Résumé
Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics, diagnosis, treat-ment and prognosis of gallbladder cancer in China from 2010 to 2017.Methods:The single disease retrospective registration cohort study was conducted. Based on the concept of the real world study, the clinicopathological data, from multicenter retrospective clinical data database of gallbladder cancer of Chinese Research Group of Gallbladder Cancer (CRGGC), of 6 159 patients with gallbladder cancer who were admitted to 42 hospitals from January 2010 to December 2017 were collected. Observation indicators: (1) case resources; (2) age and sex distribution; (3) diagnosis; (4) surgical treatment and prognosis; (5) multimodality therapy and prognosis. The follow-up data of the 42 hospitals were collected and analyzed by the CRGGC. The main outcome indicator was the overall survival time from date of operation for surgical patients or date of diagnosis for non-surgical patients to the end of outcome event or the last follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribu-tion were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range), and com-parison between groups was conducted using the U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was performed using the Logistic forced regression model, and variables with P<0.1 in the univariate analysis were included for multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Logistic stepwise regression model. The life table method was used to calculate survival rates and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves. Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Case resources: of the 42 hospitals, there were 35 class A of tertiary hospitals and 7 class B of tertiary hospitals, 16 hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer and 26 hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer, respectively. Geographical distribution of the 42 hospitals: there were 9 hospitals in central China, 5 hospitals in northeast China, 22 hospitals in eastern China and 6 hospitals in western China. Geographical distribution of the 6 159 patients: there were 2 154 cases(34.973%) from central China, 705 cases(11.447%) from northeast China, 1 969 cases(31.969%) from eastern China and 1 331 cases(21.611%) from western China. The total average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of the 6 159 patients was 18.3±4.5 per year, in which the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 4 974 patients(80.760%) from hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer was 38.8±8.9 per year and the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 1 185 patients(19.240%) from hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer was 5.7±1.9 per year. (2) Age and sex distribution: the age of 6 159 patients diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(56,71) years, in which the age of 2 247 male patients(36.483%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(58,71)years and the age of 3 912 female patients(63.517%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 63(55,71)years. The sex ratio of female to male was 1.74:1. Of 6 159 patients, 3 886 cases(63.095%) were diagnosed as gallbladder cancer at 56 to 75 years old. There was a significant difference on age at diagnosis between male and female patients ( Z=-3.99, P<0.001). (3) Diagnosis: of 6 159 patients, 2 503 cases(40.640%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 3 656 cases(59.360%) were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. There were 2 110 patients(34.259%) not undergoing surgical treatment, of which 200 cases(9.479%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 1 910 cases(90.521%) were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. There were 4 049 patients(65.741%) undergoing surgical treatment, of which 2 303 cases(56.878%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 1 746 cases(43.122%) were initial diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. Of the 1 746 patients who were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer, there were 774 cases(19.116%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer during operation and 972 cases(24.006%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer after operation. Of 6 159 patients, there were 2 521 cases(40.932%), 2 335 cases(37.912%) and 1 114 cases(18.087%) undergoing ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination before initial diagnosis, respec-tively, and there were 3 259 cases(52.914%), 3 172 cases(51.502%) and 4 016 cases(65.205%) undergoing serum carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9 or CA125 examination before initially diagnosis, respectively. One patient may underwent multiple examinations. Results of univariate analysis showed that geographical distribution of hospitals (eastern China or western China), age ≥72 years, gallbladder cancer annual admission of hospitals, whether undergoing ultrasound, CT, MRI, serum carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9 or CA125 examination before initially diagnosis were related factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients ( odds ratio=1.45, 1.98, 0.69, 0.68, 2.43, 0.41, 1.63, 0.41, 0.39, 0.42, 95% confidence interval as 1.21-1.74, 1.64-2.40, 0.59-0.80, 0.60-0.78, 2.19-2.70, 0.37-0.45, 1.43-1.86, 0.37-0.45, 0.35-0.43, 0.38-0.47, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that geographical distribution of hospitals (eastern China or western China), sex, age ≥72 years, gallbladder cancer annual admission of hospitals and cases undergoing ultrasound, CT, serum