Objective:To investigate the intervention effect of vitamin C for the treatment to diabetes patients with diabetes and gastric ulcer.Methods: 53 cases of patients with diabetes combined with gastric ulcer were selected as the research subjects, and were divided into a control group(23) and a intervention group(30). The patients in two groups were given the treatment of reducing blood sugar and anti-HP triple therapy. The intervention group was given additionally diet intervention via eating vitamin C. The blood sugar, blood lipid levels, gastric ulcer index and inflammatory markers of the two groups were reviewed six months later by helicobacter pylori type detector. And the statistical analysis was performed.Results: After treatment, the blood sugar, blood lipid levels, gastric ulcer index and inflammatory markers of the two groups were significantly improved (t=1.23,t=1.35,t=2.63,t=1.07,t=0.77,P<0.05), except for the HP cure rate (P>0.05). Other indexes of the intervention group are significantly better than the control group (t=1.45,t=1.67,t=2.33, t=1.55,P<0.05).Conclusion:Vitamin C play a very good role in the treatment and prevention for the blood sugar, the blood lipids, gastric function and inflammation of patients with diabetes and gastric ulcer, and helicobacter pylori type detector can simplify the detection of helicobacter pylori.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of primary suture in laparoscopic common bile duct exploration(LCBDE) for treating choledocholithiasis.Methods The clinical data in 185 cases of choledocholithiasis underwent LCBDE in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from March 2010 to October 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into 1aparoscopic common bile duct exploration and primary suture(LBEPS) group(117 cases) and T tube drainage group(68 cases) according to different processing modes of common bile duct incision.The operative time,intra-operative blood loss amount and postoperative complications were observed in the two groups.Results All operations were successfully performed in both two groups without converting to laparotomy.The operative time,intra-operative blood loss amounts and postoperative complications had no statistically significant differences between the LBEPS group and T tube drainage group(P>0.05).The postoperative hospital stay of the LBEPS group was significantly shorter than that of the T tube drainage group(P<0.01).There was no bile duct stricture or stone recurrence during the follow up period in the two groups.Conclusion Under strictly grasping the operation indication,selecting correct suture material and possessing practiced operating skills,primary suture of laparoscopic choledocholithiasis is safe and feasible,can avoid the risk of T tube placing related complications,has short postoperative hospitalization duration and increases postoperative living quality.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between apoE gene polymorphisms and gallstone. Methods We included all the published studies on the association between apoE gene polymorphisms and gall-stone. A meta-analysis was employed to summarize all these studies, calculate the pooled OR and its 95% confidence interval (95% CI) , and test the overall effects. The Egger's publication bias analysis and sensitivity analysis were carried out to evaluate the reliability and stability of the meta-analysis. Results Eleven association studies between the apoE gene polymorphisms and gallstone fulfilled our inclusion criteria. There were 1248 patients with gallstones and 1660 controls. Remarkable heterogeneities were discovered in the allele ε4 and genotype E3/E4 of apoE between gallstone and control subjects in these studies (P<0. 05). Their ORs and 95%CIs were 1.32 (1.01, 1. 71), 1. 60 (1. 04, 2. 46), respectively (P<0. 05). The results of sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis showed the reliability and stability of this meta-analysis. Conclusion apoE gene polymorphisms are associated with gallstone. Those with the alleleε4 or genotype E3 /E4 had a higher risk of suffering from gallstone.

The understanding of anatomical structures and their adjacent relationship is the founda-tion and key to the development of surgical skills and clinical thinking. In clinical teaching for residents and graduate students , we took the advantage of donor operations in organ transplantation and showed abdominal anal operations anatomical features and relationships through different view angles and compre-hensive ways. This new teaching approach was designed in accordance with processes of organ donation, procurement and back-table operation. The main contents included anatomy of abdominal wall layers, rela-tionships among abdominal organs, locations and courses of important structure, as well as medical human-istic education. In the context of organ donation becoming more and more popular and standardized after the cardiac death of Chinese citizens, this teaching approach is worth exploring.

