ObjectiveTo investigate the survival of liver cancer cells in hypotonic solution, and provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of warm distilled water to kill free intraperitoneal liver cancer cells. MethodsThe hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Hep3B were cultured by using different osmotic HEPES buffered solution (148 mOsmol/kg, 90 mOsmol/kg, and 0 mOsmol/kg) in vitro, and then the activity and status of the cells were observed by using the MTT assay and flow cytometry. ResultsOne hundred and forty-eight mOsmol/kg and 90 mOsmol/kg osmotic pressure solution had no obvious killing effect for hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Hep3B, the cells still had strong activity after 30 min. The 0 mOsmol/kg osmotic pressure distilled water had particular killing effect for hepatocellular carcinoma cells, with the prolongation of time and the killing effect was enhanced. It needs 10 min to destruct free cancer cells. ConclusionApplication of warm distilled water lavage in liver cancer surgery requires the continuing role of 10 min to kill the intraperitoneal free cancer cells, thereby preventing the occurrence of postoperative peritoneal metastasis.
ObjectiveTo summarize the recent development of the magnetic compression anastomosis in surgery. MethodsThe abroad and domestic relevant literature about magnetic compression anastomosis was extensively reviewed, and comprehensive analyzed. ResultsMagnetic compression anastomosis in the reconstruction of the body lumen is a simple and effective way; laparoscopy combined with magnetic compression anastomosis has the advantages of small wound and quick recovery. Magnetic compression anastomosis has been increasingly used in cl inical practice. But its mechanism has not been fully revealed, and it is difficulty in expelling out of the magnet for the gastrointestinal and certain large-size lumen, so further research and optimization are still needed. ConclusionRelative to the traditional manual suture, magnetic anastomosis has great advantage, especially a combination of magnetic compression anastomosis and minimally invasive surgery has bright prospects for development.
The earliest research of magnetic surgery was the application of magnetic anastomotic device to anastomose the blood vessels. Now, it has been widely used for anastomosis of blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract and biliary tract. The concept of "magnetic surgery" was named firstly by LU Yi in 2010 and magnetic surgery was classified into magnetic anchoring technique, magnetic navigation technique, magnetic compression technique, magnetic tracing technique, and magnetic suspension technique. The applications of magnetic surgery in the field of thoracic surgery mainly include magnetic compression technique, magnetic anchoring technique and magnetic navigation technique. This paper summarizes the application of magnetic surgery in thoracic surgery and prospects its future development in the field of thoracic surgery.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of using magnetic beads to locate small pulmonary nodules.MethodsTwelve rabbits were randomly divided into two groups, 6 in each group. One group underwent thoracotomy after anesthesia and the other group underwent percutaneous puncture under the guidance of X-ray. One and two cylindrical tracer magnets (magnetic beads) with a diameter of 1 mm and a height of 3 mm were injected adjacent to the imaginary pulmonary nodules in left lung in each group. The magnetic beads beside the imaginary nodules were attracted by a pursuit magnet with a diameter of 9 mm and a height of 19 mm. The effectiveness of localization by magnetic beads were determined by attraction between tracer and pursuit magnets.ResultsAll processes were uneven in 12 rabbits. There was micro hemorrhage and no hematoma in the lung tissue at the injection site of the magnetic beads. When tracked with the pursuit magnets, there was one bead divorce in cases that one bead was injected, but no migration or divorce of the magnetic beads in cases that two magnetic beads were simultaneously injected to localize the small pulmonary nodules.ConclusionThe feasibility of using magnetic beads to locate small pulmonary nodules has been preliminarily verified.
