ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effect of intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy combined with venoclysis on postoperative gastric cancer.Methods:140 postoperative patients with gastric cancer were divided into IPHPC group(n=72) and chemotherapy of venoclysis group(n=68).The intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy and chemotherapy of venoclysis were applied for the patients in IPHPC group at one time.Postoperative complications,toxicity,survival rate and peritoneal recurrence rate in two groups were observed.Results:There was no sharp difference in the postoperative complications and toxicity between the two groups.The 3,5 year-survival rate were 86.1%,60.2% and 58.3%,29.4% in IPHPC group and CV group.The 3,5 year-peritoneal cavity recurrence rate were 5.6%,20.6%and 27.8%,53% in IPHPC group and CV group.There were significant differences in survival rate and peritoneal recurrence rate between the two groups.Conclusion:Intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy combined with venoclysis can prevent recurrence and metastasis effectively,and improve the survival rate and quality of life of postoperative gastric cancer patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To detect p27 expression in rectal carcinoma and serum transforming growth factor ? 1 (TGF ? 1) level in these patients, and to elucidate the modulatory effect of serum TGF ?1 on p27 expression in rectal carcinoma. Methods Expression of p27 was measured in 37 cases of rectal carcinoma, 22 of rectal adenoma and 19 of normal control specimens by immunohistochemical staining using antibodies to p27. Serum level of TGF ?1 was measured in these patients by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Results p27 protein was expressed in normal rectal tissue, rectal adenoma and rectal carcinoma, and the positive rate was 89.47%, 90.91% and 64.87%, respectively. The positive rate of p27 in rectal carcinoma was significantly lower than that of normal rectal tissue and rectal adenoma ( P =0.025). p27 was mainly located in nucleolus of normal rectal tissue and rectal adenoma, and the positive rate of p27 in cytoplasm of rectal carcinoma was higher than that of normal and rectal adenoma. The positives rates of serum TGF ?1 in normal group, rectal adenoma group and rectal carcinoma group were 21.05%, 27.27% and 51.35%( P =0.045),respectively. The expression of p27 related to histological differentiation, lymph node metastasis and infiltration depth. Serum level of TGF ?1 related to lymph node metastasis, infiltrated depth and CEA level. The positive rate of p27 in TGF ?1 negative group and positive group was 88.89% and 42.11%(Mantel Haenszel ? 2=6.755, P =0.009), respectively. Conclusion TGF ?1 may be useful in assessment of malignance and prognosis of rectal carcinoma. TGF ?1 can down regulate p27 expression in rectal carcinoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of total mesorectal excision(TME) for low rectal cancer.Methods One hundred nineteen patients with rectal cancer,located on an average within 8 cm of the anal verge,were included in the study.Fifty-four patients underwent traditional operation,and sixty-five patients underwent total mesorectal excision.Operation time,loss of blood at operation and local recurrence rates were compared between the two groups.Results The average operation time and blood loss were 118 minutes,and 100mL respectively in TME group,and they were 182 minutes,and 340 ml respectively in traditional operation group.There were significant differences between them(all P0.05).Conclusions In TME group,operation time was shorter,operative blood loss was less,and local recurrence rate was lower.TME should be applicated for patients with low rectal cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the correlation between the expression of Survivin、VEGF and MMP 2 and the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma Methods Expressions of Survivin、 VEGF and MMP 2 were detected by immunohistochemical S P method in 67 postoperative HCC cases Twelve candidate factors associated with long term survival were analyzed by Kaplan Meier Log rank estimation A multivariative Survival analysis of these individual variables was undertaken using the cumulative survival rate by the COX proportional hazards model Results A multivariative analysis determined three independent significant factors influencing overall cumulative survival including Survivin, VEGF, liver function (Child grade) The three prognostic factors predicted an increased risk of death from HCC Conclusion Survivin, VEGF, liver function, particularly the Child Pugh classification are the most significant prognostic factors for HCC patients undergoing hepatic resection
