With the development of CT technique and clinical application of mutiple-detector helical CT,it is possible to reconstruct the structure of organs under the help of 3-dimention CT technique.The blood supply of normal liver and that of hepatic cancer come from hepatic artery and portal vein,with 25% and 75% respectively for the former and just neverse for the latter and sometimes having correlation with presure inside ,the biliary system.Therefore,a full knowledge of intrahepatic vasculo-ductal system is not only crucial for hepatic cancer diagnosis but also for treatment interventionally.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16:280-283)

Objective To discuss the harm and the rectification procedures for patients who have received nonstandard cholangioenterostomy and improper endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage.Method The clinical data of 55 patients who had received nonstandard cholangioenterostomy and improper endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage seen at the Ningbo LiHuiLi Hospital between 2004.6 to2011.12 were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 23 patients who had stones located intrahepatically which had not been dealt with in the previous operation; 16 patients received choledochoduodenostomy; 5 patients received side-to-side or side-to-end cholangiojejunostomy (with no division of the common bile duct) ; 2 patients developed anastomotic stricture after nonstandard cholangioenterostomy; 3 patients had a short efferent loop of jejunum; and 6 patients had improper endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage.Through reoperative rectification,all patients had satisfactory therapeutic outcomes.Conclusions For hepatolithiasis patients,nonstandard cholangioenterostomy and improper endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage not only cause harm to the patients,but also force patients to have a reoperation.Thus,following strict operative indications,choosing the right operation and improving on the operative skills are the keys to prevent a reoperation.

Objective The retrograde isolated hepatic perfusion (RIHP) model was used to compare with the isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) model in reducing the rate of normal hepatic tissue toxicity and peripheral drug leakage during chemotherapy in rat liver. Methods A total of 90 male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 300-350 g were randomized into 3 groups with 30 rats in each. Group A: perfusion with Lactated Ringer'S Solution through arteria hepatica (RA) and portal vein (PV),the inferior vena cava was used as an outflow tract of perfusate. Group B: For isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP), Fluorouracil (5-FU) was added into the perfusate at a dose of 350mg/kg and introduced in to the liver through arteria hepatica, portal vein was perfused by Lactated Ringer'S Solution, and the inferior vena cava was used as an outflow tract of perfusate. Group C: by using retrograde isolated hepatic perfusion (RIHP), the solution which contains 350 mg/kg Fluorouracil (5-FU) was also introduced through arteria hepatica, the inferior vena cava was introduced with Lactated Ringer'S Solution;the portal vein was used as an outflow tract of the perfusate. On day 1, 3, 5 and 7 after the perfusion in all groups, blood serum ALT test and liver histopathology test were performed. The peripheral blood drug levels were measured with high performance liquid chromatographic(HPLC) system in group B and group C. Results The survival rate was 90%, 86.7% and 90% in group A, B and C,respectively. No statistically significant difference was observed in the survival rate among the 3groups. In all the three groups, serum ALT levels were the highest on the first day after IHP: (481.6±207.6)μmol/LingroupA;(1641. 6±658.0) μmol/LingroupBand( 913. 0±353. 5)μmol/Lin group C. Significant higher serum ALT levels were observed by comparing group B and C with A(P＜0. 05). Meanwhile, the serum ALT levels were significantly higher in group B than in group C (P＜0.05). The peaks of peripheral blood drug concentration during the perfusion were 131.2±29.4μg/ml in group B and 65.3±28. 4μg/ml in group C. Significant difference was observed (P＜0. 05). Liver biopsies of group A showed mild changes on the first day after IHP and returned to normal after 7 days. Group B showed severe changes on the first day after IHP and local necrosis still existed after 7 days. Group C showed moderate changes as compared with group B on the first day after IHP and also returned to normal after 7 days. Conclusion Retrograde isolated hepatic perfusion (RIHP) can reduce the liver toxicity compared to isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP). Hopefully, RIHP will be considered as a safer way in regional chemotherapy in liver cancer.

ABSTRACT:The guinea pigs were immunized by the Brucella vaccine through intradermal injections and the skin scratch respectively ,and then the immune effects of the two ways were evaluated .Serum samples were collected one month after the last injection and detected for the total IgG titer by interval ELISA .Cell‐mediated immune was evaluated by late‐onset hyper‐sensitivity .The guinea pigs were challenged with Brucella melitensis M5 ,and then were killed to isolated M5 from spleen of each guinea pig to compare the protective effects of two methods of immunization .The ELISA results showed that both of the two methods of immunization could induce strong humoral immune response ,and DTH response to Br‐PPD antigen were 100%in both methods .No significant difference in the immune protective effect of two methods was detected .Results of humoral im‐munity ,cellular immunity and protective effect showed the same effect by intradermal injections and skin scratches .

