Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of total laparoscopic hepatectomy for liver neoplasms.Methods Laparoscopic hepatectomy in 15 patients with liver neoplasms were completed by combined application of ultrasound scalpel,Ligasure and vascular clip without blockage of liver blood flow,including 9 cases of hepatic cavernous hemangioma,whose diameters were from 5.0 cm to 15.0 cm,3 cases of hepatic cyst with fibrosis,located in left lateral hepatic lobe,3 cases of primary hepatic carcinoma,whose diameters were from 1.0 cm to 5.0 cm and the hepatic functions were all Child A.Results Laparoscopic hepatectomy was completed successfully in all 15 cases with no conversion to open laparotomy,including 6 cases of left lateral hepatectomy,9 cases of irregular hepatectomy.The mean operative time was 110 min,blood loss during operation was from 30 ml to 500 ml,the average was 251 ml.The mean postoperative hospital stay was 6.5 d.The mortality rate was 0%.No severe complications occurred except 1 case of small amount bleeding which stopped itself.Conclusion Total laparoscopic hepatectomy is a feasible,safe and minimal invasive approach for patients with liver neoplasms within segment Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳa、Ⅴ、 and Ⅵ.

Objective To explore the indications,surgical techniques and clinical effects of laparoscopic splenectomy on patients with portal hypertension. Methods Analysis the clinical data of 32 patients of portal hypertenision with laparoscopic splenectomy and open splenectomy from March 2006 until June 2009. Results The effectiveness of the procedures for portal hypertension was evaluated.Among 16 patients with LS, 2 patients were converted to open surgery. There is no significant difference with operatative time, blood loss and hospital fees between the two groups, the laparoscpy group had the shorter mean hospitalization, fasting and draining time. Conclusions If there are enough preparation preoperation, skillful laparoscopic technique and micromesh manipulation during operation,laparoscopic splenectomy is a minimally invasive and safe technique in the patients with lower-grade to medium varicose veins.

[Abstract ] Objective C reactive protein (CRP), an in-flammatory maker, increased significantly among diabetes mellitus and other metabolic diseases.Meanwhile, adiponectin plays a vital role in anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic poten-tials.Further, it decreased in diabetes mellitus.To investigate the effects of C-reactive protein in the expression of high-molecular-weight adiponectin ( HMWA) and adiponectin multimerization. Methods The fully differentiated 3T3-L1 cells were respectively treated with 50μg/mL CRP for 0 h、6 h、12 h and 24 h , and different doses of CRP with 0μg/mL、5μg/mL、25μg/mL、50μg/mL for 24 h.The expres-sion of HMWA was further detected by Western blot.Additionally,
the mRNA expressions of adiponectin assembly related genes ( Ero1-L、DsbA-L、ERp44 ) were detected by Real time PCR after 50μg/mL CRP treatment for 24 h. Results After 24 h treatment, 25μg/mL CRP and 50μg/mL CRP resulted in a substantial reduction ( [70 ±7]%vs [44 ±7]%, P<0.05) while 5μg/mL CRP revealed no change.With the dose of 50μg/mL CRP treated, the ex-pression of HWMA were both inhibited after the 12 h and 24 h CRP treatment ([71 ±6]%vs [48 ±11]%, P<0.05), but for the 6 h CRP treatment group, HWMA remained unchanged.Additionally, CRP inhibited Ero1-L(86 ±10)%and DsbA-L(72 ±6)%gene expression and upregulated the expression of ERp44(141 ±23)%. Conclusion CRP decreases HMWA expression in a dose and time-dependent manner and inhibits the multimerization of adiponectin, thus weaken the benefits of adiponectin in diabetes.

Objective To compare the effect of naive porto-azygous devascularization and that as a remedy therapy after a failed endoscopy for the treatment of bleeding portal hypertension.Method From June 2005 to June 2010,230 portal hypertension patients were treated with porto-azygous devascularization,among them,202 cases were of portal hypertensive cirrhotics,28 cases of alcoholic cirrhosis.Group A (16 patients)received remedial porto-azygous devascularization after endoscopic treatment failed (esophageal variceal ligation,esophageal variceal selerotherapy).Group B(214 patients)received naive porto-azygous devascularization.Results The average operation time in group A was 198 min(115-335)min,mean bleeding amount was 750 ml(300-2000)ml,average post-operative hospital stay was 11 days (8-15)days.The average operation time in group B was 120 min(90-190)min,mean blood loss was 250 ml(150-500)ml,average post-operative hospital stay was 7 days(6-9)days.The average operation time,bleeding amount and post-operative hospital stay was significantly different between the two groups (P＜ 0.05).212(92.2％)patients were followed up,and the mean follow-up time was 2.5 years (1-6)years,mortality rate was 4.2％,rebleeding rate was 5.7％.Conclusions Surrounding the perioesophageal and gastric tissues were fibrotic and hard after the endoscopic treatment,this significantly increased the difficulty of surgery,therefore,porto-azygous devascularization is the choice of therapy for portal hypertension patients.

Objective To summarize the clinical applications and surgical technique of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP). Method The clinical data of 10 cases of pancreatic body and tail tumors undergoing laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy were retrospectively analyzed.Results Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) was successfully undertaken in 8 cases (including spleen preserving distal pancreatectomy in one case ). Intraoperatively two cases were converted to open surgery because of peripancreatic organs involvement by cancer in one case and massive bleeding in another case during laparoscopic procedures. The average operation time of LDP was 141 ± 35 min (95 -195 min),mean blood loss was 263 ± 151 ml( 100 -600 ml), average postoperative hospital stay was 7 ± 1 days (5 -9 days ). There was no major postoperative complications and no mortality. Final pathology was solid psedopapillary tumor in 4 cases, mucinous cystadenoma in 3 cases and islet cell tumor in 1 case, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in 2 cases, hence 80% of tumors were benign. Conclusions LDP is indicated for benign body and tail pancreatic tumors and early malignant tumor of pancreatic body and tail. Being less traumatic, and fewer complications, LDP is a safe, effective and minimally invasive therapy.

