Objective To investigate the predictive factors of acute pancreatitis for patients with gallstone.Methods One hundred and eighteen patients with gallstones who were admitted to Department of Gastroenterology,People's Hospital of Wuhan University were selected,the gallbladder size,number and size of gallstones,common bile duct stones were determined by imaging study.Then the patients were grouped according to the complication of acute pancreatitis.Results Sixty-one cases of acute pancreatitis occurred out of 118 patients.The gallbladder size of 74 patients was normal,and among them 49(66.2％) developed acute pancreatitis; the gallbladder size of 44 patients was increased or decreased,and among them 12(27.3％)developed AP.Thirty-one patients had a single gallstone,and 11 (35.5％) developed AP; while 87 patients had multiple gallstones,and 50 (57.5％) was complicated with AP.Among patients with AP,11 patients had a single gallstone,and the size of the gallstone in the 8 patients (72.7％) was ≥10 mm; while 50 patients had multiple gallstones,and the size of the gallstone in the 41 patients (82.0％) was ＜ 10 mm.Nineteen patients were complicated with common bile duct stones,and 17 (89.5％) developed AP; while 99 patients were not complicated with common bile duct stones,and 44 (44.4％) developed AP.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (x2 =16.758,P =0.000 ; x2 =4.425,P =0.029 ; x2 =13.434,P =0.001 ; x2 =12.994,P =0.000).Conclusions Acute biliary pancreatitis is associated with gallstones.The size of gallbladder,size and number of gallstone,as well as the presence of common bile duct stones are related to the development of AP.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the coagulation function and fibrinolytic activity with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after traumatic fracture operation.Methods One hundred and thirty-four cases of traumatic fracture from April 2010 to May 2014 were divided into the DVT group(24 cases) and non-DVT group,and at the same time 110 healthy people were selected as the control group.The venous blood at different time points was collected for observing the levels change of prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),fibrinogen (FIB),platelet aggregation rate (PAgT),dipolymer (D-D),thrombin antithrombin complex (TAT),plasminogen activity (PIg) by using appropriate methods.Results There was no difference in APTT and PT groups among the groups(P>0.05).Preoperative FIB,PAgT,D-D and TAT levels was the DVT group >non-DVT group > control group,while the level of PIg was the DVT group0.05).Conclusion The increase of D-D and TAT is closely related with DVT in traumatic fracture and,which is an independent risk factor.

Objective To explore the feasibility of the hydrogel as a cell carrier for parathyroid cells.Methods Cryopreserved parathyroid cells were recovered and cultured until sufficient,then the cells were digested、centrifuged and pipetted to single-cell suspension.The chitosan solution,crosslinking agents and cell suspension were mixed to hydrogels by some ratio.After that,hydrogels covered by complete medium were incubated at 37 ℃ in constant temperature incubator.Meanwhile,the supernatant were collected for measuring the PTH level every other day and the viability and shape of cells in hydrogels was also evaluated by fluorescopy.Results Parathyroid cells were recovered and cultured successfully and the adherent cells were spindle-like.The hydrogel could be prepared at room temperature in less than 1 minutes.The fluorescent confocal microscopy showed that more than 90％ of the cells in the hydrogel kept viable after 24 hours and the proportion had no significant change after 3 days.Furthermore,PTH was detected in the supernatants.Conclusion The facilely prepared inexpensive hydrogel,which can maintain normal morphlology and function of cells,is of potential application to cell transplantation therapy for hypopatathyroidism.

In order to explore the significance of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in coronary heart disease (CHD), the TUNEL and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) techniques were performed. The results showed that the permillage of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in infarct area in patients of sudden death from CHD was significantly higher than that in control group (557.94? 144.10‰ VS 34.30?20.68‰, p

Objective To investigate the changes of actin (HHF35), serum albumin (A1), fibronectin (Fn) in cardiac cells and cardiac conducting sysytem (CCS) in order to probe into postmortem diagnosis of sudden manhood death syndrome (SMDS). Methods Immunohistochemical detections of actin, serum albumin and fibronectin (Fn) in the cardiac cells and CCS were performed by S-P method in cases with SMDS and cases died from coronary heart disease and non-cardiovascular diseases which were used as the control. Results Of the 22 cases with SMDS, 17 were found of actin-negative staining, 18 serum albumin-positive and 15 Fn-positive staining with evident pathological lesions in CCS in 8 cases. Conclusion It is suggested that SMDS is associated with early myocardial ischemia or infarction, which results in abnormality in actin, serum albumin and fibronectin (Fn) in the cardiac cells and CCS.

