Prediction of ocular irritancy of 26 chemicals and 26 cosmetic products with isolated rabbit eye (IRE) test / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study aims to establish and evaluate the methodology of isolated rabbit eye (IRE) test.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>IRE test was performed according to modifications of the in vitro toxicology (INVITTOX) Protocol No.85: Rabbit enucleated eye test by European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM), and then 26 chemicals and 26 cosmetic products were tested in both in vitro IRE and in vivo Draize tests. A statistical analysis was conducted to determine the relevance of the IRE test to the data generated in the Draize test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>IRE test was established successfully in our laboratory. It was shown that ranking correlation and class concordance were fairly well between the IRE test and the Draize test for 26 reference chemicals (Fisher's Exact Test χ(2)=51.314, P<0.001; McNemar P=0.261; Gamma=0.960, P<0.001; Kappa=0.843, P<0.001) and 26 cosmetic products (Fisher's Exact Test χ(2)=15.522, P<0.001; McNemar P=0.311; Gamma=0.967, P<0.001; Kappa=0.611, P<0.001).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>IRE test was established successfully for in vitro testing of eye irritation as an alternative to Draize test.</p>

Necessity of No.13 lymph node dissection in advanced gastric carcinoma / 中华胃肠外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the feasibility and necessity of No.13 lymph node dissection for advanced gastric carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data of 144 cases who were diagnosed as TNMII-III stage gastric carcinoma were collected from January 2007 to December 2009 in the Department of General Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University. Seventy-two cases who received D2 radical gastrectomy plus No.13 lymph node dissection were selected as the study group, and they were matched 1:1 to 72 cases who received D2 Radical gastrectomy (the control group) for TNMII-III stage gastric carcinoma. The differences in the intraoperative and postoperative parameters and survival time were compared, and the factors associated with No.13 lymph node metastasis were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were no significant differences between the two groups in operative time [(2.8 ± 0.4) h vs. (2.7 ± 0.4) h], blood loss [(191.9 ± 81.5) ml vs. (186.0 ± 81.7) ml], the incidence of postoperative complications (18.1% vs. 15.3%), length of hospital stay [(12.3 ± 4.2) d vs. (11.9 ± 3.2) d] and 3-year survival rate (63% vs. 57%) (all P>0.05). In the study group, there were 15 patients (20.8%) with positive No.13 lymph nodes, and the 3-year survival rate was 13%, significantly lower compared to those with negative No.13 lymph node (73%, n=57) (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that N stage (P<0.01) and histological type (P<0.05) were independently associated with No.13 lymph node metastasis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>No.13 lymph node dissection for TNMII-III stage gastric cancer is feasible and necessary.</p>

Establishment and evaluation of a modified plasma protamine paracoagulation test / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a modified plasma protamine paracoagulation test.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Plasma protamine paracoagulation, modified plasma protamine paracoagulation and D-dimer (D-D) tests were performed for the plasma samples collected from 98 cases of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and 156 normal subjects. The sensitivity and specificity of the 3 tests were analyzed. The plasma samples from 8 cases of suspected myocardial infarction were detected using modified plasma protamine paracoagulation for diagnostic purpose.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The sensitivity of plasma protamine paracoagulation, modified plasma protamine paracoagulation and D-D tests was 16.33%, 88.76% and 77.56%, and the specificity was 100%, 88.46% and 97.44%, respectively. Positive results occurred earlier in modified plasma protamine paracoagulation test than in plasma protamine paracoagulation and D-D tests in 5 cases of myocardial infarction.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The modified plasma protamine paracoagulation test has a higher sensitivity than plasma protamine paracoagulation test and a higher specificity than D-D test, and can be helpful in early diagnosis of thrombosis and fibrinolysis.</p>

Association of the jejunal mucosal structure and the tolerance of early postoperative enteral nutrition in gastric carcinoma patients at different ages / 中华胃肠外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the association of the changes of the jejunal mucosal structure and the tolerance of early postoperative enteral nutrition in gastric cancer patients at different ages.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty patients of gastric carcinoma undergone total gastrectomy were enrolled in this study, including 16 cases over 65 years old and 14 cases under 40 years old. The specimens of jejunal mucosa were taken during operation and were observed by light and electronic microscopes. The height and width of the jejunal villus and the thickness of the jejunal mucosa were measured. All the patients received enteral nutrition from the second postoperative day to discharge. The complications related to enteral nutrition, such as abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and diarrhea, were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The height of the jejunal villus was longer in young age group than that of old age group. The width of the jejunal villus was shorter in young age group than that of old age group. The thickness of the jejunal mucosa was thinner in old age group than that of young age group. The changes of ultrastructure of the jejunal mucosal epithelial cell in old age group showed that microvilli are rare and disorder, mitochondrial cristaes were broken and dissolved. The young age group was normal in the ultrastructure. The complications related to enteral nutrition were more frequent in old age group than those in young age group, especially in abdominal distention and diarrhea (P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The atrophy of jejunal mucosa in old age patients with gastric carcinoma lead to decrease the tolerance and increase the complications of the postoperative enteral nutrition.</p>

Clinical analysis of prognostic factors for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors / 中华胃肠外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the prognostic factors for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From 2000 to 2003, clinical data of 41 cases with GIST were reviewed retrospectively. The clinicopathologic diagnosis was determined by immunochemistry. The relationships of the prognosis with mitotic counts, tumor size and location,range of tumor resection were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The patients with GIST had pathological section of high expression in CD117, CD34 and vimentin (92.7%, 82.9%, 78%, respectively). Patients with tumor location in intestine, tumor size > 5 cm,mitotic counts > 5/50HPF, incomplete resection had poorer outcome, compared with those with tumor location in stomach and colon,tumor size < or = 5 cm,mitotic counts < or = 5/50HPF and complete resection (all P< 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Complete gross resection can improve prognosis for patients with GIST. Tumors with mitotic counts > or = 5/50HPF, tumor size more than 5 cm and tumor location in intestine are poor prognostic factors.</p>
