ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of hand-assisted laparoscopic one-stage operation for colorectal cancer with single hepatic metastasis.Methods The clinical data of 6 patients of colorectal cancer with single hepatic metastasis treated with hand-assisted laparoscopic one-stage operation between Aug 2009 and Mar 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.Result Procedures were completed successfully in all cases and there was no conversion to open surgery.The mean operation time was (183 ±45) min,the mean blood loss in operation was (165 ±70) ml,the mean time to intestinal function recovery was (69.4 ± 10.5) h,and the average length of stay was (9.5 ±3.2) d.There was no major intraoperative or postoperative complications.All the patients received chemotherapy and up to 30 months follow-up found good condition in all but one dying of widespread intraabdominal tumor metastasis.Conclusions Handassisted laparoscopic one-stage operation for colorectal cancer with hepatic metastasis is feasible and safe.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of implantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs)on neovascularization and ischemic-type intrahepatic biliary lesion in rabbits.Methods The animals were divided into the sham-operation group, experimental model group and BM-MNCs implantation group with 10 rabbits in each. The animal model of ischemic-type intrahepatic biliary lesion was established by clamping the hepatic artery and common bile duct. The BM-MNCswere isolated from the tibial plateau by means of density gradient centrifugation and were implanted through the common hepatic artery. Changes of some biochemical markers such as ALT, AST, ALP,γ-GT, TBIL and DBIL etc. were detected. In 4 weeks after operation, the cholangiography, histopathological manifestation, differentiation of BM-MNCs, and microvessel density were observed.Results At each observation time, the degree of change of biochemical markers in group C was lower than that in group B. The engrafted cells could differentiate into vascular endothelial cells. The intrahepatic biliary lesion of group B was severer than that of group C but had fewer new capillary blood vessels around it. Conclusion The implantation of BM-MNCs can promote neovascularization and increase blood supply to the ischemic bile duct to diminish or prevent ischemic-type intrahepatic biliary lesion.
