Objective To explore the value and criteria for primary tumor resection in patients with stage Ⅳ rectal cancer. Methods The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed for 53 patients with stage Ⅳ rectal cancer undergoing primary tumor resection. Results All patients were graded according to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance as status 1. Seventeen of 53 patients (32%) received palliative resection. Thirty-six patients received adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. The median follow-up was 14 months. Forty-seven patients had complete resolution of their symptoms related to the primary rectal cancer for a year. The median survival was 16 months and 2-year overall survival of 24.5%. On multivariate analysis, chemotherapy was a determinant of prolonged survival (P=0.046). Conclusions Resection of primary tumor in patients with stage Ⅳ rectal cancer can improve the quality of life. Patients who have a good performance status, minimal metastatic disease and normal preoperative liver function tests should undergo resective surgery and aggresive systemic chemotherapy.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and costs of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and hematopoietic recovery after transplantation in patients with relapsed or refractory malignant lymphoma. Methods:From July 2014 to October 2016, 15 patients with malignant lymphoma using peripheral blood stem cell mobilization (PBSCM) for autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) were treated in our institution and enrolled in the PEG-rhG-CSF group (experimental group). We analyzed data from other 15 patients with malignant lymphoma mobilized with G-CSF who were treated in our institution from January 2013 to August 2015 (control group). Results:Patients in both groups were successfully mobilized. The median amounts of CD34+cells collected in the experimental and control groups were 16.2×106/kg and 8.9×106/kg, respectively (P=0.414), and the median amount of mononuclear cell (MNC) was 12.4×108/kg and 9.9× 108/kg, respectively (P=0.519). In the experimental and control groups, the mean durations of mobilization were 10.66±1.45 and 9.33±1.83 days (P=0.234), the mean durations of neutropenia during mobilization were 4.20±2.17 and 3.80±2.04 days (P=0.608), the mean durations of absolute neutrophil count recovery after APBSCT were 10.14±1.29 and 10.93±2.69 days (P=0.327), and the mean durations of platelet recovery were 10.36±2.27 and 12.27±3.38 days (P=0.121). Mobilization and hematopoietic recovery after APBSCT were not significantly different between the two groups. The cost was lower in the experimental group than that in the control group (RMB 3,960 yuan versus RMB 11,479.3±2,401.3 yuan). Conclusion:High-dose chemotherapy combined with PEG-rhG-CSF is a promising, effective, and low-cost mobilization regimen for patients with relapsed or refractory malignant lymphoma.

Objective To construct eukaryotic expression vector encoding rat IMD gene and deliver it into rat renal tissue via ultrasound-mircobubbles. Methods IMD gene was inserted into pCDNA3.1 ( + )between Hind Ⅲ and EcoRI enzyme sites. The recombinant plasmid designated as IMD-pCDNA 3.1 wasconfirmed by restrictive enzyme digestion and sequencing. Eighteen male Wistar rats were randomized into 3groups, which were treated with no transfection, empty vector transfection and IMD transfection, respectively, in renal tissue via ultrasound-microbubbles. RT-PCR and Western blotting were applied to detect the expression level of IMD. Results Enzyme- digestion and sequencing data showed that IMD-pCDNA 3.1 was correctly constructed. The differences in ALT, AST, BUN and SCr were not significant; No obvious damage in the glomerular, tubular and interstitial was observed in all the treated groups;Compared with non-transfection group and empty vector-transfection group, IMD mRNA and protein expression in IMD transgenic renal tissue were significantly increased. Conclusion IMD-pCDNA 3.1 expression vector was successfully constructed and well expressed in rat kidney.

