Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment for biliary papillomatosis. Methods 23 patients who were pathologically diagnosed as biliary papillomatosis and treated in our hospital from Jan. 2003 to Mar. 2008 were enrolled in this study. Their ages, genders, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches,histopathological findings, intraoperative findings, treatments and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively. Recal manifestations were abdominal pain (83.3%) and obstructive jaundice (72.2%). All the patients were diagnosed pathologically through intraoperative frozen section. No patient was diagnosed preoperatively. Anatomically, solitary lesion was observed in 10 patients (43.5%) and multiple lesions in 13 patients (56.5%), with a median tumor size of 2.6 cm. Microscopically, carcinomatous change was found in one patient, mild atypical hyperplasia in three, and medium atypical hyperplasia in one. Therapies mainly included radical excision and palliative external drainage. All but one patient recovered well postoperatively. This patient had anastomotic leak. All 23 patients were followed up with a mean period of 34 months. During the follow-up, three patients died as a consequence of biliary malignancy, one patient had the recurrence and others without recurrence. Conclusions Biliary papillomatosis is very difficult to diagnose preoperatively and the definitive diagnosis mainly depends on intraoperative and postoperative pathologic examination. To obtain a better prognosis, management should be aimed at radical excision. Intraoperative cholangioscopic evaluation and frozen section are strongly recommended to guide the choice of appropriate therapeutic approach.

Objective To investigate the effect of family supporting system on psychological emotion and quality life of leukemic children′s parents. Methods Fifty-eight parents of children with leukemia hosptalized from Juanary to December 2013 were set as control group, which received traditional education. Fifty-nine parents of children with leukemia hospitalized from Juanary to December 2014 were set as observation group which received family supporting system. The survey was done separately before intervention and 6 months after treatment by depression self rating scale (SDS), anxiety self-assessment scale (SAS) and SF-36 (the MOS 36 items short form health survey). Result There were statistical significances in the scores on SDS, SAS and SF-36 as compared those with the pre-intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion The leukemic children parents supporting system can effectively reduce the parents′depression and anxiety and improve their quality of life.

Objective To determine the effect of omental flap wrapping of pancreaticoduodenectomy on postoperative pancreatic fistula and intra-abdominal bleeding in patients undergoing pancreaticiduodenectomy through meta-analysis of published studies.Methods Articles about whether omental flap wrapping could prevent postoperative pancreatic fistula and intra-abdominal bleeding were searched in databases of MEDLINE,PUBMED and EMBASE.14 English article were found and according to including and excluding criteria,4 eligible articles with a total of 2971 patients were selected.Random effects model was used to analyze odds ratios and 95％ confidence intervals (CIs).Results 1129 patients were in omental wrapping group,and 1842 patients in nonomental wrapping group.Omental roll-up during pancreaticoduodenectomy could not prevent postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR =0.81,95 ％ CI 0.40～1.63,P＞0.05) or postoperative abdominal bleeding (OR=0.67,95％ CI 0.28～1.59,P＞0.05).The sensitivity analysis showed the pancreatic fistula rate was lower in the nonomental roll-up group than that in the omental roll-up group (OR=1.24,95％ CI 1.03～1.50,P＜0.05).Conclusions Omental wrapping can not decrease the risk of pancreatic fistula and abdominal bleeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Further randomized controlled trials are needed to identify the effect of omental wrapping technique for pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Objective To detect the expression of interleukin (IL)-18 of the peripheral blood cells and IL-18 receptor α chain(IL-18Rα) on the surface of CD_3~+ cells in patients newly diagnosed as immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) before medication and to explore the roles of IL-18 and IL-18Rα in the development of ITP. Methods Eighteen out-patients or inpatients with acute ITP accepting treatment in Qilu Hospital were enrolled in this study and 15 matching healthy subjects were taken as control. Plasma IL-18 level was detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the expression of IL-18Rα on CD_3~+ lymphocytes and total lymphoeytes were measured with flow cytometry; T-bet and GATA-3 mRNA were measured with reverse transcriptase polymcrase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results The expression of IL-18 in acute ITP plasma was (468. 57 ± 141.62) ng/L and IL-18Rα on the surface of CD_3~+ cells and lymphocytes were (8.50 ±3. 16)% and (9. 16±2.98)% respectively. The levels of IL-18 and IL-18Rα were increased in active ITP patients as compared with those in the controls (P <0. 05). The levels of IL-18 mRNA (0. 12 ±0. 02) and T-bet mRNA (0. 07 ±0. 02) were significantly increased in patients with active ITP as compared with those in the controls (P <0.05), while GATA-3 mRNA (0.0039±0.0014) were significantly decreased in patients with active ITP (P < 0. 05). The balance between T-bet and GATA-3 was significantly disturbed in ITP. Conclusions Through the variation of the levels of gene and protein, our study showed that IL-18 and IL-18Rα might upregulate the expression of Th1-cytokines in ITP patients. It is also suggested that IL-18 has potential association with the development of ITP. Especially, it may provide a new treatment method for ITP by regulating the ratio of T-bet and GATA-3 and resuming the balance of Th1/ Th2.

A sub-microsecond pulse generation applied for electroporation effects of tumor cell is presented in this paper. The principle of the generator is that the expected pulse waveform is intercepted from the RC discharge curve by controlling the on-off states of two IGBT modules with a synchronous controller. Experimental tests indicate that the generator can produce adjustable pulse waveform parameters with 0.5-3.5kV amplitude, 300-800 ns pulse duration, 1-400Hz repetition frequency rate, and it is suitable for the study of the electroporation effect experiments.
