Objective To study the efficiency of percutaneous acetic acid injection (PAI) or percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) in the treatment of primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC). Methods Seventeen and 24 patients with PHC were treated, respectively by PAI or by PEI in our hospital. According to hepatic function test, soluble intereukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), AFP, biopsy and size of tumor, the evaluation was made.Results Effective rate was 88.2% in PAI group and 87.5% in PEI group, respectively. There was no obvious influence to sIL-2R in serum in the two groups (Ｐ＞0.05). Obvious differences in impairment of hepatic functions between PAI and PEI groups were found (Ｐ＜0.01), it also showed that smaller amounts of acetic acid and less puncture frequency were required for the treatment than that of ethanol. Conclusion PAI is superior to PEI in the treatment of those patients who are complicated with cirrhosis or other vital disease.
Objective To observe the degradation of the polyactic glycolate acid (PLGA) microparticles with releasing-slowly vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) synthesized by the method of emulsification-diffusion. Methods The method of emulsification-diffusion is to incorporate VEGF into microparticles composed of biodegradable PLGA. The controlled release of microparticles are acquired.

Objective To investigate the effect of chaiqin chengqi decoction (CQCQD) on serum lipid metabolism in experimental acute pancreatitis. Methods A total of 27 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups (n=9 for each group). The mice in the acute pancreatitis model group (AP group) and the acute pancreatitis model + CQCQD treatment group (APQ group) received seven intraperitoneal injections of cerulein (50 µg/kg) at hourly intervals, while the mice in the control group (CON group) received phosphate-buffered saline injections at the same regimen of cerulein. Oral gavage of CQCQD (5.5 g/kg) or same volume of distilled water was commenced 1 h after the first cerulein injection for three times at intervals of 4 h for the APQ group and AP group, respectively. Animals were sacrificed 12 h after the first cerulein / phosphate-buffered saline injection for collecting serum and tissue samples. The levels of serum lipase and amylase, pancreatic histopathology assessment, as well as pancreatic myeloperoxidase activity, were used to assess the severity of acute pancreatitis and the efficacy of CQCQD. Additionally, serum lipid metabolites were analyzed in all groups. Results In comparison to the CON group, the mice in the AP group exhibited significant edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, necrosis of pancreatic tissues, as well as elevated levels of serum amylase, lipase, and pancreatic myeloperoxidase activity (P<0.05); in comparison to the AP group, inflammatory cell infiltration and necrosis of pancreatic tissue, as well as elevated level of serum amylase significantly reduced in the APQ group (P<0.05). A total of 319 lipid molecules were identified in serum, and 13 lipid metabolites were significantly increased in the AP group and successfully decreased in the APQ group, of which 9 were lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) molecules involved in the glycerol phospholipid metabolic pathway. Further statistical analysis revealed that six of these LPE molecules could serve as potential biomarkers. Conclusions CQCQD ameliorated pancreatic injury and serum lipid metabolism disorder of acute pancreatitis model induced by cerulein and significantly improved the abnormal increase of serum LPE level. However, the role of LPE in acute pancreatitis and the underlying mechanisms of CQCQD on LPE metabolic pathways still need further study.
The aim of this paper is to explore the prevention of rabbit postoperative abdominal cavity adhesion with poly (lactic-co-glycotic acid) (PLGA) membrane and the mechanism of this prevention function. Sixty-six Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into normal control group, model control group and PLGA membrane group. The rabbits were treated with multifactor methods to establish the postoperative abdominal cavity adhesion models except for those in the normal control group. PLGA membrane was used to cover the wounds of rabbits in the PLGA membrane group and nothing covered the wounds of rabbits in the model control group. The hematologic parameters, liver and kidney functions and fibrinogen contents were detected at different time. The rabbit were sacrificed 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 weeks after the operations, respectively. The adhesions were graded blindly, and Masson staining and immunohistochemistry methods were used to observe the proliferation of collagen fiber and the expression of transforming growth factorβ1 (TGF-β1) on the cecal tissues, respectively. The grade of abdominal cavity adhesion showed that the PLGA membrane-treated group was significant lower than that in the model control group, and it has no influence on liver and kidney function and hematologic parameters. But the fibrinogen content and the number of white blood cell in the PLGA membrane group were significant lower than those of model control group1 week and 2 weeks after operation, respectively. The density of collagen fiber and optical density of TGF-β1 in the PLGA membrane group were significant lower than those of model control group. The results demonstrated that PLGA membrane could be effective in preventing the abdominal adhesions in rabbits, and it was mostly involved in the reducing of fibrinogen exudation, and inhibited the proliferation of collagen fiber and over-expression of TGF-β1.
Objective To evaluate the internal fixation effect, degradation, and biocompatibility of polylactic-co-glycolic acid/hydroxyapatite (PLGA/HA) absorbable cannulated screws in treatment of lateral femoral condyle fracture of canine so as to provide the theory basis for their further improvement and clinical application. Methods Sixteen adult male Beagles (weighing, 9-12 kg) were selected to prepare the models of bilateral lateral femoral condyle fracture; left fracture was fixed with PLGA/HA absorbable cannulated screws as experimental group and right fracture with metal screws as control group. At 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after operation, general observation was done and X-ray films were taken for observing fracture healing; bone mineral density was measured; the histological examination was performed; and the degradation property of absorbable cannulated screws was detected. Results All animals survived to the end of the experiment. General observations showed that no fracture displacement occurred and fracture healed at 12 weeks in 2 groups; no breakage, displacement, or loosening of screws was observed in experimental group. X-ray films results showed that the absorbable cannulated screws could not be found out by X-ray in experimental group, but metal screws could be found out in control group; fracture healed with time in 2 groups. The bone mineral density reached the peak at 8 weeks in 2 groups, and no significant difference was found between 2 groups and among different time points in the same group (P gt; 0.05). Histological examination showed that 2 groups had similar fracture healing process at different time points; no obvious inflammatory reaction was found around absorbable cannulated screws in experimental group. The degradation results of absorbable cannulated screws showed that the intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight distribution obviously decreased at 2 weeks; the number average molecular weight and the weight average molecular weight markedly decreased at 4 weeks; and the maximum shear force did not decrease obviously at 8 weeks, and then decreased significantly. Significant differences were found in all indexes among different time points in the same group (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion PLGA/HA absorbable cannulated screws and metal screws show similar fracture healing process for fixing lateral femoral condyle fracture of canine, and the absorbable canulated screws have good biocompatibility. The maximum shear force of PLGA/HA absorbable cannulated screw has no obvious decrease during 8 weeks after operation, so it can ensure full healing of fracture.
