Journal of China Medical University 2016;45(7):631-634
Objective To observe the application effect of fast track surgery(FTS)in the perioperative period of elderly patients with colorectal cancer. Methods A total of 153 colorectal cancer patients admitted in our hospital from March 2011 to July 2015 were chosen as the research ob?jects. Those patients were assigned to younger age group(<65 years,n=77)and older age group(≥65 years,n=76). Then,35 patients of younger age group(FTS1 group)and 37 patients of older age group(FTS2 group)were randomly selected and received FTS treatment ,and others were given traditional treatment measures(TC1 group and TC2 group). All patients underwent surgical treatment by the same experienced surgical team. The differences between the pairs of groups in different age ranges were compared with respect to the postoperative recovery index ,complica?tions,and medical costs. Results Compared with the TC1 group,the FTS1 group experienced earlier postoperative flatus,a shorter postoperative hospital stay,lower medical costs,and decreased incidence of postoperative complications(P<0.05). Compared with the TC2 group,the FTS2 group had a shorter hospital stay(P<0.05),but no significant difference in others(P>0.05). Conclusion The application of FTS can signifi?cantly improve postoperative rehabilitation,shorten hospitalization time,and decrease medical costs for<65 aged colorectal patients;However, there is no significant difference in benefits for aged patients(≥65)underwent the FTS procedure. Our results suggested that we should consider whether the FTS procedure is suitable for elderly patients with colorectal cancer cautiously.

The superoxide anion radical (Of) produced in the alkaline dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) system was directly measured by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) at low temperature. This reaction was used as a model system for generating O2-. Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilousla, Paeonia laetiflora, Angelica sincnsis and Sophora flavescens, traditional natural medicines which have the effect of delaying anility, were added into the model system to observe their intensifying or inhibiting effect on EPR signals of O2. These results suggest that these traditional natural medicines have the mostly eliminating effect on Of produced in the alkaline DMSO system.

BACKGROUND: Allergic airway inflammation (AAI) is the pathological basis of pathogenesis of asthma. Manghua decoction, from Zhang Zhongjing's "On cold damage", is the basic recipe for treating asthma, its addminus recipe is widely used in clinic now.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of mahuang decoction on allergic airway inflammation in asthmatic mouse.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation SETTING: Staff Room of Internal Medicine, Department of Clinical Medicine, Guangdong University of Pharmacy.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in the Animal Laboratory of Guangdong College of Pharmacy and Laboratory of Pathology, Guangdong University of Pharmacy from March 2003 to February 2004. Totally 36 mice were recruited.METHODS: Mice were randomly divided into normal control group, asthma group and treatment group, with 12 in each one. The mice in the control group were given intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 mL of normal saline on day 1,7,14 and 21 separately. From 28th day, the mice were given intragastric administration of normal saline of 0.5 mL for 60 minutes followed by water spray(only normal saline ) for 30 minutes , for consecutive 7 days.The mice in the asthma group were given intraperitoneal injection of normal saline of 0.2 mL containing egg albumin (10 μg) and aluminium hydroxide (20 mg) on day 1, 7, 14 and 21 separately. From 28th day, the mice were given intragastric administration of normal saline of 0.5 mL for 60 minutes followed by water spray (normal saline containing egg albumin of 50 g/L) for 30 minutes, for consecutive 7 days. Sensitization and stimulati on of the mice in the treatment group were the same as that in the asthma group. Intragastric administration of mahuang decoction of 0.5 mL was performed 60 minutes before spray. The procedure was conducted for consecutive 7 days. The pathologic change and the lung tissues expression of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) of the mice in each group were analyzed with hamatoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison of airway infiltration cells and lung tissue IFN-γand IL-4 of the mice in each group RESULTS: Totally 36 mice entered the stage of result analysis with no loss in the midway. ① Inflammation of the mice relieved obviously in the treatment group than in the asthma group, and the number of the inflammatory cells in or around bronchi of the mice was significantly less in the treatment group than in the asthma group . ② The number of IL-4 and IFN-γ was significantly increased in the asthma group than in the normal control group, among which , the number of IL-4 was more significant, and the ratio of IFN-γ / IL-4 was decreased. However, the number of IL-4 on the treatment group was significantly decreased, and that of IFN-γ was remarkably increased , and the ratio of IFN-γ / IL-4 was significantly increased as compared with that in the asthma group.CONCLUSION: Asthmatic mice might exist the disequilibrium of Th1/Th2 subgroup. Mahuang decoction can improve the inflammation of bronchus,regulate the ratio of Th1/Th2, which might be one of the mechanism for treatment of asthma.

Objective To understand the virology test characteristics of hepatitis B virus (HBV) for discuss the relation of HBV genotype and HBeAg, anti-HBc-IgM, HBV DNA and disease progression. Methods Two hundred cases of hepatitis B were detected by the ELJSA assay with two pairs of semi-markers (HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe, anti-HBc) and anti-HBc-IgM, using fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) for detecting HBV DNA, using monoclonal antibody ELISA method (mAbs ELISA) for HBV genotyping and analysis of test results. Results In 200 patients with hepatitis B, the HBV genotype detected in 179 cases (89.5%), B-type 121 cases(60.5%), C-type 58 cases (29.0% ). There had no relationship with HBeAg, anti-HBc-IgM, HBV DNA and genotype. B-type HBV prevalent in asymptomatic carriers (ASC) and chronic hepatitis B (mild);C-type common in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and chronic hepatitis B (severe). Conclusions HBV genotype in Shenzhen mainly is B-type, C-type second;mAbs ELISA assay with HBV genotype is specific, sensitive, simple and practical features, HBV replication strength has nothing to do with the virus genotype. HBV genotype and HBeAg, anti-HBc-IgM, HBV DNA testing may complement each other, with the clinical application value.
