Objective:TO explore the effectiveness of splenic tissue autotransplantation in restoring host defense. Methods: Rabbits were divided into three groups,Sham Operation(SO), Splenic Autotransplantation(SA)and Total Splenectomy(TS), and dynamic changes in histology and immunology were observed for over 24 weeks. Results: Histologic study shows that the white pulps were poorly developed and central arterioles disappeared in the regenerated splenic tissue. The weight of regenerated spleens recovered six months later in SA was 11% of that in SO, and was significantly reduced comparing with the implanted weight( P ＜0.05). Tere were no significant difference in the number of T lymphocytes and the levels of serum lysozyme among the three groups. A poor antibody response by the rabbits of SA and TS as compared to those of SO was noted after the primary intravenous administration with sheep red blood cells. After the challenge with type 3 pneumococci intravenously, pneumococcal clearance from bloodstream in SA did not differ significantly from that in TS,but was marKedly delayed compared with that in SO(P＜0.01). Conclusion: The results indicate that the low quantity and poor quality of the regenerated spleens may contribute to the inferior immunoprotective ability of 1/3 splenic autotransplantation. Therefore, it implies that the regenerated spleens can not fully compensate the original one in im-munology, especially, host resistance to infection.

BACKGROUND:There is controversy on the treatment of old femoral neck fracture with hemiarthroplasty.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical effect of cementless hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of old femoral neck fracture, and to compare with total hip arthroplasty.
METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 23 old femoral neck fracture patients treated by artificial joint replacement from January 2009 to June 2010. Among the 23 patients, 11 cases were treated with cementless hemiarthroplasty, and 12 cases were treated with total hip arthroplasty. The time for off-bed activity, Harris score and the incidence of perioperative complications were compared between cementless total hip arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the patients were fol owed-up for 12-18 months. The active straight leg raising angle, time for off-bed activity, incidence of early postoperative complications and Harris score at 1 week after treatment of the cementless hemiarthroplasty group were better than those of the total hip arthroplasty group;there were no significant differences in Harris score at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months between two groups;the incidence of forward hip pain of the cementless hemiarthroplasty group was higher than that of the total hip arthroplasty group. So, we general y think that cementless hemiarthroplasty has better short-term effect in the treatment of old femoral neck fracture, but the long-term integrated efficacy needs to be further identified.

Objective To identify the expression pattern of IGF-1 and IGF-1R in NK/T-cell lymphoma (NK/TCL) cell lines and to investigate the role of IGF-1/IGF-1R signaling in regulation of cell migration and invasion.Methods RT-PCR and immunofluorescence were performed to detect the expression of IGF-1 and IGF-1R.Transwell assay was applied to observe the effects of IGF-1/IGF-1R signaling and downstream kinases activities on cell migration and invasion.Concentrations of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were quantified by ELISA.Results Co-expression of IGF-1 and its receptor IGF-1R were identified in two NK/TCL cell lines,SNK-1 and SNK-6,while normal NK cells lack the IGF-1R expression.IGF-1R inhibitors significantly reduced SNK-1 and SNK-6 cells migration and invasion rates.Exogenous IGF-1 promoted both cell lines migration and invasion,but these effects were both blocked by IGF-1R inhibitors.Inhibition of AKT,p38 and JNK,the possible IGF-1R downstream kinases,reduced cell migration rates.Further more,exogenous IGF-1 significantly increased MMP-2 and MMP-9 secretion,while decreased secretion of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were observed when IGF-1R inhibitors were applied.Conclusion An autocrine IGF-1/IGF-1R signaling loop is aberrantly expressed on NK/TCL cells and the autocrine loop significantly promotes cell migration and invasion through activation of p38,PI3K and JNK signaling and enhances secretion of MMP-2 and MMP-9.

