BACKGROUND: How to obtain human-derived hepatocyte of high quality is the key problem for both bioartificial liver and hepatocyte transplantation. Bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) can differentiate hepatocyte under proper condition, which provides a new think for obtaining hepatocyte.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the methods of the trans-differentiation of human BMSCs into hepatocyte in rats so as to provide a new think for clinical transplantation of liver and source of bioartificial liver.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: General Surgery of Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted at Central Laboratory of Zhujia ng Hospital of Southern Medical University from May 2004 to February 2005. Totally 40 male SD rats of clean grade were divided randomly into five groups: model group, modeling + 14-day transplantation group of human BMSCs, modeling + 28-day transplantation group of human BMSCs, modeling + 14-day transplantation group of CL-1 cell (human hepatocyte family), and modeling + 28-day transplantation group of CL-1 cell (human hepatocyte family) with 8 in each group.acetaminofIuorene + carbon tetrachloride + cyclophosphamide were esand differentiated into hepatocyte with remedial liver regeneration. Human BMSCs were observed for 14 days in modeling + 14-day transplantation group of human BMSCs, for 28 days in modeling + 28-day transplantation group of human BMSCs, for 14 days in modeling + 14-day transplantation group of CL-1 cell and for 28 days in modeling + 28-day transplantation group of CL-1 cell. However, cells in model group function of rats was measured at normal state, before and after transplantation. The expressions of human albumin mRNA in liver were detected by immunohistochemistry staining, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) respectively.of human albumin mRNA in liver.transplantation of human BMSCs on hepatic function and content of total bilirubin: Hepatic function and content of total bilirubin in each transplantation group were similar to those in model group at normal state and before transplantation (P ＞ 0.05); values in each group were obviously increased before transplantation as compared with those at normal state (P ＜ 0.01) and were obviously decreased after transplantation as compared with those before transplantation (P ＜ 0.01) but were higher ical section of hepatic cells: At normal state, pathological section of hepatic cells showed that hepatic cells lined in strip-chorda shape and radian shape around central vein; and inflammatory cells were not infiltrated in crossed-channel area. Necrosis was observed in model group. Proliferated changes were observed in transplantation groups of human BMSCs after a few of necrosis, and ovale-round cells and small bile duct proliferation main histocompatibility antigen-I in liver: Positive rate was 0 in model group; (13.03±0.18)% in modeling + 14-day transplantation group of human BMSCs; (9.47±0.46)% modeling + 28-day transplantation group of human BMSCs; (10.27±0.50)% in modeling + 14-day transplantation group of CL-1 cell; and (9.84±0.23)% in modeling + 28-day transplanwas detected in model group, but Sox11 and Alu-sx were detected in both transplantation groups of human BMSCs and CL-1 cells at various RT-PCR: Expression of human albumin mRNA was not observed in model group, but expression of that was observed in transplantation groups of human BMSCs and CL-1 cell as well as positive controls at various time points respectively.CONCLUSION: Human BMSCs can promote recovery of hepatic function.Replaceable rate of human-derived cells is 10% in liver of rats, which suggests that human BMSCs can converse into hepatocyte in xenoma and replace partly.

Objective To estimate the safety,feasibility and generalization of three point single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC).Methods The clinical data of 1 126 patients who underwent three-point SILC at the second department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Zhu Jiang Hospital,Southern Medical University From January 1,2011 to December 30,2015 was analyzed retrospectively.The patient who were indicated for conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included,but those suspected malignant diseases of gallbladder were excluded.Results Of the 1126 patients,the surgery was performed successfully in 923 patients,and 192 patients need extra ports due to the adhesion and difficulty of exposing the Calots triangle,and 11 were converted to open surgery due to severe adhesion,with the success rate being 81.9％.The operating time was (29.5 ± 12.2) min (from the entrance of laparoscope to the removing of gallbladder),the blood loss was (8.7 ± 7) ml,and the hospital stay time was (1.4 ± 0.7) d (after surgery).There were three cases of bile duct injury:two of them were bile leak of aberrant duct,one of them was bile leak of cystic duct damaged by heat.And there was one case of injury of duodenum,22 cases of umbilicus hematoma,13 cases of hematoma of thorax,and 2 cases of thoracic hemorrhage who required surgery.There were no hernia,aerothorax and so on.Conclusion Three point SILC is a technology that is safe,maneuverable and suitable for being carried out in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVETo explore the risk factors of unplanned reoperation after radical resection for colorectal cancer.

METHODSA retrospective analysis of 60 patients (within 14 to 24 days after the initial surgery) receiving unplanned reoperation after colorectal cancer surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2010 to January 2014 was carried out, comparing with 120 randomly paired patients without reoperation during the same period. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics of patients in both groups.

RESULTSUnivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male, massive blood loss, diabetes, high BMI, hypertension and poorer tumor staging were selected as possible risk factors, and surgeon and laparoscopic surgery as conservative factors (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that massive blood loss (OR=12.935, 95% CI: 2.267 to 73.806, P=0.004), diabetes (OR=1.747, 95% CI: 1.098 to 2.777, P=0.018) and male (OR=1.805, 95% CI: 1.074 to 3.034, P=0.026) were the independent risk factors of unplanned reoperation after radical resection for colorectal cancer.

CONCLUSIONFor heavy bleeding, diabetes and male gender in patients with colorectal cancer, surgeon should pay attention to prevent the risk of postoperative unplanned reoperation.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of imatinib on growth impairment in children with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-CP) in the chronic phase.Methods:From July 2018 to July 2019, questionnaires were distributed to CML children aged <18 years at the time of diagnosis who were receiving imatinib for at least 3 months or to their parents in China. The height-for-age standard deviation score (HtSDS) and the difference of standard deviation integral (△HtSDS) were used to explore the change in height with imatinib therapy.Results:The data of 238 respondents were included; 138 (58.0% ) respondents were men. The median age at the first diagnosis of CML was 11.0 years (range, 1.4-17.9 years) , and 93 (39.0% ) respondents were at the prepuberty stage. At the time of completing the questionnaires, the median age was 15.0 years (range, 2.0-34.0 years) . The median duration of imatinib therapy was 28 months (range, 3-213 months) . Among all the respondents, the mean HtSDS when completing the questionnaires (-0.063±1.361) was significantly lower than that at the time of starting imatinib treatment (0.391±1.244) ( P<0.001) . Total 71.0% respondents showed growth impairment that was more common in those starting imatinib therapy at prepubertal age than in those starting at pubertal age. Multivariate analysis showed that younger at the start of imatinib therapy ( P<0.001) and longer duration of imatinib therapy ( P<0.001) were significantly associated with severe growth impairment on imatinib therapy. Conclusions:Imatinib induced growth impairment in children with CML-CP. Younger the age of initiation and longer the duration of imatinib therapy, more obvious the effect of imatinib on growth impairment.
