1.Research advances in the pathogenesis of pediatric parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis
Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2010;18(1):48-51
Parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC) mainly occurs in children. Currently identified risk factors include premature infants, lack of enteral feeding, repeated infections, and toxicity or nutrient deficiency of parenteral nutrition solution. Recent studies have shown that nuclear receptor-mediated bile acid transporter may be the key site of PNAC pathogenesis, in which some cytokines play important roles. New anti-cholestatic therapy based on the regulation of expression of these molecules may prevent end-stage liver disease caused by PNAC.

Objective To assess the effect of thoracoscopic surgery under laryngeal mask anesthesia and explore the nursing strategies. Methods Thirty-five patients from April to December in 2014 undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) were given intubation anesthesia and another thirty-five ones undergoing the same surgery in 2015 received laryngeal mask anesthesia. The two groups were compared in terms of surgery conditions, surgery complication and ambulation time. Results No significant differences were found in surgery time or blood loss between two groups (P>0.05). The postoperative waking time in the mask anesthesia group was significantly shorter than that of the intubation anesthesia group (P<0.05), and ambulation time was significantly shortened (P<0.05). The rates of throat discomfort, hoarseness and gastrointestinal reactions were significantly lower. Conclusions Laryngeal mask anesthesia used in small thoracoscopic surgery for airway management is safe and feasible. Combined with training in respiration and limb function, better analgesia and nursing, it can keep away complications related to intubation anesthesia, shorten hospital stay and accelerate postoperative rehabilitation.

OBJECTIVEThe changes of pain threshold and expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn of rats were observed after targetedly damaged the cerebraspinal fluid-contacting nucleus (CSF-contacting nucleus) to provide experimental evidence for the mechanism of regulating pain CSF-contacting nucleus involved in.
METHODSMale adult SD rats were divided into control, sham, choleratoxin subunit B conjugated with horse-radish peroxidase (CB-HRP)and damage groups randomly. The pain threshold using mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were recorded and analyzed. Immunofluorescence method was used to observe the expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn.
RESULTSCompared with the control, sham and CB-HRP groups, the MWT and TWL of the damage group were significantly increased (P < 0.05). The results of immunofluorescence showed that 5-HT was detected in neurons of CSF-contacting nucleus. In the damage group, the number of neurons of CSF-contacting nucleus reduced gradually, and no survived neurons were observed at the 10th day. Meanwhile, both the expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn increased gradually, and negatively correlated with the change of pain threshold.
CONCLUSIONThe method of targeted damaging CSF-contacting nucleus by cholera toxin subnit B conjugated with saporin(CB-SAP) is scientific and reliable, and it results in the changes of pain threshold and expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn of rats. This study suggests that CSF-contacting nucleus participate in the regulation of pain, moreover, 5-HT and c-Fos play important roles in this regulation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitivepoint Yaoyangguan(GV3)moxibustion for sciatica and preliminarily explore the mechanism of its action.MethodOne hundred and twelve sciatica patients were randomly allocated to heat-sensitive point Yaoyangguan moxibustion (observation), non-heat-sensitive point Yaoyangguan suspended moxibustion (control) and medication groups. The observation group received heat-sensitive point Yaoyangguan moxibustion; the control group, non-heat-sensitive point Yaoyangguan suspended moxibustion; the medication group, oral administration of Yaobitong capsules. The clinical symptoms were scored, the Pain Rating Index (PRI), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Present Pain Intensity (PPI) scores were counted and serum IL-8 content was measured in the three groups beforeand after 15 days of treatment.ResultAfter 15 days of treatment, all the three treatments had a certain therapeutic effect on sciatica. The therapeutic effect was bestin the observation group (P<0.05). The PRI, VAS and PPI scores and serum IL-8 contentdecreased in all the three groups compared with before treatment (P<0.05) and were lower in the observation group than in the control and medication groups (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the control and medication groups (P>0.05).ConclusionHeat-sensitive point Yaoyangguan moxibustion has a better therapeutic effect than non-heat-sensitive point Yaoyangguan suspended moxibustion and oral administration of Yaobitong capsules. This method is an ideal treatment for sciatica. The mechanism may be related to a posttreatment decrease in inflammatory factors in the diseased region.
