Objective To evaluate extended vs standard left lateral lobectomy for left lateral lobe hepatolithiasis.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 110 patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatolithiasis limited to left lateral lobe of the liver.Results 42 patients received left lateral lobectomy, 68 patients did left hemihepatectomy.There were no marked difference between the two groups in the operation time, introperation or postoperation blood loss, bile leak and bleeding on the hepatic cut surface, liver function and the postoperative hospital stay.The incidence of residual and recurrent stones was 14.3％ and 11.9％ in left lateral lobectimy group and 0％, 0％ in left hemihepatectomy group.Conclusion Left hemihepatectomy for left lateral lobe hepatolithiasis is a safe and effective procedure.

Objective To evaluate effects and possible mechanisms of ileal transposition on spontaneous non-obese type 2 diabetic GK rats.Methods 20 GK rats were randomly divided into two groups:ileal transposition group and sham operation group (n =10).We observed and determined the weight change,daily average food consumption and FBG (fasting blood-glucose) level of rats before the operation (0 weeks) and 1,4,8,16 and 24 weeks after the surgery.Glucose tolerance test (GTT) was carried out and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) concentration measured before the operation (0 weeks) and 4,8,16 and 24 weeks after the surgery and the fasting insulin concentration before the surgery (0 weeks)and 4,24 weeks after the surgery measured,and the indicator of HOMA-IR calculated.Results There was no significant difference in the operating time between the two groups [(87 ± 8) min vs.(84 ± 7)min],P ＞ 0.05.Compared with those before surgery,body weight and food consumption of the two groups of rats decreased significantly a week after surgery (P ＜ 0.05),and then the body weight and food consumption of the two groups of rats all gradually increased,but the difference of the two groups of rats has no statistical significance 1-24 weeks after surgery (P ＞ 0.05).The FBG of the two groups of rats a week after surgery [ileal transposition group (6.1 ± 0.6) mmol/L,sham operation group (6.2 ± 0.8) mmol/L]decreased significantly compared with that before surgery [(7.0 ± 0.5) mmol/L and (6.9 ± 0.5) mmol/L](P ＜ 0.05),and then FBG of the two groups of rats all rose again.The FBG of the rats in surgery group decreased slowly from 8 to 24 weeks after surgery,while the FBG of the rats in the sham surgery group maintained the preoperative level,and the differences of the FBG of the two groups all have statistical significance 8-24 weeks after surgery (P ＜ 0.05).Four weeks after surgery,OGTT of the ileal transposition group significantly improved (P ＜ 0.01).24 weeks after surgery,fasting insulin levels of the ileal transposition group were lower [(0.26 ± 0.08) ng/mL vs.(0.42 ± 0.09) ng/ml],P ＜ 0.05.Compared with the sham surgery group,and HOMA-IR was lower (1.1 ± 0.4) vs.(2.6 ± 0.4),P ＜ 0.05.Four weeks after surgery,oral glucose-stimulated peak (30 min) levels of blood GLP-1 increased markedly in operation groups after surgery (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Ileal transposition is effective for the treatment of non-obese T2DM rats,and the control of blood glucose does not depend on the reduction of body weight and food comsumption,and the high secretion of GLP-1 after ileal interposition seem to be helpful in diabetes control.

Objective To achieve arabinose-controlled expression of HtrA strain and detect the expression of HtrA protein.Methods Arabinose promoter with htrA100 was amplified from pACD-htrA vector by PCR and cloned into pGP704 vector.Then, Shigella flexneri 2a strain 301 was transferred with the recombinant plasmid pGD-htrA and an AraC-expression vector .The expressions of HtrA in whole-cell and periplasmic space were detected by Western blotting .Results The suicide plasmid-mediated homologous recombinant vector and the inducible HtrA expression strain were successfully constructed.Without arabinose,HtrA protein was hardly detected ,but in the presense of arabinose , HtrA protein could be detected in whole-cell lysate and in periplasmic space lysate by Western blot .Conclusion Homologous recombination using suicide plasmid can significantly knock down the expression of HtrA protein .After being induced with arabinose , HtrA protein can be expressed normally .

