Compared with the regeneration ability of normal liver,that of liver with cirrhosis is so weak that its reserve function is insufficient,resulting in a great increase of chance of liver failure after partial hepatectomy,and limiting the development of major hepatectomy.It has been demonstrated that the hepatocytes of cirrhosis still possess the suppressed ability of regeneration.The morphological structures as well as physiological functions of regenerated hepatocytes are not complete.The important mechanisms leading to the impairment of regeneration ability include pathophysiologic changes such as excessive deposition of extracellular matrix and the capillarization,the imbalance of energy metabolism of hepatocytes and disruptive secretion of sinus endothelial cells and so on.The clinical observation is that many factors can stimulate the regeneration of liver with cirrhosis,including radiofrequency ablation,partial hepatectomy,associated liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy,splenectomy,drugs,cell transplantation,tokines et al.It is of great significance to promote the regeneration ability of liver with cirrhosis associated with various approaches reasonably for enhancing the security of partial hepatectomy and treatment of end-stage liver diseases.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of transabdominal perposterior mediastinum radical operation in the treatment of cardiac carcinoma. Methods Twenty-six cases of cardiac carcinoma invading low esophagus underwent transabdominal posterior mediastinum radical resection. Among them 9 patients received radical proximal gastroesophagectomy, and 17 cases did radical total gastroesophagectomy. Results The procedures were all successful. The mean operation time for total gastrectomy was (189±39) min, proximal subtotal gastrectomy was (153±35) min. The averge blood loss of total gastrectomy was (200±80) ml, proximal subtotal gastrectomy was (168±76) ml. The harvest of celiac lymph nodes were (23.3±7.3), esophageal lymph nodes were (4.1±2.0). Pneumonia was complicated in 4 cases and there was no anastomotic hemorrhage, leakage nor stenosis. All patients were followed up from 5 to 51 months, liver metastasis was found in 4 cases, lung metastasis in 2 patients and death in 1. There was no anastomotic stoma tumor recurrence. Conclusion It was feasible and safe to perform transabdominal perposterior mediastinum radical operation for cardiac carcinoma patients, provided that diaphragms was not involved and tumor invaded esophageal length was less than 5 cm.

Objective:To compare and analyse the clinical outcome, advantages and disadvantages of submental artery island flap (SAIF) and free anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) in the repair and reconstruction of tongue after radical surgery of tongue cancer.Methods:From January, 2016 to December, 2018, a total of 40 patients received tongue repair and reconstruction with either SAIF or ALTF after radical resection of tongue cancer. There were 28 males and 12 females, with an average age of 51 years old. Eighteen patients received tongue repair and reconstruction with SAIF and 22 with ALTF. Postoperative follow-up were carried out and the clinical data were collected. Swallowing, speech and softness of the tongue between the 2 repair methods were compared and statistically analysed. P<0.05 indicated a significant statistical difference between 2 groups. Results:All flaps survived. One ALTF had a venous vascular crisis. The flap survived after the removal of thrombus at the anastomotic site. Functional recovery of tongue was analysed after the follow-up of 12-48 months. It was found that there was no significant difference in speech function between the 2 groups (SAIF vs ALTF: 13 vs 15, P=0.206). The swallowing dysfunction in SAIF group was significantly higher than that of the ALTF group (SAIF vs ALTF: 15 vs 7, P=0.014). Moreover, the average time of surgery in SAIF group (3.5 h) was significantly less than that of the ALTF group (6.8 h), which had statistically significance ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The SAIF and ALTF are ideal flaps for repairing the tongue defect caused by tongue cancer surgery. SAIF features a simple surgical procedure and a short time for flap taking. ALTF provides sufficient amount of tissue to cover the scars left by the surgery, reduce donor site complications, and benefit the recovery of swallowing and speech functions.

Objective To study the relationship ofiliac vein, portal vein(PV) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV), explore the feasibility on application of iliac vein in extended pancreatoduodenoctomy, and observe the clinical results. Methods Portal system and iliac venous system were dissected in 20 adult corpses. The caliber, thickness and branches of iliac vein, PV and SMV were observed and compared. The application of iliac vein in extended pancreateduodenoctomy were studied in 2 patients. Results There were no branch in 30 mm near lilac vein, 1 branch in 30--50 nun and 2-3 branches in 51-70 ram. The thickness and caliber of iliac vein matched with PV's and SMV's, there was no significant difference. Only proper pro-longed operative incisions were needed and the operation time was 5-7 hours. Postoperative vascular throm-bosis, necrosis of intestine, liver failure and so on were not occurred. No evidence of vascular embolism and recurrence happened within 6-16 months' follow-up. Conclusion Uiac vein, as a choice, can be used for vasotransplantation in the pancreatoduodenectomy.

