Treatment of Primary Liver Cancer with Postoperative After-Loading Radiotherapy and Gemcitabine

Objective： To evaluate the curative effectiveness of postoperative after-loading radiotherapy with the use of gemcitabine in 22 patients with primary liver cancer. Methods： From Oct. 1999 to Dec. 2001, 22 patients with primary liver cancer underwent postoperative after-loading radiotherapy 3-10 days after hepatectomy and chemotherapy using gemcitabine （1400 mg every week for 3 weeks, repeated after one week interval, total cycles were 6） and compared with 22 cases of sole hepatectomy. Three-six catheters were placed for irradiation after hepatectomy. The single-dose of after-loading radiotherapy was 10 Gy, 24 sessions per person. Results＇. The rate of AFP negative-reversion was 100% （17/17） in the treated group, higher than in control group （62.5%, 10/16, P〈0.05）. In the treated group, the 1-year relapse rate, metastasis rate and survival rate were 18.2% （4/22）, 0 and 100% （22/22） respectively, while in the control group they were 45.5% （10/22）, 13.6% （3/22） and 77.3% （17/22） respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups in relapse rate, metastasis rate and survival rate within a year （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Postoperative after-loading radiotherapy with gemcitabine is an effective way for the treatment of primary liver cancer.

Granular cell tumor of stomach: A case report and review of literature

Granular cell tumor （GCT） was described for the first time by Abrikosoff in 1926. It is a relatively rare neoplasm that may occur at many sites, but most commonly in the skin or soft tissues. The occurrence of GCT in the gastrointestinal tract is rare, accounting approximately for 8% of all tumors, among which the most common site is the esophagus, whereas gastric localization is very rare. Gastric GCTs can be solitary or, more frequently, associated with other gastrointestinal localization. Although GCTs are usually clinically and histologically benign, some malignant cases have been reported. Histologically, these tumors consist of polygonal and fusiform cells disposed in compact ＂nests＂ and immunohistochemical staining for S-100 protein supports the proposed derivation from Schwann cells. A correct preoperative diagnosis of this tumor can only be made in 50% of all patients and it is always based on endoscopic biopsy. Laparoscopic or conventional wedge resection represents the treatment of choice. In this study, the authors reported a case of a 49-year-old woman with a solitary granular cell tumor of the stomach with infiltrative pattern, successfully treated with surgical resection. A review of literature is also presented with emphasis on diagnostic criteria concerning the malignant form.

Evaluation of contrast-enhanced helical hydro-CT in staging gastric cancer

AIM： TO discuss the helical computed tomography （CT） characteristics of gastric cancer and evaluate the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced helical hydro-CT （HHCT） in staging gastric cancer. METHODS： A total of 50 patients with gastric cancer were included in this study. The CT findings in them were retrospectively analyzed and correlated with pathologic findings at surgery. All patients were preoperatively imaged by plain and contrast-enhanced helical CT afer orally ingesting 1 000-1 500 mL water. Peristalsis was minimized by intravenous administration of spasmolytics. RESULTS： The foci of gastric cancer became more prominent in all the 50 patients and showed strong enhancement in contrast-enhanced HHCT. The tumor was located at the gastric cardia in 14 cases, at the gastric fundus in 3 cases, at the gastric body in 8 cases, at the gastric antrum in 4 cases, at the gastric fundus and the body in 8 cases, at the gastric body and antrum in 11 cases, and at three segments of the stomach in 2 cases. The CT features of gastric cancer were focal or diffuse mural thickening, soft tissue mass, cancerous ulcer, stenosis of stomach, infiltration to adjacent tissues, lymph node and distant metastases. Strong contrast enhancement of the gastric wall was closely related to gastric cancer. The accuracy rate of contrast-enhanced HHCT in staging gastric cancer was 86% （43/50）. The detection rate of lymph node metastases by CT was 60% （12/20）. CONCLUSION： Contrast-enhanced HHCT is a reliable method to diagnose and stage gastric cancer.

Laparoscopic versus open appendectomy: Which way to go?

