Chinese Journal of Current Advances in General Surgery 2004;0(06):-
Objective: To explore the brain damage effects of lysophasphatidyl choline(LPC) in rats with pancreatitis and explore the pathogenesis of pancreatic encephalopathy(PE).Methods: SD rats were divided into test group,control group one and control group two at random.Acute edematous pancreatits rat model was induced following Aho HJ method for test group and control group one,then test group rats were venously applied with LPC and control group one was injected saline through tail vein.Control group two was treated with venous injection LPC through the rat tails without operation.Horseradish peroxidase(HRP) was used as a tracer to detemine if the blood-brain barrier(BBB)was open 7~10 days after successive application of LPC.The extravasated tracer was showed by diaminobenzidine(DAB).Rat brain tissue sections were examined by ponceau stain and Luxol Fast Blue stain to determine whether the rat brains were demyelination at the same time.Results: The BBB permeability of the test groupLTU rats increased greatly and obvious demyelination was observed in test group rat brains while both control groups had basically intact BBB and scarce demyelination was observed in both control groups.A statistical difference existed between the test group and control groups.Conclusion:LPC definitely open the BBB of the rat pancreatitis and demyelinates the brain of pancreatitis rats thus LPC plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PE.

OBJECTIVE To investigate current status of ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP) and to provide prevention measures associated with nursing.METHODS Clinical data,such as incidence,categories of pathogenic bacteria and prevention measures associated with nursing,were retrospectively analyzed in 106 patients who received ventilator treatment in our hospital during 2004-2006.RESULTS The positive rate of microorganism culture in these patients was 95.3%.Totally 178 strains of microorganisms were cultured,including 63 strains of fungi,48 strains of nonfermanters,34 strains of Staphylococcus,33 strains of Enterobacteriaceae.There were many risk factors contributed to pathogenesis of VAP.Among these factors,underlying disease was one of the important internal causes and invasive medical procedure was one of the important external causes.The incidence of VAP was reducing yearly as improving of prevention measures associated with nursing.CONCLUSIONS Nurse acts an important role in prevention of VAP.Enhancing nursing management,improving nursing procedure and adopting appropriate intensive care measurement will reduce incidence of VAP.

Objective To evaluate the effects of rHGF on liver regeneration after partial transplantation.Methods The partial orthotopic liver transplanted model was established in SD rats with two-cuff technique. In experimental group, immediate after operation, 500 ?g/kg rHGF was administered intravenously twice a day. Same vehicle of saline was administered as control. The rats were (killed) randomly on the day 1, 2, 4 and 7 after operation. The serum levels of albumin and alanine (aminotransferase) were detected. Each liver was removed and weighed. The expression of Ki-67 antigen was detected by using immunohistochemistry assay. The regeneration response of hepatocytes was evaluated by flow cytometry.Results The wet weigh in rHGF group was significantly larger than that in control group 1, 2 days after transplantation. The serum level of alanine aminotransferase was (lower) and that of albumin was higher in rHGF group than in control group 4, 7 days after operation. The proliferating index and Ki-67 labeling index of graft in rHGF group were higher than in control group.Conclusion rHGF can promote the regeneration of hepatocytes after partial transplantation.

Objective To explore the effect of lysolecithin choline (LPC) on blood-brain barrier(BBB) permeability in rats with acute pancreatitis. Methods Acute pancreatitis rat model was produced and rats were randomly divided into:(1)Test group-AP, rats received LPC by tail vein injection; (2)control group I, AP rats were given normal saline by tail vein injection; (3)control group II, sham operation without AP, but LPC was given by tail vein injection.Horseradish peroxidase(HRP) was used as a tracer to determine BBB permeability 7~10 days later.Results The test group showed local extravascular effusion of HRP, indicating that BBB permeability was markedly increased,while both control groups showed no apparent increase of BBB permeability,which were statistically significant(P

Objective To observe the hemodynamic variations of both the mother and fetus when the pregnancy was complicated with early-onset of severe preeclampsia, and to evaluate the role of monitoring the blood flow with Doppler in the management and prognostic value in the same condition. Methods A prospective case-control study was conducted in 36 pregnant women admitted for early-onset of severe preeclampsia (S-PE). The control group included 72 healthy pregnant women matched with the S-PE group. All had color Doppler sonography monitored during this study period. Data were collected for the umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index (PI) and systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D) , the middle cerebral artery (MCA) PI and S/D and the maternal mean uterine artery (UtA) PI and S/D. Those subjects with adverse perinatal outcomes were followed up after birth. Results The mean Doppler indices(S/D and PI) of fetal UA, MCA and maternal UtA were all declined gradually with the advancing gestational ages in both groups. The values of UA-S/D, UA-PI, UtA-S/D, and UtA-PI in the early-onset S-PE group were significantly higher than those of the control(P

Student awareness of rehabilitation medicine theory was still weak after learning for some time. We tried to impart rehabilitation concepts and thoughts to students during the course of rehabilitation technique. Following one controlled and randomized study, the Results of treatment group was more significant than that of controls.

Objective To evaluate the influence of rectal washout on the prognosis of rectal cancer after anterior resection.Methods Data of 144 patients with rectal cancer undergoing anterior resection at Chinese Academy of Medical Science Cancer Hospital between May 2006 and November 2007 were reviewed.69 patients received rectal washout and 75 patients did not.The incidences of recurrence and 5-year disease-free survival rates were compared.Data were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software packet,using x2 and t inspection.Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate postoperative survival rate.Results Washing sample was positive for malignant cells in 55 patients (79.7%).The incidences of recurrence were 4.6% and 6.7% in washout group and no-washout group respectively (x2 =0.368,P =0.721).The five-year disease-free survival rate was 79.7% in washout group and 74.7% in no-washout group(x2 =0.517,P =0.553).Conclusions Free malignant cells were ubiquitous in rectal lumen during anterior resection,and there was a high positive rate of cytological examine for washout sample.Rectal washout may reduce local recurrence and prolong patients' survival.

Objective:To investigate the possibility of establishing a new animal model of pulmonary arterial hypertension by immunizing rat with moesin, detecting the anti-moesin antibody and measuring the mean pulmonary arterial pressure ( mPAP ) . Methods:35 male SD rats were divided into 5 groups, namely, positive control group, blank control group, adjuvant control group, low-dose moesin(250 μg per time) immunized group and high-dose moesin(500 μg per time) immunized group.Each control group had 5 rats, while the 2 immunized groups had 10 rats respectively.The mPAP was measured and the pathological changes of the lung were studied at the endpoint of the study.Results:All the rats immunized by moesin produced anti-moesin antibody.At the endpoint, low-dose and high-dose immunized group had a significantly higher mPAP(20.6±2.9 mmHg, 20.7±2.3 mmHg, respectively) than blank control(15.5 ±0.6 mmHg, P=0.002, 0.001, respectively) and adjuvant control (17.2 ±1.6mmHg, P=0.03, 0.013, respectively).There was no difference between adjuvant and blank control(P=0.93).The mPAP of both immunized groups was not as high as the positive control(33.9±4.7 mmHg,P<0.001,P=0.001, respectively).Pathological study indicated that the immunized rats showed arterial wall thickening and muscularization, as well as inflammation around the vessel, which was similar to the positive control.Conclusion:Our pilot study showed moesin could induce rat to develop PAH.Moesin immunized rat could be a new animal model, which could mimic better the pathogenesis of connective tissue disease associated pulmonary arterial hypertension.
