Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effect of resistance exercise on peripheral inflammatory biomarkers in healthy adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and SPORTDiscus, were searched from inception until April 1st, 2022. A meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model, followed by sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, meta-regression analysis, and publication bias analysis. RESULTS 15 randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that resistance exercise significantly decreased TNF-α levels (SMD = -0.81, 95% CI: -1.42 to -0.20, p = 0.009) but did not affect IL-6 and CRP levels. Individuals with BMI 18.5-24.9 exhibited significantly decreased IL-6 levels, while moderate strength resistance exercise could significantly decrease TNF-α levels. Finally, age might be a confounding factor influencing the effect of resistance exercise on IL-6. CONCLUSIONS Resistance exercise could reduce TNF-α levels in healthy adults, and resistance exercise with moderate intensity could reduce TNF-α levels more effectively.

Abstract
Pancreaticojejunostomy is the most common anastomosis following pancreaticoduodenectomy and middle pancreatectomy. The detailed surgical technics of pancreaticojejunostomy vary dramatically, but none of them can achieve zero fistula rate. In recent years,with the development of new surgical concept,application of new surgical technology, high-tech materials and instruments,the incidence of pancreatic fistula has decreased. At the same time,researches on investigating the risk factors of pancreaticojejunostomy are gradually deepening. Based on years of surgical experience on pancreaticojejunostomy and current literatures, this paper analyzes the factors affecting the effect of pancreaticojejunostomy, such as the patient's basic physical state,pancreatic texture and diameter of the pancreatic duct,pathology and course of the disease,surgical technology and perioperative management,and summarizes six technical principles for pancreaticojejunostomy to be shared with surgical comrades:appropriate tension,protection of blood supply,hermetic closure of pancreatic section,accurate connection of pancreatic duct and intestinal mucosa,individualization,learning and accumulation of experience.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the population characteristics, the positive rate of screening, the detection rate of breast cancer, early diagnosis rate and the cost between the mass screening group and opportunistic screening group of breast cancer. Methods: This study is a prospective multicenter cohort study conducted from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016. The participants were enrolled for mass screening or opportunistic screening of breast cancer. After completing the questionnaire, all the participants received breast physical examination and breast ultrasound examination every year for 3 rounds by year. The participants' characteristics and screening results of the two groups were compared by χ2 test, Fisher exact test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results: A total of 20 080 subjects were enrolled. In the mass screening group, 9 434 (100%), 8 111 (85.98%) and 3 940 (41.76%) cases completed the 3 rounds of screening, and 10 646 (100%), 6 209 (58.32%) and 2 988 (28.07%) cases in the opportunistic screening group, respectively. In the opportunistic screening group, the proportions of less than 3 months lactation (1 275/9 796 vs. 1 061/8 860, χ²=4.597, P=0.032), non-fertility (850/10 646 vs. 574/9 434, χ²=27.400, P<0.01), abortion history (6 384/10 646 vs. 5 062/9 434, χ²=81.232, P<0.01), postmenopausal (2 776/10 646 vs. 2 217/9 434, χ²=17.757, P<0.01), long-term oral contraceptives(>6 months) (171/10 646 vs. 77/9 434, χ²=25.593, P<0.01) and family history of breast cancer in first-degree relatives (464/10 646 vs. 236/9 434, χ²=51.257, P<0.01) were significantly higher than those in mass screening group. The positive rate of screening (514/10 646 vs. 128/9 434, χ²=194.736, P<0.01), the detection rate of breast cancer (158/10 646 vs. 13/9 434, χ²=107.374, P<0.01), and positive rate of biopsy (158/452 vs. 13/87, χ²=13.491, P<0.01) in the opportunistic screening group were significantly higher than those of the mass screening group. The early diagnosis rate of the mass screening group was significantly higher than the opportunistic screening group (10/12 vs. 66/141, χ²=5.902, P=0.015). The average cost for detecting each breast cancer case of the