Objective To explore the causes and surgical management of acute gangrenous cholecvstitis(AGC)after endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST).Methods Clinical and pathological data of 1066 patients who underwent EST from June 2003 to January 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsAGC was complicated in 16 patients(16/1066,1.5%),who underwent emergency operations and no death occurred.During the follow-up period of 4 to 36 months,no infection or obstruction was found.Conclusion Difficuitv in EST manipulation and biliary obstrucion might play a leading role in AGC after EST,and early surgical intervention is effective.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs) are widely present in the world and their concentration in the environment has been increasing rapidly.PBDEs pollution has caused an extensive concern in recent years.The environmental effects of PBDEs are decided by their transfer and transformation,which is the basis of environmental and health risk evaluation.At present,a considerable number of detection of PBDEs has been undertaken in sediment and wildlife.However,little research has been done on the ecotoxicology of PBDEs.The purpose of this paper was to introduce the research status of PBDEs,to summarize emphatically their distribution model,bioaccumulation regularity and ecotoxicology effects in the environment,and to discuss the influences of PBDEs on human health.Finally the problems needed to be solved in this field are proposed.

Objective To investigate the changes in serum hyaluronic acid level at different periods of experimental piggyback liver transplantation and its significance. Methods Fifteen pairs of healthy pigs of both sexes weighing (28.3 + 5.0)kg undergoing liver transplantation were studied. The donor pigs were slightly smaller than the recipient pigs. The recipient pigs were premedicated with intramuscular ketamine 8mg kg-1 and atropine 0.02mg-kg-1 .Anesthesia was induced with propofol 2mg-kg-1 , fentanyl 0.002mg-kg-1 and vecuronium 0.1mg-kg-1 iv. After tracheal intubation the animals were mechanically ventilated. CVP line was placed via internal jugular vein. Carotid artery was cannulated for continuous BP monitoring. Anesthesia was maintained with iv propofol, fentanyl and vecuronium. Circulatory stability was maintained by infusion of crystalloid, colloid, plasma and whole blood of pig. Blood samples were taken from peripheral vein before operation (T0), pre-anhepatic phase (T1), anhepatic phase (T2) and neohepatic phase (T3) for determination of serum hyaluronic acid concentration by radioimmunoassay. At the same time liver function tests, ALT, AST, y-GT were also examined. Results The average time of liver transplantation was (343+74) min. SBP decreased by (23.51+5.87 ) mm Hg and DBF by (11.35+7.81) mm Hg after induction of anesthesia. Serurn hyaluronic acid level was 267ug-L-1 before operation (T0) and rose to 1743ug-L-1 at T1 , and 9530ug-L-1 at T2 (P

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of gastroparasis syndrome after abdominal operation. Methods Clinical data of 25 cases with gastroparasis syndrome after abdominal operation from Jan 1995 to June 2006 were analysed retrospectively. Results Gastrectomy and nongastrectomy amounted to 16 and 9 cases( portal-azygous vein disconnection in 4 cases, panceaticoduodenectomy in 1 case, partial small intestinectomy and adhesions lysis in 1 case, radical excision of colon carcinoma in 2 cases, choledocholithotomy in 1 case). Gastroparasis syndrome characterized by upper abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting after clipping the pipe or large quantity of gastric drainage after operations. Gastrointestinal series and gastroscopy confirmed functional delayed gastric emptying. All cases recoverd through non-operative therapy including fasting, continuous gastrointestinal decompression, total parenteral nutrition or enteral nutrition, adn administration of gastro-intestinal dynamic medicine. Conclusions Gastroparasis syndrome is the common complication after abdomianl operation, gastrointestinal series, gastroscopy are main diagnostic methods, conservative medication obtains good effect.

Objective To explore the effect on nutrient and immune function of glutamine-enriched enteral nutrition on patients after total gastrectomy. Methods 36 patients after total gastriecomy were randomly divided into EN(n=18) and GLN(n=18) group. Compared the index after total gastrectomy including nutrient status, immune function and lassitude degree in the 1st, 3rd, 7th day. Results GLN group showed more effective process than EN group in improving postoperative nutrient status, immune function, nitrogen balance and lassitude degree. All the indexes in GLN group changed significantly on the 7th day than that in EN group(P

Objective To explore the protective effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza on small intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury during intestinal transplantation induced by cytokines in rats.Methods Sixty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group and low,mid,high doze treatment group,the superior mesenteric artery was occluded and then released to simulate the model of small intestinal ischemia reperfusion during intestinal transplantation.Tumor necrosis factor-?,interleukin-1?,interleukin-8 both in the plasm and small intestinal tissue were evaluated by ELISA 2 hours after reperfusion,changes of pathology in intestinal mucosa were observed.Results TNF-?,IL-1?,IL-8 were significantly higer(P

