Objective To improve the diagnosis and surgical management of pulmonary aspergilloma.Methods Twenty-four patients underwent surgical treatment for pulmonary aspergilloma were enrolled in our study from April 2005 to May 2012 at the second hospital of Xiamen.The information of all cases was recorded.Results There were 18 males and 6 females in all subjects,and their age ranged from 22 to 67 year.The surgical outcome were 15 lobectomies,3 segmentectomies or wedge resections,1 right upper and middle lobectomy,1 radical debridement,4 pneumonectomy.Results There was no preoperative mortality.Seven cases (29.2%) developed complications in this series including 1 postoperative bleeding,1 bleeding during operation,2 pulmonary infection,1 bronchial fistula,1 pulmonary reexpansion insufficiency,1 wound infection.Conclusion Surgical resection of pulmonary lesion is the most effective method for pulmonary aspergilloma.Moreover strengthening the perioperative management could decrease the morbidity and mortality.

Objective:To explore the effect of sulforaphane (SFN) preconditioning on the cold myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in the rats through PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.Methods:Sixty-four health male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into cold IRI group,SFN group,LY (LY294002) + cold IRI group,and LY+SFN group (n=16).The allogeneic heterotopic heart transplantation model was established by donor heart into recipient abdomen.The myocardium tissue was taken 24 h after reperfusion for the detection of histological changes using HE staining.The expression levels of Akt,p-Akt,Bax and Bcl-2 proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western boltting methods.Results:The morphological results showed that the myocardium tissue damage was serious in cold IRI group and LY+cold IRI group,it was light in SFN group;the myocardium tissue damage of the rats in SFN+ LY group was ranged between cold IRI group and SFN group.Compared with IRI group,the expression levels of p-Akt protein and Bcl-2 protein in SFN group were increased (P<0.05),and the expression level of Bax protein was decreased (P<0.05).After treatment of blockage LY294002,compared with LY-+-cold IRI group,the expression level of p-Akt protein in LY-+-SFN group was not statistically significant (P>0.05),the expression level of Bcl2 protein was increased (P<0.05),the expression levels of Bax protein was decreased),and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was also increased (P<0.05).Conclusion:SFN may attenuate cold IRI of heart transplantation through PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in the rats.

Objective To investigate the role of the p75 neurotrophic receptor (p75 NTR) in the cognitive impairment induced by laparotomy surgery of aged mice,and to explore the possible mechanism.Methods Thirty eighteen-month-old male mice were equally randomized into three groups (n=10):control group,surgery group,surgery+TAT group.Open field test was performed 5 days after the surgery to record the exploration distance and the time in the center.Fear-conditioned training was performed 6 days after the surgery,and fear-conditioned test was performed 7 days after the surgery to record the freezing time.The hippocampus was harvested immediately after the behavioral test.Western blot was applied to detect the levels of p75NTR,BDNF,PSD95,TrkB and pCREB in the hippocampus,immunofluorescence was applied to detect the number of caspase-3 positive cells in the hippocampus,and Golgi staining was applied to observe the changes of dendritic spines in hippocampal CA-1 region.Results In the open field test,the total distance and the time in the center had no significant difference among the three groups (P>0.05).In the fear conditioning test,compared with control group,the percentage of the contextual conditional freezing time decreased significantly in surgery group (P<0.05),and the expressions of BDNF,PSD95,TrkB and pCREB and the number of dendritic spines in CA-1 were significantly decreased (P<0.05),the expression of p75NTR and the number of caspase-3 positive cells were increased significantly in the surgery group (P<0.05).Compared with the surgery group,the percentage of the contextual conditional freezing time increased significantly in surgery+TAT group,and the expressions of BDNF,PSD95,TrkB,and pCREB and the number of dendritic spines in CA-1 were significantly increased,the number of caspase-3 positive cells were decreased significantly in the surgery+TAT group (P<0.05).Conclusion Hippocampal p75 NTR plays a key role in the pathophysiology of POCD.
