Objective To investigate the technical and therapeutic effects of laparoscopic surgery for adult patients with Dong Type C bile duct dilatation.Methods A retrospective cohort study approach was used.The clinical data of 47 patients with Dong Type C adult biliary dilatation who underwent surgery in Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 2014 to December 2017 were collected.There were 12 males and 35 females.The age ranged from 16 to 68 years,with a median age of 30 years.According to different surgical methods,the patients were divided into the laparoscopic group (treated with laparoscopic cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy,n =21) and the open group (treated with traditional open operation,n =26).The intraoperative blood loss,complication rate,operation time,postoperative intestinal function recovery time and postoperative hospital stay were observed.Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ±SD) and analyzed by t test.Comparison of count data was done by the chi-square test.Results There was no perioperative deaths in either group.There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and complication rate between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The operation time of the laparoscopic group was significantly longer than that of the open group[(333.7 ±61.1) min vs (235.9 ±64.3) min],with statistically significant difference between graps (P =0.000).The recovery time for the intestinal function of the laparoscopic group was significantly shorter than that of the open group [(2.2 ± 0.5) d vs (2.9 ± 0.6) d],with statistically significant difference between groups (P =0.000).The postoperative hospital stay in the laparoscopic group was significantly shorter than the open group [(7.1 ± 1.8) d vs (12.0 ± 5.9) d],with statistically significant difference between groups (P =0.001).Conclusion For adult biliary dilatation patiens with Dong Type C,laparoscopic surgery is safe and feasible with the advantages of mini-invasive and quick recovery.

Objective To examine whether the boundary patterns of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in the preoperative contrasted enhanced computer tomography (CE-CT) could predict poor postoperative prognosis.Methods From January 2010 to December 2015,104 patients of pancreatic head ductal adenocarcinoma received radical pancreaticoduodenectomy by a single group of surgeons.All patients underwent CE-CT before operation.The clinicopathological characteristics and the prognosis were comparatively analyzed among the patients with different SMA boundary patterns.Results The patients with obscure SMA boundary in CE-CT had a lower overall survival rate (P =0.012) and a higher liver metastasis rate (P ＜ 0.01) compared to the patients with clear SMA boundary.38.2％ of patients with obscure SMA boundary died within 6 months,69.1％ of them died within 12 months while the mortality rate was 6％ within 6 months and 29.2％ within 12 months in patients with clear SMA boundary.Only 2.2％ of patients with clear SMA boundary presented liver metastasis within 6 months,but that was 53％ in patients with obscure SMA boundary.18.4％ of patients developed liver metastasis within 12 months in patients with clear SMA boundary,whereas the rate was 82％ in patients with obscure SMA boundary.Furthermore,the tissues around the SMA presented a higher CT value in any phase in patients with obscure SMA boundary than in patients with clear SMA boundary (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The patterns of the SMA boundary in CE-CT is a potential prognostic factor in pancreatic head ductal adenocarcinoma after radical operation,and the obscure SMA boundary may be associated with early liver metastasis and high mortality.

Objective To investigate the role of TLR4/NF-κB signal pathway in pathogenesis of brain inju-ry during deep hypothermia circulatory arrest(DHCA). Methods BV2 microglia cells were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R),in vitro model for DHCA. The BV2 were randomly divided into the control group(C group)and the experimental group(O group). BV2 viability was determined by CCK-8 assay. TLR4 and its downstream signaling molecules ,MyD88 and phosphorylated NF-κB (p-p65) expressions were detected by Western blotting. TLR4 mRNA expression in BV2 microglial cells were determined by RT-PCR. Level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in culture medium was detected by ELASA. Results Compared with the group C,BV2 microglia cell viability in experiment group was obviously weaker(P<0.05). Expressions of TLR4,MyD88 and phosphorylated NF-κB(p-p65)from the experiment group increased remarkedly than those from the group C (P < 0.05). TLR4 mRNA level was higher significantly in the group O than in the group C (P < 0.01). Production of IL-6 and TNF-α in the group O were up-regulated apparently compared to the group C(P<0.01). Conclusion TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway contributed to activation of BV2 microglia cells treated by OGD/Reoxygenation ,which was probably the exactly way that involved in pathogenesis of brain injury during deep hypothermia circulatory arrest.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of mucin-producing intrahepatic biliary tumor (MPIBT).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical,radiologic,surgical and pathologic findings of 16 MPIBT cases from January 2004 to December 2011.Results There were six men and ten women,age ranged from 44 to 69 years (mean 60 years).Clinical presentation included jaundice with abdominal dull pain in 5 patients,acute cholangitis in 4 patients,painless jaundice in 2 patients,upper abdominal dull pain in 3 patients,no obvious symptoms in 1 patient,body weight loss more than 5 kg within 3 months in 5 patients.The most characteristic appearance of MPIBT on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography were asymmetry of intrahepatic bile duct dilatation and the dilatation in both extraand intrahepatic bile duct distal to the hepatic mass and not sudden interruption in extrahepatic bile duct.The primary tumor located in the left hepatic bile duct in 15 cases,in the right hepatic bile duct in one.13 MPIBT cases received hemihepatectomy and extrahepatic bile duct resection and Roux-en-Y anastomosis was done in 8 cases,3 received palliative biliary drainage.Pathologically 13 was papillary adenocarcinoma and 3 was papillary adenoma.The 1-,2-,3-year survival rates for the 16 MPIBT patients were 81％,66％,56％,respectively.Conclusions MPIBT had no specific clinical manifestations,MRCP might be an effective means for the diagnositic strategy and assessment of tumor extension before surgery,radical resection was the first choice of treatment,palliative biliary drainage could prolong the survival time.

