Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of antibiotic bone cement combined with vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) in treating diabetes mellitus complicated with necrotizing fasciitis. Methods: The retrospective observational study approach was used. From January 2020 to March 2022, 12 patients with type 2 diabetes complicated with necrotizing fasciitis who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Wuxi Ninth People's Hospital, including 7 males and 5 females, aged 27 to 76 years. The initial diagnosis of lesions was in the lower limbs. After admission, bedside incision and drainage were performed timely, and a sample of wound exudate was collected for microbial cultivation. At the same time, the comprehensive supportive treatment was performed. At stage Ⅰ, debridement was performed, and the skin and soft tissue defect area was 40 cm×15 cm to 80 cm×25 cm after debridement. The dead space was filled with bone cement containing gentamicin and vancomycin and VSD was performed. After there was no obvious infection on the wound, the antibiotic bone cement was removed and wound repair surgery was performed at stage Ⅱ. The times of debridement, amputation, infection control, wound treatment method and wound healing at stage Ⅱ, total hospitalization day, and recurrence of necrotizing fasciitis during follow-up after the stage Ⅱ surgery. At the last follow-up, the walking function of patients was evaluated according to the scoring standards of American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Association (AOFAS). Results: Eleven patients had wound infection control with one debridement surgery and did not undergo amputation surgery; one patient had significant foot gangrene, and the infection was controlled after one debridement and amputation of the gangrenous limb. Blood routine and infection indicators gradually returned to normal within 7 days after surgery. At stage Ⅱ, the wounds in 4 patients were sutured directly, the wounds in 6 patients were repaired with full-thickness inguinal skin graft, while the wounds in 2 patients were repaired with pedicled or tongue-shaped flaps at the wound edge. The wounds healed well after surgery, with no ulceration. The total hospitalization day of patients was 20 to 45 days. Follow-up for 3 to 24 months after stage Ⅱ surgery showed no recurrence of necrotizing fasciitis in any patient. At the last follow-up, the walking function was evaluated as excellent in 10 cases and good in 2 cases according to the AOFAS scoring standard. Conclusions: Antibiotic bone cement combined with VSD used in treating type 2 diabetes complicated with necrotizing fasciitis can effectively control infection and reduce the times of debridement, with good wound healing and walking function after surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of pedicled flap combined with membrane induction technique in repairing foot and ankle wounds in diabetic patients. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From March 2019 to July 2021, 12 patients with diabetic foot and ankle wounds who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Wuxi Ninth People's Hospital, including 7 males and 5 females, aged 20 to 92 years. The wound area before debridement was 4.0 cm×2.5 cm to 16.0 cm×12.5 cm. The patients underwent debridement+antibiotic cement tamponade in stage Ⅰ; according to the wound site, peroneal artery perforator flap or posterior tibial artery perforator flap was chosen to repair the wound in stage Ⅱ, with the area of the resected flap ranging from 4.5 cm×3.0 cm to 18.5 cm×14.0 cm. The donor site was directly closed in 4 patients or covered by full-thickness inguinal skin graft in 8 patients. After the operation of stage Ⅱ, the survival of flap and skin graft, the scar in donor and recipient sites of flap, the appearance of flap, and the function of ankle joint of affected extremity were followed up. The recovery of foot and ankle function was evaluated and rated by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Scoring System at the last follow-up. Results: During the follow-up of 4 to 15 months after the operation of stage Ⅱ, both the flap and skin graft survived, without obvious infection recurrence. Linear scars were left in donor and recipient sites of flap, with good appearance in flap. The function of ankle joint in the affected extremity was nearly normal. At the last follow-up, the AOFAS scores of patients were 79 to 93, with excellent in 8 cases and good in 4 cases. Conclusions: The pedicled flap combined with membrane induction technique for repairing foot and ankle wounds in diabetic patients has the advantage of simple operation, preserved ankle joint function, and less postoperative infection recurrence, which is worth popularizing in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is one of the most lethal carcinomas, and the current histopathological classifications are of limited use in clinical decision-making. There is an unmet need to identify new biomarkers for prognosis-informative molecular subtyping and ultimately for precision medicine. METHODS We profiled genomic alterations for 608 PAAD patients in a Chinese cohort, including somatic mutations, pathogenic germline variants and copy number variations (CNV). Using the CNV information, we performed unsupervised consensus clustering of these patients, differential CNV analysis and functional/pathway enrichment analysis. Cox regression was conducted for progression-free survival analysis, the elastic net algorithm used for prognostic model construction, and rank-based gene set enrichment analysis for exploring tumor microenvironments. FINDINGS Our data did not support prognostic value of point mutations in either highly mutated genes (such as KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A and SMAD4) or homologous recombination repair genes. Instead, associated with worse prognosis were amplified genes involved in DNA repair and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) related signalings. Motivated by this observation, we categorized patients into four molecular subtypes (namely repair-deficient, proliferation-active, repair-proficient and repair-enhanced) that differed in prognosis, and also constructed a prognostic model that can stratify patients with low or high risk of relapse. Finally, we analyzed publicly available datasets, not only reinforcing the prognostic value of our identified genes in DNA repair and RTK related signalings, but also identifying tumor microenvironment correlates with prognostic risks. INTERPRETATION Together with the evidence from genomic footprint analysis, we suggest that repair-deficient and proliferation-active subtypes are better suited for DNA damage therapies, while immunotherapy is highly recommended for repair-proficient and repair-enhanced subtypes. Our results represent a significant step in molecular subtyping, diagnosis and management for PAAD patients.

