Objective To observe the clinical effect of Zhang point in subclavian vein puncture. Methods One hundred patients underwent deep vein catheterization were selected, ASA grade of Ⅱ- Ⅲ. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to puncture method with 50 cases each, the patients in group A used traditional puncturing method, and the patients in group B used Zhang point puncture method. The total success rate, success rate of the first trial and incidence of complication were recorded. All the patients received the bedside chest X-ray examination to observe the location of central venous catheter after surgery. Results The total success rate and success rate of the first trial in group B were significantly higher than those in group A:100%(50/50) vs. 88%(44/50) and 96%(48/50) vs. 76%(38/50), the incidence of complication was significantly lower than that in group A: 4% (2/50) vs. 20%(10/50), there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions Using of Zhang point is very simple in subclavian vein puncture catheterization, with a higher success rate and a less complication rate.

Objective To investigate the expression pattern and possible function of Nogo-A during neuronal growth. Methods E18 rat hippocampal neurons were primarily cultured both in high-density and low-density conditions. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were performed to detect Nogo-A expression and distributional changes. Results Nogo-A was found in hippocampal neurons, mainly located in the cytoplasm, plasma membrane and neurites. It was detected at the proximal part of all neurites before axon formation. In axons, Nogo-A was enriched in the distal segment and axonal growth cone. In mature neurons, the fiber net work displayed a large number of Nogo-A immunoreactive varicosities. Conclusion The present results indicate that the neuronal Nogo-A may be involved in the process of neurite outgrowth and axonal projection.

Objective:To predict the basic physicochemical properties ,structure and function ,and linear B-cell epitopes of the capsid protein VP1 of coxsackievirus A6(CVA6).Methods: The amino acid sequence of the CVA6 VP1 was analyzed using Bioedit software and various online tools including SubLoc ,TargetP and the others from ExPASy Bioinformatics Resource Portal.Results: The CVA6 VP1 protein was a hydrophilic protein with a relative molecular weight of 33.6 kD and an isoelectric point of 7.92.This protein containsed 24 phosphorylation sites , but no signal peptide , transmembrane domains and possible fatty acylation sites.Its secondary structure was characterized by the richest random coils , and 48.52 percent of its amino acid residues exposed at the solution inter-face.Epitope prediction by Bepipred showed a number of potential B cell epitopes in the protein ,the highest antigenicity index among them located in the region of amino acids residue 155-165.Conclusion:The basic physicochemical properties ,structure and function characteristics ,and potential linear B-cell epitopes of CVA 6 VP1 were successfully predicted , which laid foundations for the further study on the protein and the preparation of vaccines and immunological diagnostic reagents for CVA 6 infection.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanism, clinical characterization, diagnosis and therapeutic approach of vocal process granuloma(VPG) induced by gastroesophageal reflux. METHOD: We performed a retrospective review of 4 cases. RESULT: In 4 male cases, 3 cases had no obvious symptoms of stomach and esophagus and 1 case had symptoms of bloating and acid reflux. Additionally, 4 cases in which lesions were all located to the left side were diagnosed by trial therapy with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) with good responding. 2 of 4 cases were relapsed after operations. Meanwhile 4 patients were treated by Rabeprazole for acid suppression therapy and 3 cases were cured and 1 invalid case was cured by Pantoprazole. All patients were followed up for 4-48 months with no recurrence. CONCLUSION Gastroesophageal reflux is an important pathogenic factor to the VPG. The majority of patients with VPG do not have gastroesophageal reflux symptoms. Besides, most lesions located in the left are associated with sleeping position. The diagnosis is mainly based on the laryngoscope examination and trial of acid suppression therapy. Moreover, recurrence risk is high-with simple operation in VPG therefore the main treatment is a antireflux and it is also valid by replacing byother PPI treatment. The treatment must be long enough. Meanwhile, the comprehensive treatment should be noticed.

Objective This study is to summarize the experience of microsurgical reconstruction for donor liver anatomical variations of hepatic arteries in orthotopic liver transplantation. Methods During the bench surgery, the anatomy of donors′ hepatic arteries was carefully examined and microsurgical techniques were used for the anomalous arteries. The graft arterial flow was checked by Doppler ultrasound daily in the first week in postoperative period and periodically thereafter. Results The arterial anatomy was anomalousin 20 out of 141 (14%) donor livers. Nine cases (6.3%) needed arterial reconstruction. In these cases, 7(4.9%) aberrant right hepatic arteries originating from superior mesenteric artery were anastomosed to gastro-duodenal arteries and another two aberrant hepatic left or right arteries were anastomosed to the stump of the donor splenic arteries. Conclusions The variations of hepatic arteries in donors are common. To obtain the ideal arterial supply of liver graft, both careful checking on the origin of donor's artery and appropriate plastic performance with refined microsurgical techniques are necessary.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of daclizumab(zenapax) in liver transplantation patients with renal insufficiency. Methods We reviewed the use of daclizumab in 50 patients with renal insufficiency or at high risk of renal insufficiency during the period of liver transplantation between March 2001 to February 2003. The control group included 62 cases with no renal insufficiency at the same period. Results Renal function was recovered in 36 of 37 patients. The administration of daclizumab caused no vital organ dysfunction. Acute rejection was 6% (3/50) vs. 29 % (18/62) (P=0.826), infection was 56% (28/50) vs. 58% (36/62)(P=0.826). Conclusion Immunoprophylaxis with daclizumab regimen is safe, effective and well tolerated, and does not lead to increased opportunistic infections, and helps in improving renal function, by reducing the dosage and postponing the application of calcineurin inhibitor.

