Laparoscopic curative gastrectomy has been widely adopted because it is minimal invasiveness.The efficacy of laparoscopic gastrectomy is comparable to that of open gastrectomy for patients with early or advanced gastric cancer,but few studies of laparoscopic total gastrectomy combined with distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy for patients with advanced gastric cancer have been reported.Seven patients with advanced gastric cancer received laparoscopic total gastrectomy combined with distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy at the First Hospital of Jilin University from September 2010 to September 2011.The mean operation time,blood loss,postoperative hospital stay and the nunber of lymph nodes resected were (218 ± 24) minutes,(366 ± 174) ml,( 14.6 ± 2.8 ) days and 32 ± 15,respectively.Two patients were complicated by pancreatic juice leakage and were cured with drainage. No anastomotic leakage,abdominal bleeding or mortality was observed. With the development of techniques and equipments,laparoscopic total gastrectony combined with distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy is safe and feasible in selected patients.

The active ingredient of traditional Chinese medicine, silybin (SBN), can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and enhance the anticancer effect of doxorubicin (DOX). However, due to non-targeting and short half-life of SBN and DOX, as well as different administration routes and pharmacokinetic processes, this combination drug cannot act on the tumor in the set order, seriously eliminating the synergistic effect between them and limiting the effect

Long-term excessive iodine intake resulted in an increased TT_4 level and a decreased TT_3 level in maternal serum,meanwhile,hepatic and renal type 1 deiodinase activity decreased dose-dependently.A significant reduction in type 2 deiodinase ( D2 ) activity of 12.5 d placenta was found in 3.0 mg/L or above groups.For 19.5 d uterus,D2 activity decreased and type 3 deiodinase activity increased.The results suggest that excessive iodine has an effect on the embryonic development by regulating maternal-fetal thyroid hormone metabolism.

To characterize the background current in fetal human nasopharyngeal epithelial cells and clarify its relationship with volume activated Cl(-) currents (I(Cl,vol)), whole-cell patch clamp and cell imaging techniques were employed. Under isotonic conditions, a background current [(5.9+/-2.1) pA/pF at +80 mV, n=21] was detected. The current presented a weak outward rectification and a negligible time-dependent inactivation. The current-voltage relationship showed that the reversal potential of the background current [(-0.73+/-1.7) mV, n=21] was close to the calculated equilibrium potential for Cl(-)(-0.9 mV). Application of extracellular hypertonic stimulation (440 mOsmol/L) suppressed the current by (59.6+/-7.1)% and the inhibition was reversible after returned to isotonic conditions. Bathing the cells in hypotonic solution (160 mOsmol/L) induced a volume-sensitive Cl(-) current. The Cl(-) channel blockers, tamoxifen (20 micromol/L) and 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB) (100 micromol/L), inhibited the background current by (74.0+/-5.2)% (P<0.01, n=5) and (60.9+/-8.9)% (P<0.01, n=6) at +80 mV and increased basal cell volume by (107.7+/-2.9)% (P<0.01, n=25) and (104.4+/-2.4)% (P<0.01, n=19), respectively. The data indicate that Cl(-) current is an important component of the background current in fetal human nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. The background Cl(-) current is involved in volume activated Cl(-) current and basal cell volume regulation.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the change rules of peak area ratio of STR loci to Amelogenin (AMEL) locus (STR/AMEL), a sex-determining gene in DNA degradation, and to evaluate the application of STR/AMEL value in the estimation of DNA degradation degree.
METHODS:
DNA was extracted from iliopsoas, and the variations of STR/AMEL value (Penta E/AMEL, Penta D/AMEL, FGA/AMEL) were analyzed after the artificial degradation was made by DNase I, and the changes of these three ratios of the iliopsoas naturally degraded in an outdoor environment were also analyzed. The regression curves were analyzed using the periods of DNA degradation and outside the body as the independent variable (x) and the STR/AMEL value as the dependent variable (y) and three curve equations under two conditions were established.
RESULTS:
Both under the conditions of artificial and natural degradation, STR/AMEL value had a negative relationship with the degradation time. The relationship between STR/AMEL and degradation time can be well simulated by the cubic function. R2 was over 0.99 under controlled degradation condition and over 0.86 under natural degradation condition.
CONCLUSION
The STR/AMEL value (Penta E/AMEL, Penta D/AMEL, FGA/AMEL) is negatively related with the DNA degradation degree, which follows mathematical regression models strictly, and it might be applied to evaluate the DNA degradation degree.