Abstract
Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) combined with vascular resection and reconstruction under robotic surgery system in the treatment of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. Methods The clinical data of 17 patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer who underwent PD combined with vascular resection and reconstruction (see the Video 1 in Supplemental Contents, http://ykxb.scu.edu.cn/article/doi/10.12182/20200760202) under robotic surgery system between August 2011 and September 2018 was analyzed retrospectively. Results There were 4 cases required conversion because of serious tumor invasion and soft pancreas texture, the other 13 cases were successfully completed. 16 cases (94%) achieved margin-negative resection (R0 resection), 14 cases combined with vein resection, and 3 cases combined with arterial resection. The mean operation time was (401±170) min, the mean blood loss was (647±345) mL, the mean postoperative length of hospital stay was (20±8) d. There was no perioperative death. Postoperative pathology findings and follow-up outcomes were as follows: 1 patient was diagnosed as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and 1 patient was diagnosed as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) (Grade 1), 8 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). 1 patient with pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PNEC) died because of tumor recurrence and metastasis during the follow-up period, the median (Min-Max) survival time was 12 (8-26) months. 5 patients with PDAC and 1 patient with malignant IPMN were currently in the follow-up period. Conclusion It is safe and feasible to perform RPD with vascular resection and reconstruction. The patient's condition should be fully evaluated before surgery to select the most appropriate treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our study examined the association between molecular features and clinical results of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients, aiming to explore the genomic determinants of the recurrence and prognosis of PDAC after surgical removal. METHODS This retrospective study analyzed 181 PDAC patients who received pancreatectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy, with 67 patients in the training set. An internal validation set of 48 patients and an external validation set of 66 patients were used to validate the result. Comprehensive genomic profiling was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimens to determine genomic features using the designed cancer-related gene panel based on next-generation sequencing (NGS). RESULTS Significant differences were identified between the late recurrence (LR) group and early recurrence (ER) group in tumor copy number instability (CNI) levels. Next, the utility of low CNI (the middle and lowest tertile) with regard to predicting LR was confirmed in the training, internal, and external validation sets. Further univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that CNI was an independent predictive and prognostic biomarker, and had higher predictive accuracy for LR than CA19-9 level, pathological stage, tumor size, and age. In addition, CNI combined with lymph node (LN) metastasis status could provide a more accurate model for predicting LR of PDAC. CONCLUSION We discovered and validated the association between CNI and clinical outcome in 181 patients with resectable PDAC, demonstrating the utility of lower tumor CNI levels as biomarkers of postoperative LR and favorable prognosis. Moreover, the combination of CNI and LN metastasis status elevated the predictive accuracy and illuminated strategies for patient stratification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies presented controversies in impact of body mass index (BMI) on perioperative complications in pancreatectomy, and mainly focused on Western population. This study aimed to explore the impact of BMI on perioperative outcomes in Chinese patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS Seven hundred and seven adult patients undergoing open pancreaticoduodenectomy between January 2005 and December 2016 at Ruijin Hospital were studied retrospectively and categorized as obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2), overweight (BMI ≥23 kg/m2 and <25 kg/m2), or normal weight (BMI ≥18.5 kg/m2 and <23 kg/m2). Associations of these BMI groups with perioperative outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS The overweight and obese groups experienced higher risk of clinically related postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) (7.6% vs. 9.9% vs. 17.6%, P = 0.002) and re-operation (1.1% vs. 2.5% vs. 5.1%, P = 0.017), and longer systemic inflammation response syndrome (SIRS) duration [2 (1-9) d vs. 2 (1-7) d vs. 3 (1-10) d, P = 0.003] and postoperative hospital stay [19 (2-84) d vs. 19 (7-158) d vs. 23 (8-121) d, P = 0.023] than the normal weight group did. The multiple logistic regression models showed obese as an independent risk factor for CR-POPF (P = 0.013). The multiple linear regression analysis confirmed BMI as a predictor for prolonged postoperative hospital stay (P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Higher BMI results in higher morbidity of Chinese patients undergoing open pancreaticoduodenectomy. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is still a safe surgery procedure for overweight and obese patients, with intensive perioperative management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic surgery is the most advanced minimally invasive technique for the treatment of complicated solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPT). The aim of this study is to evaluate feasibility of robotic surgery for the treatment of SPTs in the pancreatic head. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 83 SPTs in pancreatic head was conducted. Clinical characteristics were extracted and propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare and evaluate mid-term outcomes of the two techniques. RESULTS Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), duodenum-preserving partial pancreatic head resection (DPPHR-P) and tumor enucleation (En) were performed in 51, 24, and 8 patients, respectively. The robotic approach was associated with a significantly lower volume of blood loss, lower need for transfusion, and faster time to post-surgery recovery. Major complications and costs were comparable for both techniques. CONCLUSION A robotic approach provides an alternative to open surgery for SPTs in the pancreatic head without increasing the incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (CRPF) or other major complications and with good patient outcomes.

Abstract
In the present study, we focused on the expression and biological functions of TMEM45B in pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to examine the expression levels of TMEM45B in pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines. The functions of TMEM45B were evaluated using CCK-8, flow cytometry and transwell analysis. Our results showed that TMEM45B exhibited high expression in pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines compared with the normal pancreatic tissues and cells. Using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), we found that TMEM45B may regulate multiple genes involved in the cell cycle and metastasis pathways. Downregulation of TMEM45B by RNA interference significantly reduced proliferation, invasion and migration of SW1990 and PANC-1 cells, accompanied by the induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, whereas overexpression of TMEM45B promoted proliferation, invasion and migration of CFPAC-1 cells as well as apoptosis inhibition. Taken together, our study provides evidence that TMEM45B is an oncogene involved in the tumorigenesis of pancreatic cancer and may represent a new molecular target for pancreatic cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammatory response and nutritional status are important to the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the combination of preoperative hemoglobin, lymphocyte, albumin, and neutrophil (HLAN) in patients with locally advanced CRC (LACRC). MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis in 536 LACRC patients undergoing radical surgery. The value of HLAN was defined as follow: HLAN=Hemoglobin (g/L)×Lymphocyte (/L)×Albumin (g/L)/Neutrophil (/L)/100. The X-tile program was used to determine the optimal cut-point of HLAN, and the prognostic value of HLAN for overall survival (OS) was evaluated with the Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS The cut-point of HLAN was set at 19.5. Compared with the high-HLAN group, the low-HLAN group had a 1.50-fold (95% confidence interval 1.09-2.05) increased risk of death and a significantly lower OS rate (P<0.001). Furthermore, the risk stratification model based on HLAN (AUC=0.72) displayed better accuracy in OS prediction than the TNM system (AUC=0.61). CONCLUSIONS HLAN is a valuable prognostic marker for patients with LACRC.

