Objective To investigate the value of timely duodenal papilla fenestration for reducing the incidence of pancreatitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods The clinical data of 181 patients with difficult biliary cannulatian during ERCP at the Xinhua Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University from July 2006 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.Of the 181 patients,98 patients who received traditional incubation were in the control group,and the other 83 patients who received early duodenal papilla fenestration were in the test group.The success rate of selective incubation and incidence of pancreatitis were compared between the 2 groups.All data were analyzed using the t test,chi-square test or Wilcoxon rank sum test.Results The success rate of incubation,incidences of hyperamylasemia and pancreatitis were 85.7％ ( 84/98 ),7.1％ (7/98) and 10.2％ ( 10/98 ) in the control group,and 94.0％ ( 78/83 ),18.1％ ( 15/83 ) and 2.4％ (2/83) in the test group,respectively,and there were significant differences between the 2 groups (x2 =10.12,5.03,4.41,P＜0.05).The numbers of patients with mild,moderate and severe pancreatitis were 3,5 and 2 in the control group,and 1,1,0 in the test group,respectively,and there was a significant difference between the 2 groups ( Z =- 2.11,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Timely duodenal papilla fenestration is safe and effective in reducing the incidence of pancreatitis for patients with difficult biliary cannulation during ERCP.

Objective To measure the phase values of the deep gray nuclei by using susceptibility weighted imaging(SWI) in underage brains,and to investigate the correlation between the phase value and age.Methods A total of 105 healthy juveniles were examined in this study by using MRI conventional sequence and SWI.Their ages ranged from 0 to 18 years(0-＜ 1 year,60 cases; 1-＜3 years,10 cases; 3-7 years,10 cases; 7-12 years,10 cases; 12-18 years,15 cases).Phase values of deep gray nuclei were measured.The correlation between phase value and age was analyzed by Spearman correlation method.Results During 0-3 years,the phase value of caudate nucleus was the lowest within the same age group (0-＜ 1 year:left-0.0433 ± 0.0291,right-0.0369 ± 0.0215 ; 1-＜ 3 years:left-0.0369 ± 0.0215,right-0.0384 ± 0.0259),whereas the phase value of red nucleus was the highest (0-＜ 1 year:left 0.0286-0.0380,right 0.0254 ±0.0361 ; 1-＜3 years:left 0.0325 ±0.0237,right 0.0395 ±0.0270).After 3 years old,the phase value of globus pallidus was the lowest within the same age group (3-＜7 years:left-0.0967 ± 0.0656,right-0.0953 ± 0.0617; 7-＜ 12 years:left-0.1870 ± 0.0531,right-0.1724 ±0.0547; 12-＜ 18 years:left-0.2037 ±0.0492,right-0.1849-±0.0324),whereas the phase value of thalamus was the highest (3-＜ 7 years:left-0.0019 ± 0.0225,right -0.0007 ± 0.0167 ; 7-＜ 12 years:left-0.0067 ± 0.0104,right-0.0064 ± 0.0118 ; 12-＜ 18 years:left-0.0204 ± 0.0181,right-0.0172 ± 0.0133).During 0-18 years,a moderate negative correlation between phase values of bilateral caudate nucleus,globus pallidus,red nucleus,substantia nigra and age were observed (rs =-0.483,-0.497,-0.67,-0.621,-0.489,-0.43,-0.552,-0.58 respectively) A low negative correlation between phase values of bilateral putamen,thalamus and age were observed (rs =-0.272,-0.213,-0.382,-0.366 respectively).Conclusions There is a negative correlation between phase value and age in the deep gray nuclei of underage brains.And the phase value may be a useful index in the diagnosis of iron deposition related diseases.

Objective To explore the relationship between K-ras gene and cholangiocarcinoma by detecting the K-ras gene mutation of bile duct tissues.Method We studied all the patients who presented to our hospital from June 2010 to June 2012 with stenosis of the bile duct.There were 17 cases of cholangiocarcinoma and 17 cases of benign stenosis.From the DNA extracted from the paraffin tissues,we used the HRM assay for K-ras gene mutation.Result We found that the HRM method and the DNA typing had exactly the same result for the DNA content which confirmed the effectiveness of the HRM assay.Of note,the K-ras mutation rate was found to be significantly higher in the cholangiocarcinoma cases (11/17) when compared with the benign cases (3/17).Conclusion The mutation of the K-ras gene was closely related to cholangiocarcinoma.Our results suggest a new way to diagnosis cholangiocarcinoma.

Objective To preliminarily screen the neoplastic stem cell (NSC) related surface markers combination and to under-stand the NSC distribution in hepatoblastoma(HB) .Methods The children cases of HB undergone the surgical therapy in the Jian-gxi Provincial Children′s Hospital were selected .The immunohistochemical method was adopted for observing the expression and distribution of NSC-related markers CD34 ,Thy-1 ,c-kit ,CD56 and stem cell factor(SCF) in the HB tissue and the normal hepatic tissue away from the edge of tumor tissue 3cm outside .Results Thy-1 and c-kit were sporadically distributed in the HB tissue and mainly focued on the portal area ,but did not exressed in the normal liver tissue ;the expression of CD34 and SCF in HB was signifi-cantly higher than that in the normal liver tissue(P<0 .05) ,in which CD34 was mainly distributed in the endothelial system and SCF was mainly expressed in the portal area ;CD56 was expressed in the tissue of the clustered nerve fibers ,the expression differ-ence between them had no statistical significance (P>0 .05) .Conclusion The different NSC related surface markers are distributed in the HB tissue and focus on the specific areas .The positive cells of Thy-1/c-kit expression may play a role in the HB occurrence .

Objective To provide applied anatomic data for relevant operations of blood vessels of perisacral promontory(BVPSP). Methods The composition of BVPSP including origin, course, diameter of the middle sacral vessels, the distance between the sacral promontory and the sacral 1 transverse trunk were observed on 37 adult cadavers. Result The BVPSP is composed of the common and internal iliac vessels, the superior segment of the middle sacral vessels and the sacral 1 transverse trunk. Middle sacral artery comes from abdominal aorta. Middle sacral veins are thin walled without valves. The average diameter of middle sacral artery and vein is 1.02 mm and 2.53 mm respectively. The distance between the sacral 1 transverse trunk and the sacral promontory is 5.75 mm. Conclusion The composition of BVPSP, especially middle sacral veins, plentiful vascular anastomosis are the anatomical basis leading to massive hemorrhage in the relevant operations.

Objective To estimate the effect of a tretinoin derivative ECPIRM on retinoic acid receptors (RARs),and to observe skin irritation responses to it in mice.Methods Cultured SCL-1 cells were divided into 2 groups to be treated with culture medium containing 10 μmol/L ECPIRM (ECPIRM group) or 10 μmol/L all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) (ATRA group) for 24 hours,and those treated with drug-free culture medium served as the control group.Western blot analysis and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR were performed to quantify the protein and mRNA expressions of RARs (RARα,RARβ,RARγ and RXRα) respectively.In addition,real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR was conducted to measure the mRNA expressions of two target genes of the activated RAR signaling pathway,i.e.,cytochrome P450 26A1 (CYP26A1) and tazarotene-induced gene 1 (TIG1).Eight BALB/c mice were equally divided into 2 groups to be topically treated with 0.075％ ECPIRM gel or 0.05％ ATRA cream at equal molar concentrations on the shaved skin once daily for 21 successive days.Skin irritation reactions were assessed in these mice.Results Compared with the control group,the ATRA group showed significantly increased protein and mRNA expressions of RARα,RARβ and RARγ (all P ＜ 0.05).The mRNA expressions of CYP26A1 and TIG1 genes in the ATRA group were 25.49 and 3.88 times that in the control group respectively (both P ＜ 0.01).However,there was no significant difference in the protein expressions of RARα,RARβ,RARγ and RXRα,or mRNA expressions of RARα,RARβ,RARγ CYP26A1 and TIG1 between the ECPIRM group and control group (all P ＞ 0.05).Obvious Skin irritation reactions such as erythema and desquamation were observed in BALB/c mice after 2-day topical treatment with ATRA cream,and their degree peaked after 5-day treatment.However,neither erythema nor desquamation was observed in BALB/c mice during 21-day treatment with 0.075％ ECPIRM gel.Conclusion Unlike ATRA,ECPIRM cannot activate the canonical RAR signaling pathway or cause skin irritation reactions.

