Objective To study the factors associated with post-operattve renal function injury after laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery(LNSS)for tumors. Methods Fifty consecutive patients were enroned in a prospective protocol and underwent LNSS.Preoperative and postoperative renal scintigraphic scan was performed in all patients. 99 Tcm-diethylenetetraminepentacetic acid scan was performed in all patients.Linear correlation and multivariate regression model were used to analysis the factors associated with postoperative renal damage.Twenty consecutive patients associated with risk factors were followed-up.These data in GFR were monitored at the preoperative,1 week and 3 months after operation.The duration Warm ischemia was recorded. Results In selected patients,assessed by renal scintigraphy,the function of the operated kidney was reduced by a mean of 24%.Linar correlation analysis showed that there was positive correlation between the age,tumor size,duration of warm ischemia and postoperative renal function injury.Furthermore,multivariate Legression analysis revealed that the duration of warm ischemia was the independent risk factor of postoperative renal damage.Twenty consecutive patients were included in this protocol.There was a significant difference between vessel clamp time≤30 min and vessel clamp time＞30 min.Renal scan data did not reveal any significant decrease in GFR in the affected kidney at 3 months after surgery for the patients whose yesscl clamp time less than 30 min.Renal function damage could not recover in the patients over 70 years with longer than 30 min warm ischemia or with longer than 60 min warm ischemia. Conclusions This paper evaluated renal function on the affected side before and after surgery by measuring renal function with renal scintigraphy using99 Tcm-DTPA.Risk factors for renal dysfunction in the affected kidney after LPN are age over 70 years with more than 30min warm ischemia time,and a warm ischemia time longer than 60 min.

Objective To study the changes of lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) in the serum of Wistar rats with obstructive jaundice and to investigate its potential mechanism.Methods Eighty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into obstructive jaundice group (OJ group, n =40) and sham operation group (SO group, n =40). Before operation and the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th day after common bile duct ligation, the levels of LBP, endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF ?) and interleukin 6 (IL 6) in plasma were detected in all the rats. Results LBP levels in serum increased significantly in OJ group on the 10th day after operation compared with those of SO group. Moreover, LBP levels gradually increased in OJ group with the prolongation of obstructive time. A positive correlation existed between serum LBP and plasma endotoxin, TNF ? and IL 6.Conclusion The study demonstrates that LBP in serum is high and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple organ injury secondary to obstructive jaundice. It may be an appropriate way to treat patients with obstructive jaundice by decreasing LBP levels in serum.

Objective To compare the treatment effect of different doses methylprednisolone(MP)combined with monosialotetrahexosyl ganglioside(GM-1)on experimental spinal cord injury.Methods Based on the duplication of compressed spinal cord animal model,36 rats were divided into three groups randomly:the first group with high dose of MP,the second with moderate dose of MP and GM-1,the third with low dose of MP and GM-1.The motor evoked potential(MEP)and the grades of BBB were detected on the 7th day and 14th day after injury.Results The peak latencies and the amplitudes of MEP and the BBB grades changed significantly after injury in the three groups.After treatment by different administration,the recovery of the two combined groups was more obvious than that of the high dose MP group,and the effect with the low dose of MP and GM-1 group was most significant.Conclusion The treatment effect of low dose MP combined with GM-1 is better than the other two therapies on experimental spinal cord injury.

The paper proposes and realizes a programmable wireless neural stimulation system which can be used as a solution of functional electrical stimulation to treat neural diseases. The system is composed of two parts: controller and neural stimulator. The controller can transmit pulse parameters to the stimulator wirelessly, and the stimulator can generate bidirectional pulses with charge balance. The simulator takes use of ADCs to sample on the bidirectional pulse output, which compared with preset amplitude to the DAC output voltage to realize the voltage calibration. Through the test, the whole system works stably and the output of the biphasic charge balanced circuit is definite. The stimulator output ranges from 0 to 5 V ajustably, and the frequency ranges from 1 Hz to 200 Hz ajustably, while the pulse width ranges from 500 μs to 1500 μs ajustably. The duration of the stimulation can be set from 10 s to 10 min.

AIM:To elucidate whether ZFP580 is involved in the cardioprotective effects of hypoxic precondi-tioning (HPC) against hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) injury in H9c2 myocardial cells.METHODS: Rat heart-derived H9c2 cells were cultured in DMEM .H/R was induced by incubation under ischemic hypoxia for 3 h and reoxygenation for 2 h.HPC was induced by exposing the H 9c2 cells to 10 min of hypoxia and 20 min of reoxygenation for 3 cycles before H/R treatment.MTT staining and LDH leakage detection were used to evaluate the effects of HPC .Western blotting was used to detect the protein levels of ZFP580, phosphorylated ERK1/2 and cleaved caspased-3.The effects of ZFP580 overexpre-ssion or knockdown on H/R induced apoptosis were determined .RESULTS:The results of MTT staining and LDH leakage detection showed evidence of HPC cytoprotection against H /R-induced cell death in H9c2 cells.ZFP580 protein level and ERK1/2 phosphorylation were significantly increased in the HPC group compared with control group and H /R group. PD98059, an inhibitor of ERK1/2 phosphorylation , significantly suppressed the HPC-induced up-regulation of ZFP580 pro-tein expression.ZFP580 overexpression significantly inhibited apoptosis and caspase-3 activation in H9c2 cells.CON-CLUSION:HPC exhibits cytoprotection against H/R and leads to high level of ZFP 580 protein in H9c2 cells.ZFP580 is regulated by ERK1/2 activation and mediates the anti-apoptotic effect of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway in HPC cytoprotec-tion.
