Objective To summarize the experience of the diagnosis and treatment of mass-type chronic pancreatitis(MTCP) to improve the knowledge about MTCP. Methods The clinical data of tweent-five patients with MTCP undergoing operation in recent 8 years were analyzed retrospectively. The positive discovery rates with computed tomography(CT),ultrasonography(US),endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP),and endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS) were 95.7%,85.7%,83.3%,and 100%,respectively. All patients received operation,including pancreatoduodenectomy(15 cases),pancreatoduodenectomy with reservation of pylorus(2 cases),Beger′s procedure(1 case),Frey′s procedure(3 cases),and resection of pancreatic body and tail(4 cases). Results Upper quadrant abdominal pain is the main symptom of MTCP. Pancreatic masses were located in the head of pancreas in 21 cases(84.0%),in the body or tail in four cases(16.0%). 16 patients were diagnosed as MTCP and 9 diagnosed as pancreatic adenocarcinoma before operation. 22 patients were diagnosed as MTCP and 3 were diagnosed as chronic pancreatitis complicated with adenocarcinoma by pathology after operation.Preoperative misdiagnosis rate was 24.0%. Pain relieved immediately after operation in 92.0% of patients. One patients developed pancreatic leakage and two had anastomotic hemorrhage postoperatively,morbidity rate was 12.0%. 23 patients were followed-up for 1-5 years (mean 3.4 years). The therapeutic outcome was satisfactory in 82.6% of patients. Conclusions Operation should be performed as early as possible when the MTCP is diagnosed. It is effective to delay the progress of the disease.

Aim To investigate the effects of Naotai formula extract(NTE)on the expression of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) and hephaestin(Heph) in hippocampus of rats after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion by Keap1-Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.Methods Eighty rats were randomly divided into five groups as follows: sham operation group(Sham), cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group(I/R), low dose group of NTE(4.5 g·kg-1), middle dose group of NTE (9 g·kg-1) and high dose group of NTE(18 g·kg-1).Rats were pretreated by intragastric administration for three consecutive days, and then subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) 2 hours before reperfusion.The rats were administered with intragastric administration for two days.After cerebral ischemia reperfusion 72 hours, the behavioral activity of rats was recorded by Zea Longa neurological score, and the infarct volume was measured by TTC staining.The expressions of Nrf2, HO-1 and Heph in hippocampus of cerebral ischemia reperfusion rats were observed by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot, respectively.Results Compared with model group, the neurobehavioral scores significantly decreased in NTE high-dose and middle-dose groups (P<0.01);the infarct volume of NTE groups markedly decreased (P<0.01);the expression of HO-1 mRNA apparently increased (P<0.05) in NTE groups;the expression of Heph mRNA significantly increased in NTE middle-dose and high-dose groups (P<0.05);the expression of Nrf2 and Heph protein evidently increased in the NTE middle and high dose groups (P<0.05, P<0.01);and the expression of HO-1 protein also increased in NTE groups(P<0.01).Conclusions Naotai formula can relieve cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.The mechanism might be associated with activating Keap1-Nrf2/ARE signaling pathways, promoting HO-1 generation, advancing the expression of Heph, and then reducing brain iron deposition, to achieve the protection of neurons after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Danggui Shaoyaosan (DSS) on the morphology and function of mitochondria in rats model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its possible mechanism. MethodRats model of AD was established by injection of streptozocin (STZ) into bilateral ventricles of SD rats. The 40 rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group, low, medium and high dosages of Danggui Shaoyaosan (12,24,36 g·kg-1·d-1) groups,observed the morphological changes of mitochondria in hippocampus of rats by electron microscopy after 14 days of continuous gavage. In situ end labeling(TUNEL) staining used to detect apoptosis and immunofluorescencereactive used to observe the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ coactivator lalpha (PGC-1α),quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR)detected the mRNA expression of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1),mitochondrial fusion protein 2 (MFN2) ,cytochrome C oxidase subunit Ⅳ (COX Ⅳ) and PGC-1α. Western blot detected the protein expression of adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK),phosphorylation(p)-AMPK,recombinant Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and PGC-1α. ResultCompared with the sham group,the results of model group showed that the damage of mitochondria in hippocampus was more obvious,accelerated the ROS production and apoptosis rate (P<0.01),decreased the mRNA level of MFN2,COX Ⅳ,PGC-1α,increased the mRNA level of Drp1,and descended the protein of p-AMPK/AMPK,SIRT1,PGC-1α (P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the medium and high dose of DSS group notably improved the damage of mitochondria,reduced the production of ROS and apoptosis rate (P<0.01),promoted the mRNA expression of MFN2,COX Ⅳ,PGC-1α,inhibited the mRNA expression of Drp1,and up-regulated the protein of p-AMPK/AMPK,SIRT1,PGC-1α (P<0.01). ResultDSS can significantly ameliorate the mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance in AD rats.
