Objective To investigate the protective effects of antitumor necrosis factor-α antibody (TNF-αAb) on lung injury after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and their mechanisms. Methods Forty healthy New Zealand white rabbits,weighting 2.0-2.5 kg,male or female,were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 rabbits in each group. In groupⅠ,the rabbits received CPB and pulmonary arterial perfusion. In group Ⅱ,the rabbits received CPB and pulmonary arterial perfusion with TNF-αAb. In group Ⅲ,the rabbits received CPB only. In group Ⅳ,the rabbits only received sham surgery. Neutrophils count,TNF-α and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations of the blood samples from the left and right atrium as well as oxygenation index were examined before and after CPB in the 4 groups. Pathological and ultrastructural changes of the lung tissues were observed under light and electron microscopes. Lung water content,TNF-α mRNA and apoptoticindex of the lung tissues were measured at different time points. Results Compared with group Ⅳ,after CPB,the rabbitsin group Ⅰ to group Ⅲ showed significantly higher blood levels of neutrophils count,TNF-α and MDA(P<0.05),higherTNF-α mRNA expression,apoptosis index and water content of the lung tissues (P<0.05),and significantly lower oxyg-enation index (P<0.05) as well as considerable pathomorphological changes in the lung tissues. Compared with group Ⅱ,after CPB,the rabbits in groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ had significantly higher blood concentrations of TNF-α (5 minutes after aortic declamping,220.43±16.44 pg/ml vs.185.27±11.78 pg/ml,P<0.05;249.99±14.09 pg/ml vs.185.27±11.78 pg/ml,P<0.05),significantly higher apoptosis index (at the time of CPB termination,60.7‰±13.09‰ vs. 37.9‰±7.78‰,P<0.05;59.6‰±7.74‰ vs. 37.9‰±7.78‰,P<0.05),significantly higher blood levels of neutrophils count and MDA (P<0.05),significantly higher TNF-α mRNA expression and water content of the lung tissues (P<0.05),and significantly loweroxygenation index (P<0.05) as well as considerable pathomorphological changes in the lung tissues. Compared with groupⅠ,rabbits in group Ⅲ had significantly higher above parameters (P<0.05) but lower oxygenation index (P<0.05) only at 30 minutes after the start of CPB. Conclusion Pulmonary artery perfusion with TNF-αAb can significantly attenuate inflammatory lung injury and apoptosis of the lung tissues during CPB.
ObjectiveTo investigate the hotspots from researches on imaging of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in recent five years. MethodsThe bibliographies from research literatures on imaging of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor from 2010 to 2015 in PubMed database were downloaded. The Bicomb 2.0 bibliographies analysis software was used to count high-frequency of Mesh major topics (MJMEs). SPSS 22.0 statistical software was applied for clustering analysis with MJMEs, then to get the topic hotspots. ResultsA total of 357 literatures were screened out during the years of 2010-2015. The MJMEs which frequency > 13 were 28. Taken the 28 MJMEs into clustering analysis, then three research hotspots were clustered. ConclusionResearches on imaging of the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in recent five years are mainly in terms of imaging techniques, a comparative study of pathology and endoscopic ultrasonography-fine needle aspiration, imaging and disease treatment.
Objective To study the effectiveness of local excision of low rectal tumor by Mason operation. Methods Twenty-our patients with low rectal tumor underwent Mason operation from 1997-2002 and their information was collected and studied. Results o recurrence was observed in the follow-p period from 5 months to 6 years after operation.Conclusion Mason operation for resection of tumor in low segment of rectum has the advantages of easy manipulation, minimal invasiveness and good exposure in operation.
Objective To investigate the way to reconstruct bone scaffold afterremoval of giant benign bone tumor in extremities of children. Methods From June 1995 to October 2000, 6 cases of benign bone tumor were treated, aged 614 years. Of 6 cases, there were 4 cases of fibrous hyperplasia of bone, 1 case of aneurysmal bone cyst and 1 case of bone cyst; these tumors were located in humerus (2 cases), in radius (1 case), in femur (2 cases) and in tibia(1 case), respectively. All patients were given excision of subperiosteal affected bone fragment, autograft of subperiosteal free fibula(4-14 cm in length) and continuous suture of in situ periosteum; only in 2 cases, humerus was fixed with single Kirschner wire and external fixation of plaster. Results After followed up 18-78 months, all patients achieved bony union without tumor relapse. Fibula defect was repaired , and the function of ankle joint returned normal. ConclusionAutograft of subperiosteal free fibula is an optimal method to reconstruct bone scaffold after excision of giant benign bone tumor in extremities of children.
OBJECTIVE: Both primary and metastatic tumor of spine can influence spinal stability, spinal cord and nerves. The principles of dealing spinal tumor are resection of tumor decompression on spinal cord and reconstruction of spinal stability. METHODS: Since Aug. 1993 to Oct. 1996, 15 cases with spinal tumor were treated, including 4 primary spinal tumor and 11 metastatic tumor. Tumor foci were mainly in thoracic and lumbar spine. Graded by Frankel classification of spinal injuries, there were 1 case of grade A, 1 of grade B, 3 of grade C, 5 of grade D and 5 of grade E. Tumors of upper lumbar spine and thoracic spine were resected through anterior approach. Posterior approach also was adopted once posterior column was affected. Tumors of lower lumbar spine were resected by two-staged operation: firstly, operation through posterior approach to reconstruct spinal stability: secondly, operation through anterior approach. After resection of tumor, the spines were fixed by Kaneda instrument, Steffee plate or Kirschner pins. To fuse the spine, bone grafting was used in benign tumor and bone cement used in malignant tumor. RESULTS: Except one patient died from arrest of bone marrow, the others were followed up for 3 to 20 months. Postoperatively, 11 patients could sit up on one foot with the help of body supporter, and 9 patients could walk in two weeks under careful monitoring. There was no exacerbation of symptom and failure of fixation. The function of spinal cord was improved: 1 case from grade B to grade E, 1 from A to C, 2 from C to E and 4 from D to E. CONCLUSION: The spine can be reconstructed for weight bearing early by internal fixation. The symptom can be relieved and the nervous function can be improved by resection of tumor and decompression.
Objective To discuss the strategies for building the framework of team culture of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) for colorectal cancer. Methods By comprehending the traditional concept of volunteer and probing into the value of traditional team culture, combining the needs of MDT for colorectal cancer, build appropriate team culture and core idea of MDT for colorectal cancer. Results Confirm that building of volunteers groups and the volunteers culture is the core of the team culture of MDT for colorectal cancer. Analyze characters of volunteers groups and the operation strategies, and find the way of maintaining the volunteers culture. Conclusion With the development of volunteers groups and increased participants, the team culture of MDT for colorectal cancer will show more sociality and extent. And it is also the important idea and direction for development in future. As team culture, organization structure and personnel structure supplements each other, adjusting and perfecting the team culture in practice continually is a long-term work for MDT.
