Objective To investigate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in AGS cells. Methods AGS cells were cultured with either Hp11638 (CagA~+ , VacA~+ ) extract or Hp11638 mutant (CagA~+ , VacA~-) extract for 48 hours, then the cells and supernatants were collected. The concentration of ROS in AGS cells was measured by flow cytometry. The eytochrome C reduction was detected by spectrophotometer at 550 nm. Results The ROS levels in the AGS cells were correlated with two H. pylori strains in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The ROS levels in AGS cells treated with Hp11638 extract in different concentrations or times were correspondingly higher than those treated with Hp11638 mutant extract. Similar results were found in examination of cytochrome C reduction. Conclusion The elevation of ROS in AGS cells is related to effects of H. pylori proteins, and the VaeA protein involves in the process.

Objective To explore the mutation of RET gene exon 11 in sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma and to clarify the relationship between RET mutation and sporadic medullary thyroid carcinomas. Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from 17 sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma tissues. Exon 11 of RET gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction, analyzed by automated DNA sequencer after purification and results were compared with normal sequence. Results RET mutation was detected in 1 of 17 cases and the mutation revealed the wrong base at the position 15165(G→A) and the missense codon at 691 (ser 691 →lys). Conclusion The low rate of RET exon 11 mutation in sporadic medullary thyroid carcinomas indicate that the key gene mutations may locate on other exons of RET gene or other genes.

Ex-vivo liver resection and liver autotransplantation offers a chance to cure extensive regional liver diseases which are otherwise deemed untreatable in selected cases. A 33-year-old male patient with advanced alveolar echinococcosis (AE) which invaded the right lobes and adjacent retrohepatic inferior vena cava, while the left lobes were free from lesion and had proliferated to over 1200 ml in size except for a 1 cm × 1 cm solid lesion in the segment Ⅳ. No extrahepatic metastases were found in this patient. A lesion with a size of 4300 ml and other small lesions in the right lobes were removed extracorporeally,and the retrohepatic vena cava was repaired, then the remaining AE-free left lobes (more than 700 ml in size) and the retrohepatic inferior vena cava were re-implanted in situ. A temporary end-to-end cavo-caval shunt with interposition of a blood vessel prosthesis and end-to-side portocaval shunt were established to keep the blood flow during the four-hour anhepatic phase. The patient was followed up for six months, and he had no signs of residual liver disease with good hepatic function.

BACKGROUND:Bone transplantation is the only method for the repair of bone defects. However, traditional bone transplantation has some disadvantages. Bone tissue engineering, as a new treatment strategy, can achieve the desire therapeutic outcomes. OBJECTIVE:To fabricate a new tissue-engineered scaffold for improving bone repair effectively. METHODS:Hydroxyapatites (HA) with different Ca/P (1.50/1.67) ratios were synthesized by chemical precipitation method and microwave radiation method. Composite scaffolds of palygorskite (APC)/HA/polycaprolactone (PCL)/col agen (COL), APC/calcium deficiency HA (CDHA)/PCL/COL, and APC/PCL/COL (control group) were prepared by solution perfusion-solvent evaporation and ion leaching method. The material characterization, active ingredients, hydrophilic property, and mechanical properties were evaluated by scanning electron microscope, infrared spectrometer, surface contact measuring instrument and universal mechanics, respectively. The histocompatibility of the implant with the host was assessed through animal experiments. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:By precise control of pH range, HA with different Ca/P ratios could be synthesized. The mechanical properties, air permeability, hydrophilic property of the APC/HA/PCL/COL and APC/CDHA/PCL/COL composite materials were significantly increased compared with the APC/PCL/COL composite material (P<0.05), while the porosity, water absorption expansion rate were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Results from our animal experiments showed that no immune inflammatory reaction was observed suggesting that the composite materials hold good histocompatibility. To conclude, the APC/HA (1.50/1.67)/PCL/COL composite materials are promising bone substitutes in bone tissue repair.

Objective To identify the imaging features of pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas.Methods Eleven patients of pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas proven surgically and pathologically were included.We retrospectively evaluated the CT and MR findings including the location, size, shape, margin, necrosis , calcification, hemorrhage, enhancement degree, enhancement pattern, invasion to other organs, perilesional lymph nodes, metastasis, recurrence.Results The tumors were distributed in the head(n=4), body and tail(n=4),tail(n=3) of pancreas.The median tumor size was 97 mm(27 to 180 mm).Nine cases presented with a well-defined enhancing capsule.Tumor vessels could be seen in 9 cases.Seven cases were hypovascular while the other 4 were hypervascular.Different extents of necrosis could be seen in all masses as a swirling or cleft low density in the enhanced tumors, with an median of 10％ (2％ to 25％).The hypovascular masses more frequently demonstrated a lobulated tumor, heterogeneous enhancement pattern, with a larger necrotic component and were more common invasion to other organs.Conclusions Pancreatic acinar ccll carcinoma typically presents as a sizable pancreatic mass with a well-defined enhancing capsule.
