Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy under selective hemihepatic inflow occlusion.Methods In performing this procedure,first dissect the right hepatic portal,and under selective hemihepatic inflow occlusion,laparoscopie Peng's multifunctional operative dissector (LPMOD) was used to transect the hepatic parenchyma by stepwise curettage and aspiration.Results Procedures were successful in all six patients of benign liver diseases,though a small subcostal auxiliary incision was needed in one case to control the middle hepatic vein branch hemorrhage.Operation time was 300-540 min[mean,( 399 ± 75 ) min].The time of hepatic portal dissect was 30-75 min[mean,(51 ± 16) min].The time of liver parenchyma transection was 60-160 min[mean,( 116 ± 32) min].Intraoperative blood loss was 600-3000 ml[mean,( 1486 ± 809 ) ml].The level of ALT increased to (302-557) U/L[mean,(386 ± 85 ) U/L]after the operation,and back to normal level in 5-11 d[mean,( 7.1 ± 2.0) d].The postoperative hospital stay was 10-18 d[mean,( 12.4 ± 2.6 ) d].No severe complication occurred after the operation.Conclusions Laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy under selective hemihepatic inflow occlusion is safe and feasible.

Seen from the development of the treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),although great progress has been made on the optimization of the treatment,the patients' overall survival (OS) has not been greatly improved compared with other tumors of digestive system such as colorectal cancer.That is mainly because of the early microvascular invasion (MIV) and portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) which are among the most important reasons for poor prognosis in HCC.Thus we overviewed the recent research findings on the treatment of HCC with PVTT,which might help the clinicians select the optimal therapeutic strategy.

Objective To explore the effects of salmeterol/fluticasone propionate complicated or combined with N-acetylcysteine on the pulmonary function and arterial blood gas analysis of the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to evaluate its curative effect.Methods 84 cases of COPD patients were randomly divided into combination treatment group (n=44)and simple treatment group (n=40).The patients in combination treatment group were treated with salmeterol/fluticasone propionate combinated with N-acetylcysteine while the patients in simple treatment group were treated only with salmeterol/fluticasone propionate, both of which were followed up for 6 months.The changes of pulmonary function (FEV1%FVC,FEV1%Pred,PEF daily variation rate:ΔPEF%)and the arterial blood gas analysis indexes (PaO2 and PaCO2 )of the patients in two groups were recorded before treatment, 3 months after treatment, and 6 months after treatment. Results The FEV1%FVC,FEV1%Pred and PaO2 of the patients in combination treatment group and simple treatment group were obviously increased 3 and 6 months after treatment compared with before treatment (P<0.01 ), and the PaCO2 were obviously decreased (P<0.01).And there were significant differences of the indexes mentioned above of the patients between two groups (P<0.05 );but the indexes of each group had no significant differences between 3 months and 6 months after treatment (P>0.05).TheΔPEF% of the patients in two groups had no significant differences between inter-group and intra-group before and after treatment (P > 0.05 ). Conclusion Combination of salmeterol/fluticasone propionate and N-acetylcysteine can obviously improve the pulmonary function and arterial blood gas analysis indexes of the COPD patients, which is superior to the simple application of salmeterol/fluticasone propionate and has definite and lasting curative effect on the treatment of COPD.

