Objective To explore surgical techniques and curative effects of microsurgical treatment for neurilemmoma in upper cervical spinal canal. Methods From Jan. 2004 to Nov. 2007, 59 cases of schwannoma was resected through microoperation, the operation was conducted through a posteromedial approach, using German Laika microscope resection of the tumor, large tumors cannot complete resection,block or sac, resection postoperative neck activity conventional neck restrictions, with following observation of 6 months-2 years. Results A complete recovery was achieved in 54 cases, an improvement of symptoms was achieved in 5 cases, no death was encountered. Follow-up observations were carried out in 55 cases from 3 months-2 years (6.5 ± 1.5 months). MRI examinations 3-12 months after operation in 35 cases found no residual or recurrent tumor. X-ray radiography under anteroposterior, lateral, and open-mouth view 6 months after operation in 42 cases showed no spinal deformation and good vertebral stability. Conclusions As long as neurilemmoma in upper cervical spinal canal are diagnosed, a microsurgical treatment should be given as early as possible. Appropriate selection of surgical approach, skillful microsurgical techniques in accordance with pathological types of lesions, and principles of minimal invasion are critical for the operation safety.

Objective To evaluate the impact of preoperative renal artery embolization in renal cell carcinoma patients with venous tumor thrombus.Methods A total of 249 RCC patients with venous tumor thrombus underwent radical nephrectomy and thrombectormy in our hospital.Seventy-four patients received preoperative renal artery embolization while other 175 patients did not.The related items were analyzed.The tumor thrombus level was divided into 5 groups with American Mayo clinic classification system.Considering the significant difference in tumor situation and treatment strategies, we took the hepatic vein as a cut-off line, dividing patients into two subgroups, the early and advanced tumor thrombus groups.There were 208 patients in the early tumor thrombus group and 41 patients in the advanced group.The related items were analyzed respectively.Results Patients in the embolization group tended to have larger tumors and higher percentage of advanced tumor thrombus.For all patients, the embolization group had longer operation time [(4.8 ±2.1) h vs.(4.1 ±2.2) h ,P <0.05] and greater median blood loss (900ml vs 500 ml,P <0.05), compared to the non-embolization patients, and RAE did not show benefits on perioperative outcomes seemingly.However, subgroup analysis of patients with advanced tumor thrombus ( above hepatic vein) , in spite of the larger size of tumor, preoperative RAE showed significant benefits on reducing operation time [(7.0 ±1.7)h vs.(8.2 ±1.8)h, P<0.05)] and intraoperative blood loss (2 000 ml vs.3 000 ml, P<0.05) and decreasing blood transfusion (1 525 ml vs.2 050 ml ,P>0.05).Conclusion Preoperative RAE may be more appropriate for patients with advanced tumor thrombus because of its benefits in reducing operation time, intraoperative blood loss and elevating the operative security.

Objective To explore disinfection efficacy of anerdian using swab and spray disinfection methods.Methods Hands of 30 subjects were randomly divided into the swab group and the spray group.The samples of before and after disinfection in each group were collected separately and observed their disinfection effect.Results The number of bacteria showed no significant difference between the two groups.The passing rate of disinfection reached 100％.The time of disinfection in the spray group was (2.58±0.32)s,significantly less than that in the swab group,(12.26±1.48)s,however,the drying time in the spray group was (42.37±1.79)s,significant longer than that in the swab group,(26.24±1.46)s.A subject hand disinfection used 0.5ml 0.2％ anerdian in the spray group,and 0.75ml 0.2％ anerdian and two cotton buds was used in the swab group.Conclusions There is identical disinfection efficacy between spray and swab methods.Spray disinfection method has short operating time,less use of disinfectant without using cotton buds,it is able to replace swab disinfection and will play an important role to reduce medical waste and health care costs.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association between two polymorphisms of the APOC3 gene (T-455C and C-482T) and hereditary risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

METHODSA total of 287 patients with NAFLD and 310 control subjects were genotyped by PCR and direct sequencing. Serum lipid profiles were also detected by standard biochemical

METHODSOne-hundred-and-eighty of the study participants were used to measure the APOC3 content by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Inter-group differences and associations were assessed statistically using Chi square and t tests and logistic and linear regression analyses.

RESULTSThe frequencies of neither the genotypes or alleles were significantly different between the NAFLD cases and the controls. Compared with the most common genotypes-455TT or-482CC, none of the variants showed a significant increase in risk of NAFLD or for the clinical and biochemical parameters. The adjusted odds ratios (with 95% confidence intervals) of NAFLD were 1.25 (0.79-1.96) and 1.20 (0.76-1.89) for carriers of the APOC3-455C and-482 T variants respectively (P more than 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe T-455C and C-482T polymorphisms of the APOC3 gene are not associated with risk of NAFLD, pathogenic changes in lipid profiles, or insulin resistance in Han Chinese.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association between the PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism and chronic hepatitis B (CH[B) in a Han Chinese population residing in Qingdao.

METHODSPeripheral blood samples were collected from 185 CHB patients and 164 healthy controls and subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing to determine the PNPLA3 genotypes. The relative risk of the rs738409 polymorphism for CHB was estimated by calculating the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval.

RESULTSThe rs738409 G allele frequency was significantly different between the CHB and control groups (31.9% vs.21.9% respectively, P less than 0.05). Compared to he rs738409 C allele, the G allele was associated with an increased risk of developing CHB (OR =1.67, 95% CI:1.18-2.34, P =0.003). Logistic regression model analysis, with adjustment for confounding factors, indicated that carriers of the PNPLA3 rs738409 GG + GC genotype had increased risk of CHB than carriers of the CC genotype (OR =1.76 ,95% CI:1.14-2.71, P =0.011).

CONCLUSIONQingdao Han Chinese who are carriers of the rs738409 G allele are at increased risk of CHB.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between SREBP-1c and the risk of liver disease associated with the triacylglyceride lipase PNPLA3 I148M variant using a human hepatoma cell line model transfected with recombinant lentiviruses.

METHODSHuh7 cells were transfected with control lentivirus or lentivirus containing the PNPLA3 I148M variant (variant). The two cell groups were compared to assess differences in triglyceride content (using oil red O staining), levels of triglyceride and cholesterol (using automated biochemical analyzer), expression of SREBP-lc mRNA (using fluorescence quantitative PCR), and expression of SREBP-1c protein (using western blot.

RESULTSCells expressing the PNPLA3 I148M variant showed higher triglyceride content (0.54+/-0.03 mmol/L vs. control cells: 0.23+/-0.02 mmol/L; t=22.58, P<0.001), cholesterol level (0.28+/-0.03 mmol/L vs. control cells: 0.13+/-0.02 mmol/L; t =11.83, P<0.001), SREBP-1cmRNA expression (13.59+/-0.60 vs. 11.81+/-0.82; [The abstract and text in the paper say variant increases, but the data shown says the higher value is in the control cells. Please correct to properly express the data.] P=0.001), and SREBP-1c protein expression. The level of SREBP-1c was positively correlated with serum triglyceride in the cells expressing the PNPLA3 I148M variant (r=0.912, P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe risk of liver disease associated with the PNPLA3 I148M variant, which increases lipogenesis, may involve SREBP-1c and a pathway that increases triglycerides.
