1.Multimodality therapy for adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction.
Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2012;15(9):877-880
The definition of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) adenocarcinoma and progress in multidisciplinary treatment for the tumor were revised in this review. Siewert classification is especially useful for the surgical approach of EGJ adenocarcinoma. Siewert I should be treated as esophageal cancer, and Ivor-Lewis esophagogastrectomy (right thoracotomy and laparotomy) is recommended as an extended two-field lymphadenectomy. For Siewert II or III tumors, left thoracophreno-laparotomy is preferred, especially in case of positive thoracic lymph nodes or positive resection margin. If there is any contraindication against thoracotomy, or a high operating risk, a transhiatal esophagectomy with lower mediastinal lymphadenectomy is an alternative. Preoperative chemoradiotherapy or perioperative chemotherapy improves overall survival and the rate of complete resection for patients with large tumor or lymph node metastasis. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is associated with high but acceptable postoperative complications. Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy remains a rational standard therapy for curatively resected EGJ cancer with T3 or greater lesion or positive nodes.

Objective To study soil environment characteristics of high_mortality areas of esophageal cancer in Three Gorge dam region. Methods To contrast the disparity of soil type,soil use,and basic characteristics,in particular microelement contents in high_mortality area and low_mortality area of esophageal cancer. Results Calcareous purple soils distributed dominantly in high_mortality area,and soil pH and CaCO3 content was high,and soil fertility low. While paddy soils occupyed mainly in low_mortality area,and pH and CaCO3 content was low however soil fertility high.Moreover,the microelement contents in soils in high_mortality area were lower than those in low_mortality area apparently. Conclusion Mortality of esophageal cancer was closely relative to the contents of some microelements in the soil environment.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of peripheral lymph node addressin(PNAd)andGlcNAc-6-sulfotransferase(GlcNAc6ST)in endometrium and their impacts on implantation.Methods:PNAd expression in endometrium was examined by immunohistochemistry and Western Blot from 75women(12 from healthy women,in proliferative phase;63 from sterile women,of whom,27 were inearly-secretory and 36 in mid-secretory phase).GlcNAc6ST mRNA was examined by real-time PCR in41 sterile women.The 63 sterile women had underwent ⅣF-ET and were consequently divided into clini-cal pregnant(29 cases)and nonpregnant(34 cases)groups.Results:(1)PNAd localized to the mem-brane and cytoplasm of luminal and glandular epithelia.Staining was patchy and much less intense duringthe proliferative phase than during the secretory phase.In Western Blot of PNAd,four bands appeared,which were Sgp200,CD34,MAdCAM-1,GlyCAM-1 respectively,and each was positively correlatedwith the others significantly.The former three molecular levels were significantly higher during the secre-tory phase as compared with the proliferative phase.Message RNA of GlcNAe6ST was positive in all ca-ses and showed no correlation with any component of PNAd.(2)The expressions of CD34 and GlyCAM-1,but not Sgp200 and MAdCAM-1,were significantly higher in pregnant women than in nonpregnantones.However,the GlcNAc6ST mRNA level did not differ between groups.(3)No significant differ-ence was found in female age,methods of fertilization,thickness of endometrium on day hCG,cumulativeembryo score(CES)and mean score of transferred embryo(MSTE)between the groups.Conclusion:PNAd expression in the human endometrium fluctuates with the menstrual cycle.Elevated CD34 and Gly-CAM-1 during the secretory phase might be stimulative factors for embryo implantation.Defect in PNAdexpression may account for a portion of unexplained infertility.

Objective To investigate the relationship between microalbuminuria to estimated glomerular filtration rate (mALB/GFR) ratio and incidence of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) after underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Between March 2010 to August 2011, a total of 137 patients who underwent PCI were selected. Anthropometric measures, lipid profiles, fasting blood glucose, CRP, base creatinine and microalbuminuria were measured before operation. Glomerular filtration rate was calculated by MDRD formula. Contrast volume (CV) was recorded after the operation for each patient. Serum creatinine was measured 24 h, 48 h, 72 h after operation, respectively. CIN was defined as an increase in serum creatinine levels of 25% or 44 μmol/L or more from baseline within 72 h after PCI. All patients were divided into group A (CIN group) and group B (No CIN group). Results Eighteen (13.1%) patients developed CIN(group A). The others were group B (no CIN group). The level of CRP, base creatinine, microalbuminuria and mALB/GFR in group A were significantly higher than that in group B ( P < 0 . 01 ) . GFR in group A was lower than that in group B (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that the level of base creatinine , microalbuminuria GFR and mALB/GFR were independent risk factors of CIN occurrence (P < 0.05). The receiver-operator characteristic curve analysis indicated that a mALB/ GFR ratio of 1.17 was a fair discriminator for CIN,and sensitivity were 94.1%, specifity were 72.5%. Conclusion A mALB/ GFR ratio was a independent predictor of CIN after PCI.

Objective To compare the contents in polysaccharide of aloe in gel of aloe with preparation in different processing methods on fresh aloe of outer cuticle and investigate their stability. It could provide technology of preparation of polysaccharide of aloe.Methods The aloe gel had been prepared through the fresh juicing method, and alcohol sinking was applied to abstract polysaccharides of aloe in proportion of sixty, seventy, eighty and ninety percent. The colorimetric method of anthracenone - thick sulfuric acid had been taken to determine contents of polysaccharide in different proportions by alcohol sinking. The contents of polysaccharide were compared among different processing methods in fresh aloe of outer cuticle, and then the stability on condition of different temperatures, pH and the reagent of reductant-oxidant with polysaccharides of aloe were investigated. Results The content abstracted from polysaccharide of aloe was the higher when the proportion was eighty percent and its character of powder was better. And content abstracted from polysaccharide of aloe with the outer cuticle was higher than that out of the outer cuticle. The powders from the polysaccharide of aloe with the outer cuticle were gray-green, gray-brown or gray-white. The powders from polysaccharide of aloe without the outer cuticle were partial-white, more well-distributed and delicate. The stability in polysaccharide of aloe was better with the condition of low temperature, reducing agent and the solution with pH from five to seven, while the stability was lower when in high temperature, oxidizing agent and the solution with strong acid and strong alkali. Conclusions The proportion of eighty percent with alcohol sinking, decorticating the outer cuticle of fresh aloe has the higher content and the better character in the polysaccharide of aloe.
