Abstract: Total RNA was isolated from Siraitia grosvenorii fruit by the method of modified Trizol, according to S. grosvenorii fruit characteristics of rich phenols, polysaccharide, oil and proteins. The OD260/280, OD260/230, RNA integrity (RIN) and yield of the total RNA with this method were 2.01, 2.02, 9.50 and 260 mirog.g-1, respectively. The open reading frame (ORF) of dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), named as SgDHAR, was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and RT-PCR method from S. grosvenorii. The GenBank accession number for this gene is KC907731. The SgDHAR gene contains a full-length cDNA of 1,252 bp including ORF of 819 bp and encodes a predicted protein of 272 amino acids. The molecular mass is 30.217 7 kD and the isoelectric point is 8.76. Homology comparison showed that it shared 87% nucleotide sequence homology with Cucumis sativus. Expression patterns using qRT-PCR analysis showed that SgDHAR was mainly expressed in fruit and stem, followed by flower, and was lowest in root, while the expression level was 6.83 times in triploid. T than that in diploid. Therefore, SgDHAR gene may be involved in abortion of triploid seedless S. grosvenorii.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different selection criteria on the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)patients undergoing liver transplantation(LT)and to evaluate a new criterion.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 81 consecutive patients with HCC who underwent LT.The survival rates of the patients who met different criteria such as Milan.UCSF(University of California San Francisco UCSF).and Pittsburgh(Pitt)modified TNM criteria were calculated by KaplanMeier method,and the value of different criteria was evaluated.The Long-Rank test and COX proportional hazards regression model were performed to analyze the prognostic factors.the model of criteria was established according the most important prognostic factors.Using the Kaplan-Meier method,the suitable cut-offs of every variable ifl the model were found by comparing the survival and the number of the patients who met the cut-off,and considering the significant difference between the patients who met and exceed the cut-off at the same time.Resuits The 1,2,3-year accumulative survival rates of the 19 patients who met Milan criteria were 87.7%,87.7%,and 52.6%respectively:the 1,2,3-year disease free survival rates of them were 88.9%,72.7%,and 72.7%respectively.The 1,2.3-year accumulative survival rates of the 26 patients who met UCSF criteria were 87.2%,80.5%,and 55.2%respectively;the 1,2,3-year disease free survival rates of them were 84.1%,68.4%,and 68.4%respectively.With our new expanded criterion as of solitary tumor≤8 cm in diameter.or no more than 3 tumors,with the largest≤6 am,and a total tumor diameter≤10 cm.there was no significant difierence in 1,2,3-year sunrival rates and disease free survival rates(89.0%,81.8%,71.8%,and 81.9%,72.4%,72.4%.)as compared with Milan or UCSF criteria.but with this new criterion more patients(a=41)would be eligible for transplantation with a comparable long term survival.and the difference of the accumulative survival rates and disease free survival rates of the patients who met and exceed the new criteria was significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The new indication is acceptable because the criteria does not adversely impact survival.

Objective To assess the clinical effect of tumor-type prosthesis replacement for treatment of giant cell tumors of bone near the joints. Methods Thirty-seven patients with giant cell tumors of bone near the joints from January 1998 to January 2008 were reviewed. 18 were males and 19 were females. The ages ranged from 19 to 64 and the median age was 32 years old. The anatomic site of the lesions spreaded at distal femur(23 cases) , proximal tibia(10 cases),proximal humerus(3 cases) and proximal femur(1 case). According to Companacci's staging system: 9 patients were classified as grade II and 28 as grade Ⅲ. All patients had been treated with block excision and reconstruction with prosthesis. The functional outcomes were evaluated by MSTS 93 score. Results According to the follow-up for 2 -9 years,1 patient (4. 3% ) had local recurrence and underwent amputation of the diseased limb. As for the complications, periprosthesis infection occurred in 1 patient, prosthesis loosening in 2 patients. The average MSTS 93 score was 22. 49 ±5. 16 in 3 years after surgery. The evaluated functional result revealed excellent or good performance in 89. 2% of the patients. Conclusions Tumor-type prosthesis replacement is an effective procedure to reduce the local recurrence,and to restore joint function.

