Objective To investigate the related factors of recurrence of early gastric cancer (EGC) after endoscopic resection. Methods Clinicopathologic data of 169 patients with EGC who underwent endoscopic resection and periodically followed up by the Chinese PLA General hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results During a follow-up of 13-57 months (median time 24. 5 months), 12patients had gastric cancer again and the recurrence rate was 7. 1% (12/169). The recurrence time varied from 3 to 36 (28 ± 23)months and the median time was 18 months. The recurrence rates of 0.5 year, 1st year, 2nd year and 3rd year were 1.18% (2/169), 3.55% (6/169), 9.91% (11/111) and 12.24%(12/98), respectively. Eleven patients had gastric cancer again within 2 years after resection.Undifferentiated histology (including poorly differentiated carcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma),submucosal infiltration and lymphovascular invasion of the primary lesion of EGC were related to thepostsurgical recurrence ( all P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion Most recurrence of EGC occurred within 2 years afterendoscopic resecton and is related with undifferentiated histology, submucosal infiltration andlymphovascular invasion. It is important for these patients to receive endoscopy follow up.

Objective: To investigate the protective effect of 11,12-EET(11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid)on myocardium of immature rabbit hearts from ischemic reperfusion injury. Methods: 16 isolated immature rabbit hearts were performed to ischemic reperfusion model in a Langendorff perfusion apparatus and randomlyassigned to on two groups. Control group, the hearts were arrested with St.Thomas No.2 solution and stored in the same solution (n=8). EET group, the hearts were arrested with St.Thomas No.2 plus 11,12-EET solution and stored in the same solution (n=8). These isolated rabbit hearts were stored for 8 hours at 4℃ hypothermia , and underwent 30 minutes of reperfusion (37℃). We measured the preischemia and postreperfusion indexes of left ventricle developed pressure (LVDP), left ventricle end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), ?dp/pt_ max , myocardial water content (MWC), coronary blood effluent (CBE) and arrhythmia score (AS). The myocardial ultrastructure and value of creatine kinase (CK) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were also observed. Results: (1) After 30 minutes reperfusion, the indexes of CK, LDH, CBE, AS,and the recovery rate of heart function were significantly better in EET group compared with controls. At the same time, no ultrastructural changes were found in the EET group while the capillary endothelial base membrane edema and mitochondrion edema was observed in the control group. (2) In EET group, compared with preischemia, there were no significantly changes of myocardial function at the end of 30-minutes reperfusion. Conclusion: These data suggest that 11,12-EET add to the St.Thomas No.2 solution could offer more little myocardial injury and little arrhythmia and provide better preservation of the isolated immature hearts.

Objective To investigate the effects of Physiotherapy in the prevention of lower extremitydeep venous thrombosis in patients with colorectal tumors after operation. Methods About 55 cases of inpatients admitted to the hospital from November 2014 to November 2015 were selected as the control group, and they were given routine nursing before and after operation. Another 55 cases of inpatients admitted to the hospital from November 2015 to November 2016 were selected as the observation group. On the basis of the control group, the observation group were treated with Physiotherapy in 24h after operation, 30min for once, twice/d, lasting for 7 days. The coagulation function , lower extremity deep venous flow velocity and the incidence of deep venous thrombosis in two groups were compared before operation and 7 days after operation. Result About 7 days after operation, levels of fibrinogen and D-dimer in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01), the lower extremity deep venous blood flow velocity was higher than that in the control group (P<0.01), and the incidence of lower limb deep venous thrombosis was lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion Physiotherapy can improve the coagulation function in patients undergoing colorectal operation, improve the lower extremity deep venous flow velocity and reduce the incidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis.

Objective To observe the protective effect of 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid(11,12-EET)on immature isolated rabbit hearts.Methods Forty-eight isolated immature rabbit hearts were randomly assigned to two groups: Control group,the hearts were arrested with St.Thomas No.2 solution and stored in the same solution ( n =24);EET group,the hearts were arrested with St.Thomas No.2 plus 11,12-EET solution and stored in the same solution ( n =24). All rabbit hearts were stored for 8,16 and 24 h with 4 ℃ hypothetmia, and underwent 30 min reperfusion ( 37 ℃ ). On the Langendorff perfusion apparatus,left ventricle developed pressure (LVDP),left ventricle end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP),+dp/pt max ,coronary blood effluent (CBE) and arrhythmias score were measured before and after ischemia. Myocardial water content,the value of creatine kinase (CK) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were also measured,and myocardial ultrastructure observed. Results Postischemic recovery of myocardial function and myocardial edema were significantly better in EET group at different time points. The changes of arrhythmias score,CK,LDH and myocardial ultrastructure in EET group were superior to those in control group. After the hearts were preserved for 16 h ,the recovery of myocardial function and arrhythmias score in EET group were basically close to the measured values before heart preservation,while those in control group were significantly decreased. After the hearts were stored for 24 h ,all hearts in EET group beated again during reperfusion,but 5 hearts in control group could not beat anymore.Conclusion Addition of 11,12-EET into the St.Thomas No.2 cardioplegic solution could prolong the storage time and enhance the myocardial protective effect to the isolated immature hearts.

