Objective To study lymph node metastasis in early gastric carcinoma. Methods From July 2001 to July 2007, 177 patients with early gastric carcinoma underwent radical gastrectomy and the clinicopathologic data were analyzed by binary logistic regression. Results The overall rate of lymph node metastasis in early gastric carcinoma was 13%, involving 13% and 3% in level I (NI) and level Ⅱlymph nodes (N2), respectively. The rate of lymph node metastasis was 22%(20/89) in cases of submucosal lesion (SM), which was significantly higher than 3%(3/88) in cases of mucosal lesion (M) (X2=14. 222, P<0.01). The rate of lymph node metastasis was 3%(4/117) when the primary tumor was ≤2cmin diameter compared with 32%(19/60) when the tumor was >2cm (X2=27.992, P<0.01). The lymph node metastasis rate was 4%(3/81) and 21%(20/96) in differentiated and undifferentiated lesion (X2=11.402, P=0.001), and it was 33%(2/6)、8%(7/99) and 19% (14/92) in macroscopic type I, Ⅱ and Ⅲ (X2=8.172, P=0.014). Binarylogistic analysis found that the tumour diameter greater than 2.0cm (OR=8.408, P<0.01), infiltration of the submucosal layer (OR=5.926, P=0.009) and undifferentiated lesion (OR=4.880, P=0.020) were the independent risk factors. Conclusion Lymph node metastasis in early gastric carcinoma is significantly cantingent on the depth of infiltration, tumor size and histological type.

Objective To compare different dose of remifentanil combined with propofol for painless abortion and approach to an appropriate dose of remifentanil.Methods Ninety pregnant women with ASA 1 were randomly divided into three groups(n=30)before administrating remifetanil,a bolus midazolam 1 mg was injected inminutes later.These two drugs did not stop administration until three minutes before the end of negative suction.MAP,HR,SpO2,BIS,RR,VT,PET CO2 were monitored.The onset,operation and recovery time,sedation score and adverse reaction were recorded.Results Sedation scores were significantly different between group A and C [(3.90±0.97)and(4.90±0.85),t=4.24,P＜0.01].Three cases in group A were found moving.MAP,HR,BIS decreased as compared witll baseline.HR reduced significantly in group C(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Respiratory movement was lower and shallower.RR,VT decreased compared to preoperative one.PET C02 increased gradually (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).There were two cases of respiratory depressing in group A,four cases in group B and ten cases in group C(five cases apnea more than three minutes).All patients used oxygen mask to maintain SpO2＞95%.Incidence of adverse reactions such as chest titanic,nausea and vomiting,itching were of no difference among three groups(P＞0.05).All patients were satisfied with anesthesia.Conclusion The appropriate infusing dose of remifetory devices such as oxygen mask and monitoring life signs are very important to prevent respiratory depress and bradycardia during operation.

Objective To summarize the clinicopathological characteristics and effects of surgical treatment on gastric stump cancer.Methods With meta- analysis, clinical data of 902 gastric stump cancer patients who were treated in our hospital or were reported in literatures were included for analysis.Age, gender, pathological types, TNM stages, surgical treatment, prognosis were evaluated.Results Gastric stump cancer developed mostly in male patients (4.1∶1) , and the median age was 61 years.Incidence of gastric stump cancer after digestive tract reconstruction with Billroth- Ⅱ operative modality was higher than that with Billroth- Ⅰ (81.6% vs.17.1%).50.5% of the cancers were present at the anastomotic site, 21.7% at the gastric lesser curvature, 18.5% at the gastric cardia, and less than 10% at other places.Resection and radical resection rates were 81.3% and 62.7% , while operation combined organ resection was carried out (36.5% ).The 1-, 3-, 5- year survival rate of the patients with radical resection were significantly better than those with palliative resection, which was 77.8% vs.36.4% , 58.2% vs.9.8% and 28.9% vs.3.9% (P＜0.01) respectively.Conclusions Distal gastrectomy and Billroth Ⅱ GI tract reconstruction was the most common type of previous operation.Gastric stump cancer occurs more frequently at anastomotic site and the majority of histological types was well-differentiated adenocarcinoma.Most cases were at the advanced TNM-stage when diagnosed.Radical resection is an effective way to prolong the postoperative survival time in gastric stump cancer patients, especially in early stage.

