Objective To investigate the protective effect of ulinastatin on the intestinal mucosal barrier in rats with ischemia-reperfusion.Methods Totally 24 SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups after clamping superiormesenteric artery for 1 h and reperfusion for 1 h: blank control group,control group and treatment group.Rats in the treatment group were injected with ulinastatin(50 000 U/kg) through vena dorsalis penis after ischemia-reperfusion model was induced.The control group underwent laparotomy with only the manipulation of the intestine and the same dose of saline was used through the same way.Specimens were obtained after ischemia-reperfusion model was induced.Dynamic turbidimetry was used to evaluate the effect of ulinastatin on the intestinal endotoxin translocation in rats.Apoptosis of mucosal cells was detected by TUNEL method,and the expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 mRNA were determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results The serum endotoxin level and apoptotic index of mucosal cells were evidently lower in blank control group than in control group(P

Cervical spondylosis is a clinical common disease. With people’s changes in living and working styles, the incidence of the disease increases gradually and there is a development trend in younger population. There are various ways to treat cervical spondylosis. This article summarizes and analyzes recent 10 years’ literature about acupuncture-moxibustion treatment for cervical spondylosis.

The formation, position, and branches of ansa cervicalis of 100 children were in-vestigated. Ansa cervicalis was found in 96 cases, among them 62 have one ansa, 33have two ansae and one has three ansae. Ansa cervicalis is classified into four types according to the different sources of thenervus descendens cervicalis of which it is composed. The majority of them are of thesecond type (74 cases); the third type are listed next in order (18 cases), the first andfourth types are rarely seen. In our series, in addition to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th cervical nerves, the 1st and 5thnerves also enter the formation of the ansa. With regard to the position of the ansae, it was found that 60.4% of them aresituated behind the internal carotid vein and 54.2% of them descend below the levelof the cricoid cartilage. The ansae, as related to the carotid sheath, are located within the sheath in 88cases (91.7%), and outside of the sheath in 8 cases (8.3%). According to our investigation, with the exception of the nerve of m. thyreohyoideuswhich arise from the hypoglossal nerves, the infrahyoid muscles (including m. omohyoi-deus, sternothyroideus, and sternohyoideus) are supplied by the descending branches ofthe hypoglossal nerve in 184 cases (30.7%) and by ansa cervicalis in 277 cases (46.2%).

Objective To study the clinical effect ofprednisone combined with Shuxuening injection on pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. Methods 120 cases were randomly recruited into a treatment group and a control group. The control group was treated with prednisone, and the treatment group was additionally given Shuxuening injection on the basis of the control group. The changes of vital capacity (VC), PO_2, PCO_2 and imaging were observed. Results The total effective rate was 81.67% and 66.67% in the treatment group and the control group Respectively, showing significant difference (P<0.05). VC and PO_2 were raised in both groups after the treatment (P<0.05), while the treatment group showed better results than the control group (P<0.05). PCO2 were also raised in both groups after the treatment (P<0.05), while there was no significant diference between the two groups (P > 0.05). There were 27 cases (45.00%) and 19 cases (31.67%) showed improvement in imaging in the treatment group and the control group respectively, manifesting a significant difference (P<0.05) . Conclusion Treatment of prednisone with Shuxuening injection is better than prednisone on pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. This method is worthy of clinic promotion.

Objective To study the effect of continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) on the clearances of various solutes in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)dogs.Methods Dogs were subjected to hemorrhagic shock plus resuscitation and endotoxemia to set up MODS model,then they were randomly divided into 2 groups: MODS group (M group)and MODS+CVVHDF group (M+C group).A PRISMA pre-dilution system with AN-69 filter was applied.Solute clearance of nitric oxide(NO),urea nitrogen(UN),creatinine (Cr),interleukin-6 (IL-6),interleukin-10 (IL-10),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and endotoxin (LP) was determined with same dialysate and ultrafiltrate volume during CVVHDF.The clearance of various solutes (Kd) was calculated by the concentration of the cleared solutes in effluents (E) based on the formula Kd=(ExQE)/P.Results Clearances of NO,UN,Cr were greater than those of IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α,LP during the treatment of CVVHDF.Conclusion CVVHDF could effectively reduce the levels of various solutes in the development of MODS by convection and absorption.

Objective To assess the mutagenicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) extracted from the atmospheric particulates collected from different aerodynamic sizes,seasonal variation and the sampled sites,and to detect the effect of these factors on the mutagenic activity of PAHs.Methods PAHs were extracted from the atmospheric particulates(PM10 and PM2.5) collected from two different sites,business area and industrial area(summer and winter respectively).The mutagenicity of these PAHs samples was evaluated by the Salmonella mutagenicity assay(Ames assay),using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 with and without metabolic activation(S9).Each sample was assayed in three doses(125,250 and 500?g per plate).Results All samples induced the number of revertants to be higher measured with TA98 with and without S9 mix.The level of specific mutagenic activity measured with strain TA98 was higher than TA100.Metabolic activation with the S9 fraction increased the mutagenicity of the industrial area samples studied for the strain TA98.All groups showed a good dose-response relationship of mutagenicity(P

A case of vagus nerve invasion with disseminated herpes zoster was reported. Clinical manifestation of disseminated herpes zoster and vagus nerve injury. relevant imaging examination and laboratory examination can help to establish a preliminary diagnosis. Anti-virus, anti-infection and symptomatic treatment had been performed and showed good clinical efficacy.

Objective To explore the diagnosis,treatment and outcome of testicular torsion in children. Methods The clinical data (including the onset,treatment and prognosis) of 19 children of acute testicular torsion were reviewed.The age ranged from 5 days to 13 years. Results There were 15 cases of left side testicular torsion and 4 cases of right side.All of the 19 cases underwent operation.Seventeen cases were with intravaginal torsion,of these 14 testicles were removed for necrosis and only 3 testicles were salvaged by operative detorsion.Two cases were of extravaginal torsion with testicular necrosis and therefore were removed. Conclusions Testicular torsion is a common emergency of scrotum in children.Immediately operation after admission to hospital is the key treatment for salvage of the testicle.
