Objective:To retrospectively analyze the clinical features of intestinal tract metastatic tumors of ovarian cancer,and estimate the feasibility of resection and its relation to prognosis.Methods:64 patients with ovarian cancer associated with intestinal tract metastasis were brought into this clinical analysis.The extent of intestinal tract involvement was evaluated preoperatively.Cytoreduction was defined as the residual lesion less than 1 cm3,at the same time pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy and/or biopsy were implied.Intestinal surgery included tumor stripping surgery and/or intestinal repair,intestinal resection or colostomy.Regular chemotherapy was administrated,postoperative complications as well as prognosis were evaluated.Results:54 cases (84.8%) had rectum/sigmoid colon metastasis,metatsis in other parts of colon were 26 cases,small intestinal metastasis were 18 cases,infiltration of serosal and superficial muscular layer were 47 cases,17 cases had deep muscular layer and mucosal infiltration.Epithelial cancer which had invaded intestinal mucosa were 4 cases (7.7%) ,no invading to intestinal mucosa was detected in germnoma.All the 64 patients were recepted surgical treatment,including tumor stripping surgery in 44 cases,intestinal resection in 20 cases,sigmoidal and rectal resection in 14 cases,and colonost omy in 6 cases.The optical cytoreduction was[FK(WB00018。142mmZQ1mm]achieved in 56 cases (87.5%),and post-chemotherpy regression rate was 58.9%,but the post-chemotherpy regression rate was only 12.5% in 8 patients who got partial resection;regular chemotherapy was finished in 49 cases,and the regression rate was 65.3%,but the regression rate was only 15.4% in those who couldn’t finish regular chemotherapy.Postoperative morbidity was 26.6%,and two patients died of postoperative peritonitis.Conclusion:Intestinal tract is the common metastatic site of ovarian cancer,tumor stripping and intestinal resection are not only feasible but also prerequisite for optimal cytoreduction,postoperative regular chemotherapy can improve prognosis of ovarian cancer.

Objective: To discuss the predictive value of liver and spleen stiffness detected by transientelasticity imaging technology on esophageal varices bleeding (EVB) of patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis. Methods: 100 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis (18 cases were no EV, 30 cases were mild EV, 28 cases were moderate EV and 24 cases were severe EV) were selected. In these patients, 52 cases were no bleeding, 28 cases were single hemorrhage and 20 cases were multiple hemorrhage. As the Child-Pugh grading, there were 34 cases were A grade, 30 cases were B grade and 36 cases were C grade. All of the liver and spleen stiffness of these patients were detected by instantaneous elasticity imaging technology, and to compare different Child-Pugh grading of patients, different EV degree, and liver and spleen stiffness on different EVB situation. Results: The liver and spleen stiffness of patients in Child-Pugh C stage were significantly higher than that in Child-Pugh A stage and B stage, respectively (t=21.13, t=12.04, t=11.24, t=9.741; P<0.05). With the aggravating of the severe degree of EV, the liver and spleen stiffness were significant increasing, and there were significant differences between different EV degree patients for liver stiffness and spleen stiffness, respectively (F=7.494, F=8.129, P<0.05). The liver and spleen stiffness of multiple hemorrhage group were significant higher than that of no-hemorrhage group and single hemorrhage group, respectively (t=13.13, t=18.14, t=12.15, t=17.46; P<0.05). Conclusion: By using instantaneous elasticity imaging technology to detect liver and spleen stiffness can predict EVB of patient with hepatitis B cirrhosis and it has higher clinical value, therefore, it is a sophisticated noninvasive examination with simple operation and better repeatability.

BACKGROUND:Buccal Multiloop Removable Appliance can interceptively correct mutiple adolescent malocclusions. But the clinical problem of Buccal Multiloop fatigue fracture is not solved yet. How to prolong the fatigue fracture cycle is stil in the research stage. OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of different temperature of heat treatment on the Buccal Multiloop fatigue fracture cycle, thereby to select a relatively optimal method to enhance the fatigue fracture cycle. METHODS: Thirty-five left HL-2 Buccal Mltiloops were divided into seven groups according to different ways of heat treatment. Each group consisted of five samples. They were an untreated group, three pre-bending groups (320, 420, 520℃ heat treatment before bending) and three post-bending groups (320, 420, 520℃ heat treatment after bending). The dental stainless steel wires and Buccal Multiloop were respectively treated by low-temperature annealing. The data were recorded and evaluated after the samples tested by the 3D Simulating Movement of TMJ Testing Machine. The features of fatigue fracture were observed by scanning electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The mean values of the Buccal Multiloop fatigue fracture cycle from largest to smalest were as folows: 520℃ pre-bending group > 420℃ pre-bending group > 320℃ pre-bending group > untreated group > 520℃ post-bending group > 320℃ post-bending group > 420℃ post-bending group. The fatigue fracture cycle of Buccal Multiloop made of the dental stainless steel wires after 520℃ annealing treatment was longer than others. By the observation of scanning electron microscope, the fracture crack extension area had the tendency to expand, transient interruption was delayed and the tissue structure became more uniform.

