Objective To investigate the effect of liver function with portal vein occlusion (PVO) in various phases and the following restoration portal vein flow on intestinal mucosal cells. Methods Twenty-four healthy adults white Japanese rabbits were randomized into 1 control group and 2 experimental groups (according to portal vein clamping for 30 min and 45 min). Each experimental group's blood samples were collected from caval vein 1 h before operation, by the end of portal vein oc-cluded, 30 min, 60 rain after relief of portal vein blocking, then with restoration of portal vein flow for 2 h and rabbit guts were continuously cut to sections for HE, TUNEL staining and Bcl-2, Bax protein immunohistochemical staining to observe the injury of intestinal mucosa cell apoptosis and the relation-ship between the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax. The levels of blood glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (ALT), glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (AST) were measured and compared. Results The levels of ALT, AST in the control group did not significantly change. Compared with control group, group B did not change significantly with PVO 30 rnin in liver enzyme and they were significantly increased after portal vein occlusion relief. The levels of ALT and AST were increased obviously at 45 min with PVO, then raised again. Down-regulation of Bcl-2 expression, up-regulation of Bax expression and the increased index of apoptotic cell were found in each experimental group. Conclusion It may be more safe with PVO for 30 min. But the following restoration portal vein flow will bring about ischemia-reperfusion injury that is mainly apoptosis in the small intestine. The index of apoptosis will be raised with time prolongation of PVO.

Objective To propose a rational clinical classification of gallstone pancreatitis for better guide and select clinical treatment scheme. Methods On the basis of severity of pancreatitis and the presence or absence of biliary obstruction, 273 cases of gallstone pancreatitis were classified into four types: non obstructive mild type (type Ⅰ) , obstructive mild type (type Ⅱ) , obstructive severe type (type Ⅲ) , non obstructive severe type (type Ⅳ). Moreover, according to the presence or absence of common bile duct stone, every type was further classified into two subtypes: subtype a and subtype b. Then, the results of clinical classification, treatment methods and prognosis were analyzed. Results Ⅰa subtype: 34 cases, Ⅰ b subtype: 112 cases; Ⅱ a subtype; 59 cases, Ⅲ subtype; 11 cases; Ⅲa subtype; 6 cases, Ⅲ b subtype: 4 cases; Ⅳa subtype: 3 cases, Ⅳb subtype: 44 cases. The overall mortality was 3.3% (9/273) , the mortality in Ⅰ type, Ⅱ type, Ⅲ type or Ⅳ type was 0, 0, 10% (1/10), 17.0% (8/47), respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The mortality of Ⅳ type in early operation group, traditional non-operative group, and regional intra-arterial infusion group was 30. 8% (4/13) , 25% (3/12) , 4. 5% (1/22) , respec tively. The mortality of regional intra-arterial infusion group was significantly lower than those in other two groups (P<0.05). Conclusions This 4 types and 2 subtypes classification method of gallstone pancreatitis was rational. The treatment efficacy may be improved according to the clinical classification. However, attention shall be paid to the transformation of these clinical types.

Objective To investigate the effect of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) on proliferation and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and the possible mechanism involved.Methods The HSC was isolated by optiprep method.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay was used to detect the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.The effect of invasion was measured with transwell assay.Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were detected by Western blotting.Results HSC was isolated and cultured successfully.HSC promoted the proliferation and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells (proliferation:0.571 ±0.024 vs 0.803 ±0.048,1.271 ±0.044,1.973 ±0.036; invasion:25.2 ± 1.9 vs 35.8 ±3.3,44.4 ±2.7,53.9 ±3.6) (P ＜0.05).MMP-2 (1.32 ±0.22 vs 2.46 ±0.39) and NF-κB(0.85 ±0.09 vs 1.44 ±0.21) were increased obviously in hepatocellular carcinoma cells stimulated by HSC.Conclusions HSC can promote the proliferation and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.The mechanism might be related to up-regulation of the expressions of MMP-2 and NF-κB.

Objective To investigate the influence of low bilirubin level on hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in vitro. Methods HSCs were isolated and cultured from the liver of SD rats. The effect of bilirubin in different concentration on reactive oxygen in HSCs was determined by DCFH-DA kit. The proliferation of HSCs was tested by CCK-8 test kit.Smoothmuscle α-actin (α-SMA) expression of HSCs was tested by Western blot.The apoptosis of HSCs was tested by flow cytometry.The fibrosis-related genes were tested by PCR. Results HSCs were isolated and cultured successfully.Bilirubin in low concentration (0,1,10,20 mg/L) inhibited the generation of the reactive oxygen.Proliferation and α-SMA expression of HSCs was inhibited by bilirubin (0.624 ± 0.092,0.536 ± 0.127,0.407 ± 0.033,0.399 ± 0.022,F =13.454,P ＜0.05 ; 339 ± 2,336 ± 10,246 ± 7,242 ± 5,3.7 ± 0.3,F =191.107,P ＜ 0.05 ) and the apoptosis of HSCs was promoted by bilirubin(2.69 ±0.07％,2.95 ±0.10％,4.41 ±0.22％,4.91 ±0.86％,F =34.731,P ＜0.05 ).Bilirubin in low concentration changed the expression of fibrosis-related genes in HSCs.The ratio of TIMP-1mRNA/MMP-2mRNA decreased (54 ± 2,65 ± 2,47 ± 2,44 ± 2,F =73.400,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Bilirubin in low concentration inhibits the proliferation and activation of hepatic stellate cells,orobablv bv a mechanism in which bilirubin promoted antioxidative function.

Objective To investigate the Fsp27 gene's influence on the regulation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in vitro.Methods HSCs were isolated from rat liver,the Fsp27 gene was detected in primary HSCs,and activated HSCs were detected by RT-qPCR.After 72 h of Fsp27 transduction through a lentivirus expressing Fsp27 (pLV-Fsp27),the proliferation of HSCs was tested by the CCK-8 test kit,smooth muscle α-actin (α-SMA) expression of HSCs was tested by Western blot,and the fibrosis-related genes were tested by RT-qPCR.Results The HSCs were isolated and cultured successfully,and the Fsp27 genetic difference between primary and activated HSCs was significant (P＜0.01).After coculture for 72 h,Fsp27 inhibited the proliferation and activation of HSCs (P＜0.05).Fsp27 can enhance expression of the MMP-2 gene and down-regulate expression of the TIMP-1 and TGF-β1 gene in activated HSCs (P＜0.05).Conclusion The Fsp27 gene can inhibit the proliferation and activation of HSCs,regulate the expression of fibrosis-related genes,and may play an important role in maintaining the quiescent phenotype of HSCs.

Objectives In this retrospective study we investigated the causes of misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment of hepatic cholangiocarcinoma and ways helpful in the improvement of correct diagnosis.Methods There were altogether pathollgy proved 40 cases of hepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The preoperative diagnostic procedures and surgical measurcs adopted were reviewed. Results The primary misdiagnosis rate was 68%. Patients were misdiagnosed as cholelithiasis complicated by intrahepatic inflammatory mass, hepatic abscess, hepatic hydrocyst, and hepatic adenoma;The surgical procedure performed were: choledocholithotomy, hepatophyma incision drainage or liver puncture drainage on B mode ultrasound localization, and hepatic cyst fenestration. Conclusions The hepatic cholangiocarcinoma can mimic many other benign diseases leading to misdiagnosis and improper surgery. Hence clinical features,history and laboratory evidence characteristic of the cancer must be sought preoperatively and intraoperative biopsy should be taken before definite surgical procedure. [