Obesity is the most important risk factor of primary hypertension. Rapid increase of obesity-related hypertension has become a worldwide problem. But the specific mechanism of the condition remains to be fully understood. This paper reviews the latest literatures and tries to explain the mechanism of obesity-related hypertension from the following four aspects: hypoadiponectinemia, leptin and resistance of leptin, insulin and resistance of insulin and the activation of renin-angiotensin system(RAS).

Objective Due to poor effects of sterilization,low efficiency and inconvenience of field emergency transportation for portable exhaust pressure steam sterilizer,we aimed to design and develop a portable pulse vacuum pressure steam sterilizer in order to effectively improve quality and efficiency of sterilization for sterile medical equipment in disaster and emergency medical treatment.Methods From the beginning of February 2013,we focused on the features of small size,light weight,reliable sterilizing effect and fast speed of sterilization,and conducted series of technology researches,and finally developed portable pulse vacuum pressure steam sterilizer which was suitable for individual carrying or air delivery.Results We performed outdoor sterilization tests for portable vacuum pressure steam sterilizer and portable exhaust pressure steam sterilizer under the same condition.Portable pulse vacuum pressure steam sterilizer achieved a 100％ qualification rate,average sterilization cycle was 28.6min per time,sterilization by weight was 48L/h,average water consumption was 0.4L/boiler,average power consumption was 0.7kw/h per time,and sterilization operation index,maneuverability and transportability were significantly better than those of portable exhaust pressure steam sterilizer.Conclusion The developed 4 portable pulse vacuum pressure steam sterilizer have higher cost performance,and have been successfully applied for medical service training and non-war medical treatment activities in our hospital.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment outcomes of testieulax endodermal sinus tumor. Methods Twenty-four cases diagnosed with testieular endodermal sinus tumors from November 1996 to April 2007 were retruspeetively reviewed. Eighteen patients presented with stage Ⅰ disease, 4 presented with stage Ⅰ , and 2 presented with stage Ⅲ. Inguinal radical or-chieetomy were performed in all patients. Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection was performed in 8 ea-ses. Results The histological structures were rather complicated in 24 tumors. Twenty-three eases (96%) were found with reticular pattern, 22(92%) with hyaline body, 20(83%) with glandlike structure, 16(67%) with Shiller-Dural body, and 13(54%) with solid formation. The former 3 kinds were regarded as the main diagnostic criteria. Twenty-one eases were followed up for 20 months to 12 years. During the follow-up, 2 patients died of the disease. Condesions Early diagnosis and combi-nation therapy, including radical orehieetomy and chemotherapy, are the keys to improve the curative effect of testieular endodermal sinus tumors. Active surveillance of AFP is critical for monitoring the recurrence and metastasis of this tumor.

Objective To collect the information about the types and clinically-used materials for fixed partial dentures, and evaluate the current conditions and characteristics of fixed partial dentures in Shanghai. Methods Three municipal public hospitals and two private commercial dental labs in Shanghai were served as sample units. The data of fixed partial dentures from January 2005 to December 2007 were retrospectively analysed. The number, type and material of dentures of each year were observed, and the proportion of different types and materials of dentures were analysed. Results From 2005 to 2007, the total number of fixed partial dentures gradually increased year by year, and porcelain fused metal crowns accounted for the largest proportion. The application of noble crown in public hospitals increased annually, and the increase rates were 13.85% in 2005 to 2006 and 30.86% in 2006 to 2007, respectively, while the application of casting basic metal full crown decreased annually. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) fixed partial dentures (CAD/CAM crown) and implant dentures occupied a tiny percentage of total fixed partial dentures in public hospitals and privated dental labs, while both had a remarkable increase trend in number between 2005 and 2007 (227.78% and 53.01%, respectively for 2005 to 2006, and 120.34% and 27.41%, respectively for 2006 to 2007). Conclusion Fixed partial dentures are the most common prostheses for tooth defect, and are characterized by the growing application of advanced techniques and high-quality materials.
