Objective We searched the best available evidence to provide a basis for the medical or palliative surgical treatment of a patient suffering from terminal colon cancer, complicated by intestinal obstruction (malignant intestinal obstruction), so as to improve the patient’s quality of life and alleviate her clinical symptoms. Methods We formed the clinical question according to the PICO principle. We searched for systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials in The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2007), MEDLINE (PubMed, January 1950 to March 2007) and ACP Journal Club (January 1991 to March 2007), and evaluated the evidence retrieveds.?Results We found that both scopolamine and octreotide could alleviate nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, but that octreotide was superior to scopolamine in reducing the secretion of gastric acid. Metoclopramide was effective in relieving fatigue, vomiting and intestinal obstruction associated with advanced cancer. A nasogastric tube may be used to drain the secretions before the administration of medical treatment, but long-term use tubes may make patients intolerable and induced side effects, such as necrosis of nasal mucous membrane and infection. At present, empirical palliative surgery was used for the management of malignant intestinal obstruction. This varied in different regions, and so the patients’ clinical condition should be taken into consideration. Being informed of the advantages and disadvantages of different treatment regimens, the patient and her family made the final decision.Conclusion The current evidence suggests that medical treatment can improve quality of life and alleviate clinical symptoms for a patient suffering from terminal colon cancer complicated with intestinal obstruction. However, the effect of palliative surgical treatment remains to be proved, and the decision about the appropriate treatment needs to consider the patients’ condition and the doctors’ clinical experiences.

Objective To explore the pathogenesis of the level of gene and therapeutic target genes associated with intestinal obstruction by analyzing the differential expression gene. Methods The gene expression data that came from public database gene expression omnibus （GEO） which provided adhesion formation’ gene expression data on 1， 3， 7，and 14 days after operation （n=8） and normal intestinal tissues’ gene expression data （n=2） of mouse were collected. The gene function and differential expression of genes were analyzed by using gene ontology （GO） and significance analysis of microarray （SAM）. Results There were a lot of response stimulated up-regulation of gene expression when occurrence of adhesion， and the products of these genes were distributed on cell membrane. The analysis results of gene expression at different time point after operation showed that expression up-regulated of Hmgcs 2 gene occurred on 3-14 days ofter operation and expression up-regulated of Stxbp 5 gene occurred on 14 days ofter operation. Conclusions The adhesion formation may be closely associated with the genes of response to stimulus and the gene product in membrane. The Hmgcs 2 and Stxbp 5 genes may be closely associated with the occurrence of other diseases which induced by adhesion formation.This provides a basis for the discovery of potential therapeutic targets.
Objective To establish interstitial cells of Cajal （ICC） loss models caused by incomplete small intestinal obstruction in rats with modified method and verify it. Methods Modified method was used to establish the models， making the ring around the small intestine but not through it. Morphological changes were observed by general signs， pathological changes were tested by HE staining and transmission electron microscope （TEM）， and changes of ICC number were tested by immunohistochemistry staining. Results Success rate of this method was 56% （28/50）， weight loss happened compared with before operation in ileus group （P＜0.01）. Hyperemia and swelling were observed in ileus group， and gastric retention was obvious. Results of HE staining and TEM showed that there was obvious inflammatory change， and ICC reduced was observed by immunohistochemistry. Conclusion ICC loss models caused by incomplete small intestinal obstruction meet the basic performance， and can be used for further research.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical values of serum histidine decarboxylase (HDC), D-lactate, and alpha-glutathione S-transferase (α-GST) for diagnosing intestinal mucosal injury of patients with intestinal obstruction. MethodsThe expression levels of serum HDC, D-lactate, and α-GST in 28 patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction, 19 patients with simple intestinal obstruction, 17 patients with acute simple appendicitis, and 20 healthy volunteers were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before the treatment, and then the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of these diagnostic indices were compared. In addition, the occurrence rates of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and infectious complications (abdominal cavity infection and pulmonary infection) were closely observed. The relevances of SIRS and infectious complications and the expression levels of these three diagnostic indices were analyzed. ResultsThe expression levels of serum HDC, D-lactate, and α-GST of the patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction were the highest among all the patients (Plt;0.01), and the expression levels of these three indices in the patients with simple intestinal obstruction were higher than those of the patients with acute simple appendicitis (Plt;0.05). The AUC of HDC (0.913) was larger than that of D-lactate (0.872) and α-GST (0.836) (P=0.000, P=0.000, respectively). When the cut off value of HDC was 31.00 μg/L, the sensitivity, specificity, false negative rate, and false positive rate of HDC were 74.5%, 94.6%, 25.5%, and 5.4%, respectively, which were all better than those of D-lactate and αGST. The occurrence rates of SIRS and abdominal cavity infection of the patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction were significantly higher than those of patients with simple intestinal obstruction (P=0.046) and acute simple appendicitis (P=0.027); while there was not significantly different of pulmonary infection among all the patients (P=0.728). The expression level of serum HDC in patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction suffered from SIRS (P=0.000) or abdominal cavity infection (P=0.002) was significantly higher than that of not-suffered from SIRS or uninfected patients. Meanwhile, the expression levels of serum D-lactate and α-GST in the patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction suffered from SIRS were higher than those of notsuffered from SIRS patients (P=0.032, P=0.021, respectively). The expression levels of HDC, D-lactate, and α-GST were significantly correlated with SIRS and abdominal cavity infection (Plt;0.05), among which the level of HDC and the incidence of SIRS had the highest correlation (r=0.608, P=0.001). ConclusionHDC may be a more effective index for diagnosing intestinal mucosal injury of patients with intestinal obstruction.
