Objective To evaluate the possible factors that may influence the resting energy expenditure (REE) in patients with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer. Methods Totally, 40 patients with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer were prospectively collected from November 2008 to June 2009 in Xinhua Hospital. Nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) was performed. REE and body composition were measured using indirect calorimetry and bioeletrical impedence method, respectively. Results Twenty-seven (67.5%) patients were found with nutrition risk, and NRS score was negatively correlated with prealbumin ( r = - 0.444, P = 0.004) and albumin levels (r = - 0.386, P = 0.014). Measured REE and predicted REE values were ( 6770 ± 1360) and (6021 ± 841 ) kJ/d, respectively (P ＜ 0.001 ). Among all 40 patients, 57.5% of them were hypermetabolic,30.0% were normal, and 12.5% were hypometabolic. Stepwise linear regression analysis showed that fat free mass was the only significant determinant variable for REE (P ＜ 0.001 ). Conclusion Fat free mass is a factor than can influence the energy metabolism in patients with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of circinal stapled suture and manual suture in cervical esophagogastric anastomosis in esophageal resection.Methods The clinical data of 187 patients with esophageal cancer who were admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Sichuan Province from January 2010 to January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients were divided into the stapled suture group (98 patients) and manual suture group (89 patients).The time of anastomosis,operation time,time for dieting,duration of hospital stay,the incidence of postoperative complications and positive rate of esophageal remnant cancer cells of the 2 groups were compared.All data were analyzed using the t test or chi-square test.Results The time of anastomosis,operation time,time for dieting and duration of hospital stay were (7.8 ± 1.4) minutes,(227 ± 60) minutes,(6.3 ± 0.9) days and (14 ±4)days in the stapled suture group,which were significantly shorter than (28.5 ±2.3)minutes,(301 ±81)minutes,(8.4 ± 1.0)days and (22 ±9) days in the manual suture group (t =75.44,7.14,7.71,7.41,P ＜0.05).The incidence of anastomotic fistula was 1％ (1/98) in the stapled suture group,which was significantly lower than 8％ (7/89) of the manual suture group (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of anastomotic stricture was 5％(5/98) in the stapled suture group,which was lower than 7％ (6/89) in the manual suture group,but no significant difference was detected (P ＞0.05).The positive rate of esophageal remnant cancer cells was 0(0/98),which was signifiantly lower than 4％ (4/89) in the manual suture group (P ＜0.05).Conclusion Circinal stapled suture in esophagogastric cervical anastomosis not only reduce the time of anastomosis,operation time and duration of hospital stay,but also decrease the incidence of anastomotic fistula and the positive rate of esophageal remnant cancer cells.

Objective To explore the images and diagnostic evaluation of X-ray combined with ultrasound in paralytic intestinal obstruction caused by antipsychotic agents. Methods The data of X-ray and ultrasound of 124 cases of clinically diagnosed paralytic intestinal obstruction caused by antipsychotic agents were analyzed retrospectively, as well as their rates of confirmed diagnosis. All the 124 patients were examined by erect abdominal radiography and fluoroscopy,68 of the 124 patients by ultrasound. Results According to their typical images,the rate of X-ray confirmed diagnosis was 87.9%(109/124) with 15 missed diagnosis and the rate of missed diagnosis was 12.1%( 15/124);the rate of ultrasound confirmed diagnosis was 82.4%(56/68) with 12 missed diagnosis and the rate of missed diagnosis was 17.6%(12/68). There was no significant difference between X-ray and ultrasound (P＞ 0.05 ). Compared with X-ray or ultrasound ,X-ray combined with ultrasound in the diagnosis of paralytic intestinal obstruction could increase the rate of confirmed diagnosis (100.0% ,68/68),and decrease the rate of missed diagnosis (0),the difference was statistically significant (P＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions X-ray examination is the first choice to diagnose paralytic intestinal obstruction caused by antipsychotic agents,but ultrasound has the advantage of finding fluid in abdominal cavity. To reduce missed diagnosis, X-ray should be combined with ultrasound.

