Objective To inve stigate in vestigate the effects of splenectomy on the expression of the PTEN gene in liver fibrosis of rats induced by biliary tract obstruction.Methods The liver fibrosis model was induced by bile duct ligation.Rats were randomly divided into 3 groups.Group A had bile duct ligation + splenectomy (BDL + SPL,45 rats),group B had bile duct ligation + spleen sham operation (BDL + SSP,45 rats),and group C had sham bile duct ligation + spleen sham operation (SBDL + SSP,45 rats).Liver tissue samples from each group were taken in weeks 1,3,and 5.HE and Sirius staining displayed the degree of liver fibrosis.Western-blot,real-time PCR,and immunohistochemistry SP measured the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) together with the expression of PTEN mRNA and PTEN protein.The relevance was also tested in this study.Results As time increased,liver fibrosis gradually occurred in group A and B,and the degree of liver fibrosis was more serious in group B than in group A.The expression volume of PTEN mRNA and PTEN protein in group A was higher than that in group B (P < 0.05),while the expression volume of α-SMA was the opposite (P < 0.05).The expression volume of PTEN mRNA and PTEN protein were negatively correlated to α-SMA (r =-0.86,P < 0.05).Conclusion In the rat liver fibrosis model,splenectomy up-regulated the expression of the PTEN gene and reduced the secretion of α-SMA,thereby delaying the progression of liver fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)one-stage approach in the treatment of gallstones complicated with calculus of common bile duct in a hybrid operating room.Methods 21 patients with gallstones complicated with calculus of common bile duct were selected to undergoing ERCP bile duct stone removal under total intravenous anesthesia or combined intravenous and inhalation anesthesia,followed by LC.Results 18 successfully completed the one-stage surgery of ERCP combined with LC,3 were changed to laparoscopic common bile duct exploration(LCBDE),there was no laparotomy,8 cases were complicated by hyperamylemia after surgery,and there were no serious complications such as pancreatitis,gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation.Conclusion It is safe and feasible to use ERCP combined with LC one-stage approach to treat gallstones complicated with calculus of common bile duct in the hybrid operating room,which simplifies the surgical process.

Objective To explore the effect of targeted silencing wild-type p53-induced phosphatase 1(Wip1)on paclitaxel(PTX)chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer cell line A2780.Methods The ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 served as the research object,the stable cell line Wip1-sgRNA with low expression of Wip1 was constructed by infecting cell line A2780 with lentivirus(Wip1-sgRNA group),while the control cell line was NC-sgRNA(NC-sgRNA group).The cells were treated with PTX at appropriate time and divided into the Wip1-sgRNA+PTX group and NC-sgRNA+PTX group.The CCK8 method was used to detect the cell proliferation ability,the flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis,and the Transwell invasion assay was used to detect the cell invasion ability.Results Compared with the NC-sgRNA group,the expression lev-els of Wip1 mRNA and protein in the Wip1-sgRNA group were significantly down-regulated(P<0.001).Un-der the condition of PTX gradient treatment for the same time,the cell survival rate of the Wip1-sgRNA group was significantly lower than that of the NC-sgRNA group(P<0.001).The half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)of PTX in cells of the Wip1-sgRNA group at 48 h was significantly lower than that of the NC-sgRNA group(P<0.001).Compared with the NC-sgRNA group,the proliferation ability of the Wip1-sgRNA group was significantly weakened(P<0.001),the rate of cellular apoptosis was significantly in-creased(P<0.001),and the number of transmenbrane cells was significantly decreased(P<0.001).After PTX treatment,the proliferation ability was weakened compared with corresponding control groups,the rate of cellular apoptosis was significantly increased,and the number of transmenbrane cells was significantly de-creased;additionally,compared with the NC-sgRNA+PTX group,the cellular proliferation ability of the Wip1-sgRNA+PTX group was significantly weakened(P<0.001),the rate of cellular apoptosis was signifi-cantly increased(P<0.001),and the number of transmenbrane cells was significantly decreased(P<0.001).Conclusion Wip1 gene silencing could increase the chemosensitivity of human ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 to PTX.
