Objective To investigate the influence of fast track surgery (FTS) on insulin resistance indexes and inflammatory reaction in colorectal cancer patients who received laparoscopic surgery.Methods A total of 62 patients were randomly divided into control group (n=31) or FTS group (n=31).The postoperative first flatus and defecation time, postoperative hospital stay, hospitalization expenditure, and postoperative complications were recorded.Insulin resistance indexes and inflammatory reaction were measured before operation (T0) as well as on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th postoperative days (T1, T3, and T7), including fasting blood-glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), serum level of interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α).The insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was calculated at the same time points.Results The postoperative time of flatus and defecation in the FTS group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (t=3.088, P=0.003;t=4.227, P=0.000), the postoperative hospital stay and total hospitalization expenditure were significantly lower in FTS group (t=3.937, P=0.000;t=3.478, P=0.003).No significant difference was found in the complication rate between the two groups (χ2=0.267,P=0.605).The inflammatory indexes and insulin resistance indexes in the two groups at T1 and T3 time points were higher than those at T0 time points (P<0.05).Compared to the FTS group at T1 and T3 time points, the levels of IL-6, CRP, TNF-α, FINS, and HOMA-IR in the control group increased more obviously (P<0.05), but the elevation blood FBG was not obvious (T1: t=0.870, P=0.388;T3: t=0.870, P=0.388).There were no significant differences in IL-6 and TNF-α in the two groups between the T7 and T0 time points (P>0.05), but the levels of CRP, FBG, FINS, and HOMA-IR at T7 time points were significantly higher than those at the T0 time points in the two groups (P<0.05).The levels of IL-6, TNF-α, FBG, FINS, and HOMA-IR at T7 had no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05), but the level of CRP in the control group was significantly higher than that in the FTS group (t=-4.527, P=0.000).Conclusion FTS may promote the early recovery of gastrointestinal functions, reduce stress reactions and postoperative insulin levels, thus being conducive to fast rehabilitation in colorectal cancer patients with laparoscopic surgery.

No. Ⅱ fluorocarbon blood substitute in divided doses was infused into the rats in a 12-day-period. Pathomorphological changes of the various organs of the animals were observed dynamically in the first year after the completion of the infusion. Fluorocarbon particles mainly accumulated in the organs with abundant reticulo-endothelial tissue particularly the liver and spleen. The changes of the weight of the liver and spleen and the existence of foam cells could be considered as the criteria to indicate the severity of the accumulation. It was found that at the end of the first year after the completion of No. Ⅱ fluorocarbon blood substhue infusion, the liver and spleen essentially resumed their normal weight but a small number of foam cells still existed, However, accumulated fluorocarbon particles exerted no harmful effects on the functions and structures of the organs observed.

Objective:To investigate the effect of pelvic rotation around coronal axis on the placement angle of acetabular prosthesis after total hip arthroplasty.Methods:According to Murary's definition, the angle between the acetabular axis and the sagittal plane was defined as the acetabular abduction angle, and the angle between the acetabular axis and the coronal plane as the anterior inclination angle. A simple mathematical solid geometry model was established by using the mathematical software GeoGebra to simulate the dynamic changes of the acetabular prosthesis when it rotated around the coronal axis, and the calculation formula of the dynamic changes of the anterior inclination and abduction angle of the acetabular prosthesis was derived. MatLab software was used to generate the function graph of pelvis forward inclination and abduction angle and deduce the motion of acetabular prosthesis.Results:The dynamic changes of acetabular tilt angle and abduction angle when the pelvis rotated around the coronal axis were functionally related to the anterior-posterior tilt of the pelvis in a nonlinear pattern. When the pelvis rotates around the coronary axis, the anterior inclination angle formula is α 1=arcsin (sinβ 1×cosα×cosθ+cosβ 1×sinα); When the acetabulum axis faces downwards the abduction angle formula is θ 1=arccot (cosβ 1×cotθ-sinβ 1×tanα/sinθ); When the acetabulum axis faces upwards the abduction angle formula is θ 1=π-abs[arccot (cosβ 1×cotθ-sinβ 1×tanα/sinθ)] withα being the initial acetabular forward angle, θ being the initial acetabular abduction angle, α 1 being the forward angle of the acetabular prosthesis after pelvic rotation, θ 1 being the external expansion angle of the acetabular prosthesis after pelvic rotation and β 1 being the rotation angle of the pelvis around the coronal axis. When the pelvis is tilted backward, the anterior inclination angle of the acetabular prosthesis increases first and then decreases, and the abduction angle continues to increase. When the pelvis is tilted forward, the abduction angle decreases first and then increases, and the anterior inclination angle continues to decrease to negative. Conclusion:When the initial anterior inclination angle and abduction angle of acetabular prosthesis change, the curve of anterior inclination and abduction angle change accordingly. The larger the initial anterior inclination angle is, the faster it reaches its peak value, and the larger the peak value is, the faster the abduction angle changes. The larger the initial abduction angle is, the slower the initial anterior inclination angle and the abduction angle change.
