Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) can effectively treat symptomatic carotid stenosis, however, perioperative stroke is the most important complication of CEA. The microemboli generated before and after the operation are the most important reason for causing perioperative stroke. In addition, the hypoperfusion and postoperative hyperperfusion syndrome caused by intraoperative clipping of carotid artery, as well as carotid restenosis or occlusion after CEA are all the causes of perioperative stroke. As a non-invasive, real-time monitoring tool, transcranial Doppler (TCD) can be widely used in intraoperative monitoring of CEA, It is able to detect a variety of perioperative blood flow changes and the production of microemboli, and thus effectively predicts the occurrence of perioperative stroke, and decreases the risks of perioperative stroke.

Sarcopenia is a major clinical characteristic of cancer cachexia .The main pathophysiologic mechanism of sarcopenia related to cancer cachexia is abnormality between anabolic and catabolic pathways of muscle mediated by chronic inflammation .The major treatments for sarcopenia in cancer cachexia currently in-clude hormone therapy , nutrition support , exercise therapy , and other medications , which could not effectively prevent muscle loss or enhance muscle function .Better understanding of the pathogenetic processes of cancer cachexia-related sarcopenia may help in finding targets for an effective therapy .

Objective To evaluate the actual mismatch risk for KIR genes,KIR ligand HLA-C gene and KIR ligand HLA-Bw4I80 related genes in kidney transplant recipients and their donors.Method KIR genes,KIR ligand HLA-C gene and KIR ligand HLA-Bw4I80 related genes were analyzed in 322 recipients and their donors who received kidney transplantation.The effect of mismatches on acute rejection after transplantation was studied as well.Result In 322 cases of recipients and their donors,average mismatch risk for KIR-L gene was 4.73％,9.10％ for KIR-S gene and 1.95％ for KIR ligand HLA-C gene respectively.There were 245 cases (76.09％) of KIR ligand HLA-Bw4I80 related genes mismatch and 77 cases (23.91 ％) of match resepctively.There was no statistically significant difference in AR rate between KIR ligand HLA-Bw4I80 related genes mismatch group and match group (8.16％ in 245 vs.7.79％ in 77) (P＞0.05).AR reversal rate in mismatch group and match group was 95.0％ and 66.7％ (P＞0.05).Conclusion The mismatch risk for KIR ligand HLA-Bw4I80 related genes was even common between kidney transplant recipients and their donors,and this specific mismatch may be of benefit to patients who undergo actuate rejection.Further study is still required.

Objective To investigate sexual function in male kidney transplant recipients and their offsprings health condition.Methods We studied 60 male kidney transplant recipients who had a normal sex life before kidney failure and had good renal graft function after transplant.The questionnaire was used to investigate the time of first spermatorrhea,viability of sex activities,frequency and sexual intercourse satisfaction of sex activities,procreation status,growth and intelligence status of the offspring.Semen routine tests before and after the transplantation were done.Results Hyposexuality or declined sexual function was found in all over 60 cases of recipients.And after surgery,sexual function of the recipients was improved obviously following the graft function gradually regained.Fifty-four patients had spermatorrhea in the first 1-3 months post-transplantation,and rest 6 cases had no spermatorrhea because of sexual life.After operation 56 male patients began to have sex life in 2-4 months with satisfaction rate of 86.7％ (52/60),except the other 4 cases who refused sex life due to worrying about graft damage by sex life.Sixty-eight children were born by 56 recipients after operation,and the growth and intelligence status had no significant difference from the children of the same age.No transplant graft failure or rejection was found after the recipients had children.Conclusion After kidney transplantation,the sexual function of male recipients could return to the normal status and the growth and intelligence status of the offspring is normal.

Objective To discuss the imaging manifestations and clinical characteristics of Askin tumor.Methods 12 cases of Askin tumor confirmed by surgically and histopathologically were included in this study.The MSCT signs and clinical data were summarized.Results In 12 cases of Askin tumor,7 cases located in the chest wall;7 case were hospitalised with rapid enlargementd painful lump(58.3%,7/12).9 cases were performed surgery and postoperative radio chemotherapy,6 patients experienced metastatic or recurrent tumors during the following year(66.7%,6/9).Askin tumor often occurred in the chest-lung junction region,had the diameters of 2.0-13.0 cm,11 cases showed inhomogeneous density (91.7%,11/12), 1 case showed calcification (8.3%,1/12), ill-defined margin(100%,12/12),12 cases showed intense but inhomogeneous enhancement following contrast administrationin (100%,12/12),11 cases had the feature of pleura invasion (91.7%,11/12), 9 cases with pleural effusion(75.0%,9/12), 1 case with swollen lymph nodes in mediastinum(8.3%,1/12), and 4 cases with lytic lesion of adjacent bone(33.3%,4/12).Conclusion Askin tumor often occurrs in the chest-lung junction region with rapid enlargementd painful lump as the primary symptom;the tumor show the infiltration diffuse growth;calcification and adjacent lymph node metastasis is not very common.

6 hours). The APACHE Ⅱ and POSSUM scoring system during perioperative period was in positive correlation with postoperative morbidity and mortality. Conclusions Pancreatoduodenectomy for the treatment of periampullary carcinomas is with high risks. Postoperative mortality and morbidity were in close correlation with the risk factors.

Objective To compare the protective effect of colloidal bismuth subcitrate-1 (CBS-1, Lizudele), or colloidal bismuth subcitrate-2 (CBS-2, De-Nol) and sucralfate against gastric mucosal lesion and to investigate their mechanisms. Methods Gastric mucosal injury of rats was induced by ethanol, stress, aspirin and hydrochloric acid. Gastric ulcer was then induced by 50% acetic acid applied to the gastric tunica serosa. We observed the protective effects against gastric mucosal lesion and measured the injury index and the area of ulcer in each group. Statistical t test was used to compare the difference of each group. Results (1)CBS-1, CBS-2, and sucralfate had protective effect against lesions caused by ethanol, stress, aspirin and hydrochloric acid and could promote acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer healing. (2) The mechanisms of protective effect and ulcer healing promotion were that these drugs could increase gastric blood flow and increase activities of QR, GST and GR, and could also promote overexpression of bFGF mRNA and iNOS mRNA. Conclusion Gastric mucosal protective drugs, CBS and sucralfate had effect of resisting injury and promoting ulcer healing. The mechanisms were that they could increase gastric mucosal blood flow and the expression of bFGF mRNA and iNOS mRNA, and reduce oxygen free radical.
