OBJECTIVETo systematically assess the effect of early enteral nutrition support after gastrointestinal operation on prognosis.
METHODSThe Cochrane Library, PubMed, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases were retrieved via computer system for randomized controlled trails(RCTs) with early enteral nutrition support to patients undergoing gastrointestinal operation. Quality of studies was evaluated by the Cochrane Jadad rating scale. Nutrition indexes, bowel function indices, postoperative complications, health-economics indices were collected. Meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.2.
RESULTSEleven relevant RCTs studies with 1087 cases were enrolled, including 541 patients in the study group(early enteral nutrition) and 546 in the control group. Meta-analysis showed that patients in the study group had significantly higher levels of plasma albumin and prealbumin than those in the control group(WMD=2.87, 95%CI:1.03-4.71; WMD=0.04, 95%CI:0.02-0.05). The time of postoperative bowel ventilation in the study group was significantly shorter than that in the control group(WMD=4.10, 95%CI:-5.38--2.82). The postoperative complication rate in the study group was significantly lower as compared to the control group(RR=0.64, 95%CI:0.44-0.93).
CONCLUSIONEarly enteral nutrition support after gastrointestinal operation is safe and effective, which can improve the nutritional status, promote bowel function return, and reduce postoperative complication rate.

OBJECTIVETo investigate phenotype, cell differentiation and cytogenetic properties of bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) separated from the myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients. And to analyze cytogenetic aberration of MSC derived from MDS (MDS-MSC) and its mechanism in pathogenesis of MDS.
METHODSAdherent MSC from both myelodysplastic (n = 22) and normal (n = 7) marrow were obtained by a stromal culture procedure. Morphological features were observed by optical microscope. The cell-surface antigens were performed by flow cytometer(FCM). Adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation potential of MSC were identified under specific induction conditions. Standard cytogenetic analysis of both hematopoietic cells and MSC were performed by trypsin-Giemsa (GTG) banding. The karyotype analysis DNA content was determined by FCM to verify the results.
RESULTSThe morphology of MDS-MSC was typical slender spindle-shaped cells, MSC obtained from MDS patients had a MSC immunophenotype, lacked the expression of hematopoietic antigens-CD34, CD45 and expressed MSC markers, such as CD73, CD90, and CD105. MDS-MSC layers showed the capability to differentiate towards adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts. Cytogenetic aberrations were observed in MSC from 14 (64%) MDS patients, usually involve the loss of chromosomal material (92%), and the clonal loss (7 cases, 50%). Two cases of structural aberrations were also detected. Abnormal karyotypes in MSC were still more frequently identified in abnormal hematopoietic cells group (12 out of 13, 92% vs 3 out of 9, 33%, P < 0.05). There were not exactly the same type of chromosomal aberrations between hematopoietic cells and MSC, but different type of the aberrations in the same chromosome were involved.
CONCLUSIONMDS-MSC retains the phenotyping characteristics and differentiated function of normal MSC, but has different type of chromosomal abnormalities. A high proportion of loss of chromosomal may be a marker of chromosomal instability of MDS-MSC. Detection of abnormalities in MDS-MSC suggests enhanced genetic susceptibility of these cells in MDS. This may indicate potential involvement of MSC in the pathophysiology of MDS.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the mechanism of action of emodin for suppressing acute allograft rejection in a rat model of liver transplantation.
METHODSBrown Norway (BW) recipient rats of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) were divided into three groups, Group A receiving isografting (with BW rats as donor), Group B receiving allografting (with Lewis rats as donor), Group C receiving allografting and emodin treatment (50 mg/kg daily). They were sacrificed on day 7 of post-transplantation, and their hepatic histology, plasma cytokine levels, and T-cell subset expression were detected.
RESULTSCompared with those in Group A, rats: in Group B exhibited severe allograft rejection with a rejection activity index (RAI) of 7.67+/-0.98, extensive hepatocellular apoptosis with an apoptosis index (AI) of 35.83+/-2.32, and elevated plasma levels of interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), CD4(+) and CD4 CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio. However, recipients in Group C showed a decrease in histological grade of rejection and hepatocellular apoptosis, as well as a decrease in plasma levels of IL-2, TNF-alpha, CD4(+) and CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio, but elevated levels of IL-10 as compared with the allograft group.
CONCLUSIONPost-OLT acute rejection could be attenuated by emodin, its mechanism of action may be associated with protecting hepatocytes from apoptosis, polarizing the Th 1 paradigm to Th2, and inhibiting the proliferation of CD4(+) T cell in plasma.

