Gastrointestinal stromal tumor( GIST)is the most common gastrointestinal mesenchymal neoplasm and accounts approximately 18% of all mesenchymal neoplasms and 1% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms. Morbidity of GIST is about 1-2 per hundred thousand per year. The recurrence rate 5 years after complete resection of malignant GIST is up to 50%,and the median survival of metastatic GIST is only 9 months. Nowadays,endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)is the first choice management for upper digestive tract GIST with diameter ≤2 cm,however,because of its high degree malignancy,surgical resection is the choice for GIST with diameter > 2 cm,and adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors can be used in case with high risks and difficulties in surgical removal. This article reviewed the advances in study on treatment of GIST.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of different doses of obestatin on amylase secretion of pancreatic acinar and lobules of rats in vitro.MethodsPancreatic acinar cells of rats were separated in vitro and incubated with different doses of obestatin (0,0.1,1,10,30 nmol/L) for 1h,another group of pancreatic acinar ceils was incubated with obestatin for 30 min,then was incubated with 100 pmol/L CCK-8 for another 30 min.Pancreatic lobules,which containing intrapancreatic nerve terminals and islets,were prepared and were incubated with different concentrations of obestatin for 30 min at 37℃ with or without 75 mmol/L KCl.Amylase levels in the supernatants,acinar cells and pancreatic lobules were calculated as a percentage of total amylase content.ResultsObestatin (0,0.1,1,10,30 nmol/L) produced no significant change in basal amylase release of acinar cells [ (3.48 ± 1.44) ％,(3.70 ±- 1.39) ％,(3.36 ± 1.24) ％,(3.86 ± 1.41 ) ％,(4.54 ± 2.01 ) ％ ].CCK-8 significantly increased amylase release of acinar cells [ ( 13.84 ± 2.63 ) ％ vs (3.48 ± 1.44)％,P ＜0.05],but obestatin (0.1,1,10 nmol/L) has no effect on the amylase release inducedby CCK-8 [(14.55 ± 1.7)％,(13.79 ± 1.81)％,(14.39 ± 1.12)％].Obestatin (0.1,1,10,30 nmol/L) did not affect the amylase release of pancreatic lobuole.KCl significantly increased anylase release,which was ( 1.84 ± 0.29 ) folds higher than that of control group ( P ＜ 0.05 ),but obestatin has no effect on the amylase release induced by KCl,which were (2.01 ± 0.30 ),( 1.89 ± 0.41 ),( 1.74 ± 0.14 ),( 1.88± 0.33) folds higher than those of control group.ConclusionsExogenous obestatin has no effects on pancreatic exocrine of acinar cells and lobules of rats in vitro and cannot block or assist the increased amylase release induced by CCK-8 or KCl.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of various forms of psychological intervention on psychological stress,mental state and treatment process of out- patients. Methods 198 outpatients from February 2010 to July 2011 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 99 cases in each group.The control group received conventional treatment and care.The observation group was given multiple forms of psychological intervention on the basis of conventional treatment and care.Both groups were taken with Zung Anxiety Rating Scale (SAS)and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)to measure the psychological stress and the degree of anxiety before and after treatment.The total efficiencies of various disorders for the two groups before and after the diagnosis and treatment were compared. ResultsThere were no significant differences in SAS score and HAMA scores before psychological intervention.After the intervention,the SAS score and HAMA score in the control group were significantly higher than the observation group.The total effective rate after a course of treatment in the observation group was 90.6％.The total efficiency in the control group was 78.8％,which was significantly lower than that of the observation group. ConclusionsThe multiple forms of psychological intervention can reduce the mental stress,ease the patients' emotional state and improve the patients' therapy effect at the same period for out-patients.

Objective To investigate the stent occlusion rate and its risk factor in chronic pancreatitis (CP). Methods From November 2006 to January 2010 a total of 77 pancreatic endoprostheses from 64 patients with CP were tested by simulating the pathophysiologically increased main pancreatic duct (MPD)pressure. The water flow during 15 seconds was recorded 4 times at a pressure of 10 cm water. Kaplan Meier method was used to evaluate the univariate relationship between risk factor and stent occlusion, and Cox regression survival analysis was used to evaluate the multivariate relationship between risk factor and stent occlusion. Results 64 patients with CP were included, with 43 males and 21 females, the mean age was 38 years (range, 4 ～ 80 years). The stents had been placed for a mean of 263 days ( range 26 ～ 759 days).Average stent diameter was 8F (range, 5 ～ 10 F). The overall occlusion rate was 67.5% (52/77), the nonocclusion rates at 90, 180, 360, 540 d were 96. 1% (74/77) , 72.7% (56/77) ,58.4% (45/77) and 35.1% (27/77). In the Cox regression analysis, endoprosthesis diameter ≥8.5F was shown to be the only risk factors for stent occlusion. Conclusions A significant proportion of stents placed after 180 d were not occluded, and were significantly lower than those reported from similar studies overseas. Pancreatic endoprosthesis diameter ≥8. 5F was prone to occlusion.

