Journal of Endocrine Surgery 2014;(6):459-462
Objective To observe the effects of different gastrointestinal reconstruction methods after dis -tal subtotal gastrectomy on nutritional condition and blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes ( T2DM) and gastric cancer.Methods 88 patients with T2DM and gastric cancer undergoing radial distal gastrectomy were studied and among them 43 patients had Billroth I gastrointestinal reconstruction , 22 patients had Billroth II gas-trointestinal reconstruction and 23 patients had Roux-en-Y gastrointestinal reconstruction .Body mass index ( BMI) , serum albumin and prealbumin of the 3 groups were measured preoperatively and 1 year after surgery . The patients were followed up .Results There was no significant difference among the 3 groups in preoperative values(P>0.05).One year after surgery, BMI, serum albumin and peralbumin in the 3 groups had different de-grees of reduction , but showed no statistical difference ( P>0.05 ) .The effective rate of diabetes control was 18.60%in Billroth I group , 72.73%in Billroth II group , and 73.91% in Roux-en-Y group and the difference had statistical significance(χ2 =17.390 3,P<0.05).The effective rates of diabetes control in Billroth II group and Roux-en-Y group were higher than that in Billroth I group (χ2 =18.340 9,P<0.05;χ2 =19.480 4,P<0.05), and there was no evident difference between Billroth II group and Roux-en-Y group(χ2 =0.008 1,P=0.928 4).Conclusion Billroth II and Roux-en-Y gastrointestinal reconstruction can improve glycemic metabo-lism of patients with T2DM and gastric cancer without significantly reducing the nutrition status .

3. Applications of microspheres in tissue engineering
Journal of International Pharmaceutical Research 2010;37(4):287-291
Tissue engineering has always been a hot spot in the life science area over the past few years. However, there are some problems, such as the multiplication of seeding cells, the preparation of tissue engineering scaffolds, and the controlled release of drugs from scaffolds and so on. Recently microspheres have been widely used to solve these problems. For example, microspheres are used as microcarriers to culture seeding cells. In addition, microsphers can be either used to prepare engineering scaffolds or directly used as scaffolds. Microspheres can be used to load drugs and control the drug release as well. In this paper the application of microspheres in tissue engineering is reviewed and the up-to-date methods are introduced, including ways of improving performances of microcarriers, preparing scaffolds with microspheres and adding drug-loaded microspheres into scaffolds.

BACKGROUND:After acute myocardial infarction(AMI),there is still surviving myocardium in and around the infarcted area,which plays an important role in the occurrence of arrhythmia. OBJECTIVE:To study the alterations of the activities of Na+ channel current(INa),L-calcium current(ICa-L),transient outward K+ current(Ito) and inward rectifying K+ current(IK1) in the cardiomyocytes in the infarcted area after AMI. DESIGN: A randomized controlled study. SETTING:Department of Cardiology,Bethune International Peace Hospital. PARTICIPANTS:The experiment was finished in the Central Laboratory of the Department of Cardiology,Bethune International Peace Hospital from January to June 2003.Twenty New Zealand pure big-ear rabbits were randomly divided into AMI group(n=10) and control group(n=10). INTERVENTIONS:Rabbit AMI models were established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery.The ventricular myocytes were separated with the method of enzymatic dissociation technique,and the changes of the ion currents were recorded with the whole cell patch-clamp techniques. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The changes of INa,ICa-L,Ito and IK1 in the cardiomyocytes taken from the infarcted area of epicardium 24 hours after AMI in both the AMI and control groups. RESULTS:Twenty-four hours after AMI,the peak current densities of INa,ICa-L and IK1 in the AMI group [(28.48± 3.53) pA/pF,n=16;(3.91± 0.95) pA/pF,n=12;(26.93 ± 3.48) pA/pF,n=16]were all significantly reduced as compared with those in the control group [(45.50± 5.33) pA/pF,n=12;(5.58± 1.53) pA/pF,n=10;(34.12± 4.21) pA/pF,n=10] (t=3.026,P< 0.01;t=2.985,P< 0.01;t=2.706,P< 0.05).There was no significant difference in the Ito density between the AMI group and control group (P >0.05). CONCLUSION:The reduce of INa,ICa-L and IK1 caused by AMI can result in the decrease of myocardial conduction velocity,the shortening of action potential-time,abnormal repolarization,which is possibly the ionic mechanism for the reentrant ventricular arrhythmia after AMI.

Objective To study the possibility of microvascular permeability (PS) value derived from perfusion CT (PCT) in predicting hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in acute cerebral infarction in elderly patients.Methods 52 consecutive patients with middle cerebral artery acute ischemic stroke who received thrombolytic therapy were divided into HT group and control group,and patients in HT group were further divided into hemorrhagic infarction (HI) group and parenchymal hematoma (PH) group.PCT data and Alberta stroke program early CT scores (ASPECTS) from CT angiography source images (CTA-SI) achieved within 6 hours after symptom onset of each group was retrospectively analyzed and statistically processed.Results In 52 patients,there were 22 cases developed HT,14 cases with HI,8 cases with PH.Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) values were decreased and permeability surface area product (PS) was increased in ipsilateral in HT group and control group as compared with the contralateral (all P<0.05).PS value in ipsilateral was significantly higher in HT group than in control group (P<0.01),but CBF and CBV values in affected side showed no significant difference between the HT group and control group.The area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve of PS Az value was 0.968.When PS ≥5.77 ml · min-1 · 100 g-1,the sensitivity and specificity of predicting HT were 95.5% and 86.7% respectively.The ASPECTS was lower in HT group than in the control group (P<0.01),and ASPECTS was higher in HI group than in PH group (P<0.01).The differences in PCT results in affected side between the HI group and PH group was not significant.Conclusions The significantly increased PS value can be a reference in predicting HT risk and guiding thrombolytic therapy.

BACKGROUND:Bone graft for acetabular reconstruction includes morselized bone graft, structural bone graft and hybrid bone graft, and the morselized bone has been widely used because of the advantages of simple
production and short healing time.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the key technologies and clinical effect of impaction bone grafting with morselized bone in total hip revision for AAOS Ⅲ acetabular deficiency.
METHODS:Sixteen cases of AAOS Ⅲ acetabular deficiency were treated with impaction bone grafting with morselized bone combined with metal devicesor constructive bone grafting. The hip Harris scores and
radiographic data were compared before and after treatment. The effect of impaction bone grafting with morselized bone on acetabular deficiency was assessed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the patients were fol owed-up at 3, 6, 12 months after surgery and every half a year successively. The pain of hip joints after operation was relieved significantly and the walking function was
restored. The hip Harris score was improved from 48.00 points before surgery to 84.94 points after surgery (P<0.01). Five cases were graded as excel ent, eight cases as good, two cases as average, and one case as poor. The excel ent and good rate was 81%, and the satisfying rate of the patients was 94%. The post-operative X-ray films of al the 16 patients showed that the acetabular rotation centers were recovered (near) to normal and the acetabular cups were covered wel by bone. The grafting bone particles got radiological osseointegration and the
acetabular cup prosthesis did not displaced, and no displacement and breakage happened to the metal devices.
Impaction bone grafting with morselized bone in total hip revision for AAOS Ⅲ acetabular deficiency can effectively reconstruct the acetabular bone structure, retain and restore the acetabular bone mass, and it has good technical advantages and good clinical effects.
