Objective: To study the possibility of liposomes to ta rget hepatocytes af ter being linked with asialofetuin(AF). Methods: The biodistribu tions in differen t cells in liver as well as in blood, in various organs such as heart, spleen, l ung and kidney of mice, of traditional sterically stabilized liposomes(SSL) , AF-linked normal liposomes(AF-NL) and AF-linked sterically stabilized lipos ome s(AF-SSL) were studied by radioisotopic labeling. Results: The half-live s of SSL, AF-NL and AF-SSL were 14.44, 4.73 and 11.49 h， respectively. The di strib ution of liposomes in liver was AF-NL>AF-SSL>SSL. There was significant differenc e among these three formulations. In hepatocytes and non-hepatocytes, the conce ntr ations of the liposomes were both in line with the sequence AF-NL>AF-SSL>SSL( P <0.05). However, the ra tios of the concentrations in hepatocytes to that of non-hepatocytes were AF-N L≈AF -SSLSSL( P <0.05). Conclusion: After being labeled with asi alofetuin, liposomes can target hepatocytes very we ll， whether in long-circulation or not.

Objective To investigate the influence factors of central venous catheter related infections (CVC-RI) in postoperative patients with gastric carcinoma treated with parenteral nutrition,in order to provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment.Methods Using the retrospective study method,150 patients who treated with parenteral nutrition after operation of gastric carcinoma from December 2013 to March 2014 were selected.Information including age,sex,anamnesis,catheter indwelling time,infusion rate of nutrient solution,and so on were collected.Patients with central venous catheter related infections were set as infection group,patients without infection as the control group,and the group logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the collected data.Results 21 patients in infection group had CVC-RI,and the incidence was 14.00％ (21/150),while 129 patients in control group had CVC-RI.Univariate analysis showed there was significant difference between infection group and control group in age,anamnesis,catheter indwelling time and infusion rate of nutrient solution (x2=17.126,5.447,12.795,7.973,P＜0.05),however there was no significant difference in sex,health insurance,the success rate of catheterization and whether glutamine was in nutrient solution (P＞0.05);the group logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=15.927,95％CI 3.305-76.756,P＜0.05)and catheter indwelling time (OR=3.511,95％CI 1.028-11.992,P＜0.05) were independent risk factors for CVC-RI,however infusion rate of nutrient solution (OR=0.140,95％CI 0.033-0.597,P＜0.05) was a protective factor.Conclusions For the postoperative patients with gastric carcinoma treated with parenteral nutrition,CVC-RI is closely related to age,catheter indwelling time and infusion rate of nutrient solution.So reducing catheter indwelling time,restoring the enteral nutrition under condition permission as so on as possible can reduce infection of elderly patients.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of preoperative percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) on postoperative outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy.MethodsThe clinical data of 115 patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy between 2001 and 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.The diagnosis of periampullary cancer or cancer of the pancreatic head was confirmed histologically.The preoperative total bilirubin level was more than 100 μmol/L and there was no concomitant cholangitis.Forty-two patients underwent PTBD (PTBD group),and 73 were not drained (early operation group).The following parameters were analyzed:wound infection,intra-abdominal abscess,intra-abdominal or gastrointestinal bleeding,biliary or pancreatic leakage,gastroparesis,morbidity and mortality.The length of hospital stay and cost were also assessed.ResultsThe perioperative mortality and morbidity were 2.38％/54.76％ in the PTBD group and 2.74％/50.68％ in the early operative group,respectively.There were no significantly differences between these two groups.Similar results were obtained in biliary leak,pancreatic leak,intra-abdominal infection,wound infection and gastroparesis.The length of hospital stay and cost were significantly less in the early operation group than the PTBD group.ConclusionsPTBD had no beneficial effects on postoperative outcomes following pancreaticoduodenectomy.For distal biliary obstruction,PTBD should not be carried out routinely.

