Objective To investigate the differential expression of hepatocyte growth factor activator (HGFA) and its inhibitors (HAI-1,HAI-2) during cirrhotic and normal liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy,and to explore the causes of the delayed liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy in cirrhotic rat model.Methods We used 40% CCl4 subcutaneous injection to establish the cirrhotic rat model,and then performed 70% liver resection for the experimental group together with no operation for the healthy rats as control group.Rats in each group after 3 hours,6 hours,12 hours,24 hours and 48 hours were randomly sacrificed and specimens were collected.The serum HGFA was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and we used RT-PCR to detect the mRNA expressions of HAI-1 and HAI-2 in splenic tissue.Results The serum HGFA level in cirrhotic rats at each time point was all significantly lower than that in the control group (P <0.05).The expression of HAI-1 mRNA in cirrhotic rats was sustained at a higher level than that in the control group (P < 0.05),but there was no significant difference on the HAI-2 mRNA expression between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusions The synthesis of HGFA during the liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy in cirrhosis rats is lower compared with healthy rats,which may lead to the insufficient activation of HGF precursor,eventually causing the slow liver regeneration.HAI-2 may not be involved in the healing process of liver.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that the reason of the slower liver regeneration in individuals of cirrhotic liver after partial hepatectomy compared with healthy liver may be related to the delayed synthesis and secretion of hepatocyte growth factor during liver regeneration, but the cause of this phenomenon is not clear. The hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor found in recent years can indirectly inhibit the activation of hepatocyte growth factor, but there is little research to explore the expression of hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor in the regeneration process after partial hepatectomy in cirrhotic liver and its relationship with the liver regeneration. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitors (HAI-1, HAI-2) during cirrhotic and normal liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy through establishing the cirrhotic rat model, and to explore the biological effects of HAI-1, HAI-2 in cirrhotic liver during the liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. METHODS:We used 40%CCl4 subcutaneous injection to establish the cirrhotic rat model, then we performed 70%liver resection for the experimental group. The rats in the control group only received ordinary water feeding and 70%liver resection. Rats in each group were randomly sacrificed before surgery and at 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery, and samples were col ected. We used RT-PCR technology to detect the expression of HAI-1 mRNA, HAI-2 mRNA in splenic tissue. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expression levels of HAI-1 mRNA of two groups after partial hepatectomy were increased firstly and then decreased. The expression of HAI-1 mRNA in cirrhotic rats was sustained higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), there was no significant difference between the two groups of the expression of HAI-2 mRNA (P>0.05). The expression of HAI-1 mRNA in liver cirrhosis rats after resection was consistently higher than that in healthy rats, which may lead to the insufficient synthesis and secretion of hepatocyte growth factor activator in cirrhotic rats, then hepatocyte growth factor precursor may not be activated enough, eventual y leading to slow liver regeneration. HAI-2 may not be involved in the wound repair process of liver.

Objective To investigate the clinical role of central venous pressure(CVP) to evaluate fluid responsiveness in septic shock patients. Methods 66 septic shock patients were studied, every patient was administered a volume challenge, before and after it, CVP, intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI),global end-diastolic volume index(GEDVI), cardiac index(CI), stroke volume index(SVI) were measured by PiCCO method. All the obtained values were analyzed by statistics method. Results Initial CVP in responders is significantly different from that in nonresponders; △ITBVI, △GEDVI, △CI, △SVI, △HR (△:changes) before and after volume challenge in responders were significantly different from those in nonresponders; the significance of △ITBVI, AGEDVI to predict volume responsiveness was strong indicated by high values of areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (0.674 and 0.700, respectively).If patients were regrouped by CVP≤11 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) and CVP > 11 mm Hg, initial ITBVI and GEDVI in responders were not significantly different from that in nonresponders; △ITBVI,△GEDVI, △CI, △SVI before and after volume challenge in responders were significantly different from those in nom'esponders. Conclusion In septic shock patients, CVP play a guidance role to predict and evaluate volume responsiveness and when CVP was > 11 nun Hg, a positive response will be less likely. Initial volumetric parameters(intrathoracic blood volume and global end-diastolic volume) play a questionable role in predicting and evaluating volume responsiveness, changes before and after volume challenge maybe helpful.

Objective To compare the treatment effects between lymphatic chemotherapy and regional extended release chemotherapy (RERC) for rectal cancer lymph node metastasis. Methods The lymph nodes at or beside colon (first station), beside (second station) and at the root of mesentery blood vessel (third station) of the patients with rectal cancer in control group (20 cases), lymphatic chemotherapy group (20 cases) and RERC group (20 cases) were removed to compare proliferation index (PI), apoptotic index (AI) and AL/PI of cancer cells in the lymph nodes. Results The PI, AI, and AI/PI of cancer cells in correspondent lymph nodes were not statistically different between lymphatic chemotherapy group and the other 2 groups (F=4.973-7.394, 5.372-8.694, 4.527-5.436, P<0.05; t=3.128-7.688, 3.388-9.615, 6.518-13.180, P<0.05). The PI, AI, and AI/PI of cancer cells in the first and second station lymph nodes in RERC group were significantly different from those in control group (t=5.103, 4.927; 6.938, 6.450; 8.839, 9.021; P<0.05), and from those in the third station lymph nodes in RERC group (F=6.572, 8.964, 5.845, P<0.05; t=3.505, 3.353; 5.397, 4.701; 9.039, 8.629; P<0.05). Sorted by the treatment effects for cancer cells in lymph nodes, the first is each station of the lymphatic chemotherapy group, followed by the first and second station of the RERC group, and then the third station of the RERC group which was almost equal to any station of the control group. Conclusion Lymphatic chemotherapy is better than RERC in the treatment of rectal lymph node metastasis in the aspect of scale and degree.
