Objective To study the experience of laparoscopic repair in gastric and duodenum perforation. Methods 35 patients with gastric and duodenum perforation were performed laparoscopic repair.Results 34 pati- ets with gastric and duodenum perforation were safely operated.1 case with perforation of gastric carcinoma was con- verted to open for radial gastrectomy.The mean time of hospitalization was 7.5 days.There was no intraoperative and postoperative complications.Pathological examination showed 4 patients with perforation of gastric ulcer and one with perforation of gastric carcinoma.Conclusion Laparoseopic repair was one of the safe,quick recovery and little suffering treatment for duodenum perforation.

Objective To investigate the expressions of CD133 and p53 in colorectal cancer and their clin-ical significances. Methods The expressions of CD133 and p53 in 74 colorectal cancer patients were detected by the immunohistochemistry method. The relationships of CD133 and p53 with the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis were analyzed. Results The positive expression rates of CD133 and p53 in colorectal cancer tissues were 33.8%and 55.4%,respectively. The expression levels of CD133 and p53 were not related to age,sex,tumor location and histological type ,and but were significantly related to the histological differentiation ,TNM stage and distant metastasis(P<0.05,respectively). The Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between the levels of CD133 and p53. Conclusions The high expressions of CD133 and p53 in colorectal cancer tissues were closely related to the histological differentiation and TNM stage. CD133 and p53 could be used as important biomarkers for the evaluation of malignant biological behavior,and the diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVE To determine the distribution of bacterial flora in hospital infection and to provide laboratory(evidence) for controlling hospital infection and selecting rationally antibiotics in clinic practice.METHODS All(isolates) were identified by routine procedure.MRSA and ESBLs-producing rate of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were(examined.) RESULTS Among all these clinical infectious specimens,there were 202 strains of Gram negative bacilli,(accounting) for 40.9%(202/495);166 strains of fungi,accounting for 33.5%;621 strains of Gram positive cocci,for 20.6%(102/495).Candida albicans,E.coli,Pseudomonas aerugionosa,C.tropicalis and C.glabrata took the first five bacteria in infection.Analysis of drug resistant bacteria suggested that the isolated rate of ESBLs-producing strains in Staphylococcus aureus be 47.6%,be CNS in MRCNS 78.1% and MRSA in SA be 42.3%.CONCLUSIONS Multidrug resistance and fungus infection are the main risk factors in our hospital.We must improve means of treatment on clinical work and use antibiotic rationally to reduce the infection rate.

Objective To explore the capability of Ang-1 gene delivery to acute myocardial infarction using targeted microbubbles carrying ICAM-1 antibody.Methods Thirty-seven rabbits' left circumfles branch coronary arteries were ligated for models.Three rabbits were injected with microbubbles carrying ICAM-1 to detect the ability of targeting.Thirty-four rabbit models were divided into 3 groups randomly as follow:IM group (n=12,accept direct intramuscular injection),ICAM-1 group (n=12,accept intravenous injection of targeted microbubbles and Ang-1) and control group (n=10,without any treatment).Ultrasonography were executed on all animals before and 2 weeks after the treatment.All rabbits were killed after 2 weeks and examined for Ang-1 mRNA and protein by RT-PCR and Western-Blot respectively.Microvessel density (MVD) counting of infracted myocardium,observed by factor Ⅷ immunochemical staining,was performed to value the proangiogenesis effect of Ang-1 delivered by targeted microbubbles carrying ICAM-1 antibody.The liver and the kidney in ICAM-1 group were taken to assess the systemic delivery.Results IM and ICAM-1 group showed significantly improvement in the ejection fraction (P＜0.05) while control group did not.Ang-1 mRNA and protein could be detected in IM and ICAM-1 group;however,the expression between the two groups showed no siginificant difference.None of the control animals showed Ang-1 expression.compared with ICAM-1 group,the MVD was greater in IM group.Ang-1 was not detected either in liver or in kidney in ICAM-1 group.Conclusions Targeted microbubbles carrying ICAM-1 antibody can deliver Ang-1 gene to ischemic myocardium directly.Meanwhile,it's as effective as IM injections besides the greater angiogenesis effect.This strategy improves the perfusion of acute myocardial infarction and the function of heart.

