Objective To discuss clinical factors associated with high serum bilirubin level postoperatively in patients with liver cancer. Methods In this study,130 postoperative cases of primary liver cancer were divided into two groups of high serum bilirubin and of normal bilirubin according to serum bilirubin level during two weeks of postoperation. Results Preoperative serum bilirubin、 Child grade、 operation time、 blood loss and types of hepatic vascular exclusion were correlated with the level of postoperative serum bilirubin. Types of hepatic vascular exclusion was a independent factor predicting postoperative elevation of serum bilirubin level. Conclusions Preoperative liver function, operation time, types of hepatic vascular exclusion and blood loss are all among factors influencing postoperative serum bilirubin level.

Over the years,cerebral vasospasm has been regarded as one of the important factors influencing the prognosis in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.Studies have shown that cerebral vasospasm is associated with nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase after subarachnoid hemorrhage,and regulating the synthesis of nitric oxide may play an active role in the treatment of cerebral vasospasm.

Objective To investigate myostatin gene mRNA expression in the muscle tissue from patients with muscle weakness suffering from different illness.Methods The clinical data of our patients were all from the Muscular Disease Center,Department of Neurology,People' s Liberation Army General Hospital.A total of 75 patients suffered from muscular weakness were included consecutively.Skeletal muscle biopsies were obtained with informed consent from all 75 patients.The diagnosis was confirmed by two senior doctors for muscular disease according to the clinical feature,the results of electromyography,serum creatine kinase activity and histopathological examination.Among of them,21 cases were diagnosed as polymyositis,15 cases progressive muscular dystrophy,5 cases neurogenic amyotrophy,4 cases chronic muscle fiber damage,4 cases mitochondrial myopathy,4 cases lipid storage myopathy,4 cases myotonic dystrophy,3 cases muscular dystrophy in adults,2 cases dermatomyositis,and 2 cases inclusion body myositis.There were 2 cases characterized by pure high activity of creatine kinase.And the other 9 cases were diagnosed as non-neuromuscular disease.The expression of myostatin gene mRNA in muscle tissue was evaluated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method,with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase as internal reference.Results The expression of myostatin gene mRNA was detected in 63 patients,but not in other 12 cases,and the percentage of positive expression was 84％.The expression index was with great variation,from 0 to 3.52.In positive cohort,the index was correlated positively with the duration of disease (r =0.236,P =0.041).The activities of creatine kinase in positive expression cohort were higher than that of negative one,but nonsignificantly.Conclusion The expression of myostatin gene mRNA in muscle tissue may not correlate to the entity of atrophic muscular disease because of its great variation.

Recently,increasing cancer researches focus on antibody-drug conjugates(ADCs) which can improve the anti-tumor potency with less adverse effect while benefiting patients in the future. However,safety evaluation of ADCs is a big challenge because of complex components as well as in experience in preclinical studies. In this review,the authors reviewed the mode of action,hazard risks,and toxicity observed in preclinical/clinical studies of ADCs,summarized the preclinical studies of Adcetris(brentuximab vedotin)and Kadcyla(ado-trastuzumab emtansine),and suggested a better strategy of ADCs in preclinical safety evaluation.

Objective To study the clinical application s of intravenous myocardial contrast echocardiography (IMCE) in assessing myocardial reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using intravenously infused Levovist. Methods IMCE was performed in 13 AMI patients before and after thrombolytic therapy. The power Doppler signals of the myocardial segments were analyzed and the time-amplitude curves were plotted during Levovist infusion and incremental triggering. The maximal amplitude score (A), the mean ascending slope of the curve(?) and the product of A?? were measured. All patients were followed up for 3 months. And then IMCE indices were estimated for left ventricular function. Results There was a significant increase in A,? and A?? between before and after thrombolysis(P

The hemodynamics of 49 scheduled patients during anesthesia and opration for mitral and aortic valve replacement were studied with the insertion of SwanGanz catheter and by the method of thermodilution technics.Pre-anesthesia CI and LVWI were in the nor mal range with abnormal MPAP, PCWP, PTRI and RVWI.Increase of RAP and decrease in MPA,PCWP, MAP, CI, LVWI and RVWI were observed during induction of anesthesia. The hemodynamic parameters returned to or exceded the pre-anesthesia values after trachcal intubation and sternotomy. The CI, MAP, MPAP, PCWP, LVWI and RVWI decreased signifi- cantly after insertion of aorta and vena cava catheter. The reduction of MPAP, P(IWP,PTRI and RVWI post-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were significant and persistent with no change of PVRI.The lower MAP,SVRI and deterioration of cardiac performance post-CPB indicate that the administeration of positive inotropir agents and restoration of hematocrit are nec essary as early as possible.

Aim To establish an ideal two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis( 2-DE) method for serum proteomic research. Methods The 2-DE experiment of serum was opti-mized by adjusting the conditions of sample pretreatment and silver nitrate staining. Results An ideal 2-DE experiment method with higher repetition was established. The number of protein spots and the resolution were both increased,and this method was compatible with MS analysis. Conclusion After the adjustments and optimizations,an ideal method of 2-DE technique for serum is established,which has a high reference value for the relevant researches,and lays an experimental foundation for the search,analysis as well as identification of the disease related proteins in serum.

Objective:To study memory changes in patients with non-demented Parkinson disease(PD) without depression.Methods:The Nissen Version(serial reaction time task,SRTT) software(as a task of procedural learning),the WMS-CR and two tasks of implicit memory were applied in 16 PD patients(Hoehn-Yahr score I~Ⅱdegrees).Normal controls enrolled for the Nissen Version either.Results In the explicit WMS-CR and the implicit(word stem completion and degraded picture naming) tasks,the patients' scores fell within normal limits(Memory Quotient 97.1?10.6).In the SRTT,normal control group displayed significantly reduced response times(F=2.54,P=0.008) and error rates(3.2 ?0.9% to 6.8 ?2.7%,t=-2.08,P=0.045) across the blocks of repeated sequence trials.By contrast,PD patients only showed a reduction in error rates(4.7?2.0% to 3.7?1.8%,t=-2.15,P=0.038) but no change in response times.Conclusion:Impairment of nigrostriatal pathways selectively affects performance in visuo-motor learning tasks such as the SRTT,but not in the explicit tasks of WMS-CR and the implicit tasks such as word stem completion and degraded picture naming.

Objective To explore the value of the square for intracranial puncture orientation applying in the intracranial hematoma microinvasive craniopuncture scavenging technique. Methods Fifty-one patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were randomly enrolled into the orientation square group( n=27)and the CT orientation routine group (n=24). The puncture point was fixed by certain wayin each group. Both groups received the same intracranial hematoma microinvasive craniopuncture scavenging technique. The punctural precision,the time spended for puncture orientation and the curative effect in two group were observed and compared. Results The deflected rate(18.5%)of the orientation square group was lower than that routine group significantly(50.0%)(P
