Objective To investigate the clinical feasibility and value of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intra-operative ultrasonic knife for directly handling the cystic artery.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 23 1 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative ultrasonic knife for directly handling the cystic artery in our depart-ment from March 201 1 to December 2012.According to the required surgical approaches,the patients were divided into transumbilical single-port laparoscopic group (n=125,group A)and three-port laparoscopic group (n=106,group B).The two groups were compared in terms of operative time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative analgesia,postoperative food intake,length of postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications,as well as the performance of the ultrasonic knife in directly handling the cystic artery.Comparison of con-tinuous data between groups was made by t test,while comparison of categorical data was made by chi-square test.Results Group A had a significantly longer mean operative time than group B (20.21 ±1.86 min vs 18.43 ±1.37 min,P<0.05).There was no significant difference in mean intraoperative blood loss between groups A and B (23.23 ±6.25 ml vs 22.34 ±5.49 ml,P>0.05).Group A had sig-nificantly fewer patients who needed postoperative analgesia than group B (5 vs 21,P<0.05).The time to postoperative food intake showed no significant difference between groups A and B (6.56 ±1.23 h vs 6.67 ±1.45 h,P>0.05).The mean length of postoperative hospital stay was (2.98 ±0.23)d in group A,versus (3.02 ±0.18)d in group B (P>0.05).No indwelling drainage tube was used after opera-tion in either group.There were no postoperative bleeding,bile duct injury,bile leakage,incisional wound infection,and other complica-tions in the two groups.The ultrasonic knife had reliable hemostatic effect when directly sealing the cystic artery,without causing postopera-tive secondary bleeding.All patients were followed up for 2-12 months (mean,6.5 months);they recovered well without incisional herni-a,and the umbilical scar was not obvious,with relatively good cosmetic results.Conclusion Transumbilical single -port laparoscopic cholecystectomy has a comparable clinical effect to three-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy,causing little trauma,postoperative pain,and scar,and it is suitable for patients with a high demand for incision appearance.Directly sealing the cystic artery with the ultrasonic knife can reduce bleeding due to careful separation of the cystic artery and shorten the operative time.Therefore,it is a safe,feasible surgical ap-proach and worthy of clinical application.

Although there is emerging evidence that BJ46a can function as potent inhibitor of the SVMPs proteolytic activities,its anticancer effect on invasion and metastasis has not yet been evaluated.Inhibition effect of BJ46a on experimental pulmonary metastasis in mice inoculated with B16 melanoma cells at the protein level was investigated. First,BJ46a was produced in baculovirus expression system. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis confirmed that BJ46a recombinant protein was produced by Sf9 cells infected with high-titer viral stock. Then,recombinant fusion protein was purified by ProBondTM at the point of maximal expression. B16 cells pre-treated with recombinant BJ46a injected into C57BL/6 mice via the tail lateral vein to form experimental pulmonary metastasis model. The numbers of metastatic lesions in C57BL/6 mice changed dramatically:BJ46a different concentrations of recombinant protein group were 1.1 ? 0.83,0.9 ? 0.7,significantly lower than the control group (6.3?3.00,P

Aim To investigate the effects of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharides (GalN/LPS)-induced acute apoptotic liver injury and its mechanism.Methods All mice were randomly divided into four groups.Mice in GalN/LPS group were co-injected with GalN (600 mg·kg~(-1),ip) and LPS (20 μg·kg~(-1), ip). Mice in PDTC+GalN/LPS group were injected with two doses of PDTC,one (100 mg·kg~(-1), ip) at 24 h before LPS and the other at 2 h before LPS (20 μg·kg~(-1), ip).Mice in control groups were treated with PDTC (100 mg·kg~(-1), ip) or saline. Ten mice in each group were observed for animal survival within 72 h after LPS treatment. Six mice in each group were sacrificed 1.5 h after LPS for collecting blood and isolating livers. The expression of hepatic TNF-α mRNA was determined by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Hepatic nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) binding activity was measured with electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA).Twelve mice in each group were sacrificed 8 h after LPS treatment. Serum was collected for measurement of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and hepatocellular apoptosis and histological examination.Results Co-injection of GalN and LPS markedly increased serum ALT activity. Histopathological examination of liver sections revealed that GalN/LPS induced hepatic congestion, necrosis and massive macrophages infiltration, and increased the number of TUNEL-positive cells in mouse liver.GalN/LPS treatments, led to 90% mortality within 72 h with severe congestion and necrosis in the liver of all the dead mice. PDTC pretreatment significantly inhibited GalN/LPS-induced hepatic NF-κB activation and TNF-α expression. In contrast, PDTC aggravated GalN/LPS-triggered hepatocellular apoptosis, increased serum ALT activity, exacerbated hepatic hemorrhage and necrosis, and accelerated death.Conclusion PDTC aggravates GalN/LPS-induced acute apoptotic liver injury via inhibiting NF-κB-mediated anti-apoptotic effects.

