Objective To reduce or prevent the incidence of bile duct injury in the laparoscopic cholecystectomy,and reduce the postoperative complications of Bile duct injury in the laparoscopic cholecystectomy by time and exact treatment during the surgical procedure.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 8700 cases of LC, including 12 cases of bile duct injury, from September 1991 to today. The corresponding treatment was used in LC to avoid bile duct injury, when bile duct injury occurred, the injury was recognized and immediately repaired by surgery. Result The mean follow-up period after surgery was 5-10 years,all 12 patients with bile duct injury were cured and discharged. Conclusions We should correctly handle the relationship of various duct and avoid burn or cut duct for reducing incidence of the extrahepatic bile duct injury. Correct treatment can reduce or avoid the incidence of postoperative complications.

Objective To investigate the effects of rosiglitazone on tree shrew's fatty liver induced by high sugar and fat diet. Methods Thirty six tree shrews were assigned as the chow diet group (group A, 8 animals) and the high sugar and high fat fed group (28 animals). The latter were fed alternately with the mix food containing 40% saccharu and 20% fat by one day interval. In the high sugar and high fat fed group, 19 animals (67.86%), which had an increased FBG level equal to or more than 11.1 mmol/L 22 weeks after the diet, were divided into 2 subgroups: rosiglitazone supplemented group (group B), to which rosiglitazone was added at a dose of 5 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 for seven weeks, and non supplemented group (group C). Body weight, fasting serum insulin(FINS) and blood lipid including total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL C) were examined during the experiment. Liver biopsies were carried out under general anaesthesia at 22 week and the end of the experiment in all animals. The samples of liver were fixed in 4% polymerisatum for 12 h, then through pathological routine processing. The expressions of uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) and insulin receptor (IR) were analyzed by calculating the UCP3 and IR expressing positive cells and by analyzing the area density of positive cells using computer aided video system. Results Morphological alteration under light microscopy showed that all animals from both group B and C had a typical steatosis throughout the liver sections 22 week after high sugar and high fat feeding. The area density of steatosis and the proportion of involved hepatocytes were approximately 30% and reached higher degrees in group C ( P 0.05) .Conclusion Increased expression of liver for IR ? in tree shrews on a high sugar and high fat diet indicates that insulin signaling may have a role in the development of hepatosteatosis.

ObjectiveTo study the efficacy of different doses of tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained release tablets for treatment of premature ejaculation (PE). MethodsEighty PE patients from September 2010 to January 2011 were divided into two groups randomly,the 0.2 mg dose group and the 0.4 mg dose group.The therapeutic effect was assessed by the changes of the patients' CIPE-5 scores.ResultsThe intra-vaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) of the two groups were (0.98 ± 0.47 ) and ( 0.89 ± 0.47 ) min respectively before treatment,and (4.40 ± 1.86 ) and (6.40 ± 5.10) min respectively after treatment.There were significant differences ( P ＜ 0.01 ).As for satisfaction degree of sexual life,lessening the patients' sexual anxiety and nervousness,and decreasing the difficulty in retarding ejaculation,the group of 0.4 mg had better effect than the other group.ConclusionLarge dose of tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained release tablets could prolong IELT and increase the sexual satisfaction.

Objective: To study the influence of inflammatory cytokine TNF-? on the expression of adhesion molecules and specific markers of rat MSCs, and to study the optimal stimulation of MSCs with inflammatory factors in inducing adhesion molecule expression which promotes migration of MSCs to the ischemic area in liver. Methods: The MSCs stimulated with different concentration of TNF-? were detected for adhesion molecules and stem cells markers on cell surface with the method of flow-cytometry, MSCs which were stimulated with the optimal concentration of TNF-? and labeled with 1, 1-Dioctadecyl-3, 3, 3, 3-tetramethylindocarbocyanine Iodade(DiI)were delivered intravenously to the rats whose liver was injured by ischemia, the liver function of the experimented animals were tested, and liver samples in the ischemic area were obtained, the number of MSCs was counted under a fluorescent microscope. Results: Stimulated with TNF-?, MSC ex-pression of VCAM-1 increased, while that of stem cell markers did not change markedly. Exposed to lower concentration of TNF-?, the adhesion ability of MSCs obviously increased and more MSCs rested in the ischemic areas in the rat liver, compared to the control groups. Conclusions: TNF-? can increase the expression of VCAM-1 on rat MSCs while exert little effect on the stem cell character of MSCs. Suitable concentration of TNF-? can promote MSCs migration to the damaged tissue, which provides rationale for the treatment of liver disease.

Objective To observe the effect of somatostatin (SST) on the expression of metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase-2(TIMP-2) of implanted tumor in nude mice after partial hepatectomy.Method Nude mice were divided into group A(n=10) implanted by human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),group B(n=10, partial hepatectomy) and C(n=10,HCC implantation after liver resection). SST(250 ?g/kg,b.i.d) was given intraperitoneally in group C. Mice were sacrificed on 35th d, tumor was measured, the expression of MVD.MMP-2 and TIMP-2 was detected by immunochemical staining and quantitative image computer-analysis. Results In group B, the weight and volume and expression of MVD.MMP-2 of tumor tissue was markedly incressed than in group A(P

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that monocytes can transdifferentiate into vascular endothelial cells under the induction of various factors including vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF).It remains poorly understood whether monocytes can be induced to transdifferentiate into lymphatic endothelial cells in vitro.OBJECTIVE:To explore the possibility of the transdifferentiation of monocytes into lymphatic endothelial cells under inflammatory condition.METHODS:Fresh monocytes from peripheral blood were collected by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and cultured in an endothelial cell medium,followed by incubation in fibronectin-plated well or treated with tumor necrosis factor a for 24 hours,respectively.The expression of specific markers of lymphatic endothelial cells,such as LYVE-1,Podoplanin,Porx-1 and VEGF receptor 3(VEGFR-3),as well as the endothelial cells markers,such as vWF,endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)and VEGFR-2,were detected by RT-PCR and immunochemical methods.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Prior to induction,monocytes were positive to LYVE-1,but negative for Podoplanin,Porx-1,and VEGFR-3,vWF,eNOS,as well as VEGFR-2.Following induction,the cultured mononcytes were positive for Podoplanin,Prox-1 and VEGFR-3,but remained negative for vWF,eNOS and VEGFR-2.It suggested that monocytes can be induced to express the markers of lymphatic endothelial cells stimulated by fibronectin or tumor necrosis factor a.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the (CGG)n repeats of FMR1 gene among patients with unexplained mental retardation. METHODS: For 201 patients with unexplained mental retardation, the (CGG)n repeats of the FMR1 gene were analyzed by PCR and FragilEase RESULTS: For the 201 patients with unexplained mental retardation, 15 were identified with full mutations of the FMR1 gene. The prevalence of fragile X syndrome (FXS) in patients with unexplained mental retardation was determined as 7.5% (15/201). Prenatal diagnosis was provided for 6 pregnant women with pre- or full mutations. Analysis revealed that women with mental retardation and full FMR1 mutations exhibited a skewed XCI pattern with primary expression of the X chromosome carrying the mutant allele. CONCLUSION FXS has a high incidence among patients with unexplained mental retardation. Analysis of FMR1 gene (CGG)n repeats in patients with unexplained mental retardation can facilitate genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for their families. FMR1 gene (CGG)n repeats screening should be recommended for patients with unexplained mental retardation.
