Objective:To follow up the hepatitis B recurrence post liver transplantation using the combination of lamivu dine and high-dose intravenous/intramuscular hepatitis B immunoglobulin.Methods:Fifty-two consecutive patients who underwent liver transplantation were included in this analysis.All patients were administered lamivudine combined with hepatitis B immunoglobulin intravenous(V group)or intramuscular(M group)injection prophylaxis.Dosages of hepatitis B immunoglobulin were 4 000 U during anhepatic phase,2 000 U/d during the first six days after operation,2 000 U/week at 2-4 weeks after operation and 2 000 U/month at 2-6 months after operation.The dosages of hepatitis B immunoglobulin were decided by blood concentrations at 6 months after transplantation in both groups(HBsAb titer≥200 U/L during the 6-12 months after operation;100-200 U/L one year after operation).The negative-conversion rates of serum HBsAg,serum HBsAb levels and hepatitis B recurrence rate at the 6th month,1 year after transplantation and at the end of this study were investigated.Results:The daily average negative-conversion rate of serum HBsAg was significantly faster in V group than that of M group within the first 4 postoperative days(P ＜ 0.05).The 100% of serum HBsAg negative-conversion rate was obtained in two groups after one week of operation.No recurrence was found in two groups.And the ease of death was independent on HBV recurrent during the follow-up.Conclusion:Lamivudine combined with hepatitis B immunoglobulin intravenous/intramuscular injection prophylaxis was effective protocol for the hepatitis B recurrence after the liver transplantation.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of L-carnitine on serum total level of homocysteine (tHcy) in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. METHODS: 60 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were randomly divided into two groups (treatment group and control group): the patients in the treatment group were injected i.v. with 1.0 g of L-carnitine for 12 weeks,and those in the control group were injected i.v. with 5 mL normal saline for 12 weeks. Meanwhile,the healthy people were involved as normal control group(n=20). tHcy was detected by ELISA method;the fasting insulin was detected by radio-immunity method. Fasting blood glucose,total cholesterol,triglyeride,HDL and LDL were detected by routine method. The reciprocal of the multiplication product between fasting blood glucose and insulin concentration were computed as insulin sensitivity index(ISI). RESULTS: After treatment for 12 weeks,the treatment group showed increased ISI but significantly reduced tHcy(P

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether serum thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) levels are of value in predicting malignancy in patients with nodular thyroid disease. The relationship between TSH levels and thyroid cancer incidence was also investigated. METHOD: One hundred and eight patients with thyroid tumors who underwent surgical treatment were included in this study (25 cases of papillary thyroid cancer and 83 cases of benign tumors). The data of their preoperative serum TSH level, gender, age, number of tumors detected by ultrasonic inspection, and pathological type were retrospectively analyzed, and their association with thyroid cancer incidence was explored. Logistic regression analysis was used to predict thyroid cancer risk factors. RESULT: Patients with malignancy had a higher mean value of TSH than that of the patients with benignancy [(1.94±1.01)mlU/L vs (1.16± 0.85)mIU/L, respectively; P<0.05]. Compared with the patients below the population mean, patients above the population mean had a significantly higher malignancy rate (35.9% vs 15.9%, P<0.05). High serum TSH level (OR=10.913, P=0.001), male (OR=4. 845, P=0.028) and age ≥45 (OR=10.831, P=0.001) are independent risk factors of thyroid cancer. CONCLUSION The preoperative serum TSH level may be useful in predicting the probability of cancer. The high serum TSH level, male, age ≥45 are risk factors of thyroid cancer.

benign,of which,there were significan differences in PV and PE value between any two of the three lesions. There were significant differences in BV value only between benign and inflammatory pulmonary lesions(P0. 05). Conclusion CT perfusion imaging is of important value in differentiating inflammatory,malignant and benign masses of the lung and estimating the degree of malignancy of lung cancer.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Danshensu Capsules on platelet aggregation, experimental thrombosis and hemorrheology in rat. Methods : The effects of Danshensu Capsules were observed on platelet aggregation induced by ADP. Occlusive thrombotic time was determined by electrostimulating; “blood stasis” model was prepared by ice water stimulation and the main hemorheological indexes were detected. Results : Danshensu Capsules could greatly inhibit the platelet aggregation in rat induced by ADP and delay occlusive thrombosis time after electrostimulating rat common carotid artery as well as decrease whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, red-cell specific volume, red-cell electrophoresis time, yield stress and red-cell aggregation indexes in experimental rat with the blood stasis syndrone. The rat's hemorheological properties were improved. Conclusion : Danshensu Capsules could decrease obviously the blood state with “dense、viscosity、aggregation、coagulation” and have obvious actions of blood-activating and stasis-eliminating.

0.05).In the group with primary common bile duct suture,the occurrence of bile leakage was relative with hyperglycemia(P0.05).Conclusion It is the key factors,including chosing appropriate patients, intraoperative special examination, careful manipulation and effective medical treatment that can reduce the morbidity of bile leakage.

Objective To evaluate the method for vaginal treconstruction with muscle sparing verti-cle rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap(MS-VRAM flap). Methods From September 2006 to April 2008, MS-VRAM flaps were used for vaginal reconstruction in 9 patients (20 to 35 years old), ancl all ca-ses were congenital absence of vagina. Before operation, the inferior epigastrie arteries were detected by the Doppler and the flaps based on the perforators ranged from 6 cm×20 cm. MS-VRAM flaps were ele-vated and then transferred to reconstruct the vagina. Results All 9 cases of MS-VRAM flaps survived completely. No complications occurred at donor site of abdominal wall. With 2-12 months' follow-up, the patients were satisfied with the results. Conclusion Despite technical difficulties in elevating the MS-VRAM flap, the flap is a good choice for vaginal reconstruction.

Objective To explore the effect of early stage of comprehensive lung rehabilitation on cervical spinal cord injury in patients with mechanical ventilation.Methods The patients with cervical spinal cord injury admitted from January to December 2015 were selected as the control group which was treated with routine nursing measures.The patients with cervical spinal cord injury admitted from January to December 2016 were selected as the treatment group,which received early stage lung rehabilitation measures.We compared two groups of patients in the using time of breathing machine,the total length of hospital stay and pulmonary infection rate.Results The duration of mechanical ventilation and hospitalization days in the control group were(13.98±11.11),(25.10±16.98)d,which were higher than those in treatment group[(7.23±4.94),(16.26±6.41)d](P<0.05).The infection rates of control group and treatment group were 76.19％and 52.38％respectively,and the difference was significant(P<0.05).Conclusion In the early stages comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation measures for mechanical ventilation in patients with cervical spinal injury can shorten the breathing machine use time and the total hospitalization days,and reduce pulmonary infection rate.