CA19-9 examination before initially diagnosis were indepen-dent influencing factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients ( odds ratio=1.36, 1.42, 0.89, 0.67, 1.85, 1.56, 1.57, 0.39, 95% confidence interval as 1.13-1.64, 1.16-1.73, 0.79-0.99, 0.57-0.78, 1.60-2.14, 1.38-1.77, 1.38-1.79, 0.35-0.43, P<0.05). (4) Surgical treatment and prognosis. Of the 4 049 patients undergoing surgical treatment, there were 2 447 cases(60.435%) with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data. Cases with pathological staging as stage 0, stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲa, stage Ⅲb, stage Ⅳa and stage Ⅳb were 85(3.474%), 201(8.214%), 71(2.902%), 890(36.371%), 382(15.611%), 33(1.348%) and 785(32.080%), respectively. The median follow-up time and median postoperative overall survival time of the 2 447 cases were 55.75 months (95% confidence interval as 52.78-58.35) and 23.46 months (95% confidence interval as 21.23-25.71), respectively. There was a significant difference in the overall survival between cases with pathological staging as stage 0, stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲa, stage Ⅲb, stage Ⅳa and stage Ⅳb ( χ2=512.47, P<0.001). Of the 4 049 patients undergoing surgical treatment, there were 2 988 cases(73.796%) with resectable tumor, 177 cases(4.371%) with unresectable tumor and 884 cases(21.833%) with tumor unassessable for resectabi-lity. Of the 2 988 cases with resectable tumor, there were 2 036 cases(68.139%) undergoing radical resection, 504 cases(16.867%) undergoing non-radical resection and 448 cases(14.994%) with operation unassessable for curative effect. Of the 2 447 cases with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data who underwent surgical treatment, there were 53 cases(2.166%) with unresectable tumor, 300 cases(12.260%) with resectable tumor and receiving non-radical resection, 1 441 cases(58.888%) with resectable tumor and receiving radical resection, 653 cases(26.686%) with resectable tumor and receiving operation unassessable for curative effect. There were 733 cases not undergoing surgical treatment with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data. There was a significant difference in the overall survival between cases not undergoing surgical treatment, cases undergoing surgical treatment for unresectable tumor, cases undergoing non-radical resection for resectable tumor and cases undergoing radical resection for resectable tumor ( χ2=121.04, P<0.001). (5) Multimodality therapy and prognosis: of 6 159 patients, there were 541 cases(8.784%) under-going postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and advanced chemotherapy, 76 cases(1.234%) under-going radiotherapy. There were 1 170 advanced gallbladder cancer (pathological staging ≥stage Ⅲa) patients undergoing radical resection, including 126 cases(10.769%) with post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy and 1 044 cases(89.231%) without postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy and cases without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( χ2=0.23, P=0.629). There were 658 patients with pathological staging as stage Ⅲa who underwent radical resection, including 66 cases(10.030%) with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 592 cases(89.970%) without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and cases without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( χ2=0.05, P=0.817). There were 512 patients with pathological staging ≥stage Ⅲb who underwent radical resection, including 60 cases(11.719%) with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 452 cases(88.281%) without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy and cases without post-operative adjuvant chemo-therapy ( χ2=1.50, P=0.220). Conclusions:There are more women than men with gallbladder cancer in China and more than half of patients are diagnosed at the age of 56 to 75 years. Cases undergoing ultrasound, CT, serum CA19-9 examination before initial diagnosis are independent influencing factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients. Preoperative resectability evaluation can improve the therapy strategy and patient prognosis. Adjuvant chemotherapy for gallbladder cancer is not standardized and in low proportion in China.
Résumé
Bile acid is the main component of bile, and the external secretion of bile acid into the intestine can help with the absorption of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins; in addition, bile acid acts as a signal molecule to regulate bile acid metabolism and help maintain intestinal homeostasis. The process of liver cirrhosis is accompanied by varying degrees of cholestasis, causing bile duct injury, and exposure of liver cells to a high concentration of bile acid will accelerate the progression of liver cirrhosis and form a vicious circle. Among these abnormally elevated bile acids, taurocholic acid (TCA) shows the greatest increase, suggesting that TCA may play an important role in the process of liver cirrhosis. At present, there are relatively few studies on the mechanism of TCA in liver cirrhosis, and current studies in China and globally have shown that TCA at a high concentration (≥50 μmol/L) can promote the progression of liver cirrhosis by acting on liver cells (hepatic stellate cells, hepatocytes, hepatic progenitor cells, and bile duct epithelial cells). This article discusses the detailed mechanism of TCA in promoting liver cirrhosis and points out that TCA has the clinical potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target for liver cirrhosis.

