Objective To evaluate the long-term efficacy of extended and standard surgery for carcinoma of head of pancreas by using meta-analysis. Methods Related articls (1990-2012) were searched in Pubmed, WOS, Embase, WanFang, SinoMed, and CNKI. Study on quality of these literatures were evaluated by using the Jadad score. The patients with pancreatic head carcinoma underwent extended radical resection and standard radical resection were classified to treatment group and control group, respectively. The mortality, morbidity, and survival rates of 1-, 3-, and 5-year after operation in the two groups were evaluated by using meta-analysis. Results A total of 11 studies fitted the selection crit-eria, including 744 patients. Among them 357 cases were in standard radical resection group and 387 cases in the extended radical resection group. The results of meta-analysis showed that: ①The morbidity after operation did not significantly differed between the extended radical resection group and standard radical resection group (OR=1.360, 95% CI=0.990-1.870, P=0.050). ②The mortality of the two groups did not significantly differed (OR=0.870, 95% CI=0.430-1.760,P=0.700). ③There were no significant differences in survival rates of 1-, 3-, and 5-year between the two groups (OR=0.880, 95% CI=0.450-1.720, P=0.710;OR=0.940, 95% CI=0.590-1.480,P=0.710;OR=1.000, 95% CI=0.600-1.67, P=1.000). Conclusion Compared with standard radical resection, extended radical resection can not improve the survival rates of 1-, 3-, and 5-year after operation, and can’t reduce the mortality and morbidity after operation
Objective To summarize the research progress of CD90 protein. Methods The demestic and international published literatures related to CD90 protein in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results CD90 protein was involved in the cell-cell and cell-cytoplasm function. CD90 protein could promote axons growth and neural regeneration, and could induce apoptosis of thymus gland cells and stromal cells. CD90 protein participated in cell adhesion, extravasation and transfer, and the regulation of fibrosis. CD90 protein was a potential marker for cancer stem cells. Conclusion CD90 protein is very important in development of many diseases, and can provide a new molecular target to diagnose and treat neoplasms.
Objective To investigate the impact of laparoscopic versus. open hepatic resection for liver cancer on clinical rehabilitation and humoral immune function in patients organism. Methods Forty-four patients of laparoscopic and open left-lateral sectionectomy from January 2010 to June 2012 were selected, including 22 patients of laparoscopy group and 22 patients of conventional laparotomy group. The levels of IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C4, C reactive protein (CRP), IL-2, IL-6, and TNF-α in peripheral blood of patients on the last day before operation, first day and 5th day after operation were determinated by using ELISA assay. At the same time, the operative time, intraoperative bleeding, hospitalization time, and complications after operation between two groups were compared. Results The postoperative analgesic using time, first time eating, and hospitalization time in laparoscopic group were (1.9±0.8) days, (2.2±0.5) days, and (6.3±1.3) days, respectively, they were shorter than that in conventional laparotomy group (P<0.05). The operative time, intraoperative bleeding, complication rate, and mortality in two groups were not significant differences(P>0.05) . Compared with before operation, the levels of C3, C4, IgA, IgG, IgM, and IL-2 on the first day after oper-ation in two groups were obviusly reduced, the levels of CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α on the first day after operation in two groups were significantly increased. The levels of C3, C4, lgA, IgG, lgM, and IL-2 on the first day after operation in conventional laparotomy group were significantly decreased than that in laparoscopic group (P<0.05). On the 5th day after operation, the levels of C3, C4, lgA, IgG, lgM, and IL-2 of laparoscopy group increased, the levels of CRP, IL-6,and TNF-α were reduced,that were no difference compared with before operation. Compared with before operation,the levels of C3, C4, lgA, IgG, lgM, and IL-2 of conventional laparotomy group were still at a low level state, and the levels of CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α were still at a high level state on the 5th day after operation. Conclusions Laparoscopic resection of liver cancer after operation, the patients’ recovery are quickly, and the impact on humoral immune function of laparoscopic radical resection for liver cancer patients is significantly less than that conventional laparotomy.