Objective To investigate the value of Habib 4X in hepatic resection. Methods The clinical outcome of 21 patients with liver disease who received liver resection at the Tianjin Third Central Hospital from November 2009 to April 2010 were retrospectively evaluated. All the operations were carried out by using Habib 4X. Results All patients received hepatectomy, including right hepatectomy in three patients, left hepatectomy in one patient, multiple segmentectomy in nine patients, single segmentectomy in seven patients and partial liver resection in one patient. All tumors were reseeted completely. The mean operation time was (50±25) minutes and the mean blood loss was(129±117)ml. No patient was transferred to ICU. Three patients were complicated with bile leakage, one with lymphatic leakage and four with pleural effusion, and they were cured by non-surgical treatment. There were no patients with postoperative hemorrhage, incision infection or hepatic failure. No mortality was observed. The mean postoperative hospital stay was(19±14)days. Conclusions Radiofrequency energy was applied along the margins of the tumor to create zones of necrosis before resection with a scalpel, offering hepatobiliary surgeons an additional method for performing liver resections with minimal blood loss, low morbidity and mortality rates. As for malignant tumors, minor or major liver resection assisted by Habib 4X is safe, and it can reduce the chance of positive incisal margin.

Objective To analyze the features of clinical diagnosis and treatment of duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST).Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 5 cases of duodenal GIST treated in our hospital between April 2002 and May 2009.Results The duodenal GIST was mainly located in the 2nd(3/5)and 3rd portion of duodenum(2/5).Clinical diagnosis of the disease mainly depended on barium meal examination, gastrointestinal endoscopy, and CT scanning.Two patients were treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy, 1 with segmental duodenectomy and 2 with local resection.After operation, 2 patients had recurrence and 1 of them underwent adjuvant therapy with Gleevec.Conclusion Surgical resection is the only effective therapeutic method for duodenal GIST.Various surgical procedures are mainly determined by the location and size of the tumors.For patients with a high degree of pathologic grade, adjuvant therapy with Gleevec is necessary.

Objective To study the value of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE)in combination with portal vein chemotherapy (PVC) after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma to prolong survival. Methods From January 2000 to July 2007, 168 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) underwent tumor resection in our hospital. After operation, TACE in combination with PVC was performed in 48 patients (combined group), TACE alone in 26 (TACE group), PVC alone in 50 (PVC group) and none of the above in 44 (control group). All the patients were followed up for 17-96 months. The 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were compared among the 4 groups. Results Accumulative 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were higher in the combined and TACE groups than in PVC and control groups. Conclusion After resection of HCC, combined use of TACE and PVC is the same as TACE in prolonging patient survival. However, it is better than PVC alone and non-surgical procedure.

This article reviewed the research progress in IBS-D liver and spleen deficiency syndrome in recent years, discussed the establishment of IBS-D liver stagnation and spleen deficiency animal model and research ideas for the treatment of IBS-D, and provided references for mechanism research of TCM treatment for IBS-D and research and development of new medicine.

In this paper, we address the preparation of the EPC and HEPC sterically stabilized doxorubicin liposomes and report the data collected from further studies on pharmacokinetics in blood for choosing a better carrier in delivering the drugs. The pharmacokinetics of EPC and HEPC sterically stabilized liposomes (EPC-SSL, and HEPC-SSL) in Wistar rats were investigated by HPLC. The results showed that the mean residence time of HEPC-SSL in blood is 23.3 h, while that of EPC-SSL is 12.0 h. In conclusion, HEPC-SSL is a better carrier in delivering the drugs to the extravascular sites when compared with EPC-SSL.

This article presents the design of a bioreactor using hollow fiber membrane and, isolated hepatocytes of suckling pigs, and the experimental study of its efficacy in vitro. Liver cells were harvested from suckling pigs with collagenase perfusion in situ, and parenchymal and non-parenchymal hepatocytes were cocultured in a hollow fiber module which was rotated sporadically. Bioartificial liver(BAL) was developed using this bioreactor,and the BAL was perfused with ascites of patients suffering from liver cirrhosis. The yield of viable hepatocytes was (6.29 +/- 0.37) x 10(8) cells, and cell viability was greater than 84%. Hepatocytes aggregated to multi-cells spheroids after being rotated every thirty minutes for three hours. The hepatocytes in the bioreactor could synthesize urea. Total billirubin was decreased, and AST was significantly increased in the group of bioreactor, as compared with that in the control group. Glucose decreased in the group of bioreactor,whereas there was no significant descent in the control group; and the difference between the two groups was significant. The above results demonstrate that this bioreactor is effective for decreasing total bilirubin and glucose.
