1.Hepatobiliary surgery in the era of translational medicine
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2013;(1):6-9
Translational medicine is an emerging medical research pattern,its connotation includes a two-way process with effective translation of the latest basic research results into the available clinical medical technologies and products,and give the feedback of the clinical medical problems to the laboratory.It's a kind of bidirectional research,namely Bench to Bedside and Bedside to Bench.Translational medicine is one of the medical science frontiers.In recent years,scientists around the world pay high attention to the clinical translational applications of research results of hepatobiliary surgery,and relevant research and regulations formulation have started under the leadership of government.Actually,translational medicine plays an important role in the success of hepatobiliary surgery in liver transplantation era till now.China is expected to be at the forefront in hepatobiliary surgery and translational medicine in the world in the near future.Chinese surgical circles should have the whole world in view,set in the worldwide development in translational medicine,accelerate the dissemination of ideas in-depth to improve the technology and curative effect.

Objective Using coded harmonic angiography to observe hepatocellular carcinoma blood perfusion features,further assess this modality clinical value in qualitative diagnosis of liver malignant tumor.Methods Through left forearm vein bolus injection of fluorine-carbon contrast agent,35 patients with 41 hepatocellular carcinoma lesions were examined with coded harmonic angiography,intratumoral vessel enhanced time,vascularity,blood perfusion were observed.All patients were simultaneously videotaped before and after contrast.Results It was about 15~20 s after the injection of contrast agent when the enhancement of tumor had just commenced,peak time about 60~90 s and persistence time about 240~300 s.Lesions were more obviously enhanced than normal liver tissue,several tumor vascularity was displayed from border to center,contrast agent gradually centripetal filled-in,formed "weeping-willow" echo.Pressed and rimlike peripheral vessel developments were earlier than normal liver tissue.Conclusions Coded harmonic angiography could real-timely display hepatocellular carcinoma blood perfusion,which has an important clinical value in qualitative diagnosis of liver malignant tumor.

Objective To study the effects of sFas in hepatocellular cancer (HCC) and chronic hepatitis (CH). Methods The serum sFas was detected in 18 patients with HCC, 12 patients with CH and 6 cases of normal control by ELISA. Results The serum sFas in HCC was obviously increased and had significant difference with the patients of CH and normal control (P<0.01). The serum sFas had positive correlation with the serum TBIL(P<0.01), but negative correlation with the ALB, PTA and the ratio of ALT/AST(P<0.01).Conclusions sFas may resist the occurrence of HCC apoptosis. In CH, sFas has correlation with the severity of CH. The role of sFas in viral hepatitis is uncertain.

Objective: To study the effects of static tensile strai n on the secretion of prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2) of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PLFs). Methods: Human PLFs were treated by tensile strain values of 0%,8%,12%,16% and 20% for 24, 48 and 72 h respecti vely with a self-devised loading apparatus in vitro. All samples were rando mly allocated into 15 groups and there were 3 in each group. After treatment cu lture media of the samples were collected and the content of PGE 2 in each medi um sample was determined using RIA ELISA. The data analysis was carried out with SPSS using Dunnett test. Results: In group of 0% the sec retion of PGE 2 by PLFs per day had no relation with loading time; E 2 secre tion increased with the increace of loading time and with the tensile strain va lue in the group of 8%,12% and 16%(P

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of ketogenic diet (KD) therapy in the epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS) associated with TBC1D24 gene mutation.Methods:Clinical data of two children with TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS were collected retrospectively, who were admitted to Department of Pediatrics, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from 2019 to 2020. Their clinical characteristics and the efficacy and safety of KD therapy were analyzed, and literature review was conducted.Results:Seizures were onset before six months old in the two children with TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS. Multifocal myoclonic seizures were manifested and happened frequently, lasting for more than 30 minutes sometimes. Developmental retardation was obvious in the two children. A small amount of focal sharp, spike, sharp-slow complex, and spike-slow complex waves were showed in the interictal electroencephalography (EEG). TBC1D24 gene mutations were found in the two children, one with a compound heterozygous mutation (c.1025C>T, p.S342L; c.229_c.240delATCGTGGGCAAG,p.I77_K80del), and the other with a homozygous mutation [c.119G>A,p.R40H(Arg40His)]. Both of those were potentially pathogenic. A variety of anti-epileptic drugs showed poor outcome for the two children. The epilepsy was drug-refractory one. After four to 17 months of KD therapy, the epilepsy in the two children was controlled effectively. There was not obvious adverse reactions. Among six children with TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS in the literature review, four cases were effective or partially effective for KD therapy, one was discontinued due to insufficient ketogenic ratio, and one was discontinued without effect. There were no obvious adverse reactions in the six children.Conclusions:TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS is mostly drug-refractory epilepsy. Early KD therapy may help to control seizures.

Objective To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs13333226 in uromodulin (UMOD) gene with diabetic kidney diseases (DKD) in Han population in Tianjin,China.Methods A total of 210 type 2 diabetes (T2DM),90 normal controls (NC) and 280 DKD patients were recruited.According to the level of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),the DKD subjects were further subdivided into three groups:GFR≥90 ml/min group (n=105),60 ml/mim≤GFR < 90 ml/min group (n=84) and GFR < 60 ml/min group (n=91).Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used for UMOD rs13333226C genotyping.Results The frequencies of AA,GA,GG genotype were 27.8%,58.9%,13.3% in NC group and 41.0%,48.6%,10.5% in T2DM group and 54.3%,36.1%,9.6% in DKD group.The frequency of G allele was 42.8% in NC group,34.8% in T2DM group and 27.7% in DKD group.The genotype distribution of UMOD was statistically significant between NC group and DKD group,and between T2DM group and DKD group (P < 0.05).G allele of UMOD was an independent protective gene polymorphism of DKD in Logistic regression (B=-0.248,Wald=8.012,P=0.021,OR=0.780,95% CI 0.612-0.968).Conclusion The G allele of UMOD gene may be an independent protective factor of DKD in Han population in Tianjin,China.

Objective To improve the selection of flying cadets of the Air Force of People′s Liberation Army of China ( PLAAF) by analyzing the differences of medical identification of lumbar spondylolysis between PLAAF and the US Air Force ( USAF) .Methods Flight crew who had been checked for lumbar spondylolysis during hospitalization at the Air Force General Hospital between 2013 and 2015 were chosen.The results of their medical identification were compaired according to PLAAF and USAF Medical Standards Directory, and their differences and possible reasons were analyzed accordingly.Results The qualified rate of PLAAF was about 85%, which was very close to the standards of USAF, but the difference was not of any statistical significance(P>0.05).Conclusion The standards of our medical identification of lumbar spondylolysis was similar to those of USAF, suggesting that the selection of flying cadets can be improved.
