Objective To study the results of laparotomy and Cool-tip radiofrequency ablation to treat large liver tumors.Methods Laparotomy and Cool-tip radiofrequency ablation were carried out on 64 patients with large hepatic cancer.To destroy the tumor completely,for tumors of 3.0～4.0 cm in diameter,7 ablations were required; for 4.0～5.0 cm in diameter 15 ablations; for 5.0～6.0 cm in diameter 19 ablations; for 6.0～7.0 cm in diameter 40 ablations.Result The complete necrosis rate of laparotomy and radiofrequency ablation was 93.75％ (60/64).The short-term results were good.Conclusions Laparotomy and Cool-tip multipoint overlapping radiofrequency ablation for large liver tumors (tumor diameter＞3 cm) could result in a high complete necrosis rate and a low complication rate.It is a good radical treatment for unresectable and large liver cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of rAd-p53 injection on the proliferation,apoptosis and autophagy of nephroblas-toma cells. METHODS:Nephroblastoma cells were respectively cultured 20 h with high,medium,low concentration(1×109,1× 108,1×107 VP/mL)of Recombinant human rAd-p53 injection,cells with no injection were the blank control. Cell proliferation,cy-cle,apoptosis and related gene p21,Bax protein expressions were detected,and autophagy gene LC-3,Atg7,Atg12 expressions and number of autophagosomes were also detected. RESULTS:The proliferation inhibition rates of high,medium,low concentra-tion of Recombinant human rAd-p53 injection to nephroblastoma cells were(42.86±3.18)%,(33.64±7.25)%,(16.26±9.07)%;apoptotic rates were (53.85 ± 9.36)%,(37.35 ± 9.64)%,(23.64 ± 10.65)%,respectively. Compared with blank control,cells at period G0/G1 were increased under high,medium,low concentration Recombinant human rAd-p53 injection,effects were relatively obvious under high,medium concentration (P<0.05 or P<0.01);p21,Bax protein and LC-3,Atg7,Atg12 gene expressions were enhanced under high concentration,the number of autophagosomes was increased(P<0.01);Bax protein expression was en-hanced under medium concentration(P<0.05),the other indicators had no obvious changed(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Recom-binant human rAd-p53 injection can inhibit the cell proliferation of nephroblastoma,and induce its apoptosis and autophagy.

Objective To investigate the effects of improved end-to-end invagination pancreaticojejunostomy on the occurrence of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods The clinical data of 396 patients who received pancreaticoduodenectomy at the Cancer Hospital of Shandong Province from January 2001 to January 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into the improved group(235 patients)and traditional group(161 patients)according to different anastomotic methods.All the operations were done by the same surgical group,and the digestive tract was reconstructed by the Child method.Patients in the improved group received improved end-to-end invagination pancreaticojejunostomy,and patients in the traditional group received traditional end-to-end anastomosis.The volume of operative bleeding,operation time,incidence of pancreatic fistula and duration of hospital stay of the 2 groups were compared.All data were analyzed using the t test,chisquare test or Fisher exact probability.Results The operative blood loss,operation time and duration of hospital stay were(383 ±56)ml,(7.2 ± 1.0)hours,(21 ±3)days in the improved group,and(381 ±39)ml,(7.0 ± 0.5)hours,(22 ± 5)days in the traditional group,with no significant difference between the 2 groups(t =0.388,1.680,-1.835,P ＞ 0.05).No operative death was detected in the 2 groups,and the overall incidence of pancreatic fistula was 7.6％(30/396).The incidence of pancreatic fistula of the improved group was 0(0/235),which was significantly lower than 18.6％(30/161)of the traditional group(P ＜ 0.05).Patients complicated with pancreatic fistula in the traditional group were cured by drainage,somatostatin administration and parenteral nutrition.Conclusion Improved end-to-end invagination pancreaticojejunostomy can significantly reduce the incidence of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

BACKGROUND:Retinoic acid is the most promising inducer for neuroblastoma minimal residual lesion, and it can induce cel differentiationin vivo, accompanied by reducing tumor cel proliferation.
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of nanoparticle labeling on biological characteristics of neuroblastoma stem cels, and the role of 13-cis retinoic acid to induce differentiation of neuroblastoma stem cels.
METHODS:Neuroblastoma stem cels were isolated and culturedin vitro using serum-free suspension culture method, labeled with polylysine-modified γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles and induced in culture medium containing 13-cis retinoic acid. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of Oct-4 before and after labeling as wel as before and after induction. Immunofluorescence method was used to detect the expression of nestin before and after labeling as wel as before and after induction.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Neuroblastoma stem cels were successfuly cultured in the bone marrow samples from 5 of 20 cases. Polylysine-modified γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticle labeling did no influence the viability and proliferation ability of neuroblastoma stem cels, and also had no effect on Oct-4 mRNA and nestin expression. After cultured in the culture medium containing 13-cis retinoic acid, the cel shape changed and the growth rate slowed down. Moreover, the expression of Oct-4 mRNA and nestin was gradualy reduced. These findings indicate that polylysine-modified gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles can be used to label neuroblastoma stem cels, and 13-cis retinoic acid can induce the differentiation of neuroblastoma stem cels.

