Surgical treatment for right colon cancer directly invading the duodenum.

Right colon carcinoma with duodenal invasion is rare, and optimal management remains controversial. Twenty patients demonstrating right-colon carcinoma directly invading the duodenum presented at the Second Xiangya Hospital between 1990 and 2006. Different surgical management strategies were selected based on duodenal involvement, and patient outcomes were evaluated. There was no perioperative death in this series, but three major complications presented during the perioperative period: one case of duodenal stenosis and two duodenal leaks due to gastric or duodenal drainage. Eight of 13 patients treated by en bloc resection survived more than 3 years, including one 10-year survivor and four 5-year survivors. Of the seven patients treated with palliative resection, no patients survived more than 18 months. In conclusion, duodenal invasion by a right-sided colon carcinoma does not necessarily represent incurable disease. If carefully applied based on the extent of duodenal invasion, active surgical management is very useful for improving patient prognosis without increasing the risks associated with surgery.

The Expression of PDGF and PDGFR and Relationship Between MVD and Them in Primary Hepatic Cell Carcinoma / 中国医师杂志

0.05). The positive rates of PDGF and PDGFR in the HCC patients with the tumor emboli of portal vein and/or biliary duct were 76.9% and 76.9%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those(25.0% and 16.7%, respectively) in the ones without(P

Relationship Between the Expression of PDGF and PDGFR and MVC in the Gastric Carcinoma / 中国医师杂志

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of PDGF and PDGFR and MVC in human gastric carcinoma. Methods The expression of PDGF and PDGFR in 57 cases with gastric carcinoma was detected by immunohistochemical method of avidin-biotin complex in formalin-fixed and routinely paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Results The expression of PDGF and PDGFR was significantly related to the infiltrative depth and regional lymph nodes metastasis of gastric carcinoma. The positive rates of PDGF and PDGFR in the cases with invasive depth over 2/3 muscular layer were 61 8% and 58 8% respectively, which were obviously higher than those(26 1%, 26 1%) in the ones with invasive depth less 2/3 muscular layer(P

Gastric remnant cancer developed after subtotal gastrectomy:a report of 19 cases / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To investigate the earlier diagnostic methods and operative procedures of gastric remnant cancer. Methods Clinicopathologic data of 19 cases of gastric remnant cancer were retrospectively analysed,and the diagnostic value of the gastroscopy and barium meal was compared.Influencing the prognosis of gastric remnant cancer treated by different operations according to the situation seen during operation were observed. Results The diagnostic rate of gastroscopy and barium meal was 78.9% and 47.4%, respectively.All the 5 cases who underwent radical remnant gastrectomy sarvived≥3 years postoperatively.Two of the 3 cases who underwent palliative remnant gastrectomy survived 2 years and 1 alived 1.5 years postoperatively. In 6 cases of gastrojejunostomy, 4 cases died within half year, 2 cases died 12.5 and 14 months postoperatively. Conclusions The diagnostic value of gastroscopy takes advantage over barium meal examination. The patients who treated by radical remnant gastrectomy have better prognosis.

Study on the expressions of chemotactic proteins and their significance in pancreatic carcinoma and chronic pancreatitis / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To investigate the expressions of IL-8,MCP-1 and MIP-1? and their biological significance in pancreatic carcinoma and chronic pancreatitis, and investigate the relationships of their expressions in pancreatic cancer tissues.Methods Immunohistochemical method of avidin-biotin complex was used to examine surgically removed specimens from 51 cases of pancreatic carcinoma and 10 cases of chronic pancreatitis. Results The positive rates of expression and the scorings of IL-8,MCP-1,MIP-1? were significantly higher in pancreatic carcinoma than that in chronic pancreatitis(P
