Objective To explore a new molecular target for HSV-tk/GCV system in human liver cancer therapy.Methods The lactose and poly-L-lysine covalently linked compound(Lac-PLL) were prepared by using reductive amination methods and purified by using Sephadex G10 gel filtration.The value of n was determined by methods of phenol-vitriol colorimetry.The plasmid r-pAs16Dr was mixed with the conjugate to form a gene delivery complex named GlanPLL-r-pAs16Dr.The GlanPLL-r-pAs16Dr was transformed to different cell lines such as HepG2 and A549 to confirm the expression of RFP.The expression of HSV-tk was confirmed by RT-PCR.Cells with various concentrations of GCV were observed at different time points using MTT.Results The PLL modified by 34 Lac was obtained by using chemical synthesis.The RFP was expressed in HepG2 by 48h after transfection,and was not expressed in A549.The expression of HSV-tk was only detected in HepG2 using RT-PCR.The HepG2 transformed with GlanPLL-r-pAs16Dr was sensitive to GCV and the growth inhibiting rate was 70.5% with the treatment of low concentration of GCV(1mg/L) for 3 days.The A549 was not sensitive to GCV.Conclusion Lac-PLL,which is easy to prepare,is an efficient carrier for HSV-tk to be delivered to hepatoma cell lines by binding to ASGPR.

Objective To compare the development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation in elderly patients undergoing thoracic surgery using different anesthetic methods in a large sample clinical trial.Methods A total of 1 380 patients of both sexes,aged 60-80 yr,with body mass index of 16-33 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective radical operations for lung or esophageal cancer,were divided into 3 groups (n =460 each) using a random number table:general anesthesia group (group G),general anesthesia combined with paravertebral block group (group GP),and general anesthesia combined with epidural block group (group GE).After induction of anesthesia,an epidural catheter was placed at T4-7 interspace on the operated side,and 0.375％ ropivacaine 8 ml was administrated via the catheter in group GP.After induction of anesthesia,the patients were tracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated,and the end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide was maintained at 35-45 mmHg in the 3 groups.Maintenance of anesthesia was as follows:propofol was given by target-controlled infusion with the target plasma concentration of 2.5-4.0 μg/ml in the 3 groups;intermittent iv boluses of sufentanil 10 μg were given,and the total dosage was not expected to exceed 1.0 μg/kg in group G;sufentanil 10 μg was injected intravenously when necessary in group GP;0.25％ ropivacaine 5 ml was injected epidurally every 1.5 h in group GE;bispectral index value was maintained at 40-60;rocuronium was injected intravenously according to the condition in the 3 groups.The development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation was recorded.Results The incidence of intraoperative atrial fibrillation was 6.1％,3.7％ and 2.2％ in G,GP and GE groups,respectively.Compared with group G,the incidence of intraoperative atrial fibrillation was significantly decreased in group GE (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the incidence of intraoperative atrial fibrillation in group GP (P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with general anesthesia,general anesthesia combined with epidural block can decrease the development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation,it is more suitable for this type of patients,however,general anesthesia combined with paravertebral block produces no improvement in the development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation in elderly patients undergoing thoracic surgery.

Objective To analyze the factors that influence the survival condition during the first year after hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Five hundred twentyeight HCC cases undergoing hepatectomy were included from January 1997 to December 2008.The factors and survival outcomes in these patients were analyzed. Results There were 302 patients dying during a medium follow-up of 35 months and 1-year cumulative survival was 85％.The causes of death during first year were tumor recurrence (78.1％,75/96) and liver dyscompensation ( 19.8％,19/96).By Cox regression analysis,tumor size ≥5 cm (P =0.047 ),vascular invasion ( P =0.018),histologic moderately and poorly differentiation ( P =0.001 ) and pathologically positive margin ( P =0.004 ) were significantly associated with tumor recurrence,and portal hypertension was an independent factor for patients dying from liver dysfunction ( P =0.001 ).Positive tumor margin was the most important factor associated with postoperative death within one year (59.3％,60/96). Conclusions During the first year after HCC resection,tumor recurrence and liver dysfunction are main factors influencing HCC patients' survival,nonR0 resection is the main factor causing tumor recurrence,and portal hypertension is an independent factor for patients dying of liver dyscompensation.

Objective To study the prognosis of patients with huge hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after R0 resection.Methods 517 patients with primary HCC who underwent R0 resection from January 1997 to December 2008 at the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College Qingdao University were analyzed retrospectively.Results The 5-and 10-years overall survivals (OS) in patients with huge HCC (≥10 cm; n=69) and in patients with HCC ＜10 cm (n=448) were 24％,18％ and 49％,30％,respectively.The median OS was 23.0 and 58.0 month (P＜0.001,log rank test) ; and the median disease-free survivals (DFS) were 15.3 and 34.8 month (P＜0.001),respectively.The recurrence rate within the first year and the extrahepatic recurrence after resection in patients with huge HCC was significantly higher than in patients with HCC ＜10 cm (44.9％ vs.24.3％,P=0.022;32.7％ vs.16.0％,P=0.004).Independent poor prognostic factors of OS and DFS for patients with huge HCC after R0 resection were portal hypertension and vascular invasion.Preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) was an independent prognostic factor for better DFS.Conclusions Surgical resection for huge HCC is safe and feasible.For huge HCC after resection,portal hypertension and vascular invasion were poor prognostic factors.Preoperative TACE improved DFS after resection.

