Objective To evaluate the effects of intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy with sustained release 5-fluorouracil for implantation(5-Fu SRI) for the treatment of locally advanced colon cancer. Methods A total of 70 patients with locally advanced primary colon cancer(T4N0M0 and stage Ⅲ) undergoing radical resection were divided into treatment group(n=36,intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy with 600mg 5-Fu SRI)and control group(n=34,intraoperative intraperitoneal flushing with 1000mg 5-fluorouracil injection). Both groups received the same postoperative chemotherapy regime.The 2-year survival rate,local recurrence rate and distant metastasis rate were retrospectively analysed. Results The 2-year survival rate and local recurrence rate were more favourable in treatment group than those in control group(P0.05). Conclusion Intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy with 5-Fu SRI may decrease postoperative local recurrence rate and increase 2year survival rate.

Objective:To investigate the change in myogenin expression at different time in long-term denervated human posterior cricoarytenoid muscles(PCAMs),so as to provide a theoretical basis for timing of reinnervation.Methods: Thisty-eight specimens of denervated human PCAMs were divided into 4 groups according to the period of denervation: 6-12 months denervation group(n=12),1-2 years denervation group(n=10),2-3 years denervation group(n=8),and over 3 years denervation group(n=8).Another 12 specimens of normal PCAMs served as control.The patients in all groups were age-and sex-matched.The expression of myogenin protein and mRNA was studied using immunofluorescence staining and real-time PCR analysis,respectively.Results: Immunofluorescence staining showed that the positive myogenin expression was mainly!found in the myonuclei of PCAMs with a denervation period less than 3 years;no positive staining was found in the myonuclei of control group.The expression of myogenin in myonuclei and the ratio of positive cells were up-regulated in the 6-12 month denervation group compared with those in the control group;the expression and the ratio peaked in 1-2 years denervation group and decreased again in the 2-3 years denervation group,but was still significantly higher than those of the control group(all P

Objective:To study the morphological changes of posterior cricoarytenoid muscles(PCM) in patients with long-term denervation of recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN),so as to provide theoretical evidence for repair of recurrent laryngeal nerve at advanced clinical stage.Methods: Thirty-eight patients with damaged RLN were divided into 4 groups according to the duration of their RLN damage: 6-12 months group(n=12),1-2 years group(n=10),2-3 years group(n=8),and over 3 years group(n=8).Twelve subjects with normal PCM served as control.Trichrome Masson staining and imaging analyzing system were used to quantitatively analyze the transverse section areas of myofibers,collagen fiber and connective tissues.SDH and AchE staining and cell counting method were used to analyze changes of two kinds of myofibers and motor end plate numbers at different times after denervation of recurrent laryngeal nerve.Results: The transverse areas of myofibers gradually decreased and those of collagen fibers gradually increased with the prolongation of denervation;the difference was significant between different groups(P

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis, distribution of the pathogens and resistance pattern of nosocomial pneumonia in patients with diseases of central nervous system(CNS).Methods Bacterial typing was conducted on the 59 strains separated from the sputum of 59 patients of nosocomial pneumonia with CNS diseases in our hospital in 2002.MIC drug sensitive test in vitro was conducted with the most common 15 antibiotics.Results The most common pathogens of nosocomial pneumonia in the diseases of CNS were:Staphylococcus aureus 23.7%,Pseudomonas aeruginosa 22.0%,Acinetobacter baumannii 18.6%,Klebsiella pneumoniae 8.5% Xanthomonas maltophilia 6.8%?According to the drug sensitive test,antimicrobial-resistant gram-negative bacilli were increasing.None of the vancomycin-resistant MRSA variant was seen.Conclusion The risk factors of nosocomial pneumonia in the diseases of CNS are long hospital stay,respiratory tract invasive operation and unreasonable antibiotic therapy.The most common pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Xanthomonas maltophilia.Effective and infection-control procedures,surveillance systems and appropriate antimicrobial selection are key methods in limiting nosocomial pneumonia and antimicrobial-resistant pathogen occurrence.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yigan Fupi Decoction (YFD) in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) patients.

