Objective:To compare liver adhesive suspension method and V-shaped liver suspension of anterior abdominal wall in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.Methods:This study retrospectively evaluated 115 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy from Jan 2018 to Dec 2019 at Shanxi Provincial People′s Hospital, 59 cases were under liver adhesive suspension (study group) and 56 cases under V-shaped liver suspension of anterior abdominal wall (control group). Intraoperative and postoperative conditions were observed and compared between the two groups.Results:All the 115 cases successfully completed surgery. The liver suspension time in study group was (2.4±0.5)min, which was significantly shorter than that of the control group((12.5±2.6) min)( t=-28.100, P<0.01). The total operation time in was (284±69) min and (307±78) min, respectively, ( t=-1.656, P=0.10). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in preoperative ALT, AST, total bilirubin, intraoperative incidence of hepatic lacerations and subcapsular hematoma, postoperative total bilirubin level, AST on the day 7 postoperatively, tumor location, TNM staging, surgical method, postoperative duration of hospital stay, and VAS score ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Both methods of liver suspension are safe and feasible in laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer.Compared with V-shaped liver suspension of anterior abdominal wall, liver adhesive suspension has the advantages of less invasive, safe, and time-saving.

Background and purpose: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in tumor biological behavior. miRNAs are down-regulated or up-regulated in various cancer types, triggering abnormal cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. This study was designed to investigate the expression and clinical signiifcance of miR-187*in colorectal cancer (CRC), and further to investigate its roles in promoting cell apoptosis. Methods:The expressions of miR-187* in 40 CRC cases were examined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR). The relationship between miR-187*expression and clinical features of CRC was analyzed. HCT116 cells were transfected with a miR-187*mimic and the apoptosis of the transfected cells were examined by lfow cytometry (FCM). Results:The expression of miR-187*was down-regulated in CRC tissues 0.165 (0.106, 0.428) compared with those in normal tissues 0.334 (0.211, 0.712) (P<0.05), especially in mucinous carcinoma and older age CRC (P<0.05). Transfection of HCT116 cells with a miR-187*mimic up-regulated the expression of miR-187*and increased cell early apoptosis (P<0.05). Conclusion: The expression level of miR-187* was lower in CRC. miR-187* expression correlates with histological type and age. Transfection of HCT116 cells with a miR-187*mimic accelerates apoptosis of tumor cells, suggesting that miR-187*is a potent tumor suppressor.

A series of [1,3]dioxolo[4,5-f]isoindolone derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterases (AChE). Furthermore, their effects on memory impairment of mice induced by scopolamine were investigated with step-through test. The results suggested that most of the target compounds exhibited potential inhibition on AChE with IC50 values at micromolar range. Compounds I1 (IC50 value of 0.086 μmol · L(-1)) and I2 (IC50 value of 0.080 μmol · L(-1)) showed the strongest AChE inhibitory activity, which are equipotent to donepezil (IC50 value of 0.094 μmol · L(-1)). Moreover, compounds I1-I4 could improve the memory impairment induced by scopolamine in mice.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of microRNA-224 and microRNA-378e in colorectal cancer tissues and normal mucosa adjacent to tumor lesions. Methods The gene chip technology was used to detect the different expression of miRNA in colorectal carcinoma tissues and adjacent normal tissues, which was then confirmed by real-time PCR. The relationship between the pathology and clinical data was analyzed. Results The expres-sion level of miR-224 was significantly up-regulated in tumor tissue, while miR-378e was down-regulated in tumor tissue, which was confirmed by real-time PCR. The expression of miR-224 was strongly associated with histological types, while miR-378e was strongly associated with the infiltration depth of colorectal cancer. Conclusion miR-224 is a potent tumor promoter, while miR-378e is a potent tumor suppressor. Both miR-224 and miR-378e can be used as potential colorectal cancer molecular markers.
