Objective To explore the influence of cirrhotic portal hypertension and its complications on liver transplantation. Methods The literatures of the recent years on influence of hepatic cirrhotic portal hypertension on liver transplantation were reviewed. Results Splenomegaly, hypersplenism, portal vein thrombosis, portosystemic shunt and collateral flow in cirrhotic patients will increase the difficulty of liver transplantation and lead to more postoperative complications. Appropriate handling of these conditions can achieve a higher success rate of liver transplantation. Conclusion Correct management of end-stage cirrhotic portal hypertension and its complications can expand the indications of liver transplantation and improve long-term survival rates.

Objective: To discuss how to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment about the firstbranchial fistula. Method:16 cases with the first branchial fistula were analyzed retrospectively. Result :Of all thepatients underwent surgery, 14 cases were free from disease postoperatively within 0.5 years follow-up, 2patients underwent re-operation because of recurrence. Conclusion:Knowing about the disease fully, selectingproper surgical incision and possessing skilled surgical technique is important to improve the level of diagnosisand treatment about the first branchial fistula.

[Objective]To understand the changes of children's blood lead levels and intelligence quotient (IQ) andthe effects of automobile exhaust on the prevelance rates of respiratory symptoms of children. [Methods] 151 pupilsof Y primary school in urban area were selected as exposure group, 160 pupils of Z primary school in Pudong districtwere selected as control group. The health questionaire survey and health examination were carried out amongpupils. The peripheral blood lead levels of the forth finger were determined. The IQ was determined by combinedRaven's Test. The data were statistically analzed by EPI Info and SAS statistic softwares. [Results] Significant differ-ences of blood lead levels were observed between exposure group and control group. The blood lead levels (x) negatively correlated with children's IQ (y) (y= 120. 11--0. 129x) . The prevelance rates of sore and uncomfortable feelings and foreign body sensation in throat and cough of exposure group were significantly higher than those in controlgroup. The ORs of corresponding symptoms were 1.71, 2, 64 and 2. 92 respectively. The multiple linear regressionanalysis showed that exposure to automobile exhaust and the distances from the residential region to street with heavytraffic were the main factors affecting the children's peripheral blood lead levels and the prevelance of respiratorysymptoms. [Conclusion] Further control of the emission of automobile exhaust and reasonable planning of location ofresidential areas were the main measures to control the prevelance of lead poisoning and its related diseases of children.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between human papilloma virus (HPV) gene types and cervical diseases. Methods:The subjects included women with HPV who were diagnosed in the Outpatient Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (Guangzhou, China) from March 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011. A total of 21 HPV DNA types were found in the women using DNA flow-though hybridization genotyping technique, and a questionnaire-type survey was conducted on these pa-tients. In this study, 256 cases of normal or inflamed cervix, 34 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia I (CINⅠ), 61 cases of CINⅡor CINⅢ, and 9 cases of cervical cancer were analyzed. Results:The HPV infection rates were 18.4%in the normal cervical or inflam-mation group, 67.6%in the CINⅠgroup, 96.7%in the CINⅡor CINⅢgroup, and 100%in the cervical cancer group. The HPV in-fection rate was higher in the CIN I group than in the normal HPV infection or inflammation group (P<0.001) and was higher in the CIN Ⅱ or CIN Ⅲ groups than in the CIN I group (P<0.001). The main types of infection were HPV16 (44.2%), HPV58 (24.2%), HPV52 (11.6%), and HPV33 (8.4%) in the CIN groups. The main type of infection was HPV16 in the cervical cancer group (88.9%). Conclusion: Cases of cervical lesions are increasing. With this prevalence of HPV, considerable attention should be focused on HPV16-, 58-, 52-, and 33-related infections and cervical lesions. Among them, HPV16 infection is the primary cause of disease progres-sion and carcinogenesis.

Because of the characteristics of microRNAs (miRNAs) and their important regulative roles in human tumor diseases,they may be novel approaches for gene target therapy.Most studies focus on finding critical regulator miRNAs of oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes.Recent researches show that the expression of miR-221 and miR-222 are abnormal,and they play different roles in different types of human tumors.The regulation of miR-221 and miR-222 may be a novel effective therapy for tumor.

Objective To study a new technique (lung cancer diagnossing system, LCDS) based on the computer imaging and artificial neural network for early diagnosis of lung cancer, and evaluate it's value in early cytopathological diagnosis of lung cancer. Methods The cytological smears from the specimens obtained by Percutaneous Aspiration Lung Biopsy (PALB) in 512 cases were synthetically analyzed by LCDS. Among them, 362 cases received operations. The diagnoses by LCDS were compared with postoperative histopathological diagnosis. Results In cytopathological diagnoses for the 512 specimens, LCDS can judge between cancer cells and non-cancer cells from lung lesions with its image analysis and expert system. Moreover, it can distinguish squamous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma in cytopathological diagnosis with built-in neural network. The total coincident rate of LCDS diagnosis was 91.80% compared with the pathological diagnosis. In the 362 cases, the sensitivity of LCDS diagnosis was 94.79% (291/307), the specificity was 90.91%(50/55), and the consistent rate was 94.20%(341/362). Conclusion The diagnostic pattern of LCDS was practical and effective. It has applicable value in cytopathological diagnosis of lung cancer and may be an efficient means for early diagnosis of lung cancer.

Objective To explore the effect of fatty liver on graft survival, especially with reference to macrovesicular and microvesicular steatosis and to evaluate the relationship between histological grading and inflammation activity. Methods Different degrees of rat fatty liver model were established by feeding rats a diet consisting of 79% standard diet, 20% lard and 1% cholesterol. By modified two cuff vascular anastomoses and end to end suture for bile duct, rat orthotopic liver transplantation was performed to evaluate the relationship between donor histological grading and survival rate. Results Low survival rate of macrosteatosis (grade Ⅲ) was found. Most rats died of liver failure in early days after transplantation. Pathological findings showed frequent hepatic necrosis. There was no significant difference between macrosteatosia(gradeⅠ) and the normal group. After transplantation, almost all of the fat was cleared by the end of the fourth week. Diminished steatosis and liver regeneration were found in macrosteatosis (gradeⅡ), while microsteatotic donors had higher survival rate than the other groups except the normal group. Conclusion Macrovesicular steatosis(grade Ⅲ) affects graft survival and these steatotic livers should not be used as donors. However, steatotic livers with mild macrovesicular steatosis (grade Ⅰ) and microvesicular steatosis(grade Ⅲ) do not influence recipient survival, so these livers can be used safely for liver transplantation. The ischemic damage should be considered when using livers of macrovesicular steatosis(gradeⅡ). Donors with numbering score more than 2.7 are correlated with the poor survival.
