Objective To study the incidence of PTEN, p53 and Ki-67 expression in astrocytoma and show the relationship between PTEN, p53 expression and the proliferation activity. Methods The surgical specimens from 68 brain astrocytoma patients were analysed to detect PTEN, p53 and Ki-67 expression with immunohistochemical method. Results The incidence of PTEN, p53 and Ki-67 expression was 54.4 %,45.6 % and 48.5 % respectively in astrocytoma. With the grade of astrocytoma increasing the levels of PTEN protein decreased, on the other hand the levels of p53, Ki-67 increased. There was a negative correlation between PTEN expression and grade of astrocytoma while there was a positive correlation between p53, Ki-67 expression and grade of astrocytoma by using the Spearman Correlation test to analyse the data. The incidence of Ki-67 positive expression was 24.3 % in 37 cases exhibiting PTEN positive staining, whereas the incidence of Ki-67 positive expression was 77.4 % in 31 cases exhibiting PTEN negative staining. In statistics, there was an inverse correlation between PTEN and Ki-67 expression. Conclusion There is an inverse correlation between histopathological grades of astrocytoma and PTEN expression. A positive correlation is found between p53, Ki-67 expression and histopathological grades of astrocytoma. PTEN can inhibit tumor cell proliferation in astrocytoma.

Objective To analyze the complications, treatments and prognosis of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Methods Forty cases of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation performed between Dec. 1999 and Jan. 2010 in our center were retrospectively analyzed. Results Regarding surgical complications, 4 cases had severe hematuria after operation,which needed clinical intervention, including 1 patient receiving catheterization in duodenum to stop bleeding. Two patients were treated with continuous bladder irrigation, and the remaining one received surgical haemostasis because of donor's duodenum and bladder anastomotic artery hemorrhage.Abdominal hemorrhage occurred in 4 patients, including pancreatic hemorrhage in 3 cases and duodenal muscularis hemorrhage in one case. All of them received surgical treatment for hemostasis.Abdominal infection occurred in 8 cases: one died of multiple organ failure, 2 cases were cured after drainage of abscess, 2 cases underwent surgical removal of abscess, and 3 cases were cured after antibiotic therapy. In one case of postoperative anastomotic leakage, pancreas was resected. Four cases of postoperative ileus were cured by continuous clysis with traditional Chinese medicine. Seven cases had pulmonary bacterial infections, including one cases associated with fungal infection. They were cured by the anti-infective treatment. Other complication included poor healing in 5 cases and urinary infection in 2 cases. After combined simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, 10 patients received reoperation because of surgical complications (14 operations). The re-operation rate was 25 %, including 2 patients (4 operations) for hematuria, 4 patients for abdominal hemorrhage, 2 patients (3 operations) for abdominal infection, 1 patient for pancreatic venous thrombosis, 1 patient for anastomotic leakage, and 1 patient for pancreatic fistula. Conclusion Although simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation provides a successful and effective treatment for diabetics with endstage renal disease, surgical complication is still affecting the pancreas and kidney grafts after transplantation.

Objective To explore the technology of excision,and finishing on donative pancreas during combined pancreas-kidney transplantation.Methods We successfully harvested multiple abdominal organs together on 40 cases.Wide surgical exposure was obtained.Cannulas were placed for in situ cooling in portal vein and abdominal aorta,and flushed with HC-A (2000 ml) and UW (1000 ml) with the pressure being 10 cm H2O.The intestine was flushed with 0～4 ( normal saline (1000 ml) and metronidazole (200 ml),the liver,kidney,pancreas,spleen and duodenum were en bloc excised and isolated,and the pancreas and kidney were pruned.Results Excision of donative abdominal organ was successfully performed on all 40 cases.The en bloc warm ischemic time was 3.2 min (2～5 min).The cold ischemic time of pancreas was 10.6 h (8～15 h).The cold ischemic time of kidney was 8.5 h (4～16 h).Post-operation mean withdrawal-insulin time was 9.5 days (4～17 d),FFG 6.7 μmol/L (4.4～10.7 μmol/L),GHbA1c 4.4 ％ (4.1 ％～4.7 ％).Creatine was 87.2 (56～121) μmol/L one month after operation.There were 2 cases of DGF after operation,and the creatine level was returned to the normal within one month after operation.Conclusion Technology of excision,preservation and finishing on donative pancreas for combined pancreas-kidney transplantation was one of the key points for successful transplantation.

Objective To analyze the complications,treatments and prognosis of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation,especially on surgical complications and treatments.Method The causes and outcomes of surgical treatment in 70 cases of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation performed between Dec.1999 and June 2012 were retrospectively analyzed in our center.Result Sixteen patients (22.9％) underwent one or more reoperations.The causes for reoperation were as follows:2 cases of hematuria,4 cases of abdominal hemorrhage,4 cases of abdominal infection,4cases of pancreatic thrombosis,2 cases of renal graft's artery rupture,1 case of renal allograft rupture,1 case of intestinal fistula,and 1 case of pancreatic fistula.Eight pancreas grafts were lost in the first year.Pancreatectomy was performed on the other 5 cases:4 cases of pancreatic thrombosis,1 case of intestinal fistula,accounting for 43.8％ of the patients subject to reoperation.The recipients,kidney,pancreas survival rate in reoperation group at 1 year was 87.5％,75％,and 56.3％ respectively; and that in control group at 1 year was 98.1％,98.1 ％,and 98.1 ％ respectively.There was significant difference in kidney survival rate (P＜0.01,chi-square =6.79),and pancreas survival rate (P＜0.01,chi-square =17.47) between two groups.Conclusion Although simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation provides a successful and effective treatment for diabetics with end-stage renal disease,surgical treatment due to complications is still an important factor in short-term survival on the grafts.

Thirty patients with objective benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) (objective group) and 30 patients with subjective BPPV (subjective group) visiting Department of Neurology from January 2014 to June 2015 were enrolled in the study.There were no significant differences in semicircular canal,gender,age,related factors of secondary onset (P ＞ 0.05).Patients were evaluated with dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) before and after the maneuver therapy.The average DHI subscale scores before treatment of all patients were higher than those after treatment (11.8 ± 2.8 vs.2.5 ± 1.8,P ＜ 0.05);there was 11.9 ± 3.0 vs.2.5 ± 2.1 (P ＜ 0.05) for objective group and 11.6 ± 2.6 vs.2.5 ± 1.6 (P ＜ 0.05) for subjective group.The scores of PI,F5,P11,P13,P25 (mean rank order value) after treatment were decreased compared to corresponding initial scores in two groups(objective group:21.30 vs.39.70,19.55 vs.41.45,19.00 vs.42.00,18.65 vs.42.35,15.90 vs.45.10,respectively,subjective group:20.93 vs.40.07,18.07 vs.42.93,19.77 vs.41.23,18.57 vs.42.43,16.47 vs.44.53,respectively;all P ＜ 0.05).The results indicate that maneuver therapy is effective both for objective and subjective BPPV patients;and subscale of DHI can be used to evaluate the degree of illness in patients with BPPV.