Objective:To deeply explore the real work of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of stroke in general hospitals, rehabilitation and pension institutions and community health service centers (stations), and to provide reference for improving the level of comprehensive prevention of stroke in the medical system.Methods:From July to November 2022, face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 18 medical staff in general hospitals, 10 medical staff in rehabilitation and pension institutions, and 8 medical staff in community health service centers (stations) were conducted by phenomenological research methods. Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to analyze the interview data, and Nvivo12 software was used to code the interview data.Results:Four themes were extracted: hospitals, institutions and communities all played an important role in the comprehensive prevention of stroke and actively cooperated with each other; the public was still lack of comprehensive prevention awareness and correct cognition of stroke; lack of professional medical resources hindered the development of comprehensive stroke prevention; incomplete collaborative mechanism of comprehensive prevention of stroke in hospitals, institutions and communities.Conclusions:In the current comprehensive prevention of stroke, there are still problems such as weak public awareness of prevention, insufficient professional medical resources, and imperfect coordination mechanism. In view of the advantages of medical institutions at all levels, it is necessary to clarify the responsibilities of the system at all levels and explore efficient and sustainable coordination mechanism, so as to improve the comprehensive prevention level of stroke in the medical system.

Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular adenoma.Methods:The clinical data of 23 hepatocellular adenoma patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from May 2013 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Fifteen patients were female, the age ranged from 21 to 60. The maximum tumor diameter was from 2.5 cm to 15 cm.Most patients (15/23) were asymptomatic. There were 20 cases (87%) with single lesion and 3 cases (13%) with multiple lesions. Contrast-enhanced CT and MRI showed enhancement in the arterial phase, and de-enhancement in the portal phase as well as in the delayed phase. All cases underwent tumor resection. Hepatocellular adenoma was confirmed by pathology with partial canceration in one case and intratumoral hemorrhage in two cases. Sixteen cases were misdiagnosed preoperatively, 20 were followed up with the median follow-up time of 36 months. Recurrence was not found.Conclusion:Hepatocellular adenoma is uncommon and often misdiagnosed. Preoperative diagnosis is dependent on MRI.Given the fact of high rate misdiagnosis and a tendency of canceration,resection is recommended.

Objective: To clarify the clinicopathologic features of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients survived more than 10 years after radical hepatectomy. Methods: Two hundreds and fifty-two patients who underwent curative resection for HCC between January 1999 and March 2006 at Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were included.There were 217 male cases and 35 female cases aging from 17 to 82 years with median age of (53.8±10.5)years. Followed by March 31 2016, clinicopathologic factors in 10-year survivors and patients who died within 10 years were compared by χ² test, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards model and the prognostic factors affecting survival were identified. Results: All patients were followed-up for 4.0 to 205.7 months with median time of 53.4 months. The 10-year overall survival rate was 26%, there were 62 cases(26.2%) who survived for more than 10 years after initial hepatectomy. In survival >10-year group, the paitents with ALT<40 U/L, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase<64 U/L, albumin≥35 g/L, without liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension, Child-Pugh grade A, no blood transfusion, AFP≤20 μg/L, tumor size ≤5.0 cm, single tumor, high differentiation, TNM stage Ⅰ and TACE negative after resection were more than the patients in survival <10-year group (P<0.05). In multivariate analysis, Child-Pugh grade A, the tumor size ≤5.0 cm and TACE negative after resection were favorable independent factors associated with 10-year survival (P<0.05). Conclusion Based on the results of the study, Child-Pugh grade A, tumor size ≤5.0 cm and TACE negative after resection at initial hepatectomy might be biologically favorable conditions for patients surviving more than 10 years.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a porcine herpesvirus that exhibits cross-species infectivity, primarily affecting pigs as its natural host. Since its initial discovery, PRV has rapidly disseminated worldwide and inflicted substantial economic losses on the swine industry. In recent years, sporadic cases of human infections with PRV have been reported, highlighting the potential risk of interspecies transmission to humans. With further analysis of the pathogenic characteristics of PRV and a deeper understanding of its pathogenic mechanism, preventing PRV from becoming a human infectious disease has become a focus of current research and prevention and control work. To comprehensively understand the variant characteristics of PRV, this study presents an overview of cutting-edge advancements in terms of its genetic variations and epidemiological characteristics, aiming to establish a foundation for more effective implementation of relevant prevention and control work.
