RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy of thoracoscopic radical surgery in the treatment of esophageal cancer and its influence on the expression of trigger receptor-1 (TRE-1) and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated protein 1 (TRAP1).Methods:A total of 68 patients with esophageal cancer who were admitted to First People′s Hospital of Ningyang from June 2016 to June 2019 were selected and divided into thoracoscope radical surgery group and raditional surgery group by stratified sampling method, with 34 cases in each group. The thoracoscopic radical surgery group was treated with thoracoscopic radical surgery, and the traditional surgery group was treated with traditional open radical esophageal cancer surgery with neck, chest, and abdominal incisions. The levels of inflammatory factors, immune function, lung function indexes, TREM-1, TRAP1 expression and complications of the two groups were observed and compared.Results:Before operation, the levels of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10 in two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). At 2 d after operation, the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 in two groups were increased and the levels of above index in the thoracoscopic radical surgery group were lower than those in the traditional surgery group: (23.21 ± 0.32) mg/L vs. (29.69 ± 0.48) mg/L, (232.15 ± 23.64) ng/L vs. (246.73 ± 25.89) ng/L, (0.64 ± 0.19) ng/L vs. (0.89 ± 0.21) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Before operation, the levels of CD 3+, CD 4+, CD 8+, and CD 4+/CD 8+ in two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). At 2 d after operation, the levels of CD 3+, CD 4+, CD 8+ decreased and the level of CD 4+/CD 8+ increased, and the levels of CD 3+, CD 4+, CD 8+, CD 4+/CD 8+ in the thoracoscopic radical surgery group were higher than those in the traditional surgery group: (46.78 ± 1a2.43)% vs. (41.32 ± 9.36)%, (46.12 ± 9.68)% vs. (41.59 ± 7.98)%, (27.42 ± 4.27)% vs. (21.38 ± 3.16)%, 1.47 ± 0.46 vs. 1.25 ± 0.27, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Before operation, the levels of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV 1/FVC in two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). At 2 day after operation, the levels of FEV 1, FVC, FEV 1/FVC in two groups decreased, and the levels of FEV 1, FVC, FEV 1/FVC in the thoracoscopic radical surgery group were higher than those in the traditional surgery group: (2.37 ± 0.72) L vs. (1.82 ± 0.53) L, (3.34 ± 1.06) L vs. (2.43 ± 0.82) L, (62.47 ± 15.26)% vs. (53.67 ± 12.28)%, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05).Before operation, the expression of TREM-1 and TRAP1 in two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). At 2 d after operation, the expression of TREM-1in the thoracoscopic radical surgery group was higher than that of traditional surgery group: (141.56 ± 34.69 vs. 121.54 ± 22.75); the expression of TRAP1 was lower than that of the traditional surgery group: (1.63 ± 0.51 vs. 2.11 ± 0.64), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The postoperative complication rate of the thoracoscopic radical surgery group was lower than that of the traditional surgery group:5.88%(2/34) vs. 23.53%(8/34), and there was statistical difference ( χ2=4.221, P=0.040). Conclusions:The short-term efficacy of thoracoscopic radical surgery in the treatment of esophageal cancer is better than that of the traditional surgery group, which can increase the expression of TREM-1, reduce the expression of TRAP1, and reduce the inflammatory response and the impact on the immune function.
RESUMO
@#Objective To investigate the changes in pulmonary function after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) segmentectomy. Methods A total of 59 patients (30 males and 29 females) who underwent segmentectomy in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from July to October 2017 were included. There were 33 patients (18 males and 15 females) in the VATS group and 26 patients (12 males and 14 females) in the RATS group. Lung function tests were performed before surgery, 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. Intra- and inter-group comparisons of lung function retention values were performed between the two groups of patients to analyze differences in lung function retention after VATS and RATS segmentectomy. Results The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) in the VATS group and the RATS group were significantly lower than those before surgery (P<0.05), and they increased significantly within 6 months after surgery (P<0.05). The recovery was not obvious after 6 months (P>0.05), and they were still lower than those before surgery. In addition, the retentions of FEV1 and FVC in the VATS group and the RATS group were similar in 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after operation with no statistical difference(P>0.05). Conclusion Pulmonary function decreases significantly in 1 month after minimally invasive segmentectomy, and the recovery is obvious in 6 months after the operation, then the pulmonary function recovery gradually stabilizes 12 months after surgery. FEV1 of the patients in the two groups recovers to 93% and 94%, respectively. There is no statistical difference in pulmonary function retention after VATS and RATS segmentectomy.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND@#Lung segmentectomy is increasingly used to resect lung nodules. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is widely chosen to performing lung segmentectomy, while robotic assisted thoracoscopic (RATS) was also one useful and practical method. There article was intended to compared the short-time outcomes of RATS and VATS in lung segmentectomy.@*METHODS@#The patients with lung nodules underwent segmentectomy by either RATS or VATS from January 2016 to April 2017 were studied. Baseline characteristics and short-time outcomes (dissected lymph nodes, postoperative duration of drainage, postoperative hospital stay, incidence of pro-longed air leak, atrial fibrillation and pneumonia) were compared.@*RESULTS@#166 patients were included in this study: 81 patients underwent RATS segmentectomy while 85 underwent VATS segmentectomy. The number of lymph nodes dissected in RATS group was more than in VATS group ［(13.07±5.08) vs (10.81±5.74), P=0.010］. The incidence of some postoperative complications such as pro-longed air leak, atrial fibrillation was not significant different between the two approaches.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Compared with VATS, RATS has similar safety and operability, and the number of lymphadenectomy is significantly more than that of VATS.
