ABSTRACT
Objective To study the postoperative recovery of different surgical approaches for patients with cardia cancer.Methods From January 2011 to March 2016,174 cases of patients with cardia cancer were selected and divided into observation group (76 cases) and control group (98 cases).The patients of control group received via thoracic approach surgery,while those of observation group were given abdominal approach surgery.The operationtime,intraoperative blood loss,dissected lymph node numbers,postoperative hospital stay,hospitalization expense,positive rate of surgical margin,radical operation rate,perioperative mortality,pulmonary complications,operative incision infection rate and anastomotic fistula rate of two groups were compared.Results There were no significant differences of intraoperative blood loss and operation time,positive rate of surgical margin,radical operation rate,perioperative mortality,postoperative pneumothorax rate,hydropneumothorax rate,pyothorax rate,operative incision infection rate and anastomotic fistula rate between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).There were significant differences of the dissected lymph node numbers,postoperative hospital stay,hospitalization expense,postoperative hydrothorax rate,postoperative pneumonia rate,total pulmonary complications rate and total complications rate between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Abdominal approach for patients with cardia cancer,compared to via thoracic approach surgery,presents advantages in terms of dissected lymph nodes,postoperative hospital stay,hospitalization expense,postoperative pneumonia rate,hydrothrax rate,total pulmonary complications rate and total postoperative complications rate.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of knocking-down microRNA-221 (miR-221) expression on the radiosensitivity of human colorectal carcinoma cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Human colorectal carcinoma-derived cell line Caco2 was transfected with miR-221 antisense oligonucleotides (anti-miR-221) via Lipofectamine 2000. Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to detect the expression of miR-221 and PTEN mRNA in Caco2 cells. The changes in the protein expression of PTEN in the transfected cells were detected by Western blotting. The cell death after transfection and irradiation was detected by flow cytometry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Transfection with anti-miR-221 caused a significant reduction in miR-221 expression (P<0.05) and up-regulated PTEN protein expression (P<0.05) in Caco2 cells. The percentage of cell death was significantly increased in anti-miR-221 group and anti-miR-221 with irradiation group (P<0.01). Anti-miR-221 significantly enhanced the radiosensitivity of Caco2 cells, which was partially reversed by PTEN-siRNA.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Anti-miR-221 can enhance the radiosensitivity of colorectal carcinoma cells by up-regulating the expression of PTEN.</p>

Objective To discuss the technology of modest isolating and enriching the intestinal epithelial stem cells. Methods Mouse intestinal epithelial cells were stained by Rhodamine 123 (Rho), sorting the Rhodamine 123 low staining cell population ( Rholow ) and Rhodamine 123 strong straining cell population ( Rhobri ) by fluorescence activated cell sorting(FACS) in flow cytometer; Detecting the musaashi-1 and p-glycoprotein 1 (p-g-p1) mRNA expression of two groups by RT-PCR; Analyzing the cell cycle and the percentage of the musashi-1 positive cells by flow cytometry. Results The intestinal epithelial cells were divided into three groups, Rhodamine 123 low staining cells( 12. 34% of total cells), Rhodamine 123 middle staining cells (45.26% of total cells) and Rhodamine 123 strong staining cells ( 41. 40% of total cells). The Rholow cell fraction and Rhobri cell fraction were isolated successfully. Both of musashi-1 and p-g-p1 mRNA were strongly expressed in Rho1ow cell fraction, and Rhobri cell fraction little expressed p-g-p1 mRNA. Most of Rho1ow cells were in G0/G1 phase, and the musashi-1 positive cells were about 10.37% of total cells in this fraction. Conclusion The intestinal epithelial stem cells can be modestly isolated and enriched by Rhodamine 123 staining.
ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the spreading scope of rectal cancer to mesorectum by RT PCR using carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA as a marker and to investigate the excision scope of mesorectum in resection of rectal cancer. Methods Forty specimens from 40 rectal cancer patients who underwent curative operation was employed to detect the metastatic deposits scattered in the mesorectum by RT PCR using CEA as a marker. Results Nine of 40 (22.5%) specimens contained metastatic deposits scattered in the mesorectum. The metastasis was just within the range of 4cm mesorectum under the verge of tumor. The tumor spreading to mesorectum is correlated with Dukes stages,the infiltrated depth of bowel wall, tumor differentiation and tumor type( P 0.05). Conclusion The excision of mesorectum should be within the range of 5cm under the verge of tumor in surgical management of rectal cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the clinical data of 45 cases of familial adenomatous polyposis(FAP) and the experiences of treatment and diagnosis of FAP. Methods Retrospectively analyzed of the clinical data was made on 45 FAP patients.The choice of operative procedure included total colectomy+ileostomy in 25 cases,subtotal colectomy+rectal polyposis electrocautery in 15,and total colectomy with ileo-anal anastomosis in 5. Results Average age of patients at first diagnosis was 33.5 years. A family history was found in 35 patients. Bleeding, diarrhea, pain are common clinical presentations, and the numbers of polyposis were all more than 100. All patients without malignant change survived for 3-21years;and metastasis of liver was the main cause of death in patients with malignant change. There were age differences between malignant and non malignant group. Conclusions FAP lacks typical clinical presentation, and misdiagnosis is not uncommon. Surgical therapy should be done on an individual basis and according to the actual condition of patients.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the expression and effects of RSp1 and ?-catenin in the intestinal epithelium with intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury(IIRI)in of mouse.Methods Fifty healthy male kunming mice were randomly divided into control group(n=10)and experimental group(n=40).All mice in control group were only subjected to laparotomy,while the other mice underwent 20 minutes of intestinal mesenteric artery occlusion followed by 6 hours(group A),12 hours(group B),24 hours(group C)and 48 hours(group D)of reperfusion.RT-PCR was used to detect RSpo1 and ?-catenin in small intestine in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion groups and in control group.Results The villous heights of intestinal in experimental groups were significantly lower than that in control group(P
