BACKGROUND:To prepare glucose-responsive microcapsules which can control insulin release as changing the glucose concentration in the medium is of great significance to control the occurrence and development of diabetes mel itus. OBJECTIVE:To study the performance of glucose-responsive alginate/modified-chitosan/alginate microcapsules carryingβ-TC3 cells. METHODS:Glucose-responsive alginate/modified-chitosan/alginate microcapsules were prepared by layer-by-layer self-assembly method to evaluate the performance. And the glucose-responsive microcapsules carryingβ-TC3 cells were prepared to observe the cel proliferation within the microcapsules. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The integrity rate of glucose-responsive alginate/modified-chitosan/alginate microcapsules could be 95%after 48 hours oscil ation, and the hardness of microcapsules lowered, but the elasticity increased. The permeability test showed that microcapsules intercepted macromolecular substances such as bovine serum albumin and immuno-globulin G. The microcapsules could release more insulin with the increase of glucose concentration. As described above, the glucose-responsive alginate/modified-chitosan/alginate microcapsules had good mechanical strength, immunoisolation effect and glucose sensitivity. Theβ-TC3 cells entrapped in the glucose-responsive microcapsules could grow wel and the peak of cel proliferation lagged behind as compared with non-microencapsulated cells, indicating the glucose-responsive microcapsules had good biocompatibility.

This paper develops an intelligent NO delivery system cooperating with the ventilator to make NO inhaled safely, reliably, conveniently and economically, which is based on correlation between the parameter setup of the ventilator and the concentration of NO. The circuit control system consists of a mass flow controller and a CPU mainly. A mixing unit is designed to mix NO with the gas from the ventilator uniformly. Clinical experiments show that the NO from the intelligent delivery system can decrease PH and increase SaO2 with the concentration of generated NO2 less than 5ppm.

Objective To study the apoptosis-inducing effects and mechanisms of influenza virus A H_ 3 N_ 2 on a self-established endometrial adenocarcinoma cell line JEC. Methods JEC cells were infected with different concentrations of H_3N_2, the apoptosis were detected using the HE staining, DNA agarose gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry. The expressions of Fas, FasL and TGF-? were examined by immunocytochemical staining. Results After infection, the JEC cells showed the morphological apoptosis; DNA agarose electrophoresis demonstrated a ladder-like pattern of DNA fragments; FITC/PI stained FCM showed the apoptotic rate of JEC had been decreased along with the prolonging of infected time and elevated with the increase of the virus concentrations. Immunocytochemical staining showed that enhanced expression of Fas, attenuated expression of TGF-?, and no expression of FasL after H_3N_2 infection. Conclusion Influenza virus A H_3N_2 can induce JEC cells to apoptosis in time- and concentration- dependent manners, which may be related with the expressions of Fas and TGF-?.

OBJECTIVE To study incidence of metallo-beta-lactamase(MBL)-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa and their drug sensitivity.METHODS A total of 323 isolates of P.aeruginosa from Nanshan District of Shenzhen between Jun 2007 and Jun 2008 were subjected to susceptibility testing against various antibiotics and identified by ATB-Expression.Imipenem and meropenem resistant isolates were selected for the detection of MBL production by disc synergia test.Enhancement of inhibition zone around imipenem and meropenem discs impregnated with EDTA was found to confirme MBL production.RESULTS Totally 323 P.aeruginosa were isolated and MBL-producing accounted for 46(14.3%),drug resistance rate to imipenem and meropenem was respectively 45.4% and 26.3%.Colistin was the most sensitive to P.aeruginosa(96.9%).CONCLUSIONS Our findings show it needs to detect MBL producers,judiciously use carbapenems to prevent their spread.

Objective To estimate the effect of pedicle screw fixation of thoracolumbar fractures via paraspinal approach and compare it with the conventional posterior midline approach.Methods Forty-two cases of thoracolumbar monosegmental fractures subjected to single posterior pedicle screw fixation and reduction from December 2008 to May 2010 were included in the study.Among the patients,19 cases were operated through paraspinal muscular-sparing approach (paraspinal approach group) and 23 cases through posterior midline surgical approach (conventional approach group).Surgical incision length,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative drainage volume,postoperative hospital stay,pre-and post-operative VAS and other perioperative indices as well as fracture reduction outcome were compared between the two groups.Oswestry disability index (ODI) was assessed after operation.Results There were no statistical differences between the two groups in aspects of surgical incision length,operation time,postoperative hospital stay,height restoration of fractured vertebra (P ＞ 0.05),but intraoperative blood loss (148.5 ± 26.5) ml,postoperative draining loss (72.9 ± 17.3) ml,postoperative VAS (1.1 ± 0.3) points and ODI (13.4 ± 2.7) points in paraspinal approach group showed statistical differences from those in conventional approach group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Paraspinal muscle-sparing approach is characterized by minor trauma,less bleeding,slight pain and quick recovery as compared with conventional posterior midline approach and hence may be the preferred choice for the treatment of thoracolumbar fracture without spinal canal decompression.

