Carcinoma of gallbladder is the most frequently encountered malignancy of the biliary system. Early diagnosis is very difficult and the tumour resection rate is low,and the prognosis of carcinoma of gallbladder is very poor. With the increasingly widespread acceptance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC),the number of cases of unsuspected gallbladder carcinoma (UGC) has increased. However,management of UGC is a difficult issue in the absence of established guidelines. High age and history of stones are the risk factors for gallbladder carcinoma and they are related to UGC. Surgical handling and pneumoperitoneum play an important role in the metastasis. The surgical approach used for cholecystectomy would not seem to influence the outcome in patients with UGC. The tumour stage is the most important prognostic factor. To understand UGC better, we review its clinical characteristics,investigation,prognosis and especially the recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Objective To summarize some problems about the management of acute pancreatic pseuclocyst(PPC) by CT guided percutaneous drainage(PCD).Methods The recent domestic and foreign literatures were reviewed in order to explore the research advancement,such as indication,applied time,technique skill,complication and curative effect by CT guided PCD.Results This operation could be early performed in patients with acute PPC,preventing and decreasing the incidence of possible complications resulted from the traditional long-term observation and waiting.The technique skill of operation was easy with low incidence of complications and the effect was good.Combined use of somatostatin might shorten the treatment time.Some patients could be postoperatively managed in out-patient,thus the expense could be cut down.Conclusions CT guided PCD is a minimally invasive operation and is easy to perform with high effective rate and low incidence of complications and low cost.Reasonable selection of the indications and improvement of equipments and operation techniques may be helpful to improve the curative effect.The extended application of this operation is advised.

This research was designed to illuminate the change in biomechanical parameters of soft tissue for bite marks on porker limb. The authors used a prefabricate nob to press perpendicularly on porket limb and so to establish bite mark under three forces: 100 N, 200 N and 300 N. After the procedure of biting, the stress-strain relationship and changes in extension of soft tissue were recorded. Meanwhile, the elasticity was measured with a press meter at nine time-points. When bite mark was formed, with the development of stress, the strain of soft tissue increased. But the speed of increment slowed down when stress exceeded some extent. After bite mark was formed, the extension and elasticity of soft tissue decreased with the increase of pressure.

BACKGROUND:Exogenous neurotrophic factors or chemical induction can induce rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into neuron-like cells. However, exogenous inductors exert a short inducible action, and their chemical substances inevitably have a negative impact on cellviability to limit the application prospects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to a certain extent.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of glial cellline-derived neurotrophic factor, green fluorescent protein gene transfection by adenovirus vector on biological characteristics of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, to observe the expression of glial cellline-derived neurotrophic factor and green fluorescent protein and the role of nutrition on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and to explore the ability to differentiate into neuron-like cells induced by glial cellline-derived neurotrophic factor.
METHODS:The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells at passage 3 were transfected by recombinant adenovirus (Multiplicity of infection=10, 50, 80, 100, 150, 200). The experiment had two groups according to target genes:bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were transfected by Ad-GDNF-GFP in transfection group, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were not transfected in control group. The expression of green fluorescent protein was detected by inverted fluorescence microscope. Transfection efficiency was calculated by flow cytometry. cells viability and the morphological changes of cells were compared respectively by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and inverted fluorescence microscope between the two groups. On days 5 and 10 after transfection, the expression of glial cel-derived neurotrophic factor mRNA was detected by PCR. On day 5, the expression of neuron-specific enolase was determined by immunofluorescence examination. On day 10, the expression of microtubule-associated protein 2 was identified.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:By the end of 12 hours after transfection, the green fluorescent protein expressed in cells, and the fluorescence intensity gradual y increased with time. When the multiplicity of infection was 100, the fluorescence intensity was strong and stable, and the transfection rate was nealy 90%on day 3 after transfection. cellviability in the transfection group was strengthened after transfection. On day 5 after transfection, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells expressed neuron-specific enolase, and neuron-like protrusions gradual y extended. On day 10 after transfection, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells expressed microtubule-associated protein 2 and glial cellline-derived neurotrophic factor mRNA, and exhibited neuron-like morphology and interconnected synpases. The recombinant adenovirus, Ad-GDNF-GFP, can highly transfect bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells when the multiplicity of infection is 100, and glial cellline-derived neurotrophic factor can promote the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and induce bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into neuron-like cells.
