Objective To study the effects of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis on serum interleukin 1? (IL-1?) and tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF-?) levels in liver ischemic preconditioning (IP) in rats. Methods 169 rats were randomly divided into ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) group, IP group,L-arginine plus IP (L-Arg+IP) group and sham operation group (S group). The concentrations of plasma NO, serum IL-1? and TNF-? were measured at 2h, 24h and 1 week after models were set up. Results ⑴ Plasma NO concentrations: In group IP and group L-Arg+IP,the NO concentration at all the 3 time points were significantly higher than those in group S (P0 05). Conclusions Liver ischemic preconditioning could down-regulate the levels of blood IL-1? and TNF-?, which may relate to the increase of NO synthesis. The increase of NO synthesis could enlarge this down-regulation effect, and further enhance the protective effect of IP on the liver I/R injury.

Objective To investigate the influence of difference ileocecal junction length on the efficacy of laparoscopic subtotal colectomy combined with antiperistaltic cecorectal anastomosis (LSCACRA) in treatment of slow transit constipation (STC). Methods Ninety- two STC patients undergoing LSCACRA were divided into 2 groups by random digits table method:10-15 cm group (10-15 cm ascending colon preserved above ileocecal junction, 46 cases) and 2-3 cm group (2-3 cm ascending colon preserved above ileocecal junction ,46 cases). All the patients were followed up for 24 months, and the Wexner incontinence score (WIS), ileocecal junction emptying time of barium enema, Wexner constipation score (WCS), abdominal pain intensity score (NRS), gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI), abdominal pain frequency score and abdominal bloating frequency score were compared between 2 groups. Results All the patients successfully completed LSCACRA, with no conversion to open surgery and death occurred. There were no statistical differences in amount of bleeding, operative time, hospitalization time, exhaust time, incidences of postoperative intestinal obstruction and pulmonary infection, defecation time, WIS and abdominal bloating frequency score between 2 groups (P>0.05). The WCS, GIQLI, NRS and abdominal pain frequency scores 6, 12 and 24 months after operation in 2-3 cm group were significantly better than those in 10 - 15 cm group, WCS: (1.7 ± 1.3) scores vs. (4.2 ± 2.3) scores, (1.7 ± 1.1) scores vs. (4.1 ± 1.9) scores, (1.2 ± 0.5) scores vs. (3.9 ± 2.5) scores;GIQLI:(116.8 ± 6.2) scores vs. (98.5 ± 14.7) scores, (122.9 ± 7.5) scores vs. (104.7 ± 16.5) scores, (124.3 ± 5.9) scores vs. (108.3 ± 15.1) scores; NRS: (1.3 ± 0.5) scores vs. (2.5 ± 1.7) scores, (0.9 ± 0.3) scores vs. (2.3 ± 1.4) scores, (0.8 ± 0.3) scores vs. (2.2 ± 1.5) scores;abdominal pain frequency score:(0.9 ± 0.3) scores vs. (1.6 ± 1.2) scores, (0.7 ± 0.3) scores vs. (1.4 ± 1.1) scores, (0.7 ± 0.2) scores vs. (1.2 ± 1.0) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The ileocecal junction emptying time of barium enema 24 months after operation in 2-3 cm group was significantly shorter than that in 10-15 cm group: (17.6 ± 8.4) h vs. (21.3 ± 10.8) h, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusions STC patients with LSCACRA is safe and effective. The shorter length of ascending colon preserved above ileocecal junction can improve the efficacy of LSCACRA in the treatment of STC and the prognosis of patients. The 2-3 cm length of ascending colon preserved above the ileocecal junction should be recommended.

