BACKGROUND:Diabetes mel itus is a common complication after kidney transplantation. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the risk factors for diabetes mel itus after kidney transplantation diabetes mel itus risk factors and clinical treatment based on integrative medicine. METHODS:Literatures concerning diabetes mel itus after kidney transplantation were retrieved in the database, and the articles that met the study criteria were analyzed. In this paper, we analyzed the risk factors for diabetes mel itus and concluded the therapies for diabetes mel itus after kidney transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Diabetes mel itus after kidney transplantation is an abnormal glucose metabolism caused by multiple factors, which is related to age, body mass index, lipid levels, immunosuppressant program, frequency of acute rejections, and cumulative dose of glucocorticoid. Periodic monitoring of blood glucose after kidney transplantation contributes to the earlier detection of the occurrence of diabetes mel itus. Integrative medicines that can lower blood glucose level and immunosuppressant adjustment can be effective for the treatment of diabetes mel itus after kidney transplantation.

BACKGROUND:Drug treatment is the main method for the treatment of diabetes currently, but the development of the disease and occurrence of related complications are the chal enges to the effect of drugs. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and feasibility of co-transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and islet cells for the treatment of diabetes. METHODS:The rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were separated and purified, and cultured in vitro to establish the diabetes models. The rat diabetes models were injected with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, co-cultured mixture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and islet cells, and normal saline or phosphate buffer (control). The effect of transplantation was evaluated through observing the blood glucose levels, insulin secretion, and pathological changes of pancreatic tissue in the rat diabetes models. RESUTLS AND CONCLUSION:In the diabetes rats treated with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation, the C-peptide levels were significantly increased after transplantation, while the blood glucose levels were significantly decreased, but not lower than the normal level, and the blood glucose levels were increased again with the time prolonging. In the diabetes rats treated with co-transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and islet cells, the blood glucose levels were decreased significantly and lower than the normal level which was maintained in a certain time, and the decreasing degree was larger than that in the rats treated with simple bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation. Co-transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and islet cells is feasible for the treatment of diabetes with a certain effect.

BACKGROUND:Compound Chinese medicine is a kind of compound drugs with the combination of minerals, plants and animals, which play the multi-target integrated treatment effects in the treatment of bone metabolic disease through various methods.
OBJECTIVE:To research the effect of compound traditional Chinese medicine on the proliferation and bone mineral density of osteoblasts, and to explore the pharmacological effect of compound traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of osteoporosis.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed to analyze the effect of some compound traditional Chinese medicines on the proliferation and bone mineral density of osteoblasts that identified in the previous studies, in order to analyze the factors of compound traditional Chinese medicines that can promote the bone formation. The appropriate dose of the drugs that can promote cel proliferation and differentiation and improve the bone mineral density was screened out through the in vitro culture of osteoblasts, and then compared with the results of chemical medicines.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compound traditional Chinese medicines can promote the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and improve the bone mineral density, and have the advantages of ful treatment and less side effect in the treatment of osteoporosis. But the effect of compound traditional Chinese medicines in improving the bone mineral density is less than the chemical drugs. The long-term and large-sample clinical studies should be performed to decrease the risk of osteoporotic fracture.

Objective To report the preliminary result of cylindrical abdominoperineal resection (cylindrical APR) and pelvic reconstruction with human acellular dermal matrix (HADM). Methods Cylindrical APR was performed in 13 consecutive patients with advanced very low rectal cancer between January 2008 and April 2009. The mesorectum was not dissected off the levator muscles at abdominal part of the operation, the perineal part of the operation was done in the prone position. The levator muscles were exposed circumferentiaUy. The coccyx and part of the 5th sacrum were dissected and Waldeyer" s fascia divided. The levator muscles were divided laterally on both sides from posterior to anterior. The remaining pelvic floor muscle fibers were divided just posterior to the transverse perineal muscles and the levator muscles were resected en bloc with the anus and lower rectum. The specimen was cylindrical. The pelvic defects were reconstructed with HADM. Results There was no bowel perforation, and all specimens were proved CMR negative by pathology. Perineal wounds were healed uneventfully. After 8 months" follow-up, no patient developed perineal wound breakdown, bulge or hernia. There was 1 patient developed perineal wound infection; one patient developed seroma and three with perineal pain. Five patients with short-term urinary retention recovered within 10 days. Conclusion Clinical APR and HADM pelvic reconstruction can reduce circumferential margin positive and rectum perforation rate, and made the procedure easier and safer without increasing complications.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the feasibility and safety of curved cutter stapler in laparoscopic curve resection for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST).

METHODSA retrospective clinical study was carried out with the clinical data of 19 cases of gastric GIST, who received laparoscopic curve resection with the curved cutter stapler during the period between January 2015 and December 2015 in Department of General Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University. Curved cutter stapler was used intraoperatively to run curve resection for stomach, at least 0.5 cm away from the tumor outer margin. If the curved cutter stapler could not completely cut off the gastric wall at first time, the linear cutter stapler would be used secondly to cut off the remaining gastric wall.

