Objective To investigate the systemic stress responses after laparoscopic resection in colorectal cancer patients.Methods Sixty patients were randomized into the laparoscopic resection group (30 cases) and open resection group (30 cases) from October 2001 to September 2002 in our hospital.Analgesic dosages, recovery time of intestinal peristalsis, postoperative temperatures, C reactive protein(CRP), IL 6 and white blood cell (WBC) counts were recorded after operation. Results The changes of postoperative temperatures and WBC counts showed no significant difference between two groups.But in the laparoscopic resection group, the recovery time of intestinal peristalsis, postoperative analgesic dosages, CRP and IL 6 significantly decreased ( P

Objective To evaluate the value of the use of fibrin glue in radical mastectorny for breast cancer. Method 52 patients with breast cancer were divided randomly into two groups. In one group (27 patients) fibrin glue was used during radical mastectomy, while in the other group (25 patients), fibrin glue was not used. The volume of drainage on the first postoperative day and total volume of drainage after the operation were collected and measured. The fluid accumulation underneath the flap was also observed. Result In patients with the use of fibrin glue, the amount of drainage was much less compared with those without the use of fibrin glue. Having marked diversity ( P

OBJECTIVE: To develop an HPLC method for simultaneous determination of multiple-components in Hedyotis diffusa Willd. METHODS: The HPLC analysis was carried out on a C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) by gradient elution with acetoni-trile-water[both containing 0.1‰ (V/V) acetic acid] as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8 mL·min-1, the column temperature at 35°C, and the detection wavelength was set at 238 nm. External standard method and quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker (QAMS) method were adopted for simultaneous determination of six components in Hedyotis diffusa Willd, respectively. RESULTS: The linear ranges for asperulosidic acid, quercetin-3-O-[2-O-(6-O-E-feruloyl)-β -D-glucopyranosyl]-β-D-glucopyrano-side, kaempferol-3-O-[2-O-(6-O-E-feruloyl)-β-Z) -gfucopyranosyl]-β-D-galactopyranoside, (E)-6-O-p-coumaroyl scandoside methyl ester, (E)-6-O-feruloyl scandoside methyl ester, (Z)-6-O-p-coumaroyl scandoside methyl ester were 2.34-93.50, 2.61-104.33, 0.67-26.69, 3.42-136.84, 0.65-26.07, and 1.10-44.17 μg·mL-1 (r<0.9993), respectively. The RSD values of precision, reproducibility, and sample stability were not more than 2.2%. The average recoveries of the six components were 99.8%-101.1% with RSDs not more than 1.2%. The P values of external standard method and QAMS by paired t-test were greater than 0.05. CONCLUSION: There is no significant difference in the content analysis results of the two methods, which can both used for simultaneous determination of the four iridoids and two flavonoids in Hedyotis diffusa Willd.

Objective To explore influence of long-term inhaled glucocoticoids(IGS) on soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1)) in children with bronchial asthma.Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) method was used to detect the serum sICAM-1 level in 36 healthy children and 29 children with bronchial asthma(untreated and post-treated for 3,6 and 12 months).Results 1.Serum sICAM-1 level was significantly elevated in children with asthma and significantly higher than that in normal control group(P

Objective:This work aims to explore the long-term efficacy and complications of late-course accelerated hyperfrac-tionation (LCAHF) for treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods:A total of 58 patients who consulted from December 2005 to May 2008 and histologically proven nasopharyngeal carcinoma at initial diagnosis were randomized into an LCAHF group (experimental group) and a conventional fractionation (CF) group (control group). The treatment dose for both groups was 2 Gy per fraction once dai-ly, 5 days a week. After the 40 Gy to 50 Gy dose, the dosage in the LCAHF group was increased to two daily doses at 1.5 Gy per frac-tion 6 h apart, 5 days a week. The total dose in this group was 73 Gy to 76 Gy, the total dose in the CF group was 70 Gy to 76 Gy, with the total course of the treatment shortened by 0.5 weeks to 1.5 weeks in the former group. Results:The 5-year control rates of the naso-pharyngeal cancers was 86% in the LCAHF group and 59% in the CF group (P=0.021), with statistically significant differences be-tween the two groups. The late complications slightly increased in the LCAHF group than in the CF group, but the differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion:LCAHF treatment improves the local control of nasopharyngeal carcinoma without increasing the incidence of long-term complications.

Serum bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) , osteocalcin (OC) , C-telopeptides of type-1 collagen (CTx) , osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels, and bone mineral density (BMD) were evaluated in 62 hyperthyroid patients and 60 healthy subjects matched for sex and age. In hyperthyroid patients, the biochemical evaluations and bone density were performed before and after 6 months of methimazole ( MMI) treatment. Results showed that the BMD in lumbar spine L2 - L4, neck of femur, Ward's triangle and greater trochanter of patients before treatment were all significantly lower than those in healthy controls, and improved markedly after MMI treatment. The serum bone turnover parameters BAP, OC and CTx in patients before treatment were all significantly higher than those in control group, and were decreased markedly after treatment. The serum OPG level in patients with hyperthyroidism was significantly higher than that in healthy controls, and decreased markedly after treatment. The serum OPG levels were significantly correlated with bone turnover parameters ( BAP, OC, CTx) and BMD, which indicates that serum OPG level can reflect the abnormality of bone metabolism in patients with hyperthyroidism.

Objective To study the effect of hand-assisted laparoscopic anterior resection for rectal cancer(RC).Methods The clinical data of 28 cases of RC operated with hand-assisted laparoscopy were analyzed retrospectively. Results The operations in all the 28 cases were successfully performed, and no intra-or post-operative complications were observed.The number of resected lymph nodes and the resected margins from the tumor were sufficient.After operation,the patients felt less pain, recovered quicker and bowel movement recovered early;first postoperative flatus was appeared at 32 hours after operation;average postoperative hospital stay was 7 days.All the patients were followed-up for 8 to 19 months,and no trocar port tumor implantation or local recurrence occurred.Conclusions The results demonstrate that hand-assisted laparoscopic anterior resection in the treatment of RC have many advantages,such as safe,less trauma,the patients recover quicker,resection of the tumor more complete etc,so it can be used extensively.
