The antagonistic effects of L-THP, Ver and Pap to contraction of isolated guinea pig trachea preparations induced by BaCl2 10-3mol/L ,KC1 3?10-2mol/L, 5-HT 2?10-5mol/L, Ach 2?10-5mol/L and His 2? 10-5mol/L were studied.The antagonistic effects of L-THP were different from Ver and Pap. The IC50 value of L-THP for contraction induced by BaCl2, KC1, 5-HT and His was 3 .5? 10-5mol/L , 4.5 ? 10-5mol/L , 2.5?10-3 mol/L and 8.9? 10-5mol/L respectively. It was showed that sensibility of several agonists to inhibition by L-THP was correlated with dependence of extracellular Ca2+. The potencies of L-THP on anti-KCl and anti-5-HT actions were similar. The results suggested that LTHP possesses anti-calcium and anti-5-HT action on guinea pig trachea.

Objective To study the nutritional evaluation and clinical effects of perioperative enteral nutrition (EN) versus parenteral nutrition support (PN) in elderly patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma.The safety,feasibility and superiority were also compared between EN and PN.Methods Totally 50 cases (aged 65 years and over) undergoing gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Beijing Hospital were recruited and divided randomly into two groups of EN and PN (25 cases for each).NRS2002 nutritional assessment scoring system was used to evaluate the patients.The patients in EN group were given Rui Su at 2 d before surgery,then Wei wo,Bai pu li and Rui su were sequentially given from 12 h after the surgery.The patients in PN group were received total parenteral nutrition (TPN) via central venous for 7 days.Results The average absolute lymphocytes[(1.22±0.23) ×109/L and (1.31±0.27) ×109/L vs.(1.02±0.21) × 109/ L and (1.14 ± 0.23 × 10)9/L],pre-albumin[(151.442± 48.15) mg/ L and (167.38± 46.23) mg/ L vs.(115.22 ± 47.34) mg/L and (131.27 ± 43.58) mg/L] and transferring [(1.71±0.33)g /L and (1.83±0.31)g/L vs.(1.50±0.32)g/L and (1.65±0.32)g/L,all P＜0.05] levels after surgery of 3 d and 7 d in EN group were higher than those of PN group (P＜0.05).The CRP levels at 3 d and 7 d after surgery were increased in PN group compared with EN group [(63.71±35.26)mg/L and (41.58 ± 22.55)mg/L vs.(54.26±29.13)mg/L and (18.12 ±14.35)mg/L,P＜0.05].The blood sugar and insulin levels of EN group at 3 d and 7 d after surgery were (5.93±1.12) mmol/L and (5.61± 1.03)mmol/L,(6.72±5.14) U/L and (6.21±2.63) U/L,which were decreased compared to PN group (8.31 ± 2.62) mmol/L and (8.85 ± 2.92) mmol/L,(12.81±7.26) U/L and (15.21±8.24) U/L (P＜0.05).ALT in the PN group was (38.43±18.37) U/L at 7 d after surgery,higher than EN group (23.91± 14.82) U/L(P＜0.05).The perioperative average costs of EN group was (2714.5± 1391.7) yuan,lower than PN group (5041.6± 3007.7) yuan (P＜0.05).For the patients complicated with delayed gastric emptying after surgery,nutrition cost reduction was more evident.There were no significant difference between the two groups of patients in the liver and kidney function changes and postoperative complications.Conclusions It is safe and feasible for elderly gastric cancer patients with perioperative EN sequential therapy in view of its reduced stress response of surgical trauma and insulin resistance,improvement of hyperglycemia,reduction of medical costs compared with PN for elderly gastric cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the feasibility,safety and efficacy of laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) for elderly patients with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).Methods 54 cases with GIST aged 65 years and over in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery in Beijing Hospital from Dec.2008 to Dec.2012 were selected.31 cases underwent LECS and 23 cases underwent open surgery.Clinical data including operation time,intraoperative blood loss,complications,tumor size,length of incision,postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery time,postoperative in hospitalization and follow up data were retrospectively analyzed in patients.Results There were 17 males and 14 females in the LECS group,and the mean age was (72.8±5.9)years.29 patients underwent laparoscopic-assisted partial gastrectomy,and 2 cases underwent laparoscopicassisted endoscopic dissection in LECS group.All operations were successful with no conversion to open surgery and death.There were 13 males and 10 females in the open surgery group,and the mean age was(73.3±6.1)years.The mean operation time was longer in LECS group than in open surgery group [(120.6±32.8) min vs.(86.3±33.5) min].The mean intraoperative blood loss,mean tumor size,mean length of incision,mean time of gastrointestinal function recovery,mean postoperative hospitalization were less or smaller in LECS group than in open surgery group [(40±23.4) ml vs.(130±65.6) ml,(2.3±1.2)cm vs.(3.6 ±1.8)cm,(3.6±1.1) cm vs.(14.4±3.5) cm,(47.7± 10.4)h vs.(61.4±11.9)h,(5.1±2.3)d vs.(7.2±2.5)d,respectively,t=3.192,1.831,5.212,2.014,3.519,P=0.002,0.012,0.000,0.015,0.001].According postoperative tumor risk assessment,13 cases were at very low risk,15 cases at low risk and 3 cases at middle risk in LECS group; 4 cases were at very low risk,14 cases at low risk and 5 cases at middle risk in open surgery group.The risk degree was lower in LECS group than in open surgery group (x2 =5.63,P=0.017).During a follow-up of 5 53 months,death without GIST was found in 5 patients in LECS group and 4 cases in open surgery group.Hepatic metastasis was found in 1 case in open surgery group.Conclusions LECS is a safe and feasibility alternative approach for elderly patients with gastric GISTs.It has more minimal invasion,fast recovery and satisfaction with short term outcomes as compared with conventional open surgery.

