Objective To research the effect of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) on inflammatory response and nutritional condition after operation for patients with gastrointestinal malignancies. Methods Forty patients with gastrointestinal malignancies were included in this study from February 1st, 2009 to June 1st, 2009. Forty cases were randomly allocated to experimental group (20 cases) and control group (20 cases). Parenteral nutrition was conducted in continuous 7 days after operation. Comparing with control group, a dose of 10 g of ω-3 PUFA was given to experimental group every day in 7 days after operation in addition. Blood samples were gained before operation, the 2nd and 8th day after operation respectively to measure relative indexes about inflammatory response (WBC, neutrophilic granulocyte and C-reaction protein) and nutrition (total protein, albumin, prealbumin, siderophilin and lymphocyte). Reduction of body mass was also recorded. Results The baseline between experimental group and control group was comparable (Pgt;0.05). The levels of indexes about inflammatory response (WBC, neutrophilic granulocytem and C-reaction protein) and nutrition (total protein, albumin, prealbumin, siderophilin and lymphocyte) between experimental and control group did not reach statistically significant difference in the 2nd day after operation (Pgt;0.05). The levels of neutrophilic granulocyte and C-reaction protein in experimental group were lower than those of control group, and the level of lymphocyte in experimental group was higher than that of control group in the 8th day after operation, and all of them reached statistical significance (Plt;0.05). There was no statistical different in reduction of body mass between experimentalgroupandcontrolgroup.Conclusion ω-3 PUFA can depress the excessively inflammatory reaction and improve the nutritional condition of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies after operation.
ObjectiveTo summarize the progress in mutant gene sequences of different types of hereditary colorectal cancer.MethodThe relevant literatures about genetic mutations in hereditary colorectal cancer at home and abroad were reviewed.ResultsHereditary colorectal cancer coule be divided into two categories according to whether it was related to the germline mutations of known oncogenes. Among the known germline mutant genes, the gene of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), MUTYH, thymidine glycol DNA glycosylase 1 (NTHL1), polymerase (DNA) epsilon, catalytic subunit (POLE), and polymerase (DNA) delta 1, catalytic subunit (POLD1) were closely related to adenomatous polyposis syndromes, mismatch repair (MMR)-related genes were related to Lynch syndrome, serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK-11) gene was related to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, mutant genes of SMAD4 and bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1A (BMPR1A) were found in JPS individuals, and Cowden syndrome was caused by phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) gene mutation. For colorectal cancer patients with unknown germline mutations but significant genetic characteristics (such as hyperplastic polyposis), relevant genes had also been gradually searched out, which needed further evidence.ConclusionsColorectal cancer is a malignant tumor with genetic characteristics. Compared with sporadic colorectal cancer, the time of hereditary colorectal cancer from adenoma to cancer is shorter, and the occurrence of heterogeneous tumor is also increased, but the survival rate after active intervention is higher than the sporadic one. To study the mutant gene sequences of hereditary colorectal cancer is the improvement and development of the diseases control in modern medicine.
Objective To explore the intervention effect on colorectal cancer operation by neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in multi-disciplinary team. Methods To analyze retrospectively the data of patients diagnosed definitely as colorectal cancer in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from July 2007 to December 2007, and the planned and actual operative strategy were compared between MDT group and non-MDT group. Results According to the inclusion criteria, 251 colorectal cancer patients were included which had 183 rectal cancer and 68 colon cancer. The baseline between MDT group and non-MDT group was equal, and there was no difference of planned operative strategy between two groups. For patients planned undergoing standard ano-saving radical procedure, the ratio of actual procedure same to the planned and the ratio of radical procedure changed to expansive ano-saving radical procedure showed no significant differences between MDT group and non-MDT group (Pgt;0.05), whereas the difference of the ratio of radical procedure changed to local radical procedure between two groups was statistically significant (Plt;0.01). And the constituent ratio of actual procedure between two groups for patients which planned accepted non-ano-saving procedure didn’t have any significant difference (Pgt;0.05). For the cancer focus, the relief differences of complete remission and partial remission were statistically significant between two groups (P＜0.01), but the difference of the constituent ratio of T staging change was not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The value of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy should not be limited to decrease the stage of cancer, and it is important to pay more attention to the high quality of combined therapy. Further research should be carried out to find the contribution of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy to mini-invasive surgery.
