Methods: Human stom- ach neoplasms model was established in nude mice. The nude mice were divided into control group, moderate-dose of rhGH group, low-dose rhGH group, 5-FU group, moderate-dose rhGH/5-FU group, and low-dose rhGH/5-FU group. The results of each group were observed after ten days. Results: After therapy, the body mass of rhGH groups was significantly increased compared with control group (P<0.05), the body mass of rhGH/5-FU groups was significantly increased compared with 5-FU group (P<0.05), but it was no significant difference between rhGH/5-FU groups and control group (P>0.05). The average tumor mass and volume of rhGH groups were not significantly increased compared with control group (P>0.05), but they were significantly reduced in 5-FU group and rhGH/5-FU groups (P<0.05). They were no significant difference between rhGH/5- FU groups and 5-FU group (P>0.05). After treatment, the percentages of S, G0/G1 and G2/M phases and proliferation index (PI) were not significantly changed in rhGH groups compared with control group (P>0.05), and the same with rhGH/5-FU groups compared with 5-FU group (P>0.05). The difference caused by dose of rhGH was not significant. Conclusion: rhGH enhances body mass, does not stimulate tumor growth, and has no adverse effects on tumor bearing nude mice. Combined with flurouracil, rhGH does not influence the efficacy of chemotherapy, and has no effect on tumor cell cycle kinetics.展开更多

TP represents the curative treatment of pancreatic cancer which simultaneously involves the head and the body/tail of the pancreas. Other possible indications for TP comprise multifocal parenchymal diseases, such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, multiple endocrine neoplasms, and chronic pancreatitis. Sometimes, TP is carried out in patients scheduled for pancreaticoduodenectomy(where only the head of the pancreas is removed) when a cancer located in the pancreatic head is intraoperatively found to also extend to the pancreatic body [1].展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Tumors located in the pylorus are technically more complex to resect by endoscopic resection,as the anatomical characteristics of this region can affect the adequate assessment of margins and performance of the procedure.We reported the results of underwater endoscopic mucosal resection(UEMR)of benign mucosal neoplasms located in the pyloric ring.CASE SUMMARY This case series describes 4 patients with 4 mucosal neoplasms located in the pyloric ring.The diameter of each neoplasm was less than 15 mm.We performed UEMR for the lesions.Water immersion enabled slight floating of the lesions,resulting in easy identification.We achieved en bloc resection with a snare and electrosurgical unit.All procedure were performed within 3 min without adverse events.Pathologic examination showed low-grade dysplasia with clear resection margins in one case and hyperplastic polyps in three cases.CONCLUSION UEMR can be an effective and safe treatment method for neoplasms in the gastric pyloric ring.
文摘Objective: To investigate the effect of different doses of recombined growth hormone (rhGH) on stomach neo- plasms implanted in nude mice, and its efficacy in combining with chemotherapy (flurouracil, 5-FU). Methods: Human stom- ach neoplasms model was established in nude mice. The nude mice were divided into control group, moderate-dose of rhGH group, low-dose rhGH group, 5-FU group, moderate-dose rhGH/5-FU group, and low-dose rhGH/5-FU group. The results of each group were observed after ten days. Results: After therapy, the body mass of rhGH groups was significantly increased compared with control group (P<0.05), the body mass of rhGH/5-FU groups was significantly increased compared with 5-FU group (P<0.05), but it was no significant difference between rhGH/5-FU groups and control group (P>0.05).

They were no significant difference between rhGH/5- FU groups and 5-FU group (P>0.05).

The difference caused by dose of rhGH was not significant. Conclusion: rhGH enhances body mass, does not stimulate tumor growth, and has no adverse effects on tumor bearing nude mice. Combined with flurouracil, rhGH does not influence the efficacy of chemotherapy, and has no effect on tumor cell cycle kinetics.

文摘Gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms(gNENs)are a rare type of gastric neoplasm,even if their frequency is increasing according to the latest epidemiologic revisions of the main registries worldwide.They are divided into three main subtypes,with different pathogeneses,biological behaviors,and clinical characteristics.GNEN heterogeneity poses challenges,therefore these neoplasms require different management strategies.Update the knowledge on the endoscopic treatment options to manage g-NENs.This manuscript is a narrative review of the literature.In recent years,many advances have been made not only in the knowledge of both the pathogenesis and the molecular profiling of gNENs but also in the endoscopic expertise towards innovative treatment options,which proved to be less aggressive without losing the capa-bility of being radical.The endoscopic approach is increasingly applied in the field of gastrointestinal(GI)luminal neoplasms,and this is true not only for adenocarcinomas but also for gNENs.In particular,different techniques have been described for the endoscopic removal of suspected lesions,ranging from classical polypectomy(cold or hot snare)to endoscopic mucosal resection(both with“en bloc”or piecemeal technique),endoscopic submucosal dissection,and endoscopic full-thickness resection.GNENs comprise different subtypes of neoplasms with distinct management and prognosis.New endoscopic techniques offer a wide variety of approaches for GI localized neoplasms,which demonstrated to be appropriate and effective also in the case of gNENs.Correct evaluation of size,site,morphology,and clinical context allows the choice of tailored therapy in order to guarantee a definitive treatment.
文摘Objective:To systematically evaluate and compare the safety and effectiveness of esophagojejunostomy and traditional esophagojejunostomy in total laparoscopic total gastrectomy in the treatment of gastric cancer,providing evidence-based medical evidence for clinical practice.Methods:PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases were searched by computer,and the retrieval time was up to December 2021.Relevant literatures were obtained,and eligible studies were gradually screened and included.Cochrane ROB bias risk assessment tool and NOS scale were used to evaluate the quality of the articles,and required data were extracted from high-quality literatures.Finally,meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3 software.Results:Eleven studies were finally included,including 1398 patients,including 566 patients receiving overlap anastomosis and 832 patients receiving traditional anastomosis.The results show that overlap anastomosis and traditional anastomosis had the advantages of operation time(MD=0.63,95%CI=7.22,8.48,P=0.88),postoperative first exhaust time(MD=-0.13,95%CI=0.43,0.18,P=0.42),postoperative first feeding time(MD=0.02,95%CI=0.33,0.37,P=0.91),anastomotic leakage(OR=1.38,95%CI=0.73,2.63,P=0.32),and postoperative hospital stay(MD=-0.16,95%CI=0.82,0.51,P=0.64)had no significant differences(all P>0.05).Compared with traditional anastomosis,overlap anastomosis had longer anastomosis time(MD=5.60,95%CI=0.59,10.62,P=0.03),higher incidence of anastomotic bleeding(OR=2.48,95%CI=1.08,5.69,P=0.03),less intraoperative bleeding(MD=-6.42,MD=-6.42,OR=2.48,95%CI=1.08,P=0.03).95%CI=10.28,-2.56,P=0.001)and anastomotic stenosis(OR=0.17,95%CI=0.06,0.46,P=0.0006).Conclusion:Overlap esophagojejunostomy is a safe,effective and prognostic surgical method,and is expected to become the standard esophagojejunostomy in total laparoscopic total gastrectomy.