Abstract
Background: The optimal surgical management of nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNETs) is still controversial. Here, we evaluated the impact of lymph node status on postoperative recurrence in patients with NF-PNET and the potential of preoperative variables for predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM). Methods: In this mono-institutional retrospective cohort study conducted in 100 consecutive patients who underwent NF-PNET resection between January 2004 and December 2014, we evaluated risk factors for survival using the Kaplan–Meier method and the Cox regression model. Predictors of LNM were evaluated using the logistic regression model, and the power of predictive models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results: Five-year disease-free survival of resected NF-PNET was 64.1%. LNM was independently associated with postoperative recurrence (hazard ratio = 3.995, P = 0.003). Multivariate analysis revealed tumor grade as an independent factor associated with LNM (G2 vs. G1: odds ratio [OR] =6.287, P = 0.008; G3 vs. G1: OR = 12.407, P = 0.001). When tumor grade was excluded, radiological tumor diameter >2.5 cm (OR = 5.430, P = 0.013) and presence of symptoms (OR = 3.366, P = 0.039) were significantly associated with LNM. Compared to neoplasms with radiological diameter >2.5 cm (32.1%), tumors ≤2.5 cm had an obviously lower risk of LNM (7.7%), indicating the reliability of this parameter in predicting LNM (area under the curve, 0.693). Incidentally discovered NF-PNETs ≤2.5 cm were associated with a low-risk of LNM and excellent survival. Conclusions: LNM is significantly associated with postoperative recurrence. Radiological tumor diameter is a reliable predictor of LNM in NF-PNETs. Our results indicate that lymphadenectomy in small (≤2.5 cm) NF-PNETs is not routinely necessary.

