Objective To investigate the role of deferoxamine pretreatment for hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in liver auto-transplantation in rats. Method Murine liver auto-transplantation model was established. Ninety six male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: 32 rats in deferoxamine pretreatment group (D), 32 rats in control group with aqua pro injection pretreatment(C) and 32 rats in sham-operation group (S). The animals were killed at 30 min, 2 h, 6 h, 24 h after operation respectively. ALT and AST level, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA), liver histological change(HE), the protein expression of HIF-1α、TNF-α and IL-1 were measured. Results At 30 min, 2 h, 6 h, 24 h after operation, the levels of ALT,AST,MDA and the expression of IL-1 protein and TNF-α protein were higher in group C than group D significantly,while the expression of HIF-1α and SOD were higher in group D [SOD(411±70; 384±53; 379±46)、H1F-1α(0.0413±0.0040; 0.0684± 0.0032; 0.0583±0.0032; 0.0491±0.0026)] than group C significantly (P<0.01) [SOD(341±21; 323±25; 303±25)、HIF-1α (0.0254±0.0024; 0.0312±0.0022; 0.0381±0.0022; 0.0257± 0.0015)] (F>59.881;P<0.01). Conclusion The up-regulated expression of HIF-1α, decreased liver lipid peroxidation injury and TNF-α and IL-1 levels, may be involved in the mechanism hy which deferoxamine pretreatment protects liver from ischemia reperfusion injury in rats' liver auto-transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the procedure and the therapeutic efficacy of duodenumpreserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) in treating benign lesions in the head of the pancreas.Methods From February 2003 to August 2011,DPPHR was performed in 21 patients with benign lesions in the head of the pancreas.Thirteen patients were male and eight were female.Age ranged from 30 to 48 years,and the lesions ranged from 2.0 cm to 5.6 cm in diameter.Posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery was conserved in all patients.Results There was no hospital death.Pancreatic fistula was the main and the most often morbidity,occurring in 33.3%.After operation all patients with preoperative abdominal pain were completely pain free.Preoperative hypoglycemia in 2 patients turned to eugycemia.There was no recurrences report during following up.Concl~ions DPPHR was safe and effective in treating benign lesion in the head of pancreas.It was important in preserving blood supply to the duodenum by posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery.

0.05). Ac-cording to the classification criteria of ARIA in 2001, 26 children suffered from intermittent A(R22 mild cases,4 moderate-severe cases),while 22 suf-fered from persistent AR(10 mild cases,12 mod-erate-severe cases). Forty percent patients with AR also had bronchial asthma. Domestic decora-tion was an important factor in the induction of AR and 27.1% of the children with AR had inher-ent predisposition. CONCLUSION The prevalence rate of AR in children aged from 9 to 10 in Nanjing is 5.1 %. Strategy of prevention and treatment of AR should beworked out according to the epidemic feature of AR.

Objective To analyze the application and funding for projects in radiation oncology from National Natural Science Foundation of China ( NNSFC ) from 2006 to 2015. Methods To collect the funding information in radiation oncology from NNSFC from 2006 to 2015, a computerized search was performed in the ISIS system using a subject code of H1610 and a keyword of radiation oncology. Analyses were performed in distribution of research fields, the geographical distribution of applicants, and the properties of institutes/universities the applicants were affiliated with. Results In the last decade, a total of 435 projects in the field of radiation oncology were funded with 180 million yuan. Most projects were funded by general, youth, and regional foundation, which covered the highest proportion of NNSFC. For a single project, the amounts of funding from general, youth, and regional foundations were 530, 220, and 400 thousand yuan, respectively. The institutes/universities the NNSFC?funded projects were affiliated with were located quite close to each other. The top 10 institutes/universities in terms of the number of NNSFC?funded projects covered 53% of projects. In all projects, 88% studied basic science, which covered many hot topics in oncology including biological effects of radiotherapy, microenvironment, and stem cells. A small number ( 12%) of projects focused on physics. Top 3 cancers in terms of the number of projects and the amount of funding were lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and esophagus cancer. Conclusions In the last decade, the field of radiation oncology has stable increases in the number of NNSFC?funded projects and the amount of funding. The NNSFC?funded research teams are unevenly distributed, most of which are located in East China. The most popular topic in basic science studies is about biological effects of radiotherapy.

