Objective To investigate the influence of MDR polymorphism on CsA-associated hepatotoxicity. Methods PCR/RFLP was used to analyze the genotypes of MDR exon26 in 187 recipients. CsA-associated hepatotoxicity was evaluated among groups being classified according to the genotypes. Results MDR exon26 takes 3 genotypes:CC,CT and TT, in the following ratio: 29.4%(55/187), 40.1%(75/187), 30. 5%(57/187). Among the same range of whole blood CsA concentration, incidence of CsA-associated hepatotoxicity is markedly higher in the CT/TT group than that in in patients with CsA-associated hepatotoxicity between the CC group and the CT/TT group is signifiimportant role in the development of CsA-associated hepatotoxicity.

Objective To investigate the etiology of early postoperative hyperbilirubinemia after liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 87 cases of liver transplantation and the etiology of early postoperative hyperbilirubinemia after liver transplantation were analyzed.Results The incidence of early postoperative hyperbilirubinemia after liver transplantation was(52.87 %).In 21 postoperative complications,17((80.95 %)) were associated with hyperbilirubinemia.The causes of hyperbilirubinemia were as follows in turn: ischemic-reperfusion injury(n=(25,28.73 %)),complications of(common) bile duct(n=23,(26.44 %));acute rejection(n=19,(21.84 %));others(n=13,(14.94 %)).(Conclusions) The early postoperative hyperbilirubinemia is the most common clinical manifestation in(patients) undergoing liver transplantation and can be taken as a reliable clinical mark for the postoperative complications and liver functions.The etiology of early postoperative hyperbilirubinemia after liver transplantation is very complicated.Early diagnosis and treatment is helpful to improve the survival of patients undergoing liver transplantation.

Objective To apply Gukang gold far-infrared magnetic therapeutic paste to the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.Methods 64 cases of lateral epicondylitis patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,each with 32 ones.The subjects from the treatment group were treated with Gukang gold far-infrared magnetic therapeutic paste,and the remained with ibuprofen sustained-release capsules.The results after one and two courses were analyzed statistically.Results After two-course treatment,the patient from the treatment group had an higher improvement rate than the others from the control group,with a P value less than 0.05.The treatment course of the treatment group was shorter than that of the control group,with a P value less than 0.05.Conclusion When compared with ibuprofen sustainedrelease capsule,Gukang gold far-infrared magnetic therapeutic paste is more effective for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of EN,PN support on postoperative recovery of (patients) with portal hypertension. Methods 135 patients with portal hypertension who underwent (esophagogastric) devasularization were randomly divided into three groups:EN,PN and control group. (Postoperatively), EN and PN nutritional support and routine fluid replacement therapy was respectively given to the 3 groups. Several clinical and laboratory parameters were studied in order to determine the therapeutic effect of the two different forms of nutrition.Results Nutritional status and immunological function of patients were improved in both EN and PN study groups but with no significant difference, while alterations in liver function and incidence of abdominal infection were higher in PN group. Conclusions EN is an optimal form of nutritional support for patients with portal hypertension after operation.

Objective To investigate the alteration of lymphocyte P-gp expression level and function in liver transplant recipient and its effect on immunosuppressive therapy.Methods Using flow cytometry,the level of lymphocyte P-gp and analyzed the P-gp function in 53 cases of liver transplant recipieints was observed.Results Among 53 cases,the preoperative mean level of lymphocyte P-gp was(10.34?4.0)%,P-gp level began to increase in the 1st month postoperatively(17.8?8.0)%,peaked in the 3rd month(27.5?13.3)%,and then was stable at this level thereafter.There were no significantly difference between different sex of age group.But the P-gp level in CD+4T cells was significantly higher than that in CD+8T cells and B cells,RH123test showed that high P-gp expression of lymphocyte enhanced its transport activity of medical agents,and decreased the intracellular accumulation of drug more significantly than that of low P-gp expression(P

