Objective:To investigate the significance of periodontal treatment on the levels of MMP-3 and IFN-γin the serum of patients with oral lichen planus(OLP) and chronic periodontitis(CP) before and after treatment.Methods:60 patients with erosion OLP and CP were divided into 2 groups randomly (n =30).The patients in experimental group received basic periodontal treatment combined with drug therapy,those in control group received drug therapy only.Before and after treatment the periodontal indexes of PD,AL,BI and PLI were measured in the experimental group,the levels of MMP-3 and IFN-γ in serum were tested by ELISA in the 2 groups,the differences of the data between 2 groups were statistically analysed.Results:After treatment the periodontol indexes were decreased in the experimental group(P ＜ 0.05),the serum MMP-3 and IFN-γ levels were lower than those before treatment in 2 groups(P＜0.05),and the decline of MMP-3 and IFN-γ in experimental group was more obvious than those in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Periodontal initial therapy has positive influence on the treatment of OLP and can reduce the level of inflammation.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancers worldwide, which ranks as the second of cancer-related death. Each year, more than half of the new and death cases occur in China. Vascular invasion is one of the important biological characteristics of HCC. HCC with portal vein tumor thrombus is closely related to the prognosis of patients, but there is no consensus on the best treatment method.Based on domestic and foreign literatures, the authors discuss the current status and progress of treatment for HCC with portal vein tumor thrombus, in order to explore the optimal treatment.

Objective To study the method and effect of exposure the recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN) in preventing the damage of RLN in thyroid surgery. Methods One thousand and ten sides total and(or) subtotal thyroidectomies were operated on 574 cases with RLN exposure in our hospital in recent 9 years. Results The RLN injury rate was 0.3% in this series.Of them, permanent RLN injury occurred in 2 cases and temporary injury in 1. Conclusions The exposure of RLN can greatly decrease the nerve injure in thyroid surgery, especially in total lobectomy. The dissection of RLN must followed the principle of RLN exposure . RLN should be dissected around the inferior thyroid artery first, if the RLN is difficult to be found,then dissecting around the thyroid cartilage, or finding the cervical vagus inside of carotid sheath to find RLN should be done.

ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of laparoscopic and open left lobectomy.MethodsThe clinical data of 92 patients who received left lobectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from May 2010 to June 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Of the 92 patients,42 received laparoscopic left lobectomy (laparoscopic group ) and 50 received open left lobectomy (open group ). The advantages and disadvantages between laparoscopic and open left lobectomy were compared. All data were analyzed using the t test,chi-square test or by calculating the Fisher exact probability.ResultsTwenty-nine patients received left lateral lobectomy and 13 patients received left hemihepatectomy in the laparoscopic group. One patient was converted to the open group becaused of the injury of the middle hepatic vein.Thirty-three patients nnderwent left lateral lobectomy and 17 underwent left hemihepatectomy in the open group.The tumor-free resection margin of the laparoscopic group was ( 1.6 ± 0.6 ) cm,which was significantly longer than ( 1.2 ± 0.4 ) cm of the open group (t=3.81,P＜0.05).The volume of operative blood loss of the laparoscopic group was (158 ±89)ml,which was significantly smaller than (292 ± 172)ml of the open group (t =4.56,P ＜ 0.05 ).The time of postoperative pain control,time to bowel function recovery and duration of hospital stay were ( 1.2 ± 0.3 )days,(23 ± 4)hours,( 7.5 ± 2.8 ) days in the laparoscopic group,which were significantly shorter than ( 2.0 ± 1.1 ) days,(4.9 ± 7 ) hours,( 11.3 ± 4.2 ) days in the open group,respectively ( t =4.57,21.31,5.00,P ＜ 0.05 ).The levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) at postoperative day 1 were increased,while the increase of AST and ALT in the open group were greater than that in the laparoscopic group (t =6.73,5.03,P ＜0.05).The postoperative prothrombin time in the open group was significantly longer than that before operation (t =2.32,P ＜ 0.05 ).The incidence of postoperative complications and total hospital costs were 7％ (3/41) and (2.5 ±0.7) ×104 yuan in the laparoscopic group,which were lower than 8％ (4/50) and (2.6 ±0.6) × 104 yuan in the open group,but no significant difference was observed (t =0.74,P ＞0.05).One patient in the open group died of multi-organ dysfunction syndrome caused by acute hepatic failure.ConclusionLaparoscopic left lobectomy is safe and effective,and it has the advantages of small trauma,quick recovery of patients and significant overall efficacy when compared with open left lobectomy.

objectlve To investigate the efficacy of continuous low-dose fluorouracil with cetuximab for antiangiogenic effect on colon carcinoma xenograft,and test its antitumor effect and toxicity.Methods Balb/c mice bearing CT-26 colon carcinoma xenograft were randomly divided into five groups,receiving low-dose metronomic(LDM)fluorouracil,maximum tolerated dose(MTD)fluorouracil,cetuximab,LDM fluorouracil with cetuximab therapy and saline respectively.Tumor growth,weight loss,peripheral white blood cell counts and survival of mice were monitoted.At the end of experiment,tumors were resected for tumor microvascular density(MVD)by immunofluorescence staining. Results Tumor growth inhibition was found in mice receiving LDM fluorouracil therapy and combined therapy,without significant body weight loss or leukopenia,and the survival of mice was remarkably prolonged,compared with mice receiving MTD fluorouracil or cetuximab therapy,and the antitumor effects of the combined therapy was stronger than that of the fluorouracil LDM therapy.LDM treatment and combine treatment led to statistically significant(P＜0.05)55%and 71%reduction in tumor growth,as well as 73%and 77% reduction in tumor microvessel density compared with the control respectively.Additonally,tunnel staining shows no significant difference between these treatment groups. Conclusion Continuous low-dose regimen of fluorouracil with cetuximab can significantly increase the therapeutic activity with decreased toxicity and prolonged animal survival bearing implanted colon cancer.

Objective　To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of acute rejection of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Methods　From July 1999 to April 2000, two piggyback liver transplantations were performed on two patients with Wilson's disease. Results　Cyclosporine A, azathioprine and methylprednisolone were the baseline immunosuppression management. Acute rejection occured 5 times in the 2 patients. The correct diagnosis was obtained through clinical inspection, liver function test and biopsy. The rejections were controlled by intensive steriod therapy plus OKT3 or FK506. Conclusions　Clinical inspection and liver function test can suggest the episode of acute rejection in time. Hepatic biopsy is the key point for diagnosis of acute rejecton, Reasonable use of immunosppression is critical for the treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of antisense oligonucleofide(PCNA ASON)and vascuiar endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene traneduction on restenosis after balloon angiopasty.Memods chinese rabbits were randomly divided into control group(I),PCNA ASON(II),VEGF only (Ⅲ),PCNA ASON+VEGF(Ⅳ)groups.Each group included 7 rabbits.Restenosis wasevaluated by pathology immunohistochemistry and Western-blotting for the expression of PCNA,and the depth and area oftunica media and tunicca intima were measured. Results All rabbits experienced restenosis on different severities,especially in control group.Lesions were less severe in PCNA ASON and VEGF groups than in controls.The proliferation of smooth muscle and intima significantly ameliorated in PCNA ASON and VEGF combination group that in PCNA ASON or VEGF groups(P<0.01).But the difference between the PCNA ASON and VEGF group was not significant(P>0.7). Conclusion PCNA ASON and VEGF gene transductionn are effective in preventing restenosis after balloon angioplasty caused vessel injury in rabbits.