BACKGROUND:There are various therapies for children limb fractures involving the epiphysis or the metaphysis. According to the different methods, studies on the growth of the epiphyseal plate are a lot, most of which focus on the effects of Kirschner wires with different diameters or holow screw internal fixation on the development of epiphyseal plate. However, there are rare studies on the influence of cross-epiphyseal plate internal fixation on the growth of epiphyseal plate as wel as the influence level. OBJECTIVE:To prepare a peri-epiphyseal fracture model in young rabbits and to observe the effects of cross-epiphyseal plate implantation and removal on the growth of epiphyseal plate. METHODS: Traverse fracture models were made 5 mm above the right femoral distal epiphyseal plate of 60 young rabbits, and then fixed with suitable “L” steel plate and four screws across the epiphyseal plate and peri-epiphyseal fracture line. The left side served as control. Eight rabbits were kiled and observed at 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks after modeling, respectively, to take out the femoral specimens for measurement of femoral length, thickness of the epiphyseal plate, and number of mastocytes per unit column. Histopathology observation was done and changes in mastocytes and thickness of the epiphyseal plate were detected. Another seven rabbits were selected to remove the metal plate, continued to feed for 2 weeks and finaly executed to observe the above-mentioned indexes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) There were significant differences in the above indexes between the plate and control groups at 4, 8, 12 weeks after modeling (P < 0.05 orP< 0.001) but not at 2 weeks after modeling (P> 0.05). These findings indicate that within 2 weeks after cross-epiphyseal plate internal fixation, proper pressue has no remarkable influence on the growth of epiphyseal plate; but after persistent internal fixation (> 4 weeks), the growth of epiphyseal plate can be partialy or completed retarded. (2) At 2 and 4 weeks after modeling, the plate was removed, and 2 weeks later, the femoral length, thickness of the epiphyseal plate and mastocyte counting per unit column were improved to different extents, and there were no differences between the plate and control group (P > 0.05). At 8 and 12 weeks after modeling, the plate was removed, and 2 weeks later, the femoral length and thickness of the epiphyseal plate were shortened, and the number of mastocytes per unit column was decreased obviously, which significantly differed from the control group (P < 0.001). These findings indicate that the chondrocytes in the proliferative and hypertrophy layers lose the differentiation and proliferation abilities, and the femoral length and epiphyseal plate thickness are difficult to recover.

Objective To investigate the consistency of mRECIST criterion and RECIST criterion in evaluating the curative effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) which condition exceeds Milan liver transplantation standard in order to determine which criterion can evaluate the curative effect better.Methods A total of 78 PHC patients,whose lesion's extent exceeded Milan standard and who had received TACE combined with RFA therapy,were included in this study.The curative effect was separately evaluated by mRECIST criterion and RECIST criterion.KAPPA coefficient was calculated to determine the consistency of the evaluation results by the two criteria.By using Kaplan-Mier method,the median survival time (MST) of patients achieving different remission degree was calculated.Log-rank test was used to draw survival curve.The MST and the survival curve of patients with different remission degree were statistically compared between the two criteria.Results By using SPSS19.0 software,the KAPPA coefficient of the evaluation results of the two criteria was 0.243 (x2=5.250,P＜0.01).The MST of patients,which was calculated by Kaplan-Mier method,had multiple overlapping parts with SD and PR curves that were drawn by log-rank test based on RECIST criterion,the difference between the two was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).When mRECIST criterion was based on,the survival curve of patients with different remission degree was relatively balanced and showed no overlapping parts,the difference between the two was statistically significant (P＜0.01).Conclusion (1) The mRECIST criterion is not suitable for the evaluation of the curative effect of PHC patients whose lesion's extent exceeds Milan standard,and mRECIST criterion can not apply to make evaluation of the curative effect for PHC when the lesion's border is unclear and its enhancement is not obvious.(2) mRECIST criterion can more accurately evaluate the curative effect of TACE combined with PRA in treating PHC which extent exceeds Milan liver transplantation standard.

This study was aimed to investigate the changes of hemodynamic parameters, pathology and c kit mRNA expression in myocardium after acute myocardial infarctionin (AMI) in rats, and to elucidate the relationship between these three kinds of changes. Sixty six adult male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, Sham groups and ligation groups. The rat model of AMI was set up by ligating the left anterior descending artery. Hemodynamic parameters, pathological changes and c kit mRNA expression in myocardiam were examined. The results revealed that there were no statistically significant differences in hemodynamic parameters between normal group and Sham groups. Compared with the normal group, all ligation groups exhibited significantly decreased left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and +/-dp/dtmax (P<0.01), and increased left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP, P<0.01). In the other ligation groups, compared with 6th hour group after ligation, there appeared striking increase of LVSP, LVEDP and +/-dp/dtmax (P<0.05). HE staining in myocardiam showed that there are necrosis and derangement at 24th hour group after ligation ,and a great number of inflammatory cells infiltration around the infarct zone at 3rd day group after ligation, and granulation tissue infiltrated into the infarct zone at 14th day group after ligation. In all five time points groups after ligation, the levels of c-kit mRNA expression were 0.99 fold, 1.06 fold, 1.46 fold, 1.91 fold and 2.67 fold, respectively, compared with Sham groups. The results suggest that cardiac stem cells in myocardium might contribute to the role of regenerating myocardium via self proliferation after acute myocardial infarction, but further investigation is still needed.

Objective To discuss the safety and clinical efficacy of modified traction method using endoloop and clip for endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD).Methods Fifty patients who underwent ESD at Renmin Hosptial of Wuhan University between August 2016 and February 2017 were randomly divided into two groups, including 25 patients in modified ESD group and 25 patients in conventional ESD group as control. The therapeutic conditions, dissection time and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results In the modified ESD group, the dissection time of submucosal exposure to the full dissection (19. 9±6. 5 min VS 26. 4±9. 2 min, P＝0. 001), total dissection time (27. 5±8. 1 min VS 35. 1± 10. 7 min, P＝0. 003), and dissection time per unit area (2. 4±1. 1 min/cm2VS 3. 3±1. 3 min/cm2, P＝0. 009) were significantly shorter compared with those in the control group. There were 1 case of delayed bleeding in the modified group and 2 cases in the control group with no significant difference ( P＝0. 248). No perforation occurred. Conclusion The modified traction method using endoloop and clip for ESD is safe and effective with a shorter operation time.
