OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of volatile oil of Pogostemon cablin on the expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin in colonic mucosal epithelial cells of rats with post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome(PI-IBS). METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into normal control group(distilled water),model group(distilled water),Trimebutine maleate tablet group(TMT,0.1 g/kg)and volatile oil of P. cablin low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups [2,3,4 g(crude drug)/kg] with 8 rats in each group. Except for normal control group,those groups were given colon perfusion of acetic acid to induce PI-IBS mod-el. After modeling,they were given relevant medicine intragastrically once a day for consecutive 5 days. The expression of ZO-1 and Occludin [by IOD] and their distribution were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS:In normal control group,ZO-1 and Occludin evenly distributed on the top of enterocyte,manifesting as alveolate and punctiform;in model group,ZO-1 and Oc-cludin scattered on the top of enterocyte,showing uneven dyeing or fade;the distribution of ZO-1 and Occludin in volatile oil of P. cablin groups was similar to normal control group,and its dyeing was lighter than that of normal control group. IOD value of ZO-1 and Occludin in model group were lower than in normal control group(P<0.01);those of volatile oil of P. cablin high-dose group and the IOD value of ZO-1 of P. cablin medium-dose group and TMT group were higher than those of model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The volatile oil of P. cablin can up-regulate the expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occlu-din in colonic mucosal epithelial cells of rats with PI-IBS.

Objective To explore the autobiographical memory characteristics of chronic pain patients and its correlators.Methods Autobiographical memory,pain and emotion of 106 chronic pain patients and 106healthy controls were assessed with the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT), the Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), the Pain Self-efficacy Questionaire (PSEQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).Results Compared to the control group, the clinical group had less specific memory (3.63 ± 1.53, 2.63 ± 1.68, F (1.416) = 7.233, P ＜ 0.01 ) and more overgeneral memory (2.37 ± 1.53,3.37 ±1.68, F (1.416) =7.069, P＜0.01 ),but the latency to response was not statistically significantly different between the groups.Duration of pain,frequence of pain and pain self-efficacy were the significant predictors of overgeneral memory,and the regression coefficients were significant (P＜0.05 ) ,the multiple regression equation was statistically significant( R = 0.427, R2 = 0.183, F= 2.385, P＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion The autobiographical memory of chronic pain patients was overgeneralized because of the influence of duration, frequence and self-efficacy of pain.

Objective To compare the effectiveness and the influence on life quality of endovenous laser obliteration with those of traditional surgical ligation in treating varicosis of lower extremity.Methods By using numerical random grouping method,40 patients with varicosis of lower extremity were divided into traditional surgical ligation group (high ligation plus stripping,traditional group,n=20) and endovenous laser obliteration group (laser group,n=20).The curative effect and complications were compared between the two groups.According to the brief health survey (SF-36) scale,the influences of the two treatments on the life quality were evaluated.Results During the follow-up period,the differences in the curative effect and complications between two groups were not significant (P＞0.05).The life quality assessed by SF-36 scores in the laser group was better than that in the traditional group,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion For the treatment of varicosis of lower extremity,endovenous laser obliteration is safe and effective,it carries less influence on the patient's life quality when compared with traditional surgical ligation therapy.

Objective To discuss the efficacy and complications of using AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy in treating acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT).Methods The clinical data of 22 patients with acute lower extremity DVT,who were treated with AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy during the period from February 2015 to August 2016,were retrospectively analyzed.The improvement of clinical symptoms and the thrombus clearance rate were calculated to evaluate the curative effect.The procedure-related complications were documented.Results The clinical symptoms were relieved immediately after operation in all 22 patients.The thigh circumference difference between the affected side and the healthy side decreased from preoperative (4.5±0.6) cm to postoperative (1.0±0.4) cm,the difference in change was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The mean used dose of urokinase was (0.18±0.03) million unit and the average duration of thrombolysis was (4.2±0.7) hours.Complete removal of DVT (＞90％) was achieved in 19 patients,most removal of DVT (50％-90％) in 2 patients,and partial removal of DVT (＜50％) in one patient.After treatment,6 patients developed transient hemoglobinuria,which was relieved after hydration with fluid infusion on the same day.No serious complications such as pulmonary embolism or hemorrhage occurred.Conclusion For the treatment of acute lower extremity DVT,AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy is safe and effective with less complications.

