With the wide application of liver transplantation techniques,rapid development of digital imaging medicine and continuous update of surgical implements,the theory of precision hepatectomy still keeps optimizing.Precision hepatectomy is not a surgical implement or surgical technique,but a concept of liver surgery emphasizing less bleeding,minimal invasion,fast recovery and long-term curative effect,which is updating and improving with the development of modern science.Much less intraoperative bleeding,shorter operation time,better postoperative recovery and long-term survival should be the chief pursuit and principle of precision hepatectomy.

The skin organ model can be cultrured in ways of organ culture and organotypic raft culture It can be used in skin transplantation,pharmacy or investigate the mechanism of pigmentation. Though there are many ways in culturing skin organ model,how to further improve technology to produce more similar to human's skin organ,and put it in treating dermatosis still needs further exploring. The model of skin organ provides a good platform for new drug development,toxicology experiment and physiological function research. Some tissues engineering skin products have been approved by Food and Drug Administration in America for clinical use. It is believed that following the development of tissue engineering and relative subjects,skin organ culture model in vitro will become one of the effective means on dermatosis study.

Background choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the common reason of visual acuity impairment in high myopia patients,which usually leads to irreversible central visual impairment.Objective This study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of conbercept intravitreal injection for CNV in high myopia.Methods Fifteen high myopia patients with macular CNV diagnosed by OCT and fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) from July 2014 to July 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were performed with intravitreal injection of conbercept 0.5 mg (0.05 ml).The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) were examined 1 day,l week,4,8 and 12 weeks after injection.The ocular and systemic complications relating to drug were also observed.Results Fifteen eyes of 15 patients totally received 45 times of conbercept intravitreal injection.Among the total,1 eye only received 1 time of treatment,2 eyes received 2 times of treatment,12 eyes received 3 times of treatment and 1 eye received 4 times of treatments.After 12 weeks of treatment,FFA showed that fluorescein leakage disappeared in 10 eyes;fluorescein leakage area decreased in 4 eyes;fluorescein leakage was continued in 1 eye.The BCVA before treatment and at 4,8 and 12 weeks after treatment were 0.61 ±0.46,0.60±0.43,0.41±0.53 and 0.41±0.51,with significant difference among them (F=7.862,P＜0.001).The CMT before treatment and at 4,8 and 12 weeks after treatment were (280.33±14.40),(269.00±10.10),(261.93±7.80) and (259.53±6.30) μm respectively,with significant difference among them (F =32.520,P＜0.001).None of the patients conducted anterior chamber puncture because of elevated intraocular pressure,and no intraocular inflammation,vitreous hemorrhage,retinal detachment and cardiovascular disease or other serious complications occurred.Conclusions Intravitreal injection of conbercept can relieve macular edema and improve the vision.It is an effective method for the treatment of CNV associated with high myopia,but long-term follow-up observation still need to perform.

As an important postsurgical adjuvant treatment for DTC, radioactive iodine (RAI) is administered to eliminate residual thyroid tissue as well as the potentially persistent or distant metastatic lesions.It plays a significant role in reducing disease recurrence and tumor-related mortality.The major challenge at present in RAI treatment decision-making is how to achieve optimum clinical outcome with minimal radiation exposure.ATA guidelines recommends a postsurgical recurrence-risk adapted approach to RAI treatment management based on the clinicopathological features.However, RAI therapy is not beneficial to all DTC patients.The potential benefits from RAI therapy in DTC patients with different risk stratification have attracted much attention, and are reviewed in this article in order to provide more evidence-based basis for clinical decision-making.

Recently, the morbidity of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) has increased annually. American Thyroid Association (ATA) published the management guidelines for patients with thyroid nodules and DTC in 2006 in order to standardize their management. The ATA guidelines was updated for the ifrst time in 2009 and its renewed version was completed in 2015 based on the considerable progress that had been made in the ifelds such as diagnostic assessment and management of thyroid nodules, surgery and radioactive iodine therapy for DTC in recent years. This article tried to interpret the updated contents about radioactive iodine therapy for DTC in 2015 version of the guidelines.

BACKGROUND:Docetaxel, a cel cycle specific anti-tumor drug, is a drug that is used primarily for treating breast cancer; however, its efficacy is low when used for treatment of cancer not sensitive to radiotherapy. Bone marrow mesenchymal stemcels have been shown to strengthen the effects of tumor-specific targeting chemotherapy drugs. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of docetaxel combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels (BMSCs) on human hepatoma cel line SMMC-7721. METHODS:BMSC cels were culturedin vitro. The logarithmic growth of SMMC-7721 hepatoma cels were randomly divided into blank control group, BMSCs group and combined treatment group (combined treatment of BMSCs and docetaxel). SMMC-7721 cel cycle was detected usingflow cytometry. Cel growth rate of SMMC-7721 was determined by MTT assay. mRNA and protein expressions of tumor suppressor genes PTEN and p53 were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Combined treatment of docetaxel and BMSCs inhibited SMMC-7721 cell proliferation. Compared with the blank control group, the number of cells at the G0/G1 phase was significantly increased in BMSCs group and combined treatment group. The cell growth rate of SMMC-7721 was significantly inhibited in BMSCs group compared with the blank control group, and that was further inhibited in combined treatment group (P< 0.05). mRNA and protein expressionof PTENandp53 were significantly increased in combined treatment group compared with BMSCs group and blank control group (P< 0.05). Our results suggest that BMSCs inhibit the growth of SMMC-7721 cells,andcombined use of docetaxel and BMSCs strengthensthe antitumor effect of BMSCs.
