Objective To investigate the role and action mechanism of chemokine (C-X-C motif)receptor 3 (CXCR3)in hepatic ische-mia-reperfusion injury (IRI).Methods Forty-eight mice were divided into operation group and sham-operation group.The operation group was treated to establish a mouse model of IRI.Liver tissues were obtained at 3,6,12,and 24 h after IRI,with 6 mice at each time point.The expression of chemokine (C-X-C motif)ligand 9-1 1 (CXCL9-1 1 )and their receptor CXCR3 were measured by real-time PCR and Western blot.The effect of CXCR3 was blocked by its specific antagonist C6.Hepatic injury was estimated based on the activity of hepatic transaminase and morphological indices.The distribution of subsets of infiltrating T cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.All data were expressed as mean ±standard deviation.Comparison between groups was made by one-way analysis of variance.Results Compared with the sham-operation group,the operation group had significantly upregulated expression of CXCL9-1 1 and CXCR3 at all time points after IRI (P<0.05).Blocking CXCR3 significantly protected liver function and morphology (P<0.05).Antagonist C6 significantly re-duced Th1 cell infiltration (P<0.01),but significantly increased Treg infiltration (P<0.01).Conclusion CXCR3 is an ideal therapeu-tic target in IRI treatment due to its relationship with immunoregulation.

Objective To explore the effect of combined use of antiplatelet drugs on late-onset bleeding in elderly patients after high frequency electric resection of the colon polyps on colonoscopy.Methods Data with late-onset bleeding after high frequency electric resection of the colon polyps on colonoscopy were collected from 64 elderly patients using antiplatelet drugs from January 2010 to December 2013.Those 64 elderly patiets using antiplatelet drugs were divided into aspirin,clopidogrel,and aspirin + clopidogrel groups.The clinical situation,blood-coagulation time,bleeding-occurrence time,emergency colonoscopy hemostatic rate of demand,and hemostatic time in hospital were analyzed.Results No statistically significant differences were found in the blood-coagulation time,bleeding-occurrence time,and hemostatic time in hospital among aspirin,clopidogrel,and aspirin + clopidogrel groups.However,the clinical situation,and emergency colonoscopy hemostatic rate of demand in aspirin + clopidogrel group were significantly more serious and higher than those of the aspirin or clopidogrel groups (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions There are more serious clinical situation and higher emergency colonoscopy hemostatic demand in patients with combined use of antiplatelet drugs relative to the use of single antiplatelet drug.The clinicians should pay attention to the combined use of antiplatelet drugs for late-onset bleeding in elderly patients after high frequency electric resection of the colon polyps on colonoscopy.

Objective To investigate the missing rate of polypus with colonoscopy and correlation factors for missed diagnosis.Methods Data with colorectal polyps collected a second colonoscopy within 180 days after polyps were detected and removed on the initial colonoscopy in 186 patients between July 2009 and June 2013.The following factors were statistically analyzed,including lesionrelated factors (the lesion size,location,shape,number,and pathology),and non-lesion-related factors (intestinal cleanliness,colonoscopy post-set time,colonoscopy operator experience,and whether colonoscopy with sedation).Results Polypus missed diagnosis was found in 57 patients out of 186 recruited subjects (30.64％).A total of 76 polypus were missed out of 343 (22.16％) polypus detected by repeated colonoscopy.Flat small polyps were easily missed diagnosis (P ＜ 0.01).Polyps located at sigmoid,cecum and ascending colon,hepatic flexure,and splenic flexure were easily missed diagnosis (P ＜0.05).The rate of missed diagnosis was significantly increased in the condition of the low intestinal cleanliness,short colonoscopy post-set time,non-intravenous anesthesia,and beginner colonoscopy doctors (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions A markedly missing rate of polyp existed on colonoscopy,and was closely related to the lesion-related factors (the lesion size,location,shape,number,and pathology) and the non-lesion-related factors (the intestinal cleanliness,colonoscopy post-set time,colonoscopy operator experience,and whether colonoscopy with sedation).

