Objective To evaluate the role of 3 D spiral computerized tomographic angiography (SCTA) in microsurgery of separating craniopagus twins Methods A case of craniopagus twins underwent spiral CTA Image reconstruction was made by shaded surface display Result SCTA demonstrated osseous fusion in twins skull Parts of bone and dura mater were found to be absent in the fused area Two parts of brain tissues were linked together, and some area were fused Twins' one third of posterior superior sagittal sinuses were fused and converged into a common sinus One side of their transverse sinuses were fused Conclusion SCTA can clearlly reveal the abnormalities of skull, cerebrum, intracranial blood vessels, especially the stereostruction between intracranial blood vessels and skull SCTA is useful for intraoperative bone design and decision of surgical route and has important value in formulating surgical plans

Corynebacterium glutamicum SA001 is a mutant with lactate dehydrogenase (ldhA) deletion. In order to increase metabolic flux from isocitrate to succinate, and to improve the production of succinate under anaerobic conditions,we transducted the gene aceA coding isocitrate lyase (ICL) from Escherichia coli K12 into Corynebacterium glutamicum SA001 (SA001/pXMJ19-aceA). After 12 h aerobic induction by adding 0.8 mmol/L of IPTG, the recombinant strain was transferred to anaerobic fermentation for 16 h. Succinate reached 14.84 g/L, with a productivity of 0.83 g/(L x h). Compared to C. glutamicum SA001, the activity of ICL of the recombinant strain was increased 5.8-fold, and the succinate productivity was increased 48%. Overexpression of isocitrate lyase will increase the metabolic flux of glyoxylate bypass flowing to succinate.

Objective To compare the safety and effectiveness of duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) with pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis with a pancreatic head mass.Methods Medline,Biosis,Cochrane Library,Science Citation Index Database,CBM Database,Wan Fang and CNKI were searched systematically.The bias risk of the included trials was assessed according to the assessing tools as suggested by the Cochrane Handbook.Review Manage 5.2 was used to perform the statistical analysis.Results 7 RCTs with 226 patients were included in the meta-analysis which showed that there were no significant differences between PPPD and DPPHR in overall postoperative morbidity,postoperative hospital stay,complete pain relief,pancreatic fistula,exocrine insufficiency,symptom score at 5 to 7-year follow-up,and quality of life score at 14 to 15-year follow-up (P > 0.05).While DPPHR had significant superiorities in operation time,blood replacement,delayed gastric emptying,occupational rehabilitation after the operations,weight gain,quality of life score at 1 to 2-year follow-up,symptom score at 5 to 7-year follow-up,and physical functioning score at 14 to 15-year follow-up.Conclusions DPPHR is more favourable than PPPD in reducing the use of blood replacement,shortening operation time,delayed gastric emptying,occupational rehabilitation after the operations,weight gain,physical functioning,and in improving quality of life of patients.

AlM: To explore the clinical therapeutic effect of the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment of idiopathic panuveitis.
METHODS: Totally 47 patients ( 69 eyes ) with the idiopathic panuveitis were included in this study, which were randomly divided into control group and treatment group. Twenty-four cases (33 eyes) with the method of Western medicine-glucocorticoid and mydriatic were in control group, while 23 cases (36 eyes) with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine were in treatment group. Those patients were followed up 12-36mo, the vision before and after treatment, the therapeutic effects, the complications and the side effects of glucocorticoid were recorded.
RESULTS: Both of two groups' vision after treatment were improved, but the vision of treatment group was better than the control group. The effective rate and the cure rate of the treatment group were increased significantly. Of all of the complications, the incidence rate of complicated cataract and secondary glaucoma of the treatment group were reduced significantly. Of all of the side effects of glucocorticoid, the central excitation, hypertension and central obesity of the treatment group were reduced significantly (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSlON: Dialectical therapy of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine has better therapeutic effect than simple Western medicine treatment of idiopathic panuveitis, and could better reduce the side effect of glucocorticoid long-term use. lt is worthy applying in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and clinical features of fulminant type 1 diabetes.Methods Using data retrieved from Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University,all patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes from Jan.1,2001 to Dec.31,2007 were identified.The patients were divided into fulminant type 1 diabetes (F1D) group,typical type 1 diabetes (T1A) group,and idiopathic type 1 diabetes(T1B) group.Their clinical features were compared.Results Eight patients (9.1%) fulfilled the criteria for fulminant type 1 diabetes among 87 newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes,and the percentage of fulminant type 1 diabetes reached 14.0% among type 1 diabetic patients with age of onset of 18 years or older.Patients of F1D group had a markedly higher plasma glucose concentration compared with patients of T1A group and T1B group(P=0.004).Serum amylase was higher in F1D group than that in T1A group(P = 0.021).Four (50%) patients were GADA positive,among whom 1 patient was Coxsackie B virus (CVB) IgM positive and 1 patient was Herpes Simplex virus 1 (HSV1) IgM positive.Conclusions Fulminant type 1 diabetes accounts for about 10% of the type 1 diabetes in the Chinese individuals with ketosis-or ketoacidosis-onset.Patients with this subset of diabetes had severe metabolic derangement.Viral infection and autoimmunity may be involved in the pathogenesis of fulminant type 1 diabetes.

Objective To analyze the preoperative related factors of early weaning of infants with congenital heart disease after operation. Methods From January ,2014 to January ,2017 in Pediatric Cardiology CICU , infants with congenital heart disease were selected as research objects. The clinical data were retrospectively collect ed and the relationship between preoperative influencing factors and postoperative early weaning were analyzed. Early weaning meant mechanical ventilation time was shorter than 24 h and late weaning meant longer than 24 h. Results Single factor analysis showed that early weaning success rate was related to preoperative cardiac function grade 1,NNIS grade 0~1,ASA grade 1,no lung infection and no or mild pulmonary hypertension(average P<0.05). Non conditional logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative heart function grade 1 was an indepen-dent influencing factor,with OR value(95%CI)of 3.9(1.9~7.7). Conclusions In infants with congenital heart disease,preoperative heart function grade 1,NNIS grade 0 ~ 1 ,ASA grade 1,no lung infection and no or mild pulmonary hypertension benefit early withdrawing of ventilator and preoperative cardiac function grade 1 is an inde-pendent factor for early weaning.