Objective To analyze the relation between the marital status of patients with colorectal cancer and neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) regimen decision-making and outcomes in the current version of the Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA). Methods The version of DACCA selected for this analysis was updated on June 29, 2022. The patients were enrolled according to the established screening criteria and then assigned to 5 groups: the unmarried, married, divorced, remarried and widowed groups. The differences in the NAT regimen decision-making and changes of symptom, imaging, and cancer markers in these 5 groups were analyzed. Results A total of 3 053 data that met the screened criteria were enrolled. The results of statistical analysis reflected that the difference in the constituent ratio of patients chosen NAT strategies among 5 groups was obviously statistically significant (χ2=27.944, P=0.004), showing that remarried patients were inclined to adopt combined target drug. No statistical differences were found in changes of symptom (H=5.717, P=0.221), image (H=8.551, P=0.073), and cancer markers (H=11.351, P=0.183) of the 5 groups after NAT. Conclusion Through analysis of DACCA data, it is found that in the selection of NAT strategy for colorectal cancer, more married and remarried patients tended to choose chemotherapy combined target drug regimen.
Objective To explore the safety, effectiveness, operation mode and clinical value of the laparoscopic colorectal resection. Methods The clinical data and experiences of laparoscopic resection for 18 cases with colorectal neoplasm from Jun. 2007 to Mar. 2008 were studied retrospectively. Results Among 18 cases, there were 5 cases of rectal cancer, 6 cases of sigmoid colon carcinoma, 2 cases of sigmoid colonic polyp, 2 cases of descending colon carcinoma, 2 cases of ascending colon carcinoma and 1 case of ascending colonic lipoma. Fifteen cases of laparoscopic colorectal resection were performed successfully, including Dixon procedure 4 cases, Miles operation 1 case, radical resection of sigmoid colon 5 cases, palliative resection of sigmoid colon 2 cases, left hemicolectomy 2 cases and right hemicolectomy 1 case. Three cases converted to laparotomy due to adiposity or advanced status of local disease. Average intraoperative blood loss was 110 ml. The average number of lymph nodes dissected was 13.5. It took about 40 hours to restore intestinal function. The average time of hospitalization was 9 days. No one died during operation and no complications such as anastomotic leakage and postoperative hemorrhage occurred. Conclusion Laparoscopic resection for colorectal neoplasms possesses less trauma and rapid postoperative recovery. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is safe and effective with skill and indication.

Methods From January 2003 to December 2004, immunohistochemical staining, streptavidin-perosidase method, was used to detect the Survivin expression in 58 cases of colorectal carcinoma, 12 cases of colorectal adenoma, and 9 cases of normal tissues. Correlation between the expression of Survivin and clinicopathological factors in colorectal cancer was analyzed. Results Survivin was not expressed in normal colorectal tissues. The expression of Survivin in colorectal carcinoma and adenoma was significantly higher than that in norma1 colorectal tissues (Plt;0.05). There was no correlation of Survivin expression with such clinicopathologic factors as age, gender, serosa infiltration, lymph node metastasis, distal metastasis, differentiation level and Dukes stage (Pgt;0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that patients with Survivin-positive tumors had significantly poorer survival rate (51.2%) than those with Survivin-negative tumors (90.9%) (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Abnormal expression of Survivin plays an important role in carcinogenesis and progress of colorectal carcinoma and can be regarded as a good index for the choice of surgery, and assessment of clinical outcomes and prognosis for colorectal cancer patients.