mass screening group was 215 038 CNY, which was 13.6 times of the opportunistic screening group (15 799 CNY/case). In the opportunistic screening group, the positive rate of biopsy in primary hospitals was significantly lower than that in large-volume hospitals (79/267 vs. 79/185, χ²=8.267, P=0.004), but there was no significant difference in the mass screening group (6/37 vs. 7/50, χ²=0.082, P=0.774). Conclusions: Breast cancer screening can improve early detection rate. Compared with the mass screening mode, the opportunistic screening mode has the advantages of higher proportion of high-risk factors, higher positive rate of screening, higher detection rate of breast cancer, higher positive rate of biopsy, and lower cost of screening. However, the early diagnosis rate of breast cancer of opportunistic screening is lower than that of mass screening. The positive rate of opportunistic screening in primary hospitals is lower than that of large-volume hospitals. The two screening modes have their own advantages and should be chosen according to local conditions of different regions in China.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the effect of the "four-steps" treatment on infectious pancreatic necrosis(IPN). Methods: The data of 207 patients who were diagnosed with IPN from January 2013 to December 2017 at Department of Pancreaticobiliary Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. Among 207 patients, 132(63.8%) were males and 75(36.2%) were females. The median age was 45 years old (range: 19 to 80 years old). One hundred and fifty-eight patients(76.3%) suffered severe acute pancreatitis and 49 patients(23.7%) suffered moderately severe acute pancreatitis. Percutaneous catheter drainage(PCD) was performed on all the patients(Step 1). Patients received "four-steps" minimally invasive treatment strategy in step-up group(173 patients). The following steps after PCD were mini-incision access pancreatic necrosectomy(MIAPN) (Step 2), sinus tract endoscopic debridement and(or) PCD for residual infections(Step 3) and finally conventional open pancreatic necrosectomy(OPN) (Step 4). Patients(34 cases) received conventional open pancreatic necrosectomy after invalided PCD in OPN group. The perioperative parameters and prognosis were compared between Step-up group and OPN group. Normally distributed quantitative variables were analyzed by t-test, non-normally distributed quantitative variables were analyzed by Wilcoxon chi-square test and categorical variables were analyzed by χ(2) test or Fisher exact test, respectively. Results: The basic characteristics of the two groups of patients were similar, but the referral rate of patients and the rate of preoperative 3 days organ failure in the OPN group were significantly higher than those of step-up group patients(47.1% vs. 28.9%, χ(2)=4.313, P=0.038; 26.5% vs. 9.2%, χ(2)=2.819, P=0.011). The frequency of PCD and the number of PCD tube (root) were less than those in the step-up group(1(1) vs. 2(1), Z=-3.373, P=0.018; 2(1) vs. 3(2), Z=-2.208, P=0.027). Compared with the OPN group, the interval time from onset to surgery and the MIAPN operation time were significantly shorter in the step-up group(29(15) days vs. 36(17)days, Z=-0.567, P=0.008; 58(27)minutes vs. 90(56)minutes, Z=-3.908, P<0.01); postoperative mortality was lower(5.8% vs.17.6%, χ(2)=4.070, P=0.044); the overall incidence of postoperative complications was reduced(23.1% vs. 55.9%, χ(2)=14.960, P<0.01) and the incidence of new-onset organ failure was decreased after operation in the step-up group(37.5% vs.47.4%, χ(2)=7.133, P=0.007). The incidence of local abdominal complications (pancreatic fistula, intra-abdominal hemorrhage, gastrointestinal fistula) showed no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Fewer patients required ICU treatment after operation in the step-up group compared with OPN group(22.0% vs. 44.1%, χ(2)=6.204, P=0.013). Patients in the Step-up group has shorter hospital stay than patients in OPN group (46(13) days vs. 52(13)days, Z=-1.993, P=0.046). Conclusions: The clinical effects of "four-steps" exhibited the superiority of minimally invasive treatment of IPN.And MIAPN is a simple, safe and effective procedure to remove pancreatic necrotic tissue and decrease complications.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the status of immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) after mastectomy in Beijing City, Tianjin City and Hebei Province. