Rabbits were intoxicated with hypodermic injection of 0.8% CdCl2 in normal saline every other day for 3 months,and the blood level of urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) and the activities of Na/K-ATpase,Ca-ATPase,and ?-GT in the renal cortex were determined.It was found that there were no remarkable changes of BUN and Cr level but significant reduction of the activities of the 3 enzymes.It is believed that the reduction of the enzyme activities is one of the factors to initiate the functional disturbances and morphological damages of the kidneys and plays an important role in the mechanism of renal failure if it is not promptly corrected.

Objective To investigate the changing trend of incidence and the relevant factors in fetal macrosomia. Methods 84 883 newborns during Jan. 1,1970 to Dec. 31,1999 were used to analyze the incidence of fetal macrosomia,the average birth weight,the percentage of superior fetal macrosomia, the distribution of gestational age, the rate of cesarean section and the vaginal delivery, the relevant factors of fetal macrosomia. Results All the cases were divided into 3 groups, one group from 1970 to 1979, the second one from 1980 to 1989, the third one from 1990 to 1999. The incidence of fetal macrosomia for three groups were 2. 6%, 6. 9% and 13 2% ( P

Objective To study the effect of nerve growth factor(NGF)in survival of super-length random flap.Methods The experiment employed the animal model of random flap in Wistar's rat back,applied 66.7 μg NGF locally in trial group's flap at the first day after operation with auto-control.The survival proportion,skin temperature and survival rate of random flap were observed,and the blood flow,the blood flow velocity,the blood flow volume change of random flap were measured by the laser and photic-conduct fiber means in differ time.Results The survival proportion(7.12±1.54)cm2 and survival rate(92±5)%of random flap of trial group was obviously higher(P＜0.05)than those in control group[(5.23±0.19)cm2,(69±5)%]after pedicle division.The blood flow,the blood flow velocity,the blood flow volume and skin temperature in the midge and at the end of random flap in the trial group were obviously higher than those in control group 1 day after operation(P＜0.05),and the blood flow velocity in the pedicle of random flap in the trial group was increased markedly(P＜0.05).The blood flow volume and skin temperature in the pedicle of random flap in the trial group were higher than those in control group 3 days after operation(P＜0.05).The survival of randomflapinthetrial groupwere very significantly increased than those in control group 7 days after operation(P＜0.01).Conclusion NGF can increase flap's blood flow,blood flow velocity and blood flow volume,enhancing survival of the big-proportioned and super-length random flap.

AIM: To observe the effects of sera containing Kang xian ling (a traditional Chinese medicine) on c-Met and its downstream MAPK signal molecules in HK-2 cells treated with transforming growth factor-β_1(TGF-β_1), so as to further explore the effective mechanism of anti-renal fibrosis of the traditional Chinese medicine. METHODS: Rat sera containing herbs were collected after rats were intragastrically administered with the herbs. HK-2 cells activated by TGF-β_1 were incubated with different heat-inactivated sera. The proliferation and expression of MAPK and the phosphorylation of MAPK in HK-2 cells were detected by Alarm blue and immunoblotting. RESULTS: No significant difference of cell proliferation between any two groups was observed. C-Met and the phosphorylation of its downstream molecules were also observed after incubated with different sera. CONCLUSION: The receptor c-Met of hepatocyte growth factor, and the phosphorylation of its downstream MAPK molecules can be regulated by the sera containing Kang xian ling.

