Objective: To investigate the cause and preventive measures of positive stump in gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods: Nine hundred forty-six patients performed with gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma had been collected from January 1998 to May 2009, the ratio of positive stump was analyzed retrospectively. Results: The rate of positive stump of gastrectomy was 6.24%(59/946). Statistical difference was found between the rate of radical and palliative gastrectomy(P0.05). Conclusion: The rate of positive stump was higher in palliative gastrectomy, Borrmann Ⅲ～IV type, low differentiated cancer and those cases with metastatic lymph nodes more than seven. To prevent the occurrence of positive stump in gastrectomy for gastric cancer, gastroscopy and barium meal should be carried out, enough length between incisal margin and tumor edge should be kept and frozen biopsy should be done.

Objective To investigate the kinectics characteristics of sulfation of apigenin mediated by SULTIA3.Methods After incubation of apigenin using in vitro SULT1A3 system, high-performance liquid chromatography was utilized to determine the sulfates of apigenin.Mass spectrum(MS) were employed to elucidate the structure of metabolite.The program GraphPad Prism 5 was used to perform the kinetic characterization of SULT1A3 catalyzed metabolism of apigenin.Results A liner calibration curve for the assay of apigenin was validated in the range of 0.15625 ~30 μM with the recoveries of at least 80% and intra-day and inter-day RSD of less than 15%.Metabolic product of apigenin and SULT1A3 in the incubated system was identified one monosulfate.The metabolic behavior of apigenin in SULT1A3 was followed substrate inhibition kinetics.Apparent kinetic parameters of metabolism of apigenin by SULT1A3, Kmwas(0.355 ±1.04) μM and Ksi was(23.62 ±0.06) μM,Vmax was(65.71 ±1.30) nmol/(min? mg),Vmax/Km was 185.10 mL/(min? mg).Conclusion SULT1A3 can mediate the binding of apigenin sulfonated reaction, and the character of enzymatic kinetics shows substrate inhibition.Sulfation of apigenin mediated by SULTIA3 may play an important role in phaseⅡmetabolic in vivo.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between stenosis of intra- or extra-cranial cerebral large artery and capsular warning syndrome(CWS). Methods Eleven consecutive CWS patients hospitalized during period of time from November 2008 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.Result In these 11 patients with CWS, 5 patients had motor symptoms only, 4 patients had pure sensory symptoms, and 2 patients had sensorimotor symptoms. Ten patients underwent cervical contrast-enhanced MRA and intracranial MRA examination. The results showed no sign of arterial stenosis. Seven CWS patients eventually had strokes, 1 progressed to stroke despite receiving the therapy of antiplatelet and anticoagulation. All stroke lesions were located in the capsula interna. All the CWS patients had vascular risks: 7 were smoker, 8 had hypertension, 1 had diabetes mellitus, and 5 had hyperlipidemia. One patient had a history of previous stroke; no patient had a history of ischemic heart disease or atrial fibrillation. At follow-up(10. 2 ±3.4)mouths, the average modified Rankin scale score for all patients was 0. 73 ± 1.20.Conclusion CWS was not associated with stenosis of the intra and extra-cranial large cerebral arteries.CWS may be associated with small-vessel single-penetrator disease.