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on the data of 382 cases with breast cancer who were treated and followed up successfully with immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy from January 2012 to December 2016 in Beijing City, Tianjin City and Hebei Province. Clinic data of the followed-up 382 cases (all female, age (38.5±4.2) years (range: 24 to 70 years)), including general information, tumor information, sugery methods, and treatments after surgery were collected. The survival status, metastasis,complications and prognosis were followed up. Cosmetic effcet was evalated by Harris method, and life quality by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast scale (FACT-B). χ(2) test was used to compare the difference between year 2012 and year 2013 to 2016. Bonferroni method was used to correct the inspection level, which was 0.05/10=0.005. The trend of IBR rate (ratio of IBR to modified radical mastectomy) from 2013 to 2016 was analyzed by trend χ(2) test. Results: There was 46 cases in stage 0, 152 cases in stage Ⅰ, 165 cases in stage Ⅱ, 19 cases in stage Ⅲ. Twenty-five cases was treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 231 by chemotherapy and 35 by radiotherapy. The proportion of implant reconstruction was 48.7% (186/382), more than expanded of 21.5% (82/382), with latissimus dorsi of 12.0% (46/382), TRAM of 8.9% (34/382), DIEP of 2.1% (8/382), and latissimus plus implant of 6.8% (26/382). According to the Harris standard, the excellent and good rate of the cosmetic effect of the reconstructed breast was 93.7%. The score of FACT-B was 108.20±16.9 (range: 67 to 144) 1 year postoperatively. Compared with 2012, the IBR rate was significant increased, till 2015, the IBR rate was 153/10 000 cases (χ(2)=47.028, P=0.000). Conclusions: There is a significant increase on IBR rate in Beijing City, Tianjin City and Hebei province by year. Most of cases received IBR is stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ. Implant reconstruction is the main reconstructive method. Postoperative cosmetic effects and quality of life are both meet patients' demon.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the association of hyperglycemia and postoperative complications in non-diabetic patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD). Methods: The clinical data of 209 non-diabetic patients who underwent PD from January 2012 to June 2018 at Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively analyzed. According to the diagnostic criteria of postoperative hyperglycemia, the patients were divided into postoperative hyperglycemia group (167 cases, 79.9%) and control group(42 cases, 20.1%). The propensity score matching(PSM) method was used to eliminate the difference between groups(caliper value=0.02; 38 cases in control group including 30 males and 8 females with age of 59.0 years;38 cases in postoperative hyperglycemia group including 32 males and 6 females with age of 61.0 years;37 cases of pancreatic head carcinoma,30 cases of periampullary carcinoma and 9 cases of benign diseases). A comparative analysis was applied for preoperative data, surgical related indicators and postoperative complication rates.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to calculate the area under the curve(AUC) of blood glucose values on postoperative day 1,3 and 5(POD1, POD3, POD5), to determine the high-risk blood glucose cutoff value of complications and to evaluate its sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of postoperative complications. Results: Univariate analysis showed that the differences in gender, body mass index, preoperative blood glucose, and serum urea nitrogen levels were statistically significant before PSM.There was no significant difference in the preoperative data between the two groups after PSM. Compared with the control group, the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (31.6% vs. 5.3%), abdominal infection(29.0% vs. 7.9%) and Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ-Ⅴ complications(31.6% vs.7.9%) were statistically different(χ(2)=7.092,P=0.008; χ(2)=4.290,P=0.038; χ(2)=5.316,P=0.021), respectively. According to the AUC on POD3,the blood glucose value ≥8.860 mmol/L was an independent risk factor for pancreatic fistula with sensitivity of 58.3% and specificity of 76.9%,the blood glucose value ≥9.130 mmol/L was an independent risk factor for abdominal infection with sensitivity of 54.5% and specificity of 81.5% and the blood glucose value ≥7.685 mmol/L was independent risk factor of Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ-Ⅴ complications with sensitivity of 75.0% and specificity of 57.7%. Conclusions: Postoperative hyperglycemia in non-diabetic patients is associated with postoperative pancreatic fistula, abdominal infection, and Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ-Ⅴ complications.According to the early postoperative blood glucose value,the occurrence of postoperative pancreatic fistula, abdominal infection and Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ- Ⅴ complications can be effectively predicted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate risk factors associated with right paraesophageal lymph node (RPELN) metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and to determine the indications for right lymph node dissection. METHODS Clinicopathologic data from 829 patients (104 men and 725 women) with PTC, operated on by the same thyroid surgery team at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2013 to May 2017, were analyzed. Overall, 309 patients underwent total thyroidectomy with bilateral lymph node dissection, 488 underwent right thyroid lobe and isthmic resection with right central compartment lymph node dissection, and 32 underwent near-total thyroidectomy (ipsilateral thyroid lobectomy with contralateral near-total lobectomy) with bilateral lymph node dissection. RESULTS The overall rate of central compartment lymph node metastasis was 43.5% (361/829), with right central compartment lymph node and RPELN metastasis rates of 35.5% (294/829) and 19.1% (158/829), respectively. Tumor size, number, invasion, and location, lymph node metastasis, right central compartment lymph node metastasis, and right lateral compartment lymph node metastasis were associated with RPELN in the univariate analysis, whereas age and sex were not. Multivariate analysis identified tumors with a diameter ≥ 1 cm, multiple tumors, tumors located in the right lobe, right central compartment lymph node metastasis, and right lateral compartment lymph node metastasis as independent risk factors for RPELN metastasis. CONCLUSIONS Lymph node dissection, including RPELN dissection, should be performed for patients with PTC with a tumor diameter ≥ 1 cm, multiple tumors, right-lobe tumors, right central compartment lymph node metastasis, or suspected lateral compartment lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
Surgery is an important part of medicine, it has undergone huge changes in recent decades in China.The concepts of damage control surgery, minimally invasive surgery, and enhanced recovery after surgery are all new with the date, laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery, natural orifice transluminalendoscopic surgery are not new words to all of us. Surgical operations are becoming more and more specialized, surgical technique is becoming more and more mature, and surgeons are becoming more and more specialized. Medical ethical issues, as the common language of surgeons and basic principle of surgery, should be recognized and understood more stronger than ever, which will enable surgeons to retrieve original intention of surgery. This paper takes this as starting point and explore the common principles of surgery, aims to arouse some mutual encouragement to growing youth surgeons.

Abstract
Atom probe tomography (APT) coupling high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) was used to analyze the fraction and compositions of different nanoparticles in two-stage double peaks aging process of Al-Zn-Mg alloy. Al content is found to be closely related to the size of nanoparticles and it can be greater than ~ 50.0 at. % in the nanoparticle with the equivalent radius under ~ 3.0 nm. Correspondingly, Al content of the nanoparticle, with the equivalent radius over ~ 5.0 nm, is measured under ~ 40.0 at. %. Evolution from Guinier-Preston (G.P.) zone to η phase is a growing process where Mg and Zn atoms enter the nanoparticle, therefore rejecting Al atoms. G.P. zones can take up a number fraction of ~ 85.0 and ~ 22.7% of nanoparticles in the first and second peak-aged samples, respectively, and even in the over-aged (T73) sample, they can still be found. As aging time increases, fraction of η' phases monotonically rises to the peak value (~ 54.5%) in the second peak-aged state and then drops, which is significant for the second hardness peak and directly proves their function as the transitional medium. In T73 state, ~ 63.3% nanoparticles compose of η phases, which were measured to still contain ~ 10.2 to ~ 36.4 at. % Al atoms.

