Objective　To evaluate the effect of abdominal drains on difficult cholecystectomy.Method　894 cases of difficult cholecystectomy from Jan. 1988 to Jun. 1999 were retrospectively analysed.Results　The incidences of complication, reoperation and death in drain group were 6.81%,1.16% and 0.33%，respectively while those in non-drain group were 33.56%,9.59% and 4.11% respectively.There was significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion　Abdominal drains should be laid routinely in difficult cholecystectomy.

Progress in multi-disciplinary therapy for primary liver cancer (PLC) increases the 5-year survival rate from 2.6％ to 20.6％.However,the overall survival rate failed to increase significantly in the past twenty years because of lack of standardization in treatment of PLC.It is important to establish clinical guidelines which are based on randomized controlled trials,meta analysis,or systematic reviews.This review summarizes the pertinent clinical trials on PLC therapies published before October 2010.The articles were selected by a comprehensive literature search using the terms ‘liver neoplasms',‘ hepatectomy',‘ liver transplantation',‘ transarterial chemoembolization',‘ radiofrequency ablation',‘ percutaneous ethanol injection',‘ radiotherapy',‘ biological therapy',‘ chemotherapy',or ‘ Chinese herbs’.

Objective To find antigens related with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Human Zinc Finger Protein 216(ZNF216) was identified by SEREX(serological analysis of recombinant cDNA expression libraries,SEREX).The 6His fusion protein of ZNF216 was expressed by bacteria and purified with a nickel affinity chromatography column.The level of anti-ZNF216 antibody in the sera was detected by ELISA,andZNF216 mRNA level in HCC tissue and its peripheral normal tissue was detected by RT-PCR.Results The level of anti-ZNF216 antibody in the sera of HCC patients was higher than that of healthy individuals.ZNF216 mRNA level in HCC tissue is evidently higher than peripheral normal tissue.Conclusion The over-expression of ZNF216 in the HCC sera and tissue indicates that ZNF216 perhaps plays a role in HCC.

The metabolic properties of cancer cells diverge significantly from those of normal cells. Energy production in cancer cells is abnormally dependent on aerobic glycolysis. In addition,cancer cells have other metabolic characteristics,such as increasing fatty acid synthesis and glutamine metabolism. Emerging evidences show that many key enzymes in dysregulated Warburg-like glucose metabolism,fatty acid synthesis and glutaminolysis are linked to drug resistance in cancer treatment. For example, lactate dehydrogenase A contributes to paclitaxel/trastuzuma resistance in breast cancer, fatty acid synthase is linked to docetaxel/trastuzumab/adriamycin resistance in breast cancer, and glutaminolysis is linked to cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer. Therefore,targeting cellular metabolism may improve the response to cancer therapeutics,and the combination of chemotherapeutic drugs with cellular metabolism inhibitors may overcome drug resistance in cancer therapy. This review discussed the relationship between dysregulated cellular metabolism and chemotherapy resistance, and the way in which targeting of metabolic enzymes can help overcome the resistance to cancer therapy or enhance the efficacy of common therapeutic agents.

ObjectiveTo evaluate intraoperative cholangiograhy during cholecystectomy for patients with preoperative benign gallbladder disease. Methods Unexpected biliary disease and anomaly found by intraoperative cholangiography in 904 cases of preoperatively diagnosed simple gallbladder stone and polypoid lesions were analyzed. Results Choledocholithiasis was found in 79 cases, anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ)in 21, gallbladder cystic duct variations in 28, right accessory hepatic duct in 4 . Conclusions Intraoperative cholangiograhy during the process of simple cholecystectomy helps to discover preoperatively mis-diagnosed choledocholithiasis, hence to avoid secondary exploration of common bile duct which is otherwise inevitable, it may also demonstrate the anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction and bile ductal anatomic variations.

Objective To establish a new model of acute hepatic failure in canines for bioartificial liver treatment research . Methods Acute hepatic failure was induced by end to side portocaval shunt combined with common bile duct ligation and transection. The survival rate, liver function, ammonia, Fischer's ratio (BCAA/AAA) and pathological change of injury liver were investigated. Results The ammonia, ALT, AKP, total bilirubin and PT were elevated dramatically and Fischer's ratio declined significantly 14 days after the operation. The survival rate of the models decreased with time 14 days after the operation. Pathological examination of liver tissues revealed evidence of cholestasis, inflammation with accumulation of neutrophils, degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes.Conclusions End to side portocaval shunt combined with common bile duct ligation and transection can produce a satisfactory acute hepatic failure model in canines, which could be used in the study of bioartificial liver.

Objective To discuss the method of the surgical treatment for retained and regenerate hepaticolithiasis, and to improve the theraputic level. Methods In recent 5 years,in our hospital,136 cases of retained and regenerate hepaticolithiasis were treated by combination of hepatolobectomy with other operation, and these cases were analyzed retrospectivly. Results One patient died after operation (0. 7%),8 patients had other complications including: biliary fistuta(6 cases, 4.4%), subphrenic abscess (2 cases,1.5%). All cases were visited for 2.5 - 8.3 years, 115 (84.6%) cases had not any symptom, 6 (4.4%)cases had infection of biliary tract, 6(4.4%) cases had retained calculus, 9(6.6%) cases recurred calculus 2 -5 years after operation. Conclusion Retained and regenerate hepaticolithiasis should be treated by combination of hepatolobectomy with other operation and fiber choledochoscope and B ultrasound of operation, which can increase therapeutic effect.

OBJECTIVE To find out about the transverse section use rate of antimicrobials in our hospital. METHODS A transverse section survey was made from midnight on June 24,2004 to midnight on June 25,2004 within all the inpatients. RESULTS Among 1132 inpatients,the transverse section use rate of antimicrobials was 58.83%,the combined medication ratio being 34.08%.Of all antimicrobial takers 65.92% were given single drug,31.68% double,and 2.40% were given triple.Among all departments of the hospital,the universal ICU had the highest use rate which was 100.00%,next to which were those in the departments of nephrology and gynecology,being respectively 90.00% and 87.23%.The antimicrobial use rate in surgical department(69.68%) was remarkably higher than that in medical department(43.08%).The departments of ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology had the highest prophylactic use rate which was 83.64%.Rate of etiological examination for therapeutic medication in the whole hospital was 35.97%. CONCLUSIONS The transverse section use rate of antimicrobial in our hospital is slightly higher than the national average use rate.The constituent ratio of prophylactic medication is on the high side and the rate of etiological examination for therapeutic medication is on the low side.Management should be further strengthened for rational use of antimicrobials.

Objective Using polysulfon fibers, a new bioartificial liver was developed. This study was to evaluate the efficacy of this bioartificial liver in the support of a disfunctioned liver. Methods Hepatocytes were procured from swine using Seglen′s methods. The bioartificial liver was constructed based on polysulfon bioreactor with a procurement of 10 10 hepatocytes, and was applied in 12 acute liver failure patients for 14 sessions. Each BAL treatment lasted 6 hours. The general conditions of the patients and the biochemical parameters were evaluated. Results After treatment with bioartificial liver, ammonia, prothrombin time and total bilirubin level significantly decreased (all P
