Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of endoscopic variceal ligation versus pericardial devascularization in the treatment of portal hypertension.Methods The clinical data of 101 cirrhotic patients with gastroesophageal varices and variceal hemorrhage from January 2010 to January 2012 were analyzed.Fifty-three patients received endoscopic variceal ligation,and forty-eight patients received pericardial devascularization.Postoperative changes in liver function and hypersplenism were compared between the two groups.The rate of rehaemorrhagia and incidence of postoperative complications after surgery were compared as well.Continuous data were expressed as mean ±SD,and categori-cal data were expressed as number of cases or percentage.Comparison of continuous data between the two groups was made by independent-samples t test,and comparison of categorical data was made by chi-square test.Results After surgery,the variceal ligation group showed no significant changes in liver reserve function,while the albumin level was significantly decreased in the pericardial devascularization group (t=2.512,P<0.05).There were no significant changes in the counts of white blood cells and platelets in the endoscopic variceal ligation group after surgery (P>0.05),but significant increases in the counts of white blood cells and platelets were detected in the pericardial devascular-ization group (P<0.05).The rates of postoperative haemorrhage in the two groups were:3 months,7.5%vs 6.2%(χ2 =0.066,P>0.05), 6 months,7.5%vs 8.3%(χ2 =0.021,P>0.05),and 1 year,9.4%vs 8.3%(χ2 =0.038,P>0.05).The incidence rates of postopera-tive complications in the two groups were 24.5%and 50%,respectively (χ2 =7.040,P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with pericardial devascularization,endoscopic variceal ligation causes fewer microlesions,preserves liver function,and leads to a lower incidence of postopera-tive complications.However,if hypersplenism is observed in the cirrhotic patients with gastroesophageal varices and variceal hemorrhage,peri-cardial devascularization can be used to control the hypersplenism and prevent esophageal hemorrhage.

AIM:To observe the effect of botulinum neurotoxin type A heavy chain ( BoNT/A HC) on the pat-tern of spinal protein expression by intrathecal injection after spinal cord injury in rats , and to explore the role of BoNT/A HC intervention in spinal protein expression and some of its mechanisms in nerve regeneration after injury .METHODS:The model of unilateral lumbar spinal cord injury was established .The effects of BoNT/A HC intervention at different doses (2 μg, 4 μg, 6 μg and 8 μg) on the general pattern of protein expression in the spinal cord tissues at the injury site and the cranial part adjacent to the injury site was measured and evaluated by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie brilliant blue staining first, and then by two-dimensional SDS-PAGE.RESULTS:The histological structure of the ipsilateral side of lumbar spi-nal cord showed obvious destruction and degradation , mainly affecting both gray and white matter of the left side of the cord.The result of SDS-PAGE with Coomassie brilliant blue staining from injured spinal cord tissue displayed that the ex-pression of some proteins after one-time BoNT/A HC treatment appeared obviously different from that without BoNT /A HC treatment.Moreover, the pattern of the protein expression affected by BoNT/A HC was similar to that of the normal spinal cord.The more detail information from two-dimensional SDS-PAGE indicated that more than 10 proteins with different mo-lecular weight and isoelectronic points were differentially expressed at day 2 and day 20 after local injection of 6μg BoNT/A HC.This altered expression actually appeared a tendency toward the pattern shown in normal group .CONCLUSION:The immediate application of BoNT/A HC at the injury site after unilateral lumbar spinal cord injury is able to affect the pattern of local protein expression .The altered protein expression by injury could be reversed back to normal or approxi -mately normal by local BoNT/A HC administration.
