Objective To study the method and clinical value of preservation of intercostobrachial nerve( ICBN) by fat dissolving meth-od during breast cancer operation. Methods The clinical data of 50 cases withⅠ~Ⅲa stage breast cancer from January 2013 to June 2013 were analyzed. Fifty patients were randomly divided into two groups,there were 26 patients in preservation group,whose ICBN were preserved by fat dissolving method during axillary lymph nodes dissection,and 24 patients in resection group,whose ICBN were not preserved by routine method during axillary lymph nodes dissection. Comparison of operation times,bleeding volume,the number of axillary lymph nodes dissection and upper arm sensory function of patients after operation between both groups was done. Results The mean time of operation was (102. 3 ± 15. 6) min in preservation group and(95. 6 ± 12. 4) min in resection group,while the number of axillary lymph nodes dissection was (19. 5 ± 8. 8 ) in preservation group and ( 19. 2 ± 9. 5 ) in resection group, with no significant difference between both groups (P>0. 05). Bleeding volume was (51. 2 ± 11. 5)mL in preservation group and (98. 5 ± 13. 4)mL in resection group,with significant differ-ences(P<0. 05). After postoperative one month,we observed upper arm sensory function of patients. It showed that 3 cases of sensory numb-ness or pain occurred in preservation group (11. 5%),20 cases of sensory abnormality occurred in resection group (83. 3%),mainly as sen-sory loss,numbness,pain or burning sensation,there was significant difference between both groups (P<0. 05). All patients were followed up half a year,patients with sensory abnormality in preservation group recovered,and recovery in resection group was not obvious,it still showed sensory abnormality in varying degrees. During the follow-up,no local recurrence or distant metastasis was found in both groups. Conclusion Preserving intercostobrachial nerve by fat dissolving method in breast cancer operation is based on conventional operation and made a few of improvements. It is simple and feasible. During the operation,we find that the axillary neurovascular is clearer,preservation of ICBN is easier. It does not affect the axillary lymph node dissection and operation time,while it can reduce incidence of postoperative sensory abnormality and improve the quality of life of patients,therefore it is worthy of clinical application.

Methods Data of 38 patients with digestive fistulas at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University admitted from July 2015 to July 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Treatments were chosen according to the size and the site of the fistulas. Thirteen patients underwent jejunal tube placement ( the jejunal tube group ) , 20 underwent endoscopic clipping( the endoscopic clipping group) , and 5 underwent OTSC( the OTSC group) . The technical success rate, clinical cure rate and postoperative hospital stay were analyzed. Results All patients received the endoscopic operation successfully with no significant complications. In the jejunal tube group, 4 patients′fistulas fully healed, lesion was smaller after treatment in 3 patients, lesion didn′t change in 5 patients, and 1 patient died. The complete cure rate was 30. 8% (4/13), and the postoperative hospital stay was 47. 4± 14. 1 days. For the endoscopic clipping group, 16 patients′ fistulas fully healed, lesion was no smaller compared with that before treatment in 3 cases, and 1 patient died. The complete cure rate was 80. 0% ( 16/20) , and the postoperative hospital stay was 17. 9 ± 8. 9 days. Total patients in the OTSC group were completely cured, with 100. 0%( 5/5) of complete cure rate. One patient with refractory esophageal fistula underwent OTSC repeatedly with endoscopic clipping, and the healing time of fistula was 102 days. The postoperative hospital stay of 4 others was 5. 3±1. 7 days. The cure rate of fistula was higher (P=0. 03, P<0. 001) and the postoperative hospital stay was shorter ( P=0. 04, P<0. 001) in the OTSC group compared with the clipping group and the jejunal tube group. Conclusion Endoscopic management is safe and effective for digestive fistulas with less trauma, easy performance and short time of healing.

Bioactive peptides play important roles in promoting human health, such as lowering blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid, anti-obesity, and anti-cancer. Thus, exploring functional bioactive peptides and developing efficient production technologies are of crucial importance. Herein, we review the development of function discovery and production technology for natural bioactive peptides. Presently, the top-down and bottom-up approaches are mainly used for the function discovery and production of natural active peptides. The top-down approach includes the direct extraction and identification for functional discovery, and the direct extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis and microbial fermentation for production. The bottom-up approach includes the polypeptide modification and database mining for functional discovery, and the chemical synthesis, enzyme synthesis, recombinant expression and cell-free synthesis for production. The top-down approach is usually associated with complicated process, lower efficiency, higher cost, harder quality control, and uncertain functionality, while the bottom-up approach is more suitable for the development of peptide drugs but difficult to be used for functional foods. With the technology development of sequencing and mass spectrometry, it is easier to obtain the proteomic information of various organisms at the molecular level. Based on the proteomic information, the top-down and bottom-up approaches can be combined to overcome the disadvantages of using these two approaches alone, thus providing a new strategy for the rapid development and production of natural active peptides.
