Objective To study the effect of postoperative anticoagulant therapy after splenectomy in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension.Methods One hundred and forty patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension receiving splenectomy and periesophagastric devascularization were divided into anticoagulant group (76 cases) and control group (64 cases) by random number table,patients in anticoagulant group received postoperative anticoagulant therapy,principally according to the platelet count,gave ligustrazine,aspirin,low molecular heparin after operation; patients in control group without postoperative anticoagulant therapy.Postoperative monitoring platelet count and D-dimer,ultrasound or CT check the presence of portal vein thrombosis.Results Platelet count,D-dimer levels in anticoagulant group and control group in 2 days after operation were significantly increased,the difference was significant compared with preoperative [anticoagulant group:(95.73 ± 28.06) × 109/L vs.(38.41 ± 11.96) × 109/L,(3.61 ± 0.18) mg/L vs.(0.42 ± 0.09) mg/L;control group:(92.56 ± 27.75) × 109/L vs.(35.13 ± 11.38) × 109/L,(3.26 ± 0.16) mg/L vs.(0.37 ± 0.09) mg/L,P ＜ 0.05].Platelet count and D-dimer levels between two groups at preoperative and postoperative in 2 days had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).Ten cases of control group occurred postoperative portal vein thrombosis,anticoagulant group were 3 cases,portal vein thrombosis incidence of anticoagulant group [3.95％ (3/76)] compared with control group [15.62％(10/64)] was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Postoperative anticoagulant therapy after splenectomy in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension is an effective method to prevent portal vein thrombosis.

BACKGROUND:The thermosensitive chitosan is a kind of chitosan, its hemostatic effect, tissue compatibility andin vivo absorption need further investigations.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the hemostasis,in vivo degradation and tissue compatibility of thermosensitive chitosan hemostatic film.
METHODS: A total of 48 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups, and carried out two
experiments at the same time. (1) The incisions of the liver in three groups were covered with the thermosensitive chitosan hemostatic film, celulose hemostatic cotton and gelatin sponge, respectively. Blank control group
received no treatment. The bleeding time and bleeding amount were recorded. (2) The incisions of the quadriceps femoris muscle of rats in the above three groups were embedded with the same hemostatic materials respectively. Blank control group was not embedded. At 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 weeks, the incision tissues of the liver and the quadriceps femoris muscle were harvested for observation. After 4 weeks, the incisions were observed with hematoxylin-
eosin staining and transmission electron microscopy.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The bleeding time and bleeding amount of thermosensitive chitosan hemostatic film and celulose hemostatic cotton groups were significantly lower than those of gelatin sponge and blank
control groups (P < 0.05). After 6 weeks, the thermosensitive chitosan hemostatic film was absorbed completely. After 3 weeks, the celulose hemostatic cotton was absorbed completely. After 2 weeks, the gelatin sponge was absorbed completely. The liver lobules of thermosensitive chitosan hemostatic film were complete, the liver cellwere normal structure, showing light sweling and little inflammatory cellinfiltration. Under transmission electron
microscopy, the liver cels had integral structure, cellnucleus and organeles remained intact. The muscle fibers showed complete structure and little inflammatory cellinfiltration. Under transmission electron microscopy, the muscle fibers
ranked tidily, with integral cellnucleus and organeles. The thermosensitive chitosan hemostatic film has good hemostasis effect and tissue compatibility.

Aim To investigate the effect of small inter-ference RNA-mediated silcencing of the Bmi-1 gene on cell invasion and metastasis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-1 . Methods Chemically syn-thesized siRNA targeting the Bmi-1 gene was transfect-ed into CNE-1 cells, which had high invasive and me-tastatic potential. The expression of Bmi-1 mRNA and protein were detected by quantative Real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. The effects of Bmi-1 knockdown on CNE-1 cells migration and invasion were analysied by Transwell migration assay and Matrigel in-vasion assay. Results Transfected with Bmi-1 siRNA significantly down-regulated the expression of Bmi-1 mRNA and protein as compared with the control group. CNE-1 cells transfected with Bmi-1 siRNA had lower levels of invasion and migration capacity than cells in the control group. Conclusion SiRNA-media-ted silencing of the Bmi-1 gene could significantly in-hibit cell migration and invasion in human nasopharyn-geal carcinoma cell line CNE-1 .

