Radical resection is one of the important factors for improving the prognosis of patients with resectable carcinoma of head of the pancreas,carcinoma of the distal bile duct and periampullary carcinoma.In order to proceed with a R0 resection,there are many types of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic,biliary and periampullary carcinoma such as PD with lymphadenectomy.In this report,we described a PD with extended retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy (D2 +) for the adenocarcinoma of the distal bile duct.The case presented underscores the feasibility and safety of PD with D2 + lymphadenectomy.

OBJECTIVE:To assess the stability of the quality control of FPIA for monitoring of CsA and MEIA for monitoring of FK506.METHODS:The quality control on the blood samples of patients receiving therapeutic drug monitoring of CsA and FK506 from June to August in 2007 were subjected to a continual assessment and analysis to investigate the stability and accuracy of the quality control.RESULTS:The mean recoveries of the low,middle and high concentrations of CsA and FK506 were 93.14%～97.65% and 97.70%～103.09% respectively,with RSD at 4.41%～5.37% and 10.44%～14.23% respectively,which accorded with the requirement for biological sample determination stated in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.CONCLUSION:The methods of FPIA for monitoring of CsA and MEIA for monitoring of FK506 were accurate,and worth to be applied in clinical to guide individualized medication.

Objective: To discuss the treatment of pancreatic encephalopathy(PE).Methods: Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH)(Saizen)were applied in patients of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) with suspicious early PE that presented with mental disorders. rhGH was also used in combination with somatostatin as the therapeutic method for SAP and its complication.Dosage and administration: Saizen 4U was injected intramuscularly twice a day for 5～7 days.Results: In 7 patients of this group, all of them showed improvement in the aspect of mental dysfunction and the symptoms disappeared after 48～72 hours. In 13 SAP cases underwent combined application of rhGH and somatostatin, no PE was observed.Conclusion: Application of rhGH showed therapeutic effect on the early manifestations of PE. It also suggested that combined use of rhGH and somatostatin could decrease the occurance of PE.

Objective To analyze the etiology and clinical feature of pi t uitary apoplexy.Methods The clinical data from 18 cases of pitui tary apoplexy were analyzed retrospectively.Results Main symptom s were headache in 12 cases and decreased visual acuity in 12 cases.Positive si ghs were temporal hemianopisia in 6 cases,unequal pupil in 3 cases,oculomotor ne rve(Ⅲ) paralysis in 2 cases and abducent nerve (Ⅵ) paralysis in 2 cases.Imagin g examinations showed CT positive finding in 4 cases and MRI positive finding in 6 cases.Tumor diameter was longer than 2 cm in 13 cases and less than 2 cm in 5 cases.Chromophobe pituitary tumor was found in 11 cases.All cases received surg ical operation.Conclusion Clinical features of pituitary tumor a poplexy are atypical,of which headache and visual acuity decrease are the main s ymptoms.Most cases occur suddenly or primary symptoms are deteriorated suddenly. CT and MRI positive findings are helpful for diagnosis.

Objective To explore the effect of lysolecithin choline (LPC) on blood-brain barrier(BBB) permeability in rats with acute pancreatitis. Methods Acute pancreatitis rat model was produced and rats were randomly divided into:(1)Test group-AP, rats received LPC by tail vein injection; (2)control group I, AP rats were given normal saline by tail vein injection; (3)control group II, sham operation without AP, but LPC was given by tail vein injection.Horseradish peroxidase(HRP) was used as a tracer to determine BBB permeability 7~10 days later.Results The test group showed local extravascular effusion of HRP, indicating that BBB permeability was markedly increased,while both control groups showed no apparent increase of BBB permeability,which were statistically significant(P

Objective To establish an influencing factors system for the implementation effect of the vertical integration of services between the hospitals and community health service institutions.Methods Primary data related to influencing indicators were collected by literature review,questionnaire method and in-depth interview,and then the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Delphi method were used for the construction of final influencing factors indicator system.Results An influencing factors indicator system which coincides with the status of the vertical integration between hospitals and community health service institutions in Nanjing,Wuhan and Zhenjiang was established,including 4 firstlevel indicators,10 second-level indicators and 36 third-level indicators.Conclusion This study can provide a basis for hospitals and community health centers to improve the integration service system,and fill the gap of research on the influencing factors of the vertical integration of the domestic health care system,which are meaningful for the vertical integration of health care system in other districts and patterns.

BACKGROUND: There have been no effective means for clinical treatment of large regions of bone defects.Nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen(nHAC)composite would provide a new pathway for repair of bone defects owing to its similar structure to natural skeleton and better biocompatibility.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of nHAC composite co-cultured with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)in repair of bone defects.METHODS: Following isolation and culture,human BMSCs were co-cultured with nHAC composite.Gross observation,histological analysis,and electron microscope observation were performed to analyze osteogenesis for repair of bone defects in the clinic.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Human nHAC could greatly proliferate in vitro.X-ray photography revealed that bone defects well healed after implantation of nHAC/BMSCs composite.These findings indicate that BMSCs exhibit osteogenic potential and nHAC is a satisfactory scaffold material for construction of tissue-engineered bone.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of the extract of ginkgo biloba on myocardial tissue in aged rat.Methods The rats aged 20 months were given the extract of ginkgo biloba (EGB) and ALT-711 respectively by garage for 16 weeks.The aged controls and adult rats were infused with the same volume saline.The superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), malonyt diadehyde (MDA) in blood samples and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the myocardial tissue were measured .The myocardial histopathological changes under electron microscope and the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletion rate in myocardial cells were observed.Results Compared with the adult rats, the content of AGEs in myocardial cells in aged rats was significantly increased [(33.5±1.3)AU/mgHYP us.(18.1±1.2)AU/mgHYP, t= 7.18,P<0.05] and the levels of SOD and GSH-PX in blood samples were decreased [(138.4±3.8) U/mlvs.(227.7±13.8)U/ml, (1283.8±28.8) U/ml vs.(2114.1 ±135.9)U/ml, t=-19.59, -18.79;both P<0.01].The MDA level in the serum and mtDNA deletion rate in aged rats were higher than in adult rats[(6.7±0.6) mmol/ml vs.(4.1±1.0) mmol/ml, (0.18054±0.0718) % vs.( 0.0060±0.0001)%, t=7.18,6.98;both P<0.05].Compared with the aged controls, the content of AGEs in myocardial cells, the level of MDA and mtDNA deletion rate were significantly decreased in EGB and ALT-711 treatment adults (all P<0.05).The SOD and GSH-PX in blood samples were increased in EGB and ALT-711 treatment adults (all P<0.05).Conclusions Nonenzymatic glycation may play an important role in myocardial aging, which may be amplified by oxidative stress.EGB and ALT-711 may have the same anti-aging effects by inhibiting nonenzymatic glycation and oxidative stress.
