Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2001;22(2):85-87
Objective To study the effect of the combined use of aminoguanidine (AG) and cyclosporine A (CsA) on acute rejection following cardiac allograft. Methods Except the control group, all other three groups were respectively treated by AG 600mg/kg every day subcutaneously 0 to 7 days after transplantation, low-dose CsA 2mg/kg every day i.m 0 to 7 days after transplantation, and low-dose CsA plus AG. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and nitric oxide (NO) production during acute allograft rejection were detected at 4th day after operation, and the graft survival was observed.Results Compared with the control group, iNOS expression and NO production were significantly inhibited in the AG-treated group (P<0.05),the progression of acute rejection was slightly attenuated and allografted heart survival prolonged. The inhibitory effects of iNOS activity and NO production in the recipients receiving the combined treatment of low-dose CsA plus AG were higher than those receiving low-dose CsA alone. Compared with the low-dose CsA group, low-dose CsA plus AG could significantly reduce the histologic grade of acute rejection (P<0.01) and prolong the graft survival (P<0.05). Conclusion The combined use of low-dose CsA and AG could synergistically suppress iNOS activity and NO production, and significantly prolong allografted heart survival.
2.The application of 3D printed model for precision medicine in hepatobiliary surgery
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2016;22(9):645-648
The precise surgical treatment for hepatobiliary diseases has been a challenging topic in hepatobiliary surgery for a long time.A perfect preoperative plan can help the surgeon make R0 resection of the lesion and preserve the healthy tissue as much as possible.In addition,all of these depend on the application of different imaging modalities,especially three-dimensional reconstruction technique.But some limitations of 3D reconstruction should be noted:different surgeons may have different views for one object because of different observation points;or it cannot be used for intraoperative re-orientation and so on.3D printed model can overcome some disadvantages of 3D reconstruction.This paper reviewed related literature that reported the usage of 3D printed model in hepatobiliary surgery.

Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2015;21(9):612-615
Objective To study the surgical treatment and the related risk factors of cholangioenterostomy anastomotic stenosis.Methods We retrospectively analysed the clinical data of 41 patients who underwent surgical treatment for cholangioenterostomy anastomotic stenosis in the PLA General Hospital from January 1,2008 to November 30,2014.Results All patients' clinical symptoms were alleviated and they were discharged home.No one died perioperatively.Anastomotic restenosis happened in 5 patients.Conclusions Reoperation for cholangioenterostomy anastomotic stenosis was difficult.The surgeon should make the anastomosis as large as possible to decrease the risk of restenosis.A T tube should be used when necessary.

ObjectiveTo determine the possibility of r eal-time perfusion imaging in the quantitative evaluation of myocardial perfusion in various segments of left ventricle. MethodsImages of ten anesthetized dogs were obtained at the mid-papillary muscle short-axis view with a real-time imaging system. Mechanical index (MI) was adjusted to 0.1 , 0.2 and 0.4 respectively, and frame rate was set at 20 Hz. Optison was infused intravenously at a rate of 0.1 , 0.2 and 0.5 ml/min, respectively. Images were recorded for 150 real-time frames commencing immediately after a couple of Doppler bursts. Myocardial opacification was assessed both visually and quantitatively for six segments of left ventricle (antero- and infero-septum, inferior, posterior, lateral and anterior wall). Myocardial signal intensity versus real-time frame curves were made and fitted to an exponential function: Y=A(1-e -?t ). ResultsUsing low MI (MI= 0.1 or 0.2 ) and with continuously infusion of Optison at a rate of 0.2 or 0.5 ml/min, real-time imaging resulted in sufficient myocardial opacification and left ventricular endocardial border definition, and displayed myocardial thickening and wall motion simultaneously. ConclusionsReal-time imaging has a potential in the quantitative assessment of myocardial perfusion, and allows simultaneous assessment of perfusion and myocardial function.

Objective To study the effects of angiogenesis inhibitor SU5416 on the growth and metastasis of pancreatic cancer in SD rat model. Methods Dimethylbenzanthracine (9 mg) (DMBA),was implanted into the parenchyma of Sprague Dawley rat pancreas to induce pancreatic cancer. Rats with established pancreatic carcinoma were randomly divided into 4 groups (15 rats each) to receive every the other day for consecutive 13 weeks before sacrifice peritoneal cavity injection of: Normal saline (control),5-fluorouracil 30 mg?kg -1 (5-Fu group),SU5416 16 mg?kg -1 (SU5416 group),and both 5-Fu and SU5416(combined treatment group). Tumor weight,inhibition rates,intratumoral microvessel density (MVD),apoptotic index (AI) and metastasis were evaluated. Results Tumor weight was (1.15?0.21) g,(0.68?0.42) g,(0.31?0.11) g,(0.19?0.06) g respectively;the inhibition rate was 0,48%,80%,85% respectively;the intratumoral microvessel density (MVD) was (12.3?3.2),(11.4?3.8),(2.1?1.5),(1.8?1.1) respectively;The apoptotic index (AI) was (2.64?1.86)%,(5.71?3.14)%,(13.21?4.26)%,(21.12?7.15)% respectively. Peritoneal metastasis was significantly less severe in 5-Fu group,SU5416 group and combined group than that in control group(83% versus 46%,25% and 0) ( P