AIM: To explore the effect of atorvastatin on cardiac remodeling in spontaneous hypertension rats(SHR).METHODS: Twelve spontaneous hypertension rats were divided randomly into two groups: group of atorvastatin(atorvastatin 50 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)) and group of SHR(0.5% mucilage of arabic gum,10 mL?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)).Additionally,six male Wistar-Kyoto rats(0.5% mucilage of arabic gum,10 mL?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)) were selected as control group.Systolic blood pressure was assessed with the tail-cuff method.After six weeks,entire heart,and left ventricle were weighed.The left ventricular weight index was calculated and myocardial hydroxyproline and collagen protein concentration were measured.The serum high sensitivity CRP(hs-CRP) was measured by nephelometry.The localization of vascular cell adhesion molecule(VCAM) in myocardium was investigated by immunohistochemistry assays.The level of NF-?B mRNA expression was detected with in situ hybridization.Ultrastructure in cardiac muscle was also observed under transmission electron microscope.RESULTS: The expression of myocardial VCAM and NF-?B in SHR group was stronger than that in WHY group.Compared with SHR group,entire heart weight,left ventricular weight,left ventricular weight index,serum hs-CRP,myocardial hydroxyproline and collagen protein concentration was decreased,the expression of myocardial VCAM and NF-?B in SHR group was weaker than that in atorvastatin treatment group.The myocardial pathological change such as incomplete karyotheca in cardiac muscle cells,no clear of transverse striation and the mess in myofibril alignment,and hyperplasy in interstitial collagen fibre were observed in SHR group and these changes were improved in atorvastatin treatment group.CONCLUSION: The cardiac remodeling in SHR is improved by atorvastatin.The molecular mechanism may be related to its down-regulating the expression of VCAM protein and NF-?B and inhibiting myocardial chronic inflammation.

In order to explore the scientific connotation of "Fangzhengduiying (formula corresponding to pattern types)", "Qiyinliangxuzheng (Qi and Yin deficiency pattern)" of myocardial ischemia rat model and GC-TOF/MS based metabonomic method were used for comparing the effects of Sheng-mai injection, Salvia injection and propranolol in the present study. After data processing and pattern recognition, Sheng-mai injection showed better efficacy than the other two drugs in accordance with not only visual observation from PLS-DA scores plots but also the number of abnormal endogenous compounds restored to the normal level. Further studies showed that Sheng-mai injection could normalize the level of plasma endothelin-1, the index related to cardiovascular diseases and sleep disorders, which verified the results of metabonomics. Finally, the regulated metabolites and related metabolic pathways were analyzed, and it was supposed that the effects of Sheng-mai injection involved in the alternation of energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acids metabolism, and so on. These findings provided scientific evidence to Shengmai "Fang" used for "Qi and Yin deficiency pattern" correspondingly, indicating that metabonomics has great potential in traditional Chinese medical research, which provides a novel approach and way to modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To investigate the impact of intermittent porta hepatis occlusion on postoperative intra-hepatic recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of 335 patients who underwent partial hepatectomy.The patients were classified into 2 groups:(1) the study group (n=97):porta hepatis was occluded with intermittent Pringle maneuver with 2-3 cycles of clamp/unclamp time of 15 min/5 min,repeated 2-3cycles; (2) the control group (n=238):including using Pringle maneuver,preconditioning occlusion of porta hepatis and selective occlusion of portal blood inflow.Patients were followed-up in the Outpatient Department once every 2-3 weeks in the 1st year,and once every 3-6 weeks in the 2nd year with US/CT/MRI and serum AFP test.The mean duration of follow-up was 26.5 months.Results The perioperative mortality was 1.8％ (6/335).Tumour recurrence in the study group was 31.6％ and 48.4％ in the 1st and 2nd year,respectively.The recurrence rates were significantly higher,than the 21.4％ and 38.0％ in the control group (P＜0.05).To exclude the miscellaneous factors which were involved in intra-hepatic recurrence of HCC,we set up 3 criteria to include patients for subgroup analysis:tumor ≥5 cm; serum AFP decreased to normal level within 4 weeks; negative intra-operative US scan.The number of patients included were 79 and 155 in the study and the control groups,respectively.There were significant differences in recurrence rate between the study and the control groups in the 1st and 2nd year (29.1％ vs 18.7％,46.8％ vs 35.5％,P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in overall survival rate between the two groups.Conclusions Intermittent porta hepatis occlusion is a risk factor of postoperative intra hepatic recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of surgical treatment of scapular body complicated fractures with reverse Judet operation approach.Methods:A retrospective review was made on 36 patients with scapular body complicated fractures from Jan. 2013 to Jan. 2019. All the fractures were type Ⅳ according to Miller ME classification. There were 29 males and 7 females, at mean age of 46 years(ranged from 20 to 63 years). High energy traffic injury occurred in 13 patients, high fall injury in 8 patients, heavy pound in 3 patients.CT scan and 3D reconstruction were performed before operation, to expose the scapula with reverse Judet approach and do the internal fixation operation with reconstruction plate. Instructed the patients in functional exercises and clinic effects. All patients were followed up after operation. Twenty patients with scapular body complicated fractures from Jan. 2013 to Jan. 2019 treated by classic Judet approach operation were control analysised, compared the operation time, blood less, Incision healing and the shoulder function score after 1 year postoperation.Results:One-stage incision healing were achieved in all 36 patients, no infection and necrosis occurred in the muscle and skin flaps, all patients were followed up for 1 to 6 years(mean 3.8 years). According to Hardegger evaluation standard, 28 cases were excellent, 8 cases were good, the excellent and good rate was 100%. Opteration time and blood loss were less than those in classic Judet group, the differences were significant( P<0.001). Conclusion:For the surgical treatment of complicated fractures, reverse Judet approach that muscle flap and skin flap separated is feasible, the operation is simple, which can obviously shorten the operation time and blood loss, sufficient exposure is good for the reduction and stable fixation of fractures in the operation, early functional exercise can be proformed after operation, reverse Judet approach is a safe and efficient choice for the surgical treatment of scapular body complicated fractures.

