Objective To explore the experience of diagnosis and surgical treatment of carotid body tumor.Methods A retrospective analysis between November 2008 and November 2015 was proceeded,the clinical data of surgical treatment for 81 patients with carotid body tumor was collected,to analyze data by SPSS19.0,and summarize the diagnosis of carotid body tumor,choice of operation methods and curative effect and complications prevention.Results Seventy-four cases underwent surgery treatment:tumors of 52 cases were simply stripped,tumors of 13 cases were resected combined with ligation of external carotid artery.Tumors of 7 cases were resected with internal and external carotid artery ligation,3 cases of whom underwent artificial blood vessel internal carotid artery end to end anastomosis.Postoperative death in 1 case of acute myocardial infarction,complicated with cerebral infarction in 2 cases,6 cases of injury of cranial nerve relieved after symptomatic treatment.No hemiplegia,aphasia and other serious complications.Tumor size and the surgery time correlation analysis:the correlation coefficient was 0.226,no significant correlation.Conclusions CTA is the most commonly used method of preoperative examination.Surgical resection is an effective method in treatment of carotid body tumor.Prevention injury of carotid artery cr internal carotid or common carotid artery and their reconstruction is the key to a successful operation.Sufficient preoperative assessment,select the appropriate operation method,intraoperative careful performance can ensure the cerebral perfusion,is the key to prevent and reduce the complications.

Objective:To explore the role of ductular reaction in assessing the efficacy of liver transplantation.Method:From January 2015 to December 2020, he relevant clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 100 recipients and their corresponding donors at Shulan (Hangzhou) Hospital. They were assigned into two groups of hepatic steatosis (HS group, 65 cases) and non-hepatic steatosis (non-HS group, 35 cases) according to whether or not receiving steatosis donated liver. Furthermore, based upon the occurrence of early allograft dysfunction (EAD), the participants were categorized into two groups of EAD (33 cases) and non-EAD (67 cases). The degree of bile duct reaction ductular reaction was defined by the percentage of staining area occupied by cytokeratin 19 (CK19) -positive bile duct cells in immunohistochemical-stained specimens. Donor of ductular reaction were compared between HS/non-HS and EAD/non-EAD groups. The risk factors for EAD were identified by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Subgroup analysis was conducted based upon the level of ductular reaction (DR number) in donors (DR=0.4 as a threshold) and whether or not donors exhibited steatosis. The impact of DR was examined on the incidence of EAD and survival post-liver transplantation in steatosis donors.Result:The level of DR was higher in steatosis donor than that in non-steatosis donor [ (0.59%±0.385%) vs. (0.32%±0.194%), P<0.01]. And it was higher in EAD group than that in non-EAD group [ (0.72%±0.449%) vs. (0.38%±0.226%), P<0.01]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a high level of ductular reaction was an independent risk factor for EAD post-liver transplantation in donor. Subgroup analysis revealed that receiving a steatosis donor with low ductular reaction (DR<0.4%) had comparable levels of EAD occurrence and overall survival rate to receiving a non-steatosis donor. Conclusion:Steatosis with low ductular reaction donor may be safely applied for liver transplantation. And assessing donor injury based upon ductular reaction can effectively expand the clinical application of steatosis donors.

In order to explore the morphological changes of Bovine Kidney (MDBK) cells induced by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) L protease, we induced the expression of FMDV L protease in bovine kidney cells (MDBK) artificially. All work is carried out on the basis of a stable MDBK cell line inducibly expresses the Lab gene under the control of tetracycline. We use cell morphology, Hoechst 33258 staining, AO-EB staining, and DNA Ladder abstraction to research the morphological changes of MDBK cells. 24 hours after FMDV L protease were induced and expressed in MDBK cells, cells shown the diminish of cell size, nuclear enrichment and the appearance of transparency circle under the light microscope. Apoptosis characteristics of nuclear condensation, fragmentation, accompanied by apoptotic bodies formation (Hoechst 33258 staining). 36 hours after the expression, nuclear staining of early lesions showed bright green plaque or debris-like dense, and advanced lesions showed Orange and dense plaques (AO-EB staining). 48 hours after the expression, DNA gel electrophoresis showed visible DNA ladder. Results indicate that FMDV L protease can induce apoptosis of MDBK and apoptosis plays an important role in the cytopathogenicity effect of FMDV.

Objective:
To investigate the protective effect of neurotrophic factor(MANF) derived from midbrain astrocytes on myocardial injury induced by sepsis by activating SIRT1/AMPK signaling pathway.
Methods:
48 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, recombinant mouse MANF(rmMANF) group, cecal ligation and puncture(CLP) group and CLP+rmMANF group, with 12 mice in each group.The survival rate, sepsis score, anal temperature, blood biochemical indexes, pathological indexes of myocardial injury and the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS) related proteins were detected 8 h after CLP.H9C2 cells were divided into control group(Con),LPS group, LPS+rmMANF group, LPS+rmMANF+EX527 group and LPS+rmMANF+Cpd C group.The cells were collected after 24 h treatment with LPS,and the expression of ERS protein and apoptosis in cells were analyzed.
Results:
Compared with CLP group, the sepsis score and serum Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),creatine kinase(CK),aspartateaminotransferase(AST) and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) levels in CLP+rmMANF group decreased significantly(P<0.01),and the anal temperature and serum albumin(ALB) levels increased significantly(P<0.05).Compared with CLP group, the expression of MANF in CLP+rmMANF group increased significantly(P<0.01),and the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP78),C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP) and the percentage of TUNEL positive cells decreased significantly(P<0.05).In vitro, LPS stimulation down-regulated the expression of SIRT1 and AMPK in H9C2 cells, while rmMANF further increased the expression level of SIRT1 and AMPK.Compared with LPS+rmMANF group, the expression of GRP78 and CHOP protein and the apoptosis rate of H9C2 cells in LPS+rmMANF+EX527 group and LPS+rmMANF+Cpd C group increased significantly(P<0.05).
Conclusion
rmMANF inhibits ERS related to sepsis-induced myocardial injury by activating SIRT1/AMPK signaling pathway, thereby protecting myocardial injury.