Objective To review the experience on the surgical management for advanced gastric carcinoma with portal hypertension. Methods In this study, 14 advanced gastric carcinoma with portal hypertension patients were analyzed retrospectively, liver cirrhosis was found in 13 cases. In 10 esophageal variceal patients, 5 had upper gastrointestinal bleeding history. All of those cases were associated with different degree of hypersplenism. The tumours situated at the upper third of the stomach in 2 patients, middle and upper third in 2 and lower third in 10. Five patients underwent curative distal subtotal gastrectomy and splenectomy, 2 cases did radical distal subtotal gatrectomy and pericardial devascularizaion, 2 curative distal subtotal gastrectomy combined with splenic artery ligation,2 did total gastrectomy and pericardial devascularizaion,2 cases did radical proximal gastrectomy and pericardial devascularization and 1 patient did distal subtotal gastrectomy only. Results Three died from extensive wound bleeding, jejunal fistula and liver failure respectively. 3 patients were complicated by left subdiaphragmatic abscess, hepatic dysfunction and massive ascites individually. The morbidity and mortality rate were 42.86% and 21.43% respectively. Conclusion The surgical procedures for patients of advanced gastric carcinoma with portal hypertension caused a considerably high postoperative mortality and morbidity rate.

The real-time reported data of treated patients from July 2017 to June 2019 Nanxiang Hospital of Jiading District were collected from chest pain center platform. The results showed that the average time of completing ECG examination from the first medical contact was 1.3 to 6.9 min with a median of 1.9 min (1.7, 2.2), meeting the quality control requirements (10 min); the time required to obtain troponin test results was 13.0 to 48.4 min with a median of 14.1 min (13.4, 18.1), meeting the requirements for quality control of 20 min; time from entry to transfer out of PCI patients was 19.0-100.0 min, with median 37.2 (29.3, 66.6) min, basically reaching quality control (30 min); the entering catheter chamber rate of STEMI patients was 50.0% to 100.0% with a median of 100.0% (73.3%, 100.0%), meeting the requirements of quality control (≥50%). Through the active construction, the main quality control indicators were well reached, the reported cases were basically stable, and the disease distribution was basically reasonable in the primary-level chest pain centers. Informed notification of transshipment and subsequent management of low-risk chest pain patients need to be further strengthened. It is suggested that the construction of chest pain centers should establish long-term normal working mechanism, strengthening the control of key quality control indicators, to play the important role of the regional treatment system.

