Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of structured triglycerides in parenteral nutrition in elderly patients with acute biliary tract infection.Methods 62 elderly patients with acute biliary tract infection under conservative therapy were randomly divided into structured triglycerides (ST) group and medium-chain triglycerides plus long-chain triglycerides (MCT/LCT) group.Patients underwent parenteral nutrition for 5 days.Levels of hepatic enzymes,blood triglycerides,nitrogen balance,fasting blood insulin and glucose were compared between the two groups after 5 days of parenteral nutrition.Results There were no significant differences in levels of hepatic enzymes,blood triglycerides and fasting blood glucose between ST group and MCT/LCT group.Plasma total bilirubin (T-Bill) levels were increased in the two groups,and T-Bill level dropped faster in the ST group than in the MCT/LCT group after 7 days of parenteral nutrition(P< 0.05).The difference in total cholesterol level dropping was significant between ST group and MCT/ LCT group (P<0.05).The cumulative nitrogen balance for 5 days had significant difference between ST and MCT/LCT groups [(4.7-±-2.2) g vs.(2.8±0.7) g,P<0.05].STG group versus MCT/LCT group had less fluctuation of fasting blood insulin level after 1,4 and 7 days of parenteral nutrition.Conclusions In the acute phase of biliary tract infection in elderly patients,ST-based parenteral nutrition can provide energy and help maintain nitrogen balance,with a little fluctuation of fasting blood insulin level.Short-term nutritional support may have better tolerance in the liver and has little effect on the change of hepatic enzymes.

Objective To investigate the significance of anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin(MCV)an- tibody in rheumatoid arthritis(RA)and study the correlation among anti-CCP,other antoantibodies and clinical manifestations of RA.Methods Anti-MCV antibody was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)in 166 serum samples including 74 from RA(18 cases with early RA and 56 cases with late RA),50 from non-RA rheumatic diseases and 42 cases of healthy blood donors.At the same time,other antuoantibod- ies were detected by different techniques,and their clinical meaning was investigated with the corresponding clinical data.Results Anti-MCV was found in 78%(58/74)of RA.The sensitivity and specificity of Anti- MCV in RA were 78% and 95%.The positive and negative predictive value was 97% and 71%.The average cut off concentration of Anti-MCV was(552?380)U/ml in RA,(162?63)U/ml in non-RA and(63?46)U/ml in healthy control.Anti-MCV was strongly correlated to anti-CCP(r=0.502,P=0.000),then AKA(r=0.408)anti APF(r=0.369).No differences was found between Anti-MCV and other clinical/laboratory parameters(P>0.05). Conclusion Anti-MCV antibody may be a valuable diagnostic parameter for RA.Anti-MCV is more strongly correlated to anti-CCP than APE and AKA.It may not relate to disease activity and/or severity.

To investigate the influence factors and effects of metal or dissolving microneedles on the formation and healing of skin microchannels, the pencil-shaped or conical stainless steel microneedles with different lengths, tip to tip space and base area, and the pencil-shaped dissolving microneedles with different tip to tip space were used. The microneedles were applied to the skin of epilatory mice and rats, and the effects of various microneedle parameters, application parameters, and animals on the microchannels were explored by the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and methylene blue staining. Visually observe the skin local irritation caused by the microneedles. The animal experiments were approved by the Animal Experiments Welfare and Ethical Committee of Zhejiang University of Technology. The application time of the microneedle should be maintained at 30 s or more. When the insertion forces were 2, 4, 8 N, and the TEWL initial values of the formed microchannels were 12.9, 33.0, 40.4 g·m-2·h-1, respectively. When the length of metal microneedle were 400, 600, 800 μm, and the TEWL initial values of the formed microchannels were 37.1, 40.4, 49.5 g·m-2·h-1, respectively. When the tip to tip space of metal microneedle were 400, 600, 800 μm, and the TEWL initial values of the formed microchannels were 33.2, 40.4, 55.8 g·m-2·h-1, respectively. When the base area of metal microneedle were 0.16, 0.35, 0.62 cm2, and the TEWL initial values of the formed microchannels were 35.1, 40.4, 67.1 g·m-2·h-1, respectively. The effects of conical and pencil-shaped microneedles are similar. When the tip to tip space of pencil shaped dissolving microneedle were 400, 600, 800 μm, and the TEWL initial values of the formed microchannels were 49.8, 60.5, 70.5 g·m-2·h-1, respectively. The TEWL baseline values of animal skins of different genders and series are different, but the tendency of microchannels formation and closure is similar. Visual inspection revealed that the slight erythema caused by the microneedles subsided within 24 h. Microneedles of different parameters have different effects on microchannels. The microchannels closed within 24 or 48 h, and the skin local irritation caused by microneedle was mild.