Objective To explore the change of function and expression of hematopoietic lineage cell specific protein-1 (HS1) and phosphorylated HS1 (p-HIS) and factors devoting to HS1 phosphorylation in platelet with sepsis.Methods Plasma with rich platelet was collected from 150 sepsis patients and 50 healthy subjects, and comparison of platelets adhesion and aggregation were detected by micro-pore method and platelet aggregation instrument.Meanwhile the ATP concentrations of washed platelet of two groups were detected by the kit to compare release reaction.And then total HS1 (t-HIS) and p-HS1 of platelet from two groups were compared by using western blot.Afterwards the specific inhibitors of Src and Syk were used to verify the HS1 activation regulated by Src and Syk in LPS-induced cell model.Results The significant differences were present between healthy subjects and sepsis patients in platelet counts, platelet distribution width (PDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV) (P ＜ 0.01).The data showed the sepsis patients had greater ability than healthy subjects in adhesion, aggregation and release reaction.Meanwhile the platelets of sepsis patients had higher concentration of t-HS1 and p-HS1 than healthy subjects, and the specific inhibitors of Src and Syk , PP2 and piceatannol, inhibited the increase in p-HS1 in LPS-induced cell model.Conclusions Function of platelet is closely related to HS1 in sepsis and it will be a target for sepsis therapy.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of neglecting superficial femoral artery (SFA) recanalization for chronic lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO).Methods:Thirty-six cases treated for severe stenosis or occlusion of superficial femoral artery resulted from ASO were randomly divided into 2 groups.Twenty of them were treated by endovascular reconstruction of superficial femoral artery and the other 16 cases were not treated with their superficial femoral artery,but were only treated with the accompanied iliac and/or profunda femoral artery lesion.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups on mean age,gender,ABI before treatment,accompanied diseases,Rutherford classification and trans-atlantic inter-society consensus (TASC) classification (P ＞ 0.05).One week after operation,the reconstruction group had better marked effect and total effective rate [75.0％ vs.12.5％ (P ＜0.001);90.0％ vs.37.5％ (P =0.001)] and lower no effective rate [10.0％ vs.62.5％ (P =0.001)],There was no significant difference between the two groups on effective rate [15.0％ vs.25.0％ (P =0.675)].The deteriorate cases in both groups were zero,and there was no morbidity of complications and death in both groups during the perioperative period.In the 3-month follow up,the reconstruction group had a better marked effect rate [65.0％ vs.25.0％ (P =0.017)];There was no significant difference between the two groups on the effective rate,no effective rate and total effective rate [20.0％ vs.43.8％ (P=O.124);15.0％ vs.31.3％ (P =0.422);85.0％ vs.68.8％ (P =0.422)].The deteriorate cases and morbidity of complications and death in both groups during the perioperative period were still zero.In the 6-and 12-month follow ups,there were no significant differences between the two groups on marked effect and total effective rate [60.0％ vs.37.5％ (P =0.180),80.0％ vs.87.5％(P=0.672);60.0％ vs.43.8％(P=0.332),85.0％ vs.87.5％(P=1.000)].The deteriorate case was zero in both groups,and there was no morbidity of complications and death in both groups.The limb salvage rate in both groups was 100％ during the whole follow up period.The reconstruction group had a higher cost [(53 367.4 ± 24 518.3) yuan vs.(30 397.5 ± 15 354.4) yuan(P =0.011)].There were 8 cases of SFA restenosis/ reocclusion during the follow up,three of which accepted another endovascular treatment,and the reoperation rate was 15.0％.while in the nonreconstruction group,there was no case that needed another endovascular therapy,and the reoperation rate was zero.Conclusion:Only dealing with accompanied iliac and profunda artery lesion and neglecting superficial femoral artery reconstruction is a safe,effective and inexpensive therapy for chronic lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans,and should be the preferred alternative for some patients.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endovascular treatment in solving symptomatic cerebral artery tandem lesions.Methods:From June 201 2 to February 201 4,1 2 cases (24 lesions)with symptomatic cerebral artery tandem lesions were accepted for the endovascular treatment. The distributions of the tandem lesions were as follows:the common carotid artery and internal carotid ar-tery (1 case),the internal carotid artery and the proximal of the carotid cavernous sinus segment (3 ca-ses),the internal carotid artery and the distal of the carotid cavernous sinus segment (4 cases),the in-tracranial segment of internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery M1 segment (2 cases),the first segment of vertebral artery and intracranial segment of vertebral artery (2 cases).All of these cases were treated from distal lesions to proximal lesions except for tandem lesions in the internal carotid artery and the distal of the carotid cavernous sinus segment in order to obtain better support.Tandem lesions were treated in the same operation with local anesthesia or general anesthesia.The procedures of the 1 2 cases retrospectively were analyzed and the peri-operation complications and responsibility region recurrent is-chemic stroke incidents observed.Results:All tandem lesions were solved successfully all at once.There were no peri-operation complications or recurrent ischemic stroke incidents.There were no recurrent is-chemic stroke incidents or stent restenosis cases in the follow-up.Conclusion:It is safe and effective for selective endovascular treatment in solving symptomatic cerebral artery tandem lesions at the same time, but we should take careful preoperative evaluation and improve the operation plan.

