Objective To discuss the technique and clinical value of laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) without using Endo-GIA combined with pericardial devascularization for the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension. Methods From March 2005 to October 2006, 23 patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension-induced lower esophageal varices were treated with LS combined with pericardial devascularization. In 18 of the cases, the spleen was resected by disconnection of the secondary splenic pedicle without using endo-GIA. During the operation, the splenic vessels were separated and disconnected by using absorbable clip or ligation respectively. And then the lesser omentum was cut using ultrasonic knife, and the pericardial varices devascularization was performed using the absorbable clips or ultrasonic knife. Finally, the spleen was placed into a bag, broken into small pieces, and removed from an enlarged trocar hole. Results The operation was completed successfully in the 18 cases. The mean operation time was 255 min (range,180-320 min). The mean intraoperative blood loss was 450 ml (range, 200-1600 ml). After the operation, 2 patients developed plural effusion, 1 had subphrenic abscess, and 2 had mild ascites. The subphrenic abscess was cure by ultrasonography-guided puncture. The mean hospitalization was 7.5 days (range 6 to 17 days). No mortality occurred. All the patients were followed up for an averge of 16.4 months (range 5 to 24 months). No patient died after the operation. The mean hospital stay was 7.5 days (6-17 days). The cases were followed up for 5-24 months (mean, 16.4 months). One patient developed rebleeding 20 months after the operation, and was cured by injecting sclerosing agent under a gastroscope. The other 17 cases had no hemorrhage after the operation.Conclusions It is a low-cost and superior method to disconnect the secondary splenic pedicle without using endo-GIA in LS combined with pericardial devascularization for the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension.

BackgroundRevascularization and statin therapy are routinely used in the management of stable coronary artery disease. However, it is unclear whether the estimated high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particle size (eHDL-S), the ratio of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) to apoprotein A-I (apoA-I), is associated with the clinical outcomes of diabetic patients with stablecoronary artery disease (CAD).MethodsWe per-formed a prospective cohort study of 328 patients diagnosed with stable CAD by coronary angiography. Patients were followed up for a mean duration of 12 months. The patients were divided into three groups by the tertiles of eHDL-S: low eHDL-S (< 0.71,n= 118); interme-diate eHDL-S (0.71-0.79,n= 111); and high eHDL-S (> 0.79,n= 99). The associations between the baseline eHDL-S and short-term out-comes were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional regression.Results The low eHDL-S group had higher trig-lyceride, hemoglobin A1c, uric acid, and leukocyte count than the other groups. During the follow-up period, 47/328 patients experienced a pre-specified outcome. According to the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the incidence of pre-specified outcomes was lower in the high eHDL-S group (P = 0.04). However, eHDL-S was not independently associated with adverse outcomes in Cox proportional hazards regression (haz-ard ratio (HR): 0.23, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.01-11.24,P = 0.493).ConclusionAlthough the eHDL-S was associated with inflammatory biomarkers, it was not independently associated with the short-term prognosis of diabetic patients with stable CAD in the era of revascularization and potent statin therapy.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic features of the brain tissue from multilobar resection or hemispherectomy for refractory epilepsy. Methods The clinical and pathologic findings of 46 cases seen at Xuanwu hospital from 2005 to 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. Results The mean age of seizure onset and disease duration were 3.9 years and 10.2 years, respectively. There were 33 cases of hemispherectomy and 13 cases of multilobar resection. Temporal lobe abnormality was seen in all cases. The pathologic subgroups were as follows: ulegyria (31/46), malformation of cortical development (MCD, 7/46 ) and infection (8/46). Microscopic examination of ulegyria showed cortical architectural disturbances, neuronal loss, reactive gliosis and appearance of corpora amylacea. We also noted deposition of hemosiderin (13 cases), calcification (9 cases) and island-like neurons (5 cases). All ulegyria cases were accompanied by varying degree of cortical dysplasia, and hippocampus sclerosis were identified in 7 cases. MCD comprised of 5 cases of focal cortical dysplasia ( FCD), including 3 cases of FCDⅠB, 1 case of FCDⅡA and 1 case of FCDⅠA, 1 case of polymicrogyria and 1 case of porencephaly. Among 8 infection eases, there were 5 cases of Rasmussen encephalitis ( RE), l case of cysticercosis, 1 case of tuberculous meningitis and l case of Cytomegalovirus encephalitis. Conclusions The most common pathological category of specimens from hemispherectomy or multilobar resection is ulegyria with obvious temporal lobe abnormality. This is followed by MCD ( with FCDⅠB as the main type) and central nervous system infection (RE as the most frequent abnormality).

