ObjectiveTo observe the effect of succus entericus reinfusion with continuous enteral nutrition on the barrier function of intestinal mucosa and nutritional status in patients with stomal type fistulas. Methods Sixteen patients with stomal type fistula from July 1995 to May 2008 were enrolled in the study. A]l patients met the following conditions: gut function returned normal; abdominal infection was controlled; total enteral nutrition was provided ; and the length of small intestine for succus entericus reinfusion was more than 50 cm. Intestinal mucosa was taken at 25 to 30 cm away from stoma of fistula by endoscope 0, 7, and 14 days after reinfusior. Hematoxylineosin staining was performed to count the number of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IIELS). In addition,proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was measured with immunohistochemical staining. Serum protein levels were determined by immunonephelometry. ResultsThe percentage of IIELS in intestinal mucosa ( 19.06% ±4.81% vs. 12.81% ±2.95%, P=0.000) and the percentage of PCNA positive cells ( 12.13% ±4.33% vs.6.44% ± 2.34%, P =0.000) 14 days after succus entericus reinfusion were significantly higher than those on the day of reinfusion. Serum fibronectin level increased from ( 152.80 ± 16.50 ) to ( 227.05 ± 45.36 ) mg/L ( P =0.000), and transferring protein level increased from ( 2.16 ± 0.52 ) to ( 2.62 ± 0.41 ) g/L ( P =0.017 ) 14days after succus entericus reinfusion. ConclusionSuccus entericus reinfusion is effective in protecting the intestinal mucosa in patients with stomal type fistulas.

Objective To explore the feasibility of using portable γ spectrometer to rapidly identify the low activity of depleted uranium and the underlying conditions.Methods Firstly,high purity germanium (Ge) γ spectrometer was used to analyze energy spectrum of DU samples (5 g) and calculate nuclide percentage of 235U in an attempt to ascertain the properties of these DU samples.The portable γ spectrometer was used to provide the evidences for identification of DU samples.Secondly,portable γ spectrometer was also used to identify DU samples of same group.These samples contain 1 g DU powder and 0-5 g environmental clay powder,which were sealed with double layer pocket,and then detected with a distance of 1-5 cm during the longest detection time of 10 min.According to the detection of nuclide activity of 238U and 235U in the samples and the subsequent calculation of specific activity,the nuclide percentage composition was calculated and the existence of DU was confirmed if this value of 235U was less than 0.718%.Results The activity of 238U was detected using portable γ spectrometer under all test conditions,while the activity of 235U was detectable only under certain test conditions (MA ≥ 1 g,DN ≤ 1 cm).Under the condition that the 238U and 235U was both detected,the nuclide percentage of 235U was all less than 0.718%,which suggested that the DU was confirmed.Conclusions The energy spectrum of low activity of DU and the type of nuclide could rapidly be identified and evaluated by using portable γ spectrometer.This is same as the conclusions obtained with high purity Ge γ spectrometer,α spectrometer and ICP-MS.

Objective:To analyze risk factors for the rupture of basilar tip aneurysms (BTA) using morphological parameters assessed on CTA.Methods:The clinical data and CTA imaging characteristics of 62 patients with BTA from March 2016 to November 2020 in Huanhu Hospital of Tianjin were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into un-rupture ( n=44) and rupture ( n=18) groups according to whether the BTA ruptured. The morphological parameters of aneurysms were measured and recorded. The number, shape and orientation of aneurysms were analyzed by χ 2 test between the two groups. The length (H max), height (H p), neck width (N D), aspect ratio (AR), size ratio (SR), angle of aneurysms (AA), flow angle (FA), basilar vessel angle (BVA), the angle between the proximal long axis of bilateral posterior cerebral artery P1 segment (P1-P1 angle), the angle between the proximal long axis of bilateral superior cerebellar arteries and bifurcation angle (the sum of the angle between the basilar artery and the bilateral posterior cerebral arteries) were analyzed by independent-sample t test between the two groups. On the basis of univariate analysis, logistic regression was used to identify the independent risk factors for BTA rupture. ROC curve analysis was further performed. Results:BTA with irregular shape was more likely to break (χ 2=5.412, P<0.05). The H max[(4.18±2.11)mm], N D [(3.06±1.75)mm], P1-P1 angle (148°±18°) in the rupture group were smaller than those in the un-rupture group [(6.38±2.21)mm, (5.20±1.59)mm, 178°±25°], with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). While AR (1.19±0.13), BVA (82°±11°), and bifurcation angle (212°±18°) in the rupture group were larger than those in the un-rupture group (1.05±0.18, 70°±10°, 181°±27°), with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). The logistic regression analysis showed that the shape of aneurysms (β=4.878, OR=11.418, P=0.019), BVA (β=0.165, OR=1.177, P=0.043), and P1-P1 angle (β=-0.223, OR=1.080, P=0.029) were independent risk factors for BTA rupture. The ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value of BVA and P1-P1 angle to predict the BTA rupture were 76.7° and 158.5°, and area under curve (AUC) were 0.79 and 0.86, respectively. The AUC of combined BVA with P1-P1 angle was 0.89. Conclusion:The shape of aneurysms, BVA and P1-P1 angle are independent risk factors for BTA rupture. BTA are prone to rupture when the shape of aneurysm is irregular, BVA>76.7 ° and P1-P1 angle<158.5 °.

Phospholipase D(PLD) is ubiquitous in bacteria,fungi,and mammal.In pathogenic microorganisms,PLD can be pathogenic determinant and play a role in spore generation.In mammalian cells,PLD functions in several signal transduction pathways,such as membrane transportation,mitosis regulation,and actin cytoskeleton regulation.In the process of pathogens invasion host cells,both of the pathogen and host cells’ PLD will be activated and a series of cascade reaction will be generated.During this process,pathogen’s PLD can regulate the polymerization and reorganization of its own actin filaments and induce the polymerization or reorganization of the host cell actin filaments near the foci,thus to promote the phagocytosis of the pathogen by host cell.Investigating the role of PLD activation in the infection will be significance for further understanding the molecular mechanism of pathogen-host cell interaction.

Objective To explore the effect of age on the fracture healing through bioinformatical analysis of gene ex?pression data in GEO, and to screen critical molecular targets and pathways involved in this process. Methods Through R programming language, we identified different expressed genes between 26/52 week old rats and 6 week old rats in every time points of the experiment (No fracture;3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks after fracture). By comparison of these different expressed genes, those genes that may contribute to fracture healing were identified. Function annotation was conducted based on DAVID database and PPI network that was constructed via STRING database. Results Compared with 6 week old rat, 52 week old rat show more different genes at 2, 4 and 6 weeks after fracture as well as more than intact rats. At the time point of 6 weeks after fracture, 26 week old rat present 4 different genes while 52 week old rat present 99 differ?ent genes compared with 6 week old rat. We totally found 99 genes that might play important roles in the process of fracture healing. These genes involved in biological process related to bone healing, immune, inflammatory and etc. Also, two screened gene enriched KEGG pathways were identified: ECM-receptor interaction and Arachidonic acid metabolism. Through the analysis of PPI network, Pcna, Fn1, Casp3 and etc, who present high density connectivity in PPI network, were screened out. Conclusion Pcna, Casp3 and Fn1 and etc might play important roles in fracture healing through affecting ECM-receptor interaction and Arachidonic acid metabolism.
