Objective To investigate the occurrence of intraoperative occupational exposure to blood among sur-geons in a hospital,so as to make effective precaution measures.Methods Combined with questionnaires,the mo-nitoring data of occupational exposure to blood among surgeons from June 2011 to June 2013 were analyzed statisti-cally.Results A total of 49 surgeons sustained 115 times of occupational exposure to blood,including 42 times (36.52%)in general surgery surgeons,36 (31 .30%)in orthopedic surgeons,31 (26.96%)in obstetrics and gyne-cology surgeons,and 6(5.22%)in urinary surgery surgeons.The main occupational exposure were sharp injuries (n=71 ,61 .74%),blood and body fluid splashing were 44 times (38.26%);the top two exposed sites were hands (49.57%)and faces (17.39%).88.70% of exposed cases were given emergent treatment,and 55.65% of exposed cases were reported.The follow-up found no surgeons were infected after the prompt and correct treatment. Conclusion Surgeons are at high risk of occupational exposure.Occupational precaution should be strengthened, occupational awareness and ability of HCWs should be enhanced,and post-exposure treatment should be improved.

Objective To study the set-up errors by CBCT in IMRT with two different immobilization techniques for thoracic and abdominal tumors.Methods Sixty patients with thoracic and abdominal tumor were included in this study and separated into study group and the control group.The study group were immobilized with carbon fiber holder,vacuum bag and thermoplastic mask.The control group were immobilized with carbon fiber holder and thermoplastic mask.CBCT scan and auto-match online were regularly performed before the treatment.The setup of left-right(x),superior-inferior(y),anterior-posterior (z) were received.The value of the Mptv was calculated,meanwhile.The grouped t-test of was carried out between these two methods.Results The shift errors in x-,y-,z-dimension of the study group were (0.32 ± 2.58) mm,(-0.40 ± 3.89) mm,(-0.75 ± 2.43) mm.The Mrrv were 5.60 mm,6.08 mm,6.32 mm.The translation set-up errors in x-,y-,z-dimension of the control group were(0.62 ±3.60),(2.44 ± 4.93),(0.66 ±2.85) mm,respectively.The MPrv were 8.07,10.63,6.90 mm,respectively.The t-test value were t =-0.78,-5.11,-4.22,P =0.440,0.000,0.000,respectively.Conclusions The immobilization techniques with carbon fiber holder,vacuum bag and thermoplastic mask would be better than the techniques without the vacuum bag in reducing the setup errors.

Wound healing results in a scar formation, especially in deep skin injury. As a result of injury in the subcutaneous tissue and skin, scar formation is coupled with surgical operation. Improvement in the knowledge about the pathological mechanism and prevention of scarring would help clinicians to better deal with postoperative care and improve the satisfaction of patients. This review put emphasis on discussing the process of scar formation after surgery and the positive factor in this process. And furthermore, This review presented primary interventions with certain therapeutic effect.

Aim To study influence of PTEN inhibitors ( PIC) on high glucose induced endothelial cell senes-cence Methods ( 1 ) HUVECs were cultured in ECM medium. Cell viability was determined by CCK-8. Cells were randomly divided into control group ( C ) , high glucose group ( HG ) , high glucose +10 nmol · L-1 PIC group ( HG +10 nmol · L-1 PIC ) , high glu-cose+100 nmol · L-1 PIC group ( HG +100 nmol · L-1 PIC) . Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytom-etry. Senescence Detection Kit was performed by SA-β-gal Cytochemical staining. The expression levels of genes and protein ( p16 and Pten ) were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. Results The prolif-eration rate was markedly decreased in HG group com-pared with C group, and this phenomenon was reversed by PTEN inhibitors . Cell apoptosis was significantly increased in HG group compared with C group, and a-gain these changes were blocked by PIC. The expres-sion levels of genes ( PTEN) were significantly higher in HG group compared with C group. The frequency of senescent ( SA-β-Gal-positive ) cells and the expres-sion level of senescence genes ( p16 ) were significantly higher in HG group compared with C group, and these changes were blocked by PIC. Conclusion These re-sults show that PTEN inhibitors ( PIC ) delays cellular senescence that is promoted under high glucose condi-tion.

Objective To identify the pmgnesfic factors influencing the recurrence and metastasis of adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater after panreaticoduodenectomy. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on the clinical manifestation, pathological behavior and survival data in 101 patients with Vater's ampullary adenecarcinoma receiving pancreaticoduodenectomy from Jan 1980 to Dec 2003. Results According to TNM system, there were 42 cases (41.6%) of stage Ⅰ, 32 cases (31.7%) of stage Ⅱ, 27 cases (26.7%) of stage Ⅲ. During postoperative follow-up period [ median, 46(2-192) months] 25 patients (24.8%) suffered from recurrence or/and metastasis with the median recurrence time of 20 (2-93) months, among which there were 11(10.8%) cases of local recurrence and 20 (19.6%) cases of distant metastasis. The differences were statistically significant between the patients with recurrence or/and metastasis and those without in the following parameters: tumor size larger than 2 cm (64% vs. 39%, X2=4.56, P=0.033), positive lymph node metastasis in the primary specimens (52% vs. 17%, X2=11.98, P=0.001), postoperative complications (51% vs. 20%, X2=7.50, P=0.006). Logistic regression showed only lymph node status (OR=5.14, P=0.0037) was independent factors of tumor recurrence and metastasis. The median non-recurrent time in those without lymph node metastasis was 49 (2-192) months, significantly longer than the median 32(12-152) months in those with metastasis (X2=5.43, P=0.0198, log-rank test). Conclusions Recurrent metastasis is the main problem in patients with ampullary adenocarcinoma after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The lymph node status is an independent prognostic factor.

