Digestive tract reconstruction is the main part of gastrointestinal surgery. With the rapid development of technology and widely application in stapling device, more and more surgeons are using stapled anastomosis. Stapled anastomosis is associated with shorter operating time and hospital stay than hand-sewn anastomosis. However, it is not easy to select suitable ones from various staplers and use them correctly. Choice and reasonable application of staplers for anastomosis in gastrointestinal surgery are summarized and evaluated in this article.

Objective: To construct the recombinant lentiviral vector expressing specific shRNA of p120 catenin gene, and to identify the RNA interference efficiency by infecting PANC-1 cells. Methods: Three pairs of shRNA targeting p120ctn mRNA were designed, synthesized and ligated into enzyme-digested and linearized pGCSIL-GFP lentiviral vectors. The recombinant lentiviral vectors were co-transfected with the pGC-FU-p120ctn-3FLAG containing p120ctn gene into 293T cells after identification by PCR and sequencing analysis. Western blotting analysis was applied to select the most effective shRNA. Recombined lentivirus was packaged and the concentration of the virus titer was measured. Real-time PCR and Western blotting analysis were used to identify the interference efficiency after infection of the PANC-1 cells by recombined lentivirus. Results: PCR and DNA sequencing analysis confirmed that p120ctn-shRNA-LV was successfully constructed and the concentration of the virus titer was 3×109TU/ml. Real-time PCR showed that expression of p120ctn mRNA was decreased by 82.6% in PANC-1 cells infected with the recombined lentivirus (P<0.05). Western blotting analysis showed that the expression of p120ctn protein was also greatly deceased after infection. Conclusion: We have successfully constructed lentiviral vector expressing shRNA of p120 catenin gene, and this lays a foundation for studying the role of p120ctn in invasion and metastasis of pancreatic carcinoma.

Hepatic artery stricture (HAS) after liver transplantation can lead directly to transplanted liver function exhaustion and complications of biliary system. The early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for better prognosis. Doppler ultrasound is the first method of choice, and angiography can give further clear dignosis. The balloon dilatation is still effective for hepatic arterial stenosis. With the more adaptable usage of oronary stent, if possible, would reveal more promising result especially for tortuous stenotic hepatic artery. The vascular reconstruction or repeated liver transplantation is still the effective therapeutic methods.

Objective To explore the change characteristics of physiological indexes between infants and children during living-donor liver transplantation and discuss methods of regulation and control.Method In this study,42 patients were selected and assigned into two groups according to age:infants group (＜1 year,n =25),and children group (1-16 years,n =17).The preoperative and peri-operative characteristics,intra-operative operation conditions,internal environment changes before and after re-perfusion,postoperative mechanical ventilation time,ICU time,hospital time,infection rate,additional surgery,complications and survival were analyzed.Result PELD (MELD) score,historical surgery rate and hematokrit were lower in children group than in infants group (P＜ 0.05).Serum creatinine and lactate concentrations increased significantly in children group as compared with infants group (P＜0.05).Intra-operative an-hepatic phase and cold ischemia time were shortened significantly (P ＜ 0.05),and incidence rate of re-perfusion syndrome was reduced in children group as compared with infants group (P＜0.05).As compared with pre-re-perfusion,blood lactate concentrations were significantly raised only in infants group and glucose concentrations significantly raised only in children group (P＜0.05).The blood levels of K + were decreased after reperfusion in both two groups,and those in infants group were lower than in children group (P＜ 0.05).Postoperative intensive care unit time was longer in children group than in infants group (P＜ 0.05),and there was no significant difference in survival rate between two groups.Conclusion There are many differences and change characteristics to physiological indexes between infants and children during the operation of living-donor liver transplantation.Timely management and regulation are critical for the success of surgery according to the differences.

Aim Toinvestigatetheeffectofrecombi-nant snake venom metalloproteinase inhibitor (rSVM-PI ) on neovascularization and its molecular mecha-nism.Methods Chickenchorioallantoicmembrane (CAM)assay was used to examine the antiangiogenic effect of rSVMPI.Alamar blue analysis was used to de-tect cell proliferation.Annexin V-FITC double labeling flow cytometry was used to assay cell apoptosis. Scratch marker was used to assay cell migration.Boy-den chamber analysis method was used to detect cells chemotaxis in vitro.Tube like structure(TLS)of HU-VECs was used to detect the ability of neovasculariza-tion in vitro.Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to assay the expressions of KDR and FGFR-1 inHUVECs. Results Thevasculardensityindex (VDI)of CAM was drastically decreased after rSVMPI treatment, chemotaxis of HUVECs in response of VEGF was inhibited in the presence of rSVMPI,TLS of HUVECs was less than control group.The expres-sions of KDR and FGFR-1 were down-regulated by re-al-timePCRandWesternblotassay.Conclusion rS-VMPI may inhibit neovascularization by blocking the VEGF-KDR or bFGF-FGFR signal transduction path-way.

The process of U(VI) biosorption by freshwater algae Chlorella pyrenoidosa and its absorption mechanism, absorption thermodynamics and absorption kinetics were investigated in this paper. The effects of pH, contact time, initial U(VI) concentration and temperature on biosorption were studied respectively. Research result showed that the absorption effect of U(VI) by Chlorella pyrenoidosa was affected by pH value of solution to a great extent, the absorption reached its balance within 5 min with optimal pH value 6 and max absorption quantity 2.7 mg/g. On the other hand, the absorption quantity of U(VI) by Chlorella pyrenoidosa was positively correlated with the initial concentration of U(VI); and the absorption quantity did not fluctuate remarkably when temperature was varied at the range of 20℃ to 30℃. Research result also showed that the process of U(VI) absorption was congruent with the second order kinetic model, and the correlation coefficient was high reaching to 0.99. It was suggested that the U(VI) biosorption by Chlorella pyrenoidosa was a complicated process consisting of many simultaneous reactions and could be described by Languir model quite well.

Objective To investigate predisposing factors for early infection in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.Methods The clinical and laboratory data including age、gender、APACHE Ⅱscore on admission、hemodiastase、mechanical ventilation、blood calcium、mean arterial blood pressure、blood glucose、 alanine aminotransferase、aspartate aminotransferase、total bilirubin、necrosis of the pancreas、hypoxemia、 entero-functional disturbance、etiological factor、serum albumin、serum creatinine、urea nitrogen and haematocrit were analyzed by multiple linear regression in relation with the infection incidence in the 86 SAP patients hospitalized from Jan 2002 to Mar 2007.Results The fasting time、hiliary panereatitis、 hypoxemia、necrosis of pancreas、entero-functional disturbance、serum creatinine、urea nitrogen and haematocrit were positively correlated with the incidence of pancreatic infection(all P

Objective To investigate sonographic patterns of intussusception with relationship to pathologic change,reducibility and ischemia. Methods Twenty-one intussusceptions were surgically induced in rabbits,and in vitro ultrasonography was compared with the corresponding pathologic changes. Ultrasonography findings in 25 cases of pediatric intussusception confirmed by means of air enema examination or surgery were analyzed. Results The results of animal experiment showed that:①when no ischemia of intestine loop occurred,axial images of intussusception showed a "target-like" mass,if ischmia of intestine loop appeared,it demonstrated as a "doughnut-like" mass; ②bowel unviability and reducibility seemed clearly related to the thickness of hypoechoic external rim of the "doughnut" mass and blood flow on color Doppler flow images (CDFI) in intussusceptum. When the flow on CDFI in intussusception was absent,the possibility of bowel necrosis was increased( P