Objective The association between Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) infection and allergic diseases was controversial.The aim of this study was to investigate the association between H.pylori infection and allergic diseases.Methods A questionnaire survey regarding the general health condition and allergic diseases was carried out in patients who had taken gastroscopy at People's Hospital of Peking University from September 2015 to April 2016.H.pylori infection was detected by the H.pylori antibody,rapid urease test and gastric mucosa pathology.Results There were 1 034 patients were enrolled in this study.The rate of H.pylori infection was 20.5%(212/1 034).The frequencies of contact dermatitis,urticaria,food/drug allergy,allergic rhinitis,bronchial asthma were 6.9%(71/1 034),15.5%(160/1 034),18.0%(186/1 034),20.8%(215/1 034) and 3.4%(35/1 034),respectively.The rate of the food/drug allergy was significantly lower in the H.pylori-positive group than in the H.pylori-negative group(11.8 %(25/212) vs.19.6%(161/822),χ2=6.940,P=0.008).The risk of food/drug allergy in H.pylori-positive group was 0.611(95% CI:0.386-0.966,P=0.035) in the multivariate analysis.When the patients were divided into age-dependent groups,the rate of the food/drug allergy was significantly lower in the H.pylori-positive group than in the H.pylori-negative group(10.9 %(11/101) vs.20.6%(101/490),χ2=5.152,P=0.023) in those patients ≥50 years old.There were not statistically significant differences on contact dermatitis,urticaria,eczema,asthma and allergic rhinitis between helicobacter pylori positive group and negative group(P>0.05).Conclusion H.pylori infection may be a protective factor in food/drug allergy and the protective effect enhanced by infection time.

Objective:To test the psychometric characteristics of the Chinese Version of the Illness Attitudes Scale(IAS-CV).Methods:Totally 297 patients (with somatoform disorders,major depressive disorder,generalized anxiety disorder,panic disorder,and obsessive-compulsive disorder diagnosed with ICD-10) and 212 normal people were assessed with IAS-CV,Beck Depression Inventory-Ⅱ and Beck Anxiety Inventory.Results:The confirmation factor analysis result of the nine-factor model of IAS-CV was x2/df=1.99,GFI =0.86,RMSEA =0.06.The total score of IAS-CV was correlated with BAI scores (r =0.45,P <0.01) and BDI-Ⅱ scores(r =0.42,P <0.01).Patients with somatoform disorders (62 ± 17) had higher scores than patients with other disorder,such as depression (43 ± 16),anxiety (46 ± 21),obsessive compulsive disorder (46 ± 15),and normal controls (35 ± 13).The Cronbach's α coefficients were 0.91 for IAS-CV and 0.62-0.91 for each subscale.The test-retest coefficients were 0.95 for the total scale and 0.67-0.93 for each subscale (P < 0.01).Split-half coefficient was 0.94.The cut-off score of IAS-CV for screening somatoform disorders was 44.Conclusion:It suggests that the Chinese Version of the Illness Attitudes Scale(IAS-CV) has good psychometric features and could be used in clinical practice and research in China.

Objective To screen the Doc 1R gene recombinant plasmid by use of colony PCR. Method The recombinant colonies were transfered into the PCR reaction mixture. The PCR primers were used for constructing mouse Doc 1R genomic sequence. Result Among the 5, 3 positive strips in the size of 1 500 bp were visible, which were the same as the Doc 1R gene fractions in terms of their sizes were screened as positive clones. The positive colony were further confirmed by double digestion and DNA sequencing. Conclusion Colony PCR is a simple, efficient and reliable technique for screening the recombinant.
