Objective To construct human canstatin gene eukaryotic expression vector and investigate the therapeutic effect of intramuscular canstatin gene delivered by electroporation on tumor growth.Methods Canstatin cDNA was amplified from total RNA extracted from fresh fetal liver by reversing transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The canstatin cDNA fragment was in serted into pEGFP-N1 eukaryotic expression vector.The recombination plasmid was delivered to the quadriceps of the mice with Lewis lung carcinomas by electroporation intramuscular.Fluorescence intension measured by fluorescence microscope,reverse-PCR assay,and immunohistochemistry assay were performed to detect the expression of canstatin gene in the muscle and in circulation.The tumor weight and volume were used to detect the biological effects of canstatin gene delivery.Results Recombinant eukaryotic expression vector of recombinant human canstatin was successfully constructed.The canstatin mRNA was significantly increased in the skeletal muscle and intramuscular delivery of canatatin gene by electroporation acquired the expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)/canstatin protein in the circulation and significantly inhibited tumor growth.The percent of the inhibition of tumor weight was 57.7 ％.Conclusions Electroporation mediated gene transfer efficiency in skeletal muscle was compared to simple plasmid injection and lasted for a long time.It was an efficient and safe,convenient and economic,gene transfer methods and might have certain clinical application value.Electroporation mediated canstatin gene transfer in skeletal muscle had obvious inhibitory effect on Lewis lung cancer in mice subcutaneous xenograft tumor growth.

ObjectiveTo approach the value of diagnosis with the 256-slice spiral CT in severe tetralogy of Fallot of infant.MethodsFrom January 2008 to December 2010,48 cases (severe tetralogy of Fallot of infant) were examined with 256-slice spiral CT preoperatively.All cases were then analyzed in workspace with maximum intensity projection(MIP),multiplanar reconstruction(MPR) and volume rendering (VR),while compared with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and surgical results.Results CT examination found that TTE misdiagnosis 4 cases of patent ductus arteriosus and 6 cases of aortic coarctation.Meanwhile,CT showed 6 aorta pulmonary collateral arteries in 5 cases.In 48 cases,surgical results confirmed 47 cases by 256-shce spiral CT,while 33 cases by TTE.The diagnosis accuracy rate of 256-slice spiral CT and TTE was 97.9％ (47/48) and 68.8％ (33/48) respectively.There was statistically significant difference of the two inspections in diagnostic accuracy (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionThe inspection of 256-slice spiral CT can benefit the preoperative diagnosis and operation program in severe tetralogy of Fallot of infant.

Objective To investigate the value of gradient echo T2'* -weighted imaging for detection of familial cerebral cavernous malformation (FCCM). Methods Twenty-six members in 2 families of FCCM were examined at 3.0 T by using CT, conventional MRI and GRE T2'*2'-WI sequences to detect numbers of FCCM. Results Twelve cases of FCCM were found by GRE T2'*-WI sequences. These patients all had multiple lesions(average of 23). The lesions were mainly located in ganglia area, followed by cortico-subcortical, thalamus, cerebellar and brain stem. These lesions appeared as special reticulated core of mixed signal intensity with a surrounding rim of decreased signal intensity representing bemosiderin from previous hemorrhages. The numbers of lesions (average of 5-17) and cases of FCCM (average of 3-9) examined by the conventional MRI were decreasing in the order of SE, DWI, T2FLAIR, T1WI and T2WI, each less than GRE T2'*-WI. CT only identified 3 cases with big lesions combined with hemorrhage and calcification.Conclusions GRE T2'*-WI could be a better choice of MRI sequence in diagnosing FCCM compared with CT and conventional MRI.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of argon plasma coagulation (APC)trans-choledochoscopy in biliary tract complications following liver transplantation. Methods All 27 patients underwent T-tube-choledochoscopy or percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscope (PTCS).APC was used to burn the hyperplasia of bile duct stenosis and then expended the stenosis with bougienage. The bile duct foreign bodies were burnt by APC and then eliminated. The granulation tissues of bile duct were burnt by APC after biopsied. The sutures of anastomoses were burnt by APC and then eliminated. Results In general, the therapeutic achievement ratio of stenosis of bile duct in 25 cases of 28 locations was 78. 6% (22/28). The clearance ratio of bile duct foreign bodies was 85. 7% (6/7). The elimination ratio of granulation tissues was 100% (5/5), the same as the elimination ratio of sutures of anastomoses. There were no treatment-related complications about APC. The recurrence ratio of bile duct stenosis was respectively 4.5% (1/22) and 13. 6% (3/22)after follow-up for 3 and 6 months respectively. All the recurrent stenosis was non-anastomotic. The recurrence ratio of bile duct foreign bodies was respectively 16. 7% (1/6) and 33.3% (2/6) after follow-up for 3 and 6 months respectively. Conclusion APC trans-choledochoscopy in treatment of biliary anastomotic stenosis, mural foreign bodies, mural biliary cast, granulation tissues of bile duct and sutures of anastomoses following liver transplantion has a high success ratio and a sure long-term efficacy without treatment-related complications.

BACKGROUND:Some control studies attempt to answer the advantages and disadvantages of high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy for acute spinal cord injury in adults, but have arrived at different conclusions. OBJECTIVE:To explore the therapeutic efficacy of high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy on acute spinal cord injury in adults by Meta analysis. METHODS:PubMed, Embase, Cochranel Library, CBMdisc, VIP and WanFang Databases were searched by computer, and relevant Chinese and English orthopedic journals were retrieved by hand. Controled trials related to high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy of acute spinal cord injury in adults were included. The methodology quality of included trials was criticaly assessed. RevMan 5.0 software was used for data analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nine clinical controled trials were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with the conventional therapy, the neurological recovery rate after 24 hours of administration, pneumonia incidence and gastrointestinal reactions increased significantly after high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy. However, there were no statistical differences in the rate of urinary tract infection, nonunion rate and stress ulcer incidence between these two therapies. These findings indicate that the high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy on acute spinal cord injury in adults has better outcomes in neurological function recovery, but can lead to higher incidence of lung infection and gastrointestinal reactions. Therefore, lung infection and gastrointestinal reactions should be avoided as much as possible during the course of treatment.

Objective To explore the technological and therapeutic value of endoscope for removal of hepatobiliary necrosis after liver transplantation.Methods Data of 36 patients with suspected hepatobiliary diseases,who underwent choledochoscopy or duodenoscopy to remove necrosis after liver transplantation,were reviewed.Liver function before and after the treatment were compared.Results Hepatobiliary necrosis located in common bile duct (n =6),intrahepatic bile duct (hilar bile duct included) (n =24) and intraand extra-hepatic duct (n =6).The total success rate was 72.2％ (26/36).Full clearance of bile duct necrosis was accomplished in 16 patients,partial clearance in 15 patients and the necrosis could not be removed in 5 others.The serum bilirubin and transaminase decreased significantly,compared with those before endoscopic treatment (P ＜ 0.05).No serious complications or death related to endoscopy occurred during the treatment.After 6-84 month follow-up,in 17 survivals,3 patients underwent a second liver transplantation with good prognosis.All the survivals had a life of good quality with no placed drainage tube except for one with drainage tube for four years with unstable serum bilirubin.Nineteen patients died from biliary tract related complications or other diseases during the long-term follow-up,among which eleven patients survived beyond four years.Conclusion Endoscopy for hepatobiliary necrosis removal,a minimally invasive method,is effective and safe.
