Objective To investigate the protective effect of penotoxffylline (PTX) on renal iscbemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and its mechanisns. Method Seventy-five male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups with 25 rats in each group: the sham operated controls, Iri group and FIX treated group. The rat model of renal IRI was established with occlusion of left and fight kidney pedicle for 45 minutes. Sham rats underwent laparotomy without IR.Treated mrs received FIX 20 mg/kg at 30 minutes before operation through their tail vein,tben PTX 6 mg/(kg·h) IV with pump. SO group and IRI group rots were IV normal saline equivalently. The pathological change of kidney, serum creatinine (sCr) values and the levels of MDA,SOD,TNF-α and ICAM-1 in homogenate of kidney tissue were measured before ischemia, 0, 1, 4, and 24 hours after reperfitsion. Results After IRI, renal tubular epithelial cells manifested swelling, degeneration, necrosis, and inflammatory ceils infiltration. After treated with PTX, the pathological change of the kidney was significantly alleviated, and inflammatory cells infiltration reduced. In FIX group,the kidney tissue pathological change was ameliorated, and the values of serum Cr, the scores of renal tubules were significantly lower than those in IRI group (P<0.05). Compared with IRI group, the levels of TNF-α in bemegenate of kidney in FIX group were significandy lower at 0 h, 1 h,4 h and 24 h after reperfiJsion (P<0.05). Compared with IRI group, the levels of MDA, ICAM-I in homogenate of kidney in FIX group were obviously lower at4 h, 24 h after reperfusion (P<0.05), while the level of SOD in homogenate of kidney was significantly higher (P<0.05). TNF-α correlated with levels of MDA, SOD, ICAM-1 ( r =0.801, -0.895,0.838,and P<0.01). Conclusions PTX had the protective effect on renal IRI by directly inhibited expression of TNF-α in kidney tissue,then decreased expression of MDA, ICAM-1 and ameliorated the inflammatory ceils infiltration in kidney.

Biliary atresia (BA) is a kind of disease of unknown etiology, characterized by progressive inflammation and fibrosis of obstructive biliary diseases. Kasai portoenterostomy is the only method to treat BA. However, about 80% of the patients treated by Kasai operation still need liver transplantation in the future. Many factors affect the survival of autologous liver in children with BA after Kasai operation, including the types of BA, laparoscopic Kasai surgery or traditional open surgery, patient’s age at surgery, condition of liver function, occurrence of cholangitis, jaundice clearance, using steroids and central hospitalization. This article reviews the factors that affect the survival of autologous liver in patients with BA after Kasai surgery.

Background and purpose:Previous studies showed activated aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) might be involved in the development of breast cancer induced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAs) and AhR which was regarded as transcription factors activated by ligand could induced many enzymes expression. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the protein level of AhR and aryl hydrocarbon metabolic enzymes in vivo with a relationship of the breast cancer and pathology indicators. Methods:A case-control study was 1∶1 matched and 65 pairs blood samples were collected, the ELISA was used in testing blood protein levels of the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor and aryl hydrocarbon metabolic enzymes. Meanwhile pathological data was collected. The Rank sum test statistical analysis was used in analyzing measurement data, Spearman test was used in correlation analysis. Results:Statistical analysis revealed that there was no statistical difference in aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH), cytochrome P450(CYP450) between the case group and the control group (Z=0.196,P=0.845;Z=0.269,P=0.788);and the AhR, NQO1, GST control group concentrations were lower than that in the case group. There were statistical differences of AhR, quinone oxido-ereductase 1(NQO1), glutatnione-S-transferases(GST) between the control group and the case group(Z=1.956, P=0.041;Z=2.627, P=0.009;Z=3.272, P=0.001). Correlation analysis showed that AhR has a higher correlation in case group with GST, NQO1 (r=0.665, P<0.01;r=0.704, P<0.01). Grouping with the pathology indicators (ER, PR, HER-2)-,+,++,+++, found that the level of grouping by ER, AhR protein levels and GST protein levels have a discrepancies(P<0.05). Conclusion:These results might suggest that the protein levels of AhR and aryl hydrocarbon metabolic enzymes have a signiifcant impact on breast cancer. Detection of enzyme protein levels may be helpful for early detection of breast cancer, prompt treatment options and prognosis are meaningful.

BACKGROUND:Currently, one of common methods is discectomy, nerve root decompression and fusion rigid fixation from the midline approach for disc herniation which is inefficient by conservative treatments. Thus, it is causing degeneration and limiting lumbar physiological activity of adjacent segments. The treatment of non-fusion lumbar disc herniation with the traditional posterior midline incision approach has some disadvantages such as big incision, wide peeling, and back muscle denervation.
OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic effects of dynamic stabilization system through Wiltse approach on lumbar disc herniation, and to compare the outcomes with traditional posterior approach.
METHODA total of 46 patients, who had undergone discectomy and internal fixation using dynamic stabilization systems for lumbar disc herniation at the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2011 to January 2013, were enrol ed in this study. The operation was performed through the traditional posterior approach in 25 patients and Wiltse approach in 21 patients.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al 46 patients were fol owed up for 7 to 31 months (averagely, 13.8±2.4 months). The length of incision, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative drainage amount were less in the Wiltse approach group than in the traditional posterior approach group (P<0.05). No significant difference in visual analog scale scores and operative time was detected between the two groups at 1 week and 6 months after fixation (P>0.05). Radiographs revealed that the position of implants was good in al patients, no loosing or breakage. These data verified that the early effect of dynamic stabilization system through Wiltse approach for lumbar disc herniation is similar to that of traditional posterior approach.
