Objective To investigate the management of external iliac artery mycotic hemorrhage after kidney transplantation. Methods A case of external iliac artery mycotic hemorrhage after kidney transplantation managed by the use of hypogastric artery autograft was reported with review of the literature.The massive blooding occurred 3 times after kidney transplantation in a male patient 25 years of age on the 22nd,24th and 38th day after transplantation.The blooding amounted to 800 ml,2500 ml and 3800 ml respectively.The blood loss was replaced and prompt surgical exploration was carried out with the blooding site at the anastomosis sutured up on the 1st and 2nd episode of bleeding.On the 3rd occurrence of bleeding, the diseased external iliac artery segment, about 2cm in length, was resected and the gap was replaced by a 3cm long hypogastric artery autograft. Results The blood flow through the repaired external iliac artery and the blood supply to the lower extremity was adequate.Periodic hemodialysis had been restored and the patient waited for reimplantation. Conclusions External iliac artery mycotic hemorrhage after kidney transplantation is a serious and fatal complication.Simple arterial repair is usually noneffective.Resection of the diseased mycotic segment of the external iliac artery with repairing of the gap with a hypogastric artery autograft is rational,feasible and simple.The procedure is highly recommended.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of syndecan-1 and the prognosis in pancreatic cancer. Methods The data of 30 patients with pancreatic cancer who received radical operations were retrospectively analysed.Immunohistochemical staining was performed,and the expression of syndecan-1 in tumor epithelial cells and stroma was observed by light microscopy.The relationship between immunohistochemical findings and survival was analysed.Results For those with negative,weak positive,moderate positive and strong positive expression of synecan-1 in tumor epithelial cells and stroma,there were significant differences in the case numbers between those survived for 1 to 2 years and those survived for 2 to 4 years(P

Objective To investigate the hemodynamic change of venous leakage in venogenic impotence. Methods Thirty-two patients with vasculogenic impotence were evaluated with conventional penile duplex sonography with spectral analysis and color Doppler imaging after intracavernosal injection of PGE1 to induce an erection.The color Doppler appearance of deep dorsal vein of penis,cavernous veins and bulbourethral vein wen observed and the correlativity with resistance index(RI)of cavernous artery were analyzed. Results After five minutes following intracavernous injection,the flow and diameter of the penis vein were continuous increased.The coefficient correlation r between the discharge of deep dorsal vein of penis,cavernous veins and bulbourethral vein with RI of cavernous artery were-0.55,-0.53,-0.24(P＜0.05).Considering the existence of mixed venous leakage,r between the discharge of vein of penis with RI of cavernous artery was-0.88(P＜0.001).Conclusions Higher qualitative ultrasound imaging could demonstrate venous leakage sensitively and assess the location and degree of venous leakage in venogenic impotence initially.

OBJECTIVETo study the radiosensitizing effect of resveratrol on hypopharyngeal carcinoma cell line FADU in vitro.

METHODSHypopharyngeal carcinoma cell line FADU was cultured in in vitro DMEM. Its inhibition on cell proliferation was detected using cytotoxicity test (MTT assay). The cell survival curve was drawn using clone formation to obtain sensitive enhancement ratio (SER). Changes of the cell cycle and cell apoptosis were analyzed using flow cytometry (FCM).

RESULTSResults of MTT showed the inhibition of resveratrol on FADU cells increased along with its concentrations (P < 0.05). Results of clone formation indicated the surviving fraction at 2 Gy (SF2) was 0.717 ± 0.062 in the irradiation group, and 0.426 ± 0.035 in the resveratrol plus irradiation group (with SER ranged 1.684 ± 0.178) with statistical difference (P = 0.007). Results of FCM showed that after radiation of 4 Gy radiation, cells at G2/M phase arrest increased, but cells at G1 decreased. After radiation of resveratrol for 24 h, cells at G1 decreased, but cells at G2/M phase and S phase arrest increased. When 4 Gy radiation combined resveratrol was used, cells at G2/M phase arrest significantly increased, but cells at G1 significantly decreased. The apoptosis rate was 1.94% ± 1.65% in the control group, 4.56% ± 0.92% in the irradiation group, 2.03% ± 1.46% in the resveratrol group, and 23.11% ± 7.22% in the resveratrol plus irradiation group. There was statistical difference between the resveratrol plus irradiation group and the rest 3 groups (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONResveratrol could enhance the radiosensitivity of hypopharyngeal carcinoma FADU cells in vitro possibly by inducing cell apoptosis and causing changes in the cell cycle distribution.

Objective To investigate the management and prevention of the complications of sigmoid rectal pouch for urinary division after radical cystectomy. Methods The clinical data of 34 patients who underwent a sigmoid rectal pouch procedure were analyzed retrospectively, and the clinical experience was summarized in the management and prevention of the complications of sigmoid rectal pouch for diversion. Results Twenty-six patients were followed up for 2 months to 11 years, and 10 patients lost in follow-up. The early follow-up results were as follows:3 patients had postoperative high fever with unilateral the kidney water, 1 patient had retropubic bleeding and need to stop bleeding, 3 patients suffered from wound split open and were performed relaxation suture, and 1 patient had sigmoid colon rectum bladder fistula 10d after operation. The late follow-up results were as follows:1 patient had urethral neoplasms recurrence, 5 patients developed distance metastases, and 5 patients developed nocturnal incontinence and worn safety pad. There were no hyperchloremic acidosis requiring clinical treatment, hydronephrosis as well as retrograde pelvis infection. Conclusions The operation of sigmoid rectal pouch for urinary division is fairly simple, with no serious complication. It is a better alternative diversion procedure, and should be accepted gradually by patients and surgeons.

The DNA fragment sized 2 139bp, the same Sequence with AtKup1 gene from Arabidopsis thalianna was used as the templates for DNA family shuffling. The shuffeld AtKup1 gene library was expressed in the mutant of 5. cerevisae in which potassium transporter gene TRK1 and TRK2 were knocked out by homologous recombination. Then the screening was carried out in the low potassium media containing 5. 0 mmol/L KC1 and no histidine in it. it was found that both of diverse and wild AtKup1 gene can rescues the trk1△trk2△yeast mutant strain in low [ K + ] medium. The growth of 2 clones yeast containing diverse AtKup1 were beter than that of AtKup1 wild gene transformant. The sequencig results of the shuffeld AtKup1 showed that there were 2 nucleotide changed, which resulted in 2 amino acid variations in it compared with the original AtKup1. The potassium uptaking capacity of shuffled AtKup1 gene increased significantly when it was transformed into tobacco.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasonically activated hematoporphyrin on ultrastructure of ehrlich ascites tumor(EAT) cells and to evaluate the potential mechanism of action inducing this cytotoxicity. Methods EAT cells in vitro were exposed to ultrasound at 2^0?MHz and 1^5?W/cm+2 for 3?min in the presence or absence of hematoporphyrin.The changes of ultrastructure of sample preparation for different time were observed by transmission electron microscope. Results The degree of destruction of treated EAT cells was enhanced with the increasing of time for the sample preparation.The sites destroyed mainly involved cell membrane,mitochondrion,endoplasmic reticulum and cell nuclei.Furthermore,morphoiogical characters of ultrasound-activated hematoporphyrin induced apoptosis were observed on EAT cells.Conclusion The killing of tumor cells was ascribed mainly to the damage of ultrastructure induced by ultrasound in combined with hematoporphyrin,apoptosis was also induced during ultrasound and hematoporphyrin killing process.;
