Objective To study the in vitro culture condition for melanoblasts from human foreskin tissue. Methods The skin tissue taken from foreskin of children was treated with 0.5% dispase Ⅱ to separate epidermis from dermis, then with trypsin to obtain single cell suspension, which was cultured in modified medium for melanoblasts, i.e., MCDB254 medium supplied with several cell growth factors. Finally, melanoblasts were obtained based on the difference of adhesion speed. The morphology and proliferation of cultured melanoblasts were observed under a light microscope. DOPA staining, immunostaining with anti- S-100 and -tyrosinase related protein 2 (TRP2) antibodies, and transmission electron microscopy were per- formed to identify the cultured melanoblasts. Results The cultured human melanocytes displayed a match-like shape, scattered arrangement, syrmnetric double poles, slim cell body, highly refractive nuclei; meanwhile, the melanoblasts exhibited plentiful cytoplasm, large volume, bipolar or irregular shape and clonal growth. Additionally, the melanocytes were positive for TRP2, S-100 and Dopa staining, while the melanoblasts were positive only for TRP2. Electron microscopy revealed the presence of mature melanin granules (stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ ) in melanocytes but immature melanin granules (stage Ⅰ ) in melanoblasts. Conclu- sion Stable pure culture of melanoblasts has been realized with the reformed medium, which may lay a foundation for the investigation into the mechanism of epidermal pigmentation.

Objective To establish a porcine model of penetrating-suture pancreaticojejunostomy.Methods Ten domestic pigs were selected,and after general anesthesia they underwent laparotomy and the pancreas was visualized.Then the pancreas was dissected at the level of superior mesenteric vascular,and the proximal pancreatic stump was sewed up.The anastomosis between the distal pancreatic stump and the intestinal wall adopted penetrating-suture pancreaticojejunostomy; the digestive tract was reconstructed by Roux-en-Y.Results The anastomosis with penetrating-suture pancreaticojejunostomy was successful in ten domestic pigs.The mean pancreatic stump diameter was 2.5 cm,and the mean pancreatic duct diameter was 1.5 mm,the mean time for operation was 1.0 ～ 2.5 h,and the average time of pancreaticojejunostomy was 8 minutes.The mean blood loss was 25 ml.After operation,diarrhea occurred in 2 pigs and wound infection occurred in 1 pig,and all were cured with appropriate management.No pig died intra-operatively,and no pancreatic fistula or death occurred after operation.Conclusions A porcine model of penetrating-suture pancreaticojejunostomy is successfully established.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological features of IgA nephrolpathy associated with malignant hypertension (IgAN-MHT) and to analyze their correlation with renal vascular lesions. Methods Twenty-nine patients of IgAN-MHT were screened from 2000 biopsy-proven eases with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in our department from April 1997 to May 2007. Data of clinicopathology and follow-up of these 29 patients were collected. Semi- quantitative analysis was performed to evaluate the pathological changes. Inner lumen, outer lumen, intimal thickness, tunica media-to-internal lumen ratio of 436 arterioles, 124 interlobular arteries and 5 arcuate arteries were measured. The primary endpeint was the composite of a doubling of serum creatinine level and ESRD. Correlations of renal vascular lesions with clinical manifestation, pathological change and prognosis were examined by Spearman and Cox methods. Results 1.5% of all the IgAN patients presented malignant hypertension. The common clinical features were renal failure (100%), hyperurieacidemia (62.7%) and hypertriglyceridemia (51.7%). The average amount of urine protein excretion was 2.8 g/d. The common pathological changes were moderate mesangial proliferation, severe global sclerosis, severe interstitial inflammation and severe interstitial- tubular fibrosis. The small arteries (arcuate arteries and interlobular arteries) and arterioles (afferent arterioles) were both involved in IgAN-MHT. The characteristic lesions of intrarenal arteries included vascular occlusion, media thickening, proliferative endarteritis (onionskin lesion, musculomucoid intimal hyperplasia), hyaline arteriosclerosis, but mainly vascular occlusion (86.2%). The arteriole lesion was negatively correlated with age and total protein level; vascular occlusion was positively correlated with uric acid level. The average foUow-up period was 21.1 months. Forteen patients reached the endpoint. The arteriole lesion was the main independent risk factor for the progression of IgAN-MHT (RR=10.21, 95%CI=1.16～89.67). Conclusions The main clinical feature of IgAN-MHT is renal failure. The main histological feature of intrarenal vascular lesions is occludes arterioles. Arteriole lesion is the main independent risk factor for the progression of IgAN-MHT.