METHODSA randomized controlled clinical trail was carried out in patients with IBS-D. All patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (58 cases, treated with YFD) and the control group (58 cases, treated with Pinaverium Bromide Tablet). The treatment course was 4 weeks for all patients. The total effective rate, the stool property and state, the quality of life (QOL), and TCM syndrome efficacy were assessed by IBS bowel symptom severity scale (IBS-BSS), IBS defecation state questionnaire (IBS-DSQ), IBS quality of life questionnaire (IBS-QOL), and traditional Chinese medicine pattern curative effect scoring system (TCM-PES) before and after treatment.

RESULTSThere was no statistical difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (82.76% vs. 77.59%, P > 0.05). The treatment group was superior in the total IBS-BSS integral to the control group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate of improving the stool property was better in the treatment group than in the control group (81.03% vs. 72.41%, P < 0.05). Besides, the number of days for emergent defecation among 10 days was less in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The improvement of the total IBS-QOL integral and the total integral of TCM syndrome were better in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.01). The total effective rate of TCM-PES was better in the treatment group than in the control group (84.48% vs. 70.69%, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONYFD was effective in the treatment of IBS-D patients of Gan-qi invading Pi syndrome, and could effectively relieve bowel symptoms, improve the stool property and the defecation frequency, elevate their QOL, and attenuate Gan-qi invading Pi syndrome with favorable safety and compliance.

Objective To forward the concept of solution space of pharmacokinetics for studying radiophannaceutical distributions in animal models. Methods On the basis of special solutions of differential equations of pharmacokinetics, the solution space was established using the characteristics of linearly independent particular solutions and used to express the pharmacokinetics of pharmaceuticals in vivo. 0. 2 ml (7.4 MBq) 2β-carbomethoxy-3β- (4-corophenyl)-8-(2-18F-fluoroethyl) nortropane (18F-FECNT) was injected through tail vein into normal mice. The mice were sacrificed by decapitation at 5, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 180 min post-injection. Brain tissues were removed and weighed, and radioactivity was counted with the γ-counter. The solution space theory was used to study pharmacokinetics of 18F-FECNT in brain tissues of mice. Results The result showed that all solutions of pharmacokinetics models, based on differential equations, were included in the solution space. The solution of any organ or tissue could be linearly expressed by bases of the solution space. When the dimension number of the solution space was no more than 3, the solution could be directly expressed with coordinate picture. By this rule in our theory, the quantity of 18F-FECNT in brain tissues of mice changed with time, which was accorded with the experiment. The coordinates of striatum, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, occipital cortex, parietal cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum in the solution space were ( 10.13, 1.49), (4.27, 0. 84), (4.48, 0.81 ), (2.89, 0.98), (3.65, 0. 83),(3.55, 0. 98) and (2.03, 1.25 ), respectively. Conclusion The theory of solution space could be used to study pharmacokinetics of 18 F-FECNT in mice brain.

Objective To study the effect of Bupi-Qufeng decoction on total serum IgE (TIgE) and EOS counts of atopic dermatitis (AD).Methods A total of 101 cases were randomly recruited into a treatment group and a control group.During the treatment both groups were give Danggui-Bohe ointment for external use,and based on this,oral Bupi-Qufeng decoction was added in the treatment group and loratadine in the control group.TIgE level and EOS count were detected both before the treatment and four weeks after the treatment.Results TIgE in the treatment group decreased significantly after the treatment (t=8.0063,P＜0.001),the decreased value of which was larger than the control group (t=3.6434,P＜0.001).EOS count in the treatment group also obviously decreased after the treatment (t=3.0314,P＜0.01) ; the decreased value of which was also larger than the control group (t=3.3331,P＜0.01).Conclnsion Bupi-Qufeng decoction could decrease TIgE and EOS level of AD patient,while the therapeutic mechanism needed further research.