Objective To investigate the gene expression of PIWIL2 in the bladder urothelial carcinoma (BTCC) and siRNA interact on PIWIL2 gene expression in human bladder cancer cell line BIU-87.Methods Semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was applied to detect the PIWIL2 expressions in tissues of BTCC (46 cases),cystitis glandularis(21 cases),adjacent non-cancerous tissues (17 cases) and normal bladder tissues (7 cases). 3 specific siRNA targeted PIWIL2 gene were synthesized after designed and transferred. After siRNA was transferred into BIU-87 cells, MTI and TUNEL methods were applied to detect the proliferation inhibitory rate (IR) and apoptosis index (AI) in BIU-87 cells,qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to examine effects of siRNA on the expressions of the PIWIL2 gene and protein,respectively.Results The expression rate of PIWIL2 mRNA in BTCC tissues was 76.08 ％(35/46) and significantly higher than those in the cystitis glandularis tissues (42.86 ％,9/21),adjacent non-cancerous tissues (41.17 ％,7/17) and normal tissues (7.14 ％,1/14) (P =0.008,P =0.010,P =0.000).The IR [(37.52±8.84) ％,(64.36±9.64)％] and (62.94±8.43) ％] and AI [(26.18±5.42) ％,(38.75±6.19) ％ and (40.02±5.64) ％] of BIU-87 cells in the siRNA 1～3 groups were respectively significantly higher than those [(1.97±0.02) ％ and (3.35±0.47) ％] in the control group(P=0.000),and expressions of PIWIL2 mRNA and protein in the siRNA groups were both lower than those in the control group. Moreover, the effects of siRNA 2 group and siRNA 3 group on inhibiting PIWIL2 expression, IR and AI of BIU-87 cells were stronger than siRNA 1 group. Conclusion The over-expression of PIWIL2 suggested that it played an important role in the mechanism of development and malignant progression of BTCC. The siRNA of transcription can significantly inhibit its expression, induce cell apoptosis and inhibit the growth of BIU-87 cells which might provide the experimental evidence for the gene targeting therapy of bladder tumor.

Objective To investigate kupffer cells (KCs) expressing indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase(IDO)in the inhibition of allogeneic T-cell proliferation in vitro. Methods Real-time PCR was used to investigate the expression of IDO mRNA and FasL mRNA in KCs pretreated with or without IFNγ. High performance liquid chromatography was used to analyze the catabolism of tryptophan by IDO from KCs. Allogeneic T-cell response was used to confirm the inhibition of KCs in vitro. The proliferation of lymphocytes was detected using [3 H] thymidine incorporation. Cell cycle and lymphocyte apoptosis were evaluated by flow cytometric assay. Results Real-time PCR revealed IDO mRNA and FasL mRNA expression in KCs pretreated with IFN-γ. IDO catabolic effect was confirmed by a decrease in tryptophan and increase in kynurenine concentration. KCs expressing IDO and FasL from BABL/c mice acquire the ability to suppress the proliferation of T-cells from C57BL/6, which could be blocked by the addition of 1-methyl-tryptophan and anti-FasL antibody. The co-cultured T-cells with KCs expressing IDO and FasL could induce allogeneic T-cell apoptosis and exhibited cell-cycle arrest in G1. Conclusion In addition to the Fas/FasL pathway, IDO may also play an important role in KCs to inhibit allogeneic T-cell proliferation in vitro.