Objective:To explore the effect of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) on long-term follow-up study in patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APE).
Methods:A total of 214 consecutive patients with the first episode of APE admitted in our hospital from 2009-01 to 2012-12 were enrolled. The patients were divided into 2 groups:RDW≤15%group, n=202 and RDW>15%group, n=12. Baseline RDW was measured at admission, the follow-up study was conducted at 3, 6, 12 months thereafter, and then at once per year. The major primary end point was chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The independent predictor for CTEPH occurrence was studied by uni-and multivariate logistic regression analysis and the predictive capability of RDWwas evaluated by ROC curve.
Results: All patients ifnished the follow-up study at the mean of (31±17) months. The overall occurrence rate of CTEPH was 7.5% (16/214), which was higher in RDW>15% group than that in RDW≤15% group (33.3% vs 5.9%, P=0.002). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that with adjusted clinical data and other predictors, RDW>15%was still the strong predictor for CTEPH occurrence (OR=7.916, 95%CI 1.474-42.500, P=0.016). Adding RDW to the evaluating model, the predictive capability could be signiifcantly improved by ROC curve (AUC increased from 0.856 to 0.901, P<0.01).
Conclusion: Elevated RDW is the independent predictor for CTEPH occurrence in APE patients, which is helpful to estimate the prognosis and treatment strategy in APE patients.

Objective To evaluate the technique of selective portal vein embolization before hepatectomy and its value in the preparation of major hepatic resection for those with insufficient future remnant liver.Methods From Jan 2008 to July 2012,6 patients who suffered from hepatic tumors underwent selective ipsilateral portal vein embolization (PVE) due to insufficient future remnant liver volume (FRLV) before second-stage major hepatic resection.Results Technically,all six PVE were completed successfully with only minor liver function damages.The average FRLV increased from (474.33 ± 89.19)cm3 to (722.67 ± 151.51) cm3 (t =-5.587,P =0.003).The average tumor burden (total tumor volume)increased from (134 ± 181) cm3 to (270 ± 346) cm3 (t =-1.64,P =0.16).Five cases underwent secondstage major hepatectomy 6 weeks after PVE,while in 1 case a resection attempt was abandoned because of uncontrolled tumor growth during the period.During the follow-up period (median 37 months),1 died,4 survived,2 were tumor-free.Conclusions Selective portal vein embolization is a safe and effective method to induce hepatic hypertrophy in the appropriate clinical setting.Before PVE,hepatic tumor should be controlled beforehand with chemotherapy or TACE to ensure the scheduled second-stage hepatectomy.

Objective: To explore the effect of calcium channel blocker (CCB) treatment in patients of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) with positive acute pulmonary vasodilator test, and to compare the hemodynamic differences between the positive and negative patients.
Methods: A total of 156 consecutive IPAH patients with acute pulmonary vasodilator test were studied. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the testing result. Positive group, n=23 and Negative group, n=133. The positive patients were followed up by clinical or telephone visit to investigate their CCB dose, WHO PAH cardiac classiifcation and the survival conditions. Kaplan-meier curve was conducted to analyze the living condition and t test was used to compare the hemodynamic differences between the positive and negative patients.
Results: There were 43 male and 113 female patients at the male/female ratio of 1: 2.6, and 14.7% (23/156) positive patients. The average follow-up period for Positive group was (50.9 ± 3.8) months. There were 13 patients using diltiazem with the mean dose of (277 ± 108) mg/d at the range of (90-450) mg/d; 3 patients using amlodipine, 1 with the dose of 15mg/d and 2 with the dose of 7.5mg/d. The 1, 2 and 3 years survival rate for the positive patients were for 91.3%, 86.6% and 79.7% respectively. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance were lower, P=0.000, while the mixed venous oxygen saturation was higher in Positive group than Negative group, P=0.009.The NT-pro BNP level was lower in Positive group, P=0.001.
Conclusion: IPAH patients has lower ratio of positive acute pulmonary vasodilator test. The positive patients has the higher 1, 3 and 5 years survival rate and better hemodynamic parameters as the mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance and better level of NT-pro BNP.
