Objective To study the therapeutic effect of catgut net wrapping for preservation of the injured spleen.Methods Catgut net wrapping method was used to preserve the injured spleen,and the clinical material of those patients treated by the wrapping method was retrospectively evaluated.Results Ultimate spleen recovery was achieved in each case of 15 patients without postoperative bleeding observed,any abscess formation,or complications related to the use of catgut net wrapping.The patients were discharged after 10 to 14 hospital dayS.Two-week-fol-low-up results showed this therapeutic opinion is safe.Conclusion As a means of preserving the injured spleen,the catgut net wrapping method was simple,safe,and efficacious.

Objective To investigate the value of low positive AFP level for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)when a space occuping lesion was already identified in the liver.Methods The AFP level of 401 HCC cases from January 1999 to October 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.Results 22 cases of small liver cancer underwent reducing surgical resection in our hospital,increasing the quality of life and prolonging survival rate.Con- clusion(1)The AFP level between 20 and 200?g/L is of diagnostic for HCC when a SOL is identified.(2)The clinical reference diagnostic criteria using AFP level more than 20?g/L,instead of more than 200?g/L is helpful for the diagnosis.(3)Combined diagnosis of AFP level more than 20?g/L and ultrasonography or CT scanning yields higher sensitivity and specificity th.an traditional,diagnostic criteria.

Objective To investigate the roles of cell apoptosis and the gene expressions of Fas, FasL, bcl-2 and bax in acute rejection of pancreaticoduodenal transplantation and to evaluate the function of duodenum biopsy for early detection of rejection in rats. Methods Wistar and SD rats were divided into two groups: ①Wistar rats that underwent allogenic pancreaticoduodenal transplantation from the organs of SD rats; ②Wistar rats that received homogenic transplantation. The grafts were then harvested on day 3, 5 and 7 after the transplantation, and all graft samples were observed with HE staining and TUNEL was also used to detect apoptotic cells. The expressions of Fas, FasL, bcl-2 and bax were measured by immunochemical method. According to Nakhleh’s score, pathologic features of transplanted pancreas and duodenum were ranged from one to three scores in order. Results The percentage of same or different scores between the pathological scores of pancreas and duodenum in allogenic pancreaticoduodenal transplantation group were 61.1% (11/18) and 38.9% (7/18) respectively, and there were 6 specimens of pancreatic tissue got higher scores with only one higher score for duodenum. There were significant differences of histopathologic rejection scores and apoptotic indices between the two groups, respectively (P

Objective To investigate effects of maintenance hemodialysis with citrate-bicarbonate dialysate on Th17 in peripheral blood of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). Methods The CRF patients (n=57) with main-tenance hemodialysis for more than three months as well as free-active infection were selected and divided into two groups randomly, which were treated by citrate-bicarbonate dialysate and ordinary carbonate dialysate for mainte-nance dialysis in 12 month, respectively. The levels of interleulin-17 (IL-17) and percentages of Th17 subgroup in peripheral blood were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and flow cytometer, respectively. ResultsThe levels of IL-17 and percentages of Th17 subgroup in patients treated with citrate-bicarbonate dialysate for more than six months were significantly lower than those treated with ordinary carbonate dialysate. Moreover, incidences of adverse reactions in group of citrate bicarbonate dialysate were lower than those of common carbonate dialysate group. Conclusion The pro-inflammatory effects of maintenance hemodialysis with citrate-bicarbonate dialysate on the patients are lower than those of ordinary carbonate dialysate. Citrate-bicarbonate dialysate causes the reduction of inflammatory state, and is worthy of being popularized in clinic.

Objective To investigate the activity changes of gelatinase in the formation of ascending aortic aneurysm.Methods Thirty five young Wistar rats were divided into two groups:the control group and the experiment group.The rat models induced by ascending aorta banding were made.The ascending aortas were taken after 3-5 months operation,changes of gelatinase activity was observed by gelatin zymography and film in situ zymography.Results Gelatinase activity of ascending aortic aneurysm was significantly increased compared with that of normal ascending aortic aorta.Conclusion Elevation of gelatinase activity may play a significant role in the formation of ascending aortic aneurysm.

Objective To compare clinical outcomes in cardiac transplant recipients treated with individualized dosing (ID) and fixed dosing (FD) of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF).Methods Fortyeight de novo cardiac transplant patients in ID group received MMF (2.0 g/day) in combination with calcineurin inhibitors and prednisone.The MMF dosages were adjusted individually based on clinical events and MPA trough levels (MPA-C0).The target range of C0 was maintained within 2.0-4.0rng/L.The FD group included 55 recipients retrospectively from the transplant database who were also treated with MMF (2.0 g/day).In this group,the MMF dose adjustment was performed empirically according to clinical events only.All of the follow-up data were collected up to 12 months post-transplantation.Results The follow-up rate was 95.8％ and the mean MPA-AUC0-12 was (54.37± 17.03) rng h-1 L-1 in the ID group.The mean MPA-C0 on the day 7 post-transplantation was significantly higher in the ID group than that at 12th month [(3.44 ± 0.58) mg/L vs.(2.79 ± 0.54)mg/L] (P＜0.05).The dose of MMF was significantly lower in the ID group at 4th week posttransplantation than in control group [(1.49± 0.48) g/day vs.(1.96 ± 0.39) g/d] (P＜0.05),while there was no significant difference at 12 th month post-transplantation [(1.61 ± 0.77) g/day vs.(1.68 ± 0.84) g/day] (P＞ 0.05).No significant difference was found in the incidence of acute rejection episode between two groups (8.7％ vs.9.1％,P＞0.05).57.6％ of overall side effects were observed within one month postoperatively,and the incidence of MPA-related side effects was significantly lower in the ID group than in the control group (47.8％ vs.67.3％,P＜0.05).Conclusion It was demonstrated that individualized use of MMF based on therapeutic drug monitoring may prevent MMF-related side effect and appears to be valuable to optimize the treatment of cardiac transplantation.

To reduce the mismatching and non-matching in the protein two-dimension electrophoresis (2-DE) images, we proposed an auto-matching algorithm based on gray hierarchical and geometric blocking in this study. Firstly, protein spots in the gel images were divided into groups by gray level and geometric position, and then a method based on shape context and normalized correlation was used for coarse matching in protein spots. Secondly, matched pairs in coarse matching were set as feature points, and the precise matching in the rest of not matched protein spots was accomplished by the method of geometric correlation and similarity criterion. Finally, local affine transformation was used in the verification of matching results to remove non-matching and mis-matching points. The algorithm was applied to different 2-DE gel images. The results showed that the new matching algorithm could reduce the non-matching and mis-matching spots, and increase the matching accuracy.
