Objective To study the effect of CMPS on acute fatty liver induced by DL-E. Methods Oral administration DL-E (250 mg/kg) was given to mice to establish the models of acute fatty liver mice. Liver index, the contents of TG and morphological changes of liver tissue were detected to study the effect of CMPS on liver fat accumulation.Results The Liver index and the contents of TG in the model group rose. Under light microscope, lobular central vein could be seen around the liver steatosis and cytoplasm of liver cells appeared vacuolated changes. As compared with the model group, indexes significantly improved in CMPS group. Conclusion DL-E could obviously damage the liver and lead to liver fat accumulation. CMPS has protective effect on liver injury.

BACKGROUND:The risk of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis was high in patients with bone metastases. Major surgery is a major risk factor for thrombosis. There was no standard prophylactic regimen available.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the efficacy and safety of low molecular weight heparins versus rivaroxaban in the postoperative prevention of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in patients with bone metastases.
METHODS:From January 2010 to December 2013, a total of 73 patients with bone metastasis in spine, pelvis and lower extremities, who underwent open surgery in the Department of Musculoskeletal Tumor, Third Hospital, Hebei Medical University, China, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into low molecular weight heparins group (n=41) and rivaroxaban group (n=32) according to the prophylactic drugs after surgery.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nine cases (22%) in the low molecular weight heparins group were found lower extremity deep venous thrombosis, and six cases (19%) in the rivaroxaban group suffered from lower extremity deep venous thrombosis, showing no significant differences (χ2=0.11, P=0.74). The incidences of bleeding events in both groups were respectively 7.32%and 6.25%, showing no significant differences (correctionχ2=0.083, P>0.05). There were no significant differences regarding the levels of platelet, activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time between both groups preoperatively or postoperatively (P>0.05). Therefore, the efficacy and safety of low molecular weight heparins and rivaroxaban in the postoperative prevention of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis were similar. Both could effectively reduce the incidence of deep venous thrombosis, with a relative low risk of bleeding.

Objective To explore the correlation of traditional Chinese medical syndrome elements with plasma connective tissue growth factor ( CTGF) and platelet-derived growth factor ( PDGF) in early liver cirrhosis induced by type B hepatitis. Methods The distribution of traditional Chinese medical syndrome elements in early liver cirrhosis induced by type B hepatitis was analyzed, plasma contents of CTGF and PDGF were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) , and the correlation of syndrome elements with CTGF and PDGF was discriminated. Results ( 1) The distribution of traditional Chinese medical syndrome elements in early liver cirrhosis induced by type B hepatitis showed as follows: the syndrome elements involved the viscera of liver and spleen, and the pathogenesis was characterized as dampness, heat, qi stagnation, and yin deficiency. ( 2) CTGF was closely related with spleen, gallbladder and dampness, with OR value being 1.598, 1.567, 2.797, respectively. PDGF was closely related with heat, with OR value being 1.134. Conclusion Early liver cirrhosis induced by type B hepatitis mainly affects the viscera of liver and spleen, the pathogenesis is characterized by dampness, heat, qi stagnation, and yin deficiency. The patients with higher CTGF are apt to show the pathological changes of spleen, gallbladder, dampness, and have the syndrome el-ements of spleen, gallbladder, dampness. The patients with higher PDGF are apt to show the pathological changes of heat, and have the syndrome element of heat.

