Objective According to heparanase’s gene sequence of GenBank, to construct heparanase gene-targeted small interfering RNA (siRNA) and its expression vector and to observe its interference effect on the expression of heparanase gene in human malignant breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell. Methods Heparanase gene-targeted hairpin siRNA was designed, two complementary oligonucleotide strands were synthesized and inserted into pGPU6/GFP/Neo vector, which was identified by sequence identify. Human malignant breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell was transfected with the constructed vector with lipofectamine method. Fluorescence photograph was taken. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) was performed to evaluate the level of heparanase mRNA expression. Results Four kinds of heparanase gene-targeted hairpin siRNA were designed, then were inserted into pGPU6/GFP/Neo vector after annealing. Sequencing indicated the construction was successful. Fluorescence photographs showed MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected successfully. RT-PCR showed that heparanase mRNA expression levels were inhibited significantly （Plt;0.05）. Conclusion The heparanase gene-targeted siRNA and its vector are successfully constructed and MDA-MB-231 cells are transfected successfully. Heparanase mRNA expression levels are significantly inhibited by siRNA vector, which provide a new method for the treatment of cancer.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of the treatment for chylous fistula after neck dissection with adhesive vacuum assisted washing and aspiration. MethodsFrom January 2004 to December 2010, 20 patients with chylous fistula after neck dissection treated with adhesive vacuum assisted washing and aspiration were reviewed. ResultsEighteen of 20 recovered in 10 to 12 days’ treatment without any complications. Drainage volume bagan to decrease noticeably in 5 days. Two patients needed reoperation and were discharged on day 15 and 17 respectively after operation. ConclusionThe treatment with adhesive vacuum assisted washing and aspiration is a safe and effective way for chylous fistula after neck dissection.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of gastric bypass (GBP) on metabolic syndrome (MS) and the related mechanisms. MethodsThe literatures addressed the effect of GBP on glucose metabolism and blood pressure were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsIt showed that GBP achieved durable level of blood glucose, remission of dylipidemia and hypertension, however, which occurred before significant weight loss. The changes of many factors such as food intake, gastrointestinal hormones, adipocytokines, fat distribution might be involved in GBP to improve MS. ConclusionGBP seems to achieve the control of MS as a primary and independent effect, rather than secondary to the treatment of overweight.
Objective To observe the curative effect on non-obese type 2 diabetes and the effect on change of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) of gastric bypass operation. Methods Thirty-two cases of gastric ulcer with non-obese type 2 diabetes were suffered gastric bypass operation. Plasma glucose concentrations, insulin and GLP-1 were measured respectively in fasting and postprandial conditions before operation and in week 1, 2, 3 and month 1, 3, 6 after gastric bypass operation, and the body mass index (BMI), homeostasis model assessment β cell function index (HBCI) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c， the index was detected only before operation and in month 3, 6 after operation) were also measured. The turnover of the diabetes condition in the 6th month after surgery was observed. Results Compared with the levels before operation, the fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels were descending (P＜0.05), fasting and postprandial plasma insulin and GLP-1 levels were ascending (P＜0.05), HBCI was ascending and HbA1c was descending significantly after operation respectively (P＜0.05), while BMI changed un-significantly after operation (Pgt;0.05). The diabetes control rate was 78.1%(25/32) overall six months after operation. Level of GLP-1 was negatively correlated with level of plasma glucose (P＜0.05) and positively correlated with level of insulin (P＜0.05). Conclusions Gastric bypass operation can markedly reduce plasma glucose level on the type 2 diabetes patients with non-obese, and the hypoglycemic effect may be contributed by more GLP-1 secretion that caused more insulin secretion, which doesn’t depend on the loss of weight.
