Objective: To study the rational treatment course of proton pump inhibitor omeprazole for critical patients in order to improve the prognosis and reduce the hospital stay and treatment expense. Methods:Totally 180 critical patients with APACHEⅡ>10 and mechanical ventilation >48 hours in ICU were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups treated by omeprazole for 1 day, 3 days and 5 days , respectively. The incidence rate of stress ulcer, gastrointestinal hemorrhage and ventilator-associated pneumonia ( VAP) in the three groups was studied, and the ICU stay and expense were also investigated. Results:The incidence rate of stress ul-cer and gastrointestinal hemorrhage in the group with treatment course of 3 days and 5 days were significantly lower than those in the group with 1 day treatment(P<0. 05). The incidence rate of VAP with 3-days treatment was the lowest, compared with 1 day and 5 days treatment, the different was satatistically significant(P<0. 05). The ICU hospitalization time and treatment expense were also significantly different among the three groups, and that in 3-days, group was the lowest(P<0. 05). Conclusion:The 3-day treatment is the most reasonable, which can not only prevent stress ulcer and gastrointestinal bleeding in critical patients, but also reduce the in-cidence of VAP with lowered hospital stay and expense.

Cancer is one of the main diseases that threaten the health of human.In order to increase the cure rate of cancer,the accurate therapy of cancer must be developed speedily.The most effective method for curing cancer is intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT),which can increase the local control rate of cancer and decrease complications of tissues.IMRT is considered to be an important breakthrough in cancer therapy.The dose produced by it is better than 3D-CRT and can achieves better results of therapy,which has been confirmed in the clinical therapies of head cancer,neck cancer,prostate cancer,breast cancer,cervical cancer and pancreas cancer etc.The developing course of IMRT,the methods of intensity modulation,the enforcement process of IMRT and the feasibility test of therapy plans are emphatically introduced.

Objective To investigate the distribution of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of-251 (rs4073) in cytokine interleukin 8 gene promoter region and +781 (rs2227306) in the first intron in Nantong area population, to explore the correlation between the genotypes of these sites and the risk of suffering hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to analyze the interaction between the genotypes and different exposure factors inducing the occurrence of HCC. Methods By using case-control study and restriction fragment length polymorphism polymerase chain reaction (RFLP-PCR) technique, the genotypes of IL-8 gene-251 site and+781 site were classified. Results (1) In individuals with-251 heterozygous mutation genotype AT the risk of developing HCC increased (OR=1.99, 95%CI: 1.01-3.85), and in individuals with +781 mutation genotype CT and TT the risk of developing HCC increased (+781 CT genotype, OR=1.78, 95%CI:1.03-3.1; +781 TT genotype, OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.01-2.62). (2) In individuals with -251 and +781 AT-CT, TT-CT, AT-CC combined genotypes the risk of developing HCC increased (AT-CT combined genotype, OR=2.10,95%CI:1.52-2.9;TT-CT combined genotype, OR=3.33, 95%CI: 1.01-10.50; AT-CC combined genotype, OR=3.67, 95%CI:2.28-5.90). (3)SNP of-251 had positive interactions with drinking, HBV infection and family history of HCC in the occurrence of HCC, while negative interactions existed between SNP of this site and exposure factors, including age, gender and smoking, in the occurrence of HCC. SNP of +781 had positive interactions with drinking and family history of HCC in the occurrence of HCC, while negative interactions existed between SNP of this site and exposure factors, including age, sex, smoking and HBV infection, in the occurrence of HCC.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, safety and clinical outcome of laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer in elderly patients with common chronic comorbidities. Methods The clinical data of 192 elderly patients with rectal cancer and common chronic comorbidities who were admitted to the Nanfang Hospital from January 2003 to December 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into laparoscope group (n=91) and open group (n = 101). The operative procedures, clinicopathological data and outcomes of the two groups were collected and compared. All data were analyzed using the t test and chi-square test, and the survival of patients was analyzed using the life table and Kaplan-Meier curves. Results The sphincter preservation rate,operation time, postoperative length of hospital stay, morbidity rate were 85.7% (78/91), (194 ± 61) minutes,(14 ±8)days, 24.2% (22/91) in the laparoscope group, and they were 85.1% (86/101), (187 ±58) minutes,(14 ±8)days and 28.7% (29/101) in the open group, with no significant difference between the two groups (x2=0.012, t=0.874,-0.265, x2 =0. 505 , P ＞ 0. 05) . The intraoperative blood loss was (108 ±78)ml in the laparoscope group, which was significantly less than (270 ± 600) ml in the open group (t =-2. 650, P ＜0.05). The time to first flatus, time to liquid diet, time to out-of-bed activity were (3 ± 1) days, (4 ± 2) days and (3 ± 1)days, which were significantly shorter than (4 ± 1)days, (5 ± 2)days and (5 ± 1)days in the open group,respectively (t =-4. 545,-4. 587,-13. 310, P ＜ 0.05). The length of rectum resected and the number of lymph node dissected were (18 ± 5)cm and 9 ± 7 in the laparoscope group, and (18 ± 5)cm and 9 ± 8 in the open group, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups (t = 1. 457, 0. 021, P ＞ 0.05), while the distance of distal resection margin to the tumors was (3.8 ± 1.5) cm, which was significantly longer than (3.1 ± 1.5) cm of the open group (t = 0. 283, P ＜ 0. 05). The 3-year cumulative survival rate, overall recurrence rate, local recurrence rate and distal metastasis rate in the laparoscope group were 76%, 12. 1% (11/91), 2.2% (2/91) and 9.9% (9/91), and they were 82%, 14.9% (15/101), 6.9% (7/101), 7.9% (8/101) in the open group, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups (U=2. 600, x2 =0. 312, 2.400,0. 230, P ＞ 0.05). There were no significant difference in the cumulative survival rate between patients in TNM stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ in the two groups (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer is safe and feasible for elderly patients with common chronic comorbidities, and it has the advantages in quick recovery of patients after operaion.

