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.

It was identified to have ability to bind to GPIb, its biologic activity to inhibit ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation was observed, and the inhibi tive rate was 84 7%. CONCLUSION: The above results indicated that high-level expressi on of rvWF-A1 was successfully achieved in E coli and rvWF-A1 may be an effectiv e antithromotic agent in preventing thrombus formation.

Objective To know the establishment of the flap pedicle blood supply and the right moment of the cutting off of pedicle by means of laser Doppler blood perfusion imaging instrument on the random flap blood flow changes.Methods 20 adult healthy rabbits were divided in to four groups and each 5 have unilateral flaps.1,3,5,7,9,12,14,18 days after operation,the pedicle blood perfusion values (PU) measurement of the distal pedicle on the flap and midpoint of both ends of the pedicle were performed,and PU values were analyzed.Results Pedicle of the PU values at the different time points changed little (P＞0.05).The PU value in the distal flap reached the minimum 1 day after operation and then increased gradually [3 d (1.24±0.07),5 d (1.57±0.15),7 d (1.79±0.08),9 d(1.89±0.13),12 d(2.01±0.16),14 d(2.18±0.09) and 18 d(2.40±0.18),P＜0.05].When distal PU values/pedicle PU value≥1.2,the flap survival rate reached 99%.Conclusions The establishment of random skin flap blood circulation,as well as the ratio of PU values of distal to the pedicle flap pedicle can be used as the timing of an important indicators.

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 ascertain the uranium concentrations and uranium isotopic ratios in drinking water in Xilingol League,the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.Methods Drinking water samples were collected in Xilingol League,the Inner Mongolia Autonomous.Region inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was applied to determine the concentration of uranium and uranium isotope abundance.Results The uranium concentrations in all samples were in the range of 2.73-18.9μg/L,with an average of 8.20 μg/L.Tbe234U/238U isotope ratio varied from 7.513 × 10-5to 3.003 × 10-4 and235U/238U from 7.196 × 10-3 to 7.391 × 10-3.The relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 0.5％ for234U/238U and 0.2％ for235 U/238U.Conclusions The uranium concentration in samples collected from Dongwuqi was high than 15 μg/L,whih is the limit given by World Health Organization (WHO).The uranium in drinking water originates from the natural environment.The234U is enriched in drinking water.

BACKGROUND:Classical deltopectoral approach leads to a great injury to soft tissues. It is difficult to lay the steel plate on the lateral side. The steel plate is frequently laid on the anterolateral side of humerus. Fixed position is not ideal.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of lateral deltoid-splitting approach in treatment of proximal humeral fractures.
METHODS:From August 2008 to August 2013, 114 patients with fracture of surgical neck of humerus, who were treated in the Department of Orthopedics, Yan’an Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University in China, were enrol ed in this study. They were treated with locking compression plate, and assigned to deltoid splitting approach group and deltopectoral approach group (n=57). Surgical trauma, fracture healing, curative effects, functional recovery and Constant shoulder score were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients were fol owed up for at least 8 months. Compared with the deltopectoral approach group, the proximal humeral fractures were healed as scheduled in the deltoid splitting approach group, and the anteflexion, abduction, shoulder lifting of the shoulder joint, and sensation of lateral skin of the upper arm were not impacted. No significant difference in Constant shoulder score was detectable between the two groups (P>0.05), which suggested that deltoid splitting approach for treating the proximal humeral fractures was safe and feasible. In addition, in accordance with the Neer’s classification system, the excellent and good rate in the deltoid splitting approach group (91%) was significantly higher than that in the deltopectoral approach group (75%) (P<0.05). Therefore, the deltoid splitting approach can be used as the first choice for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures.

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.
