1.Strategies to improve the surgical treatment of portal hypertension
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2016;15(7):665-667
The surgical treatment for portal hypertension (PHT) aims to control and prevent the gastroesophageal variceal bleeding.The choices of surgical timing and procedures are dependent on the liver reserve function.Except for Child-Pugh classification and model for end-stage liver disease scoring system,the future liver remrant and pre-albumin are the important evaluation indexes,meanwhile,the choice of surgical procedures would be dependent on portal hemodynamics that can reduce incidence of rebleeding of postoperative hepatic encephalopathy.Hepatic venous pressure gradient is the most important objective index forecasting bleeding risk and severity of PHT.

Military Medical Sciences 2014;(12):994-996,999
Tumor stem cells (TSCs) are a group of cells which have self-renewal and differentiation potential in tumor tissues.TSCs not only play an important role in the occurrence and development in tumors , but also are closely related to tumors′invasion,metastasis,heterogeneity and chemo-resistance.Further research of TSCs has become a hot spot .This review intends to explain the formation of TSCs ,the relationship between TSCs and the microenvironment , as well as the model of the TSC microenvironment .Signalling pathways and regulatory factors of TSCs are also discussed .

International Eye Science 2017;17(9):1756-1758
AIM:To investigate the effect of small incision non-phacoemulsification cataract surgery on corneal endothelial cell.METHODS:Totally 140 cataract patients (152 eyes) treated in our hospital from August 2013 to March 2016 were selected.All of the patients underwent small incision non-phacoemulsification cataract surgery.Before surgery and at 1wk, 1mo and 3mo after surgery, we measured the corneal endothelium of upper cornea, the central cornea and the lower part of cornea.The proportion and density of hexagonal cells, loss rate and cell area in corneal endothelial cells were calculated and compared.RESULTS:Postoperatively 36 eyes had posterior elastic layer folds, aqueous flare, which disappeared after treatment.After surgery, corneal incision was found to have mild corneal edema.No other complications were found.A total of 128 patients (137 eyes) were followed up for a total of up to 3mo, with a loss of follow-up in 12 patients (15 eyes).After surgery, corneal endothelial cell density of the upper part of the cornea, the central cornea and the lower part of cornea, was statistically significantly different with each other (F=3.526, P=0.031), the difference in different time points was statistically significant (F=4.111, P=0.018).The postoperative corneal endothelial cell loss rate was statistically significant different between the three groups (F=3.526, P=0.031), at different time pionts (F=4.111, P=0.018).There was statistical significance of percentage of hexagonal cells between the three groups (F=4.348, P=0.014), the difference was significantly different between different time points (F=4.964, P=0.008).There was statistical significance of corneal endothelial cell area between the three groups (F=3.180, P=0.044), the difference was significantly different between the time points (F=3.511, P=0.032).CONCLUSION:After small incision non-phacoemulsification cataract surgery, corneal endothelial cell density decreased, hexagonal cell proportion decreased, corneal cell area expanded.

Objective To investigate the analgesic efficacy of intravenous administration of lidocaine in patients following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Twenty-five ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 30-55 yr,weighing 50-70 kg, scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were enrolled in this study. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg was injected intravenously immediately before anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with intravenous fentanyl 2 μg/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg and rocuronium 1 mg/kg and maintained with inhalation of isoflurane (end-tidal concentration 1.5%-2.0%) and intermittent iv boluses of rocuronium after tracheal intubation. Lidocaine was infused abdominal intravenously at a rate of 1.5mg·kg-1·h-1 form the end of ofperation to 24 h after operation. The degree of abdominal pain and shoulder pain was assessed with VAS score at 1, 6, 12 and 24 h after operation. The effective analgesia was defined as VAS score of ≤ 3. The adverse reactions were recorded. Results The effective analgesia rate was 100% within 24 h after operation. No adverse reactions occurred. Conclusion Intravenous administration of lidocaine exerts satisfactory analgesia in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

A typical smooth-form lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Salmonella abortus equi was fractionated into a S (smooth)-and a R (rough)-fraction and their serological and biological properties were investigated. It was shown that S- fraction expressed an O-antigenicity while R-fraction predominately a Rb-antigenicity. The R-fraction was endowed with higher bioactivities than the S-fraction in lethal toxicity, local Shwartzman reaction and pyrogenicity. Both S-and R-fractions were active in inducing mitogenicity to murine spleen cells. A reconstituted LPS preparation with fractionated S-fraction and a trace amount of R-fraction (1% of the original preparation) exhibited a same extent of lethal toxicity as that of the original one. Antr-Ra and -Rb antiserum with a liter of 1?4096 showed a .highly effective protection against the lethal challenge of LPS, indicating that the R-fraction in the natural LPS preparations plays a critical role to the lethality of LPS.

Superoxide anion releasing from activated murine macrophages stimulated with recombinant human interferon-? (IFN-?), tumour necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) and bacterial lipopolysaccharidc were studied. The results showed that both of the cytokines enhanced superoxide anion release in a dose and time - dependent manner, but lipopolysaccharide had no such an effect as compared with IFN-? and TNF-?. It was also shown that O2- generation from macrophages was highly enhanced after primed with IFN-? or TNF-? for 24 hours. It was concluded from these data that cytokines released from macrophages and lymphocytes during inflammatory reactions could promote O2- generation which may play a crucial role in destruction or kill of intracellular pathogenic bacteria, and tumour cells.

To investigate the potential use of synthetic stabilized ribozymes for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection,we designed and synthesized 2 hammerhead ribozymes (Rz213 and Rz498) targeting conserved sites in the 5′noncoding region (NCR) and C gene of HCV RNA.Constructed to the eukaryotic vector pcDNA3, the two ribozymes were respectively or simultaneously transfected with lipofectamine into WISHnc transgenic cells, which could express permanently HCV C luciferase protein under the control of HCV 5′NCR.The expression of C luciferase was measured by luminometer.The results showed that the luciferase activities were significantly down regulated in the WISHnc cells, and the inhibitory rates were 42.94%~67.81% within 7 days after ribozymes transfection. There was no significant differences between Rz213 or Rz498 and co transfection, but adding the target site of ribozymes might prevent host cells from the loss of ribozyme therapeutic effect due to viral gene mutation.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection. METHODS:The contents in the instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection approved the listing from Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2015 were statistically investigated according to Regulation for Drug Package Inserts and Label Management and Regulatory Guidelines for Chemicals and Biologicals,and the items with great differences in different approval number were analyzed comparatively. RE-SULTS:The labeling rate of clinical experiment in the collected 25 instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection was 0,the labeling rate of validity was 44%,the labeling rate of use for elderly patients was 68%,the labeling rate of overdosage was 76%,and the labeling rate of others was 100%. The items with great differences were mainly special populations,usage and dos-age,adverse reactions,validity,storage conditions and precautions. CONCLUSIONS:There are great differences in instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection,some items are inaccurate,incomplete and lack of scientificity,which may result in ir-rational drug use in patients and increase the risk of medication. It is suggested that the domestic enterprises should modify and per-fect the contents of the instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injections referring to the instructions of foreign brand name drug;and the drug regulatory department should strengthen the monitoring of drug instructions.
