Objective:To study the influencing factors in predicting conversion of laparoscopic liver tumor resection to open surgery to provide references for selection of patients for laparoscopic hepatectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 222 patients who were planned to undergo laparoscopic liver tumor resection at Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital from December 2015 to November 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 146 males and 76 females, with an average age of 58.1 years. These patients were divided into the conversion group ( n=24) and the laparscopic group ( n=198) according to whether intraoperative conversion to open surgery was carried out. Chi-square test was used to evaluate relevant factors of conversion. Logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis and to find out independent risk factors of conversion. Results:The conversion rate was 10.8% (24/222). Univariate analysis showed that hypertension, history of abdominal surgery, liver cirrhosis, tumors located at posterosuperior segments and major liver resection were significantly associated with conversion (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the risk factors which were independently associated with conversion were liver cirrhosis ( OR=2.611, 95% CI: 1.018-6.701), tumors located at posterosuperior segments ( OR=6.115, 95% CI: 2.207-16.941), and major liver resection ( OR=3.361, 95% CI: 1.150-9.825)(all P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients who were planned for laparoscopic liver tumor resection with liver cirrhosis, tumors at posterosuperior segments or major liver resection were at higher risks of conversion to open surgery.

Objective To construct and identify recombinant expression plasmid of small interfering RNA (siRNA)targeting hepatitis B virus X protein(HBx), and observe its effect on mitoehondrial function in healthy liver cell line steadily expressed HBx gene (HL-7702/HBx). Methods Two siRNA sequences containing short hairpin structure, which target on the total length HBx gene, were synthesized and cloned into the vector psiRNA-Hh1GFPzeo to eonstruct recombinant expression plasmids pX1 and pX2. Non-specific recombinant pScr plasmid served as control. After siRNA transfected into HL-7702/HBx cells line by liposome, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot were performed to identify the suppressive effect on HBx expression. Levels of intraeellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (△ m) were determined by flow cytometry. The experimental results were compared by analysis of variance. Results Successful constructions of pX1 and pX2 were confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing. The expressions of HBx mRNA and protein after 48 h of transfection into HL-7702/HBx cells in control group were 0.65± 0.12 and 0.62± 0.09, respectively, which were both higher than those (0.33±0.10 and 0.19±0.08, respectively) in group pX1 (t=4.73, P<0.05; t=7.53, P<0.05) and those (0.48±0.10 and 0.37±0.11, respectively) in group pX2 (t=2.39, P<0.05;t=4.43,P<0.05). But the inhibition of group pX1 was stronger than that of pX2 (t=2.28,P<0.05). Levels of ROS and △ m after RNA interference were 5.00±0.38 and 33.86±0.50, respectively, while those in control group were 72. 10±0. 55 and 3. 57±0.26, respectively (ROS: t=276.22, P<0.05; △ m: t=107.15, P<0.05). Conclusions siRNA targeting HBx can efficiently and specifically suppress the HBx expression in HL-7702/HBx cells, and decrease the level of ROS and increase the level of △ m, thus relieve cellular oxidative stress.

Objective To analyze the preoperative related factors of early weaning of infants with congenital heart disease after operation. Methods From January ,2014 to January ,2017 in Pediatric Cardiology CICU , infants with congenital heart disease were selected as research objects. The clinical data were retrospectively collect ed and the relationship between preoperative influencing factors and postoperative early weaning were analyzed. Early weaning meant mechanical ventilation time was shorter than 24 h and late weaning meant longer than 24 h. Results Single factor analysis showed that early weaning success rate was related to preoperative cardiac function grade 1,NNIS grade 0~1,ASA grade 1,no lung infection and no or mild pulmonary hypertension(average P<0.05). Non conditional logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative heart function grade 1 was an indepen-dent influencing factor,with OR value(95%CI)of 3.9(1.9~7.7). Conclusions In infants with congenital heart disease,preoperative heart function grade 1,NNIS grade 0 ~ 1 ,ASA grade 1,no lung infection and no or mild pulmonary hypertension benefit early withdrawing of ventilator and preoperative cardiac function grade 1 is an inde-pendent factor for early weaning.

Objective:
To compare the outcome of radiofrequency catheter ablation under local anesthesia/sedation (S) or general anesthesia(GA) in atrial fibrillation patients.
Methods:
Data of 498 patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation in our departmentfrom January 2014 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Two hundred and twenty patients assigned to the GA group, the other 278 patients to the S group. Patients were followed clinically every 3 months within one year after procedure. Immediate electrocardiogram was performed in patients with palpitation or choking sensation in chest. The end point of the study was recurrence of any atrial tachyarrhythmia lasting >30 seconds in device interrogation, 24-hour Holter monitoring or 12-lead electrocardiogram after a single procedure. After the ablation procedure, a blanking period of 3 months was allowed according to the guidelines.

ObjectiveMolecular docking and animal experiments were employed to explore the protective effect and mechanism of Da Chengqitang (DCQD) on intestinal barrier in septic mice. MethodText mining method was used to screen the active ingredients in DCQD. AutoDock Tools and Discovery Studio were used to study the interactions of active components with the core target proteins [claudin-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, endogenous antimicrobial peptide mCRAMP, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88)] in sepsis. Fifty C57BL/6 mice were randomized into sham, model, low- and high-dose (4 g∙kg-1 and 8 g∙kg-1) DCQD, and ulinastatin groups (n=10). Before, during, and after the day of modeling surgery, each group was administrated with corresponding drugs. The mice in other groups except the model group were subjected to modeling by cecal ligation and puncture. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used measure the serum level of D-lactic acid to assess intestinal mucosa permeability. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe the histopathological changes in the ileum and assess the intestinal mucosal damage and inflammatory infiltration. Western blotting was employed to determine the expression levels of tight junction proteins claudin-1 and occludin in the ileal tissue, which were indicative of the bowel barrier function. The TNF-α and IL-6 levels were measured by ELISA to assess the intestinal inflammation. The expression of mCRAMP in the ileal tissue was observed by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA levels of mCRAMP, TLR4, and MyD88 in mouse ileal tissue were determined by Real-time polymerase chain reaction, on the basis of which the mechanism of DCQD in protecting the intestinal barrier of septic mice was explored. ResultMolecular docking results showed that most of the 10 active ingredients of DCQD that were screened out by text mining could bind to sepsis targets by van der Waals force, hydrogen bonding, and other conjugated systems. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the model group, low- or high-dose DCQD lowered the D-lactic acid level in the serum (P<0.01), alleviated damage to the ileal tissue and mucosal edema, protected the small intestine villus integrity, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, promoted the expression of claudin-1 (P<0.01), lowered the IL-6 level (P<0.01), up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of mCRAMP (P<0.01), and down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of TLR4 and MyD88 (P<0.01) in the ileal tissue. In addition, high-dose DCQD lowered the TNF-α level and promoted the expression of occludin in the ileum tissue (P<0.01), and low-dose DCQD up-regulated the protein level of occludin in the ileum tissue (P<0.05). ConclusionDCQD has a protective effect on intestinal barrier in septic mice. It can reduce intestinal inflammation, repair intestinal mucosal damage, improve the tight junction protein level, and reduce intestinal mucosal permeability by up-regulating the mRNA and protein levels of mCRAMP and the down-regulating the expression of genes in the TLR4/MyD88 pathway.
