Objective To discuss the surgical therapy of primary leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava(PIVCLS).Methods Retrospective analysis of was made 5 patients of PIVCLS from Oct 2009 to May 2011 hospitalized in Department of Vascular Surgery,Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University.All patients underwent surgical resection,combined with reconstruction of bilateral renal vein and distal inferior vena cava using artificial vascular graft.Results Surgical resection was performed successfully in all patients.The mean operation time was 166.6 min,with mean blood loss 1 560 mL.Leiomyosarcoma intruding the inferior vena cava and right renal vein were observed in all patients during operation.The mean size was 12 cm × 10 cm× 8 cm.The diagnosis of PIVCLS in 5 patients was confirmed by postoperative pathologic examination.All patients did not present lower extremity swelling after surgery and discharged from hospital with normal blood (BUN) and (CREA).All patients were administrated with oral warfarin therapy after discharge.No clinical relapse and pulmonary embolism was observed during the follow-up (range 3 months to 12 months).The ultrasound revealed the patency of artificial vascular grafts in all patients.Conclusions Surgical resection combined with reconstruction of bilateral renal vein and distal inferior vena cava using artificial vascular graft is an effective and feasible treatment of PIVCLS.Leiomyosarcoma is completely eliminated and important abdominal viscera are protected well during the procedure because of minimal impact on hemodynamics.The incidence of postoperative pulmonary embolism also decreases obviously.

Background The extraocular muscles (EOMs) Pulley is considered as the functional origins of the recti EOMs,it is determinants of ocular motility.Objective The structure of the connective tissue around EOMs in cat was studied,and the role of EOMs Pulley to ocular movement was investigated.Methods Five adult cats were involved.The gross anatomy of an orbit in each cat was observed.The other orbit was processed with paraffin imbedding and coronal serial sections.A murine monocolonal antibody to α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) was used to show smooth muscle,while Masson trichrome stain was used to show muscle and collagen,and Weigert stain to show elastin.Results An encircling ring of collagen circled EOM was thin and connected to the orbital layer of muscle fiber loosely.Less elastin fibers and little smooth muscle cells were embedded in the collagen ring and connective band.Collagen ring around medial rectus and the connective band between medial rectus and inferior rectus was not more significantly developed than other bands.Conclusions The connective tissue around EOMs in cat may be related to its function of ocular movement,which is not developed.

The first research on the NS1 protein as the non-structural protein of the type A influenza virus was emphasized on the considering of its depressant effect on the composition of the protein of host cell.And now,with deep research,the evolution of its genes and the antigenicity of its protein have been explained.The NS1 protein of influenza virus has the association with the apoptosis induced by the influenza virus,the regulating function of apoptosis has the direct correlation with possibility of producing interference and the cell line infected by influenza virus.The NS1 protein restrained to producing the interferon by infected cell.The NS1 protein plays an important role on the host anti-viral cytokine responses,it possesses nagitive regulation for interferon's antiviral activity,most observation indicated nagitive regulation might associate with the virulence of influenza virus.Furthermore NS1 protein as an inspection antigen to differentiate and diagnose the poultry which was immunized or naturally infected has a very wide prospect,because the traditional vaccine was used extensively.

AIM To determine the dynamic changes of monoamine neurotransmitters and their metabolites in various brain regions of cerebral ischemia reperfusion mice. METHODS Concentrations of monoamine neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT) and metabolites were determined by HPLC-ECD on d 0,1,3,5 and d 20 after cerebral ischemia reperfusion by common carotid artery occlusion. RESULTS The cerebral ischemia reperfusion mice showed decreased concentrations of NE, MHPG, DA, DOPAC, 5-HT and 5-HIAA in various brain regions, especially in hippocampus. CONCLUSION Several neuron systems play an important role in neurons damage of cerebral ischemia reperfusion, especially the NE and DA in hippocampus which is sensitive to the ischemia damage. The data offer useful guides for clinical treatments of cerebral ischemia diseases.

Reperfusion is the most effective treatment for acute myocardial infarction, markedly reducing mortality and morbidity. Reperfusion however induces necrotic and apoptotic damages to cardiomyocytes, that were viable prior to reperfusion, a process called myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury(MI/RI). Over the past 30 years, hundreds of experimental interventions (both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic) have been reported to protect the ischemic myocardium in experimental animals; however, with the exception of early reperfusion, none has been translated into clinical practice. The population-based survey assessed men have about twice the total incidence of morbidity and mortality of women, and the sex gap in morbidity tends to diminish after age 45 years. So hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is given to treat the MI/RI, and lots of studies shows that the side effect is greater for estrogen, compared with phyestrogen. In this article, we review the important pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury, the prevention and limitations of HRT. And we highlight the mechanism of phyestrogens treatment the MI/RI in experiment. The aim is to provide the theoretically new way of develop the safe and effective products for the researchers.