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of different surgical approaches on SiewertⅡ (esophageal invasion ≤3 cm) adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.MethodsThis retrospective study included 251 cases of Siewert Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction undergoing D2 or D2 + total gastrectomy by transabdominal approach ( TA group, 128 cases) or left thoracoabdominal approach ( LTA group, 123 cases).Operation time,blood loss, extent of esophageal resection, number of lymph nodes dissected,morbidity, mortality and the survival rate were a analyzed between the two groups.ResultsThe 3,5-year overall survival rates were 62. 5％, 39.0％ ( TA group) and 54. 9％, 31.9％ ( LTA group),respectively (P ＞ 0. 05). Length of esophageal resection in the LTA group were slightly longer than that in the TA group (5. 6 ± 1.1) cm vs. (5.4 ± 1.1 ) cm (P ＜0. 05), the positive surgical margin between two groups were not statistically different[1.6％ ( LTA group) vs. 3. 1％ ( TA group), ( P ＞ 0. 05 )]. The mean number of removed lymph node were not significantly different between two groups[23.4 ± 8.7 ( TA group) vs. 23.7 ± 8.4 ( LTA group)], ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The operation time (227 ± 24) min, blood loss (270 ± 78)ml, and perioperative morbidity( 13.3％ ) and mortality( 1.6％ ) in TA group was significantly better than the LTA group[(261 ±32) min, (342 ±59)ml, 26.8％, 6.5％](P＜0.05).ConclusionsFor Siewert Ⅱ adenocarcinoma at esophagogastric junction (esophageal invasion ≤3 cm) ,total gastrectomy with D2 or D2 + lymph node dissection through the transabdominal approach could achieve curative purposes, with a low morbidity and mortality rate.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis of cT3 and the subgroups of low rectal cancer patients who underwent neoadju-vant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and evaluate whether all patients with cT3 low rectal cancer should undergo CRT. Methods:A total of 223 patients with cT3 low rectal cancer treated in the Department of Colorectal Surgery of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2008 to December 2012 were divided into neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy group (CRT group) (115 cases) and no neoad-juvant chemoradiotherapy group (nCRT group) (108 cases) according to whether the patients underwent CRT. Afterward, the patients were retrospectively divided into three subgroups (mrT3a, mrT3b, and mrT3c) according to the proposed criteria of the Radiologic Soci-ety of North America (RSNA) by measuring the depth of mesorectal invasion (DMI) (DMI<5, DMI=5-10, and DMI>10 mm). The prog-noses of the two groups and their subgroups were compared. Results:The CRT and nCRT groups revealed no significant differences in the 3-year disease-free survival rate and the local recurrence rate for all the mrT3 patients (78.2%vs. 71.9%, P=0.608;4.4%vs. 8.5%, P=0.120) and mrT3a patients (82.4%vs. 81.8%, P=0.837;5.8%vs. 5.9%, P=0.658). On the contrary, for the mrT3b patients, the CRT and nCRT groups revealed significant differences in the 3-year disease-free survival rate (84.4%vs. 42.4%, P=0.032) and local recurrence rate (0.0%vs. 18.2%, P=0.014). For the mrT3b,c patients, the CRT and nCRT groups revealed no significant difference in the 3-year dis-ease-free survival rate (72.8%vs. 42.4%, P=0.060) but revealed a significant difference in the local recurrence rate (2.4%vs. 18.2%, P=0.021). COX regression analysis was utilized for 3-year disease-free survival, DMI and circumferential resection margin (CRM) were significant in the univariate analysis. Additionally, the multivariate analysis indicated that CRM is an independent impact factor (OR=2.249, CI 1.067-4.742, P=0.033). Conclusion:CRT can improve the prognosis of patients with mrT3b,c low rectal cancer but may not significantly influence the prognosis of patients with mrT3a and CRM-negative low rectal cancer;surgical treatment can be performed in these patients without CRT.

Objective To investigate the status of depression with anxiety symptoms, and analyze the influencing factors of anxiety symptoms from demographic data and social psychological factors. Methods Hamilton depression rat?ing scale (HAMD), Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA), Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ), life event scale (LES), trait coping style questionnaire (TCSQ) and social support scale (SSS) were used to evaluate 729 patients with de?pression. According to HAMA scores, patients were divided into non anxiety symptoms group (HAMA<7) and anxiety symptoms group (HAMA>14). Social psychological factors were compared between two groups, and the influencing fac?tors of anxiety symptoms were analyzed. Results The incidence of anxiety symptoms in depression was 58.85% (429/729), and 119 cases (16.32%) were certainly without anxiety symptoms. Compared with the group without anxiety symp?toms, the anxiety symptoms group had higher scores on neuroticism, psychoticism, negative life events and negative cop?ing style (P<0.001), but lower scores on introversion and extroversion (P=0.010). Degree of depression (OR=9.255, 95%CI:4.726~18.127), neuroticism (OR=1.595, 95%CI:1.197~2.125), negative life events (OR=1.009, 95%CI:1.001~1.017) and negative coping style (OR=1.046, 95%CI:1.013~1.080) were the risk factors of anxiety symptoms (P<0.05). Conclu?sion The incidence of anxiety symptoms in patients with depression is high. Patients with higher degree of depression and typical neurotic personality experiencing more negative life events and those with tendency to adopt negative coping style are more susceptible to anxiety symptoms.
