Objetive To investigate the effect of Fasudil on the hepatic ischemia repeffusion injury on rats of obstructive jaundice.Methods 160 mature SD rats were randomly assigned into 2 large groups,namely experimental group (Group A) and control group (Group B).While each large group was subdivided into 4 subgroups,including sham operation subgroups(Group A1 and B1),obstructive jaundice model subgroups(Group A2 and B2),ischemia reperfusion model subgroups (Group A3 and B3)and obstructive jaundice plus ischemia reperfusion model subgroups (Group A4 and B4).In Group A2 and B2,obstructive jaundice models were made on rats by double ligating and cutting the common bile ducts.In Group A3 and B3,the ischemia reperfusion injury models were built by blocking the hepatic portal vessel for 30 minutes before reperfusion.In Group A4 and B4,the ischemia reperfusion injury models were built in 1 week after building the obstructive jaundice models.For Group A,10 mg/kg fasudil was intraperitoneally injected at 30 minutes before ischemia.For Group B,equal amount of physiological saline was injected.Samples were gained on zero hour,1 hour,2 hour and 6 hour post reperfusion.The serum indexes for liver function and serum Endothelin 1 level were tested and analyzed through SPSS.Pathological changes of liver were viewed correspondingly.Results Compared to control groups (Group Bs),experimental groups (Groups As) have better liver function,lower Endothelin 1 level (P < 0.05),as well as less severe microscopic histological damage.Conclusion Fasudil can effectively protect rats of obstructive jaundice from hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury.

Objective To study the correlation between liver fibroindex and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatectomy.Methods The clinical data of 77 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent hepatectomy at the 5th Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University from 2009 October to 2014 December were analyzed retrospectively.Using data from preoperative Fibroindex,these patients were divided into 2 groups,Group 1:Fibroindex ≤5.4,and Group 2:Fibroindex >5.4.The clinical pathological parameters and postoperative disease free survival rates in these groups were analyzed.The Cox ratio risk pattern analysis was used for factors correlating recurrence.Results The parameters in the 2 groups which included sex (35/0 vs 29/13),type of cirrhosis (23/12 vs 14/28),numbers of tumor (35/0 vs 26/16),maximal diameter of tumor (31/4 vs 23/19),vascular invasion status (32/3 vs 26/16),resection margin status (35/0 vs 36/6),hepatic vein/portal vein tumor thrombus status (35/0 vs 29/13),perioperative change of HBV DNA levels (23/12 vs 15/27)were correlated with postoperative recurrence,and they all showed significant differences (P < 0.05).Disease free survival rate in Group 2 was lower than Group 1 (71.4%,33.7%,22.4% vs 94.3%,46.2%,46.2%,P < 0.05).The Cox regression analysis showed Fibroindex > 5.4,AFP-L3% ≥ 10%,and number of tumor > 3 to be independent predictors of poor disease-free survival after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (P < 0.05).Conclusions Preoperative Fibroindex > 5.4 was an independent adverse predictor of poor disease-free survival.It was valuable to predict postoperative recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