Abstract
Objectives The cytotoxicity induced by cobalt ions (Co2+) and cobalt nanoparticles (Co-NPs) which released following the insertion of a total hip prosthesis, has been reported. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms. In this study, we investigate the toxic effect of Co2+ and Co-NPs on liver cells, and explain further the potential mechanisms. Methods Co-NPs were characterised for size, shape, elemental analysis, and hydrodynamic diameter, and were assessed by Transmission Electron Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy and Dynamic Light Scattering. BRL-3A cells were used in this study. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT and lactate dehydrogenase release assay. In order to clarify the potential mechanisms, reactive oxygen species, Bax/Bcl-2 mRNA expression, IL-8 mRNA expression and DNA damage were assessed on BRL-3A cells after Co2+ or Co-NPs treatment. Results Results showed cytotoxic effects of Co2+ and Co-NPs were dependent upon time and dosage, and the cytotoxicity of Co-NPs was greater than that of Co2+. In addition, Co-NPs elicited a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in cell viability with a concomitant increase in lactic dehydrogenase release, reactive oxygen species generation, IL-8 mRNA expression, Bax/Bcl-2 mRNA expression and DNA damage after 24 hours of exposure. Conclusion Co-NPs induced greater cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in BRL-3A cells than Co2+. Cell membrane damage, oxidative stress, immune inflammation and DNA damage may play an important role in the effects of Co-NPs on liver cells. Cite this article: Y. K. Liu, X. X. Deng, H.L. Yang.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robot-assisted laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is a novel minimally invasive surgery technique, and its effectiveness and safety remain unknown in patients with borderline malignant or malignant diseases. This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of RLPD versus open PD (OPD). METHODS Between January 2010 and December 2013, 180 eligible patients were prospectively hospitalized for elective RLPD (n = 60) or OPD (n = 120). They were matched for tumor location, tumor type, tumor size, ASA classification, age, and sex. The main outcome measures included demographics, intraoperative variables, morbidity, postoperative recovery, and mid-term evaluation. RESULTS Over the study period, the RLPD group had a significantly longer but decreasing operative time (median 410 vs. 323 min; P < 0.001), less blood loss (median 400 vs. 500 mL; P = 0.005), better nutritional status recovery, expedited off-bed return to activity (3.2 vs. 4.8 d; P < 0.001), faster resumption of bowel movement (3.6 vs. 5.2 d; P < 0.001), and shorter hospital stay (20 vs. 25 d; P = 0.002) compared to the OPD group. The two groups had similar surgical morbidities and mortality as well as R0 resection rate and number of lymph nodes resected. Among patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, the two groups had similar overall and disease-free survival (ACTRN12614000299606). CONCLUSIONS This first largest, prospective matched study demonstrated that for treating selected borderline and malignant pathologies, RLPD was associated with a significant learning curve effect and expedited postoperative recovery, but had a surgical and oncological safety profile similar to OPD.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a malignant neoplasm originating from transformed cells arising in tissues that form the pancreas. To investigate whether the tribbles homolog 1 (Drosophila) gene (TRIB1) is associated with pancreatic cancer in the Chinese Han population, we conducted this case-control study and genotyped 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs2980879, rs2980874, and rs2235108) of the TRIB1 gene in 182 patients and 359 normal controls of Chinese Han origin and analyzed their association. The results showed that the rs2980879 polymorphism was associated with pancreatic cancer [allele: P = 0.023434, genotype: P = 0.03005; odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.727788 (0.552664-0.958404)], whereas the rs2980874 polymorphism had no association with pancreatic cancer [allele: P = 0.749885, genotype: P = 0.699533; OR and 95%CI = 1.041981 (0.809196-1.341734)], and the rs2235108 polymorphism was not associated with the disease [allele: P = 0.629475, genotype: P = 0.547534, OR and 95%CI = 1.128290 (0.690829-1.842770)]. Haplotype analyses and linkage disequilibrium tests were also conducted, and the results showed that these 3 loci are not in the same block. In conclusion, our study indicated that the TRIB1 gene is associated with pancreatic cancer. More studies with larger samples are needed in order to support this finding.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the pharmacokinetics of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) in liver transplant recipients early after transplantation.
METHODS: Twenty-five liver transplant recipient received tacrolimus and EC-MPS (720 mg, twice daily). Mycophenolic acid (MPA) concentrations were measured by high performance liquid chromalography (HPLC) before dosing (C0 h) and at 0.5 h (C0.5 h), 1 h (C1 h), 1.5 h (C1.5 h), 2 h (C2 h), 4 h (C4 h), 6 h (C6 h), 8 h (C8 h), 10 h (C10 h), and 12 h (C12 h) after dosing between days 7 and 21 postoperatively. Meanwhile, trough concentration (C0 h) of FK506, hepatic and renal function and blood cell counts were also measured. The WinNonlin software was used to calculate the area of concentration-time under the curve (AUC).
RESULTS: The average MPA-AUC0-12h was 40.36 (µg•h)/mL ± 17.20 (µg•h)/mL. The Cmax was 17.037 mg/L ± 7.632 mg/L, and the Tmax was 3.06 h ± 1.50 h. Individual concentrations of MPA-C0 h-C12 h were not significantly related with MPA-AUC0-12 h (r2 < 0.75). FK506-C0 h, serum albumin level and Cr-CL were not significantly correlated with MPA-AUC0-12 h (all P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The variability of MPA-AUC0-12 h is significant in liver transplant recipients early after transplantation. Single time-point MPA concentration can not reflect MPA-AUC0-12 h effectively. MPA-AUC0-12 h is less influenced by FK506 concentration, serum albumin and creatinine clearance.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical significance of reversion-inducing-cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK) promoter methylation in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction was used to examine the promoter methylation status of RECK in 60 pairs of PDA tissue samples and adjacent non-cancerous tissue samples. Statistical analyses were applied to test the associations between RECK promoter methylation status, clinicopathologic factors, and prognosis. The rate of RECK promoter methylation was significantly higher in PDA tissues than in adjacent non-cancerous tissues (P < 0.001). RECK methylation status was significantly associated with clinical stage (P = 0.017), histological differentiation (P = 0.046), and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.003), but was not associated with gender, age, and tumor location (all P > 0.05). Additionally, RECK promoter methylation is associated with malignant behavior and poor prognosis. In conclusion, determination of RECK promoter methylation status in tumor tissues may assist in the identification of patients who require aggressive postoperative intervention in order to improve prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our purpose was to assess the clinicopathological features and surgical outcomes of combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (HCC-CC) in an Asian center. METHODS Between 1998 and 2009, 27 patients were diagnosed with combined HCC-CC at our hospital. Their medical records were reviewed and clinicopathological data retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS The 27 patients included 24 (88.9%) males and 3 (11.1%) females with a mean age of 58.26 ± 11.18 years. Cirrhosis was present in 10 patients (37.0%), and 12 patients had hepatitis C or hepatitis B virus infection. Serum alpha fetoprotein was >20 ng/ml in 7 of the 19 patients in whom it was measured (36.8%). Twenty-five patients underwent hepatic resections and 2 received liver transplantations. Five (18.5%) patients had separate HCC and CC within the same liver (type I), 21 (77.8%) had tumors with mixed components (type II), and 1 patient had a type III tumor (3.7%). Of 22 patients with immunohistochemical data, 19 (86.4%) were cytokeratin (CK) 7-positive, 20 (90.9%) were CK19-positive, and 4 (18.2%) were CK20-positive. Mean follow-up was 25.8 months. The 1- and 2-year survival rates were 72.5 and 49.4%, respectively. The 1- and 2-year disease-free survival rates were 54.2 and 41.3%, respectively. Symptoms at the time of diagnosis, and regional lymph node metastases, were associated with higher mortality and recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Lymph node metastasis and positive resection margins are important factors affecting HCC-CC surgical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few reports of robot-assisted pancreatic surgery. Our purpose was to report our surgical and clinical experiences and outcomes of 47 cases of robot-assisted pancreatic resection to show that minimally invasive pancreatic surgery is both feasible and effective. METHODS The medical records of 47 patients who underwent robot-assisted pancreatic resections for adenocarcinoma, cystic tumours or other pancreatic diseases at our institution by a single surgical team from March 2010 to December 2011 were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS There were 32 females and 15 males with a mean age of 48.7 ± 15.4 years, of whom 13 patients had pathologically diagnosed malignancies, 25 had cystic tumours or chronic pancreatitis, three had solid pseudopapillary tumours of pancreas, and six had other lesions. Sixteen patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy, 16 distal pancreatectomies (nine of which had spleen resections), 10 middle pancreatectomies, four Beger's procedure, and one had enucleation of a pancreatic lesion. The mean surgical time was 299.2 ± 133.5 (range 70-540) min and mean blood loss was 431.8 ± 309.0 (range 50-1100) ml. Nine patients required a blood transfusion (mean transfusion volume 597.2 ± 543.3 ml). There were no conversions to laparotomy. The mean hospital stay was 29.4 ± 9.1 (range 8-41) days. Pancreatic fistula occurred in 20 cases, anastomotic bleeding in three patients and anastomotic leakage in one patient. Two patients, one who received a PD and one who received a distal pancreatectomy, required a second surgery. All other complications were resolved with conservative management. Surgical margins were negative in all cases, with a postoperative histopathological diagnosis of malignancy. Eleven of the 13 patients with malignancies were alive and well without recurrence at the time of publication, while two patients died. CONCLUSIONS Our series of 47 robot-assisted pancreatic resections adds further evidence that this technique is feasible and effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) has been accepted as a valid surgical alternative to more extensive standard resections for the treatment of benign and low malignant tumors at the head of the pancreas. In this article, a new minimally invasive operation, the robot-assisted laparoscopic technique, is introduced for this procedure. METHODS From March 2010 to Dec 2010, four patients (three women and one man), with a mean age of 42.3 years (range: 21-62 years), underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic DPPHR at the Hepato-Bilio-Pancreatic Surgical Department of Rui Jin Hospital in Shanghai, China. The preoperative symptoms include two cases of repeated upper abdominal pain, one case with no obvious preoperative symptoms, and one case of repeated hypoglycemia. The da Vinci Surgical System was used to perform the main steps of the operation. All patients underwent a pancreaticogastrostomy for pancreaticoenteric reconstruction to the distal stump. RESULTS All four surgeries were successfully performed. There were no deaths. The mean operative time was 298.8 (270-335) min, average blood loss was 425 ml (range: 100-600 ml). The mean postoperative hospital stay was 26.8 days (range: 20-30 days). The one patient with an islet cell tumor has had normal blood glucose levels since the operation, and the other three patients have had no hyperglycemia. Three of the patients developed a pancreatic fistula that was cured by conservative treatment. CONCLUSIONS The robotic surgical system is technically fully capable of performing the complex DPPHR procedure with an acceptable range of surgical complications. It breaks through the bottleneck of the traditional laparoscopic technology and expands the range of its applications. However, this new technology is still at an exploratory stage, and the long-term effect remains to be validated by additional clinical data.

Abstract
Developmentally regulated GTP-binding protein 2 (DRG2), an evolutionarily conserved member of the DRG subfamily in the GTP-binding protein, is thought to play an essential role in the control of cell growth and differentiation. However, the role of DRG2 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells is largely unknown. Here, we show that DRG2 is down-regulated during chemotherapeutic drug induced apoptosis in four hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. We further provided evidence that DRG2 was a substrate of a SKP1-CULLIN1-F-box E3 ligase complex and inhibition the function of Cullin1 prevented the degradation of DRG2 during apoptosis. Moreover, over-expression of DRG2 inhibited doxorubicin induced apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Taken together, these results demonstrate that regulated degradation of DRG2 has a role in chemotherapeutic drug induced hepatocellular carcinoma cells apoptosis.

