Comparison of early-term effects between totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with delta-shaped anastomosis and conventional laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy: a retrospective study.

Objective: To compare early-term effects of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with delta-shaped anastomosis (D-STLDG) with conventional laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG).

Methods: Clinical data of 24 patients who received D-STLDG from April 2013 to April 2014, and 45 patients who received LADG from March 2010 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The operative time, intra-operative blood loss, post-operative recovery time of intestinal function, post-operative pain, the length of post-operative hospital stay and the incidence of post-operative complications (infection, obstruction and delayed gastric emptying) were compared between the two groups.

SIRT3 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma and its impact on proliferation and invasion of hepatoma cells.

Objective: To observe expression of SIRT3 in normal liver tissue, cirrhotic tissue and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues, and to explore the significance of SIRT3 in primary HCC.

Methods: SIRT3 expression was detected in 10 normal cases, 30 cases with, 30 HCC cases by immunohistochemical and Western-blotting method.

Results: Immunohistochemical assay showed that the SIRT3 positive expression rates were 100.
