【Abstract】 Objective To introduce the recent studies about the lymph node-targeted chemotherapy for gastric carcinoma. Methods The literatures on the lymph node-targeted chemotherapy for gastric carcinoma in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results The lymph node-targeted chemotherapy for gastric carcinoma was effective because it couled improve the drug concentrations in regional lymph node. Conclusion As a part of multiple treatments for gastric carcinoma, lymph node-targeted chemotherapy will be further developed.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progression of Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation in the treatment of hemorrhoids. MethodsThe related literatures in recent years were reviewed, and to investigate the operation principle, operation process, the indications and effects, and existing problems of Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation. ResultsThe surgical principle of Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation make use of Doppler ultrasound looking for hemorrhoidal artery, and ligation it directly.It's best indication is Ⅱ or Ⅲ degree hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoid with grade Ⅰ or Ⅲ mainly, especially for bleeding hemorrhoids disease curative effect is better.This surgical method has lots of advantages, such as less invasive, quick recovery, and low incidence of complications.But it is no significant treatment effect for the external hemorrhoids, therefore, the procedure does not apply to external hemo-rrhoids and mixed hemorrhoids dominated by external hemorrhoids. ConclusionsDoppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation has the advantage of minimally invasive, it is a safe and effective treatment for Ⅱ and Ⅲ degree internal hemorr-hoids or Ⅱ and Ⅲ degree mixed hemorrhoids dominated by internal hemorrhoids.

Objective To present and summarize the data concerning the treatment and prognosis of acute limb arterial embolism in West China Hospital. Methods Forty three patients with 52 limbs of acute arterial embolism were treated in West China Hospital from January 2003 to March 2006. There were 15 males and 28 females, aging from 26 years to 77 years 〔(58.88±13.90) years〕. The diagnosis was based on clinical manifestations and results of color Doppler sonography or DSA. The follow-up ranged from 1 month to 39 months. The following factors, which might influence the prognosis, were analysed through multiple linear regression of SPSS 10.0: age, sex, uper limb or lower limb, location of embolus, ischemic time, clinical categories of acute limb ischemia, history of smoking, atherosclerosis and other combined diseases, pervious history of acute limb arterial embolism, operative or nonoperative treatment, and postoperative complications. Results Clinical categories of acute limb ischemia include: Ⅰ (n=0),Ⅱa (n=16), Ⅱb (n=29), Ⅲ (n=7). The ischemic time varied from 3 h to 2 weeks. The sources of embolus: heart (n=39), vessle (n=7), iatrogenic origin (n=1), unidentidied origin (n=5). The therapies included embolectomy (n=38), catheter-directed thrombolysis (n=2) and medical treatment (n=12). The following postoperative complications occured: compartment syndrome (n=12), respiratory failure (n=3), alkalolsis (n=3), acute renal failure (n=2), wound infection (n=2) and pulmonary infection (n=1). Two patients died of cerebral infarction in hospital and one patient died of heart failure 3 months after discharge. Thirty-eight patients with 45 diseased limbs were followed up. The results were excellent in 13 limbs, good in 15 ones, fair in 8 ones and poor in 9 ones. The statistically significant influencing factors of prognosis include ischemic time, clinical categories of acute limb ischemia and history of smoking (P＜0.05). Conclusion The operation of embolectomy is the main treatment of acute limb arterial embolism. In selected patients, catheter-directed thrombolysis and medical treatment could be used to alleviate the limb ischemia. The treatment against the etiological factors should not be ignored. The prognosis of this disease could be influenced by ischemic time, clinical categories of acute limb ischemia and history of smoking.
Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical effect of the nano-carbon particles in laparoscopic operation for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction. Methods From 2008 to 2011， 119 patients with adenocar-cinoma of esophagogastric junction who underwent the laparoscopic operation were divided into study group （n=56） and control group （n=63）. The nano-carbon particle was injected into the subserosa around the tumor using the injection needle made by ourselves for lymphatic tracing before the laparoscopic operation in the study group， while no tracer was given in the control group. The indexes of lymph nodes， operation time， intraoperative blood loss， and postoperative hospital stay were compared in two groups. Results The nano-carbon particle was injected into the subserosa around the tumor successfully in the study group. The numbers of dissected lymph nodes and metastatic lymph nodes in the study group were significantly more than those in the control group （dissected lymph nodes：20.52±4.51 versus 16.44±3.80， t=5.341，P=0.000；metastatic lymph nodes：8.88±3.15 versus 6.49±2.49， t=4.602， P=0.000）. There were no statistical diff-erences in the intraoperative blood loss， operation time， and postoperative hospital stay in two groups 〔intraoperative blood loss：（97.50±27.52） ml versus （96.03±22.83） ml， t=0.318， P=0.751；operation time：（221.07±24.25） min versus （230.48±38.54） min， t=-1.570， P=0.119；postoperative hospital stay （10.82±1.67） d versus （10.29±1.33） d， t=1.945， P=0.054〕. Conclusions Injection of the nano-carbon particles using the injection needle made by ourselves is feasible in laparoscopic operation for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction. It can increase number of dissected lymph nodes without increasing operation time， intraoperative blood loss， and postoperative hospital stay.
Objective To explore the diagnostic methods, therapy and the prognostic factors for the ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA). Methods The clinical data of 23 patients (males 15, females 8, age range 35-78, mean age 65) with RAAA below the level of renal arteries, who were treated with surgery, were collected from April 1999 to December 2005 and were analyzed retrospectively. Seven cases had a history of RAAA, 6 cases had pulsating abdominal masses; 15 cases were diagnosed by emergency Doppler ultrasonic examination or CT. All of the patients underwent emergency surgical operation: The ruptures of the abdominal aorta below the level of renal arteries were obstructed by using clamp ring or using transluminal ballon according to conditions of each patient. The aritficial vascular graft was then taken after the control of hemorrhage. Results There were 9 (39%) patients died within 30 d after the emergency operation. The causes of death included acute renal failure because of hemorrhagic shock (4 cases), multiple organ failure (3 cases), and respiratory-circulatory failure (2 cases).Conclusion Surgery may be an effective treatment for RAAA. The critical step of the operation was to control hemorrhage by obstructing the proximal end of the aortic rupture according to the conditions of each patient. The main postoperative complications and causes of death include acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, renal failure and pneumonia.
Objective To summarize the research progress of transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) for rectal cancer. Methods The literatures about current status, limitations, and prospects of TaTME in China and abroad were collected to make an reviewe. Results TaTME is conformed to the principle of total mesorectal excision (TME), by using the ‘bottom-up’ approach and assisting in the laparoscopic technique platform, to ensure an adequate oncological distal margin, and it could improve the quality of the mesorectum specimens, reduce the circumferential margin involvement rate, afford more precise autonomic nerve preservation rate, and increase sphincter preservation rate. But it is also facing new complications, oncological and functional outcomes problems. Conclusions Although the experience with TaTME remains limited, the safety, feasibility, and short-term outcomes are acceptable. Nevertheless, there is a need for multicenter, large sample size, and long-term follow-up clinical studies focusing on the long-term outcomes to further improve the oncological safety of TaTME, before widespread application can be recommended.
