ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effectiveness of intralesional glucocorticoid therapy on infantile hemangioma in proliferative stage,and variance of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) expression in the hemangioma tissues.MethodsExperimental group:5 cases were injected with triamcinolone acetonide 3 days before operation,5 cases were done 6 days before operation,5 cases were done 9 days before operation and 5 cases were done 2 weeks before operation(the dose of injection was 1 mg/cm2 per time,but not exceeding 2 mg/kg).Control group:5 infantile hemangioma cases in involuting stage and 5 infantile hemangioma cases in proliferative stage did not received any therapy.The specimen of the hemangioma were collected to detect the expression of VEGF by two-step immunohistochemistry.Every optical slice was detected by 5 campus visualis of high power lens.ResultsObserving the specimen dyed by HE in the light microscope,there was no significant difference between injected group and non-injected group.But by means of immunohistochemistry,the expression of VEGF could been down regulation by the glucocorticoid(F=17.919 1P

Objective To explore the influence of cirrhotic portal hypertension and its complications on liver transplantation. Methods The literatures of the recent years on influence of hepatic cirrhotic portal hypertension on liver transplantation were reviewed. Results Splenomegaly, hypersplenism, portal vein thrombosis, portosystemic shunt and collateral flow in cirrhotic patients will increase the difficulty of liver transplantation and lead to more postoperative complications. Appropriate handling of these conditions can achieve a higher success rate of liver transplantation. Conclusion Correct management of end-stage cirrhotic portal hypertension and its complications can expand the indications of liver transplantation and improve long-term survival rates.

A method for measurement of neutrophil function and opsonic activity by chemiluminescence (CL) was reported in this paper.The factors influencing the emission of CL were discussed. The experimental results suggested that CL depends on the concentration of luminol, the dilution of serum opsonin, the number of neutrophils and the environmental temperature. The optimum conditions defined in present study were: the concentration of luminol was 1?105M, the number of neutrophils 2?106/mml, the reactive temperature 37℃. According to the relationship between CL emission and the bactericidal activity of phagocytizing neutrophils, the measurement of CL may be used as a rapid, simple and usefull tool to determine the funetion of humoral-phagocyte axis.

OBJECTIVE: To obtain and mutate a marine Bacillus megaterium to resolute pharmaceutical intermediate, 3-chloro-1,2-epoxypropane. METHODS: From marine sediment, a 3-chloro-1,2-epoxypropane-resolute strain was isolated and mutated by ultraviolet rays and N+ ion. RESULTS: The strain was identified as Bacillus megaterium on the basis of biophysical and biochemical test. The optimum salinity for growth was 2%, and the result of optimum salinity showed that the microbe was a typical marine microorganism. A positive mutant exhibited excellent resolution with ee value of 99% and yield of 42%. CONCLUSION: The marine bacillus megaterium shows a large potential for industrial production.

It was investigated that the effect of various inducing mediums,times and temperatures on the number of the zoospores from Diasporangium sp.producing polyunsaturated fatty acid of Eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA) and Arachidonic acid(AA).The results showed that the zoospores were detected in various liquid mediums after 1 day,They were globose and about 23.9 ?m in diameter.And maximum number of spores was obtained 6 days after translocation of mycilium to carrot patches at 25℃.But the number of the zoospores was the most 8 days at the same condition.The highest germination rate of the fungus was obtained in the vegetative agar.

Objective: The imaging diagnosis of early liver abscess is difficult. This study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of DWI, T2WI and dynamic enhanced MR imaging for early liver abscess. Methods: DWI, T2WI and dynamic enhanced imaging scans were performed in 17 patients with 17 early liver abscesses. The signal intensities and ADC values of necrotic area, non-necrotic area and normal liver were measured and compared. Results: The ADC value of the necrotic areas of liver abscesses ([0.88±0.09] mm2/s) was significantly lower than those of normal liver ([1.31±0.12] mm2/s,P<0.05) and non-necrotic area of liver abscesses ([1.43±0.18] mm2/ s,P<0.05); there was also significant difference between the ADC values of the normal liver and non-neocrotic area (P<0.05). The necrotic areas had a hyperintensity characteristic on DWI, T2WI and a hypointensity characteristic on T1 WI; no enhancement was found on dynamic enhanced imaging. The non-necrotic areas had moderate hyperintensity on DWI, T2 WI and hypointensity on T1 WI; there was obvious enhancement on dynamic enhanced imaging. Conclusion: The early liver abscess is characterized on magnetic resonance imaging. The DWI scan is helpful for diagnosis of early liver abscess.

Objective: To investigate the value of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP) in the diagnosis of pancreas divisum by comparing with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Methods: The MRCP and ERCP images of 8 patients with pancreas divisum were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnostic accuracy and findings by MRCP were compared with those by ERCP. Results: MRCP had a diagnostic accuracy of 87.5%(7/8) based on the result of ERCP. ERCP displayed the dominant dorsal pancreatic ducts in all 8 cases and ventral pancreatic ducts in 6 cases; MRCP also displayed the dominant dorsal pancreatic ducts in all 8 cases, but the ventral pancreatic ducts only in 3 cases. Conclusion: As a non-invasive technique, MRCP has important clinical value in the diagnosis of pancreas divisum.

Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effects of RNA silencing via adenovirus mediated vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) shRNA on proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods: PCR method was used to construct a pAd Easy/VEGF adenovirus vector containing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene and expressing VEGF shRNA. The 293 cells were transfected with the linearized pAd Easy/VEGF using Lipofectamine2000. Then lung adenocarcinoma cells A459 were transfected with the constructed vector. The EGFP expression was detected by fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. VEGF mRNA expression was examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The cell growth was observed with MTT method and the growth curve was plotted. Meanwhile, nude mice were transplanted with A549 cells to establish tumor models and the growth of tumors were observed. Results: The recombinant pAd-Easy carrying shRNA targeting VEGF had been constructed and the aim sequence had been obtained. The transfection efficiencies in pAd-Easy/VEGF and blank vector transfected A549 cells were 100% and 99.7%, respectively. RT PCR and Western blotting showed a remarkable decrease of VEGF expression in the pAd-Easy/VEGF group compared with normal saline group. The tumor growth in pAd-Easy/VEGF group was obviously slowed down and the weight and volume of tumors were both significantly lower than those of the control group (all P<0.01). Conclusion: The shRNA targeting VEGF constructed in the present study can efficiently decrease the VEGF expression in A549 cells in vitro and suppress the growth of A549 cells in vivo.
