Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of acute pyogenic cholecystitis. Methods From January 2005 to May 2008,laparoscopic surgery was performed on 156 cases with acute pyogenic cholecystitis in our hospital. The clinical data of the patients were retrospectively reviewed. Four trocars were used for cholecystotomy. Major resection of the gallbladder or cholecystostomy was carried out if the anatomy of the Calot triangle was complex. Results Among the 156 operations,laparoscopic cholecystectomy was succeeded in 139 cases (89.1%); cholecystostomy was performed on 6 cases (3.8%); and 11 patients (7.1%) received laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC). None of the patients were converted to open surgery. The operation time ranged from 35 to 180 minutes with a mean of 75. Thirteen patients showed increased level of direct bilirubin and/or stones in the common bile duct (revealed by cholangiography during the bile duct dilation),and were cured by removing the stones under laparoscope and T tube drainage. The T tube was withdrawn in 2 months after cholangiography. Follow-up was available in all of the patients for 3 to 6 months. No jaundice,abdominal pain,fever or other complications occurred during the period. Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery is feasible,effective,and safe for acute pyogenic cholecystitis.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic values of tumor–stroma ratio and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in colorec-tal cancer. Methods:A total of 218 stageⅡorⅢprimary colorectal cancer patients were analyzed for the tumor–stroma ratio (TSR) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) by using HE stained histological sections. The relationship between TSR and clinicopatholog-ic variables and the difference in clinical outcomes of different groups were also analyzed. Results:Overall survival rates for the stro-ma-low group were significantly higher than the stroma-high group in stagesⅡandⅢcolorectal cancer (P<0.05). However, the differ-ences in TSR were not correlated with clinicopathologic features such as gender and age (P>0.05). Overall survival rates of patients with high TIL were significantly higher than patients with low TIL (P<0.05). Patients with high TIL had notable better prognosis than patients with low TIL (P<0.05) in the stroma-low group. Conclusion:TSR and TIL are independent prognostic factors for stagesⅡandⅢcolorectal cancer. The combined estimates of TSR and TIL in routine pathology diagnoses may provide more evidence to predict the prognosis of stagesⅡandⅢcolorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors for nosocomial pneumonia(NP) caused by imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(IRAB) and its antimicrobial susceptibility in vitro. METHODS The data of 34 cases of IRAB-NP were analyzed and 68 cases of NP caused by imipenem-susceptible A.baumannii(ISAB) were randomized as control.Antimicrobial susceptibility(MIC) was determined with the method of agar dilution. RESULTS The two independent factors associated with the development of IRAB-NP: previous fluoroquinolone(OR=5.738) and imipenem/meropenem(OR=7.129) use.The drug sensitivity test in vitro showed that these strains were multiresistant to commonly used antibiotics,and only ampicillin/sulbactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam whose resistance rate was less than 30%. CONCLUSIONS Previous imipenem/meropenem and fluoroquinolone use is independent risk factors for IRAB-NP.These strains are high drug resistant.

Pulmonary fibrosis is a common pathological change in many chronic lung diseases, and its pathogenesis and characteristics are mainly caused by repeated lung alveolar injury leading to abnormal activation of fibroblasts and the accumulation of large amounts of extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. Fibroblasts are not only responsible for constituting the interstitial structure of the lung but are also involved in the post-injury repairment in healthy lung tissue. In contrast, fibroblasts show a typical pro-fibrotic metabolic phenotype after differentiation into myofibroblasts during the development of pulmonary fibrosis. To synthesis large amount of collagen, the myofibroblasts have a strong metabolism characteristic of serine/glycine, glutamine, proline, and arginine. At the same time, the myofibroblast get the ability to resist cell apoptosis. As an important cell type for collagen degradation, fibroblasts reuse the amino acids of collagen to maintain cell metabolism. However, the myofibroblasts cannot degrade the ECM due to the suppression of autophagy activity, thus accelerating the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. This review attempts to summarize how amino acid metabolism of fibroblasts influence the pulmonary fibrosis.

LncRNAH19 has been implicated as having both oncogenic and tumor suppression properties in cancer. LncRNAH19 transcripts also serve as a precursor for miR-675. However, it is unknown whether LncRNAH19 and miR-675 are involved in the migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of LncRNAH19 and miR-675 on migration and invasion of HCC cells. The migration and invasion of HCC cells were measured by Transwell migration and invasion assays after transfection of HCC cells with miR-675 inhibitors and LncRNAH19siRNA. The levels of LncRNAH19 and miR-675 were detected by quantitative reverse transcriptase real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and the protein expression of AKT, GSK-3β and Cdc25A by Western blotting analysis. The expression levels of LncRNAH19 and miR-675 were higher in MHCC-97H cells than in L02, Huh-7 and HepG2 cells. Transwell migration assay revealed that the miR-675 inhibitor and LncRNAH19siRNA could significantly increase the migration of HCC cells (P<0.01) as compared with the control group. Transwell invasion assay demonstrated that the miR-675 inhibitor and LncRNAH19siRNA could significantly increase the invasion of HCC cells (P<0.01) as compared with the control group. Western blotting analysis showed that the expression levels of AKT and Cdc25A were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the expression level of GSK-3β was significantly decreased (P<0.05) after treatment with miR-675 inhibitors and LncRNAH19siRNA as compared with the control group. These findings suggested that inhibition of LncRNAH19 and miR-675 expression can promote migration and invasion of HCC cells via AKT/GSK-3β/Cdc25A signaling pathway.

Objective To research the possible influence of operation and human chorionic gonadotropin(HCG) therapy on the development of antisperm antibody (AsAb) and serum levels of estradiol (E_2) and testosterone (T) of cryptorchidism boys after orchiopexy. Methods Forty cryptorchidism boys were studied who were divided into HCG treatment group and without HCG treatment group. Twenty boys who underwent inguinal operation were studied as the operation control group and 20 normal boys as the control group. The serum were collected for detection AsAb, E_2,and T. Results There were no significant difference in serum levels of E_2 and T among the three groups(P 0.05 ). Conclusions The level of AsAb is associated with the destroy of blood barrier and the disorder of immune modulation and endocrine. Treatment with HCG has no effect on AsAb level.
