ABSTRACT
Inguinal hernia is a common surgical disease, and most patients need surgical treatment. In recent years, minimally invasive surgery based on laparoscopy has been popularized in hernia surgery. With the release of clinical guidelines, the progress of instruments and materials, the update of treatment concepts and anatomical knowledge, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, especially laparoscopic total extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP), is developing towards a more accurate and minimally invasive direction. Based on literatures in recent years and combined with clinical practice, the authors explore the advances in clinical application of laparoscopic TEP.
ABSTRACT
Laparoscopic radical resection of transverse colon cancer is a difficult operation, which is featured by large operation area, multiple steps, and many clinical anatomical variations. It requires the concept of complete mesocolic excision. Because of its absolute high-definition picture restoration, the 4K laparoscope can effectively assist in the identification, protection and severance of blood vessels during the operation, and assist in judging the fascia space of the operation. After entering Toldt fascial space through the intermediate approach guided by the superior mesenteric vein, the left, right transverse colon and lower area of mesangium are completely dissected, the upper area of colon, hepatic and splenic flexure are sepearted. The authors summarize practical experiences, investigate the extent of lymph node dissection in 4K laparoscopic radical resection of transverse colon cancer and share surgical experience.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: This study aimed to probe into the associations among circular RNA ZFR (circ-ZFR), miR-130a/miR-107, and PTEN, and to investigate the regulatory mechanism of circ-ZFR–miR-130a/miR-107–PTEN axis in gastric cancer (GC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: GSE89143 microarray data used in the study were acquired from publicly available Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify differentially expressed circular RNAs inGC tissues. The expressions of circ-ZFR, miR-130a, miR-107, and PTEN were examined by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, while PTEN protein expression was measured by western blot. The variation of GC cell proliferation and apoptosis was confirmed by cell counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis. The targeted relationships among circZFR, miR-130a/miR-107, and PTEN were predicted via bioinformatics analysis and demonstrated by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. The impact of ZFR on gastric tumor was further verified in xenograft mice model experiment. RESULTS: Circ-ZFR and PTEN were low-expressed whereas miR-107 and miR-130a were highexpressed in GC tissues and cells. There existed targeted relationships and interactions between miR-130a/miR-107 and ZFR/PTEN. Circ-ZFR inhibited GC cell propagation, cell cycle and promoted apoptosis by sponging miR-107/miR-130a, while miR-107/miR-130a promoted GC cell propagation and impeded apoptosis through targeting PTEN. Circ-ZFR inhibited cell proliferation and facilitated apoptosis in GC by sponging miR-130a/miR-107 and modulating PTEN. Circ-ZFR curbed GC tumor growth and affected p53 protein expression in vivo. CONCLUSION: Circ-ZFR restrained GC cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest and promoted apoptosis by sponging miR-130a/miR-107 and regulating PTEN.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgical procedures.Methods We retrospectively analyzed all gastrointestinal surgical patients nearly 2 years who were in the first affiliated hospital of Kunming Medical University and the first people's hospital of Yunnan province.Results The incidence of AKI was 2.1%.Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis indicated that: age>65 years, emergency operation and serious infection were significantly related with the incidence of AKI.Conclusion AKI is a common complication after gastrointestinal surgical procedures.This study showed that age>65 years, emergency operation, serious infection were risk factors most likely associated with postoperative AKI development.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of Hashimoto's disease ( HD) accompanying with thyroid cancer. Methods Clinical data of 10 cases of HD accompanying with thyroid cancer admitted from Jan. 1998 to Jan. 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Pathology revealed 8 cases had HD accompanying with papillary cancer and 2 cases had HD with follicle cancer. Mild hoarse voice was observed in 2 cases. Varying degree of hypothyrosis was observed in 9 cases and all patients were treated with thyroxin. Conclusions It is difficult to diagnose HD accompanying with thyroid cancer preoperatively. Knowing the indications of operative exploration of HD is very important and surgical management is the best treatment. The operation should follow the principle of radical thyriodectomy. Patients should be treated with thyroxin postoperatively.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the anatomical relationship between the recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN)and the inferior thyroid artery,to investigate the prophylactic measures on how to avoid iatrogenic injures while exposing the RLN during thyroid operation.Methods Retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 1 345 patients accepted thyroid operation with RLN exposing.Results A total of RLN 1 988 were observed,874 on the left and 1 114 on the right(including 2 non-recurrent laryngeal nerve).On the left side,the nerve passed anterior to the artery in 32.8%,posterior to it in 26.7%,and between the branches of the artery in 41.6%.On the left side,the nerve was found coursing anterior to the artery in 36.2%,posterior to it in 28.2%,and between the branches in 35.3%.6 nerves were iatrogenic injured,4 cases were temporary injured and 2 were permanent.Conclusions Although the anatomical relationship between the RLN and the inferior thyroid artery are variable,iatrogenic injures of the nerve can be avoid by exposing it,and an experienced surgeon with good knowledge of RLN anatomical characteristics and skilled surgical techniques was needed.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the reversal of the multidrug resistant gene mdr1 in vivo by antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) on the basis of study in vitro. Methods The cultured drug-resistant human hepatocellular carcinoma cells were injected under the skin of axilla to establish the tumor model of nude mice. mdr1 ASODN accompanied by Lipofectamine were injected locally and ADM was injected intraperitoneally. Control 1 and control 2 were locally injected by Lipofectamine and normal saline separately, and ADM was also injected intraperitoneally. Results As time went on the tumor size increased and from the 5th day on alterations were marked, tumor size in different time phase showed marked difference to the prior time phase with significant difference (P 0.05). The results suggested that SODN and Lipofectamine showed no marked effect on tumor growth of nude mice and ASODN had marked inhibition effect on tumor growth.Conclusion mdr1 ASODN can also reverse multidrug resistance of drug-resistant human hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vivo. After the treatment the tumor’s growth in nude mice will slow down in a range of time.
