Objective To compare the curative efficacy and prognosis between laparoscopic and open surgery in treatment of adults abdominal wall hernia. Methods 129 patients of adult abdominal wall hernia from January 2011 to April 2014 were selected as research objects. Retrospectively analyzed their clinical data and then divided them into control group (n = 62) and observation group (n = 67) according to operation method. The control group was given open surgery of herniorrhaphy, while the observation group was given laparoscopic surgery of herniorrhaphy. Then, operation features, postoperative complications incidence, inflammatory factors levels and recurrence rate were record and compared. Results All patients underwent successful operation with herniorrhaphy. In comparison with the control group, the observation group had statistically less bleeding volume during surgery [(21.60 ± 5.80) vs (61.60 ± 10.30) ml], shorter pain time, evacuation active time and hospitalization time [(30.60 ± 6.30) vs (45.20 ± 7.40) h, (14.70 ± 2.50) vs (20.80 ± 4.60) h, (5.30 ± 0.90) vs (8.70 ± 1.30) d, all P < 0.05], while the operation time between the two groups were statistically same (P > 0.05). The total incidence of postoperative complications in the observation was statistically lower than that in control group (14.9 % vs 33.9 %, P < 0.05). As to inflammatory factors, 24 hours and 48 hours after the surgery, levels of IL-6 and CRP in the observation group was respectively statistically lower in comparison with control group (all P < 0.05). After the two-year follow-up, the recurrence rate in the observation group was statistically the same with that in control group (1.5 % vs 6.5 %, P > 0.05). Conclusion Open and laparoscopic surgery of herniorrhaphy are both effective operation methods for adult patients with abdominal wall hernia. However, laparoscopic surgery of herniorrhaphy has less surgical trauma, and it showed more advantages in reducing incidence of postoperative complications, alleviating inflammatory damage caused by operation.

Objective To analyse the effects of Word Bank Loan Schistosomiasis Control Project in Hunan Province from 1992 to 2000. Methods The administrative villages in Hunan endemic areas were divided into heavy, moderate and low zones respectively, based on human infection rates. Control strategies including a major approach of chemotherapy to inhabitants and bovines with praziquantel, complemented with health education as well as snail control by environment modification, were adopted in each endemic zone. Schistosomiasis prevalence surveillance was carried out in 50 moving pilots selected from endemic villages in each zone every year. Results At the beginning of the programm, there were total of 35 endemic counties (cities, districts, farms) and 471 endemic towns in Hunan Province. Up to 2000, 8 endemic counties (farms) reach the transmission interruption criteria, and 25 counties and 300 towns reach the transmission control criteria. Heavy endemic villages decreased from 762 to 271, while moderate endemic villages from 1728 to 1053, and low endemic villages increased from 1447 to 2716. Human infection rates dropped from 11.59% to 5.64%. Conclusion The schistosomiasis epidemic situation decreased obviously after implementing the project in Hunan Province.

Objective:To study the relation of angiogenesis with cell proliferative postenti al in human meningiomas.Methods:Expression of factor Ⅷ-related antigen (FⅧRAg) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was detected by immunohistochemistry in 38 specimens of human meningiomas,including 14 benign,12 atypical and 12 anaplastic (malignant) menningiomas and the correlation of microvessel density (MVD) with PCNA labellin g index (PCNA LI) was analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference in MVD between benign and atypical m eningiomas (P>0.05).MVD was higher in analplastic meningiomas than in both benign and atypical tumors (P<0.01).PCNA LI was markedly higher in anaplast ic meningiomas than in benign and atypical tumors (P<0.01). A significant c orrelation between MVD and PCNA LI was not detected in benign tumors;whereas,MVD positively correlated with PCNA LI in both atypical (r=0.518,P<0.01) and a naplastic (r=0.358,P<0.01) meningiomas. Conclusion:Angiogenesis is linked to cell proliferative potential in both atypic al and anaplastic meningiomas.

