Objective To evaluate the role of thoracoscopy-assisted mini-incision in surgical treatment of lung tuberculosis.Methods From 1999 to 2004,pulmonary lobectomy was performed with thoracoscopy-assisted mini-incision(5-7 cm) on 42 patients with lung tuberculosis(right superior lobectomy in 16,right middle lobectomy in 4,right inferior lobectomy in 4,left superior lobectomy in 10,left lingular lobectomy in 4,and left inferior lobectomy in 4).Results None of the patients were converted to open surgery.The mean operation time was 105 min(35-170 min);blood loss ranged 100-800 ml(mean,150 ml).In the patients,thoracic drainage lasted for 1-5 d(mean,2.8 d) after the operation,and the hospital stay was 4-11 d(mean,6.7 d).During a 2-to 13-month follow-up(mean,8.2),no patient showed positive sputum,bronchopleural fistula,or diffusion of tuberculosis.Conclusions Since thoracoscopy-assisted mini-incision is assosiated with minimal tissue injury,few blood loss,quick postoperative recovery,short hospital stay,and few complications after the surgical treatment of lung tuberculosis,it is worth being widely used.For surgeons,it is important to remember the indications for the procedure.

This study was to explore a better three-dimensional (3-D) culture method of chondrocyte. The interpenetrating network (IPN) gel beads were developed through a photo-cross linking reaction with mixed barium ions and calcium ions at the ratio of 5:5 with the methacrylic alginate (MA), which was a chemically conjugated alginate with methacrylic groups. The second generation of primary cartilage cells was encapsulated in the MA gel beads for three weeks. In the designated timing, HE stain, Alamar blue method and Scanning electron microscopic were used to determine the cartilage cells growth, proliferation and the cell distribution in the scaffolds, respectively. The expression of type II collagen was investigated by an immunohistochemistry assay and the glycosaminoglycan content was quantitatively evaluated with the spectrophotometry of 1, 9 dimethylene blue assay. Compared to the alginate control group, the deposition of glycosaminoglycan was significantly upregulated in IPN-MA gel beads with higher cell proliferation. The secretion of extracellular matrix and proliferation of chondrocyte in methacrylic alginate gel beads were higher than that in Alginate beads. Cells were able to attach, to grow well on the scaffolds under scanning electron microscopy. The result of immunohistochemistry staining of collagen type II was positive, confirming the maintenance of chondrocyte phenotype in methacrylic alginate gel beads. This study shows a great potential for three-dimensional culture of cartilage.

Objective To explore the influence of high fat diet on learning and memory,as well as the alteration of the number of neurons and morphology of dendritic spines in rat hippocampi.Methods 24 male adult SD rats were randomly assigned to high fat diet group or control group.The rats were fed with high-fat diet or standaM laboratory rodent chow diet for 12 weeks.Learning and memory were tested by Morris water maze and object recognition tests, and mood and motor ability were tested by open field tests.Golgi staining detected dendritic spine density of hippocampal neurons, and Nissl staining was used to observe the number of hippocampal neurons and pathological changes.Results High-fat diet induced rat spatial learning deficits, which was demonstrated by the prolonged escape latency ((38.50±9.70) s, (20.08±7.35) s, (19.96± 10.56) s, (22.75± 12.51) s, (14.56±4.82) s) compared with the control ((33.61±12.41) s, (14.25±7.89) s, (15.06±7.59) s, (5.53±2.81) s, (4.7± 1.58) s).The spatial memory deficits demonstrated that the latency reaching platform ((30.46± 21.43) s) was prolonged compared with control ((5.18± 1.33)s).The working memory was impaired, which was demonstrated by the prolonged escape latency compared with control group (P< 0.05).Discrimination index lowered than control group ((0.67±0.12) vs (0.81±0.08)), and the difference was significant (P=0.038), but no anxiety behaviors were observed(P=0.461).The neuron number of hippocampal neurons and dendritic spine density were significantly lowered than those in the control group((209.73±24.29) vs (262.2±18.94), (17.9±2.84) vs (21.93±2.56) ,respectively) (P<0.05).Conclusion Intake of high-fat diet can impair learning and memory in rats, as well as decrease the number of neurons and the density of dendritic spines in the hippocampus.

Objective To explore the effect of mesenteric lymphatic ligation on liver injury induced by severe acute pancreatitis. Methods 54 SD rats are randomly divided into sham-operation group (A), severe acute pancreatitis group (B) and severe acute pancreatitis and ligation group (C). Liver tissues were collected from each rat in 6, 12, and 24 h after ligation. Pathological changes in liver tissues were observed by haematoxylin and eosin staining. Levels of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase were detected. Levels of TNF-α and IL-1 in liver homogenate were examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results Under light microscopic examination, neutrophils and inflammatory exudate in hepatic lobule was increased as time prolonged in group B. Inflammation was reduced in group C as compared with group B.Levels of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase were more significantly increased in groups B and C than in group A (P<0.05);while they were more significantly decreased in group C than in group B. Levels of TNF-αand IL-1 in liver homogenate were significantly increased in group B as compared with group A (P < 0.05); whereas they were more significantly decreased in group C than in group B at 24 h (P < 0.05). Conclusions Mesenteric lymphatic ligation can reduce liver injury in severe acute pancreatitis. Mesenteric lymphatic fluids may play an important role in severe acute pancreatitis.

Objective To identify susceptible miRNAs for the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the molecular targets of losartan treatment. Methods The 8-week age KKAy mice were divided into losartan treatment group (10 mg· kg-1· d-1) and non-treatment group,C57BL/6 mice were used as the control group.At age of 20 weeks,body weight,random blood glucose,urinary albumin and urinary creatinine were tested,and kidney morphology was observed.Glomeroli were separated by magnetic beads perfusion,and total RNA were extracted.MiRNAs expression profiles were analyzed by the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNAs arrays. Results At age of 20 weeks,KKAy mice developed higher body weight,higher blood glucose and higher urinary microalbumin creatinine ratio than C57BL/6 mice,and the glomerular basement membrane thickened,mesangial matrix widened.Losartan treatment markedly improved the level of urinary albumin creatinine ratio [(539.71±100.23) mg/g vs (728±177.19) mg/g,P<0.05)] and pathological lesion of KKAy mice.The miRNA array analysis showed that there were 22 miRNAs differentially expressed between KKAy non-treatment mice and C57BL/6 mice glomeruli at age of 20 weeks.Among them,10 miRNAs were up-regulated,and 12 miRNAs were down-regulated.The expression of 4 miRNAs was down-regulated in glumeruli of KKAy mice treated by losartan compared with that of non-treatment mice.The expressions of miRNA-503 and miRNA-181d were significantly up-regulated in the glumeruli of KKAy mice and inhibited by losartan treatment, Conclusion The expressions of miRNA-503 and miRNA-181d are significantly up-regulated in the glumeruli of KKAy mice and inhibited by losartan treatment,which may be new therapeutic targets of DN.
