Purpose Liver fibrosis is the common pathological process of cirrhosis developed by chronic liver disease.This study aims to explore the application of microvascular change in assessing the liver fibrosis induced by bile duct ligation based on X-ray phasecontrast computed tomography (PCCT).Materials and Methods Ten rats were equally divided into the group of bile duct ligation-induced liver fibrosis and the control group at random.Then ten excised liver tissues were imaged at beamline BL13W1 of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility in China.After the imaging studies,the liver samples were stained with Sirius red and immunostained with antibodies against cytokeratin 19 (CK19).The microvasculature in livers was reconstructed via PCCT,and the correlation analysis on microvascular density and the proportion of fibrosis area was performed.Results The microvasculature including blood vessels,dilated bile ducts and ductular proliferation were clearly revealed by PCCT technology.Moreover,the 3D microvascular density and proportion of fibrosis area in the liver fibrosis group increased significantly compared with those in the control group (P＜0.01),and the correlation between them was obvious (r=0.812,P＜0.01).Conclusion Microvascular 3D characteristics of liver fibrosis are well demonstrated by PCCT,and 3D microvascular density is significantly correlated with the proportion of fibrosis area.Those findings indicate that microvascular change is closely related to the degree of liver fibrosis induced by bile duct ligation,and thus it provides a novel means to assess the severity of liver fibrosis through microvascular change.

Objective To explore potential related factors of left ventricular hypertrophy in maintenance hemodialy?sis (MHD) patients. Methods Sixty patients were enrolled in the study. Echocardiography was performed to exam LVH in?dexes. There are forty-three patients with LVH (LVH group), and seventeen patients without LVH (non-LVH group). Clini?cal data were collected to exam the levels of hemoglobin (HGB), creatinine (Cr), parathyrin (iPTH), albumin (ALB), triglycer?ide (TG), cholesterol(CHO), calcium(Ca), phosphorus(P), advanced oxygen protein products (AOPP) and C reactive protein (CRP). Results Compared with non-LVH group, age, BP, iPTH, AOPP were higher in LVH group patients while BMI and other biochemistry index does not show any statistical difference. Multiple linear stepwise regressions analysis shows that SBP, iPTH and AOPP are correlated factors to left ventricle mass index (LVMI). Conclusion LVH is prevalent in MHD pa?tients. BP, iPTH and AOPP are the risk factors for LVH.

Objective To evaluate the risk factors for healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in senile dementia pa-tients,so as to adopt effective nursing measures to reduce the incidence of HAI.Methods Clinical data of 82 senile dementia patients aged≥60 years and hospitalized between January 2011 and June 2013 were analyzed retrospective-ly.Results Of 82 patients,28 (34.15%)developed HAI.The main infection site was lower respiratory tract(n=15,53.57%),followed by urinary tract(n=6,21 .43%).Univariate analysis revealed that risk factors for HAI in senile dementia patients were bedridden,long length of hospital stay ,dysphagia,indwelling urinary catheter,irra-tional use of antimicrobial agents,combined with tumor,and hypoproteinemia (all P <0.05 ).The main isolated bacteria were gram-negative bacilli(n=40,62.50%),the top three pathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=12, 18.75%),Escherichia coli (n =10,15.63%),and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n =8,12.50%).Conclusion Reali-zing the risk factors and common pathogens of HAI in senile dementia patients is helpful for taking effective meas-ures to prevent and control the incidence of HAI .

Objective To investigate renal expression of ApoE in human lupus nephritis (LN) and its relationship with renal damages.Methods Renal expression of ApoE was examined in 40 LN patient biopsy samples by immunohistochemieal staining.The relationship between ApoE levels" and renal pathologic changes,renal injuries was analyzed.Results Only weak ApoE expression was found in normal renal tissue.The expression of ApoE was significantly higher in LN patients [ glomerular:(31.2±11.0) vs (3.0±1.6);tub-ular:(71.64±8.90) vs (0.60±0.06)].The expression of ApoE was higher in class IV than non-class IV LN [glomerular: (38.4±4.5) vs (18.0±4.6);tubular: (77.6±2.5) vs (60.0±3.2)].Spearman's relation-ship analysis showed that the expression of ApoE in glomerular and tubular was closely related to the renal histological score activity index and functional changes in LN (P＜0.01).Conclusion The expression of ApoE is high in renal tissues of LN,especially in class IV,and the high expression may be associated with LN activity and progressive renal dysfunction.