Objective@#To explore hematological and genotypic characteristics of patients with hemoglobin E (Hb E) disorders from Yunnan Province.@*Methods@#One hundred individuals with Hb E disorders indicated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were subjected to genetic testing through multiple gap-PCR and reverse dot-blotting analysis.@*Results@#All patients were found to harbor a mutation to the 26th codon of the β-globin chain (HBB: c. 79G>A). Ninety patients were heterozygotes, and 10 co-inherited c. 79G>A and an α-thalassemia mutation (7 αα/-α3.7, 2 αα/--SEA and 1 -α3.7/-α3.7). Hematological characteristics of the heterozygotes were: Hb A2 (26.02±3.64)%, Hb F(1.35±1.25)%, MCV(78.83±4.68) fl, MCH(26±1.54) pg, MCHC (329.65±10.73) g/L, HGB (141.08±16.53) g/L, while that of the co-inherited cases was decided by the type of α-thalassemia mutation.@*Conclusion@#Hb E can be effectively detected by HPLC. The type of α-thalassemia mutations will determine hematological features of co-inherited cases. Hb E disorders may be missed by relying only on routine blood test upon prenatal screening.

Duodenal injury is a serious abdominal organ injury. Duodenal fistula is one of the most serious complications in gastrointestinal surgery, which is concerned for its critical status, difficulty in treatment and high mortality. Thoracic and abdominal compound closed injury and a small part of open injury are common causes of duodenal injury. Iatrogenic or traumatic injury, malnutrition, cancer, tuberculosis, Crohn's disease etc. are common causes of duodenal fistula, however, there has been still lacking of ideal diagnosis and treatment by now. The primary treatment strategy of duodenal fistula is to determine the cause of disease and its key point is prevention, including perioperative parenteral and enteral nutrition support, improvement of hypoproteinemia actively, avoidance of stump ischemia by excessive separate duodenum intraoperatively, performance of appropriate duodenum stump suture to ensure the stump blood supply, and avoidance of postoperative input loop obstruction, postoperative stump bleeding or hematoma etc. Once duodenal fistula occurs, a simple and reasonable operation can be selected and performed after fluid prohibition, parenteral and enteral nutrition, acid suppression, enzyme inhibition, anti-infective treatment and maintaining water salt electrolyte and acid-base balance. Double tube method, duodenal decompression and peritoneal drainage can reduce duodenal fistula-related complications, and then reduce the mortality, which can save the lives of patients.

plexus after orthotopic liver transplantation ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods Theexperimental study was conducted.According to the random number table,240 SD rats were divided into the 3 groups,80 rats in each group.Empty virus group:rats were transfected with the empty virus.Induced group:rats were transfected with HO-1 overexpression adenovirus.Inhibited group:rats were transfected with HO-1 RNAi adenovirus.Rats were made pairs (1 ∶ 1) and established rat liver transplantation model according to two cuffs method.Rats with less weight and with heavier weight were respectively chosen as donor rats and recipient rats,and then recieved tail intravenous injection of adenovirus at 24 hours before operation.(1) Detection of transfection efficiency of adenovirus before operation:HO-1 expression of liver tissue of rats in each group was detected by Western blot at 12 and 24 hours after injection of adenovirus.(2) Liver function test of recipient rats after liver transplantation:liver functions of recipient rats [alanine transaminase (ALT),aspartate transaminase (AST),alkaline phosphatase (ALP),gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT)] were detected at l,3,7 and 14 days postoperatively.(3) Pathological histology of liver tissue and injury scores of recipient rats in the 3 groups after liver transplantation:paraffin sections of recipient rats in the 3 groups at postoperative 1 and 14 days were stained by HE staining and observed by light microscope,and were evaluated by Suzuki damage score standard.(4) Relative expressions of HIF-1α,VEGF and HO-1 in liver

Objective To investigate the bacteroides of patients with AIDS and the healthy control by real-time quantitative PCR in order to reveal the role and significance of gut microflora in the AIDS-associated molecular pathogenesis. Methods The feces of the preoperative AIDS patients (n = 30) and the healthy control (n = 30) were collected. According to the sequences of target genes, specific PCR primers were designed. Bacterial genome DNA extracted from fecal samples was quantified by real-time quantitative PCR to analyze the bacterial amounts. Results In the patients with AIDS, the level of B.fragilis (3.23 ± 1.59; 4.05 ± 1.65), B.uniformis (5.69 ± 0.95;6.70 ± 2.18), B.thetaiotaomicron (5.01 ± 1.61; 6.41 ± 2.34), B.ovatus (5.78 ± 1.03; 7.07 ± 1.75), B.distasonis (4.21 ± 1.21; 5.53 ± 2.46) and B.vulgatus (2.92 ± 1.30; 4.48 ± 1.32) were significantly higher than those of healthy controls (P < 0.05). Conclusion The amount of fecal bacteroides of AIDS patients are significantly higher than those of the healthy control. These data indicate that the gut microflora of AIDS patients was disordered.