Abstract
Fires resulting from titanium combustion are complex and violent processes which can instantly burn a titanium alloy once ignited. The occurrence of titanium combustion is a disaster for aircraft. Accurate measurement of the ignition temperature of titanium alloys is of significance in preventing such fires and in investigating combustion-resistance properties. In this study, monochromatic temperature and emissivity measurement methods based on reflectivity detection were used to determine the ignition temperature of a titanium alloy. Experiments were carried out using a titanium burning apparatus. The temperatures of titanium in the oxidation stage before ignition and in the combustion stage during the ignition process were measured using wavelengths of 1050 nm and 940 nm, respectively. Experimental results showed that the ignition temperature of the titanium alloy could be measured by reflectivity detection and that measurement precision during thermal oxidation (500-900 °C) was ±1 °C. The temperature of the ignition process ranged between 1653 and 1857 °C, and the ignition temperature was around 1680 °C.

Abstract
Objective: To study the prognostic factors of delayed gastric emptying(DGE) after pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD) and construct a prognostic predictive model for clinical application. Methods: Clinic data of 401 consecutive patients who underwent PD between January 2012 and July 2016 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The patients were randomly selected to modeling group(n=299) and validation group(n=102) at a ratio of 3∶1. The data of modeling group were subjected to univariate and multivariate analysis for prognostic factors and to construct a prognostic predictive model of DGE after PD. The data of validation group were applied to test the prognostic predictive model. Results: DGE after PD occurred in 35 of 299 patients(11.7%) in the modeling group. The multivariate analysis of the modeling group showed that upper abdominal operation history(χ(2)=6.533, P=0.011), diabetes mellitus(χ(2)=17.872, P=0.000), preoperative hemoglobin <90 g/L(χ(2)=14.608, P=0.000) and pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy(PPPD)(χ(2)=8.811, P=0.003) were associated with DGE after PD independently. A prognostic predictive model of DGE after PD was constructed based on these factors and successfully tested. The area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was 0.761(95%CI: 0.666-0.856) of the modeling group and 0.750(95% CI: 0.577-0.923) of the validation group. Conclusions: Upper abdominal operation history, diabetes mellitus, preoperative hemoglobin<90 g/L and PPPD are associated with DGE after PD independently. The preoperative assessment of a patient's prognostic for DGE after PD is feasible. The model is a valid tool to take precautions against DGE after PD.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the experience and prognostic factors associated with the employment of the step-up approach in the treatment of local complications secondary to severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods: The clinical data of 279 patients admitted to the Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2011 to December 2015, whose local complications secondary to SAP were treated in a staged step-up framework, were retrospectively analyzed.For patients with documented or suspected infected pancreatic necrosis or gastrointestinal tract obstruction, some non-surgical interventions were initialed with the aim of postponing the timing of surgery to the forth week from the onset of SAP.The first-step intervention was a percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) under the guidance of ultrasound. A minimal access retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy, representing the second-step intervention, was conducted when PCD had failed. Finally, an open necrosectomy (the third-step intervention) was immediately resorted to when all of previous minimal invasive interventions had failed.Normally distributed quantitative variables were analyzed by t-test, non-normally distributed quantitative variables were analyzed by Wilcoxon chi-square test and categorical variables were analyzed by χ2 test or Fisher's exact test.A multivariable Logistic regression analytic model was established to figure out the prognostic factors that were independently associated with the requirement of debridement in addition to drainage procedure during the staged step-up framework of patients with local complications secondary to SAP. Results: The initial interventions in this series were performed at 12 d (9-22 d) from the on-set of SAP and 104 cases (37.3%) were cured with ultrasound guided PCD alone.There were 152 cases (54.5%) cured by debridement in addition to PCD with the time interval of 30 d (25 to 44 d) since the on-set of the disease.The overall incidence of postoperative complications was 22.6% (63 cases) and in-hospital mortality was 8.2% (23 cases) in the present series.Multiple organ failures(MOF)(P<0.01, OR=3.15), heterogeneous collections (P<0.01, OR=2.40) and tertiary transfer (P=0.03, OR=1.80) were verified as the prognostic factors that were independently associated with the requirement of debridement in addition to PCD during the staged step-up framework of patients with local complications secondary to SAP. Conclusions: The staged step-up framework is a promising innovation that complies well with the era of minimal invasive surgery and is optimally suitable for the surgical interventions against SAP.MOF, heterogeneous collections and tertiary transfer are the prognostic factors that are independently associated with the requirement of debridement in addition to PCD during the staged step-up framework of patients with local complications secondary to SAP.

