Results The tumor resection rate was 37%(32/86) in this series. The postoperative morbidity and mortality rate were 47% and 7% respectively. The median survival time in palliative resection group was 16 months and the 1-year, 3- year, 5-year survival rate was 63%,21%,15% respectively. For curative resection,the median survival time was 19 months and the 1-year, 3- year, 5-year survival rate was 80%,35%,25% respectively( P =0 038). For drainage group, the median survival time was 5 months and the 1-year, 3- year, 5-year survival rate was 28%,8 4%,5% respectively.Conclusion Early diagnosis, improvement of patients′ general preoperative condition and the surgical expertise may help in increasing the curative resection rate and reducing postoperative morbidity and mortality rate, which are keys to prolong patients′ survival.

AIM: To elucidate the effects of platelet-activating factor (PAF) on eosinophil activation and the action of dexamethasone or theophylline during this process. METHODS: Eosinophils (EOS) from the peripheral blood of normal subjects were isolated. The hypodense eosinopil (HE) and normodense eosinophil (NE) were studied with electron microscopy. The effects of PAF on eosinophil activation and the action of dexamethasone or theophylline during the above process were measured. RESULTS: Hypodense eosinophil had significantly smaller individual granules than normodense eosinophil had. PAF induced eosinophil peroxidase release, and generated. Eosinophils incubated with 10~(-8) mmol/L PAF and 10~(-5) mmol/L dexamethasone released (101.17?10.32) mg/L eosinophil peroxidase (P

Objective To detect the expression pattern of microRNA in A549 cells treated by lipopolysaccharide, study the expression of miRNA-1247-3P in A549 cells under LPS treatment and explore the possible mechanism of miRNA-1247-3P in A549 cells under LPS treatment. Methods A549 cells were divided into experimental and control groups. Immunocytochemical method and RT-PCR were used to detect the changes of SP-A and SP-C. The expression of miRNAs were detected using miRNAs array in different groups. The key miR-1247-3P was collected to detect the changes of miR-1247-3P in all groups using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results Compared with control group, the expressions of SP-A and SP-C were significantly decreased in the experimental groups (P < 0.05). MiRNA array showed that 31 miRNAs were up-regulated and 3 miRNAs were down-regulated. Compared with control group, the expression of miR-1247-3P was significantly increased in the experimental groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion The increased expression of miR-1247-3P may play an important role in the pathogenesis of ARDS.

Objective To evaluate the application of 64-slice computed tomography (CT) and software-assisted image analysis in preoperative evaluation and surgical planning of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods The clinical data of six patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from June to December, 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. All six patients underwent 64-slice CT scanning before the operation, and then three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the liver, tumor, blood vessels and bile ducts was achieved with the assistance of Myrian (R) XP-Hepatic software. The relationships of the tumor, blood vessels and bile ducts were illustrated in the 3D model. Virtual liver resection was carried out for surgical planning. Results The 3D models of the liver, tumor, blood vessels and bile ducts were successfully constructed . The 3D models were able to be rotated and magnified as necessary. Preoperative evaluation and surgical planning were in accordance with actual surgery. The relative accuracy of the software-assisted image analysis system for calculating the hepatic volume to be resected was 5%. Patients recovered well without occurrence of hepatic failure. Conclusion Sixty-four-slice CT scanning and software-assisted image analysis are important for preoperative evaluation and surgical planning of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for better improving the risk perception of Omeprazole sodium for injection in nurses in a third-grade class-A hospital,strengthening risk management of ward drugs and ensuring safety of patients. METHODS:Nurses in the clinical departments in a third-grade class-A hospital where usage frequency of Omeprazole sodium for injection was relatively more were adopted as study subjects and a self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate on related knowledge on medication risk in nurses in emergency department,gastroenterology department,ICU and CCU in 2012 and 2014. RESULTS:51 and 81 questionnaires were distributed in 2012 and 2014,and 51 and 81 were effectively received with effective recovery of 100%and 100%,respectively. In both surveys,100% surveyed nurses could correctly choose one solvent at least,1.96% and 3.70%nurses could correctly choose 2 solvents;correct answering rates of intravenous administration time were 94.12% and 96.30%,re-spectively;correct answering rates of stable duration after preparation were both lower than 9%;correct answering rates of adverse reaction of this drug were 3.92% and 1.23%,respectively;correct answering rates of interaction of this drug were 1.96% and 6.17%,respectively;correct answering rates of stable formulation of this drug were 17.65%and 22.22%,respectively;the propor-tion of nurses observing ADRs were 25.49% and 13.58%,respectively;the proportion of nurses finding inappropriate compatibility were 15.69% and 22.22%,respectively,Ornidazole and sodium chloride injection was the most used incompatible drug;45% or more nurses hoping to strengthen the continuing education of nursing personnel. CONCLUSIONS:Nurses in this third-grade class-A hospital lack certain knowledge on the medication risk of Omeprazole sodium for injection,the drug risk management is not sufficient,and awareness prevention of drug risk is relative weak. It is suggested that the hospital should strengthen drug risk management system,nurses should strengthen the learning about drug risk and play the role of clinical pharmacists in the drug risk management to reduce the related drug risk and incidence of adverse reactions.

BACKGROUND:Until now, musculoskeletal bioengineering used in the orthopedic surgery and regenerative medicine are developing. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the construction strategies for tissue-engineered knee ligaments. METHODS:A computer-based online search was conducted in PubMed to screen the relevant literatures using the terms“knee ligament”AND“tissue engineering”OR“regenerative medicine”. The literature retrieval, data assessment and extraction were performed by both authors independently. The relevant literatures were included through reviewing preclinical and clinical studies to display the preclinical and clinical medicine progresses in the construction strategies for tissue-engineered ligaments. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Included 224 literatures focus on the construction strategies for tissue-engineered ligaments, including stem cel therapy, growth factors, biomaterials and scaffolds, and mechanical stimulation pattern. Construction techniques for tissue-engineered ligaments have some potential advantages, such as rapid function recovery, good tenacity, and reduced relapse. However, rigorous and high-level randomized control ed clinical trials are needed for the translation of preclinical results into successful clinical trials.
