Objective To analyze the role of the introperative vessel Doppler sonographic evaluation of the hepatic artery and portal vein. Methods Intraoperative vessel Doppler sonograms of 116 patients were analyzed for peak systolic velocity of hepatic artery and blood flow of the portal vein.In patients having abnormal findings on sonography (peak systolic velocity of hepatic artery less than 30 cm/s, blood flow of the portal vein less than 800 ml/s), the vascular anastomoses were checked.Results Fourteen of 116 cases revealed less hepatic arterial peak systolic velocity than 30 cm/s. In 9 of the 14 cases, the hepatic arterial peak systolic velocity was normal after injection of 0. 5 % lidocaine into celic trunk root, and papaverine and 654-2 into artery, 3 of the 9 cases endured artery thrombosis. In the other 5 of the 14 cases, by-pass anastomoses were done, and the hepatic arterial peak systolic velocity was normal, and no hepatic arterial complication occurred. Five of 116 cases revealed less hepatic portal vein blood flow than 800 ml/rnin. 4 of the 5 cases revealed shunt between portal vein and vena cava. The blood flow was normal after ligation of the shunt, and thrombosis occurred in 1 case of the 4. The another 1 of the 5 cases was presented with portal vein thrombosis of grade m, and the blood flow remained lower than normal when side-to-side anastomosis was done after resection of thrombosis. Then vein by-pass of the superior mesenteric vein to portal vein with donor iliac vein was done, the blood flow became normal, and no complication occurred. Conclusions The vessel Doppler sonography during liver transplantation was of pivotal values in preventing and diagnosing vessel complications. For the patients with abnormal findings though intraoperative vessel Doppler sonography, the close monitoring should be done in order to find out vessel complication as

Objective:To investigate the phenotype and function of the intestinal γδT lymphocytes in post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome mouse model. Methods:The mouse model for post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome was established by the infection with trichinella spiralis. The intestinal inflammation,abdominal withdrawal reflex( AWR) and colon transportation test were observed. 2 and 8 weeks later,the animals were sacrificed and the lymphocytes in the intestinal lymph nodes and spleen were collected,from which the γδT lymphocytes were isolated and purified by monoclonal antibody-immuno-microbeads method. The functions of the purified γδT lymphocytes were evaluated,including proliferation by 3 HTdR;CD69,CD62L molecule staining by flow cytometry. Furthermore,the con-centration of cytokine IL-17 and IFN-γ in the supernatant of the cultured γδT lymphocytes were detected by ELISA. Results: At 2nd weeks after infection,significant intestinal inflammation was observed,with increasingγδT lymphocytes,proliferating and activating with increasing production of IL-17. At 8th weeks after infection, the intestinal inflammation disappeared, whereas the number of γδT lymphocytes remained increasing,also with proliferating and activating with increasing production of IL-17. Meanwhile,the mice show higher AWR score and Bristol score. Conclusion: γδT lymphocytes could participate in the pathogenesis of PI-IBS via their proliferation,activation and production of IL-17.

OBJECTIVETo study the influence of the different combinations of the main active parts in Yangyintongnao granule on the pharmacokinetics parameters of the two active components--ligustrazine and puerarin using the method of total amount statistic moment for pharmacokinetics.
METHODCombinations were formed according to the dosages of the four active parts (alkaloid, flavone, saponin, naphtha) by orthogonal experiment L9 (3(4)). Blood concentrations of ligustrazine and puerarin were determinated by HPLC at different time. Zero rank moment (AUC) and one rank moment (MRT, mean residence time) of ligustrazine and puerarin have been worked out to calculate the total amount statistic moment parameters was analyzed of Yangyintongnao granule by the method of the total amount statistic moment. The influence of different compatibilities on the pharmacokinetics parameters was analyzed by orthogonal test.
RESULTFlavone has the strongest effect than saponin on the total AUC. Ligustrazine has the strongest effect on the total MRT. Saponin has little effect on the two parameters, but naphtha has more effect on both of them. It indicates that naphtha may promote metabolism of ligustrazine and puerarin in rat.
CONCLUSIONTotal amount statistic moment parameters can be used to guide for compatibilities of TCM.