AIM: To compare the outcome of laparoscopic versus open appendectomy. METHODS: Prospectively collected data from 293 consecutive patients with acute appendicitis were studied. These comprised of 165 patients who underwent conventional appendectomy and 128 patients treated laparoscopically. The two groups were compared with respect to operative time, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain, complication rate and cost. RESULTS: There were no statistical differences regarding patient characteristics between the two groups. Conversion to laparotomy was necessary in 2 patients (1.5%). Laparoscopic appendectomy was associated with a shorter hospital stay (2.2 d vs 3.1 d, P = 0.04), and lower incidence of wound infection (5.3% vs 12.8%, P = 0.03). However, in patients with complicated disease, intra-abdominal abscess formation was more common after laparoscopic appendectomy (5.3% vs 2.1%, P = 0.002). The operative time and analgesia requirements were similar in the two groups. The cost of treatment was higher by 370 € in the laparoscopic group. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic appendectomy is as safe and effi cient as open appendectomy, provided surgical experience and equipment are available.

Gastrointestinal bezoars: A retrospective analysis of 34 cases

AIM: Bezoars (BZ) are the most common foreign bodies of gastrointestinal tract. Clinical manifestations vary depending on the location of BZ from no symptoms to acute abdominal syndrome. When located in small bowel, they frequently cause small bowel obstruction (SBO). We aimed to present our experience by reviewing literature.METHODS: Thirty-four patients with gastrointestinal BZ were presented. The data were collected from hospital records and analyzed retrospectively. Morbidity and mortality rates were statistically analyzed between the subgroups according to SBO and endoscopic or surgical treatment modalities.RESULTS: The 34 patients had phytobezoars (PBZ). Two patients with mental retardation and trichotillomania had trichobezoars (TBZ). More than half of them (55.88%) had previous gastric surgery. Also most of them had small bowel bezoars resulting in obstruction. Surgical and endoscopic morbidity rates were 32.14% and 14.28% respectively.The total morbidity rate of this study was 29.41%. Four patients in surgically treated group died. There was no death in endoscopically treated group. The total and surgical mortality rates were 11.76% and 14.28% respectively. The differences in morbidity and mortality rates between the subgroups were not statistically significant.CONCLUSION: BZ are commonly seen in stomach and small intestine. SBO is the most common complication.When uncomplicated, endoscopic or surgical removal can be applied easily.

Surgical management in biliary restricture after Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for bile duct injury

AIM: To discuss the surgical method and skill of biliary restricture after Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for bile duct injury. METHODS: From November 2005 to December 2006, eight patients with biliary restricture after Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for bile duct injury were admitted to our hospital. Their clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Bile duct injury was caused by cholecys- tectomy in the eight cases, including seven cases with laparoscopic cholecystectomy and one with mini- incision choleystectomy. According to the classification of Strasberg, type E1 injury was found in one patient, type E2 injury in three, type E3 injury in two and type E4 injury in two patients. Both of the type E4 injury patients also had a vascular lesion of the hepatic artery. Six patients received Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for the second time, and one of them who had type E4 injury with the right hepatic artery disruption received right hepatectomy afterward. One patient who had type E4 injury with the proper hepatic artery lesion underwent liver transplantation, and the remaining one with type E3 injury received external biliary drainage. All the patients recovered fairly well postoperatively. CONCLUSION: Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is still the main approach for such failed surgical cases with bile duct injury. Special attention should be paid to concomitant vascular injury in these cases. The optimal timing and meticulous and excellent skills are essential to the success in this surgery.

Treatment for isolated loco-regional recurrence of gastric adenocarcinoma: Does surgery play a role?

