Objective To study the effect of glutamine (Gln) on the intestinal mucosa inflammatory reaction and permeability after intestine ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods The rat model of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury was established by clamping the mesenteric superior artery and then restoring blood flow.Forty-eight model rats were divided into control group (n =24) and model + Gln group (n =24)according to the stochastic indicator method.Both groups were given enteral nutrition with equal energy and nitrogen [energy 125.4 kJ/ (kg · d) and nitrogen 0.2 g/ (kg · d)].The model +Gln group was fed with enteral nutrition plus 3% Gln,while the control group was fed with enteral nutrition plus 3% soybean protein.The experiment lasted 8 days after modeling.The intestinal mucosa and the plasma levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),Gln,D-LACtic acid and diamine oxidase (DAO) were observed in rats before and after modeling and on the 3rb and 8rd day of the experiment.Changes in the morphology of intestinal mucosa were observed by electron microscopy.Results After modeling in control and model + Gln group,the level of NF-κB in intestinal mucosa [18 cases (75.0%) and 17 cases (70.8%)] were significantly higher than those before modeling [0 case (0.0%),P =0.013,P =0.019],the level of IL-6 in intestinal mucosa [(313.27±75.28) pg/g and (321.75±76.46) pg/g] were significantly higher than those before modeling [(227.52 ±58.13) pg/g,P =0.023,P =0.043],and the level of TNF-α in intestinal mucosa [(241.28 ±65.29) pg/g and (240.35 ±64.86) pg/g] were significantly higher than those before modeling [(172.45 ±33.76) pg/g,P=0.036,P=0.011].The plasma level of IL-6 [(150.32 ± 18.74) ng/L and (148.21 ±20.19) ng/L] were significantly higher than those before modeling [(116.37 ± 14.59) ng/L,P =0.032,P =0.025],the plasma level of TNF-α [(127.62 ± 14.24) ng/Land (123.86 ± 13.75) ng/L] were significantly higher than those before modeling [(85.18 ± 8.84) ng/L,P =0.018,P =0.035],and the plasma level of D-LAC [(0.46 ±0.03) mmol/L and (0.51 ±0.04) mmol/L]were significantly higher than those before modeling [(0.27 ±0.02) mmol/L,P =0.041,P =0.018],and the plasma level ofDAO [(2.76±0.57) U/ml and (2.58 ±0.51) U/ml] were significantly higher than those before modeling [(1.52±0.24) U/ml,P=0.015,P=0.037],while the plasma level of Gln [(0.18 ±0.01) g/L and (0.21 ± 0.01) g/L] were significantly lower than those before modeling [(0.39 ± 0.03) g/L,P =0.026,P =0.031].On the 3rd and 8th days of the experiment in the control group,the level of NF-κB in intestinal mucosa [16 cases (66.7%),15 cases (62.5%)] were significantly higher than those before modeling (P =0.027,P =0.002),the level of TNF-α in intestinal mucosa [(226.23 ±55.35) pg/g and (214.76 ±54.82) pg/g] were significantly higher than those before modeling (P=0.042,P =0.038)],the level of IL-6in intestinal mucosa [(297.56 ± 71.39) pg/g and (291.49 ± 68.46) pg/g] were significantly higher than those before modeling (P =0.031,P =0.012).On the 3rd and 8th days in the control group,the plasma level of IL-6[(147.38 ± 17.25) ng/L and (144.65 ± 15.32) ng/L] were significantly higher than those before modeling (P =0.016,P =0.034),the plasma level of TNF-α [(121.75 ± 13.72) ng/L and (113.83 ± 11.69) ng/L] were significantly higher than those before modeling (P =0.025,P =0.041),the plasma level of D-LAC [(0.41 ±0.03) mmol/L and (0.53 ±0.05) mmol/L)] were significantly higher than those before modeling (P =0.029,P =0.030),the plasma level of DAO [(2.51 ± 0.52) U/ml and (1.76 ± 0.34) U/ml] were significantly higher than those before modeling (P =0.034,P =0.016).The plasma level of Gln [(0.22 ±0.01) g/L and (0.21 ±0.03) g/L] were significantly lower than those before modeling (P =0.042,P =0.035).On the 3rd day of the experiment in the model + Gln group,the levels of NF-κB,TNF-α,and IL-6 in intestinal mucosa [14 cases (58.3%),(213.78 ±43.76) pg/g,(293.72 ±69.86) pg/g] were significantly higher than those before modeling (P =0.038,P =0.026,P =0.013) ;

