Objective To investigate the clinical application of early postoperative enteral nutrition in patients undergoing colon cancer operation.Methods 90 patients suffering from colon cancer were randomly divided into the enteral nutrition group,indwelling stomach tube group and the control group.The control group was given conventional treatment and the indwelling gastric tube group was received postoperative intermittent clamping of stomach tube and enteral nutrition.Moreover,patients in the enteral nutrition group were pulled out the tube on the first postoperative day while giving enteral nutrition.All patients were observed for exhaust defecation time,length of hospital stay postoperative and nutrition indicators.Results Exhaust defecation time,length of hospital stay postoperative had significant difference among three groups.Indwelling stomach tube group set minimum length of stay and first passage of flatus and defecation in the three groups [the enteral nutrition group:(50.07±11.59) h,(76.75±27.37) h,(10.1 1±1.57) d,the control group:(62.03±12.31) h,(90.67±25.64) h,(11.80±1.83) d,indwelling stomach tube group:(43.53±11.94) h,(61.17± 22.67) h,(8.70±1.53) d (P ＜ 0.05)].The levels of hemoglobin and plasma albumin one week after operation were statistically lower than pre-operation,while that the level of these nutrition indicators were higher in indwelling stomach tube group compare to control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The same result was observed between enteral nutrition group and control group.Whereas,the change of nutrition indicators between the enteral nutrition group and the control group was not statistical significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Indwelling stomach tube combined with enteral nutrition is a reasonable choice for patients after colonic cancer surgery.

Objective To assess the prognostic values of the immunohistochemical expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) in a cohort of patients with operable advanced laryngeal cancer who have been treated with induction chemotherapy. Methods VEGF and VEGFR-2 expression in the Forty-nine patients was quantified by an enzyme immunosorbent assay in a retrospective series.Results The moderate to high VEGF expression in 34 patients were found and low expression in 15 patients. VEGFR-2 expression was moderate to high in 31 patients and was low expression in 18. The probability of a complete response to induction chemotherapy was significantly higher in patients with none to low VEGF expression.Conclusion VEGF expression seems to be a significant predictor of complete response to induction chemotherapy.

Objective: To study the effect of hyperplasia suppressor gene (HSG) in inducing vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: The cultured VSMCs were transfected with an adenoviral vector containing rat HSG gene. Effects of HSG on VSMC apoptosis were investigated by fluorescent dye staining to detect the tact of nuclei, and by flow cytometry to define the content of DNA and to detect the levels of caspase-3. The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax were also performed by Western blot analysis. Results: The increased expression of HSG in VSMCs infected with AdHSG induced apoptotic cell death detected by flow cytometry assay and nucleic staining. Compared with control groups, HSG induced vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis 72 h after infected with adenoviral vector (39.6%?3.2% vs. 2.6%?0.9%,P

A new nested-polymerase chain reaction (nested-PCR) assay was developed to detect human parvovirus B19 DNA corresponding to the nonstructural protein in clinical specimens in a routine diagnostic laboratory. The sensitivity of this highly specific assay was up to 0.005 fg of B19 DNA. Parvovirus B19 was identified in sera of 20 pregnant women with abnormal pregnant outcome. Among these 20 cases, intrauterine parvovirus infection did exist in 7 pregnant women because parvovirus B19 DNA was detected in the pregnant tissues of them such as placenta tissues, chorionic villi, amniotic fluid, fetal spleen, liver and abdominal fluids.

