In the experimental study 5 cases of heteroepikeratophakia (HEP) (human to monkey) were done. The results showed that 4 HEP of experimental monkeys were found to be transparent in 6～24 months after operation. One of five experimental monkeys failed to have a transparent HEP because of epithelia implantation between donor lenticule and host cornea in the 3rd month after operation. In clinical study, HEP (monkey to human) was performed on 2 patients with aphakia. The visual acuity of these patients were improved because the transparent HEP was achieved. Either in experimental or in clinical study the immunological rejection was not found.

OBJECTIVE:To study the change regular of esterase isozyme and peroxidase isozyme of Polyporus umbellatus. METHOD:Using polypropylene amide circle electrophoresis.RESULTS：The pattern and activity of isozyme in same strain had some difference at different culture days,but some of isozyme pattern bands of the Rf value were visible in whole culture stage.Every strain had its peculiar pattern bands.CONCLUSION:The number of isozyme pattern bands and enzyme activity were proportional to the growing rate of myceliun,as well as its metabolic activity.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of MRCP in the determination of common bile duct (CBD) exploration in gallstone pancreatitis(GP). Methods The clinical data of the patients who underwent CBD exploration due to gallstone pancreatitis during two different periods were retrospectively reviewed. Between 1995 and 1999,46 patients with gallstone pancreatitis underwent CBD explorations based on the preoperative ultrasonographic examination of stones and dilatation of CBD . Between 2000 to 2002,the explorations were carried out in 30 patients based on MRCP findings. Results Negative exploration occurred in 28 patients (60.8%) during the first period and 7 patients (23.3%) during the second period. The difference of negative CBD exploration rate between the two groups was statistical significance(P

Process for the preparation of artificial seeds of Dendrobium candidum was established by using the somatic embryos of this plant. Experimental result showed that 1/2MS medium supplemented with sucrose was suitable to induce germination and seedling of D. candidum artificial seeds. The germination rate was over 80%.

Although allograft corneal transplantation has made great progress,keratoprothesis implantation is the only one hope, for both the patients who has fleshy pannus corneal vitiligo and the patients with the failure corneal transplantation surgery whose far sight is only light perceptions to recover their eye sight. To gain success and reduce complications, a lot of work has been done in keratoprosthesis materials and type, but heterogeneity and bio-compatibility are not solved totally. Because of development in the cell culture and tissue engineering, cornea ex vivo culture has gain a critical success. From cell option to carrier using, reconstructed three dimensional culture and epithelium equivalent mimicked human corneas in key morphology and function and were used in basic and clinical investigation. This article reviews the development of materials of keratoprosthesis and tissue engineering cornea.

Objective To study the necessity of alimentary tract examinations before laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods Alimentary tract examinations were carried out in 130 cases in preparation for LC. In addition, the clinical records of 4 cases with missed diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer during LC were also retrospectively analyzed. Results Out of the 130 cases, alimentary tract examinations found 11 cases of gastric and duodenal ulcer, 1 case of paraesophageal hernia, 4 cases of duodenal diverticulum, 4 cases of gastric cancer and 3 cases of colon cancer. Afterwards the surgery was temporarily canceled in 10 cases, and the rest of the 13 cases received open surgery. Missed diagnosis in the 4 cases included 3 cases of gastric cancer and 1 case of colon cancer. Conclusions Gastrointestinal diseases are often concurrent with gallbladder diseases. It is necessary to consummate alimentary tract examinations before LC for determining the indication of the operation and avoiding the misdiagnosis of other diseases.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of bend-assisted laparoseopie fight bemicolectomy for right colon carcinoma in elderly obesity patients. Methods 20 obesity eases undergoing hand-assisted laparoscopic right bemicolectomy were retrospectively reviewed, and compared with 25 obesity cases with transabdominal right hemicolectomy in the same period. The safety, recovery, eradication and stress reaction were compared. Results In hand-assisted laparoscopic group, there were less bleeding loss, rapid recovery to normal temperature and gastrointestinal function,ont of bed activity, short-time hospitalization compared with transabdominal group(P <0.01). There were no differences in operative time, numbers of lymph nodes removed, postoperative complications and length of specimen between two gronps(P > 0.05). CRP, IL-6, adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol were more significantly increased in two groups after operation than before operation (P < 0. 05) , and this increase was moreprominent in transabdominal group than in hand-assisted laparoacopic group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Hand-assis-ted laparoscopic right hemicolectomy is a safe and effective way for elderly obesity patients,especially in postoperative recovery and physical stress reaction.

Objective To observe inhibiting effect of endostatin on subcutaneous transplant tumor of breast carcinoma, and to illuminate the therapeutic effect of endostatin in the cancer. Methods The effect of en-dostatin on MCF-7 cell proliferation was studied by MTr. The model of MCF-7 cell transplant tumor on nude mice was constructed. Endostatin was injected intradermally around the transplant tumor. Inhibition effect on the tumor was observed. Results Endostatin with the concentration of 10 μ/mL and 15 μg/mL can inhibitMCF-7 cell proliferation effectively (P < 0. 05 ). After endostatin injection, tumor weight, volume and mi-crovessel density decreased significantly(P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Endostatin can inhibit breast carcinoma proliferation through inhibiting angiogenesis and the tumor cell itself.

AIM: In order to search carrier material and better tissue culture method, the morphology and structure of the cultured cat corneal endothelium was observed. METHODS: The cat corneal endothelial cells were seeded on the Descemet's membrane of the dehydrated swine corneal stroma, and then cultured in the medium with epidermal growth factor and laminin for 7 days. The morphology and structure of reconstructed tissue was tested by the inverted microscope and the scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: As shown by the morphological observations, the cultured cat corneal endothelial cells formed an integrated membrane, and attached to the Descemet's membrane, which was similar to the nature tissue. The cells connected tightly to each other, and some of them arranged in hexagon approximately. CONCLUSION: The cat corneal endothelial cells could be rebuilt on the carrier of the dehydrated swine corneal stroma successfully, which is similar to the nature tissue.

AIM: To investigate the influence of laminin (LN) on the expression of bcl-2 in rabbit cornea endothelial cells. METHODS: Cultured rabbit corneal endothelial cells were divided into three groups: normal control group, LN group and negative control group. Immunohistochemical technique and ELISA were used to measure the staining and A value to assess the levels of bcl-2 expression. RESULTS: Bcl-2 expression score showed that LN group had a strong positive expression. Control group only showed a weak expression. Negative control group showed a negative expression by immunohistochemical staining. The mean A value of each group were 1.21?0.18 (LN group), 1.05?0.14 (normal control group) and 0.04?0.01 (negative control group). CONCLUSION: LN promotes bcl-2 gene expression in rabbit cornea endothelial cells, and protects the cells from apoptosis.
