Objective To discover the features of biliary obstruction in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic ERCP in the management of such patients. Methods Two hundred and ninety two patients (male 234 and female 58) suffering from HCC with obstructive jaundice underwent 358 times of ERCPs between May 2000 and March 2003. The mean (SD) age and mean (SD) total serum bilirubin of these patients were 51. 9 ?10. 6 yrs and 232 ? 158?mol/L respectively. The profiles of cholangiographic changes were recorded. Two hundred and sixty cases received treatment under endosco-py. Then therapeutic techniques including sphinclerotomy and debris removal, naso-biliary drainage, plastic or metal stent placement or several procedures in combination were given to all patients except 32 cases in far advanced condition. The body temperature, amount of bile drained and changes in liver function test were observed within two weeks post-procedure and based on these data the therapeutic effectiveness was evaluated. Results According to the features of radiographic finding, five types of biliary obstruction were classified as: type Ⅰ - intrahepatic stricture or occlusion (5.9%); type Ⅱ - perihilar stricture or occlusion (19. 0% ) ; type Ⅲ - extrahepatic stricture or occlusion (18. 4% ) ; type Ⅳ - hilar intraductal tumor em-bolus (49. 4% ) ; and type Ⅴ - intraductal floating tumor debris (7. 3% ) . In 267 patients/times under follow-up, the symptomatic jaundice was improved in 82. 0% of the patients with significant reduction of serum bilirubin in 65. 5%. Conclusion ERCP plays an important role in both diagnosis and palliative management of the HCC patients with obstructive jaundice.

Objective:To investigate the effect and the mechanism of Apigenin on lipopolysaccharides ( LPS )-induced inflammatory mediators production in murine macrophages. Methods:The murine macrophage cell line RAW 264. 7 cells were cultured in vitro,and were treated with different concentration of Apigenin followed by LPS administration. Expression of heme oxygenase-1 ( HO-1),cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS),phosphorylation of p38 and IκB,nuclear translocation of Nrf2 were detected by Western blot. Production of Nitrite and nitrate ( NOx) was analyzed by colorimetric technique. Secretion of prosta-glandin E2 (PGE2) was detected by ELISA. Activation of NF-κB was measured by luciferase assay. Results: Western blot indicated that apigenin could induce RAW 264. 7 cells expression of HO-1, and pretreatment of SB203580, an inhibitor of p38 significantly inhibited apigenin induced HO-1 expression. In addition,Apigenin could also decrease the content of nuclear transcription factor Nrf2 in cytoplasm and increase its level in the nucleus. Silencing of Nrf2 by specific siRNA could inhibit apigenin-induced HO-1 expression. Furthermore,apigenin administration significantly inhibited LPS-induced NOx production and PGE2 secretion, COX-2 and iNOS expression,IκB phosphorylation and NF-κB activation,and transfection of HO-1 siRNA could reverse these actions. Conclusion:Apigenin inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory response through induction of HO-1 and inhibition of NF-κB in macrophages.

Objective To analyze the effect of different postoperative nutrition:enteral nutrition( EN) and parenteral nutrition( PN) in patients with colorectal cancer. Methods 84 patients with colorectal cancer were collected in this study from Jan. 2012 to Jan. 2014, and they were divided into the EN group (43 cases) and the PN group (41 cases). They were given EN or PN after operation. The nutritional parameters such as ALB, TF and PA were detected before surgery and 7 days after operation, Observe the adverse reaction, time of gastroin-testinal function recovery, infection and costs after operation. Results There was no statistical difference (P>0. 05) in the nutritional pa-rameters and rate of adverse reaction between the two groups. The rate of infection in EN group was lower than that in PN group(P<0. 01), and the time of gastrointestinal function recovery was shorter in EN group compared with that in PN group (P<0. 01). Conclusion EN is better in recovery of gastrointestinal function, and there is less complication compared to PN. EN have clinical application value for patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