Investigate the cleaning ability of manual ProTaper on mandibular second molars with C-shaped (c-shaped root) or normal root canal(separated root). Twenty mandibular second molars with C-shaped root or with separated roots were sectioned at 3.0, 5.5 and 8.0 mm from the root apex. The images of pre-preparation and F1, F2, and F3-prepapared of manual ProTaper were captured respectively. The cross-sectional areas of the canals were measured and the formula of area after treatment/area before treatment was used to calculate the area ratio. The data were analyzed by SPSS 10.0. The results showed that there was no statistically difference between cross-section root canal area ratios in two groups. Significant differences were found between the cross-section canal area ratio of F1 and F2, F1 and F3 at section 5 mm of S group, and F1 and F3 at section 3 mm of C group. The results suggested that the increasing of cross-section ratio of the two kinds of canals was not obviously concerned with their anatomical morphology.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations, etiology and risk factors of chronic pancreatitis guided by the M-ANNHEIM classification of chronic pancreatitis and to evaluate the validity and clinical significance of this classification. Methods A review of clinical data of inpatients in our hospital from December 2007 to December 2009 was conducted. The classification was carried out according to the pancreatitis were enrolled. There were 256 adult patients and 51 children and adolescent patients (age of onset<18 yr). Among these cases, 129(42%) reported a drinking history. 110 cases (35.8%) had a smoking history, 31 cases (10.1%) presented with hyperlipoidemia. 12 cases had some factors related to pancreatic duct such as pancreas divisum, pancreas trauma. There were 231 (75.2%) cases with calcification of pancreas, 45 (14.7%) with exocrine insufficiency (steatorrhea), 58 (18.9%) with endocrine dysfunction (diabetes mellitus), 32 (10.4%) underwent pancreatic surgeries, and 39 (12.7%) with pancreatic pseudocysts, biliary obstruction, pancreatic cancer and other severe complications. The M-ANNHEIM clinical staging of chronic pancreatitis was: no case in stage 0, 220(71.7%) cases in stage Ⅰ , 69(22.5%) cases in stage Ⅱ ,12(3.9%) cases in stage Ⅲ and 6 cases in stage Ⅳ. The mean value of the M-ANNHEIM score and severity index was 7.78,69 (22.5%) cases were in the minor level, 174 (56.7%) were in the increased level,62(20.2%) cases were in the advanced level. Conclusions The M-ANNHEIM classification of chronic pancreatitis is a simple, objective, accurate and noninvasive tool in clinical practice. This new classification system will be helpful for investigating the impact and interaction of various risk factors on the course of the disease.

Objective To detect the expression of HBV in human early embryos of infertility patients combined with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection after undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment,so as to provide reliable evidence for the vertical transmission of HBV through human germ cells.Methods We collected the abandoned early embryos of patients combined with HBV infection after undergoing IVF-ET treatment in the department of reproductive medicine of the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province,total genomic DNA was obtained by single cell PCR,and then polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the expression of HBV-DNA and covalently closed circular DNA of hepatitis B virus (HBV-cccDNA) in early embryos.Results Both HBV-DNA and HBV-cccDNA were detected in the early embryo among the mother or father or parents HBV infected patients.The positive detection rate of HBV-DNA in mother,father and parents HBV infected patients was 78.9％,76.3％ and 100％,and the positive rate of HBV-cccDNA was 63.2％,78.9％ and 100％.The difference between the mother and the father was not significant (P＞O.05).However,the positive rate in parents HBV infected patients group was significantly higher than the mother or father group,showing a significant difference (P＜0.05).Conclusion HBV can be transmitted from mother or father to early embryos via IVF-ET treament,and the risk of vertical transmission increases significantly when the couple are HBV infected.

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a common clinical disease causing vision loss. Risk factors such as diabetes, atherosclerosis are closely associated with RVO. Xuesaitong injection is used extensively in clinical treatment of RVO, however the mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of Xuesaitong injection on RVO rat model. Using a compound-target network of Xuesaitong on anti-RVO constructed by literature mining, we aim to elucidate the multi-compound, multi-target effect of Xuesaitong injection. Fifteen potential targets of Xuesaitong injection associated with inflammation, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and coagulation were identified in this study. VEGF, IL-1beta and IL-6, three important targets in the compound-target network were further experimentally validated. This study provided experimental evidence for Xuesaitong injection being effective in treating RVO and a network view on its anti-RVO mode of action through a multi-compound and multiple-target mechanism.
