Objective To summarize the experience of 11 orthotopic allogeneic heart transplantations for patients suffering from terminal heart disease, and to discuss how to improve the selection of donor and recipient, protection for the donated heart, postoperative treatment and immune surveillance suitable for our country. Methods 1.All the donated hearts were protected by perfusing cold modified St.Thomas cardioplegia and cold oxygenated blood. 2. Orthotopic heart transplantation was performed with the standard technique of medium low temperature extracorporeal circulation. 3. FK506, mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) and steroid were given to prevent rejection. 4. Troponin I, ? 1 and ? 2 microglobulin, C reactive protein (CRP), interleukins, lymphocyte subgroups and mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) were employed to monitor the immune rejection reactions. Furthermore, myocardial biopsy and coronary arteriography were conducted periodically. Results Three patients died of systemic failure and infection due to hepatic failure and mental disorder after operation. All the others survived with no complications. Conclusion Strictness in selection of the recipient, high quality of donor heart, correct early postoperative treatment and sound use of immunosurppressant are key to achieving successful cardiac transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the matching degree of donor's and receptor's tissue typing and analyze the relationship between the degree and the early survival of cardiac transplantation with donor's and receptor's tissue typing of 9 cases of cardiac transplantation. Methods In accordance with the international standard, donor's and receptor's blood type, HLA antibody, lymphocytotoxicity and panel reactive antibody were determined in 9 cases of cardiac transplantation, and the donor's and receptor's matching degree evaluated by methods of amino acid triplets and cross-reactive group. Results Of 9 cases, 6 survived while 3 died. Of the 3 dead cases, 2 came respectively from the two best comprehensively evaluated matching cases and two worst, and postoperative biopsy showed that there was no rejection in either survival cases or the dead cases. Conclusion With the effective immunosuppressant, the HLA typing doesn't affect the early survival.

ObjectiveTo study the clinical effects of X-kn ife in the treatment of intracranial meningiomas.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 52 cases of intracranial meningioma treated by X-knife was made.

Follow-up checkups consisted of clinical examina tions and contrast-enhanced CT scans.ResultsAfter the treatm ent, unilateral m ild hemiplegia occurred in 1 case (1 9%) and local epileptic attack occurred in 2 cases (3 8%). Imaging findings revealed asymptomatic transient peritumoral ed e ma in 12 cases (23 1%). Follow-up imaging lasting (3～92) months (mean, 23 mont hs ) in 40 cases (76 9%) found regression of tumor in 18 cases (45 0%) and unchan ge d tumor size in 22 cases (55 0%).ConclusionsX-knife is an e ffective and safe procedure for meningiomas.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of the dual channel deep brain s timulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD). MethodsThirte en patients with PD presenting bilateral symptoms underwent dual channel DBS of bilateral subthal amic nucleus. The targets were identified by a combination of MRI scanning and m icroelectrode recording. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores were evaluated postoperatively.ResultsAll the 13 patients w ere followed for 3 months～3 years, with a mean of 6 3 months. When the pulse generator was tur ned on, UPDRS motor scores showed 62 3% symptomatic improvement (75 5% improve me nt in those responsive to dopaminergic therapy) during the “off” status and 24 2% during the “on” status. No complications occurred.Conclusions DBS of bilateral subthalamic nucleus may significantly improve the motor functions in PD patients.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effects of microelectrode guided stereotactic pallidotomy and/or thalamotomy and deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the management of Parkinson's disease.MethodsA total of 510 patients with P arkinson's disease underwent stereotactic operations and 30 patients underwent D BS from April 1999 to March 2003. The 510 cases consisted of 385 cases of poster oventral pallidotomy (PVP), 91 cases of ventral intermedius (Vim) thalamotomy, 1 2 cases of PVP together with Vim thalamotomy on the same side, 8 cases of PVP on both sides at the same time, 10 cases of PVP on both sides at different times, and 4 cases of PVP on one side while Vim thalamotomy on the other at different t imes. Of the 30 cases of DBS (unilateral, 18 cases; bilateral, 12 cases), target s were located in subthalamic nucleus(STN) in 29 cases and ventralis intermedius nucl eus in 1 case.ResultsUnified Parkinson's disease rating scal e (UPDRS) scores were recorded postoperatively. Of the 510 cases, during the “off” and “on” stat es, symptoms improved by 47 3% and 38 7%, respectively. “On-off” phenomena a nd m otor symptoms disappeared. Follow-up information with a mean of 11 6 months in 2 20 cases revealed excellent outcomes in 130 cases (59 1%), improved in 75 (34 1%), a nd no change in 15 (6 8%). Of the 30 cases of DBS, during the “off” and “on ” state s, symptoms improved by 45 2% and 25 7%, respectively. All the 30 patients wer e followed for a mean of 10.3 months. No parameter adjustment was needed after 1 p ostoperative month in 18 cases, while the adjustment after operation was require d in the remaining 12 cases.ConclusionsPallidotomy is much m ore effective th an thalamotoy in Parkinson's patients with tremor. DBS can effectively control t he patient's motor symptoms.

