Objective To investigate the changes of fractalkine (FKN) in rat model of acute liver failure (ALF) and the role of FKN in liver inflammatory injury.Methods SD rats were divided into tWO groups:6 in normal group and 36 in model group.D-galactosamine(D-Gal) was used to induce ALF in model group.The sera and hepatic tissue samples were collected at 12,24,48,72,120 andl68 h.After D-Gal injection.FKN mRNA and nuclear factor(NF)-kB mRNA in hepatic tissue samples were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) at 12 h were(208.3±43.5)U/L and (375.2±117.3)lJ/L,respectively,which were both significantly higher than those in normal group[(31.8±2.9)U/L and (90.8±3.1)U/L](t=-9.912 and-5.935,respectively,both P<0.01);the levels of ALT and AST peaked at 72 h after D-Gal injection.The levels of FKN mRNA(O.086±0.009)in model group at 12 h were significantly higher than those (O.044±0.009) in normal group(t=-7.999.P<0.01),and peaked at 72 h (O.333±0.033),then decreased obviously at 120 h. The levels of NF-KB mRNA in the liver of normal rats were very little;and the levels in model group were increased gradually over time,then peaked at 72 h (O.583±0.i01,t=-12.607,P<0.01).FKN mRNA and NF0kB mRNA were positively correlated (r=0.760,P<0.01).Conclusion The FKN expression may play all important role in liver inflammatory injury in rat model of acute liver failure, which could provide a new approach for ALF therapy.

Objective To evaluate the treatment effect of acute liver failure(ALF) by xeno-transplantation of co-microencapsulated Sertoli cells and hepatocytes and the intraperitoneal immune privilege effects of Sertoli cells on hepatocytes. Methods ALF rats were induced by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactosamine and, thereafter, were treated with physical saline, free hepatocytes, microencapsulated hepatocytes, or co-microencapsulated Sertoli cells and hepatocytes (CMSH), respectively. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total bilirubin (TBil) were detected in rats' blood samples from various groups. Expression of Smac/Diablo and caspase-3 were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Fifteen rats in each group were used for survival rate analysis. The intraperitoneal microencapsules were observed and lymphocytes in ascites were counted. The data were analyzed by multi-factor or single factor analysis of variance and the comparison between groups was done by t test. Results In CMSH treatment group, ALT level decreased to (533.7 ± 76.5) U/L, AST level decreased to (381.2 5± 46.7) U/L after 48 h. TBil level reduced to (7.36 ± 2.18) μmol/L after 72 h. Albumin level increased to (28.4±2.5) g/L after 48 h. All these values were significantly different from those in other groups (F=10.7,6.5,12.2,8.4;P＜0.05). The expression levels of Smae/Diablo and caspase-3 mRNA at 48 h and 72 h were lower in CMSH group than in other groups (F=3.7,4.8,3.6,4.2; P＜0.05). Survival rates in microencapsulated hepatocytes group and CMSH group were similar while both of them were higher than other groups. Microencapsules neither in microencapsulated hepatocytes group nor in CMSH group were adhered to intraperitoneal mucosa. Lymphocyte counts in ascites of CMSH group were lower than those in microencapsulated hepatocytes group (t= 4.21, P＜0. 05). Conclusions Intraperitoneal transplantation with CMSH is a promising approach for ALF treatment. Furthermore, Sertoli cells can help reduce lymphocytes' aggregation caused by encapsulated hepatocytes in ascites.

To be a reference to industrial production of Chinese materia medica (CMM) and modernization of CMM and to summarize several relevant articles and consulte some publications about common key technologies in CMM production. Since 2000, some new technologies have been applied to CMM industrial production, such as SFE, macroporous resin extraction, MST, high-speed centrifugal, ultrasonic extraction, microwave extraction, HSCCC, etc. There are still some problems and difficulties lying in its application to industry. But with the innovation and further research of these new technologies, the application of these technologies to CMM preparation and production may help to expedite the modernization and industrial production of CMM. These technologies will be applied to CMM industrial production with making it more and more vigorous.

Prostate cancer is a common malignancy in elderly men. Assessment of life expectancy is crucial for the treatment decision. However, accurate evaluation of individual life expectancy is still a challenge for us. By now, the life expectancy assessment methods mainly include query life table, online prediction questionnaire, gait speed monitoring, considering complications, and comprehensive prediction model. The first three evaluation methods are more convenient and have strong clinical feasibility. Complication calculation and comprehensive model are less convenient but may improve the accuracy of life expectancy prediction. The application of comprehensive prediction model is recommended at present. The prediction methods need further optimization and verification.

