Objective: To summarize the experience of valve replacement for multiple valve insufficiency in patients with giant left ventricle and the operative indication. Methods: Multiple valvular operations were performed in 62 patients with giant left ventricle between 1991 and 2002. Combined mitral and aortic valve replacement was performed in 56, tricuspid valve annuloplasty in 43, left atrium placation surgery in 12, and mitral valve replacement in 5. Results: The early postoperative complication and mortality rate were 45.2% and 17.7%, respectively .The late mortality rate was 6.5%. The main factors influencing the early surgical results were preoperative severe left ventricular enlargement (ESD ≥6.0cmand EDD ≥8.0cm) and systolic dysfunction (EF ≤0 40 and FS ≤0 25), perioperative ventricular fibrillation, postoperative low cardiac output and multiple organal failure. The main factors affecting long term survival were postoperative severe ventricular arrhythmia and left ventricular enlargement with depressed systolic performance. Conclusion: The keys to improve the early and late results of multiple valve replacement in these patients with giant left ventricle are the choice of optimum surgical timing, the proper management of the high risk factors mentioned above during perioperative and follow up periods.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the clinical data and result between transcatheter closure and surgical repair for the treatments of secundum ASD in patients above 50 years old, and explore the indications for these two methods. Methods: From January 1998 to December 2003, 53 patients with surgical repair and 42 patients with transcatheter closure were enlisted according to the diagnosis of ASD. The ages of all of cases were above 50 years old. The interventional approach was administrated with Amplatzer device. The surgical approach mended the defect directly or with autologous pericardium. These patients were followed up by echocardiography (Echo). The clinical data including the diameter of the right ventricle (RVD), the pulmonic flow velocity, the pulmonary pressure and the tricuspid valve regurgitation. Results: In surgery group, surgical mortality was 1 9% (1/53). Cerebral embolism occurred in 4 (7 5%) patients. Pericardial effusion and other complications occurred in 24.5%. All 42 patients with ASD were effectively closed with Amplatzer occlude. One occluder displaced and moved into pulmonary artery on the fourth day after the treatment. The short term effective rate was 97 6% in transcatheter closure group. The diameter of ASD showed by Echo was significantly less in patients treated with transcatheter closure than that in surgical repair group. The hospitalization time was significantly less in patients treated with transcatheter closure. The follow up data recorded decreased load of right ventricle, the decreased diameter of right ventricle as well as the relief of pulmonary artery hypertension. Conclusion: The data suggested that of surgical approach of ASD has a wider indication for patients in different stages of the disease, whereas surgical morbidity may increase in elderly patients due to their pre existed diseases. However, the transcatheter closure for ASD is feasible for patients with smaller defects.

Objective: To observe the effect of Trifoliumpratense Leguminosae extract (TLE) on mouse allogenetic skin transplantation. Methods: Recipient BALB/c was divided into physiologic saline (PS) group and TLE group, full-thickness skins were transplanted through back to back method from donor C57BL/6. The allogenetic transplanted skin growth condition was observed. The proliferation of lymphocytes of recipient mice in vitro were detected by CFDA-SE stain and mixed lymphocyte reaction respectively. Results: The allogenetic transplanted skin injected with TLE 25g/kg per day by vena caudalis growed better than that in PS group. The proliferation of lymphocyte in TLE group was smaller than that in PS group. Conclusion: TLE maybe participate in the regulation of mouse immune system and induce its tolerance to the allogenetic transplanted skin.

AIM: To investigate the potential of murine epidermal stem cell (ESC) differentiation after seeded in a biodegradable carrier and implanted subcutaneously into syngeneic recipient mice. METHODS: ES cells were induced in vitro to differentiate into ESCs. After stained with a fluorescent dye Hoechst 33342, these ESCs were seeded into a polyglycolic acid (PGA) net containing collagen gel, functioning as a cell carrier, and implanted subcutaneously into 129/J mice, which were syngeneic to these stem cells. RESULTS: The ESCs kept alive in the implant when observed under a fluorescent microscopy 3 weeks or longer after implantation, and could differentiate into hair follicle - like structure,glandular structure, and gave rise to additional structures displaying features resembling native dermis. No apparent rejection or severe side effects were observed at least 10 weeks post- implantation. CONCLUSION: It is feasible to use these ESCs as seed cells in the study to fabricate dermal equivalent having the potential to develop dermal appendages.

