Objective To detect Nogo-A proteolytic fragment in CNS injury models and investigate its proteolytic mechanism as well as potential functions. Methods Western blot was performed to detect Nogo-A proteolytic fragment after spinal cord transection,brain ischemia and KA-induced cerebral cortex injury in rats. Results We detected Nogo-A proteolytic fragment in spinal cord transection and brain ischemia models,whereas no Nogo-A proteolytic fragment was found in KA-induced cerebral cortex injury model.Conclusion\ CNS mechanical and ischemic injury may induce the degradation of Nogo-A by certain mechanisms.

Objective To evaluate the complications and long-term efficacy of inside-out transobturator transvaginal tape ( TVT-O) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence ( SUI) .Methods From January 2008 to December 2013,236 consecutive female patients (mean age 56 ±9 years,range 44-88 years)with the symptom of incontinence when abdominal pressure increasing (such as walking), underwent TVT-O operation.All these patients needed pads and were diagnosed with SUI by cough test and Marshall -bonny test before surgery , with the mean international consultation committee on incontinence questionnaire short form ( ICI-Q-SF) score of 15.6 ±3.9.Two grouping methods were used:the mid-term group including patients whose follow-up time was between 6 months and 3 years, the long-term group including patients whose follow-up time >3 years,the group of patients who underwent TVT-O only and the group of patients who underwent TVT-O plus pelvic floor repair at the same time . Their clinical and follow-up data , intraoperative and postoperative complications , subjective and objective effects were recorded and analyzed.Results Of these 236 patients,there were 1 case of bladder perforation (0.4%) and 1 case of intraoperative sling exposure to vagina ( 0.4%) .Postoperative complications included 36 ( 19.1%) groin/puncture point pain ,18 (9.5%) de novo frequency of micturition ,8 (4.2%) urinary retention /difficulty of urination.All the complications were relieved after symptomatic treatment or surgery except 2 cases of urinary retention/difficulty of urination.Their symptom kept existing after urethral dilatation and sling dissection and long-term intermittent self-catheterization was needed .One hundred and eighty-nine patients completed more than six months of follow-up, with mean follow-up time of ( 35.0 ±12.5 ) months.One hundred and sixteen (61.4%) cases was arranged to mid-term group and 73(38.6%) was arranged to long-term group.88.9%patients ( 168/189 ) were cured objectively and 9.5% patients ( 18/189 ) improved. There was also a significant subjective improvement ( ICI-Q-SF scores:15.6 ±3.9 preoperative versus 6.7 ± 2.3 postoperative,P<0.01).There was no significant difference of both objective and subjective efficacy between mid-term group and long-term group ( cured +improved rate 97.4% versus 95.9%;ICI-Q-SF scores 14.3 ±2.8 versus 16.7 ±3.4 preoperative ,5.8 ±1.2 versus 7.9 ±2.0 postoperative , P>0.05 ) . Patients who underwent TVT-O and those who underwent TVT-O +pelvic floor repair had no significant difference in efficacy (cured +improved rate 97.8%versus 100.0%,P>0.05).Conclusion TVT-O is a safe,effective and durable treatment for SUI , whether or not with concomitant procedure of pelvic floor repairment.

Objective To investigate the expression pattern and possible function of Nogo-A during neuronal growth. Methods E18 rat hippocampal neurons were primarily cultured both in high-density and low-density conditions. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were performed to detect Nogo-A expression and distributional changes. Results Nogo-A was found in hippocampal neurons, mainly located in the cytoplasm, plasma membrane and neurites. It was detected at the proximal part of all neurites before axon formation. In axons, Nogo-A was enriched in the distal segment and axonal growth cone. In mature neurons, the fiber net work displayed a large number of Nogo-A immunoreactive varicosities. Conclusion The present results indicate that the neuronal Nogo-A may be involved in the process of neurite outgrowth and axonal projection.

Objective To evaluate hepatic artery resection and microsurgical reconstruction in radical resection of Klatskin's tumor.Methods We retrospectively reviewed clinical data of 7 patients with advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin's tumor) who underwent left hemihepatectomy combined with right hepatic artery resection and microsurgical reconstruction with or without portal vein reconstruction from August 2008 to March 2012.Results Right hepatic artery was reconstructed with end-to-end anastomosis,using the reserved left hepatic artery (n =1),the remanent right hepatic artery (n =1),the hepatic artery proper (n =4) and the gastroduodenal artery (n =1),among those 2 patients underwent concomitant portal vein reconstruction.Post-operative pathology showed middle to low differentiated adenocarcinoma in 2 patients,low differentiated adenocarcinoma in 3 and papillary adenocarcinoma in 2.R0 resection was achieved in 6 patients.There was no post-operative liver failure,biliary-enteric anastomotic leakage or perioperative deaths.Conclusions Hepatic artery resection and microsurgical reconstruction increases the radical resection rate of advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma and decreases postoperative complications.