Objective To explore the value of preoperative spleen-liver volume ratio for predicting recurrence of primary liver cancer after hepatectomy.Methods Clinical data of 75 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing hepatectomy were analyzed retrospectively.According to the preoperative spleen-liver volume ratio,these patients were divided into 2 groups:those with spleen-liver volume ratio < 0.8,and spleen-liver volume ratio≥0.8.Patients were followed-up until March 2014.Cox ratio risk pattern analysis was used for the recurrent correlative factors.Results Univariate analysis showed that preoperative AFPL3% ≥ 10%,the maximum diameter of the tumor > 5 cm,the number of tumor > 3,spleen-liver volume ratio ≥0.8,vascular invasion,positive resection margin and hepatic or portal vein tumor thrombus were all risk factors of poor disease-free survival (P < 0.05).Cox regression analysis revealed that spleen-liver volume ratio ≥0.8,AFP-L3% ≥10%,the maximum diameter of the tumor >5 cm and hepatic or portal vein tumor thrombus were independent predictors of poor disease-free survival after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma(P < 0.05).Conclusions Preoperative spleen-liver volume ratio ≥0.8 was an independent adverse predictor of poor disease-free survival.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of different doses of fasudil on hepatic ischemia/reperfussion (I/R) injury in rats with liver cirrhosis.Methods Cirrhosis was induced in rats by subcutaneous injection of 60% carbon tetrachloride (CC14) corn oil solution (0.4 ml/100 g) twice a week for twelve weeks.Five percent of alcohol was given intermittently in drinking water.Then 40 cirrhotic rats were randomized into 4 groups.In sham group,sham operation was performed.In I/R group A and B,whole rat livers were subjected to warm ischemia by clamping the hepatic artery and portal vein for 30 min.In group A,the selected rats were pretreated with low-dose fasudil 1 mg/kg (intraperitoneal injection) 30 min before the induction of ischemia,and in group B,with high-dose 10 mg/kg.The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and endothelin-1 (ET-1),and the liver tissue superoxide dismutase (SOD)activity,malondialdehyde (MDA) content,the expression of HIF-1a (hypoxia-inducible fador-1a) were measured after reperfusion for 6 hours.Hepatic pathologic changes were observed under microscope.Results Compared with I/R group,the serum ALT,AST,ET-1 levels,MDA content and the expression of HIF-1 a were markedly decreased in group B,while the SOD activity significantly increased (P < 0.05).And the pathologic changes were less severe in group B.Conclusion The high-dose fasudil markedly lessened the expression of HIF-1a,up-regulated the concentration of SOD,and lowered the levels of MDA and ET-1,protecting against heoatic ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats with liver cirrhosis.

Objective To study the predictive value of preoperative blood CD4 +/CD8 + ratio in postoperative recurrence after hepatectomy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 67 patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma at The Fifth Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University were analyzed retrospectively.Using the preoperative blood CD4 +/CD8 + ratio,these patients were divided into 2 groups,the CD4 +/CD8 + < 1 group and the CD4 +/CD8 + ≥ 1 group.These patients were followed up at the outpatient clinic and/or by telephone till June 2013.The Cox ratio risk pattern analysis was used to determine the significant risk factors of tumor recurrence.Results On univariate analysis,preoperative AFP ≥400 μg/L,maximum diameter of tumor > 5 cm,number of tumor > 3,CD4 +/CD8 + < 1,vascular invasion,positive resection margin,and portal vein tumor thrombus were risk factors of poor disease-free survival (P < 0.05).On multivariant analysis,CD4 +/CD8 + < 1,number of tumor > 3,and portal vein tumor thrombus were independent predictors of poor disease-free survival after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (P < 0.05).Conclusions Preoperative CD4 +/CD8 + < 1 was an independent adverse predictor of poor disease-free survival.It was valuable in predicting postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the effect on occupational failure and psychological withdraw behavior of group occupational characteristics in nurses of Pearl River Delta. Methods Questionnaire approach including demographic variables, job autonomy of occupational characteristics, work routinization, occupational exposure risk, occupational stress, occupational failure and psychological withdraw behavior were investigated in clinical nurses in 20 hospitals of Pearl River Delta. Results Group occupational characteristics in nurses influence directly on the psychological withdraw behavior. Occupational failure was partly involve in the relationships such as job autonomy of occupational characteristics and psychological withdraw behavior, work routinization and psychological withdraw behavior, occupational exposure risk and psychological withdraw behavior, occupational stress and psychological withdraw behavior. Conclusions Relative to other professions, group occupational characteristics in nurses cause higher occupational failure rate, and the psychological withdraw behavior in nurses is obviously.Attention should be taken from organizational leadership level to personal level.It is eager to take appropriate measures to relieve the occupational failure in nurses.
