Objective To investigate the therapeutic methods and curative effect of combined interven-tional therapy on hepatic metastasis from colorectal cancer. Methods Hepatic artery angiography and port-calheter-system( PCS) were undertaken in 35 cases of liver metastasis from colorectal cancers. Therapeutic measare were divided into transcatheter arterial infusion(TAl) in 10 cases and transcatheter arterial emboliza-tion(TAE) in 25 cases according to their angiographic features. Drugs included oxalic acid platinum, CPT11 , MMC and 5-Fu + CF. Laser ablation under the CT guidance was taken after 2-3 courses of treatment, including 9 cases of ethanol ablation besides laser ablation. The curative effects were determined after laser ablation by checking with CT and CEA one month later. Results The lesions shrank in 17 cases, while 13 remained the same and enlarged in other 5 after 2-3 courses of TAE or TAI. CEA reduced in 6 cases, with no change in other 5 and increas in another 3 among the 14 positive CEA cases. CT scan showed spotty gasification in 29 cases and whole gasification in 6 after additional ablation treatment. Among them, the foci dwindled in 8 cases treated by solely laser ablation, with no change in 5 and increase in 7. The foci dwindled in 5 cases, 2 remainal the same and increase in 2 of 9 cases treated by the combination of laser ablation and percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI). Among 8 unchanged or increased CEA cases after TAE or TAI, showed decrease in 3 cases, other 4 remained the same and another increased after ablation. Conclusions 1. The blood supply of hepatic metastastic foci from coloreclal cancer is mainly fed by hepatic artery and subselective transcatheter angiography showed tumor stain clearly. 2. By means of PCS and TAI or TAE, using oxalic acid platinum, CPT11 and 5-Fu regular chemical therapy provided a better curative effect for metastasis. But 3. TAI or TAE can not eliminate all foci laser combining with ethanol ablation would be the effective complement.

ObjectiveTo modify the technique of whole small bowel transplantation in rats to improve the survival.MethodsOne hundred and six SD rats served as donors and recipients to establish a homogeneous and orthotopic model of small bowel transplantation without fistula.Anastomosis of aorta and vein was done with three- cuff technique,the vena mesenterica superior of recipient was done under a surgical microscope.End-to-end anastomosis was performed between donor proximal small intestine and receptor jejunum,and also between the remote and receptor ascending colon.Surviving more than 3 days after surgery was defined as the operation was successful.ResultsThe operation was successfully carried out in 48 cases with the survival rate of 90.6% (48/53).The average warm ischemic time was 0 minute,and the average cold ischemic time was(30 ±2.48)min.The survival rate( >7 d) was 97.9% (47/48).ConclusionsOn the basis of three-cuff technique,the survival of SBT was greatly improved.When the vena mesenterica superior of recipient was done under a surgical microscope,the surgical training time was shortened.

Objective To investigate the interventional therapy for the complication in the treatment of advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods 62 cases of primary hepatocellular carcinoma confirmed by pathology,imagings and AFP,were randomly divided into 2 groups according to odd or even hospitalization number.32 patients were enrolled in the TACE group(control group)and 30 patients were enrolled in the combination therapy group(TACE + other kinds of therapy).Patients in the combination therapy group underwent the TACE procedure adding with another kind of therapy for treating the complication such as arterial,venous,portal vein cancer embolism,or the inferior vena cava tumor embolisms and may further include ablation of residual cancer,jaundice,hepatic abscess or biloma.Results 1,2,3-years survival rates and median survival rates of the control group and combination therapy group were 68%,50%,19% and 87%,75%,48%;1.5 years and 2 years,respectively.Survival rate and duration in the combination therapy group was significantly greater than those of control group(P

Nogo receptor is specific inhibiting factor conjuncted with myelin of central nervous system(CNS).After spinal cord injury,oligodendroglial cell and Nogo-A released from myelin inside cells inhibited the axonal regeneration.To analyze the intervention for Nogo receptor through molecule outside cell,information inside cell and gene,make clearing the inhibiting action of myelin-associated inhibiting factor-1,provide new thoughts and methods about axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury.

Objective To study the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) between complete and incomplete spinal cord injured patients. Methods 177 cases of acute cervical spinal cord injury were observed from April 2007 to July 2010. According to ASIA classification, 52 cases of grade A involved in observation group, while 125 cases of grades B~D involved in control group. Intervention included low molecular weight heparin and rehabilitation training. Incidence of VTE in two groups was compared. Results There was 11 cases complicated with VTE in the observation group (21.2%) while 6 cases in the control group (4.8%). There was a difference in incidence of VTE between two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion There is a higher incidence of VTE in complete than incomplete cervical spinal cord injury

Objective To investigate severe complications of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) applying for preventing pulmonary embo-lism after spinal cord injury. Methods From December 2014 to July 2015, 95 patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI) in our hospital were retrospected. Results Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) appeared in 23 cases, in which 15 cases placed IVCF. All patients accepted anti-coagulant therapy, except 10 cases with contraindication. 3 cases had severe complication, in which 2 cases had comprehensive DVT distal to IVCF, with both lower limbs severe swelling, acute renal inadequacy and hypertension;1 case had continuous hyperpyrexia. Conclusion Although the IVCF placement was widely used in acute SCI for preventing pulmonary embolism in patients with DVT, however, the selec-tion of IVCF and complication prevention should be taken into account.

Objective Serum miRNA has been regarded as a potential biomarker for diagnosis, therapeutic evaluation and prognostic prediction in cancer patients. This study aims to explore the clinical significance of the expression level of metastasis- related microRNA (miR- 18b) in the serum in AFP- negative (≤ 20 ng/ml) hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients receiving radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Methods A total of 131 HCC patients with negative serum AFP, who were encountered during the period from January 2007 to January 2011 at authors’ hospital, were enrolled in this study. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the lesions was carried out in all patients. Serum samples were collected before RFA. Forty - three healthy individuals were selected for control. The expression level of serum miR - 18b was deternmined by using quantitative real- time PCR method in all the patients and the healthy individuals. The correlations of the expression level of serum miR - 18b with clinico - pathological factors, postoperative recurrence, overall cirrhosis (P = 0.035), tumor diameter (P < 0.01) and tumor differentiation (P = 0.020). During the follow-up period, 79 patients (60.3%) developed recurrent tumors, and the expression level of serum miR- 18b in them was dramatically higher than that in the patients showing no recurrence (3.26 ± 1.28 vs. 2.42 ± 0.86, P <0.01). The incidence of recurrence after RFA, especially distant intrahepatic metastasis, in patients with higher expression level of serum miR- 18b was strikingly higher than that in patients with lower expression level of serum miR- 18b (72.3% vs. 48.5%, P = 0.005). Kaplan- Meier survival analysis indicated that both overall survival rate and recurrence- free survival rate of patients with higher expression level of serum miR-18b were significantly lower than those of patients with lower expression level of serum miR- 18b. Conclusion The expression level of serum miR - 18b is significantly elevated in AFP - negative HCC patients. The expression level of serum miR- 18b might be used as an ideal biomarker for monitoring tumor recurrence as well as for predicting prognosis after RFA.
