Clinical Medicine of China 2011;27(7):747-750
Objective To investigate the effects of preoperative biliary drainage ( PBD ) on the morbidity and mortality of pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice in the lower bile duct. Methods Clinical data of 74 cases undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy from Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2005 with preoperative total bilirubin level over 85 μmol/L were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Comparison was performed between patients receiving PBD and those not. Before surgery. The parameters sincluding perioperative situation, in-hospital death rate, post-operative complications and were calculated to evaluate the influence of pre-operative biliary drainage on the outcomes. Univariate analysis and Logistic analysis were used to identify the risk factors for post-operative complications. Results Forty (40/74) cases received PTCD procedure. The total bilirubin was significantly reduced from (338. 10±88. 38 )μwnol/L to ( 228. 50±82.24) μ,mol/L in PTCD population and was significantly lower than ( 328. 60±93. 02) μmol/L of the non-PTCD group. There was no significance between the two groups in terms of total complications and individual complication Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative TB over 340 μmol/L and blood loss over 600 ml were important risk factors for post-operative complications. Conclusion High pre-operative total bilirubin over 340 μmol/L increases the risk of post-operative complications in the patients with malignant jaundice. Preoperative biliary drainage is useful to reduce the total bilirubin and improve the hepatic function of the patients. Prolonged pre-operative biliary drainage could be considered in the patients with high preoperative bilirubin,poor nutritional condition and impaired coagulation to enhance the tolerance of surgery.

To study the antioxidative stress effect of probucol for nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS: Sixty - eight clinic patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy were selected from January, 2012 to August, 2013. According to the random number table, the patients were divided into control group and observation group, the control group was received conventional medicine for hypoglycemic therapy, and the observation group was given probucol (0. 375g, twice daily) on the basis of control group. All patients were followed up for average 11. 58 ± 0. 17mo. At the same time 16 healthy volunteers matched with baseline were collected as normal control group. Changes in fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, the staging progress rate and the remission rate of diabetic retinopathy, and indicators related to oxidative stress, such as, total antioxide capacity ( TAOC ) , superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) , and methane dicarboxy aldehyde ( MDA ) , of two groups of patients before and after therapy were observed.RESULTS: Fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin of patients in two groups before and after therapy showed no significant changes, and the differences had no statistical significance. The staging remission rate and the progress rate of diabetic retinopathy of the control group after therapy were 3% and 19% respectively. The staging remission rate and the progress rate of diabetic retinopathy of the observation group after probucol therapy were 18% and 5% respectively. ln comparison with the control group, the difference had statistical significance (P<0. 05). TAOC, SOD, MDA of the control group before and after therapy had no obvious change, but TAOC, SOD of the observation group after therapy had significantly increased, and MDA had significantly decreased ( P < 0. 05 ), with statistical significance in comparison with the changes of the patients in the control group after therapy (P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON:Probucol can improve the antioxidative stress status of the patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, and enhance the therapeutic effect of the patients with diabetic retinopathy.

BACKGROUND:High-density lipoprotein is related to lipid metabolism, but its function cannot be restricted to the scope of lipid metabolism. Simultaneously, exercise regulation has effects on the activity and amount of high-density lipoprotein, but the optimal movement pattern needs to be studied. OBJECTIVE:To offer the theoretical support for formulating fitness training and prospect the possible direction and reference in fol ow-up studying the biological function and exercise regulation of high-density lipoprotein. METHODS:PubMed database was searched for relevant articles published from 1990 to 2015 using the keywords of“HDL and exercise, HDL and biological function”in English. Final y, 44 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The biological functions of high-density lipoprotein mainly include high-density lipoprotein-mediated metabolism of glucose, protein and fat, anti-inflammation, antioxidation and insulin secretion, and at the same time, we summarize the effects of exercise on the concentration, numbers of molecular and components of high-density lipoprotein. The results indicate that the combination of resistance and endurance training is the best way for raising the concentration and functional effects of high-density lipoprotein.

BACKGROUND: D-dimer is the specific marker of cross-link fibers degraded by fibrinolysin. During cerebral hemorrhage, D-dimer is significantly increased; its decrease may reflect the absorption process of hematoma and be closely related with the substantial injuries of brain. Endothelin is remarkably increased during cerebral hemorrhage, which may result in ischemic necrosis of neural histiocytes. The endothelin volume in cerebral hemorrhagic patients can reflect the severity of illness and the function prognosis.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of xingnaojing he shengmai injection (compound injection) on D-dimer and endothelin in patients at acute stage of cerebral hemorrhage.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled trial.SETTING: Emergent Internal Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University and Department of Pathology of Jinan Military General Hospital.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 44 patients of inspected patients at acute stage of cerebral hemorrhage were collected in Emergent Internal Department of affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University from September 1999 to May 2001, which were randomized into two groups, named as xingnaojing he shengmai injection(compound injection) group(23 patients) and xingnaojing group(21 patients).METHODS: ELISA method was applied to determine the level of D-dimer and endothelin of peripheral blood before and after treatment. SPSS 8.0 statistical software was applied to analyze the data.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effects of xingnaojing he shengmai injection(compound injection) on level of D-dimer and endothelin in patients at acute stage of cerebral hemorrhage, compare with xingnaojing group.RESULTS: Xingnaojing he shengmai injection(compound injection) significantly reduced the level of both D-dimer[ (0. 67 ± 0. 21), (0.34 ± 0.18) mg/L,P < 0.01 ] and endothelin[ (94.52 ±30. 23), (51.30 ± 21.62) ng/L, P< 0.01 ] before and after treatment respectively. The improvement of which was obviously superior to those in xingnaojing group[ (0. 33 ±0. 11),(0.20±0.08)mg/L, P <0.01; (43.22±12.06), (26.52±8.13)ng/L respectively, concerning to the improvements in two groups, P < 0. 01 ].CONCLUSION: To improve the fibrinolytic state in patients with cerebral hemorrhage may protect the substantial injuries of brain and prevent the secondary damage after cerebral hemorrhage. To inhibit cerebral vascular spasm after hemorrhage may improve ischemic oxygen deficiency in brain tissue and probably be taken as one of the ways for xingnaojing he shengmai injection giving play to its therapeutic effects.
