Objective To study the feasibility of transperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Methods Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was performed according to Montsouris technique. Results All the operations were successfully completed. The operating time was 330~540 min (mean, 433 min) and the estimated blood loss was 100~550 ml (mean, 274 ml). No patients required a blood transfusion. Bladder injury was found in 1 patient and was sutured promptly during the operation. The postoperative hospital stay was 15~23 days (mean, 17 days). The catheterization time was 14~23 days (mean, 16 days). In 2 patients presenting with urinary leakage, the catheter was removed at 20 and 23 days after surgery respectively, while in the remaining 8 patients, at 2 weeks after operation. Mild urinary incontinence occurred in 3 patients and disappeared after 4 weeks of supportive treatment. Pathological examinations revealed stage pT_ 1c) in 3 patients, stage pT_2 in 6, and stage pT_3 in 1. A follow-up for 3~21 months (mean, 7.5 months) was carried out. The postoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was 0~2.70 ?g/L(mean,0.05 ?g/L). Two patients returned a normal sexual function. Conclusions Strict following surgical indications, adequate preoperative preparation, improvement of surgical techniques, and proper application of surgical instruments and devices make transperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy feasible.

Objective To explore the role of CD4+CD25+CD127low/-regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris(PV). Methods Flow cytometry analysis was used to detect the amount of Tregs in peripheral blood and ELISA to test the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β1 in blood serum; the suppressive function of Tregs on autologous CD4+CD25-T cells was determined by MTT method. Results No significant difference was found in the proportion of Tregs in PV patients and healthy controls(P>0.05). There was a diminished suppression of Tregs from patients on autologous CD4+CD25- responder T cell proliferation in PV patients when compared with that in controls (P < 0.01). The serum level of IL-10 in patients was lower than that in controls (P < 0.01) while that of TGF-β1 in PV patients was significantly higher than that in controls(P < 0.01). Conclusion Abnormal function of Tregs and low secretion of IL-10 in PV patients might be related to the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Objective: To explore the effect of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) improving cardiac hypertrophy via inhibiting histone deacetylases (HDAC) in experimental mice and to provide a new idea for prevention and treatment of cardiac hypertrophy. Methods: Cardiac hypertrophy mice model was established by thoracic aorta ligation. A total of 60 Kunming mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: Normal control group, Sham operation group, Cardiac hypertrophy (CH) group and CH+SAHA group. There were 6 mice used in each group. Myocardial cell morphology was observed by HE staining, cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography, mRNA and protein expressions of HDAC5 (the isoform of HDAC) and β-MHC were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Results: The mice in CH group had myocardial cell hypertrophy, disordered arrangement and hyperchromatic nucleus. Compared with Sham operation group, CH group showed decreased left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV) and increased thickness of inter-ventricular septum (IVS), allP<0.05; CH group presented elevated mRNA and protein expressions of HDAC5 and β-MHC,P<0.05. SAHA obviously decreased HDAC5 expression, down regulated cardiac hypertrophy related β-MHC gene expression, improved cardiac function and hypertrophy, all P<0.05. Conclusion: HDAC were involved in myocardial hypertrophy; SAHA could inhibit HDAC expression and therefore,improved myocardial hypertrophy in experimental mice.

Objective Glucose metabolism trend was dynamicly mornitored following liver transplantation, and its affecting factors were assessed. Methods The glucose metabolism status were assessed at four time points respectively after liver transplants, then they were divided into two groups:normal glucose metabolism (NGM) and abnormal glucose metabolism (AGM). The clinical data were univariate analyzed and multivariate analyzed to screen the risk factors. Results At 1 month, 3 months, 1 year and 3 years post-transplantation, the incidence of AGM were 74.0%, 43.9%, 29.4%, 24.1% respectively Between these two groups, age > 45 y had a significant difference at 1 month, 3 months, 1 year and 3years post-transplantation; the use of tacrolimus had a significant difference at 3 months, 1 year and 3years post-transplantation, but the dose of tacrolimus or tacrolimus blood concentration showed no significant difference; high dose of glucocorticoid had significant difference at 1 month , 3 months post-transplantation; high BMI and acute rejection had significant difference at 1 month post-transplantation. Conclusions There is a high incidence of abnormal glucose metabolism (AGM) in the early stage post-transplantation, and a considerable number of patients' glucose metabolism improved in the later period. Age>45 y and tacrolimus affect glucose metabolism for a longer period post-transplants. High BMI and acute rejection have an impact on glucose metabolism only in the early stage post-transplantation. Large dose of glucocorticoid affect glucose metabolism for at least 3 months post-transplantation , and there is no significant difference after 1 year.

BACKGROUND:According to the core functional zone of amino acid sequence of the osteoinduction in bone morphogenetic proteins, our research group synthesized bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) active polypeptides Ⅰ and Ⅱ by artificial solid-state synthesis method. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the osteoinductive ability of BMP active polypeptides Ⅰ and Ⅱ in animals. METHODS:Forty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into seven groups, and respectively implanted with hydroxyapatite/polylactic acid carrying 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 g/L BMP active polypeptides I, hydroxyapatite/polylactic acid carrying 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 g/L BMP active polypeptides Ⅱ, and hydroxyapatite/polylactic acid alone. At 3 and 5 weeks postoperatively, X-ray, CT and histological detection were conducted to evaluate osteoinductive conditions in the seven groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 3 and 5 weeks postoperatively, there were better local osteoinductive effects in the groups hydroxyapatite/polylactic acid carrying BMP active polypeptides Ⅰ and Ⅱ than the group of hydroxyapatite/polylactic acid, indicating both two kinds of BMP active polypeptides possessed a certain osteoinductive ability. Moreover, this osteoinductive ability became stronger with time. At 5 weeks postoperatively, the osteoinductive effect in the 0.4 and 0.8 g/L BMP active polypeptides I groups was better than that in the 0.2 g/L BMP active polypeptides I group and the 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 BMP active polypeptides Ⅱ groups (P < 0.05). In addition, there was no difference in the osteoinductive effect of 0.4 and 0.8 g/L BMP active polypeptides I groups. These results indicate that BMP active polypeptides I has a stronger osteoinductive ability than BMP active polypeptides Ⅱ.
