ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the etiology and clinical characters of ileocecal inflammatory mass and to improve the diagnosis and therapy of ileocecal inflammatory mass.Methods From July 2006 to July 2011,the data of ileocecal inflammatory mass cases were collected,including disease history,clinical manifestations,complications,imaging results,colonscopy results,pathological results and diagnosis.The clinical characters were summarized.Results A total of 241 cases with ileocecal inflammatory mass were collected and 83 cases of them were Crohn's disease,79cases were appendicitis with periappendiceal abscess,54 cases were intestinal tuberculosis,eight cases were intestinal malignant lymphoma and 17 cases were undefined.The main manifestations of 85patients were abdominal pain,right inferior abdominal mass and fever,among which 56 patients were Crohn's disease.Among 90 patients with surgical operation,44 patients were Crohn's disease,among which 12 patients received operation because of appendicitis with periappendiceal abscess at first while the pathological examination after operation for the recurrence of ileocecal inflammatory masses proved Crohn's disease.During the course of disease,69 cases had complications of intestinal obstruction,in whom 44 cases were Crohn's disease.Nine cases had intestinal fistula,24 cases had upper gastrointestinal ulcers,one case had impetigo,and all of the above cases were Crohn's disease.Conclusions The common etiologies of ileocecal inflammatory mass were Crohn's disease.Ileocecal inflammatory mass recurrence after surgery,ileocecal inflammatory mass complicated with intestinal obstruction and abenteric manifestations were more common in Crohn's disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of 5-fluorouracil and calcium folinatc combined with oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) program with capecitabine regimen combined oxaliplatin (XELOX) program as adjuvant chemotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer after surgery.Methods The postoperative clinical data of 286 advanced colorectal cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed.Of which,204 patients received FOLFOX4/6 adjuvant chemotherapy and 82 patients received XELOX adjuvant chemotherapy.The three-years disease-free survival (DFS) time,three-years overall survival (OS) time and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared.Count data of the two groups' were compared by chi-square test,and measurement data were analyzed by t-test.Results In the FOLFOX4/6 group,153 patients (75 ％) completed 12 cycles of chemotherapy,and in the XELOX group,66 patients (80 ％) finished eight cycles of chemotherapy.There was no statistical difference in three-year DFS incidence (FOLFOX4/6 stage Ⅱ 87％,Ⅲ 82％; XELOX stage Ⅱ 83％,Ⅲ 80％) and three-year OS incidence (FOLFOX4/6 stage Ⅱ 92％,Ⅲ 88％; XELOX stage Ⅱ 89％,Ⅲ 86％) between two groups (all P＞0.05).There was no statistical difference in the incidence of common adverse reactions between FOLFOX4/6 and XELOX group (all P＞0.05).Adverse reactions of degree Ⅰ and Ⅱ were more common,while degree Ⅲ and Ⅳ were seldom.Of the adverse reactions of degree Ⅲ and Ⅳ,the incidence of neutropenia in patients of FOLFOX group was a little higher than in those of XELOX group,and the incidence of hand-foot syndrome was a litter higher in XELOX group than in FOLFOX group.However,there was no significant difference (x2 =0.060,0.928,both P＞0.05).Conclusion There was no statistical significance between FOLFOX4/6 and XELOX as postoperative auxiliary chemical therapy for advanced colorectal cancer,and both therapies possess good tolerance and safety.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the regulatory effects of thioredoxin on chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells. Methods RT-PCR was employed to clone the full-length cDNA of thioredoxin (Trx) from human drug-resistant gastric cancer cell line SGC7901/VCR. The sense and antisense eukaryotic expression vectors corresponding Trx were constructed and transduced into gastric cancer cells SGC7901 and SGC7901/VCR by lipofectamine, respectively. MTT assay was used to evaluate the sensitivity of gene-transfected gastric cancer cells and control cells to anti-cancer drugs in vitro. Results The results indicated that SGC7901 cells transfected with Trx sense vector showed significantly decreased sensitivity to vincristine, cisplatin and adriamycin, while SGC7901/VCR transfected with Trx antisense vector showed significantly increased sensitivity to these drugs. Conclusion All these data suggested that Trx might participate in the formation of multidrug resistance of gastric cancer cells and alteration of Trx could regulate chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells.
