Objective To study the normal angiographic anatomy and variations of rabbit hepatic vessels,and explore the optimal method for hepatic artery catheterization.Methods 30 rabbits were divided into two groups randomly.Modified surgical method and interventional method were used to catheterize hepatic artery respectively,and followed by angiography to demonstrate the normal anatomy and variations of rabbit celiac artery,hepatic artery and portal vein.Results The route and distribution of rabbit celiac artery and hepatic artery were very different from human's.The commonly seen variation showed the differences in branching bifurcation of hepatic-gastric artery,with the incidence of 13.3%.The rates of successfully hepatic artery catheterization with surgical and interventional methods were 86.6%(13/15)and 80%(12/15)respectively (P>0.05).The surgical method will not be successful,whenever there's variation.Conclusion The normal anatomy and variation of rabbit celiac artery and hepatic artery are quite different from human's.Both surgical and interventional catheterizations could be rather successful but possessing advantages and disadvantages of each its own.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of five-year trail of entecavir for chronic hepatitis B patients failed with lamivudine therapy in the Chongqing area.
METHODS32 patients failed with lamivudine therapy were enrolled in this study. In the double-blind phase, patients were randomly divided into entecavir 1.0 mg/d group (n = 28) and placebo group(n = 4) for 12 weeks. In the open-lable phase, patients received ETV 1.0 mg/d for 240 weeks. HBV DNA level, liver function, HBV serology were observed.
RESULTSThe mean reduction in HBV DNA level at week 12 was 4.05 log10 copies/ml in ETV group, and 0.08 log10 copies/ml in placebo group (P less than 0.05). The mean of HBV DNA level after 240 weeks of ETV treatment was decreased to 2.58 log10 copies/ml. The proportion of patients with HBV DNA less than 3 log10 copies/ml was 0, 6.25%, 15.6% , 50%, and 57.14% at 0, 8, 24, 96 and 240 weeks respectivfely. There were 2 patients with HBsAg seroconversion and 4 patients with HBeAg seroconversion at the end of the study. The ALT level returned to normal at week 12 and remained normal throughout the following 240 weeks. One patient had a severe adverse event during the trail.
CONCLUSIONEntecavir is effective and safe for the chronic hepatitis B patients failed with lamivudine therapy.

Objective This study was to investigate the role of lactoferrin and C-reactive protein (CRP)assay in ascitic fluid for diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP)in the patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.Methods Ascites was collected from the inpatients with decompensated liver cirrhosis before and after treatment from May to December 2011 for anal-ysis of polymorphonuclear cells (PMN)and bacterial culture.The level of lactoferrin and C-reactive protein in the ascites were determined.Results A total of 117 ascites samples were collected from 66 patients.Twenty-six patients met the criteria of SBP with PMN ≥ 250×106/L in ascites,were assigned to SBP group.Of these patients,11 presented with fever 37.3℃ to 38℃, and 11 patients had elevated peripheral blood white cell count > 10 × 109/L.Eleven patients had neutrophil cell percentage >0.75.Only 8 patients in this group had positive bacterial culture.Another 12 patients met the criteria of suspected SBP,and assigned to suspected SBP group.The remaining 28 patients did not satisfy the criteria of SBP,and assigned to non-SBP group.The pretreatment lactoferrin level was (768.46 ± 611 .70)ng/mL and (98.28 ± 56.81 )ng/mL in SBP and non-SBP group,respectively.The pretreatment CRP level was (9.397 ±3.737 )mg/L and (1 .786 ±0.52 )mg/L in SBP and non-SBP group,respectively.The lactoferrin and CRP levels decreased sharply after antibacterial and support-ive treatment in SBP group,which were 657.05 ng/mL and 8.13 mg/L,respectively.The cut-off value of lactoferrin for diagnosis of SBP was 233 ng/mL with sensitivity 96.2% and spe-cificity 97.5%.The cut-off value of CRP for diagnosis of SBP was 4.390 mg/L with sensitivity 92.3% and specificity 92.5%. However,lactoferrin combined with CRP had a sensitivity of 99.70% and specificity of 90.18% for diagnosis of SBP.Conclu-sions Lactoferrin and CRP levels in the ascites of patients with liver cirrhosis are useful for diagnosis of SBP with high specifici-ty and sensitivity.

ObjectiveThe clinical features, bacteria distribution and antibiotic resistance proifle of blood stream infection(BSI) were investigated in the patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis for better management of such infections.MethodsThe clinical data of BSI were collected in the patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis between January, 2012 and December, 2014, and reviewed retrospectively in terms of risk factors, diagnosis and treatment, pathogen distribution and prognosis.ResultsOf the 1 071 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and suspected bacterial infection, 154 (14.4%) were diagnosed as BSI evidenced by blood culture. Of these patients, the leukocyte count in the peripheral blood was higher than 10×109/L in only 48 (31.2%) patients; neutrophil proportion>0.75 in 133 patients (86.4%); serum procalcitonin level>0.5 ng/mL in 74 patients (68.5%). A total of 155 bacterial strains were isolated, including 115 strains of gram-negative bacilli and 40 strains of gram-positive cocci. Most patients (68.8%) recovered and 31.2% died or discharged from hospital voluntarily. All these BSI patients had Child-Pugh grade C liver function. Some patients also had other serious systemic diseases or repeated hospitalization.ConclusionThe prevalence of BSI is high in the decompensated liver cirrhosis patients with poor prognosis. Gram-negative bacilli are the major pathogens of such septicemia. Early diagnosis and proper use of antibiotics based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing are important to improve patient outcome.

Medical ethics is correlated with further development of affiliated teaching hospital.Our hospital took ‘ Bethune spirit’ and philosophy of forgiveness and kindheartedness as guidance and became the first batch of Bethune spirit model hospital of Chongqing.Teaching quality was improved by providing lectures about ‘ Bethune spirit’ for medical students and equally emphasizing medical knowledge and medical ethics education.Anti-corruption and academy governing movements with the subject of ‘ Bethune spirit’ were carried out to repel academic misdeed,with the result that clinical,teaching and scientific works were promoted and advanced.

Medical science has both the characteristics of natural science and humanities.Modem medical education pays more attention to the close association between professional education and humanistic education.How to handle the relationship between infectious disease and humanistic education has become more and more important.In current study,integrating humanistic education in clinical infectious disease teaching not only improved infectious disease teaching effect but also established good medical ethics and increased the comprehensively quality.
10.Research progress of anemia associated with inflammatory bowel diseases.
Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2012;15(6):644-647
Anemia is a frequent and serious complication in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). One third of patients with inflammatory bowel disease suffers from recurrent anemia. Anemia is associated with a decrease in the quality of life and an increased rate of hospitalization. A number of studies have been conducted and the most relevant conclusions obtained are:(1)anemia is quite common in IBD; (2)although in many cases anemia parallels the clinical activity of the disease, many patients in remission have anemia, and iron, vitamin B12 and/or folic acid deficiency;(3)anemia, and also iron deficiency without anemia, have important consequences in the clinical status and quality of life of the patients;(4)oral iron supplement is limited by poor absorption, intolerance, and induction of oxidative stress at the site of bowel inflammation; (5) intravenous iron sucrose has a high efficiency and a significant improvement in the quality of life; (6)erythropoietin is needed in a significant number of cases to achieve normal hemoglobin levels. Combination therapy with erythropoietin leads to a faster and larger hemoglobin increase. Thus, clinicians caring for IBD patients should have a comprehensive knowledge of anemia, and apply recently published guidelines in clinical practice.
