Objective To study the characteristics of hepatogastric artery (HGA) with DSA and its clinical significance in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods One thousand cases of hepatic DSA arteriograms had been retrospectively reviewed. The aberrant gastrointestinal arteries that originated from proper hepatic artery (PHA) or distal intrahepatic arteries to PHA were named HGA. Furthermore, according to their different courses and distributions, HGAs were subdivided into right gastric artery (RGA), aberrant left gastric artery (AbLGA), aberrant gastroduodenal artery (AbGDA), aberrant right gastroepiploic artery (AbRGEA), superior duodenal artery (SDA) and other difficult-to-named HGA. The incidence of each of them had been summed up and their anatomic characteristics such as origin, course, branches, and distribution had been described. Results Of the 1000 cases, at least one branch of HGA was found in 740 cases (74%), and altogether there were 839 branches of HGA in them. The composition of 839 branches of HGA was as follows: 682 branches of RGA (81.29%, 682/839), 84 branches of AbLGA (10.01%, 84/839), 45 branches of SDA (5.36%, 45/839), 21 branches of AbGDA (2.50%, 21/839), 1 branch of AbRGEA (0.12%, 1/839) and 6 branches of difficult-to-named HGA (0.72%, 6/839). Of the 839 branches of HGA, 412 branches originated from PHA (49.11%, 412/839), 314 branches from left hepatic artery (LHA)(37.43%, 314/839), 98 branches from right hepatic artery (RHA)(11.68%, 98/839), and 15 branches from middle hepatic artery (MHA)(1.79%, 15/839). Conclusion HGA is a common gastrointestinal arterial variation and it is very important to be familiar with it so as to prevent the gastrointestinal complications after TACE in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To study the anatomic characteristics of hepatogastric artery(HGA) and its significance in preventing gastrointestinal complications in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE).Methods 1000 cases of hepatic arteriograms were retrospectively reviewed,the aberrant gastrointestinal arteries that originate from proper hepatic artery(PHA)and distal intrahepatic arteries to PHA were named HGA.The frequency,origine,course and distribution of all of HGAs were carefully analyzed.The trial group consists of 34 cases(42 times of TACE)who had HGA and controlled group consists 32 cases(56 times of TACE)who had no HGA.The incidence of gastrointestinal complications after TACE between two groups were compared.Within trial group,superselective catheterization was made and had the tip of catheter away from orifice of the HGA before infusion of embolic agents(Lipiodol)during TACE in 18 times,which was called relative safety group;whereas,the tip of catheter was not laid distal to orifice of HGA when infused Lipiodol through catheter in 24 times,which was called dangerous group.The incidence of complications between this two groups was also compared.Results Of 1000 cases of hepatic arteriography,HGA was found in 740 cases (74%).The incidence of gastrointestinal complication and its grave degree in trial group were more excessive than that in controlled group((?=0.004),similarly,the frequency of gastrointestinal complication and its graveness in dangerous group exceeded significantly that in relative safety group((?=0.000).Conclusion HGA is common vascular variation.That embolic agents (Lipiodol)was perfused carelessly into HGA may induced occurrence of gastrointestinal complications in patients after TACE,and having the tip of catheter away from the orifice of HGA by superselective catheterization during TACE could efficiently prevent happening of this kind of complications after operation.

The inhibition of bronchoalveolar surfactant function by endotoxic rat plasma was compared with that by normal rat plasma with M-8601 film balance. The results showed that endotoxic rat plasma significantly inhibited surfactant function of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). In the same protein concentration, the inhibition effects caused by endotoxic rat plasma were comparable with those by normal rat plasma. There were no changes of the inhibition effects after incubation of BAL with either endotoxic or normal plasma at 37℃ for 30min. These results suggest that the inhibition of surfactant function by the leakage of plasma in endotoxic lung injury is mainly due to protein components.

