This article is to evaluate the role of DCC gene alteration in the development and progression of gastric cancer, as well as to correlate with its prognosis. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at DCC gene was examined in 45 cases of surgically resected gastric cancer tissue. LOH at the DCC locus was detected in 15/45(33.3%), and it was found to be closely related to clinical staging, but not to the histologic types, depth of tumor invasion or lymph node metastases. These results suggest that LOH at the DCC locus occurs in late stage of the disease and detection of LOH at the DCC locus may be useful for predicting the prognosis of the gastric cancer patients.

Objective To explore the effect of early tracheal intubation on hypoxemia and level of blood lactate, C-reactive protein(CRP) in patients with severe intracerebral hemorrhage .Methods Fifty-four patients with severe intracerebral hemorrhage were divided into routine tracheal intubation (routine intubation group,n=25) and early tracheal intubation group(early intubation group,n=29) radomly.In routine tracheal intubation group, tracheal intubation was performed only when respiratory failure occurred .In early intubation group , tracheal intubation was performed as long as hypoxemia which can not be fixed by inspiring oxygen , tongue retropulsion or vomit occurred . Levels of artery blood gas analysis , lactate and CRP were tested before and after 2 h ( lactate ) or 24 h ( CRP ) of tracheal intubation .Heart rate and respiratory frequency were also monitored .Results PaO2 , PaCO2 , SaO2 and heart rate were markedly improved after intubation in both groups , levels of lactate and CRP were evidently reduced after intubation in both groups(all P<0.05).After intubation, the PaO2 of early intubation group was significantly higner and the CRP of early intubation group was significantly lower than that of routine intubation group ( all P<0.05);Before intubation, the PaO2 and SaO2 of early intubation group were significantly higher and levels of lactate and CRP were significantly lower than those of routine intubation group ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion Early tracheal intubation can improve hypoxemia and reduce the level of lactate and CRP in patients with severe intracerebral hemorrhage .

Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of different operative methods for nasal septal spur/ridge elevated deviation. Methods A total of 134 patients with nasal septal spur/ridge elevated deviation were randomly divided into endoscopic surgery group and control group. Patients in the endoscopic group were treated with nasal septoplasty under intranasal endoscopy, while those in the control group were treated with traditional submucous correction of nasal septum. Therapeutic effects and causes of operative success were analyzed. Results The therapeutic efficacy in endoscopic surgery group was significantly superior to that in the control group ( P

BACKGROUND:Humeral supracondylar fracture is a common fracture occurred in children. The selection of internal fixation for humeral supracondylar fracture remains controversial. OBJECTIVE:To compare the biocompatibility between internal fixation with Kirschner wire and bioabsorbable implants for humeral supracondylar fractures. METHODS: From January 2007 to January 2013, 246 cases of humeral supracondylar fractures, from Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical Colege, were treated by internal fixation with Kirschner wire. Meanwhile, the studies on internal fixation for treating supracondylar fracture of humerus in children were searched. Efficacy was evaluated by preoperative and postoperative elbow range of motion and the incidence of cubitus varus, and the results were statisticaly analyzed, and compared with other therapeutic methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al cases were folowed up for 6-36 months, averagely 18 months. According to Mayo elbow performance score, function of the elbow joint was excelent in 194 cases, and good in 48 cases, with good and excelent rate being 98.4%. Four cases suffered < 5° cubitus varus, with incidence rate of 1.63%. The internal fixation with Kirschner wire provided functional recovery of elbow joint, but the second stage operation was needed to pick out the wires. And it might be perplexed by Kirschner wire loosening or needle withdrawal, resulting in instable fixation. Bioabsorbable implants were effective in the treatment of supracondylar fracture of humerus. Bioabsorbable sticks would break down over time, without harming to human body or influencing imaging examination. Elbow function development of the epiphysis would not be affected. However, due to lack of large-sample observation, long-term effects of bioabsorbable implants for treating supracondylar fracture of humerus in children deserve further studies.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of open reduction plate screw nail internal fixed and minimally invasive elastic intramedullary nail internal fixation combined with neck strap suspension for treating adult humeral shaft fracture . Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 65 patients with humeral shaft fracture in our hospital from March 2012 to March 2014 ,including 38 cases of open reduction plate screw internal fixation (plate screw nail fixation group) and 27 cases of limited open or closed reduction elastic intramedullary nail internal fixation combined with neck strap suspension (elastic intramedullary nail group) .The operation time ,intraoperative blood loss amount ,iatrogenic radial nerve injury ,occurrence rate of incision infection ,postoperative fracture reduction degree ,fracture recovery time and elbow joint function score were compared be‐tween the two groups .Results The operation time and intraoperative bleeding volume in the elastic intramedullary nail group were less than those in the plate screw nail fixation group ,the differences were statistically significant (P<0 .05);the postoperative frac‐ture healing rate had no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0 .05) ,the postoperative shoulder and elbow joint function scores in the plate screw nail group were significantly higher than those in the elastic intramedullary nail group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .No serious nerve damage ,incision infection and other postoperative complications occurred in the two groups .Conclusion Both the open reduction plate screw nail internal fixation and elastic intramedullary nail in‐ternal fixation are effective method for treating adult humeral shaft fracture ,the latter has shorter operation time ,less intraoperative bleeding ,but shoulder elbow pain and limitation of motion are more serious than the former .