OBJECTIVETo understand the epidemiological profiles of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and the major enteroviruses causing the epidemics of HFMD in Shanghai from 2010 to 2014.

METHODThe city-wide surveillance data between 2010 and 2014 were used to analyze the epidemiologic characteristics of the HFMD outbreaks in Shanghai. The annual incidence of HFMD was estimated based on the 2010 Shanghai Census data.

RESULTFrom 2010 to 2014, the reported HFMD cases were 41 080, 37 323, 51 172, 42 198, and 65 018, respectively; the severe cases (case-severity ratio) were 469 (1.14%), 456 (1.22%), 318 (0.62%), 104 (0.25%) and 248 (0.38%), respectively. Based on Shanghai census data by the end of 2010, the attack rates of HFMD in Shanghai were 0.16%-0.28% in the entire population. In terms of the proportion of HFMD cases and severe cases in the specific population, male accounted for 59.62%-61.48% and 62.26%-73.08%, migrant population accounted for 51.86%-62.40% and 72.01%-80.38%; children aged 1.0-1.9 years comprised the highest proportion, up to 22.70%-27.00% and 32.08%-36.40%. HFMD peaked from April to July, in parallel with the peak circulation of enterovirus (EV) 71, and a small peak usually occurred in autumn and winter. All the critically severe and fatal cases were caused by EV71. The detection rates of EV71 and Coxsackievirus A (CA) 16 were 73.08%-88.09% and 1.12%-2.90% in severe HFMD cases, 19.75%-48.74% and 2.02%-23.69% in uncomplicated inpatients, and 16.78%-40.08% and 8.36%-33.39% in mild community cases, respectively. The detection rates of CA6 and CA10 in the mild community cases in 2014 were 18.38% and 1.43%, respectively. In 2013 non-EV71 and non-CA16 enteroviruses comprised 74.86% in the community cases.

CONCLUSIONThe annual HFMD outbreaks occurred in Shanghai during 2010-2014. Children under 5 years of age, migrant population and male were the major susceptible population. EV71 and CA16 were the predominant pathogens causing the epidemics of HFMD except in 2013, and CA6 was prevalent in the community cases in 2014. The major peak season of HFMD usually overlapped with the peak of EV71 circulation and the majority of severe HFMD cases were associated with EV71 infection.