Objective To explore whether acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) could be alleviated by syngeneic bone marrow mixed with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G CSF) mobilized H 2 haploidentical marrow grafting. Methods Female BALB/c and neonatal BALB/c mice were recipients and male (BALB/c?C 57 BL/6) F 1 (BCF 1) mice were donor mice respectively. Donor mice were injected subcutaneously with G CSF daily at 0.01 ?g/g body weight or saline for 6 days, and splenocytes were harvested on day 6. Spleen index(SI) represented GVHD in neonatal mice after the intraperitoneal injection of mixed spleen cells.Lethally irradiated ( 60 Co, 8.5 Gy) adult mice were transplanted with a mixture of syngenetic plus G CSF mobilized (control diluents) H 2 haploidentical marrow cells.Survival time and survival rate of the recipients were observed after mixed marrow transplantation (MBMT). GVHD was assessed by observing signs of weight loss, ruffled fur, diarrhea and histological change of skin, liver and small intestines. Enzyme linked immunosorbemt assay (ELISA) method was used to detect cytokines (IL 2, IL 4, IFN ?). Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis was used to detect T cell phenotype. Results (1) The neonatal mice subject to injection of 2∶1 and 1∶1 mixed spleen cells and H 2 haploidentical spleen cells all suffered from aGVHD. The severity of aGVHD in recipient mice receiving G CSF mobilized splenocytes was dramatically reduced. (2) The aGVHD signs and histological change were observed in most mice of 2∶1 and 1∶1 MBMT groups. However, the survival time of G CSF mobilized MBMT groups was longer than in control groups ( P

To compare the differences between Hengshanhuangqi (HH) and Chuanhuangqi (CH) at molecular level, 1H NMR based plant metabolomics approach was used to reveal the chemical difference between HH and CH. Then, the contents of astragaloside IV and calycosin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, the marker compounds specified in China Pharmacopoeia, were determined. In addition, the ITS2 fragments of HH and CH were sequenced. Twenty-three metabolites were identified in the 1H NMR spectrum, and the principal component analysis showed CH and HH could be separated clearly. HH contained more aspartic acid, GABA, citric acid, astragaloside IV and calycosin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, while CH contained more threonine, alanine, acetic acid, choline, arginine, fructose and sucrose. And the astragaloside IV is almost undetectable in CH. In addition, the ITS2 fragment sequences of HH and CH were different at eight bases. Thus, the HH and CH showed significant differences chemically and genetically.

Objective To study the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy using the Glissonian pedicel approach.Methods The root of the round ligament of the liver was exposed and the Glissonian pedicel of the left lateral section was dissected,starting from left and using the lapa roscopic Peng's multifunctional operative dissector (LPMOD).After the Glissonian pedicel of segment Ⅱ and Ⅲ was dissected,clipped and cut,the ischemic boundary showed up.The liver was transected at the boundary of the ischemic liver,and the left hepatic vein and its branches were cut. Resutts The surgery was successtully performed in 8 patients.There was no conversion to open operation.The operative time was 110- 190 (151.0±35.4) min.The time of Glissonian pedicel dissection and liver resection was 70- 135 (101.0±24.1) min.Operative blood loss was 100-300(210.0± 89.4) ml.The ALT increased by 35- 102 (75.4± 26.5) U/L after operation and decreased to a normal level in 2-6 (3.0± 1.7) d.The postoperative hospital stay was 6-10 (8.2± 1.6) d.There was no major complication.Conclusion Laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy using the Glissonian pedicel approach is safe and feasible.

Objective To investigate the changing pattern of diagnosis of infantile cholestasis after screening the inherited metabolic diseases in infants with cholestasis. Methods Infants under 12 months with cholestasis were identified retrospectively from hospital records from Jan. 1996 to Dec. 2007. The data were retrieved from the medical records and analyzed by focusing particularly on the changing etiology of cholestasis and inherited metabolic diseases in these infants after performing routine screening and diagnostic procedures. Results Among 421 infants identified as having cholestasis during 12-years study period, the common causes of infantile cholestasis were cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection (36. 11% ), bile duct hypoplasia or congenital biliary atresia (31.59%), metabolic disease (8.08%), miscellaneous (10.69%), and unknown ( 13.54% ). The proportion of infants with metabolic diseases after screening increased 16 folds compared with before screening( 15.76% vs 0. 92% ,P<0. 01 ), whereas the proportion of infants with unknown cause decreased from 17.43% to 9.36% (P<0.05). There was no significant change in the proportions of CMV infection, congenital biliary atresia, and miscellaneous causes. The major metabolic diseases of 34 infants included citrin deficiency (41. 18% ) and tyrosinemia (23.53%), followed by galactosemia and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (8. 82% )etc. Conclusions Inherited metabolic disease has become an important cause of infantile cholestasis, which is mainly due to citrin deficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to set a routing screening of citrin deficiency in infants with cholestasis.