Objective To investigate the anatomic characteristics of hepatopancreatic artery(HPA) by DSA and its significance in preventing pancreatic complications after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods 1 000 cases of hepatic arteriograms have been retrospectively reviewed. The aberrant pancreatic arteries that originate from proper hepatic artery(PHA) and all distal intrahepatic branches to PHA were called hepatopancreatic arteries. The incidence of HPA has been summed up and its anatomic characteristics such as origine, course, branches and distribution have been described. Results Of 1000 cases, HPA were found in 16 cases(1.6%). There were 2 branches of HPA in one case and there was only one branch of HPA in other 15 cases. Altogether 17 branches of HPA were found; of which, 7 branches originated from PHA(41.2%,7/17), 6 branches arose from right hepatic artery(RHA)(35.3%,6/17) and 4 branches came from left hepatic artery(LHA)(23.5%,4/17). Conclusions HPA is a kind of rare variations of pancreatic artery. The importance to avoid embolizing HPA during TACE is preventing pancreatic complications.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of laparoscopic splenic artery ligation in the treatment of hypersplenism and thrombocytopenia in children. Methods From August 2014 to December 2014, four children with hypersplenism and three children with ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) were treated in our hospital.Laparoscopic splenic artery ligation was performed in all the patients.During the operation, the gastric colon ligament was cut with an ultrasonic knife, and the gastric wall was suspended to expose the pancreas and the spleen.The splenic artery was ligated at the upper edge of pancreas closing to the splenic hilum.The splenic venous branches were dissected and ligated at the splenic hilum by using the Hem-o-lok, which leaded to an area of splenic infarction more than 50%. Results The laparoscopic splenic artery ligation was successfully performed in all the patients, without conversion to open surgery.The operative time was 120-150 min ( mean, 126 min) , and the intraoperative blood loss was 10-20 ml ( mean, 15 ml) .No patient underwent blood transfusion.The length of postoperative hospital stay varied from 4 to 11 days (mean, 6.6 days).The splenic length significantly decreased postoperatively [(13.6 ±2.6) cm vs.(15.1 ±1.7) cm, t=3.199, P=0.049], and so was the splenic thickness [(3.8 ±1.0) cm vs.(4.1 ±0.8) cm, t =3.703, P=0.034].Partial splenic infarction and decreased splenic blood flow were found in the 7 patients by postoperative ultrasound.After surgery, four children suffered from fever, which were 38.8 ℃, 39.0 ℃, 38.6 ℃, and 39.2 ℃, with the duration of fever of 2, 4, 8, and 5 days, respectively.All the patients were followed-up for 6 -10 months (mean, 8.4 months).The complete blood cell count was within normal range. Conclusion The laparoscopic splenic artery ligation is an effective treatment for hypersplenism and thrombocytopenia in children.

Objective: To study influence of acute hypoxia on the current of voltage-gated potassium channel (IK) in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) of rats. Methods: A total of 20 male SD rats were randomly and equally divided into normoxic control group and acute hypoxia group. The rats in acute hypoxia group were kept in hypoxic chamber for 8 h before experiment. Whole cell patch-clamp technique was used to record IK in PASMC. Results: Acute hypoxia significantly decreased the IK density in PASMC of rats. During -60mV to -10mV of resting membrane potential（RMP）, acute hypoxia did not significantly decrease peak IK density in PASMC of rats, P>0.05; At 0 mV, acute hypoxia significantly decreased the peak IK density in PASMC [from（38.1 ± 5.2） pA / pF decreased to（9.82 ± 2.1） pA / pF ,P<0.05], then along with RMP increase in PASMC, the decreasing amplitude of peak IK density in PASMC gradually increased（P<0.05）; From + 30 mV to+ 60 mV, the decreasing amplitude of peak IK density in PASMC further significantly increased（P<0.01）; At + 60 mV the peak IK density decreased from（38.1 ± 5.2） pA / pF to（9.82 ± 2.1） pA / pF , and the decreasing amplitude reached (46.8±3.3)%. Conclusion: Acute hypoxia can decrease Kv current in PASMC of rats, leading to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.