Objective:To investigate the application value of hepatic vein outflow tract reconstruction with ringed polytetrafluoroethylene vascular in right lobe living donor liver trans-plantation.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopatho-logical data of 4 donors and 4 recipients undergoing right lobe living donor liver transplantation in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School and 17 donors and 17 recipients undergoing right lobe living donor liver transplantation in the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University from June 2015 to August 2018 were collected. Of 21 donors, there were 10 males and 11 females, aged from 35 to 57 years, with a median age of 46 years. The median body mass of 21 donors were 64 kg, with a range from 56 to 72 kg. Of 21 recipients, there were 16 males and 5 females, aged from 21 to 68 years, with a median age of 42 years. The median body mass of 21 recipients were 63 kg, with a range from 47 to 77 kg. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and postoperative situations; (2) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect graft function, tumor recurrence, vascular graft complications, patency of vascular graft and survival of recipients up to August 2020. All recipients will be followed up for all their lives. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). Count data were represented as absolute numbers or percentages. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate patency rates of hepatic vein outflow tract and survival rates to draw patency curve and survival curve. Results:(1) Surgical and postoperative situations: the operation time, the weight of donor graft, graft to recipient weight ratio and duration of hospital stay of 21 donors were (367±72)minutes, (557±68)g, 0.89%±0.16% and (10+2)days, respectively. No major complication requiring reoperation or intervention occurred in any of the 21 donors. One donor undergoing mild bile leakage preserved peritoneal drainage for one week. All 21 recipients underwent classic orthotopic liver transplantation successfully. The time of hepatic vein outflow tract reconstruction in donor graft, operation time and time of anhepatic phase of 21 recipients were (24±4)minutes, (326±66)minutes and (42±6)minutes, respectively. The number of reconstructed middle hepatic vein in hepatic segment 5 and 8 were 18 and 15, with the diameter of (6.1±1.3)mm and (7.2±1.2)mm, respectively. The number of reconstructed inferior right hepatic vein were 10, with the diameter of (6.3±1.3)mm. The postoperative treatment time at intensive care unit and duration of hospital stay of 21 recipients were (1.5±0.9)days and (22.6±6.7)days, respectively. Ten of 21 recipients underwent postoperative complications. Five recipients underwent graft dysfunction including the level of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase >1 000 IU/L and the level of bilirubin slightly increasing, combined with increased ascites. Enhanced computed tomography scan showed congestion in the right anterior of graft and thrombosis in the middle hepatic vein of hepatic segment 5 and segment 8. All 5 recipients undergoing graft dysfunction recovered with normal liver function and ascites decreasing after symptomatic treatment including liver protection therapy, anticoagulation and albumin infusion. Two recipients underwent inferior vena cava thrombosis and intractable pleural effusion one month after operation. Vena cava venography examination showed thrombosis in the graft vascular. Of the 2 recipients, one case with collateral circulation formation recovered undergoing balloon dilatation and stent placement combined with anticoagulation therapy of warfarin. The other one case recovered after anticoagulation therapy of warfarin. One recipient undergoing bile leakage and abdominal infection with klebsiella pneumoniae recovered after symptomatic treatment. Two recipients undergoing abdominal infection or pulmonary infection recovered after symptomatic treatment. There was no serious complication or death during perioperative period. (2) Follow-up: all 21 recipients were followed up for 10 to 57 months, with a median follow-up time of 38 months. During the follow-up, no recipient underwent graft dysfunction and 2 recipients had tumor recurrence at postoperative 6 months. Six of the 21 recipients died within 2 years after operation including 3 cases dying of tumor recurrence, 2 cases dying of acute hemorrhage and 1 case dying of liver failure. There was no death caused by vascular graft complica-tions. The postoperative 1, 3, 6-month, and 1-year and 2-year potency rates of hepatic vein outflow tract in 21 recipients were 88.4%, 88.4%, 82.4%, 68.0% and 42.1%, respectively. The 6-month, 1-year and 2-year overall survival rates in 21 recipients were 100%, 94.4%, 71.4%, respectively.Conclusion:Application of hepatic vein outflow tract reconstruction with ringed polytetrafluoroethylene vascular in right lobe living donor liver transplantation is safe and feasible.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of liver resection for spontaneous rupture of primary(hepatocellular) carcinoma(SRHCC).Methods The clinical data of 15 patients with ruptured SRHCC treated by liver resection were retrospectively analysed.Results In this group there were 12 males and 3 females.Eight underwent emergent hepatectomy,2 cases had second stage surgery at 40 days after initial operation to control bleeding and 5 cases had operation after 40 days of conservative treatment.Operation included partial right hepatectomy in 8 patients,median lobectomy in one patient,left lateral lobectomy in 2 patients,left(median) lobectomy in 2 patients,left hemihepatectomy in 1 patient,right tumor resection in 1,and left tumor resection in one patient.One of 5 patients with Child grade B liver function died of liver failure at 5 days(after) operation.The operative mortality was 6.7%.Twelve of the 14 patients who surrived were followed up.The median postoperative survival time was 18 months.The 1-,3-and 5-year survival rates were(58.3)%,25%,16.7%,respectively.One patient has been alive and free of tumor for 6 years and 2 months.Conclusions Liver resection is the best treatment for ruptured SRHCC and should be performed when possible.Hepatic resection for SRHCC can result in a long survival time.

Objective To investigate the mutation of type Ⅱ human hair basic keratin (hHb) gene in a family with monilethrix.Methods Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the structure of hair shafts.With informed consent,blood samples were drawn from affected and unaffected membets in this family,as well as from 50 healthy controls.Genomic DNA was isolated from these samples.The exon 1 and exon 7 of hHb1,hHb3 and hHb6 were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).All the PCR products were sequenced directly using ABI3730 automated sequencer.DNA sequence alignment was carried out with BLAST software.Results A typical beaded appearance was observed in affected hairs by using scanning electron microscopy.There were obvious longitudinal ridges and sulcuses in hair node.and hair cuticles were irregularly shaped.Most cortex and medullary substance were absent in affected hairs of a patient.After sequence alignment,a G1289A point mutation in exon 7 of hHb6 gene,which led to a substitution of arginine for glutamide at codon 430,was detected in affected members of this family,but not in unaffected family members or 50 unrelated human controls.No mutation was observed in exon 1 or exon 7 of hHb1 and hHb3 gene or exon 1 of hHb6 gene.Conclusion The missense mutation of R430Q is a novel mutation.which may be associated with the pathogenesis of monilethrix in this pedigree.
