A prospective randomized controlled trial of Sapylin combined with chemotherapy for advanced colon cancer following radical operation / 中华胃肠外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the effect of Sapylin combined with intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy for advanced colon cancer following radical operation on local recurrence, hepatic metastasis, and overall survival rate.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From Jan. 2004 to Dec. 2005,132 patients with stage II or III colon carcinoma after radical operation were randomly divided into two groups: Sapylin combined with chemotherapy(Sapylin) group and the control group. Toxic reaction, local recurrence, hepatic metastasis, and overall survival rate between two groups were compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Both groups successfully completed the trial. There was no significant difference in toxic reaction between two groups, the recurrence and hepatic metastasis rate in Sapylin group were lower than those in the control group(9/60, 15.0% vs. 22/72, 30.6%; 11/60,18.3% vs. 22/72, 34.7%, respectively), which were statistically significant (P<0.05 respectively). The 3- year survival rate in Sapylin group was higher than that in control group(73.3% vs. 54.2%), which was statistically significant (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Sapylin combined with intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy can effectively decrease local recurrence and hepatic metastasis,and improve the survival in patients with advanced colon cancer following radical operation.</p>

C-fos expression within PVN and NTS of the rat induced by gastric ischemia/reperfusion injury / 中国应用生理学杂志

<p><b>AIM</b>To investigate the effect of paraventricular nucleus (PVN) stimulation and the c-fos expression within PVN and nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) of the rat following gastric ischemia/reperfusion injury (GI/RI).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The rat celiac artery was clamped for thirty minutes and reperfused for sixty minutes, using Fos immunohistochemical method (ABC method) examined the c-fos expression within PVN and NTS.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) Both electrical and chemical stimulation of the PVN obviously attenuated the GI/ RI. (2) Bilateral electrolytic lesion of NTS could eliminate the protective effect of electrical stimulation of the PVN. (3) The Fos-like immunoreactive neurons were increased in bilateral PVN and NTS by GI/RI.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The function of PVN and NTS could be affected by the GI/RI noxious stimulation. PVN, NTS were involved in the regulation of GI/RI.</p>