This article was aimed to explain the distribution of syndrome and study the change of pathogenesis in patients of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk-window (AECOPD-RW) based on clini-cal investigation. The data of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome of patients diagnosed as AECOPD into AECOPD-RW were collected from 8 hospitals. The database was established. Data was analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software. The results showed that among 15 basic syndromes, the syndrome of lung-qi deficiency was with the high-est frequency, which was followed by the syndrome of kidney-qi deficiency and syndrome of phlegm-dampness. A-mong 14 combined syndromes, the syndrome of lung-kidney qi deficiency and the syndrome of phlegm-dampness ac-cumulated in the lung were with the highest frequency. The common syndromes of AECOPD-RW were the syndrome of lung-kidney qi deficiency combined with the syndrome of phlegm-dampness accumulated in the lung, the syn-drome of lung-kidney qi deficiency, the syndrome of lung-spleen qi deficiency combined with the syndrome of phlegm-dampness accumulated in the lung, the syndrome of lung-spleen qi deficiency, the syndrome of lung-kidney qi-yin deficiency combined with the syndrome of phlegm-dampness accumulated in the lung, the syndrome of lung-kidney qi-yin deficiency, the syndrome of lung-kidney qi deficiency combined with the syndrome of phlegm-stasis accumulated in the lung, and the syndrome of lung-kidney qi-yin deficiency combined with the syndrome of phlegm-stasis accumulated in the lung. It was concluded that the main common syndromes of AECOPD-RW was the mixture of deficiency and excess. There was relatively less pure deficiency and excess syndrome.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features of adolescent mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney ( MESTK) and improve recognization of this rare disease. Methods Clinicopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of MESTK occured in 17-year-old girl were studied. Reviewed the related literatures, clinical and pathological characteristics of adoles-cent MESTK were analysed comprehensively. Results Congenital perineal spill was the main clinical manifestations. Microscopically, the tumor showed nodules and was composed of a mixture of epithelial and stromal elements. Glands were lined with columnar or cilia-ted columnar cells. Stromal cells surrounding glands seemed like ovaries and away from glands seemed like the differentiation of smooth muscle. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the epithelial cells were positive for CK7 and vimentin. Stromal cells expressed desmin, smooth muscle actin ( SMA) , ER and PR. It was noteworthy that stromal cells away from glands expressed desmin. Conclu-sions As a kind of rare benign neoplasm of kidney, MESTK often occurs in perimenopausal women. But MESTK can also occur in ad-olescence, and has nothing to do with the use of hormone. Therefore, the renal tumor occurred in teenagers with biphasic differentiation should be differentiated from MESTK.

Objective:To introduce a new method of root reconstruction for proximal repair of acute type A aortic dissection, and to retrospectively analyze its short-term efficacy.Methods:From January 2018 to October 2019, a total of 455 patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection received surgical treatment. Among them, 343 patients underwent double-jacket-wrapping(DJW) root reinforcement(11 patients underwent leaflet suspension), 81 patients underwent Bentall surgery, 15 Wheat operations, 12 untreated roots, and 4 David operations. Compared 343 patients who underwent double-jacket-wrapping root reconstruction and 81 patients who underwent Bentall surgery. The perioperative indicators and short-term survival of the two groups were compared.Results:No patients died intraoperatively. The 30-day mortality rate in the DJW group and the Bentall group were 10.5% and 7.4%, respectively( P=0.403); cardiopulmonary bypass time were(218.8±68.4) min and(240.2 ± 59.8), P=0.011; aortic clamp time were(150.6 ± 47.9) min and(181.3 ±45.6)min, P=0.000. There was no difference between the operation time and the deep hypothermia circulatory time between the two groups. The mean follow-up was(11.7±6.4) months. Seven and two follow-up deaths occurred in the DJW group and the Bentall group, respectively, and the cause of death was not related to the aortic root. The degree of aortic regurgitation after DJW was 0.7±0.5, which was significantly lower than that before surgery( P=0.000). Conclusion:Compared with Bentall surgery, DJW method is a safe and effective method for the repair of acute type A aortic dissection roots, which can obtain good perioperative and early curative effects.