Objective To investigate the relationship between social support and subjective well-be-ing in only-child-lost ( OCL ) people, and the mediating effect of self-efficacy in this relationship. Methods By stratified cluster sampling,206 only-child loss people were investigated with Social Support Rating Scale ( SSRS) ,General Self-Efficacy Scale ( GSES) and Index of Well-Being ( IWB) ,and data were analyzed with SPSS19.0 software and Amos17.0 software. Results ①Scores of SSRS,GSES and IWB in only-child-lost people were(31.78±8.18),(24.12±0.67) and (8.38±3.05). ②Correlation analysis showed that scores of GSES,SSRS and 3 dimensions of SSRS were positively correlated with scores of IWB ( r=0. 542,0.332,0.214,0.332,0.216;P<0.05) . ③Self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between social support and subjective well-being through mediating effect test(χ2/ df=1.986,GFI=0.985,AGFI=0.942, RMSEA=0.069),mediating effect accounted for 16.08%.Conclusion Social support is an important factor which plays a direct or indirect role in subject well-being. Self-efficacy is the intermediate link between social support and subject well-being.

The field of gene therapy has been increasingly studied in the last four decades, and its clinical application has become a reality in the last 15 years. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), an important component of complementary and alternative medicine, has evolved over thousands of years with its own unique system of theories, diagnostics and therapies. TCM is well-known for its various roles in preventing and treating infectious and chronic diseases, and its usage in other modern clinical practice. However, whether TCM can be applied alongside gene therapy is a topic that has not been systematically examined. Here we provide an overview of TCM theories in relation to gene therapy. We believe that TCM theories are congruent with some principles of gene therapy. TCM-derived drugs may also act as gene therapy vehicles, therapeutic genes, synergistic therapeutic treatments, and as co-administrated drugs to reduce side effects. We also discuss in this review some possible approaches to combine TCM and gene therapy.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of multiple overlapping stents combined with coils in treating intracranial fusiform aneurysms, and to evaluate its therapeutic efficacy. Methods During the period from Aug. 2012 to Aug. 2013, three patients with intracranial fusiform aneurysm were admitted to authors’ hospital. The diagnosis was confirmed by CT angiography and whole cerebral angiography. Multiple overlapping stents combined with coils was carried out in all the three patients. All the patients were followed up and the clinical results were analyzed. Results Multiple overlapping stents combined with coils was successfully accomplished in all the three patients. Greater part of the aneurysmal cavity was occluded, and immediately after the procedure obvious blood whirling in the aneurysmal sac was seen. A total of 7 stents and 17 coils were used in treating the three patients. No aneurysm rupture or thrombosis occurred. The patients were followed up for 3 - 8 months. In one case the headache disappeared in 8 months, no dysneuria was detected, and angiography showed that the aneurysmal sac disappeared and the parent artery was patent. In another patient the headache disappeared in 3 months, and the angiography showed that the aneurysmal cavity had slight visualization and the parent artery was patent. The remaining patient was asymptomatic at 3-month follow-up. Conclusion For the treatment of intracranial fusiform aneurysms, multiple overlapping stents combined with coils is clinically feasible and safe with excellent short-term efficacy although its long-term results need to be further studied.
