Methods Secretio bufonis injection (1.5 mL) was injected into the abdomind cavity of mice once 5 d for 3 times. Cyclophosphamide (0.5 mg/0.5 mL) was injected into other groups. NS (0.5 mL) was injected into control groups. Each group were 20 mice. TNF and survival time of mice were observed. Results Mean survival times of mice bearing intraperitoneal H22 tumor were (28.2?5.8)d for Secretio bufonis group,(27.9?9.7)d for Cyclophosphamide group,(20.7?4.2)d for control group. The content of TNF in mice bearing intraperitoneal H22 tumor were 2.53?0.14 for Secretio bufonis group,3.02?0.14 for Cyclophosphamide group,3.32?0.2 for control group. The survival times of mice bearing intraperitoneal H22 tumor were prolonged in the groups of Secretio bufonis (P

Objective　To investigate the effect of turning scleral flap of self-body over drainage in trabeculectomy.Methods　The surgery was performed on one eye of a rabbit while　the other eye of the same rabbit was conducted with the routine trabeculectomy as the control group. The filtering bleb, intraocular pressure and pathology were observed. Results　The intraocular pressure in the experimental eye was much lower than that in the control group 3～12 weeks after the operations (P＜0.05).As it was within 2 weeks after the surgeries, but there was no significant filtering difference (P＞0.05).The rate of eyes with functional bleb in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group at the postoperative 2～7 weeks .Conclusion　This study suggests the turning of self-body over drainage surgery can help to maintain filtering function for a long time and to prevent complication after filtering surgery.

Objective:To clone the RC-RNase gene and prepare its recombinant prokaryotic construct, and then to express RC-RNase protein using Escherichia coli system. Methods: RC-RNase cDNA was obtained by RT-PCR from liver of Rana catesbeiana, and cloned into pUCm-T plasmid for nucleotide sequencing. Its expression construct was prepared using the 6?His vector pRSET-A, and induced to express by IPTG in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Western blotting identified the expression product. Results: A 380 bp long cDNA was obtained from liver of Rana catesbeiana, restriction sites and sequence being consistent to those reported for RC-RNase. After introducing the gene into Escherichia coli and through the induction by IPTG, it was observed a new peptide at the expected position (Mr 16000) on SDS-PAGE gel. This product was proved to be the target protein via Western blotting. It existed in a form of inclusion body and its efficiency reached 12.5% of total bacterial proteins. Conclusion: RC-RNase gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The protein could be used for characterizing the biological activities and function of RC-RNase.

Objective: To study the reasons and prevention of residual stones after choledo- choscopic treatment of cholelithiasis. Methods:The clinical data of 219 patients who had under- gone choledochoscopic treatment were analyzed retrospectively. Results: 21 cases were found with residual stones in the bile duct after the operations. Residual stone rate was to 9.58% . Bile duct stones of 8 patients could not be removed completely during operations. 13 patients were proved that stones still remain in their bile ducts by T-tube cholangiography and choledochoscope after opera- tions. There were 5 patients with acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis accompanying septic shock, 5 patients with stenosis in intrahepatic bile ducts, 4 patients with stones of in trahepatic bile duct and variation of bile duct, 2 patients with stones in sphincter of duodenal papilla,2 patients withstones and stenosis at the inferior segment of choledochus,3 patients were founded residual stones in bile duct obviously after the operations. Conclusions: B-type ultrasonic scanning and T-tube cholangiog- raphy are useful to reduce the rate of residual stones.

Objective To evaluate the outcome of dorsal double locking compression plate (LCP) in treatment of stretched unstable distal radial fractures.Methods Fourteen cases of stretched unstable distal radial fractures were treated by reduction and internal fixation using straight or L-shaped anatomic LCP via dorsal approach.Wrist functional exercise was conducted immediately after operation.Follow up was made after operation to assess motion pain,functional score of wrist,and complication incidence at postoperative 12 weeks,24 weeks,and 1 year.Results Follow-up was lasted for 5-24 months.At postoperative 12 weeks,24 weeks and 1 year,mean visual analogue scale (VAS) was (1.88 ±0.26) points,(0.87 ± 0.14) points and (0.37 ± 0.06) points respectively and wrist functional score (Gartland-Werley score) was (6.45 ± 1.72) points,(2.73 ± 0.52) points and (2.10 ± 0.31) points respectively.According to Garfland-Werley score in the latest follow-up,the results were excellent in 10 cases,good in two,and fair in two.Besides,one case was combined with myotenositis of extensor pollicis longus muscle tendon and another case with myotenositis of extensor tendon.Conclusion Dorsal double LCP is one of the effective methods for stretched unstable distal radial fractures that can reconstruct anatomical structure of the wrist efficiently and attain satisfactory functional recovery,with no obvious pain.