Objective To search specific biomarkers of pathogenic bacteria in patients with sepsis so as to guide early using rationally antibiotic treatment.Methods Prospective survey of 147 patients with sepsis in ICU was carried out from Jan 2012 to Mar 2015.When patients blood culture was positive, clinical data including age, gender, vital signs, blood and, urine routine examination, DIC, blood biochemistry, c-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), microbial detection, etc were recorded.Cultured blood samples were from central venous catheter and peripheral vessel.ELISA method was employed to detect soluble toll-like receptor 2 ( sTLR2 ) and interleukin-8 ( IL-8 ) , and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ( APACHEⅡ score ) was calculated.The chi-square test and analysis of variance were performed where necessary.Receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curves were used to calculate cut-points ( CP ) and area under the curve ( AUC) .Results According to the results of blood culture, patients were divided into three groups:GP group [ gram-positive bacteria ( G+) group];GN group [ gram-negative bacteria ( G-) group];FG group ( fungi group) .There were no significantly statistical differences in age, APACHEⅡ score, vital signs and markers of inflammation among three groups (P>0.05).Gram negative pathogenic bacterium was the most common microbe.Compared with GN group, the level of sTLR2 in the GP group was obviously higher ( P=0.000); but there was no significant difference in sTLR2 level between GP group and FG group (P=0.187). The amount of (1, 3) -beta glucan in the FG group was significantly higher than that in the GP group ( P=0.000).The sTLR2 level in FG group was obviously higher than that in the GN group (P=0.000).There were no significantly statistical differences in PCT, CRP and IL-8 among the three groups (P>0.05).For the diagnosis of gram negative bacteria infection, sTLR2 area under the curve was 0.768, and the sensitivity and specificity were 88.90%and 59.60%, respectively and the best cut-off point was 8.083 pg/mL.Namely, the diagnosis of gram negative bacteria infection was less likely, when level of sTLR2 was higher than 8.083 pg/mL.The markers of PCT, CRP, (1, 3) -beta glucan and IL-8 were less valuable for the diagnosis of Gram negative bacteria infection because the area under the curve was less than 0.5.Conclusions The combination of inflammatory indicators such as sTLR2 and (1, 3) -beta glucan etc, can imply the kind of pathogenic microorganisms partly.

Breast cancer is called "Ruyan" in literature of traditional Chinese medicine. We synthesized the ancient and contemporary discussions and raised the theory that "Duxie" (poisonous pathogenic factor) is the etiological factor and pathologic product through the whole course of breast cancer. "Liuyin Fudu" (latent poison of six exogenous pathogenic factors) and "Qiqing Yudu" (stagnant poison of seven emotions) are the main etiological factors affecting the breast cancer occurrence. "Aidu Neisheng" (internal product of cancer poison) is the essential change in breast cancer occurrence. "Tandu Yujie" (stagnation of phlegm, poison and blood stasis) is the essential pathogenesis of the breast cancer's development. "Yudu Weiqing" (vestigial poison) is the main pathogenesis of breast cancer after operation. "Yudu Pangcuan" (vestigial poison invasion elsewhere) is the key pathogenesis of recurrence and metastasis after operation. "Sanjie Jiedu" (dispersing accumulation and detoxification) is an important therapeutic principle in breast cancer's treatment after operation. The "Tandu Yujie" pathogenesis theory and "Sanjie Jiedu" therapeutic principle developed the theory about breast cancer in traditional Chinese medicine, and have some clinical application value.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of Ruyiping, a traditional Chinese compound herbal medicine composed of 5 Chinese herbs for removing toxic materials and dissipating nodules from Runing II, another traditional Chinese compound herbal medicine for treating breast cancer, in preventing recidivation and metastasis in breast cancer patients after operation. METHODS: Eighty patients with breast cancer after operation were randomly divided into Ruyiping group and Runing II group, and prescribed Ruyiping and Runing II on the basis of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and endocrine therapy respectively for two years. RESULTS: There were two patients with metastasis and three patients lost to follow-up in Ruyiping group and three and two in Runing II group. The recidivation and metastasis rates were 5.41% and 7.89% respectively. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The difference of disease-free survival time between the two groups was also not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: The effect of Ruyiping in preventing recidivation and metastasis is similar to that of Runing II. Ruyiping is the essential component of Runing II for preventing recidivation and metastasis. The result provides some clinical evidences for the theory that "Yudu Pangcuan" (vestigial poison invasion elsewhere) is the essential pathogenesis of breast cancer's recidivation and metastasis and the utilization of "Sanjie Jiedu" (dispersing accumulation and detoxification) is the therapeutic principle in preventing recidivation and metastasis after operation.