Aim To investigate the effects of diallyl di-sulfide( DADS) on G2/M arrest in Chk1/MGC803 and Chk2/MGC803 cells so as to establish stable human gastric cancer MGC803 cells with overexpression of Chk1/2 gene. Methods The colony formation, flow cytometry, RT-PCR and Western blot were used to de-tect the proliferation, cell cycle, and expression of Chk1/2 mRNA and protein, p-Chk1/2, CDC25C and cyclinB1, respectively. Results The colony formation showed that the colony forming efficiency in Chk1/MGC803 and Chk2/MGC803 cells treated by 30 mg· L-1 DADS was lower than in control group and vector group ( P <0. 05 ) . Flow cytometry demonstrated that 41. 3%, 57. 4%, 68. 9% and 42. 9% of G2/M cells in Chk1/MGC803 were increased than in MGC803 and Chk2/MGC803 , respectively after treated by DADS in 12,24, 36 and 48 h(P <0. 05). At the same time, RT-PCR disclosed that expression of Chk1 and Chk2 mRNA had no marked change. Western blot showed that total proteins of Chk1 and Chk2 and p-Chk2 had invisible change, but expression of p-Chk1 was up-reg-ulated, and CDC25C and cyclinB1 were down-regula-ted time-dependently in Chk1/MGC803 cells ( P <0. 05 ) . Conclusion DADS arrests MGC803 cells at G2/M by increasing p-Chk1 expression to cause down-regulation of CDC25C and cyclinB1 simultaneously.

Objective To investigate the elinieopathologie features of refractory epilepsy. Methods The clinical and pathologic features of refractory epilepsy of 273 cases undergoing surgical treatment in Xuanwu Hospital from January 2005 to December 2007 were reviewed retrospectively. Results The mean age of seizure onset and disease duration were 11.0 years and 11.2 years respectively. The following pathologic subgroups were identified: malformation of cortical development (MCD, 158/273) including focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type Ⅰ (104, the mean age of seizure onset and disease duration were 11.1 years and 11.2 years respectively), FCD type Ⅱ (30, the mean age of seizure onset and disease duration were 7. 9 years and 12. 7 years respectively) , mild MCD (6) , tuberous sclerosis complex (6) and other types (9) , brain turnouts (26/273, the mean age of seizure onset and disease duration were 14. 5 years and 6. 3 years respectively), ulegyria (63/273), brain infections (13/273), vascular malformation (3/273), cyst (3/273), cholesteatoma (1/273) and other unknown types (6/273). Dual pathology was identified in 31 of 158 MCD cases. Eighty-six of 134 (64. 2%) FCD cases were type Ⅰ B predominantly seen in temporal lobe. Twenty of 26 (76. 9%) brain tumours were mixed neuronal-glial tumours predominantly located in temporal lobe. Cortical dysplasia was often seen in these cases. Conclusions The 3 most common causes of refractory epilepsy are MCD, ulegyria and brain tumours. The predominant subtype of FCD is type Ⅰ B often located in temporal lobe, in which associated hippoeampal sclerosis is often seen. Brain tumors in patients with refractory epilepsy are almost benign neoplasms located in temporal lobe, in which the most frequent type is mixed neuronal-glial tumour.
