Objective To explore the clinicopathologic characteristics,diagnosis and therapy of differentiated thyroid cancer in children and adolescents.Methods The files of 68 children with differentiated thyroid cancer in our hospital from 1989-2002 were retrospectively reviewed.Results All patients received operationand postoperative thyroxin therapy.Seventeen patients underwent near-total or total thyroidectomy and 51 patients underwent ipsilateral subtotal thyroidectomy.Central compartment,unilateral and bilateral cervical lymphadenectomy was performed in 24,36,and 8 patients respectively.The patients in this group were all aliveduring one year to three years follow up(4 patients were lost to followup contact after three years).Conclusions The optimal treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer in pediatric patients continues to be debated.The leading treatment is surgical.Selection of proper surgical procedure and comprehensive postoperativetherapy are important for good outcome.Endocrine therapy was given to all of the patients postoperatively.

Because of ignoring the basic knowledge training, the medicine graduates lack ba-sic knowledge of clinical pathology, which has seriously affected their improvement of medical skills. The paper analyzes the status of pathology teaching in clinical medicine graduates and the necessity to strengthen clinical pathology general education. Then it proposes measures about enhancing clinical pathology general education, so as to increase the basic clinical pathology knowledge of medical grad-uates.

Objective To study the effect of intraoperative intermittent pneumatic compression(IPC)on patients undergoing gynaecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods Two hundred infertile patients to undergo exploratory laparotomy were randomized equally into the observation group and the control group.The patients in both groups were managed with laparoscopic operation at lithotomy position under general anaesthesia.During the operation,the control group was treated with nil intervention,while the observation group with IPC.The two groups were compared in terms of blood coagulation indexes before operation,days 1 and 3 after operation,blood flow rate of femoral vein before operation,30 mins and day 1 after the operation,and deep vein thrombosis(DVT) three months after operation.Results Three months after operation,12 cases of DVT occurred in the control group,and only 2 cases in the observation group.The difference was significant between the groups(χ2=6.22,P<0.05).The prothrombintime time and activated par-tialthrom boplastin time in the observation group were both longer than those of the control group,but the human fibrinogen was less(all P<0.05).The blood flow rate of femoral vein in the observation group was higher than that of the control group 30 mins and day 1 after operation(P<0.05),though the rates of femoral vein in the observation group showed insignificant differences between all the time points(F=1.94,P>0.05).Conclusion IPC used during laparoscopic surgery may be safe and effective as a result of improving blood circulation of lower limbs and preventing venothrombosis in lower limbs.

Objective:To study the effect of Cyclosporine A preconditioning on liver preservation and transplantation in rat.Methods:Rats were divided randomly into control group (group A,HTK solution preservation) and CsA precondioning group (groupB,HTK solution preservation+1?M CsA).The livers of two groups were had been all preservated for 12 hours before operation of orthotopic liver transplantation.The content of serum AST,ALT,LDH were all assayed during preservation in 0h,12h and 7d post liver transplantation,as well as determination of mitochondrial respiration function parameters (RCR and P/O).The change of cell morphology and apoptosis were also observed by TUNEL stain,and miclroscopes in two groups.Results:The content of serum ALT,AST and LDH in group B were less than in group A after presenvation for 12 hours.RCR and P/O parameters of mitochondrial respiration in group B on preservation for 12h.and for 30 min after operation were more than in group A.Cell morphology and apoptosis changed slingtly compared with group B.Conclusion:CsA preconditioning can relieve injury of donated liver during cold preseration and reperfusion.It protects mitochondrial fuction of liver cells and inlibits cell apoptosisa.

