Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of preoperative prophylactic TACE for resectable primary hepatocellular carcinoma patients by mata analysis.Methods The research was conducted by retrieving China biomedical literature database,Chinese CNKI,VIP,Wanfang and PubMed,OVID,Embase,Cochrane library.Randomized controlled trials were evaluated by using the modified Jadad score and the case-control study were evaluated by using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale respectively.All trials involved were analyzed by Stata12.0.Results 2 316 patients came from 3 randomized controlled trials (RCT) and 8 case-control articles including 752 patients in preoperative prophylactic TACE groups and 1 564 patients from liver resection only group.There was no significant difference in the operation time and blood loss between the two groups (operation time:SMD =0.058,95 ％ CI:-0.166-0.050,P =0.290;the amount of bleeding:SMD =-0.098,95 ％ CI:-0.204--0.08,P =0.070).The hospital stay was slightly prolonged in the preoperative prophylactic TACE groups (SMD =-0.86,95％ CI:-1.57--0.14,P =0.02).There was no significant difference between two groups in the 3-year overall survival and 5-year overall survival (the 3-year overall survival:RR =1.039,95％ CI:0.964-1.121,P =0.314;the 5-year overall survival:RR =0.96,95％ CI:0.86-1.08,P =0.505).Conclusion The Preoperative TACE fails to reduce the operation time and intraoperative blood loss,only prolonging the length of hospital stay.While the long-term survival rate remained unimproved.

The choroid plexus of the cat, rabbit and rat have been investigated by means of scanning elecron microscopy. The surface appearance of choroid plexus of these animals exhibited pleomorphism. The free surface of epithelial cells are covered with dense microvilli, single long cilium, clusters of cilia, bulbous protrusions and flower-like structure. They are scattered throughout the ventricular surface of the choroid plexus. High magnification scanning electron microscopy reveals that the population of microvilli consist of slender finger-like microvilli and microvilli with the bleb-like protrusion. Flower-like structure is the clusters of microvilli. On the surface of the choroid plexus of these animals, the Kolmer cells were observed. According to the number of processes, the Kolmer cells of cat, rabbit and rat may be divided into four main types. The ultra-architectural organization of choroid plexus of the cat, rabbit and rat is quite similar, but the number of bulbous protrusions in the cat and clusters of cilia in the rat occurs more.

The spatial structure of hemolymph node in the rat is studied by light, transmission and scanning electron microscopy after the fixation of arterial perfusion. The structure of hemolymph node is similar to that of the normal lymph node, and main characteristic is that a number of the red cells are seen in it. The erythrocytes were carried to the afferent lymphatic vessel and reach the medullary sinus, many erythrocytes travel through the rsubcapsula and cortical sinuses, and reach the lymphatic tissue of the local cortex with selectivity, and going through the paracortical zone and the sinus wall to the medulary sinus. Most of the red blood cells are phagocytosed by macrophages in the sinuses. The subcapsular and cortical sinuses of hemolymph nodes connect with medullary sinuses, and form a reticular lymphatic passage. Reticular cells in the sinuses constitute a spatial each other. There are macrophages, lymphocytes, plasmocytes and numerous red blood cells in the nets. Macrophages are anchored on the reticular cells by their pseudopodla, traping and phagocytosing the red cells and foreign matters. Sometimes a macrophage is found closely associated with lymphocytes.

Objective:To assess clinical efficacy of micro-punch combined with electron beam radiation for the treatment of keloids on the lower jaw.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 36 patients with keloids on the lower jaw, who received micro-punch combined with electron beam radiation at Department of Dermatology, Xijing Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University from January 2018 to January 2019, and analyzed retrospectively. There were 16 males and 20 females, with an average age of 23.80 years and a median disease duration of 32 months. The severity of keloids was evaluated before and 12 months after operation. A paired t test was used to compare keloid severity scores before and after treatment. Results:All of the 36 patients experienced primary wound healing. The keloid severity score was 7.11 ± 1.46 before operation, and significantly decreased to 2.33 ± 0.47 at 12 months after operation ( t=13.85, P=0.008) . Twelve months after the treatment, 15 patients were cured, 17 showed marked improvement, and 4 showed no response or experienced recurrence within 12 months after treatment, with a response rate of 88.89%. Conclusion:Micro-punch combined with electron beam radiation is effective for the treatment of keloids on the lower jaw.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for determining the main contents and entrapment efficiency in the bruc-ine nanostructured lipid carrier(NLC). METHODS:HPLC was adopted to determine the main content,sephadex gel filtration meth-od was employed to separate free drug in brucine NLC to determine the entrapment efficiency. The column was Dikma C18 with the mobile phase of mobile phase A(methanol)-mobile phase B [water-acetic acid-triethylamine(230∶2.4∶0.3,V/V/V)](30∶70,V/V)at the flow rate of 1 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 265 nm,volume was 10 μl and temperature was 30 ℃. RESULTS:The linear range of brucine was 4.00-80.00μg/ml(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were≤1.67%;av-erage recoveries of content determination and sephadex gel filtration method were respectively 99.66%(RSD=0.45%,n=9) and 99.75%(RSD=1.74%,n=9);and the average entrapment efficiency was 69.92%. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,re-producible and efficient,and can be used for the determination of main contents and entrapment efficiency in brucine NLC.

