Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2015;14(6):445-448
Liver metastasis is the leading cause of death from colorectal cancer.Surgical treatment is so far the best choice for the treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).However,how to suitably select an individualized chemotherapy in perioperative period and surgical time and tool is still under controversy.Therefore,the key factors of improving the prognosis of patients with CRLM include overall evaluation of the patients and their preoperative examination outcomes,dividing patients into different groups based on different therapeutic goals,understanding different therapeutic goals of each group,selecting suitable chemotherapy and targeted therapy,ensuring surgical time (synchronous or stepwise resection) and tools (minimally invasive or open surgery) through multidisciplinary team model.

Objective To investigate the alterations of SHP-2 mRNA of thymus cells of mice with ? ray-induced leukemia. Methods BALB/c mice were randomly divided into canceration group, non-canceration group, and control group. The gene mutation and content of SHP-2 mRNA in thymus cells were detected by PCR-SSCP, DNA sequencing, and real time fluorescence quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR). Results PCR-SSCP showed there was gene mutation within 700~1 096 bp of SHP-2 mRNA in thymus cells of mice in the canceration group, which was not supported by DNA sequencing. No significant difference in change of SHP-2 mRNA content was found in thymus cells in canceration, non-canceration, and control groups. Conclusion There is translational abnormality of SHP-2 mRNA in thymus cells of mice with ? ray-induced leukemia, which is presented as translational enhancement.

Objective To report a case of early rebleeding of an arterial wall wide-necked aneurysm of the internal carotid artery with stenting and coil embolization. Methods Balloon-expandable stent was deployed across the aneurismal neck through endovascular approach. Microcatheter was superselectively introduced into the aneurismal sac for coil packing. Results The procedure was technically successful with stent completely covering the neck and 90% occlusion by coil packing of the aneurysm; simultaneously keeping the patency of parent artery and adjacent perforating arteries. The patient recovered well, but died for rerupture and rebleeding of the treated aneurysm on the 16th day after the procedure. Conclusions Endovascular stenting combined with coil embolization is an alternative method for treating anterior wall wide-necked aneurysm of the internal carotid artery, but attention and recognition of the risk of early rebleeding of the treated aneurysms should always be kept on mind therefore short-term follow-up and prompt treatment are critically necessary.

Objective: To compare the effects of droperidol, midazolam sedation on implicit memory in patients under epidural anesthesia. Methods: Thirty- two patients with ASA I 一 II un-dergoing general surgery operations with epidural anesthesia were divided into 2 groups,group D received droperidol 2.5mg and fentanyl 0.05mg as sedative, group M received midazolam 3mg and fentanyl 0.05 mg as sedative. The explicit memory and implicit memory scores were gained by methods of process dissociation procedure, and the patients' assessment of alertness/sedation scales were graded simultaneouly. Results: The median of patient' assessment of alertness/ seda-tion scale in group D and group M were 4 and 3 respectively. Patients in group D had higher explicit memory scores and lower implicit memory scores than those in group M. But the implicit memory had not disappeared completely in group D. Respiratory depression emerged when increasing the dosage of droperidol. Conclustion: Droperidol can specifically depress the implicit memory, but it results in respiratory depression when the dosage of droperidol increased. It limits the usage of droperidol to eliminate the implicit memory completely.

Objective: To establish a curve of dosage gradient-liver signal intensity of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) in normal rats and to find an appropriate dose for enhancement. Methods: Seventy-two SD rats, 4 rats a group at random, underwent MR enhancement with 0, 2, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100, 140, 210, 280 μmol/kg SPIO respectively after plane examination. The signal-to-noise ratio of liver was measured and a curve of dosage gradient-liver signal intensity was made. Results: (1)With the increase of SPIO dose, the signal intensity of both T1 and T2 weighted images of liver declined. (2)T2 weighted images was more sensitive than T1 weighted images in small dose, the ED50 of T1 weighted was 8 μmol/kg, and the ED50 of T2 weighted was 5 μmol/kg. (3)When the dose was greater than 15 μmol/kg, the signal intensity of T1 weighted images declined more rapidly than T2 weighted, the effect of enhanced T1 weighted images resembled T2 weighted ones, and its images was with more fine resolution. (4)At the dose of 40 μmol/kg, the signal intensity of T1 weighted images approached the background noise, and at the dose of 15 μmol/kg, the signal intensity of T2 weighted images approached the background noise. Conclusion: Good effect of T1 and T2 enhanced MR imaging can be acquired at the dose of 20-10 μmol/kg SPIO respectively, the best contrast-to-noise ratio is found on T2 weighted enhanced MR image.