Hemodynamic study of L-THP in anaesthetized rats showed that 6 mg/kg iv decreased only blood pressure (BP) significantly, and decreased left ventricular pressure ( LVP ) temporarily. At the dose of 18 mg/kg, L-THP lowered the BP, LVP, ? ( dP/dt ) max, ( dP/dt ) P-1 and HR. But the degrees o?diminutions of BP were greater than that of cardiac contractility. The inhibitory percentage of L-THP on DAP was greater than that of SAP. In addition, the extent of decrease of DAP was shown dose dependently. The results suggest that L-THP reduces the peripheral vessel resistance, and it inhibits the cardiac contractibility in high dosage.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic ELAPE for elderly patients with low advanced rectal cancer.Methods Totally 48 cases patients with low advanced rectal cancer surgery aged over 65 years old were analyzed retrospectively,who come from Beijing Hospital between Jan 2012 and Jan 2015.A total of 26 cases underwent Laparoscopic extralevator abdominoperineal excision (L-ELAPE) and 22 cases underwent Laparoscopic abdominoperineal excision(L-APE).Clinical data including general data,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,complications,pathological data,postoperative in hospitalization were retrospectively analyzed in patients.Results The mean operation time between L-ELAPE and APE group was (312±46)min vs.(245±62)min,mean intraoperative blood loss was(170±74)ml vs.(250± 109)ml,Operative complications was 26.9％ vs.27.3％,harvested lymph node was (16.0 ± 5.8)cm vs.(15.0±7.2)cm,intraoperative bowel perforation(IOP)rate was 0％ vs.18.2％,CRM involvement was 3.8 ％ vs.13.6 ％,mean postoperative hospital stay (days) was (13.1 ± 4.6) d vs.(13.7 ± 6.1) d.The mean operating time of L-ELAPE group was longer and mean intraoperative blood loss was much less than APE group,IOP rate and circumferential resection margin(CRM)involvement were higher in APE group(P＜0.05).Conclusions L-ELAPE is a safe and feasibility alternative approach for elder patients with rectal cancer.It is related with less intraoperative blood loss,IOP rate,CRM involvement and longer operating time contrast with L-APE.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) for the treatment of elderly patients with colorectal adenoma.Methods Totally 21 patients with colorectal villous adenoma underwent TEM from Dec.2007 to Sep.2010.The distance of adenoma from the anal verge was 4-20 cm (average 8.9 cm) and tumor size was 1.1-3.5 cm (average 1.9 cm).There were 12 cases with tubular adenoma and 9 cases with villous adenoma according to pre-operative diagnosis by colonoscopy and endoanal ultrasonography (EUS).Appropriate position and posture were dictated by the location of the tumor under general anesthesia.A special rectoscopy was inserted into the anus with CO2 insufflation to keep the rectum open.Under the stereoscopy and lapaoscopy-type instruments,the tumor was completely resected (submucosal or full-thickness excision) using a 5 mm ultrasonic dissector.The operative wound was closed with intra-lumen continuous sutures.Results The tumor was completely removed with negative resection margins in all the 21 patients (submucosal excision in 12 cases and full-thickness excision in 9 cases).The operating time was 40-100 min (average 76 min) and the intraoperative blood loss was 10-80 ml (average 50 ml).The post-operative stay was 2-10 d (average 4.5 d).The postoperative pathological stages were pT0 in 16 cases and pTia in 5 cases.The postoperative pathological diagnosis were tubular adenoma in 12 cases,villous adenoma in 9 cases,low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (IN) in 5 cases and high-grade IN in 5 cases.Follow-up checkups in the 20 patients for 2-20 months (average 11 months) revealed no local recurrence.Conclusions TEM is safe and effective with little complication for the treatment of elderly patients with colorectal adenoma.Pre-operative EUS is very important for TEM.

