Objective To investigate the role of neutrophils and protease inhibitor in the pathogenesis of hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury. Methods The models of liver ischemia reperfusion (LIR) and orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) were established in rats. The contents of serum ALT and LDH and liver myeloperoxidase(MPO) were determined. Meanwhile, the hepatic pathohistological changes were observed and the number of infiltrating neutrophils counted. As for the LIR model, the animals were administered with aprotinin (AP) before ischemia. Then reperfusion was achieved 45 min after ischemia. The samples were collected after reperfusion for 4 h. In OLT model, the animals were administered with AP 1 h before the transplantation and the samples were collected 4 h postoperatively. Results The contents of serum ALT and LDH and liver MPO were significantly higher in the control group than in the experimental one (P

Objective To explore the influence of abnormal donor hepatic artery on hepatic artery and biliary complications after liver transplanta?tion,and summarize the hepatic artery reconstruction procedures during transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 210 cases of liver transplan?tation conducted in our hospital from May 2005 to April 2015 were retrospectively searched for the study,including 42 with abnormal donor hepatic artery. Results Among the 210 liver transplantation,42 cases exhibited abnormal donor hepatic artery,and the aberration rate was 20.0%. Mean volume of blood flow of abnormal group and normal group was 4.7±95.1 mL/min and 190.9±101.6 mL/min,respectively. There was no statistic differ?ence(P=0.519). Twelve cases had arterial complications,the incidence rate was 5.71%,and there was no statistic difference between each group (χ2=0.72,P>0.05). Twenty five cases got biliary complications,the incidence rate was 11.9%,and there was no statistic differences between each group(χ2=0.05,P>0.05). Conclusion There was no statistic difference of mean volume of blood flow after arterial reconstruction between two groups. Liver transplantation with abnormal arterial reconstruction will not increase the incidence rate of arterial and biliary complications.

Objective: To evaluate the targeting activity in the animal model with human hepatoma, the 131I-human antiHBsAg Fab radioimmunoimaging was explored. Methods: Radioimmunoimagings were taken on different intervals after injection of 131 I-human anti-HBsAg Fab to the nude mice and tissue distribution was measured. The human anti-HBsAg Fab was compared with the murine monoclonal antibodies. Results: The experimental group developed tumor positive images after 3 days of radio-labeled monoclonal antibodies injection, and the peak accumulation of radio-activity on the 5th day.Statistics indicated the tumor/liver ratio of the human anti-HBsAg Fab, murine monoclonal antibodies and the control groups were 5.4,4.0 and 0.9 respectively on the 7th day. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the 131 I-human anti-HB-sAg Fab has a considerable targeting activity, and provide an evidence that it can be used as a novel humanized carrer for targeting therapy of hepatoma.

Objective To investigate the biological effect of anti-leukemic cells induced by eosinophilic granulocyte (EOS) in bone marrow of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).Methods The BCR-ABL fusion gene as well as the expression of IL-12 and IL-17 mRNA were performed by RT-PCR.The serum concentrations of cytokine IL-12 and IL-17 were determined by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA).Immunochemistry staining and cytochemistry staining were used to observe the peroxydase (POX) and human Leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR expression of EOS in bone marrow.Immunofluorescence staining was used to observe mannose receptor (MR),IL-12,IL-17A and IL-17receptor A (IL-17RA) expression of EOS.The results between the CML patients and the healthy controls were compared.Results Serum levels of IL-12 and IL-17 were higher in the 60 CML patients [(196.33 ±21.79) ng/L and (36.55-±3.01) ng/L] than those in the controls [(96.60 ±4.92) ng/L and (23.74 ±1.36) ng/L].In the 32 patients with activated EOS,the levels of IL-12 and IL-17 were (273.12 ± 17.16)ng/L and (40.11 ± 6.13) ng/L,which were significantly higher than those in the non-activated EOS [(126.16 ± 14.27) ng/L and (28.14 ±5.29) ng/L] (P values <0.01).IL-12 and IL-17 mRNA were expressed in activated EOS,while BCR-ABL fusion gene was not found.The amounts of EOS were increased abnormally in the bone marrow and peripheral blood of the CML patients with POX positive staining in the cytoplasm and weakly positive HLA-DR staining.It was observed easily by a microscope that EOS could attack leukemic cells in bone marrow through adhesion,capture and phagocytosis.Activated EOS could express IL-12,IL-17A and MR,which was related with the serum levels of these cytokines.Conclusions Activated EOS in bone marrow of CML patients could express IL-12 and IL-17.Activated EOS could induce coup injury to leukemic cell by releasing POX and expressing IL-12 and IL-17.It can also capture or swallow target cells via the expression of MR on the membrane.EOS may play an important role in the anti-tumor immunologic function in bone marrow of CML patients.

