It is a consensus to place stent after cutting bile duct in the hepatobiliary surgery in the past.However,as the development of bile physiological research and surgical technique,especially the raise of medical concepts of rapid recovery,the negative effects which are caused by the placement of stent have been taken seriously gradually.Up to now,whether the stent should be placed after the bile duct is cut has no definite answer yet.

Objective To investigate the size distribution and change of plasma DNA in different gestational weeks between the normal and abnormal pregnancy.Methods Two methods were applied to measuring the lengths of different derived plasma DNA fragments.For the maternal derived DNA,GAPDH gene distribution of each DNA in size-fractionated fragment was assayed by real-time PCR after gel electrophoresis separation;for the fetal derived DNA,size distribution of SRY gene of fetal derived DNA was also determined by using a series of real-time PCR.Results Compared with that of matenal derived DNA,the fragment length of fetal derived DNA was mostly shorter than 300 bp.Compared with that in mid-pregnancy,plasma maternal derived DNA fragment distribution had no significant difference in late-pregnancy and in patients with high-risk of carrying a Down's child,whereas fetal derived DNA fragment was a bit longer.Conclusion The fragment length of fetal derived DNA is significantly longer than that of fetal one in maternal blood.Moreover,because of abnormal pregnancy and accompanied with the pregnancy progress,the number and physico-chemical property(fragment length,for example) of fetal derived DNA has a certain change.

Objective To investigate the proliferation of neural stem cells by subcutaneous injection of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF),epidermal growth factor (EGF)or combined bFGF and EGF respectively after transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats.Methods The right middle cerebral arteries(MCA) of rats were occluded for 2 h to establish transient focal cerebral ischemia model. bFGF, EGF,combined bFGF and EGF or vehicle were administered subcutaneously at 24, 48 and 72 h after MCA occlusion(MCAO).Thereafter,one administration every 3 d. Proliferating neural stem cells were labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (Brdu) immunohistochemically. Brdu-labeled cells were calculated to characterize neural stem cells in SVZ and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus at 7 d,14 d,21 d after MCAO.Results Brdu-labeled cells were detected in the bilateral SVZ and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus after MCAO in each group, the number of positive cells decreased progressively. Compared with the control group, the number of Brdu-labeled cells in treatment group increased significantly after treatment( P

Objective To explore the effect of human neural stem cells(hNSCs) transplantation to treat cerebral ischemic rats and the status of transplanted hNSCs in the ischemic brain tissue of these rats.Methods Human neural stem cells were separated from 10~13 weeks brains of human embryo and were cultured and induced to differentiate. The middle cerebral artery occlusion rat models were made and the human neural stem cells were transplanted through tail vein 1 day later. Neurological Severity Scores (NSS) tests were undertaken in two groups after transplantation. Immunohistochemistry was used to check the differentiation and migration of human neural stem cells in vitro and vivo.Results Neural stem cells from human embryonic brains had been successfully cultured. These cells formed typical neurospheres in suspension, and the majorities expressed nestin. Three weeks later, the neurological function of rats that received transplantation recovered much better than the rats without transplantation, as evidenced by NSS ( P

Objective:To investigate the effect of PBL+LBL double-track in long-term-system clinical medicine in Gynecology and Obstetrics.Methods:We divided the students of 2001-seven-year-progrems in random into two groups: trial group practiced PBL+LBL double-track teaching,control group practiced LBL teaching.Results The results showed that although the two groups had no significant difference in examinational total score and in foundational subjects,but the trial group had a significant higher score in comprehend subjects.The students exhibited great enthusiasm to the PBL.And the students learned and absorbed more knowledge of gynecology and obstetrics and literature retrieval.The education method played a comprehensive functional role for the teacher-directed and student-oriented tutorial process,and the teaching effects improved.Meanwhile,the teachers need to be prepared with more knowledge to meet the students query.Conclusions:PBL+LBL double-track teaching method can improve the students'activeness and can culture their ability of self-study;and at the same time the new teaching method can remain the systematicness,profundity and extent of knowledge.It is a better way in clinical education,and is well accepted by both students and teachers as it can greatly improve teaching efficacy.

Objective To explore the effect of human umbilical cord blood cells (HUCBCs) transplantation to treat cerebral ischemia of rats and the status of transplanted HUCBCs in the ischemic brain tissue of these rats. Methods The mononuclearcells abstracted from 60～100 ml of cord blood of full-term babies were cultured in vitro and marked with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (Brdu)(5 ?mol/L) for 2 days. The middle cerebral artery occlusion rat models were made and the HUCBCs (3?106) were transplanted into the lateral ventricular 1 day later. Neurological severity scores (NSS) tests were undertaken at different time point after transplantation, and iimmunohistochemistry method was used to check the migration and differentiation of HUCBCs. Results The HUCBCs had the capacity of proliferation in vitro and were induced to differentiate into astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons in vivo. 3 weeks later, the neurological function of rats that received transplantation recovered much better than the rats without transplantation, as evidenced by NSS (all P

