Intestinal immunologic barrier plays an important role in preventing the bacterium and endotoxin.Lymphocyte homing to the intestine is one of the normal intestinal immunologic functions,and has the theoretical significance and clinical value for the balance of intestinal immunologic barrier.The basic and clinical researches of lymphocyte homing to the intestine are reviewed.

Intestinal ischemia is a severe and life-threatening acute abdomen. Although its incidence is low,early diagnosis remains relatively difficult. The efficiencies of conventional laboratory biochemical tests are low. In recent years, many new markers for the early diagnosis of intestinal ischemia have been developed. In this article,we summarize their diagnostic efficiencies and relevant factors.

Objective To investigate the clinical values of serum histidine decarboxylase(HDC),intestinal fatty acid binding protein(I-FABP),and diamine oxidase(DAO)for diagnosing intestinal mucosal injury (IMI)in patients with intestinal obstruction.Methods The expression levels of serum HDC,I-FABP,and DAO in 28 patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction,19 patients with simple intestinal obstruction,17 patients with acute simple appendicitis,and 20 healthy control were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)before clinical treatment,and then the areaa under receiver operating characteristic curves(AUC)of these diagnostic indicators were compared.In addition,the incidences of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)and infectious complications were closely observed.The difference of the expressions of HDC,I-FABP,and DAO and their relationship with SIRS and infectious complications were compared among these patients and controls.Results The expression levels of serum HDC, I-FABP, and DAO were the highest in patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction (all P < 0.001), and the expression levels of these three indicators were significantly higher in patients with simple intestinal obstruction than in those with acute simple appendicitis or healthy controls (all P<0.05).The AUC of HDC (0.913) was significantly larger than that of I-FABP (0.877, P =0.000) and DAO (0.873, P = 0.000).When the cut-off value of HDC ≥31.00 ng/ml, the sensitivity, specificity, false negative rate, and false positive rate of HDC were 74.5% , 94.6% , 25.5% , and 5.4% , respectively,which were all better than those of I-FABP and DAO.There were significant differences of the incidence of SIRS ( P = 0.046) and abdominal infection (P = 0.027) among patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction, patients with simple intestinal obstruction, and patients with acute simple appendicitis, while lung infection showed no such significant difference (P = 0.728).The expression level of serum HDC was significantly higher in patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction who were also suffered from SIRS ( P = 0.000) or abdominal infection ( P =0.002) than that of uninfected patients.Meanwhile, the expression levels of serum I-FABP and DAO were significantly higher in the SIRS patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction than that of uninfected patients ( P = 0.027, P=0.017, respectively).The expression levels of HDC, I-FABP, and DAO were significantly correlated with the incideces of SIRS and abdominal infection ( all P < 0.05 ) , among which the level of HDC and the incidence of SIRS had the highest correlation (R = 0.608, P = 0.001).Conclusion HDC can be an effective indicator for diagnosing IMI in patients with intestinal obstruction.

Objective To evaluate and analyze the effect of treatment on fractures of the clavicle with reconstruction plate or with Kirschner wire.Methods Of 56 clavicular fracture cases for treatment with surgical procedures,22 cases were fixated with reconstruction plate.34 cases were fixated with Kirschner wire.Results All 56 cases were followed up for 10~48 months,on average 21 months.Reconstruction plate fixation group:2 cases concomitant with delayed fracture healing were multiple trauma patients.The mean union time in this group was 3.6 months(range from 3 to 5 months).Kirschner wire fixation group:3 cases with wires migration.The mean union time in this group was 2.3 months(range from 2 to 3 months).According to Kalarsson's shoulder function evaluating criteria,all cases were excellent.Conclusion Surgical technique with Kirschner wire is simple and credible treatment for clavicular uncomminuted fractures.,it complys with the conception of minimally invasive technique and is a recommendable way.

AIM: To investigate the protective effect of fluvastatin and its influence on ICAM-1 mRNA expression in ischemia/reperfusion myocardium of normocholesterolemic rabbits. METHODS: 24 rabbits were divided into three groups randomly and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion model in the rabbit was made. Rabbits were subjected to 45 min of regional myocardial ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion. 10 mg?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 fluvastatin were administered for one week. Dynamic index of blood flow was recorded and analyzed. Serum activity of CK, CKMB, LDH and LDH-1 were measured. The expression of ICAM-1 mRNA in ischemic myocardium was detected with semi-quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS: In comparison with control group, pretreatment with fluvastatin decreased LVEDP at the whole observed duration, and spontaneously increased ?dp/dt_ max . Serum activities of CK, CKMB and LDH-1 in control group were significantly higher than those in sham group, but heavily reduced in fluvastatin group. Increased expression of ICAM-1 mRNA due to ischemia reperfusion was reduced significantly in fluvastatin group compare to control group. CONCLUSION: Pretreatment of fluvastatin may reduce inflammation reaction in reperfused myocardium, and this may contribute to its protective effect against experimental myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of different dosage of fluvastatin on the prevention of heart muscle ischemia reperfusion injury in rabbits.Method Thirty-five rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups with 7 rabbits in each: sham group,myocardial ischemia reperfusion control group,low dosage of fluvastatin pretreatment group (2 mg/kg,Group F1),middle dosage of fluvastatin pretreatment group(5 mg/kg,Group F2) and large dosage of fluvastatin pretreatment group(20 mg/kg,Group F3).The left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP),the max rate of rise of left ventricular pressure(?dp/dt_(-max)) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP) were detected during the experiment.At the end of reperfusion,the infarct size and area at risk were defined by Evans blue and TTC staining,and the levels of myocardial nitrogen monoxidum(NO) and nitricoxide synthase(NOS) were measured.Result Compared with the ischemia reperfusion group,the indexes of heart function improved significantly,the level of myocardial NO was increased significantly and the myocardial infarct size was decreased significantly in the groups F2 and F3.There was no significant difference between the group F1 and ischemia reperfusion group.Conclusion Fluvastatin exerts a cardioprotective effect against myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in rabbits.NO is likely involved in this protective mechanism.

AIM: To investigate the effects of fluvas-tatin on expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion in rabbits with hyper-lipidemia. METHODS: 30 rabbits which were gastric perfusion administered intralipid were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n - 10 in each) : IR ( ischemia-reperfusion) group, S (sham-operation) group and F (fluvastatin 10 mg?kg-1 ) group. Electrocardiography and cardiac function were recorded during the experiment. At the end of reperfusion, ischemic area and infarct size were defined by Evans blue and triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. The expression of ICAM-1 in myocardium was measuredby RT-PCR. RESULTS: After ischemia-reperfusion, the expression of ICAM-1 mRNA in myocardial and infarct size decreased and cardiac function significantly improved in F group compared with IR group. CONCLUSION: The increase of expression of ICAM-1 mRNA in myocardial may be one of the important factors in inducing myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. The myocardial protective mechanism of fluvastatin maybe attribute to its effect on decreasing the expression of ICAM-1 mRNA in myocardial .

Medics play a very important role in military medical supporting forces who take on lots of basic work of medical units.It was assigned to us to train the medics for the first time this year in our university.To enhance the teaching effect of the course named first aid in battlefield,a series of measures were taken including modularizing the teaching contents,diversifying the teaching means,dividing students into some groups,strengthening the practice and examinations based on the traits of the medics and so on.At last,some countermeasures were put forward aiming at the process of teaching.
