Objective This experiment was to identify the influence of recombinant human endostatin (rhES) combined with 5-FU on the growth of a xenografted gastric cancer in nude mouse. Methods After the establishment of the model, mice were divided into 4 groups (six in each) receiving respectively, for consecutive 10 days: NS, 5-FU (10 mg/kg) intraperitoneally; rhES (2 mg/kg); and 5-FU + rhES. On 15th day tumor volume was measured. The expression of VEGF, bFGF, VEGF-C, PCNA, bcl-2 and apoptosis index (AI) were examined. The tumor inhibition rate(TIR) and tumor shrinking rate(TSR) were calculated. Results Tumor volume was (43?2) mm 3 in 5 FU+rhES group,(169?45) mm 3 in 5 FU group, (95?28) mm 3 in rhES group, (1057?114) mm 3 in control group ( P

ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effect of combined portoazygous devascularization and shunt on portal hypertension. MethodsThe data of 56 cases of portal hypertension treated with portoazygous devascularization and shunt from April 1987 to April 1999 was summarized. ResultsThere was no death in 54 patients receiving selective operation;of 2 cases receiving emergency operation, one died. Among 49 followed-up cases, there was one rebleeding,2 hepatic encephalopathy, and one died of liver failure 4 years after opeation. The mean portal pressure before and after operation was(3.42±0.46) kPa and (2.50±0.35) kPa, respectively. ConclusionCombined portoazygons devascularization and shunt not only decreases portal pressure but preserve hepatic blood flow to some extent.

Objective To study the expression of nuclear factor-?Bp65 (NF-?Bp65) in gastric carcinoma and its relationship with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Methods The expression of NF-?Bp65 and VEGF in 56 gastric carcinomas was detected with immunohistochemistry and compared with benign tissues. Results The positive rates of NF-?Bp65 and VEGF in 56 gastric carcinomas were 62.5% and 76.8% respectively,and which were higher than those of gastric mucosal atypical hyperplasia (33.3% and 44.4%) and the normal gastric mucosa(0 and 8.3%) (P0.05). There was positive correlation between NF-?Bp65 and VEGF expression (r=0.36,P

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis of portal hypertensive gastropathy(PHG). Methods Two rat models with portal hypertension(PHT) and a sham operation group were established to detect the pathological changes in histology and ultrastructure of the gastric mucosa as well as quantitative changes in histological morphology by graphic analysis computer system. Results Prominent edema, scattered red dots/ecchymosis were found in gastric mucosa in rats with PHT. Light and scan electron microscopy showed swelling or exfoliating of the epithelium cell, reduction of gastric gland number, thin of gastric mucosa, while infiltration of inflammatory cells, epithelium metaplasia were not found. The most characteristic findings were the changes of the mucosal capillaries and venules in both mucosal basal lamina and submucosa layer light microscopically, as well as the transmutation, stenosis and loose intercellular joining of the capillaries on electron microscopy. Ultrastructure observation revealed numerous pinocytes in epithelial cells as well as proliferation and hyperplasia of smooth muscle, collagenous fiber and extracellular matrix in venules. Quantitative analysis showed that the ratios of the cross sectional area and the vascular wall area between the gastric wall area(CSA/GWA & VWA/GWA) was higher in liver cirrhosis(LC) and portal vein stenosis(PVS) groups than that in sham operation(SO) group. There was a positive correlation between portal vein pressure and the ratio of the length of damaged mucosa and the length of mucosa(LDM/LM that was higher in LC group than in PVS group). Conclusions In rats with cirrhotic portal hypertension, distinct gastric microvascular morphological changes are the major etiological factor of PHG as a part of pathological changes in portal hypertension.

Objective To study the anatomy of pelvic autonomic nerves, to avoid autonomic nerves damage during rectal cancer surgery. MethodsAnatomical dissections were carried out on 7 adult cadavers, and clinically autonomic nerve-preserving rectal cancer resection was performed. Results The superior hypogastric plexus lies just posterior to the inferior mesenteric vessels. There were no obvious autonomic nerve trunks in the loose areolar tissue plane between the parietal fascia and the visceral fascia right posterior to the rectum. There were no obvious autonomic nerve trunks between the rectum and the seminal vesicles or the prostate. The inferior hypogastric plexus was a rhomboid shaped plaque of nervous tissue. The main components of the lateral ligament were autonomic nerves passing from the pelvic plexus to the rectum within a condensation of connective tissue. WT5”HZConclusionsThe inferior mesenteric vessels can be used a landmark intraoperatively to identify the superior hypogastric plexus. In order to preserve the inferior hypogastric plexus while dissecting the lateral of rectum, we should dissect along the medial surface of the inferior hypogastric plexus, and along its curvature.
