This review is to provide an overview of current situation and advance of abdominal compartment syndrome. Progress has been made in diagnosis and therapy of abdominal compartment syndrome. At present patients who are diagnosed as abdominal compartment syndrome are associated with a high mortality rate. Therefove, it is important to diagnoze and treat the disease early. Surgical treatment of increased intraabdominal pressure leads in most instances to a rapid and profound correction of the physiological abnormalities. Operative treatment is the unique and effective approach of abdominal compartment syndrome.

Breast cancer stem cells (BCSC)are a class of breast cancer cells that have the capacity of selfrenewal and can differentiate into different cell lineages. These cells, with the ability of high tumorigenesis, invasion and metastasis, play a important role in breast cancer metastasis, recurrence and treatment resistance. The treatments targeting on breast cancer stem cells are very important for improving the efficacy of clinical therapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnosis and treatment of occult thyroid carcinoma(OCT).MethodsRetrospective analysis on the clinical data of 34 cases of OCT was made. ResultsOnly 6 cases were preoperatively diagnosed as OCT. Total resection of the affected lobe and isthmus was performed on 16 cases with neck dissection in 14 cases. Subtotal thyroidectomy was performed on 18 cases. The occult cancer lesion was pathologically confirmed within ipsolateral lobe in all the 34 cases. Neck lymph node metastasis was found in 4 cases and local infiltration in 3 cases. The psammoma bodies in cancer lesion and adjacent normal gland were found in 15 cases. Thirty-one cases were followed up for an average of 9 years. One died of lung metastasis and two more of other unrelated diseases. Conclusion(1) The psammoma bodies in normal thyroid gland usually imply the existence of cancer. (2) Total thyroidectomy of a lobe or subtotal thyroidectomy was the therapy of choice. Local infiltration or neck lymph node metastasis necessitates additional neck dissection.

Objective To explore the clinical and pathological features of carcinoma in bladder diverticulum,and its diagnosis and treatment. Methods This series included 5 cases of carcinomas in bladder diverticula (male,4 and female 1;mean age,73 years).Three cases were pre-operatively confirmed by biopsy with cystoscopy,and 2 were intra-operatively confirmed by frozen section of samples.Of the 5 cases,2 of transitional cell carcinoma underwent partial cystectomy;the remaining 3,each of whom had squamous cell carcinoma,adenocarcinoma and mixed carcinoma (squamous cell carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma),underwent radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder.After operation 3 cases received chemotherapy,1 case received chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Results The 5 cases were followed up for an average of 23 months (6～72 months).Two cases of transitional cell carcinoma had relapse,and then underwent radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder.Of them 1 died of distant metastasis soon after operation,the other had survived free of tumor for 6 years since operation.The case of squamous cell carcinoma died of multiorgan metastasis 14 months after operation.The case of adenocarcinoma died of myocardial infarction 11 months after operation.The case of mixed carcinoma had survived free of tumor for 6 months since operation. Conclusions Cystoscopy and imaging play an important role in detecting tumors originating from the bladder diverticulum.Surgical operation,especially radical cystectomy,should be performed.Adjunctive therapies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be conducted if necessary.

Objective To investigate the depiction rate of normal cisterna chyli and thoracic duct by nonenhanced MR lymphography and to describe their appearances on MR imaging.Methods Special MR hydrography sequence was added to the MR imaging protocols of 112 patients undergoing MR examination of the thorax and upper abdomen.MR imaging sequences included:①Respiratory-gated HASTE T2W sequence;②Breath-hold FLASH T1W sequence;③Respiratory-gated TSE 3D T2W sequence(3D MR hydrography sequence)in coronal plane.One hundred cases who met the inclusion criteria were included into the study for observation of the depiction rate,location and morphology of cisterna chyli and thoracic duct.Results On TSE 3D T2W imaging:①Cisterna chyli was visualized in 71/100(depiction rate 71.0%),morphologically including single-tube type 43.7%(31/71),bifurcation type(2-3 tubes)23.9%(17/71),plexus type 32.4%(23/71).Average length of the cisterna chyli was 4.5 cm.②The depiction rate of the lower segment of thoracic duct was 57.0%(57/100),average ductal diameter was 0.23 cm.③The depiction rate of upper segment of the thoracic duct was 31.0%(31/100).Conclusion As a noninvasive method for depicting the lymphatic system,nonenhaced MR lymphography(TSE 3D T2W sequence)demonstrated a high depiction rate for cisterna chyli and lower thoracic duct.Combined with axial images of HASTE and FLASH sequences,the location and morphology of these larger lymphatic ducts can be defined.

BACKGROUND: Tooth intrusion easily leads to root resorption. Previous studies regarding orthodontic treatment-caused tooth root resorption or retrospective clinical studies based on X-ray films have great errors in outcome evaluation because of intrusion force which cannot be precisely controlled. OBJECTIVE: This study established dog models of mini-implant anchorage for incisor intrusion to observe the histological changes of tooth root and periodontal tissue and to evaluate the feasibility and safety of mini-implant anchorage for incisor intrusion. METHODS: Nine dogs were assigned to one control group (n = 1) and four experimental groups per time to sacrifice (1, 2, 4 and 12 weeks; n = 2 dogs for each experimental group). No force was added to the control group. In the experimental groups, mini-implant as an anchorage was placed in the buccal alveoli between maxillary second and third incisors on each side. A traction force of 100 g was imposed to each side to intrude the maxillary first and second incisors on each side. At 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks (traction force was imposed for 4 weeks and after withdrawal of extraction force, mini-implant was retained in place for 8 weeks), dogs were sacrificed. The first and second incisors together with gingival and alveolar bone were completely resected to prepare histological specimens. Following hematoxylin-eosin staining, histological changes of tooth root and periodontal tissue were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, in the 1-week group, histological changes were primarily at the root tip and alveolar ridge crest, alveolar bone and cementum were absorbed and peridental membrane presented glassy degeneration in local region; in the 2-week group, bone resorption degree and range were obviously enlarged, and bone resorption developed from root tip, root middle part to cervical part; in the 4-week group, bone resorption was still active and the glassy degeneration of peridental membrane disappeared; in the 12-week group, significant improvement in alveolar bone and cemental surface was observed, bone lacuna had deposition of newly formed bone, and peridental membrane was orderly arranged. These findings reveal that in the mini-implant anchorage for dog incisor intrusion, early histological changes primarily appear in the root tip and alveolar ridge crest, presenting as alveolar bone and cemental resorption and the glassy degeneration of the peridental membrane. Bone resorption extent and range expand with the persistence of traction force. After withdrawal of traction force, tooth root and periodontal tissue were gradually repaired

