Objective To explore the effects of the application of targeted surveillance in the Deparment of Neurosurgery. Methods Someone was specially assignedd to work out both process and outcome goals by means of perspective investigation, clinical groups were formed and information feedback, evaluation of effects and correction of deviation were regularly conducted. Results The process goals were obtained: from July 1996 to June 1997, the rate of hospital infection in the Department of Neurosurgery droppoed from 26.07% to 21.32% (x2 = 4.3465,P ＜0.05). The outcome goals were also obtained: from July 1997 to June 1998, the rate of infection dropped from 21. 32% to 13.40% (x2 = 16.1193,P＜0.01). Conclusion Targeted surveillance is a really effective form of surveillance and information feedback and evaluation of effects are indispensable. Application of targeted surveillance in the Department of Neurosurgery has won initial success.

Objective To investigate the effect of parecoxib pretreatment on the expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) during focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods One hundred and twenty-eight adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 6-8 weeks,weighing 230-280 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =32 each):sham operation group (S group),I/R group,parecoxib 5 mg/kg group (group P5) and parecoxib 10 mg/kg group (group P10).The rats were anesthetized with 10％ chloral hydrate 3.5 ml/kg.Focal cerebral I/R was induced by 2 h middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by reperfusion.Parecoxib 5 and 10 mg/kg were injected via the right internal jugular vein at 30 min before middle cerebral artery occlusion in groups P5 and P10,respectively.The equal volume of normal saline was injected instead of parecoxib in groups S and I/R.Neurological deficit score (NDS) was assessed at 2 and 24 h of reperfusion.The rats were then sacrificed and brains were removed for determination of infract volume (by TTC staining).Brain water content was measured by wet/dry brain weight ratio.Their brains were cut into sections which were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and examined under microscope.The expression of AQP4 in brain tissues was measured.Results Compared with S group,NDS and brain water content were significandy increased,the infarct volume was enlarged,and the expression of AQP4 in brain tissues was up-regulated in I/R group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).NDS and brain water content were significantly lower,the infarct volume was smaller,and the expression of AQP4 in brain tissues was lower in groups P5 and P10 than in I/R group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Microscopic examination showed that brain injury was significantly attenuated in groups P5 and P10 as compared with I/R group.Conclusion The mechanism by which parecoxib pretreatment alleviates the focal cerebral I/R injury in rats is related to down-regulation of the expression of AQP4.

Objective To study the effects of different sources of dendritic cells (DCs) on root resorption and healing after allo-geneic tooth transplantation in rats .Methods The BN rats and Lewis rats were respectively used as the donor and recipient teeth for establishing the animal experimental transplantation models and randomly divided into 4 groups ,20 cases in each group :the syn-geneic transplantation group(A) and the allogeneic transplantation groups(B ,C ,D) .The group A and B were infused with PBS buffer solution 0 .5 mL on 7 d before operation .The group C and D were infused with 1 × 106 donor or recipient tolerogenic DCs on 7 d before operation .5 rats randomly selected from each group were sacrificed for performing the pathological examinations of transplanted teeth at the end of 1 ,2 ,4 and 8 weeks .Results The inflammatory cellular infiltration was most severe in the group B , slightest in the group A and moderate in the group C and D .The root resorption was minimal in the group A ,maximal in the group B and moderate in the group C and D (P<0 .05);the root resorption at 2 ,4 weeks had no statistical difference between the group C and D(P>0 .05) ,but which at 8 weeks in the group D was lower than that in the group C .The periodontal membrane healing points at 8 weeks in the group C and D was less than that in the group A ,but more than that in the group B (P<0 .05);the inflam-matory absorption was highest in the group B(P<0 .05);the alternative absorption was lowest in the group A (P<0 .05) .Conclu-sion The two different sources of tolerogenic DCs all could reduce the rejection reaction of allogeneic tooth transplantation ,reduce the root resorption and promote the healing of periodontal membrane .Recipient tolerogenic DCs could reduce the root resorption in late stage even more .