Objective To explore the cause of and treatment for psychiatric complications developed in the early stage after liver transplantation. Method The clinical data of 125 patients who underwent liver transplantation in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results There was no significant difference in gender,age,liver function and the blood cyclosporine A level between psychiatric complication (PC) patients and those without PC. The anhepatic time and the total operation time of the PC group were longer than that of the non-PC group ( P

Objective To explore the clinical usage of allograft vessels for portal venous reconstruction during radical resection for pancreatic cancer.Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 14 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with vascular resection (PDVR) and reconstruction by allograft vascular form June 2009 to May 2013.Results Patient's mean age was (59.1 ±10.4) years old.The mean diameter of tumors was (3.9 ± 1.3) cm,mean lcngth of resected vessels was (4.4 ±0.5)cm,and the R0 resection rate was 71.4％.The implanted vessels in 4 cases were allograft portal veins,and in the other 10 cases were allograft iliac arteries.In morphological classification,9 cases used straight vessels and 5 cases used Y shaped vessels.The overall median survival time of the group was (14.0 ± 3.0) months.The 1,2 year' s survival rate was 52.0％ and 40.0％,respectively.Conclusions Allograft vessels for portal venous reconstruction during PDVR have biological and structural advantages.

Objective To explore the cause,treatment and prognosis of delayed massive haemorrhage (DMH) after pancreatic resection.Method Clinical data of 1554 patients undergoing pancreatectomy in our hospital from Aug 2003 to Aug 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results 16 patients suffered from DMH,including 13 patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy,and 3 patients who had had resection of pancreatic body and tail.Gastrointestinal haemorrhage occurred in 6 patients,intra-abdominal haemorrhage occurred in 10 patients,respectively.Reoperations were performed in 11 patients,transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) undertaken in 2 patients,and endoscopic treatment in 3 patients.10 patients recovered after treatment,6 patients (6/16) died.Conclusions The mortality of DMH after pancreatic surgery is high.Postoperative pancreatic leak and gastrointestinal stress ulcer are the most possible risk factors,intra-abdominal arterial haemorrhage is the main cause of death.

Objective To explore the risk factors in disease progression and the significance of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) and vascular intercellular adhesion molecule-1 ( VCAM-1 ) in hand foot and mouth disease ( HFMD) combined with encephalitis .Methods Altogether 92 subjects with HFMD were enrolled in the study and were divided into four groups , including group A ( ordinary group with no complication ) , group B ( severe group with complication ) , group C ( critical group with complication ) , group D ( recovery group with complication ) .Concentrations of VEGF and VCAM-1 in serum and cerebro-spinal fluid were detected by double antibody sandwich ELISA method .Multiple factors logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze main risk factors in disease progression for two combinations , one for ordi-nary group and severe group , the other for severe group and critical group .The results were analyzed by SPSS16.0 statistical software.Results The concentration of VEGF and VCAM-1 in serum and cerebrospi-nal fluid had statistically significant differences among the four groups , but there was no significant difference between group A and group D , and between group B and group C .In addition , the statistically significant factors for prediction of disease progression were duration of fever , limb shaking, cerebrospinal fluid WBC , cerebrospinal fluid protein and EV 71 IgM between ordinary group and severe group , and cerebrospinal fluid WBC, respiratory rate and heart rate between severe group and critical group .The multiple factors logistic regression analysis revealed that limb shaking , cerebrospinal fluid protein , VEGF and VCAM-1 in serum were the main risk factors for disease progression from ordinary to severe (P=0.071, 0.019, 0.020, 0.025 and OR=147.629, 26.572, 5.958, 6.345).And increased heart rate indicated the progression from se-vere to critical with P value of 0.001 and OR value of 2.69.Conclusion (1) Compared with group A, VEGF and VCAM-1 in serum and cerebrospinal fluid were highly expressed in patients with HFMD combined with encephalitis .Therefore , VEGF and VCAM-1 could be used as diagnostic criteria for auxiliary diagnosis of encephalitis in patients with HFMD and reflect the severity and prognosis to a certain extent .( 2 ) Risk factors like limb shaking , cerebrospinal fluid protein , VEGF and VCAM-1 in serum would be helpful to early diagnosis of severe patients .Increased heart rate would be a significant factor for identification of patients with critical disease , according to which a timely treatment would be provided to prevent from worse .