BACKGROUND: Intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities result in the right-to-left shunting and severe hypoxemia in liver transplantation candidates. Currently, a convenient, sensitive and effective method is absent to screen the intrapulmonary vascular dilatations.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of contrast-enhanced echocardiography on clinical diagnosis of intrapulmonary shunting in liver transplantation candidates.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The experiment, prospective controlled observation based on cases, was performed at the Hepatology Unit of the 458 Hospital of PLA (Guangzhou, Guangdong, China) from February 2004 to February 2006.PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-four consecutive liver transplantation candidates were recruited from the Hepatology Unit of the 458Hospital of PLA.METHODS: Routine examination was conducted under the condition without any regimen of vascular dilatation drugs.Contrast-enhanced echocardiography was applied to detect the prevalence of right-to-left shunting in the patients with end-stage liver disease. The microvesicle of the left ventricle in patients was qualitatively assessed by a score from 1+ to 3+. Accordingly, all patients were divided into two groups: intrapulmonary shunting and non-intrapulmonary shunting.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The prevalence of right-to-left shunting and clinical characteristics of liver transplantation candidates were determined.RESULTS: Ten (41.7%) of 24 patients with positive contrast-enhanced echocardiography were proved to develop the intrapulmonary right-to-left shunting, including 6 for l+ and 4 for 2+ by left ventricle abnormality, which emerged after 6-10 cardiac cycles of right ventricle abnormality. There were no significant differences in age, gender, arterial blood gas analysis and liver function tests between the two groups (P > 0.05). Echocardiography results demonstrated that, the upper digestive tract hemorrhage,spleen thickness that indicated portal hypertension, pulmonary artery systolic pressure and Tei index were significandy higher in the patients of intrapulmonary shunting than in those of non-intrapulmonary shunting (P<0.05-0.01 ).CONCLUSION: Intrapulmonary vascular dilatation occurs frequently in liver transplantation candidates associated with intrapulmonary shunting but without hypoxemia. Contrast-enhanced echocardiography is a sensitive and non-invasive method for the early diagnosis of intrapulmonary vascular dilatation. The pathogenic cause is portal hypertension. Tel index can be used as an important parameter for evaluating right ventricular function in patients of intrapulmonary vascular dilatation.

Objective To evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of endoscopic radial incision( ERI) for benign stricture of esophageal anastomosis. Methods Clinical data of 17 patients with benign stricture of e?sophageal anastomosis undergoing ERI from October 2013 to September 2014 were retrospectively studied. Im?provement of clinical symptom and treatment?related complication or discomfort were intensively analysed. Re?sults All 17 patients successfully received ERI procedures, and the mean operating time was 10 minutes with a mean of 4 incisions. Obvious bleeding and mis?cut of normal mucosa occurred in 1 case, and this patient was cured by endoscopic hemostasis, gastrointestinal decompression and administration of antibiotics. Heartburn oc?curred in 5 patients and disappeared spontaneously without other complications or discomfort. Dysphagia score decreased from 3?11 to 0?90 in the second day after ERI(P<0?01).The mean follow?up time was 15?5 months ( range 9?20 months) . The dysphagia score showed no significant difference between the follow?up period and the second day after ERI ( P>0?05 ) . Conclusion ERI is simple, safe and effective for treating benign stricture of esophageal anastomosis.

Objective To determine the effects of feeding donor human milk versus formula milk on very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) and extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWI).Methods The Cochrane library,PubMed,EMBASE,Wanfang,CNKI and VIP database were searched for the randomized controlled trials (RCT) that compare donor human milk with formula milk in VLBWI and ELBWI from the establishment of database up to February 2014.The quality of the included studies was assessed.Meta analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2.9 software.The results were expressed by mean difference (MD) and 95％CI for continuous variables,RR and 95％CI for categorical variables.Results Only five trials were included:in quality evaluation,two trials were graded B,and the other three were graded C.Meta-analysis showed that,compared with the formula milk,feeding of donor human milk could reduce the risk ofnecrotizing enterocolitis (RR=0.36,95％CI:0.18-0.73,P＜0.01),but not the risks of sepsis (RR=0.92,95％CI:0.50 1.72,P=0.80),retinopathy of prematurity (RR=1.21,95％CI:0.84-1.74,P=0.31) and in-hospital mortality (RR=0.66,95％CI:0.18-2.37,P=0.52).The significantly lower rates in weight gains in neonatal period (MD=-6.58,95％CI:-11.19 to-1.98,P＜0.01) and body length (MD=-0.30,95％CI:-0.41 to-0.20,P＜0.01)were found in donor human milk compared with formula milk.No significant difference in head circumference (MD=-0.16,95％CI:-0.33 to 0.01,P=0.13) was seen in comparison of donor human milk with formula milk.Conclusions Feeding with donor human milk can reduce the risk ofnecrotizing enterocolitis in VLBWI and ELBWI,but its effects on neonatal growth need to be further studied in large scale RCT.

