Objective To investigate the effect of leptin on transcription factor nuclear-κB (NF-κB) activity of pancreatic tissue and blood inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α,IL-1β) in severe acute pancreatitis. Methods Thirty-six rats were randomly divided into three groups, including sham group (group A, n = 12), AP model group(group B, n = 12) and Leptin treatment group (group C, n = 12). SAP was induced by intraductal injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct. Exogenous leptin was injected I. P. Fifteen minutes later. The concentration of serum amylase, leptin, TNF-α, IL-1βwere measured by radioimmunoassay 6 hours later. NF-κB activity of the pancreatic tissue were measured by immunohistochemistry. The changes of pathology of the pancreas were observed. Results The levels of serum amylase, cytokine TNF-αand IL-1βwere significantly reduced in group C, and the levels of serum leptin were significantly increased in group C. NF-κB activity in the pancreatic tissue in group B were significantly higher than that in group A. However, NF-κB activity of the pancreatic tissue in group C were significantly lower than that in group B. Furthermore, the extent of necrosis of the pancreatic tissue was re-lieved. Conclusion Exogenous leptin protected the rats pancreas against damage by sodium taurocholate. The protective effects of exoge-nous leptin were attributive to the reduction in cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β. The possible protective mechanism was that leptin decreased NF-κB activity.

BACKGROUND: The preparation and antibacterial activity of metal ionic zirconium phosphates has been systemically investigated now, but the applications are limited owing to the discoloration or the low antibacterial activity. Here we prepared new antibacterial agents of quaternized zirconium phosphates by introducing quaternary ammonium salt bactericidal agent with high-effective, broad-spectrum and low-toxic into sodium zirconium phosphate through an ion-exchange method.OBJECTIVE: To explore the component structure and antibacterial activity of quaternized zirconium phosphates.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An in vitro observational experiment was performed at Research Laboratory of Department of Chemistry, Jinan University from June to August 2009.MATERIALS: Quaternized zirconium phosphates were prepared by introducing dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride into sodium zirconium phosphate through an ion-exchange method.METHODS: The mol ratios of quaternary ammonium cations to cation exchange capacity of sodium zirconium phosphate in reaction solutions were 0.25: 1,0.5: 1, 1.0: 1, and 1.5 : 1, respectively, and four kinds of quaternized zirconium phosphates containing different contents of quaternary ammonium cations (QZrP-1, QZrP-2, QZrP-3, QZrP-4) were prepared through an ion-exchange method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The component structure and heat resistance of samples were measured by using an IR spectrometer, an elemental analyzer and a thermal analyzer, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimal bactericidal concentrations (MICs) of the samples against Escherichia coli (E. co/i) and Staphylococci aureus (S. aureus) were estimated by a tube broth method.RESULTS: Quaternized zirconium phosphates were prepared, and the quaternary ammonium cation content increased with increasing the concentration of quaternary ammonium cations in reaction solution. The mass fraction of quaternary ammonium cations of QZrP-1, QZrP-2, QZrP-3, and QZrP-4 was 3.70%, 5.00%, 6.96%, and 10.01%, respectively. The onset temperatures of the decomposition for quaternary ammonium cations in quaternized zirconium phosphates were all higher than 345 °C, and they were preferable thermal stability. The antibacterial activity was higher when the quaternary ammonium cation content of quaternized zirconium phosphates increased. For quaternized zirconium phosphates QZrP-3 containing 6.96% mass fraction of quaternary ammonium cations, showed excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus.CONCLUSION: Quaternized zirconium phosphates QZrP-3 containing 6.96% mass fraction of quaternary ammonium cations,exhibited excellent thermal stability and antibacterial activity.

Objective To summarize the clinical outcomes of pectoralis major myocutaneous flap for repairing large defects in oral and maxillofacial area after resection of malignant tumor. Methods The clinical data of 27 patients underwent resection of malignant tumor in oral and maxillofacial area and reconstructed with pectoralis major myocutaneous flap were collected in our hospital from August 1998 to January 2015. The pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps were harvested with sizes ranging from 6 cm × 4 cm to 11 cm × 9 cm. The major myocutaneous flaps were used to reconstruct the defects of oral mucosa in 26 cases, and flap was used to reconstruct the defect of facial skin in 1 case. Seventeen major myocutaneous flaps reached the neck via the subclavicular tunnel, the other 10 were transferred over the clavicle. Results After surgery, 20 flaps (74.1%) were survived completely, 6 were partial necrosis (22.2%) and one was total necrosis (3.7%). Thirteen cases showed postoperative complications (48.1%), in which 10 cases were wound infection (37.0%), including 8 patients with infection at the recipient site and 2 patients with infection at the donor site. The wound infection was found in all of 7 patients with flap necrosis. The other complications included wound dehiscence in 1 patient (3.7%), neck hematoma in 1 patient (3.7%), and lung infection in 1 patient (3.7%). Conclusion In order to avoid the flap necrosis and reduce wound infection at the recipient site, the major myocutaneous flap should be designed based on the characteristics of blood supply, and the vascular pedicle should be protected carefully in the operation.

Objective To investigate the effect of surgical treatment of adult mandibular condylar fractures (including intracapsular fracture). Methods Thirty-two patients (33 sides) with condylar fractures underwent open reduction and rigid fixation. Six patients with intracapsular condylar fractures were treated with two 18-mm positional screws through a preauricular approach. Six patients (7 sides) with condylar neck fractures were rigidly fixed by 1 mini-plate via a retromandibular transparotid approach. Twenty patients with subcondylar fractures were operated and fixed by two titanium plates using an angular approach. Results The mean follow-up period was 13.5 months, and the mean maximum mouth opening was 37.5 mm by the last visit. All patients acquired good occlusal relationship and mandibular symmetry. Seven patients (21.9%) experienced transient palsy of the branches of the facial nerve, and recovered completely after three months. One patient developed a salivary fistula, and healed after two weeks of gauze compression. No permanent deficit of any facial nerve branch was observed. No patient showed condylar head resorption. Conclusion Appropriate surgical approaches and fixation methods for different types of condylar fractures are the key factors to achieve reliable clinical results.

Objective:To quantitatively evaluate the energy loss (EL) and vortex characteristics in the left ventricle by vector flow mapping (VFM) technique in heart failure patients with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).Methods:One hundred and five patients in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from October 2016 to November 2017 with heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<50% were enrolled and divided into HFmrEF Group (LVEF40%~<50%, 56 cases) and HFrEF group (LVEF<40%, 49 cases). Another 32 healthy people at the same period were matched as control group. The EL, vortex area and circulation of isovolumic relaxation phase (IVR), rapid filling phase (RFP), atrial contraction phase (ACP), isovolumic contraction phase (IVC) and rapid ejection phase (REP) in the left ventricle was measured by VFM technique.Results:The EL in HFmrEF group and HFrEF group was lower than that in the control group. In ACP, the EL was gradually decreased among the control group, HFmrEF group and HFrEF group( P<0.05). In ACP, the vortex area and circulation was larger in heart failure patients than those in the control group, and gradually increased from control group, to HFrEF group( P<0.05). Positive correlation between EL and E/e ′ was evidenced in the RFP ( r=0.524, P< 0.001). While in ACP, there was a positive correlation between EL and A peak ( r=0.492, P<0.001), and a negative correlation between EL and vortex area ( r=-0.235, P=0.040). Conclusions:VFM can be applied to evaluate the EL in left ventricle. The EL in the left ventricle of patients with HFmrEF and HFrEF is significantly lower than that in control group. El is correlated with cardiac systolic and diastolic function and vortex area.