Objective To discuss the safety of fast track surgery for patients with obstructive colorectal cancer. Methods Between February 2008 and February 2009, 157 cases of obstructive colorectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively, 59 in fast track (FT) group and 98 in traditional group. Postoperative early rehabilitations and complications were studied and compared. Results The first time of passing flatus, oral intake and postoperative hospital stay in FT group were significantly earlier or less than those in traditional group （Plt;0.05）, while there were no significant differences in time of first ambulation, time with use of nasogastric tubes, urinary catheter, and drains between the 2 groups （Pgt;0.05）. There was also no statistically significant difference in postoperative complications rate between the 2 groups （Pgt;0.05）. Conclusion Fast track surgery for patients with obstructive colorectal cancer is safe and can accelerate recovery with decreasing length of hospital stay and improving life quality of the patients.
ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility and safety of the artificial pneumoperitoneum and gastrointestinal contrast CT imaging, and imaging diagnostic value on abdominal wall adhesion to intestine after operation. MethodsThirtynine patients with adhesive intestinal obstruction after operation relieved by conservative therapy were included from January 2008 to November 2009. After the artificial pneumoperitoneum established by injection of gas into abdominal cavity and gastrointestinal comparison by oral administration low concentration of meglucamine diatrizoate, CT scan imaging was performed and the radiographic results were compared with surgical findings. ResultsFour patients refused surgery and discharged, so enterolysis was performed in the remaining patients. The surgical findings were consistent with radiographic results. It was showed by laparoscopic operation that intestinal obstruction caused by the fibrous adhesions and the intestine did not adhere to the abdominal wall in eight patients with fibrous adhesion diagnosed by CT. Of eighteen patients with the abdominal wall septally adhered to the intestinal, the surgical findings showed the intestine and the abdominal wall formed “M”type adhesions and omentum adhesions in sixteen patients underwent open operation, and clear fat space was showed in eight patients and close adhesion was found in another eight patients between the intestine and abdominal wall. Of thirteen patients with the abdominal wall tentiformly adhered to the intestinal, the surgical findings showed the intestine and the abdominal wall formed continuous and tentiform adhesions and omentum adhesions to the intestine in eleven patients. After the followup of 6-18 months (mean 9 months), incomplete intestinal obstruction occurred in one patient and was relieved by conservative treatment. One patient with discontinuous discomfort in abdomen after operation did not receive any treatment. The other patients were cured. ConclusionThe artificial pneumoperitoneum and gastrointestinal contrast CT imaging can accurately show the location, area, and structure composition of the postoperative abdominal wall adhesion to intestine, which is safety, simple, and bly repeatable, and a better imaging method for the diagnosing of abdominal wall adhesion to intestine after operation.
Objective To analyze the effect of meglumine diatrizoate on diagnosing and treating adhesiveness small intestinal obstruction. Methods The clinic data of 484 cases of adhesiveness small intestinal obstruction were analyzed retrospectively. Those patients were treated with radiography with 76% of meglumine diatrizoate by orally or injected. Results After taking meglumine diatrizoate, 362 patients were cured, and the other 122 cases were diagnosed clearly and treated with surgery. Conclusions Meglumine diatrizoate can be used to diagnose adhesiveness small intestinal obstruction and confirm where the obstruction is. It can be the routine treatment for adhesiveness small intestinal obstruction and can be used repeatedly. It also can provide evidence to surgical treatment and guide to make the surgical project.
