Objective To explore the pathogenesis of ischemic preconditioning to warm ischemia reperfusion injury of hepatocytes in rats. Methods Ninety SD rats were randomly divided into three experimental groups:sham operation group (group A), warm hepatic ischemia/reperfusion group(group B and group C). Group C was given ischemic preconditioning treatment. Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were detected 0 h, 2 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after ischemia reperfusion injury. Levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were tested detected by ELISA. Levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) of hepatocytes were detected at the same time points. Mitochondrial membrane potential was examined to assess ischemia reperfusion injury of hepatocytes in rats using chart of intensity of JC-1 in mitochondria. Results The serum levels of ALT, TNF-α, IL-1β, and MDA were significantly higher in hepatic warm ischemia reperfusion group and ischemic preconditioning group than those in sham operation group (P<0.05). Values of prothrombin activity and cholinesterase were significantly lower in liver warm ischemia reperfusion group and ischemic preconditioning group than those of sham operation group (P<0.05). The SOD level of liver was significantly lower in warm ischemia reperfusion group and ischemic preconditioning group than that in sham operation group. The indexes were better in ischemic preconditioning group than those of warm ischemia reperfusion group (P<0.05). The mitochondrial membrane potential level of liver cells reached the lowest value 0 hours after ischemia and reperfusion, and then increased gradually within 24 hours (P<0.05). And the level of mitochondrial membrane potential of liver cells was significantly higher in ischemic preconditioning group than that in warm ischemia reperfusion group (P<0.05). Conclusion Ischemic preconditioning may play a protective role in warm ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Ischemic preconditioning may significantly decrease the levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, IL-1βand MDA, and increase the SOD activity in hepatocytes. Thedamage of mitochondrial membrane potential is decreased after ischemic preconditioning, which might be the pathogenesis of ischemic preconditioning to warm ischemia reperfusion injury of hepatocytes in rats.

Objective To evaluate the effect of 3-dimmentional conformal radiotherapy (3-DCRT) for mediastinal metastasis from esophageal carcinoma after surgery.Methods Sixty-three such patients were treated by 3-DCRT. Tumor diameter was: cm 20 patients. Positive supraclavicular lymph node was found in 9 patients. The number of tumor at the upper right, upper left and upper median mediastinum was 27, 27 and 20. All patients received 3-DCRT to the dose of 40?Gy (2?Gy/f, 5f/w), after resetting of portals, the dose was boost to 64～70?Gy by 3?Gy/f, 5f/w. Dose of the patients who had been irradiated was boosted to 50?Gy without further positioning. Results Complete response rate and partial response rate were 43% and 48% one month after the treatment was concluded,with no progression of disease. The 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates were 75%, 43% and 15%. Conclusions Three-dimmentional conformal radiotherapy, with little side-effects, can markedly improve the local control rate and suvival rate of patients with mediastinal metastasis from esophageal carcinoma after surgery.

Cancer has become the leading cause of mortality in the urban area of China. Whole body diffusion weighted imaging (WB-DWI), also known as virtual positron emission tomography, has gradually become accepted as an image tool in tumor localization, characterization, staging and monitoring response to therapy or tumor recurrence. Our article aimed to summarize the limited initial clinical use of WB-DWI in the referred area, and to analyze the most potential advantage of WB-DWI in therapeutic monitoring and tumor staging. WB-DWI as a highly sensitive, completely non-invasive, well-tolerated and low price technique has a promising furture in tumor assessment. Profound clinical study is necessary for its further application improvement.

Objective To explore the use of rhomboid skin flap in expanded skin flap transfer. Methods A rhomboid skin flap was designed if the top soft part could not be fully utilized after expanded in a rotation skin flap. The flap pedicels were designed near the incision side. It should be ensured that ra-tio of the length to the width of the composite flap, which was composed of the rhomboid skin flap and the rotation skin flap, was 2.5∶1.0. Results Among these 11 patients with re-designed rhomboid skin flaps in the rotation skin flaps, the ratio of the length to the width reached to 3∶1 in some cases, but 2. 5∶1.0 in most cases. All the skin flaps survived, except one patient with disturbance of blood circulation in a small area and one with mild congestion. Conclusion The expanded soft tissue can be fully and rationally utilized to repair the skin defect in this design. Attention should be paid to the ratio of the length to the width of the composited flap, and it is better to select axial flap as the composite flap for safety. This method is safe, and worthy of recommendation.

