Purpose: The aim of the study is to review the surgical experiences with pectus excavatum (PE) chest deformities at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University (Sichuan, PR China), during a 30-year period.
Method: Records of 398 PE patients (396 congenital, 2 acquired) who underwent surgical repair between 1975 and 2005 were reviewed. Modified sternal elevation was applied in all patients.
Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of the preputial development in Chinese boys and indications as well as occasion of circumcision.
Methods: The shape and retractability of prepuce were evaluated in 1,015 Chinese boys from 0 to 18 years old without heteroplasia of prepuce and penis.
Results: Ratio of children with phimosis decreases progressively with increasing age, from 64.
Microcirculatory detection of Toll-like receptor 4 in rat pancreas and intestine.

July 2006
Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on identifying the expression and location of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the pancreases and intestines of rats, particularly during conditions of acute pancreatitis (AP) and acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP).
- - Acute pancreatitis was induced using cerulein injections, and acute necrotizing pancreatitis was induced through taurocholate injection, with TLR4 detection performed via reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC).
- - Findings indicated that TLR4 was present in the microcirculation of both organs, with higher expression noted in the intestines during ANP, suggesting a potential link to microcirculatory
Objectives: To detect Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression and distribution in rat pancreas and the change of TLR4 expression in cerulein-induced pancreatitis (CIP).
Methods: Acute pancreatitis was induced by subcutaneous injections of cerulein at a total dose of 20 microg/kg. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect and localize TLR4 in rat pancreas, and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to quantitatively determine the expression of TLR4 mRNA in CIP.