Objective To optimize the application of the nested PCR method for the detection of malaria according to the working practice,so as to improve the efficiency of malaria detection. Methods Premixing solution of PCR,internal primers for further amplification and new designed primers that aimed at two Plasmodium ovale subspecies were employed to optimize the reaction system,reaction condition and specific primers of P. ovale on basis of routine nested PCR. Then the specificity and the sensitivity of the optimized method were analyzed. The positive blood samples and examination samples of malaria were detected by the routine nested PCR and the optimized method simultaneously,and the detection results were compared and analyzed. Re-sults The optimized method showed good specificity,and its sensitivity could reach the pg to fg level. The two methods were used to detect the same positive malarial blood samples simultaneously,the results indicated that the PCR products of the two methods had no significant difference,but the non-specific amplification reduced obviously and the detection rates of P. ovale subspecies improved,as well as the total specificity also increased through the use of the optimized method. The actual detection results of 111 cases of malarial blood samples showed that the sensitivity and specificity of the routine nested PCR were 94.57％and 86.96％,respectively,and those of the optimized method were both 93.48％,and there was no statistically significant dif-ference between the two methods in the sensitivity(P>0.05),but there was a statistically significant difference between the two methods in the specificity(P<0.05). Conclusion The optimized PCR can improve the specificity without reducing the sensi-tivity on the basis of the routine nested PCR,it also can save the cost and increase the efficiency of malaria detection as less ex-periment links.

Objective To investigate the effects of lipopolysaccharide(LPS) on the tryptophan-kynurenine(TRP) metabolic pathway in rat brains and provide new evidence for the relationship between inflammation and depression.Methods Rats in LPS group were given a single dose of 3.5 mg/kg LPS.while the rats in control group were given the same dosage of saline.The dialysis in ventro-hippocampus were collected by microdialysis within 8 hours and then the TRP,KYN and KA were detected by LC-MS/MS.And the expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase was detected by Western-blot.Results The level of TRP((550.15± 107.96) pmol/L) and KYN ((337.95±62.73) pmol/L) showed a time-dependent increase after administration LPS 4 h compared with the control group(TRP (368.38±59.31) pmol/L,KYN (172.80±43.96) pmol/L),while KA level in the circulation exhibited a trend to decrease,especially at 7 h ((3.47±0.62) pmol/L,P＜0.05).The ratio of KYN/TRP significantly increased at about 5 h (0.69±0.11,P＜ 0.05),and an ratio of KA/KYN (0.02±0.00) was dramatically decreased after administering LPS 4 h compared with the control group (0.05±0.01)(P＜0.05).Most of the analytes showed more dramatic changes around 4 h to 8 h.LPS group(1.48±0.37) increased the protein expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase compared with the control group(1.00±0.24) (P＜0.01).Conclusions LPS may cause tryptophan metabolic abnormalities and accelerate the way of kynurenine metabolism,leading to decreased the kynurenic acid status.

Objective To explore the effect of phenol oxidase antigen on liver pathologic change in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum. Methods 42d-aged adult worms were incubated in RPMI 1640 containing 0.05% sodium phenobarbital for 8 h. The worms were washed three times with PBS (pH 6.8) and homogenized with a Teflon pestle. The homogenate was then centrifuged at 3000 g for 20 min at 4 ℃. Supernatant fractions containing phenol oxidase (PO) were analyzed by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The rude antigen of PO was obtained by cutting the corresponding gel of PO activities. Three groups were set up to observe whether PO could induce protective immunity: experiment group, adjuvant control group and water control group. On day 42 post infection with (40?1) cercariae of Schistosoma japonicum, the mice were sacrificed to observe liver pathologic changes. Results The liver surface of PO immunized group was rather smooth and the liver color was slightly gray. A few pale nods were seen indistinctly but not clearly. Necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration were not clear. There were many immature eggs without granuloma reaction. The mean diameter and area of the granuloma in the experiment group were less than those in the control group. There were significant differences among the 3 groups (P
