Chinese Journal of Digestion 2009;29(7):479-480
Objective To study the efficacy of esomeprazole in treatment of asthmatic patients with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) symptoms. Methods Sixty-nine asthmatic patients with GER symptoms were received esomeprazole 40 mg daily and mosapride 5 mg three times daily for 8 weeks. After that, esomeprazole 20 mg and mosapride 5 mg daily were prescribed to the patients for sustained therapy. The effect of asthma control was evaluated according to criteria for asthma control level made by Chinese Society of Respiratory Disease Asthma Group. All patients were followed up for 2 years.Results It was revealed that complete asthma control was achieved in 39 patients, well control in 25 patients and the total effective rate was 93 %. Asthma-control medication was stopped in 42 patients,dose reduced to 1/2 in 18 patients and continuous therapy in 9 patients. During 2 years follow-up, 58 patients were benefited from the treatment with complete asthma control and seldom attack of asthma was seen in 11 patients with reduced frequency and severity. Conclusion The symptoms of asthmatic patients with GER symptoms can be improved by esomeprazole, so that their quality of life areimproved.

Objective To determine whether normal-appearing cervical spinal cord in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has abnormal changes based on the quantitative measurement in healthy volunteers. Methods Conventional MRI and axial DTI were obtained in 16 patients with ALS (ALS group) and 16 age-matched control subjects (normal group) . ADC, fractional anisotropy (FA) and relative anisotropy(RA)imagcs were obtained on workstation (AW4. 2). ROIs (5 mm × 5 mm) were placed in anterior funicalus, posterior funiculus, and bilateral lateral corticospinal tracts (LCTs), respectively, at the same slice (C3). Independent-sample t test was used for comparison of parameters between the two groups. Correlations between DTI parameters of ALS and ALS course, Norris score, and ALSFRS were carried out separately by Pearson correlation analysis. Results FA and RA values of bilateral LCTs were decreased significantly. FA/RA values of left LCT were 0.762±0.089 and 0.762±0.107 in ALS group, while they were 0.863±0.098 and 0.890±0.105 in control group, respectively. FA/RA values of right LCT were 0.751±0.065 and 0.772±0.082 in ALS group, and they were 0.843±0.118 and 0.863±0.134 in control group, respectively, they were decreased significantly (t = 2.575、4.195、2.246、2.218, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences (t = - 1.319, - 1.087, P > 0.05) between ADC values of left and right CSTs in ALS group [(0.744±0.162) × 10~(-3), (0.767±0.141) × 10-~(3) mm~2/s] and control group [(0.640±0.149) ×10~(-3), (0.643±0.168) ×10~(-3) mm~2/s)]. FA, RA and ADC values of ALS patients in anterior funiculus were 0.637±0.113, 0.622±0.138, (0.950±0.354)×10~(-3) mm~2/s, in control group they were 0.670±0.117, 0.656±0.136, (0.865±0.238) × 10~(-3) mm~2/s, there were no significant differences (t = 0.854, - 0.704, - 1.155,P > 0.05). FA, RA and ADC values of ALS patients in posterior funieulus were 0.886±0.073, 0.920±0.100, (0.613±0.137)×10~(-3) mm~2/s, in control group they were 0.906±0.078, 0.914±0.135, (0.636±0.224) × 10~(-3) mm~2/s, there were no significant differences (t = 1.655, - 0.148, - 1.360; P > 0.05). No significant correlation existed between FA and RA values and disease course, Norris and ALSFRS score (P > 0.05), in left and right LCTs. Conclusion DTI with SE-EPI technique is simple and sensitive to detect the pathological changes of the cervical spinal cord in ALS patients. DTI can reveal the abnormalities which are "normal appearing" on conventional T_2WI.

Objective To explore the effect of high fat diet on serum biochemical parameters and histopathology of main organs in Mongolian gerbils.Methods Forty-eight healthy adult male Mongolian gerbils were randomly and equally divided into model and normal groups.The gerbils in the model group were fed with high fat diet while the normal group with standard diet.Eight gerbils in each group were killed at the end of 4th,8th and 16th week,respectively,and the body weight, serum levels of Glu, TG, CHOL, HDL-C, LDL-C, UA, CREA, BUN, TBil, TP, ALB, ALT, AST and AMS were determined.The histopathological changes of main organs were observed.Results Compared with the normal group,the blood lipid of the model gerbils was significantly increased, the liver function was impaired, the blood uric acid level was higher, and the blood glucose was decreased at the end of 16th week.The AMS was increased at the end of 16th week,but the renal function showed no significant changes.The liver tissue of the model group gradually showed steatosis, inflammation, fibrosis and cirrhosis, accompanied by splenomegalia. The lung tissue and myocardium showed fatty degeneration and obvious damages in the later period,the pancreatic islets were enlarged and the amount of endocrine cells was increased,and the small intestine and kidney didn’ t show any distinct changes.Conclusions A gerbil models of hyperlipidemia and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and cirrhosis can be well established by high fat diet feeding,and may serve as good models for research of hyperlipidemia-related hyperuricemia, and lung and myocardial damages.

Objective :To study a simplified method of isolation of rat hepatocytes and to observe the pro-cess of cell morphology in long-term culture. Methods :Rat hepatocytes were isolated by a single two-stepperfusion method. The yield and viability were assessed by trypan blue exclusion. [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] (MTT) was used to test the effect of serum concentration of newborn calf serum on the proliferation of hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were inoculated in the culture mediumconsisted of Williams' E supplemented with insulin,dexamethasone and 10% new born calf serum. Themorphologic change of cultured hepatocytes was observed. Results:The average yield of hepatocytes was 2.26× 108 cells per rat, with an average viability of 95.6%. New born calf serum had strong biological activi-ty to stimulate the proliferation of hepatocytes and there was close-effect relationship followed by the in-crease of new born calf serum concentration. The rat hepatocytes can be cultured for 5~ 6 weeks withpreservation of normal morphologic appearance. Conclusion:The rat hepatocytes isolated by the abovemethod have high yields and viability and can be long-term cultured in vitro.

Objective To analyze the popular characteristic and drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a hospital of Guiy-ang from January 201 1 to December 2013.Methods The distribution characteristic and drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical samples from January 201 1 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 642 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated for three years in our hospital from January 201 1 to December 2013,there was 57.0% isola-ted from sputum specimens,and 27.9% isolated from excreta of wound.The infected endemic area distribution was made up of Or-thopedic Surgery,ICU,Geriatrics Department and Respiratory Department accounting for 22.9%,20.1%,18.8% and 1 5.9% re-spectively.Pseudomonas aeruginosa was most sensitive to polymyxin bacillosporin.The drug resistance rates to Trimethoprim,Am-picillin and Cefazolin were all 100.0%.The drug resistance rates to Ampicillin/sulbactam and Ceftriaxone were 90.0%. Conclusion Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the main cause of lower respiratory tract infections in patients and wound infection and show serious multi-drug resistant,so it is necessary to use drugs reasonably according to the drug susceptibility results.
