Objective To investigate the clinical effect of tension-free hernia repair in the treatment of inguinal hernia combined with ascites.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinical data of 81 inguinal hernia patients with ascites who were admitted to the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2008 to June 2014 were collected.Patients with peritoneal effusion received restriction of sodium in take and diuretic therapy,and patients with severe hypoproteinemia received intravenous injection of albumin.All the patients underwent tension-free hernia repair (Gilbert way).Observation indicators:(1) surgical and postoperative situations:operation time,diameter of hernia ring,defect area of hernia,postoperative plasma drainage,removal time of plasma drainage-tube,postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay;(2) follow-up situation:recurrence and long-term complications of inguinal hernia.Follow-up using telephone interview,outpatient examination and inpatient examination was performed to detect the hernia recurrence and long-term complications for 24 months up to June 2016.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.Results (1) Surgical and postoperative situations:81 inguinal hernia patients with ascites underwent successful tension-free hernia repair.The operation time,diameter of hernia ring and defect area of hernia were respectively (46± 19) minutes,(3.1-± 0.7) cm and (25 ± 13) cm2.Sixty-five patients received indwelling plasma drainage-tube after repair,volume of light bloodstained fluid was respectively ≥ 100 mL in 39 patients and ＜ 100 mL in 26 patients at 24 hours postoperatively,with a removal time of plasma drainage-tube of (3.2± 1.0)days.Sixteen patients didn't receive indwelling plasma drainage-tube.Of 81 patients,9 and 4 were respectively complicated with mild seroma of incision and scrotal swelling,they were improved and then out of hospital after adequate drainage,with a duration of hospital stay (6.7-± 1.7)days.(2) Follow-up situation:of 81 patients,76 were followed up for 24 months,without recurrence and related complications of inguinal hernia.Conclusion The tension-free hernia repair in the treatment of inguinal hernia combined with ascites is safe and feasible,with good clinical effects.

Objective To evaluate the clinical and pathological characteristics and risk factors of the prognosis of Cardia cancer.Methods Clinical data of 52 cases of cardiac cancer patients who were treated by surgery and follow-up data were collected from June 2009 to August 2011.Factors influencing the prognosis of the patients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis.Results The survival rates in 1,2,3years were 73％,54％,46％.Single factor analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between T stage,N stage,TNM stage,classification Siewert,MSLN and venous invasion.Stepwise Cox proportional hazard model showed that T stage,N stage and MSLN were independent risk factors.Peritoneal and liver were the main way of recurrence and metastasis.Peritoneal metastasis was related to T stage and lymph node invasion,while the liver metastasis was related to MSLN.The survival curves of patients with Kaplan-Meier showed that the survival period of patients with liver metastasis and peritoneal metastasis was significantly shortened.Conclusion Standardization of lymph node cleaning is a key factor affecting prognosis,D2 surgery should be an operation standard in cardia cancer.

The vascular non-inflammatory molecule(VNN)family has three members:Vanin-1,Vanin-2 and Vanin-3,which are distributed in different tissues of the body and have pro-inflammatory,oxidative stress and cell migration functions.In this paper,we summarize the characteristics and functions of the Vanin gene family in recent years,as well as its mechanism of action in the occurrence and development of clinically relevant diseases and its potential research value in tumors,with the aim of providing reference for clinical and basic research.