Objective A successful salvage treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after liver transplantation(OLT) with prognosis of immune tolerance was reported and the treatment experience was summed up.Methods A 46-year-old man with hepatic carcinoma recurrence after resection underwent OLT from an ABO-identical male donor after cardiac death due to brain death.Post-transplant immunosuppression regimens consisted of induction with anti-interleukin-2 receptor monoclonal antibody (basiliximab) followed by maintenance with tacrolimus,mycophenolate mofetil and low dose of steroids.On the postoperative day (POD) 20,the patient developed skin rashes on his limbs and trunk,and skin biopsy showed histological features consistent with acute GHVD.Donor-recipient dominant HLA was matched at 6 loci,with donor CD3 + T-cell chimerism positive Results Immunosuppressants were withdrawn.Basilixirnab combined with high dose of steroids was used,and the dosage was quickly reduced.Anti-irnfection treatment was strengthened.The skin rash recovered quickly,while the hemogram was significantly decreased,which was insensitive to colony stimulating factor.The fever came back with the skin rash on the POD 46.The modified hormone regimen was used,low dose of steroids with slowly reduction,and the patient recovered with the normal hepatic function.Conclsion With the untypical clinical presentation,pathological examination,HLA-matching and chimerisms,aGVHD could be early detected and diagnosed,with a therapy of low dose of steroids with slow reduction combined with basiliximab.Recipient achieved immune tolerance,which may result from the high match of HLA and chimerisms.

The resource of rare and endangered medicinal plant Swertia mussotii Franch. in Tibet, Qinghai and Sichuan province were surveyed by ways of documents, interview, quadrat and market investigation. The results indi-cated that Swertia mussotii Franch. mainly distributed in Zuogong and Mangkang of Tibet, Yushu of Qinghai province, Shiqu, Daofu, Kangding, Maerkang, Jinchuan and Xiaojin of Sichuan province. According to the height above sea level, the distribution altitude was from 2 300 m (Kangding of Sichuan province) to 3 900 m (Mangkang of Tibet). There are distributions of Swertia mussotii Franch. within the scope of 2 600 m. The illumination, water, soil, temperature and altitude had significant influence on the distribution, growth and reserve of Swertia mussotii Franch. from different angles. In recent years, there was huge increase of market requirement in Swertia mussotii Franch. which were used in Tibetan medicine Zangyinc he n. Excess collection was the primary cause of rapid decreasing in resource of Swertia mussotii Franch.. It was suggested to strengthen the management of rational collection, as well as to accelerate the development of cultivation and production.

The fourth time national survey of Chinese materia medica (CMM) was used. The quadrat survey contained recording on species and amounts of plants, collection of specimens and CMM. The weight of main medicinal plant was measured. The quadrat numbers were calculated on regions, plant species and sea level of samples from different regions. There were 703 species of medicinal plants. The 143 species of main medicinal plants, which occupied to 74.5% in main medicinal plants in Chongqing, belonged to 71 families and 132 genera. There were 128 species of wild main medicinal plants. The 30 species of main medicinal plants were cultivated (including 15 species of both wild and cultivated medicinal plants). Among them, 14 species were in large-scale cultivation. This investigation helped the understanding of present situation of medicinal species distribution in Chengkou County, the habitats of wild medicinal plants, and the resources reserves, which provided references for the continuous development of Chinese herbal medicine resources.

Objective To investigate the influence of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) on cardiac output (CO) value and parameters of hemodynamics monitored by transpulmonary thermodilution technique in critical patients. Methods A prospective cohort study was conduced. Sixty-two critical patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Zunyi Medical College Affiliated Hospital from January 2011 to October 2015 were enrolled. All of the patients received CVVH through femoral vein puncture catheter. The CO value was monitored before CVVH operation, immediately after CVVH operation (8 ℃ normal saline was injected immediately after the output of blood from the arterial end), 5 minutes after operation, the time at the sudden interruption (press pause key after 10 minutes of operation) and resumed immediately, 15 minutes and 30 minutes after operation by pulse-indicated continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) with transpulmonary thermodilution method. The changes in heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), and blood temperature were observed at all time points. Results From CVVH before start to 5 minutes thereafter, CO values were not significantly changed in patients, fluctuating in 6.96 (7.33, 8.67)-6.98 (6.43, 7.45) L/min. When CVVH was suddenly interrupted, CO value was immediately increased to the peak 8.04 (7.36, 8.77) L/min, which showed statistically significant difference as compared with other time points (all P < 0.01). Immediately after the CVVH recovery from interruption, the CO value dropped to 4.71 (4.14, 7.26) L/min, and it was significantly lower than those at other time points (all P < 0.01). With the CVVH recovery, the patients' CO value was gradually restored to the stable operation ahead of interruption [4.71 (4.14, 7.26)-6.85 (6.08, 7.26) L/min]. During CO monitoring, HR, MAP, CVP and blood temperature of the patients were at the same level, and no significant changes were founded. Conclusions CVVH interruption of immediate PiCCO monitoring CO value were significantly increased, immediately after the CVVH recovery the CO value were significantly reduced, and the normal operation of CVVH did not affect the CO value monitoring. Hemodynamics and blood temperature of all patients were stable during CVVH.
