ObjectiveTo contrastive the clinical results of intraperitoneal sigmoid colostomy and extraperitoneal sigmoid colostomy in abdominal perineal resection. MethodsThe clinical data of 172 patients who underwent abdominal perineal resection from March 2010 to March 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Sixty cases were performed the intraperitoneal sigmoid colostomy (intraperitoneal group), seventy-six cases were performed the extraperitoneal sigmoid colostomy (extraperitoneal group), and thirty-six cases were performed the functional exercise after extraperitoneal sigmoid colostomy (functional exercise group). The operation situation, postoperative complications, and colostomy function of three groups of patients were compared. Results①Operation situation: The colostomy location selection, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative hospital stay of the three groups had no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05). The postoperative first exhaust and defecate time of the intraperitoneal group and the functional exercise group were obviously earlier than the extraperitoneal group, the difference had statistical significance (P < 0.05).②The postoperative complications: The postoperative complications rates of the extraperitoneal group and functional exercise group were lower than the intraperitoneal group, had statistically significant difference (P < 0.05), the functional exercise group was lower than the extraperitoneal group, the difference had statistical significance (P < 0.05).③The colostomy function:The patient' proportion that > 30 s of appeared time of defecation signals in the extraperitoneal group was significantly higher than the intraperitoneal group, and the functional exercise group was higher than that in the extraperitoneal group, the difference were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The patient' proportion that > 2 min of autonomous control of defecation to discharge feces time after the bowel signal appears in the extraperitoneal group was significantly higher than the intraperitoneal group, and the functional exercise group was higher than that in the extraperitoneal group, the difference were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conciusions The intraperitoneal sigmoid colostomy has less colostomy related complications than extraperitoneal sigmoid colostomy in abdominal perineal resection. The control, and defecate ability are better. Postoperative function exercise can further reduce the colostomy complications and improve the function of colostomy.
ObjectiveAdopting poly-L-lactic/glycolic acid (PLGA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the material to fabricate PLGA/PEG electrospun polymer membrane by electrospinning technology. And to study its preventive effect on postoperative intraperitoneal adhesion of rat.MethodsPLGA and PEG were mixed at the ratio of 19∶1(M/M), then dissolved in organic solvent. The PLGA/PEG electrospun polymer membrane was prepared by electrospinning technology, and then the gross observation and scanning electron microscope observation were taken. Fifty-four Sprague Dawley rats (weighing, 180-200 g), were randomly divided into 3 groups. The rats in control group (n=6) were left intact. The rats in model group (n=24) and PLGA/PEG group (n=24) were treated with the method of mechanical injury of the cecal serosa in order to establish the intraperitoneal adhesion models; then the PLGA/PEG electrospun polymer membrane was used to cover the wound in PLGA/PEG group, but was not in the model group. The intraperitoneal adhesion in PLGA/PEG group and model group were observed at 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 8 weeks after operation, and the adhesion degree was assessed according to the self-generated standard. The degradation of PLGA/PEG electrospun polymer membrane was also observed in PLGA/PEG group. At each time point, the rats were harvested for histological observation. All the above indexes were compared with the control group.ResultsUsing the electrospinning technology, PLGA/PEG electrospun polymer membrane was prepared successfully. PLGA/PEG electrospun polymer membrane was white and opaque, with soft texture. Scanning electron microscopy observation showed that PLGA/PEG electrospun polymer membrane was mainly composed of disorderly staggered fibers, with microporous structure. All rats survived to the end of the experiment. Gross observation showed that PLGA/PEG electrospun polymer membrane gradually degraded after implantation in vivo, and the adhesion degree in PLGA/PEG group was significantly lower than that in model group (P<0.05), but it had not yet reached to the level of the control group (P<0.05). Histological observation showed that the proliferation of cecal fibrous connective tissue was slower in PLGA/PEG group than in model group, and adhesion severity significantly decreased, only with a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration. Nevertheless, it was not up to the level of the control group.ConclusionPLGA/PEG electrospun polymer membrane can effectively prevent postoperative intraperitoneal adhesion of rat, and has good biodegradability.
Objective To explore the feasibility, safety, efficacy and mechanism of intraoperative regional chemotherapy of advanced gastric cancer.Methods The related literatures were reviewed and analyzed. Results Compared with systemic chemotherapy, intraoperative regional chemotherapy of advanced gastric cancer could increase blood drug concentration of cancerous tissue, reduce the systemic toxic side effects, increase survival rate and improve the quality of life. Conclusion Intraoperative regional chemotherapy, as an adjuvant treatment of advanced gastric cancer, has been gradually applied to clinic because of the definite curative effect, which is worth popularizing. However, it needs systemic researches and accumulation of cases.
Objective To study the value of intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the treatment of gastrointestinal malignancies. Methods The current literature on intraperitoneal chemotherapy was reviewed. Results Following intraperitoneal injection, the concentration of drugs in the peritoneum and in the portal vein was high, lasting and sustained. Early postoperative chemotherapy showed better results. Port-A-Cath provides a safe and suitable drug delivery system. Complications were mild. Conclusion Intraperitoneal chemotherapy presents significant pharmacokinetic and clinical potentials in the treatment of gastrointestinal malignancies, as well as in the prevention and treatment of postoperative metastasis.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the effectiveness and safety of intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy (IHPC) for ovarian cancer, so as to provide references for clinical practice and studies. MethodsWe electronically searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 6, 2013), Web of Science, WanFang Data, CBM, VIP and CNKI for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about IHPC vs. intravenous chemotherapy (IC) for ovarian cancer from the inception of the databases to June 2013. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. ResultsA total of 10 RCTs involving 723 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the IHPC group was superior to the IC group in clinical efficiency (OR=4.02, 95%CI 2.85 to 5.68, P < 0.000 01), clinical benefit response (OR=3.41, 95%CI 2.13 to 5.45, P < 0.000 01), recurrence and metastasis rates (OR=0.29, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.42, P < 0.000 1), and overall survival rates (OR=3.30, 95%CI 1.82 to 5.99, P < 0.000 1). In the aspect of safety, no significant difference was found in bone marrow suppression, hemoglobin reduction, nausea and vomiting between two groups. ConclusionIHPC for ovarian cancer can improve clinical efficiency, clinical benefit response and overall survival rates, and reduce recurrence and metastasis rates; and it is also safe for patients.
