Objective To explore the ideal choice of feeding artery which is used for regional arterial infusion (RAI) in severe acute pancreatitis. Methods Forty-five patients with SAP were treated with RAI. The ideal feeding artery was that can supply entire pancreas according to arteriography and can maximize concentration of drug at pancreatic tissue. The pancreatic arteriography was considered as the final objective evidence for choice. Results (1)Gastroduodenal artery was chosen as feeding artery in forty-four cases, and superior mesenterlc artery was chosen in only one case because of vascular abnormity. (2)According to splenic arteriography, blood of splenic artery was supplied to spleen chiefly, and only partial tail of pancreas was applied by splenic artery. (3)According to celiac trunk arteriography, blood of celiac trunk could be supplied to entire pancreas, but a considerable proportion of the total blood was supplied to spleen through splenic artery and liver through hepatic artery proper.Therefore, the drug utilization index was lower. (4)According to gastroduodenal arteriography, blood of gastroduodenal artery could be supplied to entire pancrea, and almost all of the blood that contains drug flowed into pancreas. Therefore, the drug utilization index was higher. Conclusions Gastroduodenal artery is the ideal choice of artery which is used for regional intra-arterial infusion in sever acute pancreatitis. Pancreatic arteriography should be applied routinely when yever acute pancreatitis was treated with RAI.

Objectives:To investigate the effect of early EN on mucosal structure and absorption function of allograft after living-related small bowel transplantation.　Methods:Early enteral nutrition was used.The image analysis,D-xylose absorbtion test and blood culture were used to measure the villus height and area,D-xylose absorption and bacterial translocation in blood.　Results:The morphometric examination showed that villus height and villus area were decreased on the 7th postoperative day,began to increase on the 12th day after transplantation and had been the 80% of normal level.The percentage of D-xylose absorption was gradually increased and reached the normal level on the postoperative 38th day.Postoperative blood cultures were always negative.　Conclusions:Early EN support can improve the mucosal structure and absorption function of small bowel allograft after living-related small bowel transplantation.

Objective:To study the effect of mesalazine hydroxyl-propyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion compound ( MSZ-HP-β-CD) liq-uid suppositories on ulcerative colitis ( UC) in rats. Methods:Dextran sulfate sodium was used to induce UC in rats. The marketed MSZ suppositories were applied as the positive control, and the changes in morphology and histopathology of the UC rats were observed after the treatment with MSZ-HP-β-CD liquid suppositories. Results:The results of morphology study showed that CMDI was decreased in the two MSZ preparation groups when compared with that in the model group (P<0. 01), and that in MSZ-HP-β-CD liquid supposi-tories group was the lowest (P<0. 05). The results of histopathology study showed that with the treatment of the marketed MSZ sup-positories and MSZ-HP-β-CD liquid suppositories, the ulcer and damage were improved, and the improvement in the MSZ-HP-β-CD liquid suppositories group was more significant. Conclusion: MSZ-HP-β-CD liquid suppositories exhibit better effect on UC in rats when compared with the marketed MSZ suppositories, which is worthy of further studies.

Objective To identify the risk factors for prostate-sparing cystectomy by evaluating the risk of prostatic invasion or incidental prostatic adenocarcinoma (PCa) in bladder cancer (BCa) patients undergoing radical cystectomy.Methods The patients undergoing radical cystectomy from 2009 to 2014 in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital were enrolled to analyze the risk factors of prostatic tumor invasion.These factors included age,tumor size,location,quantity,histologic grade and pathologic stage.Results In the 123 male patients,the mean age was 60 years (range,31-78 years);23 (18.7％) patients had BCa or PCa in the prostate;14 (11.4％) had prostatic Bca;11 (8.9％) had PCa.The risk factors of prostatic BCa included multifocal bladder tumors (OR =26.70,P =0.032),tumor in the bladder neck and trigone(OR =17.13,P =0.013),pathological stage (OR =26.70,P ＜ 0.001).Among the 11 patients with PCa,3(27.3％) patients had Gleason score of ≥7,8(72.7％) patients ≤6 and 2(18.2％) patients had extracapsular extension.Three patients had clinically significant PCa.The factor of advanced age was associated with incidental PCa (P =0.003).Conclusion The risk factors of prostatic tumor invasion in patients undergoing radical cystectomy included advanced age,bladder tumor in bladder neck and trigone,muhifocal bladder tumors,and advanced pathological stage.

OBJECTIVETo study the cytotoxicity of maitotoxin (MTX) and its protective effects on calcium-channel blocking agents, so as to provide the data for control and treatment of MTX poisoning.

METHODSCytotoxicity was measured by MTT detecting system, and cytoplasmic free [Ca(2+)]i was measured by F-4500 fluorometry.

RESULTSIncubation with 8 ng/ml MTX for 3 h reduced the survival ratio of LLC-PK(1) cells. The response was found in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, with significant differences as compared with the control group. The MTX-induced increase in [Ca(2+)]i was inhibited by Verapamil and Nifedipine at 5 x 10(-5) mol/L and 1 x 10(-4) mol/L respectively. Both of them significantly reduced the death of the LLC-PK(1) cells.

CONCLUSIONSCytotoxicity of MTX may be caused by the elevated intracellular [Ca(2+)]i. Calcium-channel blocking agents could protect LLC-PK(1) cells from injury by MTX.
