ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the overall survival in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAC) treated with irreversible electroporation (IRE) and chemotherapy.Methods A retrospective study on the overall survival of 30 patients with LAC treated with IRE,and 30 patients with LAC treated with chemotherapy from July 2015 to October 2016 in the PLA General Hospital was conducted.Results For the 30 patients with LAC who underwent IRE successfully,there were 21 women and 9 men.The median age was 59 (36 ～81) years.Twenty-four patients had primary pancreatic head cancer and 6 had body cancer.Twelve (40.0％) of these patients had chemotherapy after the IRE ablation.The 90-day mortality in the IRE treated patients was 3 (10.0％).For the 30 patients with LAC who were treated with chemotherapy,the 90-day mortality was 6 (20.0％).In comparison of the IRE treated patients with the chemotherapy treated patients,improvements on disease-free survival (6 months vs.4 months,P ＜ 0.05) and overall survival (11 months vs.5.6 months,P ＜ 0.05) were observed.Conclusion IRE ablation of LAC was safe and could potentially improve overall survival when compared with the standard chemotherapy treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To compare and evaluate the curative effect of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy(LDP) and traditional open distal pancreatectomy(ODP) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 15 patients treated by LDP and 87 contemporaneous cases treated by ODP from January 2010 to November 2015 was collected, and the curative effect and prognosis of these patients were retrospectively analyzed.@*Results@#The operation time of LDP group was (286.5±48.1) min, significantly longer than that of OPD group(226.6±56.8) min (P<0.05). The operative hemorrhage, postoperative exhaust time, recovery eating time, the whole and postoperative hospitalization time of LDP group were (188.7±108.9) ml, (2.2±1.3) d, (2.9±1.1) d, (13.2±10.4) d and (9.3±8.1) d, respectively, dramatically shorter than those of ODP group (625.2±982.1) ml, (4.3±1.7) d, (5.2±1.8) d, (20.7±8.7) d and (14.9±7.8) d, respectively (all of P<0.05). There were no intraoperative blood transfusion case in LDP group, however, 13 patients in ODP group received intraoperative blood transfusion, without significant difference (P=0.207). Alternatively, 6 cases occurred pancreatic fistula in LDP group, among them, 5 cases were grade A and 1 case was grade B; In ODP group, 17 cases occurred pancreatic fistula, among them 13 cases were grade A, 1 case was grade B and 3 cases were grade C, without significant differences (P=0.130). There were 2 cases of delayed gastric empty, 1 case of pulmonary infection in LDP group. In ODP group, there were 5 cases of postoperative delayed gastric empty, 3 cases of pulmonary infection and 6 cases of intra-abdominal infection, without significant differences (P>0.05). In both LDP group and ODP group, none occurred percutaneous drainage, re-admissions, second operation or perioperative death.@*Conclusions@#Compared to ODP, LDP is much safer and more steady in perioperative periodand operation. Patients of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma received LDP can acquire more benefit and recovery sooner, and LDP is a safe and effective operative method.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of somatostatin on the Proliferation in Human HepG2 Cells and the Level of Gene p16. Methods The cell line HepG2 were divided into 3 groups: control groupA, low concentration group B and high concentration group C. The flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect phase distribution of the cycles and detect the expression of p16 gene by using RT-PCR. Results Human HepG2 cells affected 24 hours later by different density SST, using FCM, we discovered that the G1 cell cycles of each A group, B group, C group occupied the proportion respectively is (51.41±3.27)%, (65.43±3.41)%, (69.02±3.75)%, that the S cell cycles is (36.86±2.31)%, (20.34±2.52)%, (18.50±3.09)%, that the G2 cell cycles is (11.46±1.96)%, (14.23±3.83)%, (12.48±3.18)%. Compare to the control groupA, the G1 cell cycles of groupB and group C were increased obviously. But the S cell cycles relatively reduced. The levels of p16 gene were expressed in each group detected by RT-PCR, but B group and C group expressed obviously. Conclusion The inhibited mechanism of somatostatin for HepG2 was expressed probably by improving levels of p16.
