Objective To assess the nutritional risk of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods The nutritional status of 112 IBD patients from PUMC Hospital were evaluated by Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002).Using Chinese standard,a body mass index (BMI) that was lowered than 18.5 kg/m~2 according to clinical material was regarded as malnutrition,and the score was recorded as 3.The se-verity of ulcerative colitis (UC) was evaluated using True-Love criteria as mild,moderate,and severe.Crohn's disease (CD) was evaluated using Harvey-Bradshaw Index as in remission stage (≤4),moderately active stage (4-8),and severely actively stage (≥9).Results All these 112 patients,including 70 UC cases and 42 CD cases,were evaluated by NRS2002.Forty-five patients (40.2%) were judged as at the risk of malnutrition.The incidence of malnutrition was significantly higher in CD patients than in UC patients (52.4% vs.32.9%,P<0.05).It was also significantly correlated with the severity of disease.In patients with severe IBD,the rate of mal-nutrition evaluated by BMI according to clinical material was significantly lower than the rate of nutritional risk.Con-clusions The risk of malnutrition is high in IBD patients.NRS 2002 can be used for nutritional risk screening.

Objective To observe the effect of duration of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum on coagulation, fibrinolysis and endothelial activation in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods The 45 elderly patients with cholelithiasis scheduled for LC, aged over 60 yeas, were placed in different groups respectively after surgery according to the duration of pneumoperitoneum. The duration of pneumoperitoneum was ≤60 minutes in group A (n=21),and more than 60 minutes in group B (n=24). Venous blood samples were taken on admission (baseline), at the end of surgery, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day after surgery for determination of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin fragment F1+2 (F1+2), antithrombin 3 (AT-Ⅲ activity), fibrinogen (Fib), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), D-dimer (D-D), von Willebrand factor (vWF activity). Results Concerning the coagulation activation, at the 3rd postoperative day, the level of F1+2 was significantly higher in group B than in group A [(1.60±0.26) μg/L vs. (1.32±0.24) μg/L, P＜0.05]; AT-III was significantly higher in group B than in group A [(84.82%±20.21%) vs. (97.49%±16.87%), P＜0.05]. At the 2nd and 3rd postoperative day, the levels of Fib were significantly higher in group B than in group A [(3.87±0.62) g/L vs. (3.42±0.72) g/L, (3.98±0.77) g/L vs. (3.42±0.63) g/L, respectively, P＜0.05]. Concerning fibrinolysis, But at the 2nd and 3rd postoperative day, the level of PAI-1 was significantly higher in group B than in group A [(33.93±10.42) μg/L vs. (26.69±9.49) μg/L, (32.90±11.25) μg/L vs. (26.31±7.06) μg/L respectively, P＜0.05]. Concerning endothelial activation, at the 2nd and 3rd postoperative day, vWF was significantly higher in group B than in group A [(174.53%±44.03%) vs. (134.37%±37.74%), (176.31%±47.6%) vs. (131.21%±36.34%), respectively, P＜0.05]. Conclusions Marked activations of coagulation-fibrinolysis and endothelial activation are observed postoperatively in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Along with prolonged duration of pneumoperitoneum, more pronounced alterations of increased coagulation, reduced fibrinolysis and endothelial activation are observed, which could constitute an imbalanced situation of coagulation-fibrinolysis and increases the risk of venous thrombosis.

Objective To compare the changes in blood coagulation, fibrinolysis and endothelial damage in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with different durations of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum. Methods Sixty-four ASA Ⅰ orⅡpatients, aged 23-60 yr, weighing 45-82 kg, scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the duration of pneumoperitoneum: duration of pneumoperitoneum ≤30 min group (group Ⅰ, n=21), 30 min ＜ duration of pneumoperitoneum ＜ 60 min (group Ⅱ, n=23) and duration of pneumoperitoneum≥ 60 min (group Ⅲ , n=20).The intra-abdominal pressure was maintained at 12-14 mm Hg. Venous blood samples were taken before surgery (baseline, T0 ),at the end of surgery(T1), and at 1, 2 and 3 d after surgery (T2-4) for determination of prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, concentrations of prothrombin fragment 1+2(F1+2), fibrinogen (Fib), tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), and activities of antithrombin Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ)and von Willebrand factor(vWF).Results Compared with groupⅠ , the vWF activity and PAI-1 concentration at T2 , concentrations of Fib, F1+2, PAI-1 and activity of vWF at T3 and concentrations of Fib and F1+2 at T4 were significantly increased, while the AT-IE activity at T3 was significantly decreased in group Ⅲ(P＜0.05) .Conclusion When the duration of pneumoperitoneum is short, no obvious changes in the blood coagulation, fibrinolysis and endothelial damage are observed postoperatively in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and along with the prolongation of the duration of pneumoperitoneum, increased blood coagulation, reduced fibrinolysisand aggravated endothelial damage are observed postoperatively.