300 cases of atrophic gastritis were typed into 3 groups according to TCM principle, viz. Qideficiency of the Spleen-Stomach, Yang-deficiency of the Spleen-Stomach and Yin-deficiency of the Spleen-Stomach. Biopsy specimens were examined pathologically and detection of Helicobactor pylori performed for comparism. Results showed that in the Yin-deficiency type, the severity of lesion in the gastric mucosa and its type of lesion, severity of atrophy of mucosal glands, infiltration of interstitial inflammatory cells were most serious, while for the detection of Helicobactor pylori, it made no difference among all the three types.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis and surgical management of Hashimoto's disease.Methods Clinical and pathological datas of 36 cases with Hashimoto's disease from 1995 to 2006 were studied retrospectively.Results 36 cases were all confirmed to be chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis by pathological examination,6 cases,5 cases and 3 cases were apartly accompanied by nodular goiter,thyroid adenoma and thyroid cancer among them;The clinical manifestations before operation included thyroid nodules in 29 cases,thyroid seriously enlarged in 5 cases,thyroid pain in 2 cases;Great partial/subtotal thyroidectomy in one or both part were taken in 23 benign cases,or together with isthmus excision,3 malignant case received total and subtoal thyroidectomy in either part with isthmus and homolateral neck dissection.Conclusions Surgery is actively to be advised when carcinoma under suspicion,thyroid enlarged with pressure symptoms or pain,medication is ineffective.The mode of operation should be selected according to intraoperative frozen section.A long-term substitute medication of thyroxin can help to obtain a good prognosis after operation.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation (MSCT) and mobilization on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) with acute renal injury.Methods A total of 240 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group ( n =48 ),model control group ( n =48 ),MSCT group ( n =48),bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells mobilization (MSCM) group ( n =48) and MSCT +MSCM group ( n =48 ) according to the random number table.Rat models of SAP were made by peritoneal injection of L-arginine.Rats in the MSCT group were injected with 1.2 ml of bone marrow mesenchymai stem cells via femoral vein at 6 hours after SAP model establishment; rats in the MSCM group were subcutaneously injected with 40 μg/kg of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) at 3 days before SAP model establishment; rats in the MSCT + MSCM group were injected with 1.2 ml of MSC and 40 μg/kg of G-CSF simultaneously; rats in the sham operation group were injected with equal volume of normal saline.According to different time points after operation,rats in each group were subdivided into 12 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h groups (n =12).At each time points after operation,the mortality rate,pathological changes of renal tissue,expression of Bax protein,Bcl-2 protein and apoptosis indexes of renal tubular epithelium cells were observed.The contents of tumor necrotic factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),blood urea nitrogen (BUN),creatinine (Cr),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were determined.All data were analyzed by using SNK-q test,Fisher exact probability and analysis of variance.Results All rats in the sham operation group were survived.The numbers of rats in the model control group survived at postoperative 48 hours and 72 hours were 11 and 8,respectively.No rat died at postoperative 48 hours in the MSCT group,MSCM group and MSCT + MSCM group.The numbers of rats survived at postoperative 72 hours in the MSCT group,MSCM group and MSCT + MSCM group were 11,10 and 11,which were not significantly different from the number of survived rats in the model control group (P ＞0.05).The pathological injuries of renal tissues were relieved in the MSCT group,MSCM group and MSCT + MSCM group when compared with model control group.The expression of Bax protein,Bc1-2 protein,renal tubular epithelium cell apoptosis indexes at 12-72 hours were 12.80 + 1.78-20.30 + 2.40,4.34 + 1.20-3.03 ± 1.06,12.65％ ±2.31％-35.10％ ± 5.54％ in the model control group,9.68 ± 2.11-17.01 ± 2.54,5.57 ± 1.35-4.13 + 1.05,6.20％ ± 1.53％- 17.50％ ± 2.80％ in the MSCT group,10.05 ± 2.17-16.81 ± 2.55,5.49 ± 1.48-4.19 ±1.05,6.41％± 1.64％-17.14％±2.27％ in the MSCM group,8.33 ±2.06-14.03 ±2.27,6.60 ±2.11-5.63 ±1.52,5.80％ ± 1.52％-12.30％ ±2.43％ in the MSCT + MSCT group.There were significant differences in the expressions of Bax protein at 24 and 72 hours,Bcl-2 protein at 48 and 72 hours,renal tubular epithelium cell apoptosis index at 24,48 and 72 hours between the MSCT group,MSCM group and MSCT + MSCM group ( P ＜0.05 ),but no significant difference was found between the MSCT group and the MSCM group ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The contents of TNF-α,IL-6,BUN,Cr,LDH,CRP in the MSCT group,MSCM group and MSCT + MSCM group were decreased when compared with those in the model control group,and a significant decrease of the 6 factors was observed in the MSCT + MSCM group.There were significant difference in the content of TNF-α at 72 hours,IL-6,BUN and Cr at 48 and 72 hours,LDH at 24,48 and 72 hours and CRP at 72 hours between the MSCT group,MSCM group and MSCT + MSCM group (P ＜0.05),while no significant difference was observed between the MSCT group and the MSCM group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion MSCT and MSCM can significantly protect acute renal injury in the progress of SAP,the probable mechanisms are pathological regeneration,anti-inflammatory effect and apoptosis inhibition of mesenchymal stem cells.