To explore the optimized dispatch of the rescue resources based on the mastered resources informa-tion. The objective function was set as the shortest rescue time, and 0-1 programming models were established and solved for the conditions that the number of medical rescue units was more or less than needed by the missions. In the two conditions, the model's calculated results were both optimal, and could be used to obtain the optimal dispatch solutions while the medical rescue time was the shortest. The 0-1 programming model can be effectively used to optimize dispatch strategy for medical rescue team.

OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of trefoil factor 3 (TFF3)with stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1) and its receptor (CXCR4) in papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC), and investigate the function of TFF3, SDF-1/ CXCR4 and the relationship among them during the tumor genesis,development and outcome of PTC. METHOD: Detecting the expression of TFF3 and SDF-1/CXCR4 by immunohistochemical method (SP) in 92 cases of PTC and para-carcinoma tissue. Semiquantitative analysis of the results of immunohistochemistry was conducted by image analysis software. RESULT: (1) TFF3 protein was expressed in the cytoplasm of cancer cells,while TFF3 was negative or weakly positive in follicular cells of para-carcinoma tissue. The positive expression rate of TFF3 was 92.39%, of which the strong positive rate of clinical stage III-IV accounted for 71.79% (42/59) and that of clinical stage I-II was 33.33% (11/33) (P < 0.01). The positive rate of TFF3 was significantly higher in the cases with lymph node metastasis than those without lymph node metastasis (100.00% vs 86.27%, P < 0.05). The AOD value of TFF3 was higher in PTC than in para-carcinoma tissue, that in cases with lymph node metastasis was higher than those without lymph node metastasis, and that in stage III-IV was higher than those in I-II (P < 0.05 or P < 0.05). (2) There was high expression of SDF-1 in the cytoplasm of malignant tissues. The para-carcinoma tissue was weakly positive or negative to SDF 1 and metastatic lymph nodes was weakly positive to SDF 1. The positive rates and AOD values of SDF-1 protein were similar to those of TFF3 in PTC,that is to say the positive rate and AOD values were higher in PTC than in para-carcinoma tissue, those in cases with lymph node metastasis were higher than those without lymph node metastasis, those in stage III-IV were higher than those in I-II, and those in patients older than 45 years old was obviously higher than those in patients under 45 years old (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01); CXCR4 was also mainly expressed in cytoplasm with few expression in nuclei, while negative or weakly positive in para-carcinoma. The positive rate and AOD values of CXCR4 in PTC were similar to SDF-1, meaning that they were higher in PTC than in para-carcinoma tissue and associated with the clinical stage, lymph node metastasis and age (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). (3) There was positive relationship between TFF3 and SDF-1 as well as between SDF-1 and CXCR4 in PTC (r = 0.971, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The high expression of TFF3, SDF-1 and CXCR4 in PTC are correlated with carcinogenesis and progression, and may play a significant role in evaluating the malignancy degree and progression of PTC.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) and stromal cell de-rived factor-1 (SDF-1) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and adjacent tissues, and to provide the basis for clinical diagno-sis and prognosis evaluation. Methods The expressions of TFF3 and SDF-1 proteins in PTC and adjacent tissues were de-tected by immunohistochemical SP method. The relationship between expressions of TFF3, SDF-1 and clinicopathological features was analyzed. Results (1) The positive rate and the expression level of TFF3 protein were significantly higher in PTC than those in adjacent tissues, which were higher in patients with lymph node metastasis than those in patients without lymph nodes metastasis, and were higher in PTC patients of stageⅢ/Ⅳthan those in patients of stageⅠ/Ⅱ(P＜0.05). The strong positive rate of TFF3 protein in stageⅢ/Ⅳof PTC patients was higher than that in stageⅠ/Ⅱ(P＜0.01). (2) The posi-tive rate and the expression level of SDF-1 protein were significantly higher in PTC than those in adjacent tissues, which were higher in patients with lymph node metastasis than those in patients without lymph nodes metastasis, and were higher in PTC patients of stageⅢ/Ⅳthan those in patients of stageⅠ/Ⅱ, and were significantly higher in patients over 45 years old than those of patients≤45 years old (P＜0.05). (3) There was a positive correlation between expression levels of TFF3 and SDF-1 proteins in PTC (r=0.266,P＜0.05). Conclusion The higher expressions of TFF3 and SDF-1 in PTC were closely correlated with carcinogenesis and progression, which may play a significant value in judging the malignant degree and pro-gression of PTC.