Objective To investigate the morphology change of posterior cricoarytenoid muscle myofiber in patients with idiopathic vocal fold paralysis and to provide experimental evidence for the clinical treatment of idio‐pathic vocal cord paralysis .Methods Thirty -nine cases of vocal fold paralysis patients were recruited into and di‐vided into 2 groups :idiopathic vocal cord paralysis group(n=16) ,and traumatic vocal cord paralysis group(n=23) . Both groups were further divided into 3 subgroups:0 .5~1 year(5 cases and 7 cases) ,>1~2 years(5 cases and 10 cases) ,>2 years(6 cases and 6 cases) .Part of posterior cricoarytenoid muscle(PCAM ) were acquired from all of vo‐cal cord paralysis patients .Normal human posterior cricoarytenoid muscles were treated as the control group (n=5) . They were all stained with Masson three-color staining ,the fiber crosssectional area of muscle tissue and collagen connective tissue were quantitatively analyzed with the image pro plus analysis system .Differences of two observa‐tion indexes were compared with each other among groups and subgroups .Results The number of myofibers was decreased ,but the numbers of the collagen fibers was increased with the onset time course extension ,the ratio of cross sectional area of myofibers to those of collagen fibers was progressively decreasd with increased time course of denervation and more decrease within 1 year .There was obvious difference between the control group and 0 .5~1 year ,>1~2 years ,>2 years subgroup of idiopathic vocal cord paralysis (P<0 .05) .Although without no signifi‐cant difference between >1~2 years subgroup and >2 years subgroup ,the trend of shrinking still existed .Com‐pared two observation indexes of traumatic vocal cord paralysis with the same period subgroup indexes of idiopathic vocal fold paralysis ,there was no significant difference about these two observation indexes (P>0 .05) .In some special cases with 10 years duration in idiopathic vocal cord paralysis group ,the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle at‐rophy fibrosis was not serious .However ,in some case which the course lasted for only 1 .5 years ,the muscle atrophy was very obvious .There were great individual differences among idiopathic vocal cord paralysis patients .Conclusion If there is no recovery after half year treatment ,for PCA muscle function recovery ,the recurrent laryngeal nerve injury repair surgery could be considered to carry out within 1 year .In some cases with long disease duration (>2 years) ,they may still have the muscle morphological basis for nerve repair .

Objective:To explore the expression of TNF a and IL-10 in different layers of laryngeal tissues after laryngeal transplantation and its relationship with acute rejection.Methods:Laryngeal heterotopic transplantation was performed in Wistar and SD rats(Wistar→SD rats).The SD rats were divided into 4 groups:GroupⅠ:Sham control(receive no transplantation): GroupⅡ(receive transplantation,without cyelosporine A treatment);GroupⅢ(receive transplantation.with 5 mg?kg~(-1)?d cyelosporine A treatment):and GroupⅣ(receive transplantation.with 10 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)cyelosporine A treatment).The transplanted larynx was harvested on 3,7 and 11 days after transplantation for pathological examination.The expression of TNF-?and IL-10 in different layers of grafts was detected immunohistochemically.Results:Pathological observation showed mild,moderate and severe acute rejection in GroupⅡandⅢon 3.7 and 11 days after transplantation,respectively:there was no obvious rejection in GroupⅣ.Immunohistochemical staining showed expression of TNF-?and IL-10 in GroupⅡ.Ⅲ.andⅣ,not in GroupⅠ.The ratios of the positive areas of TNF-?and IL-10 in the mucosal and submucosal layers were significantly higher than those in the muscle and cartilage layers of laryngeal tissues(P

Objective To investigate the clinical value of iPass in three dimensional contrast enhanced MR angiography (3D-CE-MRA). Methods iPass were performed in 32 cases, including cervical vessel (4 cases), pulmonary vessel (7 cases), abdominal vessel (18 cases), and femoral vessel (3 cases). iPass bolus tracking was run before 3D-CE-MRA. The tracking sequence was operated repeatedly with real time display of image. The peak of bolus arrival time(Tp), identified with signal of target vessel increased 30% over baseline, was automatically loaded in the timing page of 3D-CE-MRA, and the time of scan delay(Td) was computed by the system with Tp. The acquired images were subtracted and reconstructed by MIP. The quality of MIP image was evaluated. Results The iPass bolus tracking sequence and 3D-CE-MRA were completed successfully in 29 cases. The bolus tracking couldn′t detect the bolus arrival time in 3 cases, but they were completed through changing ROI and bolus tracking repeatedly. The average score of 3D-CE-MRA MIP image was 3.81?0.59. Conclusion iPass can provide the exact Tp and automatically control Td of 3D-CE-MRA. iPass is a useful procedure to improve the image quality and provide the specific scanning scheme for 3D-CE-MRA.
