ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the impact of colorectal cancer laparoscopic and open surgery on immune function.Methods:85 patients from January 2010 to December 2013 due to surgical treatment of colorectal cancer hospitalized in our department were randomly divided into experimental and control groups.The experimental group underwent laparoscopic surgery, the control group underwent laparotomy.The peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets, immunoglobulins, CRP and IL-6 levels, NO and ROS levels were compared in two groups of patients before and after one day,seven days of surgery.Results: The postoperative CD3,CD4,CD4/CD8 level after one day and seven days of surgery was significantly lower than before surgery, CD8 was significantly higher than before surgery,P0.05.Conclusion:Compared to open surgery,laparoscopic treatment of colorectal cancer has a protective and smaller effect for the body′s immune func-tion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the association between carotid atherosclerosis(AS) and serum magnesium(Mg) in hemodialyzed (HD) patients.Methods Clinical index was measured,and intimamedia thickness (IMT) of extracranial common carotid artery and presence of atherosclerotic plaques were determined by high-resolution B-mode ultrasonography.The data were analyzed between plaque positive group and plaque negative group.Results The age,serum phosphate (P),total cholesterol (TCH),low density lipoprotein (LDL),serum C-reactive protein (CRP),serum albumin(Alb),and serum Mg all had significant difference between two groups(t =4.153,2.908,2.301,6.322,5.791,2.341,7.778,P ＜0.01 or P ＜ 0.05).The risk factors of HD patients with AS were serum Mg and CRP(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The occurrence of AS was related to low Mg and high CRP in HD patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of sealing tube with regular urokinase for the malfunction of central venous catheter(CVC) in patients with hemodialysis (HD).Methods This was a prospective randomized controlled study,132 HD patients with cuff CVC were studied.In the early stage,52 H D patients without 80 patients with regular catheter-locking solution of urokinase.To analyze effect of cuff CVC malfunction,blood flow(BF),dialysis adequacy,anemia and serum albumin (ALB) with regular catheter-locking solution of urokinase.The incidence of catheter malfunction was calculated based on the catheter dysfunction in the first 3 months.Clinical index was measured,recorded BF and calculated urea clearance rate (Kt/V).Results HD patients catheter-locking solution with regular urokinase could reduce the incidence of dialysis catheter malfunction ( 26.3％ vs 32.7％,x2 =32.727,P ＜0.01 ),increase the BF,Kt/V,levels of hemoglobin(HGB) and ALB(P＜0.05 or P ＜0.01).Conclusion Regular catheter-locking solution with urokinase is effective in reducing HD patients incidence of dialysis CVC malfunction,increasing patients BF,dialysis adequacy and the level of ALB,improving anemia.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo evaluate the adequacy of hemodialysis by online clearance monitoring (OCM) and Kt/V of correlation analysis.MethodsThe Kt/V values of 48 maintenance hemodialysis patients in the Department of Nephrology of General Hospital of PLA were accessed by both OCM of Germany BeiLang Dialog + hemodialysis machine and single-pool urea kinetic model.The Kt/V calculation value was also checked by the urea dynamics - room variable volume model.The results generated at different time point were compared,including at the real time,before and after appearing through blood by On - line Clearance Monitoring,and correlation analysis of Kt/V value was performed.ResultsThere was no significant difference on evaluating the level of Kt/v by these two methods.The relationship between the results of the two methods was significantly positive related.(r=0.539,P ＜ 0.01).ConclusionsDuring hemodialysis,the OCM option provides an accurate tool for continuous on-line monitoring of urea clearance.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the rules of circumferential margin invasion(CMI)in middle and(or)lower rectal cancers by pathological large slices stained with HE and labeled with CK20,and provide a pathological basis for clinical therapy of rectal cancer.Methods Forty-one patients with middle or low rectal cancer were randomly selected in 8 months.The surgically resected specimens were detected after they were made into the pathological large slices stained with HE and labeled with CK20.Results The mesentery CMI positive rate in the pathological slices with HE staining and CK20 labeling was 21.95%,and 29.27% respectively.The mesentery CMI positive rate in moderately-and well-differentiated group was lower than in poorly-differentiated group(P＜0.05).Moreover,the mesentery CMI rate was higher in the specimens with lower edge less than 5 cm away from the dentate line than that in those with lower edge more than 5 cm away from the dentate line(P＜0.05).There was no significant correlation between CMI with the factors such as gender,age,pathological general types,tumor infiltration depth,lymph node metastasis,and surgical procedures(all P＞0.05).Conclusion