Objective To understand the characteristics of complications occurred after endoscopic thyroidectomy and its prevention and treatment.Methods Retrospective analysis on the clinical effects and complications of 105 cases of endoscopic thyroidectomy.ResultsThe average operative time was 85 minutes in the 105 cases.Five cases were transferred to open operation because of bleeding and 11 cases transferred for the intraoperative pathology of papillary carcinoma.After operation,subcutaneous ecchymosis occurred in 5 patients,subcutaneous emphysema in 10 cases,neck and anterior chest skin tautness and discomfort in 7 cases,parathyroid injury in 2 cases.No superior laryngeal nerve or recurrent laryngeal nerve injury was found in the 105 cases.ConclusionUnder strict control on operation indications,proficient and meticulous endoscope operative skills,familiarization with the anatomical structure of thyroid,and timely and proper treatment on postoperative complications can reduce and prevent the occurrence of complications.

In the study, the inhibitory effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on Calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis and its possible mechanism were investigated. The rat Calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis model was induced through the combined oral administration of ethylene glycol and ammonium chloride, which was intervened with EGCG. Rat blood samples were collected to detect blood creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and blood calcium. Rat urine samples were collected to observe and compare 24-hour urine volume, oxalic acid (Ox) and calcium in urine. Renal samples were collected to prepare tissue slices and observe the pathological changes in Calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis. The expression of osteopontin (OPN) in renal tissues was evaluated by Real-time PCR and Western blot. According to the results, compared with normal rats, rats in the nephrolithiasis model showed significant increases in Cr, BUN, urine Calcium, urine Ox and renal OPN expression (P < 0.05), but obvious decrease in 24-hour urine volume (P < 0.05); Compared with rats with nephrolithiasis, those processed with EGCG revealed remarkable declines in Cr, BUN, urine Calcium and urine Ox (P < 0.05), with significant rise in 24-hour urine volume (P < 0.05) in a concentration-dependent manner. Additionally, compared with the control group, nephrolithiasis rats showed significant pathological changes in Calcium oxalate calculus. After ECCG treatment, the renal pathological changes and OPN expression attenuated significantly in a concentration-dependent manner. The results showed that EGCG inhibits the formation of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis in rats and shows a notable protective effect on renal functions.

BACKGROUND: Conventional opinions believe tissues of central nervous system(CNS) cannot regenerate after injury when they have been developed and maturated. However, recent researches have validated that neural stem cells exist in human and adult animal nervous system, and most of them are in static status in vivo. The therapeutic effects of neural stem cells in cerebral infarct have been a key point in the researches.OBJECTIVE: To observe the reactive process of endogenous neural stem cells after cerebral infarct to explore the effects of endogenous neural stem cell in CNS traumatic rehabilitation, which provides theoretical gist for the self-restoration after cerebral infarct.DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial by using experimental animals as subjects.SETTING: Department of Neurosurgery of Peking Union Hospital.MATERIALS: The study was conducted in the Laboratory of Neurosurgery Department of Peking Union Hospital from March to October in 2003. Totally 82 healthy male Wistar rats with a body mass between 250 g and 300 g were selected.METHODS: Cerebral infarct model was established in rats by thread-ligation method. Rats were divided into post-infarct 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days and 28 days groups with 14 rats each. Control group was sham-operation group( n= 12). The expressions of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and Nestin in the brain of the rats were dynamically detected by immunohistochemical method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The changes of BrdU and Nestin positive cell numbers after cerebral infarct in rats.RESULTS: Only very few BrdU and Nestin positive cells had survived in hippocampal dentate gyrus and subventricular zone(SVZ) area in control group. BrdU positive cell significantly increased compared with control group in hippocampus and SVZ area after 1 day of cerebral infarct( P ＜ 0.05),which reached its peak on the 7th day( P ＜ 0.05), started to reduce after 14 days but still in the level significantly higher than normal( P ＜ 0.05), and closed to normal level after 28 days. And moreover, BrdU and Nestin positive cells were significantly more in infarct side than the opposite side ( P＜ 0.05), which migrated towards the opposite side through callus.CONCLUSION: Cerebral infarct can activate the proliferation in situ and migration of endogenous neural stem cell.

Objective To analyze the protein expression in the rat hippocampus by the proteomic approach.Methods Proteins from hippocampal tissue homogenates of the rat were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE),and stained with colloidal Coomassie blue to produce a high-resolution map of the rat hippocampus proteome.Selected proteins from this map were digested with trypsin,and the resulting tryptic peptides were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS).The mass spectrometric data were used to identify the proteins through searches of the NCBI protein sequence database.Results 37 prominent proteins with various functional characteristics were identified.The identified brain protein classes covered metabolism enzymes,cytoskeleton proteins,heat shock proteins,antioxidant proteins,signalling proteins,proteasome-related proteins,neuron-specific proteins and glial-associated proteins.Furthermore,3 hypothetical proteins,unknown proteins so far only proposed from their nucleic acid structure,were identified.Conclusion This study provides the first unbiased characterization of proteins of the rat hippocampus and will be used for future studies of differential protein expression in rat models of neurological disorders.