Objective To investigate the safety and clinical outcome of laparoscopic resection of rectal cancer. Methods The clinical data of 347 patients with rectal cancer who were admitted to the Shanxi Tumor Hospital from May 2004 to July 2008 were prospectively analyzed. Of all the patients, 343 met the inclusion criteria,and they were randomly allocated to laparoscope group (n = 169) and open group (n= 174). The diameter of the tumors, number of lymph node dissected, length of rectum resected, morbidity, the mean operation time, number of patients receiving blood transfusion, time to out-of-bed activity, first flatus, bowel movement and liquid diet were observed. All data were analyzed using the t test and chi-square test. The survival rate was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results The diameter of the tumors, number of lymph node dissected, length of rectum resected and number of patients receiving blood transfusion in the laparoscope group were (4.3 ± 1.3 ) cm, 7 ± 5,(19.1±2.2)cm and 4, and they were (4.2±1.3)cm, 7 ±5, (19.0±2.3)cm and 8 in the open group,respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups ( t = 0. 629, - 0. 726, 0. 562, x2 = 1. 264,P ＞0.05). The mean operation time in the laparoscope group was 19 minutes longer than that in the open group (t = 7. 904, P ＜ 0.05 ). The time to out-of-bed activity, first flatus, bowel movement and liquid diet in the laparoscope group were 0.6, 0.3, 0.3 and 0.6 days earlier than those in open group( t = - 6. 392, - 3.581, - 3. 802,- 3. 493, P ＜ 0.05 ). There were no significant differences in postoperative infection, anastomotic leakage, intestinal obstruction and deep vein thrombosis between the two groups ( x2 = 0. 236, 0. 354, 0. 000, 0. 000, P ＞0.05). A total of 167 patients in the laparoscope group and 172 patients in the open group had been followed upuntil 1 may, 2010. The 1-, 2-year survival rates were 94.0% and 82.6% in the laparoscope group and 95.3% and 91.2% in the open group. There was no significant difference in the 2-year survival between the two groups (x2 =0.541, P ＞0.05). The survival time of the patients in the laparoscope group and open group were 55.9 and 57.9 months, respectively. Conclusions Laparoscopic surgery is safe and feasible for patients with rectal cancer, with quick recovery after the operation.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis,the treatment methods and the prognosis of rectal cancer patients after renal transplantation.Methods Four patients with rectal cancer were found in 1035 renal transplantation recipients.Three of four patients were treated with anterior resection (AR) or abdomenoperineal resection (APR) with total mesorectal excision (TME).The two patients accepted regular adjuvant chemotherapy for six months period after surgery,but one patient rejected to accept any chemotherapy after surgery.Otherwise,one patient was only treated with chemotherapy and best support therapy for diagnosed as rectal cancer with multiple liver metastases.Results Two patients were fine to be followed up,8 months and 21 months after rectal resection respectively.Two other patients eventually died of metastasized cancer 5 months and 31 months respectively after therapy had been initiated.Conclusion Transplantation patients should receive standard oncology treatment,including operation and adjuvant treatment,so long as their general condition and organ graft functions allow to do so,although a higher degree of morbidity might be encountered,and periodical colorectal screening should be performed before and after renal transplantation.

Objective To identify the imaging characteristics of calcifying pseudoneoplasms of the neuraxis (CAPNON) and do literature review.Methods Five patients of pathologically-proved CAPNON underwent preoperative MR examination,among which 4 underwent CT scan,2 underwent DSA examination and 1 underwent SPECT. All imaging data were retrospectively analyzed with the emphasis on imaging characteristics.Results Five patients of CAPNON with the diameter of 1.5 to 5.0 cm were found in five patients ( Male 4 ; Female 1 ; age 25 to 60 years old ).Three lesions were located in the skull base,one was located in the cervical spine and one in the foramen magnum and upper cervical segment. All patients underwent MRI examination and 4 of them also took CT scanning.On plain CT,all lesions showed obvious calcification.On T1WI all masses showed hypointensity,and on T2WI 4 of the lesions showed iso- or hypointensity and 1 heterogeneous signal intensity. On contrast-enhanced MR images, peripheral enhancement was demonstrated in 3 lesions,homogeneous enhancement was found in case and one lesion showed no enhancement. The pathologic analysis indicated that inside the lesions were abundant calcification,fibroepithelial tissue and mucoid matrix and no edema was detected around the lesions.Conclusions CAPNON displayed the predilection to male adults and the neuraxis was the predilection site.Calcification on CT images,hypointensity on MR images and peripheral enhancement will be helpful for the diagnosis of CAPNON,but the final confirmation still needs the pathologic results.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of anorectal malignant melanoma,in order to regulate surgical methods and explore multi-modality treatment.Methods Clinical pathological features,diagnosis and treatment procedures of 38 patients with anorectal melanoma were reviewed,and their correlation with prognosis were analyzed.Results In 38 patients,10 of them were male and 28 were female,with the mean age of 58.7 years old (ranged 28-75 years old).28 patients underwent abdominoperineal resection,10 patients underwent wide local excision.The 1-,3-,and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 64.9 ％,18.5 ％ and 5.7 ％,respectively.The 1-,3-,and 5-year overall survival rates were 85.8 ％,24.1％ and 6.4 ％,respectively.Tumor thickness (≥ 1.51 rm) and tumor diameter (≥3 cm) were associated with lymph metastases (x2 =13.093,4.449,P =0.011,0.020),tumor thickness was also associated with distant metastases (x2 =11.965,P =0.018).According to the Kaplan-Meier method,comprehensive treatment after surgery had significant effects on disease-free survival (x2 =7.441,P =0.006).Tumor thickness,lymph metastases,and clinical staging had significant effects on overall survival (x2 =16.741,16.474,16.775,P =0.002,0.000,0.000).Cox proportional hazards model indicated that comprehensive treatment after surgery was the independent prognostic risk factors of disease-free survival (95 ％ CI 1.420-17.621,P =0.012).Tumor thickness and lymph metastases were the independent prognostic risk factors of overall survival (95 ％ CI 0.250-0.949,1.033-2.573,P =0.035,0.036).Conclusion Early detection,reasonable surgical procedure,generalized systemic focus on immunotherapy treatment are the key to improve quality of life and prolong the survival time of anorectal malignant melanoma patients.