Objective We established a rapid detection method of Pasteurella spp.and provided a reference for microbiological quality control of laboratory animal .Methods According to the β subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase ( rpoB) protein multiple alignments of 13 different Pasteurella spp.published in NCBI .The degenerate primers were designed by CODEHOP designer online .CODEHOP PCR method was applied to detecting Pasteurella spp.after the specificity and sensitivity of the method had been evaluated by 21 reference strains .Results Standard strain amplified fragment were about 200 bp by degenerate primers PastF6/PastR5.The primers are able to distinguish between Pasteurella spp.and the other pathognic organisms of laboratory animal respiratory tracts .Sensitivity of this method were 0.2 pg/μL~2 pg/μL to different Pasteurella.The Pasteurella positive rate was 19.1% in 609 animal ' s respiratory samples .The accuracy of positive results was 100%through verifying by sequenced and blast .Conclusions The established method has good specificity and sensitivity .It can be used to detect Pasteurella spp.in animal samples .

Objective To analyze the clinical data of patients with post-hepatectomy haemorrhage (PHH) and to discuss the treatment strategies.Method The clinicopathologic data of patients with PHH between 2005-2014 in the HPB Surgery Ward I,Peking University Cancer Hospital,were studied retrospectively.Results In the study period of 10 years,25 of 1 548 patients who underwent hepatectomy suffered from PHH,and 76％ (19/25) of these patients had underlying liver diseases.The common surgical operations followed by PHH were right hemihepatectomy (11/25),and segment Ⅶ/Ⅷ resection (8/25).The median time for PHH to be diagnosed was 27 h,and the median time from diagnosis of postoperative bleeding to reoperation or intervention was 3.5 h.Using the classification of PHH by the International Study Group of Liver Surgery (ISGLS),there were 1 patient in grade A,16 patients in grade B,and 8 patients in grade C.The perioperative mortality of PHH was 8％ (2/25).The most common bleeding site was from the hepatic artery.Conclusions PHH is a serious complication after liver resection,with low occurrence but high mortality.Most patients with PHH can be managed by conservative treatment.Emergency reoperation is required when instability in vital signs appears.Careful evaluation before operation,strict hemostasis during operation,and close monitoring after operation can effectively reduce the incidence and mortality of PHH.

Objective To investigate survival for primary duodenal carcinoma patients after radical resection and identify risk factors associated with overall survival.Methods Data of 51 patients with primary duodenal carcinomas who underwent radical resection between December 2003 and December 2012 at Beijing Cancer Hospital were included.Survival analysis was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method,univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify variables associated with survival after resection by COX regression model.Results The median overall survival time was 67 months,and the median disease-free time was 40 months,1-,2-and 3-year overall survival rates were 88％,84％ and 67％,respectively.Multivariate analysis revealed that regional lymph-node positive (P =0.032) and CA199 ＞ 37 U/ml (P =0.037) were independent risk factors of patients' overall survival.Conclusions Radical resection improves survival for primary duodenal carcinoma patients.Regional lymph-node positive and CA199 ＞37 U/ml were the most important risk factors of patients'overall survival.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between postoperative complications and prognosis after radical hepatic resection for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM).Methods We retrospectively summarized patients' clinicopathological data and postoperative complications.Postoperative complications were graded using Dindo-Clavien system of classification.Then we investigate the relation between these data and prognosis.Results One hundred and seventy-three patients were recruited.Postoperative complications developed in 59 (34.1％) cases.37 patients had minor complications and 22 patients had major complications.On univariate (x2 =8.106,P =0.004) and multivariate analysis (x2 =8.006,P =0.005),complication was an independent predictor of overall survival (OS).However,in a subgroup of patients with minor compications,morbidity was not associated with a significant reduction in both OS (x2 =3.199,P =0.074) and disease-free survival (x2 =1.313,P =0.252).Conclusions Postoperative complications are an independent factor for long-term outcomes after hepatic resection for CRLM.

Objective To identify the risk factors associated with overall survival (OS) for patients undergoing partial hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases,and to assess the predictive values of five published scoring systems in an independent patient cohort for the purpose of external validation.Methods The clinical,pathologic,and complete follow-up data were prospectively collected from 303 consecutive patients who underwent primary hepatic resection for colorectal liver metastases at the Beijing Cancer Hospital from January 2000 to Aug 2014.The predictive values of the Nordlinger score,the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) score,the Iwatsuki score,the Basingstoke index,and the Konopke scoring system were assessed in this patient set.The clinical and pathologic parameters were further analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses.Results The 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival were 89.2％,50.8％ and 38.6％,respectively.The median survival time was 37 months.Two risk factors were found to be independent predictors of poor overall survival:the N stage of the primary tumor,and a carcinoembyonic antigen level ＞ 30 μg/L.The MSKCC score had the best independent predictive power for survival when compared with the other 4 prognostic systems (C-index:0.903).Conclusion In our patient cohort,the MSKCC score was the best staging system in predicting survival.
