were accompanied by squamous cell carcinoma-like epitheliomatous hyperplasia. All the cases were positive for TIA-1 and CD3. 95.7% (22/23) of the cases were positive for CD56, while 21.7% (5/23) were weakly positive for EBV. None of the cases was positive for either CD20 or CK. CONCLUSION Nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma is characterized by multiple clinicopathological features. Attention is needed to differentiate the tumor from inflammatory lesions and low grade squamous cell carcinoma. Understanding of various morphological and phenotypic features (i.e. expression of TIA-1, CD56 and CD3, and lack of CD20 and CK) is the key for the diagnosis of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma.

Objective To have SD rats inhaled with different drugs,and observe their lung pathological change of lungs through light microscopy,in order to evaluate the safety of different drugs inhaled by natural rats. Methods A total of 40 rats were randomly divided into 8 groups,and every group had 5 rats,including blank control groups,9 g/L saline group,Salbutamol group,Dingchuantang group,Shuanghuanglian group,Centamicin group,Danshen group,Silicon dioxide group,twice a day,last 56 days totally. Then,blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were collected and analyzed for cell count,percent of each type of cell,to measure the severity of the inflammation. Additionally,histopathology re-vealed the lungˊs pathological change and the number of dust cell;while immunohistochemistry revealed CD163 respon-ding.

Conclusions 9 g/L saline,salbutamol for atomized inhalation does not cause lung tissue damage;Long-term use of non-atomized drugs in atomization can cause lung tissue injury in SD rats,and the severity varies with specific drugs.

Objective To investigate the expression of Nodal and its receptors in different tissues and organs of different development stages of mice.Methods Ten pairs(male and female each for a pair) of mice were divided into the four groups:3 pairs served as adult mice group,the rest 7 pairs were allowed to mate,among them 3 pregnant mice served as the fetal group,and 3 pregnant mice served as the neonatal group and 1 pregnant mouse served as filial group.The multiple tissues and organs such as brain,liver,kidney,heart,lung were selected from fetal,neonatal,filial and adult mice for preparing the protein samples.Western blot was performed to detect the expression of Nodal and its type Ⅰ receptors of ALK7 and ALK4 as well as auxiliary receptor Cripto-1.Results Only cerebrum,cerebellum,liver and kidney had Nodal express in the four different mouse ontogenetic stages,in which only liver and kidney simultaneously expressed Nodal and its receptor protein in the whole four ontogenetic stages.Besides,most tissues and organs of adult mice expressed Nodal and its receptor protein,which was significantly different from the fetal,neonatal and filial mice.Conclusion Nodal signaling might have a certain effect on the growth and development of mouse liver and kidney during the late development stage.

Active exploration for building a model of medical alliances fitting local needs, proves imperative for the functional positioning of medical institutions, promoting inter-institutional cooperation and enhancing the capacity of primary medical services. The authors described experiences and insights of the No.1 Affiliated Hospital and the People′s government of Quangang District in their partnership, and building a brand new model of medical alliance between a hospital and a local government. Also presented are characteristics of such a model, and analysis of operational data in benefiting the people. They held that such a partnership is a worthy attempt in the healthcare reform, by means of building medical alliances between local government and provincial hospitals. Such a practice can provide valuable references for promoting government-hospital synergy, elevating primary healthcare capacity and advancing the hierarchical medical system.
