ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between gastrc schistosomiasis and gastrc cancer.MethodsThe data of 11 cases of gastrc schistosomiasis were retrospective analyzed.Results 54.5％ (6/11) of gastrc schistosomiasis cases complicated with gastrc cancer,and 83.3％ (5/6) was well-differentiated and moderately differentiated.Seen around the parasite eggs were obvious intestinal metaplasia,glandhyperplasia,abnormalepitheliallesionsandother seriousatypicalhyperplasia.ConclusionsGastric schistosomiasis significantly increases the risk of gastrc cancer.Gnstrc schistosomiasis does not have specific symptoms,and it is clinically sumilar to chronic gastrtis.Therefore,patients with chronic gastrtis-likesymptoms in the schistosomiasis endemic areas should be subjected to an intensive test for gastrc schistosomiasis in the biopsy specimens collected from pyloric antrum and gastric lesser curvature.Patients infected by gastric schistosomiasis are strongly suggested to go regularly for gastric cancer check with gastroscopy.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the postoperative risk factors for gastrointestinal stromal tumors.MethodsFrom December 2005 to December 2010,sixty-one gastrointestinal stromal tumors patients of People' s Hospital of Tongling city gastrointestinal surgery department were analyzed retrospectively.Using the logistic regression model to calculate the postoperative recurrence risk factors. Results Sixty-one patients underwent operation,including gastrectomy (40 cases ),partial intestina parva resection (7 cases),partial colon resection ( 3 cases ),Dixon' s operation ( 2 cases ) and tumorectomy ( 9 cases ).Fifteen patients were given postoperative imatinib Mesylate Capsules (Glivec) treatment.Fifty-seven patients were followed-up more than 1 year and 7 cases were found palindromia ( 12％ ).Logistic model shows that the malignant degree of gastrointestinal stromal tumors is the only risk factor of postoperative palindromia.ConclusionsMalignant degree of gastrointestinal stromal tumors is the main risk factor for postoperative palindromia.Imatinib mesylate capsules treatment may be beneficial to the greater stage patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of lymph node metastases in gastric cancer on vagniae vasorum of gastric vessels,in order to provide evidence for the surgical treatment of gastric cancer.Methods The study included 90 specimens of left and right gastric arteries from 47 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for carcinoma from January 2004 to 2006.All specimens were dealt with frozen section method,then they were stained with HE and immunohistochemical method respectively.Results Metastatic cancer cells were not found inside vagina vasorum in stage Ⅰ specimens.Cytokeratiu positive of tumor cens in or on vagina vasorum was showed on 25 slices from 10 tumors.Among them,2 slices from 1 tumor belonged to stage Ⅱ.8 slices from 3 tumors belonged to stage Ⅲ and 15 slices from 6 tumors belonged to stage Ⅳ.There was significant differences among cytokeratin positive rate in different stages of gastric cancer(P＜0.01).Conclusion Vaginae vasorum dissection is recommended when clearing lymph node around arteries in radical gastrectomy for carcinomas in stage Ⅱ above.
ABSTRACT
Objective To examine the expression of p16 protein in malignant tumor of bile duct and itsrelationship with tumor behavior. Methods pl6 protein was studied by immunohistochemical method.Results The positive expression rate of MTS,/p16 in malignant tumor was lower than that in benign ones,and had close correlationship with the invasiveness and lymph nodes metastasis (P0.01 ). Conclusion The investigation of MTS1/p16 is of .great importance in evaluating the invasiveness of tumor, meta-potential of lymph node and clinicalprognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objectives:In order to study the immune function after postoperative parenteral nutrition enriched with arginine in patients with gastrointestinal carcinoma. Methods:Forty patients who underwent radical operation of gastrointestinal carcinoma were randomly divided into experimental group( n= 20),in which patients received TPN enriched with arginine,and control group (TPN, n =20).At day 1 before operation,day 1 and day 8 after operation,IgG,IgA,IgM,T cell subgroups.NK cell activity and IL 2 were dectected. Results:The immune function of patients with gastrointestinal carcinoma was depressed at different levels.At day 1 after operation,IgG,IgM,IgA,CD4 +,CD4 +/CD8 +,Nk cell activity and IL 2 decreased more significantly than those before operation.The immunefunction recovered rapidly and exceeded the level before preoperation in experimental group.The difference was significant( P