Objective: To observe the efficacy and safety of Pipeline embolization device (PED) in treatment of intracranial complex aneurysms. Methods: Clinical data of 11 patients with intracranial complex aneurysms treated with PED were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Twelve PED were implanted in 11 patients with 12 aneurysms. Ten patients were implanted 1 PED and 1 patient with 2 PED, 3 aneurysms were implanted PED alone, 9 aneurysms underwent PED combined with coil embolization. Cerebral angiography immediately after operation showed that contrast agent was detained in aneurysm and PED adhered well to the wall, completely covered the neck of aneurysms and the artery with aneurysm was unobstructed. One patient had a local acute cerebral infarction after operation and recovered after treatment. Postoperative follow-up time was 6-9 months, the median follow-up time was 7.5 months. The symptoms significantly relieved or disappeared, no obvious complication occurred, and the occlusion rate of aneurysm was 75.00% (9/12). According to O'kelly-Marotta (OKM) grating, there was no aneurysm in grade A, 1 of grade B, 2 of grade C and 9 of grade D. The modified Rankin scale (mRS) were 0 score in 10 patients and 1 score in 1 patient. Conclusion: Treatment of intracranial complex aneurysms with PED has good effect and safety.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of nosocomial infection in Department of Neurosurgery and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of infection.Methods A total of 931 patients with neurosurgery operation in our hospital from January 2012-January 2016 were collected medical history data immediately after admission,including age,gender,underlying diseases,and primary diseases.Surgical records include preoperative white blood cell count,blood glucose level before operation,duration of operation,and reoperation.Hospitalization records include hospitalization time,without the use of corticosteroids,with or without the use of proton there is no pump inhibitor,and tracheal intubation / incision.Patients were divided into infection group and non infection group according to whether the hospital infection occurred during hospitalization.The difference of two groups of clinical data with statistically significant variables was Logistic multivariate regression analysis.Results There were 112 patients with nosocomial infection,the infection rate was 12.03％,and the infection occurred in the postoperative 3-25 d.The main infection site was postoperative wound,accounting for 35.7％;respiratory tract,accounting for 34.8％.There were 64 strains of pathogenic bacteria,81 strains of Gram-negative bacteria,accounting for 64.1％,21 strains of gram positive bacteria,accounting for 32.8％,2 strains of fungi,accounting for 3.1％.There were significant difference between infection group and non infection group in ≥ 60 years,with basic diseases,reoperation,combined with other injuries,white blood cells,abnormal preoperative hyperglycemia,glucocorticoid use,proton pump inhibitors use,tracheotomy,hospitalization time,operation time (P ＜ 0.05).Further Logisitc regression analysis showed that age,reoperation,hospitalization time,preoperative high blood sugar and tracheotomy were the risk factors of nosocomial infection in Department of neurosurgery.Conclusions For the older,reoperation,longer hospitalization time,preoperative hyperglycemia and tracheotomy patients can take specific measures to improve the immunity of the patients,the rational use of antimicrobial drugs to avoid the occurrence of postoperative infection.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL) by middle renal calice used as main access for the treatment of staghorn stones with the combination of pneumatic and ultrasonic lithotrite.Methods Clinical data of 73 patients underwent PCNL by middle renal calices as main access with 57 incomplete staghorn stones and 35 complete staghorn stones.The rate of stone removal and complications were the main points of the analysis.Results Seventy-two cases underwent first session PCNL by single access tract(middle calices),3 cases underwent first session PCNL by double access tracts (2 cases by middle and lower calices,1 case by upper and middle calices).Of these patients,1 case had fragments with no further treatment,16 cases underwent second session PCNL.All were treated by single access tract (middle calices) and 2 cases had extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy before the second PCNL.Seventy-six cases composed of 27 complete staghorn stones and 49 incomplete staghorn stones had no residual fragments with the stones removal rate 82.6％ (76/92).Hemoglobin dropped 1-4 g/L,11 cases and 3 cases were given blood transfusion in the operation procedure and post operation respectively.One case developed pyelonephritis and 1 case had split renal dysfunction with peri-parenchyma infection.Conclusions By middle calices as a main access to perform PCNL for staghorn stones is effective and safe.Using pneumatic and ultrasonic lithotrite will be very useful with high stones free rate and short procedure time and less complication.