Abstract
Peripheral blood genes expressions profiling (GeXP) have been convinced to be more specific for the diagnosis of cancer and other diseases, and the GeXP system provides an ideal method to analyze multiple genes expression in one normalized and equable system. We aim to differentiate hepatocellular carcinoma from other hepatic diseases based on peripheral blood and the GeXP system. Fifteen selected hepatic diseases related genes with two house-keeping genes for normalization were detected by the GeXP system. The diagnosis model was based on K nearest neighbor classifier and cross validation, and software based on MATLAB software was built for differential diagnosis of hepatic diseases. Eight hepatic related genes were demonstrated to show an obvious statistic difference in expressions while the K nearest neighbors classifier showed that the accuracy for normal controls, hepatitis B, liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and the Other group was separately 80.57 %, 78.17 %, 84.48 %, 73.24 % and 85.85 %. The set of validation has been carried out to assess the accuracy of Model Two and the accuracy was even higher than the set of building for the model, except for the hepatitis B (HBV) group. A sensitive and specific GeXP system of eight genes has been developed for the accurate differential diagnosis of hepatic disease.

Abstract
AIM: To analyze the pathological characteristics and origin of bifocal solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas.
METHODS: The clinical data of a patient with bifocal SPT of the pancreas, who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy at our hospital, were retrospectively analyzed. The expression of multiple differentiation markers was detected by immunohistochemistry to evaluate the origin of the tumor.
RESULTS: The postoperative course was uneventful. The postoperative blood glucose levels ranged from 5.5 to 8.9 mmol/L. The patient restored food intake five days after operation. No postoperative complications occurred. Pathological examination showed different combination ratios of solid and cystic components between the tumors arising from both foci. However, the morphology of neoplastic cells was similar between them. Both of them were diagnosed as SPT of the pancreas. The SPT cells were highly positive for some differentiation markers such as vimentin (VIM), S100, alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), cyclin D1, PR, and nestin proteins.
CONCLUSION: Bifocal SPT of the pancreas shows heterogeneous differentiation. SPT may be originated from pancreatic embryonic stem cells and results from immature differentiation of pluripotential stem cells during pancreas genesis.

Abstract
AIM: To retrospectively evaluate the imaging features of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) in multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT).
METHODS: A total of 20 patients with pathologically-confirmed intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) were included in this study. Axial MDCT images combined with CT angiography (CTA) and multiplanar volume reformations (MPVR) or curved reformations (CR) were preoperatively acquired. Two radiologists (Tan L and Wang DB) reviewed all the images in consensus using an interactive picture archiving and communication system. The disputes in readings were resolved through consultation with a third experienced radiologist (Chen KM). Finally, the findings and diagnoses were compared with the pathologic results.
RESULTS: The pathological study revealed 12 malignant IPMNs and eight benign IPMNs. The diameters of the cystic lesions and main pancreatic ducts (MPDs) were significantly larger in malignant IPMNs compared with those of the benign IPMNs (P < 0.05). The combined-type IPMNs had a higher rate of malignancy than the other two types of IPMNs (P < 0.05). Tumors with mural nodules and thick septa had a significantly higher incidence of malignancy than tumors without these features (P < 0.05). Communication of side-branch IPMNs with the MPD was present in nine cases at pathologic examination. Seven of them were identified from CTA and MPVR or CR images. From comparison with the pathological diagnosis, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MDCT in characterizing the malignancy of IPMN of the pancreas were determined to be 100%, 87.5% and 95%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: MDCT with CTA and MPVR or CR techniques can elucidate the imaging features of IPMNs and help predict the malignancy of these tumors.

Abstract
AIM: To retrospectively analyze the imaging features of solid-pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) of the pancreas on multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) and define the imaging findings suggestive of malignant potential.
METHODS: A total of 24 consecutive cases with surgically and pathologically confirmed SPTs of the pancreas underwent preoperative abdominal MDCT studies in our hospital. All axial CT images, CT angiographic images, and coronally and sagittally reformed images were obtained. The images were retrospectively reviewed at interactive picture archiving and communication system workstations.
RESULTS: Of the 24 cases of SPTs, 11 cases (45.8%) occurred in the pancreatic head and seven (29.1%) in the tail. Eighteen were pathologically diagnosed as benign and six as malignant. MDCT diagnosis of SPTs was well correlated with the surgical and pathological results (Kappa = 0.6, P < 0.05). The size of SPTs ranged from 3 to 15 cm (mean, 5.8 cm). When the size of the tumor was greater than 6 cm (including 6 cm), the possibilities of vascular (8 vs 1) and capsular invasion (9 vs 0) increased significantly (P < 0.05). Two pathologically benign cases with vascular invasion and disrupted capsule on MDCT presented with local recurrence and hepatic metastases during follow-up about 1 year after the resection of the primary tumors.
CONCLUSION: Vascular and capsular invasion with superimposed spread into the adjacent pancreatic parenchyma and nearby structures in SPTs of the pancreas can be accurately revealed by MDCT preoperatively. These imaging findings are predictive of the malignant potential associated with the aggressive behavior of the tumor, even in the pathologically benign cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the early period of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), initial poor graft function (IPGF) is one of the complications which leads to primary graft non-function (PGNF) in serious cases. This study set out to establish the clinical risk factors resulting in IPGF after OLT. METHODS Eighty cases of OLT were analyzed. The IPGF group consisted of patients with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) above 1500 IU/L within 72 hours after OLT, while those in the non-IPGF group had values below 1500 IU/L. Recipient-associated factors before OLT analyzed were age, sex, primary liver disease and Child-Pugh classification; factors analyzed within the peri-operative period were non-heart beating time (NHBT), cold ischemia time (CIT), rewarming ischemic time (RWIT), liver biopsy at the end of cold ischemia; and factors analyzed within 72 hours after OLT were ALT and/or AST values. A logistic regression model was applied to filter the possible factors resulting in IPGF. RESULTS Donor NHBT, CIT and RWIT were significantly longer in the IPGF group than in the non-IPGF group; in the logistic regression model, NHBT was the risk factor leading to IPGF (P<0.05), while CIT and RWIT were possible risk factors. In one case in the IPGF group, PGNF appeared with moderate hepatic steatosis. CONCLUSIONS Longer NHBT is an important risk factor leading to IPGF, while serious steatosis in the donor liver, CIT and RWIT are potential risk factors.

