ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the effects of ultrasound-guided dynamic needle tip positioning (DNTP) and long axis in-plane (LAX-IP) techniques for axillary vein puncture and catheterization.Methods:One hundred Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ-Ⅲ patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 20-28 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective axillary vein cannulation, were divided into 2 groups ( n=49 each) using the random number table method: DNTP group and LAX-IP group.Axillary vein puncture was performed using DNTP technique and LAX-IP technique under ultrasound guidance in DNTP group and LAX-IP group, respectively.Successful puncture at first attempt, overall successful catheterization, the number of needle tip redirection, and axillary vein puncture time and catheterization time were recorded.The occurrence of complications such as axillary artery puncture, posterior wall penetration of axillary vein, hematoma formation, pneumothorax, and nerve injury was recorded. Results:Compared with group LAX-IP, the success rate of puncture at first attempt was significantly increased, the number of cases required needle redirection was decreased, and the puncture time was shortened ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the logarithm of the posterior wall penetration of axillary vein in group DNTP ( P>0.05). No complications such as arterial puncture, hematoma, pneumothorax, or nerve injury occurred in two groups. Conclusions:Compared with LAX-IP technique, ultrasound-guided DNTP technique can dynamically observe the position of the needle tip, the operation is simple and safe, and it is worthy of clinical promotion when used for axillary vein puncture and cannulation.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the clinicopathological features of type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with colorectal cancer (DCRC).@*Methods@#A case-control study was conducted. Inclusion criteria: (1) hospitalized patients receiving fibrocolonoscopy; (2) adenocarcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma diagnosed by pathology; (3) with preoperative cTNM clinical staging; (4) colorectal cancer patients undergoing surgical treatment; (5) with postoperative pTNM staging; (6) no smoking or drinking habits. Exclusion criteria: (1) familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP); (2) Lynch syndrome; (3) carcinoma of anal canal and perianal carcinoma; (4) multiple primary cancer; (5) with serious cardiocerebrovascular diseases or multiple organ failure. Clinicopathlogical data of 32 DCRC patients who were diagnosed and treated in Peking University Shougang Hospital from December 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Forty nondiabetic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients during the same period were selected as control group according to the sex ratio and the age difference less than 5 years. Student′s t test and χ2 test were used to compare the difference between the two groups in baseline clinicopathological data, clinical test results, tumor markers and infiltration status of T cells in tumor immune microenvironment.@*Results@#Among 32 DCRC patients, 24 were males and 8 were females with a mean age of (63.0±1.7) years; among 40 CRC patients, 30 were males and 10 were females with a mean age of (60.5±1.6) years. The duration of diabetes mellitus in DCRC patients (from the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus to the diagnosis of colorectal cancer) was (9.2±1.3) years. The body mass index (BMI) of DCRC group was significantly higher than that of CRC group [(24.8±0.6) kg/m2 vs. (23.2±0.4) kg/m2, t=2.372, P=0.020]. There were no significant differences in other baseline data (sex, age, primary site of tumor, R0 resection rate, pathological stage, pathological type, differentiation degree of tumor, preoperative intestinal obstruction) between the two groups (all P>0.05). Serum triglyceride level in DCRC group was higher than that in CRC group [(2.1±0.2) mmol/L vs. (1.5±0.1) mmol/L, t=3.085, P=0.003], while hemoglobin [(120.3±5.2) g/L vs. (132.7±2.8) g/L, t=-2.224, P=0.029], anti- thrombin III [(94.2±3.7)% vs. (103.5±2.4)%, t=-2.197, P=0.031], and red blood cell count [(4.2±0.1)×1012/L vs. (4.5±0.1)×1012L, t=-2.055, P=0.044] were all lower than those in CRC group. The preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level in DCRC group was higher than that in CRC group [(50.3±21.8) μg/L vs. (5.6±1.0) μg/L, t=2.339, P=0.022]. There were no significant differences in preoperative levels of other four tumor molecular markers (CA199, CA242, CA724 and CA125) between the two groups (all P>0.05). The expression of Foxp3 [specific markers of CD4+, CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg)] in DCRC group was higher than that in CRC group [(82.7±6.2) cell/HPF vs. (62.6±4.9) cell/HPF, t=2.586, P=0.012]. There were no significant differences in the infiltration of CD4, CD8, PD-1 and PD-L1 positive cells between two groups (all P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#The average diabetic history of DCRC patients is nearly 10 years. They have higher BMI and serum CEA level, and more Treg cell infiltration in the tumor. Close attention should be paid to these patients in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To set up the methods of establishing rat primary benign prostatic hyperplasic glandular epithelial cell line.Methods Male spontaneously hypertensive rats were raised to 29 weeks,and then evaluated the situation of BPH with HE staining.The prostate tissue from ventral prostate lobe was aseptically removed,dissected,minced,and then dissociated in collagenase type Ⅰ.Isolated cells were collected,seeded in WAJC-404 and PrEGM medium separately,then cultured and passaged.Specificity of primitive cultured prostatic epithelial cells was identified by cell immunochemistry with CK8/18,and the cell growth curves were drawn.Then the situation of growth of the two prostatic hyperplasic glandular epithelial cell lines were analysed and compared.Results The prostatic hyperplasic glandular epithelial cell lines of the spontaneously hypertensive rats in WAJC-404 and PrEGM medium were successfully primarily cultured,purified and passaged in vitro.Cell immunochemistry proved that the cell lines specifically express cytokeratin 8/18.Cell growth curve showed that prostatic epithelial cells in PrEGM,compared with prostatic epithelial cells in WAJC-404,possessed better cell morphology,more exuberant cell vitality,faster growth rate to enter the logarithmic growth period(4 d vs.7 d)and higher peak of cell growth curve(15.3× 104/ml vs.12.8×104/ml).Conclusions Rat primary benign prostatic hyperplasic glandular epithelial cell line can be established conventionally in vitro.PrEGM medium is more suitable for primary culture of the rat benign prostatic hyperplasic glandular epithelial cell line than WAJC-404 medium.
