?Dry eye ( DE) is a multifactorial disease of tear film and ocular surface. Inflammation in the ocular surface plays a main role in the pathogenesis of DE. Accordingly, inflammation and therapies that inhibit immune response may become topic for DE in recent years. Unfortunately, there are few studies about signaling pathway that has changed in ocular surface of DE. It is novel and there are few researches on how inflammation active signaling pathway and how it was regulated by signaling pathway on DE. This paper presents a review about inflammation active signaling pathway and its regulation on signaling pathway of DE.

Objective To realize the risk factors for postoperative healthcare-associated infection (HAI)in pa-tients undergoing oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor surgery,so as to take effective intervention measures and reduce the occurrence of HAI.Methods Prospective and retrospective survey were adopted to analyze the occur-rence of HAI and related risk factors for postoperative HAI in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor surgery in 2013.Results Of 432 patients,58 developed 63 times of HAI,HAI rate was 13.43%,case infec-tion rate was 14.58%.The main infection sites were lower respiratory tract (57.14%)and surgical site (38.09%). 56 pathogenic strains were isolated,the major were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (46.43%),followed by Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumonia .Univariate analysis revealed that tracheotomy,length of hospital stay,opera-tive time,intraoperative antimicrobial use were risk factors for HAI in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor surgery(all P <0.05).Conclusion The important measures for reducing HAI in patients undergo-ing oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor surgery are shortening the duration of surgery and length of hospital stay, taking active intervention,implementing hand hygiene,and using antimicrobial agents rationally.

Endostatin(ES), the C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII, is a potent angiogenesis inhibitor. At present, there are a large number of research papers on ES. It has already been on clinical stage Ⅱ and been widely used in inhibition of neovascularization(NV). However, how to improve the bioactivity of ES is still a matter of ongoing discussion. The objective of this review is to elucidate the relationship between the modified ES and ocular neovascualrization, and to discuss the superiority based on the structure modification. The structure can be changed either by covalent modification or by genetical mutation. It is proposed that the secondary structral ES enhance the anti-angiogenic activity. Studies on modified ES also shed light on our understanding of the molecular action mechanisms of ES. Modified ES may be exploited as a new angiogenesis inhibitor for therapeutic applica-tions, in substitution of the native ES. Activity

Objective To explore the perioperative experiences of congenital heart disease in infants.Methods From Jan.2000 to Aug.2006,109 patients with congenital heart disease were operated in our department,their clinical data were retrospectively collected and analyzed.The patients′ age ranged from 31 days to 3 years old (13.6 months).The body weight ranged from 2.1 to 16 kg (8.6 kg).Ninety-three patients were operated under hypothermic anaesthesia with cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB).Sixteen patients underwent deep thermal and low flow CPB.Ultrafiltration was used in 62 patients.Results There were 8 deaths and the operative mortality was 7.3%,4 cases caused by low output syndromeclos(LOS),3 cases caused by pulmonary hypertension and 1 case caused by lung intection.The morbidity was in 25 cases(22.9%),the main complications were LOS in 6 patients and respiratory complications in 18 patients,hydropericardium in 1 case,respectively.Conclusion To improve the operative and CPB technique,and to improve the skills of the postoperative managements of LOS and respiratory complications are the main points in the success of the cardiac operation in infants.

BACKGROUND: Multipotency of hepatic stem cells is of important value in liver transplantation. Stem cells have been successfully identified and isolated from the animal livers. However, reports on whether stem cells exist in human hepatic tissue and how to isolate and identify them ars few.OBJECTIVE: This study was in attempt to isolate hepatic stem cells from human para-cancerous tissues of hepatoma and in vitro culture them, also to identify the stem cell surface marker, in order to find a new source of heptatic stem cells.DESIGN: Cell observation experiment.SETTING: Department of Common Surgery, First Hospital, Jilin University; Department of Common Surgery,Dongfeng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.PARTICIPANTS: Samples were harvested from 10 patients with hepatoma admitted to Department of hepatobiliary surgery, First Clinical College, Jilin University between October 2005 and June 2006, with age of 45 to 58 years.Hepatic tissue 2 cm away from cancer nest was cut when patients underwent hepatectomy, and it was pathologically confirmed as carcinoma-free tissue. Written informed consents were obtained from each patient. DMEM/F12 dry powder used for cell culture was provided by Hyclone Company, USA. Fresh fetal bovine serum was prepared by Lianxing Biotech Co.,Ltd, Tianjin. Various cell growth factors were the products of Cytolay Company, USA.METHODS: Para-cancerous tissues of hepatoma was cut into pieces, rinsed with Hank's solution and digested with type Ⅳ collagenase. Then the isolated cells were re-suspended in the DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 0.1 volume fraction of fetal bovine serum, and hepatocyte growth factors, epidermal growth factors and α- fibroblast growth factors of 25 μg/L each were added in the above medium. When the cultured cells covered 2/3 of bottom,they were digested with trypsinase for passage and inoculated at 2×107 L-1. When cells propagated to the 3rd and 4th generations, 2.60×109 L-1 cell suspension prepared with trypsinase was added, and subsequently, anti-human C-kit antibody, immunomagnetic beads and Buffer solution were added in order. C-kit+ cells were preliminarily isolated by immunomagnetic bead separation. Haematoxylin-eosin staining and immunofluorescent histochemical double-staining were used for detecting the hepatic stem cells in para-cancerous tissues.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Observation of cell morphology. ② Identification of hepatic stem cells from para-cancerous tissues. ③ Identification of C-kit+ cells by immunofluorescent histochemical double-staining.RESULTS :① After primarily cultured for 2 weeks, the adherent cells grew in colony. After one half of culture medium was renewed, mature hepatocytes were gradually broken and disappeared. Small round cells propagated, and most of them were located in the center and arranged in cluster. Most cells were found with one big nucleus in each, less cytoplasm and clear cell boundary. When cells propagated to the 1st and 2nd generations, they still grew in colony, but fast. Each C-kit+ cell isolated by immunomagnetic bead separation presented a spherical cell body with a very big nucleus and less cytoplasm. After in vitro cultured for 1 week, it presented broken pieces and apoptotic symptoms.② After para-cancerous tissue was stained by haematoxylin-eosin, atypically proliferated biliary tracts with small round cells could be seen in the portal area. After para-cancerous tissue was stained by immunofluorescent histochemical double-staining, small round cells in the biliary tracts proliferated in the portal arsa co-expressed red fluorescence AFP and green fluorescence cytokeratin (CK) 19 with yellow superposition arsa. ③ After C-kit+ cells were stained by fluorescence immunocytochemisty, cytoplasm expressed alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) red granules and CK19 green granules. The superposition area of both presented yellow fluorescence of AFP+/CK19+-positive cells.CONCLUSION: Hepatic stem cells exist in human para-cancerous tissues of hepatoma. Therefore, expressions of C-kit+/AFP+/CK19+, the surface markers of hepatic stem cells, can be used for identifying and isolating hepatic stem cells. Small round cells obtained by in vitro isolation and culture, i.e. hepatic oval cells possess bipotential differentiation of hepatocyte and hepatobiliary epithelial cells.
