Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the indication,methods,safety and efficacy of hepatic resection for metastatic carcinoma of the liver. Methods Sixty-nine consecutive hepatic resections in 67 patients with secondary carcinoma of the liver were reviewed. Results One case died and operative mortality rate was 1.5 %.Median follow-up was 5 years, ranging from 1 to 7 years. The 1、3、5-year survival rates for all patients were 28.36%、 19.40% 、and 11.94% respectively. The survival rate of over 5-years in the hepatic resection for metastatic colorectal carcinoma was 21.43%. Conclusions Surgical resection of metastatic disease to liver is not only safe but also curative. We recommend that for any patient with metastatic carcinoma of the liver, an anatomic distribution of tumors to preserve hepatic function after resection and fitness to withstand the procedure should be considered for resection.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics,pathologic change,surgical treatment and survival rate of primary hepatic carcinoma complicated with cancer embolus of biliary tract (PHC-CEBT).Methods Case analysis data,clinical manifestation and pathological findings of 16 cases of PHC were comprehensively analyzed in our hospital.Results No death case was seen after resection. The survival time of 2 patients without tumor resection were 2 5～4 5 months,other 14 patients with tumor resection were 1～4 5 years.Conclusions Surgical operation treatment of PHC-CEBT is effective,it can increase the survival rate and improve life quality.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of tracking movement of normal patellar using volume scan on sensation 320 CT. Method Data of dynamic scans of 30 knees was collected using the motor function of 320 CT and retrospectively analyzed. The data of movement of the patellorfemoral joint was obtained during flexion (from 0° to 120°) within 10-sec by 320 CT from all volunteers. The 3D coordinate of the center of patella was recorded to investigate the dispose relation of patellofemoral joint.Result With the knee angle changed from 0° to 90°, the patella moved rapidly along the Y-axis direction ( sagittal plane) down about (53.87 ± 0. 45 ) mm, and then entered the plateau phase with little change.When the knee flexion reached 10°-30° ,the patellar movement along the X-axis reached the largest range of (2. 31 ±0. 52)-(3.36 ± 0. 43 ) mm, and subsequently moved to the opposite lateral direction with the maximum about (8. 53 ± 0. 44 ) mm at 120°. In the Z axis, the track initially showed plateau, and then presented a rapidly downward trend after 30°. The patellar tracking is like an outward arc during the whole knee flexion. Conclusion The motor functional imaging of 320 CT can pinpoint the patelar tracking in a fast, painless way.

Objective To discuss the value of double-row allograft bone suture anchor in repair of rotator cuff injury. Methods Under assistance of arthroseope, 16 cases of rotator cuff lesions were repaired by using double-row allograft bone suture anchors. There were 10 males and 6 females at average age of 44 years (32-58 years). According to Bigliani classification, there were 6 cases of small ruptures, 8 medial ruptures and 2 large ruptures. After rotator cuff was trimmed and acromial bone was re-shaped under arthroscopy, 2 bone anchors attached to suture lines were implanted in the attachment point of rotate cuff of humerus greater tuberosity side by side. Then, the 4 ends of the 2 suture lines were vertically sutured through tendon of supraspinatus mnscle and tied separately, crossing the 4 ends of 2 knots and penetrated each 2 ends into one bone anchor. Finally, these 2 bone anchors were embedded into 2 predrilled bone holes which were parallel to the former 2 anchors and lower in humerus greater tuberosity. Thus, a web was formed and overlapped on the ruptured rotator cuff. The number of bone anchors was according to the size of rupture. Results All cases were followed up for average 14 months (6-23 months). The mean UCLA score was (21.30±5.6) points preoperatively and (32.4±5.8) points postoperatively. The function of shoulders recovered well, with no pain, recurrence or pulling out of bone anchor. Function was excellent in 10 cases, good in 5 and fair in 1. Conclusions As for repair of rotator cuff injury, double-row bone-anchors under arthroscope can provide a tendon-bone interface better suited for biologic healing of rotator cuff. Bone suture anchor can not leave any foreign object residual and costs less.

AIM: To study the relation ship between stress and lung injury caused by acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis(AHNP) through AHNP model.METHODS: The AHNP model was made by using 5% sodium taurocholate retrograded injection into biliopancreatic duct in SD rats. Those rats were divided into three groups randomly, from A to C, the A group undertook sham operations, the B group was made into AHNP model, and the C group was given Metyrapone. The level of corticosteroid, CRP and amylase in serum had been observed. The lung and pancreas histological examinations were also performed.RESULTS: In C group, the level of corticosteroid, CRP and amylase were much lower than those in B group. The grade of lung and pancreas injury were also lower than those in B group(P

Malignant pheochromocytomas are rare tumors that arise from chromaffin tissue, and the diagnostic criterion of malig-nancy is based on the development of metastases. In the case a patient suffers the tumor with liver, lung and bone metastases. However, the test results of tumor markers, gastroscopy, chest and abdominal CT, and PET-CT examination are hard to make a definite diagnosis. The patient was finally diagnosed with malignant pheochromocytoma with liver, lung and bone metastases following the needle biopsy of liver and underwent the excision of a right adrenal pheochromocytoma. Therapeutic standard for the malignant pheochromocytomas is not available so far. It is reported that chemotherapeutic CVD regimen (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and daecarbazine) and suni-tinib may be effectual in the alike cases. The patient received two cycles of CVD and one cycle of sunitinib, nevertheless, slow progres-sion of the disease remained after the treatment. The results of multi-disciplinary treatment have suggested that 131I-MIBG may just be a choice for this patient.

Objective To assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNPs) in SLCO1B3 gene with prognosis of breast cancer (BC) patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy of TA regimen (taxane and antharcycline drugs). Methods 439 female BC patients were recruited and treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy of TA regimen.A blood sample (2 ml) of peripheral blood was collected from each patient before chemotherapy. Tagging SNPs (tag?SNPs) were selected. We investigated the association of tag?SNPs with prognosis, by Sequenom Mass ARRAY system platform, characterizing tag?SNPs. The hazard ratio ( HR ) and 95% confidence interval ( CI ) for progression or death were calculated by multivariable?adjusted Cox regression model. Results Seven tag?SNPs ( rs11045689, rs200104106, rs3764006, rs3834935, rs4149117, rs7305323 and rs73241801) were selected for study. Compared with individuals carrying the rs11045689 GG genotype, individuals carrying rs11045689 AA genotype performed worse PFS and OS, with the HR (95% CI) for progression being 1.39 (1.11～1.75) and the HR (95% CI) for death being 1.38 ( 1.04～1.83). Compared with individuals carrying the rs73241801 CC genotype, individuals carrying rs73241801 TT genotype performed better OS (P＝0.041), with the HR (95% CI) for death being 0.65 (0.44～0.94). The number of risk allele was significantly associated with PFS (P＝0.012) and OS (P＝0.017) of BC patients by accumulation analysis. Compared with individuals carrying one or less than one risk allele, individuals carrying four risk alleles performed worse PFS and OS, with the HR (95%CI) for progression being 1.37 (1.09～1.72) and the HR ( 95% CI) for death being 1.36 (1.02～1.81). Conclusion The variations of rs11045689 and rs73241801 in SLCO1B3 gene were significantly associated with prognosis of BC patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy of TA regimen, which might serve as biomarkers for predicting prognosis of BC patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