Objective To explore the advantage of the mini-incision doubling eyelid operation comparied with buried suture method.Methods 201 single eyelid cases were randomly divided into 2 groups:group A(101 cases)using mini-incision doubling eyelid operation,and group B(100 cases)using the double eyelid plasty with buried suture.Their effect was comparied.Results 157 cases were received postoperative follow-up.Group A(81 cases)contained 45 thin eyelids and 36 thick eyelids.Group B(76cases)included 32 thin eyelids and 44 thick eyelids.The postoperative follow-up for 1 month revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of satisfaction between group A and group B among the thin eyelid patients(P＞0.05).But statistic difference was found between A and B group among the thick eyelid patients(P＜0.05).The follow-up period for group A and group B was in the range of 2.5 to 3.5 years.The maintenance-well rate between the thin eyelid and the thick eyelid patients in both groups was significantly different(P＜0.05).Conclusion The mini-incision doubling eyelid operation is superior to the double eyelid plasty with buried suture in the rate of postoperative satisfaction and long-term effect.It is deserved to have more applications.

Objective To determine the clinical value of hypergammaglobulinemia as a sentinel for autoimmune pancreatitis and avoid unnecessary pancreas resection.Methods All 14 patients with autoimmune pancreatitis or related pancreatic diseases underwent routine examinations,including liver function,CA199 and imaging.Measurement of serum IgG or IgG4 was performed for patients with clinically suspected or pathologically proved autoimmune pancreatitis.Clinical features were retrospectively compared between the AIP and non-AIP patients using x2 statistics with Yates correction or Fisher exact test.Results Ten cases were finally confirmed as autoimmune pancreatitis.All patients with autoimmune pancreatitis had elevated levels of serum γ-globulins,while only one case without autoimmune pancreatitis had elevated levels of serum γ-globulins.It was proved by subsequent antibody tests that serum IgG/IgG4 and γ-globulins were simultaneously increased.Conclusions Hypergammaglobulinemia can be used as a preoperative sentinel indicator for differentiating autoimmune pancreatitis from pancreatic malignancies and avoiding unnecessary pancreas operation.

Objective To analyze the incidence and clinical features of urothelial tumors in renal allograft recipients.Methods A retrospective analysis of 1042 patients received renal allografts who had taken immunosuppression for at least six months between 2006 and 2011 in The First Centre Hospital of Tianjin was performed.Results Eleven cases of uroepithelial tumors were diagnosed in the 1042 cases of renal transplantation ( 1.06％ ),of whom 9 cases were noticed by hematuria ( 81.8 ％ ),2 cases ( 18.2％ ) by medical examination.Six patients were diagnosed with multifocal urothelial carcinomas.Surgery was performed on all the patients with renal tumors and followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy.Conclusion Malignancies in urinary tract after renal transplantation should be bore in mind.Early diagnosis is very important.The treatment options include reducing immunosuppressive agents and removing tumor lesions completely.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intraluminal implantation of 125I seeds strand combined with stent placement in treating malignant biliary obstruction. Methods During the period from June 2009 to June 2013, a total of 68 patients with malignant biliary obstruction were admitted to Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital. Interventional management was carried out in all patients. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 68 patients, intraluminal implantation of 125I seeds strand combined with simultaneous stent placement was performed in 41 (combination therapy group) and only stent placement was employed in 27 (conventional therapy group). The survival time, the improvement of obstructive jaundice, recurrence of jaundice and procedure-related adverse events were recorded, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results Implantation of 125I seeds strand and stent placement were successfully accomplished in all patients. Statistically significant differences in serum bilirubin levels, which were separately determined at 7 days and 14 days after the treatment, existed between the two groups (P<0.05). No obvious marrow depression was observed in the combination therapy group. The median survival time of the conventional therapy group and the combination therapy group was 123 days and 215 days respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of malignant biliary obstruction, combination use of intraluminal brachytherapy and stent placement is clinically more safe and effective than conventional pure stent placement therapy.