Objective To investigate the comparison of clinical effects between two models of alimentary reconstruction after total gastrectomy in the elderly patients with gastric cancer.Methods 70 patients receiving alimentary tract reconstructions of Orr-type Roux-en-Y reconstruction (Orrtype,40 cases) and modified Brawn Ⅰ (30 cases) from January 2007 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The operative time,amount of bleeding,early postoperative complications and mortality,food intake,nutritional status and alimentary tract function were compared at 6 months after surgery.Results There were no significant differences between the two methods in the operative time [(198.8±14.0)min vs 233.5±30.7)min,t=-l.697,P＞0.05)],amount of bleeding [(420 ± 43) ml vs (340 ± 25) ml t =-1.956,P ＞ 0.05],and early postoperative complications [(17.5％ vs 16.7％),x2 =0.008,P＞0.05].However,times of liquid diet intake and semi liquid diet intake of the Orr-type reconstruction method was comparatively shorter than that of the modified Brawn Ⅰ [(4.8±2.1) d vs (7.6±2.4) d,and (9.5±3.6) d vs (11.5±3.7) d,t=-5.192,P＜0.05)].Nutritional status (weight,hemoglobin,total serum proteins and serum albumin) at 6 months after operation showed no significant differences between the two methods.But constituent ratio of Visick scores Ⅰ-Ⅱ of Orr-type was bigger than that of modified Brawn Ⅰ (86.7％ vs 62.5％,x2 =5.063,P＞0.05).Conclusions Orr-type Roux-en-Y reconstruction method can avoid reflux esophagitis,and the procedure is more simple than the modified Brawn Ⅰ method.Therefore,Orr-type Roux-en-Y reconstruction should be recommended as an adoptable method of digestive reconstruction after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer in the elderly patients.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the risk of postoperative complications in elderly colorectal cancer patients over 65 years with comorbid cardiovascular diseases.

METHODSA total of 381 elderly colorectal cancer patients over 65 years were pathologically diagnosed as colorectal adenocarcinoma and underwent the first surgery in Beijing Hospital during January 2013 and December 2014. Patients were divided into comorbid cardiovascular disease group (258 cases) and non-cardiovascular disease group (123 cases) according to the existence of comorbid cardiovascular disease. The morbidity of postoperative complication was compared between two groups.

RESULTSThere was no significant difference in the morbidity of postoperative complication between two groups [27.9%(72/258) vs. 29.3%(36/123), P>0.05]. According to the Clavien-Dindo classification of postoperative complications, the morbidities of complication at all levels between two groups were not significantly different(all P>0.05). But in terms of cardiovascular complications, the morbidity of comorbid cardiovascular disease group was significantly higher than that of non-cardiovascular disease group [7.4%(19/258) vs. 0.8%(1/123), χ=6.678, P=0.010], while no significant differences in pulmonary and abdominal complications were found between two groups(all P>0.05). The morbidities of other complications (deep vein thrombosis, urinary tract infection and renal complications, etc.) of comorbid cardiovascular disease group were lower than those in non-cardiovascular disease group [2.7%(7/258) vs. 8.1%(10/123), χ=5.733, P=0.017]. Different types of cardiovascular diseases, different levels of cardiac risk index and American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) rating were not significantly related to the patient's occurrence of postoperative complications(all P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONSSurgery treatment for elderly colorectal cancer patients over 65 years with comorbid cardiovascular diseases is safe. However, strict cardiovascular monitoring should be performed and necessary measures should be carried out in time.

Long-term inhalation of silica dust can cause silicosis, but also may induce autoimmune diseases, such as systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, anti-histidyl tRNA synthetase antibody (JO-1 antibody) syndrome. These two diseases can be isolated or combined. In this paper, the clinical characteristics of 5 cases of silicosis complicated with connective tissue diseases were analyzed and summarized to strengthen the clinical understanding of silicosis complicated with connective tissue diseases, so as to reduce its misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, and provide reference for clinicians in diagnosis and treatment.