Objective To investigate the treatment effect of aescuven forte on the postoperative complications of breast cancer.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with breast cancer radical surgery were randomly divided into control group(n =60) and treatment group(n =60).Patients in control group were given postoperative routine treatment,while in treatment group were administrated aescuven forte pills at 300 mg orally,2 times/day for 4 weeks beside the conventional treatment.Results (1)After the 1st,2nd weeks therapy,the flap congestion disappear rate in the treatment group were 80.0% (48/60) and 93.3% (56/60),better than that in the control group 60.0% (36/60) and 71.6% (43/60),the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).However this trend was not seen in third weeks treatment (P > 0.05).(2) The total efficiency of remission of upper limb edema was 93% (56/60),higher than that in control group 77% (46/60),the difference was statistically significant(x2 =5.17,P < 0.05).(3) Visual analogue scale(VAS) pain score in treatment group were decreased form (8.87 ±0.74) in before treatment to (3.21 ±0.92) at after treatment.And the VAS score in control was from (8.91 ±0.85) down to (4.87 ± 1.34),the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).Moreover VAS score in treatment group was lower than that in control group (P < 0.05).(4) There was no adverse effect of the medication process.Conclusion Aescuven forte showed a ability to reduce congestion disappear time of breast cancer and shorten the recovery time of upper limb swelling and pain and other symptoms.
Résumé
Oncogene activation and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes is an important molecular mechanism of tumor formation. HER-2 oncogene is associated with breast cancer invasion and metastasis and prognosis, HER-2 overexpressing breast cancer progresses rapidly and has poor prognosis. In recent years, the emergence of targeted therapeutic monoclonal antibody drug Herceptin which built its structure for the HER-2 has significantly inproved HER-2-positive advanced breast cancer.
Résumé
Since the study of the mechanism of breast cancer occurrence and development deepens, breast cancer stem cells are receiving more and more attention. Studies have shown that a group of breast cancer stem cells were undifferentiated, with self-renewal and multi-differentiation potential. These cells have a resistance to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hypoxic, high tumorigenic, high invasion and metastasis. In breast cancer's recurrence,development, and even metastasis, they play an extremely important role. In-depth study of breast cancer stem cell related signal transduction pathways and the regulation of microenvironment are meaningful for clinical targeted treatment of breast cancer. Therefore, we summarized the latest development on breast cancer stem cells in the treatment of breast cancer.
Résumé
Objective To evaluate traditional surgical treatment, intraluminal strategy and hybrid operation on revascularization of atherosclerosis obliterans (ASO) of the lower extremity. Methods Clinical data of 197 ASO cases receiving revascularization from January, 1998 to December, 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. Seventy-seven cases underwent surgical treatment, 82 cases received intraluminal therapy, and 38 cases were treated by hybrid operation. The indications, clinical effect, complication and perioperational mortality of these three strategies were evaluated. Results 71% patients (164 cases) were followed up from 2 to 112 months. Surgical and intraluminal method had no statistical difference on long-term patency of aortic-iliac and femoral-popliteal artery (57% vs. 51%;48% vs. 42%). Hybrid procedure led to higher patency on multi-level lesion and concurrent thrombosis. The complications after surgery was higher than intraluminal on aortic- iliac and femoral-popliteal artery (31% vs. 12%;31% vs. 11%), and higher than intraluminal and hybrid on multi-level lesion (36% vs. 12% vs. 15%). The perioperative mortality of surgical group was 1.5% and 2.0% on aortic-iliac and multilevel lesion and 0% on other site;and that of intraluminal and hybrid procedure was 0%. Conclusion For aortic-iliac and femoral-popliteal artery revascularization, surgery was preferred in cases of long occlusive lesion and intervention was preferred for cases with short non-occlusive lesion. Hybrid procedure was the best for multi-level and concurrent thrombosis.
