Objectives:To investigate the effect of glutamine on the shape of residual intestine and colon in rats with short bowel syndrome. Methods:23 male Sprague-Dawley rats,underwent a 80% small bowel resection,were randomly divided into three groups:food group(n=8) rats,fed rat chow and water libitum after operation;TPN group(n=8),infused with Gln-supplied TPN;and normal control group.On seventh day after operation,rats were weighted and remaining jejunum、remaining ileum and colon were harvested for histological observation(light microscopy and electron microscopy). Results:There was significant difference in rat average weight between food group and Gln group after operation.Jejunal mucosal villus height(VH) and mucosal thickness(MT) and ileal mucosal VH in food group were significantly increased than those in control group.Jejunal mucosal VH and MT in control group were significantly higher than in TPN group.Ileal mucosal crypt depth(CD) and MT in control group were also significantly higher than in TPN group.Jejunal and ileal mucosal VH、CD and MT in Gln group were significantly higher than in TPN group.Colonic MT in food group was significantly higher than in control group.Colonic MT in Gln group was significantly bigger than in TPN group. Conclusions:After 80% intestinal resection,the remaining intestine can develop the adaptation,but the adaptation is incomplete.TPN therapy can maintain body weight,but only TPN can not result in the adaption.Gln-supplied TPN can stop the remaining itestinal mucosal atrophy,and promote the remaining intestinal adaptation and colonic mucosal hypertrophy.

Objective To investigate and analyze the similarities of allergens in children of the same family with susceptibility to the same genetic background and environmental factors. Methods From January 2013 to December 2017,a total of 142 pairs of children with allergic diseases aged 0-15 years and their siblings ( 284 cases) were collected from the outpatient or hospitalized treatment of Pediatrics and otolaryngology department of the First People′s Hospital of Foshan City,the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. The elder group was brother or sister (142 cases),and the younger group was brother or sister ( 142 cases ) . The serum allergen sIgE was tested by Allergy Screen allergen detection system (developed by Germany MEDIWISS Company) and the similarity of allergens was analyzed. Results A total of 142 siblings ( 284 cases ) had systemic symptoms of allergic diseases in varying degrees, including respiratory symptoms ( cough ( 47 cases in the old group,32 cases in the young group), χ2 =3. 946, P=0. 047),nasal obstruction ( 41 cases in the old group,19 cases in the young group, χ2 = 10. 227, P =0. 001),runny nose (46 cases in the old group,26 cases in the young group,χ2=7. 442,P=0. 006), gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain (11cases in the old group,7 cases in the young group,χ2=4. 63, P=0. 031),skin symptoms(urticaria (18 cases in the old group,8 cases in the young group,χ2=4. 234,P=0. 037)) and so on,the difference was statistically significant. Some children have multiple organ system symptoms at the same time. There was no significant difference between the old group and the young group in the early use of antibiotics,mode of production and feeding mode within 6 months (all P>0. 05). Among the two groups,house dust mite and cockroach (r=0. 831,P<0. 05),dog hair and house dust ( r=0. 717,P<0. 05),cypress,elm,willow,birch,oak,maple,walnut,sycamore,poplar and Dianqing,branching,yanqu, and heiqu ( r = 0. 683, P< 0. 05 ) . Conclusion With the same genetic background and the same environmental factors,the allergens in siblings are similar.
