Objective To investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphism in glutathione S-transferases T1, M1 and P1 and susceptibility to reflux esophagitis. Methods Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood from the patients with reflux esophagitis (n=109), cases with negative endoscopy reflux disease (NERD) (n=97) and controls (n=97). Genes GSTM1 and GSTT1 were detected by multiplex PCR. A A→G polymorphism of codon 104 of the gene GSTP1 was detected using PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphisms ( PCR-RFLP ) with Alw26I. Results The frequency of variant GSTP1 genotypes (*A/*B and*B/*B) was found to be 40.4% among the patients with reflux esophagitis compared with 24.7% among cases with gastroesophageal reflux without esophagitis and 21.6% among controls (P

Objective In order to research the operative method for preservation of healthy lung in the middle lobe carcinoma.Methods From June,1994 to August,1999,16 cases lobectomy of middle lobe cancer were performed.12 of 16 cases were received middle lobectomy with bronchial wedge-shaped resection,6 of which were followed by partial pulmonary artery resection,2 of which,with pulmonary artery sleeve resection,3 of 16 were cured by the middle lobe sleeve lobectomy,one of which was done with combined partial pulmonary artery resection.One of 16 received both middle and lower lobectomy,simultaneously,completed upper pulmonary vein and lower pulmonary vein reconstruction.Results 16 cases operation were all successful.The survival rate in 1 and 3 years were 88% and 50%,respectively.Conclusion Bronchovascular resection and reconstruction applied to treat the middle lobe cancer not only could maximal remove the focal lesion,but also reserve the healthy lung fully,and expanded the surgical indication.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical efficacy between acupuncture and intravenous administration of lipoic acid and alprostadil for distal symmetric multiple peripheral neuropathy of diabetes mellitus.

METHODSSixty patients were randomly divided into an acupuncture group (31 cases) and a medication group (29 cases). Patients in the two groups received basic treatment to control blood sugar within a safe range. On this basis, patients in the acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture at Geshu (BL 17), Weiwanxiashu (EX-B 3), Ganshu (BL 18), Pishu (BL 20), Shenshu (BL 23), Zusanli (ST 36), Taixi (KI 3), ashi points, etc. Patients in the medication group were treated with intravenous administration of lipoic acid (0.6 g) and alprostadil (10 mg). The treatment was given once a day, 10 days for a course of treatment; there was an interval of 2 days between courses, and totally 3 courses were given. The score of peripheral neuropathy of diabetes mellitus, the change of nerve conduction: velocity and clinical efficacy before and after treatment in the two groups were observed.

RESULTSAfter treatment, the score of peripheral neuropathy was significantly reduced in the two groups (both P < 0.05), which was more significant in the acupuncture group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) and motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) of median nerve and common peroneal nerve were significantly increased in the two groups (all P < 0.05). Compared between two groups, the SNCV and MNCV of common peroneal nerve in the acupuncture group were significantly superior to those in the medication group (both P < 0.05); the MNCV of median nerve in the acupuncture group was significantly superior to that in the medication group (P < 0.05); the SNCV of median nerve in the acupuncture group was not significantly different from that in the medication group (P > 0.05). The total effective rate was 83.9% (26/31) in the acupuncture group, which was significantly superior to 62.1% (18/29) in the medication group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture and conventional medication both have satisfied effects for distal symmetric multiple peripheral neuropathy of diabetes mellitus, and acupuncture is superior to medication on improving clinical signs of sensory disorder, reflection disturbance and muscle weakness, nerve conduction and clinical curative effect.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and the surgical experience of bronchoplasty and pulmonary artery reconstruction in the treatment of lung cancer of the left pulmonary artery affected. Methods From January, 1990 to December, 2004, 16 patients with lung cancer of the left pulmonary artery affected underwent bronchoplasty and pulmonary artery reconstruction. According to TNM classification, 16 patients were in stage ⅢA. The surgical procedures included sleeve resection of bronchus in 16 cases, sleeve resection of pulmonary artery in 11 and wedge resection of pulmonary artery in 5. Results The overall 1, 3 and 5-year survival rates were 75.0 %, 45.5 %, and 33.3 % respectively. Conclusion The results suggest that brenchoplasty and pulmonary artery reconstruction for the patients with lung cancer of pulmonary artery affected is an effective surgical technique. This method extends the surgery indications to patients with poor lung function and senility by reducing the ratio of pneumonectomy and improving postoperative quality of life. Therefore, it is clinically valuable.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of reconstruction by using the free iliac flap with nerve anastomosis to repair the composite tissue defects of heel.Methods From March 2009 to August 2012,five cases with the composite tissue defects of heel,including 2 cases with the bottom defects and 3 cases with the tibial defects of heel,were repaired by the free iliac flap,and the feeling of the heel were reconstructed by nerve anastomosis of the flap.The ventral wound were sutured simply.Results All iliac flaps survived and the wound healed in one stage.Patients were followed up from 6 months to 12 months.Appearance and function recovered and the feeling recovered from S2-S3.The foots walked freely.The skin of iliac abdomen were scarred and lead to hyperpigmentation.Conclusion Using the free iliac flap with nerve anastomosis could repair the bone and soft tissue defects of heel and reconstruct the sensation of warmth and sense of pain of the heel.With the characteristics of hidden wound and little damage,the clinical effects was satisfied.

Objective Non small cell lung cancer( NSCLC) is a common tumor and the blood of NSCLC patients is generally in a state of high coagulation.However, as a predictor of coagulation, few study has been done on the role of D-dimer level in lung cancer.This article aimed to analyze the prognostic value of plasma D-dimer level in patients with advanced NSCLC and its relation with pulmonary embolism Methods The study collected patients with lung cancer treated in Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 1, 2013 to October 31, 2015.The serum levels of D-dimer were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Based on different lev-els, the patients were divided into high expression group and normal expression group.The relationship between D-dimer level and the prognosis of lung cancer patients were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test univariate analysis.T test was used to ana-lyze the difference of D-dimer between patients with and without pulmonary embolism. Results In all the enrolled subjects,103 ca-ses (73.75%) of plasma D-dimer were normal, while 37 patients (26.25%) were elevated.Survival analysis showed that the patho-logical status, tumor size and D-dimer were independent prognostic factors; and the D-dimer in patients with pulmonary embolism was 5.37 ±1.23 μg/mL, while the patients without pulmonary embolism was 0.43 ±0.73μg/mL, D-dimer in patients with pulmonary embol-ism was high than the patients without pulmonary embolism, showing significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Plasma D-dimer is an independent prognostic factor for the prognosis of lung cancer, which is obviously higher in patients with lung cancer and pulmonary embolism than in patients without pulmonary embolism.
