Objective To study the antitumor effect of dendritic cell(DC) induced cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL). Method CTL induced by DC extracorporeally, were co-cultured with Bxpc-3 cells, CTL activity was observed by counting the killing of Bxpc-3 cells in vitro. Nude mice with Bxpc-3 cell transplant tumors were treated by injection of CTL on the edge of tumors, and kinetics of tumor growth was recorded, RT-PCR-ELISA was used to determine the telomerase of transplant tumor. Result CTL activity was 71.6%. Thirty-one days after transplantation tumor size and telomerase activity were not statistically different among therapy group and control group, whereas after fifty-five days tumor size (38?6)mm 2 , and telomerase activity (1.33?0.03) in CTL group were statistically different from that of ( 74? 33)mm 2 and (4.16?0.32) in control group. ConclusionDC induced CTLs suppress the experimental pancreatic tumor growth, providing an evidence for clinical immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer.

BACKGROUND:The conservative treatment of humeral fracture is difficult to achieve a good reduction. Minimaly invasive percutaneous plate fixation has been widely used, and has good repair results, but the specific mechanism of action is not clear.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the repair effect of different fixation methods on proximal humerus fractures.
METHODS: From August 2011 to October 2014, we selected 96 patients with proximal humerus fractures from the Shougang Hospital of Peking University. These patients were equaly divided into two groups according to the principle of random draw. Patients in the control group were treated with open reduction and conventional surgery fixation. Patients in the treatment group received minimaly invasive percutaneous plate fixation. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, incision length and postoperative hospital stay were recorded in both groups. At 8 weeks after treatment, patients received radiography to identify the reduction. Range of motion of the shoulder joint was scored. Within 8 weeks after treatment, the occurrence of complications was observed and compared in both groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intraoperative blood loss, incision length and postoperative hospital stay were significantly less in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in operation time was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). At 8 weeks after treatment, the excelent and good rate of reduction was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (98%, 81%,P < 0.05). Flexion, abduction, external rotation and internal rotation scores were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Bone compartment syndrome, vascular injury, infection and bleeding were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). These findings confirm that compared with open reduction and internal fixation, minimaly invasive percutaneous plate fixation of proximal humerus fractures has less impact on the body, can promote reduction of the fracture, has few complications, and contributes to the recovery of shoulder function.

Objective To summarize clinical characteristics and experiences in treatment of severe hyperlipidemic pancreatitis (SHLP). Methods A retrospective analysis for 22 cases of SHLP and 91 cases of severe acute biliary pancreatitis (SABP) hospitalized during January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2006 was carried out to compare their clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes. Results Activities of serum and urine amylase in SHLP patients at admission were (715 ± 99) and (382 ± 56) U/L, respectively, significantly lower than those in SABP patients (1551 ± 107) and (773 ± 66) U/L, respectively (P < 0.01). About 55% (12/22) of SHLP patients had pulmonary infection, 36% (8/22) with circulatory failure, 41% (9/22) with respiratory failure and 23 % (5/22) with renal failure, all significantly higher than those in SABP patients SABP [32% (29/91), 14% (13/91), 7% (6/91) and 5% (5/91), respectively, P < 0.01]. Two died of SHLP and 11 of SABP, respectively. Conclusions In diagnosis of SHLP, it should be noticed that no remarkable elevation of activities in serum and urine amylase usually, so during the course of treatment for SHLP, it is important to prevent and treat multi-organ failure, respiratory failure and renal failure in an active way.

The body surface area of adult Chinese males was estimated by using paper cast method.56 healthy individuals, aged 18 to 45, coming from thirteen provinces mostly from Hebei and Hubei were used in this study. From the results obtained, the mean body weight, height and surface area were 59.78kg, 168.8 cm and 1.712 m2 respectively. A height-weight equation for estimating body surface area was derived accordingly, i.e. body surface area(m2)= 0.00607H(cm) + 0.0127W(kg)-0.0689. The error of the value calculated from the equation was 0.17% higher than the value actually taken on an average. The percentage of various body regions to the total body surface area was as follows: head, 6.11; trunk (including neck), 29.59; upper arms, 8.09; forearms, 6.41; hands, 4.93; thighs (including buttock), 24.63; calf, 13.29 and feet, 6.95.For convenient use a table for calculation was given.

