Objective To determine the feasibility and management of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC)for acute cholecystitis. Methods The clinical data of 106 patients with acute cholecystitis underwent LC were reviewed retrospectively. Results Six cases were converted into laparotomy and LC were successfully performed in other 100 cases. No complications occurred in this series. Conclusions LC is feasible for acute cholecystitis;the skill and experience of the operator is the key to the success of the operation.

Objective To understand the plasma protein differential expression before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)through conducting the comparative proteomics study on rats in order to find the plasma markers with potential value in the early diagnosis of CPB resulted complications.Methods 10 adult male SD rats were divided into the experiment group and the con-trol group randomly (n=5),and took food and water freely before operation.The rat models of CPB were constructed in the experi-ment group.But no any CPB operation was administered in the control group in addition to anesthesia induction,arterial and venous puncture procedure.1 mL of blood sample was extracted for separating plasma before CPB and at the end of CPB in the two groups. The total plasma protein was purified.Then the 2-dimensional electrophoresis and the scanning imaging by ImageScanner were per-formed.The protein spots verified to be differential expression were performed the cutting,enzymolysis and peptide fragment ex-traction.Finally the mass spectrometer was adopted to conduct the analysis and identification.Results The number of visualized spots was increased significantly after CPB.17 protein spots with up-regulated expression were identified as differential expression caused by CPB.5 proteins were verified by mass spectrometer analysis and database research.They were gelsolin,haptoglobin,apo-lipoprotein A-1,immunoglobulin gamma-2b and Ba1-647 respectively.Conclusion CPB can cause the differential expression of plas-ma proteins in rat model.According to the function analysis,gelsolin,haptoglobin and apolipoprotein A-1 have the potentiality of be-ing the plasma markers for studying CPB complications.

Objective To assess the efficacy of using four kinds of proteins / peptides to distinguish the tuberculosis patients from healthy people. Methods A, B, C and D were used to represent four proteins /peptides with 1 060, 1 944, 2 081 and 3 954 of mass to charge ratio (m / z) in serum, respectively. Levels A, B, C and D in serum of 57 patients with tuberculosis and 30 healthy people were determined by using the surface-enhanced laser desorption-ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS). Then the differences of levels of f A, B, C and D were anlyzed between tuberculosis patients and healthy people. The efficacy of distinguishing tuberculosis patient from healthy people were evaluated by using diagnostic test evaluation method. Results (1) The levels of A, B, C and D were 1 ± 11, 1 597 ± 3 102, 460 ± 765 and 1 208 ± 1 003 in tuberculosis patients, while they were 123 ± 201, 47 ± 98, 36 ± 93 and 397 ± 355 in healthy people. (2) The area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.644, 0.848, 0.735 and 0.810 respectively. The serum levels of A, B, C and D could be used to distinguish tuberculosis patient from healthy people and the cut-off values of A, B, C and D were ≤166, ≥318, ≥48 and ≥728, respectively. Conclusions B, C and D have better performances to distinguish tuberculosis patients from healthy people , which may be regarded as new promising candidate markers for diagnosis of tuberculosis.