ObjectiveTo study the risk factors of renal artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) following partial nephrectomy.MethodsOpen partial nephrectomy was performed on a total of 464 cases of renal cell cancer from July 2003 to May 2010. Five patients ( 1.1% ) had postoperative hemorrhage from RAP.The surgery technique of the open partial nephrectomy, the clinical presentation, imaging findings and treatment of RAP were reviewed. The anatomical characteristics of these five renal tumors on enhanced CT were quantified using the R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Score System.ResultsAll five cases were male, two had tumors on the left side and three on the right side. Median tumor size was 3.6 cm ( range from 2.5 to 5 cm; Radius score 1 - 2). Four tumors were exophytic of these, three had a major endophytic component (≥50%) deep in the parenchyma (Exophytic/endophytic score 2 ), one was entirely endophytic (score 3 ). The distance of all the tumors to the collecting system was ≤4 mm ( Nearness score 3 ). Four of the five tumors were across the polar line and/or renal axial midline ( Location score 3 ). The other tumor was located under the lower pole ( Location score 1 ) but close to the renal hilar. All patients presented with delayed gross haematuria and decreasing hemoglobin occurred on mean postoperative day 12 (3 -23 day). Four patients complained of flank pain, two of which had signs of hypovolemia requiring blood transfusion. The diagnosis was confirmed by the contrast medium-enhanced CT and selective angiography, and RAP was found most commonly arising from the segmental branch of renal artery. Superselective microcoil angioembolization was successfully performed in four cases, once in three cases and twice in the remaining case. The procedure failed in one patient and a nephrectomy was done. At a mean follow-up of 21 months (12 -30) , all patients had normal renal function without evidence of recurrence.ConclusionsRAP should be considered in all patients who had delayed hematuria after partial nephrectomy. A central, deep tumor and its relationship to the segmental branch of renal artery could be an important risk factor for this complication. Choosing the case properly for partial nephrectomy and suturing the transected vessels and the defect of parenchymal correctly could reduce occurrence of this serious complication. Early use of selective angioembolization could be a primary choice of treatment.

Objective To discuss the etiology and management of hemorrhage after partial nephrectomy because of renal cancer. Methods Of the 382 cases performed partial nephrectomy during a 10-year period, 5 patients(1.3%) had postoperative hemorrhage because of a renal artery pseudoaneurysm. The ages of these patients were from 42 to 63 years. All the tumors were malignant with an average diameter of 2. 8 cm. The renal pedicle was blocked in 2 cases with tumor size larger than 3 cm. The kidney was reconstructed with interrupted 0 chromic sutures in "8"or "U" style. Delayed postoperative hemorrhage occurred from 6 days to 3 months. The blood loss was from 1000 to 4500mi. Shock or lower blood pressure occurred in 3 patients. Nephrectomy was performed in 1 patient and selective angiographic embolization was performed in other 4 cases. Results Angiography revealed renal artery pseudoaneurysm in all 5 cases at the third (4 cases) or fourth branch(1 patient).Percutaneous embolization was successful in 4 patients. Four cases were followed up for 2 to 9 years without complication. Conclusions Delayed postoperative hemorrhage following partial nephrectomy is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication. Super-selective angiographic embolization could be the first choice of treatment.

Objective To evaluate the application significance of Bosniak renal cyst classification. Methods The operations of 497 cases of cystic renal masses were performed from 2002 to 2007 in our hospital.The average age of these cases was 42-years old,the average diameter of renal cysts was 5.4 cm. There were 212 left lesions,265 right and 20 bilateral.According to Bosniak classification,there were 339 cases of category I,49 cases of category Ⅱ(including 23 cases of category ⅡF),44 cases of category Ⅲ and 65 cases of category Ⅳ.Renal cystectomy was performed in 372 cases when nephron sparing surgery performed in 51 eases and radical nephrectomy performed in 74 cases.Results Malignant tumors were found in 89 cases and benign lesions were found in 408 cases.The malignant rate was 0.9% in category I,10.2% in category Ⅱ(13.O%in category ⅡF),52.3% in category Ⅲ,89.2% in category Ⅳ.There was significant difference among the 4 groups,but there was no significant difference between category ⅡF and non-Ⅱ F of category Ⅱ.403 cases were followed up for 1-5 years with 75 cases of malignancy and 328 cases of benign lesions.Recurrence or metastasis was found in 9 malignant cases.Conclusions Careful follow-up should be performed in category I and Ⅱ,especially in the cases of Ⅱ F category and the eases with changes of diameter or morphology.It is definite that surgery should be performed in the cases of renal cyst with category Ⅲ or Ⅳ for their high malignant rate.