Objective To sum up the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of postoperative complications of carotid body tumor. Methods The clinical data of 27 patients (30 aneurysms) with carotid body tumor who treated in our hospital from June 2005 to June 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Of the 27 patients, 24 patients had unilateral lesions and 3 patients had bilateral lesions, with a total of 30 aneurysms. Three patients received color Doppler ultrasound, 18 patients received computed tomography angiography, 3 patients received magnetic resonance angiography, and 6 patients received digital subtraction angiography. According to Shamblin classification: 10 aneurysms belonged to typeⅠ, 16 aneurysms belonged to typeⅡ, 4 aneurysms belonged to type Ⅲ. Twenty aneurysms were treated with simple stripping, 6 aneurysms were treated with tumor resection and external carotid artery resection, 2 aneurysms were resected by resection, partial carotid artery resection plus external-internal carotid artery anastomosis, 2 aneurysms were resected by resection, resection of internal carotid artery, external carotid artery, and common carotid artery, as well as internal carotid artery-common carotid artery bypass. All patients underwent a successful operation with no death. After surgery,1 patient suffered from hemiplegia, 2 patients suffered from hoarseness, and 1 patient suffered from cough. Of the 27 patients, 24 patients were followed-up from 3 months to 4 years, with a median time of 2.3 years. During the follow-up procedure, the 1 patient with hemiplegic recovered to more than three levels of muscle strength after 6 months after rehabilitation, the 2 patients with hoarseness and 1 patient with cough returned to normal after 2 months after symptomatic treatment. There was no recurrence during follow-up procedure, and no other complications occurred. Conclusion Computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiography are propitious to the definitive diagnosis of carotid body tumor, and actively surgical treatment should be performed once diagnosis of carotid body tumor.
Objective To observe the expressions of P53 and CD34 in rectal cancer and distal mucosa and to explore the safe distal margin of radical surgery for rectal cancer at molecular pathologic level. Methods Forty-five cases of rectal cancer were marked before operation， and then the cases were detected by PET/CT. P53 and CD34 expressions in rectal tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry technique. Results P53 expression and microvessel density (MVD) in rectal cancer were significantly higher than those in distal mucosa， which in distal mucosa were decreased along the anal direction. P53 and CD34 were still found in the normal rectal tissue. P53 expression and MVD were not significantly different between in more than 1.5 cm distal rectal mucosa and in normal rectal tissue. Besides MVD was related to size of tumor in rectal cancer and distal 0.5 cm rectal mucosa tissue, P53 and CD34 in rectal cancer and distal mucosa rectal tissue were not associated with tumor diameter, stage and differentiation of rectal cancer. Conclusion From the molecular pathologic view, the resection of 2.0 cm rectal distal tissue should be safe for excision of rectal cancer.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and security of endovascular repair of abdominal aorta using branched stent graft in a novel in vitro vascular model. MethodsThe branched stent graft for the abdominal aorta was designed. The novel in vitro vascular model was established to test this stent graft. Attempts were made to optimize the procedure of stent graft and to evaluate the feasibility of this device. The branched stent graft for abdominal aorta was tested by a novel in vitro vascular model. The number of stent graft released and expanded was recorded respectively. The pressure and situation of branch vessels were assessed before and after stent graft released. The endoleak during releasing process was observed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA). ResultsThe stent graft was successfully deployed in the novel in vitro vascular model. The releasing process was all properly achieved (100%, 30/30). The pressure changes of branch vessels were no statistical significances (P > 0.05) between before and after stent graft released. The stent grafts were well landed, and were fully expanded and properly positioned by DSA. No endoleak occurred. ConclusionThe branched stent graft for abdominal aorta in a novel in vitro vascular model is safe and feasible.
ObjectiveTo establish pig abdomen bullet wound model in seawater immersion condition and to analyze injury characteristics. MethodsTwenty Xishuangbanna pigs were randomly divided into seawater immersion group and control group,with 10 in each group.The left lower quadrant anti McBurney point of the pig semi-floating in the seawater was shot by using domestic 81-1 assault rifle at the distance of 10 meters,which were salvaged out of seawater at 60 minutes after injury in the seawater immersion group.The pigs in the control group were treated same as the seawater immersion group except seawater immersion.The mean arterial pressure (MAP),rectal temperature (RT),heart rate (HR),respiratory (R),white blood cell count (WBC),and C-reactive protein (CRP) were tested at 1 h,4 h,8 h after injury.The death of pig was observed. ResultsThe pig abdomen bullet wound models in the seawater immersion condition were successfully established.① Compared with the control group,the MAP and RT were significantly decreased at 1 h,4 h,8 h after injury,the HR or the R was significantly decreased at 4 h or 8 h after injury respectively in the seawater immersion group.② Compared with the normal value,the WBC obviously rose at 4 h and 8 h after injury,the CRP obviously rose at 1 h,4 h,and 8 h after injury in both two groups.Compared with the control group,the WBCs were significantly increased at 4 h and 8 h after injury (P<0.05),the CRPs were significantly increased at 1 h,4 h,and 8 h after injury (P<0.05) in the seawater immersion group.③ The mortality in the seawater immersion group (50%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (20%,P<0.05). ConclusionThe injury is more serious,the infection time is earlier,and the infection degree is aggravated,the mortality rate is higher for pig abdomen bullet wound model in seawater immersion condition.
