Surgical resection remains the only curative option of treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma,but centrally located tumors remain problematic.Extended right or left hepatectomy removes 60％ to 85％ of the hepatic parenchyma and is associated with more hepatic failure.Mesohepatectomy,resection of central hepatic segments (Couinaud's segments Ⅳ,Ⅴ,Ⅷ) and leaving the right and left segments in situ,preserves more functional hepatic tissues than extended hepatectomy.Despite its technical demands,mesohepatectomy should be considered as an alternative treatment for central huge hepatic tumors.

flow cytometry.A strong linear relationship was observed in the standard curve of real-time PCR of each bacteria. Conclusion These three non-culture methods can be used in the quantitative analysis of oral microorganisms.Real-time PCR and laser scanning confocal microscopy are better than the traditional culture-based CFU count,and real-time PCR is the most sensitive method.

Objective To detect the differential gene expression between Streptococcus sobrinus(S.sobrinus) 6715 and its fluoride-resistant strains. Methods The fluoride-resistant strains of S.sobrinus 6715 was induced by increasing the concentration of fluoride step by step.Total RNA of both S.sobrinus 6715 and its fluoride-resistant strains was extracted,mRNA was separated and purificated,and then cDNA was obtained by reversed transcription.Suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH) technology was used to detect the differential gene expression between them.The differential gene expression fragments were cloned and compared with the GenBank by BLAST.Results After comparing with the GenBank by BLAST,it was identified that there were two differential gene expression fragments,fruA and SMU.438c. Conclusion The cDNA subtractive lib of differential gene expression between S.sobrinus 6715 and its fluoride-resistant strains was successfully constructed through SSH,which paves a way for the further study of fluoride-resistant mechanism.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of the completely thoracoscopic lobectomy for clinical N0 and postoperatively pathological N2 non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC).MethodsFrom Sep.2006 to Jan.2010, 216 patients with NSCLC received completely thoracoscopic lobectomy in our center.Two hundred and six patients were clinical N0 preoperatively(103 males and 103 females, median age of 62.3 years, rang 29 to 85 years).They were divided into two groups based on postoperatively pathological staging, pN0 group and pN2 group.Some perioperative factors including age, gender,tumor size,tumor location,pathological type, pathological differentiation,rate of conversion to thoractomy,operation time,blood loss,lymph node dissection, time of drainge, hospitalization and complications were studied and compared between two groups.Results There were 203 cases of lobectomy, 2 cases of composite lobectomy and 1 case of pneumonectomy.All procedures were carried out safely without serious complication except for one operative death result from respiratory failure.There were 168 cases in pN0 group and 38 cases in pN2 group.Age and gender were similar between two groups.The tumor size in pN0 group was smaller than that in pN2 group [ (2.6 ± 1.6) cm vs (3.7 ± 1.9) cm, P = 0.001 ].The tumors in pN0 group were lesser appearance in the bilateral lower lobes (31.0％ vs 50.0％, P = 0.026).There was a approximate proportion of adenocarcinoma in two groups (82.7％ vs 73.7％, P = 0.181), but the proportion of poorly differentiated carcinoma in pN0 group was significantly lower than that in pN2 group(19.0％ vs 42.1％, P = 0.002).There were no differences in the rate of conversion to thoractomy(7.1％ vs 7.9％, P = 1.000), operation time[ (196.1 ± 53.7) min vs (208.6 ± 56.8) min, P = 0.202 ], blood loss[ (253.2 ±247.9) ml vs(279.0±183.3) ml, P=0.475], time of drainage[ (7.7 ±3.2) days vs (9.7 ±6.3) days,P=0.066], hospitalization[ (10.6 ±4.6) days vs (13.0 ±7.6) days, P =0.063]and complications(12.5％ vs 21.1％,P =0.171).The stations of mediastinal lymph node dissection were equivalent in two groups(3.1 ± 1.2 vs 3.3 ± 1.1, P =0.237) , but there were fewer numbers of mediastinal lymph node dissection in pN0 group (9.9 ± 6.8 vs 12.7 ± 8.4, P =0.038).ConclusionCompletely thoracoscopic lobectomy is a feasible surgical therapy for cN0-pN2 non-small-cell lung cancer without loss of curability.

Objective To explore the changes of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in pediatric severe sepsis treated with continuous blood purification(CBP).Methods Prospective study,35 cases of critically ill children diagnosed with severe sepsis and admitted to PICU of Shanghai Children's Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University from June 2012 to May 2014 served as reseach objective.Based on the monitoring of vital signs,including central venous pressure,arterial blood pressure,mean arterial pressure,patients were treated with conventional therapy,as antibiotics,fluid therapy,and CBP by mode of continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration or high volume hemofiltration.Plasma levels of rennin activity,angiontensin Ⅱ and aldosterone were measured by radioimmunoassay before and 24 h after CBP.Twenty-five cases of blood samples taken from the children collected from health care for liver function examination were matched as control group.Results Plasmalevelsofrenninactivitywere(2.11 ±1.93) pg/(L·h),(1.27±1.56) μg/(L·h),(0.37 ± 0.22) μg/(L· h) before and 24 h after CBP and control group,respectively.The levels of angiontensin Ⅱ were (426.78 ±332.37) ng/L,(364.40 ± 325.51) ng/L,(41.70 ± 10.81) ng/L,respectively.And the levels of aldosterone were (255.12 ± 218.18) ng/L,(134.92 ± 104.13) ng/L,(106.88 ±43.18) ng/L,respectively.The plasma levels of rennin activity,angiontensin Ⅱ,and aldosterone were higher in sepsis cases than in control group,while decreased obviously after CBP treatment(P ＜0.01,P ＜0.05).Eleven cases died and mortality was 31.4％ (11/35).After 24 h of CBP,the mean arterial pressure improved in 26 cases with septic shock and dopamine dose reduced(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The reaction of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is increased significantly in pediatric severe sepsis.CBP can down-regulate the levels of rennin activity,angiotensin Ⅱand aldosterone,but not worsen the circulation function.

Objective To explore the clinical feature and gene types in patients with primary carnitine deficiency. MethodsClinical data of 6 patients with primary carnitine deficiency and 2 patients with maternal carnitine deficiency found in the screening by tandem mass spectrometry technology during December 2013 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The free carnitine levels of 8 patients in initial and recall screening were 5.85±1.65 μmol/L and 5.22±1.02 μmol/L. Two pathogenic alleles were detected in each patient with primary carnitine deficiency by genetic and metabolic disease panel based on Ion Torrent semiconductor sequencing. After treatment with oral L-carnitine, the free carnitine levels of 6 patients with primary carnitine deficiency were 20.24±3.88 μmol/L. The carnitine levels returned to normal after mixed feeding for one week in 2 patients with maternal carnitine deficiency, and no genetic diagnosis was carried out. Conclusion Primary carnitine deficiency can be effectively detected using tandem mass spectrometry technology and next generation sequencing panel and the prognosis is good with early standard treatment.