BACKGROUND: Acute renal insufficiency (ARI) usually occurred following liver transplantation due to the surgical trauma and the application of immunosuppressant, which lack of unified diagnostic criteria. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the experience of diagnosis and treatment of ARI following liver transplantation.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The experiment was performed at the 458 Hospital of Chinese PLA from January 2004 to December 2006.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 37 cases received liver transplantation, including 35 males and 2 females, aged 37-67 years, mean aged (48.5±8.9) years. All cases were divided into the liver cancer group (n=16) and liver cirrhosis group (n=21). The liver cirrhosis group included 16 cases with posthepatitic type B cirrhosis, 4 with posthepatitic type C cirrhosis, and 1 with alcoholic cirrhosis. All these cases were in decompensation stage. The final diagnosis was performed by pathological examination. METHODS: The removal of kidney and construction of blood outflow tract was achieved by modified piggy-back liver transplantation. The arterial blood gas analysis, blood routine examination, renal function and liver function were examined more than twice per day. The cephalosporins, Fluconazole and ganciclovir or vancomycin were used for 5-7 days to prevent infections.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The incidence rate of acute ARI, clinical features and outcomes of patients were observed.RESULTS: ARI developed in 19 patients with liver transplantation, 5 patients died, 14 patients recovered in 2-3 weeks. The incidence of ARI following liver transplantation was associated with infection, bleeding shock, respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The incidence of ARI following liver transplantation was 51.35%, with 26.32% mortality rate. The early diagnosis and treatment are the key steps for increasing successful rate of ARI treatment following liver transplantation.

Objective To investigate the cytotoxicity of γδ T cells to HIV-1 latency cells in patients with early HIV-1 infection.Methods Sixteen early HIV-1-infected patients were enrolled in this study.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients were isolated and γδ T cells were expanded using zoledronate (5 μmol/L) and interleukin (IL)-2 (1 000 IU/mL) ex vivo.Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) was used to detect the cytotoxic role of γδ T cells to HIV-1 latency cells(J-Lat Full Length Clonel0.6).The phenotype of γδ T cells before and after expansion and the intensity of GFP in HIV-1 latency cells were detected by flow cytometry.Results Zoledronate plus IL-2 stimulated rapid and large γδ T cells proliferation ex vivo (P＜0.001).γδ T cells showed high cytotoxici ty to latency cells,and the intensity of GFP in latency cells was decreased significantly (P＜0.05).Moreover,expanded γδ T cells displayed cytotoxic NK-like phenotype,the frequency of CD56+ Vδ2 T cells in patients with early HIV-1 infection was significantly higher than that of healthy controls.Conclusions γδ T cell has an ability to eradicate HIV-1 latency,and γδ T cell-based autologous or xenogenous adoptive immunotherapy will have promise prospects to cure HIV-1 infection.

Objective: To select suitable conditions for prokaryotic expression and purification of rhIL-17. Methods: rhIL-17 was expressed in E. coli host under heat induction. After compared among the expression amounts in different media under different heat induction time, the most suitable conditions was selected. The target protein was present in the form of inclusion body. The precipitate of inclusion was obtained and purified after 6M guanidine solublization or 2% SDS solublization. Results: Either protocol could yield rhIL-17 with high purity and stable activity. The SDS solublization mehthod gives rise to much more higher productivity than the guanidine solublization method. Conclusion: rhIL-17 were expression in E. coli system and purified to homogenicity by SDS solublization methods with high productivity.

AIM: To purify and refold the inclusion body of a human anti-HBsAg scFv with a 6?His tag, and to determine the affinity constant of the purified recombinant product.METHODS: Solubilizing in buffers containing urea or guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl), the inclusion body was purified by IMAC, and then refolded by dialysis against urea or GuHCl, at the same time, Ni 2+ charged chelate column was utilized for in situ refolding. The affinity constant of the refolded scFv, polished by immune-affinity chromatography, was determined by non-competitive ELISA. RESULTS: The refolded scFv with highest specific bioactivity was produced by dialysis against GuHCl. Under this condition, the recovery of target protein reached (61.08?1 45)%. The affinity constant of the polished scFv was confirmed to be(2.30?0.32) ?10 7 L/mol. CONCLUSION: The inclusion body studied in this paper can be refolded efficiently under optimal dialysis condition in vitro . The antigen-binding property of this recombinant scFv is not affected by the purification tag fused to the N terminal of the protein.