Objective To evaluate the femur biomechanical changes of finite analysis with different femoral stem ex-tension implants in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods The full-length femoral CT scan was performed in selected healthy volunteers. The femoral digital model was established with Mimics 10.0 and Geomagic Studio 10.0 software. The models of femoral prosthesis and stem extension implant were created by laser scanner. According to the common three hip loading modes (1 586 N, 1 690 N and 2 132 N), the maximum principal stress (MPS), the maximum principal elastic deforma-tion (MPES) and MPES distribution changes were recorded and analyzed by three-dimensional finite element analysis with ANSYS Workbench13.0 software. Results The MPS values before TKA were 98.54, 147.36 and 143.51 MPa respectively when values of femoral head loading were 1 586 N, 1 690 N and 2 132 N. With the increase in the length of the femoral pros-thesis extension rod, the MPS and MPES showed a decreasing trend. There was a positive correlation between free femur ra-tio (FFR) and MPES (P<0.05). The MPES distribution was gradually concentrated at the top point of femur stem extension implant with the increase in the length of the femoral prosthesis extension rod. Conclusion The values of MPS and MPES were gradually decreased with the increase in the length of the femoral stem extension implant. There was a positive linear correlation between FFR and MPES. The stress concentration was focused obviously at the top end of femoral stem extension implant with its length more than 120 mm.

The study aims to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from 5 manufacturers. By testing molecular mass and trypsin-digested peptide mass mapping, the amino acid sequence was verified and post-translational modifications such as disulfide bond were identified. Results show that the molecular mass and amino acid sequence were consistent with theory; the disulfide bonds of 4 lots of interferon were Cys1-Cys98/Cys29-Cys138, 1 lot was Cys29-Cys139/Cys86-Cys99; N-terminal "+Met", acetyl N-terminal and Met oxidation were identified in part of the sample. UPLC-MS can be used to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from different manufacturers.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence and distribution of HCV genotypes and the clinical effect of interferon-alpha combined with ribavirin treatment in chronic hepatitis C patients in Kunming.

METHODS60 patients were divided into two groups based on drug therapies: PEG-interferon-a plus ribavirin treatment group for HCV 1b and interferon-a plus ribavirin treatment group for non-HCV-1b. Serum ALT levels and HCV RNA quantitations of the patients were detected during treatment and follow-up.

RESULTSThe HCV genotypes of 60 patients were determined by type specific probe assay, and five different types were found. Their overall prevalence were 21.7% for type 1b, 5% for type 2a, 16.7% for type 3a, 48.3% for type 3b, and 8.3% for type 6a. Sustained viral response rates for PEG-interferon treatment group were 46.1%, for interferon treatment group were 74.4%. The abnormal rate of serum ALT after the treatment had no significant difference between HCV-1b and non-HCV-1b patients (P>0.05). All patients with early viral responses got sustained viral response.

CONCLUSIONHCV-3b is the most dominant genotype in Kunming. The effect of PEG-interferon-a plus ribavirin treatment for genotype 1b is unsatisfactory. The early viral response is a good predictor for the responses to antiviral therapy in chronic hepatitis C patients.
