BACKGROUND:Sunshine time in northem region is short in winter,the infants and young children are vulnerable to lack of vitamin D. Up-to-date textbooks and the guidelines formulated by Chinese Medical Association account that glass block ultraviolet and indoor exposure to human is meaningless. Early studies have shown that sunlight exposure through glass had meaning in rats,but it was difficult to accurately quantify,while outdoor exposure in rats is difficult to continue. This expedment uses B-band ultraviolet rays,which has the impact on vitamin D metabolism in some wavelengths,to facilitate further study.OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of ultraviolet B exposure in laboratory on 25-hydroxy vitamin D(25-OHD)level and bone metabolism in the serum of growing rats.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A randomized controlled animal experiment was performed in June 2007 in the ExperimantalAnimal Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital.MATERIALS:Forty male 21-day-old Wistar rats were employed in this study. Ultraviolet waves were sourced from an artificial UV light instrument(wavelength 280-350 μm,irradiation intensity 5.5μW/cm~2).METHODS:Forty Wistar rats were divided into four groups by random sampling table,exposed to different doses of ultraviolet Bwave. Direct exposure group:direct exposure for 20 minutes at an irradiation dose of 4.2 mJ/(cm~2·d);Indirect exposure 60 and 120 min groups:exposure through a single pane of glass for 60 and 120 minutes at an irradiation dose of 0.36 and 0.72 mJ/(cm~2·d).Control group:no exposure was given. For the direct exposure group,the lamp was placed above the cage. A 3-mm-thick pane of glass(common window glass) was placed underneath the lamp in the indirect exposure groups. Exposure groups were given irradiation for successive 20 days.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Serum 25-OHD,bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP),and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured on day 21.RESULTS:25-OHD was significantly higher in all exposure groups compared with the control group (P＜0.001),but there was no difference between the direct exposure group and two indirect exposure groups. BALP was significantly lower in the exposure groups than control group (P＜0.001),it was also significantly lower in the 120-min indirect group than in the 60-min indirect group (P=0.022). There was a positive correlation between exposure dose and 25-OHD (r=0.555,P=0.002) and a negative correlation between exposure dose and BALP (r=0.595,P=0.001),also a negative correlation between 25-OHD and BALP (r=0.569,P=0.002),but there were no differences between groups for BMD. Exposure dose exhibited a threshold,serum 25-OHD and BALP no longer increased or decreased when it was 0.36 mJ/(cm~2·d).CONCLUSION:Midwave ultraviolet rays might affect serum 25-OHD and BALP levels in the growing rats through glass exposure,with no significant difference compared to direct exposure. The B-band ultraviolet exposure dose may play an important role in serum 25-OHD synthesis,but there is a threshold dose for the synthesis. Low-dose and prolonged exposure time also achieve threshold exposure.

Objective To study the application of intraoperative drug administration in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation(SPK), in order to achieve favorable postoperative results. Methods In the 19 cases of SPK,we primarily administered albumin 1.5~2.0g/kg to increase blood volume. Intraoperative electrocyte fluid dosage was 30~50mL/kg. Isoptin, 5mg/12h and prostaglandin E1(PGE1) 100?g/12h was given to lessen preservation injury and somatostatin(3mg/12h) to inhibit exocrine secretion of the transplanted pancreas. Results After reperfusion,the 19 transplanted pancreas grafts secreted amylase averaging 20 800U/L,and the transplanted kidneys produced urine,through the ureters,in 2~10min.In the 19cases,exogeneous insulin was withdrawn within 1.5h~9d and kidney function returned to normal within 2~4d. Conclusions In the SPK recipients, the rational use of albumin, vasodilators and somatostatin plays an important role in obtaining better function of transplanted pancreas and kidney.

The livers from 5 week 14～32 human fetuses were studied. The results are summarized as follows:1. Two kinds of liver cells revealed by EM: the "light" and "dark" cells. The light ones are larger in size, more numerous in number, containing larger mitochondria and obvious RER and SER, but less free ribosomes than the dark ones. Both of them may contain hemosiderin granules and the configuration of mitochondria enclosed by circular or semicircular RER cisternae.2. Bile canaliculus: Beside canaliculi between two adjacent liver cells, canaliculi situated between 3 or 4 liver cells are not infrequently revealed. That is due to the fetal liver cells are arranged in groups rather than in cords. The stereoscopic configurations of bile canaliculus and the tight junction surrounding it are demonstrated more clearly in freeze-fracture micrograph than that of the TEM. In addition, one intracellular bile canaliculus is found in the freeze-fracture preperation.3. The blood sinusoid and hemopoietic focus: In the 4-week fetus, the endothelium of the sinusoid can hardly be recognized While its lumen is quite large. Many erythrocytes accompanied by their immature components can be seen among it. As to the 32-week fetal liver, the endothelium and Kupffer cell may be easily recognized but the lumen of the sinusoid dimenishes enormously. The hemopoietic foci are localized extra-sinusoidially and in close contact with liver cells. Their volume exceeds one half of the fetal liver lobule before the age of 28 weeks, then it dimenishes gradually. In the space of Disse a fat storage cell is revealed.4. The portal canal : The mensenchyma and immature erythrocytes in the portal canal dimenishes with the increase of the fetal age. The portal canal is surrounded by the pigmented limiting plate cells of the liver lobules. The interlobular bile duct is differentiated from the limiting plate cells. Its epithelium is composed of both light and dark cells. The former is more numerous and contains many large mitochondria in its apical portion, while the latter shows higher electron density. Microvilli are located on the surfaces of both kinds of cells and finger like processes in the enlarged intercellular spaces are revealed.

