Objective To summarize our experience in the prevention and treatment of right accessory hepatic duct and right hepatic duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods The clinical data of 21 cases with right accessory hepatic duct or right hepatic duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy were reviewed retrospectively. Result According to anatomy identified by preoperative work-up and selective cholangiography during the operation, 18 cases had the right accessory hepatic duct,eleven of them were confirmed intraoperatively. The accessory hepatic ducts were conserved in 3 cases and clipped without biliary leaks postoperativly in 7 cases; One case had biliary leaks postoperatively with the duct sutured intraoperatively, and recovered well conservative therapy. Accessory hepatic ducts were accidentally injuried in 7 cases, two patients were transferred to open surgery; three cases were confirmed to be injuried and clipped by second laparoscopic exploration because of biliary leaks postoperatively. Three cases had a low confluence of the right and left hepatic duct with the gallbladder duct joining the right bile duct, the ducts were conserved in 2 cases and injuried in one. Postoperatively all these 21 cases were followed up for 2 years, without jaundice or liver dysfunction. Conclusions To prevent injury of right accessory hepatic duct and right hepatic duct. High vigilance and familiarity with the anatomic variants of the biliary tree and intraoperative cholangiography in selective cases are fundmental.

BACKGROUND:Thoracolumbar spine as highly concentrated stress, often prone to vertebral fractures. With the further development of the biomechanics and anatomical structure of the spine, posterior open reduction and internal fixation with pedicle screw has been widely accepted by clinicians. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical results and safety of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation system (Viper system) used in thoracolumbar compression fractures. METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed 40 patients with thoracolumbar compression fractures from Department of Orthopedics, Changzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from January 2013 to February 2014. According to the type of graft, patients were randomly divided into experiment group and control group, with 20 patients in each group. They were respectively subjected to Viper percutaneous pedicle screw fixation system and open reduction and pedicle screw fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al vertebra got bone unions. Operative time and time to bone union were shorter in the experiment group than in the control group. Moreover, intraoperative blood loss was less in the experiment group than in the control group. Cobb’s angle, height percentage of leading edge and wedge angle were similar between the two groups. However, at 12 months after internal fixation, height percentage of leading edge was lower in the experiment group than in the control group. Visual Analogue Scale scores and Oswestry Disability Index were noticeably improved after fixation in both groups. Visual Analogue Scale scores and Oswestry Disability Index were lower in the experiment group than in the control group immediately after fixation. These results suggest that compared with open reduction and pedicle screw fixation, Viper percutaneous pedicle screw fixation system for thoracolumbar compression fractures can stably restore the structure and function of spine, and does not increase perioperative complications.

BACKGROUND:Cirrhosis is a long-term consequence of chronic hepatic injury, which has no effective therapy. Mesenchymal stem cels have been shown to play a potential role in the treatment of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels on CCl4 induced liver fibrosis/cirrhosis in rats. METHODS:A CCl4-induced liver fibrotic/cirrhotic rat model was used, and human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels were injectedvia the tail vein after modeling. Liver biochemical profile was measured by Beckman Coulter analyzer. Histopathological changes were assessed by Sirius red staining. The expressions of colagen type I, colagen type III, matrix metaloproteinases-2 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metaloproteinases-2 protein and mRNA in liver tissues were observed by immunohistochemistry, western blot and real-time PCR, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Liver biochemical profile indicated the transplantation of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels could improve the liver function of rats with liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. After cel transplantation, except 1-week cel transplantation group, the expressions of the matrix metaloproteinases-2 mRNA and protein were significantly increased, while the expressions of colagen type I, colagen type III and tissue inhibitor of matrix metaloproteinases-2 mRNA and protein significantly decreased, compared with the corresponding model groups. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels play a role in the treatment of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis through upregulating the expression of matrix metaloproteinases-2 and lowering the expression of inhibitor of matrix metaloproteinases-2. With the continued presence of pathogenic factors, human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation cannot reverse liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, and only delay the process of liver fibrosis or cirrhosis.

Objective:To explore the present situation of medical students' professionalism cognition and provide reference for medical personnel training and medical education.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted on medical students among 2 affiliated hospitals of a medical university in H province by cluster sampling. Exploratory factor analysis and reliability and validity test were carried out and a descriptive analysis of the present situation of professionalism was conducted by SPSS 20.0. Amos21.0 software was used for a confirmatory factor analysis on the samples.Results:The measurement scale had good reliability and validity, and the Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.901. The average professionalism score of the medical students was about 80 points. The score of "physical and mental status and self-development ability" was the highest (83.65 points), and the lowest score was "academic ability" (72.21 points). There was a little difference in the professionalism cognition between the two hospitals, with significant differences between the dimension "respect and care" and "responsibility".Conclusion:This study has initially formed a medical professionalism measurement scale with good reliability and validity. The professionalism of medical students in the 2 affiliated hospitals of a medical school in Province H is in good condition as a whole. In the future, medical education should pay more attention to the combination of basic professional knowledge and clinical practice of medical students, and change the training model of medical students in order to improve the academic ability of medical students and medical students' overall cognition of professionalism.