Objective To evaluate the renal protective effect of targeted abdominal perfusion pressure (APP) treatment in intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and further investigate its related mechanisms.Methods Twelve healthy pigs were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,each group had 6 pigs.All animals were collected urine volume each hour,continuously monitored mean arterial pressure (MAP) and renal cortical blood flow after anesthesia.IAH models were established by intraperitoneally injecting carbon dioxide in all animals,the baseline MAP,intra-abdominal pressure (IAP)and APP were obtained before IAH models established.In both groups,IAP was raised gradually from 0 mm Hg to 10 mm Hg,20 mm Hg and 30 mm Hg.In control group,IAP was maintained at 30 mm Hg for 8 hours with-out any other interventions.In experimental group,the animals were intravenously given with norepinephrine in order to get a target level of APP equal to its baseline values after 15 minutes of the onset of 30 mm Hg IAP.Changes of renal cortical blood flow,serum creatinine,TNF-α,IL-6 and urine IL-18 with the alteration of IAP in both groups were explored.Animals were then sacrificed for renal histopathology after 8 hours of the onset of 30 mm Hg IAP.Results With the increase of IAP,renal cortical blood flow in both groups was significantly decreased (P < 0.01).Compared to its baseline,serum Cr and urinary IL-18 were significantly up-regulated after the maintenance of IAP at 30 mm Hg for 6 hours in both groups (P < 0.05).However,in experimental group,which utilized a strategy of targeted APP,significant improvement of the renal cortical blood flow was observed (P < 0.01),and urinary IL-18 was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05).Renal histopathological examination found no obvious abnormalities either in control group or in experimental group.Conclusions The targeted APP treatment may have some renal protective function within the first 8 hours of IAH by improving renal cortical blood flow rather than affecting systemic inflammatory response.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics and genetic characteristics of children with ATP sensitive potassium passage (K ATP-HI). Methods:Forty-five children with genetically confirmed K ATP-HI and their families admitted to Beijing Children′s Hospital of Capital Medical University between February 2002 and December 2018 were selected as the study subjects. A detailed retrospective analysis of the patient's clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment process, disease-causing gene carrying status and later follow-up data was performed. ABCC8/KCNJ11 gene was sequenced by second-generation sequencing technology. Results:Among 45 children with K ATP-HI, 34 cases (75.6%) were neonatal onset, the first symptoms of 21 cases (46.7%) were convulsions. 39 cases had been treated with diazoxide, including 12 cases (30.8%) with good efficacy, 16 cases (41%) with poor efficacy and 11 cases with uncertain efficacy. Octreotide was further applied in 18 patients with uncertain or ineffective efficacy after diazoxide treatment, and 13 cases (72.2%) were effective, 3 cases were ineffective, and 2 cases were uncertain. 10 CHI patients who were ineffective to drug treatment or had clearly focal lesions confirmed by 18F-dopa positron emission by computed tomography ( 18F-DOPA PET) scans had undergone surgical treatment, 8 of which underwent partial pancreatectomy and blood glucose returned to normal after the operation; the other 2 cases underwent subtotal pancreatectomy and both had secondary diabetes after operation. Among 45 children with K ATP-HI, 1 case carried both ABCC8 and KCNJ11 mutations, 10 cases carried ABCC8 compound heterozygous mutations, and the remaining 34 cases carried ABCC8/KCNJ11 single genetic mutation. Among them, 21 cases had paternal inheritance, and 3 cases had maternal inheritance, 6 cases were identified with de novo mutations. Conclusions:Diazoxide treatment was ineffective for most K ATP-HI children, but octreotide had a higher effective rate. Partial pancreatectomy for focal type patients had a higher cure rate, and there was a risk of secondary diabetes after subproximal pancreatectomy, so it was very important to clarify the histological type of children before surgery. ABCC8 gene mutations and KCNJ11 gene mutations were the main pathogenic genes of K ATP-HI. Among patients carrying mutations in single ABCC8 or KCNJ11 gene mutation, K ATP-HI inherited by paternity were the majority. Some K ATP-HI children can relieve the hypoglycemia symptoms by themselves.