Objective To explore the anti-inflammatory effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on hepatic ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury in fatty liver rats.Methods A total of 100 male SD rats were fed with high-fat diet for 12 weeks.After the model was successfully established,the fatty liver rats were randomly divided into sham-operation (SHAM),the ischemia-reperfusion (IR) and EPO preconditioning group.Serum ALT and AST as well as hepatic histopathological changes were measured.Xanthine oxidase method was used to detect the liver tissue SOD.Thiobarbituric acid method was used to detect the MDA.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent adsorption assay (ELISA) was used to detect the plasma tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFαt) and interleukin 1 (IL-1).Results In the EPO preconditioning groups the swelling hepatocytes was observed,but the inflammatory cell infiltration was significantly decreased and no necrosis of hepatocytes was found.ALT and AST in the EPO preconditioning groups were significantly lower than those in IR group (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of SOD activity in the EPO preconditioning groups were significantly higher,but MDA were significantly lower than that in IR group (P ＜ 0.05).The TNF-α and IL-1 in the EPO preconditioning groups were significantly lower than those in IR group (P ＜0.05).The values of ALT,AST,TNF-α,IL-1 and MDA in the EPO groups were:EPO-1 ＞ EPO-2 ＞ EPO-3 (P ＜ 0.05);but the values of SOD in the EPO groups were:EPO-1 ＜ EPO-2 ＜ EPO-3 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions EPO preconditioning has a protective effect against hepatic IR injury in fatty liver rats,possibly through inhibiting the inflammatory reaction to prevent the IR injury.The anti-inflammatory effect of high-dose EPO is better than that of low-dose EPO.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the protective effect and its mechanisms of Sinomenium acutum polysaccharide on mice with acute alcoholic liver injury. METHODS:60 mice were randomly divided into blank control group (normal saline),model group (normal saline),bifendate group (positive control,150 mg/kg) and S. acutum polysaccharide low-dose,medium-dose, high-dose groups(100,200,400 mg/kg),10 in each group,intragastrically administrated,once a day,for continual 7 d. 1 h af-ter last administration,mice received 50% ethanol (0.1 mL/10 g) intragastrically to induce acute alcoholic liver injury model ex-cept for those in blank control group. After 12 h,alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)levels in se-rum,malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione(GSH),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)levels in liv-er tissue of mice were determined;hematoxylin-eosin staining was conducted to observe the pathological changes in liver tissue;flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis rate. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,mice in model group showed pathological changes in edema,disordered cell arrangement and local necrosis;ALT and AST levels in serum,MDA level in liver tissue and hepatocyte apoptotic rate were significantly increased,while the SOD,GSH and GSH-Px levels in liver tissue were significantly decreased,with statistical significances (P<0.01). Compared with model group,cell degeneration and necrosis degree of mice were improved in S. acutum polysaccharide medium-dose and high-dose groups;except for cell apoptosis rate of liver in S. acutum polysaccharide low-dose group was not decreased significantly,the above-mentioned indicators in other treatment groups were significantly improved(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:S. acutum polysaccharide shows obvious protective effect on mice with acute alcoholic liver injury,its mechanism might re-late to anti-oxidation stress and inhibiting hepatocyte apoptosis.

Objective To evaluate the predictive values of different systems for clinical staging of esophageal carcinoma in one group of patients and improve the criteria for T staging,and to provide a basis for accurate clinical staging. Methods A retrospective study was performed in 701 patients with esophageal carcinoma who received radical radiotherapy in our hospital. The prognosis was performed according to American Joint Committee on Cancer ( AJCC) tumor-node-metastasis staging system,Chinese 2004 staging system,the draft of Chinese 2009 staging system,and gross tumor volume of the primary tumor (GTV-T). Results In terms of T stage,patients evaluated according to the AJCC staging system were in relatively early stages;23. 1% of them were in stage T1,and the survival curves of T3 and T4 patients were close to each other;the survival curves plotted according to the Chinese 2004 staging system were well separated, but relatively few patients were in stages T1 and T4 , yielding an uneven distribution;according to the draft of Chinese 2009 staging system, the survival curve of T3 patients intersected that of T4 patients, and up to 43. 2% of patients were in stage T4.The new T staging was performed based on GTV and the extent of tumor invasion into the adjacent tissue and organ, and the results showed that there was no intersection between survival curves and a relatively balanced T stage distribution. In terms of N staging,patients were divided into stages N0 ,N1 ,and N2 . The TNM staging was performed by a combination of N staging and new T staging, resulting in significant separation between survival curves ( P=0. 000) . Conclusions The combination of T staging,which is based on GTV and the extent of tumor invasion,and N staging,which is based on metastasis of lymph nodes, can accurately predict the survival of non-surgically treated patients with esophageal carcinoma.