ObjectiveTo investigate the survival of liver cancer cells in hypotonic solution, and provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of warm distilled water to kill free intraperitoneal liver cancer cells. MethodsThe hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Hep3B were cultured by using different osmotic HEPES buffered solution (148 mOsmol/kg, 90 mOsmol/kg, and 0 mOsmol/kg) in vitro, and then the activity and status of the cells were observed by using the MTT assay and flow cytometry. ResultsOne hundred and forty-eight mOsmol/kg and 90 mOsmol/kg osmotic pressure solution had no obvious killing effect for hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Hep3B, the cells still had strong activity after 30 min. The 0 mOsmol/kg osmotic pressure distilled water had particular killing effect for hepatocellular carcinoma cells, with the prolongation of time and the killing effect was enhanced. It needs 10 min to destruct free cancer cells. ConclusionApplication of warm distilled water lavage in liver cancer surgery requires the continuing role of 10 min to kill the intraperitoneal free cancer cells, thereby preventing the occurrence of postoperative peritoneal metastasis.
ObjectiveTo compare two different ways to establish mouse model with acute lung injury (ALI) via intratracheal instillation or intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). MethodsBALB/c mice received intraperitoneal/intratracheal administration of LPS or sham operation. Wet/dry lung weight ratio, protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and lung tissue histology were examined at 0, 1, 2, 6, 12, 18, 24, 48 h after LPS administration. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in BALF and serum was assayed with ELISA method. ResultsLPS treatment significantly increased wet/dry lung weight ratio, BALF protein concentration and TNF-α concentration in serum and BALF. Lung tissue was damaged after LPS challenge. The mice received LPS intraperitoneal injection got a more significant lung edema than those received LPS intratracheal instillation. Inversely, LPS intratracheal instillation induced more severed microstructure destruction. ConclusionsALI animal model by LPS intratracheal instillation or intraperitoneal injection induces inflammation and tissue damage in lung. However, the degree of tissue damage or self-healing induced by two methods is different. Therefore the decision of which way to establish ALI model will depend on the study purpose.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of postoperative intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy (IHPC) for advanced gastric cancer, so as to provide references for clinical practice and study. Methods The following databases including The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang were searched on computer, and other searches were also performed to collect all relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on postoperative IHPC versus intravenous chemotherapy alone (IC) for advanced gastric cancer. The quality of the included studies was assessed according to Cochrane Handbook 5.1 for Systematic Review, and Meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 18 RCTs involving 2299 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that: a) Efficacy evaluation: There were significant differences between the IHPC group and the IC group in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate, 3- and 5-year recurrence rate, and 3- and 5-year distant metastasis rate; the OR value and 95%CI were 1.88 (1.49, 2.39), 2.45 (1.64, 3.67), 2.29 (1.92, 2.73), 2.17 (1.70, 2.76), 0.39 (0.29, 0.52), 0.54 (0.40, 0.72), 0.55 (0.38, 0.78), 0.58 (0.42, 0.81), respectively; b) Safety evaluation: There were significant differences between the IHPC group and the IC group in the incidence of abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting; the OR value and 95%CI were 2.20 (1.58, 3.07), 7.00 (2.67, 18.36), 0.65 (0.45, 0.95), respectively. But there were no significant differences between the IHPC group and the IC group in the incidence of alopecia, ileus, bone marrow inhibition, and hepatic lesion. Conclusion Compared with IC, postoperative IHPC+IC can improve survival rate and reduce the recurrence and distant metastasis rate; additionally, it is safe and feasible, so it is recommended that the detailed condition of patients should be taken into consideration when the postoperative IHPC+IC therapy is applied to clinic.
To evaluate the effect of intraperitoneal hyperthermo-chemotherapy (IPHC) on immunologic function of patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumor (GMT). The authors determined the serum T-lymphocyte subsets (T-LS) and interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) of 32 patients with GMT after IPHC, and compared the two indexes with 20 healthy control group. Results: Before IPHC the serum CD＋3, CD＋4, CD＋8 and CD＋4/CD＋8 were higher and sIL-2R were lower than control group, after IPHC, CD＋3, CD＋4, CD＋8 and CD＋4/CD＋8 increased obviously (Ｐ＜0.01) and the serum sIL-2R decreased significantly (Ｐ＜0.01). Conclusion: The IPHC can improve the patients immunologic function.
Objective To summarize the therapeutic experiences of abdominal wall bulge repair with compound patch intraperitoneal placement. Methods From October 2005 to October 2008, intraperitoneal onlay mesh with compound patch applied in 7 patients with abdominal wall bulge, whose clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. Results All the procedures were performed successfully, including 5 open operation and 2 laparoscopic repair. The mean operation time was 85 min (ranged 68 to 130 min). After operation, 1 seroma formation and 1 hemorrhage in the thoracic cavity developed and were cured with the conservative therapy. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 9.5 d (ranged 8 to 16 d). There was no recurrence, infection, or prolonged pain during 1－4 years follow-up. Conclusion Abdominal wall bulge is caused by the weakness of abdominal wall muscle, and the intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair with compound patch is an appropriate therapy.