Objective To investigate the expressions of intermedin /adrenomeduliin 2 (IMD/AM2) and its receptor calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) in the kidney of rats after renal ischemia reperfusion injury(IRI). Methods Male Wistar rats were divided randomly into two groups: sham group and operation group. Renal IRI model was induced by clamping both renal arteries. Blood and kidney were harversted at 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h after reperfusion, respectively. Renal histological changes were semi-quantitated. Expressions of IMD and CRLR in the kidney were detected by Western blot, and the content of IMD in serum was measured by radioimmunity at 12 h, 48 h, 72 h after repeffusion. Results Kidneys of renal IRI model rats displayed significant pathologic changes, and the changes were much severer at 48 h after reperfusion. The expressions of IMD and CRLR in kidney were significantly up-regnlated at 12 h, 48 h, 72 h after renal IRI (P<0.01). The level of IMD in serum increased at 12 h, 48 h, 72 h after renal IRI (P<0.05). Conclusion The expressions of IMD and its receptor are up-regulated in the kidney after renal IRI, which may participate in the pathophysiological changes induced by renal IRI.

BACKGROUND: Random flap as a primary means of wound healing, is widely used at present, its blood circulation to establish the situation is also researched a lot, but not yet the system of random skin flap perfusion were observed and measured. In addition, the timing of pedicle division of a pedicle flap random is also a hot topic, but not yet a mature clinical testing method has been discovered to determine the best timing.OBJECTIVE: By means of laser Doppler blood perfusion imaging, this study was designed to dynamically observe random flap microcirculation, to understand the changes on random flap blood flow, and to determine the best timing of pedicle division. METHODS: A total of 18 cases were divided into traditional pedicle division group and early pedicle division group. Pedicle flap blood perfusion values were statistically measured immediately after surgery, at 3, 7,11,15, and 19 days after surgery, before division, immediately after division, and at 24 hours after pedicle division, 8-9 phases in total.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Distal blood perfusion value was increased with the time prolongation in both groups; while, the blood perfusion in various time phases was significantly different from that after surgery (P < 0.05); but, the blood perfusion was decreased immediately after surgery, which was still significantly compared with traditional pedicle division group (P< 0.05). There was no significant different in blood perfusion between early pedicle division and immediate after surgery of pedicle division (P > 0.05), but there was significant difference between 24 hours after pedicle division and immediate after surgery of pedicle division (P< 0.05). Blood perfusion values were less changed in both groups (P> 0.05). The ratio of both groups peaked before pedicle division and then gradually decreased after pedicle division. The best timing of pedicle division was the ratio of 1.2.

BACKGROUND: Pentoxifylline (PTX), as an effective drug to improve blood rheology, has been used as a vasodilator for the treatment of vascular diseases and peripheral vascular disease science 1960s. But the role of PTX on skin blood flow to improve flap survival remains still unclear. OBJECTIVE: Through the clinical application of PTX therapy, the dynamic observation of random flap to understand that the PTX can promote flap survival and improve blood circulation of flap. METHODS: A total of 39 patients (27 males and 12 females aging 7-54 years) with skin tissue defect undergoing random flap repairing were selected from Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, First Hospital of Hebei Medical University. The 39 cases were randomly divided into control group and drug group. Patients in the drug group were given intravenous injection of 250 mL PTX at day 2 after random flap operation, once a day, until 14 days after flap repairing surgery. On the first day after flap pedicle surgery, 250 mL PTX sodium chloride injection was intravenously given, once a day, until 7 days after flap pedicle surgery. The control group was not given PTX treatment. The value of blood perfusion (PU) was measured using laser-Doppler blood reperfusion image after flap transplantation, before and after pedicle division. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All 39 patients were completely cured and discharged, with no interruption experiments. Before pedicle division, PU value at distal flap in both drug and control groups were increased obviously, and the PU value in the drug group was significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05); after pedicle division, the PU value in the two groups were decreased, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Prior to pedicle division, the PU value of pedicle was gradually decreased and then increased in the drug group, and that in the control group was gradually increased. On the seventh day, the PU value of pedicle was stable in the drug group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P> 0.05); after pedicle division immediately, the PU values of pedicle were decreased in the two groups, and then the increase in the drug group was remarkable compared to control group (P < 0.05). Two sets of random flaps all survived, and skin defects were successfully repaired after pedicle division. PTX can markedly increase blood perfusion after random flap transplantation, promote flap survival and pedicle division in an early stage, and effectively shorten the healing time.
