An innovative approach,named associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS),has made possible a marked increase in future liver remnant (FLR) over a short period of time,and has challenged the concept of unresectability.To date,ALPPS has been employed for a variety of primary and metastatic liver tumors from many centers across the world.Many technical variations of ALPPS have been described.However,much controversy has surrounded this procedure,and many problems remain to be solved,such as the reasons for rapid hypertrophy,the technical feasibility,safety and long-term oncologic outcomes,and the result compared with the conventional two-stage hepatectomy.These aspects are needed to be evaluated further in large-scale studies.We believe that the ALPPS procedure will has much room for further development.

Objective To explore the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor function in cerebral palsy children with epilepsy. Methods 270 cerebral palsy children with epilepsy hospitalized from February, 2011 to September, 2014 were ran-domized to control group (n=130) and treatment group (n=140). The control group received comprehensive rehabilitation, including mas-sage, exercise, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech training, cognitive function training and medication, and the treatment group re-ceived rTMS in addition. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) and Peabody Developmental Measure Scale-Gross Motor (PDMS-GM) before, and 1 and 2 months after treatment. Results The total scores of GMFM-88 and PDMS-GM in-creased more in the treatment group than in the control group (F>93.9, P<0.001). Conclusion rTMS can further improve the motor function in cerebral palsy children with epilepsy.

p53,the widely studied tumor suppressor gene ,plays a key role in regulating cell cycle ,repai-ring DNA damages , eliminating free radicals and regulating immune responses and so on .The recent studies showed that p53 mutation was in close biological connections with the occurrence , development , infiltration and metastasis in over 50 percent digestive systemic malignant tumors .In view of the current researches ,we review the biological features of p53,the relationship between p53 and digestive systemic malignant tumors ,and gene therapy of p53 to provide references for the pathogenesis ,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of digestive systemic malig-nant tumors in this paper .

【Objective】To establish a simple,rapid and practical method for the in-vitro isolation,purification and proliferation of rat marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs).【Methods】Rat MSCs were isolated and purified by differential adhesion method.The effects of conditioned medium on the morphologic characteristics and growth of rat MSCs were observed.【Results】Rat MSCs were effectively purified by differential adhesion method,and grew well with good proliferation and normal morphology in conditioned medium.【Conclusion】Differential adhesion method and conditioned medium are effective for the purification and culture of rat MSCs.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of nasal endoscopic treatment for refractory epistaxis. Methods .A retrospective analysis was made on 258 patients with refractory epistaxis treated with intranasal endoscopic exploration and hemostatic treatment from January 1998 to December 2004 in this hospital. Results .Hemorrhage was found on the nasal septum and the lateral nasal wall in 118 and 47 patients, respectively. Nose bleeding resulted from intranasal tumor in 8 patients. The site of bleeding was not clearly identified in 85 patients. Of the 258 patients, 257 responded to the treatment (99.6%) and 1 died ( 0.4%).Recurrent bleeding occurred in 43 patients. The incidence of recurrent bleeding was significantly higher in patients with unknown bleeding sites than in clearly diagnosed patients (?2=17.689,P=0.000). Conclusions .The emphasis of nasal endoscopic treatment for refractory epistaxis should be laid on the initial management, during which the bleeding site should be carefully identified. For patients with repeated nose bleeding, a combination treatment, including endoscopic filling-up of the anterior nasal cavity, endoscopic embolization of anterior and posterior nose, or embolization of the internal maxillary artery, is necessary.

Objective To assess the clinical use of anti-Parkinson's disease(PD)drugs in the patients with PD,and provide a basis to formulate an effective clinical drug program.Methods 190 PD patients were interviewed by questionnaires about resources,dosage and costs of anti-PD drugs from April,2004 to March,2005.Results By retrospective analysis,number of drugs used in per patient per year was 2.88;levodopa dosage and Levodopa Equivalents(LDE)per patient were 323.0 mg/d and 318.6 mg/d respectively,and LDE increased significantly following by scores of Hoehn-Yahr(H&Y)class increasing(P

Guinea pig, pigeon and toad are the vertebrates on different evolution level. The acid phosphatase content in the hepatocytes of centrilobular area and periportal area of hepatic lobules were quantitatively measured by microspectrophotometer and image analyser. The results showed that the content of acid phosphatase of hepatocytes was highest in guinea pig, lowest in pigeon, and toad in between the both. The average density of acid phosphatase distribution in the hepatocytes increases according to the evolution order. The significance of this phenomenon was discussed.

Objective To investigate the MR features of uterine leiomyomas and evaluate its diagnostic value. Methods Twenty six patients with probable uterine leiomyomas underwent preoperative ultrasound, T 1 weighted spin echo and T 2 weighted fast spin echo MR examinations. Among them, 11 cases were performed with dynamic contrast enhancement. Comparative analysis between MRI findings and pathologic results was done. Results MRI diagnosis in all cases was consistent with the results given by surgery and pathology, except 2 being pathologically proven as endometrial polyp or inflammatory pseudoplasma. The diagnostic accuracy of MRI was 92%, while the accuracy of ultrasound was 85%. The difference between the number of lesions detected by two modalities had statistical significance (89% for MRI vs 69% for ultrasound, ? 2=17.86, P