AlM: To evaluate the application of phacoemulsification of different nucleus density using ozil and traditional mode.METHODS: A total of 89 eyes (72 patients ) ( visual acuity was of 0. 6 and above after 1mo follow - up) of different nucleus density level (LOCS Ⅱ criteria grade Ⅲ 46 eyes, grade Ⅳ and more 43 eyes ) were randomly assigned into 2 groups: ozil group (group A), grade Ⅲ 22 eyes (torsional energy 80% lP on);grade Ⅳ and more 17 eyes (torsional energy 100% lP on); Traditional mode group(group B), grade Ⅲ 24 eyes (energy 50% ), grade Ⅳ and more 26 eyes (energy 60% ~ 70% ) . All surgeries were performed by the same experienced surgeon,who use the chop to split the nucleus in the application of phacoemulsification. lntraoperative parameters were total equivalent pawer ( TEP ), cumulative dissipated energy ( CDE ) and effective phaco time ( EPT ) and surgical complications. The effectiveness of the two modes in dealing with hard - core cataract phacoemulsification were compared.RESULTS: GradeⅢ nucleus dealing: TEP of ozil group was significantly higher than that of the traditional mode group [(24.58±7.78)% vs (13.84±1.97) %]and EPT of ozil group was significantly lower than that of the traditional mode group (50. 59±14. 73 s vs 60. 19±9. 04 s, P<0. 05). CDE showed no difference between two groups [(13.12±6.03)% vs (13.38±2.85)]. Grade Ⅳ and more nucleus dealing: CDE [( 34. 10 ± 13. 48 )%] and EPT (104. 64±32. 4s) of the ozil group was higher than CDE [(30. 31 ± 13. 48)%] and EPT (93. 01 ± 41. 01s) of the traditional mode group, but there were no difference between two groups. Obstacles in the needle of phacoemulsification surgery: ozil group 4/17, traditional mode group 2/26 (χ2=2. 16, P=0. 14).CONCLUSlON: Bothozil and traditional mode can deal with all kinds of nucleus effectively and safely. Ozil mode is more efficacy and quick deal in gradeⅢnucleus. With the increase of nucleus hardness, the traditional mode still have the advantage of high efficiency and no obstacle to dealing patients with grade Ⅳ and more nucleus. Choose according to different nuclear hardness ultrasonic model can improve the operation efficiency and security.

AIM: To observe the morphologic characters and the expression of vimentin on human lens epithelial cells (hLECs)cultured on laminin and fibronectin.METHODS: The primarily and secondarily hLECs were cultured on plates treated with laminin or fibronectin. The feature of hLECS was observed and recorded using an inverse microscope with digital camera and statistical analysis was applied. MTT assay was used to show the growth curve of subcultured cells (the 3rd passage). Immunofluorescent staining was used to demonstrate the morphologic change in vimentin expression in the 3rd passaged hLECs.RESULTS: The hLECs in laminin or fibronectin group grew out significant earlier than the untreated group. The cells could be subcultured fluendly in those two treated groups,while only a few survival cells were found in the untreated group. But the hLECs could undergo apoptosis in laminin group at the terminal phase of their life cycle, while lentoid bodies emerged in fibronectin treated group. There were more viable cells in the fibronectin group from the 4th to the 7th day by MTT reaction. Immunofluorescent staining showed a clear morphological difference between the two groups.CONCLUSION: Laminin provide a suitable growth microenvironment for the hLECs while fibronectin promotes the cells proliferation and differentiation.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics and risk factors of extended stay over 30 days at tertiary comprehensive hospitals, and explore methods of shortening average length of stay(LOS).Methods Homepage of all inpatients discharged from October 2014 to October 2015 of 31 tertiary comprehensive hospitals in Shanxi province were collected.39 234 cases of these inpatients stayed over 30 days and their case information was complete.A generalized linear model was used for risk factors analysis.Results With the extension of LOS, most of the inpatients with extended stay were found during their 30th-40th days, accounting for 50.21% of all and constituting the highest daily costs as well.The ratio of inpatients decreases with their LOS, and its distribution presents a positive skew in entirety.Distribution of inpatients over 30 days identified urban employees under medical insurance accounting for the highest ratio among all payment categories,and those from the department of orthopedics for the highest ratio among all departments, while those of diseases from injury and poisoning accounting for the highest ratio among all disease categories.The findings indicated ten important factors for extended stay, namely gender, medical payment category, ICD, inter-department transfer, nosocomial infection, and clinical pathway.Conclusions To strengthen management of specific departments and inpatients, focus on key process of medical quality, and accelerate medical insurance payment reform can effectively control extended stay.
