Objective To investigate the primary target of injury resulting from cold preservation/reperfusion after liver transplantation in rats. Methods Male SD rats were divided into three groups randomly: sham group,UW 1-h group and UW 12-h group. Orthotopic liver transplantation was performed by using the technique described by Kamada with a modification. Survival rate of rats within 168 h postoperation was observed. Liver tissue specimens and blood samples were collected at 8 time points predetermined as 1,6,12,24,48,72,96 and 168 h postoperation. Six animals were used per time-point. The liver function was evaluated by serum ALT,AST and HA levels. Morphology was observed under light microscopy and TEM. Additionally,the incidence of apoptosis (AI) in hepatocytes and sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) were measured separately by TUNEL method.Results The survival rate at 168 h in UW 12-h group was 50 %,significantly lower than that in UW 1-h group (F= 6.39 ,P

Objective To characterize molecule profiling for hypoxia/hypothermia-conditioned human endothelial cells(EC),and to examine the hypothesis that the interaction between hypoxia/hy- pothermia-conditioned EC and monocytes plays a key role in early hypoxia/hypothermic reperfusion in- jury.Methods Human aortic EC were conditioned in hypoxia/hypothermia chamber at 4℃for 91) rain followed by 4 to 8 h re-warming at 37℃and then analyzed initially by RT-PCR to evaluate RNA transcripts.To examine early cellular interactions,a cellular adhesion study was performed using EC and fluorescence-conjugated DIO labeled purified human monocytes,and CD4~+ T cells as well as PB- MC.Interactions between PKH-26-labeled EC and these cells were carried out to determine EC mem- brane uptake by monocytes.Results RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that hypoxia/hypothermia-con- ditioned EC up-regulated RNA transcripts of inflammatory cytokines,ECE-1 and endothelin,co-stim- ulatory molecules,and adhesion molecules CD54.FACS showed minimal up-regulation of CD54 on hy- poxia-hypothermia-conditioned EC.Low level adhesion of purified CD4~+ T cells to resting and hypoxi- a/hypothermia-conditioned EC was noted.In contrast,high levels of monocyte adhesion to hypoxia/ hypothermia-conditioned EC were observed when compared to resting EC.EC membrane up-take by monocytes but not CD4~+ T cells was revealed by FACS,and the levels of EC membrane up-take were similar to those of the normal EC.Conclusions Hypoxia/hypothermia-conditioned EC demonstrated up-regulation of multiple RNA transcripts associated with inflammatory responses,cellular adhesion and co-stimulation.Human monocyte adhesion to hypoxia/hypothermia-conditioned EC was greater than T cells.Monocytes up-took EC membrane during their interaction.These findings suggest that the initial interaction between monocytes and hypoxia-hypothermia EC,but not T cells,may play a critical role during early reperfusion injury.

Objective:To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention program based on the concept of fast track surgery in early enteral nutrition tolerance and rehabilitation in patients with esopha geal cancer.Methods:93 selected patients were divided into the intervention group and the conventional control group according to the admission time.Patients in intervention group were treated with comprehensive intervention,and control group were given routine nursing care.Enteral nutrition intolerance incidence,the first time of bowel sounds,the first time exhaust and defecation and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:36 patients from 47 patients (76.60％) in the intervention group could tolerate the early feeding,while 24 patients from 46 patients (52.17％) in the control group could tolerate.There was significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The first time of exhaust,bowel sounds and defecation,and the hospitalization time of patients in the intervention group were better than that in the conventional control group (P ＜ 0.01).Incidence rate of incision infection,pulmonary infection and intestinal obstruction in patients of the comprehensive intervention group was lower than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Compared with the traditional treatment,the comprehensive intervention can effectively reduce the enteral nutrition intolerance incidence,promote the recovery,reduce hospitalization time and the incidence of postoperative complications,and improve the life quality of patients after surgery.

APOBEC3 is a class of cytidine deaminase, which is considered as a new member of the innate immune system, and APOBEC3G belongs to this family. The research about APOBEC3G is a new direction of innate immune defense mechanism against virus. APOBEC3G has the restrictive activity on many viral replications, which deaminates dC to dU in the viral genome and then induces extensive hypermutation. APOBEC3G can also interrupt viral replication at several phases such as reverse transcription, replication, nucleocapsid and so on by non-deamination mechanisms. However, virus can encode viral proteins to counteract the restriction activity of APOBEC3G. Elucidation of the antagonistic interaction between APOBEC3G and the virus will be contributed to development of new antiviral drugs in the future.

BACKGROUND:Intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection is a popular postoperative analgesia method and can effectively control postoperative pain and relieve side effects after total hip arthroplasty.
OBJECTIVE:To compare and assess the effectiveness and safety of intraarticular analgesic injection or intravenous injection of parecoxib after total hip arthroplasty.
METHODS:A total of 60 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty were randomly assigned to:treatment group (intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection with morphine, bupivacaine, and compound betamethasone), and control group (intravenous injection of parecoxib). Al patients received tramadol hydrochloride at 24 hours after replacement. Analgesic consumption, visual analog scale at rest and during activity, range of motion, and postoperative complication of patients in each group were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection significantly reduced analgesic consumption. When comparing visual analog scale scores, rest pain scores were significantly less in the treatment group at 12, 24 and 48 hours after replacement than that in the control group (P<0.05). Scores on range of motion were significantly less in the treatment group at 24 and 36 hours than that in the control group (P<0.05). No significant differences in total complications were detectable between the treatment and control groups (P>0.05). Results suggested that intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection lessened analgesic consumption after replacement, relieved early pain after replacement, and contributed to early rehabilitation of patients. Moreover, no significant adverse reactions were visible.