Objective To investigate the effect of B TX -A block by insulative needle to release the spasticity in cerebral palsy. MethodsFrom June 2000 to November 2002, 47 children wit h spastic cerebral palsy aged 2 to 15 years old, averaged( 6.32?2.52) years o ld were divided into an experiment group and a control group. The 33 children in the experiment group were blocked with BTX-A by insulative needles. The other 14 children in the control group were blocked with BTX-A by use of the convent ional syringe. ResultsThe spasticity in the experim ent group reduced to a larger extend than that in the control group, and the th erapeutic effect lasted longer in the experiment group. Conclusi onUsing insulative needle can improve the effect of BTX-A block.

Objective To summarize experience for hepatic artery reconstruction in orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT).Method A retrospective analysis was made for 183 cases of orthotopic liver transplantation performed in our institute from May 1995 to december 2006.All the arterial reconstructions were performed with 6-0 polypropylene sutures in an interrupted fashion under a 3.5 magnification surgical loupe.Donor hepatic arteries were anastomosed at the origin of the celiac artery with a Carrel's patch or at the level of splenic artery confluence.Extra-anatomic arterial reconstruction was based on recipient aorta using donor iliac artery graft.OLT with routine anatomic arterial construction served as control.Heparin or low-molecule-weight heparin as a prophylactic anticoagulation therapy was maintained during and after operation if prothrombin time is less than eighteen seconds.Follow-up Doppler ultrasonography was used daily in the early postoperative period.Results Overall incidence of hepatic artery complications was 3.28%.Hepatic artery thrombosis(HAT)was observed in 5 cases.Hepatic artery stenosis(HAS)occurred in 1 patient.Routine anatomic arterial construction was performed in 89.07%(163)of cases,and HAT developed in 3(1.84%)cases.Extra-anatomic arterial reconstruction was carried out in 10.93%(20)of the patients;the presence of HAT was identified in 3(15.0%)cases(X2=9.73,P＜0.01).Thrombolysis,balloon angioplasty,and vascular stenting via hepatic artery were performed.One patient suffering from identified hepatic artery thrombosis died of liver failure 19 days post-op.The other 5 patients were cured successfully with patent blood flow by interventional therapy.Mortality related to hepatic artery complication was 16.7%.Conclusion HAT and HAS may be minimized by using gastroduodenal branch-patch anastomosis and postoperative anticoagulation.Close follow-up by Doppler ultrasonography helps to make a prompt diagnosis and reduce HAT-and HAS related graft loss.

Objective To compare the advantages and disadvantages of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) and phenol block in the treatment of spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. Methods Four hundred and twenty children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into an experimental group (375 cases) and a control group (45 cases).The children were aged from 1 to 22 years ( average age 6 years).The children in the experimental group were treated with BTX-A block at a dosage of 55 to 350 IU (average 130.5 IU).The children in the control group were treated with a 5％ phenol solution block at a dosage of 0.5 to 4.6 ml ( average 2.2 ml).Children of both groups were given systematic functional rehabilitation training. All the children were evaluated with a physician rating scale (PRS) and the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) before and after the blocking.Effectiveness rates,effectiveness durations and side effects rates were calculated. Results Before treatment there was no significant difference in terms of motor disorder or spasticity between the 2 groups.After treatment,spasticity had been significantly reduced in both groups.The effectiveness rate was 98.4％ in the experimental group and 95.6％ in the control group,a difference which was not significant.The average effectiveness duration was ( 24.9 ± 5.76 ) weeks in the experimental group and ( 69.2 ± 13.76) weeks in the control group,significantly longer.The side effects rate was 5.33 ％ in the experimental group and 15.56％ in the control group,also a significant difference. Conclusion BTX-A could be more widely used because of its safety and credibility.

Objective Pancreas perfusion is an essential step in human islet isolation.To develop the new methods for introductal canulation,collagenase infusion and to observe their effects on islets isolation.Methods A total of 17 pancreases were digested from March 2005 to April 2010.The pancreases were distended by three methods:the standard method (n =3),the one-cannula method (n =11) and three-cannula method (n =3).In the standard group,the pancreases were completely cut into half at the mid-body.Two catheters were inserted into the main duct:one directed toward the tail and the other to the head.In the one-cannula method group,a long tube was inserted into the duct at the head,advancing to the tail In the three-cannula method group,pancreatic parenchyma was then minimally cut at the mid-body and three catheters were inserted into the main pancreatic duct:one at the head (the first catheter) and two at the mid-body,one toward the tail (the second catheter) and the other toward the head (the third catheter).The pancreases were digested by improved Ricordi technique.Ficoll continuous density/grads centrifuge method was performed to purify the islets.DTZ staining was adopted to identify islets and count islet equivalent (IEQ). AO/EB fluorescence examination was used to count active islet percentage.Static glucose stimulating test (SGS) in vitro was designed to estimate islet function and calculate SI.Results The distension volume of the threecannula method group was 1.24 rnl/g pancreas,and higher than the other groups (for the standard group:0.71 ml/g pancreas; for one-cannula method group:0.96 ml/g pancreas,P＜0.05).The yield of islet in the three-cannula method group and the one-cannula method group was 2514 and 2270 IEQ/g,which was significantly more than that in the standard group (1914 IEQ/g pancreas,P＜0.05).The purity and viability of the islets were 74 ％/79.3 ％,75.6 ％/79.4 ％ and 78.3 ％/84.0 ％ respectively in the three groups with the difference being not significant among the groups.SI in the one cannula method group (4.74) and the three-cannula method group (5.27) was significantly higher than that in the standard group (3.46).ConclusionThe three-cannula method improved collagenase infusion and the islet yields.
