Objective:To summarize the experience of retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection in the management of chyluria,and to investigate a new minimally invasive treatment of chyluria. Methods:9 cases of chyluria were treated by retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection from Jan 2005 to Dec 2008 with 7 male ones and 2 female ones. The average age was 48 years. 8 of 9 cases obtained success and 1 of 9 cases was converted to open surgery. Operation time, blooding volume, postoperative complication and hospitalization stay, and the operative effect were observed. Results:The operation time was from 65 to 105 min,with the average of 70 min. The blooding volume was from 50 to 100ml, with the average of 60ml. Chyluria disappeared immediately after operation in all patients. Postoperative stay was from 5 to 7d and no complication happened. Conclusion:Retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection for chyluria is a effective and efficienl method in the management of chyluria. And it is also safe , minimally invasive , with less blood loss, fewer complications , and short hospital stay .

Objective:To evaluate the application of chromogranin A(CgA) as a marker in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Methods:Serum CgA and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were detected by immunoradiometric essay in 27 cases of prostatic carcinoma ,27 cases of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH)and 5 cases of healthy subjects. Results:Serum CgA(98.7?69.42) in patients with prostatic carcinoma was significantly higher than that in healthy subjects(32.68?26.58) and in patient with BPH(44.7?40.86)(P

Entry of enveloped viruses into host cells requires fusion of the viral envelope with a cellular membrane. This step is mediated by viral glycoproteins that undergo a dramatic conformational change. Recent advances in structure and function of the fusion proteins of the class Ⅱ viruses, Rhabdoviruses and Herpesviruses were described. Proteomics computational analyses to locate the functional domain of fusion protein were introduced. The fusion proteins of class Ⅱ and class Ⅰ viruses differ radically in their initial structures but refold toward similar final conformation (trimer of hairpin). The Rhabdoviruses and Herpesviruses have a novel fold combining features of fusion proteins from class Ⅰ and class Ⅱ. The fusion proteins of these viruses have a different conformation change and mediate a different fusion process, therefore, the proteins belong to a novel class of fusion proteins. The potent inhibitor of virus entry should be new strategies for developing antiviral drugs.

Objective To investigate the prevalent characteristics of children with viral pneumonia in different areas and years.Methods The viral antigen of cells of nasopharyngeal secretions was detected by the method of alkaline phosphatasea anti-alkalinephhosphatase in viral pneumonia children in different areas and years.Results Among 627cases , there were 290 positive cases and 14 cases were infected by 2 viral strains. Three hundred and four positive viral strains,71 cases (23.35%) were RS virus infection, 47 cases (15.46%) were AD virus infection, 74 cases (24.34%) were FLU-A virus infection,50 cases (16.44%) were FLU-B virus infection, 47 cases (15.46%) were PIV1,3 virus infection, and 15 cases (4.93%) were PIV2 virus infection. But in different areas, the kind of the viral strain of the highest infection rate was different. The viral detection rate in autumn and winter was the highest and in summer was the lowest. Conclusions FLU-A virus is the main etiological agent of children viral pneumonia,but the main etiological agent in different areas is different. In autumn and winter, the viral infection rate is high. The chance of viral infection of lower respiratory tract of big children is reduced.

Objectives:To develop a preparative method of continuous acid-urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (CAU-PAGE) to purify the defensin components from human and rabbit neutrophils (HNP-1～3 and RNP-1～5).Methods:Neutrophils were isolated from human peripheral blood or rabbit artificial aseptic ascites.The components of defensin were extracted by 5% acetic acid directly followed by elution of CAU-PAGE,and purified HNP-1～3 or RNP-1～5 were harvested.Polyacrylamide gel filtration was used as the method for comparison.Results:For each elution circa 1.50 mg of purified HNP or 2.50 mg of RNP were obtained from 5×108 of neutrophils,and their natural biological activity was preserved.Conclusions：CAU-PAGE is a relatively simple,rapid,economical method for purifying cationic peptides as the components of defensin.

