Objective To explore the effects of anatomical and nonanatomical hepatectomy on the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods A total of 62 HCC patients were enrolled,including 33 cases of anatomical hepatectomy(Group AH)and 29 cases of nonanatomical hepa-tectomy(Group IH).The operation situation and hematocrystallin(HB)loss were record.Fasting venous blood of HCC patients were extracted for detection of circulating AFP mRNA expression.The recurrence, mortality and complication rate were recorded at the same time.Results The operative time of Group AH was significantly higher than that of Group IH,while the bleeding volume and HB loss were lower(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in AFP mRNA expression and recurrence rate.The short-term mortality rate of Group AH was lower than Group IH(P<0.05 ),but their long-term mortality rates were similar(P>0.05 ).There was no significant difference in complication rate between groups.Patients of Group AH got more hepatosis due to liver cirrhosis or fibrosis,while patients of Group IH got more bleeding or infection due to the central tumor.Conclusion Anatomical hepatectomy has advantages in protecting artery and improving prognosis for HCC patients,but it has surgical risks for patients with serious patholog-ical damage in hepatic lobes,and nonanatomical hepatectomy may be considered.

MicroRNA ( miRNA) is a family of 19 - 24 nucleotides small non - coding RNA in eukaryotic organisms , which can regulate genes at the post - transcriptional level. miRNA has been shown to be involved in a variety of cellular processes such as development, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis etc, and is closely related to the oncogene-sis. Recent study indicates that several miRNAs play an important role in initiation and progression of hematological malignancies. miRNA expression profiling has identified signatures associated with diagnoses, prognoses and therapy of hematological malignancies. The review discusses miRNA and its biogenesis, functional mechanisms and potential role in the diagnosis , prognoses and therapy of hematological malignancies.

With the improvement of endoscopic retrograde eholangiopancreatography (ERCP) technology, endoscopy is not only applied to diagnosis, but also utilized to therapy for cholangiopancreatic neoplasm. This article is to summarize the application of endoscopic technology on cholangiopancreatic neoplasm.

Objective To summarize the nursing care and cooperation with surgeons using transoral Orvil EEA stapler during total laparoscopic gastrectomy (TLG).Methods We present our initial experience of nursing care and cooperation with surgeons for 8 patients undergoing TLG using a circular end-toside anastomosis created with the transoral directed EEA circular stapler Orvil.Results The surgeries of all 8 patients were successfully completed under our good cooperation with surgeons using the technique of Orvil system.Conclusions Good preparations and knowing well the surgical procedures were the key points to achieve success using the transoral Orvil EEA stapler for patients undergoing TLG.

Hepatic satellite cell (HSC) is a kind of nonparenchymal cells in the liver,which releases various collagenous fibers and cytoskeletal proteins,playing an important role in the pathophysiological changes of the liver.In normal,HSCs maintain normal tissue architecture via regulating the synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins.During liver injury,HSCs were activated.Activated HSCs are the main cells that lead to the accumulation of extracellular matrix,which is the main reason of hepatic fibrosis,cirrhosis and liver failure.Therefore,lucubrating the role and mechanism of HSC in the progress of hepatic disease and investiating the HSC-related therapeutic strategies have practical significances for the prevention and treatment of liver injury and raise of patients' survival rates in clinical practice.

With the development of molecular mechanisms of hepatocelluar carcinoma,targeted therapy has been a research hotspot in recent years.Some target agents of hepatocellular carcinoma have been approved.We summarize the progress of targeted therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma in this paper.

With the wide application of liver transplantation techniques,rapid development of digital imaging medicine and continuous update of surgical implements,the theory of precision hepatectomy still keeps optimizing.Precision hepatectomy is not a surgical implement or surgical technique,but a concept of liver surgery emphasizing less bleeding,minimal invasion,fast recovery and long-term curative effect,which is updating and improving with the development of modern science.Much less intraoperative bleeding,shorter operation time,better postoperative recovery and long-term survival should be the chief pursuit and principle of precision hepatectomy.

Ontogenesis of gastrin cells (G cells) and somatostatin cells (D cells) in the gastrointestinal tract was studied by PAP and indirect immunofluorescence method in sixty human fetuses aged 8-38 weeks of gestation. The appearance of D cells and G cells was observed as early as 8-9 weeks of gestation. These cells were not seen in the submucosa and the tunica muscularis except the epithelium of gut. After 12 weeks of gestation, D cells can be found in the mucosa of the whole gut, whereas G cells only in the mucosa of the antrum and small intestine. The distribution, number and the ratio of G cells to D cells were also examined. In addition, we have observed that G cells in the antral mucosa often possessed processes which were considered to have paracrine function. The G cells and D cells were open-type endocrine cells in the human fetal gut except the D cells in the fundic mucosa. The possible function of G cells and D cells in the development of gut was discussed. The ratio of the two cell types in adult human antrum and upper duodenum has also been compared with that of fetus.

By means of ATPase histochemistry and OKT-6 immunogold-silver staining, it was demonstrated that Langerhans ceils (LC) were present in the epithelia of human skin, palatine tonsil, ectocervix and esophagus. In the skin LC were located mainly in the stratum spinosum of the epidermis. There were some LC in the hair follicle and duct of sebaceous gland, and a few in the dermis and around sebaceous gland acinus. In the tonsil, ectocervix and esophagus, LC were located mainly in the middle layer of epithelia. No LC were found in the lymphoid follicle and thymus-dependent zone of the tonsil, and no LC in the lamina propria of ectocervix and esophagus. ATPase histochemistry was also used to examine the distribution of epidermal LC in normal human skin of various ages and various anatomic regions. This study showed that the density and morphology of epidermal LC varied with age and different anatomic regions of human body. Statistical analysis indicated that LC density in various age groups was as follows: fetus

The aim of this study is to investigate comparatively the relationship between the endocrine and argyrophil cells in the rat gastrointestinal tract by means of the IGS, PAP immunohistochemical and Grimelius technique in the same sections. The results showed that the SS cells and almost G ceils can not be identified by Grimelius technique. The Grimelius technique had high specifity to reveal EC cells in the antrum of stomach and the intestine. Our technique is relatively simple and reliable, and may be used for consecutive demonstration of argyrophil cells and bioactive peptide-containing cells.
