Objective To detect the levels of MBP and IL 16 in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) and serum, investigate the correlation between them and the role in multiple sclerosis attacking process.Methods The levels of MBP and IL 16 of cerebral fluid and serum of 31 patients with MS were detected by ELISA and compared with those of 24 cases of inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy or 22 cases of healthy persons.Results CSF and serum levels of MBP were found increaed significantly in MS patients compared with those in IDP and in healthy controls(HC)(all P 0.05).The concentrations of MBP in CSF of MS significantly correlated with that of IL 16 in CSF( r =0.468, P 0.05).The concentration of MBP in CSF of MS significantly correlated with CSF that in serum( r =0.505, P 0.05).Conclusion MBP is one of the autoantigens that induce MS,IL 16 may be mainly produced in CNS due to MBP stimulation; IL 16 may act within CNS.

Objective To investigate the practicability and safety of laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy.Method 40 patients with space occupying lesions in the liver underwent laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy between Jan.2008 and Mar.2012.The diagnoses were hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (n=13),recurrent HCC (n =1 ),cholangiocarcinoma ( n =1 ),metastatic cancer ( n=6),hepatolithiasis (n=10),hemangioma (n=7),FNH (n=1) and liver cell adenoma (n =1).Intraoperative ultrasound was routinely performed to locate lesions and intrahepatic structures.Selective hemihepatic vascular occlusion was applied during resection. High frequency cautery,CUSA and Ligasure were used to transect liver parenchyma. Hemolocks were applied when large blood vessels and bile ducts were encountered.Endo-GIA was used if necessary.The operations included right hemihepatectomy (n =3),left hemihepatectomy (n =10),resections of segment Ⅴ and Ⅵ (n=5),segment Ⅴ (n=3),segment Ⅵ (n =4),and segment Ⅳb (n =1).Result34 hepatectomics were performed laparoscopically.6 patients were converted to open surgery.There was no perioperative death. The operating time was 250.21±50.94 min,and intraoperative blood loss was 420.20± 120.10 ml.Bile leakage was diagnosed in 2 patients after operation.Conclusion With careful patient selection,and improvement in surgical technique and apparatus,laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy has become safe and practicable.The operation has the advantages of minimal invasion and rapid recovery. It can be regarded as a standard procedure for selected benign and malignant lesions.

Objective To build three-dimensional (3-D) finite element models for local advancement skin flap, by which the post-operative local strain and local stress of skin were figured out to assist in the design of skin flap in clinic. Methods The biomechanical parameters of human forehead skin were obtained in vitro from biomechanical experiments. The 3-D finite element model of local advancement skin flap was set up by MSC Marc/Mentat 2005 (3-D finite element software). Six models were built with the same flap but different skin defects, to simulate post-operative local strain of skin and local stress of skin in different models. Results Post-operative local stress of skin increased with the skin flaps stretching, but the relationship between increase and stretching did not meet the linear rule. Skin flap was able to stretch to 40 % of its initial length in theory if we did not consider blood supply of it. When the skin flap stretched over 40 % of its initial length, the maximal stress could exceed the yield limit. Conclusion It is an effective and workable way to simulate local advancement skin flap using 3-Dfinite element model and biomechanical parameters of human skin. The stretch ratio of local advancement skin flap should be not over 40% for safety.

Objective To sum up clinical experience on subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) for the treatment of severe chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) of the lower extremities. Methods Fifty-one patients (64 limbs) with severe CVI received SEPS from Nov. 1999 to Aug.2002. CEAP classification, scoring of venous dysfunction (SVD), Color Doppler, Color Doppler velocity profile (CDVP), venography and air plethysmography (APG) were applied to assess the status of the affected limbs before and after operation. Results The postoperative follow-up was made from 3 to 35 months with the follow-up rate of 90.6% (58/64 limbs). No limbs suffered from recurrent superficial varicose. Venous ulcer was healed in 40 limbs (97.6%) and the ulcer ameliorated significantly in one limb. Ulcer healing time ranged from 9 to 91 days with the average time of (32?5) days. The average SVD was (13.9?1.7) preoperatively , while (6.4?0.8)postoperatively ( P