Objective To determine the value of 18F-FDG PET-CT in detecting the primary origin of cancer of unknown primary (CUP).Methods A total of 48 patients (age range 41-82 years,mean age of 57±16 years, 20 females) were retrospectively selected. All patients were diagnosed as CUP and were examined by 18F-FDG PET-CT scan.The patients were divided into cervical lymph node metastasis group (28 cases) and extra-cervical lymph node metastasis group (20 cases) according to different metastasis site.Sensitivity of 18F-FDG PET-CT to detect primary tumor site was compared between these two groups.Results 18F-FDG PET-CT detected primary tumors in 32 of 48 patients (66.7 ％), the cervical lymph node metastasis tumors in 22 of 28 patients (78.6 ％), and extra-cervical lymph node metastasis tumors in 10 of 20 patients (50.0 ％).There was significant difference between cervical lymph node metastasis group and extra-cervical lymph node metastasis group (x2 =4.286,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion 18F-FDG PET-CT has a high sensitivity to detect primary origin of CUP,especially for patients with cervical lymph node metastasis.

In recent years,minimally invasive surgery has become the mainstream trend of modern surgery with the rapid development of endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques.However,there are limitations when either technique is used alone.The laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS),which combines the advantages and makes up the deficiencies of these two techniques,has expanded the application field of minimally invasive surgery.Laparoscopic wedge resections are increasingly applied for gastric stromal tumor.Base on clinical experience of 43 patients who underwent laparoscopic wedge resections for surgical treatment of gastric stromal tumor,we conclude that this procedure is feasible and safe.

This study was to localize the position of spinal center of sympathetic nerve which controls the pulmonary circulation in pithed rat model. The sympathetic preganglionic fibers arising from C7-T10 spinal segments were stimulated electrically in succession. During stimulation the pulmonary vascular rcsistance(PVR) was increased in all segments tested, most significantly in C7-T4(about 28% above control value) which was obviously higher than that of Ts-T10. In constract, the systemic vascular resistance(SVR) increased more remarkably when lower segments were stimulated. The higher the stimulated spinal segments, the larger the ratio of APVR/ASVR. The data showed that the spinal center of sympathetic nerve which regulates the vasomotion of pulmonary circulation is located in the segments C7-T4.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effects of RNAi targeting survivin to suppress the expression of survivin and to induce the apoptosis of human renal cancer cell line 786-O.Methods The target gene fragments were cloned into pcDNATM 6.2-GW/EmGFPmiR vectors,and then the recombinant eukaryotic expression vectors were transfected into 786-O cells with liposomes.The expression changes in survivin mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemical assay,and the proliferation inhibitory rate (IR) of 786-O cells was detected by M'TT assay.Results The mRNA and protein expressions of survivin in the siRNA group were significantly inhibited by the eukaryotic expression vectors,and it also inhibited significantly the growth and proliferation of 786-O cells.Conclusion Silencing survivin gene by the RNAi technique can not only effectively decrease the expressions of survivin gene and protein,but also inhibit the cell proliferation in 786-O cells.This may provide the experimental evidence for the survivin gene as a target of gene therapy in renal cancer.

Objective: To examine the help-seeking tendency of Chinese undergraduates in a normal university when they suffering from mental problems, and the reasons that prevented them from seeking professional help. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 292 undergraduates. Results and Conclusions: ①The subjects preferred solving problems themselves to seeking others, and prefered to go to those who were closed to them when they had to ask for help. The professional counseling service was chosen only when the problem became severe and emotionally disturbed.②Male university students preferred to solve problems themselvesmrre than female ones, and students from the city preferred to solve problems themselves more than those from the countryside.③3 Some factors or categories were identified from the total 9 reasons that responsible for not asking for professional help, in which the more important two were "self efficacy relevant factor" and "saving face relevant factor".
