According to the ultrasonic manifestations of the gall bladder before laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC),including size,morphology,wall thickness,presence or absence of gallstone,congenital anomaly of biliary duct,surrounding adhesion and state of common bile duct,tbe patients Werc dividcd into 4 groups:A.Most suitable for LC,B.Sitable for LC,C.Relatively suitable for LC. D.Not suitable for LC.This provided clinicians the basis for patient selection.Comparing with the sur.gical findings,the coincidence rate of B-mode ultrasonography was 97.8%.Preoperative B-mode ul-trasonography of gall bladder has significant clinical value to relieve the patients from pain,decrease the operative risk and conversion rate of LC.

Objective: To study the UPLC-MS fingerprint of Bupleurum marginatum DC. in northwest Hubei and establish the quality evaluation system for the herb. Methods:A UPLC-MS method was used to analyze 10 samples of B. marginatum DC with the following chromatographic conditions:an ACQUITY UPLC? RBEH C18 column (100 mm × 2. 1 mm, 1. 7 μm) was used, the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0. 3% formic acid water with gradient elution, the flow rate was 0. 2 ml·min-1, and the detection wavelength was 203nm with ESI(-). Results:There were 8 common peaks in the UPLC-MS fingerprint of B. marginatum DC. Through analyzing the information of mass spectrometry and combining the references, 6 peaks were identified. Conclusion:The UPLC-MS fin-gerprint method is simple,rapid and feasible. The acquired UPLC-MS fingerprint of B. marginatum DC. and the evaluation indices can provide the scientific quality assessment of B. marginatum DC.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological features ,diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pleuropulmonary blasto-ma(PPB) .Methods A case of PPB was reported by light microscopic observation ,immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology study with review of related literature .Results A 45-year-old female was admitted to the hospital because of cough and dyspnea . Chest radiogram revealed a solid mass in the left lung .Grossly ,the tumor was described as a firm lesion with lumina or multicystic components and well-circumscribed margins .Microscopically ,the tumor was composed of sheets of malignant primitive small cells and fascicles of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma-like cells with foci hyalinized stroma .Beneath the benign epithelium ,the primitive mesenchymal cells showed as mixed blastematous and sarcomatous characteristics that plump spindle shaped cells presented poor differention with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasms and brisk mitotic activities .Immunohistochemically ,vimentin and MyoD-1 were positive in malignant small cells but some epithelial markers are negative .Meanwhile ,K-RAS extron 3 mutation was detected by high resolution melting analysis(HRMA) .Conclusion Pleuropulmonary blastoma(PPB) is a rare malignant tumor with unique clinicopathological features .It should be distinguished from some mimics such as pulmonary blastoma and embryonal rhabdomyo-sarcoma .

Objective To proceed deep data mining in large database obtained by Cancer Genome Anatomy Project and to distinguish the difference expression genes of gastric carcinoma.Methods The 300,783 serial analysis of gene expression records from 4 libraries of gastric cancer and 2 libraries of normal gastric tissue in database of the Cancer Genome Anatomy Project were analyzed by digital gene expression displayer.Results The 201 difference expression tags represented 136 genes(54 up-regulated and 82 down-regulated) and 65 ESTs(24 up-regulated and 41 down-regulated) were distinguished,and these genes were involved in biological process and signal transduction pathways,such as cell cycle regulation,cell proliferation and apoptosis.The gene expression profile in whole body normal and cancer tissues of PTMA were constructed by digital Northern based on serial analysis of gene expression database and by virtual Northern based on cDNA database,respectively.Conclusion The difference expression genes of gastric cancer can be distinguished effectively with bioinformatics,and the results will guide our further molecular biology research.If validated by molecular biology experiment,the difference expression genes will be used as molecular targets of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effectiveness and pathways of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) transplantation for acute hepatic failure in rats.Method hUCMSCs were isolated from umbilical cord with attachment culture method,and the surface antigens were tested by flow cytometry.Forty-eight male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups.The animal model of acute liver failure was induced by injecting intraperitoneally with 50％ olive oil solution of carbon tetrachloride (2.5 ml/kg).The treatment groups were injected with hUCMSCs suspension separately through the tail vein or injected into the liver 24 h post-modeling.Blood serum and liver tissues were collected at several time points to analyze the improvement of liver function and histological repair.Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of human CK8,CK18 and AFP mRNA in liver tissues.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of human CK18 in liver tissues.Result There were statistically significant differences among liver functions after transplantation (P＜0.05).hUCMSCs improved histological status through enhancing hepatocellular regeneration and reducing inflammatory cells.Real-time PCR results showed that the expression of CK8,CK18 and AFP mRNA was obviously increased in the tail vein transplantation group and hepatic lobe injection transplantation group as compared with the model group (P＜0.05).Immunochemistry results revealed that transplanted hUCMSCs in animal liver could differentiate into functional hepatocyte-like cells that expressed human CK18 as hepatocyte-specific marker in the tail vein transplantation group and hepatic lobe injection transplantation group.No significant differences in histological repair and grade of differentiation were examined between the tail vein transplantation group and hepatic lobe injection transplantation group (P＞0.05).Conclusion hUCMSCs can prompt the repair of acute liver failure and enhance pathological repair.Transplanted cells in animal liver can differentiate into functional hepatocyte-like cells that expressing hepatocyte-specific markers.Transplantation of hUCMSCs via the tail vein or direct injection into the liver had the similar therapeutic effects.
