Objective To study the value of 18F-fluoro-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in diagnosis of patients suspected with gastric malignant tumors. Methods Ten women and fourteen men, with a mean age of (56±15) years (ranged from 28 to 83 years) suspected of gastric malignant tumors were enrolled from May 2007 to July 2007. According to the results of the first time endoscopy and biopsy, patients were divided into gastric cancer group (n=9) and suspected group(n= 15). 18F-FDG PET/CT whole body scan was performed in gastric cancer group for assistant operation and suspected group for further diagnosis. The results of PET/CT for suspected group were all confirmed by the endoscopy later. The final diagnosis was based on pathology and follow-up. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosis of gastric malignant tumors were analyzed, as well as the tumor staging before operation. Results The malignant tumor was found in 16 out of 24 patients who received 18F-FDG PET/CT scan, including 9 in gastric cancer group and 7 in suspected group. Sixteen tumors originated from stomach,and 1 infiltrated the liver, pancreas and omentum. Liver (1 case) and lung (1 case) metastases were found. Three lesions limited in intestine and 13 had positive lymph nodes. Two patiens in suspected group were not diagnosed by PET/CT, one was negative and the other, who suspected as gastric cancer by PET/CT, was pathologicaly confirmed as benign gastrointestinal stromal tumor. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosis of gastric malignant tumors were 16/17, 6/7, 16/17 and 6/7, respectively. Six patients of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ were all detected. Conclusions 18F-FDG PET/CT whole body scan is not only a feasible, safe, noninvasive and promising diagnostic tool in detecting and differentiating gastric cancer from benign tumor, but also can assist the management of disease.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of PDCA cycle management on perioperative prophylactic application of antibiotics in typeⅠincision surgery of orthopedics department. METHODS:In retrospective analysis,512 discharge medical records, 861 ones and 1 070 ones were selected from our hospital before PDCA cycle management(Jan.-Dec. 2013,before intervention group), after first cycle of PDCA cycle management (Jan.-Dec. 2014,first intervention group) and after second cycle of PDCA cycle management(Jan.-Dec. 2015,second intervention group),respectively. The perioperative prophylactic application of antibiotics was analyzed comparatively before and after continuous intervention. RESULTS:After 2 cycles of PDCA cycle management intervention, the constituent ratio of internal fixation in orthopedics department increased significantly;utilization ratio of antibiotics,the rate of rational type,medication ratio 0.5-1 h before surgery,the rate of rational treatment course,the proportion of antibiotics use in accordance with indications increased from 50.20%,98.08%,93.77%,6.61%,82.10% to 58.41%,100%,99.04%,52.00%, 99.04%,respectively. The number of antibiotics type decreased from 4 to 2;the proportion of cephazolin increased significantly while that of clindamycin decreased significantly compared to before intervention. Postoperative prophylactic medication course decreased from(4.63 ± 2.42)d to(1.61 ± 0.75)d;the proportion of patients with medication course <24 h or ranged 24-48 h increased significantly, while those with medication course>72 h decreased significantly, with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:PDCA cycle management improves the rational rate of perioperative prophylactic application of antibiotics in typeⅠincision surgery of orthopedics department in our hospital. The prophylactic medication course of our hospital is not yet fully controlled within 24 h so it should be further intervened.

Objective To investigate the expression of normal epithelial cell-specific-1(NES1) gene in normal gastric epithelial cells and different gastric cancer cell lines and the effects of 5-aza-2-de- oxycytidine(5-aza-dC)on the expression of NES1 gene.Methods Expression of NES1 mRNA in five gastric cancer cell lines(MKN-28,SGC-7901,AGS,MKN-45 and HGC-27)and normal human gastric epithelial cells were detected by real-time PCR.After treatment with 5-aza-dC,a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor,the expression of NES1 mRNA in gastric cancer cell lines was detected by real-time PCR. DNA methylation status of NES1 gene was assayed by methylation-specific PCR(MSP).Results The expression of NES1 mRNA was decreased in all gastric cancer cell lines.A strong correlation between ex on 3 hypermethylation and loss of NES1 mRNA expression in gastric cancer cell lines was noted.5-aza dC treatment of NES1-nonexpressing tumor cell lines resulted in a dose-dependent induction(SGC-7901, MKN-45,MKN-28 and AGS)and increase (HGC-27) of NES1mRNA expression in gastric cancer cells. Conclusions The study suggested that hypermethylation was a responsible factor for tumor-specific loss of NES1 gene expression in gastric cancer cells.Treatment of gastric cancer cell lines with a demethylating agent led to reexpression of NES1 suggesting an important role of hypermethylation in loss of NES1 gene expression.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the efficiency and safety of different regimens by intravesical instillation of epirubicin, a derivative of adriamycin, for the prevention of primary superficial bladder carcinoma from recurrence.
METHODSNinety patients supplemented with intravesical epirubicin instillation after operation were randomly divided into three groups: Group A--80 mg in one dose; Group B--repeated epirubicin 40 mg q wk x 4-8 sessions followed by q month to the end of the second year; or Group C--50 mg q month to the same duration. All patients were followed up for two years by observing the recurrence rates and side effects.
RESULTSThe recurrence rate of groups A, B and C at one year was 16.7%, 13.3% and 16.7%, respectively, without any significant difference observed. However, it was 50.0%, 36.7% and 36.7% at two years, at which time the recurrence rate of group A was significantly higher than those of groups B and C. The side effects rate was 23.3%, 40.0% and 33.3% for groups A, B and C, respectively. The more instillations the patients had, the more severe side effects were.
CONCLUSIONEarly postoperative single high dose intravesical instillation of epirubicin combined with repeated lower doses of the same drug every month may be an efficient and safe regimen to prevent the primary superficial bladder carcinoma from recurrence.

