Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy via Glissonean pedicle transection approach.Methods The clinical data of 68 patients who underwent laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy by Glissonean pedicle transection approach at the Southwest Hospital of Third Military Medical University between March 2009 and December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients received intravenous-inhalation general anesthesia.The splitting of liver was carried out after Glissonean pedicles were completely dissected and occluded under the laparoscope according to anatomical structure.The patients with hepatolithiasis underwent intraoperative bile duct exploration and stone removal with T-tube placement based on the conditions of extrahepatic biliary lesions.The fragmented specimens from benign lesions of liver were taken out through a Trocar hole with the diameter of 12mm.The complete specimens from malignancy tumors of liver were taken out through an enlarged Trocar hole or transverse incision at the symphysis pubis.According to the recheck results of benign and malignancy lesions,the patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview till September 2014.The measurement data with normal distribution were presented as (x) ± s.The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method.Results Among the 68 patients,laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy via Glissonean pedicle transection approach was performed on 64 patients and 4 patients were coverted to open surgery.Laparoscopic anatomical left hemihepatectomy was performed on 30 patients,anatomical right hemihepatectomy on 19 patients,anatomical right posterior lobectomy on 10 patients and anatomical right anterior lobectomy on 9 patients.The mean operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,rate of perioperative blood transfusion,time of postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery and duration of hospital stay were (224 ± 117)minutes,(413 ± 349) mL,5.9％ (4/68),(3.0 ± 0.5) days and (8.0 ± 3.0) days,respectively.There was no perioperative death,and 6 patients with postoperative complication were cured by symptomatic treatment.The tumor diameter and distance to resection margin in 29 patients with malignancy tumors of liver were (4.4 ± 1.6) cm and (2.0 ± 0.9)cm,respectively.The results of pathological examination showed that hepatolithiasis was detected in 22 patients,cavernous hemangioma of liver in 12 patients,hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia in 1 patient,hepatic adenoma in 1 patient,hepatic angiomyolipoma in 1 patient,hepatic multiple cysts in 1 patient,hepatic tuberculosis in 1 patient,hepatocellular carcinoma in 27 patients and cholangiocarcinoma in 2 patients.All the 68 patients were followed up for 6-60 months with a mean time of 24 months.No recurrence and residual stones or lesions in 39 patients with benign lesions of liver were detected during the follow-up.The 1-,3-,5-year overall survival rates and tumor-free survival rates in 29 patients with malignant tumors of liver were 92％,84％,60％ and 83％,59％,42％,respectively.Conclnsion Laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy via Glissonean pedicle transection approach is safe and feasible,and is suitable not only for left hemihepatectomy,but also for right hemihepatectomy of high technical specification.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory dermatosis with a variety of clinical manifestations and difficult to cure. Currently, many AD drug candidates have entered the research and development pipeline. In order to provide technical specifications for the clinical development of AD drugs, the Center for Drug Evaluation of National Medical Products Administration released the "Technical Guidelines for Clinical Trials of Drugs for AD Treatment" (Draft for Comments) in November 2022. Non-clinical pharmacodynamics evaluation is an important research before the drug enters clinical trials. Oxazolone (OXA)- and 2,4-dinitro-fluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced models are the most popular classical hapten-induced AD murine models, but variations of modeling are existing in the methods from different studies, including sensitization sites, haptens' dosages, the period of challenges, and the skin lesions severity evaluation as well. In this study, the investigation of OXA- and DNFB-induced AD murine models with various conditions of modeling was performed to compare the characteristics of hapten-induced AD murine models in the pathological process and severity according to the appearance of AD patients, and the guidance of pharmacodynamics evaluation of AD-therapeutic drugs in clinical trials as well, which may provide a proposal for AD treatment drug candidates in the non-clinical pharmacodynamics evaluation. All animal experiments were approved by the Animal Care & Welfare Committee of Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College (approval No.: 00007782 and 00007784).

Relapse, which puzzled several generations of hematologists, is the bottle-neck of radical treatment for leukemias. The progress of Human Microbiome Project at the beginning of 21st century suggested that human body was a super-organism constituted by the core of human cells and symbiotic microorganisms. The elucidation and characterization of endogenous retrovirus and prion protein suggested the possible effects of co-evolutional microorganisms on human health. Recently, the elucidation of the roles of tunneling nanotubes in intercellular communication and transportation suggested a novel way for cellular communication and transport of oncogenic materials. The role and significance of in vivo cell fusion have been studied in more detail. On the other hand, donor cell leukemia was reported. All of these approaches provide novel insights for studying the mechanism of leukemia relapse. Based on previous work, the authors suggest the hypothesis: there are two possible mechanisms for the relapse of leukemias: the minimal residual disease (MRD) and intercellular transportation of oncogenic materials.