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.

试论七情发生和脑主神明与抑郁症病机证治的关系

抑郁症是一组以抑郁心境自我体验为中心的临床症状群或状态.中医多将其归在郁证之类,对其理论解释的重点多是在心主神明论指导下的以五脏为中心的肝,临床治疗亦多遵疏肝解郁这一基本大法,并取得了一定成效.     

大学生一般自我效能感与防御方式的相关研究

目的 探讨大学生一般自我效能感与防御方式之间的关系。方法 采用“一般自我效能感量表”及“防御方式问卷”，对390名大学生的一般自我效能感和防御方式进行了测量。结果 大学生一般自我效能感性别差异非常显著（P〈0．01），而城乡差异不显著（P〉0．05）；大学生防御方式的性别差异显著（P〈0．05），而城乡差异不显著（P〉0．05）；大学生的一般自我效能感与防御方式有显著相关。结论 一般自我效能感是影响大学生防御方式的重要因素。     

论太阳伤寒与"非典"

通过比较，发现仲景所论之太阳伤寒与传染性非典型肺炎二者之间在病因、病机、发病、传变等方面存在诸多一致或相似，因此根据辨证论治的精神，提出二者治疗可以互通，并针对传染性非典型肺炎在早期、进展期、恢复期的不同症状表现，分别指出了《伤寒杂病论》中宜投用的经方。     

胆囊炎和胆石症的饮食疗法

胆囊炎、胆石症的发病及复发与饮食密切相关。中医素有“药食同源”之说,《内经》曾有“虚则补之,药以祛之,食以随之”和“谷肉果菜,食养尽之等饮食疗法的论述。饮食疗法简称食疗,首先应遵循食疗原则,主要是注重辨证施食,并辅以药膳。食疗原则胆囊炎、胆石症的食疗目的是注意饮食习惯避免诱发疼痛发作(即胆绞痛),并保证胆囊收缩正常,使胆汁排泄通畅,去除引起胆汁淤滞的因素,抑制胆石的生成。其食疗的基本原则是:1饮食规律忌暴饮暴食。2控制脂肪摄入,适量摄取蛋白质3材料要新鲜,烹调要柔软,口味要清淡。4少吃辛辣品,禁饮酒。5多吃蔬菜、水果,…     

Nerve growth factor and tyrosine kinase A in human salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma: expression patterns and effects on in vitro invasive behavior.

PURPOSE: Perineural invasion is a frequent occurrence in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and may prevent complete surgical resection. Studies have indicated that nerve growth factor (NGF) and its high-affinity receptor tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) may play a role in perineural invasion in several malignancies in which perineural invasion is observed. The present study was conducted to investigate the expression of NGF and TrkA in salivary ACC and to examine the effects of NGF on adhesion, migration and invasion capacities of a salivary ACC cell line (SACC-83) in vitro. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Expression of NGF and TrkA was explored using immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded tissues of 32 cases of salivary ACC. The effects of NGF on in vitro adhesion, migration, and invasion capacities of the SACC-83 cell line were examined using an MTT assay and a modified Boyden chamber assay respectively. RESULTS: In ACC specimens, 31 (96.9%) and 32 (100%) tumors showed immunoreactivity for NGF and TrkA respectively. Significant correlations were found between NGF/TrkA expression levels and perineural invasion (P < .05). In cell adhesion assay, the percent adherences of SACC-83 cells co-cultured with 25 ng/ml NGF at 1.5 hours and 5, 25 ng/ml NGF at 6 hours were significantly higher than that co-cultured with 0 ng/ml NGF (P < .05). However, high concentration of NGF (500 ng/ml) resulted in a significant inhibition of invasion (P < .05). CONCLUSION: Overexpression of NGF and TrkA in human salivary ACC tissues may constitute a reason for perineural invasion in salivary ACC.
