Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal cocoon. Methods This article retrospectively summarized clinical data of 6 cases of abdominal cocoon. Results All the 6 cases of abdominal cocoon were misdiagnosed preoperatively: 5 cases were diagnosed as having intestinal obstruction and 1 case,abdominal mass.Partial or total capsule resection was adopted in all the 6 cases,1 of which simultaneously underwent intestinal arrangement. Conclusions Abdominal cocoon is not specific,which is difficult to diagnose preoperatively.Upper digestive tract radiography,B-ultrasonography and CT scanning help to make the diagnosis.Partial or total capsule resection,intestinal arrangement,intestinal resection and release for intestinal adhesion are usually adopted as the treatment.

Objective To study the effect of human G-coupled protein kinase 4(GRK4) A142V overexpression on angiotensin Ⅱ1 type(AT1 ) receptor and its-mediated proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cells .Methods We constructed a lentiviral vec-tor carrying human GRK4-EGFP gene and observed its expression in A10 cells .Expression of AT1 receptor were determined by im-munoblotting ,GRK4 activity were checked by spectrophotometry ;the linkage between GRK4 and AT1 receptor were determined by co-immunoprecipitation .[3 H] thymidine incorporation was used to detect changes of cell proliferation .Results As compared with the control cells ,A142V-transfected cells had higher GRK4 activity and higher AT1 receptor expression ;there was linkage between GRK4 and AT1 receptor ,the co-immunoprecipitation levels were lower in A142V cells .The basal levels of VSMC proliferation was higher in A142V cells ,Ang Ⅱ increased VSMC proliferation to a greater extent in A 142V cells .Conclusion GRK4 A142V ,via in-creasing GRK4 activity ,increases AT1 receptor expression and function in vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation .
