Extensive hepatectomy can achieve a higher chance of radical resection of lesions in the hepatobiliary system, but the risk of fatal complications of severe liver failure after surgery also increases accordingly. Therefore, enhancing the liver’s regenerative capacity has always been a hot topic in clinical research. Portal vein blood supply is of great significance for maintaining the normal function of the liver and promoting the repair and proliferation of damaged liver tissue. After selectively altering the blood flow distribution in the portal vein, atrophy or proliferation will occur in different liver lobes. The discovery of the important physiological phenomenon of liver regeneration induced by deportalized blood flow of portal vein has made it possible to promote the volume growth and functional enhancement of the residual liver lobes before hepatectomy, and various technical schemes have been applied and developed in clinical practice. The interim research results show that the portal vein embolization technique is mature, has less trauma, but the induction speed is relatively slow. Portal vein combined with hepatic vein embolization has better induction efficacy and does not increase embolism-related complications, and has a wider range of applications. The induction ability of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy is significant, but the surgical trauma is large, and there are higher requirements for perioperative management. There is a clear correlation between high surgical volume centers and technical improvements and a significant reduction in complications. Resection and partial liver transplantation with delayed total hepatectomy not only break through the bottlenecks of safety and ethical requirements for living donor liver transplantation in adults, but also innovate and enrich the second-stage extensive hepatectomy schemes. However, their technical standards and application scope still need more high-quality research evidence to support them.
Lung cancer is a complex disease with its own challenges, and is considered to be one of the most common causes of cancer death worldwide. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has exacerbated these challenges. The aim of this review is to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the screening, diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. We hope to provide some experience and help for the whole process management of lung cancer patients.
Objective To cultivate human retinal capillary endothelial cells (HRECs) and establish two-dimensional model of human retinal vessels in vitro. Methods In a fibronectincoated raising pound, HRECs were cultured by non-serum human-endothelial-cells substrate and two-dimensional model of human retinal vessels was established. Horseradish peroxidase was used to detect the permeability. Some of the vascular models were cultivated with 5 ng/ml vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), whose changes of permeability was compared with which of the models without cultivation with VEGF. The effect of VEGF on vascular permeability was observed. Results Meshy vascular structure came into being due to the confluent HRECs after 2 to 4 days. Comparatively complete two-dimensional vascular model after about 6 days. VEGF increased vascular permeability and promoted the formation of blood vessels. Conclusion HRECs can be cultivated successfully with human-endothelial-cells substrate; standard retinal two-dimensional vascular model in vitro can be established by using cellular raising pound and non-serum human-endothelial-cells substrate.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of hamstring tendon autograft versus hamstring tendon allograft in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by arthroscopy. MethodsDatabases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2015), CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about hamstring tendon autograft versus hamstring tendon allograft in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by arthroscopy from inception to February 2015. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsA total of 6 RCTs involving 535 knees were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that:(1) Postoperative physical outcomes:There were no significant differences between the hamstring tendon autograft group and the hamstring tendon allograft group in positive rate of Lachman test (RR=1.25, 95%CI 0.92 to 1.71, P=0.15) and positive rate of Pivot shift test (RR=1.04, 95%CI 0.93 to 1.17, P=0.47) at 1 year postoperatively. (2) Postoperative functional recovery outcomes:There were no significant differences between both groups in KT-1000/2000 measurement (MD=-0.79, 95%CI -1.78 to 1.20, P=0.12), abnormal rate of IKDC scores (RR=1.03, 95%CI 0.90 to 1.1, P=0.42) and Lysholm scores (MD=0.23, 95%CI -1.86 to 2.33, P=0.83) at 1 year postoperatively. ConclusionHamstring tendon autograft and hamstring tendon allograft have similar efficacy in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by arthroscopy. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more large-scale and high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of CoughAssist for cleaning airway secretions in neuromuscular disease patients with respiratory insufficiency. MethodsForty-six cases of neuromuscular disease with respiratory insufficiency were recruited in the study,with Guillain-Barre syndrome in 24 cases,myasthenia gravis in 18 cases,and multiple myositis in 4 patients.Thirty-four patients underwent intubation and mechanical ventilation,and 12 patients underwent tracheotomy.They were randomly divided into group A using CoughAssist and group B using suction tube to clear airway secretions after mechanical vibration.The frequency of suction within 24 hours,oxygenation index,pulmonary static compliance,incidence of lung infections,lung auscultation and chest radiograph were recorded and compared between two groups. ResultsCoughAssist could more effectively clean respiratory secretions with higher oxygenation index and pulmonary static compliance in group A.Lung auscultation and chest radiograph significantly improved,and the incidence of lung infection significantly decreased in group A compared with group B.Furthermore,CoughAssist reduced nursing workload with lower frequency of suction within 24 hours. ConclusionCoughAssist can effectively clean up airway secretions,improve oxygenation,while reducing pulmonary infection and nursing workload for neuromuscular disease patients with respiratory insufficiency,so it is aworthy tool in clincal practice.
