Objective To investigate the indications, techniques and results of laparoscopic hepatectomy. Methods The clinical data and follow-up results of 463 patients who received laparoscopic hepatectomy at our institute were retrospectively analyzed. Results From March 1, 2007 to March 31, 2011, 463 cases of laparoscopic hepatectomy were successfully carried out. Of the 463 patients,165 were with primary liver cancer, 29 with metastatic liver cancer, 143 with hepatic hemangioma, 81with hepatolithiasis and 45 with other benign liver diseases (including hepatic angiomyolipoma, hepatocellular adenoma, focal nodular hyperplasia and chronic liver abscess). The surgical approaches included laparoscopic left lateral lobectomy (93 cases), left hepatectomy (71 cases), extended left hepatectomy (4 cases), right hepatectomy (29 cases), right posterior lobectomy (24 cases), hepatectomy of segment Ⅵ (56 cases), extended right hepatectomy (2 cases), central hepatectomy (8 cases) and hepatectomy of segments Ⅶ/Ⅷ, Ⅳa, caudate lobe and the junction of segment Ⅵ and Ⅶ (41 case).Nonanntomic and wedge resection were performed on 121 patients, and combined resection on 14 patients. The mean operation time, blood loss, length of hospital stay and incidence of postoperative complications were (244.71 ± 105. 07) minutes, (460. 26±425.81) ml, (15.51 ±4.36) days and 9.29%, respectively. And no operative death occurred. In the 194 cases with malignant liver lesions,185 cases were followed up for 2 to 50 months. The 1 year and 3 year overall and disease free survival rate were 90. 8% and 87.9% , 84.2% and 73. 7% respectively. Conclusions As a means of minimally invasive surgical approach, laparoscopic hepatectomy can be selectively adopted for the treatment of all kinds of liver diseases which located at different parts of the liver, with the advantages of smaller trauma, quick recovery and cosmetic benefits. The short-term results of laparoscopic hepatectomy is superior to and its long-term results is equal to that of open surgery. Benign liver diseases, small hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic liver cancer are the good indications for laparoscopic hepatectomy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic hepatectomy for regional hepatolithiasis.MethodsThe clinical data of 81 patients with regional hepatolithiasis who received laparoscopic hepatectomy at the Southwest Hospital from March 2007 to March 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Based on the classification of the Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatolithiasis 2007 version and indications for open surgery,hepatic lobes with calculi,biliary stricture or dilated bile ducts were resected laparoscopically after preoperative examination.Bile ducts of the remnant hepatic lobes were explored using fiber choledochoscope or electronic choledochoscope for the prevention of residual stones. Results Laparoscopic hepatectomy was successfully performed on 72 patients,and the other 9 patients were converted to open surgery. Left lateral lobectomy ( segments Ⅱ,Ⅲ ) was performed on 20 patients,left hemihepatectomy ( segments Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ ) on 30 patients,right posterior lobectomy ( segments Ⅵ,Ⅶ ) on 11 patients,right anterior lobectomy ( segments Ⅴ,Ⅷ ) on 6patients,right hemihepateetomy (segments Ⅴ,Ⅵ,Ⅶ,Ⅷ ) on 9 patients,hepatic Ⅲ segmentectomy on 2 patients and hepatic Ⅵ segmentectomy on 3 patients.Gallbladders were resected,and intermittent portal triad clamping was performed on 15 patients.Hepateetomy combined with biliary exploration and stone removal was performed on 57 patients.The mean operation time and operative blood loss were (328 ± 80)minutes and (451 ±288) ml,respectively.No operative mortality was observed.Sixteen patients had postoperative complications,including pulmonary infection in 2 patients,pleural effusion in 4 patients,encapsulated effusion in the resection margin in 6 patients,abdominal infection and abscess in 2 patients and wound infection in 2 patients.Of the 16patients with complications,9 were cured by medicine,6 by pleural or abdominal drainage and 1 by wound debridement.The mean duration of hospital stay was ( 13 + 6)days.The intraoperative stone clearance rate was 96% (69/72),and the residual stone in 3 patients were removed by choledochoscopy.Sixty-nine patients were followed up for 7-55 months,7 patients had symptoms of cholangitis and 2 patients had common bile duct stone recurrence.ConclusionsLaparoscopie hepatectomy is sate and effective for regional hepatolithiasis.Accurate positioning of the stones and lesions pre- and intra-operatively,reasonable designing of the parenchymal transection plane,and anatomical liver resection are the key points for achiving good therapeutic effects.

