Objective:To prepare an enamel matrix protein(EMP)loaded poloxamer thermosensitive injectable hydrogel,and to study its characteristics.Methods:EMP was extracted from a 6-month old porcine and identified by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis.EMP at 2 mg/mL was loaded into gels poloxamer with P407∶P188 of 23∶8 and 19∶1 respectively.The gelling temperature of blank gel and EMP gel was detected by an inverted tube method.The release performance of selected EMP-loaded gel was detected by an Ultra-micro spectrophotometer.Results:A hydrogel(code number:FP1)with formula of 2 mg/mL EMP and 23∶8 of P407∶P188 possessed gel-ling temperature of 33 ℃,and the release behavior of FP1 conformed to the Higuchi equation.Conclusion:A poloxamer thermosensitive injectable hydrogel was successfully fabricated,this formulation possesses adaptive phase inversion temperature and controlled release ef-ficiency.

Objective:To evaluate delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) in acute cholecystitis.Methods:Clinical data of 64 patients who were diagnosed moderate (grade Ⅱ) acute cholecystitis by the 2018 Tokyo Guidelines in acute phase and underwent delayed LC at our hospital from Jan 2018 to Jan 2021 were compared between two groups ie PTGBD treatment (21 cases)in acute stage before DLC and DLC without PTGBD group (43 cases). The difficulty score of TG18 was used to evaluated every surgical procedure of the cases by reviewing the operation videos.Results:Patients in DLC after PTGBD group had a longer hospital stay and operation time, more blood lose and higher difficulty score than the DLC without PTGBD group(all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the conversion rate and morbidity rate between the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusion:This study fails to show there is any if ever benefit of PTGBD before DLC over DLC without PTGBD in the management of Grade Ⅱ acute cholecystitis.
