ABSTRACT
The objectiue was to explore how to improve stem cell derivation from human great saphenous vein. After the saphenous vein was cut into small pieces, the cells of the vessel wall were obtained by tissue adherent method and digestion with type Ⅱ collagenase. The morphological changes of blood vessel wall were observed under inverted microscope. The survival of vascular wall cells was assessed by trypan blue staining. Stem cells doubly positive for CD34 and CD117 were sorted out by immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometry. The cells obtained by tissue adherence method exhibited signs of fibrotic changes and aging at the third passage (P3), while the cells extracted by enzymatic digestion still showed colony-like growth. Survival rates of these two groups of cells were (91.7±1.2)% and (97.2±0.7)%, (P=0.005). The results of flow cytometry showed that the positive rates of CD34 and CD117 double positive cells in these two groups were (0.16± 0.05)% and (0.44±0.07)%, respectively, with statistical significance (P=0.005). Immunofluorescent staining showed that the positive rates of double positive stem cells in the two groups were (89.41±2.06)% and (94.03±1.83)%, P<0.05 one week after the sorted stem cells were cultured. The positive rates of CD31, VEGF2 and SMA in the stem cells determined by flow cytometry were (0.12±0.01)%, (0.19±0.02)% and (0.45±0.01)%, respectively, which were not statistically different from those of the control groups. This could rule out substantial inclusion of mature endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Tube forming experiment confirmed that these vascular stem cells had developmental plasticity. More viable and morphologically healthy vascular stem cells can be derived by enzymatic digestion. These cells can be widely used in clinical and basic research.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in patients with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in favorable sites.Methods Between March 2015 and January 2017,86 gastric GISTs patients undergoing laparoscopic resection in favorable sites were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into ERAS protocol group (n =44) and conventional protocol group (n =42).Perioperative data and postoperative recovery parameters were compared.Results Compared with conventional group,postoperative recovery parameters in ERAS group such as time to first flatus,the first defecation,return to normal diet,physical activity outof-bed,and the hospital stay were obviously shortened.The postoperative pain score [(3.1 ± 3.0) vs.(5.2±3.2),P ＜0.05] and insulin resistance [(4.0±7.5) vs.(9.5 ±2.2),P ＜0.05] were significantly reduced in the ERAS protocol group than in the conventional protocol group.However,no statistically significant differences were observed in terps of operation time and intraoperative blood loss (P ＞ 0.05).There were no martality in both groups.The postoperative complications were 4.5％ and 4.7％ respectively.Conclusion Laparoscopic technique in favorable sites combined with the ERAS protocol enhance postoperative recovery and shorten hospital stay in gastric GIST patients.
ABSTRACT
Background: Aberrant Bcl-2 transcription is closely related with nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), however, the relationship between Bcl-2 and primary gastrointestinal DLBCL (PGI-DLBCL) was not fully studied.Aims: To investigate the relationship between Bcl-2 gene amplification and protein expression and clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotype and prognosis of PGI-DLBCL.Methods: Clinical data was collected from 136 PGI-DLBCL patients receiving surgical treatment, and a telephone interview was conducted for survival information.Bcl-2 gene amplification and protein expression in tumor tissue were determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization and immuno-histochemistry, respectively, and relationships between Bcl-2 and clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotype and prognosis of PGI-DLBCL were analyzed.Results: Among 136 PGI-DLBCL patients, 33 (24.3%) showing gene amplification and 90 (66.2%) showing protein expression of Bcl-2;gene amplification was correlated with primary tumor location, Ann Arbor stage, serum lactate dehydrogenase level, B symptom and International Prognostic Index (IPI) score (P<0.05), while protein expression was correlated with primary tumor location and immunophenotype (P<0.05).5-year overall survival (OS) in patients positive for Bcl-2 gene amplification and patients with non-GCB immunophenotype and positive for Bcl-2 protein expression were inferior to those negative ones (41.5%vs.71.5%, P<0.05;54.6% vs.84.6%, P<0.05).In Bcl-2 gene amplification or protein expression positive patients, 5-year OS of CHOP chemotherapy was inferior to that of rituximab combined with CHOP chemotherapy (48.6%vs.80.3%, P<0.05;66.4%vs.83.4%, P<0.05).Conclusions: Detection of Bcl-2 gene amplification is useful for prediction of prognosis in PGI-DLBCL.Both patients with Bcl-2 gene amplification and non-GCB patients with Bcl-2 protein expression have a poorer prognosis.Rituximab may improve the prognosis in patients with Bcl-2 gene amplification or protein expression.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of Freka trelumina (FT) vs.feeding jejunostomy (FJ) in carrying out postoperative early enteral nutrition (EEN) in old patients with gastric cancer.Method 168 old gastric cancer cases were derided into FT group (n =54) with EEN, FJ group (n =50) with gastric tube and EEN, and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) group (n =64).Results Compared with TPN group, postoperative body weight, serum albumin and prealbumin level in FT and FJ groups were significantly higher, intestinal function recovery time, days of postoperative hospitalization and costs were significantly lower.The incidence of cough, sputum and sore throat of patients in FT group were significantly higher than those in FJ and TPN groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Postoperative EEN through FT and FJ was effective to improve nutritional parameter, accelerate intestinal function recovery, reduce the number of days of postoperative hospitalization, total costs, anastomotic stomal leak and gastroparesis rate.
ABSTRACT
Case based learning/problem-based learning ( CBL/PBL ) is a new teaching method based on traditional medical education methods.In order to conquer the deficiency of traditional education methods in autonomous study motivation and ability of knowledge integration, CBL/PBL has been introduced into vascular surgery teaching procedure since 2006.The quality and effort of CBL/PBL compared with lecture-based learning ( LBL ) were evaluated and scored. The outcome of this teaching innovation shows CBL can arouse students' desire in autonomous study and enhance their ability in clinical analysis.But, its superiority is difficult to develop in the current medical education system.

ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the effects of treating varicose vein with endovenous laser treatment(EVLT). Methods 810nm wavelength diode laser machine was used to treat 170 patients with varicose veins of the legs. After treatment, leg bandage compression was used for 2 days, and then changed to elastic stockings for 6-8 weeks. Patients were examined with Doppler ultrasound at follow-up. Results Post-operative follow up(1-12 months) of EVLT in 170 patients indicated 100% rate of greater saphenous vein closure on Doppler ultrasound, and no significant complications. All of the symptoms, disappeared or were significantly improved. Conclusions The results of EVLT of varicose veins have been favorable. This minimally invasive technique appears to be safe, and results in very effective closure of great saphenous vein.
