Objective To study the effect of postoperative anticoagulant therapy after splenectomy in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension.Methods One hundred and forty patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension receiving splenectomy and periesophagastric devascularization were divided into anticoagulant group (76 cases) and control group (64 cases) by random number table,patients in anticoagulant group received postoperative anticoagulant therapy,principally according to the platelet count,gave ligustrazine,aspirin,low molecular heparin after operation; patients in control group without postoperative anticoagulant therapy.Postoperative monitoring platelet count and D-dimer,ultrasound or CT check the presence of portal vein thrombosis.Results Platelet count,D-dimer levels in anticoagulant group and control group in 2 days after operation were significantly increased,the difference was significant compared with preoperative [anticoagulant group:(95.73 ± 28.06) × 109/L vs.(38.41 ± 11.96) × 109/L,(3.61 ± 0.18) mg/L vs.(0.42 ± 0.09) mg/L;control group:(92.56 ± 27.75) × 109/L vs.(35.13 ± 11.38) × 109/L,(3.26 ± 0.16) mg/L vs.(0.37 ± 0.09) mg/L,P ＜ 0.05].Platelet count and D-dimer levels between two groups at preoperative and postoperative in 2 days had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).Ten cases of control group occurred postoperative portal vein thrombosis,anticoagulant group were 3 cases,portal vein thrombosis incidence of anticoagulant group [3.95％ (3/76)] compared with control group [15.62％(10/64)] was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Postoperative anticoagulant therapy after splenectomy in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension is an effective method to prevent portal vein thrombosis.

AIM: To construct subtractive libraries in association with heat adaptation differential expressed genes. METHODS: The experiment was carried out with heat adapted rat model and normal temperature control. mRNA was extracted from liver tissue and reverse-transcripted into cDNA. After cut and ligation, suppression subtractive hybridization was executed with each group of cDNA as tester and the other one as driver to construct subtractive libraries. Specificity of the libraries was evaluated by approach of comparing G3PDH gene PCR products with template from the library and unsubtractive sample. Reliability of the libraries was evaluated by primarily isolation and screening. RESULTS: PCR results confirmed that G3PDH concentration was greatly reduced compared with control group, which suggested that specificity of the libraries was high. 300 target segments were isolated from the library, 27 of them were verified to be differential expressed genes, which suggested that the libraries were reliable and efficient. CONCLUSION: This study founded the basis of further investigation on heat adaptation mechanism by approach of constructing subtractive libraries in association with heat adaptation differential expressed genes.

·AIM: To evaluate the recurrence rate and safety of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) augmented with mitomycin C (MMC) compared with amniotic membrane transplantation alone during the pterygium excision.·METHODS: We took a meta-analysis on this program.Pertinentstudieswereselectedthroughextensive searches of the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE,CBMdisc, CNKI. Pooled estimates were carried out in RevMan software V4.2.·RESULTS: Six trials reported postoperative recurrence rate of pterygium, included 882 eyes, three trials reported the complications. The results of meta-analysis showed that recurrence rate of AMT plus MMC group was 5.41％,AMT alone group was 16.89％, relative risk (RR) was 0.32, 95％CI ranged from 0.19 to 0.56, Zwas 4.06, P< 0.001. Two trials reported early complication as punctata keratitis, the incidence rate of AMT plus MMC group and AMT alone group were 17.14％ and 0.00％, RR was 12.11,95％CI ranged from 1.62 to 90.76.·CONCLUSION: Amniotic membrane transplantation with MMC is associated with lower recurrence rate compared with amniotic membrane transplantation alone in pterygium excision,whether accompanied a higher risk with adverse events need more investigation.

Objective To investigate the factors for retinopathy in premature infants. Methods Ophthalmologic mydri was conducted in premature infants and acording to the international classification of ROP, they were diagnosed as ROP. The risk factors of the incidence of ROP were statistically and respectively analyzed. Results Among total of 47 patients, 11 patients were found retinopathy of prematurity. Conclusion The body weight is lower, the gestation is shorter, incidence of ROP is the higher.

Tensegrity structure is comprised of compression-resis tant elements and a set of continuous tensile elements that are interconnected w ith each other. The stability of such system depends on maintenance of tensional integrity inside the structure, or what has come to be termed “tensegrity”. A ccording to studies on biology, cell structures are assembled on the basis of te nsegrity mechanism. Tensegrity of cytoskeleton can affect cell shape and functio n. Furthermore, some basic rules of mechanochemical transduction in cells can be well explained using tensegrity theory.

[Objective] To investigate the expression of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 (EIF5A2) and its clinical significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).[Methods] Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of EIF5A2 protein in 135 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,and analyzed the correlation between the expression of EIF5A2 protein and clinicopathological parameters,and its prognosis value.[Results] Immunohistochemical analysis showed that 68 cases were overexpressed in 135 cases of ESCC.Pearson's chi-square test indicated that the expression of EIF5A2 in ESCC was significantly correlated with T stage (P =0.006),lymph node metastasis (P =0.031) and clinic stage (P =0.026).The Cox proportional hazard model analysis showed that EIF5A2 was an independent prognostic risk factor for ESCC patients.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the median survival time of patients with the low expression was 72.5 months,which was significantly higher than that of patients with the high expression,the median survival time of it are 51.7 months (P ＜ 0.05).[Conclusion] The overexpression of EIF5A2 may contribute to the development and progression of ESCC and EIFSA2 could be a novel potential prognostic marker for ESCC.

Objective To detect levels of IL - 4 and INF - ? in induced sputum dynamically in children with mycnplasma pneamo-niae pneumonia( MPP), and to analyze the function of Th1 /Th2 cell factor immune response in the genesis and development of MPP, so as to evaluate the clinical value of induced sputum method in MPP research. Methods There were 38 cases who were diagnoses as MPP using 3% high osmotic pressure of saline water to ultrasonic atomizing inhalation for inducing sputum. ELISA was used to detect IL-4 and INF-?. Results The content of IL-4 in acute stage was higher than that in convalescence stage in induced sputum of MPP children. Severe stage was higher than mild stage. However, the comparison between acute and convalescence stage didn't have statistics difference in the content of INF-?, neither did the comparison between severe and mild stage. IL- 4/INF- ? in acute stage was higher than that in convalescence stage. Severe stage was higher than mild stage. In convalescence stage, the comparison of INF - ?, IL - 4, IL - 4/INF - ? between the severe and the mild didn' t have statistic significance. Conclusions IL-4 and INF - ? have participated in the monogenesis of MPP. The disequilibria of Th1 /Fh2 is existed in MPP and Th2 reaction predominates. So induced sputum analysis can be a better way to judge the light or heavy press degree of MPP practically, conveniently and sensitively.
