ABSTRACT
The expressions of Livin and Caspase-9 were detected by immunohistochemical technique in 60 duode-nal adenocarcinoma tissues and 30 adjacent normal tissue. The positive expression rate of Livin in duodenal adeno-carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that of adjacent normal tissue,and the expression of Caspase-9 was lower than that of adjacent normal tissue ( P0.05 ) . Livin and Caspase-9 were associated with occurrence and development of duodenal adeno-carcinoma,and the expression of the above two were negatively correlated. Livin and Caspase-9 may be considered as reliable markers for clinical diagnosis,therapy efficacy and the prognosis of duodenal adenocarcinoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study feasibility and effects of early enteral nutrition(EEN) after total gastrectomy in elderly patients of gastric cancer. Methods Sixty-six cases of gastric cancer underwent total gastrectomy were divided into two groups randomly. One group was treated with EEN, another with parenteral nutrition(PN). Results The difference of nutritional status and incidence of posteroprative complications between EEN and PN group had no statistical significance, but the EEN group had earlier recovery of intestinal function and shorter hospital stay when compared with PN group. Conclusions EEN is an effective way of postoperative nutritional support in elderly patients of gastric cancer, which is safe, reliable, simple and clinically valuable.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate rational surgical therapy for patients aged at 70 and up suffering from cardiac cancer. Methods 79 cases admitted from 1991 to 2000 were treated by transabdominal total gastrectomy with a radical resection rate of 73% and palliative resection rate of 19%. Results The average age was 74 6 years with a ratio of male to female of 4 6∶1. The average course of the disease was 3 1 months, and only 1 (2%) case got early diagnosis,while the misdiagnosis rate was 54%. Postoperative complication rate was 38%, mortality rate was 3%. Conclusions With the preoperative concurrent disease properly managed and the operation appropriately performed senile patients with cardiac cancer could also be managed successfuly as young patients .
ABSTRACT
Objective The changes of peripheral T cell subgroup in patients with rectal cancer preoperatively and postoperatively were studied dynamicly.Method Peripheral T cell subgroup of 46 patients with rectal cancer was measured dynamicly by the monoclonar antibody enzyme labelling techniques during the preoperative and postoperative period.Result (1)CD3 cell and CD4 cell decreased markedly,the CD4/CD8 rate increased apparently in patients with rectal cancer.(2)Depressed immunity was related to the term of cancer.(3)The immunity of patients treated by radical rectal resection may recover gradually,the immunity of patients treated by palliative rectal resection,colostomy and laparotomy was depressed constantly.Conclusion The depressed immunity of patient with rectal cancer was related to the tumour preponderance.T cell subgroup dynamic surveillance was important to juide the possibility of recurrence and prognosis in patient with rectal cancer.