Objective To study the ralationship of arrhythmias and heart electrical parameters changes after transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD) .Method 50 patients had been successfully finnished the transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect,and then we observed ralationship of arrhythmias and heart electrical parameters changes. Results (1) Compared with the situation of VSD occluder preoperative and postoperative, during follow-up there were 20 arrhythmia cases, including bundle branch block 16 cases, including the complete left bundle branch block 2 cases,complete right bundle branch block 4 cases,a transient third-degree trioventricular conduction block 1 case, most return to normal in the follow-up. 2 Intracavitary electrogram showed before and after transcatheter closure:A-V conduction parameters A-H,H-V value of (75.10 ± 14.34) ms vs (80.67±23.03) ms and (47.9±12.61) ms vs (50.07±15.23) ms,the difference was not statistically significant ( >0.05) . Conclusions (1) Some patients with new ECG changes after transcatheter closure of VSD, manifested as an increase in bundle branch block in a week, but most return to normal,the prognosis is good. (2) Intraoperative A-H,H-V extension is not related with with postoperative slow arrhythmia;(3) Arrhythmia is a common complication after VSD transcatheler closure, to strictly selecte indications,and to avoid too large diameter are the effective measures to reduce the arrhythmias after transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD) .

Objective To analyze and summarize the treatment strategies for unstable angina with no-reflow phenomenon after PTCA during early percutaneous interventional procedures.Methods A total of 32 cases with unstable angina were divided into two groups:one group with drug therapy and the other group with drug therapy and thrombus aspiration catheter.The patients were chosen when there was no-reflow phenomenon after PTCA during early percutaneous interventional procedures and their clinical data were compared and analyzed.Blood flow TIMI grade,myocardial perfusion grade (MBG),TIMI myocardial perfusion (TMP) grade and other indexes were observed and recorded.Results The general conditions had no statistical difference between two groups.Compared with the drug therapy group,the proportion of patients with TIMI,MBG and TMP grade 3 was higher in aspiration and drug therapy group (89％ VS 71％ P＜0.05).Conclusion Drug therapy and thrombus aspiration catheter in treatment helps to improve myocardial perfusion level for unstable angina with no no-reflow phenomenon after PTCA during early percutaneous interventional procedures.

ObjectiveTo find out the incidence of triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC) in all kinds of breast cancers.To compare and analyze the clinicopathological features,recurrence,metastasis,and prognosis of patients with TNBC and non-triple negative breast cancer (non-TNBC).MethodsThe clinicopathological features and follow-up data of 387 patients with primary breast cancer histopathologically conffirmed in our hospital from Sep.2004 to Sep.2006 were retrospectively analyzed.The 387 patients were divided into 2 groups:79 cases of TNBC and 308 cases of non-TNBC.The clinical features and prognosis of the 2 groups were compared.Results Compared with non-TNBC group,patients in TNBC group had their special features:1.higher ratio of patients ＜ 35 years( P =0.012 ) ; 2.higher ratio of patients with family history of breast cancer( P =0.031 ) ; 3.higher ratio of tumors with maximum diameter ≥ 5 cm ( P =0.044 ) ; 4. higher ratio of patients with positive lymph nodes(P =0.011 ) ; 5.higher ratio of tumors in clinical stage Ⅲ(P =0.007) ; 6.higher ratio of tumors in histological stage Ⅲ(P =0.028 ).The 5-year-disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rate for patients with TNBC were 72.15％ and 88.61％ respectively,lower than those of non-TNBC ( P =0.003 and 0.031 respectively).ConclusionsCompared with non-TNBC patients,patients with TNBC have the features of younger age,more advanced clinical stage upon diagnose,higher rate of lymph node metastasis,larger tumors,higher histological grade,faster and easier recurrence and metastasis,and lower rate of DFS and OS.The information of age,the maximum diameter of the tumor,lymph node status,clinical stage,histological grade and pathological types,especially the age and lymph node status,play an important role in predicting the prognosis of TNBC.