Objective To investigate the postoperative complications, survival and the prognostic factors of surgical treatment of distal cholangiocarcinoma . Methods The clinical data of 23 patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma treated by operation in our department in recent 12 years were reviewed retrospectively. Results The persistent period of symptoms befor operation in patients without postoperative complications ( 1.29?0.23 months) was significantly longer than that in patients with complications (0.50?0.18 months) (P

Objective To evaluate the use of stapling anterior resection for rectal cancer. Methods Data of 1036 patients undergoing anterior resection for rectal cancer during 1983 to 2000 were reviewed retrospectively. Clinical results were compared statistically between patients who received stapling anastomosis (group A, n=652) and those did not (group B, n=384). Results The annual average stapler anterior resection increased from 5 cases per year (during 1983-1987) to 147 cases per year (1998-2000). The 0? Ⅰ? Ⅱ stage patients accounted for 53% in group A, and 62% in group B (P=0.004). There was higher percentage of patients in group A (66%) than in group B (39%) in which the distance from the lower edge of the tumor to anal verge was less than 8 cm (P

Objective To investigate the mechanism and clinical characteristics of rapid spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma in children. Methods The clinical data of 9 children with rapid spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma were retrospective analyzed. Results Subdural hematoma of three cases were completely dissolved within 8 h, while those of the other 6 cases were significantly reduced which were completely dissolved in 48-72 h. Conclusions Rapid spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma in children is rare in clinical practice. The redistribution and dilution of hematoma and the anatomical characteristics of the children patient determine the possibility of hematoma dissipation. The conservative treatment can get a good prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the neural connections between Shenmen (HT7)-heart and the brain by observing the tracing viruses co-labeled brain nuclear groups after injection of the pseudorabies viruses (PRV), the reverse transsynaptic virus tracer carrying different fluorescent protein genes, into the myocardium and Shenmen (HT7) point, respectively.Methods: Pseudorabies virus 531 (PRV531) carrying the green fluorescent protein gene and pseudorabies virus 724 (PRV724) carrying the red fluorescent protein gene were injected into the left ventricular wall and Shenmen (HT7) point area of the left forelimb of six C57BL/6 mice, respectively. After 120 h, whole brain tissue was extracted under 4％ paraformaldehyde perfusion to prepare brain sections. Neuronal co-labeling with the tracing viruses was observed under fluorescence microscopy. Results: Co-labeled signals from the mouse ventricular wall and Shenmen (HT7) point region were found at all levels of the mouse central nervous areas, such as the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. The number of co-labeled neurons was higher in the primary motor area, the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus, the subceruleus nucleus, and the paramedian reticular nucleus. Conclusion: There is a neural connection between Shenmen (HT7), the heart, and the brain, which may be most closely related to the autonomic nervous system.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of morphine preconditioning on myocardial ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury and the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2)in rats with chronic heart failure.MethodsForty-eight healthy male SD rats weighing 220-250 g were randomly divided into 6 groups ( n =8 each):control group (group C),sham operation group (group S),I/R group and preconditioning with low,median and high doses of morphine groups (groups MP1-3 ).Chronic heart failure was induced by iv edriamycin 2.0 mg/kg once a week for 6 weeks in groups S,I/R and MP1-3.Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) were measured using ultrasound,and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were calculated at the end of 14th day after the end of adriamycin administration.Blood samples from the carotid artery were collected after ultrasonography for determination of the plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration.Myocardial I/R was induced by 30 min occlusion of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery followed by 120 min reperfusion at 2 day after ultrasonography in groups I/R and MP1-3.In groups MP1-3,iv morphine 0.015,0.030 and 0.050 mg/kg were repeated 3 times at 5 min interval at 30 min before ischemia respectively,while normal saline 5 ml/kg was given in group I/R.The animals were sacrificed at the end of reperfusion in groups S,I/R and MP1-3,and the hearts were removed to measure the area at risk (AAR),infarct size (IS),and IS/AAR ratio was calculated.The p-ERK1/2 expression in myocardium was assessed by Western blot.ResultsThe LVESD and plasma BNP concentration were significantly higher,while the LVEF and LVFS lower in the other 5 groups than in group C (P ＜0.01).No myocardial infarction was found in group S.The p-ERK1/2 expression was significantly lower in groups I/R and MP1 than in group S (P ＜ 0.05).IS and IS/AAR ratio were significantly lower,and p-ERK1/2expression was significantly higher in groups MP2.3 than in group I/R ( P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in IS,IS/AAR ratio and p-ERK1/2 expression between groups MP1 and I/R (P ＞ 0.05).IS and IS/AAR ratio were decreased gradually,and the p-ERK1/2 expression was up-regulated gradually in groups MP1-3 ( P ＜0.05).ConclusionMorphine preconditioning can confer cardioprotection against myocardial I/R in a dose-dependent manner in rats with chronic heart failure.Up-regulation of p-ERK1/2 expression is involved in the underlying mechamism.
