ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of low central venous pressure (LCVP) in the operation of major hepatic resection.MethodsFourty-eight patients underwent major hepatic resection were randomized into two groups: LCVP and control group.In the LCVP group,CVP was maintained ≤5 cm H2O during the hepatic resection and then returned to normal after resection.In the control group,CVP was maintained normal between 6 -12 cm H20.The duration of hepatectomy,volume of blood loss,volume of blood transfused and renal function were compared between the two groups.ResultsFor the LCVP and control group,the time for hepatectomy was (45 ± 8 ) and ( 35 ± 5 ) min,respectively; the volumes of blood loss were ( 850 ± 160) and (436 ±280)ml,respectively; the blood loss during operation was (490 ± 130) and (270 ± 105 ) ml respectively.The differences were statistically significant (t values were 15.53,7.69 and 17.89 separately,P ＜0.05 ).No significant difference in the renal function was observed before and after the operation ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion Using LCVP technique during liver resection significantly reduced the operation time,blood loss and blood infusion.And there wa.s no obvious adverse effect on renal function.

Objective To evaluate the impact of influenza virus hemagglutitin (HA) 306-318 peptide on T cell activation and to investigate the inhibitory effect of the altered HA306-318 peptide on T cell proliferation. Methods HA306-318 peptide and its mutant containing amino acid substitutions were synthesized. They were used in T cell activation assay using HLA-DR1 transfected cells. Responses were determined by MTT proliferation assays. The HA mutant without stimulating effect on T cells was then examined by inhibiting HLA-DR1-restricted T cell activation. Results It was demonstrated in this study that the altered HA306-318 peptide bound to HLA-DR1 molecule on L57.23 cells transfected with HLA-DR1 cDNA, but not on the control cells. The altered HA306-318 peptide had no stimulating effect on T cells compared with the wild type HA306-318 which induced T cell proliferation. It was shown that the altered HA peptide inhibited T cell activation mediated by wild type HA306-318 as well as by CⅡ263-272 which was the specific T cell antigen. Conclusions This study suggests that HA306-318 peptide is antigenic and can induce responses in HLA-DR1 specific T cells. Altered HA306-318 peptide is hyporesponsive in T cell activation with inhibitory effect on antigen-driven T cell responses, and it is potentially a therapeutic agent in rheumatoid arthritis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of noise on the hearing of the workers with noise exposureand explore the relationship between the hearing damage and the length of noise exposure.METHODS 120 workers who exposed to noise were recruited. Their physical examination including audiometry was done in our hospital from year 2012 to 2014. Hearing loss and the length of noise exposure were detected in all subjects after 2-year's follow-up.The rate of hearing loss between workers with different length of noise exposure was analyzed statistically. RESULTS There were 22 workers who were exposed to noise for 2 years, 43 workers for 3-5 years and 55 workers for 6-10 years. After 2-year's follow up, there were significant differences between the rate of hearing loss and the length of noise exposure at 3,4 and 6 kHz. And the rate of hearing loss at different sound frequency were significantly different statistically. CONCLUSION The relevance ratio of hearing loss in long noise-exposed group was significantly higher than short groups. The hearing damages at 4 KHz were more frequent than other sound frequency.

A pot experiment was conducted to study effect of drought stress on leaf physiological characteristics and growth of one year old Stellaria dichotoma seedlings. The result showed that plant height and shoot dry weight significantly decreased with decrease in soil water content; however, root length and root dry weight increased at light drought stress and decreased at severe drought stress. The result also showed that with the decrease of soil water content, proline content in S. dichotoma leaves decreased then increase, while solube protein content decreased. Activities of SOD and POD in S. dichotoma leaves significantly decreased as soil water content decreased, while activity of CAT significantly decreased at severe drought stress. Membrane permeability in S. dichotoma leaves increased, while MDA content decreased then increased as soil water decreased. These results suggest that S. dichotoma had osmotic stress resistance ability and reactive oxygen scavenging capacity at light drought stress, which caused S. dichotoma growth was no inhibited at a certain extent drought stress.

Coding region instability determinant (CRD) is one of the influence factors of oncogene c-myc.Coding region instability determinant-binding protein (CRD-BP) can connect with CRD in order to protect CRD from nuclease attack,prevent rapid degradation of c-myc mRNA,and increase c-myc protein content.Beta-transducin repeats-containing protein (β-TrCP) can affect cell growth,differentiation,apoptosis and oncogenesis by regulating multiple signaling pathways and cell cycle.The overexpression of CRD-BP can upregulate the expression of β-TrCP and both of them play important roles in the tumorigenesis,progression,metastasis and invasion of colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND: siRNA transfection is a key step in RNA interference. The methods of cardiomyocytes transfection were most use of plasmids as vector to transfect long-chain shRNA. However, the processes were complex. It was a simple efficient and low-toxic method that liposomes-mediatad chernosynthesis siRNA transfection. It was useful for expanding RNA interference application.OBJECTIVE: To choice the optimal concentration of Iiposomes-mediated chemosynthesis siRNA transfection, and to discover a simple efficient RNA interference application.METHODS: CY3-Negative siRNA was mediated by lipid-besed agent siPORT~(TM) NeoFX~(TM) to transfect cardiomyocytes. A blank control group was set. After 24 hours, the transfection efficiency and apoptotic rate were evaluated by fluorescent microscope and flow cytometer to select an optimal concentration. Based the best concentration, siRNA PHB was transfected to cerdiomyocytes. 48 hours later, the expression of PHB was tested.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the increased concentration of CY3-Negative siRNA, the number of cells emitted red fluorescence grew under fluorescence microscope, and the transfection efficiency was also increased (P＜0.05). The best concentration was 30 nmol/L (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in apoptotic rate between transfected groups and the control group (P ＞ 0.05). The PHB expression of cardiomyocytes transfected siRNA PHB was dropped by 74.11% on average (P＜0.05). The results indicated that lipid based agent siPORT~(TM) NeoFX~(TM) was suitable to transfect chemosynthesis siRNA to cardiomyocytes, and the best transfection concentration of siRNA was 30 nmol/L.
