One week survival and liver pathological change of every group were observed, and the hepatocyte apoptosis index was measured simultaneously.Results One week survival of therapy group was higher than that of I/R group ( P

Objective To investigate the mechanism of anti-tumor in lung cancer patients and their effects to immune system undergoing with microwave ablation treatment,radioimmunotherapy of 131Ⅰ tumor cells human mouse chimeric monoclonal antibody injection (131Ⅰ-chTNT) and combined treatment of two anterior method.Methods The 50 cases of lung cancer were divided into three groups randomly,17 cases were in the group of simple microwave ablation treatment,15 cases were in the group of simple radiotherapy immunotherapy,18 cases were in the group of combined microwave ablation treatment with 131Ⅰ-chTNT radioimmunoassay.During the study,the T lymphocyte subsets,the activity of NK cells,the expressing of interleukin (IL)-2,IL-10,IL-12,the changing of the interferon γ(IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were detected and compared of before and after treatment on all the patients.Results The CD4+ value,CD4+/CD8+ value and the activity of NK cells in these three groups after treatment were higher than that of before treatment (P ＜ 0.05),there was statistic difference between the combined treatment group and two simple treatment groups (P ＜ 0.01).The expression of IL-2,IL-12,IFN-γ TNF-α in three group patients after treatment were higher than that of before treatment,which had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05),while there were no significant differences between groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The method combined microwave ablation treatment with 131Ⅰ-chTNT radioimmunoassay has efficiency to improve the immune function,which could improve the comprehensive therapeutic effect of lung cancer excellently.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of fluorouracil implants in Stage Ⅲgastric carcinoma patients after radical gastreetomy. Methods The general state of health and cumulative survival of 200 stage Ⅲ gastric carcinoma patients undergone radical gastrectomy from January, 1999 to, December 2002 in the People's Hospital of Zhongshan City were analyzed, in which only 120 patients administrated fluorouracil implants during radical gastreetomy. The therapeutic effects of fluorouracil implants in stage Ⅲ gastric carcinoma patients after radical gastrectomy were observed. Results The differences of weight (P = 0.041), HGB(P =0.024), Plt(P =0.017), CEA(P =0.001), CA19-9(P =0.003) were significant between two groups. The incidence rate of nausea/emesis in group T (28 %) was higher than that in group O(17 %, P = 0.006), and incidence rates of myelosuppression(P =0.81), diarrhea(P =0.72), hepatic function lesion(P =0.97) and renal function lesion(P =0.20) were no significant. The cumulative 5-year survival rate of group T(45 %) was higher than that in group O (15 %, P =0.002). Conclusion Fluorouracil implants can improve the therapeutic effects on gastric carcinoma patients undergone radical gastrectomy.

Objective To compare the effects of equivalent dose of sufentanil and fentanyl on wake-up test and recovery profile in scoliosis surgery. Methods Forty ASAⅠ-Ⅱadolescents undergoing scoliosis surgery were randomly divided into fentanyl group (group F,n=20) and sufentanil group(group S,n=20). Anesthesia was maintained with low-flow(1 L/min) inhalation of isoflurane and nitrous oxide (O2∶N2O=1∶1) in both groups. Intermittent i.v. boluses (1～1.5 ?g/kg) of fentanyl was used for analgesia in group F, and total dosage was not more than 5?g/kg when the wake-up test was started. Continuous infusion of sufentanil [0.1～0.2 ?g/(kg?h)] was maintained in group S, and total dosage was less than 1 ?g/kg when the wake-up test was started. The wake-up test time, postoperative recovery time, end-tidal isoflurane concentration(ETiso) and other hemodynamic variables during operation were recorded. Results There was no significant difference in the wake-up test time, postoperative recovery time, bucking and/or restlessness during the wake-up test, PCA morphine dosage and PONV between the two groups. Conclusion Properly administration of sufentanil does not prolong the intraoperative wake-up test time so that it can safely be used in scoliosis surgery.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and side effects of patient-controlled intravenous morphine with epidural single bolus morphine in postoperative pain relief. Method: Sixty patients undergoing gynecological procedures under epidural anesthesia were randomly assigned to epidural morphine(EPI)group or patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) group. In the EPI group,2 mg of morphine was injected into epidural space at the end of operation. In PCIA group, 1 mg of morphine as a demand dose would be injected intravenously by the patient through a patientcontrolled analgesic delivery system until the pain relieved. The patients were followed up at 4, 8, 12, 24 h after operation,and the degree of pain,sedation, nausea and vomiting were assessed. Result: The total dosage of morphine was higher in the PCIA group(19.08?5.0 mg)than that in the EPI group(2mg,P

