Colorectal cancer is a very common malignant neoplasm.It is widely accepted that community screening for colorectal cancer significantly reduces mortality of this disease.Detection of neoplasm is facilitated by fecal occult blood testing(FOBT),sigmoidoscopy,colonoscopy and double contrast barium enema.Colonoscopy is currently the gold standard,however,the appropriate age to begin testing and time interval between repeat sereenings remain unclear.Screening with CT colonography(vivtul colonoscopy),fecal DNA analysis and detecting cyclooxygenase 2 messenger RNA in feces is under study.Finding the optimal screening method and increasing acceptability to both physician and patients remain to be studied further.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase is over-expressed in numerous human tumors, which plays pivotal roles in cellular signal transduction, and it is involved in a variety of tumor cellular behaviors such as proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis and so on. Many investigations have indicated that tumor growth can be suppressed by inhibiting EGFR tyrosine kinase activity. Currently, several EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors are in clinical trial stage.

Objective To study the effect of articular step-off on knee joint contact pressures in fractures of the medial tibial plateau. Methods Eight specimens of embalmed adult knee joint were used to establish models of articular step-off of the medial tibial plateau by 0,1,2,3 mm respectively (Schatzker Ⅳ fracture) .The technique of pressure sensitive film was used to measure the contact pressures on the weight-bearing area of the knee joint in the 3 models. Results When the step-offs of medial tibial plateau were 0,1,2,3 mm,the average contact pressures on the lateral compartment were respectively 3.34 ± 0.06 MPa,3.48 ± 0.06 MPa,4.19 ± 0.05 MPa,4.19 ± 0.04 MPa,while the average contact pressures on the medial coMPartment were 4.04±0.17 MPa,4.57±0.20 MPa,5.64±0.20 MPa,5.64±0.19 MPa.When the step-off of medial tibial plateau was 2 mm,the average contact pressures on the medial and lateral plateaus increased by 39.6％ and 25.4％ compared with the 0 mm step-off,with statistically significant differences (P ＜0.05). Conclusions If the step-off of the medial tibial plateau reaches ≥ 2mm,open reduction and internal fixation should be indicated to prevent secondary traumatic arthritis.When the step-off of the medial tibial plateau is ＜ 2 mm,conservative treatment can be a proper choice.

Infectious necrosis is one of severe local complications caused by acute pancreatitis,and the mortality rate was reported to be up to 10％ ～ 20％.Traditional open surgical debridement used to be the sole option for this disease.Nevertheless,this approach is associated with poor outcome.Currently,conservative treatment and minimally invasive procedures are more favorable.The treatment for infectious necrosis caused by acute pancreatitis can be summarized as 3D,representing delay,drain,debride.The patients usually receive initial treatment in ICU division,and surgical intervention is then delayed.Percutaneous drainage can be firstly performed in the early course of the disease,followed by necrotic tissue debridement with laparoscopic or video-assisted retroperitoneal procedures.Open surgical debridement is now rarely used,which is merely performed for certain refractory cases.The management of acute pancreatitis infected necrosis therefore is a clinical question that requires a multiple disciplinary team rather than a simply surgical disease.This paper reviewed the relevant issues.

In recent years,postoperative mortality rate of pancreatic resection has dropped below 5％,while the complication rate still remains as high as 30％ ～ 50％.Postoperative pancreatic fistula and abdominal abscess are two serious complications after pancreatic resection,with the incidence of 10％ ～28％.Deep understanding of the physiological functions of the pancreas together with the research and development of new medications has improved the prognosis of patients with pancreatic fistula.This article gave a brief overview on the progress in this regard.

Objective To investigate the effect of ERK in apoptosis of neuron induced by endotoxemia,provide the theory basis for the early intervention. Methods Wistar rats aged 10 day were randomly divided into two groups:LPS group and NS group. Neuron apoptosis at 6、12、72 h after abdomen injection were detected by TUNEL method, the expressions of ERK were measured by immunohistochemial method.Results ( 1 ) apoptosis cell appeared at 6 hour in LPS group, but the apoptosis index showed no difference from NS group( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The apoptosis cell obvious increased at 12 hour, peaked at 72 hour( P ＜ 0. 05 ,P ＜0. 01 ). (2) As compared with NS group, the expression of ERK increased at 6 h ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), obviously decreased at 12 h(P ＜0. 01 ) ,and reversed to the level of NS group at 72 h(P ＞0. 05). Conclusion LPS can induce the neuron apoptosis in young rats, the ERK is activated and could play role in apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:The immature disc nucleus pulposus is composed of notochordal cels, but there is no notochordal cel in the mature human intervertebral disc, in which the notochordal cels are replaced by chondrocyte-like cels. It is very important to comprehend the disappearance of the notochordal cels; however, it is stil unknown at present. OBJECTIVE: To elaborate the feasibility of notochordal cels to maintain the proliferation and phenotype of chondrocyte-like cels and to induce the cartilage-like differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. METHODS: The first author used the computer to retrieve PubMed and Wanfang databases using the key words of “notochord cels; nucleus pulposus cels; identify” in English and Chinese, respectively. Totaly 9 896 relevant articles published from January 1999 to August 2015 were retrieved. Repetitive studies were excluded, and finaly 36 articles were in accordance with the inclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Now, the main functions of notochordal cels are to promote synthesis of extracelular matrix in the nucleus pulposus, induce directional differentiation of mesenchymal cels into nucleus pulposus cels or act as “seed cels” to form the nucleus pulposus cels. The presence and disappearance of notochordal cels is related to intervertebral disc degeneration. Cel apoptosis is involved in static compressionviadeath receptor signals, and then leads to intervertebral disc degeneration. fas ligand can mediate the reduction of notochordal cels, and hypoxia-inducible factor can induce spinal cord injury thereby triggering cel death and complete disappearance of nucleus pulposus. The measurement and verification of immune makers of notochordal cels, CK-8, CK-18 and galectin-3, can benefit to the identification and isolation of notochordal cels, and thereby help the studies on cel growth and differentiation, function and its mechanism of apoptosis.