Objective Intrahepatic biliary papillomatosis(IBP)is a rare disease that is characterized by multiple numerous papillary adenomas in the intrahepatic biliary duct(IBD).The clinical features and outcome,however,are not well known.The clinicopathologic features,treatments and follow-up results were retrospectively analyzed in order to improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment for the disease.Methods Between August 2006 and October 2008,9 patients were diagnosed with IBP by histological findings at a tertiary referral center,Ningbo Medical Center(University of Ningbo,College of Medicine,Ningbo,China).The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records to obtain clinical,radiological and pathologic data.The therapeutic results and follow-up data were also reviewed.Results The ratio of male to female was 2:7 and the middle age was 59 years.Repeated episodes of fever and right upper quadrant abdominal pain with or without jaundice were the common clinical manifestations.There were intrahepatic choledocholithiasis and/or history of previous biliary operation in 8 cases.The level of CA19-9 and CEA were almost normal.Imaging workup demonstrated cyst-like dilatation of intrahepatic biliary tree with or without liver atrophy,which were more obvious in the mucin-hypersecreting IBP.All of the 9 cases underwent curative resection with an adequate resection margin.Macroscopic findings demonstrated that the tumors of 9 cases were all located in the left lobe with mucin-hypersecreting type in 7 cases.The diameter of numerous papillary granular was usually less than 10 mm(from 2 to 5 mm.frequently)and friable,that filled the dilated IHD dispersive.Fine fibrovascular cores lined by dysplastic epithelial cells were frequently found under microscope.Few foci of stromalinvasion were noticed in the two cases with malignant transformation.All of the 9 cases survived and there was no recurrence.Conclusion IBP occurs more often in middle and old women who have history of biliary disease. Repeated episodes of cholangitis are the common clinical manifestations. Extra- and intrahepatic biliary tract dilatation is the common imaging finding.MRCP/ERCP is more valuable than others in diagnosis. Clinical and histological finding shows that IBP is a premalignant disease with high malignant potential. Curative resection should be done as earlyas possible for the long-term survival rate. The use of cholangioscopy in operation and rapid biopsy of resection margin will benefit the curative resection.

Objective To explore the application value of percutaneous dilational tracheostomy in the neurological intensive patients. Methods The clinical data of 298 neurological intensive patients treated with percutaneous dilational tracheotomy were analyzed retrospectively from June 2010 to July 2016. Results Percutaneous dilational tracheostomy was successfully performed in all of the 298 cases. The mean operation duration was (6.8 ± 2.2) minutes with a rang of 2 to 15 min. There were 1 case with tracheal tube placement difficulties, 1 case in whom the trachea spatium was strayed into, 1 case with arrhythmia, 10 cases with mild bleeding and 5 cases with moderate bleeding. No severe bleeding, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, tracheoesophageal fistula and other complications caused by the operation were found. And no death case was found. Conclusions Percutaneous dilational tracheostomy is a rapid and minimally invasive technique, which is a better choice for patients with severe neurological diseases.

Objective To explore the effect of infrared spectral analysis in analyzing of the chemical composition of renal staghorn calculi and its relationship with urinary tract infections. Methods From June 2014 to June 2016, the clinical data of 186 patients with renal staghorn calculi were collected. The stone composition were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy and traditional chemical titration, and the stones infection were detected by microbial analysis system. The relation between stones infection, urinary tract infection and stone composition were analyzed.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze and compare the hidden blood loss of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis(MIPPO) combined with locking plate fixation and intramedullary nail fixation in the treatment of tibial shaft fracture. METHODS: One hundred and ninety-one cases of tibial shaft fracture treated from January 2017 to January 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were all treated with closed reduction and divided into two groups:group A (110 cases) and group B (81 cases). In group A, 78 males and 32 females were treated with MIPPO combined with locking plate. The age ranged from 19 to 74 (45.32±11.79) years old. According to AO classification, 42cases were type 42-A, 45 were type 42-B and 23 were type 42-C fractures. Group B was treated with intramedullary nail, including 65 males and 16 females, aged 19 to 84 (45.44± 14.32) years old. According to AO classification, there were 39 cases of type 42-A, 29 cases of type 42-B and 13 cases of type 42-C. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and hidden blood loss were observed and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: On the first day, the hidden blood loss was (155.27±47.89) ml in group A and (160.43±131.42) ml in group B, the difference was statistically significant (<0.001);on the third day, the hidden blood loss was (102.70±94.79) ml in group A and (338.23±85.24) ml in group B, the difference was statistically significant (<0.001). There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender, age, height, weight, fracture type and preoperative Hct (>0.05). CONCLUSION In the treatment of tibial shaft fracture with intramedullary nail, there is obvious hidden blood loss, which is much higher than expected.

Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) can catalyze the decarboxylation of glutamate into γ-aminobutyrate (GABA) and is the only enzyme of GABA biosynthesis. Improving GAD activity and thermostability will be helpful for the highly efficient biosynthesis of GABA. According to the Ramachandran plot information of GAD 1407 three-dimensional structure from Lactobacillus brevis CGMCC No. 1306, we identified the unstable site K413 as the mutation target, constructed the mutant GAD by site-directed mutagenesis and measured the thermostability and activity of the wide type and mutant GAD. Mutant K413A led to a remarkably slower inactivation rate, and its half-life at 50 °C reached 105 min which was 2.1-fold higher than the wild type GAD1407. Moreover, mutant K413I exhibited 1.6-fold higher activity in comparison with the wide type GAD1407, although it had little improvement in thermostability of GAD. Ramachandran plot can be considered as a potential approach to increase GAD thermostability and activity.
