Objective:To analyze the monitoring results of high resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) and 24-Hour impedance-pH for the patients with functional heartburn (FH)and non-erosive reflux disease(NERD), and explore the effect of Gastroesophageal junction morphology, transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation and regurgitation of gastric acid in FH and NERD.Methods: 86 patients with continuous heartburn who were negative under endoscope were divided into FH group(38cases) and NERD group(48cases), and gastrointestinal symptom rating scales (GSRS), the results of HRM and 24h pH/impedance monitoring of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results: The GSRS of sour regurgitation, abdominal distension, diarrhea and constipation of FH group were significantly higher than that of NERD group, respectively(t=-4.45,t=3.83,t=3.07,t=4.58,P<0.05). The ratio of esophagogastric junction-III(EGJ-III)of FH group was significantly lower than that of NERD group (Z=-3.27,P<0.05). And the ratio of esophageal hiatus hernia of FH group was significantly lower than that of NERD group(x2=16.01,P<0.05). In HRM parameters, the differences of lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP), upper esophageal sphincter pressure(UESP), distal contractile integral(DCI)and esophagogastric junction- contractile integral (EGJ-CI) between FH group and NERD group were statistically significant(t=6.99,t=-4.51,t=-2.91,t=-3.72;P<0.05), respectively. On the other hand, the times of sour regurgitation in erect position, the ratio of fluid regurgitation, exposed time of erect position and clinostatism, and DeMeester integral of NERD group was statistically significant higher than that of FH group(t=-9.48,t=-13.00,t=-13.56,t=-18.31;P<0.05).Conclusion:There are esophageal dysfunction in a certain degree and obvious regurgitation in both of two groups, and the detections of HRM and 24h-impedance pH contribute to differential diagnosis for NERG. Besides, the symptom of patients with FH may be relative with regurgitation of non-acidic material, especially may be relative with regurgitation of air.

Objective To investigate the regulation on cell cycle related factor such as Cyclins and P21waf/cip1 by inhibiting histone deacetylase(HDAC)with valproic acid sodium(VPA).Methods HepG2 hep-tocellular carcinoma cells.BGC-823 gastric carcinoma cells and MCF-7 breast cancer cells were cultured with O.75-4.00 mmoL/L VPA for 48 h in vivo.and the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry with PI assay.The protein and mRNA expression of Cyclin A,Cyclin D1,Cyclin E and P21waf/cip1 were analyzed by indirect immu-nofluorescence technique and RT-PCR.respectively.Results Compared with control groups,VPA at concen-trations 0.75-4.00 mmol/L exerted a significant inhibiting effect on G1 phase of HepG2,BGC-823 and MCF-7 cells(P<0.001).and the effect was dose dependent.Cyclin A was down-regulated both at mRNA and protein level in HepG2 and BGC-823 cells(P<0.001),but no difference in MCF-7 cells(P>0.05).Cyclin D1 was down-regulated both at mRNA and protein level(P<0.001)and P2lwaf/cip1 was up-regulated both at the mRNA and protein level in the three cell lines(P<0.001);Conversely,protein and mRNA expression of Cyclin E were unchanged upon treatment with VPA(P>0.05).Condusion Acetylization of histone intervened with VPA can regulate Cyclin D1 and P21waf/cip1 expressions obviously.To the expression of Cyclin A,it shows some difference according to the histogenesis and phenotypes of different carcinoma types.But there is not any obvious function on Cyclin E.Down-regulating Cychn D1 and up-regulating P21waf/cip1 may be the common target path-way in the inhibition of cell cycle G1 phase exerted by VPA.

BACKGROUND: It is indicated in latest research that in cerebral protective measures of cerebral vasospasm induced by subarachnoid hemorrhage due to various factors in acute stage, mild hypothermia has been drawn the attention specially and it has been recommended in clinical practice. But such therapy is generally limited in experimental research and aneurysm hemorrhage, the clinical research on subhypothermia probably provides important influence on cerebral vasospasm in severe craniocerebral injury.OBJECTIVE: Based on cerebral vascular hemodynamical indexes (CVDI),the cerebral protection of subhypothermia was observed on cerebral vasospasm in severe craniocerebral injury.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment.SETTING: Department of Neurological Surgery of No.16 Hospital of Chinese PLA and General Military Institute of Neurological Medical Science in Zhujiang Hospital Affiliated to First Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 36 cases of severe craniocerebral injury were selected in General Military Institute of Neurological Medical Science in Zhujiang Hospital Affiliated to First Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from July 1997 to August 1999, which were randomized into the control and treatment group, 18 cases in each one. At same period, 24 cases with normal CVDI were screened and taken as normal group. All of receptors participated in the experiment in volunteer.METHODS: In both the control and treatment group, the treatment was applied with anti-inflammation, stopping bleeding, fluid limitation, dehydration, supporting, hyperbaric oxygen, etc. In the control, the normal body temperature was maintained and in treatment group, anus temperature was dropped to about 33 ℃ in 4 hours to 8 hours, which was maintained for 3-test was given on the day of injury (0), on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21st days assay was done on the day of injury (0), on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21st days successively, in which, minimum blood velocity (Vmin) and minimum blood flow (Qmin) reflect blood supply of distal cerebral vessel and blood flow.Cerebral vessel resistance (CVR) reflects smooth degree of cerebral microcirculation. Dynamical resistance (DR) reflects auto-regulation of cerebral vessel. Criteria of evaluation: Recovery state of consciousness was justified according to Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) in 1 week after injury. The outcomes were evaluated according to Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) in 3 months (5 score: good, 4 score: moderate handicapped, 3 score: severely handicapped, 2 score: vegetative state and 1 score: death). The case over 4 score indicated good outcome.ery of consciousness and outcomes in 1 week after injury in the control and treatment group.RESULTS: Totally 36 cases of severe craniocerebral injury entered result phases after injury in the control, named hypoperfusion phase (0 day), hyperperfusion phase (1-3 days), cerebral vasospasm phase (4-14 days) and improving phase (＞15 days). In treatment group, 3 phases were manifested,named hypoperfusion phase (0 day), improving phase (1-3 days) and recovery phase (＞ 4 days), without hyperperfusion phase. Eight cases and 2 cases of cerebral vasospasmodic changes in CVDI presented in the control in focus: The maximum volume (140.9±22.95) cm3 was on the 14th day after injury in the control and that (95.83-±14.97) cm3 was on the 3rd day in treatment group. On the 14th day after injury, the volume in treatment group in 1 week after injury: It was 22.2% (4/18) in the control and 55.6%(10/18) (P ＜ 0.05) in treatment group. Improving outcome rate: It was 38.9% (7/18) and 66.7% (12/18) in treatment group.CONCLUSION: Subhypothermia reduces incidence of cerebral vasospasm by stabilizing cerebral circulation after severe craniocerebral injury, especially by inhibiting acute hyperperfusion after the injury so that the volume of cerebral edema in focus is lessened remarkably and the prognosis is improved.
