Objective To study the influence of echinococcus multilocularis(Em) infection on the immunology state and the allograft heart survival in the infected rats.Methods SD-to-Wistar(allograft) heart transplantation models were established to observe the influence of the disturbed(immune) system in Em infected rat on the heart graft.Sixteen healthy SD rats,8 healthy Wistar rats and 8 Em infected rats were used in the study.Animals were randomly divided into:(1) control group:SD-to-healthy Wistar rats(n=8) and(2) Em infection group:SD-to-Em infected Wistar rat(n=8).The(allograft) heart transplantation was performed by anastomosis of the donor heart of SD rats into the cervices of the Wistar rats.All the agents were administrated orally q.d.Graft samples were harvested for histopathological examination and immunohistochemical study.IL-4 and IFN-? in peripheral blood were assessed.CD4~(+),CD8~(+)and CD15Tc infiltration in the graft was detected.Results The mean survival time of the grafts in Em infected rats was 11.63?6.02 days and 6.00?0.53 days in no-infected rats respectively with the difference being significant(P

Objective To review our experience in treatment of liver hydatid diease.Methods The data of 819 patients who underwent surgery for hepatic hydatid disease were reviewed retrospectively.Exploration of common bile duct was done in 172 cases.There were men 95 and women 77with a mean age of 31.5±0.5 years.In addition to treatment of the cyst cavity,patients was divided into two groups.The patients in group A received cholangiography and exploration of common bile duct through cystic duct while those in group B underwent cholangiography and common bile duct ex-pioration through T tube.Results The length of hospital stay and cavity-related problems for both groups had no significant difference.Biliary tract-related problems in two groups had significant differ-ence.Conclusion Cholangiography and common bile duct exploration through cystic duct can com-pletely solve the cavity-related problems while avoiding T-tube related problems.

Objective By analyzing 2 560 echinococcosis cases through telemedicine,to explore a new mode for preventing,diagnosing,and treating of echinococcosis.Method From January 2009 to December 2013 in our hospital through remote medical care and consulting we analyzed cases and conducted statistics on consultation's person time,location difference,spectrum of disease and upward referral rate as well as the cost of hospitalization.Result (1) The amount of consultation rose from 182 cases in 2009 to 873 cases in 2013.(2) The proportion of consultation from northern Xinjiang is about 83％-91％,obviously higher than that from south Xinjiang and eastern Xinjiang,which fits those areas mainly with the economical character of the husbandry.(3) Most consultation cases are echinococcosis (99.42％) followed by echinococcosis (0.24％),pelvic cystic echinococcosis (0.19％),cerebral echinococcosis (0.12％),and cardiac echinococcosis (0.03％).(4) Upward referral rate is nearly 7.97％ and about 92.03％ patients were treated in local community hospitals saving medical care budget by RMB 14.78 million.Conclusions Use and establishment of the three level network system for preventing,diagnosing,and treating the echinococcosis by telemedicine effectively enhances primary hospital's ability in the care of these patients and alleviates patients economical burden.

Objective To evaluate the clinical pathway (CP) for treatment of hepatic cystic echinococcosis.Methods Data were retrospectively obtained from hospitalized patients with hepatic cystic echinococcosis (CE) who were treated surgically between April 2011 to December 2012.Patient treated with the clinical pathway (the CP group) were compared with patients who were treated with conventional treatment (the non-CP group).The following outcomes were compared:the average length of in-hospital stay,the hospital charges,patient's satisfaction,patient's knowledge about his/ her own health and postoperative complications.Results For the CP groups,the length of in-hospital stay,the hospital charges,the patient's satisfaction and the health knowledge for the patients were (10.25±1.26)d,(19600.25±1520.73) yuan,(46.4 5±2.14),(83.50±8.02),respectively.The corresponding figures for the non-CP group were (14.25 ± 1.50) d,(23931.25 ± 1629.17) yuan,(42.65 ± 1.93),(74.50 ± 12.60),respectively.There were significant differences between the 2 groups (t=-4.086,-4.074,8.351,3.811 ; P＜0.05).The postoperative complications,including bile leakage,bleeding,ascites and pleural effusion,were 2,0,2 cases in the CP group,and 0,4,5 cases in the non-CP group.There were no significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =0.17,0,0.6; P＞0.05).Conclusion Our initial clinical experience showed that the clinical pathway decreased the length of in-hospital stay and hospital charges,and provided quality and efficient clinical services to patients with hepatic cystic echinococcosis.