Objective To study the effect of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection ( Dex) on awakening quality in Pediatric Patients with congenital heart disease undergoing fast_track anesthesia and whole Video_assisted thoracoscoPic surgery. Methods One hundred and twenty Pediatric Patients ( ASA I orIIleVel) with congenital heart diseases were randomly chosen for this study. They receiVed femoral artery and Vein cannulation to establish cardioPulmonary byPass and three small holes were obtained in the right chest for the PurPose of undergoing the whole Video_assisted thoracoscoPic surgery on rePairmen of atrial sePtal defect or simPle Ventricular sePtal defect. They were randomly diVided into two grouPs: Dex_assisted fast_track anesthesia grouP (D grouP,n=60) and general fast_track anesthesia grouP (C grouP,n=60). Each one in grouP D was injected with loading dose of Dex (1 μg·kg-1),then was intraoPeratiVely infused with maintenance dose of 0. 5 μg·kg-1·h-1. Children in grouP C were giVen the same dose of saline in the same way. Hemodynamic changes in the two grouPs at each time Point:before anesthesia ( t0 ) ,at the time of extubation ( t1 ) ,5 min Post_extubation ( t2 ) ,10 min Post_extubation ( t3 ) ,15 min Post_extubation ( t4 ) , 30 min Post_extubation (t5) and at the time of transferring out of CICU (t6),resPectiVely,were obserVed. Restlessness extent, incidence,time of eye oPening after calling, fully awaking time, extubation time, the time of transferring out of CICU and VAS scores,were also recorded. Results From t0 to t2-t5 ,SBP in D grouP was decreased from (114. 2±10. 5) mmHg to (107. 2±10. 3) -(105. 3±11. 3) mmHg,DBP decreased from (61. 3±9. 2) mmHg to (58. 8±7. 8) -(57. 3±6. 3) mmHg,and HR gradually decreased from (95. 2±15. 7) time·min-1 to (85. 7±13. 7)-(83. 3±12. 6) time·min-1,with significant differences (P<0. 05). ComPared with C grouP,SBP and DBP at t2-t5 were decreased significantly (P<0. 01),and HR at t1-t5 decreased significantly (P<0. 01). OVerall incidence of agitation was significantly higher in grouP C than in grouP D (48. 3%vs. 16. 7%,P<0. 01). Incidence of moderate and seVere agitation were significantly higher in grouP C than in grouP D (18. 3%vs. 6. 7%,and 20%vs. 1. 7%,resPectiVely,P<0. 01). In grouP D,time of eye oPening after calling,fully awaking time,extubation time,and the time of transferring out of CICU were Prolonged,without significant difference as comPared with grouP C (P>0. 05). VAS at 30 min after extubation was significantly higher in grouP C than in grouP D(4. 7±0. 7 vs. 2. 4±0. 6,P<0. 05). Conclusion Injection of Dex with loading dose (1 μg·kg-1) and intraoPeratiVe infusion of maintenance dose of 0. 5 μg·kg-1·h-1 in children with congenital heart disease undergoing fast_track anesthesia and whole Video_assisted thoracoscoPic surgery could be conduciVe to maintain hemodynamic stability, reduce restlessness occurrence, enhance security during awakening Process, and alleViate Post_oPeratiVe Pain.

Objective To explore the effect of Flavokawain B on the proliferation and apoptosis of acute T lymphoblastic leukemia(T -ALL)cells and its preliminary mechanism.Methods After the T -ALL cell lines CEM-C7(sensitive to glucocorticoids)and MOLT -4(resistant to glucocorticoids)cells were treated with different concentrations of Flavokawain B,the influence of Flavokawain B on the growth rate and doubling time of CEM-C7 and MOLT -4 cells was observed by 3 -(4,5 -dimethylthiazol -2 -yl)-5 -(3 -carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2 -(4 -sulfophenyl)-2H -tetrazolium(MTS)assay,and apoptosis was analyzed by using flow cytometry.Furthermore,Wes-tern blot assay was used to detect the expressions of Bim,Bcl -2 and cleaved Caspase -9.At last,the expressions of Bim and Bcl -2 in clinical T -ALL patient samples were also detected by using Western blot assay.Results MTS as-say showed that Flavokawain B significantly inhibited the cellular proliferation of T -ALL cell lines in a dose and time dependent manner(P <0.01 ).Flow cytometry findings revealed that Flavokawain B significantly induced the apoptosis of T -ALL cells in a dose -dependent manner(P <0.001 ).Western blot results indicated that Flavokawain B in-creased the expression of Bim and cleaved Caspase -9,and decreased the expression of Bcl -2 in T -ALL cell lines, which increased Bim and decreased Bcl -2 in clinical T -ALL patients samples,both in a dose -dependent manner. Conclusions Flavokawain B can inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of T -ALL cells by up -regulating the expression of Bim and down -regulating the expression of Bcl -2 and activating Caspase -9,whether resistant to glu-cocorticoids or not.