Objective To investigate the safety and long-term therapeutic results of anatomical hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods 90 patients underwent anatomical hepatectomy from January,2003 to January,2010.The tumor size was ≤5 cm in 38 patients,and ＞5 cm in 52 patients.The tumor number was a single lesion in 58 patients,and multiple lesions in 32 patients.Cirrhosis was present in 46 patients (55.42％); cancer embolus was present in 34 patients (37.78％).There were 64 patients in Child-Pugh A and 26 patients in B.The operating time,blood loss and blood transfusion were recorded and analyzed.Complications and liver function were monitored after surgery.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival rates.Log-rank test was used to analyze factors associating with postoperative recurrence.Independent factors influencing tumor-free survival and overall survival were analyzed by Cox-model logistic regression.Result There was no perioperative death.The incidence of complications was 31.1％ (28/90).The recurrence rate was 51.1％ (46/90).The 1-,3-,5 year tumor-free survivals were 92.2％,67.3％ and 49.7％％00,respectively.Positive resection margin and satellite nodule were independent factors for recurrence (RR19.22,95 ％ confidence interval 5.85～63.17).The 1-,3-,5-year overall survivals were 94.4％,80.0％ and 60.0％,respectively.Positive resection margin and TNM were independent factors for overall survival (RR 2.013,95％ confidence interval 1.28～3.17).Conclusions Anatomical hepatectomy was a safe and efficacious procedure to treat HCC.Positive resection margin and TNM were independent factors associated with overall survival.Anatomical hepatectomy had the advantages in ensuring a lower rate of negative resection margin.

Objective:To observe the role of lamividine and silymarin preventing and curing liver fibrosisrelevant factors induced by alcohol drinking in hepatitis B virus (HBV) transgenic mice (Tg mice).Methods:Forty HBV-Tg BALB/C mice with 1.3 copy were randomly divided into 4 groups:a control group,a model group,a lamivudine group and a silymarin group.Tg mice in control group were treated with normal saline via intragastric administration;Tg-mice in the model group were treated with 50％ alcohol (5 mL/kg) once a day via intragastric administration;while Tg-mice in lamivudine group and silymarin group were treated with alcohol (5 mL/kg) plus laminvudine (100 mg/kg) and silymarin (200 mg/kg) once a day via intragastric administration respectively.All groups were raised for 10 weeks.The levels of HBV-DNA copy number,ALT,AST in serum,the degree of inflammation,the degree of fibrosis,the mRNA expression levels of TGF-β 1,Smad3,Smad7 and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF),and the protein expression levels of TGF-β1,CTGF and α-SMA in liver tissue were detected.All the images were scanned with electronic computer and the data were analyzed with SPSS13.0 software.Results:Compared with the control group,liver injury were significantly aggravated,while HBVDNA copies,mRNA levels ofTGF-β1,Smad3,Smad7 and CTGF as well as the protein levels of TGF-β1,CTGF and α-SMA were significantly increased (P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,liver injury were significantly attenuated in silymarine group and lamivudine group,while mRNA levels of TGF-β 1,Smad3 and CTGF as well as the protein levels of TGF-β1,CTGF and α-SMA were significantly decreased;mRNA level of Smad7 was further increased (P＜0.05);the levels of ALT and AST in serum were decreased in the silymarine group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Lamivudine and silymarin relieve the histological damage in the liver of alcohol-fed Tg mice.The mechanisms for the beneficial effects of lamivudine or silymarin might be related to inhibiting the expression of TGF-β 1,Smad3 and CTGF,modulating the expression of Smads and suppressing the activation of HSC.

Objective To assess the role of superficial vein and calf perforating vein in chronic venous insufficiency of lower limbs. Methods Consecutive seventy-five cases (78 limbs) of slight PDVI ( I? -Ⅱ?) were evaluated. Venous hemodynamics were detected by color duplex, color Doppler velocity profile technology and APG preoperatively, in the first month, the third month and the first year postoperatively. Data were statistically analyzed. Results Symptoms and signs disappeared in 88. 5% (69/78) limbs. The ulcer-healing rate was 92. 8% ( 13/14). The postoperative VFI at each check-point significantly decreased than that before operation (P0.01). Conclusions Superficial venous reflux can be effectively broken up by the operations. Venous stasis on calf effectively decreased by subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS). But neither of the two procedures greatly improve the hemodynamic status of deep vein.