Objective: To provide a scientific standard of left ventricular Tei index for healthy people from various region of China, and to lay a reliable foundation for the evaluation of left ventricular diastolic and systolic function. Methods: The correlation and principal component analysis were used to explore the left ventricular Tei index, which based on the data of 3 562 samples from 50 regions of China by means of literature retrieval. hTe nine geographical factors were longitude(X1), latitude(X2), altitude(X3), annual sunshine hours (X4), the annual average temperature (X5), annual average relative humidity (X6), annual precipitation (X7), annual temperature range (X8) and annual average wind speed (X9). ArcGIS sotfware was applied to calculate the spatial distribution regularities of letf ventricular Tei index. Results: hTere is a signiifcant correlation between the healthy people’s letf ventricular Tei index and geographical factors, and the correlationcoeffcients were 0.107 (r1), 0.301 (r2), 0.029 (r3), 0.277 (r4),?0.256(r5),?0.289(r6),?0.320(r7), 0.310 (r8) and 0.117 (r9), respectively. A linear equation between the Tei index and the geographical factor was obtained by regression analysis based on the three extracting principal components. hTe geographical distribution tendency chart for healthy people’s letf Tei index was iftted out by the ArcGIS spatial interpolation analysis. Conclusion: hTe geographical distribution for letf ventricular Tei index in China follows certain pattern. hTe reference value in North is higher than that in South, while the value in East is higher than that in West.

Objective To evaluate the bonding condition of hydroxyapatite (HA)/zirconia ( ZrO2 ) composite and bone interface and the ability of HA/ZrO2 in repair of bone defects.Methods Bone defect models were established in the lumbar vertebral body of 24 Beagle dogs and were implanted with HA/ZrO2 gradient composite (Group A ),HA/ZrO2 unilayer composite (Group B ),pure ZrO2 (Group C) and pure HA (Group D) successively.Dogs were sacrificed and lumbar vertebral specimens were harvested 6,12,16 weeks postoperatively and before the sacrifice at postoperative 6 and 12 weeks,the dogs were intramuscularly administered of quadracycline for fluorescence labeling.The interface bonding and repair of bone defects were observed through X-ray films,histomorphology and biomechanical test.Results The X-ray films displayed that the Group A achieved more formation of osteotylus and better repair of bone defects with the extension of the implantation period,followed by the Groups B and D and that the Group C had relatively worse results.Histomorphology study showed that the fluorescence labeling was enhanced gradually from 6 to 12 weeks in the Group A,with its growth from the edge of the implanted material to the inner part and its tight adhesion to the material,indicating active osteogenesis and massive bone formation.While the fluorescence labeling of the Groups B,C and D centered in the edge of implanted materials without presence in the material inner part.The mineralization rate of the four materials at 6 and 12 weeks had significant differences ( P < 0.05).Synostosis rates at 6,12 and 16 weeks were the highest in the Group A,with the rate of up to (90.26 ±3.82) % at 16 weeks (P <0.05 ).Biomechanical test showed the maximum shear strengths at 6,12,16 weeks in the Group A were (2.64±0.16) MPa,(2.95 ±0.19) MPa and (3.45 ±0.23) MPa respectively (P<0.05).Conclusion HA/ZrO2gradient biocomposite bonds well with the bone and possesses good repair ability for bone defects and hence is an ideal novel material for bone defect reconstruction.

Objective To develop a method of loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP) to Staphyloccocus aureus rapidly, specifically, sensitively and simply suited for the primary health agency. Methods According to conserved nucleotide of Staphyloccocus aureus and principle of LAMP, we designed a set of LAMP primers and set up an LAMP reaction system. We evaluated the specificity, sensitivity and re-peatability of the method. In addition,we evaluated the linearity between initial template copies 1g value and reaction time (the time when the fluorescent value is 1×10~4). Results The optimal assay showed that it was no cross-reaction with other closely related members of pathogens, and was 10 times more sensitive than PCR. The coefficient of variance between tests was less than 5% ,and the kinetics curves showed a good line-arity between initial template copies lg value and reaction time(r~2=0. 9501). The detection activity could be finished within 1 h with the sensitivity of LAMP was 100% and the specificity was 94.4%, and the accuracy was 96.6%. Conclusion These findings demonstrated that the LAMP had the potential clinical application for detection and differentiation of Staphyloccocus aureus in the public health agency for its sensitive, specific and simple feature.
