Liver has great ability in regeneration,and liver regeneration is closely related to the prognosis of patients who received liver surgeries.The mechanisms of liver regeneration include biochemical theory and hemodynamic theory.Portal perfusion with moderate pressure is an important factor for starting liver regeneration.Hepatic artery buffer response,fluid shear stress and gasotransmitter play important roles in the liver regeneration.Learning the mechanisms of hemodynamic signal is of great importance for the treatment of liver diseases.

Objective To research the optimal test condition for determining TVOC in air based on GB 50325-2001 Code for Indoor Environmental Pollution Control of Civil Building Engineering. Methods Seven kinds of standard gas (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, p-dimethylbenzene, m-dimethylbenzene, ethenylbenzene and o-dimethylbenzene) were injected into Tenax-TA sampling tube, then heated for different time and pyrolyzed for different time. Results Tenax-TA sampling tube was heated for 30 seconds and pyrolyzed for 90 seconds. The recovery rate of seven kinds of compounds was more than 90%. Relative standard deviation was less than 10%. Conclusion The optimal test condition for determining TVOC in air has been presented in this paper. The precision and sample recovery rate will meet the requirement of indoor air quality standard annex A Indoor Air Monitoring Technology.

Objective To investigate the current formaldehyde pollution levels in the decoration materials in Beijing. Methods Some of the detecting samples were collectted selectively by sampling and some were provided by the manufacturers voluntarily. The contents of formaldehyde in the samples were determined according to the National Standard Detecting Method for the threshold of harmful substances in decoration materials. Results The emission levels of formaldehyde in 15 of 27 man-made board samples were higher than 1.5 mg/L and the rate exceeding the national standard was 56%. The formaldehyde emission level from 1 of the 4 wall-dope samples was higher than the national standard. In 7 gooey samples,the content of formaldehyde in 1 sample was higher than the national standard. The detecting results of 3 wallpaper samples were all accorded with the national hygienic standard. Conclusion The results of this investigation indicated that some problems did exist in the current decoration materials made in our country. The relatively serious problem among them was that the emission level of formaldehyde from the man-made boards and its related products was much higher than the national standard.

Objective To explore the expression characteristic of serum mir-16,mir-21,mir-29a, mir-92a and mir-143 in colorectal cancer , evaluate the clinical significance of candidate miRNAs in CRC diagnosis.Methods Case-control study was used.The expression levels of serum mir-16,mir-21,mir-29a, mir-92a and mir-143 from 50 CRC patients and 27 normal controls were detected by real-time PCR, the levels of miRNAs expression in serum of 8 CRC patients 1 day before and 7 days after radical surgery were analyzed.The sensitivity and specificity of serum miRNAs expression for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve.Results The expression level of mir-16, miR-21, mir-92a in serum of patients with CRC were (75.55 ±37.73), (35.96 ±23.81), (24.79 ±8.97) fmol/ml, significantly higher than that of the healthy control group (32.73 ±18.94), (24.36 ±13.27), (16.36 ±5.58) fmol/ml (tmir-16 =2.77, tmir-21 =2.34, tmir-92a =3.85,P <0.05).However, the expression levels of mir-29a and mir-143 showed no significant difference between two groups (tmir-29a=-0.17, tmir-143 =1.59,P>0.05).In addition, serum miR-16 and miR-92a levels of CRC patients 7 days after tumor resection were (36.02 ±19.95), (14.82 ±7.78) fmol/ml, significantly lower than that before operation (62.18 ±34.17), (24.06 ±12.99) fmol/ml (tmir-16 =3.59, tmir-92a =2.60,P<0.05).Area under the ROC curve ( AUC) of combined detection of mir-16, miR-21and mir-92a was 0.877, the sensitivity and specificity were 88% and 85%, respectively, which was higher than any of 3 miRNAs alone and the conventional tumor marker CEA.Conclusion Combination of mir-16, mir-21 and mir-92a in the diagnosis of CRC shows a better sensitivity and specificity , which would be expected as new tumor biomarkers for noninvasive diagnosis and monitoring progression of colorectal cancer.

Radiofrequency ablation concomitant with open-heart procedures is one of the most common surgical methods to treat organic heart disease complicated with atrial fibrillation .However, the recurrence of atrial fibrillation still bothers both doctors and patients.There are different views on the main factors influencing the long-term effects of sinus rhythm maintenance after ablation.We reviewed past related clinical observations and researches to summarize the factors influencing recurrence of long-term atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation concomitant with open-heart procedures.
10.Advances in immunotherapy and targeted therapy of advanced pancreatic cancer
Journal of Clinical Surgery 2023;31(11):1107-1110
Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor of the digestive system with poor prognosis.Due to the lack of effective early screening and diagnosis methods,the majority of patients with pancreatic cancer present with locally advanced or metastatic disease at diagnosis.For advanced pancreatic cancer,the major treatment strategy is still chemotherapy-based comprehensive treatment.The development of immunotherapy and targeted therapy gives us cause for optimism in our pursuit of better treatment.This article reviewed the advances in immunotherapy and targeted therapy of advanced pancreatic cancer.
