Objective To study the therapeutic effects and mechanism of Sodium Fendate(SF) on rats with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) induced by L-arginine. Method A total of 60 adult SD rats were randomly and e-qually divided into control group, SAP group and SF group, with 20 rats in each group. The rat model of SAP wes established by injecting 2.5 g/kg L-arginine at a dose of intraperitoneally twice at an interval of 1 hour, and rats in SAP group and SF groups were administrated intraperitoneally with 20% L-arginine solution(2.5 g/kg×2) twice at an interval of 1 hour; rats in control group were injected intraperitoneally with the same volume of physiological saline twice alone.At 5 minutes after L-arginine administration,rats in SF group were injected with SF solution (100 mg/kg, qd×3 d) via the tail vein, and rats in the other two groups received a sham injection of the same volume of physiological saline alone. The characteristics of ascites, the pathological changes of pancreatic tissue and the serum levels of amylase(AMY), endothelin-l(ET-1), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6) and the contents of malonaldehyde (MDA), suede dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathioue (GSH) of pan-creatic tissue of rats and prognosis were compared at 72 hours after L-arginine administration. Measurement data were evaluated by oue-way ANOVA, and numeration data were assessed by Fisher' s exact test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Compared with control group,at 72 hours after L-arginine administra-tion,rats in SAP group presented characteristically histopathological changes of SAP with significantly higher serum levels of AMY, ET-1, TNF-α, IL-6 and MDA of pancreatic tissue[(9715.5±301.3) IU/L vs. (729.2±134.2) IU/L;(25.32±3.67) ng/L vs. (14.32±2.69) ng/L;(102.95±11.24) ng/L vs. (38.62±3.87) ng/L; (538.63±9.53) ng/L vs. (186.35±1.19) ng/L;(34.8±3.9) mol/kg vs. (8.1±2.1) mol/kg, all P< 0.01], and lower GSH and SOD in the pancreatic tissue[(7.1±0.6) mg/kg vs. (16.9±1.9) mg/kg; (6423± 1978) kU/kg vs. (29905+2945) kU/kg,both P<0.01].Compared with SAPmodel group,at 72 hours after ad-ministration of L-arginiue, the pathological lesions of SAP in rats of SF group were significantly alleviated with lower pathological scores (P<0.05), lower serum levels of AMY, ET-1 ,TNF-α,IL-6 and MDA in the pancreatic tissue [(8104.6±149.9) IU/L vs. (9715.5±301.3) IU/L; (20.26±5.86) ng/L vs. (25.32±3.67) ng/L; (84.19±15.14) ng/L vs. (102.95±11.24) ng/L;(458±5.37) mol/kg vs. (538.63±9.53) rig/L;(28.3±2.5) moL/kg vs. (34.8±3.9) mol/kg,all P<0.05], and higher SOD and GSH in the pancreatic tissue[(8.5 ±1.4) mg/kg vs. (7.1±0.6) mg/kg;(10 316±2810) kU/kg vs. (6423±1978) kU/kg, both P<0.05].At 72 hours the death rate in SF group was lower than that in SAP group,but the difference had no significance (P= 0.2.5). Conclusions SF can scavenge oxygen-derived free radicals, upgrade the contents of SOD and GSH of pancreatic tissue,decrease the levels of serum proinflammatory cytokines and ET-1, ameliorate the pathological le-sions of pancreatic tissue in rats,and has the capability of decreasing death rate, so it possesses a distinct advantage for the treatment of SAP.

Objective:To explore the role CD4+CD45RO+memory T cells in the pathogenesis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) by detecting the percentages of CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in peripheral blood of newly diagnosed HT patients. Methods:53HT patients and 43 matched healthy controls (HC) were included in this study. According to the thyroid functions,HT patients were divided into euthyroid subset(HT-A,n =15) ,subclinical hypothyroidism(HT-B,n=14) and overt hypothyroidism subset (HT-C,n=24). The percentages of CD4+CD45RO+memory T cells in PBMCs,as well as the level of serum IFN-γ and IL-17,and thyroid functions,and the titers of thyroid-specific autoantibodies (TPOAb,TgAb) were respectively detected by flow cytometry,ELISA,and ECLIA. Results:The percentages of CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells in PBMCs,as well as the level of serum IFN-γ and IL-17,the titers of TPOAb,TgAb were all significantly higher than that in HC(P<0. 01). Bivariate correlation revealed that the percentages of CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells positively correlated with the level of serum IFN-γ,TPOAb and TgAb(P<0. 01,P=0. 015,P<0. 01) in HT patients. Conclusion:The significant increase of CD4+CD45RO+memory T cells in peripheral blood of patients with HT suggested a role of CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells in the pathogenesis of this disease.

