Laparoscopic hepatectomy has been utilized in clinic,however to some extent there are some limitations for various equipments being used in laparoscopic hepatectomy, as a result, the laparoscopic bepa-tectomy is being constrainted on its development. Therefore, with the research and development of the ideal tool for laparoscopic hepatectomy,laparoscopic liver surgery is bound to be booming.

Reducing blood loss during hepateetomy is important.Intraoperative blood loss and liver damage of hepatectomy under the total hemihepatic vascular exclusion could be less than that under the other methods of vascular occlusion.It could be worth improving and applying further.This article review the latest studies to introduce the latest advancement in this area.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs)are special kind of tumor cells in the peripheral blood of patient with tumor.Now CTCs detection has been used in the survival time prediction,post-operational recu-rrence detection,individualized treatment and other aspects in the patients with gastric cancer.As the research going,CTCs will provide new help for the comprehensive treatment of gastric cancer.

[Objective]To explore the application value of vascularized fibular graft in the repairment of maxillofacial defects.[Methods] Forty-five patients with maxillofacial defects caused by various reasons were enrolled and treated by vascularized fibular graft.The related disease history,survival situation of blood vessels and tissue flaps of all the patients were recorded.[Results]All the patients were followed up for 3-6 months after surgery.All the patients could eat by mouth and without no obvious obstacle.There was no facial asymmetry,healthy side bite jaws deflection and so on.The maxillofacial appearance and functions almost returned back to normal.Oral panoramic radiography showed that the osseous healing of transplanted fibular and mandibular was good,and there was no bone nonunion,osteonecrosis,titanium plate rejection or fracture happened.Three-dimensional CT scàn revealed that the recovery of mandibular appearance was good.There was 1 case with leg wound drainage and 1 case with cervical wound effusion,which were all healed after the second phase by dressing change and necessary treatment.The rest of the patients were all healed at the first phase.There was no free tissue flap necrosis and calf obvious dysfunction.[Conclusions] Using vascularized fibular graft for the repairment of maxillofacial defects,the maxillofacial appearance and functions of patients almost return to normal after surgery.The surgery can satisfy the requirements of patients on postoperative oral and maxillofacial appearance and function with lower incidence of complications and hig her survival rate of free tissue flap.Therefore,it is worthy of clinical application.

Secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine (CCL21) is a double-edged sword, which exerts antitumor, anti-infection immune response by binding to the receptor CCR7 on the surface of the multiple immune cells. However, a variety of tumor cells also express the receptor CCR7, the combination of CCL21 with CCR7promotes the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells, leading to the facilitation of tumor development. Therefore,exploring the mechanism(s) of tumor invasion and metastasis might be helpful for use of CCL21 as tumor gene therapy through blocking of CCL21's promotion of tumor invasion and metastasis.

Objective To explore the antibacterial activity and cytocompatibility of chitosan-nano-silver complex thermosensitive hydrogel. Methods There were 4 groups: group A (containing 1 ×10-5 chitosan-nano-silver complex thermosensitive hydrogel), group B (containing 5 ×10-6 chitosan-nano-silver complex thermosensitive hydrogel) , group C ( containing 2 ×10-6 chitosan-nano-silver complex thermosensitive hydrogel) , group D ( chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel ) .The antibacterial activity of the samples against six kinds of gram-negative bacteria, one kind of gram-positive bacterium, three kinds of fungi were measured by bacteriostatic circle.The cytocompatibility of the extraction to NIH-3T3 cells was studied by SRB. Results The antibacterial activity enhanced with the increasing of nano silver concentration in chitosan-nano-silver complex thermosensitive hydrogel, whose antibacterial activity was better than chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel; its extraction has no cytotoxicity, thus showed good cytocompatibility. Conclusion The chitosan-nano-silver complex thermosensitive hydrogel is a potential novel wound dressing.

[Objective] To retrospectively study and discuss the indications,surgical techniques and effect of treating hallux valgus with modified Austin operation-Chevron-Gerbert osteotomy or Chevron-Youngswick osteotomy.[Method]From October 1998 to April 2006,34 patients(62 feet)with hallux valgus were treated with modified Austin operation.The X-ray films of all patients were collected preoperatively,two weeks postoperatively and during the follow-up.The hallux valgus angle(HVA),intermetataral angle(IMA),proximal articular set angle(PASA)and distal articular set angle(DASA)were measured and analyzed on radiogram.[Result]All patients were followed up for 1-8 years(mean 3.6 years).HVA before and after surgery was 33.50??1.02?and 13.6??0.826 respectively.IMA was 16.0??0.837?before and 8.6??1.078 after surgery.AOFAS score was 44.8?5.7 before,and 87.6 4.2 after surgery.Significant difference was found between the results.According to AOFAS rating system,46 feets had a excellent result and 10 feet had a good result and the other 5 feet had a fair result.The rate of excellent or good results was 90.3%.[Conclusion]The modified Austin operation is a good,simple and reliable operation means for treatment of hallux valgus,which especially applies to severe hallux valgus with big PASA.The adductor hallucis or the sesamoid is not necessarily interfered in patients with slight or moderate hallux valgus.

[Objective]To study the expression of Cathepsin B,Caspase-3 and to explore the significance of their expression initially after acute spinal cord injury in rats.[Method]The spinal cord injury of the healthy adult SD rats (78) was induced with Nystrom’s way by the moderate compression at the level of T8 and T9 spinal cord. HE methods were used to detect the pathologic change of spinal cord. The expression of Cathepsin B and Caspase-3 were detected by immunohistochemical study. Besides,using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated DUTP nick and labeling (TUNEL) methods to detect the level of the apoptosis of neural cells.[Result]There were few expressions of Cathepsin B, Caspase-3 and TUNEL positive cells in normal and sham operated spinal cord as detected by immunohistochemical study. The number of positive cells of Cathepsin B increased clearly at 3 days,reached a peak at 5 days,and was constant at 7 days after injury. While the expression of Caspase-3 increased obviously at 8 hours,got to a peak at 3 days,and was lowest at 7 days. And the number of positive cells of TUNEL also increased obviously at 8 hours,got to a peak at 3 days,and was lowest at 7 days. There were significance differences of morphological and position of positive cells between Cathepsin B and Caspase-3 or Tunel. [Conclusion]Caspase-3 protein expressions are enhanced in combination with neuronal apoptosis,while Cathepsin B may involve in the secondary injury by inflammatory cells after acute spinal cord injury.
