Liver and lung resection for colorectal metastasis

Aim: To examine the survival benefit of liver and lung resection for colorectal metastasis and the potential prognostic factors that affect patient survival. Methods: All patients who had resection of lung or liver metastasis for colorectal metastasis in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong from 1995 to 2004 were retrospectively reviewed. The overall and disease‐free survival was analysed, in particularly between liver and lung metastasis. All factors that may have affected the survival were entered into Cox's proportional hazards regression model to identify significant variables associated with survival. Results: At 5 years, the overall survival of patients who had resection of lung and liver metastasis was 44% and 38%, respectively; the disease‐free survival was 26% and 24%, respectively. Overall and disease‐free survival of patients with resection of lung metastasis was comparable to those with resection of liver metastasis. The differentiations of primary tumour and time to metastasis were shown to be significant prognostic factors influencing overall survival. Those patients with systemic chemotherapy after resection of colorectal metastasis demonstrated a significantly higher probability of overall survival. Conclusion: Resection of lung and liver metastases from colorectal origin was safe and both procedures improved survival. The use of chemotherapy after resection of metastasis significantly improved the overall survival.

A binding study of phospholipase A2 with lecithin,lysolecithin and their tetrahedral intermediates using molecular modeling

We used molecular modeling to examine the binding of 1, 2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (a lecithin), 1-octanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (a lysolecithin) and their tetrahedral intermediates in the catalytic site of phospholipase A₂ (PLA₂). We performed energy minimization on each complex, computed the binding energy, determined the relative binding energy among the complexes and calculated the difference in inter- and intramolecular energies of the components in the complexes. We found that the calculated orientation of the sn-1 ester bond of lysolecithin in the active site is similar to that of the sn-2 ester bond in lecithin, thus permitting PLA₂ to hydrolyze lysolecithin using the same mechanism as it uses to hydrolyze lecithin. On the other hand, the binding of lecithin is energetically more favorable by 4.5 kcal/mol than the binding of lysolecithin to the enzyme, and the binding of the lecithin tetrahedral intermediate is also energetically more favorable by 19.7 kcal/mol than the binding of the lysolecithin tetrahedral intermediate to the enzyme, which explains why lecithin is a better substrate than lysolecithin in the catalytic site. These results indicate that the activation energy for the hydrolysis of lysolecithin is higher than that for lecithin, consistent with the observed slower rate for the hydrolysis of lysolecithin.

Docosahexaenoic acid is superior to eicosapentaenoic acid as the essential fatty acid for growth of grouper, Epinephelus malabaricus.

Juvenile grouper (Epinephelus malabaricus) were fed seven experimental diets, one control diet and one reference diet for 12 wk to determine the dietary requirement of grouper for docosahexaenoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) acids. Each of the seven diets contained 1 g/100 g DHA and EPA in various combinations and 9 g/100 g tristearin. The control diet contained 1 g/100 g trilinolenin and trilinolein (3:1, wt/wt), and no supplemental EPA or DHA. The reference diet contained only natural oils from a mixture of cod liver oil, linseed oil and safflower oil at a ratio of 2:1:1 (wt/wt/wt). Significant differences (P < 0.05) in growth were observed among the dietary treatments but not in survival rate or relative liver weight. Only the diet with the highest DHA/EPA ratio (3:1) promoted significantly greater growth than the control diet. Purified EPA and DHA did not perform better in promoting growth than did the impure EPA and DHA oils. Enhanced growth was observed when the dietary DHA/EPA ratio was greater than 1, indicating that DHA was superior to EPA in promoting fish growth. Neutral lipid (NL) was the predominant lipid fraction (>70%) in both liver and muscle. Tissue NL/polar lipid did not differ among groups except the reference diet group that had a higher ratio (P < 0.05). DHA and EPA levels in the grouper tissues, especially muscle, were highly reflective of dietary levels of DHA and EPA, indicating that direct incorporation was likely. In addition, the 20:1(n-9), concentration in NL fractions seems to be an appropriate indicator of dietary essential fatty acid deficiency in grouper.
