AIM To study the relationship between the response of hypertension patients to Adalat and the C825T polymorphism of the GNB3 gene. METHODS 554 hypertension subjects were treated with Adalat. Epidemiological and clinical data were collected. Genotypes of the GNB3 gene were measured by the PCR RFLP method. Linear and logistic regression were used to analyze the association between GNB3 genotypes and the response to Adalat. RESULTS The frequency of the 825T allele in our hypertensive group (48 4%) was slightly higher than that of the normal Chinese reported previously by Siffert W et al. (42%). The average SBP decrease after 15 days of Adalat treatment of subjects with the T allele was significantly less than that of the subjects with the CC genotype (?=-3 3, P= 0 03). Using logistic regression, the subjects with the T allele were less likely to reach good treatment result compared to those with the CC genotype (OR=0 33, P =0 02). CONCLUSION The GNB3 gene C825T polymorphism is related to the response to Adalat.

Objective To establish a reproducible and controllable experimental swine model of abdominal multiple organ trauma.Method Fifteen pigs were included in the present study,and the method adopted conformed to the animal ethics.With the self-made explosive device,the electric firecrackers consisting of 0.3g,0.2g and 0.2g black powder were put respectively onto the surface of left lateral lobe of liver,lower pole of spleen and tail of pancreas to produce injuries by explosion.The operation time of exploratory laparotomy and isolation of the organs,blood loss,the maximum diameter and area of injury to the liver and spleen due to explosion,the length and extent of the pancreas that was injured in explosion,as well as the changes in mean arterial pressure(MAP) during the operation were detected and recorded.Finally,the injury severity score(ISS) was calculated.Results The damaged liver area was 9.2?0.3cm2,the maximum diameter of damaged liver was 5.4?0.2cm,the damaged spleen area was 5.2?0.1cm2,the maximum diameter of damaged spleen was 5.6?0.2cm,the damaged pancreas length was 6.3?0.2cm,the time for MAP's to lower by half was 8.8?0.5min,the blood loss for depression of MAP by half was 704.7?14.6ml,the time from injury to death in the first 5 pigs was 25.4?1.8min,ISS was 28.0?0.8.The experimental swine model of abdominal multiple organ trauma was reproduced successfully.Conclusions By using the self-made explosion device and electric firecrackers,the abdominal multiple organ trauma model is reproducible,controllable and stable.It can be generally used in the research of war trauma and traffic accident trauma.

Objective To summarize the experience in surgical treatment of hepatic cavernous hemangioma (HCH). Methods The clinical data of 345 patients who received HCH resection in General Hospital of PLA from 1986 to 2005 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The ratio between male and female patients was 1/1.8. Eighteen patients (5.2%) were incidentally found with HCH during or after operation. Most of the HCH were located in the right lobe, with the proportion of 16.2% (56/345). Ninety-one patients (26.5%) had small HCH (diameter<5.0 cm), 173 (50.3%) had large HCH (diameter ranging from 5.0-10.0 cm), and 80 (23.2%) had giant HCH (diameter>10.0 cm). The mean diameter of the HCH was (8.0±5.0) cm. Three hundred and twenty-three (99.7%) patients were with Child pugh A. Right subcostal incision and enucleation were performed on all patients. The incidence of postoperative complications and mortality were 11.3% (39/345) and 0.3% (1/345), respectively. Caudate lobe resection was performed on 9 of 11 patients with the tumor located in caudate lobe. Conclusions Some HCHs may be easy to be misdiagnosed as hepatic solid tumor. HCH resection (inclu-ding hepatic caudate lobectomy) is safe for patients with HCH, and the most severe operative complication is massive bleeding during hepatectomy.

Objective To summarize experiences associated with hepatectomy of huge liver neoplasm.Methods Two hundred and sixty six consecutive cases of huge liver neoplasm undergoing hepatectomy from January 1987 to December 2005 at Chinese PLA General Hospital were analized retrospectively based on the clinical data.Results There were 174 males and 92 females with the average age of(44.8 ± 12.2)years(range 7-76 yrs).Among them,93 cases were with benign neoplasms.The maximum diameter of tumors was 30 cm and hemangioma accounted for 86.0%(80 cases).The other 173 cases were huge liver malignant neoplasms with the maximum diameter of 33 cm,hepatocellular carcinoma accounted for 73.4%(127 cases).The average diameter of all tumors was(14.7 ±4.0)cm(range 10.2-33.0 cm).HBsAg(+)was found in 40.49% of cases.Numbers of resected segments averaged(3.3 ±1.2)in benign cases and(3.1 ±1.2)in malignant ones without significant difference between the two groups(t=1.710,P=0.310).Postoperative complications occurred in 17.29% of cases and the hospital mortality was 0.75%.The postoperative 1-,3-and 5-year survival rates in patients with malignant liver tumors were 58.3%,39.7% and 27.5%,respectively.Conclusions Hepatectomy of huge liver benign and malignant neoplasms can be performed safely with low morbidity and mortality,provided that it is carried out with skillful surgical expertise and optimized perioperative management.

Objective To investigate the association between chromosome variations,abnormalities and male reproductive hor-mones level with spermatogenesis.Methods The chromosome karyotype,serum reproductive hormone including FSH,LH,T,PRL and E2,and semen were detected in 147 patients with male infertility or recurrent sponotaneous abortion.The results were per-formed the comparative analysis.Results Serum FSH,LH level and the incidence rate of azoospermia in the chromosome abnormal-ity group were significantly higher than those in the chromosome variation group and the normal group(P <0.05,P <0.01),serum T level was significantly lower than that in the chromosome variation group and the normal group(P <0.05).Serum FSH and the incidence rate of oligospermia in the Y chromosome variation group were significantly higher than those in the autosomal variation group(P <0.05).The incidence rate of azoospermia had no statistically significant difference between the Y chromosome variation and the autosomal variation group(P >0.05).Serum FSH,LH level and the incidence rate of azoospermia in the sex chromosome abnormality group were obviously higher than those in the autosomal abnormality group(P <0.05),the serum T level was signifi-cantly lower than that in the autosomal abnormality group(P <0.05).Conclusion The chromosome variation and abnormality are closely related with the reproductive hormones disorder and spermatogenetic function disorder.The obvious increase of serum FSH, LH level and obvious decrease of T level caused by sex chromosome variation and abnormality is one of the pathogenesis of oligo-spermia and azoospermia.
