Anastomotic leak belongs to the serious complications of low anterior resection with high morbidity and fatality.In recent decades,many strategies aimed at lowering the incidence of anastomotic leakage have been developed.This review focused on the methods for preventing anastomotic leakage through searching PudMed and Wanfang data for all related papers.Strategies were categorised as defunctioning stoma,transcecal catheter ileostomy,indwelling rectal tube,valtrac-secured intracolonic bypass technique,free take-back ileostomy.Every strategy has its own advantages and disadvantages.But to date,except defunctioning stoma,none of the methods has been widely accepted due to the lack of high level evidences.However,free take-back ileostomy can avoid stoma related complication and readmission for closure and its initial effect is good,so deserve to further research.

Objective To investigate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in AGS cells. Methods AGS cells were cultured with either Hp11638 (CagA~+ , VacA~+ ) extract or Hp11638 mutant (CagA~+ , VacA~-) extract for 48 hours, then the cells and supernatants were collected. The concentration of ROS in AGS cells was measured by flow cytometry. The eytochrome C reduction was detected by spectrophotometer at 550 nm. Results The ROS levels in the AGS cells were correlated with two H. pylori strains in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The ROS levels in AGS cells treated with Hp11638 extract in different concentrations or times were correspondingly higher than those treated with Hp11638 mutant extract. Similar results were found in examination of cytochrome C reduction. Conclusion The elevation of ROS in AGS cells is related to effects of H. pylori proteins, and the VaeA protein involves in the process.

Background The incidence of dry eye is growing.However,the early diagnosis of dry eye is still difficult up to now.Keratograph 5M analyzer,a novel noninvasive ocular surface analyzer for dry eye may offer important parameters.Objective This study was to evaluate the clinical value of Keratograph 5M analyzer for clinical diagnosis of dry eye.Methods An observational study was proceeded with 88 cases who accepted myopia diagnosis in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from October to December 2013.A series of conventional dry eye-related examinations were performed on the patients,including tear film break-up time (TBUT),corneal fluorescein staining scoring,Schirmer Ⅰ test (S Ⅰ t),and then Keratograph 5M analyzer-related examinations were subsequently carried out,including noninvasive tear film break-up time (NITBUT) and conjunctival hyperemia scoring.The correlations between conventional dry eye-related examinations and Keratograph 5M analyzer-related examinations were assessed by using Spearman rank correlation analysis.Results A total of 88 patients were recruited with male 32 and female 56.No significant difference in age was found between different genders (P =O.34).In 88 patients,Keratograph 5M analyzer showed the non-dry eyes in 15 patients,suspicious 44 patients (50.0％) and dry eyes in 29 patients (33.0％).However,the non-dry eyes were checked out in 39 patients and dry eyes were in 49 (55.7％) based on China Dry Eye Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus.The first NITBUT (NITBUTf) was less than the average NITBUT (NITBUTav) (P =0.00),and a positive correlation was seen between them (rs =0.62,P =0.00).Dry eye grade was significantly correlated with NITBUTf or NITBUTav or conjunctival hyperemia scoring (rs =-0.60,P =0.00 ; r,=-0.89,P =0.00 ; rs =0.24,P =0.02).A negative correlation was found between the conjunctival hyperemia scoring and NITBUTav (rs =-0.24,P =0.02).However,no significant correlation was seen between conjunctival hyperemia scoring and NITBUTf,TBUT,S Ⅰ t or corneal fluorescein staining scoring (rs=-0.13,P=0.22;rs=0.16,P=0.14;rs =-0.16,P=0.13;rs=-0.08,P=0.44).No significant difference was found between TBUT and NITBUTf (P =0.71).And TBUT was correlated with NITBUTf (rs =0.23,P =0.03),but not NITBUTav (rs =0.18,P =0.09).In addition,no significant correlations were seen between S Ⅰ t and NITBUTf or NITBUTav (rs=0.20,P=0.07;rs=0.05,P=0.66).Conclusions NITBUTav has an important significance in assessing overall ocular surface conditions.The conjunctival hyperemia score is one of refrent indicators to judge ocular surface status.