Abstract
Cytoplasm of Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.) is known to influence seedlessness. Transfer of cytoplasm to a seedy cultivar could possibly lead to the production of seedless citrus fruits. In the present paper cytoplasts were isolated from cell suspension-derived protoplasts of Satsuma mandarin via ultra-centrifugation in a discontinuous gradient. No nucleus could be detected in the cytoplasts by DAPI (4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) staining compared with normal protoplasts. The cytoplasts, with high viability and small size, did not divide during solid embedding culture. Cytoplasts of Satsuma mandarin were electrically fused with embryogenic protoplasts of Murcott tangor (C. reticulata x C. sinensis), which led to regeneration of several cell lines. Flow cytometry (FCM) indicated that the cell lines were diploids. Simple sequence repeats (SSR) and cleaved amplified polymorphism sequence (CAPS) showed that the cell lines got their nuclear DNA from the protoplast parent, whereas the cytoplast parent donated the mtDNA, confirming transfer of mtDNA from Satsuma mandarin into Murcott tangor via cytoplast-protoplast fusion though no polymorphism was detected in chloroplast DNA between the fusion partners. This is the first report on isolation and characterization of cytoplasts, together with cytoplast-protoplast fusion in Citrus, which has a potential for citrus cultivar improvement involving cytoplasm transfer via cytoplast-protoplast fusion.

Abstract
Intergeneric somatic hybrids combining Goutou sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) with trifoliate orange Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf] were produced by electrofusion and their genetic inheritance analyzed by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Sixteen mini-calluses were obtained after 20 days of culture; they all developed into embryoids on EME500 medium. Following several subcultures on shoot induction medium for a total culture period of 6 months, shoots regenerated. The plants grew vigorously with a well-developed root system and exhibited the trifoliate leaf character of P. trifoliata. Ploidy analysis verified that all of the regenerates were tetraploids (2 n=4 x=36) as expected. GISH analysis confirmed that 18 chromosomes came from trifoliate orange and the remaining 18 from Goutou sour orange, as with most symmetric somatic hybrid plants; moreover, chromosome translocations were also observed in one plant. AFLP analysis of 16 regenerates and their fusion parents indicated that all of the somatic hybrids except one were genetically uniform. Analysis of the somatic hybrid cytoplasmic genomes with universal primers revealed that their chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) banding patterns were identical to those of the mesophyll parent trifoliate orange, while their mitochondria (mt) genomes were of the callus parent sour orange. The potential of GISH in Citrus somatic hybrid analysis is discussed.

Abstract
AIM: To observe the protective effect of heat shock protein 72 (HSP 72) induced by pretreatment of doxorubicin (DXR) on long-term cold preservation injury of rat livers.
METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were administered intravenously DXR at a dose of 1 mg/kg body mass in DXR group and saline in control group. After 48 h, the rat liver was perfused with cold Linger’s and University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions and then was preserved in UW solution at 4 °C for 24, 36 and 48 h. AST, ALT, LDH and hyaluronic acid in preservative solution were determined. Routine HE, immunohistochemical staining for HSP 72 and electron microscopic examination of hepatic tissues were performed.
RESULTS: After 24, 36 and 48 h, the levels of AST, ALT and hyaluronic acid in preservative solution were significantly higher in control group than in DXR group (P < 0.05), while LDH level was not significantly different between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). Hepatic tissues in DXR group were morphologically normal and significantly injured in control group. HSP 72 was expressed in hepatocytes and sinusoidal endothelial cells in DXR group but not in control group.
CONCLUSION: Pretreatment of DXR may extend the time of rat liver cold preservation and keep liver alive. The expression of HSP 72 in liver can prevent hepatocytes and sinusoidal endothelial cells from long-term cold preservation injury.

Abstract
CMS (cytoplasmic male sterility) can be controlled by the mitochondrion genome in higher plants, including Satsuma mandarin. Somatic fusion experiments in citrus combining embryogenic callus protoplasts of one parent with leaf protoplasts of a second parent often produce cybrid plants of the leaf parent, a phenomenon occurring most often with interspecific fusion combinations. In an attempt to practically exploit this cybridization phenomenon, we conducted somatic fusion experiments combining embryogenic suspension-derived protoplasts of Satsuma mandarin, Citrus unshiu Marc. cv. Guoqing No. 1 (G1), a male-sterile cultivar, with leaf protoplasts of other seedy types--Hirado Buntan Pink pummelo (HBP) [Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck], Sunburst mandarin (C. reticulata Blanco), Orie Lee hybrid (C. reticulata cv. Clementine x Murcott tangor), and Murcott tangor [C. reticulata x C. sinensis (L.) Osbeck], respectively--in an attempt to generate seedless cybrids by the targeted transfer of CMS. The genetic identities of regenerated plants from all four parental combinations were determined by flow cytometry, SSR, CAPS (or PCR-RFLP), RFLP, and chloroplast-SSR analyses. Regenerated plants from the first three parental combinations were diploids, and the cybrid nature of G1 + HBP with the mitochondrion genome from G1 and the chloroplast genome from HBP was confirmed, whereas the cybrid nature of the remaining two combinations was difficult to confirm because of the close phylogenetic relatedness of both fusion parents, as expected. Plants from G1 + Murcott were confirmed as tetraploid somatic hybrids. This is the first report of targeted citrus cybrid production by symmetric fusion with male-sterile Satsuma as the callus parent and other seedy cultivars as the leaf parents.

Abstract
Valencia sweet orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) calluses were used as explants to develop a new transformation system for citrus mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Factors affecting Agrobacterium-mediated transformation efficiency included mode of pre-cultivation, temperature of cocultivation and presence of acetosyringone (AS). The highest transformation efficiency was obtained with a 4-day pre-cultivation period in liquid medium. Transformation efficiency was higher when cocultivation was performed for 3 days at 19 degrees C than at 23 or 28 degrees C. Almost no resistant callus was obtained if the cocultivation medium lacked AS. The transformation procedure yielded transgenic Valencia plants containing the pTA29-barnase gene, as verified by PCR amplification and confirmed by Southern blotting. Because male sterility is a common factor leading to seedlessness in citrus cultivars with parthenocarpic characteristics, production of seedless citrus genotypes by Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation is a promising alternative to conventional breeding methods.