Sorption of carbon tetrachloride (CT) by zero-valent iron (ZVI) is the rate-limiting step in the degradation of CT, so the sorption capacity of ZVI is of great importance. This experiment was aimed at enhancing the sorption of CT by ZVI and the degradation rate of CT by modification of surfactants. This study showed that ZVI modified by cationic surfactants has favorable synergistic effect on the degradation of CT. The CT degradation rate of ZVI modified by cetyl pyridinium bromide (CPB) was higher than that of the unmodified ZVI by 130%, and the CT degradation rate of ZVI modified by cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was higher than that of the unmodified ZVI by 81%. This study also showed that the best degradation effect is obtained at the near critical micelle concentrations (CMC) and that high loaded cationic surfactant does not have good synergistic effect on the degradation due to its hydrophilicity and the block in surface reduction sites. Furthermore degradation of CT by ZVI modified by nonionic surfactant has not positive effect on the degradation as the ionic surfactant and the ZVI modified by anionic surfactant has hardly any obvious effects on the degradation.

OBJECTIVETo identify the risk factors of benign cervical anastomotic strictures after esophagectomy.
METHODSClinical data of 946 esophageal cancer patients undergoing esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis between 2003 and 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. Benign stricture was defined as dysphagia for which endoscopic dilation of the anastomosis was needed. Histologically proven malignant stricture was not regarded as benign stricture. χ(2) test and logistic regression model were used for univariate and multivariate analysis respectively.
RESULTSA total of 146 patients(16.5%) developed benign stricture during follow-up. Univariate analysis showed that the patients with cardiovascular disease (P=0.001), diabetes mellitus(P=0.041), gastric tube reconstruction(P=0.050), end-to-end anastomosis (P=0.013), or postoperative anastomotic leakage(P=0.008) had higher stricture rate. Multivariate analysis revealed that cardiovascular disease(P=0.004), gastric tube reconstruction (P=0.026), end-to-end anastomosis(P=0.043), and postoperative anastomotic leakage(P=0.001) were independently predictive factors for development of benign stricture.
CONCLUSIONSThe benign cervical stricture rate after esophagetomy with cervical gastric anastomosis is quite high. In order to prevent benign stricture formation, end-to-end anastomosis should be avoid. Blood pressure should be controlled for those with cardiovascular disease. Endoscopic dilation in an earlier stage postoperatively should be considered for those who develop anastomotic leakage.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy differences between acupoint catgut-embedding combined western medicine (ACCWM) and simple western medicine (WM) for treatment of epilepsy of generalized seizures type.
METHODSFifty-two patients with epilepsy of generalized seizures type were randomly divided into an ACCWM group (n=30) and a WM group (n=22). Dazhui (GV 14), Yaoshu (GV 2), Jiuwei (CV 15), Qihai (CV 6) were selected in the ACCWM group as the main acupoints combined with routine antiepileptic drugs, Valpromide was taken orally, 2.0 g/d for adult, 50 mg/kg x d for child. The WM group was treated with routine antiepileptic drugs. The epilepsy score and the attack frequency one year before the treatment and one year during treatment were observed and the therapeutic effects in the two groups were compared.
RESULTSThe epilepsy score and the attack frequency were both decreased in the two groups (P<0.01, P<0.05), and the epilepsy score in the ACCWM group decreased significantly (6.57 +/- 3.29 vs 10.73 +/- 2.54, P<0.05). The total effective rate of 90.0% (27/30) in the ACCWM group was superior to that of 68.2% (15/22) in the WM group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe therapeutic effect of ACCWM is superior to that of simple western medicine in treating epilepsy of generalized seizures type. It can improve significantly the attack symptoms so as to enhance life quality of the patients with epilepsy.
