Mechanism research of proliferation and killing hepatoma cell of CD3AK cell by Wogonin / 中国免疫学杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of Wogonin on CD3AK cell proliferation and cytotoxicity to SMMC-7721.Methods:CD3AK cells were cultured from peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMC) in vitro by a variety of cytokines for 7 d,and treated with different concentrations of Wogonin for 48 h.CD3AK cells proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay.SMMC-7721 cell growth was detected by MTT.The expression of perforin (PFP),granzyme B (GrB) and CD107a on CD3AK cells were measured by flow cytometry ( FCM).The cytotoxicity to SMMC-7721 cells was detected by LDH release assay.The expression of ERK1/2 on CD3AK cells was detected by Western blot.The mobility of SMMC-7721 cells was detected with transwell chambers.The merge of SMMC-7721 cells were measured with Wound healing assay.Results:Wogonin could significantly promote CD3AK cells proliferation, especially at 3.2 mg/L (23%higher than that of control group,P<0.05).The highest cytotoxicity to SMMC-7721 was also at the con-centration 3.2 mg/L (60.4%).The expression of PFP,GrB,CD107a were significantly higher than that of control group( P<0.05).The expression of ERK1/2 was obviously improved,especially at 12.5-0.8mg/L.After treated with Wogonin 50,12.5,3.2,0.8,0.2 mg/L for 48 h,the lowest transwell cell was at 12.5 mg/L and lowest merge rate was at 3.2 mg/L.Conclusion:Wogonin could promote CD3AK cell proliferation and enhance the cytotoxicity to SMMC-7721.Wogonin could also inhibit SMMC-7721 cell growth,migration and cell merge.The mechanism may be related to activated ERK1/2 and increase the expression of PFP,GrB,CD107a.

Causes and treatment strategies for laparoscopic vascular injuries / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To summarize the causes and treatment strategies for laparoscopic vascular injuries.Methods We had retrospectively reviewed 1858 cases of laparoscopic surgeries from March 2006 to February 2011.There were 10 cases (6 males and 4 females) had intraoperative vascular injuries.The mean age of these 10 patients was 49 years (ranged from 21 to 78 years).2 cases were aortic injuries,2 cases were vena cava injuries,4 cases were renal vein injuries,1 case was iliac vein injury and 1 case was iliac artery injury.The causes of vascular injuries included 2 cases caused by lack of anatomical understanding; 1 cases occurred during establishment of the first puncture site ; 2 cases caused by forced operation during the procedure; 2 cases caused due to ectopic anatomy; 3 cases caused due to adhesions and difficulties in dissection.Treatment strategies were maintaining pneumoperitoneum pressure and rapidly increasing the pressure to 2.6Kpa if a large amount of bleeding in a short time.With the help of suction,the bleeding sites could be identified.If necessary,an additional trocar was added to help exposure.The bleeding was closed with 4-0 vessel sutures.For arterial bleeding,the upper and lower ends of blood vessel ruptures were clipped with bulldog clamp,then follow the same procedures of variceal bleeding sutures if the bleeding were controlled.Results In 7 of the 10 cases,the bleedings were successfully controlled by laparoscopic technique,while the other 3 were converted to open surgery for bleeding control.The average laparoscopic hemostasis time in the 7 cases was 14 min (range from 8 to 25 min),the average blood loss was 530 ml (range from 150 to 1600 ml).Rupture size were 0.2-1.0 cm.One aortic injury case had complication of big post operative local hematoma which was spontaneously absorbed 3 months after surgery.And the other 9 patients did not have air embolism,hemorrhage and other complications.Conclusions Laparoscopic vascular injuries can be caused by a variety of causes.The strategies of controlling the bleeding are calmness and the fine suturing to control bleeding.A skillful assistant also plays an important role in dealing with this complication.

Initial experience of horseshoe kidney treated with transperitoneal laparoscopic plastic surgery / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility,technique and clinical effect of applying laparoscopic plastic surgery in the treatment of horseshoe kidney.Methods Eleven patients with horseshoe kidney were admitted from Mar.2006 to Mar.2011.There were 5 males and 6 females with mean age of 27years (14 to 46 years).Clinical manifestations included lower-back pain in 8 cases,lower-back pain and hematuria in 2 cases,lower-back pain and fever in 1 case.There were 6 cases accompanied with kidney calculi.All the cases with calculus were in left kidney and there was 1 case with multiple calculi.There were 11 cases accompanied with left hydronephrosis.Of which,there were moderate hydronephrosis in 6 cases,severe hydronephrosis in 5 cases.There were 3 cases accompanied with mild right hydronephrosis.There were 2 patients with renal insufficiency,1 patient with urinary tract infection.The surgery procedures included laparoscopic isthmectomy and plastic surgery in 3 cases,isthmectomy and plastic surgery and pelviolithotomy in 6 cases,isthmectomy and vascular compression release in 2 cases.ResultsAll patients had successful surgeries with the mean operative time of 145 min (95 - 190 min).The average blood loss was 250 ml ( 100 -400 ml).Average postoperative hospital stay was 10 d (7 - 15 d).One patient suffered from urinary leakage after surgery and recovered after anti-inflammatory therapy and local drainage.One patient suffered from secondary hemorrhage controlled with DSA.All the patients were followed up with a mean of 17 months (6 -28 months).In 6 cases with moderate hydronephrosis,5 patients recovered to mild hydronephrosis and 1 case improved from preoperative renal hydronephrosis 3.5 cm to postoperative 3.0 cm.In 5 cases with severe hydronephrosis,3 patients improved to moderate hydronephrosis,2 patients to mild hydronephrosis.One patient with kidney stone had 0.4 cm residual stone.Three patients complained of occasional mild backache.One patient suffered from hematuria and urinary tract infection,recovered after antiinflammatory therapy for 2 weeks.The remaining 6 patients were in good conditions during the follow-up.ConclusionTransperitoneal laparoscopic plastic surgery is able to deal with horseshoe kidney isthmus malformation and comorbidities,and is another alternative for the treatment of horseshoe kidney.

Decreasing scar formation with subcilliary incision in medial epicanthoplasty / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To discuss a simple and effective method of medial epicanthoplasty with the subcilliary incision, which can decrease the visible scar. Methods From January of 2007 to De-cember of 2008, 38 patients with epicanthal fold underwent epicanthoplasty using the new method. During the operation a skin incision was subcilliarily made outward from the original medial epican-thus. After elevating the flap and excising the orbicularis oculi muscle beneath the epieanthal fold, the new medial epicanthus was sutured to the designed point. Then subciliary incision was trimmed and sutured. Results Most of the patients obtained satisfactory results. Only one patient complained a-bout visible scarring and none required revision surgery. Scarring was avoided on the noticeable medial canthal region because the only incisions needed were subciliary incisions. Conclusions This method is simple to design and easy to perform. The operative results are effective without visible scars on the medial canthal region.