Objective To compare the separation effects of protein samples extracted by two different methods with two -dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) .Methods Ultrasonic disruption and glass-beads grounding were used to prepare protein samples of Gram-negative bacteria , Gram-positive bacteria and animal tissues .The actual results of the two sample preparation methods were compared by 2-DE.Results The 2-DE maps of samples extracted by the two methods were obtained.Conclusion The 2-DE maps of glass-beads grounding samples are better than those of ultrasonic disruption thanks to their lower backgrounds , which are beneficial for further image analyses .

Objective To explore the potential pathogenesis of Yersinia pestis and provide new clues for vaccine development through comparative proteomic analysis of wild-type and pCD1 cured strain of Yersinia pestis 201.Methods Differentially expressed proteins at 26℃ and 37℃ were separated and identified using two-dimensional electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry .Results A total of 24 differently expressed proteins were successfully identified from the samples of bacteria grown at 26℃ and 25 proteins at 37℃.Among these, 7 proteins were encoded by pCD 1 plasmid. Conclusion Through comparative proteomic research, we have found that the abundance of several proteins can be dramatically changed when the large plasmid pCD 1 is missing,suggesting that the plasmid can regulate the expression of many genes located in the chromosome .

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of Zhu's trocar placement (ZTP) in laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) in the treatment of complicated appendicitis.

METHODSClinical data of 139 complicated appendicitis patients undergoing LA at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from June 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. ZTP-LA group comprised 59 cases and its procedure was as follows: 10 mm umbilical trocar was used as lens port; 12 mm trocar at crossing point of umbilical hole horizontal line and right midclavicular line was used as main operating port; 5 mm trocar at the crossing point of horizontal line 0-3 cm below umbilicus and right anterior axillary line was used as assist operating port with the drainage function for Douglas fossa and right iliac fossa; The operator and the assistant stood on the right side and the left side of the patient respectively. Traditional three-port group comprised 80 cases (8 cases converted to laparotomy, 72 cases enrolled finally) and its procedure was as follows: 10 mm lens port below umbilicus; 10-12 mm main operating port at lateral border of left lower rectus abdominis; 5 mm assist operating port above pubis; The operator and the assistant stood on left side of the patient. The operative time, time to oral semi-fluid, postoperative hospital stay, cost during hospitalization, and postoperative morbidity of complication were compared between two groups.

RESULTSBaseline data such as gender, age, WBC count, percentage of leukocyte, pathological finding and type were not significantly different between two groups(all P>0.05). The conversion rate in ZTP-LA was significantly lower than that in traditional three-port group [0%(0/59) vs. 10.0%(8/80),χ²=4.552,P=0.033]. Compared with traditional three-port group, ZTP-LA group showed shorter operative time [(47.8±20.1) minutes vs. (66.0±27.3) minutes, t=4.383,P<0.001], shorter time to oral semi-fluid [(35.0±20.7) hours vs. (59.3±32.8) hours, t=5.158,P<0.001], shorter postoperative hospital stay [(4.1±1.6) days vs. (5.5±2.2) days, t=4.162, P<0.001], lower postoperative morbidity of complication [3.4% (2/59) vs. 18.1%(13/72), χ²=6.879, P=0.009], lower incidence of postoperative intra-abdominal abscess [0%(0/59) vs. 11.1%(8/72), χ²=5.179, P=0.023], lower incidence of paralytic ileus [1.7%(1/59) vs. 12.5%(9/72), χ²=3.946, P=0.047] and less cost during hospitalization[(13 585±2909) yuan vs.(16 861±5334) yuan, t=4.463, P<0.001].

CONCLUSIONZTP-LA is safe, feasible and effective with advantages of faster recovery and less cost in the treatment of complicated appendicitis.