Objective To evaluate the protective effect of hydrogen-rich saline on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in mice. Methods Thirty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham-operated (SO) group, I/R group (mice were injected with 5 ml/kg saline by tail vein just before ischemia induction) and hydrogen-rich saline group (mice were injected with 5 ml/kg hydrogen-rich saline). At the 6th h after reperfusion, the sera and renal samples subject to IR injury were collected. The Scr and BUN levels in serum were determined and renal histological changes were also examined. The apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells was measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling assay. Malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in renal samples were measured using specific kits. The infiltration of F4/80 positive macrophages and neutrophils was assayed by using immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-17 was detected by using real time reverse transcription PCR. Results As compared with LR group, at the 6th h following reperfusion the levels of Scr and BUN were significantly reduced (P<0.05), histological changes obviously alleviated (P<0.01), apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells and MDA contents was decreased (P<0.05) in hydrogen-rich saline group. Moreover, the infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils, and the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-17 in renal tissue in hydrogen-rich saline group were also declined as compared with IR group (P<0.05). Conclusion Hydrogen-rich saline can ameliorate renal IR injury to some extent, which is associated with inhibition of inflammatory response induced by reperfusion.

Objective: To explore the apoptosis-inducing effect of salvianolate on hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells and the underlying mechanism. Methods: SMMC-7721 cells were co-cultured in vitro with different concentrations (0.5, 1, 2 mg/ml) of salvianolate for 24 h. The apoptotic SMMC-7721 cells were examined by flow cytometry, and the changes of mitochondrial transmembrane potential were examined by mitochondrial transmembrane potential JC-1 kit. The activities of caspase-8, caspase-9, and caspase-3 were detected by spectrophotometry in the hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells after co-cultured with 1 mg/ml salvianolate. The changes of apoptotic SMMC-7721 cells induced by salvianolate in the presence or absence of caspase-9 inhibitor or caspase-3 inhibitor were measured by flow cytometry. The expressions of pro-apoptotic protein Bax and anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 were detected by Western blotting analysis. Results: Salvianolate significantly induced apoptosis of hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells (P<0.05), and the decline of mitochondrial membrane potential increased with the increase of salvianolate concentration (P<0.05). The activities of caspase-9 and caspase-3, but not caspase-8, were increased in hepatoma cells after treatment with 1 mg/ml salvianolate for 24 h (P<0.05). The apoptosis-inducing effect of salvianolate was significantly decreased in the presence of caspase-9 or caspase-3 inhibitors (P<0.05). Western blotting results showed that salvianolate increased pro-apoptotic protein Bax expression and decreased anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 expression. Conclusion: Salvianolate can induce the apoptosis of human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells in a dose-dependent manner, which is probably mediated by mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

