Objective To investigate the changes of plasma levels of glucagon in cirrhotic patients and its effect in the pathogenesis of portal hemodynamics.Methods Plasma levels of glueagon were measured by radioimmunoassay(RIA)in 42 patients with liver cirrhosis and 20 healthy controls.The max diameters,mean flow velocity,flow rate of the portal vein trunks(PV)and splenic veins(SV)were detected by Color Doppler Ultrasound.Results Plasma levels of glucagon in cir- rhotic patients were significantly higher than those in controls and were increased with the severity of hepatic function im- pairment as assessed by Child-Pugh grade.Patients with ascites showed signifieanthigher plasma glucagon levels than those without ascites.Plasma levels of glueagon were positively correlated with portal vein diameters,splenic vein diame- ters and splenic vein flows.Conclusion The increase of plasma glucagon levels reflects,in part,the severity of impair- ment of hepaticfunction.In addition,it may contribute to the pathogenesis of portal hypertension.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can improve disease conditions by reducing inflammation.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the therapeutic efficacy of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels on chronic asthma rats.
METHODS: A rat model of chronic asthma was established by intraperitonealy injected and aerosolized ovalbumin. After modeling, rats were given 4×105 and 8×105 bone marrow mesenchymal stem celsvia the tail vein, respectively. Thirty days later, the lung tissues were observed pathologicaly using hematoxylin-eosin staining; RT-qPCR and ELISA methods were employed to test the changes in interleukin-10, tumor necrosis factor-α and interferon-γ levels in lung tissue and peripheral blood, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Rat models of chronic asthma were successfuly established after intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin combined with aerosolized ovalbumin. After 30 days of cel treatment, the structure of lung tissues were obviously recovered, and the levels of interleukin-10, tumor necrosis factor-α and interferon-γ showed some improvement in lung tissue and peripheral blood, but there were no differences between the two groups. In conclusion, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels show some potential role in the treatment of chronic asthma.

Objective To obsevre the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at bilateral sphenopalatine ganglions in treating allergic rhinitis. Methods Patients with allergic rhinitis were selected, and then were randomly divided into bilateral group, unilateral group, and control group, with 35 cases in each group. By the end of the study, 5 cases of bilateral group, 3 cases of unilateral group, and 2 cases of control group were removed. The bilateral sphenopalatine ganglions were acupunctured simultaneously in bilateral group, and the unilateral sphenopalatine ganglion was treated by acupuncture in unilateral group, once a week, for 4 weeks. The control group received routine acupuncture on Yingxiang (LI20), Bitong (EX-HN8), Yintang (EX-HN3), and Hegu (LI4), twice a week, for 4 weeks. Rhinitis symptom scale and life quality of nasal conjunctival scale score before and after treatment in the three groups were observed. The clinical efficacy was evaluated and the adverse reactions were recorded. Results The total effective rates of bilateral group, unilateral group and control group were 93.33% (28/30), 90.63% (29/32) and 72.73% (24/33), respectively, and the bilateral group and unilateral group were better than the control group (χ2=19.507, P=0.001), without statistical significance between bilateral group and unilateral group (P>0.05). Rhinitis symptoms and life quality were improved in the three groups (P<0.05), and the bilateral group and unilateral group were better than the control group (P<0.05), without statistical significance between bilateral group and unilateral group (P>0.05). Only 1 case of subcutaneous hematoma showed in unilateral group. Conclusion Acupuncture at sphenopalatine ganglions has confirmed efficacy, and there is no difference in the efficacy between acupuncture on bilateral sphenopalatine ganglions and unilateral sphenopalatine ganglion.

Objective To compare the individual effects of three recruitment maneuvers (RM) in children with congenital heart disease complicated by postoperation acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods A prospective single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted.Thirty-two children with congenital heart disease complicated with ARDS after open-heart surgery undergoing mechanical ventilation were randomized into three groups,to whom three different RM was respectively performed,namely sustained inflation (SI),progressively increased positive end expiratory pressure (IP) and pressure control ventilation (PCV).Blood gas analysis was done every 6 hours,and the lung RM was performed if oxygenation index (OI) ≤ 300 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa).The OI,the dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn),as well as the parameters of hemodynamics before,during and after RM for 15,30,and 60 minutes were recorded and analyzed before and after RM.Results During the treatment process,the OI was significantly increased during the process and 15,30 or 60 minutes after RM compared with that before RM,with no statistical difference among groups (F value was 1.027,0.403,0.264,0.172,0.159,and P value was 0.367,0.671,0.769,0.843,0.853).The Cdyn at all time points in each group was also significantly increased,but there was no statistical difference among groups (F value was 0.009,0.015,0.206,0.010,0.389,and P value was 0.991,0.985,0.814,0.990,0.683).In the process of RM,the heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the children were lowered compared with those before RM [HR (bpm):131.67 ± 9.56 vs.138.93 ± 5.22 in SI group,133.27 ± 9.54 vs.140.33 ± 7.74 in IP group,137.13 ± 7.39 vs.142.40 ± 9.18 in PCV group,all P ＜ 0.01;MAP (mmHg):55.07 ± 4.43 vs.65.87 ± 4.46 in SI group,58.82 ± 6.04 vs.64.02 ± 7.65 in IP group,57.89 ± 4.71 vs.65.36 ± 5.37 in PCV group,all P ＜ 0.01],but it recovered immediately.CVP in all three groups was increased during RM [cmH2O (1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa):11.60±0.99 vs.5.53±0.74 in SI group,10.33± 1.35 vs.5.40±0.74 in IP group,10.20±0.94 vs.5.80±0.68 in PCV group,all P ＜ 0.01].There was significant difference in CVP during RM among three groups (F =7.327,P =0.002),and CVP in SI group was higher than that of other two groups (both P ＜ 0.05).CVP returned to the former level in 15 minutes after RM in IP and PCV groups,and recovered in 30 minutes in SI group.Conclusions All of the RM methods can effectively improve oxygenation and pulmonary compliance of the children with complication of ARDS,and they complement the inadequacy of lung protective ventilation.PCV and IP are more effective than SI in the uniform re-expansion of alveoli after RM and recovery of hemodynamics.
