Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of iatrogenic bile duct injury(IBDI).Methods The clinical data of 92 patients with IBDI who had been admitted to our hospital from January 1994 to December 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The diagnosis of IBDI was based on the clinical findings,diagnostic abdominocentesis and imaging examination.Sixteen patients gave up treatment because of economic reasons,and 2 patients who were complicated with sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome died shortly after being transferred to our hospital.Forty-eight patients were treated by Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy,14 by endoscopic treatment.2 by bile duet repair+T tube drainage,3 by percutaneous catheter drainage,1 by choledochoduodenostomy,4 by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage,and 2 by ultrasound guided percutaneous puncture drainage.Sixty-two patients were followed up for 4 month to 10 years(mean,3.6 years),and satisfactory results were obtained.Conclusions Detection of IBDI during operation and prompt repair yield favorable outcome.Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy is the best choice for bile duct injury complicated with biliary stricture.Endoscopic and interventional treatments are important auxiliary measures in the treatment of bile duct injury.

A method was developed for the determination of 39 polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs) from mono- to hepta-brominated in coastal sediment by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The sample was extracted with a solution of dichloromethane: n-hexane( 1:1,V/V) ,followed by ultrasonic extraction for 60 min at 25℃. The clean-up step was optimized using silica gel and alumina. The detection limit of the method was in the range of 0.003 - 0.10μg/kg. The results indicate that the average recovery of the internal standard was from 66.2% to 118. 6%. The relative standard deviation RSD( % ) was from 0. 8 % to 18. 2%. The method for the detection of 39 PBDE congeners in coastal sediment was sensitive,high reproducible with satisfactory recoveries.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of metholrexate combined with rmifepristone and laparoscopic surgery for treating ectopic pregnancy.Methods 85 patient with ectopic pregnancy were selected.41 cases treated with methotrexate and mifeprisione were considered as the control group,while 44 cases with laparoscopic surgery were considered as the observalion group on the voluntary basis.The clinical efficacy,serum β-HCG value and recovery time after 7d were compared between the two groups.Results After the treatment,the cure rate in the observation group was 100％ which was significantly higher than 90％ of the control group ( P ＜ 0.05 ),the serum β-HCG value of the observation group was lower and the restoration normal time was shorter than the control group ( P ＜0.05).Conclusions Laparoscopic surgery and conservative treatment of methotrexate combined with mifepristone are effective in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy.However,the clinical efficacy of the laparoscopic surgery is better and it has rapid recovery time,and it can completely cure the patients.

This study was set up to observe the changes in stress and immune functions in upper abdominal surgery after general anesthesia.In thirty elective upper abdominal operation patients,general anesthesia was induced with propofol,fentanyl,scoline and maintained with isoflane and atrumium. Catecholamines(CA),cortisol,interleukin-2(IL-2) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R) were measured before anesthesia,after induction of anesthesia,at the end of operation,and on the first and third postoperative days.The results showed that epinephrine(E),norepinephrine(NE) concentration increased at the end of operation and on the first postoperative day(P<0.01)，Cortisol concentration decreased after anesthesia induction(P<0.05)，IL-2 concentration decreased at the end of operation(P<0.05)，and sIL-2R lever did not change.The investigation suggested that general anesthesia with propofol,fentanyl and isoflane can suppress CA and cortisol increase resulting from induction of anesthesia. There was no change in IL-2 level.However it can not suppress the increase of stress hormones and decrease of IL-2 due to operation.The stress response correlate with immune functions.

