Objective To observe the outcome of the implementation of personalized enteral nutrition of severe acute pancreatitis patients. Methods 24 patients with severe acute pancreatitis admitted from June 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 were divided into experimental group and control group according to the random number table method. Control group calculated the energy supply according to the basic energy expend formula while experimental group according to the actual enery expend formula. Hemoglobin, albumin, C-reactive protein, serum and urine amylase, complication rate, hospitalization time and cost changes were compared. Results 7 days after enteral nutrition, hemoglobin content and albumin content of experimental group were higher than those of control group [(130.50±17.60) g/L vs.(126.33±23.96) g/L, t=-4.231, P<0.05; (40.88±4.66) g/L vs.(36.29±3.45) g/L, t=-2.263, P<0.05]. And C-reactive protein of experimental group were lower than that of control group [(47.62±9.89) mg/L vs.(58.22±11.23) mg/L, t=3.618, P<0.05]. Hospitalization time and cost of experimental group were lower than those of control group [(22.50±5.85) d vs.(16.75±6.47) d, t=12.272, P<0.01; (36 364.76±2 162.08) yuan vs.(14 143.44±3 921.78) yuan, t=9.421, P<0.01]. Conclusions The implementation of personalized enteral nutrition is more hepful for the physiological requirements of individual patients, and not affect the pancreatic secretion. At the same time, inflammatory mediators can be reduced and also reduce the economic burden of patients and society.

Background and purpose:Visceral pleural invasion (VPI) and vessel invasion (VI) are poor prognostic factors in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary initial recurrence site may be local recurrence in VPI and distant metastasis in VI. The purpose of this study was to validate the prognostic impact and effect of the initial recurrence site of VPI and VI on survival outcomes for NSCLC.Methods:Two hundred and ninety patients who were diagnosed as having NSCLC and underwent lobectomy between Jan. 2007 and Dec. 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. VPI was identiifed in 51 patients as VPI group, the other 239 patients without VPI as non-VPI group. VI was identiifed in 29 patients as VI group, the other 261 patients without VI as non-VI group. Clinical characteristics, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) were compared.Results:There were statistically signiifcant differences between VPI group and non-VPI group in tumor size, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage and initial recurrence site (P<0.05). Furthermore, there were statistically signiifcant differences between VI group and non-VI group in lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0.05). The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates in VPI group (88.2%, 56.7% and 52.7%) were lower than those in non-VPI group (95.8%, 83.7% and 74.0%,P<0.001). The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates in VI group (79.3%, 56.8% and 48.7%) were lower than those in non-VI group (96.1%, 81.3% and
72.3%,P=0.001). Cox regression showed TNM stage was a significant prognostic factor for DFS, whereas lymph node metastasis and VPI were signiifcant prognostic factors in patients with NSCLC.Conclusion:The primary initial recurrence site in VPI patients is local recurrence. Patients with VPI or VI may need more postoperative therapy because of their poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate whether serum level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol can predict the expan?sion of hemorrhage growth in elderly male patients with acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods Patients (n=108) who visited our hospital with from June 2012 until May 2014 spontaneous hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage with?in 6 hours of onset which is confirmed by initial computed tomography (CT) were sent to repeated CT within 24 hours of on?set. All selected patients were divided into the LDL-C≥2.49 mmol/L group and LDL-C<2.49 mmol/L group. Clinical data of these 2 groups were compared and the relationships of hematoma growth and its risk factors were analyzed. Results Baseline blood pressure, the level of blood glucose, PT, APTT, FIB, PLT and hemorrhage volume did not differ significantly between the LDL-C≥2.49 mmol/L group and LDL-C<2.49 mmol/L group. The ratio of hemorrhage growth in LDL-C<2.49 mmol/L group was significantly higher than that in LDL-C≥2.49 mmol/L group (34.21%vs 11.43%). Multiple logistic regres?sion analysis showed that LDL-C<2.49 mmol/L was the only risk factor contribute to hemorrhage growth. Conclusion Pa?tients with LDL-C<2.49 mmol/L in acute intracerebral hemorrhage are of high risk of hemorrhage growth so early attention and appropriate procedure are needed to prevent or slow its growth.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have mainly focused on costal cartilage, articular cartilage, nasal septal cartilage, and auricular cartilage, but in vitro culture of human vertebral endplate cartilage is stil rarely reported. OBJECTIVE: To discuss the feasibility of culture of vertebral endplate chondrocytes from type I neurofibromatosis associated with scoliosis patientsin vitro and to study the biological characters of the chondrocytes. METHODS: Through two-step enzymatic digestion and tissue culture, the chondrocytes from the vertebral endplate of seven type I neurofibromatosis patients isolated and cultured in monolayer and passaged to observe the changes of cel morphology under inverted phase contrast microscope. Colagen type II expression was detected by immunocytochemistry to identify whether the cels had chondrocyte characters. The growth kinetics was detected by using MTT colorimetric assay to draw the growth curve of passage 2 chondrocytes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A few chondrocytes crawled from the cartilage after 2 weeks culture and cels were passaged at 3 weeks. Along with passage going on, the phenotype of chondrocytes was changed from polygonal, round, triangle, and irregular shapes to fusiform. The colagen type II expression in passage 2 cels was positive by immunohistochemical staining. MTT test showed the growth curve of the passage 2 chondrocytes presented a transverse “S”. Cels were found logarithmic growth at days 4-7, reached platform stage at days 8-13, and decreased at day 14. It is an effective and simple procedure by two-step enzymatic digestion and tissue explant method to culture vertebral endplate chondrocytes with high purity and good viability from type I neurofibromatosis patients associated with scoliosisin vitro. Passage 2 chondrocytes from the vertebral endplate exhibit the best viability at days 4-7, which can be used as targets for research of pathogenesis of type I neurofibromatosis with atrophic scoliosis.

