Objective To evaluate the the safety and efficiency of precise liver resection for patients with primary liver cancer. Methods 86 patients with primary liver cancer were randomized to receive conventional routine hepatectomy (n=44) or the precise liver resection (n=42). Outcomes were compared between the precise hepatectomy group and the routine group, including, the blood loss, operation time, morbidity and mortality. Results There were significant differences in morbidity rates (7.1% vs. 20.5%; P<0.001), the blood loss [(320±315) ml vs. (613±526) ml;P<0.001) , postoperative alanine aminotransferase (ALT) value (in postoperation 7 d, 82.7 U/L vs.321.7 U/L; P<0.001) and length of hospital stay (12.3 d vs. 18.6 d; P<0.001) between precise hepatectomy and routine groups. The 1 year tumor recurrence rate and 1 year survival rate were 26.2%(11/42) and 78.6% (33/42) in precise liver resection group, 38.6% (17/44) and 65.9%(29/44) in routine liver resection group,with significant difference (P=0.010;P=0.018). Conclusion Precise liver resection is safe and effective in the treatment of liver tumor without much injury to patients.

The possibility of polyoxymethylene (POM) as heart valve leaflet material was investigated by comparing the hemocompatibility with that of 316L stainless steel and low-temperature isotropic pyrolytic carbon (LTIC). Surface hydrophobicity was characterized by water contact angle measurement. Platelet adhesion, APTT/PT/TT and hemolysis rate tests were applied for evaluating hemocompatibility. The results showed that POM was hydrophobic and had a low hemolytic rate, adhesion amount and activation degree of platelets on POM surface were less than 316L stainless steel, and was similar to LTIC. This research pointed out potential application of POM as heart valve leaflets.

Objective: To study the impact of interferon-inducible protein 16 (IFI16) inhibition on apoptosis of human aortic adventitial fibroblasts (HAAFs). Methods: Our research included 3 groups: ① IFI16-siRNA group, specific small interference RNAs (siRNAs) of IFI16 were transfected into HAAFs in vitro to make IFI16 gene silence, ②Con-siRNA group, non-specific siRNAs were transfected into HAAFs as negative control and ③Untreated HAAFs group, blank control. HAAFs cell cycle and apoptosis rate were examined by flow cytometry, IFI16 mRNA expression was measured by real time qRT-PCR, protein expressions of IFI16, p53, p21, Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot analysis. Results: Compared with Con-siRNA group and Untreated HAAFs group, IFI16-siRNA group showed decreased apoptosis rate of HAAFs (3.33±0.41) % vs (7.42±1.51) % and (6.49±1.10) %, P<0.05, reduced ratio of G0/G1 phase cells (56.64 ± 4.77 ) % vs (69.67±3.54) % and (68.29±4.14) %, P<0.05, while increased ratio of S phase cells (25.23±5.19)% vs (13.76±2.07) % and (14.04±3.00) %, P<0.05. Meanwhile, IFI16-siRNA group presented down-regulated IFI16 mRNA and protein expressions, decreased protein levels of p53, p21, Bax and increased protein level of Bcl-2, all P<0.05. Conclusion: Inhibited IFI16 expression could decrease HAAFs apoptosis, promote cell cycle transition from G1 to S phase which might be related to the suppression of p53/p21 signaling pathway and regulation of Bax/Bcl-2 expression.

Objective To explore the correlative factors and management of secondary high intraocular pressure(IOP) after vitreoretinal surgery for proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR). Methods The data of 51 patients(54 eyes) with PDR after vitreoretinal surgery were collected.The incidence of secondary high IOP was obtained,and the correlative factors leading to high IOP were analysed.Besides,the therapeutic effects of management were observed. Results Twenty-six patients(26 eyes) experienced postoperative high IOP,with the incidence of 48.15%(26/54).It was revealed that the preoperative retinal detachment,the combined performance of crystal phacoemulsification,the practice of intraocular tamponade and the postoperative posterioruveitis were related to the occurrence of high IOP(P

Objective To evaluate hepatectomy for liver metastasis in breast cancer patients. Methods From May 1997 to May 2000, 18 primary breast cancer patients with metachronous liver metastases underwent hepatectomy. The clinicopathologic features and surgical results were analyzed. Results The actuarial 1,3-year survival rates after hepatic resection were 100% and 83. 3% for patients with solitary metastasis, and 90.9% and 54.5% for those with multiple foci. Conclusions Posthepatectomy long term survival was correlated with the number of foci in postmastectomy breast cancer patients suffering from heterochronous liver metastasis. Tumor size and TNM stage of breast cancer were not correlated with the survival. Aggressive surgery helps to prolong the survival.
