The clinical value of applying portal vein resection and reconstruction in left trisectionectomy for treating advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma is approved, while it is still a big challenge for clinicians. One female patient suffering from abdominal pain and jaundice received treatment in the General Hospital of PLA in July, 2009. She was prelimiarily diagnosed with Bismuth type Ⅲ a hilar cholangiocarcinoma. A tube was inserted in the left lateral inferior bile duct to carry out percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). After the anatomic variation of the left bile duct was found, the diagnosis was revised as Bismuth type Ⅳ. A left trisectionectomy was proposed, and another PTBD tube was inserted in the right posterior bile duct.Combined portal vein resection and reconstruction and left trisectionectomy was successfully performed. The postoperation course was uneventful, except for the transient liver dysfunction and biliary-enteric anastomotic leakage.

Objectives To investigate the significance of electronic bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage in diagno-sis and treatment in children with pulmonary mass lesion. Methods A total of 74 hospitalized children from January 2011 to June 2012 whose imaging examinations showed massive patchy shadow were examined and treated by electronic bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results The major cause for the massive shadow was infection according to electronic bronchoscopy examination (68/74, 91.89%), 65 cases of them were lobar pneumonia, 3 cas-es were pulmonary tuberculosis followed by 5 cases of foreign body (6.76%) and one case of pneumorrhagia (1.35%).The lower left lung was the most frequently seen site of infection, followed by lower right lung. The agreement between infection sites and imaging examination was 97.30%. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid showed that the primary pathogen of lobar pneumonia infection is Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) (42/65, 64.62%). The highest detection rate of MP was found in preschool group and the detec-tion rate between different age groups indicated statistically significant difference (P<0.01). The imaging examination showed pulmonary lesions in 61.54%children with lobar pneumonia improved significantly in one week. The improvement rate of pul-monary lesions was higher in infected children with short duration (1-2 weeks, 90.91%) between disease onset and electronic bronchoscopy inspection than those with longer duration (2-3 weeks, 51.72% and >3 weeks, 35.71%) (P<0.05). Conclusions Electronic bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage play dual roles in etiological diagnosis and therapy in children with pulmo-nary mass lesion.

Aim To evaluate the mucosal-protective effects of carboxymethylpachyman( CMP) on Fluorou-racil(5-Fu)-induced mice intestinal mucositis and ex-plore its mechanisms. Methods ICR mice were as-signed randomly to four groups:normal group( n=8;re-ceiving pure water orally for 14 d) ,CMP group( n=8;200 mg·kg-1 CMP for 14 d orally),5-Fu group(n=8;25 mg·kg-1 5-Fu for 7 d,intraperitoneally( i. p. ) , and CMP+5-Fu group( n=8;200 mg·kg-1 CMP for 14 d orally and 25 mg·kg-1 5-Fu for 7 d,i. p. ). At day 14the mice were sacrificed. The intestinal propel-ling rate and the colon length were measured. ROS, GSH and IL-1βcontents,and CAT,GSH-Px activities in homogenate supernatant of PPs were measured by kits for observing the effects of CMP on mice lipid peroxida-tion and intestinal mucosal inflammatory induced by 5-Fu. Colon tissues were used for hematoxylin and eosin ( HE ) staining for the determination of the effect of CMP on mice colon histopathology, immunohistochem-istry for the protein levels of NF-κB and p-p38 . Results CMP significantly extended colon lengths,accelerate the intestinal propelling rates, reduced colonic mucosa epithelium goblet cell loss, inflammatory cells infiltra-tion,and crypt depth shallow induced by 5-Fu. CMP obviously reduced ROS and IL-1β contents, and pre-vented reductions in homogenate supernatant of PPs GSH content, CATand GSH-Px activities by 5-Fu ad-ministration,and also reduced the expression of NF-κB and p-p38 in colon tissues. However, CMP alone had no effect on the colon of normal mice. Conclusion The current study demonstrates that CMP may have sig-nificant protective effects against 5-Fu-induced intesti-nal mucositis. Its mechanism may be related to enhan-cing the antioxidant activity,anti-inflammatory and an-ti-apoptotic effects.

Objective To explore the level of expression, clinical signiifcance of sB 7-H 3 in the bronchoalveolar lavage lfuid (BALF) of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) pneumonia (RMPP) in children and the relationship between sB7-H3 and various cytokines. Methods The BALF of forty-three hospitalized children with RMPP (RMPP group) were collected for the diagnosis and treatment. Thirteen cases were lavaged only once and the other thirty cases had collected the BALF twice. The BALF of iffteen hospitalized children with bronchial foreign body were collected as control group. The expression levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF at the acute phase were compared with control group and the group after treatment. Analyzed the correlation between the level of sB 7-H 3 and IL-1β, IL-2 , IL-36 in the BALF of RMPP children at acute stage. Results The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β and IL-36 in the BALF of the ifrst lavage group were higher than those of single lavage group and control group (all P<0 . 05 ). The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF of single lavage group were higher than those of control group (all P<0 . 05 ). The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF of the second lavage group were lower than those of the ifrst lavage group (all P<0 . 05 ).The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-2 in the BALF of the second lavage group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0 . 05 ), but the levels of IL-1β, IL-36 in the BALF showed no difference between the second lavage group and the control group (both P>0 . 05 ). The levels of sB 7-H 3 had positive correlation with the levels of IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 (all P<0 . 001 ). Conclusions sB 7-H 3 may control the secretion of IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 , and participate in immune response and lung injury after MP infection, which may lead to occurrence and development of RMPP.

Objectives To compare the clinical features between rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus infection in lower respiratory tract in children. Methods From December 2012 to May 2013, direct immunofluorescence assay was per-formed to test RSV in 1 037 nasal aspirate specimens with LRTIs. RT-PCR method was used to test HRV RNA. The medical re-cords of patients with a positive test of HRV or RSV were reviewed and compared. Results The isolating rate for HRV and RSV was 8.78%(91/1 037) and 17.16%(178/1 037) respectively. The frequency of co-infection of HRV with other virus was 18.68%, higher than that of RSV (7.30%,χ2=7.867, P=0.005). The age distribution had significant difference between children infected with HRV and RSV (Z=5.40, P<0.001). 78.38% patients with HRV infection were younger than 3 years old, and 83.03%patients with RSV infection were younger than 1 year old. Dyspnea, hyoxemia and wheezing were more common in pa-tients with RSV infection. Admission occurred much later in the course of the HRV infection (P<0.01). Leukocytosis, eosinophi-lia, and an elevated total serum IgE were more common in patients with HRV infection (P<0.05). Conclusions HRV is one of the important causes of LRTIs in Suzhou. The susceptible population, clinical presentation and laboratory results of HRV infec-tions are different from that of RSV infections.
