Objective To explore which method is more advantaged by comparing two kinds of tubular stomach in esophageal cancer operation and the occurrence of postoperative complications.Methods There were 47 esophageal cancer patients and they were randomly divided into two groups:A group including 24 patients and making mechanical clipping lesser curvature,B group including 23 patients and hand-sewn shrink lesser,and the major complications were analyzed and compared.Results All patients underwent radical tumor resection without the operative mortality.There was 1 patient of acute hemorrhagic of gastric resection margin in A group,and there was 1 patient of thoracic gastric leakage and 1 patient of anastomotic fistula in B group.In 12-month follow-up,there was 1 patient of anastomotic narrow in A group and 4 cases in B group (P ＞ 0.05).After 3,6 and 12 months,emptying dysfunction was not found by upper gastrointestinal imaging and CT,but the thoracic stomach expansion was found in two groups,and the degree of thoracic stomach expansion in B group was more serious than that in A group,the part of the thoracic stomach of 3 patients in B group protruding into the opposite chest.There was 1 patient with thoracic-gastro syndrome after eating in A group and 3 patients in B group (P ＞ 0.05).There were 3 patients with mild reflux esophagitis in A group and 10 patients with serious reflux esophagitis in B group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Comparing two operative methods,the mechanical clipping lesser curvature is more advantaged than hand-sewn shrink lesser.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of epicardial transesophageal echocardiography (ETE) in cardiac surgeries. Methods Using the transesophageal multi-plane ultrasonic probe of GE company, ETE were performed for a total of 53 patients undergoing cardiac surgeries with extracorporeal circulation and heart re-beat, evaluating valvular function, left ventricular systolic function and residual shunts. Results Qualiifed ETE images were obtained in all of the 53 cases without complications of infection, bleeding and serious arrhythmia. Intraoperative regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction happened in 5 cases and was promptly handled. Residual mitral regurgitation after valvular replacement was found in one case, which was reduced by valvuloplasty. One case showed moderate tricuspid regurgitation and another two cases indicated residual shunt. All the problems in the above cases were corrected in immediate surgeries. Moreover, the pressure gradient of one hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathic patient fell significantly to 8 mmHg after successful myectomy (the blood flow velocity fell from 3.2 m/s to 1.4 m/s). Conclusion Epicardial transesophageal echocardiogramphic examination is easy to handle and useful in monitoring abnormalities in cardiac surgery by providing hemodynamic and anatomic information.

BACKGROUND:Self-made Distraction Reduction Fixation System is characterized by Distraction Reduction Fixation functions,which can completely fuse to the design of steel plate,and by no need to provide many surgical instruments,by reduction of bleeding and trauma.OBJECTIVE:To test changes in the stiffness of porcine short spinal segments in integrity and following destabilizing and internal fixation of the Distraction Reduction Fixation System.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The control observation experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Biodynamics,Institute of Onhopedics,General Hospital of Chinese PLA from December 2004 to December 2005.MATERIALS:Twelve fresh porcine lumbar spines(T11-S2 segments)were bought from a market.Upper and lower segments were crossed and inserted with Kirschner wire to make porcine spine samples of the L1-7 segments.METHODS:Stiffness of intact samples was recorded during forward-bending,backward-bending,lateral-bending and axial rotation.Intervertebral discs,facet ioints,anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments were removed to loose the spine.Stifrness of each motion was measured.Stiffness tests were repeated again after internal fixation on short segments using Distraction Reduction Fixation System.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Stiffness in the intact,unstable and internal fixed spines during each motion.RESULTS:The stiffness iu unstable porcine spine were significantly lower than those in intact porcine spine(P<0.05),but the stiffness after internal fixation was significantly higher than in unstable porcine spine(P<0.05).No significant difference was detected in stifiness during forward-bending,lateral-bending and axial rotation(P>0.05)except that it was significantly higher during backward.bending after internal fixation compared with the intaet spine(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Biodynamics confirms that the stiffness in short-segment fixation porcine after using Distraction Reduction Fixation System is markedly increased than in unstable porcine spine,except during backward-bending,which is comparable with that in intact porcine spine.

Background and purpose:In recent studies, the Notch-1 gene has been found to play an important role in the development of human glioblastoma.Short interfering RNA(siRNA) was used to silence the Notch-1 gene and block its expression.The objective was to determine whether siRNA targeting Notch-1 would inhibit the formation and growth of tumors in nude mice that modeled human glioblastoma.Methods:The human glioblastoma cell line TJ905 were first cultured and transfected with Notch-1 siRNA or nonsense siRNA by OligofectamineTM.The TJ905 cells were divided into 3 groups:the Notch-1 siRNA transfected group, nonsense siRNA transfected group and the control group.Each group's cells were subcutaneously injected into 5 nude mice.The nude mice(males, 3-4 weeks old) were given subcutaneous injections of either 0.2 mL of transfected siRNA or with normal TJ905 cells suspended at a 1?107 cells/mL concentration in a DMEM medium without serum.One week later, when the tumors were palpable, they were directly injected with the Notch-1 siRNA complex, nonsense siRNA complex, or PBS every 4 days for 20 days.Tumor sizes were measured every 3 days and calculated by the formula:volume(mm3) =1/2 length?(width)2.After a 20-day follow-up period, the mice were exterminated.Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of Notch-1 gene.Results:The final tumor volume was less in nude mice injected with Notch-1 siRNA(1 203?206) mm3 compared mice injected with the nonsense siRNA injection(2 241?401) mm3, P