BACKGROUND: Defatting is to reduce the special cell surface antigens by clearing fat and lipoprotein, so as to decrease immunological rejection, improve the biocompatibility of allograft bone, and increase osteogenic potential. However, the effect of defatting on biomechanical performance of bone remains controversial.OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of defatting on the biomechanics of bovine cortical bone samples.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized, self-controlled observation was performed in Futian People's Hospital of Guangdong Medical College between 2006 and 2008.MATERIALS: Eight pairs of healthy adult bovine femora were used. Bone blocks, 50 mm long and 10 mm wide, were selected from each pair of femora, and burnished into 24 pairs of 7 mm×7 mm×40 mm rectangular bovine cortical bone samples.METHODS: The 24 pairs of cortical bone samples were randomly divided into two groups (n=12). One of each pair was selected as test group sample, and the other as control group sample. The samples of test group were defatted In 500 mL chloroform and methanol mixture (1:1) for 24 hours, while control samples were immerged in deionized water for 24 hours. Six samples from each group were selected for axial compressive test and three-point bending test.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Load and deflection of every sample.RESULTS: Axial compressive test showed that the maximum load and the maximum strain of defatted samples were significantly decreased compared with control group, but the fragility and elastic modulus were increased (P < 0.05). In three-point bending test, the maximum load and the maximum stress of defatted sampled were significantly decreased, the maximum deflection was decreased, and the elastic modulus was increased (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: The mechanical strength of cortical bone decreased but the fragility increased after defatting.

Objective To study the anti-tumor effect of Zhongjiefeng Injection in vitro and its combination with adriamycin.Methods MTT assay was adopted to determine the in-vitro anti-tumor effect,IC50 was used to measure the direct anti-tumor effect,and Jing' s formula was applied to analyze the combination of the drugs.Results Zhongjiefeng Injection can inhibit the proliferation of Bel 7402(human hepatoma cells),HCT-8(human colon cancer cells),and the IC50 was 33.13 mg/mL for Bel 7402 and 52.39 mg/mL for HCT-8 respectively.Zhongjiefeng Injection at the concentrations of 3.125,6.25,12.5 mg/mL showed an efficancy potentiation action with doxorubicin on the inhibition of HCT-8 cells in vitro,and 25,50 mg/mL showed a synergic effect on HCT-8 .Conclusion Zhongjiefeng Injection has a certain in-vitro inhibitory effect on the growth of Bel 7402 and HCT-8,its combination with doxorubicin in vitro can produce synergic effects(a simple combined or enhanced effects)to HCT-8 cells,especially high concentrations of Zhongjiefeng Injection with doxorubicin.It is suggested that Zhongjiefeng Injection in the doubled dosage may have a better synergistic effect with doxorubicin in clinical treatment of colon cancer.

Objective: To study left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) in patients with coronary artery disease(CAD) by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and color Doppler echocardiography. Methods: The maximum velocity ( V max ) and time velocity integration(TVI) in early and late diastolic stage of mitral valve orifice of 80 patients with CAD and 79 normal subjects were measured by color Doppler echocardiography at apical 4 chamber view. Meanwhile, the V max and/or TVI of the myocardial motion spectrum of left ventricular lateral wall near the mitral valve annulet were measured by TDI. These data were compared and analysed by statistical method. Results: In the normal subjects, the older the subject, the lower the V max and TVI of early diastolic stage, the higher the V max and TVI of late diastolic stage. In CAD group, changes were not associated with ages and were affected by the degree of the myocardial pathology. The LVDF couldn't be exactly judged by color Doppler echocardiography when pseudonormalization blood flow spectrum appeared, but TDI technique was relatively sensitive. Any regional myocardial motion could be measured by TDI according to the examiner's design. Conclusion: LVDF by color Doppler echocardiography is simple and convenient. TDI technique can be used for determining overall LVDF and left ventricular systolic function. [

NAC transcription factors involved in plant growth and development, as well as responses to biotic and abiotic stress. RNAi Vectors for SmNAC transcription factors of Salvia miltiorrhiza was constructed by using Gateway cloning technology, in order to further study the function of SmNAC1 transcription factor. According to Gateway cloning technology, the specific fragments of SmNAC1 containing attB adapter was amplified by PCR using ultra-fideling phusion polymerase of NEB. By the BP recombination reaction, the PCR product containing attB was transferred to an donor vector (pENTR/SD/D-TOPO). Finally, SmNACi specific gene was cloned into pK7GWIWG2D plant expression vectors by LR recombination reaction. Experimental results showed that Gateway cloning technology provide a rapid and highly efficient way to clone the interested gene.
