ABSTRACT
Multiple cellular factors and molecular signal pathways including PI 3K/AKT pathway;MAPK pathway;growth factors and receptors like HER , VEGF/VEGFR and MET ;inflammation‐related factors like COX‐2 ,NF‐κB ,STAT and interleukins ,are involved in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer ,these factors play a key role in apoptosis inhibition ,proliferation promotion and cell cycle regulation of gastric cancer cells ,as well as invasion ,migration and angiogenesis of stomach malignancy .They are also expressed at a higher level in gastric cancer tissue compared with normal gastric mucosa and characterized as biomarkers ,whose target therapies mostly have been in clinical trials . Based on these theoretical foundations , the research on molecular diagnosis of gastric cancer has made some progress .Instruments for target detection tend to be mature .However , the research of molecular probes is still in pre‐clinical trials ,which remains to be further developed .
ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand general hospital medical staff status quo and characteristics of blood -borne occupational exposure , analysis its ethics factor , to make the prevention countermeasures of blood -borne oc-cupational exposure to provide scientific basis .Methods:From January 2013 to December floor all the medical staff of blood -borne occupational exposure cases were retrospectively analyzed .Results:A total of 101 medical staff blood-borne occupational exposure , which is given priority to with the nurse , accounted for 60 .40%;More con-centrated in under 30 employees, accounted for 70.29%;Occupational exposure personnel distribution in the ma-jority with surgical department (42.57%), followed by the physician (36.63%);Wards (60.40%), the operat-ing room (15.84%) and therapy (11.88%) are the sites of occupational exposure often happen;Sharp injury in the composition of the ratio of 87.12%, in the first place, in which a proportion (23.76%), pull out the needle (18.81%) and blood (15.84%), surgical suture (14.85%) and transfusion injection (13.86%) as the sharp injury of frequent occurrence of occupational exposure;Exposure is given priority to with hepatitis b ( 61 .38%) .

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate cognitive status and influencing factors for hand hygiene(HH)among health care workers(HCWs),and provide basis for scientific management of HH.Methods In April 2013,HCWs in a general hospital were selected by randomly sampling method,questionnaires were used to survey the implementation of HH in recent one month and HCWs’cognition on knowledge about HH.Results A total of 750 HCWs were in-vestigated,652 available questionnaires were collected.The frequency of hand washing and hand disinfection per day among most HCWs were 10 - 19 times,accounting for 46.62% and 47.85% respectively;30.52% of HCWs washed their hands for ≥30 seconds each time,60.58% of HCWs dried hands with paper towel after washing hands,57.21 % of HCWs abided by six-step hand washing method.The overall correct rate of cognition on ten op-portunities that requiring HH in clinical practice was 68.68%.The main factors influencing the implementation of HH were as follows:skin irritation of hand sanitizer and hand disinfectant subjectively considered by HCWs (63.34%),inadequate hand washing facilities(41 .10%);high cost of hand sanitizer ,hand disinfectant,and dry paper towel (38.96%),et al.Conclusion In addition to intensifying education on HH,installing rational HH facili-ties and improving HH standard are key points in strengthening HH in general hospital.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) with endovenous microwave coagulation (EMC) in the treatment of varicose vein in the lower extremities. Methods Sixty-five (male 30, female 35) patients with 70 lower extremities (35 legs in each treatment group) were pair matched according to age, gender and CEAP classification to receive endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) or endovenous microwave coagulation (EMC). The same surgeon performed all procedures. Patients were monitored on 72 hours, 4 weeks and 6 months after the procedure (by procedural site scored for bruising, skin burn, painful induration or trabes as well as a pain score), the cured extremities were examined via Duplex uhrasonography to evaluate the effects of the procedure. Results All these 65 patients (mean age, 47.52 years) completed treatment and were followed-up. The mean operation time of EMC group was less than that of EVLT (71±25 vs. 59±15, P=0.01). At 72 hour after the procedure, bruising scores and skin buring were significantly different (P<0.05): patients in the EMC group showed less bruising (17.14% vs. 54.29%) but more burn (48.57% vs. 20%) on the procedure site than the patients in the EVLT group. At 4 weeks and 6 months after the procedure, no significant differences were found between patient outcomes, physical conditions, and symptoms and or possible adverse events. In 20/28 patients the pigmentation faded away, Edema were relieved in all the 25 extremities. 