Objective To analyse the current situation and advance in perioperative therapy of liver transplantation for primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The published papers on current situation and advance in the perioperative therapy of liver transplantation for HCC were reviewed.Results The survival rate of liver transplantation for HCC in early stage has been the same as that for benign liver diseases up to now. However, it is still a difficult problem to improve the survival rate of liver transplantation for advanced HCC. The ideal perioperative therapies of liver transplantation for HCC should be helpful to suppress the growth of tumor while the HCC patients are waiting for donated livers, to diminish or eliminate the intraoperative spread or implantation of tumor cells and to repress the micrometastasis postoperatively. The current perioperative therapies of liver transplantation for HCC include hepatic arterial chemoembolization, systemic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, percutaneous ethanol injection into HCC and radiofrequency ablation etc. Conclusion The perioperative assistant therapy of HCC can not only save time for patients before liver transplantation but also improve the survival rate after operation.

The sphincter of Oddi is a valve that controls the biliopancreatic duct and plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining normal physiological functions of the biliopancreatic duct.However,sphincteroplasty and sphincterotomy may cause varying degrees of damage to the function of the sphincter of Oddi,which may further result in postoperative reflux of duodenal fluids and bacterial contamination in bile and increase the risks of recurrent common bile duct stones,reflux cholangitis,and even cholangiocarcinoma.Therefore,clinical physicians should protect the structure and function of the sphincter of Oddi.Based on our experience,under the premise that the extrahepatic bile duct can be preserved,patients with iatrogenic injury of the sphincter of Oddi can be treated with transduodenal sphincteroplasty to restore the structural integrity of the sphincter of Oddi and reduce biliopancreatic duct complications secondary to loss of function.

ObjectiveTo evaluate effect of music electrical stimulation on functional headache . Method78 patients were selected randomly from the patients who were cured after two years. Result46 patients are cured completely, 18 patients get better than before, accounting for 82.05%. Conclusion Music electrical stimulation is effective for functional headache.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of ultrapulse CO 2 laser-assisted au-tologous epidermal grafting for the treatment of vitiligo.Methods1605patients with30660skin grafts were treated by CO 2 laser-assisted autologous epidermal grafting.Among them,782patients had localized vi-tiligo,319segmental,226general and278scattered.Epidermal grafts were harvested with negative pressure blistering method from normally pigmented skin,and recipient areas were prepared with a ultrapulse CO 2 laser.The curative effect was evaluated8weeks later.Results79.04%of the lesions were cured complete-ly,and total response rate was92.21%,with better effect in localized and scattered lesions than in other le-sions.The best results were shown in face,while the worst results shown in brow and hairline lesions.Con-clusions The advantage of combined therapy of CO 2 laser with autologous epidermal grafting in vitiligo is of easy performance,convenience,high response rate,which is worthy of large scale application.

The incidence rate of erectile dysfunction (ED) is reportedly as high as 30-90% after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, which seriously affects the patients' quality of life. Penile rehabilitation is defined as the use of any drug or device at or after radical prostatectomy to maximize erectile function recovery. A variety of treatment options are available for post-prostatectomy ED patients, including oral phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5I) , intracorporal injections, vacuum erection device, and penile prosthesis. This article presents an overview of the currently used methods for the drug treatment and penile rehabilitation of the ED patients after radical prostatectomy. It seems proper to recommend daily use of a vacuum erection device plus oral PDE5I in the early postoperative period. For those who fail to respond to this therapy, intraurethral alprostadil, intracorporal injections, or a penile prosthesis could be considered.

Objective Serum glycated albumin (GA) is associated with the levels of blood glucose and short term glycemic fluctuation. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between GA and arterial stiffness in a health screening population. Method A total of 11 014 participants (men, 56.2%;mean age, 46.8±7.8 years) who attended physical examination were invited and had completed standardized questionnaires. Serum GA and homocysteine (HCY), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), and central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) were measured. A series of single and multiple factor analyses and stratified analysis were performed. Result The mean level of serum GA was lower in men (13.69 ± 2.69) than in women (13.82 ± 1.92) (t=2.78, P=0.005). The values of baPWV (men: F=53.9, P for trend<0.001;women:F=37.7, P for trend<0.001) and cSBP (men:F=10.3, P for trend<0.001;women:F=13.5, P for trend<0.001) increased with quartiles of GA levels in both men and women. After adjustment for age, history of hypertension, diabetes, family history of diabetes, smoking status, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood lipids, kidney function, fasting glucose, postprandial glucose, and hemoglobin A1c, GA was positively associated with baPWV (βestimate, 0.019;95%CI:0.002-0.036;P=0.032) and cSBP (βestimate, 0.251; 95% CI: 0.107-0.394; P=0.001) in men. Stratified analysis also showed that the positive associations of GA with baPWV and cSBP remained significant in men both with and without diabetes or hypertension (P<0.05). However, the association between GA and HCY was not significant in multifactor analysis and stratified analysis. The above results were similar in women. Conclusion Serum GA levels were positively associated with baPWV and cSBP not only in patients with diabetes or hypertension but also in participants without diabetes or hypertension after adjusting for conventional factors and glucose markers. The findings suggest that GA may help detect the development of arterial stiffness in the health screening population.

In this paper we analyzed examination results of the Beijing Community Dentistry Professional Post Assessment and related factors, also discussed the measures for improving the quality of the post assessment. In 325 examinees 244 passed with a pass rate of 75.1%. There significant differences among examinees, educational background and academic training were most influential

Objective To explore the effects of selective external biliary drainage (SEBD) on the liver function of rats with obstructive jaundice. Methods The rates of right hepatic lobe weight against body weight of SD rats in SEBD group and total external biliary drainage (TEBD) group were calculated at day 0, 1, 4, 7, 10 after external biliary drainage. The mRNA and protein expressions of multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) and bile salt export pump (BSEP) were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results Compared with TEBD group, the rate of right hepatic lobe weight against body weight and mRNA and protein expression of MRP2 and BSEP were significantly higher in SEBD group (t=15.569, P <0.05 ; t =4.485, 7.143, 9.169, 5.178, P <0.05). Conclusions SEBD improves the liver function of rats with obstructive jaundice, which may be related to the compensatory increase of remnant liver volume and elevation of expression per volume of membrane transport proteins.
