Objective To study the feasibility and the efficacy of total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) under two laparoscopes.Methods Clinical data of 51 patients with inguinal hernia who underwent TEP under two laparoscopes from July 2015 to March 2016 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.During TEP,we added a 5-mm laparoscope for monitoring and exploration in the abdominal cavity.Results All the operations of TEP under two laparoscopes were successful.The operation time lasted 42-176 min with a mean of (74 ±27) min.The intraoperative blood loss was 5-30 ml with a mean of (12.8 ±5.9) ml.The length of postoperative hospital stay was 2-7 days with a mean of (4.0 ± 1.1) days.The percentage of postoperative complications was 11.8％ (6/51),including inguinal area seroma which accounted for 2.0％ (1/51),inguinal region pain accounting for 3.9％ (2/51),and postoperative urinary retention for 5.9％ (3/51).No infection was found.The follow-up period ranged from 3 to 11 months (mean,7 months),no recurrence was observed during this period.Conclusions TEP under two laparoscopes can treat inguinal hernia precisely.It is also helpful to find compound inguinal hernia and occult inguinal hernia.

PBL ( Problem-based learning) is a problem-based and student-centered learning pattern.PBL teaching method has been applied to evidence-based medicine ( EBM ) courses for international students.By this method,the students' learning enthusiasm was stimulated,the ability of ananlyzing and resolving problem was improved,and good teaching effect was achieved,which provided knowledge to improve further EBM teaching and evidence-based clinical practice.

Purpose:To study clinical and pathological features of solid-pseudopapillary tumor(SPT) of the pancreas. Methods:The clinical data were reviewed in four patients with SPT. Immunohistochemistry for Vim, CK8, CK18, Chromogranin, Sy, AAT, NSE, S-100 was performed in all four cases using EnVision. Results:All four patients were female. The mean age was 30 years. The tumors were composed of papillary and solid structures. The uniform cells were strongly diffuse positive for Vim, and strongly positive for focal AAT in four cases. Three cases were positive for NSE. All four cases were negative for Sy , Chromogranin and S-100. One case was poorly positive for CK8 and CK18. Conclusions:SPT of the pancreas, preferentially in young women, is a tumor with low malignant potential. Immunohistochemistry is very important in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of SPT of the pancreas..

Schwann cells (SCs) have potently neuroprotective and myelinization abilities. They are one of the earliest and the most frequently used cells that are applied to therapeutic studies in spinal cord injury. At present, SCs are usually used as a platform for therapeutic alliance to integrate various interventions. This review will mainly discuss the issues met in therapeutic alliances with SCs for spinal cord injuries, results of various therapeutic alliances with SCs, positive effects of co-transplantation with SCs on neural stem cells, survival, migration of SCs after transplantation and roles of endogenetic SCs in repairing spinal cord injury.

Objective To detect the mutation of STK11 in a family with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and harmatoma polypus of all the patients,and 9 exons and noncoding regions of STK11 were amplified by PCR.Cycle sequencing was used to analysis the DNA sequence,and western blot was used to detected the mutational STK11 protein in the harmatoma polypus.Results The 21th codon CAG in exon 5 of STK11 gene transformed to TAG in all the patients,which translated into a truncated STK11 protein.Conclusion This novel mutation is the pathogeny of PJS in this family,which could be an indicator for the diagnosis of PJS in this family.And it may lead to a higher risk of cancer in patients.

Objective: To study the effects of chromium on glucose and lipid metabolism and gene expression in diabetic rats.Methods: Male Wistar rats were assigned to three groups:normal control(NC), alloxan-induced diabetic control group(DM), and DM with chromium supplementation group(DM+Cr). Cr 200 ?g/(kg bw?d) was supplemented orally for 60 days. At the end of the treatment, the blood glucose, lipid and serum insulin were measured, and the changes in gene expression among three groups were studied by mRNA differential display technique.Results: Blood glucose in DM+Cr group decreased significantly than that before experiment. The levels of serum TG, TC, LDL-C and AI in DM+Cr group were lower than those of DM group, while the serum HDL-C levels were higher. Serum insulin was not improved obviously in DM+Cr group. 11 cDNA fragments larger than 400 bp expressed differences in skeletal muscles between DM+Cr group and DM group and were isolated, 4 of which expressed higher in DM+Cr group, while the rest expressed higher in DM group.Conclusion: Chromium supplementation could partially improve the disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism, and have an impact on some gene expression in diabetic rats, which may contribute to the regulating effects on its disorders of metabolism.

AIM： To investigate the tumorigenicity of lung cancer by learning the accumulation of p53 and the exposure of cytokeratin 18 neo-epitope(CK-18neo) related to the clinicopathological parameters in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). METHODS: To detect the monoclonal antibodies of p53 and M30 CytoDEATH(specific antibody for CK-18neo) in 62 cases of NSCLC (included 29 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 33 cases of adenocarcinoma) and 10 cases of control group by adopting immunohistochemistry assay (LSAB). Moreover, the immunoreactivity of p53 was quantitatively evaluated with positive unit (PU). RESULTS: (1) p53 immunoreactivity was positive in 15 of 29 squamous cell carcinoma (51.72%), 15 of 33 adenocarcinoma (45.45%), 30 of 62 NSCLC (48.39%). In 10 control cases was negative. There were significant differences between these groups (P＜0.01). (2)In 62 cases of NSCLC, AI% of M30 is 1.10%, and in 29 cases of squamous cell carcinoma is 0.95%, and in 33 cases of adenocarcinoma is 1.24%. In 10 control cases, the AI% is 1.06%. There is not significant difference among these groups . (3) According to the results of Pearson's correlation analysis, we found positive linear correlation between the immunoreactivity of p53（-/+）, p53（5 degrees）and p53（PU）(P＜0.01). CONCLUSION: Our results suggested that the pathogenesis of NSCLC might be related to the mutation of gene p53 and cell excessive proliferation and insufficient apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the association of thyroid carcinoma and urine iodine level in Urumqi region,intent to provide the evidence of individual iodine supplement of this region.Methods In this case-control study,there were 100 patients with thyroid carcinoma and 300 patients with normal thyroid function as the control group in Xinjiang Tumor Hospital between February 2012 and December 2012 as the case group.All the cases were detected for urine iodine concentration by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry.Results The mean level of urinary iodine in the case group (272.69 μg/L) was higher than that in the control group (161.40 μg/L) (P ＜ 0.05).The level of iodine was excessive (urinary iodine ＞ 300 μg/L) in 34 ％ (34/100) patients in the case group and 10 ％ (30/300) patients in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The average urinary iodine content of the thyroid carcinoma in Urmuqi region are generally higher than that of the healthy control group,which indicates that the iodine nutritional status in patients with thyroid carcinoma are better than that in the general population.The relationship between thyroid carcinoma and excessive iodine intake should be necessary for further study.