Objective To understand the Helicobacter pylori ( Hp) infection eradication rate of standard tri-ple therapy in Guangdong Meizhou and the drug resistance situation for metronidazole ,clarithromycin ,amoxicillin and levofloxacin ,in order to look for the treatment countermeasures in Hp eradication failure .Methods 297 cases of Hp positive patients because of gastrointestinal symptoms to our hospital examined from April 2011 and March 2013,were randomly assigned into three standard triple therapy groups:A ( OCA ) group and B ( OCM ) group and C ( OCL ) group.The Hp eradication rate was analyzed .Patients with primary treatment failure were selected as group D (OBAL),proceed to (PPl+B+A+L)7 d therapy,the Hp eradication rate was analyzed .230 Hp strains were isola-ted and cultured from 297 cases received the first eradication therapy and 87 cases received again eradication therapy . The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of metronidazole,clarithromycin,amoxicillin and levofloxacin were tested by E-test,in order to determine the resistance of these four antibiotics in clinical isolated Hp strains .Results With intention-to-treat(ITT) analysis,the Hp eradication rates of group A (OCA),group B(OCM) and group C(OCL) were 72.0%(72/100),63.0%(63/100) and 72.2%(70/97),respectively.With per-protocol(PP) analysis,the Hp eradication rates of group A (OCA),group B(OCM) and group C(OCL) were 72.7%(72/99),64.3%(63/98),73.7%(70/95),respectively.The eradication rate among three standard triple therapy groups had no obvi-ous difference (ITT:P=0.278,PP:P=0.288,P>0.05).With ITT analysis,the Hp eradication rate in the quadrup-le therapy group D(OBAL) was 92.0%(80/87).With per-protocol(PP) analysis,the Hp eradication rate in the quadruple therapy group D(OBAL) was 97.6%(80/82),which was higher than that of the three standard triple ther-apy groups(ITT:P=0.000,PP:P=0.000).In 230 clinical isolated Hp strains,the resistant rates of levofloxacin,amoxicillin,clarithromycin and metronidazole were 6.08%(14/230),6.52%(15/230),25.65%(59/230), 70.87%(163/230),respectively.Of those 37 strains were mixed resistance,the mixed resistant rate was 16.09%(37/230).The resistant rate of metronidazole was higher than levofloxacin , amoxicillin and clarithromycin ( P =0.000,P<0.01),the resistant rate of clarithromycin was higher than levofloxacin and amoxicillin (P=0.000),no statistically significant difference between amoxicillin and levofloxacin (P=0.848).Conclusion The Hp resistance is similar to the national average in Guangdong Meizhou ,the eradication rate of standard triple therapy is lower than 80%,contain bismuth agent of quadruple therapy is good rescue therapy .

Objective To evaluate the optimum ratio of medicine dosage for dexmedetomidine mixed with sufentanil used for patient?controlled intravenous analgesia ( PCIA) after Nuss procedure in pedi?atric patients with pectus excavatum. Methods Sixty pediatric patients diagnosed with pectus excavatum, aged 5-12 yr, weighing 18-50 kg, of ASA physical statusⅠorⅡ, scheduled for elective Nuss procedure under general anesthesia, were randomly divided into 3 equal groups using a random number table:different ratios of medicine dosage while dexmedetomidine was added to sufentanil groups ( SD1-3 groups) . Postopera?tive analgesia was as follows: group SD1 received sufentanil 1 μg∕kg + dexmedetomidine 2 μg∕kg; group SD2 received sufentanil 1 μg∕kg + dexmedetomidine 3 μg∕kg; group SD3 received sufentanil 1 μg∕kg +dexmedetomidine 4 μg∕kg. A mixture of tropisetron 0?1 mg∕kg and dexamethasone 0?1 mg∕kg ( in 100 ml of normal saline) was added in each group. The PCA pump was programmed to deliver 0?5 ml with a lockout interval of 15 min and background infusion at 2 ml∕h. The PCA pump was connected immediately after the end of operation, and sufentanil with a dosage of 0?1μg∕kg was used as a rescue analgesic within 48 h post?operatively. The VAS score was maintained below 4. The requirement for rescue analgesics was recorded. The Ramsay sedation scores was recorded at 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h postoperatively, and the occurrence of adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, bradycardia, over?sedation, respiratory depression, agitation and shivering was recorded within 48 h after surgery. Results No pediatric patients developed nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, bradycardia, over?sedation, and shivering. No pediatric patients required rescue analgesics in SD2 and SD3 groups. Compared with group SD1 , the requirement for rescue analgesics and incidence of agitation were significantly decreased, and Ramsay sedation scores were increased at 4 and 8 h after operation in SD2 and SD3 groups. Ramsay sedation scores were significantly higher at 4 h after oper?ation in SD3 group than in SD2 group. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine 3 μg∕kg mixed with sufentanil 1μg∕kg is the optimum ratio of medicine dosage when used for PCIA after Nuss procedure in pediatric patients with pectus excavatum.

To investigate the plasma thioredoxin-interacting protein ( TXNIP ) levels in different glucose tolerance groups and discuss the relationship between TXNIP and insulin resistance/β-cell dysfunction in diabetes and prediabetes, and to investigate the potential relationship between TXNIP and interleukin-1β( IL-1β) . According to oral glucose tolerance test, 93 participants were divided into 3 groups:diabetes mellitus group, prediabetes group, and normal glucose tolerance group. Plasma TXNIP, IL-1β, and other biochemical indices were measured. The relationship between TXNIP and glucose, IL-1β, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR) , and homeostasis model assessment forβcell function ( HOMA-β) were analyzed by using multiple linear regression techniques and Pearson’s linear correlation analysis. Plasma TXNIP level was higher in prediabetes group compared with normal glucose tolerance group, but lower in prediabetes group compared with diabetes mellitus group[(355. 35±31. 88 vs 274. 36±33. 86, 426. 16±63. 15)pg/ml, P<0. 01 or P<0. 05]. TXNIP was positively correlated with IL-1βand HOMA-IR, but negatively correlated with HOMA-β. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that IL-1βexerted significant influence on TXNIP ( P<0. 05 ). Plasma TXNIP level is affected by blood glucose concentration. There is a close relationship between TXNIP and IL-1β. In prediabetes patient, the TXNIP levels have already been raised.
