Objective To explore the association of IL-10-592A/C polymorphism with the susceptibility to respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) bronchiolitis and disease severity,and to explore the impact of IL10-592A/C polymorphism upon total serum IL-10 levels in children with RSV bronchiolitis. Methods One hundred children (patients group) admitted to hospital with RSV bronchiolitis and 100 healthy children (control group) were recruited. PCR restriction length fragment polymorphism assay was used to detect the single nucleotide polymorphisms of IL-10-592A/C. Total serum IL-10 levels in patients group were assayed with ELISA. Results The genotype frequency of IL-10-592A/C were AA 44% ,AC 38% ,CC 18% in patients group ,and AA 41% ,AC 42% ,CC 17% in the control group,it showed no significant difference between two groups (χ2= 0. 33, P > 0. 05) . The frequency of each allele were A 63%, C 37 % in patient group, and A 64% ,C 36% in the control group,there was no significant difference in allele frequency between two groups (χ2=0. 43 ,P >0. 05) . There was no significant difference in total serum IL-10 levels between different genotype of IL-10-592A/C (F = 0. 87, P > 0. 05) . The differences in genotype frequency of IL-10-592A/C were not significant between mild and moderate to severe cases (χ2= 2. 67, P > 0. 05) . Conclusion IL-10-592A/C gene polymorphisms do not correlated with RSV bronchiolitis.

To investigate the influence of pressures change in gastric fundus in patients with reflux esophagitis (RE) to lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and motor function of lower esophagus. With gastro esophageal manometric catheter designed by the authors,the LESP and function of lower esophagus were synchronously measured,while the pressure in the gastric fundus was continuously increased, in 13 patients with RE and 8 healthy volunteers. The results showed that LESP and lower esophagus motor function of the RE group was significantly lower than that of the healthy group when the stomach was empty or when the pressure in the gastric fundus was increased.Whereas in the RE group, LES showed continuous relaxation,and frequent and transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation (TLESR) were observed. It suggested that RE is an upper digestive tract motor disorder disease caused by various factors,the main mechanisms underlying RE are lower basic LES pressure and lower esophagus motor function. The LES showed continuous relaxafion and frequent and transient TLESR when the stomach is inflated.

Objective To improve the success rate of selective cannulation of major papilla during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods When cannulation failed with conventional methods,ultra-fine guide wire combined with taped cannulation,precut papillotomy,guide wire pancreatic occupation technique,and percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) assisted rendezvous technique was applied to improve the success rate of cannulation of major papilla.Results A total of 5743 patients received ERCP in our hospital during last 5 years,with a success rate of cannulation of major papilla at 98.6% (5664/5743).For 396 patients with difficult cannulation under conventional methods,ultra fine guide-wire technique was applied in 20,pancreatic occupation technique in 67,precut technique in 294 and PTCD assisted rendezvous technique in 15,which achieved a success rate of 80.0% (317/396).Conclusion Application of combined techniques according to the features of papilla can increase success rate of difficult cannulation.

Objective To investigate the incidence, diagnosis and treatment of complications after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and to explore the ways of prevention. Methods Clinical data of 930 subjects, in which 510 were older than 60, with cholangiopancreatic diseases who underwent ERCP in the past 2 years were retrospectively analyzed. Results Success rate of ERCP was 96.34% (896/930),and the postoperative complication incidence was 7.85% (73/930). Of all the complications, there were 42 cases of acute pancreatitis, among which 1 was accompanied with biliary tract infection, 4 cases of duodenum perforation, 6 delayed hemorrhage, 2 cardiac dilacerations bleeding, and 19 biliary tract infection (5 combined with infectious shock). All subjects with complications were cured except for 2 deaths. Conclusion ERCP is a safe and effective method for elderly patients. However, due to decreased organ functions and other underlying diseases, complications after ERCP in elderly patients are usually difficult to manage. The key factors in prevention of complications after ERCP includes in obedience to indications, improvement in procedure skills, treatment of accompanied diseases before and after ERCP, and active management of complications.

Objective To investigate an effective endoscopic management of biliary anastomotic stric-tures (AS) following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and to evaluate the factors which may effect the ontcome. Methods Sixty-five patients, who were diagnosed as AS 3 months after OLT, underwent ERCP. Af-ter adequate dilation of the narrowing bile ducts, plastic stents, as many as possible, were inserted across the strictures and kept in place for at least six months. Results A total of 90 consecutive endoscopic procedures were performed in 65 patients. Before stents placement, the strictures were dilated by catheter or balloon (di-ameter range: 6-10 mm), or not dilated, according to the status of the bile ducts. An average of 3 (ranging from 2 to 6) plastic stents were placed with mean total size of 22.8 F (range 14-42 F), and the stents were kept for 8. 0 months on average (range 0.2-37.8 months). Of 90 procedures of stents placement, 54 (60%) were followed by stents removal and cholangiography, which confirmed stricture resolution in 26 (48.1%). The stricture resolution rate was 81.0% (17/21) in patients who underwent balloon dilation followed by more than 3 stents (> 21 F) for at least 3 months. Stricture re-occurred in 3 patients after stents removal, in whom stents were kept less than six months. Conclusion Endoscopic sequential intervention is effective for post-OLT biliary strictures according to the stage and grade. Radical dilation with maximal stenting can lead to complete resolution of AS. To achieve better result, if possible, balloon dilatation followed by three or mere endoprothe-ses (of at least 21 F) sustaining for more than 6 months is necessary.

