Objective To study the safety of enteral nutrition in preoperative bowel preparation for patients with colorectal carcinoma. Methods 68 patients with colorectal carcinoma were randomized into 2 groups.34 patients in the study group were applied with a kind of enteral nutrition in preoperative bowel preparation.34 patients in the control group were applied with the traditional liquid diet. Results In the study group, the change of the total sum of lymphocytes, hemoglobin, the serum total protein, albumin,prealbumin, transferrin and immune parameters CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ after operation had no significant difference compared with that before preoperative bowel preparation (P >0.05). But in the control group, the total sum of lymphocytes, hemoglobin and immune parameters CD+3, CD+4, CD+8 after operation had no significant difference compared with that before preoperative bowel preparation, the serum total protein [(65.35±3.02) g/L],albumin [(32.5±1.98) g/L], prealbumin [(221.02±22.45) mg/L], transferrin [(2.12±0.2) g/L] and CD+4/CD+8 (1.14±1.98) were significantly lower after operation than that before preoperative bowel preparation [(69.43±3.21) g/L, (35.43±2.45) g/L, (236.54±18.45) mg/L, (2.31±0.03) g/L, 1.53±2.45] (P <0.05). Conclusion Enteral nutrition could be applied to the preoperation bowel preparation and replace the traditional liquid diet. As a simple way, it can make the colon clear, improve the nutrition and immunity status of the patients.

Platelet play an important role in cerebral ischemial nerve injury. Aspirin (ASA) had been used to treat and prevent stroke in clinic. 30 rabbits were randomly divided into A, B and C groups. In group A ASA was given orally at a daily dosage of 15 mg/kg per rabbit for 5 days before cerebral ischemia; group B cerebral ischemia without giving ASA, and group C was normal rabbits as controls. The cerebral ischemial model was produced by occluding bilateral carotid arteries and bleeding from femoral artery. The results indicated that there was an obvious decrease of PAgT and TXA_2 and had no significance changes in free radicals increasing and Ca~(2+) rising from cerebral tissue in group A. The cerebral edema of group A was less severe than group B. It seemed that ASA had a protective effect on the nerve injury of cerebral ischemia. The derangement of ASA, platelet, free radicals and calcium ions interrelation and their significance on the nerve injury should be further studied.

High fluoride exposure induces not only skeletal damage such as dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis, but also injury on the cardiovascular system. In this article, we elaborated on the effects of high fluoride exposure on cardiovascular diseases such as heart injury, vascular sclerosis, hypertension and hyperlipidemia by reviewing domestic and foreign literatures in the last decade. We analyzed the damage effects and mechanisms of high fluoride exposure from the perspectives of population epidemiology, animal experiments and in vitro cell experiments, and proposed that prospective cohort studies on the effects of high fluoride exposure on cardiovascular system damage should be further strengthened. This paper provides a scientific basis and new ideas for the prevention and treatment of endemic fluorosis and cardiovascular diseases.

Objective:To investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of alternating double balloon occlusion combined with intra-aneurysm injection of human fibrin binder in the endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA).Methods:The clinical data of 28 patients with rAAA admitted to Department of Vascular Surgery, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 23 males and 5 females, aged (62±5) years (range: 46 to 88 years).The maximum diameter of the tumors was (65.2±10.5) mm (range: 47.3 to 100.5 mm), all of which were subrenal rAAA. The intraoperative EVAR for abdominal aortic aneurysm was successfully performed under the emergency green channel procedure, and this surgery was assisted used the double balloon occlusion technique in aorta of inferior renal and superior renalcombined with intraoperative human fibrin binder injection technique. Observation indexes included: patients with preoperative preparation, operation time, hospitalization days, surgical treatment success rate and the incidence of postoperative complications, and aortic stent form during the follow-up period, the incidence of leakage, branch stents patency rate and infection rates.Results:The preoperative preparation time of 28 patients was (45.5±8.5) minutes (range:20 to 100 minutes). The operation time was (100.0±15.5) minutes (range:85 to 210 minutes), the ICU stay time was (7±2) days(range:1 to 17 days). The length of hospitalization was (13.5±2.5) days(range:5 to 43 days). The success rate of surgical treatment was 92.9% (26/28). Two patients died, 1 case died of postoperative multifocal lacunar cerebral infarction and massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and another elderly patient (84 years old) died of massive abdominal fluid due to preoperative abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture, postoperative complicated with significant abdominal compartment syndrome, and secondary multiple organ failure. Balloon occlusion of the upper renal aorta took (13±2)minutes (range:12 to 30 minutes). The intraoperative injection of fibrin adhesive was (14±2) ml(range:6 to 28 ml) in 22 cases. The incidence of major postoperative complications was 57.1% (16/28). Among the 26 patients who survived the surgery, 69.2% (18/26) completed the 3-year follow-up, and the follow-up time was (30±3) months(range:13 to 36 months). During the follow-up, the aortic stent was in good shape without obvious displacement. The incidence of leakage within 6 months after the operation was 10.7% (3/28), and there was no internal leakage in the patients who were followed up for 36 months after the operation. The patency rate of renal artery and iliac artery branch stents was 16/18. The incidence of stent infection was 7.7% (2/26), 1 case occurred at 1 month and another case at 6 months, respectively. All patients recovered after prolonged intensive anti-infection therapy.Conclusions:Under the standard emergency treatment process, the double balloon alternating occlusion technique combined with the intra-aneurysm injection of human fibrin adhesive technique can assist the successful completion of the endovascular repair of rAAA, effectively improve the success rate of treatment for patients, and reduce the incidence of postoperative leakage and serious complications. The mid-term and long-term results of EVAR for rAAA are good, safe and reliable.