BACKGROUND:O-arm navigation integrates CT image quality and the flexible mobility of the C-arm. Surgery for severe spinal deformity is very difficult, with high incidence of nerve injury, so it is a chalenging surgery for spinal surgery. The role of O-arm in the correction of spinal deformity is particularly important. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect and safety of pedicle screw placement in severe spinal deformity under the guidance of O-arm navigation system. METHODS:Clinical data of 25 patients with severe spinal deformity with the aid of O-arm navigation were retrospectively analyzed. We observed pedicle screw insertion, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, correction of scoliosis and correction of kyphosis, and assessed the safety of screw insertion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Totaly 326 pedicle screws were implanted in 25 patients. According to NEO classification, 280 pedicle screws (92%) belonged to grade 0 (no perforation of pedicle cortex). Grade 1: perforation of pedicle cortex, < 2 mm, including 44 screws (8%); grade 2: perforation of pedicle cortex, > 2 mm, < 4 mm, including 0 screw (0%); grade 3: perforation of pedicle cortex, > 4 mm, including 0 screw (0%). (2) Operation time was (272.3±17.3) minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was (1 710.0±229.1) mL. (3) Cobb angle of scoliosis was changed from (70.5±6.0)° preoperatively to (22.8±4.8)° postoperatively. Cobb angle of kyphosis was changed from (72.0±5.2)° preoperatively to (28.1±5.7)° postoperatively. Significant differences were detected (P< 0.05). (4) These findings verify that with the guide of the O-arm navigation system, the accuracy of screw insertion is high. The risk of intraoperative nerve injury was reduced. The scoliosis and kyphosis deformity were improved effectively.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of HAA regimen (homoharringtonine,cytarabine and aclarubicin) in the treatment of 150 newly diagnosed adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods All patients entered the study from May 1999 to June 2008 were treated with HAA regimen. Coxsurvival analysis was used to estimate the survival rate and differences between M1/M2 and M4/M5 were compared with 2-sided log-rank test. Results Out of the 150 patients, 121 (81%) achieved complete remission (CR). After the first course, CR rate was 68%. The CR rates of 97%, 84% and 38% were achieved in patients with favorable, intermediate and unfavorable cytogenetics, respectively. For the patients with CR, the median follow-up time was 16.5 ( 1.5-100.5 ) months, and the estimated 3-year survival rate was 45%. The estimated 3-year relapse free survival rate was 52% for the 121 patients with CR.Conclusions HAA regimen may be an efficacious and safe regimen with a good toleration in the induction therapy for newly diagnosed AML, and a high CR rate could be achieved with only one or two courses.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term nucleos (t) ide analogue treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods Two hundred and two initially treated patients with CHB admitted in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital during March 2013 and August 2016 were enrolled in the study.Patients were divided into six groups according to the different antiviral therapy:adefovir group (ADV,n =43),entecavir group (ETV,n =44),lamivudine group (LAM,n =25),telbivudine group (LDT,n =23),LDT + ADV group (n =22),and LAM + ADV group (n =45).HBV DNA negative conversion rate,HBeAg serological conversion rate and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline and at 48th,96th,144th wk of treatment were measured.Chi-square test and repeated measure of ANOVA were used to analyze the data.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was applied to detect the relevant risk factors of renal dysfunction in CHB patients.Results After treatment for 144 wks,the HBV DNA negative conversion rates in ETV and LDT group were higher than that in ADV group (both P ＜ 0.01),the levels of eGFR in ADV,ETV,LAM and LAM + ADV group were declined with time,while the eGFR levels in LDT and LDT + ADV group were increased with time (Ftime =3.939,Fgroup =3.983,P ＜0.01 or ＜0.05).After treatment for 96 wks and 144 wks,the levels of eGFR were higher in LDT and LDT + ADV group than those in other groups,respectively (all P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥40 (x2 =16.145,OR =4.452,95 ％ CI 2.149-9.223,P ＜ 0.05),mild abnormality of eGFR at baseline (x2 =16.449,OR =4.336,95％ CI 2.144-8.891,P ＜ 0.05),and ADV treatment (x2 =5.837,OR =5.280,95％ CI 1.369-20.365,P ＜ 0.05) were independent risk factors of renal dysfunction in CHB patients.Conclusion LDT long-term monotherapy or combination with ADV may improve renal function for patients with CHB,which provides a reference for long-term treatment of CHB patients with nucleos(t) ide analogues.

Objective To analyze the levels of serum thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor ( TAFI) in patients with chronic hepatitis B ( CHB ) with different degrees of hepatic fibrosis , and to evaluate the value of TAFI in the evaluation of liver fibrosis .Methods Forty six patients with CHB who underwent liver biopsy from June 2016 to March 2017 in Zhejiang Provincial People' s Hospital were enrolled.According to liver fibrosis stage (S0-4), they were divided into mild liver fibrosis group (S0-1, n=16), significant liver fibrosis group (S2, n=15) and severe liver fibrosis group (S3-4, n=15).At the same time, 16 healthy subjects were randomly selected as health controls in the physical examination center of the hospital .Serum TAFI levels were analyzed in each group , and the receiver operating curve ( ROC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of TAFI in CHB patients with significant liver fibrosis and severe liver fibrosis (S≥2).The SPSS 23.0 software was used to analyze the data .Results Serum TAFI levels in the mild liver fibrosis group , significant liver fibrosis group , severe liver fibrosis group and health controls were (63.4 ±18.2), (43.8 ±20.4), (27.5 ±19.2) and (71.3 ±25.6) ng/mL, the difference between the four groups was statistically significant (F=13.512, P<0.01).The level of TAFI in the significant liver fibrosis group was lower than that in the healthy control group and the mild liver fibrosis group (t=3.283 and 2.822, P<0.01).The level of TAFI in the severe fibrosis group was lower than that in the significant liver fibrosis group (t=2.260, P<0.05).Serum TAFI levels were negatively correlated with liver fibrosis stage (r=-0.562, P<0.01).The area under the ROC curve of TAFI for predicting liver fibrosis (S≥2) was 0.832, and the sensitivity and specificity were 81.3％and 78.3％, respectively. Compared with the APRI score and the FIB4 index, the difference was not statistically significant ( P >0.05).Conclusion The serum TAFI level is negatively correlated with the degree of liver fibrosis in CHB patients, which has a good diagnostic value for liver fibrosis (S≥2) in patients with CHB.