Objective To investigate the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α expression (HIF-1α) on toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway-mediated rat lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI).Method Forty-five S-D rats were randomly divided into Sham group,LIRI group,LIRI+ TLR4-activated group,LIRI+ TLR4-inhibited group,LIRI + ASK1-inhibited group,LIRI + p38-inhibited group,and LIRI + HIF-1α-inhibited group.The interaction between TLR4 signaling pathway [including TLR4,myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88),TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-βTIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β (TRIF),Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) and p38] and HIF-1α and the role of TLR4-dependent HIF-1α in LIRI in vivo were analyzed.Result In LIRI,HIF-1α accumulation was induced in a TLR4-dependent fashion,and MyD88,but not TRIF,and activation of ASK1 and P38 were found to be critical for TLR4-mediated HIF-1α accumulation.HIF-1α protein played a critical role in TLR4-mediated lung injury of LIRI.HIF-1α up-regulated TLR4 expression in LIRI in a positive feedback manner.Conclusion We identify that HIF-1α has a damaging effect on TLR4 signaling pathway-mediated LIRI and TLR4-HIF-1 may synergistically involved in the development of LIRI.Therefore we suggest that the interaction between them may represent a novel therapeutic target for the development of novel target-based therapies of LIRI.

Objective To discuss the benefits of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) applied in the patients with primary or secondary pulmonary hypertension during the operation of lung transplantation. Methods Thirty cases of end stage lung disease subject to primary or secondary pulmonary hypertension received lung transplantation supported with ECMO between Nov. 2005 and July 2009. The single lung transplantation was performed on 18 cases and bilateral sequential single lung transplantation on 12 cases. ECMO was used in 2 patients as a bridge to the lung transplantation to maintain 19 and 6 days respectively, and ECMO support was given during lung transplantation. ECMO was removed after the transplantation if the oxygenation and hemodynamics were stable, otherwise, ECMO was applied continuously until the situation improved. Results All the operations of these patients were accomplished successfully and the ECMO was removed in 27 patients after the operation immediately. The average time with ECMO was 6. 81 + 0. 95 h, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure after lung transplantation was 31.67 + 8. 42 mmHg. The ECMO was continuously used after lung transplantation in three patients until the hemodynamics was stable, and ECMO in 2 of them was removed at 36th h and 6th day respectively after the operation, and one,receiving postoperative ECMO for 5 days, died of acute renal failure 2 weeks after the operation.Conclusion ECMO can replace CPB safely and effectively in lung transplantations for primary or secondary pulmonary hypertension patients. As a respiratory and circulatory support it can control pulmonary hypertension during operative period and can decrease the complications of lung transplantation.

Objective To investigate the HBV reactivation status and clinic outcomes in the renal allograft recipients with inactive HBsAg carriers,and explore the preventive measures.Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical manifestation was processed in 88 cases of inactive HBsAg carriers before and after renal transplantation.Preoperative liver function in all cases was normal and serum HBsAg positive,HBV DNA＜106 copies/L.Tacrolimus (or cyclosporine A) + mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) + prednisone were given in prevention of rejection after transplantation.In 88 cases,56 cases were given nucleoside analogues (acid) for prophylactic antiviral therapy,in which 31 cases were given lamivudine (LAM) (LAM group),25 cases were given entecavir (ETV) (ETV group) ; The rest 32 cases were not given prophylactic antiviral therapy,only receiving routine liver-protecting therapy (inosine,glucurolactone) (control group).Incidence of HBV re-activation,liver function,response to treatment and the pathological changes of hepatic tissue were observed.Results During the follow-up period,the incidence of HBV reactivation in LAM group and ETV group was 45.2％ and 28.0％ respectively,significantly lower than in control group (84.4％,P＜ 0.05).In prophylactic treatment groups,HBV reactivation occurred later,liver function damage was milder,and HBV DNA load peak was lower (P＜0.05).In LAM group,HBV reactivation occurred in 14 cases,including 10 cases occurred during administration of LAM,and ETV treatment was given for about 2 months,serum HBV DNA levels in 7 cases were under detection line;in the rest 4 cases,HBV reactivation occurred in patients with treatment less than 1 year and noncompliance,who withdrew medicine blindly.After the original scheme of antiviral therapy was done,serum HBV DNA levels in 3 cases were under detection line,and the effect was not obvious in one case.In control group,HBV reactivation occurred in 27 cases.Fourteen cases therefore accepted nucleoside (acid) analogs antiviral therapy,and HBV DNA levels in 10 cases were under detection line.Histological examination revealed the liver with fibrotic cholestatic hepatitis changes in 9 patients,including 8 cases in control group,and 1 case in LAM group due to blind withdrawal of medicine.Conclus(i)on LAM and ETV prophylactic use may decrease the HBV reactivation rate in inactive HBsAg carriers after renal transplantation,reduce the severity of liver damage and the occurrence of fibrotic cholestatic hepatitis.

