Objective:To explore the application value of multislice spiral CT scanning on abdomen for the detection of complication of acute pancreatitis.Methods: 120 patients with acute pancreatitis were divided into observation group (70 cases) and control group (50 cases) according to different detection method. The patients of control group were applied basic clinical detections included X-ray radiography and ultrasound imaging, while patients of observation group were supplemented CT detection besides these detections of control group. And situation of complication of patients in two groups were observed.Results: The positive rate of complications, which involved pancreatic pseudocyst, cellulitis, complications of gastrointestinal tract, pancreas hemorrhage and pancreatic ascites, in observation group was 97.14%, that was significant higher than that (62.0%) of control group (x2=24.74,P<0.05). Among 20 patients with pancreatic pseudocysts, there were 9 patients located at tails of pancreases, 6 patients located in bodies of pancreases, 3 patients located in small omental bursas, 2 patients located at heads of pancreases, and the CT images of them showed quasi-circular liquid form density lesions with clear boundaries appeared in lesion field. The CT images of cellulitis showed the volume of pancreas increased and the boundaries were fuzzy, and a larger range of density lesions with irregular soft tissue shape appeared in its periphery. CT detetions of gastrointestinal complications showed fuzzy point-shaped, strip-shaped and flake-shaped soft tissue-styled density shadow appeared in gastrointestinal tracts. The CT image of pancreatic ascites showed intraperitoneal fluid density shadow.Conclusion: Abdominal CT scan applied on patients with acute pancreatitis can increase the positive rate of complications and may be used as preferred detection method for clinical evaluation on the complications of acute pancreatitis.

BACKGROUND:Nitric oxide can interfere with the function of mitochondria, and accelerate the intervertebral disc damage and degeneration by interfering with the release of inflammatory cytokines. Nitric oxide is an important inflammatory cel medium leading to degeneration of intervertebral disc induced by pressure and other external factors.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the regulatory effect of nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase inhibitor niacinamide on mitochondrial function and its association with biological behavior of rabbit nucleus pulposus.
METHODS:Cultured nucleus pulposus cel s of rabbit lumbar intervertebral disc were randomly divided into six groups:normal blank control group, 10μmol/L sodium nitroprusside group, 100μmol/L sodium nitroprusside group, 200μmol/L sodium nitroprusside group, 0.05 g/L nicotinamide group (100μmol/L sodium nitroprusside+0.05g/L nicotinamide), and 0.5 g/L nicotinamide group (100μmol/L sodium nitroprusside and 0.5 g/L nicotinamide). Different doses of nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside and nicotinamide were added in the medium of each group. Three days after intervention, cel proliferation activity, intracel ular ATP concentration, cel nitric oxide synthase activity, cel ular reactive oxygen species level, and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) After 3 days of rabbit nucleus pulposus cel s intervened by different concentrations of sodium nitroprusside, intracel ular nitric oxide synthase content increased with sodium nitroprusside volume increase, and ATP concentration decreased along with sodium nitroprusside volume increase;there were significantly differences between the normal control group and sodium nitroprusside groups (P<0.01). (2) Reactive oxygen species could be increased in the sodium nitroprusside group. Niacinamide groups indicated a dose-dependent manner to improve the increase of cel ular reactive oxygen species levels with sodium nitroprusside intervention (P<0.01). (3) In the sodium nitroprusside groups, nucleus pulposus cel membrane potential decreased. In the niacinamide groups, sodium nitroprusside-induced decline in mitochondrial membrane potential was reduced (P<0.01). (4) Niacinamide groups also indicated a dose-dependent manner to improve the proliferative activity of nucleus pulposus cel s as compared with sodium nitroprusside groups (P<0.01). Significant differences were determined between the two groups (P<0.01). (5) Results suggest that the excess nitric oxide can damage mitochondrial metabolic function of rabbit nucleus pulposus cel s and cause cel energy metabolism. Niacinamide can reverse these damages by inhibiting nitric oxide synthesis, thereby contributing to the prevention against intervertebral disc degeneration.

BACKGROUND:Intramedulary nail with rigid biomechanics was firstly selected for proximal femoral fracture. Proximal femoral intramedulary nail can effectively control the shortening and rotation of the fracture, alow patients to do early exercise and weight bearing, and promote the improvement of joint function. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of proximal femoral intramedulary nail for treating intertrochanteric fractures on the recovery of joint function in young patients. METHODS:80 young patients with intertrochanteric fractures were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received dynamic hip screw fixation, and the treatment group received proximal femoral nail fixation. Perioperative index, complications and functional recovery of knee joint after 3 months of treatment were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, length of incision, intraoperative blood loss, operative time, fracture healing time and postoperative ambulation time were significantly reduced in the treatment group (P< 0.05). Complications such as postoperative nonunion, hip varus, limb shortening and deep vein thrombosis were significantly less in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). After folow-up at 3 months post treatment, the excelent and good rate of hip function was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (93%, 80%;P < 0.05). These results suggest that proximal femoral nail for treating intertrochanteric fractures in young patients folows the principle of biomechanics, reflects the characteristics of minimal invasion, and has few complications, and promotes the recovery of hip function.