Abstract
Organelle DNA inheritance of four 10-year-old somatic hybrid trees between Valencia orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] and Meiwa kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia Swingle) was analyzed by cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Five chloroplast (cp) and three mitochondrial (mt) universal primer pairs were amplified, but no polymorphisms were detected. When the polymerase chain reaction products were digested by 15 restriction enzymes, four polymorphic cpDNA-CAPS and two mtDNA-CAPS markers were found. Both the cpDNA and mtDNA in the somatic hybrids were derived from Valencia orange (the embryogenic suspension parent). Genomic DNA of the somatic hybrids and corresponding parents was digested by five restriction endonucleases and hybridized with one chloroplast probe (RbcL- RbcL) and nine mitochondrial probes (coxI, coxII, c oxIII, c ob, atpA, tyr, proI, atp6 and atp9). The results indicated that three hybrid plants shared one strong cpDNA band with both parents and that the remaining one plant had two additional novel bands besides the shared band, while their mtDNA was identical to that of Valencia orange plus non-parental bands. When data on the mtDNA banding patterns were combined with observations on phenotypic performance in the field, it was found that the more complex mtDNA banding pattern coincided with increased vigor of the plant. The stability of the organelle genomes was studied by extracting the genomic DNA of one hybrid plant at monthly intervals for 1 year and then analyzing it using RFLPs. Before the dieback of the shoots, two fragments of the mtDNA were lost while the cpDNAs remained stable. Ploidy analysis by flow cytometry showed that all of the hybrids were stable tetraploids. Four simple sequence repeat primer pairs were applied to detect microsatellite alleles of the four hybrid plants, both parents and the 12 DNA samples from one plant. The results showed that all hybrids had biparental bands uniformly, which indicated that they had the same nuclear background. These results suggest that the mtDNA pattern is correlated with the phenotypic abnormality of Valencia and kumquat somatic hybrid plants and that nuclear-cytoplasm incompatibility may be the cause of dieback.

Abstract
Shoot tips of three apple genotypes, namely, Malus pumila cv. M26, Gala, and Hokkaido No. 9, were successfully cryopreserved using a modified encapsulation-dehydration method. As a result, in addition to a high survival rate and regeneration rate, the capacity of shoots regenerated from cryopreserved samples to root was enhanced. Eight M26 single-bud sibling lines were used to assess genetic stability. Although cytological examination revealed a ploidy difference in the noncryopreserved control, the ploidy constitution remained relatively stable during the period of cryopreservation. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) assay was performed to detect DNA-level variation. No change in DNA fragment pattern and number was observed between the control and the cryopreserved samples. In addition, methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) assay was carried out to investigate the DNA methylation status during the period of cryopreservation. It was found that cryopreservation induced a decrease in DNA methylation level.

Abstract
Leaf derived protoplasts of Sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) were fused electrically with embryogenic protoplasts of Microcitrus papuana Swingle. Plants were regenerated from the fusion products, which were characteristic with three types of leaf morphology. Most of the plants were identical to Sour orange (namely, Leaf-parent-type plant) and two plants had large and thick leaves whereas one plant had bifoliate and trifoliate leaves. Chromosome examination showed that these plants were diploid with 18 chromosomes (2n = 2x = 18). RAPD analysis was employed to verify the hybrid characteristics of the plants in the first two types. Four 10-mer arbitrary primers with polymorphism were chosen. Band pattern of the plants was similar with the leaf parent (Sour orange) for the primer OPAA-17. Band pattern of the plants was similar with either Sour orange or M. papuana for OPA-08. As for OPA-07 and OPA-04 three kinds of band profiles were detected. Results of RAPD marker, together with chromosome determination, indicated that all of the analyzed plants were intergeneric diploid somatic hybrids between Sour orange and M. papuana.

Abstract
Protoplasts isolated from cell suspension cultures of 'Bonnaza' navel orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) were electrically fused with mesophyll protoplasts of rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush) and Goutou orange (Citrus aurantium L.) respectively. Plants regenerated from both fusion combinations. Chromosome counting of randomly selected fifty two globular embryoids as well as all the regenerated seventy four plants from Bonnaza navel + rough lemon revealed that twenty six embryoids were tetraploids, and the rest were diploids while 100% regenerated plants were tetraploids. The results inferred that somatic hybrids were more competitive than parental genotypes in the process of plant regeneration. All the regenerated 14 plants from Bonnaza navel + Goutou orange were tetraploids as revealed by chromosome counting. POX isozyme and RAPD analysis verified that the plants from Bonnaza navel + rough lemon were hybrids, and RAPD analysis confirmed the hybridity of those from Bonnaza navel + Goutou orange.

Abstract
The leaf indexes and stoma characteristics of leaf-parent-type regenerants were the same as those of the leaf parent Rough lemon, but quite different from the somatic hybrids. Leaf-parent-type plants were diploid (2n = 2x = 18). Patterns of POX, PPO, GOT isozymes were identical to those of Rough lemon. The plants were analyzed by using 54 arbitrary primers with polymorphisms. Most of the primers (52) showed that leaf-parent-type plants were in concordance with Rough lemon. However, with primer OPW-12, the plants contained a unique band of Hamlin sweet orange. Amplification products with primer OPV-04 showed slight differences among the accessions. The research suggested that most genetic constitutions of the leaf-parent-type plants were from leaf parent Rough lemon and a little from embryogenic suspension parent Hamlin sweet orange.

Abstract
Young ovules from 3 cultivars and undeveloped ovules in mature fruits from 8 cultivars of loose skin mandarin of Citrus were cultured on 4 different media respectively to induce embryogenic calli. Results showed that the combination of EME(MT + 500 mg/L malt extract) and MKT (EME + 10 mg/L KT) media performed well in the induction of embryogenic calli from young ovules; MGS(EME + 1 mg/L GA3 + 40 mg/L sulfate adenine) medium was better than MDB (MT + 0.01 mg/L 2,4-D + 0.1 mg/L BA) medium in inducing calli from the undeveloped ovules, and the darkness was conducive to the induction of embryogenic calli. There was no chromosome number variation in the induced calli. All of the examined cells were diploid with 2n = 2x = 18 chromosomes.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the effect of metformin on glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity and rate of conversion diabetes in people with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). METHODS Seventy subjects with IGT were randomized under double-blind conditions to receive either placebo (n = 37) or metformin (n = 33) at a dosage of 250 mg three times daily for a duration of 12 months. Glycaemic control, plasma insulin and other biochemical indexes were assessed before and after 3, 6 and 12 months. RESULT At 12 months the conversion rate to diabetes was 16.2% in the placebo group compared to 3.0% for the metformin group (P = 0.011). Of subjects treated with metformin for 12 months, 84.9% became normoglycaemic compared to 51.4% of those receiving the placebo. Significant improvements in fasting glucose, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were found at 12 months and at intermediate clinic assessments. CONCLUSIONS Metformin can improve glucose metabolism in IGT patients and may be a treatment option in their management of IGT subjects.