AIM:This study continuously monitors the hemodynamic changes in conscious and anesthetic rats during rapid ascent to high altitude to investigate whether there is difference between the 2 conditions and discuss the rela-ted underlying mechanism.METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into conscious group, anesthetic group, anesthetic-5000-control ( A-5000-control) group, anesthetic-5000-aminoguanidine ( A-5000-AG) group, conscious-5000-control ( C-5000-control ) group and conscious-5000-aminoguanidine ( C-5000-AG ) group.The rats in anesthetic group and conscious group were kept in a hypobaric chamber, in which the simulated altitude was increased from 2 260 m to 5 000 m at 2 m/s, and the rats in other 4 groups were at 5 000 m.The system arterial pressure ( Psa) , central venous pressure ( CVP) , heart rate ( HR) and breathing rate ( BR) were directly and continuously displayed and digitally recorded by a high-performance data acquisition (PowerLab 16/35, AD Instruments) at 200 Hz.RESULTS: The HR and BR in the conscious rats were higher and MAP was lower than those in the anesthetic rats obviously.A significant decrease in mean arterial pressure ( MAP) in conscious and anesthetic groups was observed following the increase in the altitude levels, and the net decrease in MAP in conscious group was significantly greater.Additionally, HR in the conscious rats was sig-nificantly lower at 5 000 m than that of the initial level.The rats in C-5000-AG group and A-5000-AG group showed a sig-nificant increase in the arterial pressure after the intravenous injection of AG, a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS) , and no marked change of HR and BR was found.CONCLUSION: Blood pressure and HR decrease during rapid ascent to high altitude, while the change of BR is not obvious.The mechanisms of self-safety would be trig-gered in the early stage of hypoxia, which activates iNOS and then leads to a larger number of nitric oxide.Plentiful NO di-astolizes the vessels to improve the ventilation-perfusion mismatch and lower the blood pressure.When the altitude arise to 5 000 m, even more earlier, a decompensatory stage may occur in the body, leading to decreased HR and blood pressure further more than those in the anesthetic rats.Due to the effects of pentobarbital sodium, the depression of blood pressure requires a lag period and the net decrease in MAP is less than that in the conscious rats.Therefore, hemodynamic changes during rapid ascent to high altitude in conscious rats are more comprehensive and authentic.

To determine the inhibition of IL-13 by recombinant sIL-13Rα2 in NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells for its potential therapeutic value in hepatic fibrosis caused by Schistosoma japanicum in mice . IL-13 and sIL-13Rα2 from liver of BALB/c mice infected with S.japonicum at different infection time (weeks 0,6,8,10 and 12) were analyzed by ELISA and RT-PCR. The recombinant sIL-13Rα2 expression plasmidwas constructed, followed by transfection into NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells. TypeⅠcollagen produced by NIH-3T3 cells were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. It was demonstrated that the expression of IL-13 increased gradually after infection, reached peak density (16.1586 pg/mL)at week 8 and then reduced but was still higher than the level of control mice(3.4146 pg/mL;P =0.017 ). The secretion of sIL-13R α2 reached to its peak 10 weeks after infection(4827.426 pg/mL)and then reduced slowly but still higher than normal(4057.112 pg/mL; P=0.021). Meanwhile, the changes in mRNA level of IL-13 and sIL-13R α2 were coincided with that examined by ELISA. Both IL-13 and sIL-13Rα2 reached their peak density (P=0.033) at week 8 and 10 (P=0.025) respectively, and they were followed by a slower degree of decrease. The sIL-13Rα2 could significantly inhibit the effect of IL-13 on NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells, showing decreased mRNA level(P =0.012)and protein level of typeⅠcollagen compared with normal groups(P =0.031). It is concluded that the sIL-13Rα2 can inhibit the effect of IL-13 on NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells which leads to a reduced production of typeⅠcollagen, demonstrating its potential therapeutic value in hepatic fibrosis of schistosomiasis.
