Objective To understand the status of Clonorchis sinensis infection and its risk factors in Futian District Shen?zhen City so as to provide the evidence for formulating the strategy of prevention and control. Methods Two monitoring points were randomly selected and the permanent population aged≥3 years were investigated and their stool samples were detected for the eggs of C. sinensis by using Kato?Katz technique. Meanwhile the risk factors of infection were also investigated. Results A total of 743 subjects were examined and 7 persons were infected with C. sinensis and the infection rate was 0.94%. Most of the infected cases were focused on 20?40 and 40?60 age groups. The risk factors were eating raw or semi?cooked fish and the protec?tive factor was the use of separated cutting board for cooked or uncooked food. Conclusion The infection rate of C. sinensis is low in the population of Futian District. However the health education especially for diet health education still should be strengthened.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of fluid balance and model of renal replacement therapy (RRT) on renal function and prognosis of patients suffering from septic acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods A retrospective cohort analysis of 117 septic AKI patients who had undergone RRT between January 2009 and December 2014 was performed in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. The patients were divided into positive fluid balance group (n = 52) and negative fluid balance group (n = 65) according to the total amount of fluid calculated from the difference between fluid administered and fluid lost during the first 1 week of RRT. The incidence of renal recovery and death of the patients by 60 days as the endpoint events were taken to judge the prognosis of two groups. RRT strategies included continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and intermittent renal replacement therapy (IRRT). Multiple factors including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, RRT model, the accumulation of fluid before initiation of RRT, and negative fluid balance during RRT were analyzed for outcome predictors by Cox proportional hazards model.Results There were no differences between two groups regarding clinical characteristics. The percentage of receiving CRRT in the negative fluid balance group was slightly higher than that of the positive fluid balance group (52.31% vs. 36.54%,χ2 = 2.899,P = 0.089). With Kaplan-Meier survival curves, it was shown that the patients of negative fluid balance group had a higher rate of recovery of renal function (χ2 = 4.803,P = 0.028) and significantly lower mortality rate (χ2 = 9.505, P = 0.002). The rate of recovery of renal function by 60 days was higher in the negative fluid balance group than that in the positive fluid balance group (47.69% vs. 28.85%,χ2 = 3.991,P = 0.046), while the mortality rate was significantly lowered in the negative fluid balance group compared with that of the positive fluid balance group (40.00% vs. 67.31%,χ2 = 4.378,P = 0.036). Cox multivariate regression was used for excluding confounding factors. After adjusting for the clinically relevant variables, RRT negative fluid balance was significantly associated with recovery of renal function [hazard ratios (HR) = 2.440, 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) = 1.089-5.464,P = 0.030] and mortality (HR = 0.443, 95%CI = 0.238-0.822,P = 0.010]. Higher eGFR before RRT and CRRT were independent favorable factors for recovery of renal function (HR= 1.014, 95%CI = 1.003-1.026,P = 0.012;HR = 3.138, 95%CI = 1.765-7.461,P = 0.002), and higher SOFA score was associated with a significantly higher risk of death (HR = 1.115, 95%CI = 1.057-1.177, P< 0.001).ConclusionsOnce the patients with septic AKI showed the signs of fluid overload, timely RRT and effective removal of excessive liquid may reverse the adverse prognosis. RRT with negative fluid balance is beneficial for the recovery of renal function, and reduce the mortality in patients with septic AKI, and CRRT model is a good choice.

BACKGROUND: The role of p53 gene in human lung cancer has been confirmed. Since the discovery of p63 gene as the homologue of p53, its role and possible mechanism-have aroused the attention of investigators all over the world. But the principle concerning transcription and expression of p63 in small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) remains unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the level of the expression of p63 gene in SCLC and lung adenocarcinoma tumor tissues, peri-carcinoma tissues and normal tissues, and observe the expression of p63 protein in these tissues so as to understand the principle and clinical significance concerning p63gene expression in SCLC and lung adenocarcinoma.DESIGN: Controlled experiment.SETTING: Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Research Institute of Field Surgery of Daping Hospital of Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Six SCLC specimens dissected during the surgical operation in Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical Univers ity of Chinese PLA, between October 2000 and September 2002 , were recruited. There were 4 male and 2 female patients aged 42 to 67 years (mean age of 50.7years); 15 specimens of lung adenocarcinoma were also collected at the same time. Tumor tissues, peri-carcinoma tissues and normal tissues were chosen in each specimen.METHODS: Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)was used to detect and compare the transcription expression of two subtypes of p63 gene (TAP63 and △NP63)in the tumor tissues of 6 cases of SCLC and 15 cases of lung adenocarcinoma. At the same time, immunohistochemical staining technique was used to detect the expression of p63protein in the above tissues.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Expression of p63 protein detected by RT-PCR in tissue specimens. ② Expression of p63 protein detected in tissue specimens detected by immunohistochemical staining technique.RESULTS: ① Expression of p63 protein detected by RT-PCR in tissue specimens: The positive expression of △Np63 gene could be found in 5cases (83%, 5/6) of SCLC cancer tissues and 1 case of SCLC peri-carcinoma tissues (17%, 1/6), and the expression of TAp63 was not observed in all of the tumor, peri-carcinoma and normal tissues of SCLC. There was no expression of △Np63 or TAp63 in tumor, peri-carcinoma and normal tissues of lung adenocarcinoma. ② Expression of p63 protein detected by immunohistochemical staining in tissue specimens: The positive expression rate of p63 protein in SCLC tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in lung adenocarcinoma tissues [83% (5/6), 17% (1/6), P ＜ 0.01].CONCLUSION: p63 gene shows positive expression in SCLC, among which the expression level of △NP63 is increased while the expression level of p63 protein is obviously higher in SCLC than in adenocarcinoma tissues, which may be related to its regulatory role in the occurrence and development of SCLC. It is presumed that△NP63 gene has high transcription expression level in SCLC, which might inhibit cellular apoptosis, promote the proliferation of tumors, play the role as an oncogene. It suggests that p63 may be one of the factors influencing the prognosis of SCLC.

