Objective To investigate lymph node metastases in distal gastric cancer and its clinical significance. Methods From June 2006 to December 2007, 129 distal gastric cancer patients underwent radical gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy. Dissected lymph nodes were collected in groups, and histopathological studies were performed to detect lymph node metastasis. The relationship between lymph node metastasis and tumor parameters such as diameter, location, infiltrating depth, histological category,Borrmann typing was evaluated. Results Lymph node metastases was found in 80 out of 129 patients (62%). A total of 3295 lymph nodes were harvested with an average of 25.54 lymph nodes per patient,among those 889 lymph nodes were identified with metastasis. The metastasis rate was 18.60%, 48. 84%,37. 98%, 38. 76%, 44. 19%, 31.01%, 10. 85%, 14. 73%, 4. 65%, 1.55% and 0. 78% respectively in No. 1, No. 3, No. 4d, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, No. 8a, No. 9, No. 11 p, No. 12a, No. 14v lymph node group.No. 3 and No. 6 group nodes were moat frequently invaded by metastasis. Conclusion This study provides the regular pattern of lymph node metastasis in distal gastric carcinoma patients undergoing radical gastrectomy and perigastric lymphadectomy which helps to guide lymphadectomy in terms of less trauma and favorite prognosis.

Objective]The aim of this study was to investigate the level of serum C3,C4 and HDL-C in patients with coronary heart disease and the correlation between C3,C4 and HDL-C in patients with coronary heart disease.[Methods]We collected 251 cases of patient diagnosed with coronary artery disease by coronary angiography in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital ,Sun Yat-Sen University from 2015-12 to 2016-07 and collected over our Boji Medical Center healthy people in 214 cases. These patients were divided into acute coronary syndrome group with 180 cases and stable coronary heart disease group with 71 cases. Each test results was adopted from clinical laboratory of Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital ,Sun Yat-Sen University.[Results]Compared with the healthy control ,the difference of serum C3,C4 and HDL-C from acute coronary syndrome group and stable coronary heart disease group,was statistically significant(P<0.05). However,in patients with acute coronary syndrome and stable coronary artery disease groups,there was no significant correlation(P > 0.05)between C3,C4 and HDL-C. In healthy group,complement C3 negatively correlated with HDL-C,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).[Conclusions]In patients with coronary heart disease, the level of C3 and C4 increased,while the level of HDL-C decreased ,and inflammation may affect the relevance judgments between complement and HDL-C.

Objective To analyze the application value of the rapid testing for influenza during 2007-2008 flu season at fever clinic in Beijing Chaoyang hospital Methods 500 patients with diagnosis of influenza-like illness were prospectively enrolled. Pharyngeal swabs were collected for influenza viral culture and rapid testing for influenza. Demographic characteristics, age, symptoms, lab tests, symptom recovery time and medical expense were also collected. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for rapid testing were analyzed. Results A total of 500 patients were enrolled between Dec 2007 and March 2008. Among them 498 cases were used for analysis. Influenza B was most common by virus culture methed(n=208,41.8%) ,followed by influenza A (n=51,10.2%). The average age was 35, and the ratio of male to female was 1.47:1. Compared with the group of positive culture, patients with influenza were more likely to get cough, sore throat, and nasal congestion (t=13.728, 4.014and 4.720,P<0.001 or 0.05, respectively). A total of 260 cases were subjected to rapid testing, Among them 18 cases were influenza A positive and 132 cases were influenza B positive. The rapid testing had a sensitivity of 77.1 % and a specificity of 70.1%. The positive predictive value was 78.6% and the negative predictive value was 68.2%. The rapid testing had enhanced the proportion of anti-viral treatment from 0 to 26% and reduced the proportion of antibiotic use from 63.4% to 20. 7%. Conclusions Influenza B is the most predominant pathogen during 2007-2008 flu season among patients with influenza-like illness in Beijing. The rapid testing with high sensitivity and specificity provides guidance on clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Endostar combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical drug use. METHODS: Retrieved from Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, ClinicalTrials, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP database, randomized controlled trials (RCT) about Endostar combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin(trial group) vs. gemcitabine combined with cisplatin (control group) for NSCLC were collected. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation with Cochrane 5.1.0 bias risk evaluation tool and Jadad scale, Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software. RESULTS: A total of 27 RCTs were included, involving 1 646 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that response rate [RR=1.67, 95%CI(1.48,1.89),P<0.000 01] and clinical benefit rate [RR=1.26, 95%CI (1.20, 1.33),P<0.000 01] of trial group were significantly higher than those of control group. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of leucopenia [RR=0.98,95%CI(0.88, 1.11),P=0.79], thrombocytopenia [RR=1.07, 95%CI(0.91, 1.26),P=0.39] and gastrointestinal reaction [RR=1.01, 95%CI(0.90, 1.14),P=0.85] between 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: Endostar combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin can improve therapeutic efficacy of NSCLC patients, without increasing the incidence of ADR.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) therapy is facing the challenges of long-term medication and gradual destruction of pancreatic islet β-cells. Therefore, it is timely to develop oral prolonged action formulations to improve compliance, while restoring β-cells survival and function. Herein, we designed a simple nanoparticle with enhanced oral absorption and pancreas accumulation property, which combined apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter-mediated intestinal uptake and lymphatic transportation. In this system, taurocholic acid (TCA) modified poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) was employed to achieve pancreas location, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was loaded to execute therapeutic efficacy, and 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLPC) was introduced as stabilizer together with synergist (PLGA-TCA/DLPC/HCQ). In vitro and in vivo results have proven that PLGA-TCA/DLPC/HCQ reversed the pancreatic islets damage and dysfunction, thus impeding hyperglycemia progression and restoring systemic glucose homeostasis via only once administration every day. In terms of mechanism PLGA-TCA/DLPC/HCQ ameliorated oxidative stress, remodeled the inflammatory pancreas microenvironment, and activated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway without obvious toxicity. This strategy not only provides an oral delivery platform for increasing absorption and pancreas targetability but also opens a new avenue for thorough T2DM treatment.
