Objective To explore the application effect of simethicone combined with compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder before colonoscope examination. Methods 106 cases underwent colonoscope examination from October 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled in the study. Then all the cases were divided into 2 groups randomly, each with 53 cases. Patients in the control group were treated with simple oral administration of compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder, patients in observation group were combined using simethicone and polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder. The preoperative bowel preparation score, lesion detection and the changes of liver and renal function and electrolyte in the two groups were recorded respectively. Results Patients in the observation group were better than the control group in both the bowel preparation score and the detection rate (P < 0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions in the course of the two groups. Conclusions Simethicone can eliminate intestinal bubbles, and combined use with polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder before colonoscope examination can significantly improve intestinal cleaning effect, improve the colonoscope examination image, enhance the detection rate of lesions.

AIM: To detect the effects of resveratrol (RSV) on the expression of microRNA-21 (miR-21) in primarily cultured neonatal rat atrial myocytes with electric remodeling induced by rapid electrical stimulation (RES).Furthermore, to find out the possible mechanism of miR-21 regulating electrical remodeling.METHODS: The neonatal rat atrial myocytes were isolated by double-enzyme (trypsin and collagenase I) digestion and differential adhesion method.The atrial fibrillation (AF) model was induced by RES.Atrial myocytes were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, RSV group, RES group, and RSV+RES group.To further detect whether RSV regulated electric remodeling by miR-21, except the 4 groups, we add miR-21 over-expression group and miR-21 inhibitor group: RES+negative control (NC) group, RES+miR-21 mimics group, RES+miR-21 mimics+RSV group, RES+miR-21 inhibitor group, and RES+miR-21 inhibitor+RSV group.The optimal concentration and pretreatment time of resveratrol were determined by CCK-8 assay.The expression of miR-21 and the mRNA expression of L-type calcium channels CACNA1C and CACNB2 in atrial myocytes were detected by qPCR.The protein expression of L-type calcium channels Cav1.2 and Cavβ2 in the atrial myocytes was analyzed by Western blot.RESULTS: The expression of miR-21 in RES group was significantly increased compared with control group, while preconditioning with RSV decreased the expression of miR-21.Compared with RES+miR-21 mimics group, the expression of miR-21 in RES+miR-21 mimics+RSV group was significantly decreased.Meanwhile, the mRNA expression of CACNA1C and CACNB2, and the protein levels of Cav1.2 and Cavβ2 were increased (P<0.05).Compared with RES group, the expression of miR-21 in RES+miR-21 inhibitor group and RES+miR-21 inhibitor+RSV group was decreased, while the mRNA expression of CACNA1C and CACNB2, and the protein levels of Cav1.2 and Cavβ2 were increased.However, no difference of the expression of miR-21, the mRNA expression of CACNA1C and CACNB2, and the protein levels of Cav1.2 and Cavβ2 among RSV+RES, RES+miR-21 inhibitor and RES+miR-21 inhibitor+RSV groups was observed (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: In AF model induced by RES, RSV may reduce electric remodeling by inhibiting the expression of miR-21 and regulating the downstream target genes.