Auto liver transplantation (ALT) is a treatment option for patients with liver space-occupying lesion that could not be removed by conventional surgery and severe liver trauma,which also helps alleviate the shortage of donor liver.But many problems like the preoperative assessment,the tolerance of patients to surgery and anesthesia,delayed postoperative recovery of the liver function,primary non-function,liver failure and hepatic encephalopathy and even death still need to be addressed.Thus,it is particularly important to evaluate the operative indication,completely and accurately assess the preoperative liver function and liver function reserve,and reduce the perioperative mortality and complication in order to improve the prognosis of ALT.Combined with literalure and the experience in our center,this paper summarized the research advance of preoperative assessment in patients with ALT.

Objective To investigate the safety of preoperative hepatic and regional arterial infusion chemotherapy in the prevention of liver metastasis and improving survival after curative colorectal cancer resection.Methods Patients admitted from 2001 to 2007 with Stage Ⅱ or Stage Ⅲ colorectal cancer were randomly assigned to receive preoperative hepatic and regional arterial infusion chemotherapy (PHRAIC group,n=256)or surgery alone(control group,n=253).Toxity of liver,hematology,immunology and post-operative complication of PHRAIC and the control were evaluated.Results Grade Ⅲ hepatic toxity,leukemia,anemia and platelet decrease in PHRAIC group was 3.1%(8/256),5.5% (14/256),7.4%(19/256)and 6.6%(17/256).There were no grade Ⅳ toxities,and all the patients in PHRAIC group received surgery.Morbidity rate in PHRAIC and the control group was 9.8%(25/256)vs 8.3%(21/253)(X2=1.86,P＞0.05).All patients were followed up,with mean follow up of 42±14 months until Oct 30.2007.For stage Ⅲ patients,5-year overall survival and liver metastasis rate were 81.0% in PHRAIc group vs.60.4% in control group(X2=5.15,P＜0.05)and 18.9%(28/148)vs 27.3%(41/150)(X2=5.41,P＜0.05),respectively.Conclusion Preoperative hepatic and regional arterial infusion chemotherapy 7 days before surgery was safe and could reduce liver metastasis and improve survival rate in patients with Stage Ⅲ colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUNDLocally advanced lung cancer includes IIIA and IIIB lung cancer that tumors are localized within the chest and with no clinic and pathologic distal metastasis. In this study the results of extended resection of a portion of heart or great vessels with cardiopulmonary bypass was summarized in the treatment of locally advanced lung cancer.

METHODSLobectomy or pneumonectomy combined with extended partial excision of the heart or great vessels were carried out in 10 patients with locally advanced lung cancer. The operations included aortic resection and reconstruction with left heart bypass in 2 cases, extended resection of left atrium with normal cardiopulmonary bypass in 5 cases, and resection and reconstruction of superior vena cava in 3 cases respectively.

RESULTSThe patients had no operative complication except for one haemothorax, which was controlled by re-exploration. One patient died of brain metastasis 6 months after operation and another one died of multiple metastasis 26 months after operation. The others were alive.

CONCLUSIONSCPB is a safe and effective anesthetic procedure during extended resection of locally advanced lung cancer although it is controversial for aggravating operative trauma, complex technique and higher cost.

BACKGROUNDTo investigate the expression of p63 gene and its significance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pulmonary benign disease tissues.

METHODSp63 gene mRNA expression (TAp63 and ΔNp63) was detected in 40 NSCLC and 10 pulmonary benign disease tissues by RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase-PCR) technique, and immunohistochemical method was used to observe p63 protein expression in the above tissues.

RESULTSΔNp63 mRNA overexpression was observed in 18 squamous cell carcinoma (18/23), 1 bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (1/6) and 2 paracancerous tissues of squamous cell carcinoma (2/23). There was no expression of TAp63 both in NSCLC and benign disease tissues of the lung. Immunochemistry showed that the positive rate and intensity of p63 protein expression were significantly higher in squamous cell carcinoma than those in adenocarcinoma and benign disease tissues of the lung ( P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSp63 gene is mainly amplified in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. It may act as an oncogene in the carcinogenesis and development of squamous cell carcinoma.