OBJECTIVEThe non-specific antitumor immunity effect of 4-1BBL-B7-H3 gene was investigated by establishing an oral squamous cell carcinoma human peripheral blood lymphocyte-severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice chimeric model.

METHODSForty mice were randomly divided into five groups. All groups, except the non-immune reconstitution group (group D), had reconstructed human partial immune system. The control group (group A) was injected with Tca8113 cells. The Ad4-1BBL-B7-H3 group (group B) was injected with Tca8113 cells transfected by adenovirus containing 4-1BBL-B7-H3 gene. The empty vector group (group C) was injected with Tca8113 cells transfected by adenovirus containing an empty vector. The non-immune reconstitution group (group D) was injected with Tca8113 cells. The non-tumor group (group E) was injected with PBS. The tumor volumes in each group were measured weekly. Human IgG in blood was obtained through the tail vein and was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Human CD3+ and D56 lymphocytes were assessed by flow cytometry. Model animals were killed on the ninth week. Differences in the expression of the natural killer group 2 member D (NKG2D) and toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) in tumor tissues of each group were observed by immunohistochemical method. 4-1BBL-B7-H3 gene expression in mice tumor tissues was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the expressions of major histocompatibility complex 1 class related molecule (M1C) A, M1CB, and TLR2 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.

RESULTSThe tumor volumes of group B were remarkably lower than those in the other groups (P < 0.05). Human IgG and CD3+ and CD56+ lymphocytes were detected in the peripheral blood of immune-reconstituted mice. These lymphocytes were remarkably higher in group B than those in groups A, C, and E (P < 0.05). Higher NKG2D and TLR2 expression were observed in group B tumor than those in the other groups. The stable expression of 4-1BBL-B7-H3 gene in group B was proven. The expression of M1CA, M1CB, and TLR2 were significantly higher in the group B tumor than those in groups A, C, and D (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe high 4-1BBL-B7-H3 gene expression in tumor tissues could successfully induce the proliferation of CD3+ and CD56+ lymphocytes. This expression can also directly or indirectly activate TLR2 and up-regulate the expression of NKG2D and its ligands (M1CA and M1CB), which result in an effective antitumor immune response.

Objectives To investigate the methods of protecting external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN)in carotid endarterectomy and to observe the effect of using these methods in clinical surgery. Methods EBSLN (20 sides)of 10 heads of corpse were studied by using microanatomy from January 2013 to December 2013. The occurrence probability of EBSLN on the lower edge of posterior belly of digastric muscle,medial edge of external carotid artery and upper edge of superior thyroid artery in anatomy triangle was analyzed. The distances from the midpoint of the EBSLN to carotid bifurcation, mandibular angle and mastoid tip were measured. Sixty-five patients with carotid endarterectomy in Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from December 2013 to November 2014 were treated with the protective methods of the relevant EBSLN by using anatomy triangle as a mark. Whether the patients had injury symptoms of EBSLN were followed up after procedure. Results (1)The occurrence probability of 20-side EBSLN in anatomy triangle was 95%(19 sides). The midpoint of EBSLN in the anatomy triangle at the posterior mandibular angle was median 0. 34 (-1. 62 to 2. 43)cm,at the inferior mandibular angle was 1. 28 (-1. 33 to 3. 42) cm,at anterior mastoid tip was 2. 84 (0. 51 to 5. 14)cm,at inferior was 4. 51 (2. 82 to 6. 39)cm,and at anterior superior of the carotid bifurcation was 1. 64 (0. 57 to 3. 78)cm. (2)65 patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy used the protective methods of intraoperative EBSLN. There was no manifestation of EBSLN injury at 3 weeks to 9 months after procedure. Conclusion In carotid endarterectomy,taking an anatomic triangle as a symbol,it is no more than 2 cm of the anterior superior of carotid bifurcation during the separation process. As for the patients with higher or lower position of carotid bifurcation,in the range of crossing rear mandibular angle 0. 50 cm or below the mastoid tip 4. 50 cm for arterial separation should be avoided,and this can effectively protect EBSLN.