Objective To establish the subcutaneous transplantation tumor models with Lewis lung adenocarcinoma in C57BL/6 mice, and to observe the influence of oHSV2, DDP and drug combination on tumor volume, median survival time and weight of tumor-burdened mice.Methods Subcutaneous transplantation tumor models were established with Lewis lung adenocarcinoma in tumor-burdened mice.Tumor-burdened mice were randomly divided into the control group, oHSV2 group, DDP group, oHSV2/DDP sequential group, DDP/oHSV2 sequential group and oHSV2+DDP combination group with 12 rats in each group using the random number table method.The tumor size and weight of mice were measured every 3 days.Results On the 21st day, the tumor size of tumor-burdened mice in every group was as follows: control group (1.82±0.06)cm3, oHSV2 group (0.63±0.05)cm3, DDP group (0.58±0.03)cm3, oHSV2/DDP sequential group (0.49±0.05)cm3, DDP/oHSV2 sequential group (0.42±0.04)cm3, and the difference was statistically significant (F=1 359.01, P=0.000).The data in oHSV2+DDP group were put away because of premature death in mice.The differences were statistically significant between control group and oHSV2 group (P=0.000), control group and DDP group (P=0.000), control group and oHSV2/DDP sequential group (P=0.000), control group and DDP/oHSV2 sequential group (P=0.000), oHSV2 group and DDP group (P=0.017), DDP group and DDP/oHSV2 sequential group (P=0.000), oHSV2/DDP sequential group and DDP/oHSV2 sequential group (P=0.001).The weight of tumor-burdened mice in every group was listed as follows: control group (21.64±0.40)g, oHSV2 group (21.34±0.37)g, DDP group (15.96±0.43)g, oHSV2/DDP sequential group (19.04±0.31)g, DDP/oHSV2 sequential group (16.34±0.30)g, and the difference was statistically significant (F=588.67, P=0.000).The difference was not statistically significant between control group and oHSV2 group (P=0.076).However, the differences were statistically significant between control group and DDP group (P=0.000), control group and oHSV2/DDP sequential group (P=0.000), control group and DDP/oHSV2 sequential group (P=0.000), oHSV2 group and DDP group (P=0.000), oHSV2 group and oHSV2/DDP sequential group (P=0.000), DDP group and DDP/oHSV2 group (P=0.013), oHSV2/DDP sequential group and DDP/oHSV2 sequential group (P=0.000).The median survival time of tumor-burdened mice in every group was displayed as follows: control group 23 d , oHSV2 group 32 d, DDP group 30 d, oHSV2/DDP sequential group 37 d, DDP/oHSV2 sequential group 39 d, oHSV2+DDP combination group 16 d, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=120.81, P=0.000).The differences were statistically significant between control group and oHSV2 group (χ2=10.88, P=0.001), control group and DDP group (χ2=10.69, P=0.001), oHSV2 group and DDP/oHSV2 sequential group (χ2=10.09, P=0.001), DDP group and DDP/oHSV2 sequential group (χ2=9.67, P=0.002).However, the differences were not statistically significant between oHSV2 group and DDP group (χ2=0.00, P=0.996), oHSV2/DDP sequential group and DDP/oHSV2 sequential group (χ2=2.70, P=0.100).Conclusion On the premise of that the weight of mice is no affected, oHSV2 can inhibit the tumor size and prolong the median survival time of tumor-burdened mice effectively, and the effect of DDP/oHSV2 sequential group is the most significant.This article provides an experimental basis for exploring therapeutic methods of lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective Because of local infiltrated growth and spread,the operative resection of hilar (cholangiocacinoma) is very difficult. Recently,combined extended hepatectomy and vascular resection had been performed for treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and has greatly increased the resection rate and survival rate.However, it is associated with high operative morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to explore a reasonable hepatic resection strategy, that is safe and beneficial for the patient. Method Sixteen (consecutive) cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma with involvement of hilar vessels have been treated in our hospital since 1977. En bloc resection of the hilar tumor that included hepatic segment I,IV and involved blood (vessel), as well as hepato-duodenal ligament skeletonization was performed in 15 patients. Results All 15 cases were successfully operated on with a resection rate of 93.8%, and 12 cases with R_0 resection. The operative mortality and in-hospital mortality rate were 0. Temporary bile leak and abdominal infection (respectively) developed in 1 patienteach,with an overall morbidity of 13.3%,and both were cured by non-(operative) therapy. No case of liver failure occurred. Follow up showed the median survival was 22 months and 7 are still alive. Conclusions (1)The resection rate and survival rate for hilar cholangiocarcinoma could be improved by combination of liver and hilar vascular resection.(2)Hilar cholangiocarcinoma mainly spreads to the medial segment(S4) and caudate(S1), and these segments need to be resected in the combined (operation).(3)Although resection of the middle part of liver takes little more time than hemi-hepatectomy and trisegmentectomy, it could preserve more liver parenchyma and reduce postoperative morbidity (such as liver failure) and mortality rates.(4)The resection of the hilar blood vessel involved by tumor was necessary to improve the resection rate and cure rate. Reconstruction of the blood vessel was made selectively by taking the circumstances into consideration.