Objective To analyze the efficacy and safety of CyberKnife combined with temozolomide (TMZ) in treatment of brain metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods From March 2013 to March 2016, 62 NSCLC patients with brain metastases in department of oncology of the 187th Hospital of PLA were divided into two groups according to the random number table method, the CyberKnife combined with TMZ group (CyberKnife + TMZ group, 31 cases) and simple CyberKnife group (CyberKnife group, 31 cases). Hypofractionated radiation of CyberKnife was given 18-36 Gy in 1-5 fractions of 5-25 Gy. CyberKnife+ TMZ group was given temozolomide 150 mg·m-2·d-1 for 5 days in first cycle, then every 28 days they received temozolomide therapy from the second to the sixth cycles: 200 mg·m-2·d-1 for 5 days. The clinical symptom remission rate after the treatment of CyberKnife in one week, the effective rate after CyberKnife in 3 months, the median intracranial progression-free survival time, overall survival, and the incidences of adverse reaction were comparatively analyzed. Results The clinical symptom remission rates of CyberKnife+TMZ group and CyberKnife group after the treatment of CyberKnife in one week were 93.6 % (29/31) and 96.8 % (30/31). There was no significant difference in the clinical symptom remission rates (χ2= 1.207, P=0.547). The effective rates of the two groups after CyberKnife in 3 months were 93.6 % (29/31) and 90.3 %(28/31). There was no significant difference in the effective rates (χ2 = 0.695, P= 0.706). The median intracranial progression-free survival time in CyberKnife + TMZ group (14.0 months) was significantly higher than that in the CyberKnife group (9 months) (χ2=8.977, P=0.003), and the median overall survival time in CyberKnife + TMZ group (15.0 months) was also significantly higher than that in the CyberKnife group (12.0 months) (χ2 = 5.190, P= 0.023). There was no significant difference in the adverse reaction of the central nervous system between the two groups (χ2=0.746, P=0.689), but the adverse reactions of the digestive system (χ2 = 6.062, P= 0.014) and the hematologic system (χ2 = 6.613, P= 0.010) in CyberKnife + TMZ group were significantly higher than those in the CyberKnife group. Systemic adverse reactions of the two groups were tolerated by most patients. Conclusions CyberKnife combined with TMZ is a feasible therapeutic option for NSCLC patients with brain metastases. This therapy can improve the median survival time to cerebral progression of the disease and the median overall survival time.

Results:All of the operations were successfully completed under robot-assisted laparoscopy, and there was no conversion to open surgery. The operation time was 56.0(45.0-112.0) min in the Group A and 65.4(55.5-96.8) min in the Group B, and there was no statistically significant difference( P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss was 76.2(30.0-120.5) ml and 55.6(45.5-114.6) ml, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). The time of bladder neck urethral anastomosis was 18.9(12.6-25.6) min and 16.2(10.7-19.3) min, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). The postoperative hospital stay days were 9.3(8.0-16.0) d and 8.4(7.0-13.0) d, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). The postoperative exhaust time was 1.3(0.7-3.0) d and 3.4(2.0-7.0) d, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). There was 1 case of anastomotic fistula with ureteral injury in Group A, and no serious complication in Group B, and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). The number of positive surgical margin in the two groups was 13(15.9%)and 9(15.0%)respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). The indwelling time of urinary catheter after operation was 9(7-21) d and 6(4-8) d, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). The number of patients with satisfactory urinary continence immediately after surgery, 3 months and 6 months after surgery in the two groups were 8(9.8%), 51(62.2%), 62(75.6%) and 17(28.3%), 43(71.7%) and 54(90.0%), respectively. The differences were statistically significant( P<0.05). The total incision lengths in the two groups were 12.1(10.4-13.4) cm and 5.6(5.0-6.0) cm, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:The extraperitoneal single port RARP is safe and feasible, and the postoperative effect is similar to that of transperitoneal RARP. It has the advantages of shorter recovery time, higher urinary continence satisfaction rate, neater and more beautiful incision. The long-term therapeutic effect needs further confirming by prospective study.

Six patients with prostate cancer, treated by suprapubic extraperitoneal single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, had been studied retrospectively from December 2019 to January 2020. All 6 patients have been treated by suprapubic peritoneum single port robot assisted laparoscopic surgery without other channels. The robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy via suprapubic peritoneum is safe and feasible when based on reasonable selection criteria of patients. It has been shown that the postoperative recovery was fast and the tumor control and continence rate were good under the short-term follow-up. However, the long-term outcome should be evaluated by a long-term follow-up.