Résumé
Objective To discuss the diagnostic methods and therapeutical measures on acute portal vein thrombosis. Method Clinical data of 13 cases of acute portal vein thrombosis were retrospectively analyzed and its diagnosis and therapy were evaluated.Results In this group,8 cases were male and 5 were female.The average age was(54±26)years old and 6 of which had identified inducement.Diagnosis was made with enhanced CT or MRI/MRA in all cases,Among which 5 cases were treated with non-surgical method(anticoagulation and thrombolysis)and 2 died.The other 8 cases were cured with surgical procedures (thrombectomy and tube insertion for anticoagulation and thrombolysis though superior mesenteric vein).Segmental small intestinal necrosis necessitated small bowel resection in 5 cases.Conclusion Surgical procedures remain the important therapy of choice for acute portal vein thrombosis especially when bowel necrosis is suspected.
Résumé
Objective This report was to discuss the efficacy and complications of non-surgical therapy for patients with early lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.Methods A total of 412 patients were treated with thrombolysis or anticoagulation in our department during January 2000 and December 2006.Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results All patients were followed up for 12 to 83 months (mean,41 months).After treatment,42 patients(10.2%)were completely recovered,331 patients (80.3%)experienced large improvement,32 patients(7.8%)had mild improvement and 7 patients (1.7%)were failed,resulting in total effective rate of 98.3%.In comparison with long clinical course group(>7 days),the recovery rate and improvement rate of short clinical course group(≤7 days)was significantly increased(11.0% vs 5.4%,χ2=4.17,P<0.05;8.7%vs 1.8%,χ2=4.96,P<0.05).Complications included bleeding(2.2%),pulmonary embolism(1.9%),cerebral accident(0.7%),post-thrombotic syndrome(84.0%)and recurrence(6.1%).Bleeding rate in patients≥60 years was significantly higher(4.3%vs 0.8%,χ2=6.82,P<0.01).Incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome was significantly increased in long clinical course group(98.2% vs 81.7%,χ2=3.67,P<0.05).Condusions Non-surgical therapy,including thrombolysis and anticoagulation,might be safe and effective for patients with early lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.Early identification and management would be helpful to improve outcomes and reduce post-thrombotic syndrome.

Résumé
Objective To study the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower limbs. Methods A series of 82 patients with DVT treated in this hospital from July 1995 to July 2002 were retrospectively analyzed. Sixty-two patients underwent conservative therapy while 20 patients underwent thrombectomy. Results Oedema on diseased limbs subsided in varying degrees in all the patients. However, complete re-perfusion was achieved in only 15 patients, and partial re-perfusion in 9 patients. In the rest of 58 patients, thrombosis was unimproved or recurred, leaving behind the post-thrombotic syndrome. Conclusions Early treatment for acute DVT, conservative therapy or surgical intervention, is effective. Surgery is advisable in most early central type or mixed type patients, whereas conservative therapy in late central type or peripheral type patients. The intravenous interventional therapy is a relatively novel and favorable vascular technique.
Résumé
Objective To discuss causes and prevention of complications and recurrence following sphincter preserving procedure(SPP) for rectal cancer.Methods A retrospective study on clinical and follow-up data of 375 cases of rectal cancer treated by SPP from January 2000 to January 2006 was carried out.Factors relating complications and recurrence after the operation were analyzed with the Logistic regression.Results A follow-up was conducted for 1~60 months(mean,37 months).The 5-year survival rate was 75.77%,and 79 cases of those followed died.Postoperative complications included anastomotic leakage in 14 cases(3.73%),anastomotic stenosis in 37 cases(9.87%),and anastomotic bleeding in 13 cases(3.47%).Anastomotic tumor recurrence was seen in 25 cases.Logistic regression analysis showed that the distance between the tumor and the dentate line was the most important factor for postoperative complications(P=0.017),and the distance and patient's age were the most important factors for recurrence(P=0.040,P=0.041). Conclusions The distance of tumor and patient's age are the most important factors for complications and recurrence following sphincter preserving procedure for rectal cancer.Strict selection of patients for surgery,normative procedure performance,and proper peri-operative management are essential for the prevention of complications and recurrence.
