Objective To investigate the efficacy of pantoprazole and omeprazole in the prevention of postoperative stress ulcer.MethodsThe patients were divided into control group (pantoprazole) and observation group (omeprazole) according to the random number table method from December 2015 to December 2016 in 200 cases of abdominal surgery.The incidence and adverse effects of stress ulcer were measured and the cost and effect were calculated.ResultsIn the observation group, the incidence of stress ulcer was 4.0% (4/100) in the observation group compared with 5.0% (5/100) in the control group(χ2=0.11, P=0.73).Compared with the control group, Both groups were treated with liver and kidney function and blood routine examination, no obvious abnormalities, and no significant adverse reactions during treatment.ConclusionAbdominal surgery patients with pantoprazole and omeprazole can effectively prevent postoperative stress ulcers, the cost of no significant difference, no significant adverse reactions.

Objective To study the expression of interleukin-17 (IL-17) in diabetic rat aorta and the effect of intervention with resveratrol,meanwhile,to explore the potential mechanisms of IL-17 induced diabetic vascular diseases and the protective role played by resveratrol in the epigenetic field.Methods The experiment was carried out in 4 groups:normal control group(NC),normal interventional group(NB),diabetic group(DM),and diabetic interventional group(DB),NB and DB groups were intervened with resveratrol.Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the histological localization of IL-17 and to measure the thickness of rat abdominal aorta.Western blotting,real-time PCR,and methylation-specific PCR were used respectively to compare the expression of IL-17 protein and mRNA,as well as DNA methylation in 4 groups.Results IL-17 mainly expressed in arterial intima of diabetic rats,the abdominal aorta in DM group was obviously thicker than that in NC and DB groups(P＜0.05).IL-17 protein and mRNA expressions in DM group were significantly higher than NC group(P＜0.05),and were reduced in NB and DB groups compared with NC and DM groups respectively.While DNA methylation levels of IL-17 in DM group were significantly lower than NC group(P＜0.01),however,the levels in NB and DB groups were elevated accordingly as compared with corresponding groups.Conclusions The increased levels of IL-17 in aorta of diabetic rats suggests that IL-17 is involved in the process of inflammatory responses to diabetic macrovascular diseases,while resveratrol could inhibit the expression,it may play a role in protecting aorta,and the regulation of IL-17 gene promoter DNA methylation levels may be the potential mechanism underlying these two phenomena.

Objective To analyze the cause and therapeutic effect of acute intestinal obstruction of different age groups in metropolitan. Method The data of 165 cases of acute intestinal obstruction admitted in our department from January 1995 to December 1999 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients over 60 belonged to aged group and the ones below 60 belonged to adult group. Results Among 165 cases, 98 cases belonged to the aged group while 67 belonged to the adult group. There were 68 cases of colorectal cancer, 45 cases of adhesion, 13 cases of cancer metastasis, 10 cases of volvulus of sigmoid colon, 7 cases of oblique hernia and 22 cases of other causes. Cancer was the main cause in the aged group (44.9%, 44/98) and adult group (55.2%, 37/67) (P＞0.05) . Adhesion accounted for 30. 6% (30/98) and 22.4% (15/67) in these two groups. 79.5% of the patients with colorectal cancer in the aged group and 94.6% in the adult group recieved operation(P＜0.05) . The resection rate of colorectal cancer was almost the same between the two groups. The mortality was 7.1% (7/98) in the aged group and 2.9% (2/67) in the adult group respectively(P＜0.05) . Conclusions Tumor is the main cause of acute intestinal obstruction in metropolitan followed by adhesion. The mortality is significantly high in aged group.

ObjectTo study the effect of polydatin (PD) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) on the endothelial function in aorta vascular strips of healthy rabbits and the interaction between PD and ADMA. MethodsDose-response curves of phenylephrine (PE) on the aortic strips with or without ADMA and/or PD. E max and Kd from PE were obtained and compared. ResultsNormal aortic strips could not respond to ADMA. Pretreatment with either PD or ADMA had no effect on the contractive response of aortic strips to PE. But PD could significantly weaken the contractive response of aortic strips pretreated with ADMA caused by PE in a dose-dependent manner, increase Kd and decrease E max of PE. ConclusionEither ADMA or PD alone does not influence the normal aortic strip contractive functions, the PE affinity to ?-receptor, and E max. But PD could noncompetitively antagonize the contractive reaction of aortic strips to PE in the presence of ADMA.

Objective To clone and express the outer surface protein C ( OspC) from a Chinese Borrelia afzelli FP1 strain and to evaluate the immune protectivity of the recombinant OspC protein ( rOspC) . Methods The gene encoding OspC protein of Borrelia afzelli FP1 strain was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and then inserted into pET-30a plasmid to construct the recombinant expression plasmid pET-30a-OspC. The transformed E. coli BL21 strains carrying pET-30a-OspC plasmid were induced by IPTG to express OspC protein. The expressed proteins were purified by Ni-IDA resin chromatography and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot assay. Indirect immunofluorescence assay ( IFA) was performed to detect anti-rOspC protein antibodies in serum samples from rabbits immunized with rOspC protein. In vitro neutral-ization test was performed for evaluation the immune protectivity of rOspC protein. Results The recombi-nant expression plasmid pET-30a-OspC was successfully constructed and highly expressed in E. coli BL21. A strong antigen-antibody reaction between the rOspC protein and polyclonal antibody against Borrelia afzelli FP1 strain was detected by Western blot assay. The titers of IgG in serum samples from rabbits immunized with rOspC protein were significantly elevated. The in vitro neutralization test indicated that 106/ml of Borre-lia afzelli FP1 strains were neutralized by every anti-OspC protein serum sample from the experiment group. Conclusion The rOspC protein showed a strong immune protectivity against Borrelia afzelli, which could be used in the development of polyvalent subunit vaccine against lyme disease.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a hepatocyte immunotoxicity model for screening of liver protective medications. METHODS: Cytotoxicity was induced by coincubating BCG-pretreated rat hepatocytes in vivo and with 10 mg/L LPS in vitro. Biphenyldimethylesterate (DDB), malotilate(MLT), silybin(SB) and glycyrrhizin (GRZ) were coincubated along with LPS to prevent the hepatocyte injury and verify the applicability and reliability of the model. AST, LDH and nitric oxide (NO) were measured in both the serum and supernatant. The liver and spleen index were calculated and the liver histopathologic changes were examined microscopically. RESULTS: Supernatant AST, LDH and NO in the BCG combined LPS group were increased in comparison with the control group (P<0.01). This increase was attenuated by the addition of DDB, MLT, SB and GRZ (P<0.05). The serum AST, NO and liver and spleen index were also increased significantly compared with the control group (P<0.01). Microscopic exam revealed serious histopathologic changes in the BCG combined LPS group. Hepatoxicity with associated liver enzyme elevation but histopathologic changes were attenuated by DDB, MLT, SB and GRZ. CONCLUSION: BCG combined LPS-induced hepatocyte immunotoxicity in an in vitro rat model may be a useful technique to assess the effectiveness of liver protective medications.
