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.

Cancer Research and Clinic 2006;0(09):-
Ezrin protein function as molecular linker between the actin-cytoskeleton and the plasma membrane,which involves in the formation of microvilli and the maintenance of cello-morphology, movement, adhereance as well as survival, intimate studies of its structure and function have been done. At present many studies indicate that Ezrin involves in the tumor development and tumor metastasis,relate to prognosis.

The expression mode in presentations may affect the efficiency during the teaching. In this study, we used a random-controlled trial to compare the educational efficiency in three different expression modes: script, pictures, animation. Test scores and questionnaire survey were statistically analyzed. It showed that the presentations with animation led to the highest average test score of the students. Visual objects could attract students' interest, enhance memory, and academic achievement. A proper insert of visual objects in teaching presentation is encouraged in the education of medical neurobiology for those medical students.

AIM: To study apoptosis and related genes expressions of cardiomyocytes in sinoaortic-denervated(SAD) rats. METHODS: SAD or sham-operation (Sham) was performed in male SD rats at the age of 10 weeks. After 16 weeks, apoptotic cells were stained in situ by terminal dexynucleotidyl-transferase mediated-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). All stained results were analysised using computer image analysis techniques. Protein products and mRNA of Bcl-2, Bax, Fas and Fas-L were assessed by quantitative immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. RESULTS: The numbers of apoptotic cardiomyocytes were significantly increased in SAD rats, the expressions of Bcl-2 were significantly decreased, whereas Bax,Fas and Fas-L were significantly increased in SAD rats. THZ]CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION: Apoptosis and dysregulation of gene expressions may be involved in the cardiomyocytes remodeling in SAD rats.

Objective To discuss the effect of blood glucose monitoring during pregnancy and pregnancy outcome in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods One hundred and fifty-three GDM patients from July 2007 to July 2008 were analysed.The cases were divided into satisfactory group (74 cases)and unsatisfactory group (79 cases) based on the level of bleod glucose and compared the pregnancy outcome between the two groups. Results The incidences of pre-eclampsia, polyhydramnios, macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia of satisfactory group were lower than those of unsatisfactory group(5.41% vs 17.72%,4.05% vs 20.25%, 12.16% vs 31.65% , 5.41% vs 20.25%,8.11% vs 30.38%). The difference is statistically significant (P <0.05). The incidence of premature rupture of membranes, premature birth, postpartum hemorrhage, fetal distress of satisfactory group were lower than those of unsatisfactory group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion GDM can cause great harm to maternal and child health, and satisfactory blood glucose control during pregnancy may reduce maternal and child complications.

Objective To investigate the effects of lappaconitine on the perioperative immune function.Methods Twenty-four ASA I or II patients aged 23-64 yr undergoing elective radical mastectomy (8 patients),iaminectomy and vertebral canal decompression (8 patients) or femoral head replacement (8 patients ) were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=12 each): control group (C) and lappaconitine group (L).In group L ondansetron 4 mg was given IV and lappaconitine 8 mg was infused IV over 30 rain before induction of anesthesia.In group C equal volume of normal saline was infused instead of lappaconitine.Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol,remifentanil and rocuronium.Lappaconitine 0.28 mg/ml was continuously infused at 2 ml/h after induction of anesthesia in group L.When the patients recovered from anesthesia after operation,PCA with 0.28 mg/ml lappaconitine was started (background infusion 2 ml/h,bolus dose 0.5 ml and lockout interval 15 min).In group C pethidine 50 mg and droperidol 2.5 mg were given IM on demand.Venous blood samples were taken at 30 rain before induction of anesthesia(T1,baseline),immediately (T2) and at 24 h(T3) and 48 h (T4)after operation for determination of TNF-α,IL-2,IFN-γ and sIL-6R concentration by ELISA.CD3,CD4,CD8 and NK cell expression was determined using flow cytometry and the ratio of CD4/CD8 was calculated.The concentrations of IgA,IgM,IgG,CD3 and CD4 were determined by radioimmunoassay.Results Plasma SIL-6R and TNF-α concentrations were significantly lower while IL-2,IgA,IgG,IgM concentrations and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher after operation in group L than in group C.Conclusion Lappaconitine can improve perioperafive humoral immune function thus contributing to its analgesic and anfi-inflammatory effects.

Objective To investigate the energy intakes and energy consumption in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients,and to identify the possible influence factors for overweight and obesity of CAPD patients.Methods A total of 115 CAPD patients were enrolled from May to December 2011 in Peking University Third Hospital.Based on body mass index (BMI),they were divided into normal group (18.5 kg/m2 ≤ BMI < 24 kg/m2,n =61) and obese group (BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2,n =54).Three-day dietary intakes including dietary energy,protein,fat,and carbohydrates intakes were collected.Glucose absorption from dialysate was measured.Three-day activities were recorded for the calculation of resting energy expenditure (REE) and total energy expenditure (TEE).Body composition of the patients was analyzed.Results There were no significant differences in age,height,dietary energy intake,protein intake,carbohydrate intakes,lean tissue mass,and hydration status between the two groups.Glucose absorption from dialysate and dietary fat intake were significantly higher in the obese group than in the normal group [(1 920.5 ± 506.3) kJ/d vs.(1 673.6 ±535.6) kJ/d,x2 =2.536,P=0.013; (62.5 ±19.8) g/dvs.(53.1 ±18.7) g/d,x2=2.575,P =0.011].Although REE was higher in the obese group as compared with the normal group [(5 066.8 ±1 029.3) kJ/d vs.(4 556.4 ± 799.1) kJ/d,x2 =2.979,P =0.004],there was no significant difference in TEE between the two groups [(7 819.9 ±728.0) kJ/d vs.(7 803.2 ± 1 092.0) kJ/d,x2 =0.770,P =0.939].Logistic regression showed that glucose absorption from dialysate and dietary fat intakes were risk factors for obesity in the study population (OR =1.003,95% CI =1.000-1.007,P =0.029 ; OR =1.024,95% CI =1.003-1.046,P =0.027).Conclusions Obese CAPD patients may absorb more glucose from peritoneal dialysate and consume more fat than non-obese CAPD patients,but TEE is not significantly different.It indicates that obese CAPD patients are at positive energy balance.Less use of high glucose dialysate and more physical exercises are recommended for these patients.