Objective To screen stage\|specific expression genes of plerocercoid of Spirometra erinacei\|europaei. Methods RNA was extracted by the acid guanidinium thiocyanate\|phenol\|chloroform from plerocercoid and adult worm of Spirometra erinacei\|europaei. Contaminated DNA in the RNA was digested by RNase\|free DNase. cDNA was synthesized by using T\-\{12\}MA, T\-\{12\}MC, T\-\{12\}MG and T\-\{12\}MT primers, and PCR was then done using the same T\-\{12\}MN and one random primers. The PCR products were fractionated on 8% denatured polyacrylamide gel, differential bands of plerocercoid found in the gel were cut out, amplified by PCR and sequenced after the gel was dried out and autoradiographed. Northern hybridization was conducted to identify the stage\|specific expression genes. Results Eleven differential bands were selected from the gel and classified into 3 kinds of gene fragments by hybridization after they were amplified by PCR. The fragments 1 and 2 were confirmed to express specifically in plerocercoid by Northern hybridization, but the fragment 3 was expressed in both plerocercoid and adult worm. When the 3 gene fragments were homologically analyzed in GenBank, the sequence which was homologous with the fragments 1 and 2 was not found, but the fragment 3 had high homology with many kinds of 28S rRNA. Conclusion The gene expression of plerocercoid was different from that of adult worm probably because they live in different hosts. Two kinds of different gene fragments in plerocercoid were identified by mRNA differential display technique.

Objective　To study the causes and management of the reoperation after cholangiointestiostomy(CIS). Methods　A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 28 cases of reoperation after CIS from June 1995 to June 1999. Results　Among the 28 cases, 26 cases(92%) had CIS anastomotic stenosis. Of the 26 cases, 9 cases accompanied with left hepatobiliary duct stenosis, 3 cases with right hepatobiliary duct stenosis, 5 cases with left and right hepatobiliary ducts stenosis. 9 cases with biliary reflux comfirmed by barium meal radiography, all of the 9 cases were subjected to a choleduodenostomy. Of the 28 patients, 3 underwent reanastomose after excision the primary anstomosis, 8 operated with hilar bile duct reform and left lateral hepatolobectomy, 2 with left hepatic duct jejunostomy and hilar bile duct jejunostomy. 15 cases with intrahepatic bile duct jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis, after resolved the intrahepatic bile duct stenosis. Conclusions　The basic cause of reoperation after CIS is anastomotic stenosis, the other causes are as follows: the selected operation is unsuitable, the intrahepatic bile duct stenosis is not resolved, and the stonedoes not clean out completly. When reoperation is performed on these cases, the following principles must be abided by: romoving all the stones, resolving the stenosis, making a clear drainage; and performing hepatic lobectomy, anastomotic sustaining and drainage, and cholefibroscopic management must be done if needed.

It has been suggested that progression of bladder transitional cell cancer (BTCC) may be regulated at the molecular level by a typical pattern of expression of genes involved in apoptosis. Recently Livin, belonging to the inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) family, has been found to be expressed in most solid tumors, where its expression is suggested to have clinical significance. In order to explore the significance of Livin expression in the development of BTCC, immunohistochemistry and RT-QPCR were used to detect the expression of Livin mRNA in tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues of 30 cases of BTCC. The results showed that the positive rate of Livin expression in adjacent normal tissues and tumor tissues was 0 and 60% (18/30) respectively. The-DeltaDeltaCT value of Livin in BTCC tissues was 8.0454 (7.4264-8.6644) times of that in adjacent normal tissues. The expression of Livin mRNA had no correlation with tumor pathological grades and clinical stages. It was suggested that there was weak expression of Livin mRNA in adjacent normal tissues, but strong in tumor tissues.

AIM: To observe the effect of ginkgolide B (CB) on the intracellular calcium ion concentration ( [ Ca~(2+) ]_i) and mitochondrial function of cultured rat retinal neurons in vitro. METHODS: in vitro primary culture of rat retinal neurons was used in the experiment. The apoptosis model of glutamate - induced retinal neurons was established and co - cultured with ginkgolide B. The [ Ca~(2+) ]_i and mitochondrial membrane potential of the retinal neurons were detected by laser scanning confocal microscope. RESULTS: Glutamate decreased the survival rate of retinal neurons, increased the apoptosis and the [ Ca~(2+) ]_i, lowered the mitochondrial membrane potential. The [ Ca~(2+) ]_i was clearly diminished and the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly increased with the GB intervention, and the apoptosis decreased significantly. CONCLUSION: GB protects retinal neurons from glutamate induced neurotoxicity. The effect of GB on retinal neurons might be due to its ability to decrease the [Ca~(2+) ]_i and increase mitochondrial membrane potential.
