Objective:To study the prevention methods of radiation caries for the patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma receiving radiotherapy. Methods:Seventy-five patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma received dental check and treatment before radiotherapy. They also received the instructions on preventive oral hygiene. After radiotherapy, the patients were followed up.Results:Fifty patients were followed up for 1-3 years. Radiation caries was observed in 4 cases with poor oral hygiene habit. Conclusion:A comprehensive regime of dental care can prevent radiation caries effectively.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of intraoperative iodine-125 seed implanttation in treating pancreatic carcinoma. Methods Seventy-five patients (fourty-one men, thirty-four women;median age 54 years) with pancreatic adenocarcinoma were enrolled into the study. Thirty-one patients (group A) were accepted tumor resection,eighteen patients(group B) were implanted radioactive iodine-125 seeds into the tumors by a combination of bypass surgery, twenty-six patients(group C) were treated by bypass surgery.Results Sixty-seven patients were followed up. The median survival time was 19, 12 and 7 months in group A,B,C respectively, among which the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.05). The response rate(CR+PR) was 50 % and the effective rate of pain relieving was 80% in the group B. The 97.4 % of accordance rate of seed number was demonstrated by CT film, but the accordance rate of seed space distribution was only 56 %.Conclusion At present, the active resection of the pancreatic carcinoma, including the superior mesenteric vein and the retropancreatic fusion fascia, is essential for a curative resection. The combination of Intraoperative iodine-125 brachytherapy and bypass surgery is safe and effective for pancreatic carcinoma.The seed space distribution completed by seed computer therapeutic plan needs further study.

Method of isolation and purification of recombinant hepcidin was described, and the bioactivity of the protein was assayed in this paper.The oxidation of his-hepcidin was carried out in the cysteine-cystine system, and the multimers were removed through gel filtration under denaturation condition.Then the protein was refolded by continuous dilution and digested by enterokinase.The total yield of his-hepcidin before enterokinase cleavage is 50%, and the purity is above 95%.Through agar diffusion assay, the recombinant hepcidin displayed obvious antibacterial activity against B.subtilis.The LC-ESI-MS analysis of recombinant hepcidin showed that the measured molecular weight accorded with the calculated molecular weight, and the CD spectrum indicated that the secondary structure of recombinant hepcidin is similar with native hepcidin.

Objective To analyze the significant impact factors of postoperative hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Method The clinical data of 154 patients who underwent pancreatieoduodeneetomy from Jan.2009 to Jun.2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The incidence of postoperative hemorrhage was 10.4％ (16/154).The mortality caused by this complication was 12.5％ (2/16).Among these patients,intra-abdominal hemorrhage occurred in seven patients,and gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in nine patients.One patient suffered from both these complications.There were five and two patients presenting with early or delayed intra-abdominal hemorrhage,respectively.Early and delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in three and six patients,respec tively.Statistical analysis showed that infection (P=0.002,P＜ 0.01) and pancreatic fistula (P=0.048,P＜0.05) are significantly associated with postoperative hemorrhage.Conclusions Postoperative hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy is a severe complication.Adequate hemostasis and prevention of pancreatic fistula and infection are the key points in reducing postoperative hemorrhage.Proper treatments should be used according to the site,type of onset and severity of hemorrhage.

Objective To study the relationship between graft injury and expression of redox factor-1 in early period after liver transplantation in rats. Methods One hundred and fifty adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: liver transplant group, sham surgery group and control group. Animals were sacrificed in each group at different time points: 3,6,9, 12,24 hour after liver transplantation. The changes and significance of the expression of Ref-1 were explored by immunohistochemistry, serology and histopathology. Results Compared with sham surgery group and control group, the expression of Ref-1 protein in transplant group was higher than that in other two groups in early period after liver transplantation ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). In pathology there were lots of inflammation cells infiltration around the portal veins, and cell damage of hepatic tissue, while that in sham surgery and control group was comparatively slight. Serum ALT and AST values reached the peak at 6 ～ 12 h, and decreaced significantly after 12 h ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions Graft injury after liver transplantation during early period reaches peak at 6 hour and then decreased. Hepatic ischemic reperfusion injury promotes Ref-1 expression, which in turn compensates for programme cell death induced by the injury.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk factors of broad-spectrum antibiotic usage more than for two weeks and primary pulmonary disease as a risk factor of nosocomial infections. METHODS A retrieval report which used retrospective case control study to analyze the two risk factors of fungi nosocomial infection was reviewed. Fixed effect model or stochastic effect model were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Three retrospective case control studyies were investigated. The primary pulmonary disease exposure rate was significantly higher than control group. Broad-spectrum antibiotic usage exposure rate had not significant difference. CONCLUSIONS Broad-spectrum antibiotic more than two weeks isn′t a risk factor but primary pulmonary disease is the risk factor for fungi nosocomial infection.
