Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of peroral direct cholangioscopy (PDCS) by freehand intubation using routine straight-view endoscope for diagnosis and therapy of biliary diseases.Methods Patients with bile duct dilation underwent standard ERCP and native papilla was dilated using EST and/or endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation,according to the size of the papilla.Then peroral direct cholangioscopy was performed by freehand intubation using routine straight-view endoscope.General data of patients,procedure of ERCP,diagnosis of PDCS and complications were recorded.Results A total of 5 patients underwent PDCS.Indications included common bile duct stones (n =2),intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile buct (n =2) and benign biliary stricture after removable metal stent placement (n =1).The diameter of common bile duct ranges from 1.2 cm to 2.4 cm.EST or/and EPLBD was required in 3/5 patients to facilitate PDCS.Freehand PDCS intubation of the bile duct was successful in all procedures (1 case into distal common bile duct,4 cases into proximal common bile duct).Complications were cholangitis managed with intavenous antibiotics (n =1).No procedure related death occurred.Conclusion Freehand PDCS is technically feasible and safe,and may be clinically useful for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in managing select biliary tract diseases.

Objective:To search for carrier of short active peptide with binding to human CD59 of the surface of HeLa cell.Methods:Ph. D. 12 display peptide library was biopanning with HeLa cell high-expressing CD59. After competitive test, positive phage clones were identified by sandwich ELISA and sequenced.Results:10 phage clones were identified to have higher combination with CD59.Conclusion:The sequence of peptide with binding to CD59 has been obtained.That might lay a basis for design of short peptide of CD59 on tumor sneaking through.

Objective:To establish a human monocyte cell line U937 stably expressing CD200.Methods:The eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3-CD200 containing human CD200 cDNA and vector pcDNA3 were transferred into human monocyte U937 cell line by electrotransfer.These two cell lines were selected by G418, and the selected cell lines were subcultured. U937 cell line was enclosed as control group.The expression of CD200 mRNA and protein was detected by RT-PCR and flow cytometry.Results:After G418 selection,U937 cell line in control group was died, and the cell lines transferring pcDNA3 and recombined pcDNA3-CD200 were subcultured over 30 generations.The CD200 mRNA expression in pcDNA3-CD200 group was confirmed with RT-PCR.The CD200 expression in U937-pcDNA3-CD200,U937-pcDNA3 and U937 were 77.20%,3.20% and 2.10%,compared with other two groups (F=133 996.40,P0.05).Conclusion:Our study provides foundation for mechanism of action for CD200 in future.The human monocyte series U937 cell line that expresses CD200 protein stably is established successfully by gene transfection method.

Calcification is a major cause of clinical failure of bioprosthetic and other tissue cardiac valve substitutes.The mechanism of calcification of cardiac valve substitutes is quite complex and has a variety of determinants,involving reaction of calcium-containing extracellular fluid with membrane-associated phosphorus to yield calcium phosphate mineral deposits.The most promising anticalcification strategies have included binding of calcification inhibitors to glutaraldehyde fixed tissue,removal or modification of calcifiable components,modification of glutaraldehyde fixation and use of tissue cross linking agents other than glutaraldehyde.This article reviews current progress toward the research of calcification and anticalcification strategies that are under investigation either in advanced animal models or in clinical trials.

Objective To study the tactics, methods and relevant factors of transcatheter embolization for acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Methods Fifteen patients with acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage were embolized by one of the methods of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), gelfoam or metal coils. Four of the fifteen patients were upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, the other cases were lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage which were embolized using coaxial microcatheter. Results Fourteen of the fifteen patients were treated successfully by these methods. There were total 17 times of embolization for 16 parts, the success rate reached 94.1%. The other one reveaded an infarction of intestine after the embolization and was cured by resection. One of the fifteen patients appeared a recurrent hemorrhage 3 months later, and confirmed to be a hemangiolymphangioma. Two patients with malignant tumor were operated upon selectively. The other patient of intestinal hemorrhage was embolized successfully by using a metal coil after shock. Leiomyoma complicated with large area of bleeding was finally proven by operation.Conclusions Transcatheter embolization for acute massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage is safe and efficient under different choice of methods. The key of success is the right selection of embolized target artery and dosage of emboli.

Objective To explore the inductive effect of striatal tissue on mouse embryonic stem cells and further analyse the cell source and inductive pattern of this inductive effect. Methods We employed striatal extracts、conditioned medium of striatal astrocytes and conditioned medium of striatal neurons to induce embryonic stem cell to differentiate directly. The differentiated cells were evaluated by morphological observation and TH immunocytochemical staining method. We also performed a quantitative analysis of the results. Results Striatal extracts and conditioned medium of striatal astrocytes had obvious inductive effect on embryonic stem cell.Percentages of three groups were 15%,15.2% and 3% respectively. Conclusions The astrocytes in striatum might have an inductive effect on dopaminergic neuronal differentiation of embryonic stem cells.The determination of inductive factor will be our next research aim.;
