Abstract:Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is one of the most common liver diseases in the world. Long-term alcoholism causes a series of pathological changes in the liver, which eventually leads to the occurrence of liver diseases with an increasing incidence. At present, significant progress has been made in the pathogenesis and pathological development of alcoholic liver disease, but the relevant mechanism of ALD has not been thoroughly studied. It is necessary to improve the existing animal model or establish a new, more comprehensive animal ALD model to simulate human ALD. Experimental animal models of ALD, especially rodents, are often used to simulate human ALD, and the ideal rodent ALD model can effectively simulate all aspects of alcohol in human liver. But so far, the commonly used animal models all have certain defects, and there is no complete animal model that can simulate human ALD. This paper reviewed the pathogenesis of ALD, related methods and influencing factors of ALD model, and provided a theoretical basis for relevant researchers to establish the ALD rodent model. 

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of early enteral nutrition by gastroscopeguided naso-jejunal feeding tube placement on the intestinal endotoxemia of patient with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods Fourty-three patients were randomized into two groups:patients receiving early enteral nutrition (EN) by gastroscope-guided naso-jejunal feeding tube placement (24 cases) and those receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) ( 19 cases).The serum endotoxin(ET),albumin (ALB) and amylase (AMY) levels were measured.Abdominal distension and other complications were observed in the two groups.Results The abdominal pain and distension relief time,intestinal bleeding,infectious complications of EN group were significantly improved compared with that of TPN group ( P ＜ 0.01 或 P ＜ 0.05 或 P ＜ 0.001 ).The serum ET levels of EN group was much lower ( [ 0.19 ± 0.11 ] EU/ml) than that of TPN group ( [ 0.85 ± 0.28 ] EU/ml)on day 14 post-treatment (t =10.456,P ＜ 0.001 ).The serum AMY levels were decreased significantly in two groups after treatment,and the difference between two groups was not significant (t =3.l17,t =1.889,P ＞0.05 ).The serum ALB recovery of two groups was not significantly different ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion Gastroscope-guided Naso-jejunal feeding tube placement for early enteral nutrition can protect intestinal mucosa,reduce complications,alleviate symptoms of patients with SAP,which are benefitial factors for the treatment of intestinal endotoxemia in patients with SAP.

Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical effect of modified peroneal artery perforatorbased propeller flap which excludes small saphenous vein and sural nerve for coverage of the soft tissue defects of the ankle and foot.Methods From January,2009 to August,2013,20 patients with soft tissue defects of the foot or ankle underwent the procedures of reconstruction.After the proper perforators being identified with doppler sonography,the propeller flap was designed,which selected the location where terminal perforator vessels perforate deep fascia as the pivot point,the line from this point to the point where the second perforator near the wound around the line from the midpopliteal point to the midpoint of the achilles tendon and lateral malleolus perforated the deep facia as the axis.The flap was raised above the level of the deep fascia.The small extrinsic vessels around the sural nerve and small saphenous vein were contained in the flap,while the small saphenous vein and sural nerve were kept in the original position.The donor site was closed directly.The skin flaps measured from 7 cm × 4 cm to 21 cm × 7 cm.Results All 20 flaps survived completely without complications.During 10-28 months' followed-up (average 13 months),all flaps showed good texture matches and contour.All patients recovered walking and shoe wearing function.No one showed sensory disturbances at the lateral foot.Conclusion The modified peroneal artery perforator-based propeller flap excluding small saphenous vein and sural nerve still has stable blood supply,which is an idea way for covering skin and soft tissue defects in foot and ankle.

AIM: To investigate the effect of exercise stress on chronic cigarette smoking-induced downregulation of expression of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel (BK_(Ca)) and voltage-dependent delayed rectifier potassium channel (Kv1.5) in rat bronchial smooth muscle cells. METHODS: Rats were divided into 3 groups: normal control, smoking control and smoking plus exercise training group. The alteration of airway responsiveness and plasma cortisol level were detected, and potassium channel expression and pathological changes in lung tissue were determined with HE staining, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization and Western blot techniques. RESULTS: (1) Cigarette smoking induced an increase in airway responsiveness, smoking plus exercise lead to a decrease in airway responsiveness in contrast to smoking control group; (2) Plasma level of cortisol determined immediately after exercise was higher than that determined before exercise; (3) HE staining showed that there was severe chronic pulmonary inflammatory response in smoking control group, which was slight in the smoking plus exercise group; (4) The protein and mRNA expression of BK_(Ca) in cigarette smoking group were less than that in control group in BSMC, the mRNA expression of BK_(Ca) in exercise group were higher than that in smoking group; (5) The protein and mRNA expression of Kv1.5 in smoking group were less than that in control group in BSMC, and expression of Kv1.5 in exercise group was higher than that in smoking group in bronchioli. CONCLUSION: Proper exercise training can increase the expression of potassium channel BK_(Ca) and Kv1.5, and increase the cortisol secretion, which may contribute to the decreasing of airway hyperresponsiveness induced by cigarette smoking.

Objective To evaluate the effect on the reversal of left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) and on heart function of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) therapy at different time of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods A total of 326 patients with primary anterior AMI-accompanied LVA diagnosed by left ventriculography (LVG) from January 2001 to July 2004 were enrolled in this study. They were randomized into 4 groups according to the time of accepting PCI:≤3 h group, 4-6 h group, 7-12 h group and one week group. At the baseline and 6 months after AMI, the parameters of left ventricular diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), left ventricular systolic volume index (LVESVI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular wall motion score (LVWMS) and left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were measured by LVG. The paradox volume index (PVI) was measured by equilibrium radionuclide at one week and 6 months after AMI.At 3 year following up to, the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were recorded. Results At 6 months after PCI, the LVESVI, LVEDVI, WMS and LVEDP were all decreased while LVEF was increased in the four groups as compared with pre-PCl (P<0.05, respectively). Those parameters changed most obviously in ≤3 h group. At the 6th month after PCI, the PVI was lower in ≤3 h group (12.1±2.1)% than in 4-6 h, 7-12 h and one week group [(15.4±2.4)%, (16.5±2.5)% and (20.4±3.7)%, all P<0.05]. Within the 3 years follow-up, the MACE was significantly lower in 3 h, 4-6 h and 7-12 h groups than in one week group, and the mortality was lower too [(2.8%, 3.0% and 3.1% vs. 17.9%, all P<0.05]. Conclusions The early, fully and permanent open of the infraction-related artery can effectively inhibit the left ventricular remodeling process, prevent LVA formation, improve LV function and prognosis.
