The current status and important advances in multi-disciplinary treatment for advanced gastric cancer,including surgery,chemotherapy and radiotherapy,were reviewed in this article.An operative scheme based on the stage and biologic behavior of the tumor is adopted with the D_2 procedure combined with intraoperative peritoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy(IPHC) for stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ patients.Accurate preoperative staging is of utmost importance in making an appropriate therapeutic strategy.For patients with stage Ⅲ_B and Ⅳ gastric cancer,neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by cyto-reductive surgery,is helpful to prolong survival and improve the quality of life.Besides the 5-FU,cisplatin and doxorubicin based regimen,combination regimens employing newer generation cytotoxic agents including oxaliplatin,irinotecan,taxanes provided more promising efficacy.Postoperative chemo-radiotherapy is presently under investigation.

Objective: To observe the clinical therapeutic efficacy of treatment of prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc with lumber vertebral traction plus Ding's Rolling Technique.Methods: 133 cases of prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc were randomly divided into two groups. There were 68 cases in the treatment group, which were treated with lumber vertebral traction plus Tuina. There were 65 cases in the control group, which were treated with simple lumber vertebral traction. Results: There were statistic differences in the two groups (x2=6.86,P＜0.01). The therapeutic efficacy in the treatment group was better than the control group.Conclusion: The clinical therapeutic efficacy treated with lumber vertebral traction plus Ding's Rolling Technique was better than simple lumber vertebral traction in treating prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are deifned as transcripts longer than 200 nt without coding capacities. Although they were initially argued to be transcriptional by-products of RNA polymeraseⅡ, recent evidence suggests that lncRNAs have been associated with a spectrum of biological processes, and aberrant lncRNA expression may be a major contributor to tumorigenesis, progression and prognosis. This study summarizes the up-to-date studies on lncRNAs in urological neoplasms.

Objective To investigate indications of thoracoscopic resection of esophageal carcinomas. Methods A total of 75 patients with esophageal carcinomas underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) from July 1997 to July 2003. The dissection of the esophagus and radical resection of lymph nodes were performed using a right-sided VATS approach. Then the stomach was dissociated through an upper-abdominal incision and was pulled up for esophago-gastric anastomosis in the left neck. Results A conversion to open surgery was required in 3 patients, in 2 of whom the tumors had enroded into the hilum and the posterior wall of the heart, and in 1 of whom the azygous vein was ruptured. The operation time was 160~220 min, with the intrathoracic operation time accounting for 60~90 min. The postoperative blood loss was 300~400 ml. No surgery-related deaths were noted. Postoperative complications included 1 case of volvulus of stomach, 2 cases of anastomotic leakage, 1 case of anastomotic stenosis, and 1 case of chylothorax. Follow-up checkups in 60 patients for 3 months ~ 7 years (mean, 4 years) found 2 cases of supraclavicular lymph node metastasis and 1 case of abdominal lymph node metastasis. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 85.0% (51/60), 51.7% (31/60) and 40.0% (24/60), respectively. Conclusions Video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of esophageal carcinomas is feasibly suited to patients with localized lesions at phaseⅠ or Ⅱ.

Objective To establish a real -time quantitative PCR ( RT-PCR) assay for detecting serum miR -122, miR-22, and evaluate the clinical significance of miR -122 and miR-22 in patients with chronic hepatitis B ( CHB) by using of this assay .Meth-ods The mature miRNAs were reversely transcripted by using of stem -loop primers .SYBR GreenⅠquantitative real-time PCR ( qRT-PCR) was used for quantification of the miRNAs .The sensitivity of this assay was evaluated by using of the 10-fold-diluted miRNA-122 cDNA standards and the specificity was verified by using of melting curve assay .The accuracy was assessed by intra -assay coeffi-cient of variation (CV) of threshold cycle (Ct value), which were calculated from a 20-times-repeat detection of the miR -122 cDNA (2 ×105 , 2 ×106 , 2 ×107 copies/μl) standards.Using the established qRT -PCR assay, we detected the expression of serum miR -122 and miR-22 in the patients with CHB and healthy controls .Results The qRT-PCR assay exhibited good performances in the linear range, sensitivity and reproducibility while detecting miR -122 and miR-22.The relative level of miR -122 and miR-22 was 17.88 vs 5.35 in the CHB patients and 1.80 vs 1.67 in the controls (P=0.000).Conclusion Using of stem-loop primers, we established a qRT-PCR assay for detection of serum miR -122 and miR-22.Serum miR-122 and miR-22 increased significantly in the CHB pa-tients.

Method Sixty-two elderly patients undergoing cardiovascular surgeries were managed by management, which included establishing risk management team, identity and evatuating risk factors, applying risk manadement. Result There was no nursing risk events among them. Conclusion For elderly patients with cardiovascular surgery, risk management can enhance nurses′ability of discerning, assessing and managing the nursing risks so that it is effective in avoiding possible risks, reducing nursing adverse events during perioperative period, improving nursing quality and ensuring the safety of surgery.

Objective To explore the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-11 (MMP-11) gene in gastric cancer cells and its correlation with transcription factor Sp1.Methods T In the present study,the expression of the MMP-11 was studied and the importance of Sp1 in the expression of the MMP-11 was proved with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),differential PCR,Western-Blot,and DNA sequencing analysis in 10 kinds of the gastric cancer cell lines.Results MMP-11 cDNA was amplified with RT-PCR and differential PCR.In 34 cycle,the MMP-11/β-actin of SNU16,BGC823,MKN45,SGC7901,MGC803,SNU5 and PAMC82 were 3.32 ±0.12,2.22 ±0.11,1.41 ±0.12,1.35 ± 0.05,1.19 ± 0.05,0.97 ± 0.05,and 0.79 ± 0.05 (F =371.54,P ＜ 0.001).DNA sequencing analysis and BLAST showed the MMP11/β-actin of SNU16 DNA was 2 ～2.5 times as much as that of others.This result indicated that MMP-11 gene was amplified on the SNU16 DNA.Differential PCR and DNA sequencing analysis were carried out to amplify the MMP-11 gene in the SNU16 cell.Toward a better understanding of transcription of the MMP-1 1 gene,bioinformics technology was used to demonstrate the existence of two GC-boxes of the 5'-flanking region of MMP-11 DNA.Sp1 protein and MMP-11 protein were over-expressed in tumor cells and tended to have correlation with them (r =0.951,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The present results described the expressions of MMP-11 and Sp1 in gastric cancer cells.Moreover and clarified the correlation between MMP-11 and Sp1.It will establish the basic theory in order to confirm further whether Sp1 is a significant promoter of the 5'-flanking region of MMP-11 DNA.
