Benign biliary strictures(BBS) have different etiologies, and the most common causes are strictures secondary to iatrogenic and ischemic injury after hepatobiliary and transplantation surgery. Fibroblast proliferating activity, extracellular matrix overdeposition and scar proliferation are closely related to BBS. The mechanism of development of BBS involves a variety of cells, cytokines and extracellular matrix. In recent years, biological treatment is emerging as an effective option for BBS, but the clinical application is not yet mature and the curative effect needs to be evaluated further in the future.

OBJECTIVE:To study inhibitory effects of propofol on PC12 cells injury induced by glutamic acid via mitogen-acti-vated protein kinase/extra-cellular regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) signal pathway. METHODS:PC12 cells were randomized into normal control group,model group(10 mmol/L glutamic acid),propofol low-concentrations,medium-concentrations and high-con-centrations groups(12.5,25,50 μmol/L+10 mmol/L glutamic acid). The optical density of cells,cell apoptosis,the phosphoryla-tion of ERK1/2 and the expression of c-fos,Bax,Bcl-2 were detected after treated with relevant medicine for 48 h. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,optical density of cells,the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and Bcl-2 decreased in model group (P<0.01);apoptotic rate,the expression of c-fos and Bax increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group,optical density of cells,the expression of Bcl-2 and the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 increased in propofol group (P<0.01);apoptosis rate,the ex-pression of c-fos and Bax decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There were statistical significant between the different concentrations (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Propofol can inhibit the apoptosis of PC12 cells induced by glutamic acid,which is associated with the up-regulation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Centurion Vision System for subhixated cataract surgery.Methods Clinical data of 15 eyes with lens subluxation treated with Centurion Vision System were retrospectively reviewed.Ocular variables including visual acuity,intraocular pressure,corneal endothelial cell counts (CEC),central foveal retinal thickness (CFRT),intraocular lens (IOL) position,as well as intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed.Results The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.6 or better in 10 eyes (66.7％) 3 months after surgery,while the BCVA of the other 5 eyes was between 0.2 and 0.6 mainly due to pre-existing macular degeneration caused by high myopia or trauma.CEC and CFRT values demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the preoperative and all postoperative follow-ups (all P ＜ 0.05).Three months after surgery,no serious surgeryrelated complications,such as retinal detachment,IOL dislocation,suprachoroidal hemorrhage,macular edema,were observed.Conclusion Centurion Vision System can facilitate phacoemulsification in eyes with subluxated lenses,and this technique is safe and effective due to providing excellent outcomes and avoiding vitreoretinal complications.

BACKGROUND: Osteoblasts have become a kind of important seed cells in bone tissue engineering. However, it is difficult to harvest osteoblasts, and the purity and calcification ability of osteoblasts isolated by different methods are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE: To compare the purity and calcification ability of osteoblasts induced from mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, MC3T3 cell lines, and cultured primarily from the neonatal mouse cranium. METHODS: Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated by differential adhesion method, and after passaing, passage 3 cells were cultured in osteogenic induction medium for 21 days. MC3T3 cell lines were cultured in osteogenic induction media 1 and 2 for 21 days. Osteoblasts were cultured primarily from neonatal mouse cranium by type Ⅰ coll agenase digestion method. Calcium nodules of osteoblasts obtained by three methods were observed by Alizarin red staining to detect osteogenic activity of cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) There were average 16.3 calcium nodules per low-power field after osteogenic induction of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. (2) There were sparsely distributed calcium nodules in MC3T3 cells after induction with osteogenic induction medium 1, accounting for 1.7 calcium nodules per low-power field, while there were dense calcium nodules in MC3T3 cells after induction with osteogenic induction medium 2, accounting for 44.6 calcium nodules per low-power field. There was a significant difference in the calcium nodule formation ability between the two groups (P < 0.01). (3) After primary culture, there was only 0.6 calcium nodule per low-power field. (4) Except for the insignificant difference between osteogenic induction medium 1 and primary culture groups, there were significant differences in pair-wise comparison of any other two groups. Except the insignificant difference between group I of MC3T3 inducing conditional media and primary culture osteoblasts, there were significant differences in the osteogenic ability between groups (P < 0.01). In conclusion, it is a better method to culture MC3T3 cells in osteogenic induction medium 2 containing dexamethasone, because many uncontrol able factors are involved in the isolation and culture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective To evaluate different treatment modaltities for limited (local) hepatic metastasis in patients of colonic carcinoma Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis on 81 cases of colonic cancer suffering from hepatic local metastasis from 1987 to 2000 Results The 1、3、5 year survival rate was 85%、 46% and 32% respectively for patients underwent resection of metastatic liver cancer, and 26%、 0 and 0, respectively for those not having the metastatic liver cancer resected ( P 0 05) Conclusion Resection or ablation therapy promises a much longer long term survival than do nothing in colonic cancer patients with local liver metastatic tumor

Objective To investigate a safe and effective method of lengthening the short nose.Methods Thirty-nine cases of short nose were corrected by the bilateral septal spreader graft and columellar strut using autologous cartilage,combined with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE)to reconstruct the supporting structures to improve the forward and upward strength of the nasal tip in order to increase the nasal length and to correct the over rotation of nasal tip.The shield and cap grafts were also used for the patients whose nasal tip were too low with vertical dome division technique.Results All the patients showed preserved nasal length after surgery with well-proportioned nasal features and the nasal lip angles were normal.There was no evidence of postoperative nasal shortening.No operative or postoperative complications were observed by follow-up for 6 months to 1 year,except for 2 cases with graft cartilage being apparent on nasal tip.All the patients were satisfied with the surgical results achieved.Conclusions It is necessary to provide powerful forward and upward strength to lengthen nose and correct the over rotation of nasal tip effectively and safely.The application of bilateral septal spreader graft and columellar strut using autologous cartilage and combined with e-PTFE represents a valuable tool for the short nose and proper cartilage grafts of nasal tip can improve the height of the nasal tip and further correct the over rotation of the nasal tip.

Objective To evaluate the value of the clinical application of piezosurgery-assisted sliding genioplasty.Methods A total of 9 patients (7 women,2 man,aged 19-40 years) with microgenia were performed operation by intraoral V incision with subperiosteal exposure of the mandibular mentum area.Note relaxtion and preservation of the mental nerves.A horizontal osteotomy of cortical bone on anterior mandible was underwent by the conventional electric bone saw and internal plate bone was sectioned with the piezoelectric device.The segment was divided with preservation of the lingual soft tissue attachment and was advanced in the mandibular mentum area.These was fixed in the reposition by titanium plate and screw for preventing displacement.Results The piezoelectric device produced selective sectioning of the mineralized bone structures,bone was cut precisely without damage to vital anatomic structures and dental pulp,and was much easier to control and less aggressive,creating only minimal damage to soft tissues.The operative effects were satisfactory during 3- 6 months of follow-up.Stable chin contours were created and became nature.Iatrogenic problems with bleeding,in fection,mental nerve injury had been avoided.Conclusions Piezosurgery is a safe and precise technique to reduce the complication rate and to improve the treatment outcomes of genioplasties.
