Objective To construct vectors that express phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase, catalytic, beta polypeptide （PIK3cb） shRNA in eukaryon plasmid catalyzed by PI3K in rat, then test their effects on intimal hyperplasia in transplanted vein graft. Methods One hundred and fifty SD rats were randomly divided into six groups （n=25, in each group）: blank (25% Pluronic F-127), shRNA-1, shRNA-2, 1/2 （shRNA-1+shRNA-2）, negative control (pGenesil-1 scramble shRNA) and positive control （wortmannin） group. The jugular vein in rats were interpositioned autologously into the common carotid artery. shRNA and 25% Pluronic F-127 were mixed and coated around the transplanted vein in three PIK3cb shRNA groups. Every 5 samples were removed according to the time point (1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after operation), respectively. The thickness of intima and neointima area were calculated and analyzed by computer system. The PCNA expression was detected by Western blot and SP immunohistochemistry. Results The intimal thickness of three PIK3cb shRNA groups were lower than those in the blank group and negative control group on day 3, 7, 14, 28 after operation (P＜0.05); The neointima area in three PIK3cb shRNA groups (except shRNA-2 group on day 3, 7) began to decrease significantly from day one (P＜0.05). The protein expression of PCNA in three PIK3cb shRNA groups on day 3 after operation were decreased compared with blank group and negative group (P＜0.05). The percentage of the PCNA positive cells area in three PIK3cb shRNA groups were significantly lower than those in blank group and negative control group in each time point (Plt;0.05). There were no significant differences between blank and negative control group in different time points (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The PIK3cb shRNA can effectively inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cell, which may provide a new gene therapy for the prevention of vein graft restenosis after bypass grafting.
Objective To investigate the indication and possibility of orthotopic liver transplantation for patient with alveolar hydatid disease. Methods An orthotopic liver transplantaion was successfully performed on two cases with unresectable alveolar hydatid disease using the new approach of venovenous bypass first.Results The recovery of liver graft function was good after the operation in these patients. Following up for nine and three months, the patients returned to his work without any complications. Conclusion It suggests that the case with advanced alveolar hydatid disease are an indication for liver transplantation. The new technique of venovenous bypass prior to mobilization of liver is feasible and safe.

OBJECTIVE To study the function of the composite of bone matrix gelatin(BMG) and plaster in the repairing process of bone defects. METHODS Sixteen New Zealand rabbits which were defected in corpus radii were made as implant zone of bone. Sixteen sides of radii were implanted with the composite of BMG and plaster as experimental group. Others were implanted with BMG(8 sides) and bone stored in alcohol(8 sides) as control groups. The repairing process in bone defects were observed by X-ray and histological examination. RESULTS There was an obvious osteogenesis in experimental group. The defects of radii were almost healed at 12th week after operation. There were osteogenesis in both control groups, but the repairing process was slower than that of the experimental group. CONCLUSION The composite of BMG and plaster is a good material for bone transplantation.
Objective To investigate the application and effect of the crossbridge vascular anastomosis free flap transplantation for tissue defects of extremities. Methods From May 1982 to November 2005, 110 cases of tissue defects of extremities were treated with cross-bridgevascular anastomosis free tissue transplantation. Of 110 patitents, 80 were male and 30 were female with a median age of 30 years(5 to 54 years). Tissue defects were caused by traffic accidents (59 cases), machine injuries (32 cases) and mangled injuries (19 cases). The locations were the forearms in 2 cases and the legs in 108 cases. And 69 cases had simple soft tissue defects, 6 cases had simple bone defects, and 35 cases had complicated defects. The length of bone defectranged from 5 cm to 19 cm and the area of soft tissue defect ranged from 6 cm×10 cm to 15 cm×35 cm. The graft tissue included latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap, vastus anterolateral flap,cutaneous fibula flap, osseous fibula flap, and cutaneous iliac flap. The cross-bridge of the two lower extremities wasperformed in 106 cases, the cross-bridge of the two upper extremities in 2 cass, and the crossbridge of the upper-lower extremities in 2 cases. The compoite tissue transplantation was used if the graft tissues were two or more. The wounds of donor site was directly sutured in 67 cases, and partly sutured with skingrafting in 43 cases. Results Vascular crisis occurred in 9 cases. Vascular crisis was relieved in 5 cases and grafting tissues was survival after exploring the vessel; 4 cases failed. The graft tissue was survival in 101 cases, and the survivalrate was 96.4%. The follow-up time was 4 months to 22 years with an average of 6.3 years. Graft bone healed and mean healing time was 4 months. The flap appearance was satisfactory and extremity function was restored to normal. One case became necrosis in the edge of the flap and cured by debridement, dressing and skingrafting, the other got primary healing at 2-3 weeks after operation. Conclusion The application of the cross-bridge vascular anastomosis free tissue transplantation for tissue defects of extremities is an effective method, when extremities have no vessel anastomosed.
Objective To introduce the imaging modalities used for the evaluation of postoperative complications of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and to present the imaging findings of these complications. Methods The literatures related to the imaging methods and imaging manifestations of OLT complications were reviewed. Results Ultrasound was the initial imaging technique used for the detection of complications in the early postoperative period. Spiral CT and MRI yielded more accurate and comprehensive evaluation of postoperative complications in later stage. So far, there had been no specific imaging findings to suggest rejection reaction. The spectrum of imaging manifestations of OLT complications, such as vascular complications, biliary complications, liver parenchymal complications, and so on, were summarized and illustrated. Conclusion Imaging examination (especially ultrasound, spiral CT and MRI ) plays an important role in the evaluation of postoperative complications of OLT.
Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of single and bilateral lung transplantation in the treatment of end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Chinese and English databases were searched by computer, including PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database and CBM. Case-control studies on single lung transplantation or bilateral lung transplantation for COPD were collected from the inception to July 31, 2022. We evaluated the quality of the literature via Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). All results were analyzed using Review Manager V5.3 and STATA 17.0. Results A total of 8 studies were included covering 14076 patients, including 8326 patients in the single lung transplantation group and 5750 patients in the bilateral lung transplantation group. NOS scores were≥6 points. The results of meta-analysis showed that there was no statistical difference in the postoperative 1-year survival between the two groups (P=0.070). The 2-year survival rate (P=0.002), 3-year survival rate (P<0.001), 5-year survival rate (P<0.001), overall survival rate (P＜0.001), postoperative forced expiratory volume in one second/predicted value (P<0.001), postoperative forced vital capacity (P<0.001), and postoperative 6-minute walking distance (P=0.002) were lower or shorter than those in the bilateral lung transplantation group, the postoperative intubation time (P=0.030) was longer than that in the bilateral lung transplantation group. Bilateral lung transplantation group showed better surgical results. There was no statistical difference in the mortality, obliterative bronchiolitis, length of hospitalization, primary graft dysfunction, or postoperative adverse events (P>0.05). Conclusion Bilateral lung transplantation is associated with better long-term survival and postoperative lung function compared with single lung transplantation. In-hospital mortality and postoperative complications are similar between them.