OBJECTIVETo study the relation of the sex, age, location and chemotherapy with recurrence of the tumor.
METHODSFrom January 2000 to August 2010, 47 patients with giant cell tumor of tendon sheath in upper extremity were retrospectively analyzed. Statistical analysis of sex, age at presentation, lesion location, chemical inactivation, surgical complications, tumor recurrence and pathological findings were explored. There were 28 females and 19 males, ranging in age from 17 to 78 years, with an average of 38.15 years. All the patients underwent surgical excision. Fourteen patients received intraoperative chemically inactive treatment. All the patients had routine follow-up to observe the wound healing, pathological findings,tumor recurrence, and received necessary imaging examinations.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 22 to 129 months, with a mean time of 53.89 months. Four patients who received intraoperative alcohol inactivation appeared wound complications such as wound swelling, discharge of necrotic tissue, delayed wound healing. Fifteen patients had active growth of tumor tissue, 1 patient had low-grade malignant giant cell tumor of tendon sheath. The recurrence rate was significantly higher in the group which preoperative X-ray was found to have bone destruction (P = 0.003); patients receiving chemically inactivation had lower risk of recurrence after surgery than patients not receiving chemically inactivation (P = 0.042).
CONCLUSIONThe recurrence rate of giant cell tumor of tendon sheath in upper limb was closely related to tumor growth site, bone destruction and chemical inactivation. Local excision of giant cell tumor of tendon sheath was the effective treatment. How to identify the patients at high risk of recurrence, how to reduce the recurrence rate and the functional restoration after wide resection are the priorities and difficulties of future researches.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of small dosage aspirin on platelet biochemical indexes in patients with cardio-cerebrovascular diseases and the intervening action of Naoxintong (NXT).
METHODSThe blood levels of P-selectin (P), thrombin B2 (TXB2), and platelet aggregation (PAG) induced by arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) were determined in 145 patients with cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction), after they were medicated with aspirin 100 mg per day for 7 days. Then they were randomly assigned to the aspirin group and the NXT group Both groups took aspirin 100 mg per day continually, but to patients in the NXT group, NXT 9 tablets per day was given additionally. The blood levels of above-mentioned biochemical indexes were re-examined 1 month after medication.
RESULTSThe first determination showed the plasma level of P-selectin and TXB2 concentration were positively correlated with PAG, either induced by AA (r = 0.449, P < 0.01 and r = 0.576, P < 0.01) or by ADP (r = 0.525, P < 0.01; r = 0.501, P < 0.01). Positive correlation also showed between plasma level of P-selectin and TXB2 (r = 0.610, P < 0.01). There was no significant difference of all the three indexes between the two groups (P > 0.05). Re-examination showed that levels of the 3 indexes significantly decreased in both groups (P < 0.01), and all were lower in the NXT group than in the aspirin group respectively (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reaction between two groups (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe anti-platelet effect of one-week administration of aspirin for patients with cardio-cerebrovascular diseases can not be optimal, the combination with NXT could enhance the effect without increase of adverse reaction.

OBJECTIVETo realize human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) and hepatitis C virus(HCV) super-infected with hepatitis G virus(HGV or GBV/C) and to probe into the mechanism of these virus infection in the body.
METHODSHIV and HCV load were tested by the quantitated RT-PCR in the HIV or HCV infected plasma samples respectively and the HGV RNA was detected in all of the samples. Then some of the HGV positive were sequenced.
RESULTS123 of 317 HIV patients were positive for HGV, the positive rate was 38.8%. Among the 91 HCV patients, 19 were positive for HGV. The positive rate is 20.9% which was less than that of HIV patients. HIV load of the patients super-infected with HGV was less than that of those without HGV[(1.8+/-0.6)x10 copies/ml compared with (1.9+/-1.1)x10(2)copies/ml]; while HGV and HCV super-infection did not influence the HCV RNA load significantly [(1.5+/-0.6)x10(4) copies/ml compared with (5.4+/-1.8)x10(4)copies/ml]. The HGV sequences from HIV or HCV patients were compared and showed no difference markedly.
CONCLUSIONThe rate of the HIV and HGV super-infection is higher than that of HCV. HGV may inhibit HIV reproduction in the body while superinfection.