Objective To compare the efficacy of radical and quasi-radical hepatectomy for the treatment of end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis(HAE)with involvement of major blood vessels and viscera.Methods The clinical data of 41 patients with end-stage HAE who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2002 to January 2010.All patients were divided into radical hepatectomy group (13 patients)and quasi-radical hepatectomy group(28 patients)according to whether blood vessels were reconstructed and repaired.The operation time,blood loss,length of hospital stay,recurrence and metastasis of HAE,pleural effusion,ascites,biliary complications and death between the 2 groups were compared.All data were analyzed by using the t test or chi-square test.Results The volume of blood loss,length of hospital stay,number of patients with recurrence and metastasis of HAE,obstructive jaundice and number of dead patients were(326 ±115)ml,(22 ± 18)days,0,0,and 0 in the radical hepatectomy group,and were(24 ± 20)ml,(15 ± 12)days,10,10 and 10 in the quasi-radical hepatectomy group,there were significant differences between the 2 groups(t =13.41,1.47;x2 = 4.36,4.36,4.36,P ＜ 0.05).The operation time,number of patients with pleural effusion and ascites,bile leakage,cholangitis and number of patients died perioperatively were(407 ± 146)minutes,4,0,1 and 1 in the radical hepatectomy group,and(263 ± 93)minutes,2,2,2 and 1 in the quasi-radical hepatectomy group,there were no significant differences between the 2 groups(t = 3.81;x2 = 2.30,0.04,0.34,0.04,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Radical hepatectomy should be the first choice when construction of infringed vessels can be achieved.Quasi-radical hepatectomy has lower operation risks for avoiding important vessels injury.

Objective To explore the efficacy of various managements of indurative biliary fistula after HCE operation.Methods 31 patients who underwent surgery for indurative biliary fistula after HCE operation in Xinjiang Medical University were studied retrospectively.Cholangiography and common bile duct exploration through a T tube were done in 15 patients,cholangiography and decompression through a T tube which led to the orifice of the fistula of the cavity in 8 patients,hepatectomy in 4 patients,lobe resection + choledochojejunostomy in 2 patients,total pericystectomy in 1 patient,and cavity abscess debridement in 1 patient for severe infection of the abdominal cavity,followed by hemihepatectomy after half a year.Result On follow-up of 1-8 years,choledochojejunostomy had to be done in 1 patient for stricture of the bile duct after T tube drainage,hepatectomy in 1 patient for bile leakage after the cavity abscess debridement operation,and bile leakage in 1 patient after hepatectomy although with drainage the patient was cured.Conclusion The results suggested that hepatectomy and total pericystectomy completely solved the problems arising from indurative biliary fistula.However,these procedures are complicated,and have higher operative risks.Cholangiography and common bile duct exploration solved the cavity-related problems.For patients with severe calcified cavities which communicated with large hepatic ducts,cholangiography and decompression through a T tube put into the orifice of the fistula of the cavity solved the indurative biliary fistula efficaciously and safely.

Objective To investigate the effect of echinococcus granulosus antigen B on the severity of streptozotocin induced diabetes mellitus.Methods Thirty male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:echinococcus granulosus antigen B group (group A,n =10),normal saline group (group B,n =10),control group (group C,n =10).Mouse in group A was injected by echinococcus granulosus antigen B and mouse in group B was given normal saline,Type 1 diabetes was induced.After 3 weeks,mice were executed and pancreases were scored on insulitis by HE staining.Serum IFN-γ and IL-4 levels were measured by ELISA.Results After 3 weeks of the establishment of diabetes model mouse body weight in group B and C decreased significantly compared with that in group A.Mouse mean blood glucose level in group A was significantly lower than that in group B and C.There were less than 40％ of islets with lymphocytic infiltration in group A,compared with 80％ in group B.The average Ridit was 0.423,0.519,and 0.561 in group A,B and C respectively,P ＜ 0.05.IL-4 level in group A was significantly higher than that in group B and group C [(71.6 ± 12.4) ng/ml,(12.6 ± 5.6) ng/ml,(14.2 ± 7.2) ng/ml,P ＜ 0.05].IFN-γ level in group B and group C were higher than that in group A [(276.1 ± 41.7) ng/ml,(352.2 ± 52.2) ng/ml,(358.1 ± 53.4) ng/ml,P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions Type 1 diabetes is organ specific T lymphocyte mediated autoimmune disease.Echinococcus granulosus antigen B has protective effects on diabetes mellitus in mice couteracting autoimmune injury to the islets by streptozotocin,probably by a mechanism related to immune deviation of Th1 to Th2.

Objective To investigate the double T tube drainage method in the treatment of hepatic echinococcosis which ruptured into the common bile duct.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 86 patients who were treated surgically for hepatic echinococcosis which had ruptured into the common bile duct at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from June 2012 to December 2014.The average postoperative hospitalization,postoperative complications (residual cavity bile leakage and residual cavity effusion,residual cavity infection) and biliary complications of biliary tract infection were analyzed.Results Significant differences were found on the postoperative residual cavity complications in group A:(2,7.1％) when compared with Group B:(9,15.5 ％),and also on the postoperative hospitalization between the double T tube drainage group [group A:(7.1 ± 1.3) d] and the traditional T type tube decompression group [B group:(8.2 ± 1.5) d] (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The doubleT tube drainage in the treatment of hepatic echinococcosis which had ruptured into the common bile duct was simple,safe and effective.This treatment could completely cure residual cavity bile leakage,and it had the advantage of avoiding occurrence of common bile duct related complications caused by the traditional suture method for bile leakage.
