Objective To evaluate the clinical effects and adverse reaction of somatostatin combined with raw vegetable oil in treatment of intestinal obstruction From Tongchuan City People's Hospital were conducted through clinical medication.Methods From August 2012 to August 2015,A total of 364 cases of intestinal obstruction were randomly divided into observation group (182 cases) and control group (182 cases).Two groups were treated with the non-surgical treatment based on basic therapy,including gastrointestinal decompression,correctional of water,electrolyte disturbance and acid-base imbalance to prevent infection and toxication by sedative and spasmolytic.The non-surgical treatment was invalid or worse,the surgical treatment wasselected.Additionally,on the basis of non-surgical treatment,somatostatin combined with raw vegetable oil was additional treatment for the observation group.The comparison of thecurative effect,surgical treatment rate,gastrointestinal decompression,hospital stays and adverse reaction of two groups was conducted.Results The curative effect of observation group (80.22％)was superior to control group(68.68％).Compared to control group,the cases of adverse reaction in observation group was insignificantly increased (x2 =8.58,P ＜ 0.05).Conversely,the observation group showed lower surgical treatment rate (29.67％ vs 40.11％,x2 =4.37,P ＜ 0.05),lower gastrointestinal decompression [(224 ± 171) ml/d vs (543 ± 186) ml/d,t =-21.28,P ＜0.05)],and less hospital stays [(6.14 ± 2.04) d vs (10.26 ± 3.12) d,t =-4.78,P ＜ 0.05)].Conclusions The basic therapy and somatostatin combined with raw vegetable oil showed high efficiency,and cases of adverse reaction was insignificantly increased.It was worthy of promotion and application.

BACKGROUND: Several studies have confirmed that activation of intervertebral disc enzymes is closely related to matrix degradation. Matrix metalloproteinase and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase have been shown to exert important roles in the process of extracellular matrix degeneration in intervertebrel disk. Besides these two enzyme systems, whether other proteeses that exhibit degrading effects on extracellular matrix are involved in the intervertebral disk degeneration remains poorly understood.OBJECTIVE: To detect the cathepsin K expression in normal and degenerated human intervertebrel disc cells and investigate the correlation between cathepsin K and intervertebral disc degeneration.METHODS: Cathepsin K expression was detected in intervertebral disc tissue from 30 patients with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion using immunohistochemistry SP method and ELISA. At the same time, the intervertebral disc tissue from 15 healthy adult cadavers and/or spine fracture patients was taken as control, Cathepsin K protein expression in normal and degenerated human intervertebral disc tissues were compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Cathepsin K expression was observed in normal and degenerated intervertebral disc tissues.The expression level was significantly higher in degenerated tissue than normal tissue (P ＜ 0.05). These findings demonstrate that Cathepsin K possibly participates in the intervertebral disc degeneration.