Abstract
In China, there are four types of liver abscesses (LAs) that meet the clinical criteria. Pyogenic liver abscesses (PLAs) and amoebic liver abscesses (ALAs) are two of the most common types of abscesses, followed by fungal liver abscesses (FLAs) and hydatid secondary liver abscesses (HsLAs). Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with the development of PLAs. However, there is a lack of population-based studies that have evaluated the underlying relationship between LAs (mainly PLAs and FLAs) and DM. We conducted a retrospective study based on a large population to identify the potential differences and factors that affect the mortality of PLA patients in DM and non-DM groups. Our results revealed that the prevalence of DM is 44.3% (158/357) in PLA patients and 35.3% (18/51) in FLA patients. Compared with the non-DM patients, statistically significant differences were found in DM patients according to symptomatology, clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, microbiological characteristics, antimicrobial resistance, clinical treatments and outcomes in relation to mortality. In addition, the status of antibiotic resistance to E. coli and K. pneumoniae, which were isolated from the patient samples, is severe in the area in which the study was conducted. Regarding the treatment of PLAs, our study indicated that broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy and drug combinations should be recommended and initiated before the pathogens are cultured and identified. In the clinic, therapies that combine percutaneous drainage with antibiotics and surgery with antibiotics are the two most useful strategies for treating an LA. These two combined treatments resulted in satisfactory cure rates. In the DM and non-DM groups, the cure rates for percutaneous drainage with antibiotics were 90.3% and 92.0%, respectively, and the cure rates for surgery with antibiotics were 93.9% and 95.2%, respectively.

Abstract
We propose a second renormalization group method to handle the tensor-network states or models. This method dramatically reduces the truncation error of the tensor renormalization group. It allows physical quantities of classical tensor-network models or tensor-network ground states of quantum systems to be accurately and efficiently determined.

Abstract
We numerically study the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the kagome lattice using the density-matrix renormalization group method. We find that the ground state is a magnetically disordered spin liquid, characterized by an exponential decay of spin-spin correlation function in real space and a magnetic structure factor showing system-size independent peaks at commensurate magnetic wave vectors. We obtain a spin triplet excitation gap DeltaE(S=1)=0.055+/-0.005 by extrapolation based on the large size results, and confirm the presence of gapless singlet excitations. The physical nature of such an exotic spin liquid is also discussed.

Abstract
We have proposed a novel numerical method to calculate accurately physical quantities of the ground state using the tensor network wave function in two dimensions. The tensor network wave function is determined by an iterative projection approach which uses the Trotter-Suzuki decomposition formula of quantum operators and the singular value decomposition of matrix. The norm of the wave function and the expectation value of a physical observable are evaluated by a coarse-grain tensor renormalization group approach. Our method allows a tensor network wave function with a high bond degree of freedom (such as D=8) to be handled accurately and efficiently in the thermodynamic limit. For the Heisenberg model on a honeycomb lattice, our results for the ground state energy and the staggered magnetization agree well with those obtained by the quantum Monte Carlo and other approaches.