P =0.032,P =0.025 ; P =0.024,P =0.037 ; P =0.022,P =0.036) ; the plasma level of Gln [(0.40 ±0.03) g/L] was significantly higher than those after modeling and in the control group (P =0.028,P =0.032).Under the electron microscope,the structure of villus and recess was damaged after modeling,villi were sparse and short,with a lot of inflammatory cell infiltration in the lamina propria.Lymphangiectasia and edema occured after modeling.On the 8th day,compared with after modeling and the control group,intestinal villi and recess structure were significantly restored in the model + Gln group; compared with the after-modeling status,the recovery of intestinal mucosa villi and recess structure was not obvious,and the inflammatory cell infiltration in the lamina propria persisted in the control group.Conclusion Gln repairs ischemia-reperfusion injury in the intestinal mucosa by regulating intestinal mucosa inflammatory cytokine release,inhibitng inflammatory response,and reducing the permeability of the intestinal mucosa.

Objective To investigate postoperative complications and proper treatment of craniopharyngioma after microsurgical resection. Methods The postoperative complications and treatments of 58 patients with craniopharyngioma who underwent microneurosurgical resection in our department were analyzed retrospectively. Results In the 58 cases ,45 cases received total resection, 11 cases received subtotal resection, and 2 cases received partial resection. Different levels of postoperative complications occurred in all of the cases, with diabetes insipidus in 55 cases , hypematremia and hyperchloraemia in 32 cases, hyponatremia in 25 cases, hyperpyrexia in 24 cases and hyperglycosemia acidosis in 2 cases. Forty-seven cases recovered clinically,9 cases improved,and 2 cases died. Conclusions Postoperative intensive monitor of water intake,and discharge,fluctuation of electrolyte, and actively correction of diabetes insipidus and electrolyte disturbances and maintaince of fluid balance may play an important role in postoperation treatment of craniopharyngiomas.

BACKGROUND:The bony crista has been found in the distal humeral medullary cavity,but its specific morphological characteristics and clinical significance are not clear.OBJECTIVE:To study the morphology of bony crista inside the distal intramedullary of the human humerus and its potential clinical relevance.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:CT scanning and measurement as well as visualized observation to the specimen for the dry adult humeri was performed at CT Room and Department of Orthopaedics,First Affiliated Hospital,Nanchang University from June to December 2007.MATERIALS:A total of 80 dry adult humeri (left:49;right:31) were purchased from the Department of Anatomy,Medical College of Nanchang University,excluding the fractured and lesion humerus.METHODS:The low 1/3 of eighty human humeri were scanned by 16 layer spiral CT.The morphological features of the intramedullary bony prominence above the olecranon fossa was described in terms of coronal plane,sagittal plane and transverse section after three-dimensional reconstruction.The low 1/3 of twenty humeri were then split vertically in the middle line in coronal plane,to view the intramedullary bony crista directly.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The bony crista mainly located on the medial or lateral side,the range of the bas'dar part of the bony crista,alinement characteristic of the bony crista.RESULTS:The extent of intramedullary bony crista ranged from 1.9 to 3.2 cm (mean 2.6 cm) above the olecranon fossa,the density similar to cortical bone,with an basement posterior,and medial part and lateral side intero-inferiody incline.59 out of the 80 humeri,medial side dorminated;on the rest humeri the lateral side dorminated.2 or 3 parallel lines on the dorminate side,irregular alignment on the other side.CONCLUSION:The study described the morphology of the distal intramedullary bony crista of the humerus,which has never been reported so far.In addition,its clinical relevance in terms of the internal fixation of fracture on the distal humerus and elbow arthroplasty was also demonstrated.
