Tendon healing following injury includes two forms, endogenous healing and exogenous healing. The ideal way ofpreventing adhesion of tendon is to improve the nutritional state and the surrounding environment of tendon so as to promote endogenous healing and restrain/ease exogenous healing. The normally-used method for preventing the adhesion includes:systemic or partial administration, protection and repair of tendinous sheath, substitution of tendinous sheath with autologous tissue or synthetic material, tendon transplantation, tendinous sheath reconstruction and so on, all of which do have some curative effects. However, recent research focus has come down to the degradable and absorbable polymeric biomaterials that can be used as barriers for preventing the adhesion. Besides, traditional Chinese medicine, rehabilitation therapy and early protected motion all can prevent the adhesion to some degree. In future, the tissue engineering tendon transplantation may become an investigative aspect. By using atreumatic technique and non-strangulated suture in the earlier period after tendon injury, warding and repairing tendinous sheath as much as possible as well as packaging the tendon with polymeric biomaterials during operation, and adopting combined therapy of rehabilitation therapy together with early protected motion after operation, we can prevent tendon adhesion obviously and have the gliding function of tendon recovered to the greatest extent.

An analytical method based on high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry has been developed for the simultaneous determination of 20 anti-obesity drugs ( fenfluramine, phenylpropanolamine, sibutramine, sertraline, rimonabant, bupropion, citalopram, fluoxetine, benfluorex, topiramate, zonisamide, caffeine, phenolphthalein, emodin, indapamide, bumetanide, torasemide, triamterene, orlistat, phenformin). that were extracted from various weight-loss functional foods by ethanol-acetone(7:3, V/V)and purified by primary secondary amine (PSA) and octadecyltrimethoxysilane(ODS) under ultrasonication. The analysis was carried out on HPLC-MS /MS by electrospray ionization using multiple reaction monitoring after the chromatographic separation on Waters Atlantis T3 (3 μm, 150 mm × 2. 1 mm) column. Identification was achieved by the retention time and the ion ratio, quantification was done by the external standard method. The limits of detection for the appetite suppressants were 0. 05-3. 0 mg/kg. The mean recoveries at the three spiked levels were 67 . 1%-101 . 4%, with the intra-day precision less than 10%and the inter-day precision less than 15%. The method is reliable, accurate, reproducible and suitable for the determination of the anti-obesity drugs in different weight-loss functional foods.

Objective:To explore the action mechanism of suppressing expression of mitogen- activated protein kinase 14（MAPK14）to alleviate glutamate excitatory toxicity and its neuronal protection effect.Methods:Lentivirus-mediated MAPK14 interference vector was synthetized by Shanghai Jikai Gene Chemical Technology Co.，Ltd. Astrocytes were obtained from SD rats 48 hours after birth，which were cultured in vitro and transfected by lentivirus-mediated transfection. According to the random number table，the cells were divided into three groups：（1）un-transfected group（normal group）with normal astrocytes and the cells were cultured in regular medium composed of Dulbecco's?modified Eagle's?medium（DMEM）；（2）negative control group with astrocytes transfected by MAPK14 no-loaded interference vector；（3）lentivirus transfected group with astrocytes transfected by MAPK14 interference vector. Seventy-two hours after transfection，astrocytes were co-cultured with neurons for 48 hours，and then they were cultured in a medium containing glutamate for 2 hours. The detection indexes included the optimal multiplicity of infection（MOI）value for astrocytes transfected by lentivirus vector，mRNA levels of MAPK14 and glial glutamate transporter 1（GLT-1）detected by rPCR 72 hours after transfection，protein levels of MAPK14 and GLT-1 detected by Western blot 72 hours after transfection，level of lactate dehydrogenase（LDH）and mortality of neurons measured by spectrophotometry and flow cytometry 2 hours after culturing in the medium with glutamate. Results:（1）The optimal MOI value for lentivirus transfecting astrocytes was 30，and astrocytes grew well after transfection.（2）Seventy-two after transfection，the mRNA level of MAPK14 in lentivirus transfected group（0.005 7±0.000 6）was significantly decreased as compared with un-transfected group（0.013 1±0.001 1）and negative control group（0.013 9±0.001 0）（ P<0.01），the mRNA level of GLT-1 in lentivirus transfected group（0.009 1±0.001 2）was not significantly changed as compared with un-transfected group（0.008 7±0.000 3）and negative control group（0.008 9±0.001 1）（ P>0.05）.（3）Seventy-two hours after transfection，the protein level of MAPK14 in lentivirus transfected group（0.29±0.04）was significantly decreased as compared with non-transfected group（0.61±0.05）and negative control group（0.63±0.01）（ P<0.01），the protein level of GLT-1 in lentivirus transfected group（0.73±0.06）was significantly increased as compared with un-transfected group（0.20±0.03）and negative control group（0.23±0.09）（ P<0.01）.（4）After astrocytes were co-cultured with neurons and subsequently cultured in the medium containing glutamate for 2 hours，the level of LDH in lentivirus transfected group［（109.67±2.40）U/L］was significantly lower than that in un-transfected group［（141.52±3.88）U/L］and negative control group［（141.29±3.61）U/L］（ P<0.01）. The mortality of neurons in lentivirus transfected group［（38.72±0.26）%］was significantly lower than that in un-transfected group［（52.94±1.36）%］and negative control group［（54.30±1.23）%］（ P<0.01）. Conclusions:The transfection with lentivirus-mediated MAPK14 interference vector can increase expression of GLT-1 in astrocytes to increase glutamate re-uptake and relieve the glutamate excitatory toxicity in neurons，which may provide a new experimental basis for future use of astrocyte gene regulation to alleviate neuronal injury caused by glutamate excitatory toxicity after traumatic brain injury.

