Objective To investigate the effect of jejunal infusion of amino acids on secretion of gastrointestinal hormone in healthy dogs.Methods Six healthy adult dogs were treated with jejunal fistulas and femoral vein intubation.Twenty-four hours after the operation,solution of 8 different amino acid monomers (experimental group) or normal saline (control group) were infused into the jejunum of the dogs every 24hours.The levels of cholecystokinin (CCK),motilin,and gastrin in the peripheral plasma were measured using radioimmunoassay at the start of infusion (0 minute),and 30,60,90,and 120 minutes after infusion.Results Compared with the control group,the serum CCK level in the phenylalanine group was significantly higher 30 and 60 minutes after infusion [(1.25 ±0.19) ng/L vs.(0.66 ±0.14) ng/L,(1.23 ±0.12) ng/L vs.(0.80 ± 0.03) ng/L,both P < 0.01],while that in the tryptophan group was significantly higher 30 minutes after infusion [(1.08 ±0.26) ng/L vs.(0.66 ±0.14) rig/L,P <0.01].The other measurement results showed no statistically significant differences.Conclusions Jejunal infusion of phenylalanine or tryptophan may stimulate the secretion of gastrointestinal hormone to some extent.Aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine and tryptophan) is more potent in triggering the release of CCK than aliphatic (leucine,isoleucine,and methionine) and charged amino acids (aspartic acid,arginine,and glutamate).The mechanism may be related to the properties of the amino acids.

Objective To construct a prokaryotic plasmid to express the testis development related gene 1 (TDRG1) recombinant protein and obtain anti-TDRG1 mAb by immunizing mice, and to identify the biological properties of the mAb. Methods The coding sequence of TDRG1 was amplified by RT-PCR from normal human testis tissue and cloned into the vector pET21, and then was expressed in the E. coli BL 21(DE3) to get TDRG1 recombinant protein. The purified TDRG1 recombinant protein was injected to immunize the BALB/C mice to develop anti-TDRG1 mAb. Splenocytes of the immunized mice were collected and fused with the mouse myeloma cell line Sp2/0 cells. The hybridoma cells that secreted anti-TDRG1 mAb were subcloned with limited dilution. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to evaluate titers and subtypes of mAb. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to detect specificity of mAb.Results The prokaryotic plasmid expressing the recombinant protein was constructed, and the TDRG1 recombinant protein was expressed and purified. Two hybridoma cell lines that secreted anti-TDRG1 mAb were obtained. The titer of the mAb in ascites was 1∶1.6×10~6, and the subtype of the mAb was IgG_1. Westem blot and immunohistochemistry analysis indicated the mAb showed specific combination with TDRG1 protein in human testes.Conclusion The TDRG1 recombinant protein is highly purified and has strong antigenicity. The anti-TDRG1 mAb is produced successfully.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of modified single-portlaparoscopic radical prostatec-tomy(LRP) by atransperitoneal or extraperitoneal approach, and the impact of either approach on immune function in patients with prostate neoplasms. Methods The clinical data on 39 patients who had undergoneextraperitoneal LRP(group A) and 20 patients who had receivedtranperitoneal LRP (group B) in our department from January 2012 to December 2015 were retrospectivelyanalyzed. The prostate neoplasms were preoperatively diagnosed as cancer by ultrasound, CT or MRI, and pathological examinations. The clinical stage was T1-T2c , N0M0 in all patients.The efficacy was assessed by surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, timeto intestinal function recovery, and post-operative hospital stay in both groups. The indicators for immune function including prostate specific antigen (TPSA and FPSA), immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, lgM, C3, and C4) and T lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+) in patientswith prostate neoplasms before and after surgery were detected. Results 59 patients were operat-ed successfully, without converting to open approach. The mean surgical duration, blood loss, time to intestinal function recovery, and postoperative hospital stay were (133.8 ± 68.6) min, (75.6 ± 51.3) mL, (2.2 ± 0.7) days, and (14.7 ± 3.6) days in group A, while (159.4 ± 78.1) min, (102.2 ± 70.8) mL, (2.9 ± 1.1) days, and (15.2 ± 4.1) days in group B. There were significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). After surgery, levels of IgG, IgA, C3, C4, CD3+, CD4+and CD4+/CD8+were significantly higherin group Athan in group B (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in levels of TPSA, FPSA and lgM (P>0.05). Average postoperative follow-up was 15 months (range 3-36) in 36 patients. No recurrence or metastasis was found in all the patients by imaging studies,and no long-term complications were found. Conclusions Extraperitoneal LRP, as compared with tranperitoneal LRP, has clearer vision, fewer effects on abdominal organs, shorter surgical duration, less blood loss, faster postoperative recovery, and better protection of immune function. It is worth popularizing clin-ically.

OBJECTIVESTo summarize the experience in the treatment of 112 cases of complex bone nonunion from 1982 to 1999 in our department and introduce the technique of external skeletal fixation.
METHODSThe two fragment ends of all cases were fixed under pressure with half-ring sulcated external skeletal fixator. Those cases complicated by bone defect or limb shortening were operated on with epiphysiotomy to restore the length of the limb in the period of compressive fixation or after the occurrence of bone union according to the condition of complicated infection and the length of the limb shortened.
RESULTSThe nonunion of the 112 cases was united eventually. The infection in 34 cases was eradicated. Bone union in cases without infection took 3 approximately 7 months (average 5.2 months) and in cases with infection took 5 approximately 11 months (average 5.5 months). The length of the limb in 11 cases with bone defect was restored in the same period of compressive external fixation and another 8 cases achieved after bone union. The length between the injured and healthy limbs was balanced.
CONCLUSIONSWhen external skeletal fixation is employed to treat those troublesome cases of bone nonunion, the pins for fixation are inserted in sites far from the lesions and the non-united fragment ends are exposed only in the area without scars. Consequently, there is little interference with the blood circulation and the osteogenic potency of the fragment ends. The sclerotic bone tissue is not excised, the marrow cavity is not chased to be open and the fragment ends are only moderately modified. As a result, the stability of fixation is increased and further shortening of the limb avoided. External skeletal fixation using small pins with cross penetration results in plastic fixation and promotes bone healing. Bone lengthening with epiphysiotomy can restore the balance of the limbs.