AIM： To evaluate the role of surgical treatment for isolated Ioco-regional recurrences of operated gastric adenocarcinoma. METHODS： Among the 837 patients operated for gastric adenocarcinoma between December 1979 and April 2004, 713 （85%） underwent resection with curative intent. A retrospective review of a prospectively collected gastric cancer database was carried out. Overall recurrence rate was 44% （315 cases）, with 75% occurring within the first 2 years from the operation. Isolated L-R recurrences were observed in 38 （12%） patients. Symptomatic lesions were observed in 27 （71%）. RESULTS： Six （16%） patients were macroscopically resected with curative intent. The recurrence was located in the gastric stump after a STG in three patients, in the esophagojejunal anastomosis after a TG in two patients and in the gastric bed after a TG in one patient. Surgical procedures consisted of three secondary TG, two esophagojejunal resection and one excision of an extraluminal recurrence. Postoperative complications occurred in two patients （33%）, including one anastomotic leakage and one hemorrhage. The latter patient died of sepsis 35 d after the surgery （mortality rate 17%）. All patients died of recurrent gastric cancer： 2 within 1 year from surgery （8 and 11 mo, respectively）, 2 after 16 and 17 mo respectively and 1 after 28 mo from the second operation. CONCLUSION： Surgery plays a very limited role in the treatment for isolated Ioco-regional recurrence of gastric adenocarcinoma.

URETERAL INJURY DURING GYNECOLOGICAL LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERIES: REPORT OF TWELVE CASES

Objective To investigate ureteral injury during gynecological laparoscopic surgeries.Methods From January 1990 to December 2005, 12868 gynecological laparoscopic surgeries were conducted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital with 12 ureteral injuries reported. The present study investigated several aspects, including surgical indications, uterine size, pelvic adhesion, operative procedures, symptoms, diagnostic time and methods, injury site and type, subsequent treatment, and prognosis. Results The incidence of ureteral injury was 0.093% (12/12868) in all cases, 0.42% (11/2586) in laparoscopic hysterectomy [laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) or total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH)], and 0.01% (1/10282) in non-LAVH surgeries. Enlarged uterus, pelvic adhesion, and endometrosis were risk factors associated with ureteral injury. Only one injury was found intraoperatively while others were found postoperatively. The injury sites were at the pelvic brim (2 cases) or the lower part of ureter (10 cases). Patients were treated with ureteral stenting (effective in 2 cases) or laparotomy and open repair. Prognoses were favorable in most cases. Conclusions Most laparoscopic ureteral injuries occur during laparoscopic hysterectomy. Further evaluation is required when ureteral injury is suspected, and surgical repair is the major treatment for ureteral injury.

Clinical practice guidelines for hepatocellular carcinoma:the first evidence based guidelines from Japan

Hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） is one of the leading causes of cancer death in Japan, ranked 3^rd in males and 5^th in females. Thanks to recent progress, there are several definitive treatment modalities available for HCC, including surgery （liver resection and transplantation）, ablation therapy, and transarterial chemoembolization （TACE）. It is fortunate for both patients and doctors to have multiple treatment options, however, there have been very few evidence-based guidelines for decision-making. Sup- ported by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, we have compiled the ＂Clinical practice guidelines for hepatocellular carcinoma＂. This set of guidelines covers 6 fields for HCC, including prevention, diagnosis and surveillance, surgery, chemotherapy, TACE, and ablation therapy. We have surveyed 7192 publications on HCC extracted mainly from MEDLINE （1966-2002）, and selected 334 articles to form 58 pairs of research questions and recommendations. For convenience in practical use, we have also created algorithms for the surveillance and treatment of HCC.

Prognostic factors of young patients with colon cancer after surgery

AIM： To investigate the prognostic factors of 96 young patients with colon cancer within a cancer center by univariate and multivariate analysis. METHODS： A total of 723 patients with colon cancer were treated surgically during a period of 10 years. Ninty six of them were 40 years old or younger. R0, R1 and R2 operations were performed in 69 （71.9%）, 4 （4.1%） and 23 patients （24%）, respectively. Left hemicolectomy was performed in 43 patients, right hemicolectomy in 37 patients, transverse colon resection in 9 patients and low anterior resection in 7 patients. Cox multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of survival. RESULTS： The operation mortality was 0%, 54 patients died within 111 mo after operation due to occurrence or metastases of the tumor. Liver, lung and bone metastases occurred in 3, 1 and 5 patients, respectively. The mean survival time for all patients was 77.9 ± 5.01 mo and the overall 3-, 5- and 10- year survival rates were 66.68%, 58.14% and 46.54%, respectively. In the univariate survival analysis, patient age, type of operation, radical resection, blood transfusion, histological type, diameter of tumor, depth of tumor invasion, lymphatic invasion, distant metastases, liver metastases and TNM stage were found to be predictors of survival in young patients with colon cancer. In the Cox-regression analysis, blood transfusion and lymphatic invasion were determined as independent prognostic factors of survival. CONCLUSIONS： Age, type of operation, radical resection, blood transfusion, histological type, diameter of tumor, depth of tumor invasion, lymphatic invasion, distant metastasis and TNM stage are the predictors of survival in young patients with colon cancer after surgery.

Intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma:Is there really an almost exclusively female predominance?

Biliary cystic tumors,such as cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas,are rare cystic tumors of the liver,accounting for less than 5% of all intrahepatic cysts of biliary origin.Biliary cystadenomas have been known to occur predominantly in women (> 85%),and 38%-44% of biliary cystadenocarcinomas have occurred in males.We wrote this letter to comment on a brief article (World J Gasteroenterol 2011 January 21;17(3):361-365) regarding a case of intrahepatic biliary cystic neoplasm treated with surgery.The adenoma-carcinoma sequence is the possible mechanism of carcinogenesis.If the carcinogenesis of biliary cystadenocarcinoma occurs in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence,we believe that the male-to-female ratio of cystadenoma should be higher than the incidence rate that has been reported to date.

Pilot study of postoperative adjuvant chemoradiation for advanced gastric cancer:Adjuvant 5-FU/cisplatin and chemoradiation with capecitabine

AIM： To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of postoperative chemoradiation using FP chemotherapy and oral capecitabine during radiation for advanced gastric cancer following curative resection. METHODS： Thirty-one patients who had underwent a potentially curative resection for Stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ （M0） gastric cancer were enrolled. Therapy consists of one cycle of FP （continuous infusion of 5-FU 1000 mg/m^2 on d 1 to 5 and cisplatin 60 mg/m^2 on d 1） followed by 4500 cGy （180 cGy/d） with capecitabine （1650 mg/m daily throughout radiotherapy）. Four wk after completion of the radiotherapy, patients received three additional cycles of FP every three wk. The median follow-up duration was 22.2 mo. RESULTS： The 3-year disease free and overall survival in this study were 82.7% and 83.4%, respectively. Four patients （12.9%） showed relapse during follow-up. Eight patients did not complete all planned adjuvant therapy. Grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia in 50.2%, anemia in 12.9%, thrombocytopenia in 3.2% and nausea/ vomiting in 3.2%. Neither grade 3/4 hand foot syndrome nor treatment related febrile neutropenia or death were observed. CONCLUSION： These preliminary results suggest that this postoperative adjuvant chemoradiation regimen of FP before and after capecitabine and concurrent radiotherapy appears well tolerated and offers a comparable toxicity profile to the chemoradiation regimen utilized in INTo0116. This treatment modality allowed successful Ioco-regional control rate and 3-year overall survival.

Concomitant gastric carcinoid and gastrointestinal stromal tumors:A case report

A gastric carcinoid tumor concomitant with gastrointestinal stromal tumor （GIST） is rarely encountered in clinical practice. We report a 65-year-old female who had a 0.8 cm gastric carcinoid tumor on the posterior wall of the upper gastric corpus detected during an esophagogastroduodenoscopy at a routine physical examination, and a concomitant 1.1 cm GIST on the anterior wall of the upper gastric corpus incidentally found during surgery of the gastric carcinoid tumor. Normal serum gastrin level and histological findings suggested that she had a type 111 gastric carcinoid tumor and a GIST which were categorized a very low risk of malignancy, based on their small size and lack of mitosis. Both tumors were treated successfully by surgical excision. The patient had an uneventful recovery. Neither recurrence nor metastasis was found after a 28-mo follow-up.