Objective To analyze related perioperative risk factors of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) early after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).Methods The cases from the recipients having undergoing OLT,aged from 15 to 65 years and having no chronic respiratory diseases and hyoxemia were collected.The exclusive criteria were as follows:(1) the patients dead or automatic discharging at the day after the OLT or during the OLT; (2) the patients suffered from severe surgical technic complications; (3) initial poor graft function occurred; (4) marginal donor; (5) pulmonary wedge pressure (PAWP)＞ 2.394kPa.251 patients were enrolled in this analysis,who were grouped according to whether they developed ARDS (group B) or not (group A) in the first postoperative day.The analyzed factors were as follows:(1) the sex,age and weight of the recipients; (2) preoperative variables of recipients:Child-Pugh and Model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score,left vent ricular ejection fractions,oxygenation index,the serum levels of creatinine,BUN,TB,albumin,prealbumin,fibrinogen and hemoglobin,white blood cells (WBC),platelet count and international normalized ratio (INR) ; (3) the variables of donator:age,the time of warm and cold ischemia; (4) the intraoperative variables:operative time,anhepatic phase,the volumes of hemorrhage and blood-transfusion (red cell suspension and plasma),transfusion volume; (5) postoperative variables of recipients:the serum levels of creatinine,blood urea nitrogen (BUN),total bilirubin (TB),albumin,alanine aminotransferase (ALT),sodium and potassium,fibrinogen and hemoglobin,WBC,platelet count and INR.Results The mild ARDS incidence early after OLT was 25.5 ％ (65/251) and the moderate or severe was 4.8％ (12/265).Single factor analysis showed that the factors having significant difference between group A and group B were as follows:the age of the recipients,preoperative variables (Child-Pugh and MELD score,the preoperative serum levels of BUN,TB,prealbumin,fibrinogen and hemoglobin,WBC,platelet count and INR),the intraoperative variables (the volumes of hemorrhage and blood-transfusion including red cell suspension and plasma) and the postoperative variables (the serum levels of BUN,TB,sodium,fibrinogen and hemoglobin,WBC,platelet count and INR).The significant factors were put to the analysis of LOGISTIC regression,and the results showed that the age of recipients,preoperative Child-Pugh score,BUN and INR,intraoperative hemorrhage volume,postoperative serum level of sodium were the independent risks contributing to ARDS.Conclusion The mild ARDS incidence early after OLT was high but the the moderate or severe incidence was low.The age of recipients,preoperative Child-Pugh score,BUN and INR,intraoperative hemorrhage volume and postoperative serum level of sodium may be the main risk factors to lung injury after OLT.

