Impact of medical and surgical intervention on survival in patients with cholangiocarcinoma

AIM:To examine surgical and medical outcomes for patients with cholangiocarcinoma using a populationbased cancer registry.METHODS:Using the California Cancer Registry’s Cancer Surveillance Program,patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma treated in Los Angeles County from 1988 to 2006 were identified and evaluated for clinical and pathologic factors and therapies received(surgery,radiation,and chemotherapy).The surgical cohort was further categorized into three treatment groups:patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy,adjuvant chemoradiation,or underwent surgery alone(no chemotherapy or radiation administered).Survival was assessed by Kaplan-Meier method;and Cox proportional hazard modeling was used in multivariate analysis.RESULTS:Of 825 patients,60.2% received no treatment.Of the remaining 328 patients,18.5% chemotherapy only,7.4% chemoradiation,and 13.8% underwent surgery.More male patients underwent surgical resection(P = 0.004).Surgical patients were younger than the patients receiving chemotherapy or chemoradiation(P < 0.001).Of the surgical cohort(n = 114),60.5% underwent surgery alone while 39.5% underwent surgery plus adjuvant therapy(chemotherapy n = 20;chemoradiation,n = 21)(P < 0.001).Median survival for all patients in the study was 6.6 mo.Median survival was highest for patients who underwent surgery(23 mo),whereas both chemotherapy(9 mo) and chemoradiation(8 mo) alone were each less effective(P < 0.001).By multivariate analysis,extent of disease,receipt of surgery,and administration of chemotherapy(with/without surgery) were independent predictors of overall survival.CONCLUSION:This study demonstrates that surgery is a critical treatment modality.Multimodality treatment has yet to be standardized,but play a role in optimal therapy for cholangiocarcinoma.     

金属对金属大头径微创全髋关节置换术治疗青中年股骨头坏死的临床研究

目的探讨金属对金属（金对金）大头径假体微创全髋关节置换术（THA）治疗青中年股骨头坏死Ⅲ、Ⅳ期的临床疗效。方法本组32例（35髋）青中年股骨头缺血性坏死Ⅲ、Ⅳ期患者,年龄24～59岁,平均45岁,术前髋关节Harris评分平均（37．9±7．5）分;以改良后外侧小切口、肌间隙人路、充分保留关节动力性组织结构为特征的金对金大头径微创THA治疗。术中严格采取正确的假体植入技术,术中保留完整的软骨下骨和髋臼横韧带,击入臼杯时一次性安装成功,正确运用万古霉素预防感染。术后口服利伐沙班片抗凝,术后12h开放负压引流及卧床行功能锻炼,术后第2天拔除引流管后扶拐下地部分负重行走,术后2—3周患者即可弃拐完全负重行走。结果本组32例35髋患者均获随访,随访时间为12个月～6年,平均为4年。所有患者切口均一期愈合,无深静脉血栓形成、关节脱位、坐骨神经损伤、髋臼及股骨疲劳骨折、关节疼痛等严重并发症,X线片示髋关节假体位置均良好,无松动、移位、股骨柄下沉、假体周围骨折等表现。末次随访Harris评分由术前平均（37．9±7．5）分,提高至术后平均（92．2±4．6）分,前后比较有统计学意义（t=44．341,P〈0．05）。所有患者末次随访时髋关节功能明显优于术前,均对治疗效果满意,完全恢复正常生活及工作。结论采用金对金大头径微创THA治疗青中年股骨头坏死Ⅲ、Ⅳ期患者,能够明显降低手术风险,缩短卧床时问,迅速恢复髋关节功能,减少手术并发症,取得了满意的近期临床疗效。随着基础和临床研究的不断深入,金对金大头径髋关节假体的长期疗效还需要进一步探讨。     

热休克蛋白72肽结合区对肾小管上皮间质转分化的影响

目的 探讨热休克蛋白72肽结合区在肾小管上皮间质转分化(EMT)过程中的作用和可能机制.方法 应用质粒转染方法分别诱导热休克蛋白72(HSP72)野生型、肽结合区缺失型(HSP72-△PBD)和肽结合区(PBD)的表达.用转化生长因子β1(TGF-β1)刺激大鼠肾小管上皮细胞(NRK-52E)48 h,Western印迹和免疫荧光染色检测细胞E-钙黏蛋白(cadherin),α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(SMA),HSP72和Smad3/磷酸化(p)-Smad3蛋白表达.结果 TGF-β1(10 μg/L)刺激NRK-52E细胞48 h后上调α-SMA和下调E-cadherin蛋白表达水平.Western印迹及细胞免疫荧光显示,过表达HSP72和PBD能明显减轻TGF-β1诱导的NRK-52E细胞E-cadherin蛋白表达下调和α-SMA蛋白表达上调,而过表达HSP72-△PBD不能改变上述蛋白的表达.此外,过表达HSP72和PBD显著抑制Smad3的磷酸化.结论 HSP72抑制Smad3活化和EMT的发生可能与PBD的功能有关.

高气压暴露对大鼠血浆内皮素-1含量、血清一氧化氮含量、一氧化氮合酶活性的影响

目的 探讨高气压暴露对大鼠血浆内皮素-1(endothelin-1,ET-1)含量、血清一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)含量、一氧化氮合酶(nitric oxide synthase,NOS)活性的影响.方法 40只SD大鼠随机分为5组.A组为对照组,B组0.7 MPa空气暴露后缓慢减压,C组0.7 MPa空气暴露后快速减压,D组0.147 MPa纯氧暴露后减压,E组0.250 MPa纯氧暴露后减压.各组暴露时间均为60 min.采用放射免疫方法测定血浆ET-1含量,硝酸还原酶法测定血清NO含量,比色法测定血清NOS活性.结果 与对照组相比,安全减压组和高压氧组的血浆ET-1含量明显升高(P<0.05),原因可能与高分压氧有关(PO2=0.147 MPa/0.250 MPa);快速减压组血清NO含量、NOS活性明显升高(P<0.05),与血浆ET-1含量升高的3个组相比,血清NO、NOS升高得更为显著(P<0.01).结论 NO与ET-1在机体对高气压暴露的反应中呈拮抗关系.高气压与高压氧暴露导致血浆ET-1的释放增加,但快速减压刺激血管内皮细胞产生更多的NO,这种机制可能是通过提高血浆中的NOS活性实现的,这个现象可能是血管内皮系统对血管内气泡产生的应激性反应之一.     

Ventral hernia repair: a study of current practice

Ventral wall hernias are common; despite this, there are no guidelines on the best surgical management. The aim of this study was to examine the types of repair in use for abdominal wall hernias in the West of Scotland over a 3-month period. Data were gathered on 120 patients. There were 60 incisional, 32 umbilical, and 28 epigastric hernias. The main indication for repair was pain (78%), while 12 patients (10%), presented acutely with incarceration or strangulation. The most common method of repair was sutured (55%), followed by mesh (29%) and Mayo repair (16%). There was no correlation between use of mesh and hernia size or whether repair was for a recurrent hernia. Surgical practice varies widely in the repair of ventral wall hernias. Clinical trials are required to establish the best method of repair for this common condition. Electronic Publication
