In recent years, the systematic treatment of liver cancer has made significant progress, but surgical resection remains as main treatment to obtain long-term survival for patients with liver cancer. With the rapid development of liver surgery, the complexity of liver anatomy and surgical operation are no longer the main obstacles to liver surgery. The insufficient future liver remnant (FLR) after hepatectomy has become the main limit of liver surgery. In clinical practice, most patients with liver cancer cannot undergo one-stage radical resection and can only receive non-surgical treatment, with poor long-term prognosis. The associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) provides hope for the treatment of liver cancer patients with insufficient FLR. ALPPS can induce significant hypotrophy of the FLR in a short period of time, and the radical tumor resection rate is as high as 90% to 100%, which significantly improves the prognosis of patients. However, in the early stages of the practice, there were considerable controversies on the safety of the operation. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of technology, the safety of ALPPS has been greatly improved. The authors synthesize the latest literatures and elaborate on the latest progress of ALPPS.

AIM: To study the effect and mechanism of chlorophyllin (CHL) inhibiting HT29 cells. METHODS: IC 50 value and growth curve of HT29 cells were detected with MTT method. Apoptosis was detected with Wright-Giemsa staining, FCM and DNA electrophoresis. Telomerase was detected by PCR-ELISA, and protein and mRNA expression of COX-2 gene were detected through RT-PCR and Western blot. RESULTS: CHL inhibited the growth of HT29 in a dose-dependent manner. CHL blocked HT29 cells in G 1 phase but did not induce apoptosis. Different concentration of CHL inhibits the expression of telomerase and COX-2 in HT29 cells. CONCLUSION: CHL inhibits the growth of HT29 cells by inhibiting the expression of telomerase and COX-2 and blocking cells in G 1 phase. [

Objective: To preliminarily investigate the relationship between the baseline level of serum soluble ST2 (sST2) and 30-day MACE occurrence rate in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: A total of 121 patients with confirmed diagnosis of STEMI in our hospital from 2015-05-01 to 2015-07-30 were consecutively enrolled. According to baseline sST2 level, the patients were divided into 2 groups:Low sST2 group, the patients with sST2≤56.68 ng/ml, n=61 and High sST2 group, the patients with sST2>56.68 ng/ml, n=60. Clinical condition and 30-day MACE (defined as death and new onset of congestive heart failure) occurrence rate were compared between 2 groups.
Results: ① The systolic blood pressure (SBP), Killip class≥II grade, blood levels of cTNI, NT-proBNP, hs-CRP and LVEF were different between 2 groups, all P<0.05. ② Baseline sST2 level was positively related to heart rate (r=0.271, P=0.003), Hs-CRP (r=0.359, P=0.000), cTNI (r=0.324, P=0.000) and NT-proBNP (r=0.425, P=0.000);negatively related to SBP (r=-0.226, P=0.013) and LVEF (r=-0.406, P=0.000).③30-day MACE occurrence rate was different between 2 groups (8.2%vs 30%, P=0.002). ④ Multivariate Cox regression analysis presented that sST2>56.68 ng/ml was the risk factor for 30-day MACE occurrence (HR=1.152, 95%CI 1.078-1.231, P=0.000).
Conclusion: Increased baseline level of sST2 implied the higher incidence of death and new onset of congestive heart failure in STEMI patients.

Aim To explore the antioxidation of pergolide on rat models of Parkinson disease and its mechanism. Methods Wistar rats were pretreated daily with pergolide(1.0 mg?kg -1,ip),pergolide combined with sulpiride(25 mg?kg -1) or sulpiride alone for 7 days, and then sacrificed by decapitation. The activity of SOD and GSH in striatum was determined. Unilateral Parkinsonian models were made in rest of the rats by stereotaxically injecting 6-OHDA. After two weeks, apomorphine (APO)-induced rotational behavior of each group was compared, and the concentrations of striatal dopamine (DA),dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid(DOPAC) and homovanilic acid(HVA) were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Result Administration of pergolide for 7 days significantly increased the act- ivities of SOD and GSH in the striatum (P