Objective To investigate whether apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotypes is associated with postoperative delirium in aged noncardiac surgical patients. Methods Two hundreds and twelve inpatients over 65y, undergoing selective noncardiac surgeries were enrolled in the study. The patients were frequently interviewed and evaluated prospectively for delirium with the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) during the first three postoperative days. APOE genotype was determined using multiplex amplification refractory mutation system pelymerase chain reaction (multi-ARMS PCR) technique. Results Delirium occurred in 45 patients during the first three postoperative days. Of the 212 patients, 18 (8.5%) possessed one or two ApoE 84 allele. There was no significant difference between delirious patients and non-delirious patients(6.7% : 9.0%, P >0.05) in the presence of ApoE ε4 allele. In all four ApoE ε4/4 homozygote patients, one female patient presented a transient delirium status three days be-fore surgery, another male patient presented serious fluctuated delirium symptoms from the second to 17th days after operation. Conclusion The presence of ApoE ε4 allele seems not a predictator of postoperative delirium. ApoE ε4/4 homozygote patients may be more indulgent to delirium than others.

Objective To compare the efficacy of interscalene brachial plexus block using an ultrasound-guided method with nerostimulator-guided method.Methods Ninety ASAⅠ～Ⅱ patients scheduled for surgery of the upper extremity were randomly allocated into three groups(n=30),Control group: nerve stimulator-guided and single-injection group;US group: ultrasound-guided with nerve stimulator confirmation and single-injection group;UD group: ultrasound-guided with nerve stimulator confirmation and double-injection group.Thirty mL 0.5% ropivocaine was injected in each group.The patient in group UD received half the volume of ropivocaine injected around the two target nerves.Results The average onset time of sensory blockade in the UD group was significantly shorter than in the US group and Control group.The rate of satisfactory sensory blockade in the UD group was significantly higher than in the US group and Control group.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block may shorten the onset time with fewer adverse events.The ultrasound-guided double-injection method may significantly improve the quality of blockade.

Objective To evaluate the dosimetric effects of air cavity on primary tumor and organs at risk (OARs) during intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.Methods Nine patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma had CT simulation before treatment and on the 25 fraction of radiotherapy.Radiotherapy plan1 was first created by delineating the target volumes and OARs on the first CT image, which was then copied and merged with the second CT image.Air cavity that was formed following tumor volume regression was delineated on the first CT image, and the density of air cavity was set to zero.A new gross target volume (GTV) was formed by subtracting the air cavity from the original GTV, and the new CT image was named CTAir.Plan2 was then created by calculating the dose distribution on CTAir using the same portals and parameters as Plan1.Assuming that Plan1 and Plan2 were both used throughout the course of radiotherapy, the dosimetric parameters of nasopharyngeal tumor and OARs in the absence and presence of air cavity were then compared using the paired t-test.Results Dmean, D95, D90, D10, and D5 of tumor were significantly higher in plan2 than in plan1(P=0.000, 0.001, 0.001, 0.001, and 0.005, respectively), with a<0.5 Gy increase in dose.A dose build-up effect was observed within the tumor region posterior to the air cavity, where the highest dose was 1.4 cm posterior to the air cavity, resulting in a dose difference of 0.36 Gy.In addition, D2cc and D1cc of the brain stem were significantly higher in plan2 than in plan1(P=0.036 and 0.044, respectively).Dmax of the optical chiasm, left optical nerve, and right optical nerve were also increased in the presence of air cavity (P=0.438, 0.434, and 0.477, respectively), but the change in dose was<0.12 Gy.Conclusions Air cavity induces a small but negligible increase in the tumor and OARs dose in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma during IMRT.However, closer monitoring should be conducted for patients with OARs that is close to or has surpassed tolerance prior to radiotherapy.
