Objective To explore the feasibility and efficiency of laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) at early stage. Methods From January 2003 to June 2006, 18 patients with ABP received laparoscopic surgeries, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in 3, LC combined with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in 9, LC combined with opening of the pancreatic capsule for drainage in 5, and LC combined with LCBDE and opening of the pancreatic capsule for drainage in 1. Results In all the patients, the laparoscopic operations were completed successfully without conversion to open surgery. The operation time was 100-150 min with a mean of (115.3?15.2) min. The stones in the bile duct were removed completely by LCBDE in 10 patients. No subcutaneous emphysema, hemorrhage, abdominal abscess or stenosis of the bile duct occurred in this series. The 18 patients were followed up for 4-40 months (mean, 28.5 months), during which 2 patients developed pancreatic pseudocyst. One of the patients was cured by internal drainage. In the other patient, the pseudocyst was absorbed spontaneously. No recurrence of pancreatitis or common bile duct stones was found. Conclusions Laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive and effective for the treatment of ABP at early stage.

AIM: To investigate the effect of 17?-estradiol(E2) on myocardial hypertrophy induced by endothelin-1(ET-1) and the related mechanism.METHODS: Myocardial cells from neonate rats were cultured in vitro and myocardial hypertrophy model was established with ET-1.The effects of 17?-estradiol on myocardial hypertrophy were observed.The role of ERK1/2 in the effects of 17?-estradiol was also detected.RESULTS: Compared with control group,ET-1 increased cell protein content,cell surface area and -Leucine(-Leu) incorporation.Pretreatment with E2 for 24 h could inhibit the increase in cell protein content,cell surface area and -Leu incorporation induced by ET-1.ET-1 significantly stimulated ERK1/2 activity,which was prevented by pretreatment with E2.Tamoxifen,estradiol receptor antagonist,partially inhibited the effect of E2.The ability of ET-1 to stimulate -Leu incorporation was significantly blocked by PD98059,which could enhance the inhibitory effect of E2 on the increase of -Leu incorporation in cardiomyocytes induced by ET-1.CONCLUSION: E2 can inhibit cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by ET-1.This effect is mediated by estrogen receptor.ERK1/2 signal pathway is closely correlated with the inhibitory effect of E2 on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by ET-1.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the therapeutic results of patients with initially di-agnosed metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods From January 1995 to December 1998, 46 NPC patients with distant metastases were treated in Fujian provincial cancer hospital. Among these pa-tients, 43 were single site metastasis and 3 were multiple sites metastases;The site of metastasis were 19 pa-tients in the liver, 11 in the bone, 7 in the lung, 1 in the brain, 6 in mediastinal nodes and 6 in axillary lymph nodes. All patients received standard radiotherapy to the primary site and cervical node region with a median dose of 72 Gy. Forty-one patients (89%) received 1-5 cycles chemotherapy (cisplatin and 5-flu-orouracil), and 23 (50%) received palliative irradiation to the metastatic site. Results The median surviv-al time was 20 months. The 1-, 2-, 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 66%, 47%, 30% and 19%, respectively. Irradiation to the metastatic sites and KPS were the significant prognostic factors. Pa-tients with palliative irradiation to the metastatic site had longer survival than those without (39 months vs. 13 months, X2=8.63, P=0.012). Patients with good performance status (KPS≥80) had better outcomes thanthose with poor performance status (26 months vs. 12 months, X2= 3.95, P=0.035) . Conclusions Active therapy may prolong the survival of patients with initially diagnosed metastatic NPC, especially for those who have good performance status. Under systematic chemotherapy, radiotherapy to the primary site and supportive care, the palliative irradiation to the metastatic site may also yield a good result.

Objective To describe a technique of closed reduction and percutaneous internal fixation for the treatment of displaced patellar fractures and evaluate the clinical results. Methods Fifteen cases (nine males and six females with mean age of 35.5 years, ranging from 24 to 65 years) with displaced patellar fractures were treated with closed reduction (or an arthroscopic-assisted reduction) and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation (or Kirschner wire tension band wiring technique) under guidance of fluoroscopy or C-arm X-ray tomography. Controlled passive range of motion exercises started on the first postoperative day. The mean follow-up was 28 months (24-35 months). Results All cases healed successfully with healing time of (1.2?2.2) months and mean Lysholm II score of 86.8 (79-96), except for one patient regained full knee range of motion. Compared with the contralateral side, a mean quadriceps atrophy of 0.8 cm was seen in unilateral cases based on Tandogan measurement. There was no implant failure or postoperative infection. Conclusions The technique of closed reduction and percutaneous internal fixation is appropriate for displaced, transverse, longitudinal or oblique patellar fractures and can facilitate early postoperative range of motion exercises and accelerate rehabilitation of the affected knee with few complications and minor incision without disturbing blood supply of the patella. But, this method is not suitable for severely comminuted fractures.

Objective To investigate the relationship between ultrasonographic appearance of the endometrium and steroid. Methods A total of 30 women with normal cycle were used for this study. On the day of positive urinary LH, the subjects were classified into group A, group B and group C according to Gonen's criterions of endometrial echogenic patterns. Blood samples were taken for measurement of FSH, LH, PRL, E_2, P, T levels on the third day of the cycle, the pre-ovulatory phase, and the sixth or seventh day after ovulation. Results During the early follicular phase and pre-ovulatory phase, serum E_ 2 concentration was highest in group A, then group B and lowest in group C; there was significant difference between group A and group C (P

Objective To separate NK cells of mice from NK cell separation medium and study inhibitory effect of proliferated NK cell induced by low dose radiation on the leukemia model of K562 cells.Methods Flow cytometry and 3H-TdR methods were respectively used to measure proliferation index and activity of NK cells treated with low-dose radiation( which means exposure dose in 20 cGy low LET beam or 5 cGy high LET beam).CD13 + cells were measured by flow cytometry and TNF-α content in blood-serum was detected by ELISA.In vivo,peripheral blood leucocyte count,index of liver,indexes of spleen and kidney were observed in control group and experimental group.Results The purity of NK cell separation was (82.54 ± 0.18)%.The proliferation index of NK cells at 24 hours after 80 mGy irradiated was 36.31 ± 1.32% ,(t =24.69,P ＜0.05).Killing activity of NK cell induced by low dose radiation to K562 cell was (12.59±0.63)%(t=6.63,P＜0.05)and the inhibition ratio was 29.52%.Conclusion The injection of proliferated NK cell induced by low dose radiation demonstrated significant inhibitory effect on the growth of leukemia nude mouse.