Objective To study the effect of brucine on the growth of a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line in vitro. Methods Brucine was added into a liver cancer cell line of SMMC-7721 in vitro, at drug concentration of brucine from 2. 5 μg/ml to 400 μg/ml. The inhibition rate of cell growth was measured by MTT technique after the cells were cultured for 72 hours. The protein and mRNA expression of PCNA,cyclin D1 and FAS were respectively assayed with Western blotting and fluorescent quantitation RT-PCR techniques at 24, 48, 72 h. Results The inhibition rate of liver cancer cell was near 100% when the brucine concentration was at 320 μg/ml. The protein and mRNA expression of FAS were of no significant difference at 24 h vs 48 h ( seperately F = 2. 547,1. 582, all P > 0. 05 ), and significant difference existed at 24 h vs 72 h( seperately F = 1. 036, 1. 137, all P < 0. 05 ). The protein and mRNA expression of PCNA,Cyclin D1 were of no significant difference between various time period( seperately PCNA F = 3.612,2. 174,3.029;Cyclin D1 F=2.361,2.915,1.976,all P>0.05). Conclusions Brucine inhibits the growth of liver cancer cells, by inducing increased apoptosis of the cells probably through FAS overexpression.

Objective To observe the effect of exposure of emphysema with intermittent hypoxia on oxidative stress injury of myocardial cells in rats. Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were divided randomly into four experimental groups(each n=15). The normal control group was bred normally. The emphysema group was exposed to cigarette smoke twice a day(once 30 minutes). The intermittent hypoxia(IH)group was exposed to intermittent hypoxia circumstance 8 hours/day,and the emphysema with IH group was exposed to cigarette smoke twice a day (once 30 minutes)and intermittent hypoxia circumstance 8 hours/day. Each group was exposed for 8 weeks. At the beginning of 9 weeks,the blood gas analysis was performed in 5 rats selected randomly from each group,and the rest rats were sacrificed and their hearts and lungs were taken. Under light microscope,the lung tissues stained with hematoxylin-eosin(HE)were examined. The lung pathology and the results of blood gas analysis showed that the emphysema with IH rat model was established successfully. The levels of malonaldehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)in rat myocardium were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and the subunit p22phox mRNA expressions of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADPH)-oxidase were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). Results Compared with the normal group, the MDA levels and p22phox mRNA expressions were increased obviously in emphysema group, IH group and emphysema with IH group〔MDA(μmol/g):2.93±0.54, 3.58±0.63, 4.51±0.72 vs. 1.75±0.56, p22phox mRNA:0.043±0.004,0.067±0.015,0.123±0.016 vs. 0.018±0.002,all P<0.05〕,but the activities of SOD were decreased significantly(U/mg:36.07±4.79,33.51±7.12,24.29±5.36 vs. 46.08±5.12,all P<0.05). In emphysema with IH group,the increase of MDA levels and p22phox mRNA expressions and decrease of SOD levels were more remarkable compared with those in emphysema group and IH group(all P<0.05). The expression of p22phox mRNA was positively correlated with MDA level(r=0.734,P<0.001). Conclusion The myocardial tissue oxidative stress injury in rats induced by emphysema with intermittent hypoxia exposure is more serious than that induced by exposure of either emphysema or intermittent hypoxia alone,NADPH oxidase possibly being the important medium of myocardial cell response to oxidative stress.