OBJECTIVETo study angiogenesis and regulatory factors in the proliferated prostatic tissues of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats with BPH induced by testosterone.
METHODSSixteen castrated SD rats, aged 8 weeks and weighing 200 approximately 250 g, were equally randomized into a model group and a control group, and the BPH model was established by subcutaneous injection of testosterone. Immunohistochemistry and MIAS (micro-image analysis system) were used to test the manifestations of MVD (microvessel density), VEGF (vascular endothelium growth factor), flk-1, endostatin, MMP-2 (matrix metalloproteinase-2) and TIMP-2 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2) in the prostatic tissues of both the model and the control groups. Multiple linear regression with the stepwise method was adopted to analyze the data.
RESULTSThe manifestations of MVD, VEGF, flk-1, MMP-2, MMP-2/TIMP-2 and VEGF/endostatin in the model group were higher, while that of endostatin was lower than in the control group (P < 0.01), and the manifestation of TIMP-2 showed no statistical difference between the two groups. The regression analysis indicated that MVD was positively correlated to VEGF, VEGF/endostatin and MMP-2/TIMP-2 (r = 0.974, 0.986, 0.982, P < 0.05) and negatively correlated to endostatin (r = - 0.975, P < 0.05) .
CONCLUSIONTestosterone could induce BPH in SD rats by increasing MVD and promoting the multiplication of vascular endothelial cells after regradation of basement membrane.

OBJECTIVESTo analyze the reason of revisions no more than 5 years after primary hip replacement, and to discuss the methods how to prevent and manage.
METHODSRetrospectively review 11 cases with revision no more than 5 years after primary total hip replacement from January 2002 to June 2007. The reasons for revision were as follows: 2 cases were recurrent dislocation due to malposition of acetabular prosthesis; 5 cases were loosening of acetabular prosthesis; 1 case was abrasion of the native acetabulum by bipolar femoral head; 2 cases were periprosthetic femoral fractures and 1 case was periprosthetic infection. The average follow-up time was 36 months. Each patient was assessed according to Harris hip score. The revision procedures including liner only, acetabular prosthesis only, or both acetabular prosthesis and femoral prosthesis depending on the reasons for revision, two-stage revision was performed on 1 case with periprosthetic infection.
RESULTSThe average of Harris hip score was increased from 46 (28 to 62) preoperatively to 86 (75 to 96) at follow up. The complication occurred in 2 cases: one was postoperative haematoma formation who was performed further surgery for clearance of haematoma, another was slight instability of the hip joint who was accepted skin traction for 3 weeks.
CONCLUSIONSThe main reason for revision after primary total hip replacement is related to uncorrected insert of acetabular prosthesis. Improving surgical technique of insert of acetabular prosthesis is important in primary total hip replacement.

OBJECTIVETo explore the association of gene polymorphism of organophosphate insecticides (OPs) metabolic enzymes with intermediate myasthenia syndrome (IMS) following acute OPs poisoning.
METHODSThirty six of 147 acute OPs poisoning patients developed IMS one to four days after poisoning. Peripheral blood samples were collected from all the patients and whole blood cholinesterase (ChE) activity was determined by DTNB spectrometry. The genetic polymorphism of CYP2E1 (1091C-->T) and GSTP1 (313A-->G) were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restrict fragment length polymorphism, CYP1A1 (4889A-->G), GSTM1 and GSTT1 by allele-specific PCR, and PON1 at 55 codon (55L-->M) by PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism.
RESULTSThe whole blood ChE activity in IMS patients was not significantly different from non-IMS patients at admission (38.22 +/- 17.56)% and (42.49 +/- 16.23)%, respectively, P > 0.05, but recovered much slower in IMS patients than that in non-IMS patients. The frequencies of heterozygote and variant homozygote of PON1 at 55 codon, GSTM1 null, and both GSTM1 and GSTT1 null were higher in IMS patients than those in non-IMS patients (P < 0.05), with odds ratios and their 95% confident intervals of 2.48 (1.06 - 5.78), 11.23 (2.95- 42.76), 2.53 (1.14 - 5.61) and 2.68 (1.20 - 5.97), respectively.
CONCLUSIONSPatients of OPs and its mixture poisoning with genotype of variant allele at 55 codon of PON1, GSTM1 null and both GSTM1 and GSTT1 null probably had higher risk for IMS.