RESULTSAll the cases were successfully performed under laparoscopy, without conversion to open surgery and the occurrence of severe complications. Fourteen(73.7%) patients received complete transection by the first curved cutter stapler, the other 5(26.3%) cases accepted complete transection by the second linear cutter stapler. The operative time ranged from 50 to 100(71.8±12.7) minutes, the blood loss ranged from 20 to 50 (33.6±7.4) ml, the postoperative exhaust time ranged from 1 to 4 (2.4±0.9) days, the postoperative hospital stay ranged from 5 to 9(6.8±1.1) days. There was no patient suffered from incision infection, delayed gastric emptying, anastomotic leakage and anastomotic bleeding. The postoperative pathological examination confirmed that all the cases were GIST. The tumor length ranged from 1.5 to 5.5(2.9±1.1) cm, the resection margin ranged from 0.5 to 2.0(1.2±0.4) cm and all the patients had negative resection margins. Of the 19 cases, 8(42.1%) were classified as very low risk, 5(26.3%) as low risk, 5(26.3%) as moderate risk and 1(5.3%) as high risk according to the National Institute of Health classification. Six patients with moderate and high risk were treated with imatinib. In the follow-up time of 5 to 16 months(mean 10 months) after operation, no distant metastasis and local recurrence occurred in all the cases.

CONCLUSIONThe application of curved cutter stapler in laparoscopic curve resection for GIST is safe and feasible with good short-term efficacy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic low anterior resection of rectal carcinoma with preservation of the left colic artery(LCA).

METHODSClinicopathological and follow-up data of 322 cases with rectal carcinoma undergoing laparoscopic low anterior resection in Department of General Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2007 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different surgical methods of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA), cases were divided into the trial group (LCA preservation plus lymph nodes around IMA root dissection, 168 cases) and the control group(origin of IMA ligation, 154 cases). The 5-year rates of disease-free survival(DFS) and overall survival(OS) were compared between two groups.

RESULTSThere were no statistically significant differences in the baseline data between the two groups. The follow-up rate was 91.1%(153/168) during 5-60 months in the trial group, and 90.3%(139/154) during 6-60 months in the control group. The number of patients who developed death, local recurrence and metastasis were 49(32.0%), 9(5.9%) and 62(40.5%) in the trial group, and 44(31.7%), 9(6.5%) and 52(37.4%) in the control group, respectively, without significant differences(all P>0.05). The 5-year DFS and OS rates were 57.2% and 69.5% in the trial group, and 59.7% and 70.1% in the control group, and the differences were not significant between the two groups(all P>0.05). After stratification by TNM stage, the 5-year DFS rates of I( stage, II( stage and III( stage were 80.4%, 62.5% and 45.1% in the trial group, and 82.6%, 66.0% and 48.8% in the control group; the 5-year OS rates of I( stage, II( stage and III( stage were 90.2%, 76.2% and 56.7% in the trial group, and 94.4%, 74.3% and 60.5% in the control group, respectively, and the differences were not significant as well (all P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe long-term outcomes after laparoscopic low anterior resection of rectal carcinoma with preservation of LCA and dissection of lymph nodes around root of IMA are comparable with ligation at origin of IMA.

OBJECTIVETo demonstrate the feasibility of extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE) for locally advanced low cancer in China.

METHODSA prospective multicenter clinical trial was carried out by 7 general hospitals across China from August 2008 to October 2011. A total of 102 patients underwent ELAPE for primary locally advanced low rectal cancer. There were 60 male and 42 female patients. The patients' characteristics, complications and prognosis were recorded.

RESULTSAll patients underwent the ELAPE procedure successfully. The median operating time was 180 minutes (range 110-495 minutes) and median intraoperative blood loss was 200 ml (range 50-1000 ml). The rates of sexual dysfunction, perineal complications, urinary retention, and chronic perineal pain were 40.5%, 23.5%, 18.6% and 13.7%, respectively. Chronic perineal pain was associated with coccygectomy (12 months postoperatively, t = 8.06, P < 0.01), and the pain might gradually ease over time. Reconstruction of pelvic floor with biologic mesh was associated with lower rate of perineal dehiscence (χ(2) = 13.502, P = 0.006) and overall perineal wound complications (χ(2) = 5.836, P = 0.016) compared with primary closure. A positive circumferential margin (CRM) was demonstrated in 6 (5.9%) patients, and intraoperative perforations occurred in 4 (3.9%) patients. All CRM involvement and intraoperative perforation located at anteriorly and anterolaterally. The local recurrence was 4.9% at a median follow-up of 35 months (range, 18-58 months).

CONCLUSIONSELAPE performed in the prone position for low rectal cancer leads to a reduction in CRM involvement, intraoperative perforations, and local recurrence, but it might result in a little high rate of perineal wound related complications. Reconstruction of pelvic floor with biologic mesh might lower the rate of perineal wound complications.