Objective:To analyze the genetic characteristics of Brucella strains isolated from a human brucellosis epidemic in Baoding City of Hebei Province, and to provide scientific basis for control and prevention of brucellosis. Methods:Brucella antibody was detected in a high-risk population ( n=22) of brucellosis in Baoding City in 2018 by using rose bengal plate test and tube agglutination test. Blood samples of patients with brucellosis were collected for Brucella isolation ( n=3). Conventional methods were used to identify the bacteria strains. Multiple locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) were used to analyze the genetic characteristics of the strains. Results:The sero-prevalence of Brucella antibodies in high-risk populations was 4.55% (1/22). Three suspected Brucella strains were isolated from blood samples of three patients (No. BDY-1, BDY-2 and BDY-3) and were identified as Brucella melitensis biovar 3. The results of MLVA showed that strain BDY-1 and strain BDY-2 were the same genotype. Strain BDY-3 added two tandem repeats at the locus of Bruce04 and Bruce16, respectively, and lost three tandem repeats at the locus of Bruce30. The genotype of panel 1 (MLVA-8) and panel 1 + panel 2A (MLVA-11) were 42 and 116, respectively, which belonged to the "East Mediterranean group". They were closely clustered with Brucella melitensis biovar 3. MLST analysis showed that all isolated strains could be classified into a ST8 type. Conclusions:The isolated strains from the epidemic are Brucella melitensis biovar 3. In the future, the prevention and control of brucellosis in Baoding City should strengthen the health education and behavior intervention of the high-risk population.

Objective:To investigate the cognitive status of the elderly in rural areas and explore the characteristics and influencing factors of subjective cognitive decline (SCD).Methods:A baseline survey was conducted among 5 765 rural elderly people aged 60 years old or above from March to September 2018.Subjective cognitive decline questionnaire(SCD-Q9), mini-mental state examination(MMSE), verbal fluency test (VFT), Chinese auditory verbal learning test (CAVLT), digital span test(DST)and activities of daily living(ADL)were used in the survey.The result of the survey indicated that there were 2 654 subjects with SCD (SCD group) and 1 008 subjects with normal cognitive function (NC group). Social support rating scale (SSRS) and short version of geriatric depression scale-15(GDS-15) were used to evaluate their psychosocial status.Descriptive analysis and Logistic regression analysis were conducted by SPSS 26.0 software.Results:(1) Compared with NC group, the SCD group had the following characteristics: delayed recognition rate(8.25 ±2.51), (12.38 ±2.53), reverse digit span (2.63±1.37), (3.69±1.45), social support (69.81±8.71), (64.40±9.44), GDS-15 (2.27±2.63), (1.31±2.17), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the following characteristics: MMSE score (21.62±5.73), (21.47±5.84), speech fluency (27.80±7.35), (28.25±7.56), ADL score (20.70±1.35), (20.77±1.30), all P>0.05.(2) There were no significant differences in diet structure, blood glucose, blood lipid, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, epilepsy and coronary heart disease between SCD group and NC group (all P>0.05). (3)SCD was mainly affected by age( β=0.06, OR=2.29, 95% CI=1.09-4.85), depression( β=-0.01, OR=2.96, 95% CI=0.68-4.94), hypertension( β=-0.17, OR=1.89, 95% CI=1.11-2.15), and low level of social support( β=2.07, OR=1.49, 95% CI=1.32-2.12) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The scores of delayed recognition and reverse digit span in patients with SCD are lower than those with normal cognitive function.The other objective cognitive functions are basically normal.Old age, low social support level, depression, low education level and hypertension are the risk factors of SCD.