Objective To evaluate the effect of islet transplantation for patients with type 2diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods Since December 2007, 4 cases of islet transplantations were performed on 3 patients with type 2 DM and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Two patients received simultaneous islet-kidney transplant from single-donor (SIK), and one received 2 consecutive islet transplants 5 months following kidney transplantion (IAK). All recipients given insulin with a dose of percutaneous transhepatic portal catheterization. Anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody was used as induction. For SIK, low-doses of Tacrolimus and sirolimus were used as maintenance immunosuppression protocol. For IAK, the maintenance protocol included cyclosporine and MMF.Insulin dose, the level of blood glucose, C-peptide and the value of HbA1 were observed. Results The first patient of SIKhad normal glucose level 3 days after surgery and became insulin independent within the first month, but insulin was administered gradually and the dose reduced to 1/3. The second patient of SIK died of bleeding and secondary infection of liver puncture site 5 days following operation, the blood glucose level recovered to normal 24 h after operation. The insulin dose of the patient of IAK was reduced to 1/2 after the first transplant. The patient became insulin free after the second operation. The level of fasting and postprandial C-peptide of the surviving recipients increased by 600 pmol/L. The value of HbA1 of the SIK was 6.7 %~7.3 %, while that of the IAK was 5. 5 %~ 5. 9 %. Conclusion Islet transplantation is an effective treatment for patients with type 2 DM.

Objective To summarize the characteristics and treatment methods of de novo malignancies in recipients after renal transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 43 patients with de novo malignancies after renal transplantation among 759 recipients were analyzed retrospectively. Characteristics, treatment methods and prognosis of the de novo malignancies after renal transplantation were summarized. Results The incidence of de novo malignancies in recipients after renal transplantation was 5.7%. The age of onset was (52±11) years old, and the de novo malignancies was diagnosed in 13-193 months with the median of 60 months after renal transplantation. The 43 patients with de novo malignancies included 9 cases of primary renal carcinoma, 7 cases of bladder carcinoma, 6 cases of lung carcinoma, 5 cases of lymphoma, 4 cases of colorectal carcinoma, 4 cases of mammary carcinoma, 2 cases of skin carcinoma, 1 case of adrenal carcinoma, 1 case of gastric carcinoma, 1 case of primary carcinoma of liver, 1 case of pancreatic carcinoma, 1 case of scalp angiosarcoma and 1 case of meningioma, and they were treated by surgical procedure, adjusting immunosuppressive therapy, radiotherapy or chemotherapy after diagnosed. The postoperative 1- and 5-year survival rates were 81% and 63%, respectively. Conclusions The incidence of de novo malignancies in recipients after renal transplantation is higher than that in healthy subjects, and urological neoplasm is most common. Radical resection should be considered first, and antineoplastic combined therapy can be performed for the patients who cannot undergo surgery. Meanwhile, dosage of immunosuppressive agents can be reduced and medication regimens can be adjusted, thus effectively prolonging the survival time of patients.

Objective:This study aims to evaluate the prognostic effect of peripheral blood cells in multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated with bortezomib.Methods:The clinical data of 155 newly diagnosed MM patients in two blood disease treatment centers from January 2014 to December 2016 were retrospectively studied. All patients received bortezomib as the first-line treatment. The results of the peripheral blood cell counts, including absolute neutrophil count, absolute monocyte count (AMC) , hemoglobin level, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) , and platelet count, and other clinical features were analyzed.Results:AMC (>0.6×10 9/L) , MCV (>99.1 fl) , and platelet count (<150×10 9/L) significantly affected patients’ PFS and OS. The above three factors were assigned 1 point, respectively, to form the blood cell score. The analysis showed that 64 cases (41.3% ) had a score of 0, 57 cases (36.8% ) had 1, 32 cases (20.6% ) had 2, and 2 cases (1.3% ) had 3. The median PFS of the four groups were 42.8 m, 26.5 m, 15.8 m, and 6.4 m, respectively ( P<0.001) . The median OS were NR, 48.2 m, 31.1 m, and 31.4 m, respectively ( P=0.001) . Multivariate analysis suggested that the blood cell score (2-3 vs 0-1) and the proportion of marrow plasma cells (>30% ) were independent prognostic factors for PFS ( HR=1.95 and 1.76, respectively) , while age (>65y vs ≤65y) , R-ISS stage (3 vs 1-2) , and blood cell score (2-3 vs 0-1) were independent prognostic factors for OS ( HR=2.08, 2.13 and 2.12, respectively) . Conclusion:As an easy-to-access biomarker, the blood cell score can be used to evaluate the prognosis of newly diagnosed MM patients in the era of new drugs, but it is still necessary to expand the cases and make further confirmation in the prospective study.
