Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2008;15(6):957-958
Objective To observe the clinical curative effect of edaravone on treatment of acute lagre area cerebellar irdarction(ALACI). Methods 31 ALACI patients attacked within 72h were randomly assigned to therapygroup( n = 16) and control group( n = 15). Therapy group took the basic treatment as well as edaravone infused at a dose of 30mg,twice a day for 14 days. Control group took similar treatment to therapy group expect for edaravone.At 0th ,7th, 14th ,21th day after treatment, the C.SS and ability of daily living(ADL) were used to evaluate the recovery of neurological functions. Results Significant difference of CSS and ADL grading were detected between therapygoup and control group at 7th, 14th day( P < 0.05 ), with lower grading in therapy group ; there were significant differ-ence of CSS and ADL grading between therapy goup and control group at 21th day( P < 0.01 ), with lower grading in therapy group. No evident side effect was detected in edaravone therapy group. Conclusion Edaravone is a safe a-gent. It can effectively improve the neurological deficits and daily living ability of ALACI patients.
2.Clinical thinkings on the diagnosis of jaundice
Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2000;0(12):-
Jaundice is a common clinic presentation which can be caused by various benign or life-threating disorders.Charaterization by unconjugated(indirect)hyperbilirubinemia and conjugated(direct)hyperbilirubinemia may help clinic diagnosis and treatment.The reasons causing unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia include hemolytic anemias,ineffective hematopoiesis,malfunction of bilirubin absorption and combination by hepatocytes or hyperbilirubinemia after hepatitis.Moreover,liver excretion disfunction by inherited disease,hepatocellular jaundice,or various obstruction of the duct system can lead to conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.This article discusses the category of jaundice according to different serum bilirubin,which warrants to clarify the cause quickly so that treatment can begin as soon as possilble.
3.Cox regression analysis of factors related to the relapse of ulcerative colitis
Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2001;0(04):-
Objective To identify the factors that may influence the risk of relapse.Methods 122 patients were included in the study,and 12 clinicopathologic factors related to the relapse of ulcerative colitis were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression proportional hazards mode.Results Multivariate analysis showed the exatrointestinal manifestations,Induced factors,irregular therapy and the compliance of patients were independent prognostic factors for the relapse of ulcerative colitis.Conclusion The patients with UC should be treated regularly and avoid inducing factors.When patients have exatrointestinal manifestations,they should be monitored closely to prevent relapse.

Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine 2008;47(11):942-945
Objective To study the relationship between coagulation abnormal and inflammatory in the TNBS induced rats colitis model as well as the therapeutic effect of heparin on this model Methods Forty SD-rats were separated into 4 groups randomly, including normal control group, colitis group, heparin group and SASP group. PT, APTT and the activity of antithrombin (AT)were chosen as indexs of coagulation. The level of damage ancl inflammatory state of the colitis rats were assessed by macroscopical score, histological score and the level of TNFα in each group. Results Compared with normal control group, TNBS induced colitis group has a shorter PT [(14.83±0.45)s vs(16.68±1.08 )s, P < 0.05] and APTT[(12.49±1.30)s vs(29.06±1.60) s, P<0.05] and a lower activity level of AT [(111.33± 8.50)% vs(122.13±3.52)%,P<0.05]. In heparin group, PT, APTT were prolonged [PT: (17.83± 0.78)s vs (14.83±0.45)s,P<0.05, APTT:(53.34±9.49)s vs (12.49±1.30)s,P<0.05] and AT activity was higher than colitis group [(131.67±6.92)% vs (111.33±8.50) %, P < 0.05]. SASP group has a similar data in PT, APTT compared with colitis group and no statistical significance(P>0.05). The activity of AT in SASP group is higher than in colitis group [(122. 33±5.82)% vs (111.33±8.50)%,P <0.05]. The heparin therapy group showed lower macroscopical score(2.50±0.55 vs 4.75±1.16, P< 0.05), histological scores(3.83±0.41 vs 7.75±1.04, P<0.05) and the level of TNFα[(84.75± 18.03) ng/L vs (149.93±23.52)ng/L, P < 0.05] compared with the colitis group. Conclusion Coagulation was abnormality in the rat colitis model induced by TNBS; heparin therapy is effective in the colitis model It seemed that the abnormality of coagulation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the rat colitis model.
