Objective To explore clinical characteristics and treatment for unexpected gallbladder carcinoma during laparoscopic surgery . Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of 12 cases of unexpected gallbladder carcinoma out of 4620 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in our hospital from September 1997 to September 2015.Intraoperative frozen pathological diagnosis showed gallbladder cancer Nevin stage Ⅲin 1 case, and a conversion to open surgery of gallbladder cancer was conducted .The remaining 11 cases of gallbladder carcinoma were diagnosed by pathology after surgery .One case of Nevin stage Ⅰand 1 case of stage Ⅱwere not surgically treated .Of the other 9 cases of Nevin stage Ⅲ, there were 5 patients who refused surgery and 4 patients received open radical resection of gallbladder cancer at 10-18 d (mean, 14 d) postoperatively. Results The 5 cases of Nevin stage Ⅲwho refused open radical surgery were lost to follow-up.Two cases of stage Ⅰand Ⅱwere followed up for 63 months and 6 months after LC without recurrence .Of the 5 cases of stageⅢundergoing open radical surgery , 2 cases dead at 8 and 10 months postoperatively because of abdominal extensive metastasis and cachexia , and 3 cases dead at 10, 28, and 32 months postoperatively because of gallbladder carcinoma liver transfer . Conclusions The occurrence of unexpected gallbladder cancer should be taken into consideration during laparoscopic cholecystectomy .Timely and appropriate complementary therapy should be given .

Objective Rheological properties and gelation properties of agar were investigated. Methods The gelling point,melting point and the gel strength of agar were detected with MCR101 rheometer and TA texture testing instrument. Results and Conclusion Rheological properties of agar were affected by its concentration ,temperature and the addition of salt (such as NaCl ,CaCl2) and sucrose. Apparent viscosity exhibited shear thinning behavior following the power law model. Apparent viscosity increased with the increase of concentration,and decreased with the rise of temperature. The decrease in viscosity followed an Arrhenius temperature dependence. Agar solutions exhibited typical "weak gel" properties by small strain oscillatory measurements. The results indicated that the agar solution was characterized as a gel properties ,and which could form a kind of heat reversible gel. The gelling point of agar was lower than its melting point. The gel strength of agar could be affected by its gel time,and the addition of salt (such as NaCl,CaCl2) and sucrose.

By using the method of philology, 65 Hui prescriptions for treating cough were been collected to compare Arabic and Chinese names of pennisetum, anemarrhenae, honey, pease, white mustard, perilla and towel gourd stem. The Countif function in Microsoft Excel 2007 was used to count frequency of drugs in the prescriptions and summarize eight common Hui medicine for treating cough, namely sugar, honey, almond, fritillaria, liquorice, orange peel, white mulberry root-bark and lily. According to the commonly used drugs, philological studies and theories of Hui medicines, pathology and therapy of Hui medicines for treating cough were preliminarily inferred. In this study, 35 practical prescriptions and 30 simple and convenient Halal dietary prescriptions were summarized from collected prescriptions according to relevant literatures. On the basis of the long-lasting unique dietary therapy culture developed for Hui people, the simple and practical dietary prescriptions were defined according indications, therapy, prescription name and composition, and eight types of drug-admixed foods were summarized to relieve pains and improve health awareness and quality of life. Meanwhile, this study could also enrich and perfect the prescriptions, provide new ideas for improving health of patients, and lay a certain realistic foundation for further study of Hui medicines.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism and the protective effect of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) on rat cardiomyocytes when ischemic preconditioning performed.MethodsCultured rat cardiomyocytes were divided into four groups: control group, ischemic group,ischemic preconditioning group and cyclohexamide group. Cell viabilities were analyzed by MTT. The apoptosis was evaluated with DNA ladder and flow cytometry Annexin V Flous staining. Western Blot was used to determine the expression of HSP27 and caspase-3 in cardiomyocytes.ResultsIschemic preconditioning could improve cell viability. The apoptosis ratio in ischemic preconditioning group was significantly less than that in ischemic group. These were accompanied by an increase in the expression of HSP27 and a decrease in caspase-3. The expression of the increased HSP27 and the protective effect induced by ischemic preconditioning were completely abolished by the presence of cycloheximide, a translation inhibitor.ConclusionThe expression of HSP27 induced by ischemic preconditioning plays an important role in protecting cardiomyocytes, and the mechanism is possibly related to the inhibition of cell apoptosis.