Objective To assess the factors that influence the accuracy of real-time continuous glucose monitoring system (RT-CGM).Methods A total of 79 diabetic patients wore RT-CGM for three days continuously while calibrating by interphalangeal glucose values 4-8 times a day.We counted matching rate of interphalangeal glucose values and RT-CGM probe value,and analyzed correlation of the matching rate with MAGE,SDBG,MBG,AUC10,AUC3.9,and NGE by Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Then we grouped corresponding match rate by MAGE and MBG,compared the difference among groups.Furthermore,we analyzed correlation of RT-CGM probe values of all-day,fasting-postprandial,and nighttime and the corresponding interphalangeal glucose values by Pearson correlation analysis.Results Pearson correlation analysis showed that the matching rate was negatively correlated with the MAGE,SDBG,MBG,and AUC10.MAGE,MBG,and NGE were in the regression equation.MAGE ＜3.9 mmol/L,matching rate was 81％,3.9 ≤ MAGE＜7 mmol/L,matching rate was 67％,MAGE≥7 mmol/L,the matching rate was 52％,the difference among 3 groups was statistically significant (P＜0.01).MBG＜7.8 mmol/L,matching rate was 78％,7.8 ≤ MBG＜ 10 mmol/L,matching rate was 68％,MBG ≥10 mmol/L,the matching rate was 57％,the difference among 3 groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).When Youden index was 0.409 and MAGE was less than 3.745 mmol/L,the match rate was more than 75％.When Youden index was 0.369 and MBG was less than 8.38 mmol/L,the matching rate was more than 75％.The correlation coefficients of all day,fasting,postprandial and nighttime probe values and the corresponding interphalangeal glucose values were 0.958,0.963,0.944,and 0.965 (all P＜0.01).Conclusions The probe values show good consistency with the interphalangeal glucose values,are able to be used for blood glucose assessment.Blood glucose fluctuations influences accuracy of RT-CGM,the smaller the blood glucose fluctuations,the smaller the mean glucose concentration,the smaller the effective blood glucose fluctuations in frequency,the higher would be the accuracy.It seems to be more effective to do calibration during fasting and nighttime.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous closure for muscular ventricular septal defect(MVSD).Methods Fifty-one patients diagnosed as MVSD from October 2011 to July 2016 at Guangdong General Hospital were enrolled including 32 males and 19 females,ranging from 1 to 16 (5.12 ±3.52) years in age,weight (20.19 ± 10.55) kg.The diameter of the MVSD was (4.82 ± 2.51) mm which was measured by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE),and multiple defects were found in 10 patients.The choice of plugging device and transport system depended on the size,position and status of MVSD.TTE and left ventricular (LV) angiography were performed before and after release of the device to evaluate the therapeutic effects.Electrocardiogram and TTE were performed during follow-up period at 24 h,1 month,3 months,6 months and 12 months after operation and yearly thereafter.Results Eight cases showed no hemodynamic significance through standard catheter examination then the interventional therapy was stopped.Cardiac arrest was found in 1 case when the long sheath was transported along the track,and the procedure was terminated immediately,and the selective surgical operation was performed after successful rescue.The devices were successfully placed in the rest of 42 patients (97.6％) with operation time (90.68 ± 36.42) min and fluoroscopy time (18.67 ± 10.89) min.The average of follow-up time was (13.82 ± 13.84) months ranging from 1 to 48 months.It was found that mild residual shunts showed in 4 cases during operation,mild tricuspid regurgitation showed in 2 cases and trivial aortic regurgitation showed in 1 case at 6 months after operation,but there was no need to intervene anymore.Conclusions Percutaneous closure of MVSD in children is safe and effective with high successful rate and low incidence of complication.The middle-term follow-up findings were satisfactory.

Objective To explore the value of endothelial dysfunction assessment in predicating major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods A prospective cohort study included 136 end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients from Jan 1,2009 to Dec 31,2011 was conducted.Endothelial function was assessed by flowmediated dilation (FMD) of brachial artery.Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival rate.The survival difference between the two groups was compared by the log-rank test.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression was used to determine the independent risk factors of MACCE.Results In the follow-up period,18 patients in low FMD (FMD≤2.7％) group occurred MACCE,and 13 patients in high FMD (FMD ＞ 2.7％) group occurred MACCE.Compared with high FMD group,MACCE-free survival rate in the low FMD group had a significantly decreased (x2=4.190,P=0.041).Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that higher level of total cholesterol,lower FMD,longer PD time and higher levels of hs-CRP were all independent predictors of MACCE.Conclusion Reduced brachial artery FMD is an independent risk factor of MACCE,and the application of FMD contributes to the risk stratification of cardiac and cerebrovascular disease in PD patients.

Objective To explore the tobacco control project based health education curriculum reform's effect of improving medical students' tobacco control.Method Choosing the students of two classes of students in preventive medicine specialty of Harbin Medical University as the research object, investigating the students respectively with the questionnaire prepared uniformly by 7 schools before and after the course.All data were coded by Epidata 3.0, and SPSS 18.0 was used to carry out the relevant information for the chi square test and t test.Result The sample size of baseline survey was114 and after the intervention was 87.The knowledge pass rate of the girls before and after the intervention were 87.3％ (48/55) and 98.2％ (54/55) respectively (P=0.000).The boys' awareness rate of the secondhand smoke safety level were 13.6％ (8/59) and 21.9％ (7/32) respectively, and the girls were 13.0％ (7/55) and 31.5％ (17/55) (P=0.021).Students interested in tobacco increased from 79.8％ (91/114) before intervention to 90.8％ (79/87) after intervention (P=0.033).Students willing to work in the tobacco related increased from 52.2％(59/114) before intervention to 66.7％ (58/87)after intervention (P=0.044).The girl who replied after intervention I am not smoking now, but won't smoke either when working in the disease control in the future reached as high as 96.4％ (53/55), but the students were lack of confidence to help people to stop smoking.Conclusion The reform of social practice activity curriculum designed for tobacco control project is effective, and it is urgent to strengthen the training of preventive medical students' smoking cessation skills and enhance their confidence.