Under low temperature conditions, the hapten carboxyl-norketamine was synthesized by reacting norketamine and succinaldehyde acid.Identification result using electrospray ionization mass showed the hap ten was successfully synthesized.The artificial antigen confirmed by infrared spectroscopy was developed by conjugating hapten to carrier proteins with carbodiimide(EDC) method.Matrix-assisted laser desorption ioni zation time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS) showed that the ratio of hapten to BSA was 11:1.The antibody with high titer(5.12 × 10~4) was produced after immuning to rabbits.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of postoperative radiotherapy on local recurrence-free survival(LRFS)and overall survival(OS)in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).Methods The clinical data of 186 cases for TNBC were collected from the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2003 to December 2006.These cases were confirmed by pathology.The patients were divided into radiotherapy and non-radiotherapy groups.The survival curves were plotted by Kaplan-Meier method.Log-rank test method was used to detect the difference between the radiotherapy and non-ra-diotherapy groups for 10 years.Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the prognostic factors for TNBC patients.Results The 10-year LRFS of radiotherapy group and non-radiotherapy group were 80.2%and 76.0%,respectively.The 10-year OS was 86.0%and 74.0%in radiotherapy group and non-ra-diotherapy group,respectively.Both of them showed a statistically difference(P <0.05).Subgroup analysis showed that LRFS and OS were 81.8%and 81.8%in 10 years for radiotherapy in patients with T 1-2N1(1-3 lymph node metastases)M0,respectively,76.4% and 79.4% for non-radiotherapy group,respectively.No differences were observed in both of LRFS and OS in radiotherapy and non-radiotherapy groups(P>0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that radiotherapy and clinical staging were independent factors influencing the sur-vival of TNBC patients.Conclusion Radiotherapy can improve the LRFS and OS in TNBC patients,but radio-therapy does not improve LRFS and OS for TNBC patients with T 1-2N1(1~3 lymph node metastases)M0.Radio-therapy and clinical staging are independent factors that affect the prognosis of TNBC patients.

Objective To evaluate video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT) for Parks type Ⅱ anal fistula.Methods 40 Parks type Ⅱ anal fistula patients underwent VAAFT procedure from June 2015 to June 2017.Results were compared with 40 cases treated by incision and thread drawing.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups for curative effect,postoperative urinary retention,wound edema,bleeding and recurrence rate after 6 months of operation (90％ vs.95％,x2 =0.722,P =0.697;5％ vs.8％,x2 =0.213,P=1.0;2％ vs.8％,x2 =1.053,P=0.615;0 vs.5％,x2 =2.051,P =0.494;10％ vs.5％,x2 =0.721,P =0.675).Pain on first day and one week after operation in the VAAFT was less [(1.9±0.6) vs.(3.7±1.0),t =9.438,P=0.001;(0.9±0.7) vs.(1.9±0.8),t=6.269,P=0.001],hospital stay was shorter [8.4 ±1.3) d vs.(9.2 ±2.2) d,t =2.030,P=0.047],wound healing was faster [(27 ±8) dm.(38 ±6) d,t =7.328,P =0.001].The Jorge-Wexner incontinence score [(0.5±0.7) vs.(1.2±1.3),t =2.951,P=0.005] and the fecal incontinence severity index [(1.1±1.6) vs.(5.1 ±3.2),t =7.097,P=0.001] were lower in patients receiving VAAFT procedure.Conclusion Video-assisted anal fistula treatment is a safe and effective surgical method with the advantages of less trauma,and pain,quicker recovery and no damage to the anal sphincter.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) +anal sphincter plasty for complete rectal prolapse.Methods:From Jan 1, 2018 to Dec 31, 2022, 45 patients with complete rectal prolapse diagnosed in Beijing Erlong Road Hospital received laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy +anal sphincter plasty were included in this study.Result:There was no mortality rate associated with LVMR in this study cohort. The follow-up period was 8-76 months, with a median follow-up period of 59 months. There were 2 cases of recurrence, with a recurrence rate of 4%. Patients with concomitant fecal incontinence symptoms had a preoperative Jorge Wexner fecal incontinence score of 13.8±2.0, and postoperative Jorge Wexner fecal incontinence scores of 7.5±1.5, 5.3±1.3, 4.3±1.1, 2.8±1.0, and 1.8±0.5 at 3, 6, 12, 36, and 60 months, respectively, all P<0.001. Patients with concomitant constipation had a preoperative Wexner constipation score of 15.7 ± 1.5, and a postoperative Wexner constipation score of 9.0±1.8, 6.8±1.5, 5.2±1.4, 4.1±0.7, 2.0±0.0 at 3, 6, 12, 36, and 60 months, respectively, all P<0.001. Conclusions:LVMR +anal Sphincter plasty is safe and effective for the treatment of complete rectal prolapse, and there are few complications related to biological patches. Anal sphincter plasty can effectively improve anal function.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the HLA-A, -B allele polymorphism in the Luoba ethnic population.