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of insulin glargine versus insulin detemir in the treat-ment of type 2 diabetes,and provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,EM-Base,Cochrane Library,CBM,CJFD,VIP and Wanfang database,randomized controlled trials (RCT) about the clinical efficacy and safety of insulin glargine versus insulin detemir in the treatment of type 2 diabetes were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.2 software after data extraction and quality evaluation by Cochrane 5.1.0. RESULTS:A total of 18 RCTs,in-volving 3 638 patients were included. Results of Meta-analysis showed there was no significant difference in reducing glycosylated hemoglobin[MD=0.08,95%CI (-0.01,0.17),P=0.09];fasting blood glucose level in insulin glargine group was significantly lower thaninsulin detemir,the difference was statistically significant [MD=0.15,95%CI(0.03,0.27),P=0.02]. And there was no significant difference in the incidence of hypoglycemia [OR=0.97,95%CI(0.91,1.03),P=0.25];the degree of body mass gain ininsulin detemir was significantly lower than insulin glargine group [MD=-0.95,95%CI(-1.06,-0.85),P=0.003],but the in-cidence of injection site reactions was significantly higher than insulin glargine group [OR=2.28,95%CI(1.16,4.50),P=0.02],the differences were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS:The insulin glargine has better efficacy,than insulin detemir with lower incidence of injection site reactions but higher degree of body mass gain than insulin detemir in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic left hepatectomy in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted in clinical data of left hepatectomy from 2007 to 2014,including 47 cases of laparoscopic hepatectomy and 46 cases of open hepatectomy. The intraoperative and postoperative data of the two surgical methods were compared to evalu-ate whether laparoscopic left hepatectomy is safe and feasible. Results The tumor size were bigger in the open hepatectomy [(56. 57 ± 24. 56) mm vs. (64. 11 ± 33. 39) mm,P=0. 218]. The laparoscopic left hepatectomy resulted in shorter operation time [(217. 53 ± 60. 22) min vs.(306.80±119.91)min],andtherewasasignificantlydifference(P<0.05).Theintraoperativebloodlosswerelesserinthelaparo-scopic left hepatectomy [(350. 21 ± 197. 98) mL vs. (556. 74 ± 471. 41) mL],and there was a significantly difference (P<0. 05). The lap-aroscopic left hepatectomy had a smaller intraoperative blood transfusion rate (12. 8% vs. 32. 6%,P<0. 05). The length of ICU stay,time for gastroentestinal function recovery, postopetative hospital stay were shorter than those of open left hepatectomy (P<0. 05). There was no significant difference of postoperative complication rate between them (14. 9% vs. 23. 9%,P=0. 271). The survival rates of 1-and 3-year after operation in patients with laparoscopic left hepatectomy were 91. 5% and 83. 0% respectively,while 84. 8% and 76. 1% in patients un-derwent open hepatectomy. The tumor-free survival rates 1-and 3-year after operation were 74. 5% and 59. 6% in patients with laparoscopic left hepatectomy respectively,while 65. 2% and 54. 3% in patients underwent open hepatectomy. Conclusion Laparoscopic left hepatectomy for primary hepatic carcinoma is safe and feasible. Laparoscopic left hepatectomy could be a consideration as the standard surgical methods for hepatic carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic effects of treatment of giant cell tumor of axis by tumor resection associated with biological reconstruction and internal fixation.Methods From 2009 to 2013,5 patients that had giant cell tumor of axis underwent combined anterior and posterior surgery program.The posterior use pedicle screw system to stabilize the cervical spine,then the anterior use stemocleidomastoid inner edge of the mandibular angle approach to reveal the axis.When the cortex of vertebrae was relatively complete,.When the cortical bone was destroyed,vertebra was resected and the ilium was taken to reconstruct the defect.Adjuvant radiotherapy and diphosphate treatment was used postoperatively.Regular follow-up for X-ray,3D CT and MRI examination were done to observe the tumor recurrence,healing of biological reconstruction and function of cervical vertebra.Results The follow-up time was 12-60 months.No recurrence of the tumor was observed in all patients.The 3 patients accepted beta-TCP implanting after curettage was observed with fuzzy internal structure 3 months after surgery,and the grafted bone fusion can be found 12 months after surgery.The 2 ilium grafted patients can be found with bone fusion with the adjacent vertebrae 6 months after surgery.The bend and stretch function of cervical vertebrae of the 5 patients returned to normal after 3months.The biological healing of bone graft,cervical stability and activity were satisfied.The local pain and neurological symptoms were relieved.Conclusion Anterior and posterior surgery program in combination with biological reconstruction and adjuvant radiotherapy provide an excellent option for treatment of giant cell tumor of axis.The dens could be retained to keep the function of occipital cervical when the odontoid bone cortex is not destructed.

Objective To investigate certain risk factors for and their impact on abnormal liver function in middle-aged and elderly adults.Methods A case-control study was constructed based on the SAGE cohort of 8642 registered residents aged 50 years or over in Shanghai.Of them,137 individuals with abnormal liver function,defined as aspartate transaminase (AST)＞ 40 U/L or alanine aminotransferase (ALT)＞ 40 U/L,were randomly selected as the observation group,while 411 healthy controls were 3 ∶ 1 matched with the cases in the observation group by gender and age (1 year).Face-to-face administered questionnaires and physical examinations were conducted and serum samples were tested for ALT,AST,glucose (GLU),total cholesterol (TC),triglycreide (TG),hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) and anti-hepatitis C virus antibody (anti-HCV Ab).Chi square test and rank sum test were used for single factor analysis,and logistic regression analysis was used for multiple factors.Results The prevalence of HBsAg positive patients was 12.4 ％ (68/548) Univariate analysis showed that hepatitis virus infection and body mass index (BMI) were associated with abnormal liver function (both P＜0.000).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hepatitis virus infection (OR=1.85,95％ CI:1.04 3.29,P-0.036) and obesity (OR=3.60,95％CI:1.92-6.73,P＜0.001) increased the risk of abnormal liver function,whereas chronic medication (OR=0.51,95％ CI:0.32-0.80,P =0.004) decreased the risk of abnormal liver function.Conclusions Among the study population,hepatitis virus infection and obesity are risk factors for abnormal liver function in middle-aged and elderly people.After adjustment for potential confounders,chronic medication is negatively correlated with abnormal liver function and may be a protective factor for liver function.