Objective According to radiation therapy (6WV-X line) on experimental gerbils which were successfully infected by echinococcus granulosus,the outcomes of bone hydatid disease after radiation therapy were studied.Methods Totally 240 gerbil models that were infected bone hydatid disease,were randomly divided into three groups (each group was further divided into three-month and six-month groups,40 gerbils per group),one group as a control group,the 40 Gy/5 times and 50 Gy/5 times groups were given 6WV-X line radiation therapy.After 5 consecutive radiation therapies,stopped for two days and then repeated for five times.At the end of three and six months after radiotherapy,the rate of death and the ulceration or infection of the lesions was compared.Fifteen gerbils from each group were randomly selected to observe the deaths of scolex,protein and calcium concentration changes,the maximum diameter changes of the lesions,the changes of hydatid cyst wet weight and the rate of suppressing capsule,the bone destruction,and rebuilding situation of lesions under a microscope.Results At the end of three and six months after radiation therapy,with increasing dosage,the deaths decreased significantly (x2 =10.4,17.4,all P ＜ 0.05);the ulceration or infection of the lesions decreased significantly (x2 =6.0,10.1,all P ＜ 0.05);the mortality rate of scolex increased [3 month:(22.4 ± 3.1),(95.0 ± 5.2),(136.0 ± 5.4);6 month:(23.2 ± 2.2),(98.2 ± 4.6),(169.3 ± 7.0);F =2 252.5,3 220.3,all P ＜ 0.05];the concentration of protein and the calcium ion were changed significantly [3 month:(1.059 ± 0.056),(0.733 ± 0.051),(0.571 ± 0.043)g/L and (2.802 ± 0.157),(3.056 ± 0.060),(3.546 ± 0.135)mmol/L;6 month:(1.088 ± 0.043),(0.753 ± 0.034),(0.340 ± 0.032)g/L and (2.804 ± 0.019),(3.068 ± 0.052),(3.886 ± 0.046)mmol/L;F =366.0,138.9 and 1 550.5,2 727.3,all P ＜ 0.05];the maximum diameters of the lesions reduced significantly [3 month:(2.38 ± 0.14),(1.69 ± 0.05),(1.40 ± 0.09)cm;6 month:(2.65 ± 0.05),(1.69 ± 0.03),(1.03 ± 0.06)cm;F =372.5,3 846.1,all P ＜ 0.05];the hydatid cyst wet weight decreased significantly [3 month:(3.47 ± 0.11),(2.54 ± 0.12),(1.46 ± 0.07)g;6 month:(3.75 ± 0.31),(2.55 ± 0.08),(1.02 ± 0.20)g;F =1 475.6,608.0,all P ＜ 0.05].In the same group with time went on,in the control and 40 Gy/5 times group,the deaths gradually increased (x2 =4.3,4.6,all P ＜ 0.05),but in the 50 Gy/5 times group,the deaths was not significantly increased (x2 =1.1,P ＞ 0.05);in the control and 40 Gy/5 times group,the ulceration or infection of the lesions gradually increased (x2 =5.5,4.3,all P ＜ 0.05),but in the 50 Gy/5 times group,the ulceration or infection of the lesions did not change significantly (x2 =0.3,P ＞ 0.05);in the 50 Gy/5 times group,the mortality rate of scolex was significantly increased (F =212.6,P ＜ 0.05);in 50 Gy/5 times group,the protein (calcium) concentration decreased (increased) significantly (F =271.8,84.7,all P ＜ 0.05);the maximum diameters of the lesions increased gradually in the control group (F =47.1,P ＜ 0.05),in 50 Gy/5 times group,the maximum diameters of the lesions decreased gradually (F =188.3,P ＜ 0.05);in the control group,hydatid cyst wet weight increased significantly (F =10.7,P ＜ 0.05),in the 50 Gy/5 times group,hydatid cyst wet weight was significantly reduced (F =68.5,P ＜ 0.05);with increasing dosage,the damage of the bone matrix and the cells in lacunae of the lesions gradually increased,in the same group with time went on,in the control group,a few amount of bone cells in lacuna died,and in 40 Gy/5 times and 50 Gy/5 times groups,the bone matrix and bone cells were partially repaired.Conclusion The long-term effects of appropriate dosage (50 Gy/5 times) radiation on experiments hydatid diseased gerbils are affirmed,but it is still need a clinical validation.

Objective To explore the relationship of hepatitis B virus surface antigen(HBsAg)infec-tion and family history of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)with age at primary liver cancer. Methods Totally 1 359 cases of primary liver cancer were enrolled. Their data of sex,HBsAg status and family history informa-tions of liver cancer were analyzed on the associations with diagnosis age. Results Of the 1 359 cases,1 053 were males and 306 were females,their average age at diagnosis was(54. 02 ± 10. 47)years(20-84 years). For HBsAg positive cases,the average age at diagnosis was 51. 99,significantly younger than that of HBsAg negative cases(61. 23),t = 13. 51,P = 0. 000. Cases with family history of HCC were diagnosed at a signifi-cantly earlier age than those without family history(52. 53 vs 55. 23,t = 4. 389,P = 0. 000). In HBsAg posi-tive cases,the average age at diagnosis showed a significant difference not only between males and females (51. 18 vs 54. 89,t = 5. 353,P = 0. 000),but also between cases with family history and cases without family history(51. 33 vs 52. 62,t = 2. 233,P = 0. 026). In HBsAg negative cases,the average age at diagnosis of males and females were 60. 83 and 62. 45 respectively(t = 1. 126,P = 0. 261). The average age at diagnosis of cases with family history and cases without family history were 59. 58 and 61. 92 respectively(t = 1. 728,P =0. 085),both showed no significant difference. Conclusion Cases of primary liver cancer with positive-HBsAg are diagnosed averagely 9. 24 years younger than those with negative-HBsAg in Qidong. Sex and family history of HCC significantly advance hepatocarcinogenesis only in HBsAg positive individuals,not in HBsAg negative individuals.