METHODSHLA-A, -B DNA types in 92 healthy individuals of Luoba nationality in the Linzhi area, Tibet Autonomous Region, were investigated by polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific oligo-nucleotide (PCR-SSO).

RESULTSTen alleles at HLA-A locus, and 19 alleles at HLA-B locus in Luoba ethnic group were detected. Of the 10 HLA-A alleles detected, the three most common alleles were HLA-A*11(allele frequency: 36.40%), -A*02 (25.50%), -A*24 (23.90%), and they covered 85.80% of the total HLA-A alleles detected from the Luoba ethnic group. Of the 19 HLA-B alleles detected, the three most common alleles were HLA-B*40 (27.20%), -B*15 (11.40%) and -B*38(10.90%), and they covered 49.50% of the total -B alleles detected in the Luoba ethnic group.

CONCLUSIONThe distribution of HLA-A, -B allele polymorphism in the Luoba nationality is distinctive, but some of the gene distribution in the Luoba group is nearer to that in the Tibetan group. These are consistent with the results of ethnological, historical and sociological researches.

Objective:To analyze the effect of perioperative SEPT9 level in peripheral blood on long-term prognosis of patients with colorectal tumors. Methods:Retrospectively analyzed the data of 334 patients with colorectal cancer admitted to the Department of Anus & Intestine Surgery from January 2017 to December 2022, including 197 male patients and 137 female patients, aged 29 to 83 (62.8±10.7) years. Positive group was consisted of 241 patients with positive SEPT9 before surgery, while negative group was consisted of 93 patients with negative SEPT9 before surgery. Among the positive group, 169 cases turned negative for SEPT9 on the one week after surgery (transnegative group), and another 72 cases did not turn negative (non negative group). Univariate and multivariate analysis of clinical general data were carried out to screen out the risk factors affecting the long-term prognosis of colorectal cancer patients after surgery. The survival curve was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method, and the Log-rank test was used to compare the difference in survival rate between groups. Results:All patients′ overall median survival time was 67 months, and the 1, 3 and 5 years overall survival rate was 91.9%, 70.9% and 57.1%. The results of multi-factor analysis showed that whether the tumor had lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, and preoperative SEPT9 methylation status were independent risk factors affecting the long-term prognosis of colorectal cancer ( P=0.004, <0.001, 0.041), while for patients with preoperative SEPT9 positive, TNM stage of tumor and whether SEPT9 turned negative after surgery were independent risk factors for prognosis ( P=0.026, 0.001). The median survival time of patients in positive group and negative group was 63 months and 71 months, respectively. The 1, 3 and 5 year survival rates after surgery were 90.4%, 67.0%, 55.0% and 95.7%, 79.1% and 64.6%, respectively( P=0.007). The median survival time of the patients in the transnegative group and nonnegative group was 45 months and 62 months, respectively. The 1, 3 and 5-year survival rates were 83.2%, 60.5%, 48.1% and 93.5%, 72.9%, 63.5%( P<0.001). Conclusions:Perioperative SEPT9 level is correlated with long-term prognosis of CRC patients, and patients with negative SEPT9 before surgery have better prognosis than those with positive SEPT9. Preoperative positive patients who do not turn negative after surgery often indicate poor prognosis of tumor.
