ObjectiveTo explore the clinical applicability and safety of nanocarbon in patients with gastric cancer, and evaluate its application value in radical gastrectomy.MethodsCollectted relevant literatures on radical gastrectomy for nanocarbon scales from the time of construction of the library to February 2019, according to search databases included PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), and Wanfang. The data of lymph node detection, detection time, number of lymph node metastases, and postoperative complications were extracted from the two groups. We systematically evaluated it, and analyzed the two groups by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsWe searched 88 articles and selected 10 articles, including 5 randomized controlled trials and 5 case-control studies. There were 784 patients in the nanocarbon group and 695 patients in the non-nanocarbon group. Results of meta analysis on the clinical utility and safety of nanocarbon labeled lymph nodes showed that, the number of lymph node detection, lymph node detection time, and number of lymph node metastases in the nanocarbon group and non-nanocarbon group were statistically significant (P<0.05), they were better in the nanocarbon group. There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionsNanocarbon has a clear trace effect on lymph nodes of gastric cancer. It can reduce the difficulty of the number of lymph node detection, improve the detection rate of lymph nodes, and avoid blindness during traditional lymph node dissection.
Objective To find out about the characteristics and prognosis of retinal detachment due to ocular contusion.Methods The clinical data of 36 patients(36 eyes)with retinal detachment due to ocular contusion were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 3 eyes(8.3%)with huge retinal hole(≥90°),4 eyes(11.1%)oral tear of ora serrata retinae,4 eyes(11.1%)with macular hole,3 eyes(8.3%)with tractive retinal detachment,and 22 eyes(61.2%)with retinal hole(lt;90°)at other positions(including temporal peripheral hole in 9,nasal peripheral hole in 5,and posterior polar hole in 8).Proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR)was found in a11 patients withConclusions Retinal detachment due to ocular contusion often go with PVR.The interval from contusion to retinal detachment varies from days to months.Visual prognosis can be good when retinal detachment is diagnosed and treated in time.

Objective To investigate the effect of lateral retinacular release on the clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) without resurfacing of the patella. Methods A prospective randomized controlled study was performed on 132 patients with unilateral degenerative knee arthritis undergoing TKA bewteen October 2012 and October 2014, who met the selection criteria. During TKA, lateral retinacular release was used in 66 cases (trial group) and was not used in 66 cases (control group). Two patients were excluded from the study due to missing the follow-up in trial group. Four patients were excluded from the study due to lateral retinacular release in control group. Finally, 64 patients and 62 patients were included in the trial group and in the control group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, side, disease duration, preoperative patellar morphology, grading of patellofemoral arthritis, grade of patellar cartilage degeneration, patellar malposition, patellar maltracking, patellar score, and Knee Society Score (KSS) between 2 groups (P>0.05). The operation time, postoperative drainage volume, hospitalization time, postoperative complications, and patient satisfaction were recorded. Postoperative anterior knee pain was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS), and the knee joint function was evaluated by KSS score and patellar score. The femoral angle, tibial angle, femoral flexion angle, and tibial posterior slope angle were measured on the X-ray film for postoperative prosthetic alignment. The postoperative patellar tracking and patellar position, as well as the presence of osteolysis, prosthesis loosening, patellar fracture and patellar necrosis were observed. Results All patients were followed up for 24 months. There was no significant difference in operation time, postoperative drainage volume, hospitalization time, and patient satisfaction between 2 groups (P>0.05). The incidence of anterior knee pain in the trial group was better than that in the control group (P=0.033). KSS score and patellar score were significantly improved in both groups at 24 months after operation when compared with preoperative scores (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between 2 groups (P>0.05). Complications included hematoma (2 cases in the trial group, and 1 case in the control group), mild wound dehiscence (2 cases in each group respectively), skin-edge necrosis (1 case in the trial group), and superficial wound infection (1 case in each group respectively), which were cured by conservative treatment. No patellar necrosis, patella fracture, or knee lateral pain occurred in 2 groups. There was no significant difference in complication rate between groups (P=0.392). Satisfactory implant alignment was observed in both groups during follow-up. There was no significant difference in femoral angle, tibial angle, femoral flexion angle, and tibial posterior slope angle between 2 groups (P>0.05). No radiolucent line at the bone-implant interface was seen around the tibial components and femoral components in both groups. The patellar maltracking was observed in 3 patients of the trial group and 5 patients of the control group, showing no significant difference (P=0.488). However, the incidence of patellar malposition in the trial group (18.8%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (35.5%) (χ2=0.173,P=0.034). Conclusion Lateral retinacular release during primary TKA without resurfacing of the patella can reduce postoperative knee pain without increasing complications.
Objective To study the interaction and mechanism of prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) receptor/thromboxane A2 (TxA2) receptor (IP/TP) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in ischemia reperfusion injury after liver transplantation of rat. Methods Rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group (n=16), orthotropic liver transplantation group (n=32) and nimesulide intervention group (n=32). The samples were obtained at 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after operation. The expressions of COX-2, IP and TP mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the localization and expression of COX-2. Hematoxylin Eosin staining was used to classify the injury extent of liver. Serum ALT and AST levels were detected to evaluate the changes of liver enzyme. Results COX-2 protein expression detected by immunohistochemistry in orthotropic liver transplantation group mainly distributed in the district of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, liver cells and macrophage cells, which was significantly higher than control group and nimesulide intervention group. Expressions of IP mRNA, TP mRNA and COX-2 mRNA in the orthotropic liver transplantation group were significantly increased than those in control group (P<0.05), and the ratio of IP/TP increased (P<0.05). Expressions of IP mRNA and TP mRNA in nimesulide intervention group were significantly lower than that in the orthotropic liver transplantation group at 6 h and 12 h after operation (P<0.05), and the ratio of IP/TP decreased at 3 h, 6 h and 24 h after operation (P<0.05). The expression of COX-2 mRNA in nimesulide intervention group was significantly lower than that in the orthotropic liver transplantation group at 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after operation. In orthotropic liver transplantation group liver injury was obvious by HE staining, and more severve than that in nimesulide intervention group. Serum AST (each time) and ALT (3 h, 6 h and 12 h) levels in the orthotropic liver transplantation group were significantly higher than that in control group and nimesulide intervention group (P<0.05) and peaked at 6 h after operation. Conclusion The balance of IP/TP takes part in and plays an important role in the ischemia reperfusion injury of liver transplantation. Changing imbalance of IP/TP may reduce liver transplantation ischemia reperfusion injury by inhibiting COX-2 expression.