Objective To study the role of autophagy in the curcumin (Cur) enhancing the chemosensitivity of the colorectal cancer LoVo cells to irinotecan (CPT-11). Methods The LoVo cells were separated into 4 groups:the control group,the Cur group,the CPT-11 group and the Mix group.Western blot assay was applied to determine the expression of autophagy-related protein LC3-Ⅱ and P62. LC3-Ⅱ was detected by immunofluorescence method. Transmission electron microscopy was used to detect the autophagosome. CCK-8 assay was applied to detect the cell growth inhibitory rate of LoVo cells ,which were pre-treated with autophagy inhibitor 3-MA before 24-h treatment of Cur and/or CPT-11. Western blot assay was applied to detect the expression of LC3- Ⅱ and P62. Results The mixed treatment significantly increased the expression of LC3-Ⅱwhile decreased P62 expression,compared with the Cur and CPT-11 treatments. The autophagosomes in cells of Mix group were significantly more than those in cells of the Cur and Cpt group. Pre-treatment of 3-MA significantly reduced cell growth rate in the Cur group,the Cpt group and the Mix group. Pre-treatment of 3-MA significantly decreased the expression of LC3-Ⅱ,while increased P62 expression,compared with the Mix group. Conclution Combinations of curcumin and CPT-11 could enhance the chemosensitivity of LoVo cells to CPT-11,which might be related to the activation of autophagy.

Objective To study the correlation between time of fever onset in the course of patients'illness and etiologies of fever of unknown origin (FUO).Methods A total of 1 570 patients with FUO admitted from January 2013 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed, and clinical data ( sex, age, time of fever onset) of 348 patients meeting FUO diagnosis criteria with definite etiology diagnosis and time of fever onset were collected for multivariate logistic regression analysis after bias check.Results No statistically significant bias was found between 348 selected cases and 1 570 overall cases in gender (χ2 =0.029, P=0.903) and age (t=-1.040, P=0.299), and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed positive correlation between fever onset during 13: 00-18: 00 and infection (P=0.044, B=1.275), 18:00-24: 00 and connective tissue diseases ( P =0.029, B =0.838 ) , and showed negative correlation between age and miscellaneous (P =0.010, B =-0.042).Conclusions Characteristics of fever onset time may have significant value in preliminary diagnosis and guiding the correct direction of final definite diagnosis by means of targeted examinations or diagnostic treatments.It is worth to be further studied and discussed.

OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics of the active ingredients of Shenmai injection,including ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Re,in normal Beagle dogs and those with myocardial ischemia. METHODS:6 Beagle dogs were given isopro-terenol hydrochloride (1.1 mg/kg) sc to establish the model of myocardial ischemia (model group). Another 6 Beagle dogs were given isometric normal saline (2.2 ml/kg) sc as controls group. The two groups of dogs respectively received corresponding drugs sc at 8:00 am and 13:00 pm on day 1 and at 8:00 am on day 2. Each group of dogs were given Shenmai injection(1.6 ml/kg)iv 1 h after administration on day 2,and such intravenous drip lasted for about 1 h. Blood was collected from each group 0,0.25, 0.5,0.75,1(the end of iv),1.5,2,3,4,6,8,12 and 24 h from the start of iv. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was adopted to determine the concentrations of ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Re in blood,and WinNonlin 6.3 was used to calculate pharmacokinetic parameters for comparison. RESULTS:For ginsenoside Re in the dogs of the model group,t1/2 was(2.69±1.12) h,AUC0-24 h was(2 060.78±812.18)h·μg/L,Vz was(46.16±20.98)ml and CL was(9.02±4.45)ml/h;compared to the normal control group,AUC0-24 h was much greater and Vz and CL were significantly lower,showing a statistically significant difference(P<0.05). No significant difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters of ginsenoside Rg1 was shown between 2 groups(P>0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Myocardial ischemia may affect the removal of ginsenoside Re in Beagle dogs,but has no effect on the pharmacoki-netic process of ginsenoside Rg1.

Objective To investigate the effect of different frequencies of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) on diagnosis of duodenal submucesal lesions. Methods A total of 210 elevated duodenal lesions detected by routine endoscopy in 201 patients were examined by EUS at different frequencies according to lesion features and image clarity. Endoscopic resection was applied in 27 lesions with informed consents,and pathological findings were compared with the results of EUS. Results The accuracy of EUS was 81.4% (22/27). Ultrasound of low frequency was superior in displaying overview of lesion and was more suitable for lesions larger than 1.5 cm in diameter or lesions of hyperecho. On the other hand,ultrasound of high frequency was more reliable to reveal minute structures and could be employed in scanning lesions smaller than 1.5 cm in diameter. Combination of different frequencies of ultrasound could provide more details in larger lesions. Conclusion Application of appropriate frequency or combined frequencies of ultrasound in examination of elevated duodenal lesions is beneficial to achieve more accurate diagnosis.