Objective:To study the causes of hemorrhage after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) and to develop countermeasures in its prevention.Methods:The clinical data of 215 patients who underwent LPD at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from December 2013 to May 2020 were reviewed. The patients’ clinical data including gender, age, comorbidities and postoperative complications such as bleeding, pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula and intraperitoneal infection were studied, with the aims to analyze the causes, clinical manifestations and treatment results of post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage (PPH) after LPD.Results:Of 215 patients, there were 132 males and 83 females, aged (60.7±10.3) years. PPH occurred in 20 patients, incidence rate was 9.30%(20/215). Early hemorrhage was mainly caused by inadequate hemostasis or loosening of vascular clips, while delayed hemorrhage was mainly caused by gastrointestinal fistula with vascular erosion, arterial injury by intraoperative energy instruments or pseudoaneurysms. Among the 20 patients, 6 patients had early hemorrhage and 14 delayed hemorrhage. There was 1 patient with grade A, 10 with grade B and 9 with grade C hemorrhage. Thirteen patients developed pancreatic fistula, 1 biliary fistula, and 2 intraperitoneal infection. One patient responded well to conservative treatment. Hemostasis was successfully achieved by gastroscopy ( n=1) and interventional therapy ( n=7). Eleven patients required laparotomy for hemostasis. In this study, 14 of 20 patients survivied PPH and 6 patients died. The mortality rate was 30% (6 of 20 patients with PPH). Conclusions:Early hemorrhage was caused by inadequate hemostasis or loosening vascular clips, while delayed hemorrhage was related to gastrointestinal fistula with vascular erosion, arterial injury by intraoperative energy instrument or pseudoaneurysm. Careful hemostasis, adequate protection of blood vessels, and accurate anastomosis should be performed in LPD. DSA angiography should be used for arterial hemorrhage which progressed very rapidly. Interventional therapy including embolism and stenting were means to control arterial bleeding in PPH. Decisive surgical exploration when interventional therapy failed was important in reducing the mortality rate of these patients.

Objective To study the safety and feasibility of laparoscopy combined with holmium laser in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis complicated with pancreatic ductal stones.Methods To compare the clinical data in patients who underwent laparoscopy combined with holmium laser (10 patients,group A) with those who underwent laparoscopy only (21 patients,group B) at Zhejiang Provincial People' s Hospital from January 2012 to August 2018.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative conversion rate,pancreatic ductal incision length,postoperative pancreatic fistula rate,length of postoperative hospital stay,residual stone rate and relief of postoperative abdominal pain rate of the two groups were documented and analyzed.Results Three of 31 patients were converted to open surgery.The remaining patients in the two groups were discharged home without any perioperative death.Group A and B were significant differences in the pancreatic ductal incision length (5.0±0.8 vs.6.5±1.0) cm,operation time (289.3±51.6 vs.349.5± 34.7) min,and postoperative hospital stay (8.0± 1.2 vs.10.2± 1.6) d between the two groups (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the intraoperative conversion to open rate,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative pancreatic fistula rate,residual stone rate and relief of postoperative abdominal pain rate between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions It was safe and feasible to treat chronic pancreatitis complicated with pancreatolithiasis by laparoscopy.Laparoscopy combined with holmium laser had the added advantages of easy access through the pancreaticojejunostomy,shorter operation time,and less intraoperative blood loss.

