1.Progress on B7H1/PD-1 pathway in tumors
International Journal of Surgery 2010;37(3):187-190
B7H1 is a recently described B7 family member.Ligation of PD-1 receptors with B7hl on the surface of activated T cell inhibits T cell proliferation and cytokine production. B7H1 plays a negative regulatory role in peripheral tolerance, autoimmune diseases and chronic infections.B7H1 also has been found to be largely expressed on a broad range of cancers and is thought to contribute to immune evasion by cancers. Blockade of B7H1/PD-1 pathway may contribute to the treatment of autoimmune diseases and maligant tumors.
2.Progress of autoimmune pancreatitis in clinical research
International Journal of Surgery 2010;37(3):184-187
Autoimmune pancreatitis is a chronic autoimmune-related pancreatitis.It is characterized by a high globulin, IgG~4 increased, anti-carbonic anhydrase antibody and anti-lactoferrin antibodies exist, diffuse swelling of the pancreas, a significant lymphocyte infiltration accompanied by fibrosis, multiple clinical manifestations , and sensitive to the hormone treatment.

Objective Summarize anterior open tension-free inguinal hemiorrhaphy, especially application experience and understanding in the 952 cases of day surgery, and clarify the advantages. Method During December 2004 - June 2007, we treated 952 Patients of inguinal hernia and femoral hernia,using local anesthesia, tension-free, in the form of day surgery. And the resulte were compare to traditional hemiorrhaphy, tension-free hemiorrhaphy of hospital in all aspects. Results Patients in this group were all cured.Intraoperative and postoperative pain was mild.All patients should be used only a small amount of postoperative oral analgesics, and no urinary retention. They got out of bed immediately after surgery, and they recorered fast ,with less complications. They could be discharged home in surgical day (2 h later). Af ter 18 months follow-up, only 2 cases recurrence. Conclusions (1) Compared with the traditional hemiorrhaphy and ambulatory tension-free hemiorrhaphy, tension-free during the day has lots of advantages, such as easier method, wider surgical indications, faster postoperative recovery, shorter hospital stay, less complications and lower recurrence rate;(2)Tension-free hernion'haphy day surgery is safe,feasible,and has obvi-ous advantages.

Objective Analyse the influencing factors of early enteral nutrition support in patients of severe acute pancreatitis( SAP). Methods From April 2006 to August 2008, a total of 57 patients with SAP were analyzed in two aspects:the APACHE II scores, Ranson scores, Balthazar CT scores, and some frequent complications (shock, MODS, ACS, severe sepsis, paralytic ileus, etc.) were compared in two groups of A(≤5 d) and B( >5 d) according to the initial time of enteral nutrition:Hie initial timing of entend nutrition,the above scores and complications were also compared in two groups of nasojejunal feedingtube and jejunostomy feeding tube. Results The APACHE H scores, Ranson scores, Balthazar CT scores and the incidence of shock, MODS and ACS in group A were significant higher than those in group B; The APACHE II scores, Ranson scores and Balthazar CT scores in group of nasojejunal feeding tube were significant lower than those in group of jejunostomy feeding tube, and the initial time of enteral nutritionin nasojejunal feeding tube was significantly earlier. Conclusions Early enteral nutrition support in SAP is influenced by multiple factors, especially of pathogenetic severity, severe complications and feeding pathways.Homeostasis and intestines functions recover are the sign of enteral nutrition initiation, and to carry out enteral nutrition in ≤5 d after admission is feasible.The APACHE II scores may be helpful to guide the time of EN start.

Since its discovery, the retinoblastoma (RB) tumor-suppressor protein has become a focal point of caner and cell cycle research, and subsequently discovered members(pRB,p107,p103) of the RBfamily have been proved to play a important role in the cell cycle and the development of cancer. RB regulates the cell growth, development and differentiation via the interactions with E2f and some other cytokines,and its alternation even make the tumor formation. In comparison with some other tumors, colorectal cancer(CRC) has the different expression of RB.We may assume that the different causes of CRC and some unique functions of RB in CRC lead to the alternation.
7.Current status of bariatric surgery for type 2 diabetes management
International Journal of Surgery 2010;37(3):203-206
Although weight loss is beneficial for obese patients with diabetes, current medical treatment for obesity is difficult. Bariatric surgery leads to substantial and durable weight reduction.Nearly 30% of patients who undergo bariatric surgery have type 2 diabetes.For many of them, diabetes resolves following bariatric surgery (83% to 93% for bypass procedures and 55% to 84% for restrictive procedures).This review discusses the effects of various bariatric procedures on type 2 diabetes mellitus and their possible mechanisms.

Endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H_2S) is to third found gaseous transmitter.In cardiovascular system, H_2S is produced endogenously by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE)and plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular physiologic function and patho physiological processes.The CSE/H_2S system has a variety of biological effects in the cardiovascular system, such as inducing vasorelaxation,decreases blood pressure,inhibiting vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and inducing anti-oxidant.It is also concerned with variety of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipemia, atherosclerosis,coronary artery disease and so on.We summarize the biochemical characteristics and the physiological functions of endogenous H_2S and its patho physiological effects in cardiovascular diseases.
9.Research progress of Caroli's disease
International Journal of Surgery 2010;37(3):193-196
Caroli's disease is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disease. The low mobidity, insufficient awareness of doctor and complex clinical manifestations of the disease are likely to result in misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.The pathogen, typing, pathology, clinical manifesation and therapy of this disease are discussed to recognise the disease better.
10.Value of proteomics technology in diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2010;37(3):190-193
Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor of digestive tract which early diagnose is very difficult and has low rate of surgical resection of advanced pancreatic cancer. However, the rate of postoperative recurrence and metastas is high. Its prognosis is poor. To improve the prognosis of pancreatic cancer , it is necessary to improve its early diagnosis and effective prediction of postoperative recurrence and metastasis. In recent years, with the development of proteomics, the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and its early diagnosis of recurrence and metastasis was possible. Wsing proteomics technology for protein differences screening, isolation and identification is conductive to early detection of pancreatic proteome changes and establishment of the markers for early diagnosis, and recurrence and metastasis of pancreatic cancer.
