Objective To investigate glucose metabolism , insulin secretion and serum lipid in patients of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with hypertension. Methods A total of 100 subjects including NAFLD with hypertension (n = 50) and NAFLD without hypertension (n = 50), in our hospital during Jul. 2010 to Jul. 2012, were enrolled in this study. Records the following information of the two groups: The clinical data , oral glucose tolerance and insulin releasing test , serum lipid , serum uric acid and ALT were recorded. Results Compared with the NAFLD without hypertension group, impaired glucose regulation was significantly increased in patients in the NAFLD with hypertension group(P < 0.05).The insulin releasing was significantly increased at 30 min and was increased at 180 min in patients in the NAFLD with hypertension group (P < 0.05).The insulin releasing during 30 min to 120 min was descend gradually in patients in the NAFLD with hypertension group,with no significant difference between these two groups. TG was markedly elevated in patients in the NAFLD with hypertension group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Prevalence of impaired glucose regulation was elevated obviously in NAFLD with hypertension group,and early-phase insulin secretion were reduced and delayed.

Objective To explore therapeutic efficacy of endoscopic biliary stent placement in the management of bile leakage following hepatobiliary surgery.Methods 11 cases of bile leakage following hepatobiliary surgery were reviewed retrospectively from January 2001 to December 2005.New clinical classifications of bile leakage were proposed: type I,leakage from cystic duct;type II,leakage from extrahepatic bile duct(diameter of leakage less than 1/3 diameter of biliary duct was type IIA;more than 1/3 was type IIB);type III,leakage from intrahepatic bile duct(leakage from intrahepatic bile duct cecum was type IIIA;leakage from intrahepatic bile duct under draining hepatic segments was type IIIB;above draining hepatic segments was type IIIC);type IV,leakage from Luschka duct.Results In 11 cases,there were 6 cases of type I,2 cases of type IIA,1 case of type IIIA,and 2 cases of type IIIB.4 cases were placed only stents,and Oddi sphincterotomy combined with stent placement were performed in 7 cases.Stents were taken out at 3 weeks(6 cases),1 month(2 cases),2 weeks(1 case),6 months(1 case) and 9 months(1 case) postoperatively.Abdominal pain was relieved in 11 cases after endoscopic treatment,with disappearance of biliary drainage from abdominal cavity and subsidence of jaundice.1 case was followed up for 6 months,and other 10 cases were followed up for 1-3 years,with no recurrence of abdominal pain,fever,jaundice and seroperitoneum,and hemobilirubin became normal.Conclusions Endoscopic biliary stent placement is one of effective therapeutic procedures in the management of most bile leakage following hepatobiliary surgery.New classification of bile leakage may be taken as a guide to select therapeutic procedures.

Objective To establish a successful model for pancreaticoduodenal allotransplantation with enteric drainage in piglet and surveillance acute rejection by biopsy.Methods We implemented the model same as protocol of clinical pancrease transplantation.40 piglets were divided into donors and recipients randomly.20 times experimental operation were finished. The total pancreas with a short segment of duodenum was transplanted to a recipient by anastomoses of vessels to the recipient iliac vessels and small bowel segment to the jejunum with enteric drainage. During operation, mean arterial pressure(MAP), central venous pressure(CVP)were monitored. The levels of amylase activity in blood were investigated.Doppler color blood flow ultrasonography was used to evaluate blood flow of pancreatic allografts,and ultrasound-guided percutaneous pancreas allograft biopsy and histopathologic examination were performed.Results The successful rate of operation was 90%. Recipient's MAP was decreased after the reopening of inosculated blood vessels.(P

Objective To evaluate the operation of laparoscopic splenectomy(LS),its safety and clinical effects.Methods Literature of the advances of LS were reviewed and analyzed.Results With the development of technology and surgical technique,the indications for LS were widened,the size of spleen plays an important role in the clinical outcome of LS.Conclusion LS has all the advantages of minimally invasive surgery.The application of hand-assisted technique is safe and feasible for giant spleen.With the accumulation of surgical experiences and technique development,LS will be extensively used in clinic.

Objective To investigate the relationships between the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule 1(ICAM-1),heat shock protein 70(HSP70) and acute rejection after pancreas allotransplantation in miniature swine.Methods Ultrasound guided biopsies of the pancreas and histopathologic examination were performed after the miniature swine models of pancreas allotransplantation were established.According to the histological change,the samples were divided into group Ⅰ(no rejection),group Ⅱ(mild acute rejection),group Ⅲ(moderate acute rejection)and group Ⅳ(serious acute rejection).The expressions of ICAM-1 and HSP70 were analyzed with immunohistochemistry and imaging.Results The expressions of ICAM-1 and HSP70 were increased when acute rejection occurred after pancreas allotransplantation in miniature swine.The levels of ICAM-1 and HSP70 were sequentially high when acute rejection was serious.Conclusion ICAM-1 and HSP70 were involved in pancreas allograft rejection and useful for early diagnosis of acute rejection after pancreas transplantation.

To study the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of SCN8 A-related infantile spasm, one 21-month-boy identified a de novo mutation of SCN8 A-related infantile spasm was admitted to West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University in September 2019 and was enrolled as a research subject.The clinical manifestation and diagnosis process were analyzed by carrying out the retrospective analysis method.This case is the first report on SCN8 A-related infantile spasm in China.This child had hiatal hernia, which has never been reported in SCN8 A gene mutation people.The boy shows marked developmental regression after the onset of seizures at 8-month-old, and a variety of antiepileptic drugs are ineffective.Recently, seizure types have changed into infantile spasm.Levetiracetam was stopped, and provided adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). After treatment, the spasm was relieved.Hiatal hernia may be a phenotype of SCN8 A gene mutation.Sodium channel blockers display high efficacy in SCN8 A-related epilepsy.ACTH therapy for SCN8 A-related infantile spasm is effective.

Compounds were isolated through various chromatographic techniques and their structures were identified by spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with those reported in the literatures. Thirteen compounds were obtained from the petroleum ether and ethyl acetate extracts. Their structures were identified as 4,4'-dimethoxy-9,9', 10,10'-tetrahydro-(1, 1'-biphenanthrene) -2, 2', 7, 7'-tetrol (1), 4, 4', 7, 7'-tetrahydroxy -2,2'-dimethoxy-1, 1'-biphenanthrene (2), 3, 5-dihydroxy-2, 4-dimethoxyphenanthrene (3), physcion (4), chrysophanol (5), emodin (6), genkwanin (7), quercetin (8), quercetin 3'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (9), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy phenylethanol (10), syringic acid (11), vanillin (12), and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (13), respectively. Compounds 1-3 and 5-12 are reported from this genus for the first time.