Abstract
AIM Six cases of hemophilia A treated with living related donated splenic transplantation (LRDST) were performed over 10 years. METHODS We reviewed the six consecutive cases of LRDST from 1992 to 2002. Three patients received whole spleen allografts and the other three, partial spleen allografts. All allografts were transplanted to the extraperitoneal space in the right iliac fossa by an end-to-end anastomosis between the splenic artery and the internal iliac artery and an end-to-side anastomosis between the splenic vein and the external (or common) iliac vein. After the operation, a combined regimen with cyclosporine, azathioprine, anti-lymphocyte globulin, OKT3, was administered to suppress the immune reaction. RESULTS The functional period of the allografts varied between 30 days to 4 years. Patient factor-VIII (F-VIII) levels rose from less than 5% before operation to 15% to 56% postoperatively. One patient died from central nervous system complications. Another lost his graft because exogenous F-VIII was not supplemented in timely fashion at the onset of rejection. And the third could no longer afford the expensive immunosuppressive drugs at 2 years after the operation and eventually lost the spleen. The remaining three patients presently have regained self-support, among whom one has survived for 4 years. CONCLUSION Though the sample pool is relatively small, our clinical observations tend to confirm LRDST as a feasible, effective treatment for hemophilia A.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because standardization of the cell microencapsulation procedure has not yet been achieved, we performed hepatocyte microencapsulation using alginate (ALG)-poly-l-lysine (PLL)-ALG (APA) polymer. METHODS Hepatocytes were microencapsulated using a binozzle air-jet droplet generator. Our study aims were to: (1) clarify how ALG concentration affects the quality of ALG beads; (2) determine how the PLL concentration affects the quality of microcapsules (MCs); (3) ascertain the influence of liquefaction time by sodium citrate (SC) on the quality of the MCs; (4) and clarify how temperature and solution pH, respectively, affect the viability of the hepatocytes inside the MCs. RESULTS The concentration of ALG must be > or = 3% (w/v) to generate droplets with satisfactory homogeneity in size and roundness (P < .01). The total quantity of PLL molecules is the essential component for MCs (P < .01). As our results show, the numeric ratio of PLL (milligrams) to MCs (milliliters) is roughly 25:1. SC incubation for 8 minutes resulted in the proper thickness of the MC wall; however, the time varied according to the size of the MCs (P < .05). Temperature and pH, although both difficult to control, exerted great influences on cell viability: 4 degrees C and pH 7.2 were found to be optimal by this study (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Concentrations of ALG and PLL exerted decisive effects on the quality and strength of MCs. Higher concentrations were suggested. Because temperature and pH greatly affected cell viability, they must be properly monitored.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates light and electron microscopic changes in neurons in the myenteric plexus of the rat ileum following four-hour ischemia. Macroscopically, an intestinal constriction occurred at the damaged portion at three weeks after ischemia; the segment oral to the constriction markedly swelled at four weeks. In light microscopy, at three weeks after ischemia, the myenteric neurons appeared spongy or foamy, containing many vacuoles in their somatic cytoplasm. At four weeks, the neuronal cytoplasm and nerve fiber bundles had disintegrated to form vacant spaces in the myenteric plexus. The neuronal nucleus of the damaged plexus did not show positive nick-end labeling. In electron microscopy, neuronal cytoplasm revealed degenerative signs already at one week after ischemia: a distended endoplasmic reticulum and swollen mitochondria with fragmentary cristae. The nerve fibers also showed destruction of the mitochondria, and degenerative changes in the postsynaptic sites appeared earlier than the presynaptic terminals. The results suggest that intestinal ischemia causes delayed neuronal death, which differs from the apoptotic process previously demonstrated in the ischemia-damaged brain.

Abstract
A case of severe hemophilia A was treated by living mother-to-son splenic transplantation. The recipient was a 9-year-old boy. After splenic transplantation, the level of blood factor VIII:C was increased, and no spontaneous hemorrhage occurred. The boy was followed up for over two years. This is a case of spleen allotransplantation with the longest function in the world.
