Abstract：

Objective To observe the effect of epirubicin polybutylcyanoacrylate magnetic nanoparticles (EPI-PBCA-MNPS) on the transplanted hepatoma in nude mice.Methods Human hepatoma cell line Bel-7402 nude mice models were established and divided into 5 groups with each of 10 once gross tumor volume was up to 20-30 mm3:normal saline group (NS),epirubicin group (EPI),epirubicin polybutylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles group (EPI-PBCA-NPS),epirubicin polybutylcyanoacrylate magnetic nanoparticles group (EPI-PBCA-MNPS) and epirubicin polybutylcyanoacrylate magnetic nanoparticles+magnetic field group(EPI-PBCA-MNPS+MF).Except for NS group, the dosage of epirubicin was 0.002 mg/g body weight or 40 μg for intravenous injection.After two-weeks therapy,all nude mice models were executed and the tumor volume and weight were measured so as to calculate the volume inhibition ratio and the weight inhibition ratio.Every tumor specimen was made into pathological section and labelled with serial number for comparing neorobiosis degree in different groups before and after therapy.Results There were statistically difference among the other groups (P<0.05) in the volume inhibition ratio and the weight inhibition ratio after therapy except for EPI-PBCA-NPS and EPI-PBCA-MNPS group (P>0.05).The two ratios in the EPI-PBCA-MNP+MF group (94.26%,80.82%) were significantly more than those in other groups (P<0.01).The pathological sections demonstrated the most severe tumour neorobiosis in the EPI-PBCA-MNP+MF group.Conclusion With the additional magnetic field,EPI-PBCA-MNPS has significant anticancer effect on human hepatoma nude mice models due to its favourable magnetic targeting.

Malignant transformation of spinal meningeal melanocytoma. Case report and review of the literature

Meningeal melanocytomas are rare tumors and malignant transformation of these lesions is even rarer. The authors report on a case of a 57-year-old man who presented with a melanocytoma located at the L5-S1 level. After gross-total resection of the tumor, it recurred 1 year later as a malignant melanoma. In addition, multiple subcutaneous metastases were found at that time. The patient was treated with radiation therapy (5000 cGy). Five months later metastases in the liver and the left ninth rib were discovered. The pertinent literature is reviewed and disease criteria are presented to distinguish meningeal melanocytoma from malignant melanoma and from meningiomas or schwannomas containing melanotic pigment. Patients and investigators should be cautioned that a meningeal melanocytoma may recur and transform into a malignant melanoma.     

The laterally extended medial hemisoleus flap for reconstruction of a tibial wound in the distal third of the leg

A soleus flap as a local reconstructive option for soft-tissue coverage of a tibial wound in the distal third of the leg has never been well recognized. In a 2-year period, seven patients underwent reconstruction of a less extensive tibial wound (4 × 3 to 10 × 4 cm) in the distal third of the leg after orthopedic trauma with the laterally extended medial hemisoleus flap. The flap was elevated with emphasis on the preservation of the most distal perforators from the posterior tibial vessels to the flap as possible while allowing adequate rotation of the flap to cover the exposed tibia and/or hardware and on the possible preservation of foot planter flexion by reconstruction of the proximal Achilles’ tendon. In this series, there was no total or partial flap loss. All patients healed their tibial wounds primarily with reliable soft-tissue coverage, evidenced fracture healing, and good cosmetic outcome during follow-up. Thus, the laterally extended medial hemisoleus flap described by the author can be a reliable option for soft-tissue coverage of a less extensive tibial wound in the distal third of the leg. It offers a more cost-effective approach for managing this unique problem and can be performed by most reconstructive surgeons without microsurgical expertise.     

Impaired hepatic regeneration by ischemic preconditioning in a rat model of small-for-size liver transplantation

OBJECTIVE: Graft size is one of the major risk factors in adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation and rapid regeneration is an essential post-operative requirement. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been shown to be an effective strategy in the reduction of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury and stimulation of liver regeneration. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of IPC on liver regeneration in small-for-size liver grafts. METHODS: We employed a rat orthotopic liver transplantation model using small-for-size (30%) grafts, in the presence or absence (control) of IPC (10 min of ischemia followed by 15 min of reperfusion). Survival rate, graft injury, hepatocellular proliferation, cell cycle progression, Stat3 activation, as well as TNF-alpha and IL-6 expression were assessed. RESULTS: IPC significantly enhanced the extent of graft injury and hindered hepatic regeneration in small-for-size liver grafts. The 7-day survival rate was also reduced by IPC, but failed to reach statistical significance. IPC did not affect TNF-alpha levels, but significantly decreased the elevation of IL-6 after reperfusion. These findings were correlated with down-regulation of cyclin E and cyclin D1, and decreased numbers of PCNA-positive nuclei in IPC grafts. These results were inconsistent with Stat3 activation, as P-Stat3 exhibited a stronger and prolonged pattern of expression in the IPC group, compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS: Ischemic preconditioning may impair liver regeneration in small-for-size liver grafts by decreasing IL-6 and blunting cell cycle progression, through a mechanism at least partially independent of Stat3.     

Acute kidney injury after radical gastrectomy: a single center study

Objectives

To investigate the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and identify risk factors for AKI in patients who undergo radical gastrectomy.

Methods

This study included 536 patients underwent radical gastrectomy. Primary outcome was AKI, defined as a ≥50 % increase in serum creatinine relative to baseline during the first three postoperative days. Secondary outcomes were duration of hospitalization and all-cause hospital mortality within 30 days after radical gastrectomy.

Results

A total of 37 (6.9 %) patients developed postoperative AKI. Age, body mass index (BMI), presence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, poor blood glucose control, and preoperative higher cystatin C were associated with increased frequency of AKI. By multivariable analyses, the independent risk factors for AKI were age, BMI, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and preoperative cystatin C.

Conclusions

Postoperative AKI is not infrequent after radical gastrectomy. Age, BMI, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and preoperative cystatin C are independently associated with increased risk of postoperative AKI.     

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy in horseshoe kidney: Case reports and literature review

Horseshoe kidney is the most common congenital renal fusion anomaly. Immunoglobulin A nephropathy is a common glomerulonephritis worldwide. However, the co‐occurrence of these diseases had not been reported in the literature. We report the first two cases with the occurrence of immunoglobulin A nephropathy in horseshoe kidney. The first case was a 26‐year‐old male with hypertension and proteinuria (1.4 g/24 h), his pathological finding was primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy. The second case was a 15‐year‐old female who presented with recurrent peliosis on bilateral lower extremities, haematuria and proteinuria (1.7 g/24 h). Her renal biopsy finding was Henoch–Schonlein purpura nephritis (secondary immunoglobulin A nephropathy). In both cases, renal biopsy was performed by experienced doctors under ultrasonic guidance at the renal upper pole and no postoperative complications were observed. After they were treated based on the renal pathological findings for 6 months, urine protein excretion decreased significantly and blood pressure and serum creatinine stabilized. It is possible that immunoglobulin A nephropathy occurs in a horseshoe kidney patient. Renal biopsy may be valuable and viable for horseshoe kidney patients with heavy proteinuria to identify pathologic type of glomerulopathy and to guide treatment, if renal biopsy is performed by experienced doctors at the renal upper pole under renal ultrasonic guidance.