BACKGROUND:Previously deep burn wound or skin defects are generaly repaired with skin grafting or flap of skin grafting. Obvious scar hyperplasia usualy appears after operation, which requires multiple surgeries. Meanwhile, patients have to suffer from great pain and bear high cost. OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effects on deep wounds by continuous traction of self-designed skin-stretching device (patent No. ZL 2012 2 0022443.7). METHODS: Thirty patients with deep burn wound, skin defect or funicular scar were enroled, including 22 males and 8 females, aged 18-49 years, and randomly divided into two groups. Skin-stretching device was adopted for skin traction treatment. Twenty cases underwent skin traction from 1 kg puling force to 5 kg, with an increase of 1 kg per 2 days, 6 hours a day for 10 days. Blood flow at the beginning, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minutes of the skin traction, and the changes of wound edge skin as wel as histological changes of the skin were observed. Of the remaining 10 cases, 2, 6, and 2 cases underwent skin traction of 2, 4, 7 kg, respectively. Blood flow and skin changes were also observed to find out the most suitable and safe force. RESULTS AND CONLUSION:Al the 30 cases achieved primary healing without necrosis of skin, infection or peripheral circulatory disorders, and the appearance and function recovered wel. The healing time was 8-24 days. The skin-stretching device was most safe under 4 kg puling force, by which, there was neither blood circulation obstacle nor tear of skin. After traction, the skin blood flow and the number of cels increased, especialy the epithelial basal cels. The colagen fibers became thicker and denser, and the elastic fibers regenerated significantly; the fibroblasts and capillary density increased. It has been proved that we can better close the wound and reduce scar formation effectively with the self-designed skin-stretching device for skin traction.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo investigate the diagnosis, treatment method, key points of operation, and postoperative complications of high-risk esophageal foreign body.METHODSA retrospective analysis of 41 cases of high-risk esophageal foreign body from January 1996 to December 2014. After adequate preparation, the foreign body was removed via esophageal endoscope under general anesthesia.RESULTSThe foreign bodies in 41 patients were removed via esophageal endoscope once or twice. Two cases suffered postoperative subcutaneous emphysema, that may be a result of a small perforation in esophagus. Emphysema was disappeared by fast, rehydration and anti-infection for 6 to 8 days, and other serious complications did not occur.CONCLUSIONMost high-risk esophageal foreign bodies can be removed through rigid esophagoscopy. Some of the foreign bodies of the patients were difficult to remove, some patients were presented with mediastinal emphysema and pneumothorax due to esophageal perforation, and some foreign body stuck in oesophagus so long to cause esophageal mucosa ulcer. In these conditions, foreign bodies should be removed by lateral neck incision or thoracotomy.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of restenosis after carotid stent and balloon angioplasty for the Guangxi swines by intravascular ultrasound(IVUS). Methods Twelve Guangxi swines fed by a high cholesterol diet were randomly divided into two groups. Seven stents were implanted in the left carotid artery of six swines in the first group, and balloon angioplasty was performed in the left carotid artery of swines in the other group. Digital subtraction angiography(DSA) and IVUS were conducted respectively before and after the intervention and in the 13th week. Results IVUS found that the percentage of area stenosis in stent group was (18.31±7.79) % and in balloon group (37.28±7.89) % in the 13th week. The percentage of area restenosis in stent was obviously related to neointimal hyperplasia (r = 0.897, P<0.05), the percentage of area restenosis due to balloon angioplasty was markedly related to area decrease of external elastic lamina (r = 0.856, P<0.05). Conclusions The restenosis in stent was related to intimal hyperplasia of blood vessel,and restenosis after balloon angioplasty had some connection with area decrease of external elastic lamina.