Objective To sum up the experience of application of artificial liver support system (ALSS) combined with liver transplantation(LT) in the treatment of end stage severe hepatitis.Methods Clinical data of 23 patients with end stage severe hepatitis receiving ALSS treatment prior to liver transplantation among 223 patients who underwent LT consecutively between April 1993 and December 2003 were analyzed retrospectively. Twenty three patients with end stage severe hepatitis received 58 courses of ALSS prior to liver transplantation. The 6 month survival rate was compared to those in non ALSS non LT group and non LT group.Results ALSS treatment facilitated improvement of liver function, endotoximia, and the tolerance to LT, thus provided a bridge time for attaining the donor liver. The total serum bilirubin level at LT was significantly lower than that before the first run of ALSS ( P

Objecfive To study the effect of fibronectin(FN)and arginine-glycine-aspartateserine tetrapeptide (RGDS)on chemotherapy sensitivity of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cell lines.Methods A HCC cell lines 7721 was divided into BSA group(BO),FN group(FO),RGDS group(RO)and FN+RGDS group(FR).Mitomycin-C(MMC)was added into each group with different concentrations for 2 h,12 h and 24 h.MTT assay was used to detect the survival rate of the tumor cell at different time,and fluorescent staining method and flow cytometry was used to detect the tumor cell's apoptosis.Results The survival rate and apoptosis rate was significantly different between each group with the treatment of MMC for 12 h or 24 h,and no statistical difference was found after incubation for 2 h.Conclusions With time FN down-regulates MMC induced apoptosis of the HCC cells.making HCC cells 1ess sensitive to chemotherapy,while RGDS enhances the sensitivity of HCC cells to chemotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and hemoglobinto-white blood cell ratio (HWR) prior to treatment in prognosis of non-operative esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients.Methods From October 2009 to November 2014,a total of 362 non-operative ESCC patients were enrolled in this prospective study.x2 test was used to analyze the relationship between NLR,HWR and general clinical features;Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between variables and prognosis of non-operative ESCC patients.Results The optimal cutoff level of 1.23 for NLR and 24.92 for HWR were identified by X-title software.x2 test indicated NLR was significantly associated with gender,tumor length,T stage,TNM stage and fasting blood glucose level.Moreover,univariate and multivariate analyses showed that high NLR and high HWR were all associated with a poor prognosis in non-operative ESCC.However,when patients were specifically stratified by treatment modus,subset analysis showed that NLR was only predictive of prognosis in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group (HR =4.080,95％ CI:1.074-15.497,P =0.039),whereas the influence of HWR on prognosis was just existed in the sequential chemoradiotherapy group (HR =2.625,95％ CI:1.311-5.254,P =0.006).Conclusions In this investigation,we found that high NLR and high HWR were associated with poor prognosis in non-operative ESCC.

Objective To investigate the occurrence and influencing factors of early allograft dysfunction (EAD) in patients receiving donation after cardiac death (DCD) liver Transplantation.Methods Forty-five patients received orthotopic liver transplantation in our center during January 2016 and May 2016 were included in this study.Based on the occurrence of EAD,patients were divided into EAD group and non-EAD group.Perioperative data of donors and recipients were collected to analyze the risk factors of EAD and the effect of EAD on the short-term prognosis of patients.Results In 45 patients,the incidence of EAD was 57.8％ (26 cases).During the follow-up period,the mortality of recipients in EAD group and non-EAD group was 15.4％ and 15.8％ respectively,which showed no significant difference.Donor age,preoperative ALT and AST levels,cold ischemia time (CIT) were significantly increased in EAD group than in non-EAD group (43.7 ±2.5 and36.2±2.5,P=0.0409;64.2 ±13.2 and 31.0 ± 5.9,P=0.0407;87.3±16.2 and48.2±6.2,P=0.047 3;629.5 ± 35.2 and 484.6 ± 30.5,P =0.004 0,respectively).Perioperative CRP level in EAD group was significantly higher than in non-EAD group (22.6 ± 5.9 and 4.7 ± 1.1,P =0.012 1).What's more,postoperative platelet level was significantly lower in EAD group than in nonEAD group (73.7 ± 8.0 and 111.7 ±16.0,P =0.0439).However,pre-and post-operative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in recipients showed no significant difference between EAD group and non-EAD groups.Conclusion Older donor age,high levels of preoperative ALT and AST,prolonged cold ischemic time,as well as high level of preoperative CRP and decrease of postoperative platelet level in recipients are risk factors for the occurrence of EAD after liver transplantation.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of patients with de novo digestive system malignancy after liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 10 patients with de novo digestive system malignancy out of 1 517 patients undergoing liver transplantation from January 2004 to December 2015 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University were collected.Immunosuppressive agents,type of de novo malignancy,process of treatment and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively.Results The incidence of de novo digestive system malignancy after liver transplantation was 0.7％ (10/1 517),including 3 cases of gastric cancer,3 cases of colon cancer,2 cases of liver cancer,2 cases of pancreatic cancer.All of the 10 patients received the corresponding treatment,and the dosage of immunosuppressive agents was reduced at the same time.The median time from liver transplantation to the diagnosis of de novo malignancy was 40.5 months (23 to 156 months).The median follow-up time was 10.5 months (3 to 61 months) after they had been diagnosed as malignancies,and 6 patients died of tumor progression.Conclusions The prognosis of patients with de novo digestive system malignancy after liver transplantation is poor,and early diagnosis and treatment is an important way to improve prognosis.Liver transplant recipients need to be closely followed up,especially in patients with high risk factors of digestive system malignancy.The modification of immunosuppressive drugs may be an effective way to prevent and improve prognosis.

Objective To use the laboratory detection indicators and pregnant information to predict severe preeclampsia in preg-nant women.Methods 80 pregnant women with severe preeclampsia were collected as the disease group,and 444 cases were select-ed as the control group.Their laboratory detection indicators and pregnant information were compared.between the two groups.The Logistic regression and the ROC curve were used to analyze the predictive value of each indicator for predicting severe preeclamp-sia.Results BMI,MAP,HCT,PLT in the first trimester of pregnancy and BMI,MAP in the second trimester of pregnancy were positively correlated with severe preeclampsia.HCG and PAPP-A in the first trimester of pregnancy were negatively correlated with severe preeclampsia.The single indicators with large predicting value for severe preeclampsia included PAPP-A in the first trimester and MAP in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy.The combining MAP in the first and second trimester of pregnancy had the largest predictive value.Conclusion PAPP-A in the first trimester and MAP in the first and second trimester of pregnancy can predict subsequent severe preeclampsia.