There were risk factors for the CMI such as low location,poor differentiation and so on.The CMI patients should be treated with standardized adjunctive therapy after operation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the difference of the level of Th1/Th2 balance and change of CD4+ CD45R cell after treated by laparoseopy-assisted rectal cancer surgery and conventional open rectal cancer surgery, so to compare the effect of the two procedures on immunity function of the patients. Methods CD4+ IFN-γ+ T cell (Thl cell), CD4+ IL-4 + T cell( Th2 cell)and the ratio of Th1/Th2 were detected by flow cytometery ; The levels of IFN-γand IL-4 were measured by ELISA. The changes of CD4 + CD45RA+ T cell and CD4+ CD45RO+ T cell were detected in the different procedures so that the effect of the two procedures on eytoimmunity and immune balance were analyzed. Results Compared with baseline levels, the level of Th1 cells was decreased [ (4.51±1.52 ) %, (7.26 ±2.59) % vs. ( 12.06 ±1.82 ) % ] (P < 0.05 ) ; The level of Th2 cells was increased [ (6.70 ± 2.41 ) %, (6.70 ± 2.41 ) % vs. (4.47 ± 1.90) % ] ( P < 0.05 ) ; The level of IFN-γ was decreased [ (57.15± 23.64) ng/L, (72.70 ± 27. 31 ) ng/L vs. ( 123.47 ± 32. 52) ng/L ] ( P < 0. 01 ) ; The level of IL-4 was increased [(55.55±7.29)ng/L,(57.56 ±7.13)ng/L vs. [(41.87±5.83)ng/L] (P<0.05) on 2nd and 7th day after conventional open reeatal cancer surgery; The level of Thl, Th2, IFN-γ and IL-4 in the laparoscopy-assisted rectal cancer surgery was not different ( P > 0.05 ). At 7 day postoperatively, the level of the CD4+ CD45 RA+ T cells was in-creased (35.11 ±7.82) and the CD4+ CD45RO+T cells was decreased(61.21±9.13) compared with surgery be-fore(31.11±6.72) and (68.11 ±11.42) respectively (P< 0.05). Conclusions The laparoscopy-assisted rec-tal cancer surgery has less influence on immune balance, thus protect systemic cell immunity.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate hyperhomocysteinemia in chronic renal failure (CRF), its prevalence, etiology and potential relationship to arteriosclerotic events. Methods Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) was measured in 160 patients with CRF, 31 patients with coronary artery disease and 45 healthy controls by using fluorescence polarization immunoassay. Results Eighty-two percent of CRF patients had hyperhomocysteinemia compared to 22% in patients with coronary artery disease. Mean plasma tHcy level in heomodialysis (HD) patients [(24. 13 ?12. 68) ?mol/L] was significantly higher than that in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients [(16. 43?5. 58) ?mol/L] and that in normal controls [(7. 97 ?2. 65)?mol/L] . Plasma tHcy level in dialysis patients with cardiovascular diseases [(27. 12 ?15. 94)?mol/L, n=30] was higher than that in those without clinical manifestation of these complications [(20. 17?8. 71) ?mol/L, n = 62] . The levels of tHcy correlated inversely with Ccr (r = -0. 374, P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the carotid atherosclerosis(AS) in hemodialysis(HD) patients.Methods Clinical index was measured and intma-media thickness(IMT) of extracranial common carotid artery and presence of atherosclerotic plaques were determined by high-resolution B-mode ultrasonography.Results The age,disease duration,HD duration,triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein(LDL),serum C-reactive protein(CRP),mean carotid artery IMT in HD with atherosclerotic plaque were significantly higher than HD without atherosclerotic plaque patients,however,the serum albumin(Alb) was significantly decreased.Mean carotid artery IMT is related to the disease duration,Alb,TG,LDL,CRP in HD patients.Conclusion The CRP,mean carotid artery IMT were increased in HD with atherosclerotic plaque.Mean carotid artery IMT is related to the disease duration,Alb,TG,LDL,CRP in HD patients.To improve malnutrition and decrease micro-inflammation,serum lipid might reduce the rate of AS in HD.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To observe the effects and location of autologous bone marrow stem cells(BMSCs) transplanted through renal artery into ischemic-reperfusion(I/R) injured kidney.METHODS: BMSCs were collected from rabbits after isolated and then labeled with 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine(BrdU).Twenty-eight rabbits were subjected to clamping renal pedicles for 105 min and divided into the transplantation group and control group randomly.BrdU labeled BMSCs or saline were injected into the kidney by renal artery,respectively.Before and after I/R at the 1st,3rd, 5th,7th,14th,21th and 28th d,the venous blood was collected to measure serum Cr and BUN.In the same time,renal tissue was collected for pathological and immunohistochemical study.RESULTS: After I/R,serum Cr and BUN levels in the rabbits in two groups became higher,and on the 1st and 3rd d after I/R,reached the highest level.On the 7th d the serum Cr and BUN levels in transplantation group were lower than those in control group.On the 28th d the levels of serum Cr(90.1?11.1) ?mol/L and BUN(8.0?1.5) mmol/L in transplantation group were significantly lower than those in control group(135.6?32.5) ?mol/L and(10.9?2.5) mmol/L,respectively(P