4 patients with ankle ulcer were healed. No major complications were found. Conclusions Both EMC and EVLT were effective in treating lower extremities varicose veins, with no major complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore causes of complications after endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) , for patients with superficial varicosities of the lower extremities. Methods In this study, 207 patients with a total of 268 lower limbs were treated by EVLT combined with surgical procedures. According to CEAP classification, there were C2 in 268 limbs, C3 in 56 limbs, C4 in 101, C5 in 23 and C6 in 18. Simple EVLT was performed for 25 limbs in 21 patients; EVLT combined with external banding valvuloplasty of superficial femoral vein for 23 limbs in 23 patients; EVLT combined with ligation of great saphenous vein (CSV) and denudation of superficial varicosities for 220 limbs in 163 patients. Results An average of 10?5 (3-24) months of follow up was achieved in 175 cases. Early complications (within the first 2-weeks after operation) included bruising or ecchymosis (178 cases, 66.42%) and skin burning (56, 20.90% ). Three month complication included painful induration or trabs (235 cases, 87. 69% ) as well as thrombophlebitis (28, 10. 45% ). Long-term complication (after 3 months) included skin numbness or pain at medial knee or ankle region (15,5. 60% ). Recanalization of CSV occurred in 4( 1. 49% ) treated limbs. Residual or reoccurred varicose veins were found in 13(4. 85% ) cases. Movement related swelling appeared in 6(2. 24% ) lower limbs. Conclusion EVLT is effective for patients with superficial varicosities of the lower extremities. Minor complications most often subsided within 3 months. Strict surgical protocol and high ligation of the GSV could prevent local recurrence of the varicose veins and the recanalization of GSV.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of short bowel syndrome treated with living-related small bowel transplantation(SBT).Methods A male patient with residual intestine 20cm in length,which resulted from subtotal small bowel resection and right hemi-colectomy owing to intestinal volvulus,received a living-related SBT.The donor was the patient′s mother.Donor specific blood transfusion,50mL/per week,was carried out for 8 weeks.Cytomegalovirus infection status in both donor and recipient was negative.A 160cm segment of intestine was transplanted.The graft ileocolic artery and vein was anastomosed to the recipient′s infrarenal aorta and inferior vena cava end-to-side,respectively.A distal ileostomy was performed.(Immunosuppression),anti-infection and anticoagulation therapy,and nutritional support were given(postoperatively).Results The donor had an uneventful recovery.No technical complications were observed.The recipient was alive and well 31 weeks after operation.No graft rejection or infection was found.The(patient) was taken off TPN 8 weeks after operation,and got a low-fat meal.The result of D-xylose test was near normal.Conclusions Living-related small intestine transplantation is an effective treatment for short bowel syndrome.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the compositive methods of endovenous treatment with laser in the treatment of superficial varicosities in lower extremities individually.Methods Two hundred ninty-five limbs in 285 patients with chronic venons insufficiency were studied.According to the clinical manifestations,ultrasound and venography and using the clinical-etiology-anatomy-pathophysiology(CEAP) classification of chronic(venous) insufficiency,the patients were grouped A,B and C.Three surgical strategies were used.Group A:Simple endovenous laser therapy(129 limbs,43.72%).Group B: Endovenous laser therapy combined with punctate ligation(143 limbs,48.47%).Group C: Endovenous laser therapy combined with external banding valvuloplasty of superficial femoral vein and punctate ligation(23 limbs,7.8%).Results The cirsoid superficial vein disappeared in all the groups.The color of the skin became lighter,and swelling was reduced.The ulcers healed or shrunk in size.Conclusions Endovenous laser treatment(EVLT) is an(effective) minitraumatic operation for treatment of varicosities of lower extremities.The use of EVLT combined with other surgical procedures is effective treatment for primary deep venous valvalar insufficiency.
