Objective To evaluate the significace of endoscopic diagnosis of gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease ( GI GVHD) resulted from allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Methods Five patients with suspected GI GVHD received endoscopic examination and biopsies were taken from antrum, sig-moid colon or the focal lesions. Results The symptoms of GI GVHD included anorexia, nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, GI bleeding etc. The endoscopic appearance in stomach varied from subtle mucosal edema, hyperemia, and erythema necrotic erosion. Besides the above stated, the endoscopic appearance in colon also presented with diffuse mucosal erosion, hemorrhege and ulcer. Histological findings included characteristically crypt epithelial cell apoptosis and sloughing, and lymphocyte infiltration in epithelium and lamina propria. The involvement may be varied from diffuse to focal in stomach or colon. Conclusion Endoscopic and histological evaluation of the stomach and colon and biopsy specimen can be used as the evidences in diagnosing GI GVHD.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of melatonin (MT) on human pancreatic cancer in Balb/c nude mice subcutaneous xenograft model. Methods Pancreatic cancer model was established high dose MT(20 mg· kg -1 · d-1 ) , gemcitabine( GEM,50 mg· kg -1 · d-1 ) and high dose MT combination with GEM. Tumor size was measured regularly. The tumor growth curve was drawn. The activity of mice spleen natural killer cell was determined by MTT. Results Compared with the controls [ ( 1. 476 ± 0.075) cm3 ], tumor volumes in low dose MT group[ (0.998 ±0.112)cm3], high dose MT group[ (0.756 ±0.128) cm3], GEM group [ (0. 746 ± 0. 115 ) cm3 ], combination group [ (0. 305 ± 0. 111 ) cm3 ] were significantly decreased ( P <0.01), and the tumor size in high dose MT group was smaller than that in low dose MT group, while the tumor size in combination group was the smallest. The activity of mice spleen natural killer cell was ( 18.07 ± 1.23) %in control group, and they were (44.27 ±3.19)% ,(45.16 ±3.20)% and (30.29 ±2.91)% in low dose MT group, high dose MT group, combination group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group;the activity of natural killer cell in GEM group was ( 14.24 ± 2.70) %, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (P <0.05), but the activity of natural killer cell in combination group was significantly higher than that in the GEM group (P < 0.01 ). Conclusions MT could improve the immune function of mice,inhibit the growth of tumor, and MT combination with GEM may have more potent antitumor effect.

Objective To study the protective effects of ulinastatin (UTI) on canine islets isolated by automated method and to determine whether the addition of UTI during the in situ pancreatic perfusion process may improve islet recovery. Methods There was no significant difference in donor-related factors (age, gender, warm ischemia time, cold storage time, weight and pancreas weight) between the two experimental groups. Twenty donors were randomly divided into two groups. Pancreases were in situ perfused via abdominal aorta using cold hypertonic citric potassium solution (HC-A) 2 500 ml, group 1 (HC-A group, n =10). The pancreases were perfused with cold HC-A and UTI ( 10 000 U/kg), group 2 (HC-A+UTI group, n =10). Intraductal collagenase V (4℃) delivery with controlled perfusion was done, the pancreas was dissociated in system of Ricordi Chamber and their purified islets were separated with Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. The digestion time, islets remaining trapped in exocrine tissue, final islet purity, insulin and C-pep secretory activity, and islet recovery were observed. The purified islets were observed under light microscopy and electronic microscopy. Results UTI supplementation did not affect the digestion time, islets remaining trapped in exocrine tissue, final islet purify, insulin and C-pep secretory activity and their ultrastructure, and islet recovery was increased. In the HC-A+UTI group the yield of islets was [( 6.17 ? 2.86 )?10 4] IEQ, while in the HC-A group, that was [( 3.42 ? 1.47 )?10 4] IEQ ( P

Objective To study the operative design, safety evaluation and feasibility of gasless laparoscopic operations. Methods The gasless laparoscopic devices (GLD) were applied to 124 cases of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy with T-tube drainage, 56 cases of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy with primary bile duct suture, 1 case of laparoscopic choledochocystectomy hepaticojejunostomy, 15 cases of modified gasless laparoscopic choledochojejunostomy, 1 case of hand-assisted laparoscopic megalosplenic resection and portozygos disconnection, and 1 case of gasless device assisted laparoscopic splenectomy. Results All the operations were successfully conducted, without any severe complications. Follow-up for 1~9 years in 129 cases of biliary duct operations found 1 case of recurrence. Follow-up for 3~12 months in 2 cases of splenic operations found no recurrence. Conclusions Gasless laparoscopic operations in this study have reached minimally invasive outcomes, proven to be safe and feasible.

Objective To study the early diagnostic value of CT for children with cerebral palsy.Methods CT manifestations of 124 cases with cerebral palsy were analysed retrospectively. Results 96 cases of the 124 cases showed a recognisable abnormality,the abnormal rate of CT was about 77.42％ ,and the most common abnormality was cerebral atrophy.Spastic type was the most common clinical type(71.77％ ).The less of the age,the higher of the abnormal rate of CT. Conclusion Although CT isn't the main basis of the diagnosis of cerebral palsy,it's helpful for us to find the pathological changes,and to find the eliology and location.It also provided basis for us to judge the prognosis of cerebral palsy.So CT has significant value in the early diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