9.Expressions of colonic Toll-like receptor 2/4 in patients with diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome
Chinese Journal of Digestion 2009;29(2):105-108
Objective To study the expressions of Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 and TLR4 in colonic mucosa of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and in normal subjects. Methods Thirty patients with diarrhea predominant IBS and 12 healthy volunteers were enrolled. The expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 in colonic mucosa were examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC).TLR2 and TLR4 were semi-quantitative analyzed with average absorbence. Results Contrast to healthy controls, the lamina propria of IBS patients showed edema and looseness with lots of inflammatory cells infiltration. There was no difference in expression of TLR2 between healthy controls and IBS patients (P>0.05). Compared with healthy controls, TLR2 in crypt epithelium and TLR4 in luminal surface of IBS patients were significantly up-regulated (TLR2 : 6.7 % vs. 50.0 %,TLR4: 40.0% vs. 0, P<0. 05). The TLR4 expressed in intestine epithelial cell of both the apical surface and the basolateral surface in 86.7% of patients with IBS, and in 50% of healthy controls.The positive cells of TLR4 in lamina propria were higher in patients with IBS than those in healthy controls (70. 084 ± 21. 887 vs. 20. 577 ± 4. 546, P<0.01). The A values of TLR2 and TLR4 in colonic mucosa of the patients with IBS were higher than those in healthy controls (TLR2:0. 3079±0. 0283vs. 0.3886±0. 0510,TLR4:0. 3044±0. 0481 vs. 0. 3971 ±:010996,P<0. 01). Conclusions Inflammatory cells infiltrated into colonic mueosa in patients with IBS suggested that inflammation might participate in the pathogenesis of IBS. Up-regulated expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 in IBS patients supposed that they might contribute to the occurrence of IBS.

Chinese Journal of Digestion 2009;29(2):118-121
Objective To study the relationship between coagulation and inflammatory in 2,4,6- trinitrobenzenesulfonate (TNBS) induced colitis model as well as the therapeutic effect of warfarin.Methods Forty SD-rats were divided into 4 groups, including normal control group (received 0.9% HCI solution), colitis group, warfarin treated group (240 ng/kg daily) and salieylazosulfapyridine (SASP) treated group (100 mg/kg daily). The animal model was induced by injection with 20 mg TNBS. The blood and colon of the rats were removed and the rats was sacrificed at the 14th day. The index of coagulation such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and the activity of antithrombins (AT) and the level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were tested.The damage and inflammatory state of the colitis were evaluated by macroscopical score and histological score . The value of disease activity index (DAI) and the platelet counts were alsomeasured. Results The value of DAI was lower in warfarin (1.20±0.45) and SASP (1.78±0.90) treated groups as compared with colitis group (2. 25 ± 0. 89) with no difference (P>0. 05). The macroscopical score was lower in warfarin (1.40 ± 0.55) and SASP (3.14± 1.46) treated grouos as compared with colitis group (4.75 ± 1.66, P<0.01 ). The histological score in warfarin (4. 00± 1.41 ) and SASP (4.28 ± 1.49) treated groups were lower than that in colitis group (7. 75± 1.04, P<0.01). The level of TNF-α was lowest in normal control group (P<0. 01 ), and highest in colitis group. (P<0.01). The PT and APTT were shorter and the aetivity of AT was lower in colitis groupin comparison with warfarin treated group and normal control group (P<0.01). The platelet counts was highest in colitis group. P<0.01). Conclusion The abnormal coagulation in TNBS induced colitis can be effectively treated with warfarin.