Aim To investigate the effects of Y-IP5 on morphine-induced behavioral sensitization and CPP in mice.Methods Locomotor activity was detected after Y-IP5 administration or co-administration of Y-IP5 with morphine in mice.Mice were treated with morphine to induce behavioral sensitization. Then the effects of Y-IP5 on the development, transfer and expression of morphine-induced behavioral sensitization were investigated. Mice were treated with morphine to induce CPP. Then the effect of Y-IP5 on the acquisition of morphine-induced CPP was studied.Results Y-IP5 itself didn′t influence locomotor activity of mice.Co-administration of Y-IP5 with morphine inhibited morphine-induced hyperactivity (P<0.05) and the development of morphine-induced behavioral sensitization in mice (P<0.05), however, did not influence the transfer and expression of morphine-induced behavioral sensitization.Co-administration of Y-IP5 with morphine also inhibited the acquisition of morphine-induced CPP (P<0.05).Conclusion Y-IP5 may inhibit the psychological dependence induced by morphine.

In order to investigate the effects of rhGM-CSF on apoptosis of HL-60 cells induced with VP-16 treatment, HL-60 cells were first incubated with rhGM-CSF before they were treated with VP-16. The apoptosis processes and the changes in apoptosis related gene bcl-2 and fas expression were observed. The morphological and ultrastructural changes were observed under optics microscope and electromicroscope. DNA fragmentation were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis, the apoptotic rate, bcl-2 and fas expression with flow cytometry. Our results showed that rhGM-CSF inhibited the apoptosis of HL-60 cells induced with VP-16 treatment, which enhanced the down-regulation of bcl-2 expression, but inhibited the up-regulation of fas expression. So it suggested that rhGM-CSF can decrease the sensitivity of HL-60 cells to VP-16, probably by down-regulation of fas expression.

Objective:To analyze clinical outcomes of myocardial incision and tearing for the treatment of myocardial bridge.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conduct to review the clinical date of 29 patients who underwent surgical myotomy from January 2014 to January 2018 in the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University. A total of 11 patients(incision group) were experienced traditional myotomy on myocardial bridge that the myocardium was longitudinally incised along the direction of the coronary artery, while 18 patients(tearing group) were treated by myocardial incision combined with tearing that longitudinally incised myocardium and deeply tissue tearing. The operation time of surgical myotomy, the amount of bleeding, the number of branches of vascular injury and the number of ventricular ruptures during operation were compared between the two groups. After followed up half a year to one year, the clinical symptoms of angina pectoris, myocardial ischemia by electrocardiogram suggested, and coronary stenosis by coronary CT suggested were collected.Results:The operation time of surgical myotomy, the amount of bleeding patients and the number of branches of vascular injury during operation in the incision group were higher than those in the tearing group( P<0.05). There was no significant difference for the number of ventricular ruptures during operation( P>0.05). After followed up half a year to one year, there was no significant difference in the clinical symptoms of angina pectoris, myocardial ischemia by electrocardiogram suggested, and coronary stenosis by coronary CT suggested( P>0.05). Conclusion:Myocardial incision combined with tearing is a surgical procedure with short operation time and low bleeding risk, which is more beneficial than the traditional longitudinally incised for the myocardial bridge.

Background/Aims: Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients often exhibit peritoneal metastasis, which negatively impacts their prognosis. CD31 and D2-40 have recently been suggested to be predictors of breast cancer prognosis, but their role in colorectal peritoneal metastasis (CRPM) remains unknown. Methods: The expression profiles of CD31 and D2-40 were analyzed in CRC patients with or without CRPM and in CRC cell lines with increasing metastatic potential. Overexpression and short hairpin RNA knockdown assays were performed in CRC cells, and the effects of these alterations on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro, growth of xenograft tumors in vivo, and peritoneal metastasis potential in a mouse model of CRPM were examined. Results: The expressions of CD31 and D2-40 were upregulated in CRC tumor tissues and was elevated further in tumor tissues from patients with CRPM. CD31 and D2-40 expression levels exhibited increasing trends parallel to the EMT potential of CRC cells. CD31 and D2-40 are essential for CRC cell EMT in vitro as well as for xenograft tumor growth and peritoneal metastasis in vivo. Conclusions CD31 and D2-40 contribute to CRPM by promoting EMT and may serve as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for CRC, particularly in patients with peritoneal metastasis.
