Objective:This study compares titanium ring-pin stapler and hand-sutures in the end-to-end anastomosis between renal artery and internal iliac artery in clinical kidney transplant. Methods:In 75 renal allograft recipients, the arterial reconstruction were randomly assigned to anastomoses with either 6/0 interrupted nylon sutures(39 patients) or titanium ring-pin stapler(36 cases). Results:Arterial anastomosis with ring-pin stapler was significantly faster(17.8 versus 28.1 min). In 2 cases, a lower pole artery was successfully anastomosed to the epigastric artery with 2 mm ring. All 75 renal arteries were patented without episodes of postoperative bleeding, or need for revision of the anastomosis in both groups. Mechanical anastomosis resulted in slightly but not statistically significantly less artery stenosis during 2-5-year follow-up.Conclusion:Renal artery anastomosis with ring-pin stapler is as safe and effective as hand-suture. The time required for mechanical anastomosis is only about 1/2 that required for suture anastomosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of batroxobin on the plasma levels of endothelin (ET) and calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP) in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI). Methods 60 patients with ACI were randomly divided into therapy group(n = 30) and control group(n = 30),500 ml of 5% GS plus 1.0g ramme of Troxerutin was intravenously dripped par day and ticlopidine 250mg/day in the control group. Based on the control group therapy,Batroxobin was intravenously dripped with 10U on the 1st day and 5U on the 3rd and 5th day for seven days. The plasma levels of ET and CGRP were detected pre and post treatment by radioimmunoassay. Results Plasma levels of ET and CGRP in batroxobin therapy group post treatment ( 81.25±27.38 ) ; ( 44. 13±13.30) ng/L were significantly different from those pre treatment(109. 83±38.24) ; (24. 73±13.59) ng/L (all P＜0. 01 ) ,and were also significantly different from those post treatment in the control group(98.07±30. 39) ; (37.02±12. 41 )ng/L (all P＜0. 01 ). Conclusion Batroxobin can accommodate the equilibration between ET and CGRP, and protect brain cell and blood vessel endothelial cell.

Objective The aim of this study is to elucidate the current status of hilar cholangiocarcinoma with regard to its epidemiology,clinical features,diagnosis,Bismuth-Corlette typing,pathologic categories,treatment,complication and prognosis in China.Methods Original articles published form January 1991 to August 2008 were searched in the CBM disc,VIP information and CNKI.Clinical appraisal and data extraction were conducted independently by 2 reviewers.The outcomes of 2280 procedures from 22 retrospective studies were analyzed.Results When radical resection was compared with palliative resection,the 1-yr survival rate (84.0％ vs.46.8％,OR=5.71,95％CI 3.99～8.17,P＜0.01) and 3-yr survival rate (31.5％ vs.13.5％,OR=4.43,95％CI 2.07～9.47,P＜0.01) were significantly higher.For the palliative resection group,the 1-yr survival rate of the drainage group (27.2％ vs.38.7％,OR=0.47,95％CI 0.31～0.72,P＜0.01) was significantly higher than the palliative resection group.The rate of tumor resection rose after 2002 (x2=35.9588,P＜0.01),but the rate of radical resection did not significantly rise ((2 =2.1052,P=0.1468).Conclusions Radical resection is still the optimal treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.If radical resection is technically not possible,palliative drainage is a reasonable treatment.Palliative resection do not improve survival and it is not recommended.

Objective Explore the relationship of ventricular late potential (VLP) and the heart function of children with viral myocarditis,and provide the evidence for their diagnosis and therapy.Methods The clinical data of 152 cases of epileptic children were collected.The patient group was divided into three groups (severe arrhythmia,heart failure,and cardiogenic shock).The patient group was also divided into two groups (cardiac dilatation,and non-cardiac dilatation) according to UCG.Serum levels of cTnI and VLP in children with viral myocarditis were detected.Results The VLP was negative in the mild and control groups,but the positive rate of VLP is 75.0 ％ in the severe group.The positive rate of VLP was 60.0％ in the severe arrhythmia group,77.78％ in the heart failure group,and 100％ in the shock group.There is one kind of negative rank correlation between LAS,RMS40 and LVFS (P ＜ 0.05),and another negative rank correlation between RMS40 and LVEF (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The children with viral myocarditis have a favorable prognosis.The sever patient in the minority must be diagnosed in time and treated because of the critical state of viral myocarditis children.The serum level of cTnI and VLP were increased in children with viral myocarditis,and they were sensitive parameters to reflect patients’ condition.

This study examined the effect of artesunate (Art) on the proliferation, DNA replication, cell cycles and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Primary cultures of VSMCs were established from aortas of mice and artesunate of different concentrations was added into the medium. The number of VSMCs was counted and the curve of cell growth was recorded. The activity of VSMCs was assessed by using MTT method and inhibitory rate was calculated. DNA replication was evaluated by [3H]-TdR method and apoptosis by DNA laddering and HE staining. Flowmetry was used for simultaneous analysis of cell apoptosis and cell cycles. Compared with the control group, VSMCs proliferation in Art interfering groups were inhibited and [3H]-TdR incorprating rate were decreased as well as cell apoptosis was induced. The progress of cell cycle was blocked in G0/G1 by Art in a dose-dependent manner. It is concluded that Art inhibits VSMCs proliferation by disturbing DNA replication, inducing cell apoptosis and blocking cell cycle in G0/G1 phase.

A gas chromatographic method was established for determination of cholesterol. The egg yolk was directly saponified with 1ml 40% potassium hydroxide and 20ml ethylene glycol. The unsaponifiable substances were extracted by diethyl ether and then dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The extract (2?l) was injected into the gas chromatograph. The average percentage of recovery was 100.0?2.6%. The precision of the method was good, the coefficient of variation was 1.9%. The mean cholesterol content of egg yolk determined by this method was 1247.1?80.1 mg/100g and agreed with the value reported in literature.

Objective:To compare the social adaptability of Chinese and Japanese children Method:306 preschool children in Xi'an and 215 Japanese children were sampled The research instrument was the Infant-Junior Middle School Social Adaptive Capacity Scale Result:In the six fields of social adaptability, Chinese children had lower scores than Japanese children, except for that of sports Conclusion:Chinese preschool children have lower social adaptive capacity, which may be due to the overprotective attitude of Chinese parents or grandparents

Target therapy is a major progress in treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. Cetuximab and bevacizumab are the most widely used target agents in colorectal cancer, which target against EGFR and VEGF respectively. The addition of target agent to chemotherapy improve efficacy and prolong survival in the first line setting, as well as in the second line setting. The increased respectability of liver metastases from colorectal cancer is of great importance, k-ras gene mutation is a definite predictor of cetuximab, however, there is no clear predictor for bevacizumab.