Anomalous origin of left pulmonary artery branch from the aorta with Fallot's tetralogy:one case report

We report the case of a ten-year-old boy who had often presented with respiratory distress since born. Chest X-ray showed an enlarged right ventricle. Echocardiography demonstrated characteristic features of Fallot＇s tetralogy and the left pulmonary artery could not be visualized. However, cardiac catheterization disclosed that the left pulmonary artery had an anomalous origin in the ascending aorta. The patient underwent total surgical correction of the defects. Nine days later, he was discharged. We present the results of a literature review of the incidence, physiopathological, clinical, diagnostic, and surgical characteristics of this rare disease.

Low intensity ultrasound-induced apoptosis in human gastric carcinoma cells

AIM： To investigate the low intensity ultrasound （US）- induced apoptosis in human gastric carcinoma cells and its potential mechanism and to suggest a new therapeutic approach to gastric carcinoma. METHODS： Human SGC-7901 gastric carcinoma cells were cultured in vitro and irradiated by low intensity US for 10 min at different intensities with different incubation times after irradiation. Morphologic changes were examined under microscope with trypan blue staining and then the percentage of early apoptotic cells was detected by flow cytometry （FCM） with double staining of fiuorescein isothiocyanate （FITC）- Annexin V/propidium iodide （PI）. Two-dimensional electrophoresis （2DE） was used to get the protein profile and some proteins differently expressed after US irradiation were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry （MALDI-TOF-MS）. Functional analysis was performed to investigate the mechanism of US-induced cell apoptosis. RESULTS： The percentage of apoptotic cells increased about 10% after US irradiation （12.0 W/cm^2, 12 h culture）, The percentage of early apoptosis and secondary necrosis in the US-irradiated cells increased with the increased US intensity. Moreover, apoptotic cells increased with the increased culture time after US irradiation and reached its maximum at about 12 h.Several new proteins appeared after US irradiation and were up or down regulated more than 2 times. Some heat shock proteins （HSPs） were found to be associated with the signal process simulating the apoptosis of cells. CONCLUSION： Low intensity US could induce apoptosis in human gastric carcinoma cells. US-induced apoptosis is related to US intensity/culture time. US-induced apoptosis may be caspases-dependent and endoplasmic reticulum （ER） stress-triggered apoptosis may also contribute to it. Proteomic experimental system is useful in finding the protein alteration in carcinoma cells after US irradiation, helping to develop a new cancer therapy.

Portal hypertensive colopathy in patients with liver cirrhosis

AIM: In patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension, portal hypertensive colopathy is thought to be an important cause of lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence of colonic mucosal changes in patients with liver cirrhosis and its clinical significance. METHODS: We evaluated the colonoscopic findings and liver function of 47 patients with liver cirrhosis over a 6-year period. The main cause of liver cirrhosis was post-viral hepatitis (68%) related to hepatitis B (6%) or C (62%) infection. All patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to examine the presence of esophageal varices, cardiac varices, and congestive gastropathy, as well as a full colonoscopy to observe changes in colonic mucosa. Portal hypertensive colopathy was defined endoscopically in patients with vascular ectasia, redness, and blue vein. Vascular ectasia was classified into two types: type 1, solitary vascular ectasia; and type 2, diffuse vascular ectasia. RESULTS: Overall portal hypertensive colopathy was present in 31 patients (66%), including solitary vascular ectasia in 17 patients (36%), diffuse vascular ectasia in 20 patients (42%), redness in 10 patients (21%) and blue vein in 6 patients (12%). As the Child-Pugh class increased in severity, the prevalence of portal hypertensive colopathy rose. Child-Pugh class B and C were significantly associated with portal hypertensive colopathy. Portal hypertensive gastropathy, esophageal varices, ascites and hepatocellular carcinoma were not related to occurrence of portal hypertensive colopathy. Platelet count was significantly associated with portal hypertensive colopathy, but prothrombin time, serum albumin level, total bilirubin level and serum ALT level were not related to occurrence of portal hypertensive colopathy. CONCLUSION: As the Child-Pugh class worsens and platelet count decreases, the prevalence of portal hypertensive colopathy increases in patients with liver cirrhosis. A colonoscopic examination in patients with liver cirrhosis is indicated, especially those with worsening Child-Pugh class and/or decreasing platelet count, to prevent complications such as lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
