Objective To study the medicine dynamics, distribution in tissue and abdominal cavity fluid concentration of 5-FU after giving intraperitoneal by using a gelatin carrier to be made 5-FU slowing-release microballoons. Methods 5-FU slowing-release microballoons medicine release speed, tissue distributing and the concentration in abdominal cavity fluid were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. Results 5-FU wrapped by gelatin were slowly released. The concentration in abdominal cavity fluid was obviously higher than that in tissue or in blood. Using established standard curve line, it was proved that in body area under curve (AUC) of 5-FU slowing-release microballoons group was obviously higher than that of simple 5-FU injection group, analyzed by 3p97 pharmacokinetic software management. Conclusion 5-FU enwrapped by gelatin can retain an effective anticancer activity concentration in abdominal cavity 7 days after giving intraperitoneal and it is distributed mostly in abdominal cavity.
Objective To investigate and summarize preliminarily the clinical experiences of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair with intraperitoneal patch placement for the patients over 70 years old. Methods From July 2005 to July 2008, laparoscopic incisional hernia repair with intraperitoneal onlay meshes were applied in 8 patients, and whose clinical data were studied retrospectively. Results The procedures were performed successfully in all patients except one converted to open because of severe adhesion. The mean operative time was 105 min (ranged from 50 min to 180 min). One postoperative hypercapnia was resolved through mechanic ventilation for 24 h. One seroma and 1 prolonged postoperative pain over 1 month occurred, which were cured with conservative therapy. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 9.5 d (ranged from 7 d to 14 d). There was no recurrence or local discomfort during 12-36 months (average 26.5 months) follow-up.Conclusions Laparoscopic incisional hernia repair with intraperitoneal onlay mesh for the patients over 70 years old is safe and feasible, which has some advantages such as less trauma and rapid recovery. The perioperative management and operative technique are very important for the success of operation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 compare three approaches of lipopolysaccharides ( LPS) administration for inducing acute lung injury ( ALI) in mice. Methods LPS ( 5 mg/kg) was intratracheally aerosol administered ( ITA group) , intratracheally instilled ( ITI group) , or intraperitoneally injected ( IPI group) to induce ALI in BLAB/ c mice. Evans Blue instead of LPS was intratracheally administered to observe the liquid distribution in the lungs. Two hours after LPS administration, the mice were sacrificed and the lungs were removed to determine wet-to-dry lung weight ratio ( W/D) , and the histological changes were evaluated by HE staining. Phosphorylation level of IκB-αand NF-κB p65 in lung tissue were investigated by Western blot. Transcription intensity of TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA in lung tissue were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Results Evans Blue distributed more uniformly in the ITA group than the ITI group. The lung W/D ratio and histological changes score in three LPS administration groups were all significantly higher than the normal control group ( P lt;0. 01) , with the ITA group being the highest. The phosphorylation levels of IκB-αand NF-κB p65 were significantly higher in the ITA group than the ITI group ( P lt;0. 05) , and were significantly higher in the ITI group than the IPI group ( P lt; 0. 05) . Transcription intensity of TNF-αand IL-1βmRNA was significantly higher in the ITA group than the ITI group ( P lt;0. 05) , and were significantly higher in the ITI group than the IPI group ( P lt;0. 05) . Conclusion Being non-invasive and convenient,intratracheal LPS aerosol inhalation is an optimal method to induce ALI in mice because it induces more extensive and uniformly distributed injuries in lung.
Objective To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of hyperthermia (HT) plus intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy (IHPC) versus IHPC alone for malignant ascites. Methods Such databases as PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, VIP, WanFang, CNKI and CBM were electronically and comprehensively searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on HT plus IHPC vs. IHPC alone for malignant ascites from inception to March 2013. Two reviewers independently screened studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed quality of the included studies. References of the included studies were also retrieved. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 16 RCTs involving 984 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with the IHPC alone group, the HT plus IHPC group had a higher effective rate of controlling ascites (OR=3.40, 95%CI 2.58 to 4.48, Plt;0.000 01), better improvement in quality of life (OR=2.77, 95%CI 1.90 to 4.05, Plt;0.000 01), with significant differences. The two groups were alike in 1-year survival with no significant difference (OR=1.80, 95%CI 0.61 to 5.31, P=0.28). As for safety, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidences of nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension and pain, myelosuppression, diarrhea, and constipation. Conclusion The results of this systematic review show that, compared with IHPC alone, HT plus IHPC improves the effective rate as well as the quality of life of patients with malignant ascites, and it does not increase the incidences of adverse reactions. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality RCTs with larger sample size are needed to verify the above conclusion.
To study the effect of intraperitoneal hyperthermic double distiled water and cis-diamminedichloro-platinum(DDP) perfusion to the peritoneal cancerous ascites,intraperitoneal injection of H22 cancer cells (2×107 tumor cell,each mouse) were performed in LACA mice. Five days after cancer cells injection, intraperitoneal perfusion of simple hypertherrnic (43℃) double distiled water(group Ⅰ) isotonic fluid (group Ⅱ ). DDP (group Ⅲ ), and hypertherrnic double distiles water perfusion combined with DDP (guoup Ⅳ ) were performed .The results showed that cancer cells in the peritoneal cavity of LACA mice were seriously damaged, the production of ascites was markedly inhibited and the survival days of LACA mice were prolonged in all groups . .The intraperitoneal hyperthermic double distilled water perfusion with DDP group showed more effective result as compared with the other groups,Only 1 peritoneal implanted dissemination was found after treatment in this group,Basing on the experimental from September 1991 through September 1993,intraperitoneal hyperthermic double distiled water perfusion with DDP was used to treat 32 advanced gastric cancer patients after radical gastrectomy with satisfactory results.