Methods Apoptosis was determined quantitatively by TUNEL,and telomerase activity was detected by RT PCR ELISA method. Results Telomerase activity was gradually increased after breast cancer occurred.Conclusion\ As breast cancer occurred,the telomerase activity gradually increased while apoptosis decreased.Telomerase could be a useful marker for diagnosis of the breast cancer.\;[

Objective To assess the value of primary resection and anastomosis without intraoperative irrigation in the patients with obstructive left colonic cancer. Method Between January 2000 and January 2008, 93patients underwent primary resection and anastomosis for colonic cancers were analyzed retrospectively. Primary resection and anastomosis without intraoperative colonic irrigation (decompression by manual defecation) was performed in 43 patients with obstructive left colonic caner and traditional left-sided colectomy in 50 cases without obstruction. Both groups of patients were comparable in terms of gender, nutritional status, underlaying disease, tumor location and stage, etc ( P = 0.83,0.13,0.29,0.51,0.38). The average age of the patients with colonic obstruction was significant older than that of the cases without obstruction (61.2 ± 8.6 vs. 58.1 ±7.8, P =0.010).The operative results were compared between patients with obstructive colonic cancer and cases without obstruction.Results The mean hospital stay of the primary anastomosis group and traditional left-sided colectomy group were (16.6±7.8) d and (12.4±5.4) d respectively, and the former was significant longer than the latter (P =0.002). The costs of hospitalization in the two groups were (50192.8 ± 39727.4) RMB and (46489.3 ±29543.1)RMB respectively (P = 0.04) . The morbidity and mortality in the two groups were 25.6% (11/43) vs. 18%(9/50) (P =0.375) and 2.3% (1/43) vs. 2.0% (1/50) (P =0.714) respectively, and there were no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions Primary resection and anastomosis without intraoperative colonic irrigation (decompression by manual defecation) compares favorably with traditional left-sided colectomy in safety and efficiency for left colonic cancer with obstruction.

Objective Previous investigations suggest that severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is one of the main causes of intra-ahdominal pressure (lAP) increase. The aims of this study were, to evaluate the increased IAP in patients with SAP and the correlation between LAP and severity or prognosis. Method Data of 75 SAP patients admitted to Xuan-Wu Hospital of Capital Medical University intensive care unit with SAP from January 2000 to Jan-uary 2008 were collected. All the patients had at least one organ dysfunction, and they were diagnozed with en-hanced CT, lAP were monitored in the 56 patients. The 56 patients were divided into three groups according to IAP, group A (7- 15 mmHg), group B (16-25 mmHg) and group C (26-31 mmHg). Maximal APECHE Ⅱscore, maximal Ranson score, maximal C-response protein (CRP), maximal arterial lactate, maximal creatinine, organ dysfunction, length of stay and mortality were compared. Results The 56 patients (24 male and 32 female)with average age of (52±14.1) years (ranging 21 - 72 years) and average body mass index (BMI) of 28±12.5(ranging 21 - 35) were monitored with IAP. The etiologic causes of SAP were biliary in 27 patients, alcohol in 14cases, hyperlipidemia in 11 cases and idiopathic in 4 cases. The rate of intra-abdominal hypertension was 89% (50/56), and 32% (18/56) patients complicated with abdominal compartment syndrome. There were 22, 26 and 8 patients in the A, B and C groups respectively. With the increasing of IAP, the maximal APACHE Ⅱ, maximal Ranson score, maximal CRP, maximal creatinine, organ dysfunction and mortality were also increased significant-ly. The mortality of the three groups was 13.6% (3/22), 23.1% (6/26) and 62.5% (5/8) respectively (χ2 =7.56, p = 0.023), and the total mortality of the 56 patients was 25%. The hospital stay of the three groups had no significant differenee(F = 2.23,P = 0.117). Conclusions IAP may be one of the markers used to evaluate the severity of SAP, and the monitoring of IAP is useful to assess the prognosis in patients with SAP.

Objective To assess the value of primary resection and anastomosis with intraoperative colonic defecation in the patients with obstructive left colonic cancer. Methods From January 2000 to January 2008, 39 patients undergoing emergency laparotomy for left colonic cancers with complete obstruction were analyzed retrospectively. Results The patients were 25 males and 14 females, with a median age of 68.5 years (range: 57～78 years). The primary tumors were located at splenic flexure (3/7.7%), descending colon (8/20.5%), sigmoid colon (15/38.5%), boundary of sigmoid colon and rectum (8/20.5%), and superior segment of rectum (5/12.8%). Primary resection and anastomosis with intraoperative colonic de-fection were performed in 18 patients with left hemicolectomy, 13 patients with sigmoid colectomy and 8 pa-tients with anterior resection. Early complications included wound infection in 4 patients (wound disruption in 1 patient) and pulmonary infection in 5 patients. One patient complicated with anastomotic leakage and intra-abdominal abscess died of tumor metastasis after reoperation. Another one died of respiratory failure secondary to pulmonary infection. Morbidity and mortality was 25.6% and 5.1% respectively. Conclusion Primary resection with intraoperative colonic defecation can be applied to patients with malignant colonic complete obstruction with good operative results.
