Objective To evaluate the value of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients with dysphagia. Method Sixty-five ALS patients underwent PEG from April 2005 to July 2010 were analysed retrospectively. Results All the 65 patients underwent PEG,and 2 patients failed because of dyspnea. Totally 63 patients were intubated successfully,the successful rate was 96.9%(63/65). The operation time was 8-17 min. Two patients had local infection.After 3 months, the body mass index was increased from (18.3 ± 1.0) kg/m2 to (19.7 ± 1.2) kg/m2(t = 15.8,P < 0.01), without peritonitis, migration of the gastrostomy tube and other complications. Conclusions PEG is a safe method with a low complication for ALS patients to get enteral nutrition. Dyspnea is the main reason of failure.

Lactic acid production of twelve strains of LAB isolated from broiler intestine and tolerance property of three strains were investigated. The results of lactic acid production showed that among all strains K6 exhibited the most rapid production during the first twelve hours, the seconds were K9 and C1; D17 exhibited the highest production of lactic acid by twenty-four hours, C1 exhibited the highest production of lactic acid by forty-eight hours. The pH values in three strains of K9、D17 and C1 culture showed the fast decline during the first twelve hours, with the final values significantly lower than those of other strains cultures. The results of tolerance property showed that the survival counts of C1could be detected when pH value was at 2 after three hours, but the survival counts of D17 and K9 could not be detected after one hour. When pH value was at 2.5 after three hours ,the survival counts of C1 declined from 10~ 8.2 /mL to 10~ 4.8 /mL, K9 from 10~ 8.2 /mL to 10~ 4.6 /mL, the survival counts of D17 could not be detected. 0.08% bile had few effects on the survival counts of three strains; when incubated in the medium with 0.40% bile, the survival counts of C1 declined from 10~ 8.4 /mL to 10~ 6.5 /mL,D17 from 10~ 10.3 /mL to 10~ 7.5 /mL, and K9 from 10~ 9.8 /mL to 10~ 7.7 /mL. When the group treated with 37℃ for 20 minutes was served as the control, the survival counts of C1 and K9 was not detected when treated with 80℃, but the survival counts of D17 were 10~ 4.9 /mL, when treatment with 65℃ the survival counts of C1 and K9 decreased significantly .

Objective To investigate the characteristics of etiology,efficacy of endoscopic management for recurrent idiopathic pancreatitis (RIP).MethodsThe clinical data of 58 cases of RIP diagnosed in our hospital from April 2005 to April 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP),and patients with suspected sphincter of Oddi dysfunction received manometry.According to the clinical and ERCP manifestations,the etiologies of RIP were determined and individualized endoscopic treatment was applied.The patients were followed-up postoperatively about the improvement of abdominal pain and recurrence of RIP.ResuItsFifty-eight patients (29 males,29 females) were suffered from acute pancreatitis from 3 to more than 10 times.The etiologies were as follows:29 cases of biliary microlithiasis,19 case of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction ( 16 cases of pancreatic type,3 cases of mixed type),4 cases of anomalous arrangement of the pancreaticobiliary duct,and 6 cases of normal manifestations at ERCP.Biliary sphincterotomy alone was performed in 33 patients,while both biliary and pancreatic sphincterotomy was performed in 8 patients,and pancreatic sphincterotomy alone was performed in 17 patients,after sphincterotomy,pancreatic stent insertion was performed in 24 patients.The follow-up data was obtained from 41 out of 58 patients,the follow-up period ranged from 3 ~ 67 months ( average 33 months).During this period,9(22.0% ) patients suffered from RIP,and the treatment efficiency was 78%.ConclusionsBiliary microlithiasis and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction are the main causes of RIP.Drink could induce RIP.ERCP has definite treatment efficacy for RIP.
