Objective:To explore the significance of laparoscopic virtual reality simulation training by analyzing the learning curve of laparoscopic cholecystectomy among young general surgeons who had participated in laparoscopic skills training at our hospital.Methods:Fifty young surgeons were divided into two groups, with the intervention group participating in virtual reality simulation training and the control group participating in traditional laparoscopic clinical training. After completion of the training, 30 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed under the supervision of highly qualified surgeons with extensive laparoscopic experience. CUSUM analysis was applied to plot the trainees' surgical learning curve based on the completion rate, surgical score and operative time. " x" is the number of surgical cases and " k" is the slope. The value of x when k=0 was calculated and the surgical learning curves and intraoperative scores of the 2 groups of trainees were compared. SPSS 23.00 was performed for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The intervention and control groups crossed the surgical learning curve at x=19.24±0.39 and x=21.72±0.73 respectively, with significant differences ( P<0.01); the intervention and control groups scored (10.82±2.73) and (9.71±2.69) for gallbladder exposure ( t=4.61, P<0.01), (12.59±3.12) and (8.87±2.99) for gallbladder dissection triangle ( t=6.21, P<0.01), and (10.69±3.38) and (8.80±3.55) for gallbladder dissection ( t=3.10, P<0.01). Conclusions:Virtual reality simulation training can facilitate the translation of basic laparoscopic training skills into clinical skills and can promote the growth of young general surgeons.

Objective To analyse the relationships between islet β-cell function and infection,inflammation and major organ function in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) patients with severe traumatic hemorrhage.Methods A total of 187 cases of MODS patients hospitalized in the 94th Hospital of PLA from January 2013 to January 2016 were selected,and were divided into the MODS survival group (MODS-S group,104 cases) and MODS dead group (MODS-D group).Other 100 healthy subjects were selected as the control group.The fasting blood glucose (GLU0) and insulin (INS0) levels,blood glucose (GLU30) and insulin (INS30) levels after 30 min of glucose loading,and levels of soluble triggering receptor expressedon myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-a),interleukin-6 (IL-6),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),creatinine (Cre) and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) in different groups were determined.The insulin-β-cell function was evaluated by homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-β) index and ratio of insulin increment and blood glucose increment after 30 min of glucose loading (ΔINS30/ΔGLU30),and their relationships to other indexes,including sTREM-1,TNF-α,IL-6,GLU0,ALT,Cre and CK-MB,in MODS patients with severe traumatic hemorrhage were analysed.Results The HOMA-β and AINS30/AGLU30 ratio in the MODS-D group were lower than those in the MODS-S group,and levels of sTREM-1,TNF-α,IL-6,ALT,Cre and CK-MB in the MODS-D group were higher than those in the MODS-S group,there were statistically significant differences (P＜0.01).In MODS patients with severe traumatic hemorrhage,HOMA-β and ΔINS30/AGLU30 was both negatively correlated with sTREM-1,TNF-α,IL-6,GLU0,ALT,CreandCK-MB (r=-0.356 4,-0.532 1,-0.345 8,-0.772 1,-0.762 5,-0.684 8,-0.606 4;r=-0.428 5,-0.567 8,-0.487 0,-0.743 6,-0.781 7,-0.717 6,-0.640 1,P＜0.01).Conclusion MODS patients with severe traumatic hemorrhage have islet β-cell dysfunction which may be used as a prognostic and diagnostic indicator.

Objective:To investigate the proliferation of rat glomerular mesangial cells (GMC) influenced by different ethanol extracts of Tripterygium wilfordii HooK F.(TWHF).Methods:An HPLC method was used to establish the fingerprints of 5 different ethanol extracts of TWHF,and GMC was chosen to study the effects of different ethanol extracts of TWHF on cell proliferation.After statistical analysis,the spectrum-activity relationship was analyzed by using partial least squares regression(PLSR).Results:The HPLC fingerprints of the 5 different ethanol extracts of TWHF were established,and 32 characteristic peaks were characterized by the HPLC fingerprints.60%,70% and 95% ethanol extracts and glycosides tablets showed dose-effect relationship,and with the increase of dose,the more significant inhibition of cell proliferation was exhibited.The absorbance values of the 60% ethanol extracts at medium and high doses were lower than those of the other extracts at the same dose.The proliferation inhibition rate of GMC was used as the potency index and analyzed by PLSR,and 20 peaks were potency peaks at high dose(40 μg·L-1),17 ones were potency peaks at medium dose(20 μg·L-1) and 15 ones were potency peaks at low dose(10 μg·L-1).Conclusion:Part of the potency peaks has regular dose-effect relationship with the changes of dose.

