We used MTT assay to test the cellular cytotoxicity ( NK, LAK, CTL, Macrophage), cytokine activities ( 1L-1, 1L-2, 1L-6, TNF), proliferation of lymphocytes and chemosensitivity of tumor cells, and compared it with radioactive isotope assay. The results showed that the MTT assay may be used to test the cellular cytotoxicity, cytokine ac-tivity, proliferation of lymphocytes and chemosensitivity of tumor cells. We think it is a simple, rapid, economic and safety method.

Objective To explore the diameter change of the extrahepatic bile duct before and after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods From Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2007, 113 patients including chronic gallstone cholecystitis (n=55), inactive cholecystolithiasis (n=46) and gallbladder polyps (n=12) were collected and treated by LC. The diameters of their extrahepatic bile ducts were measured by B ultrasonography before operation, 3 months and 6 months after operation. These data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results The diameters of the extrahepatic bile ducts of all patients before LC, 3 months and 6 months after LC were (5?2) mm, (8?2) mm and (6?2) mm respectively. And in chronic gallstone cholecystitis patients they were (5?2) mm, (9?2) mm and (6?2) mm respectively, in inactive gallstone cholelithiasis patients they were (5?2) mm, (8?2) mm and (6?2) mm respectively, and in gallbladder polyps ones they were (5?2) mm, (7?2) mm and (5?2) mm respectively. Conclusion The change of the extrahepatic bile duct diameter after LC is a dynamic process. It is enlarged on the third month after operation than before operation. In the sixth month after operation marked retraction occurs, and compared with before operation, it shows no obvious statistic significance.

As a disease difficult to treat,the refractory ascites due to post hepatitis often results in a bad prognosis because the general medical treatment is ineffective.This paper introduces the current interventional treatment of the refractory ascites.

Objective To investigate the alternations in gene/amino acid sequence of penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 2b from clinical isolates of penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumonia(PNSP) in this region.Methods 24 strains of Streptococcus pneumonia were collected from January to December 2006.The antibiotics susceptibility of these strains was detected.PCR amplification and direct sequencing of pbp2b genes were performed.The sequence variations of PBP genes of the PNSP in this region were studied with sequence BLAST analysis.Results Three prominent substitutions were common tO 13 PNSP isolates with minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) at least 0.1 mg/L.These included the replacement of Thr445→Ala following the conservative motif SSN,Glu475→Gly and Thr488→Ala/Ser.The exchange of Glu332→Gly was identified in 12 PNSP isolates of which the MIC was at least 0.25 mg/L.Seven penicillin resistant Streptococcus pneumonia (PRSP) isolates (MIC≥3 mg/L)shared the amino acid substitution Ala618→Gly adiacent to third conserved (KTG) motif and the PBP2b sequences of seven PRSP isolates were classified within Back's group Ⅱ and were very similar to those of the Korean J77 isolate.Novel gene and amino acid sequence variants in isolate 14,15,8,11 and 24 was identified in this study and these gene sequences have been deposited in the GenBank database and assigned accession no.EU035970,EU056919,EU056920,EU056921 and EU106886.Conclusion Analysis of pbp2b genes revealed highly similar patterns of nucleotide and amino acid sequence variation among most resistant isolates.while penicillin intermediate Streptococcus pneumonia might be associated with novel gene sequence variants.