Objective: To explore the effects of ulinastatin on the level of MIF in rats with acute necrotic pancreatitis. Method: 52 healthy Wister rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal control group(group C, 12), ANP group(group A, 20)and UTI group(group U, 20). Severe acute pancreatitis rat model in group A were induced by injection of 315 % sodium taurocholate through retrogradely common biliopancreatic ducts via papilla duodeni. After inducing the rat model of ANP through the way above, rats in group U were treated by ulinastatin through portal vein injection. Pancreas and duodenum were only flipped after opening abdominal cavity in group C. Then rats were killed at 3rd, 6th ,12th ,24th hour after operation respectively. Cut the belly open at once, and draw blood in postcava. The levels of serum MIF were determined with ELISA. Blood amylase was detected through biochemistry instrument. Resected pancreas tissues was scored according to the standard of Kusske. Result: Compared to the normal control group, the level of serum MIF , blood amylase and histopathological scores were significantly increased in ANP group, P

AIM: To explore the clinical significance of detecting sCD44s and sCD44v6 in breast carcinoma.METHODS: Levels of serum soluble CD44 standard (sCD44s) and CD44 variant 6(sCD44v6) were detected by ELISA in 38 cases of breast cancer, 15 cases of benign breast diseases and 40 normal controls. RESULTS:The serum levels of sCD44s and sCD44v6 were significantly higher in patients with breast cancer than those with benign disease or normal controls. The serum concentrations of sCD44s and sCD44v6 in patients with stage Ⅲ, Ⅳ were significantly higher than those in patients with stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ(P

BACKGROUND:Studies have found that the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can promote bone and soft tissue injury repair, but its effect on the process of bone healing is stil controversial.
OBJECTIVE:To contrastively observe the osteogenesis effect of PRP/Bio-Oss/Bio-Gide in the repair process of alveolar bone defect in rabbits, so as to explore the role of PRP in bone healing.
METHODSixteen New Zealand white rabbits were used to establish animal models of critical-size alveolar bone defect. One side was damaged randomly and repaired by PRP/Bio-Oss/Bio-Gide as experimental side, and the other side repaired by Bio-Oss/Bio-Gide as control side. Four animals were executed at each time-point, postoperative weeks 2, 4, 8, 12. Through general observation, X-ray radiograph, Cone Beam CT assessment, histological examination, the osteogenesis effect in the defect region was qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:It could be know from each observation index that as time went on, the experimental and control sides had a different degree of new bone formation and the degradation-absorption of bone graft material. At 12 weeks, continuous cortical bone formation was seen on the surface of the experimental side, new bone formed and tended to be mature, obvious degradation of the bone graft was found, but those in the control side were not as good. At each time-point of 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks, the bone mineral density of the experimental side were lower than that of the control side (P<0.05), but the percentage of new bone area was larger than in the experimental side than the control side (P<0.05). These findings indicate that the PRP/Bio-Oss/Bio-Gide has a better osteogenesis effect than the Bio-Oss/Bio-Gide in the repair process of alveolar bone defect in rabbits, and PRP can promote new bone formation and degradation-absorption of Bio-Oss.

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of donor-Ag specific T cell vaccination on inducing specific immune tolerance of allogenic liver transplantation and the mechanism of immune privilege of liver transplantation .Methods:CBA mice were recipients,B6 mice were donors,T cell vaccination (TCV) were made from the attenuated spleen cells of CBA mice ,which were stimulated by Con A and were challenged with the spleen cells of B 6 mice.There are 3 groups in this experiment:Transplant control group:Orthotopic liver transplantation ( OLT) were performed with the recipients of CBA mice and donors of B 6 mice;Flt3-L treating group:OLT were performed with the recipients of CBA mice and donors of B 6 mice treated with Flt3-L;TCV group:OLT were performed with the recipients of CBA mice inoculated with TCV and donors of B 6 mice treated with Flt3-L.Median survival time (MST) of liver grafts was recorded, IL-4, IL-10 and IFN-γin peripheral blood were tested after transplantation in each group .One-way mixed lymphocyte reaction ( MLR) were carried out with effectors of spleen cells from CBA mice and stimulator of spleen cells from B 6 mice at the 5th day after transplantation.The apoptosis of liver graft infiltrating cells (GICs) were analyzed by flow cytometric analysis at the 5th day after transplantation.Results: Flt3-L treating donor activated allogenic acute rejecting reaction , TCV vaccinating recipient before and after transplantation significantly depressed the acute immune rejecting reaction mediated by Flt 3-L.The liver grafts were accepted by recipient without the presence of Flt 3-L.The cytokines test show that the serum value of IL-4 and IL-10 were increased in Transplant control group and TCV group ,but decreased in Flt3-L treating group.The value of IFN-γwas increased in Flt3-L treating.