ObjectiveTo retrospectively investigate the clinical features of the biliary tract complieations after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and the efficacy of endoscopy.MethodsThe LDLT patients with hiliary eomplieations were given endoscopic retrograde eholangiopanereatography (ERCP) and endoscopic therapies were carried out according to the result of eholangiogram.ResultsTwenty-one patients,among whom 43.8% were at early postoperative stage,underwent 28 endoscopic procedures.Nineteen patients (90.4%) had biliary anastomotic strictures with angled malformation.Bile leakage was found in 9 patients (42.9%).The success rate of endoscopic therapy was 85.7% ,including nose-bile drainage in 5,stent placement in 10,balloon dilatation and/or multiple stents placement in 9 and bile collection drainage in 2.During follow-up,leak heal was confirmed in 3 patients and stricture resolution was achieved in another 2 eases. ConclusionBiliary complication is relatively common in the early stage after LDIX,and severe anastomotie stricture with angled malformation is most frequently seen, usually associated with bile leakage. Series of endoscopic interventions with the strategy of "leak first,and then stricture"might achieve satisfactory outcome.

Objective:To evaluate the gastric emptying of orally administered enzyme-hydrolyzed rice flour solution before surgery in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy and effect on insulin resistance.Methods:One hundred patients, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 19-30 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=50 each) using a random number table method: water group (group C) and enzyme-hydrolyzed rice flour group (group M). Routine fasting and water deprivation were executed at 1 day before operation in two groups, and 300 ml water in group C or 300 ml enzyme-hydrolyzed rice flour solution in group M were taken orally at 2-3 h before induction on the day of surgery.Bedside antrum ultrasonography was used to calculate the gastric volume (GV) before oral administration (V 0), immediately after oral administration (V 1), and before induction (V 2), and then the ΔGV (GV 1-GV 0) was calculated.Fasting plasma glucose and insulin CONCENTRATIONS were measured on admission to hospital (T 1) and on an empty stomach on 1st morning after surgery (T 2), and then the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated according to HOMA steady-state model formula.Visual analog scale (VAS) scores for subjective comfort (thirst, hunger, fatigue and anxiety) and grip strength were assessed before anesthesia (T 3) and before leaving PACU (T 4). Reflux and aspiration during induction, nausea and vomiting within 24 h after surgery, and anal exhaust time after surgery were recorded. Results:There was no significant difference in GV at V 0, V 1 and V 2 between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the baseline at V 0, no significant was found in the GV at V 2 in both groups ( P>0.05). The fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and HOMA-IR were significantly increased at T 2 than at T 1 in both groups ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with group C, the fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and HOMA-IR were significantly decreased at T 2, VAS scores for hunger, fatigue and anxiety were decreased at T 3, 4, grip strength was increased at T 3, 4, the postoperative anal exhaust time was shortened, and the incidence of nausea was reduced in group M ( P<0.05). No reflux and aspiration happened during induction in either group. Conclusion:The gastric emptying of 300 ml enzyme-hydrolyzed rice flour solution orally administered at 2 h before surgery is normal in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which does not increase the risk of reflux and aspiration during anesthesia induction, reduces postoperative insulin resistance, and increases patient′s subjective comfort, and enhances the postoperative recovery of intestinal function.

It is worth promoting in the whole process of blood transfusion.

GC-MS metabolomics was used to investigate the effects of fudosteine on lung cancer A549 cells in an inflammatory microenvironment. Eleven metabolites (malic acid, isoleucine, lactose, galactinol, creatinine, gluconic acid, oleic acid, phosphate, S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine, uridine and tagatose) were identified in the metabolomics results and could be used as biomarkers of fudosteine treatment. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that the metabolic pathways of amino acids including isoleucine, valine, leucine, glycine, serine and threonine were significantly altered, as were the metabolic pathways of carbohydrates such as galactose and pentose phosphate. Fudosteine significantly reduced the level of inflammatory factors in A549 cells and corrected the inflammatory microenvironment by interfering with the effects of amino acid metabolites and amino acid metabolism pathways. This study reveals that fudosteine may be able to inhibit the continuous inflammatory response and prevent the further progression of lung cancer by suppressing the inflammatory microenvironment.
