Objective Genecology is making great progress in the 21th Century. At the same acupuncture will play and inportant role in the postgenome thmes. So it is considered that acupuncture mechanism have certain experence to draw on modern genetic theories and techniques, especially in crucial functional gene control. And the opinion ablut establishing acupuncture and geneti expression pedigree database is brorght up.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical application of 256 multi-slice spiral computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) technique in the preoperative evaluation of mesenteric angiography in order to provide a reference to vessel anatomy and dissociation in laparoscopic radical operation for colorectal carcinoma.

METHODSClinical data of 50 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent preoperative MSCTA+FDCT and laparoscopic curative operation at our hospital from October 2013 to March 2015 were collected (MSCTA group). The evaluation item was visualization of mesenteric artery, which was compared with the findings under laparoscopic surgery. Meanwhile, another 50 colorectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical operation by the same surgeon team without preoperative MSCTA examination were used as control(control group). Clinical data were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSMSCTA precisely and correctly demonstrated anatomy and variations of the mesenteric artery and relative nutrient vessel in carcinoma. The angiography reconstruction images were consistent with the visual anatomy and variation from laparoscopic findings, whose diagnostic conformity rate of 100%. As compared to control group, operative time was shorter [(195.0±23.2) minutes vs.(218.0±19.6) minutes, t=8.326, P=0.015], and blood loss was less[(168.1±18.8) ml vs. (206.5±14.3) ml, t=-19.369, P=0.002] in MSCTA group. Differences of number of harvested lymph node, postoperative complication morbidity, postoperative hospital stay and hospitalization cost were not significant between two groups(all P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONPreoperative MSCTA can demonstrate anatomy and variations of the mesenteric artery precisely and correctly, thus it is beneficial to shorten the operation time and to reduce blood loss.
