Refractory ulcer is a commonly seen disease clinically. We believe the therapeutic strategies for refractory ulcer should include changing life style, standardizing medication, tracing observation, and rechecking in regularity. Traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine can be used for the treatment. When the therapeutic effect is not good, diagnosis and therapeutic methods need to be re-judged.Local therapy and operation can be performed if necessary.

Objective To evaluate the inhibitory effect of statins on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) of pancreatic islet in rat and to explore its mechanisms. Methods According to the average volume, freshly isolated or 24-hour cultured pancreatic islets were randomly divided into control group( incubated with Kreb-Ringer bicarbonate buffer), the atorvastatin group( incubated with 100 μ mol/L atorvastatin), the fluvastatin group (incubated with 100 μ mol/L fluvastatin)and the pravastatin group (incubated with 100 μ mol/L pravastatin). Stimulated by 2. 8,5. 5,11.1,16. 7 mmol/L and 25.0 mmol/L glucose respectively, the effect of 100 μ mol/L statins on ATP content and GSIS was compared in the four groups. GSIS was performed by the 37℃ bath incubation method and ATP content was measured by chemiluminescence method. Results Incubated with 100 μ mol/L atorvastatin for 30 minutes, in the presence of 16. 7 mmol/L glucose, the ATP content [(9. 54 ± 1. 64) pmol/islet vs ( 12. 33 ± 1.89) pmol/islet] and GSIS (1.60 ± 0. 21 vs 2. 39 ± 0. 30) were significantly reduced in comparison with the control group (P<0. 05). Cultured with 100 μmol/L fluvastatin for 24 hours, the ATP content [( 10. 24 ±2.01 )pmol/islet vs (12. 31 ±2. 16) pmol/islet] and GSIS (3. 12 ± 0. 32 vs 4. 17 ±0. 37 ) were all significantly decreased at the higher glucose concentration of 16. 7 mmol/L ( P < 0. 05). Conclusion Atorvastatin and fluvastatin may inhibit GSIS by decreasing ATP content in pancreatic islet and the inhibitory effect is related to the strength of its lipophilicity.

Objective To increase the mechanic characteristic of bovine jugular veins conduit (BJVC) by combined knitted stent outside made of nylon fiber. Methods Get rid of the cells of BJVC by enzymolysis, then combined a fabric stent with a acellular bovine jugular vein conduit that cross-linked dealed by photooxidation method to improve the mechanic function of BJVC. To compare the mechanical function and histology change of BJVC combined with fiber stent outside with that of BJVC only without stent. BJVC combined with fiber stent outside was divided into experiment group and the latter into control group. Two roller pumps on cardiopulmonary bypass unit were designed to simulate the pulmonary circulation. One produce the stream, and the other assist to bring a certain pressure by regulating a degree of tightness. The pressure of forward stream was used in messuring extension rate and leakage volume of two BJVC groups, and the pressure of backward stream was used in messuring the regurgitation volume. Results Set the formula to calculate the rate of variation of BJVC diameter under a certain pressure or not. The experiment group extension rate was zero under pressure of 10-20 mm Hg, about ( 7.7 ± 2.3 ) % under pressure of 40 mm Hg, until 60 mm Hg to ( 11.4 ± 3.1 ) %. While the control group reached about ( 14.8 ± 4.7 ) % at 20mm Hg already. There was no regurgitation volume of the experiment group under pressure of 30 mm Hg vs. the control group' s reached 34ml/min at 30 mm Hg while the two groups were same under pressure that lower than 20 mm Hg. When the pressure higher, the difference between the two groups more notable. There was no leakage of the BJVCs with fabric stent till pressure from 40 mmHg to 60mmHg, vs. the control group 1,5, 13 ml/min at pressure 30, 40, 60 mm Hg. Except the regurgitation and leakage volumes under pressure at 10 -20 mm Hg, as the two numerical values were both zero that can not be caculated by the statistic software, the differences of the two groups above had statistics significance. In vivo, 9 dogs received bovine jugular vein conduit transplant procedure to observe the mechanic fnction and tissue reaction. Five adopted B.JVC with stent and four just BJVC only. Six month later after the transplant procedure, there was no significant difference between the two groups but more inflaming cells than the former group, especially at the location round the nylon fibers. Through the observation in HE stain, that was considered as foreign body reaction. Conclusion Fabric stent can improve the mechanical function of BJVC and relatively easy to get.