Objective To observe the effects of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on coagulation during lung trangplantation.Method Forty cases of end stage lung diseases received bilateral sequential single lung transplantation during July 2007 and Mar.2012.The patients were divided into two groups in terms of ECMO.ECMO was applied before lung transplantation if needed.The amount of bleeding during surgery was recorded.The venous blood samples were collected during and after operation for the measurements of the following parameters:activated whole blood clot time (ACT),prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),thrombin time (TT) and plasma fibrinogen (Fg).Result The coagulation and the amount of bleeding showed no significant difference between the two groups.Wound infection occurred in 2 patients where the ECMO tube was inserted and femoral arterial thrombosis in one patient.All of the three patients were cured and discharged.Conclusion ECMO didn't cause excessive bleeding or coagulation dysfunction during lung transplantation,yet it maybe increase the occurrence of local thrombosis.

Objective To evaluate the effects of ambroxol on prevention of bronchopulmonary complications after thoracotomy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).MethodsTotal 161 elderly patients aged ≥70 years with COPD undergoing thoracotomy were randomly allocated to two groups:ambroxol group (300 mg/d,6 d) and placebo group as control.Pulmonary complications were evaluated by clinical symptoms,radiographic changes,and blood gas analysis. Results The incidence rates of atelectasis were 8.6％ in ambroxol group and 28.8％ in placebo group,respectively.The PaO2 values after surgery in ambroxol group decreased more than in placebo group (P＜0.05) compared with the preoperative values.Side effects were not found in all patients.Conclusions Ambroxol should be considered as an alternative pharmacologic approach for the prevention of post-thoracotomy pulmonary complications in the elderly patients with COPD.

Objective To explore the perioperative application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in lung transplantation. Methods Thirty patients with primary and end-stage pulmonary disease accompanied by pulmonary hypertension were subjected to operation under the accessory of ECMO. Eighteen patients received single-lung transplantation and 12 patients bilateral sequential lung transplantation without sternal division in our hospital from November 2005 to July 2009. In 2 patients ECMO was given before operation and maintained for 19 days and 6 days respectively. In the remaining patients, ECMO pipeline was placed after anesthesia. After lung trarnsplantation,ECMO was removed after the recipients' oxygen saturation and hemodynamics were stable. Results In all recipients lung transplantation was successfully done. ECOM was removed in 27recipients after operation, and the rest 3 recipients were supported by ECMO after operation: the ECMO was removed at 36th h and 7th day after lung transplantation in two patients respectively,and another one was supported by ECMO for 5 days after operation and suffered acute kidney failure, and died of multiple organ failure 2 weeks post-transplantation. Two recipients were infected in thigh arteriovenous cut and one suffered femoral artery thrombosis, but all of them got better and discharged from hospital after treatment. Conclusion ECMO can be used for lung transplantation on patients with primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension. The complications may be associated with patients'serious condition and unstable hemodynamics. Early detection and active and effective treatment can improve patient's prognosis.
