AIM: To observe the pathological role of 3-nitrotynosine (3-NT) on Escherichia coli LPS-induced vascular hyporeactivity in rats and the therapeutic effect of antioxidants. METHODS: Forty male SD rats weighting from 200 g to 250 g were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (n=10); LPS shock group (n=10); uric acid-treated group (n=10); melatonin-treated group (n=10). 6 h after LPS shock, phenylephrine (0.5-2.5 ?g?kg -1) was applied intravenously to all groups and the percentage increase in MAP was detected, respectively. The concentration-response curve of aorta rings from all groups rats were obtained by cumulative addition of phenylephrine (PE), and PE E_ max, EC_ 50 were calculated. The concentrations of plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), nitrate/nitrite and 3-NT were assayed in all groups 6 h after LPS shock. RESULTS: The MAP level induced by PE significantly decreased to 54.60% in LPS shock rats compared with the control (P

Objective To observethe effect of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) on serum level of antibrain-antibody (ABAb) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.Methods Thirtysix patients with severe traumatic brain injury were randomly divided into control group (19 patients) and CVVH group (17 patients).The control group accepted conventional treatment,the CVVH group accepted CVVH treatment additionally for 7 d.ELISA was used to measure serum level of ABAb at 1,3,5,7,14 d after treatment.The change of ABAb in serum of each group was observed.The scores of Glasgow coma scale (GCS) was assessed everyday.Results The level of ABAb in CVVH group was significantly lower than that in control group from the third day after treatment[the third day:(1.28 ± 0.25) kU/L vs.(1.33 ± 0.30) kU/L;the fifth day:(1.37 ±0.17) kU/L vs.(1.42 ±0.22) kU/L;the seventh day:(1.45 ±0.37) kU/L vs.(1.52 ± 0.35) kU/L;the fourteenth day:(1.49 ± 0.41) kU/L vs.(1.67 ± 0.39) kU/L,P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01].The scores of GCS in CVVH group was significantly higher than that in control group from the seventh day after treatment [the seventh day:(6.95 ± 1.24) scores vs.(5.74 ± 1.51) scores;the fourteenth day:(9.29 ± 1.76) scores vs.(7.22 ± 1.24) scores] (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion CVVH can decrease the level of ABAb and improve the prognosis.

Objective To summarize and classify the CT manifestations of chest wall tuberculosis and to investigate the relationship between CT classification and clinical operation method.Methods CT data of 142cases was collected from patients that were confirmed by surgical pathology of chest wall tuberculosis.Bone algorithm reconstruction and volume rendring three-dimensional reconstruction were applied to observe ribs.Results Four types were classified according to the CT manifestations.Type Ⅰ:27 cases pleural tuberculoma,and all of which were conducted simple removal of lesions.Type Ⅱ:18 cases sternum or ribs tuberculosis,which were conducted surgical removal of the invaded frame and the surrounding lesions in caseous necrosis and all the tuberculous granuloma.Type Ⅲ:21 cases rib outboard tuberculosis,of which 12 cases were conducted simple removal of lesions and 9 cases removal of lesions and small segment of ribs.Type Ⅳ:76 cases hybrid,of which abscess excision plus rib resection in 65 cases and resection with chest wall abscess (muscle) between ribs and rib resection with padded muscle flap surgery in 11 cases.Conclusions CT can clearly show the location,size,scope of involvement of the chest wall tuberculosis,and selecting the preoperative surgical strategy based on CT classification can provide guidance for operation.

With the aging of the population,management of cancer in the elderly aged people represents a priority for health care.However,fewer evidence-based data are available to promote the treatment of these patients.Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is developed recently as a multi-disciplinary in-depth evaluation to assess life expectancy and risk of morbidity from cancer in elderly patients,which is helpful for physicians to develop a coordinated plan for cancer treatment and to provide appropriate interventions to decrease the risk of morbidity and mortality.

AIM: To observe the effect of heat shock protein 70(HSP70) expression induced by glutamine on Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharides(LPS)-induced vascular hyporeactivity in rats.METHODS: Twenty four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into: the control group (n=8); LPS shock group (n=8); glutamine(Gln) treated group (Gln 0.75 g?kg-1 iv, n=8). 6 h after LPS shock, phenylephrine (PE, 0.5-2.5 ?g?kg-1 ) was applied intravenously to all groups and the percentage increase in mean arterial pressure(MAP) was detected, respectively. The concentration-response curves of aorta rings were obtained by cumulative addition of phenylephrine (PE), and PE Emax, EC50 were calculated. The blood concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), TNF-? and IL-6 were assayed in all groups 30 min and 360 min after LPS shock, respectively. The expressions of HSP70 from heart and aorta were also assayed after 6 h LPS shock.RESULTS: The MAP level induced by PE significantly decreased by 51.4% in LPS shock group compared with the control (P

OBJECTIVETo observe the lower gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors CT virtual endoscopy and pathology, and to explore its possible mechanism.

METHODSSelect 80 patients suspected colon gastroenterology treat in the hospital gastroenterology department, randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 40 cases in experimental group were given CT virtual endoscopy and pathological check, the control group received conventional colonoscopy and pathological check, and all the results compared with the pathological results.

RESULTSCompared with the pathological test results, consistent rate with the experimental group reached 94.73%, the same rate was 92.85% in control group. The difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSCT virtual endoscopy can quickly image and draw detailed information, and can improve the sensitivity and specificity of cancer diagnosis greatly. Clinically, CT virtual endoscopy have the same function as colonoscopy, can replace colonoscopy, can be important complement of electronic colonoscopy by those who cannot tolerate electronic colonoscopy or have contraindications. Its value is worth taking a step forward in-depth study.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane on the systemic inflammatory response and cardiopulmonary function in septic shock rats. Methods Thirty-two SD rats, 8-10 months old, weighing 250-300 g, were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 8 each): sham operation group (group S), cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) induced septic shock group (group CLP) , sevoflurane I group (group SEV, ) and sevoflurane II group (group SEV,). The abdomen was opened but CLP was not performed in group S. The septic shock was induced by CLP as described by Baker et al. Group SEV, and SEV, inhaled 2.4% sevoflurane for 30 min at 1 h and 3 h after the successful establishment of the model respectively. At 1, 3 and 5 h after septic shock, MAP and HR were recorded and arterial blood samples were taken for blood gas analysis and determination of plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1, MDA and NO. The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) and cardiac output (CO) were also detected 5 h after septic shock. The animals were killed after the detection of cardiac function. The lungs were removed for determination of W/D lung weight ratio and Evans blue (EB) content. The tissues from the heart, lung, liver and kidney were taken for detection of NF-kB activity by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) ResultsMAP was significantly lower, HR higher, LVEDD, LVESD, LVFS, CO, pH value, PaO2 and PaCO2 lower, and W/D lung weight ratio, EB content, plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1, MDA and NO, and NF-kB activity in the heart, lung, liver and kidney tissues higher in group CLP, SEV, and SEV2 than in group S (P < 0.05). NF-kB activity in the heart, lung, liver and kidney tissues and plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1, MDA and NO were significantly lower in group SEV, than in group CLP and SEV2 ( P < 0.05 ), but no significant differences were found in the other indices between group SEV, and CLP and between group SEV1 and SEV2 ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Inhalation of 2.4% sevoflurane for 30 min 1 h after septic shock can inhibit the systemic inflammatory response slightly, but can not improve the cardiopulmonary function in rats with CLP-induced septic shock.