Objective To explore the expression of Livin and Beclin1 in epithelial ovarian cancer and their relations with tumor invasion and metastasis. Methods A total of 65 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who were admitted and treated in our hospital and Jilin University Affiliated Hospital, plus 15 blocks of normal ovarian tissue samples were selected. Excised ovarian tissues were tested via immunohistochemistry to test the protein expression of Livin and Beclin1, and their relations with tissue differentiation of ovarian cancer, lymphatic metastasis and clinical staging were analyzed. Results Positive rate of expression of Livin, rare expression in normal ovarian tissues (6.7%), and the highest expression rate in tissues of ovarian cancer (68.6%);Positive rate of expression of Beclin1,the highest expression rate in normal ovarian tissues (93.3%) and the lowest in tissues of ovarian cancer (37.1%). Tissue differentiation of ovarian cancer, lymphatic metastasis and clinical staging were interrelated with the expression degree of Livin and Beclin1 (P<0.05). Conclusion Expression of Livin and Beclin1 in epithelial ovarian cancer and tumor invasion and metastasis plays an important role and may become a new target in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Objective:To compare the efficacy between metallic screw fixation and absorbable screw fixation after open reduction in the treatment of adolescent distal tibial epiphyseal fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 82 patients with closed distal tibial epiphyseal fracture who had been admitted to Department of Pediatric Orthopedics, Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University from January 2013 to December 2020. There were 61 males and 21 females (aged from 8 to 15 years), and 39 left sides and 43 right sides. The Salter-Harris classification: type Ⅱ in 25 cases, type Ⅲ in 8 cases, and type Ⅳ in 49 cases. They were divided into 2 groups according to different internal fixation methods. Group A (42 cases) was subjected to open reduction and metallic screw fixation and group B (40 cases) to open reduction and absorbable screw fixation. Preoperative data, operation time, total treatment cost and complications during follow-up were recorded and compared between the 2 groups. In both groups at the last follow-up, anteroposterior and lateral ankle radiographs were taken for radiographic evaluation of the injury to the distal tibial epiphysis and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score was used to assess the ankle function.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there were no significant differences in all their preoperative demographic data ( P>0.05). Group A was followed up for 18.0(16.0, 21.3) months while group B for 16.0(13.0, 20.0) months. The treatment cost for group A [27, 000 (25, 000, 33, 000) Yuan] was significantly higher than that for group B [23, 000 (19, 000, 27, 000) Yuan] ( P<0.05). The operation time was (112.4±34.3) min for group A and (101.0±41.1) min for group B, showing no significant difference ( P>0.05). The lateral distal tibial angle was 89.5 (88.0, 91.0)° on the affected side and 89.7°±1.8° on the unaffected sides in group A; it was 90.0 (88.3, 90.8)° on the affected side and 89.5°±1.8° on the unaffected side in group B. The anterior distal tibial angle was 81.9°±1.8° on the affected side and 81.8°±1.5° on the unaffected side in group A; it was 82.0 (81.0, 83.0)° on the affected side and 82.1°±2.2° on the unaffected side in group B. There was no significant difference in the above comparisons at the last follow-up in radiographic evaluation of the distal ankle joint between the affected and the unaffected sides in either group or between groups( P>0.05). There was a significant difference between the 2 groups in the rate of superficial skin infection [11.9% (5/42) versus 0% (0/40)] ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the incidence of premature physeal closure between the 2 groups [11.9% (5/42) versus 5.0% (2/40)] ( P>0.05). The last follow-up revealed no significant difference in the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score between group A [(90.6±4.9) points] and group B [(92.1±4.6) points] ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In the treatment of adolescent distal tibial epiphyseal fractures, compared with metallic screw fixation, absorbable screw fixation may lead to comparable efficacy in fixation, functional recovery and imaging evaluation, but no increased risk of premature physeal closure. Moreover, it spares the need for secondary surgical removal, and reduces operation time and treatment cost.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and surgical effectiveness of the primary retroperitoneal teratoma in infants.Methods The records of 36 patients were retrospectively reviewed who were diagnosed as primary retroperitoneal teratoma and treated at the Department of Pediatric Oncology,Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between August 2015 and August 2017.The related data were collected,including gender,age,operation time,operational bleeding and tumor weight.All patients took the ultrasound,computed tomography (CT) before surgery,alpha-fetal protein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG) were detected during peri-operation period.All cases were classified into 0 to Ⅲ grades according to the Norris classification (27 patients of 0 grade,1 patient of Ⅰ grade,4 patients of Ⅱ grade,4 patients of Ⅲ grade).Results There were 9 males and 27 females in the study.All patients were treated surgically at the age of 11.4 months (7 days-7 years) on the average;the mean weight of incised tumor was 736.47 g (7.90-2 355.00 g);operation time was 2.88 hours (1.08-7.06 hours);the amount of bleeding during operation was 29.11 mL (2-150 mL).All patients received follow-ups for 6.56 months (9 days-23 months) on the average.Radiographs found that tumors in 25 patients (69.4％) were located in the left side of the abdominal cavity,and the rest of them were located in the right side.In addition,tumors in 30 patients (83.3 ％) were big enough to pass across the mid-line of the body.Average pre-operation AFP was 7 593.1 μg/L(1.7-80 000.0 μg/L),post-operation AFP was 1 339.5 μg/L(1.4-16 519.6 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001);pre-operation AFP of the mature group was 5 439.6 μg/L(1.7-80 000.0 μg/L),post-operation AFP of the mature group was 1 130.6 μg/L(1.4-16 519.6 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001);pre-operation AFP of the immature group [11 182.3 μg/L(17.4-80 000.0 μg/L)] was higher than that of the mature group,and the difference was statistically significant(P =0.006).On the final follow-up,AFP was mean 38.3 μg/L (1.4-352.4 μg/L);among them,AFP of the mature group was mean 14.3 μg/L (1.4-43.3 μg/L),the immature group was 78.4 μg/L(1.7-325.4 μ g/L),and the difference was statistically significant(P =0.028);AFP of 4 patients in the immature group who underwent chemotherapy was 54.9 μg/L (2.6-116.6 μg/L)on the average,lower than those of post-operation AFP of 265.2 μg/L (206.8-384.1 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.042).All patients were treated surgically,and 3 cases of them received laparoscope technique;no significant relationship was proved between time of surgery and the tumor weight,location,and Norris classification(all P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rate of the surgical complications was 42.1％,such as tumor rupture (6 patients),vascular injury (5 patients),digestive tract damage (4 patients) and incomplete incision (1 patient).There was no death case in the serials.Conclusions Primary retroperitoneal teratoma can be completely incised.However,the complications of surgery could appear in many cases.As a predictive index for the recurrence retroperitoneal teratoma,AFP can be diminished by chemotherapy following the surgery.
