BACKGROUND: Intestinal mucosa was damaged by ischemia and hypoxia during severe burn, and injury and infection of oxygen-derived free radicals during reperfusion.OBJECTIVE: To study on the basis of sub-cell level whether danshen can improve respiratory function of mitochondrion of epithelial cell in intestinal mucosa and decrease the production of oxygen-derived free radicals so as to protect intestinal mucosa of burnt rats.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study with single sample.SETTING: Department of Burn, the Third Hospital of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted at the Surgery Institute of the Third Hospital of Chinese PLA from December 2001 to February 2002.Totally 96 SD rats of clean grade were randomly divided into normal control group (n=24), burning model group (n=36) and danshen treatment group (n=36). 1 mL danshen parenteral solution had 1.5 g raw materials.METHODS: ① Rats in the burning model group and danshen treatment group were used to establish grade Ⅲ burning models with 20% scald of total body surface. ② Rats in the normal control group were not injured.③ After modeling, 1 mL/kg danshen parenteral solution was slowing injected into rats in the danshen treatment group through femoral vein, but saline was injected slowly into rats in the normal control group and burning model group. ④ Twelve rats from each of the burning mgdel group and the danshen treatment group were sacrificed at 1, 2 and 6 hours after modeling, and 8 rats in the normal control group were sacrificed at relevant time points respectively. ⑤ Samples of small intestine were collected to measure cytochrome aa3, cytochrome C, level of energy charge and activity of superoxide dismutase of mitochondrion of epithelial cells in intestinal mucosa.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cytochrome aa3, cytochrome C, level of energy charge and activity of superoxide dismutase of mitochondrion of epithelial cells in intestinal mucosa 1, 2 and 6 hours after modeling.RESULTS: Totally 96 SD rats entered the final analysis. ① Level of cytochrome aa3 of mitochondrion of epithelial cells in intestinal mucosa at various time points after modeling: Levels of cytochrome aa3 did not changed obviously in the burning model group and danshen treatment group 2 hours after modeling as compared with that in the normal control group (P＞ 0.05). Six hours after burning, levels in the burning model group were obviously lower than those in the normal control group (P ＜ 0.05), but those in the danshen treatment group were obviously higher than those in the burning model group [(3.16±0.13), (2.5640.15) μkat/g, P ＜ 0.05]. ②Measurements of cytochrome C, level of energy charge and activity of superoxide dismutase of mitochondrion of epithelial cells in intestinal mucosa at various time points after modeling: As compared with those in the normal control group, measurements were decreased obviously in the burning model group 1, 2 and 6 hours after modeling (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01), but those in the danshen treatment group were obviously higher than those in the burning model group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).CONCLUSION: Danshen can raise the levels of cytochrome aa3, cytochrome C, energy production and SOD, and also reduce the production of oxygen-derived free radicals so as to improve respiratory function of mitochondria of epithelial cells in intestinal mucosa of rats.

Objective To study the role of bacterial collagenase in wound healing with observing capillary neovascularization, epidermis regeneration and collagen fiber reparation in vivo. Method A total of 28 New Zealand rabbits were made into models of superficial soft tissue trauma and divided into two groups. In the experimental group, the right limbs of rabbits were traumatized intentionally in the same length and depth, and their wounds were treated with bacterial collagenase liquor 133 MIU/mL, and the wounds were sutured. Similarly, in the control group, the left limbs of the rabbits were modeled in the same way and their wounds were managed with physiological saline instead and closed. Their wounds were observed continually 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days after traumatized. Data were analyzed statistically by using One-way ANOVA, LSD-test, and Wilcoxon rank test. Results There were no significant differences in capillary neovascularization and epidermis regeneration between two groups ( F = 0.12, P = 0.740 and F = 0.95, P = 0.33, respectively), but significant difference in collagen fiber reparation was found between two groups (F = 6.63, P = 0.01). Conclusions In the progress of wound healing, bacterial collagenase can improve the collagen fiber reparation without effects on the new capillary vasculogenesis and epidermis regeneration. The bacterial collagenase does not play a positive role in wound healing.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of Bartter syndrome in children. Methods Clinical data of 15 patients with Bartter syndrome in Children`s Hospital Afifliated to Chongqing Medical University was analyzed, and pertinent literatures were reviewed. Results Bartter syndrome is an autosomal recessive inherited renal disorder characterized by hypokalemia, hypochloremia, metabolic alkalosis, vomiting, growth retardation, the activation of the renin-aldosterone axis, normal blood pressure. Genetic analysis is the most reliable way for diagnosis. Comprehensive therapy with antisterone, indomethacin, catopril and potassium have remarkable effect. Conclusions Bartter syndrome should be considered when children have unreasonable continuous hypokalemia, hypochloremia, metabolic alkalosis and growth retardation. It can be clinically diagnosed by clinical manifestation and hydrochlorothiazide test, and genetic analysis is the most reliable way. It can be ameliorated by potassium and magnesium supplementation, antialdosterone medications, prostaglandin inhibitors and antisterone. Considering the following electrolyte disturbances, infections, growth retardation, kidney failure and even death,Bartter syndrome need lifelong treatment, early diagnosis and treatment is of the most importance.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common histology of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is composed of clinically and pathologically heterogeneous group.The ESMO clinical practice guidelines stratified the diseases according to age,age-adjusted IPI and feasibility of dose-intensified approaches.While the regimens suggested by ESMO are almost the same:six to eight cycles of chemotherapy with CHOP combined with rituximah.This article discussed the inadequacies of the guideline according to the recent clinical and pre-clinical studies and the authors' personal experiences.Four deficiencies are outlined:new prognostic factors are not included for the stratification,no therapy adjustmett was advised according to the response,overload therapy for the very-low risk patient,and insufficient therapy for the young,high-risk patients.
