Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2010;16(6):410-412
Objective To investigate the feasibility of segmental splenectomy for treatment of splenic benign tumor. Methods The clinical data of 6 patients with splenic benign tumor treated in our hospital with spleen-preserving surgery in the past 2 years were retrospectively analyzed. Results All the 6 patients successfully underwent surgery and recovered smoothly after operation. No acute severe infection occurred. Ultrasonography showed that the blood supply of residual spleen was of no problem. The components of peripheral blood had no significant changes after operation. Conclusion As long as we know the vascular anatomy of spleen well, segmental splenectomy is safe, reliable and feasible.

Objective: To investigate the effect of the dosageof chemotherapeutic agent on tumor chemotherapy linked with biotherapy and provide experimentalevidence for the dose choice of chemical drugs in the combination of chemotherapy and biotherapy.Methods: The high- and low-dosage of MMC was determined by injection of mice with different dosages of MMC. Mice inoculated with H22 hepatic carcinoma cells were treated with different dosages of MMC followed by three different kinds of biotherapy: transfection with plasmid pCH510 in vivo, immunization with Hsp70-tumor antigen peptide complexes and the combination of these two elements. Results: By toxicity test of MMC to mice, it was determined that 100 ?g of MMC was high dosage and 50 ?g was low dosage. The curative effect was significantly improved if chemotherapy was followed by different elements of biotherapy. Better efficacy was obtained when biotherapy elements were used to follow the chemotherapy with high dosage of MMC. In the case of low dosage of MMC, no difference could be observed in curative effect of three different kinds of biotherapy. When high dosage of MMC was used, the curative effect of three different kinds of biotherapy was signiferently different. The best efficacy was obtained if chemotherapy was followed by the combination of two biotherapy elements, transfection with plasmid pCH510 in vivo and immunization with Hsp70-tumor antigen peptide complexes. Conclusions: Using different chemical dosages, the curative effect of chemotherapy linked with biotherapy is different. In the case of high dose, the chemotherapy linking with biotherapy can reach more better efficacy.

Objective: To invistigate the relationship between time and efficacy of the linkage of tumor biotherapy after chemotherapy by studying the influence of chemotherapeutic drugs on immunocytes.Methods: The cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs to tumor cells, mouse peritoneal macrophages and spleen lymphocytes was observed by cell culture technique. The influence of chemotherapeutic drugs to the metabolism and activation of macrophages and lymphocytes at different time after peritoneal injection of drugs was observed. The mice were inoculated with tumor cells two days after the injection of drugs, and the growth of tumor was measured 14 days after inoculation by anatomizing mice. Results: Chemotherapeutic drugs had cytotoxicity in vitro to different cells, suppressed the function of immunocytes, and decreased the number of immunocytes in vivo. After injection of drugs, the number of immunocytes was the lowest on the third day and recovered to the nomal level on the 10th day. If drugs was injected two days before the inoculation of tumor cells, the growth of tumor became faster than control group. Conclusions: Chemotherapy not only decreases the number of immunocytes but also suppresses the function of immunocytes, and it can promote the growth of tumor after its cytotoxicity disappeared. So it is not good that biotherapy, which depends on immunocyte to kill tumor cells, is used immediately after chemotherapy and it is also not good for using biotherapy with a long interval after chemotherapy . It is good time to use biotherapy when the number of immunocytes is lowest or the recovery just starts.

Objective To study the changes in the endothelial reserve capacity to release tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and nitric oxide (NO) and its relation to vasodilation and to diabetic angiopathy. Methods The capacity of vascular endothelium to release tPA and NO was examined by venous occlusion of the upper arm. Brachial artery diameter was measured at baseline, during postocclusion reactive hyperemia (flow-mediated endothelium-dependent), and after sublingual nitroglycerol administration (endothelium-independent), using a high resolution ultrasound technique in 15 control subjects and 23 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Vasodilation was expressed as the percentage change relative to the baseline diameter, while endothelial tPA and NO release was expressed as the percentage change relative to the baseline tPA and NO levels. Thickness of the intima of carotid artery was measured using ultrasound imaging. Results There was no significant difference in endothelium-independent vasodilation between control subjects and diabetics. However, significant reductions in endothelium-dependent vasodilation (P

Objective To assess the clinical efficacy of fluoroscopically-guided percutaneous cholecystostomy in the treatment of severe acute cholecystitis and to summarize the experience in clinical practice. Methods During the period of Jan. 2006 -Dec. 2008,fluoroscopically-guided percutaneous cholecystostomy was performed in 31 patients with severe acute cholecystitis. The therapeutic results were evaluated by comparing the pre-operative and post-operative laboratory findings and clinical manifestations. Results The procedure of puncture and drainage-tube placement was successfully accomplished in all 31 cases without any complications. One patient with acute renal failure died after the procedure,the remaining 30 patients showed obvious alleviation of symptoms and were discharged with retention of the indwelling drainage-tube. Selective cholecystectomy was carried out in 16 patients with lithic cholecystitis in 1-3 months after percutaneous cholecystostomy. Living with retention of indwelling drainage-tube was chosen by eight patients with lithic cholecystitis. The drainage-tube was extracted in 6 patients with non-lithic cholecystitis in 3-6 weeks after the cholecystitis was cured. Conclusion Fluoroscopically-guided percutaneous cholecystostomy is technically-simple,minimally-invasive and highly-safe treatment for severe acute cholecystitis,it may be regarded as an effective transitive,or even permanent therapy.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of peripheral lymph node addressin(PNAd)andGlcNAc-6-sulfotransferase(GlcNAc6ST)in endometrium and their impacts on implantation.Methods:PNAd expression in endometrium was examined by immunohistochemistry and Western Blot from 75women(12 from healthy women,in proliferative phase;63 from sterile women,of whom,27 were inearly-secretory and 36 in mid-secretory phase).GlcNAc6ST mRNA was examined by real-time PCR in41 sterile women.The 63 sterile women had underwent ⅣF-ET and were consequently divided into clini-cal pregnant(29 cases)and nonpregnant(34 cases)groups.Results:(1)PNAd localized to the mem-brane and cytoplasm of luminal and glandular epithelia.Staining was patchy and much less intense duringthe proliferative phase than during the secretory phase.In Western Blot of PNAd,four bands appeared,which were Sgp200,CD34,MAdCAM-1,GlyCAM-1 respectively,and each was positively correlatedwith the others significantly.The former three molecular levels were significantly higher during the secre-tory phase as compared with the proliferative phase.Message RNA of GlcNAe6ST was positive in all ca-ses and showed no correlation with any component of PNAd.(2)The expressions of CD34 and GlyCAM-1,but not Sgp200 and MAdCAM-1,were significantly higher in pregnant women than in nonpregnantones.However,the GlcNAc6ST mRNA level did not differ between groups.(3)No significant differ-ence was found in female age,methods of fertilization,thickness of endometrium on day hCG,cumulativeembryo score(CES)and mean score of transferred embryo(MSTE)between the groups.Conclusion:PNAd expression in the human endometrium fluctuates with the menstrual cycle.Elevated CD34 and Gly-CAM-1 during the secretory phase might be stimulative factors for embryo implantation.Defect in PNAdexpression may account for a portion of unexplained infertility.