OBJECTIVE:To study the purification technology of 4 active components from Tripterygium wilfordii by macropo-rous resin. METHODS:The purification abilities of nine macroporous resins(ADS-5,ADS-8,HPD100,HPD300,HPD400, HPD450,HPD700,HPD722 and HPD750) were studied with the adsorption and desorption rates of triptolide,wilforlide,trip-tonide and tripterine as the index by static adsorption and desorption experiments for 4 active components from T. wilfordii,so as to screen optimal macroporous resins. Using transfer rate of active component as index,single factor test was used to investigate the effects of different sampling method,ratio of mixing sample to total resin quantity,ratio of resin to medicinal material,cleaning so-lution(type,amount and cleaning flow rate),diameter- height ratio of resins,eluant(volume,flow rate)on adsorption,so as to determine the optimal elution technology;validation test was also conducted. RESULTS:HPD722 macroporous resin was chosen as adsorption resin;ratio of diameter to height was 1∶10,resin-medicinal material ratio was 1∶2,and ratio of mixing sample to to-tal resin quantity was 1∶10;wet column installing and mixing resin for sample loading were adopted. The macroporous resin was washed with 12 BV 20%ethanol at the rate of 12 BV/h,and then eluted with 12 BV 95%ethanol at the rate of 6 BV/h. The verifi-cation test results showed that the total transfer rate of 4 active components from T. wilfordii was more than 90%(RSD=0.99%, n=3). CONCLUSIONS:The optimized technology is stable and feasible,and suitable for the purification of 4 active components from T. wilfordii.

Objective To discusse the feasibility and application value of the computer-assisted liver cancer ablation planning based on the three dimensional ultrasound.Methods Forty three-dimensional ultrasound images of 39 patients with 40 tumors'maximum diameter between 21 to 70 mm were collected and then acquired image segmentation and visualzation.The computer-assisted liver cancer ablation planning based on three dimensional ultrasound was comparied with the artificial ablation planning based on two dimensional ultrasound to find out the differences in the success rate,damage rate,time-consuming and the number of insertions between these two methods.Results Compared with the artificial ablation planning based on two dimensional ultrasound,the computer-assisted liver cancer ablation planning had a higher success rate(92.31% vs 53.85%,P =0.000),lower damage rate(7.50% vs 25.00%,P =0.034),shorter time-consuming(44.0 s vs 263.0 s,P =0.000)and less insersion times(3 vs 4,P =0.009).Conclusions The computer-assisted liver cancer ablation planning based on three dimensional ultrasound is more efficient and safety than the traditional way.

Objective To investigate the clinical efifcacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treatment of liver metastasis of colon cancer. Methods A total of 68 patients with liver metastasis of colon cancer in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from June 2007 to May 2011 were enrolled in this prospective study. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and local ethical committee approval had been received. There were 43 males and 25 females with a mean age of (59±4) years old. The patients were divided into RFA group and Control group with 34 cases in each group according to random number table method. Patients in both groups underwent TACE ifrstly and patients in RFA group underwent RFA 3 weeks after TACE treatment. Cluster of differentiation (CD) 3+, CD4+, CD8+positive cell percentage and CD4+/CD8+ratio were deifned by flow cytometry before and after treatments in two groups. The tumor diameter after treatments and general efifcacy were observed. The patients were followed up and the tumor recurrence and survival of the patients were observed. The comparisons of tumor diameter and immune function between two groups were conducted using t test. The comparison of efifcacy between two groups was conducted using rank sum test. The survival analysis was conducted using Log-rank test and Z test. Results The CD4+, CD8+percentage and CD4+/CD8+ratio were (42±4)%, (13±3)%, 2.9±0.9 in RFA group after treatment and were (33±4)%, (17±3)%, 2.3±0.9 in Control group, where signiifcant differences were observed (t=5.483,-6.488, 9.321;P<0.05). The tumor diameter in RFA group after treatment [(0.9±0.1) cm] was significantly smaller than that in Control group [(1.9±0.2) cm] (t=-4.573, P<0.05). The total effective rate in RFA group was 62%(21/34) and was 35%(12/34) in Control group. The treatment efifcacy of RFA group was better than that of Control group (Z=4.769, P<0.05). The 2-, 3-year survival rates in RFA group (38.2%, 23.5%) were significantly higher than those in Control group (14.7%, 5.9%) (Z=4.836, 4.221; P<0.05). Conclusions TACE combined with RFA is a safe and effective regimen in treating liver metastasis of colon cancer. The efifcacy may be associated with the improvement of the body’s immune function.