Objective To evaluate the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, imaging features, treatments and factors related to prognosis of acute spinal spontaneous hematoma.Methods The clinical data of 38 patients with acute spinal hematoma treated in our hospital from 2011 till now were analyzed retrospectively.Duration of follow-up was 6 months.The factors influencing the prognosis were analyzed.Results Acute epidural hematomas (n=29) were much more common than subdural (n=5), subarachnoid (n=1) and intramedullary (n=3).Most hematomas were located in the cervical and thoracic vertebra regions.The etiology of acute spinal spontaneous hematoma was unknown in most patients.Twenty-nine patients were dealt with surgical intervention and 9 patients were treated conservatively.After 6-month follow up, recovery rate measured by JOA score in patients of spinal injury ASIA level A and B was (51.26 ±38.97), and level C, D and E was (80.33 ±25.83), P<0.05.Recovery rate in patients with hematoma discovered in less then 24 hours treated with surgical decompression was (64.79 ±36.10), and that in those with hematoma present over 24 hours was (34.54 ±30.17), P<0.05.Conclusions Acute spinal hematoma always caused by unknown etiology, and usually manifests itself in a sudden onset of pain and neurological deficits.The early diagnosis mainly depends on MRI.Patients presenting with severe neurologic dysfunction or showing signs of progressive deficit should have immediate surgical intervention. The status of neurological deficits before surgery and the length of interval between onset and surgical intervention are associated with recovery.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of Ad-hTGF-β1 transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell(BMSCs) into chondrocytes differentiation and the change of TAZ mRNA. Methods Rats BMSCs were obtained and cultured by whole bone marrow method, and then the third-generation cells were seeded into cell culture plate, and divided into three groups:Ad-hTGF-β1 transfected group,Ad-EGFP transfected group and the control group. The control group was added in common medium without any treatment while the other two groups were respectively added in serum-free medium containing Ad-hTGF-β1 or that containing Ad-EGFP. Seven days later, real-time fluorescent quantitation PCR and Western blot were employed for detecting the expression of TGF-β1 ,while immunohistochemical and Western blot for the expression of collagen Ⅱ , and real-time fluorescent quantitation PCR for the expression of TAZ mRNA. Results Seven days after the transfection, real-time fluorescent quantitation PCR revealed that the average relative expression of TGF-β1 was:Ad-hTGF-β1 group 0.863, Ad-EGFP group 0.183, and the control group 0.180; The average relative expression of TAZ was:Ad-hTGF-β1 group 0.810, Ad-EGFP group 0.416, and the control group 0.366.The expression difference of TGF-β1 and TAZ were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). Western blot and immunohistochemical proved strong collagen Ⅱ expression in Ad-hTGF-β1 group while it was detected a little in the other two groups. Conclusion BMSCs could be successfully and stably induced into chondrocytes differentiation by Ad-hTGF-β1. Meanwhile, the mRNA of TAZ is up regulate during the differentiation,so it is suppose that TGF-β1 improve BMSCs into chondrocytes differentiation by TAZ.

Objective To observe the condition of Keshan disease (KSD) in Gansu Province in order to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of the disease. Methods In 2011, according to “The national Keshan Disease Monitoring Program (trial edition)”, based on searching of KSD cases, 12 villages of 12 towns in 6 counties of Gansu Province, were selected as surveillance sites. All the residents in surveillance sites were clinically examined and given 12-lead ECG tracings; suspected cases were taken anterior chest X-rays in the distance of 2 meters, while staple food and life conditions of the residents were surveyed. Diagnosis of KSD was based on“Keshan Disease Diagnostic Criteria”(WS/T 210-2011). Results Among investigated 5 484 residents, the incidence of abnormal electrocardiogram was 15.41%. Of the 196 X-ray films, 61 cases had enlarged heart(in which 22 of mild, 21 of moderate and 18 of severe). Two hundred and forty-three cases of KSD were detected, the general detection rate was 4.43%, in which 31 cases of chronic, the detection rate was 0.56%; 212 cases of potential, the detection rate was 3.87%. In all cases, 47 cases were under the age of 30, including 46 cases of potential and 1 case of chronic. The major abnormal electrocardiogram change of KSD cases was ST-T changes[22.68%(71/313)], followed by complete right bundle branch block[16.29%(51/313)], low voltage[12.46%(39/313)], and left anterior fascicular block[6.71%(21/313)]. Per-capita annual income in surveillance site was 1 763 Yuan;and the major staple food was flour, accounted for 87%, and the staple food rice accounted for 5%. Conclusion The detection rate of KSD in Gansu Province is mainly to potential, and there is a cosiderable portion of patients under the age of 30;monitoring and investigation should also be strengthened in the younger age of KSD cases detected village.
