Objective To analyze and investigate the diagnosis method and treatment measures of insulinoma.Methods The clinical data in 16 cases of insulinoma in the hepatobiliary surgery of our institute from Dec.2008 to Dec.2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results All cases had typical Whipple′s triad,the biochemical examination suggested that all cases had plasma glucose decrease and plasma insulin increase during the onset period.The imaging examinations included preoperative ultrasonography,enhanced CT,MRI,EUS and intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS).Their diagnosis positive rates were 56.3% (9/16),77.8% (7/9),80.0% (8/10),100.0%(2/2) and 100.0%(5/5) respectively.Sixteen cases all received surgical treatment,including local tumor excision in 6 cases,simple distal pancreatectomy in 3 cases,distal pancreatectomy plus splenectomy in 5 cases and pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD) in 2 cases.Plasma glucose level in all cases was significantly increased after tumor removal.Postoperative follow-up lasted for 1-5 years without recurrence and metastasis.Conclusion The first choice of insulinoma localization diagnosis is CT and MRI,intraoperative palpation combined with IOUS is the main method of intraoperative localization,and the surgical resection is the only effective method for treating this disease.

Objective To explore the expression of aquaporin (AQP)-4 in white matter of spinal cord after spinal cord contusion (SCC). Methods 88 adult Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned randomly to sham operation group and SCC group. The model was established by Al-len's method. BBB sore was used to assess the motor function of rats. The relative expression of AQP-4 mRNA was determined by Q-PCR technique. The localization of AQP-4 was observed by immunohistochemistry. Results BBB score showed motor dysfunction in SCC group, and it increased 7 and 14 days after SCC (t>5.061, P<0.001). The level of AQP-4 mRNA decreased on the 1st and 3rd days (t>50.44, P<0.001), and increased on the 5th day (t=-3.968, P=0.001), and lasted until the 28th day (t=-4.227, P=0.001) compared with that on the 3rd day. The immunohistochemistry showed AQP-4 was located on the process of glial cell and vascular endothelial cells in white matter of spi-nal cord. Conclusion AQP-4 may play various roles at different stages in SCC.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of lidocaine and ropivacaine for scalp block in providing adequate analgesia with minimum side effects during awake craniotomy.Methods60 patients, ASA 1～2, were randomized into either lidocaine (L) group (n=30) or ropivacaine (R) group (n=30). 1% lidocaine or 0.5% ropivacaine were taken for scalp nerve block 15 min before incision. Supplemental oxygen was given using nasal prongs that were adapted for the monitoring of end tidal CO2 and respiratory rate. Serial parameters about circulation and respiratory were measured and drug consumption were recorded.ResultsThe hemodynamic parameters of L group were higher than R group in the latter stage(P<0.05). L group was associated with significantly more consumption of sufentanil and more respiratory depression than R group(P<0.05).ConclusionRopivacaine, taking for scalp block undergoing awake craniotomy, is associated with less consumption of analgesic and less respiratory depression than lidocaine.

Objective To screen serum markers in patients with PBC by high-throughput protein chips encoded by the human genome. Methods High-throughput protein chips (contains a total of 38 400protein spots, including 17 718 human genes encoding proteins) were used to screen sera from 21 PBC patients, 20 disease control patients and 10 normal controls. Bioinformatics software was used to analyze information and statistical software was used to analyze the data to confirm the serum markers of PBC. Results The detection rate of protein spots using anti-GST antibody on the chip was 97. 6%, and the signal intensity correlation coefficient of double protein spots was 0. 98. Four serum markers( PDHA1, DBT,DLAT and HK1 )were screened by high-throughput protein chips between PBC group and the control group with a statistically significant. The positive rate of the four markers in the three groups was 66. 67% ( 14/21), 5.00% (1/20) and 0(0/10); 57. 14% ( 12/21 ), 5.00% (1/20) and 0(0/10); 52. 38% ( 11/21 ),0(0/20) and 0(0/10); 52. 38% ( 11/21 ), 0(0/20) and 0(0/10) respectively. All the four markers were different in the three groups with statistically significant (PDHA1 :x2 = 16. 79, P ＜0. 01 ;Fisher exact test,P=0. 000; DBT:x2 =12.86, P＜0. 01;Fisher exact test, P=0. 004; DLAT and HK1:Fisher exact test,P ＜0. 01 or 0. 05). Of those markers, antibodies to PDHA1, DBT and DLAT were the component of AMAM2 which had been used as the marker of PBC. Antibody to HK1 was identified as new marker of PBC,whose sensitivity to PBC was 52. 38% and specificity was 100. 00%. There were no serum marker were screened between the AMA-M2 positive and negative PBC patients. Only antibody to CENPB was identified to be significantly expressed between the ACA positive and negative PBC patients ( Fisher exact test, P =0. 000). Conclusions High-throughput protein chip encoded by the human gene is a technology for quick and comprehensive screening of new markers of PBC. Antibodies to HK1 could be used as new marker for PBC with highly sensitivity and specificity. No serum marker is found between the AMA-M2 positive and negative PBC patients whereas only antibody to CENPB is identified as marker between the ACA positive and negative PBC patients.

Background and purpose:Liver cancer resection and splenectomy are the main methods to treat hepatocellular carcinoma and hypersplenism. The aim of this study was to discuss the safety and feasibility of simultaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) for the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma with hypersplenism.Methods:Twenty-seven patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhotic hypersplenism underwent RFA and LS. The clinical data were also analyzed.Results:The surgery was converted to an open surgery in 1 patient, while laparoscopic splenectomy in a hand-assisted manner was performed in 2 patients. There were 31 liver tumors treated with RFA. Blood loss were 110-900 mL (mean=320 mL). Operation time were 72-127 min (mean=107 min). Subcutaneous emphysema occurred in 1 patient, and pancreatic leakage in another patient. Nine patients developed ascites. one patient suffered from massive haemorrhage, and emergency operation was adopted to stop bleeding. This patient recovered well after operation. No death was found during the hospitalization. Conclusion:Combining RFA with LS for the treatment of liver cancer and hypersplenism is minimally invasive, safe, and feasible.

Objective To observe the energy consumption of children with cerebral palsy before and after assisted walking. Methods From January, 2014 to October, 2015, 21 children in primary school of Grades 1~5 (control group) and 22 children with cerebral palsy in our hospital (observation group) were enrolled. They were required to walk in the 50 meters trail for six minutes. The resting heart rate, the walking distance and the heart rate after walking were measured, and the walking speed and the physical consumption index (PCI) were cal-culated. The observation group was tested with and without forearm crutches. Results Compared with the control group, the walking dis-tance and speed significantly decreased (t>10.653, P<0.001), and the PCI significantly increased (t>4.207, P<0.001) in the observation group. For the observation group without forearm crutches, the heart rate after walking, and the difference of the heart rate significantly de-creased (t=8.389, P<0.001), and the walking distance, walking speed and PCI decreased (t>2.382, P<0.05) when they walked with forearm crutches. Conclusion Assisted walking can decrease the energy consumption of children with cerebral palsy.
