Chinese Journal of Digestion 2001;0(03):-
Objective An investigation was conducted to assess the chemopreventive effects of celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase(COX)-2 inhibitor, on a rat colon carcinogenesis model induced by dimethylhydrazine (DMH). The results were compared with those of sulindac. Methods Thirty-two 8-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=8 each):Group A rats were treated with DMH(120 mg/kg wt, single subcutaneous injection) alone and group B rats were treated with saline alone. Group C rats were pre-treated with sulindac (320 mg/kg feedstuff) and group D rats pre-treated with celecoxib (1500 mg/kg feedstuff) for 7 days before DMH initiation. The animals were killed at the end of the experiment (week 5) and the aberrant crypt foci(ACF) and aberrant crypt(AC) of the colonic mucosa were assessed after being stained with methylene blue. Results In group A(DMH only), the average numbers of ACF and AC were 182.4?93.43 and 262.8?197.8 respectively. In group B (saline group) rats, no ACF was found. In group C (sulindac group) rats, the average numbers of ACF and AC were 91.25?48.98 and 139.60?68.52 respectively, both of them were decreased significantly as compared with those in Group A (P

Objective To investigate the effects of su lindac on sporadic colorectal adenomas. Methods Thirty-six patients diagnosed as sporadic colorect al adenomas colonoscopically and pathologically were randomly divided into t wo groups. The study group took 400 mg of sulindac daily and the control group w ere given placebo both for 4 months. Changes of number, size, figure and degree of atypia of adenomas were compared before and after treatment. Results Sixteen patients in each group finished the trial. In the study group, the average diameter of 59 adenomas before and after the treatment was (3.6?2.2) mm and (2.4?1.5) mm, respectively. The difference was statist ica lly significant (P0.05) nor were the changes in figure and degree of atypia of adenomas. Conclusions Sulindac is effective in the reduction of size and a typ ia degree of adenomas in patients with sporadic colorectal adenomas but the long term effects of sulindac in patients with sporadic colorectal adenomas should b e observed.

Objective To overview the clinical and endoscopic features of the ischemic colitis. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted. Results Of the 60 cases, 87% were over 50 years, and females were more than males. 76.7% of the cases were associated with the basal diseases such as cardio cerebrovascular disorders, diabetes and hematological diseases as well as the history of abdominal operation. Colonoscopy showed mucosal edema, congestion, erosion and ulceration. 87.1% of the cases were cured after treatment and 16.7 % were improved. The outcome may be associated with the age, severity of the lesion, course, basal diseases and the complications. Conclusions Endoscopy plays a vital role in the early diagnosis of ischemic colitis.

Objective To explore the diagnostic index of the obesity with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA).Methods The total and local parameters(the fat composition of the arm,leg,trunk and total body) in obesity group (135 cases) and the control group(75 cases) were measured with DEXA scan.The fat composition and distribution of body in the obesity and the healthy subject in different age and sex were analysed.The diagnostic index of obesity and healthy persons determined by DEXA.Results There was no significant difference between DEXA and the platform scale to weigh all the subjects.The fat content of the arm,leg,trunk and total body in the control group and the obesity group were respectively got.The P_5(the lowest limit of 95% confidence interval of obesity fat percentage)value of the obesity male was 23(P_5=23),while the female was 29(P_5=29)).There was no significant difference between DEXA and the BMI method in the positive result of the obesity.The total body fat content in the obesity group was higher than that of the control group in each age and sex group.The fat content of the female was higher than that of the male regardless of obesity group or control group.Conclusion The obese cut off point is 23% in male and 29% in female in the total body fat content.

Objective An investigation was conducted to assess the effects and mechanism of celecoxib [a selective cyclooxygenase(COX) 2 inhibitor] on a rat colitis model induced by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). Methods The rats were divided into four groups. Group 1 and group 2 were experimental groups. Group 3 and group 4 were control groups. Colitis was induced by intracolonic administration of TNBS (25 mg/ml) in a vehicle of 50% ethanol (0.25 ml) in rats of experiment groups. Three hours before induction of colitis ,the rats were beginning and continuing to treat orally with celecoxib (1.25 mg/kg, group 1) and distilled water (1 ml/0.3 kg, group 2) twice per day for 7 days , respectively. The rats in group 4 were treated orally with celecoxib (1.25 mg/kg) twice per day for 7 days. Group 3 served as healthy control. All rats that survived until the end of the experiment (7 d) were killed and the severity of damage were assessed. The prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations of colonic mucosa were tested by radioimmunoassay. Results The colonic damage scores were 11.15?3.3 in group 1 and 8.50?2.82 in group 2. Both were significantly higher than that of group 3 (0.62?0.09)( P

Objective To systematic evaluate the efficacy of paricalcitol on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proteinuria in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.Methods According to the collaborative search strategy,PubMed,the clinical control test database of Cochrane Library,Embase,Chinese Wanfang database,CNKI,VIP database (form the date of database establishment to March 2014) were searched.Published and unpublished literature,abstracts in academic meetings (ASN,WCN,CSN) were also searched by hand.The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the efficacy paricalcitol on eGFR and proteinuria in non-dialysis CKD patients were selected.Review Manager Software 5.2 was used for statistical analysis.Results Seven RCTs with a total of 834 patients were included (508 in experimental group,326 in placebo group).No statistical difference of the efficacy on eGFR[SMD=-0.10,95% CI:(-0.28-0.07),P=0.26] between lower dose paricalcitol (< 2 μg/d) group and placebo group,while higher dose (2 μg/d) group reduced eGFR significantly [SMD=-0.45,95% CI:(-0.63--0.27),P < 0.01].Compared with placebo,paricalcitol reduced proteinuria significantly [OR(95%C1):2.09(1.52-2.58),P < 0.01],and there was no difference between different dose groups [OR(95%CI):1.09(0.62-1.91),P=0.77].Lower dose group [OR(95%C1):0.93(0.57-1.52),P=0.76] and higher dose group [OR(95% CI):2.08(0.70-6.18),P=0.19] did not significantly increase the risk of adverse events.Conclusions Lower dose paricalcitol (< 2 μg/d)has no effect on eGFR in non-dialysis CKD patients meanwhile reduces proteinuria.The higher dose (2μg/d) may reduce eGFR without farther reduction in proteinuria.

Objective To compare CT performance of the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)with postoperative pathology and to probe their relationships with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)expression in order to provide more information for the treatment.Methods Clinical data of 75 patients with HCC were enrolled,including preoperative plain and enhanced CT scans,post-operative results of HE staining and immunohistochemical one of VEGF.The CT manifestations were compared with the pathological results of the HCC,and the relationship of CT findings and the VEGF expression was anlyzed.Results There was significant differ-ence between the liver cirrhosis or lymph node enlargement on CT in 75 patients with HCC and the pathology (P <0.05);However the tumor diameter,tumor emboli of portal vein and hepatic vein on CT were similar to those in pathology,exhibiting no statistically significant difference (P >0.05).The psuedocapsule of HCC,tumor size,pathological blood vessel,and tumor necrosis were related with the VEGF expression (P <0.05);However the tumor emboli of portal vein and hepatic vein,cirrhosis of the liver and intrahe-patic lesions (single or multiple)and lymph node enlargement were not related with VEGF expression (P >0.05).Conclusion The CT manifestations of HCC are closely related to the expression of VEGF.CT may reflect the pathological and biological characteris-tics of HCC with some limitations.
