Objective Laparoscopy-assisted distal gsstrectomy (LADG) with D1 + β lymph node dissection has become the most popular treatment for early gastric cancer in Asian countries. However, no one has shown the same clinical advantages with this procedure as with LADG with D1 + α lymph node dissection. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of LADG with D1 + β to that of LADG with D1 + α lymph node dissection. Methods During the period of June 2002 through June 2006, LADG with D1 + α lymph node dissection was performed in 54 patients, and LADG with D1 + β lymph node dissection was performed in 42 patients. Surgical findings, clinicopathologic data, postoperative course, complications, and blood analysis findings were compared between the two groups. Differences were analyzed with Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test. Results Patients in the two groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, body mass index, and stage and pathologic characteristics of gastric cancer. A significantly greater number of N2 lymph nodes were harvested by D1 + β lymph node dissection than by D1 + α dissection (5.9vs. 2.7, P<0.01). However, no significanees in the total number of retrieved lymph nodes (24.7 vs. 22.2) or perigastric lymph nodes dissected (18.9 vs. 19.4) were identified between the D1 + β and D1 +α groups. There was also no significant difference between the D1 + α and D1 + β groups with respect to operation time, blood loss, complication rate, time to first walking, first flatus, first eating, and first defecation, frequency of analgesics, volume of oral intake on postoperative day 7, weight loss, and postoperative hospital stay. Blood analysis showed there were no significant differences in white blood cell count, levels of C-reactive protein, and serum albumin. Conclusion The short-term outcome of LADG with D1 + β lymph node dissection is comparable to that of LADG with D1 + α lymph node dissection.

Objective To investigate the short?term complications and cosmetic outcomes of radiotherapy in breast conserving surgery for early?stage breast cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data from 30 patients with early?stage breast cancer from 2013 to 2015. All patients underwent breast conserving surgery combined with intraoperative low?energy X?ray radiotherapy. The prescribed dose was 20 Gy at the surface of the applicator. Local complications, radiation injury, and cosmetic outcomes were observed after surgery. Results No grade 3?4 adverse reactions were found in patients. In terms of short?term complications, four patients (13%) had seroma, two of whom needed suction treatment;three patients ( 10%) had grade 1?2 skin erythema. Half of the patients had excellent cosmetic outcomes. None of the patients had local recurrence or distant metastasis. Conclusions Intraoperative low?energy X?ray radiotherapy is safe and feasible in breast conserving surgery for breast cancer. It can be considered as an optional approach for tumor bed boost in some patients with early?stage low?risk breast cancer.

Objective To study the clinical effect of probiotics in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods A total of 200 patients with NAFLD were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (routine treatment group) and combined treatment group A, B and C. Each group had equal patients. The control group received orally polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules; whereas combined group A, B and C were given orally the live"combined Bifidobacterium Lactobacillus and Enterococcus powder","two live combined Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus", and the both probiotics respectively. The duration of treatment was 1 month. Laboratory parameters were evaluated before treatment and thirtieth day after treatment, including cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), fasting blood glucose (FPG), serum high molecular weight adiponectin (HMW-APN) and serum TNFα. Meanwhile the faece sample was collected for routine test and bacterial culture. Liver ultrasound scan was done in all patients. Results In terms of blood lipids and blood glucose, each group improved after treatment with significant differences(P<0.05)except for HDL-C. As for liver function, serum ALT and AST decreased after treatment in each group; especially in combined group C which were lower than those of control group [(33.7±7.6) U/L vs. (45.0±8.5) U/L; (22.0±1.6) U/L vs. (29.4±3.7) U/L; P<0.05]. TNFα levels decreased after treatment in each group, in addition the values in combined group C was significantly lower than that of control group[(0.51 ± 0.27) μg/L vs. (0.82 ± 0.28) μg/L, P<0.05]. Serum HMW-APN increased after treatment in each group, and the HMW-APN in combined C group was significantly higher than that of control group[(9.28 ± 3.72) μg/L vs. (7.87 ± 3.96)μg/L, P<0.05].(5)After treatment, all groups showed improvement of fatty liver by ultrasound, but the difference between groups was not statistically significant.(6)Compared with before treatment, fecal flora in combined groups was all reduced (P<0.01), but it was comparable before and after treatment in control group. Conclusions Probiotics improve intestinal microecological system in NAFLD patients via inhibiting TNFα and enhancing adiponectin, possibly resulting in regulating blood glucose, lipid metabolism, and protecting liver injury from NAFLD.
