Objective To study the features of anatomical delamination of the posterior renal fascia in CT images.Methods Clinical datas and CT images of 85 patients with acute pancreatitis were collected,the anatomical delamination features of the adult posterior renal fascia were observed and recorded.Results (1) 23 cases showed anatomical delamination of the left posterior renal fascia, 9 cases showed anatomical delamination of the right posterior renal fascia, and 8 cases showed anatomical delamination of bilateral posterior renal fascia.(2) The features of anatomical delamination of the posterior renal fascia were detected in the whole posterior renal fascia or in the lateral part of the posterior renal fascia.Anatomical delamination was detected in the whole left posterior renal fascia in 6 cases, and was detected in the lateral part of the left posterior renal fascia in 17 cases.Anatomical delamination was detected in the whole right posterior renal fascia in 4 cases and in the lateral part of the right posterior renal fascia in 5 cases.Anatomical delamination of the whole part in the bilateral posterior renal fascia were detected in 4 cases and pure delamination of the lateral part in the both sides were 4 cases.Conclusion CT images can show the anatomical delamination of the posterior renal fascia which has two types.The anatomical delamination of bilateral posterior renal fascia is not always the same.

Objective To investigate the effect of Bcl-2 gene expression on the proliferation and apoptosis of human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells.Methods Bcl-2 short guide RNA (Bcl-2-sgRNA) was designed and synthesized,and it was combined with CRISPR-Cas 9.After confirmation by gene sequencing,it was transfected into human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990,then the cells with stable Bcl-2 gene knock-out were selected,and wild type SW1990 cells were used as control.The cell growth curve was determined by CCK-8 method.The number of clone formation was measured.Flow cytometry was used to measure cell cycle and apoptosis.Results Human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 with Bcl-2 gene knock-out was successful constructed.Compared with wild type SW1990 cells,the growth of SW1990 cells with Bcl-2 gene knock-out was inhibited,the number of clone formation was significantly decreased [(160.7 ± 10.0) vs (285.3 ± 14.2)],the proportion of G1 cells was significandy increased [(84.51 ± 0.97) % vs (57.49 ± 1.08) %],the proportion of S phase cells significantly decreased [(12.82 ± 0.99) % vs (27.56 ± 1.65) %],and apoptosis rate was remarkably increased [(12.67 ± 0.59) % vs (0.37 ± 0.35) %],and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.01).Conclusions Knock-out of Bcl-2 gene can inhibit the growth of human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990,decrease the ability of clone formation,block the cell in G1 phase and greatly increase cell apoptosis rate.

Objective To study the computed tomography(CT)manifestations of involvement of bridging septa in the perirenal space(BSPS)during acute pancreatitis(AP)and its correlation with extrapancreatic inflam-mation on abdominal computed tomography(EPICT)score. Methods 106 patients with acute pancreatitis were included in this study. Emphasis was placed on CT findings of BSPS and the EPICT score in all the patients. Results The EPICT score was 4 to 7 in 67 patients,and the EPICT score was 0 to 3 in 39 patients. BSPS involve-ment was shown in all the patients. The left or right BSPS involved in 102 patients and 98 patients,respectively. Thickening of the BSPS was shown as strip shadow with slightly higher density and hazy border;fluid collection of the BSPS was shown as liquid density with hazy border. The involvement of BSPS showed a statistically significant association with the EPICT score in the AP patients(r=0. 703,P<0.01). Conclusion BSPS involved by acute pancreatitis is shown as a strip shadow with slightly higher density or as liquid density with hazy border on CT images, reflecting the severity of the acute pancreatitis.

Objective To investigate changes in nutritional status in senile dementia patients with malnutrition treated with enteral nutrition combined with rehabilitation therapy evaluated by using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form(MNA-SF).Methods Fifty hospitalized patients with senile dementia and malnutrition at the internal medicine department of our hospital from July 2014 to July 2017 were enrolled and further divided into an enteral nutrition group(a control group,n =25)and an enteral nutrition combined with rehabilitation therapy group(an observation group,n=25).Anthropometric parameters including body mass index,biceps circumference,calf circumference,triceps skin-fold thickness,and blood biochemical parameters including hemoglobin,total cholesterol,triacylglycerol,albumin,lymphocyte count before and after treatment were compared between the groups.Results Anthropometric parameters such as body mass index,biceps circumference,calf circumference and triceps skin-fold thickness had no significant difference between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05),while after 30 days of treatment,anthropometric parameters saw improvement in both groups compared with those before treatment,and the improvement was greater in the observation group than in the control group(P <0.01).Blood biochemical parameters had no significant difference between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).After 30 days of treatment,levels of total cholesterol and triacylglycerol had no significant difference compared with those before treatment or between the two groups(P >0.05),while levels of hemoglobin,albumin and lymphocyte count improved compared with those before treatment (t =2.645,2.843,2.967,respectively,P <0.01),and had significant differences between the groups (t =2.548,2.864,2.976,respectively,P<0.01).Conclusions Enteral nutrition combined with rehabilitation therapy has a measurable,positive influence on nutritional status in senile dementia patients with malnutrition.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of injectable polymyxin B combined with tigecycline in pneumonia caused by pan-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumonia (PDR-KP). Methods:The retrospective analysis utilized clinical data of 71 patients with PDR-KP admitted to the Neurointensive Care Unit of Beijing Chaoyang Integrative Medicine Emergency Medical Center between September 2018 and August 2021. All patients received injectable polymyxin B combined with tigecycline. The response rate, bacterial clearance rate, and safety of this therapeutic option were evaluated according to the clinical symptoms and biochemical parameters before treatment (baseline), 7 days after the treatment, and at the end of the treatment.Results:The treatment time of 71 patients ranged from 8 to 14 days, with an average of 11 days. The symptoms, signs, laboratory tests, and chest CT findings of most patients significantly improved after the treatment using polymyxin B combined with tigecycline. On the 7th day after the treatment, 37 patients were clinically effective, with a total effective rate of 52.1%(37/71); 41 patients obtained bacteriological clearance, with a bacterial clearance rate of 57.7%(41/71). At the end of treatment, 51 patients were clinically effective, with a total effective rate of 71.8%(51/71); 56 patients obtained bacteriological clearance, with a bacterial clearance rate of 78.9%(56/71). Compared with the results on the 7th day after the treatment, the total effective rate ( χ2=5.86, P=0.016) and bacterial clearance rate ( χ2=7.32, P=0.007) of patients at the end of treatment were significantly increased. Skin pigmentation occurred in 39.4%(28/71) of patients during the treatment. Conclusions:Polymyxin B combined with tigecycline can be tried as a treatment option for pneumonia caused by PDR-KP, but more reliable clinical evidence is still needed.
