In the past,it is always believed that routine drainage after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is one of the most crucial methods to prevent and detect postoperative complications and to reduce mortality.However,in more recent years,with the development of fast track surgery,scholars in pancreatic surgery have investigated the necessity of drainage after PD together with its merits and faults.Therefore,this paper gives a brief review on this topic.

Objective Using M2-Gi1α fusion protein expressed by baculovirus-Sf9 cell system to find the specific ligand for M2 receptor and detect the interaction of the two parts of the fusion protein.Methods The fused M2-Gi1α cDNAs were generated in a two-step PCR and then expressed in Sf9 cells.[3H]QNB and[35S]GTPγS binding experiments were employed to study the function of M2-Gi1α fusion protein.Results The expression level of M2-Gi1α fusion protein was 8.44±0.39 nmol·g-1 protein.The affinity of GDP to the Gi1α part changed under the affection of different ligands.The IC50 value in the appearance of acetylcholine,oxotremorine,arecoline,atropine,fangchinoline,levitimide were 21.35 μmol·L-1,23.86 μmol·L-1,11.91 μmol·L-1,0.13 μmol·L-1,1.05 μmol·L-1,1.75 μmol·L-1,and 2.5 μmol·L-1 when there was no ligand.Conclusion The M2-Gi1α fusion protein expressed in baculovirus-Sf9 cell system has pharmacological specificity for M2 receptor and the efficient coupling function between the two parts.The M2-Gi1αfusion protein is a helpful tool for detecting the new specific ligands of the M2 receptor.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of SleX and CD24 in nasal inverted papilloma and its pathologic features.METHODS HE staining were conducted to study the pathologic features in specimens of 11 cases with nasal inverted papilloma. Further,immunohistochemistry stain for SleX and CD24 were performed in total specimens.RESULTS One case(9.1%) was diagnosed as severe atypical hyperplasia but tumor cells did not invaded basal membranes.SleX staining located at cell membranes. Positive SleX staining was found in 9 specimens (81.8%) and 1 normal nasal epithelium (16.7%).CD24 staining located in cytoplasm.Positive CD24 staining was found in 8 specimens of nasal inverted papilloma (72.7%). CD24 was negative in nasal epithelial cells and only a few lymphocytes were positive.CONCLUSION Some cases of nasal inverted papilloma are diagnosed with severe atypical hyperplasia.Most of cases express CD24,so nasal inverted papilloma may be a borderline tumor.Expression of SleX and infiltration of inflammatory cells suggest that nasal inverted papilloma may be related to inflammatory reactions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of timing of definitive operation on prognosis of patients with iatrogenic bile duct injury (IBDI). MethodsThe clinical data of 38 patients with IBDI were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 38 patients, the injury happened in 7 patients in our hospital while 31 patients were transferred in from other hospitals. We analyzed the previous operative records, the clinical manifestations of the patients, the radiological images and our operative findings in the definitive operations. According to the timing of the definitive operation, the patients were divided into the intraoperative repair group (n=26), the early repair group (n=15) and the delayed repair group (n=17). ResultsPatients in the intraoperative repair group had the best short-and long-term results, the shortest length of hospital stay and the lowest total cost. The early repair group, though having worse Results than the intraoperative repair group was still better than the delayed repair group. However, early detection of injuries and the ability to carry out timely corrective procedures depended on the availability of surgical expertise in the hospital. ConclusionsThe timing of definitive operation to provide corrective surgery to IBDI was a vitally important factor which affected prognosis.It is best to repair the injury within the same operation. The repair should be carried out by a doctor with ample experience in bile duct surgery.

The mode of using standardized patients has been applied in cardiothoracic surgery teaching to assess students efficiency.It alleviates the conflict of the shortage of resource for clinical teaching and improves the quality of teaching and achieves good results.

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis which is closely related with abnormal autoimmune.To some extent,it is too difficult to identify the diagnosis between AIP and pancreatic cancer.The treatment includes hormone therapy and surgery.In this article,based on accumulating the experience in the diagnosis and treatment of AIP cases for many years and reviewing the related literatures,we evaluate its type,the etiology and the clinical presentations,as well as summarize the typical characteristics of pathology,radiology and serology.

Aim To generate m3AChR-G11 fusion protein in baculovirus-Sf9 cells and test the couping function,the interation and the influence factors be-tween m3AChR and G11 protein,as well as screen the specific ligands for m3AChR. Methods m3AChR-G11 fused DNA was generated through a two-step PCR and then expressed in Sf9 cells to produce fusion protein. The total concentration for membrane protein was de-tected by BCA method,[3H]QNB and [35 S]GTP?S binding experiment as perfomed to study the function of m3AChR-G11 fusion protein. Results The expression level of m3AChR-G11 was 7. 76 ? 10 -9 mol?g -1. The affinity of GDP to G11 partner changed in the presence of different muscarinic ligands. IC50 values of GDP in the presence of ACh,Pilo,CCh,MCN-A-343,Atro,4-Damp and Dafi were 82. 2,93. 70,12. 10,14. 30, 1. 93,1. 37,0. 72 ? 10 -6 mol ? L -1 respectively,and that in the absence of muscarinic was 1. 99 ? 10 -6 mol ?L-1.Concluslons The m3AChR-G11 fusion protein has the pharmacological specificity of m3 receptor and the efficient coupling interaction of the two partners. Affinity of GDP to ligand-bound fusion protein represents the species of muscarinic ligands. This is helpful in screening and detecting the new specific ligands to muscarinic receptors.

Objective To explore the FOXP3-related mechanism underlying head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.Methods We used cbioportal to identify the co-expressed genes of FOXP3 in 279 samples from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in TCGA database.We used String database to establish the co-expression network of FOXP3.The function of co-expression network was identified through DAVID database.We used miRTarBase and StarBase database to screen the microRNA,lncRNA and circRNA that regulate FOXP3.Finally,Cytoscape software was used to establish FOXP3-related ceRNA network.Results We found 950 FOXP3 related co-expressed gene.(Spearman score over 0.5) These genes were enriched in immune response including T cell,leukocyte and lymphocyte activation.CeRNA network revealed that 2 microRNAs (i.e.,miR-31-5p and miR-210-3p),42 lncRNAs (e.g.,XIST,TUG1,JRK and LINC00473) and 31 circRNAs (e.g.,ZNF223 _hsa_ circ_ 000898 and ISY1 _hsa _circ _001090) could regulate FOXP3.Conclusion We established FOXP3-related ceRNA network and identified 42 lncRNAs and 31 circRNAs that regulate FOXP3.The data generated from this study could provide a new cut point in research and treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
