ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between anastomotic leakage of patients undergoing colonic surgery and the collagen metabolism of colonic wall.Method We measured the overall collagen content of colonic tissue by biochemistry and detected the collagen I, III, MMP-1,MMP-13 by immunohistochemistry in 16 patients with anastomotic leakage compared with 16 control cases. Resultthe overall collagen content and collagen I,III of colonic wall in the leakage group were lower than those in the control group (t=3.417,t=2.841, t=2.261,P

Objective To explore the risk factors and prevention measures for anastomotic leakage after rectal radical resection.Methods The clinical data of 404 patients with rectal radical resection were analyzed retrospectively and the risk factors for anastomotic leakage were analyzed.Results Thirty-one patients (7.67％,31/404) were subjected to anastomotic leakage.The mean leakage time was 6.5 (3-14) d postoperatively.The muhivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative hemoglobin (OR =3.023,95％ CI:1.101-8.303,P=0.031 8),tumor size (OR =2.543,95％ CI:1.075-6.018,P=0.033 7) and tumor distance from anal verge (OR =3.160,95％ CI:1.387-7.199,P=0.006 2) were the risk factors for anastomotic leakage.Conclusions Preoperative hemoglobin,tumor size and tumor distance from anal verge are significant factors for anastomotic leakage.Therefore correction of anemia,improvement of surgical technique and suitable use of preventive diversion stoma ane all benefit for prevention of anastomotic leakage after rectal radical resection.

Objective To study drug resistance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia ( CRKP) in neonates hospitalized in the neonatal unit , and to identify the risk factors for CRKP colonization in neonates .Methods Totally 108 neonates with Klebsiella pneumonia colonization admitted in Department of Neonates , the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University during January 2012 and June 2014 were enrolled in the study , including 23 cases with CRKP colonization ( case group ) and 85 cases with carbapenem-sensitive Klebsiella pneumonia (CSKP) colonization (control group).Chi-square test and fisher exact test were used to compare the differences in resistance to 21 antibiotics between CRKP and CSKP . Univariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the risk factors for CRKP colonization in neonates .Results All of the CRKP strains were resistant to penicillins , cephalosporins and SMZco, and 95.7% and 87.0% of the CRKP strains were resistant to meropenem and imipenem , respectively.All of the CRKP strains were susceptible to amikacin , gentamicin, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline, but were highly resistant to the rest 16 antibiotics compared with CSKP strains (all P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that 14 factors were associated with CRKP colonization: exposure to cefoxitin (χ2 =20.053, P<0.01), sputum suction (χ2 =15.817, P<0.01), gastrointestinal decompression (χ2 =10.731, P<0.01), nasogastric feeding (χ2 =15.146, P<0.01), invasive procedure (χ2 =22.572, P<0.01), birth weight (χ2 =6.026, P<0.05), frequency of sampling for CRKP/CSKP (χ2 =18.577, P<0.01), hypertension of pregnancy (χ2 =8.698, P<0.01), premature birth (χ2 =4.904, P<0.05), prenatal hospitalization experience (χ2 =8.396, P<0.01), adequacy for gestational age (χ2 =7.295, P<0.05), gestational age (χ2 =7.294, P<0.05), rupture of membranes (χ2 =9.397, P<0.01), length of hospitalization (χ2 =14.649, P<0.01) and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) (OR=11.050, P<0.01).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension of pregnancy (OR=9.718, P<0.01), rupture of membranes ( <24 h) (OR=6.640, P<0.01) and admission to NICU ( OR=4.119, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for CRKP colonization .Conclusions CRKP strains are highly resistant to most antibiotics .Preventing hypertension of pregnancy and rupture of membranes , and monitoring bacterial resistance in NICU may help to reduce the occurrence of CRKP colonization and dissemination .

Objective To investigate the impact of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on intestinal mucosa permeability and the protective effect of probiotics in mice with acute liver failure (ALF).Methods Thirty male BALB/c mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into normal control,ALF and intervention groups (10 for each group).Mice in intervention group were fed with live combined bifidobacterium and lactobacillus (900 mg · kg-1 · d-1) by gavage,while those in normal control and ALF groups were fed with normal saline (9 mL · kg-1 · d-1).After two weeks,mice in ALF and intervention groups were given an intraperitoneal injection of D-galactosamine (3.0 g/kg) to induce liver failure,and all mice were sacrificed 9 h after the injection.Biochemical markers were tested,expressions of TNF-α mRNA in liver tissues and zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1) mRNA in ileum tissues were detected by real-time PCR,and the expression of ZO-1 protein in ileum tissues was detected by Western blotting.One-way analysis of variance or Kraskal-Wallis test was performed to explore the differences in biochemical markers,TNF-α mRNA,ZO-1 mRNA and ZO-1 protein expressions among groups,and Pearson test was used to analyze the correlations between the expression of ZO-1 protein in ileum tissues and serum level of TNF-α or plasma levels of endotoxins.Results Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),TNF-α and plasma level of endotoxins in ALF group were significantly higher than those in normal control group (P ＜0.01) ; while compared with ALF group,the above biomarkers were significantly decreased in the intervention group (P ＜ 0.01).The expression of TNF-α mRNA in liver tissues in ALF group was higher than that in the normal control group (Z =4.038,P ＜ 0.01) ; while compared with ALF group,it was decreased in intervention group (Z =3.780,P ＜ 0.01).The expressions of ZO-1 mRNA and ZO-1 protein in ileum tissues in ALF group were lower than those in normal control group (P ＜ 0.01) ; while compared with ALF group,those in intervention group were increased (P ＜ 0.01).Pearson analysis showed that the expression of ZO-1 protein in ileum tissues was negatively correlated with serum level of TNF-α level and plasma level of endotoxin (r =-0.946 and-0.919,both P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions TNF-α may be involved in the increased permeability of intestinal mucosa in mice with ALF.Live combined bifidobacterium and lactobacillus may relieve liver damages through inhibiting endotoxin synthesis and release,and ameliorate the permeability of intestinal mucosa through up-regulating ZO-1 protein expression.

Objective To explore the effects of knocking down ULF gene on the apoptosis of non-small-cell carcinoma H1299 cell after treatment with etoposide.Methods Three ULF small interfering RNA(siRNA)sequences and one negative control siRNA sequence were designed and synthesized, and then individually transfected into H1299 cell via lentivirus.The interference efficiency of ULF-siRNA were screened by real-time PCR and Western blotting.Then the most target siRNA was used for apoptosis assay after treatment with etoposide,MTT assay for H1299 cell proliferation,flow cytometry for cell cycle distribution. Results The expression of ULF gene and its protein ULF were down-regulated in H1299 cell when transfected with ULF-siRNA,and ULF-siRNA-1 was the most effective one,which had the highest inhibition rate(80%)of ULF expression.Compared with negative control group,ULF-siRNA group showed an obvious apoptosis after treatment with etoposide,and the inhibition rate of was higher than control group,which was positively correlated with etoposide dose,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05 ).Flow cytometry showed that compared with the control group,G0/G1 cell cycle in ULF-siRNA group was increased,and S phase cells was decreased,the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Down-regulation ULF protein expression through treatment with etoposide can induce apoptosis of non-small-cell carcinoma H1299 cells,and inhibit cell proliferation,which lead to cell cycle arrest.ULF gene may become the new target of gene therapy for cancer.