Objective To study the surgical treatment of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 56 patients with XGC who underwent surgical treatment at the Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from May 2010 to May 2017.Results The diagnosis of XGC was confirmed by histopathology.On preoperative examination of the 56 patients,42 patients had various degrees of increase in the CA19.9 levels,41 patients (73.2％) had thickened gallbladder walls with continuous mucosal linings on ultrasonography,CT,or MRI,and 18 patients (32.1％) had thickening of gallbladder walls with low density nodules.Gallbladder stones were present in 51 patients (91.1％) and 4 patients (7.2％) presented with Mirizzi syndrome.The 41 patients (73.2％) who were diagnosed as XGC before operation under laparoscopic surgery and 7 patients (17.1％) were converted to open surgery.The remaining 15 patients (26.8％) underwent open operation directly because of uncertainty in the diagnosis.All the patients had frozen section during operation.The postoperative pathological results included 21 localizedtype (37.5％) and 35 diffuse type (62.5％) of XGC.All 56 patients had no long-term complications on followed-up for 0.5～ 6 years.Conclusions XGC is a special kind of chronic cholecystitis.There is difficulty in differentiating from gallbladder cancer before surgery.The diagnosis of XGC mainly depends on ultrasonography,CT or MRI.Cholecystectomy is the treatment for XGC.Laparoscopic surgery is the first line treatment for XGC.

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to address the relationship between the volume of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) with cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery calcification(CAC) in the community residents. Methods: Individuals were recruited from the Jidong Community (Tangshan City, Northern China) which mainly comprised employees of the Jidong Co. Ltd. and their family members. From July 2013 to August 2014, 2 647 participants aged ≥40 years were included in this study. The volume of EAT and coronary artery calcification score (CAC score) were determined by a 64-slice CT. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) was measured by a trained sonographer using a high-resolution B-mode topographic ultrasound system. Venous blood samples were analyzed by automated analyzers in the central laboratory. A validated questionnaire specifically designed for this study was used to collect demographic data from all participants by trained doctors. Characteristics of study cohort were compared according to quartiles of EAT volume (n=660, 663, 662, 662, repectively). Results: (1) The mean age of participants was (55.31±7.76) years and 49.94% (n=1 322) were men. The median EAT volume (interquartile) was 129.42 (95.66, 176.51)cm³. (2) Age, BMI, waist circumference and hip circumference, systolic blood pressure, LDL-C, triglycerides, and fasting blood glucose were significantly higher, while HDL-C level was significantly lower in participants with higher EAT volume than participants with lower EAT volume (all P<0.05). Carotid intima-media thicken (CIMT) and higher CAC score were also significantly higher in participants with higher volume of EAT. Furthermore, percentage of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia increased in proportion with increasing EAT volume (P<0.05). (3) In the linear regression, significant positive relations were found for age (β=0.019 3, 95%CI 0.017-0.021, P<0.001), waist circumference (β=0.012 7, 95%CI 0.009-0.016, P<0.001), BMI (β=0.022 4, 95%CI 0.013-0.032, P<0.001), LDL-C (β=0.048 4, 95%CI 0.021-0.076, P<0.001), and HDL-C (β=-0.098 1, 95%CI-0.164--0.032, P<0.001) was inversely related to the EAT volume. (4) Logistic regression analysis indicated that EAT volume was an independent risk factor for CAC score>0 (OR=1.233, 95%CI 1.205-1.262, P<0.001) . Conclusions Our findings indicate that EAT volume is strongly correlated to cardiovascular risk factors and coronary calcification and is an independent risk factor of increased coronary calcification in community residents.
