Objective To evaluate the effect of LC+LCBDE and EST+LC in treating the cho-leeystolithiasis with choledocholithiasis. Methods The clinical data of 256 patients treated in our hos-pital were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 256 patients, 132 were treated by LC+LCBDE and 124 by EST combined with LC. The clinical data of the two groups was compared in operation success rate, operation time and cost, complication rate and operative hospital stay. Results There was no statisti-cal difference in the operation success rate, complication rate, operative hospital stay between 2 groups. However, there were significant differences in the operation time and cost between the 2 gruops. Conclusion There are respective indications, advantages and disadvantages in the two groups. EST+LC is the better choice for patients with a CBD<1.0 cm in diameter, stones impacted in the distal CBD, or old age. Otherwise, the better way is LC+LCBDE for patients with a CBD>1. 0 cm in diameter and multiple choledocholithiasis, especially in young and middle-aged people.

Objective: To explore the impact of knocking out wildtype p53 phosphatase 1 gene on heart function with the changes of cardiac tissue mRNA and protein expressions in experimental mice. Methods: Our research included in 2 groups: Wildtype (WT) mice group and Wip1 knockout (Wip1-KO) mice group. n=10 in each group. The heart function, ratio of heart weight to body weight (HW/BW) were examined and compared between 2 groups; cardiac tissue morphology was observed by HE staining; mRNA expressions of ANP, BNP, MCP-1 andα-SMA were determined by RT-PCR and protein expressions of Bcl-2, Bax and c-caspase3 were measured by Western blot analysis. Results: Compared with WT mice group, Wip1-KO mice group showed decreased Wip1 mRNA expression,P<0.05, decreased LVEF, LV fraction shortening and increased left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD), allP<0.05; Wip1-KO mice group had reduced BW and elevated ratio of HW/BW, bothP<0.05 even the heart weight was similar between 2 groups. There was no difference in cardiac tissue morphology between 2 groups; mRNA expressions of ANP, BNP, MCP-1 and α-SMA were similar between 2 groups,P>0.05; apoptosis related protein expressions of Bax/Bcl-2 and c-caspase3 were similar between 2 groups,P>0.05. Conclusion: Wip1 gene knockout may impair the heart function in experimental mice, while the relevant mechanism should be further investigated.

Objective To investigate the effect of reptroperitoneal laparoscopic operation on the parameters of platelet, D-dimer and thrombomodulin(TM). Methods Forty cases were divided into two groups according to the operative way, retroperitoneal laparoscopic operation (n= 20) and open operation (n=20). Blood samples were taken preoperatively and at the end of the surgery. The following parameters were measured and compared within each group and between groups: platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distributionwidth(PDW), D-dimer, TM. ResultsThere were no significant differences for the PLT, PDW, MPV, TM and D-dimer between before and after operation in each group. There was no difference between 2 groups either for all these indicators.No patients from either group suffered thrombosis or abnormal bleeding as a pastoperative complication. Conclusion Compared with the conventional operation, retroperitoneal laparoscopic operation dioesd not induce more change on parameters of platelet, D-dimer and TM.

AIM: To discuss the effects of phytoestrogenic-genistein on cathepsin K (CK) expression stimulated by interleukin-1α (IL-1α) in osteoclast-like cells (OCLs) . METHODS: The OCLs were isolated from tissue of human giant cell tumor of bone (GCT) . The cells treated with reagents were divided into 7 groups including control (treated with phenol red-free-DMEM), vehicle (treated with 1.2 nmol· L-1 IL- 1α), 10-10-10-6genistein, genistein+ ICI 182.780, and 17[β-estrodiol (17β-E2) group. The cells were treated with 1.2 nmol· L-1IL-1α after pre-treated with genistein or 17β-E2 for 48 h (excluded the control group) . Expression of CK wasdetermined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot in OCLs stimulated by IL-1α in the presence of genistein or 17[β-E2. RESULTS: The obvious increase of expression of CK by IL1α in vehicle group was noted in comparing with control group (P < 0.01 ) . Genistein down-regulated CK gene expression stimulated by IL-1α at the transcription level in a dose-dependent manner (r = 0.68, P < 0.01 ) .Genistein down-regulated CK protein expression stimulated by IL-1α also in a dose-dependent manner (r = 0.61,P < 0.01 ). The effects of genistein were abrogated partly after treatment with the estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182.780. CONCLUSION: Genistein inhibits CK expression stimulated by IL-1α partly through estrogen receptor in OCLs.