Objective To explore the CT manifestations of pediatric mesenechymal hamartoma of liver (MHL).Methods Clinical data of 15 cases with MHL confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.All children were performed with CT scans including plain and enhanced scans,and the imaging features were analyzed.Results All the lesions were solitary,and 9 masses located at the right lobe of liver,4 located at the left lobe,the others located at both right and left lobe.The maximum diameter of lesions was from 5 cm to 30 cm,with an average of (11.52±6.84) cm.Ten cases were cystic and solid mixed,5 cases were solid.After contrast administration,the solid component and the septa of the masses showed enhancement while no enhancement was observed in the cystic component.Two cases had the spot-like calcification.Conclusion MHL has some special characteristics in the CT scan before surgery,which should be differentiated from other cystic and solid tumors of live.Some MHLs can be diagnosed when combined with the clinical information and CT images.

ObjectiveTo investigate the managements of complications during and after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for esophageal achalasia (EA).MethodsData of 119 EA patients who underwent POEM from October 2010 to July 2011 were collected.Complications during and after POEM and during follow-up were analyzed.Results Complications during operation included bleeding in 19 patients ( 16.0％ ),mucosa rupture in 9 (7.6％),mediastinal and subcutaneous emphysema in 27 (22.7％ ) and pneumothorax in 3 (2.5％ ).Complications occurred at the night of procedure included pain in 43 (36.1％ ) patients and pneumothorax in 7 ( 5.9％ ).Postoperative complications included asymptomatic pneumothorax in 23 patients (19.3％),delayed hemorrhage in 1(0.8％),pleural effusion in 58 (48.7％ ),minor pulmonary inflammation or segmental atelectasis in 59 (49.6％),emphysema of mediasti-na and subcutaneous tissue in 76 (63.9％ ),and gas under diaphragm or aeroperitoneum in 47 (39.5％ ).Complications during follow-up included one case of dysphagia caused by stricture of mucosa and one case of dehiscence at the tunnel entry with food retention.No POEM-correlated death occurred.All the complications were cured by conservative treatments.No additional surgery was needed.ConclusionMain complications as emphysema of mediastina and subcutaneous tissue,pneumothorax,aeroperitoneum and bleeding during and after POEM can be treated timely and effectively with conservative treatment.

ObjectiveTo evaluate a second endoscopy for prevention of delayed bleeding after ESD.MethodsData of 67 patients with gastric epithelial neoplasms undergoing ESD from May to November 2011 were reviewed.The median age was 63 ( 31 ～ 84) years.All patients were followed up by endoscopy on the first and the third day after ESD.ResultsOf 67 lesions,5 were located at cardia,6 at gastric body,3 at fundus,35 at antrum,16 at gastric angle,and 2 at residual stomach.The mean maximum diameter of the lesions was 3.73±4 1.24 (2.0 ～ 7.0) cm.There were no intraoperative complications.Post-ESD delayed bleeding was detected by endoscopy in 6 (9.0％ ) patients,with 5 on the third day and 1 on the fourth day.Forrest grading showed 2 cases of Ⅰ b,and 4 of Ⅱ b.All 6 cases were cured by endoscopy.The incidence of postoperative bleeding was far more than that evaluated based on the patients' clinical manifestations only.But therapeutic effect and saffety were the same according to the follow-up results.ConclusionIncidence of post-ESD bleeding is high,but there are no symptoms or severe consequences,so a second endoscopy after gastric ESD may contribute little to the prevention of delayed bleeding.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for postoperative stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early stage esophageal cancer.Methods The data of 362 patients with early esophageal cancer treated by ESD from January 2007 to February 2012 were reviewed to investigate the risk factors of postoperative stricture.Results Esophageal stricture after ESD occurred in 42 patients (11.6％)with a mean time from ESD to stricture of (58.5 ± 12.3) days.The rates of mild,median and severe stricture were 16.7％ (7/42),38.1％ (16/42) and 45.2％ (19/42),respectively.Multivariate analysis revealed that lesion range ＞ 3/4 esophageal circumference (odds ration [OR]:44.2 ; 95％ confidence interval [CI]:4.4-443.6) and tumor invasion beyond m2 (OR:14.2; 95 ％ CI:2.7-74.2) were independent risk factors.Stricture level was related to lesion's circumferential extension (relational coefficient (φ) =0.47,P ＜ 0.05) and tumor invasion depth (relational coefficient (φ) =0.647,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Circumferential extension and invasion depth of early esophageal cancer were independent risk factors for post-ESD esophageal stricture and related with the degree of stricture.
