Cirrhosis of the liver results in portal hypertension, which is a tortuous and dilated portal vein. The hemorrhage of digestive tract caused by dilation and rupture of lower esophagus and gastric fundus is the main cause of death in patients with cirrhosis. The treatment methods of digestive tract hemorrhage in liver cirrhosis include drug therapy, endoscopic hemostasis, interventional therapy to control hemorrhage and surgical hemostasis. These methods are mainly used to control hemorrhage and solve hypersplenism, but cannot solve the fundamental problem of cirrhosis. Stem cells can repair damaged liver cells and help restore liver function. Under the guidance of B-ultrasound, precise intrahepatic portal vein puncture and infusion of autologous bone marrow nucleated cells can improve cirrhosis through autologous bone marrow stem cells. Little damage to patients, little risk. Cell therapy combined with conventional therapy can treat both the symptoms and the root causes of digestive tract hemorrhage in cirrhosis.

BACKGROUND:Primary human lung epithelial cel s are difficult to be isolated and cultured in vitro, which is characterized as limited sources, low cel viability, slow proliferation capacity, and lacking of differentiation capability.
OBJECTIVE:To establish an air-liquid interface model of lung epithelium by in vitro proliferation of human bronchiolar epithelial cel s, which is used for research on function of lung epithelial cel s.
METHODS:Primary human bronchiolar epithelial cel s were isolated using Pronase and DNase I combined digestive methods, and then proliferated using medium containing ROCK kinase inhibitor. The proliferated cel s were used for establishment of the air-liquid interface epithelium model. Cel differentiation was identified using scanning electron microscope, phase contrast microscope and immunofluorescent staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The primary human bronchiolar epithelial cel s could be expanded successful y using medium containing ROCK kinase inhibitor, and the basal cel marker Cytokeratin14 was preferential y expressed in the proliferated cel population, indicating that these basal cel s might be the main subpopulation of human lung epithelial stem cel s. Subsequently, the proliferated cel s under the air-liquid interface could differentiate into ciliated cel s and non-ciliated column cel s. The results suggest that the proliferation and differentiation of human bronchiolar epithelial cel s were maintained in the presence of ROCK kinase inhibitor, and the air-liquid interface could promote the differentiation of human bronchiolar epithelial cel s.

Objective To compared analgesic effect of sufentanil and fentanyl in surgery patients during mechanical ventilation, and to explore the rational dosage of analgesic and sedative drugs. Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. 600 postoperative critically ill patients underwent mechanical ventilation for 12-72 hours admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from April 2013 to March 2015 were enrolled. They were randomly divided into two groups, sufentanil and fentanyl was used for analgesia respectively, and 300 patients in each group. The initiate dosage of sufentanil and fentanil was 5 μg/h and 50 μg/h, and the dosage was adjusted. A postoperative pain score (Prince-Henry score) of 0-1, and Richmond agitation-sedation scale (RASS) score -1-0 were targeted. 1 mg/kg of propofol was used if patient could not fall in sleep or felt anxious after loading dose of sufentanil (5 μg) or fentanil (50 μg) for 5 minutes. The use of analgesic drugs, the proportion and dosage of propofol was observed in the two groups, and adverse reactions were recorded. Results The mean dose of sufentanil for analgesia was (0.07±0.02) μg·kg-1·h-1, and the mean dose of fentanyl was (0.67±0.12) μg·kg-1·h-1. The patients in the two groups received propofol 40 to 60 mg/h in night, and the use proportion of propofol in sufentanil group was slightly less than that in fentanyl group (25.7% vs. 28.3%), but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). It was found by subgroup age analysis that, the mean analgesic dose of sufentanil or fentanyl in patients over 80 years old was lower than that in 70-79 years, 60-69 years and < 60 years groups but without statistical significance. There were 11 cases (3.7%) and 21 cases (7.0%) patients suffered from respiratory depression in sufentanil group and fentanyl group, respectively, without statistical significance (P = 0.069). The hemodynamics of patients in two groups was stable during analgesia, and no accidental extubation due to restlessness was found. Conclusions A smaller dose of sufentanil for postoperative patients underwent mechanical ventilation with satisfactory analgesia was (0.07±0.02) μg·kg-1·h-1, but need to be added with 40-60 mg/h and a small dose of propofol to improve anxiety and sleep. The proportion of patients needing propofol addition was slightly lower than that of fentanyl.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the prognostic impact of preoperative (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET-CT on postoperative recurrence in patients with completely resected stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
METHODSThe clinic data of 182 patients with stage I NSCLC who underwent (18)F-FDG PET-CT scan before surgical resection between June 2005 and June 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. There were 121 male and 61 female patients, with an average age of 68 years (range from 34 to 85 years). The pathological stage was I A in 98 patients, I B in 84 patients; the histology were adenocarcinoma in 137 patients, squamous cell carcinoma in 35 patients, and others in 10 patients. Clinicopathological factors including gender, age, smoking history, SUV(max), surgical procedure, pathological features and adjuvant chemotherapy were evaluated to identify the independent factors predicting postoperative recurrences by univariate and multivariate analysis. The survivals were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and differences in variables were analyzed by the Log-rank test.
RESULTSThe postoperative recurrence rate was 15.9%. The univariate analysis identified that the SUV(max) (t=3.278, P<0.001), p-stage (χ² =5.204, P=0.026), blood vessel invasion (χ² =5.333, P=0.027) and visceral pleural invasion (χ² =7.697, P=0.009) are factors for predicting postoperative recurrence. Only SUV(max) was found to be a significant independent factor according to multivariate analysis (HR=1.068, 95%CI: 1.015 to 1.123, P=0.001). The study population was stratified into three groups by SUV(max), patients with SUV(max) > 5.0 had significantly higher risk of recurrence (23.9%) than those with 2.5 < SUV(max) ≤ 5.0 (15.0%) and SUV(max) ≤ 2.5 (7.3%) (P=0.043); patients with SUV(max) ≤ 2.5 had significantly better 5-year recurrence-free survival rate (90.9%) than those with 2.5 < SUV(max) ≤ 5.0 (82.7%) and SUV(max) ≤ 2.5 (71.0%) (P=0.030). There was a trend toward higher probability of blood vessel invasion (χ² =20.267, P < 0.001), visceral pleural invasion (χ² =6.185, P=0.045) and pathological stage I B (χ² =13.589, P=0.001) with increased SUV(max).
CONCLUSIONSPreoperative SUV(max) of primary tumor is a predictor of postoperative relapse for stage I NSCLC after surgical resection. Therefore, it can contribute to the risk stratification for patients with the same pathological stage and selecting the optimal postoperative follow-up and therapeutic strategy.
