Cholecystocholedocholithiasis is a common disease. The traditional treatment is open surgery which has its inherent invasiveness and slow recovery. The advent of laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques change surgery in many ways. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now the gold standard for cholecystitis, while endoscopic procedure is a treatment of choice for choledocholithiasis. To combine them as a laparoendoscopic rendezvous procedure treats cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis in a single stage, and results in a safe, effective and minimal invasive procedure.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of myocardial preconditioning with propofol alone vs propofol and adenosine against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods Twenty-one mongrel dogs of either sex weighing 11-16 kg were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 7 each) : group A I/R; group B propofol + I/R and group C propofol + adenosine + I/R. The animals were anesthetized with intramuscular ketamine and intermittent i.v. boluses of thiopental, intubated and mechanically ventilated. The chest was opened and the left anterior descending (LAD) artery was occluded for 60 min followed by 120 min reperfusion. In group B propofol was infused at 5.6 mg?kg-1?h-1 for 30 min before I/ R whereas in group C adenosine 0.1 mmol was injected at the root of aorta 10 min before I/R in addition to propofol infusion. Left cardiac catheter was placed in left ventricle via left common carotid artery for MAP and left ventricular pressure monitoring. ECG, BP, HR, CVP, left ventricular systolic and end-diastolic pressure (LVSP, LVEDP), left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) were monitored. Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP= DBP - LVEDP) and heart rate-pressure product (RPP= HR?SBP) were calculated. Regional wall motion (RWM) of the ischemic myocardium was scored. Results Ischemic ECG changes ( S-T segment elevation, abnormal T and arrhythmia) developed immediately after occlusion of LAD artery. LVEDP was significantly increased while CO, SV, EF, CPP and RPP were significantly decreased after LAD artery was occluded as compared to the baseline values in group A. Preconditioning with propofol alone or propofol combined with adenosine attenuated the hemodynamic changes induced by I/R. RWM score was significantly increased after LAD artery occlusion and was significantly lower in group B and C than in group A.Conclusion Propofol preconditioning can protect myocardium against I/R injury but adenosine combined with propofol does not enhance the protective effect.

Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics,treatment and prognostic factors of brain metastasis from gynecological cancers.Methods Clinical records of 25 brain metastasis patients from gynecological cancers admitted from January 1999 to January 2009 were reviewed retrospectively.The curative effects of different treatments were compared.The prognostic factors were determined using the Cox regression model.Results There were 14 cases ovarian malignant tumor,6 cases cervical carcinoma and 5 cases uterine malignant tumor.Seven cases (28%,7/25 ) had solitary metastatic lesion in the brain.Extracranial metastases were detected in 18 cases (72%,18/25 ).Five patients only received one kind of treatment,and the mean survival time was 4.0 months (0.5 to 9.5 months).Sixteen patients received combined treatment,3 of them received combined treatment including surgery,and the mean survival time was 8.4 months (4.1 to 13.4 months) ; 13 of them received chemotherapy and radiotherapy,and the mean survival time was 14.2 months (4.3 to 58.1 months).Four patients received only palliative supportive care,and the survival time was only 0.1 to 1.0 month.The Cox regression model showed that Karnofsky performance status scale,with or without extracranial metastases and the treatment method were the independent prognostic factors of brain metastasis from gynecological cancers ( P < 0.05 ).Conclusion The incidence of brain metastasis from gynecological cancers is low and the prognosis is very poor.Combined treatments may get better effects.

Objective To clone the partial positive regulatory fragment of Na+/H+ exchanger-1 (NHE-1) gene from human lung cancer cells. Methods After BamHⅠ and EcoRⅠ cut sites were added to the 5' ends of the upstream and downstream primers respectively, the partial positive regulatory sequence of NHE-1 gene was cloned with the length of 170 bp from genomic DNA of lung cancer cell line A549 cells with PCR method. The cloned fragment was ligated to plasmid pUC18. Finally, the constructed recombinant was identified with enzyme cut, PCR and DNA sequencing. Results The cloned fragment was about 170 bp in size and successfully ligated to pUC18 with identifiation of double enzyme cut and PCR. DNA sequencing approved that the fragment cloned was objective one with 168 bp in length. Compared with the reported sequence, two t were lost. Conclusion The positive regulatory fragment of NHE-1 gene from human lung cancer cells was successfully cloned.

Objective: Fungal keratitis is one of the most common diseases leading to blindness.It has a high incidence in China,and its early diagnosis and treatment are of vital importance.We aimed to investigate the value of laser confocal corneal microscopy in the clinical diagnosis of fungal keratitis.Methods: We conducted laser confocal corneal microscopy on 37 patients suspected of fungal keratitis,and compared the results with those obtained from the corneal tissue smears and fungal cultivation.Results: The fungus-infected corneas histologically exhibited defected epithelial cells,damaged subepithelial nerves and disordered stroma with reduced transparence.The hyphae showed bright,disordered,interlaced thread-or short rod-like structures.The positive rates of smear examination,fungus cultivation and laser confocal corneal microscopy were 48.65,62.16 and 78.39% for the 37 eyes,75.00,87.50 and100% for the 16 untreated eyes,and 28.57,42.85 and 61.90% for the other 21 pretreated eyes.Conclusion: Confocal laser corneal microscopy,rapid,effective and noninvasive,can be used as an important new alternative in the diagnosis of fungal keratitis