Objective To certificate the effects on transfection ratio and cells viability of ultrasound (US) acoustic intensity, radiation duration, microbubbles concentration and DNA concentration in delivery human angiopioetin-1 gene (hAng-1) into 293T cells by SonoVue microbubbles and decide the optimal transfection parameters. Methods Mix 293T cells and SonoVue microbubbles linked with eGFP-C_3-hAng-1 in a different way, detect the gene transfection ratio and cells viability under the various US intensity, radiation duration, microbubbles and DNA concentrations. Results The gene expression would be increased if enhanced the intenstiy of US,radiation time,microbubbles and DNA concentrations,and the cells viability would be kept more than 90% ( P <0. 01). Whereas,if the US intensity increased over 1. 5 W/cm~2 ,the duration over 30 s and microbubbles and DNA concentrations over 20% and 15 mg/L respectively,the gene expression would not increase significantly ( P > 0. 05),whereas coupled with obviously decreased cells viability( P <0. 01). Conclusions The optimal conditions of deliver hAng-1 gene into 293T cells by SonoVue microbubbles was mixing cells and microbubbles in a cell wall-sticky way,US intensity was 1. 5 W/cm~2, duration 30 s,20% microbubbles and 15 mg/L DNA concentration.

Objective To investigate the transfection efficacy and expression of Ang-1 gene and proangiogenesis in vitro and vivo by ultrasound-mediated microbubble destruction.Methods 293T cells were divided into three groups:group A was given hAng-1 plasmid and microbubbles plus ultrasonic irradiation,group B was given hAng-1 plasmid and ultrasound,group C was given hAng-1 plasmid only (without ultrasound).Forty-eight hours after transfection,the transient expression rate was observed under fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were taken to evaluate the mRNA and protein expression of Ang-1 respectively.Twenty-seven rabbit models of ligated left circumflex branch coronary artery were divided into 3 groups randomly as follow:group Ⅰ (accepted intravenous injection of SonoVue microbubble and Ang-1 plus ultrasonic irradiation),group Ⅱ (accepted intravenous injection of Ang-1 with ultrasound),group Ⅲ (control group).Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) was executed on all animals before and after the treatment.Two weeks after gene delivery,RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were taken to evaluate mRNA and protein expression of Ang-1 respectively.Microvessel density (MVD) counting of infracted myocardium,observed by Factor Ⅷ immunochemical staining,was performed to value the proangiogenesis effect of Ang-1 delivered by ultrasound mediated cavitation of microbubble.Results Green fluorescence was observed in group A and B by fluorescence microscopy,which was negative in group C.The transfection expression rate was significantly improved in group A ( P ＜ 0.01).In vivo,Microbubbles could be observed in former ischemic myocardium in MCEexamination and the Ang-1 mRNA and protein could be detected in group Ⅰ.On the other hand,the contrast agent was defected obviously and none of the animals showed Ang-1 mRNA and protein expression in other two groups.The MVD counting showed significant improvement in group Ⅰ whereas other two groups didn't.ConclusionsMicrobubble-enhanced ultrasound exposure can improve the Ang-1 gene transfection expression rate observably both in vitro and in vivo.This strategy for delivering has great proangiogenesis effect in vivo.

The present study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of a 0.4% carbomer gel and 1% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) containing artificial tears in treatment of dry eye patients. Sixty subjects with mean age of 45.89 years who had symptoms and signs of dry eye were enrolled in this prospective, investigator-masked and stratified random sampling study. The subjects were divided into two parallel groups with 30 subjects (60 eyes) in each group. One group received carbomer gel, and the other group received 1% CMC containing artificial tears. Subjects received the drops 3 to 4 times or more per day for 3 months. At the first visit time, the precorneal residence time of these two drops was measured. The efficacy was assessed by comparing the subjective symptoms (ocular dryness, foreign body sensation, burning sensation and pain), and the objective test results of tears breakup time, Schirmer's test and corneal fluorescein staining prior to the study and after the treatment. As a result, the ocular residence time of carbomer gel was significantly longer than that of 1% CMC (P<0.001). Most of the primary subjective symptoms and objective test results were improved after treatment in both carbomer gel group and 1% CMC group. As to the improvement of each symptom and objective test result, carbomer gel was more effective than 1% CMC group (P<0.01). In conclusion, carbomer gel had longer precorneal residence time and was more effective than 1% CMC in the treatment of patients with dry eyes.

Objective To test the efficiency of gene transfer and expression mediated by ultrasound and microbubble strategy in 293T cell. Methods SonoVue microbubbles were mixed with pla.smid DNA encoding hAng-1 and green fluorescent protein. The mixture of the DNA and microbubbles was administer to cultured 293T cells by ultrasound exposue. The ultrasound condition was 1. 5 W/cm~2 and 30 s. Forty eight hours later, transfer rate was assessed by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Cell viability was assayed by Trypan Blue staining. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis was used to examine the expression of hAng-1 mRNA and protein. Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to evaluate the integrity of the plasmid. Results The transfection expression rate of eGFP in 293T cells was markedly increased with the additon of 20% microbubbles and 15 mg/L DNA. Fetal calf serum had no influence on the gene transfer rate. Ultrasound irradiation combined with microbubbles couldn't destroy the integrity of plasmid. Conclusions Ultrasound-mediated microbubbles destruction can increase the transfection and expression of hAng-1 gene in 293T.
