Objective To explore surgical strategy for patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCC) and study prognostic factors after curative treatment. Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 41 patients with HCC surgically treated in our department during the 9-year period from January 1999 to February 2007. Clinicopathological factors were evaluated for their association with post-operational survival by univariate and multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazard model. Results All the 41 patients underwent laparotomy following preoperative assessment of extent of disease and 21 patients (resectability rate 51.2%) ultimately underwent resection with curative in-tent. In the resection group, R0 radical resection was possible in 11 patients, while R1 resection in 6and R2 in 4. Different types of hepatectomy were combined to accomplish resection. Meanwhile, por-tal vein wedge resection or reconstruction was needed in two patients. The 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were 41.5%, 14.6% and 4.9% in the overall group and 71.3%, 28.6%, 9.5% in the resection group, respectively. In R0-resection, Rl-resection and R2 resection group, the 1-,3-and 5-year sur-vival rates were 81.8% ,45.5% ,18.2% ;66.7% ,16.7% ,0 and 50% ,0,0, respectively. Survival rates after resection were significantly higher than those after palliative drainage and exploratory laparotomy (P<0. 001). Higher survival rates were seen in R0-resected patients when compared with Rl-or R2-resected patients (P<0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that tumor-free margins, pTNM stage and combined hepatectomy were independent prognostic factors affecting survival. Conclusion Only surgery can provide chance to achieve the possibility of cure and long-term survival. Tumor-free margins, pTNM stage and combined hepatectomy are the most important prognostic factors affecting the survival.

Objective To analyze the association of DOG1 protein with gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST). Methods Seventy-seven patients diagnosed with GIST between January 2005 and June 2010 were enrolled. The DOG1 expression in GIST was determined using immunohistochemistry.The result was compared with that of CD117 and CD34. Results Of 77 GIST patients, the DOG1 was expressed in 74 (96.10%) patients and CD117 in 70 (90. 9%) patients, with no significant difference between DOG1 and CD117 (P>0.05). DOG1 expression was not related to the risk stratification of the tumor, site, age and gender (P>0. 05). Of 7 GIST patients with negative CD117,6 patients were positive for DOG1 expression. Whereas 2 of 3 DOG1 negative patients were positive for CD117 expression. Conclusions DOG1, as a novel marker for GIST,has high sensitivity as CD117. It is a good complementarity in diagnosis of GIST when combine DOG1 with CD117, especially in diagnosis of CD117 negative patients. However, the DOG1 can not be used as an index in eveluating the risk stratification of the GIST.

Objective To investigate Hysterothylacium aduncum (Anisakidae) infection in marine fishes from Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea. Methods Nematodes were collected from the digestive tract of fishes, fixed with hot 4% formalin and preserved in 70% ethanol for study. The specimens were cleared in lactophenol for light microscopical examination, and properly treated for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results Among the fishes examined, 14 out of 93 species (15.1%) were found infected by H.aduncum, with a higher prevalence in the fish of Lophius litulon(66.7%), Scomber-omorus niphonius(47.5%), and Gadus macrocephalus(33.3%). H.aduncum infection was first recorded in elasmobranch-Raja smirnovi. Morphological differences of H.aduncum were observed, including the width of lateral alae and the length of intestinal caecum. Conclusion H.aduncum in fishes of Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea in China may be a complex species, and its high prevalence in some fishes reminds the risk of anisakiasis by eating raw fishes.

There are a variety of factors contributing to pertussis resurgence, which is related to short duration of immunity provided by the vaccine, the difference of vaccination strategies, the change of epidemiological characteristics, antibiotic resistance, the variation of bordetella pertussis, the improvement of diagnostic criteria and the advancement of the monitoring system.There has been a decrease in the number of cases of natural infection since the vaccination, leading to a change in the prevalence of pertussis currently.The decline in population group immunity causes a decrease of serum antibody titer transmitted from the mother to the newborn.As a result, unvaccinated infants have poor immunity against pertussis in the early stage, and infants under 1 year old are prone to severe pertussis.Children and adolescents are also susceptible to pertussis owing to the short-term efficacy of the vaccine.They often present with chronic cough after infection.Adults infected with pertussis are unheeded because of atypical symptoms or occult infection, and they would infect young babies.To improve the diagnosis and treatment of pertussis, it is necessary to meliorate the laboratory diagnosis, study bacterial variation and drug resistance, strengthen disease surveillance, seek more optimized immunization strategies and develop new vaccines.In this paper, the causes of pertussis resurgence were reviewed, in order to provide reference for prevention and control of pertussis in China.

Aim To explore the effect of picrodideⅡ on the expressions of Caspase-3 and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) in brain tissue following cerebral ischemic reperfusion injury in rats.Methods The middle cerebral artery occlusion reperfusion models were established with intraluminal thread methods in rats. PicrodideⅡ (10 mg·kg~(-1)) and salvianic acid A sodium (10 mg·kg~(-1)) were injected from tail vein for treatment. The neurological function was evaluated with Bederson's test and the cerebral infarction volume was observed with tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining.The brain structure was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and the apoptosis was counted by TUNEL immunofluorescence assay. The expressions of Caspase-3 and PARP were detected with immunohistochemical and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Results After ischemia 2 h and reperfusion 22 h, the rats showed neurological function deficit and cerebral infarction in ischemic hemisphere. The expressions of Caspase-3 and PARP and the number of apoptotic cells in brain tissue increased compared with those in the sham operative group (P <0.05). In picroside and salvianic acid A sodium groups, the Bederson's scores and cerebral infarction volume, the expressions of Caspase-3 and PARP and the number of apoptosis cells were lower than those in the negative control group (P <0.05). While there was no significant difference in five indexes metioned above between picroside group and salvianic acid A sodium group (P >0.05).Conclusion PicrosideⅡ might reduce the expressions of Caspase-3 and PARP to inhibit the neuronal apoptosis induced by cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury and improve the neurological function of rats.