Objective: To investigate the value of the trigeminocervical response (TCR) for revealing bulbar
involvement in patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA). Methods: Thirty patients
with SBMA and 30 healthy male controls were included in this study. In all of the normal controls,
stimulation of the infraorbital nerve on one side produced bilateral short latency waves consisting
of a positive/negative wave, p19/n31, the mean latency of which was measured. The mean square
root of the ratio between the amplitude of p19/n31 and the mean rectifi ed surface electromyography
(EMG) activity preceding the stimulus, the A value, was estimated. The parameters of the TCR
were compared between the two groups. Results: Among the patients with SBMA, 21 (70.0%) had
delayed latencies of p19/n31 (P < 0.01) and all (100%) had reduced A values (P < 0.01) relative to
the normal controls.
Conclusions: All parameters of the TCR were signifi cantly different between the patients with SBMA
and the normal controls. T

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect and safety of circumcision stapler in the treatment of phimosis and redundant prepuce.
METHODSWe treated 120 patients with redundant prepuce or phimosis using circumcision stapler and another 60 by conventional dorsal-incision circumcision. We observed intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative pain, wound healing time, cosmetic appearance of the penis, and postoperative complications and compared them between the two groups of patients.
RESULTSStapler circumcision showed obvious advantages over the conventional method in intraoperative blood loss ([2. 3 ± 1. 3] vs [15.6 ± 2.9] ml), operation time ([7.1 ± 1.4] vs [22.6 ± 4.6] min), wound healing time ([12.0 ± 2.9] as [16.3 ± 3. 1] d), postoperative pain score (1. 9 ± 1. 3 vs 5. 2 ± 1. 7), incision edema, and cosmetic appearance of the penis (all P <0. 05). Besides, stapler circumcision exempted the patients from stitch-removal pain. However, the incidence rate of postoperative local ecchymosis was significantly higher in the circumcision stapler group than in the conventional circumcision group (20. 8% vs 8. 3% , P <0. 05).
CONCLUSIONCircumcision stapler, with its advantages of easier manipulation, shorter operation time, better cosmetic penile appearance, less pain, and fewer complications, is superior to conventional circumcision in the treatment of phimosis and redundant prepuce.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the structure-activity relationship of anti-tumor activity of diosgenin derivatives in vitro. Study has found that diosgenin can inhibit the reproduction of tumor cells by inducing apoptosis and the main target spot of this effect is Bcl-2. Based on the characteristics of pharmacophoric points' of the three-dimensional pharmacophore for Bcl-2 inhibitors, we have docked lots of diosgenin derivatives with Bcl-2, then synthesized 31 compounds of them, finally assessed the anti-tumor activity of the diosgenin derivatives in vitro against A375, A549, HepG-2 and K562. Preliminary studies of SAR have indicated that the aliphatic esters, and aromatic esters of diosgenin without F ring have no anti-tumor activity in vitro. The triazole bromides of diosgenin all achieve fairly good anti-tumor activity in vitro, and those with larger hydrophobic group have the better activity. The stronger is the hydrogen bonding interaction and dipole-dipole interaction of the heterocyclic of diosgenin and diosgenin without F ring and the acid ester of diosgenin without F ring, the better is the activity of derivatives.

OBJECTIVETo study the risk factors in high prevalence district of birth defects (BD) to provide evidence for intervention development.
METHODSQuantitative analysis had been carried out based on the investigation at three counties in Shanxi province. 491 useable questionnaires had been collected with a response rate as 94.6%. Binary logistic regression was performed to analyze the risk factors of BD.
RESULTSData from logistic regression analyses revealed that factors as: the status of family income, knowledge on healthy birth and rearing, behavior and illness during pregnancy were influencing the occurrence of BD, with OR values as 0.535, 3.265, 0.403 and 1.379 respectively. Better family income and knowledge on BD were negatively (P values are 0.000 and 0.001 respectively), while illness during pregnancy and alcohol intake of the husbands were positively correlated (P values are 0.005 and 0.012 respectively) to the occurrence of BD.
CONCLUSIONMeasures as accelerating the development of local economy, providing education on BD knowledge to the couples, changing negative life style and improving the health status would reduce the risk of BD. Preconceptional-periconceptional care seemed to be the new idea for healthy pregnancy and healthy baby.

ORF1 and ORF2 gene of porcine circovirus type 2 were cloned by PCR with the specific primers designed according to genome of PCV2 (AY035820). Following extraction and digestion, PCR products were subsequently inserted into universal transfer vector plECMV (deleted partial gE and gI of pseudorabies virus) to generate recombinant transfer plasmid pIEORF1-ORF2. The genomic DNA of PRV TK-/gE- /LacZ+ strain and pIEORF1-ORF2 were co-transfected into IBRS-2 cells with lipofectin, and recombinant virus TK- /gE- /gI- /ORF1-ORF2+ was selected by PCR with ORF1 gene and ORF2 gene primers respectively. The recombinant virus was analyzed with Southern blotting and Western blotting. The results indicated that ORF1 and ORF2 gene of PCV2 had been inserted into the genome of TK- /gE- /LacZ+ strain and the expressed ORF1-ORF2 fusion protein could react with PCV2 positive sera. Result of virus titers detection showed the insertion of ORF1 and ORF2 gene did not influence propagation of recombinant virus.