ObjectiveTo analyze the systolic function of subendocardial myocardium of the left ventricle in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and DM associated hypertension by speckle tracking imaging (STI).Methods The left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) of all subjects including 30 patients with diabetes mellitus(DM group),25 patients with DM associated hypertension (DH group) and 30 healthy volunteers (control group) were normal and near.The common parameters of echocardiogram were measured and the peak systolic longitudinal strain of subendocardial myocardium were analyzed from the long-axis view at the levels of mitral annulus,papillary muscle and apex by STI.All above parameters were compared among three groups.ResultsNo significant difference in all parameters was found between the control group and two patient groups,but the ratio of E/A was significantly lower in the two patient groups than that of control group ( P ＜0.01).The peak systolic longitudinal strain of some segments were significantly lower in the two patient groups than that of control group ( P ＜0.01).The peak systolic longitudinal strain of the subendocardial myocardium of all segments in the two patient groups were different decrease compared with the control group( P ＜0.01 or P ＜ 0.001).The peak systolic longitudinal strain of the subendocardial myocardium of the DH group except some segments were decrease compared with the DM group ( P ＜0.01).ConclusionsSTI may be early used to identify the left ventricular systolic function in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Objective To investigate the best method of transfecting total RNA extracted from pancreatic cancer MiaPaCa-2 cells into dendrtic cells (DCs). Methods DCs were cultured from peripheral blood mononuclear cells induced by rhGM-CSF, rhIL-4 and TNF-α. Morphology of DCs was observed. Flow cytometry was used to detect the mature DCs specific surface markers:CD40, HLA-DR, CD83, CD86. Mixed lymphocyte (MLR) was used to determine the ability of DCs to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation.Liposomal transfection, electroporation method and passive transfection was used to transfect MiaPaCa-2 cell total RNA into DCs, Real time RT-PCR and MTT assay was used to determine the expression of MUC1 mRNA and the survival rate of the RNA transfected DCs. Results The cells acquired showed typical DCs morphology, the positive rate of CD40, HLA DR, CD83 and CD86 were 34.3% ,50.2% ,89.2% and 73.6%,and they showed a strong ability to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation. 48 h after transfection with MiaPaCa-2 cells total RNA by using electroporation, the MUC1 mRNA amount (45.39 ± 9.33) in DCs was higher than that of liposomes method (3 1. 68 ± 7.25) and passive transfection method (18.53 ± 3.26) . DCs survival rate was (80.36 ± 2.43)% by using electroporation, which was relatively lower than (91.48 ±5.42) % by using passive transfection method, but higher than (67.44 ± 2.51) % by using liposomes method,and it was stabilized around 80%. Conclusions Transfecting total RNA extracted from pancreatic cancer MiaPaCa-2 cells into DCs with electroporation is efficient and safe.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of probucol combined with atorvastatin in treatment of stenosis carotid atherosclerosis.MethodsEighty-six patients with stenosis carotid atherosclerosis were separated into two groups with 43 cases each by random digits table.The patients were treated with probucol combined with atorvastatin in observation group and atorvastatin only in control group.The changes of arteriosclerotic plaque and blood fat pre- and poet-treatment were observed.Results There was no significant difference in the levels of lumen area (LN) and intima-media thickness (IMT) pre-treatment between two groups (P＞ 0.05).Compared with pre-treatment,the levels of LN and IMT post-treatment were significantly decreased in observation group(P ＜ 0.05 ),while no significant difference in control group (P ＞0.05).There was significant difference in the levels of LN and IMT post-treatment between two groups [(0.59 ±0.19) cm2 vs.(0.72 ±0.28) cm2,(2.76 ±0.41 ) mm vs.(3.27 ±0.57) mm](P＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the levels of total cholesterol (TC),triacylglycerol (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) pre-treatment between two groups (P ＞0.05).Compared with pre-treatment,the levels of TC,TG,LDL-C post-treatment were decreased,HDL-C was increased,there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05 ).Post-treatment,the levels of TC,TG,LDL-C in observation group were lower and HDL-C was higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Probucol combined with atorvastatin in treatment of stenosis carotid atherosclerosis can improve arteriosclerotic plaque and low blood fat,which can be applied in clinic.

With the wide application of clinical guidelines and standardization of Chinese medicine (CM), guidelines of CM and/or integrative medicine (IM) were also emerging. By the guideline evaluation instruments such as the Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation (AGREE) Instrument and Conference on Guideline Standardization (COGS), a preliminary assessment of 11 clinical guidelines for CM and/or IM published before October 2008 was performed. Methodological description of evidence collection or synthesization was absent in most clinical guidelines, and evidence-grading criteria were listed in only one of the eleven guidelines. Inadequate standardization of guideline development, single professional background of guideline developers, and lack of high-grade evidence were the current problems. It was suggested that guideline development group should include individuals from multiple relevant professional fields. Stress should be laid on evidence collection and recommendation grading. Guideline developers should follow the rigorous development methodology of evidence-based guidelines, and the methods for evaluating evidence and grading recommendations should be set up according to the characteristics of medical literature of CM. In addition, more attention should be paid to appraise the quality of clinical practice guidelines of CM and IM.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) exerts its central nervous system (CNS) protective function as it hinders the delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents to the brain. With the development of nanotechnology during the last thirty years, the nanocarriers for delivering drugs make it possible to transport drugs across the BBB. The brain-targeted drug delivery system usually consists of two parts: nanocarriers and brain-targeted strategies. In this review, several kinds of nanocarriers are introduced for brain-targeted drug delivery. We focus on several possible strategies for brain-targeting and comment on their advantages and disadvantages in application.