BACKGROUND:Stem cell transplantation and tissue engineering in repairing bone defects is a hotspots of recent study.OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic effect of engineering repair on bone defect by auto-transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs)DESIGN: Left-right comparative studySETTING:Experimental center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical UniversityMATERIALS:Twelve New Zealand rabbits with birth age of 10 days to 2months were selected ,male or female with body mass of 2 to 2.5 kg.METHODS :The experiment was conducted in the Experimental Center of First Clinical Medical College, Harbin Medical University from June 2002to June 2003. Self-BMSCs were separated for subculture. 1.5 cm bone was intercepted at middle of radius in 12 rabbits so as to simulate complete bone defect. Then, the left radius defect was filled with collagen sponge carrying BMSCs ( experimental side),which was replaced by simple collagen sponge in the right side(control side). Twelve weeks later, rabbits were put to death and the outcomes of both sides were compared.X-ray assessment was accorded to the standardized stage of bone defect repair (bone repair was graded into 0 to 5 grades,grade 5 implies that bone defect has been completely replaced by new bone,grade 0 implies that no new bone repair).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The general observations of rabbit radius defects,X-ray scanning, histological and electro-microscopic observations.At week 12, callus became strong and protruded to bone defects in experimental side,well connecting with broken ends. While broken ends in control group were only connected by fibrous tissue and no continuous callus was found continuously crossing through the bone defect of experimental side, marrow cavity was smooth, but molding was incomplete. While in control side, no continuous callus could be observed passing through the broteoblasts and new stroms could be observed in bone defect of experimental side, but only a few of osteocytes appeared in the broken ends of control vations: The osteoblast observed in the experimental side seems normal and was rich in enlarged endoplasmic reticula energetic in ,protein synthesis and abundant in organelle.CONCLUSION :As osteogenetic cells, BMSCs possess better osteogenesis property. They can be used as seed cellsin bone defect repair by using bone-engineering techniques.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical distribution and drug resistance status of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and provide clinical guidance for treatment.METHODS Sixty clinical isolates of S.maltophilia were identified with GNI+ cards of VITEK-32.Drug sensitivitiy were detected by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.The data were analyzed by WHONET5.3 software.RESULTS Thirty-eight strains were isolated from sputum(63.3%).Infection caused by S.maltophilia mainly occurred at the departments of respiratory diseases,ICU,old cadre,et al.Sixty isolates of S.maltophilia were highly resistant to imipenem,aminoglycosides and most of ?-lactam antibiotic,but showed the lowest resistance rate(16.7%) to SMZ/TMP.Then resistance rate of S.maltophilia to minocycline,levofloxacin,cefoperazone/sulbactam,piperacillin/tazobactam,and ticarcillin/clavulanic acid was 18.3%,20.0%,21.7%,25.0% and 30.0%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS The drug resistance of S.maltophilia is extremely severe.Among different areas of china the drug resistance is obviously different.Treatment based on drug susceptibility test should be adapted as soon as possible.

Objective To explore the potential of breast cancer stem cells in differentiating into vascular endothelial cells and participating in the angiogenesis of breast tumor.Methods The expressions of mutant P53, CD31 ,VEGF and Her-2 amplification in tumor blood vessels were detected and the single cell suspension of breast cancer was prepared.CD44+/CD24-/low cells were selected and cultured in culture system.The expressions of CD31 and CD105 on endothelial cell surface were detected by EGM-2 endothelial cell culture medium.The ability of uptake of acetylated low-density lipoprotein was measured.The endothelial cells were cultured in vitro to observe their vascular structure.Results The expressions of CD31,VEGF and mutant P53 were found in paraffin sections of breast cancer tissue samples, and they were arranged along the vessel lumen or blood vessel sphere. Immunofluorescence showed that CD31 and DAPI signals were expressed intravascularly in breast cancer tissues. Four samples of Her-2 positive amplification and 9 cases of non-amplification were detected in the samples.The successful separation of breast cancer stem cells was carried out by immunomagnetic sorting.The percentage of CD44+ cells in the pre-sorting cells was (7.5±2.6)% and that of CD44+ cells was about (94.3±4.7)% after magnetic sorting (P<0.05).The ratio of CD24+ cells was (48.2±9.4)% before sorting,and that of CD24+ cells was (4.3±1.6)% after immunomagnetic bead sorting.The proportion of CD105+ cells in mammary gland cells was (4.5±0.9)% and the proportion of CD31+ cells was (6.2±1.3)%.After cultured for three generations,the percentages of CD105+ cells and CD31+ cells were (79.6±9.3)% and (84.1±10.7)%,respectively (P<0.05). DiL-Ac-LDL could be phagocytized by endothelial cells cultured in endothelial cell culture system.Vessel-like structure was found in the endothelial cell group while the control group did not have the tendency of vascular changes.Conclusion Breast cancer stem cell-derived endothelial cells differentiate into endothelial cells in vitro and have the ability of vascular formation,suggesting that breast cancer stem cells may be involved in the formation of tumor blood vessels.