Abstract
Protoplasts isolated from `Page' tangelo (Minneola tangelo × clementine) cell suspension cultures were electrically fused with mesophyll protoplasts of orange jessamine [Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack]. Shoots were regenerated after 6 - 10 months of culture, but they were extremely recalcitrant to producing roots in root-induction medium. Complete plantlets were formed via micrografting. Chromosome counting of shoot tips revealed they were tetraploids (2n = 4x = 36). Glutamateoxaloacetate transaminase isozyme and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis confirmed their hybridity. Orange jessamine is immune to citrus huanglongbin, a severe disease of citrus, but sexual incompatibility and limited graft compatibility exist between Citrus and orange jessamine. The cell fusion technique may make it possible to transfer the huanglongbin resistance trait from orange jessamine to Citrus.

Abstract
The aim was to determine the burden of diabetes mellitus (DM) in an urban area of China to aid us in planning preventive measures for those at risk of DM. A survey was conducted among the 29,859 subjects aged between 30 and 64 belonging to 32 units of the Shougang Corporation (a heavy industry enterprise) within the Beijing area. WHO study protocols and diagnostic criteria were used to determine the prevalence of DM and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The results showed that the age-adjusted prevalence of DM and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) was 3.63% and 4.19%, respectively, both increasing with age. Peak prevalence for both occurred in the 60-64 age group. Prevalence showed no difference between the sexes in DM but was higher for females in IGT. Obesity, being overweight, a family history of diabetes mellitus and in women, a history of delivering babies with macrosomia, all correlated closely with the prevalence of DM and IGT. High protein intake was also associated with DM, Smoking had no effect on either DM or IGT. Intellectual workers had a higher incidence of IGT than manual workers. Seventy per cent DM was undiagnosed prior to the survey. This survey, done according to the recommendation of WHO, and including appropriate adjustments, reflects the growing prevalence of DM and IGT in this population. It can be compared with other studies for epidemiological analysis.

Abstract
The effect of hypoxia on intrapulmonary conversion of angiotensin I (A I) to angiotensin II (A II) was examined by using an isolated rat lung preparation perfused at constant flow and cultured calf pulmonary artery endothelial cells. The conversion rate of A I in endothelial cells of pulmonary vascular bed was found to be decreased in both acute hypoxic and chronic hypoxic (CH-5000, CH-8000) rats. The conversion rate of A I to A II was significantly higher in acute hypoxic rat lungs than that in denuded endothelial cells rat lungs. There was no significant difference between chronic hypoxic and denuded endothelial cells rat lungs. In cultured calf pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAEC) exposed to hypoxia (3% O2) for 30 minutes the conversion of A I to A II was significantly reduced. In the time course of hypoxic exposure the conversion of A I to A II in cultured calf PAEC showed significant difference between hypoxia and normoxia. The results indicated that (1) Acute and chronic hypoxia impaired pulmonary conversion of A I to A II. (2) Effect of hypoxia on the pulmonary conversion of A I to A II is associated with the degree and the time of hypoxia.

Abstract
The role of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) on the effect of oxygen-derived free radicals (generated by xanthine-xanthine oxidase system) on intrapulmonary arterial in chronic hypoxic rats was studied by a microbioassay method. Intrapulmonary artery rings with intact or denuded endothelium of hypoxic (5,000 m, 10 days) and normoxic rats were prepared for observation of oxygen-derived free radicals induced contraction. It was shown that oxygen-derived free radicals induced contractions of intrapulmonary arterial rings with intact endothelium were obviously augmented in hypoxic rats than in normoxic controls. The augmented responses could be further potentiated by the addition of EDRF inactivator reduced hemoglobin (RHb), but diminished or even abolished by applying superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD). However, no effect on denuded rings was observed when RHb or SOD was added. It is concluded that chronic hypoxia may attenuate the action of EDRF in the enhancement of the reactivity of intrapulmonary artery to oxygen-derived free radicals.

Abstract
A plasmid-mediated transformation system has been developed for the xylose-fermenting yeast Pichia stipitis. We found that plasmid vectors containing the Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2 mu replicon and the kanamycin resistance gene (KmR) could be introduced into the Pichia cells and maintained as extrachromosomal elements. Pichia transformants containing such vectors will be resistant to the antibiotic geneticin that can be inactivated by the protein product of KmR. Plasmids identical to those used for transformation can be recovered from the Pichia transformants. Protocols for transformation of P. stipitis by the CaCl2-polyethylene glycol-protoplast process or by direct electroporation of intact Pichia cells have both been developed.

Abstract
Triploid hybrid Citrus plants were regenerated by somatic embryogenesis in vitro from endosperm derived calli. A sequence of media formulations was used to induce and support proliferation of primary callus from endosperm, to induce embryogenesis from primary callus, and to allow embryo development leading to viable plantlets. Calli were induced from cellular endosperm of Citrus sinensis (sweet orange), C. Xparadisi (grapefruit), and C. grandis (pummelo) excised 12-14 weeks post-anthesis. Induction of embryogenesis from sweet orange and pummelo primary calli required gibberellic acid and double mineral nutrient concentrations. Embryogenesis was not induced from grapefruit calli in these experiments. Only sweet orange embryos developed sufficiently to allow plant regeneration. Triploid axillary buds were minigrafted onto etiolated diploid rootstock seedlings in vitro in order to transfer triploid regenerants to soil and the external environment. Triploidy (2n = 3x = 27) was observed consistently in all phases of regeneration and in recovered plants. These results demonstrate that triploid hybrid plant recovery from Citrus endosperm can overcome barriers to sexual hybridization resulting from apomixis.

Abstract
D-Xylose is a major constituent of hemicellulose, which makes up 20-30% of renewable biomass in nature. D-Xylose can be fermented by most yeasts, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, by a two-stage process. In this process, xylose is first converted to xylulose in vitro by the enzyme xylose (glucose) isomerase, and the latter sugar is then fermented by yeast to ethanol. With the availability of an inexpensive source of xylose isomerase produced by recombinant E. coli, this process of fermenting xylose to ethanol can become quite effective. In this paper, we report that yeast xylose and xylulose fermentation can be further improved by cloning and overexpression of the xylulokinase gene. For instance, the level of xylulokinase activity in S. cerevisiae can be increased 230fold by cloning its xylulokinase gene on a high copy-number plasmid, coupled with fusion of the gene with an effective promoter. The resulting genetically-engineered yeast can ferment xylose and xylulose more than twice as fast as the parent yeast.
