Objective To investigate the effect of rosiglitazone on renal interstitial fibrosis in chronic cyclosporine nephropathy (CCN) rats.Methods Twenty-eight rats were randomly assigned to control group,rosiglitazone (RGZ,5 mg·kg-1·d-1) group,cyclosporine A(CsA,15 mg·kg-1·d-1) group,rosiglitazone (5 mg·kg-1·d-1) +CsA group.Real-time PCR and RT-PCR methods were used to investigate the expressions of OPN,RANTES on the 14th day and MMP-9,TIMP-1 on the 35th day in kidney of CCN respectively.Results In comparison with control group,the expressions of OPN,RANTES,MMP-9,TIMP-1 in CsA and RGZ+CsA groups were increased (P<0.05).In comparison with the CsA group,the expressions of OPN,RANTES,MMP-9,TIMP-1 in CsA+RGZ group significantly decreased (P<0.05).Conclusion Rosiglitazone may protect renal tissue after CCN by decreasing expressions of OPN,RANTES,MMP-9,TIPM-1.

Objective To explore whether the presence of juxtapapillary duodenal diverticula (JPDD) risks biliary stone disease and recurrence.Methods 829 patients undergoing ERCP in our hospital from Aug 2008 to Dec 2012 were divided into four groups:biliary stone disease (n =609) non-stone biliary abnormality (n =124) common bile duct malformation with cholelithiasis (n =38) and normal control group (n =58).There were 206 patients with JPDD and 623 patients without JPDD.Biliary stoneformation,post-ERCP pancreatitis,cannulation failure,and stone recurrence were compared between those with JPDD and those without.Results The incidence of JPDD in biliary stone disease group (27.8%) was significantly higher than in non-stone biliary anatomical abnormality group (18.5 %) (x2 =4.512,P < 0.05).In biliary stone disease group,rates of post-ERCP pancreatitis were significantly higher in JPDD cases (33.7%) compared to those without JPDD (13.8%) (x2 =30.841,P < 0.05).The cannulation failure rate was also higher in patients with JPDD (15.4%) compared to JPDD negative (6.8%) (x2 =0.731,P <0.05).Recurrence rates in biliary stone disease were significantly higher in patients with JPDD (19.5%) when compared to JPDD-lacking individuals (9.3%) (x2 =14.51,P < 0.05).Conclusions JPDD is a risk factor for biliary stone formation.JPDD also is associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis,cannulation failure and biliary stone recurrence.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of two minimally invasive surgical treatments for billary acute pancretitis.Method In this study,63 patients with billary acute pancretitis were prospectively divided into two groups.Patients in group A received laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic transcyctic common bile duct exploration (LTCBDE) within 72 hours of onset,group B underwent endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD).The two groups were evaluated by blood amylase and urine amylase,alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase on postoperative day 1,3,5,local complication and the recurrence rate within 6 months.Result Blood amylase was lower in group A than that in group B (P =0.04) on postoperative day 1.There were no significant differences in amylase,aminotransferase of two groups on postoperative day 3,5 (all P > 0.05).The incidences of local complications and pancreatic necrosis infection were 2.7%,7.7% respectively(P =0.13) ; the incidences of pancreatic pseudocyst were 5.4%,7.7% (P =0.42) ; the recurrence rate within 6 months were 2.7% and 19.2% respectively(P =0.006).Conclusions The clinical curative effects of early LC and LTCBDE or ENBD on billary acute pancretitis showed no significant differences,but the recurrence rate of acute pancretitis within 6 months revealed that early LC and LTCBDE may be more effective.

ObjectiveTo probe into the clinical efficiency of reconstruction to person who had composite tissue defect of the floor of mouth and the lower part of face with the free forearm flap and free iliac bone in the same term.MethodsBefore the surgery, the surgeon should carefully evaluate the scope and shape of defects in 11 cases who had the composite tissue defects of the floor of mouth and the lower part of face, to design the individual forearm flap, so that it matches with the defect region. During surgery, the first resumption of defects using titanium plates forming the basic shape of mandible and the occlusal relationship,then used to re-sawing to take modeling of the iliac bone,transplanted free iliac bone and fixed after the inside of the titanium plate, thereby restoring the continuity of mandible missing.ResultsFree forearm flap and free iliac bone all survived in 11 cases, the success rate of 100%. The patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months, although the shape of restoration areas were different levels of fat, but eating, swallowing and other oral function had been well improved, 7/11 could enter normal diet, 4/11 to enter liquid diet, At the same time, the patients in social activities can communicate in a language daily, sensory function of skin flap and facial appearance has been satisfactory recovery.ConclusionConformal free forearm flap and free iliac bone is an ideal way to reconstruct the composite tissue defects of the floor of mouth and the lower part of face in the same period, not only safe, practical prognostic effect, and also can significantly improve the patients quality of life, which is worthy of reference and use.

To demonstrate the current strategies for treating cartilage defects of knees and the related research. Published papers about cartilage defects were searched and reviewed. The current strategies for the treatment were summarized. Based on the research of our study and others, the conclusion how to treat cartilage defects was made. The current ways for treating cartilage defects include micro-fractures, chondrocytes transplantation, mosaicplasty and tissue engineering; Research on functional magnetic resonance imaging in the early diagnosis of cartilage defects, cartilage degeneration is gradually increasing. There is still no effective treatment of cartilage defects and tissue engineering has brought new hopes for the treatment of cartilage defects , functional magnetic resonance imaging has some significance in early diagnosis of cartilage defects, cartilage degeneration.

Objective: To analyze the survival rate of stomach cancer patients and its variation during different periods in Linzhou city, Henan Province, from 1988 to 2004, and evaluate the level of secondary prevention and diagnosis of stomach cancer in this area. Methods: All of the incidence and death records of stomach cancer from 1988 to 2004 were collected and matched from Linzhou Cancer Registry. The records that were identified as duplicate cases or had only death certificate (DCO) were excluded. The tumor cause eliminated life tables in this area were calculated and linked to the data of incidence and death of stomach cancer. FivE-year observed survival rates and fivE-year relative survival rates in three periods (1990-1994, 1995-1999, and 2000-2004) were calculated using period survival analysis mehod. The relative survival curves in the three periods were plotted. Results:The 5-year relative survival rate of stomach cancer was 26.66% during 1990-1994, 32.01% during 1995-1999, and 40.43% during 2000-2004 in Linzhou city. It showed a gradually increasing trend. The 5-year survival rates were higher in males than those in females. During 1990-1994 and 1995-1999, the 5-year survival rates of gastric cardia cancer were higher than those of non-cardia cancer. During 2000-2004 period, the 5-year survival rate of gastric cardia cancer was lower than that of non-cardia cancer. Conclusion: The survival rates of stomach cancer in Linzhou city are increasing gradually since 1990s in 20 century. It indicates that the levels of secondary prevention and clinical diagnosis and treatment on stomach cancer kept increasing in this area.
