Chinese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 1995;0(05):-
Objective: To explore the characteristics of cell adhesion molecules (sICAM-1, sP-selectin) changes on inflammatory response during cardiopulmonary bypass, and observe the effect of intervention therapy with ligustrazine on changes of cell adhesion molecules. Methods: 32 cases of congenital heart disease were divided at random into ligustrazine group (20 cases) and control group (12 cases). Ligustrazine (5mg/kg) were added to extracorporeal circulation machine in ligustrazine group. In each group, arterial blood samples were taken at the following time-points after induction of anesthesia, 15 minutes after the start of CPB, and 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours after CPB. sICAM-1, sP-selection was measured by double antibodies sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Plasma levels of both adhesion molecules in both groups at baseline were in normal ranges. After CPB, levels of adhesion molecules were significantly increased in both groups. The plasma levels of sICAM-1, sP-selectin in control group were higher than in ligustrazine group (P

As an important clinical mode, the disease-syndrome-efficacy integration is a development trend of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine combination. The mode combined comprehensive effica-cy evaluation based on disease-syndrome integration is able to highlight advantages of TCM clinical diagnosis and treatment. With the status of disease-syndrome and effects of Chinese herbal medicine treatments, the en-dogenous metabolites and metabolic network of body changed in the systemic level. According to the analysis of these metabolic changes by metabolomic technologies, it is helpful to investigate the essence of disease-syndrome and explain the mechanism of Chinese herbal medicine actions. This review summarized the current applications of metabolomics in the area of disease-syndrome-efficacy integration research . Metabolomics applied in the disease-syndrome-efficacy integration research is helpful to facilitate the development of TCM and western medicine combination .

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of Doppler ultrasound (BUS), computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods A total of 74 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis who received a liver transplantation was included in this study. We compared the postoperative pathological results with preoperative imaging findings (BUS, CT, and MRI). An assessment was made in respect of the accuracy in tumor size (a diagnostic accordance was defined as

Objective To investigate the long term result of orthotopic liver transplantation for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, and to evaluate the predictability of Pittsburg scoring system. Methods 46 patients of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma received orthotopic liver transplantation in our center during October 2000 to December 2004. Data were collected and the 1-year and 3-year survival rates, were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method. Based on the Pittsburg Scoring System, all cases were divided into 4 groups. The length of survival of each group was observed respectively, and differences were compared with Log-rank test. Results 3-year survival rate and tumor-free rate of all 46 patients were 46.7% and 38.8%, respectively. The mean tumor-free time was 27.7 months, and the mean survival time was 32.5 months. Among the 4 groups, no death or tumor relapse was detected in cases of grade 1 and grade 2 (group I) up to the present, whereas the 1-year tumor-free rate of grade 5(group IV) patients was only 12.5%, and no patient survived over 2 years. The 1-year and 3-year tumor-free rate among grade 3 and 4 (group II and III) patients were both about 65% and 40%, the mean tumor free time was about 32.5 and 24.3 months respectively, and there was no significant difference between 2 groups. In these two groups, the longest tumor free time was 58 months. Conclusions Some of the patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma still have the chance to survive tumor-free for a long time after liver transplantation. Pittsburg scoring system has more predictability than Milan criteria, especially in cases of grade 1, 2 and 5, but not so satisfactory in cases of grade 3 and 4.

Objective To study perioperative managements and clinical outcome of liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma with thrombosis and cancer emboli in portal vein.Methods From July 2000 to December 2002, 10 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma having thrombosis or cancer emboli in portal vein before operation were subjected to orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in our hospital. Nine patients underwent anastomosis of low portal vein by end-to-end method after cleaning the thrombosis and emboli, and one underwent cavoportal hemitransposition.Results Nine of the 10 patients recovered without recurrence of portal thrombosis. One died of portal thrombosis recurrence on the 8th postoperative day and one died of infection on the 60th postoperative day. During the follow-up period of 3 to 31 months, hepatocellular cancer recurred in 7, 12, 13 and 25 months after operations in 4 patients. The remaining 4 patients survived without tumor recurrence.Conclusion Portal thrombosis and cancer emboli are not the absolute contraindications in liver transplantation. Appropriate managements can get satisfactory results.

In this study , the analysis of systems biology was carried out for TCM syndrome classification in chronic hepatitis B and posthepatitic cirrhosis . The relationship between TCM syndrome classification and genetic polymorphism , the difference of genes and protein expression profiles , the difference of urine metabolite , and the molecular mechanism of Different TCM Syndrome for Same Disease and Same TCM Syndrome for Different Diseaseswere discussed . The results showed that there are molecular biological basis in TCM syndrome classification in hepatitis B and posthepatitic cirrhosis . The systems biology based syndrome identification methods may be bene-ficial to form a new classification , and provide reference for the diagnosis and individual therapy of hepatitis B and posthepatitic cirrhosis .

Objective To observe the preventive and therapeutic effect of Chinese herbal medicine film µwave irradiation on mammary hyperplasia in rats. Methods Rat models of experimental mammary hyperplasia were established by intramuscular injection of estrogen and a small quantity of progestin. Two weeks after modeling, the rats were treated with Chinese herbal medicine film µwave irradiation. Before and after the treatment, mammary diameter of the second nipples were measured, serum concentrations of estrogen (E2), progesterone (P) and prolactin (PRL) were determined by radioimmunoassay,pathological changes of mammary hyperplasia were examined under microscope,and the rate of mammary hyperplasia was measured. Results Chinese herbal medicine film markedly inhibited experimental mammary hyperplasia in rats,and the rate of mammary hyperplasia were 23.4 %in medicine film group and 20.9 %in medicine film µwave irradiation group respectively. Medicine film regulated the concentrations of estrogen and progestin,reduced the level of PRL and alleviated the pathological severity of mammary hyperplasia obviously. Conclusion Chinese herbal medicine film µwave irradiation have certain preventive and therapeutic effect on mammary hyperplasia in rats.
