Objective To investigate the expression of Sonic hedgehog(SHH)and WNT/β-cate-nin in human pancreatic cancer and explore its clinical significance.Methods Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot assay were used to determine the mRNA and protein expression of SHH and β-catenin in human pancreatic cancer tissue and normal tissues adjacent to cancer.Results The SHH mRNA and protein expression was detected in 81.6% and 79.6% of pancreatic cancer, respectively.The β-catenin protein expression was 71.4% in pancreatic cancer tis-sues.These were significantly different from those of normal tissue adjacent to cancer (P＜0.05).But the expression level of β-catenin mRNA was low in both pancreatic cancer tissues and normal tissues.There was no significant difference between them (P＞0.05).The expression of SHH and β-catenin protein in pancreatic cancer had no correlation with age, tumor size, pathological type and tumor site (P＞0.05), but had a relationship with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P＜0.05).The cor-relation between SHH and β-catenin protein was positive (r=0.352, P＜0.05).Conclusion The SHH and WNT/β-catenin signaling pathways were active in human pancreatic cancer.The crosstalk between these pathways may play an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of pancreat-ic carcinoma.

Objective To review the experience of 162 cases of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) via a lower median ministernotomy. Methods CABG through a lower median ministernotomy was conducted in 162 cases from April 1998 to June 2003, including 77 cases of CABG under extracorporeal circulation, 13 cases of CABG concomitant with intracardiac surgery, and 72 cases of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Results There were 1 case of surgery-related death (0.6%) and 1 case of re-operation (0.6%). Postoperative complications occurred in 9 patients (5.6%). In conventional CABGs, the aortic cross-clamp time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and operation time were 74.8?23.1 min, 113.6?31.3 min, and 255.5?54.5 min, respectively. The operation time of OPCABG was 195.6?50.6 min. The number of anastomoses ranged 1~5 (2.4?0.7). The length of postoperative tracheal intubation was 0~364 h (median, 11 h). The length of postanesthesia care unit (PACU) stay and hospital stay were 1~28 d (median, 3 d) and 5~60 d (median, 10 d), respectively. The chest drainage volume was 607.2?443.0 ml, or 8.6?6.0 ml/kg. A blood transfusion was required in 38 cases, with a transfusion amount of 1161.3?741.2 ml. Conclusions A less invasive approach is possible in coronary artery bypass grafting via a lower median ministernotomy. This procedure provides satisfactory outcomes and good cosmetic results, during which a complete revascularization for multiple vessels and concomitant intracardiac operations are available.

Objective To review the experience of 460 cases of cardiac operations through a lower median ministernotomy. Methods A total of 460 cardiac operations via a lower median ministernotomy route were carried out between January 1997 and August 2003 in this hospital, involving 100 operations for congenital heart diseases, 178 valve operations, 168 coronary operations, 12 operations for aneurysms, and 2 other operations. On operation no special instruments were required. Results Within the hospitalization period 4 patients died (0.9%) and 3 underwent a re-operation (0.7%). Postoperative complications occurred in 29 patients (6.3%). Off-pump operations were employed in 73 patients, while in the remaining 387 patients the cardiopulmonary bypass time was 25~1 115 min (median, 80 min) and the aortic cross-clamp time was 0~164 min (55.8?31.9 min). Of the 460 patients, the length of postoperative tracheal intubation was 0~364 h (median, 10 h), and the postoperative chest drainage was 20~3 290 ml (median, 350 ml), or 0.3~42.2 ml/kg (median, 5.8 ml/kg). Blood transfusion were required after surgery in 280 patients with an amount of 951.1?644.6 ml. The postoperative ICU and hospital stay were 1~28 d (median, 2 d) and 1~60 d (11.6?6.0 d), respectively. A follow-up for 7~80 months (59.2?29.6 months) in 371 patients was conducted. No long-term deaths were noted and symptoms were significantly improved. Heart function was classified as grade Ⅰ in 169 patients, grade Ⅱ in 135 patients, and grade Ⅲ in 67 patients, respectively, with significant difference as compared with that in pre-operation ( Z =-12.57 , P =0.000). No significant difference was observed in the cardiothoracic ratio (0.50?0.11, 0.41~0.67) between postoperative and preoperative period ( t =-1.63, P =0.104). The left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly higher postoperatively (0.36~0.71, 0.606?0.113) than preoperatively ( t =3.43, P =0.001). Conclusions In properly selected cases, heart operations through a lower median ministernotomy provides many advantages including mini-invasion, high reliability, excellent cosmetic results, simplicity to performance, and good surgical outcomes.

Objective: To study the effect of topical administration of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on healing of rabbit corneal wound caused by mustard gas. Methods: All the corneas of 8 New Zealand white rabbits were injured by liquid mustard at the concentration of 0.2%. One eye of each rabbit was treated with bFGF eye drops 6 times daily, the other eye with 0.25% chloromycetin eye drops as control. Computerized image analyzer was used to calculate the corneal epithelial healing rate.
