Efficacy evaluation of laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision for transverse colon cancer / 中华胃肠外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the safety, feasibility and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision for the transverse colon cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data of 61 patients who underwent laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision for transverse colon cancer (transverse group) in our department from January 2011 to January 2014 were retrospectively analyzed, which were compared with those of 155 patients undergoing laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision for ascending colon cancer (ascending group) and 230 patients undergoing laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision for sigmoid colon cancer (sigmoid group). Differences in operative details, postoperative recovery, postoperative complications and long-term survival among 3 groups were evaluated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>No significant differences in the baseline information were found among 3 groups(all P>0.05). The average operative time was significantly longer in transverse group as compared to ascending group and sigmoid group [(192.1±58.7) min vs. (172.2±54.7) min and (169.1±53.6) min]( P<0.05), while the blood loss [(89.7±63.6) ml, (86.3±66.3) ml, (82.6±61.5) ml], conversion rate [3.3%(2/61), 2.6%(4/155), 2.2%(5/230)], number of harvested lymph node (13.0±4.7, 14.4±6.5, 13.4±5.6), time to flatus [(2.7±1.1) d, (2.6±1.1) d, (2.5±1.0) d], time to liquid diet [(3.0±1.7) d, (2.8±1.5) d, (2.7±1.4) d], incidence of postoperative complication(6.6%, 9.0%, 11.7%), and hospital stay [(11.6±5.8) d, (10.7±5.8) d, (10.6±5.7) d] among 3 groups were not significantly different (all P>0.05). A total of 436 patients received postoperative follow-up of median 36 (5 to 67) months. The overall 5-year survival rate was 73.1%, 73.7% and 74.8%, and the 5-year disease-free survival rate was 71.5%, 71.1% and 72.7% in transverse, ascending and sigmoid colon cancer groups respectively, whose differences were not significant among 3 groups (all P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision for transverse colon cancer is safe and feasible with slightly longer operation time, and has quite good long-term oncologic efficacy.</p>

Effects of miRNA-25 on proliferation of human esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma cell line TE1 / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM:To investigate the effects and mechanisms of microRNA-25 (miRNA-25) on the proliferation of human esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma cell line TE1.METHODS: The abundance of miRNA-25 in different tis-sues was measured by RT-PCR.After silencing or over-expression of miRNA-25 with mimics or inhibitor in TE1 cells, the cell proliferation, cell cycle distribution and the expression of cyclin E1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) at mRNA and protein levels were measured by CCK-8 assay, BrdU detection, flow cytometry, RT-PCR and Western blot, respective-ly.RESULTS:miRNA-25 was prominent in esophageal mucosal tissue and highly expressed in TE1 cells (P<0.05).O-ver-expression of miRNA-25 increased TE1 cell proliferation, promoted the cell cycle progression and enhanced the en-trance of the cells into S phase (P<0.05).Inverse results were obtained after down-regulation of miRNA-25 (P<0.05). Furthermore, the expression of cyclin E1 and CDK2 at mRNA and protein levels was significantly increased after over-ex-pression of miRNA-25, but decreased after down-regulation of miRNA-25 (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: miRNA-25 en-hances cell cycle transition by increasing the expression of cyclin E1 and CDK2, thus accelerating TE1 cell proliferation. This study provides a novel mechanism by which miRNA-25 increases the proliferation of human esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma cell line TE1, suggesting that down-regulation of miRNA-25 may be a potential new therapeutic strategy for trea-ting esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma.

Clinical experience in restoring stenosed hilar bile duct by gallbladder lamella with cystic artery / 国际外科学杂志

Objective To investigate the surgical procedure of restoring stenosed hilar bile duct by gallbladder lamella with cystic artery.Methods Based on extensive incising and hilar cholangioplasty,stenosed hilar bile duct was restored by gallbladder lamella with cystic artery.Results Among all the 12 pa tients,including 10 intrahepatic bile duct calculi patients,1 right hepatic duct injury and 1 left intrahepatic chaolangiocarcinoma,no cystic fistula,reflexed cholangitis and recurrent stone were noticed by post operative follow-up.Conclusion This procedure is a ideal method by remaining the normal function of Oddis sphincter while removing stenosis.

Research on the modeling of biological valves poppet / 生物医学工程学杂志

In this paper are described the construction of biological valves poppet and the establishment of mathematical model according to cardiac valves hydrokinetics and the theory of membrane. Finite elements of biological valves leaflets connected with biological valves poppet are analyzed. The method of constructing geometric model is reasonable. CAD of biological valves poppet is realized by structured programming and parameterization.