Objective To summarize our experience on laparoscopic splenectomy with amputation of the secondary spleen pedicle. Methods From September 2006 to May 2007, laparoscopic splenectomy with amputation of the secondary spleen pedicle was performed on 13 patients, including 5 cases of traumatic spleen rupture, 2 idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and 6 hypersplenism. Results All the operations were completed under a laparoscope without using hand-assisted procedures. The intraoperative blood loss was 50-800 ml (mean, 350 ml), and the operation time was 150-300 min (mean, 210 min). No complications occurred during and after the operation. The average postoperative hospital stay was 5-9 d (mean, 7.5 d). The patients were followed up for 1-6 months, during which all the patients had normal platelet count. Conclusions Laparoscopic splenectomy with amputation of the secondary spleen pedicle is a feasible, minimally invasive, safe and low-cost procedure.

Objective To study the significance and expression of gelatinase A in human gastric cancers (GC). Method Gelatinase A expression in 36 cases of GC was examined by immunohistochemistry method. Results Expression of gelatinase A in GC (31/36) was much higher than that in paratumor tissues (7/18) or normal gastric tissues (2/14). There was no obvious correlation between the total gelatinase A staining and tumor size, Lauren typing . Intense expression of gelatinase A was freguently found in the advanced cancer, especially in GC with serosal invasion and lymph node metastasis, while expression of gelatinase A was not found in the early stage GC. Gelatinase A was shown to be expressed in the extracellur matrix of tumor tissues. The staining positive cells were mainly macrophages. Conclusions Gelatinase A expression could be used as a marker for evaluating the invasion and metastasis of GC. Macrophages may play an important role in this process.

Objective To study the value of two-dimensional Echocardiography(2DE)and doppler tissue synchronization imaging (TSI) during early diagnosis of close myocardial contusion.Methods 9 small Guizhou-Panama pigs were used.The close myocardial contusion animal model was successfully established by using the serf made small impactor.Echocardiography wag applied before and after injury for 0.5,2,4,8 and 12h respectively,these data were analyzed together with the TYC pathological results.Results After the strike for 0.5h,the location and area of the damage call be directly and rapidly shown by 2DE and TSI,which showed that after myocardial contusion (MC),main damaged areas are anterior and lateral myocardial walls.After myocardial contusion MC,three echocardiography techniques were used to observe the scale of the abnormal segment,the movement of the myocardial wall,Time tO Peak of Systolic Velocity and wall motion segmental inter(WMSI),Time to Peak of Systolic Velocity index(TPI),which all were increased than that pre-injury.Conclusion 2DE and TSI can be used for accurately early diagnosis of the location of myocardial contusion.TSI is more specific for the diagnosis of myocardial contusion.
