Objective To analyze the citation classics articles, and approach the research development history and the research direction in the future about surgical treatment for type 2 diabetes. Methods The most frequently cited articles had published in Social Sciences Citation Index database by the end of October 30, 2012 were retrieved. The 50 most frequently cited articles were selected. Articles were evaluated for several characteristics, including number of citations, publication time, country of origin, institution, journal, publication type of article, and authorship. Results The most frequently cited article received 1 751 citations and the least frequently cited article received 73 citations, with a mean of 242.76 citations per article. These citation classics were published in 18 high-impact journals, led by Annals of Surgery and Obesity Research as 10 papers. Of the 50 articles, 18 articles were clinical observational study, 20 articles concerned basic science, 10 articles were review articles, and 2 articles were commentary. These citation classics were published from 1990 to 2009, most of them (40) from 2000 to 2009. Three institutions produced 2 top-cited articles, including Medical College of Virginia, Monash University, and East Carolina University. These articles originated from 14 countries, the top was USA (22 articles). Two persons authored 3 published papers (Cummings DE and Rubino F). Conclusion Most “citation classics” in research about surgery for type 2 diabetes are observational studies published in high-impact journals by US-based authors after 1990.
Objective To study the mechanism of gastric bypass operation on treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, recognize the etiology and pathogenesy of the disease and frame therapy strategy for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods The literatures about gastric bypass operation on treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, including clinical cases reports and evidence-based studies were reviewed. Results Gastrointestinal bypass operation was regarded as an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus. There were three hypotheses of therapy mechanism: early delivery of nutrients to the distal intestine, exclusion of the proximal intestine and incretin/anti-incretin. Conclusion Gastrointestinal bypass operation is now considering as an effective treatment, there is still a lack of basic experimental studies to clarify the mechanism.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of caveolion-1 on the growth and proliferation of human pancreatic carcinoma cell Panc1, in vitro. MethodsThe plasmid pCI-neo-cav-1 and its corresponding empty vector (pCI-neo) were transfected into Panc1 cell line (study group and control group, respectively). Expressions of caveolin-1, Akt, and Aktphosphate (p-Akt) were determined in transfectants by Western blot analysis. The cell growth curve was drawn and the double time was calculated in each group, and the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. The colony formation ability of tumor cells was detected by anchorageindependent growth assay. ResultsCaveolin-1 expression was up-regulated (Plt;0.01) and the growth of Panc1 cell was inhibited significantly (Plt;0.01) in the study group comparing with the control group. Caveolin-1 overexpression inhibited proliferation of Panc1 cell by arresting the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase (Plt;0.05), the rate of S phase in the study group was lower than that of the control group (Plt;0.01). Proliferation index of the study group was also lower than that of the control group (Plt;0.01). Caveolin-1 overexpression reduced the capacity of the cells to form colonies in soft agar (Plt;0.01). p-Akt protein was reduced in the study group as compared with the control group (Plt;0.05). ConclusionCaveolin-1 can function as a cancer suppressor through inhibiting the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in Panc1 cell.
Objective To analyze the application of bipolar radiofrequency-assisted device or monopolar radiofre-quency-assisted ablation in treatment for liver cancer by operation. Methods From June 2008 to May 2012, 56 patients with liver cancer underwent operation with bipolar radiofrequency-assisted device (Habib group, n=22) or monopolar radiofrequency-assisted ablation (mRFA group, n=34) were selected retrospectively. The operation time, postoperative morbidity, hospital stay, hospital costs, intraoperative bleeding, and therapeutic effects were compared in two groups. Results The percentage of patients with liver cirrhosis was 85.7% (48/56), with multiple tumors was 12.5% (7/56), underwent laparoscopic operation was 16.1% (9/56). Patients with the tumor diameter greater than 5 cm in the Habib group were more than that in the mRFA group (P=0.000), the laparoscopic surgery proportion had no significant difference in two groups (P=0.074). ① The intraoperative bleeding in the Habib group was more than that in the mRFA group (P=0.000). Two patients were adopted a hepatic portal blocking and 3 patients with intraoperative blood transfusion in the Habib group. ② The operation time in the Habib group was longer than that in the mRFA group (P=0.021), but there was no difference of the operation time in two groups patients with tumor diameter greater than 5 cm (P=0.191). ③ The postoperative morbidity had no obvious difference in two groups 〔18.2% (4/22) versus 11.8% (4/34), P=0.780〕. ④ Thehospital stay and the hospital costs in the Habib group were significantly more than those in the mRFA group (P=0.001, P=0.004).⑤The tumor residuals were found in two patients with tumor diameter greater than 5 cm. Conclusions Treatment for liver cancer by operation with bipolar radiofrequency-assisted device or monopolar radiofrequency-assisted ablation is safe and effective. The monopolar radiofrequency-assisted ablation has advantages of less intraoperative bleeding, more minimal invasion proportion, less hospital stay and hospital costs for liver cancer patients with small tumor (diameter<3 cm), multifocal tumors and minimal invasion conditions as compared with bipolar radiofrequency-assisted device. Operation with bipolar radiofrequency-assisted device in patients with larger tumors (diameter≥5 cm) resection might be a better choice.
目的探讨脾梗塞的诊断和治疗方法。方法回顾性分析2005年1月至2010年4月期间7例脾梗塞患者的临床资料。结果7例患者中有明确病因者5例,无明确病因者2例。 7例患者均行增强CT检查明确诊断。 除1例患者胰体尾囊腺癌侵犯脾动脉行胰体尾部、远端胃及全脾切除术外,其余6例均经保守治疗好转。结论增强CT检查对诊断脾梗塞有重要价值,大多数脾梗塞可经保守治疗痊愈。
目的探讨急性下肢深静脉血栓形成的治疗方法。 方法对我院1999年2月至2002年8月收治的20例急性下肢深静脉血栓形成患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析,并结合文献加以讨论。 结果采用手术取栓配合超声消融及区域性溶栓的综合治疗方法,20例中1例死亡,1例股浅静脉小段狭窄,1例遗留深静脉瓣膜功能不全,其余均获满意疗效,术后症状消失,肢体肿胀明显改善。结论手术取栓配合超声消融等微创技术是治疗急性下肢深静脉血栓形成的最佳选择。