BACKGROUND: Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most serious vascular complications of diabetes mellitus. Compound preparation of huangqi and dahuang, a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used to preventing or treating diabetic nephropathy for several years, and has a certain protective effect on the kidney of diabetes mellitus patients. But its exact mechanism remains unknown and needs to be studied more.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of compound preparation shenkang wan on the proliferation and secretion of extracellular matrix in cultured rat mesangial cells induced by high glucose.DESIGN: Randomized and controlled study.SETTING: Center of Integrated Traditional and Western Nephrology of Zhujiang Hospital and Medicine Department of Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University.MATERIALS: The serum pharmacological experiment was performed in Animal Experimental Center of Southern Medical University in A pril 2005.The cell culture experiment was conducted in Cell culture room of Southern Medical University from April 2005 to July 2005. Totally 16 normal Wistar male rats, weighted varied from 190 g to 220 g, were used in the study.METHODS: Sixteen normal Wistar male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal serum group, capoten group, shenkang wan group (high dose and low dose); shenkang wan was mainly constituted of huangqi,dahuang, leech, gordon guryale seed and corn stigma and made in Pharmacy Department of Zhujiang Hospital of Nanfang Medical University, agent number: 20031214). ① The rats in capoten group and high and low dose shenkang wan group were given the corresponding drugs respectively according to 5 mg/kg, 2.4 g/kg, 1.2 g/kg weight. The rats in normal serum group were given the same volume water. After treated 7 days, all rats were hocused and separated medication serum. ② Mesangial cell was cultured in vitro with different concentrations of glucose (10, 20, 30 and 40 mmol/L).The proliferation of mesangial cell was observed with the methyl-thiazoltelrazolium colorimetric assay at 24, 48, 72 hours and 96 hours. ③ Then the cultured mesangial cells were divided into six subgroups :Low glucose control group (10 mmol/L glucose), high glucose group (30 mmol/L glucose);normal serum group (30 mmol/L glucose); capoten group (30 mmol/L glucose); shenkang wan group (high dose and low dose, 30 mmol/L glucose).After cultured 72 hours, the proliferation of mesangial cell was detected with the methyl-thiazol-telrazolium colorimetric assay, the secretion and mRNA gene expression of fibronetin levels in mesangial cell were respectively detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Proliferation of mesangial cell induced by different concentrations glucose. ② Proliferation and secretion and mRNA gene expression of fibronectin in every group.RUSULTS: ① Effect of different concentrations glucose on the prolifera-tion of mesangial cell: Compared with low concentrations glucose(10 mmol/L), 20 mmol/L glucose could accelerate the proliferation ofmesangial cell during 96 hours experiment period, but only had a statisti-cally significant difference at 72 and 96 hours (P ＜ 0.05). 30 mmol/L glu-cose could significantly accelerate the proliferation of mesangial cell thanthat of 10 mmol/L glucose from 24 hours to 96 hours (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01),and this effect was increasing with time in 72 hours and reduced after 72hours. 40 mmol/L glucose could significantly increase the proliferation ofmesangial cell than of low concentrations glucose in 48 hours (P ＜ 0.05),and this effect was reduced after 48 hours and even conversed to restraineffect. ② Effect of different medication serum on the proliferation ofmesangial cell: The optical density value in high glucose group is obviouslyhigher than that of low glucose control group (P ＜ 0.01). Compared withhigh glucose group, the optical density value in capoten, shenkang wangroup (high dose and low dose) was decreased markedly (P ＜ 0.01 or P＜ 0.05). While the optical density value in normal serum group was showedno difference with the high glucose group (P ＞ 0.05). ③ Effect of differentmedication serum on secretion of fibronectin in mesangial cell: Content offibronectin in high glucose group was increased more markedly than that oflow glucose group (P ＜ 0.01). Compared with high glucose group, contentof fibronectin in capoten and shenkang wan group (high dose and low dose)was showed a significantly decrease (P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0.05), while contentof fibronectin in normal serum group was showed no difference with thehigh glucose group (P ＞ 0.05). ④ Effect of different medication serum onexpression of fibronectin mRNA in mesangial cell: The optical density val-ue of fibronectin strip in high glucose group was brighter than that in lowglucose group and the ratio of it and β-actin were increased markedly too(P ＜ 0.01). Compared with high glucose group, the optical density value offibronectin strip in capoten and shenkang wan group (high dose and lowdose) was showed a significantly decrease and the ratio of it and β-actinwas reduced distinctly too (P ＜ 0.01), while the ratio of it and β-actin innormal serum group was showed no difference (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: High glucose could accelerate proliferation, increase thesecretion and mRNA gene expression of fibronectin in mesangial cell,while shenkang wan could inhibit proliferation and secretion of the extra-cellular matrix in mesangial cell induced by high glucose.
