Technical details of and prognosis for the "China stitch", a novel technique for totally laparoscopic hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy.

The current study describes the technical details of and the clinical prognosis for the "China stitch", a novel technique for hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy in totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy. This study also explores the feasibility and safety of the technique. Clinical data of 20 patients with esophagogastric junction cancer in Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2017 to April 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.

Differential expression of APE1 in hepatocellular carcinoma and the effects on proliferation and apoptosis of cancer cells.

This research aimed to investigate the differential expression of apurinic-apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and cells and the effects on proliferation and apoptosis of cancer cells. Immunohistochemical techniques were used to detect the expression of APE1 in 80 cases of HCC and the corresponding paracancerous tissue microarrays; meanwhile, Western blots were used to detect the expression of APE1 in both human HCC BEL-7402, BEL-7405, HCC-9204, Hep3B, HepG2, SMMC-7721 and Huh-7 cells, and normal hepatocyte L-02 cells. The relationship between APE1 expression and clinical pathological characteristics of HCC was statistically analyzed.

Regression analysis of the risk factors for postoperative nosocomial infection in patients with abdominal tumors: experience from a large cancer centre in China.

Nosocomial infection is a common complication after abdominal oncology surgery. Aimed at finding its independent risk factors for prevention, all the patients who underwent abdominal oncology surgery were summarized from March 1(st), 2010 to March 1(st), 2013 from the oncology surgery department, Beijing Shijitan Hospital. The investigated variances were patients' information including admission number, sex, age, diabetes, diagnosis, length of stay, American society of anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, surgery time, number of drainage tubes.
