Objective To study the effect of early postoperative enteral nutrition on patients after gastrectomy and nursing strategy. Methods Sixty patients with gastric cancer were assigned into the observation group and the control group after gastrectomy.Both groups accepted the regular nursing nutrition.The observation group also received early postoperative enteral nutritional supply 12 hours postoperation.The nutritional conditions, immune conditions, anal exsufflation and defecation and complications between two groups were recorded both preoperation and on the 8th day postoperation.χ2test and t test were used. Results On the 8th day postoperation,the observation group was better than the control group in prealbumin, serum albumin, transferrin, fibronectin and total protein,lymphocyte count, IgA, IgG and IgM.The observation group was also superior to the control group in recovery time of bowel sound, anal exsufflation and defecation, foodintake time, expense of nu-trition treatment, hospitalization time and incidence rate of complication. Conclusions The early postoperative enteral nutrition can promote nutritional condition, advance immunity, improve functional rehabilitation of gastrointestine and reduce the incidence rate of complication and hospitalization time.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of postprocessing technique of spiral CT images in chest diseases.Methods Chest spiral CT was performed in 105 cases and 10 normal controls.The postprocessing images were done using software and compared to conventional CT, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, operation and pathological results. Results The postprocessing images had better MPR and 3D view of organs, nice contrast between of lesion and sorroundings structures.This postprocessing techniques provided more informations in observing and analysing the chest disease.Conclusion Postprocessing technique of spiral CT images is an important complimentation for 2D CT analysis, and has many advantages especially on thoracic disease diagnosis,but they should be applied in combination with two-dimensional CT to achieve accurate diagnosis.

Objective To assess the value and safety of SonoVue in ultrasonic diagnosis of abdominal diseases. Methods A total of 204 patients (149 male, 55 female) with abdominal examination of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) with SonoVue from August 2007 to February 2009 were reviewed. Results Definitive diagnosis were obtained 215 times in 204 patients (233 times) with abdominal CEUS. The diagnostic accuracy of CEUS was 92.27%, significant higher than that of conventional ultrasonography (62.23%). Anaphylactic shock happened 1 time (0.43%) in 1 patient. Conclusion CEUS with SonoVue can provide a high diagnostic accuracy with relatively safety of the possibility of serious adverse event.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic advantages of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in experimental abdominal blunt trauma in comparison of routine ultrasonogrphy. Methods Liver, spleen and kidney blunt trauma models were established in 10 canines and 12 rabbits. Both routine ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography were performed to identify the possible injury. Accuracy of the two ultrasonic technologies was compared in diagnosing each kind of organ and various injury degrees. Results Fifty-six trauma models including 22 livers, 14 spleens and 20 kidneys were established. There was significant difference between two ultrasonic methods in diagnosing liver, spleen and kidney injury (P<0.01);and contrast-enhanced ultrasonogarphy had particular advantage in detecting minor injuries of Ⅰ-Ⅱ scale (P<0.01). Conclusion Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography greatly enhances diagnostic accuracy of blunt abdominal solid organ trauma, especially in minor injuries.

Objective To evaluatethe curative effect of the integrative treatment of point injection, warm acupuncture and Chinese medicine enema for the chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.Methods A total of 86 patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory diseasewere divided into control group and treatment group, 43 patients in each group , according to the random number table. The control group was treated by warm acupuncture combined with Chinese medicine enema, while the treatment group was treated with point injection plus the basis of control group. The levels of serum CRP, IL-1 and IL-6 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,the plasma viscosity and hematocrit were detected by automatic blood rheological test instrument,the symptom scores of 2 groups were compared before and after treatment, the clinical efficacy was evaluated and the recurrence rate was observed. Results The clinical effective rate of treatment group patients was 97.7% (42/43), and the control group 81.4% (35/43). The difference between two groups was significant (χ2=6.081,P=0.014). After treatment, the levels of CRP (7.53 ± 3.44 mg/L vs. 10.11 ± 3.02 mg/L,t=-3.696), IL-1β (26.37 ± 13.98 pg/mL vs. 36.33 ± 4.02 pg/mL,t=-4.490) andIL-6 (23.31 ± 10.11 pg/mlvs. 29.56 ± 4.27 pg/ml,t=-3.734)in the treatment group were significant lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The scores of pain (2.13 ± 0.55vs.2.71 ± 0.62,t=-4.589), tiredness (1.07 ± 0.98 vs. 2.53 ± 0.52,t=-8.630), Body cold (1.51 ± 0.51 vs. 2.21 ± 0.67,t=-5.451), menstrual symptoms (1.27 ± 0.97 vs. 2.29 ± 0.78, t=-5.374) and total points (6.13 ± 3.94vs. 8.55 ± 1.82,t=-3.656) in the treatment group were significant lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The plasma viscosity (1.13 ± 0.25 mPa?svs. 1.41 ± 0.32 mPa?s,t=-4.521) and the red blood cells deposited (0.27% ± 0.08% vs. 0.41% ± 0.07%,t=-8.636) in the treatment group were significant lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The recurrence rate of treatment group was none, while 11.43% (4/35) in control group. Thus, the recurrence rate of treatment group was significantly lower than the control group (χ2=5.063,P=0.024). Conclusions The integrative treatment of point injection, warm acupuncture and Chinese medicine enema can reduce the level of inflammatory factors in patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, improve the blood microcirculation, and reduce the recurrence rate.

Aim To investigate the effect of PLK1 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)of human e-sophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)cells TE-1 5 and its relevant molecular mechanisms.Methods PLK1 overexpressed ESCC cells and control vector were used as the experimental cells.The expression of EMT-related protein markers E-cadherin and vimentin were measured by Western blot.vimentin mRNA was measured by Real-time PCR.Total cellular protein and nuclear protein were respectively extracted,and then they were used to detect the expression of β-catenin by Western blot.β-catenin siRNA and non-specific siR-NA were transiently transfected into the cell clones overexpressed PLK1 ,and then vimentin was detected by Western blot.β-catenin protein degradation com-plex was detected by immunoprecipitation and Western blot.Results The mesenchymal marker vimentin was distinctively upregulated and the epithelial marker E-cadherin was distinctively downregulated in the cell clones overexpressed PLK1 ,compared with those in the vector clones.This indicated that EMT occurred in ESCC cells.vimentin mRNA was also markedly in-creased.In the cell clones overexpressed PLK1 ,β-catenin were both elevated from the total cells and the nucleus.The expression of vimentin was reduced whenβ-catenin was knocked down.APC and GSK-3βwere both reduced from Axin immunoprecipitate in the cell clones overexpressed PLK1 .Conclusion PLK1 up-regulates vimentin and promotes EMT in ESCC cells probably by inhibiting the formation of protein degrada-tion complex and stabilizing β-catenin.
