Objective To analyze the color Doppler ultrasonography of trauma-caused deep venous free-floating thrombus(FFT)of lower limbs,discuss the relations between sonography and the prognosis. Methods Clinical data and color Doppler ultrasound examination results of 130 cases with trauma-caused deep venous FFT of lower limbs were retrospectively analysed.Univariate analysis was conducted to identify the statistically significant factors of patients' prognosis,non-conditional logistic regression analysis was performed to analyse the independent prognostic factors of FFT.Results The non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that the position of FFT,thrombosis edge definition,floating degree and the volume of detouring blood around the thrombus were independent factors of patients'prognosis(P <0.05). The FFT prognosis of iliofemoral vein was more likely to be fixed than the FFT prognosis of popliteal vein. The FFT prognosis with blurring edges was more likely to be fixed.The more obvious the floating degree of FFT,the higher chance that the FFT prognosis is recanalized.More detouring blood flow around FFT indicated more possibilities that the prognosis could be recanalized.Conclusions The color Doppler ultrasound is able to evaluate the relations between the deep venous free-floating thrombus of lower limbs and prognosis of the patients,which is beneficial for early detection and early treatment,as well as reducing mortality and disability resulted from deep venous thrombus during the orthopaedic perioperative period.

Objective To investigate the putative relationship between peroxisome proliferators activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB in cerulein-treated pancreatic aeinar AR42J cells. Methods The AR42J cells were allocated to control group, pioglitazone group (treated with 40 μmol/L of pioglitazone), pioglitazone + cerulein group (treated with 40 μmol/L of pioglitazone+ 10~(-8) mol/L of cerulein) and pioglitazone + cerulein + PPARγ antagonist (GW9662) group (treated with 40 μmol/L of pioglitazone + 5 μmol/L of GW9662 + 10~(-8) mol/L of cerulein). Activity of NF-κB and PPARγ expression were detected 30 minuts after stimulated by cerulein with or without the presence of pioglitazone. The protein expressions of NF-κB and PPARγ, antibody to IκBα phosphorylation, the differential expression between IκB kinase (IKK)β and IκBa, the IKKβ activity as well as changes of pIκBa were examined by Western blotting. The nuclear accumulation of NF-κB (p65 and p50 subunits) was determined by immunofluorescence and Western blotting. The interaction between NF-κB p65 and IκBα was observed by immunopreeitation. Results Treatment of AR42J cells with pioglitazone attenuated cerulein induced cytosolic activity of IKK protein (1.6 : 3.7)or IκBa phosphorylation (0.9 : 1.5), strengthened the integration of IκBα and NF-κB (0.8:0.3), inhibited transcription activity of p50 and p65 NF-κB dimer and nuclear accumulation (P<0.01). Adversely, the inhibitory effect of pioglitazone on NF-κB activity induced by cerulein was almost reversed by GW9662 (P<0.05). Conclusion These findings provide evidence for the involvement of PPARγ in the activity of NF-κB in cerulein treated AR42J cells.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the prevention and treatment effect of Xiaochaihu decoction on irinotecan(CPT-11)-in-duced bloodystool in model mice with delayed diarrhea. METHODS:40 mice were randomly divided into normal control group (equal volume of normal saline),model control group(equal volume of normal saline),Xiaochaihu decoction group(1500 mg/kg, calculated by crude drug)and loperamide group(positive control,0.5333 mg/kg),ig,once a day,for 17 days. Except for normal control group,other groups were intraperitoneally injected CPT-11 to induce delayed diarrhea in 4th-10th day. Body mass changes, bloodystool rate of mice were determined,and pathological changes in large intestine and small intestine were observed. RE-SULTS:After 17 days of administration,compared with normal control group,the body mass in modeling groups was obviously declined (P<0.05),while body mass in Xiaochaihu decoction group was higher than model control group (P<0.05). In the 11th-17th day,bloodystool rate in Xiaochaihu decoction group and loperamide group were significantly lower than model control group(P<0.01),and bloodystool rate in Xiaochaihu decoction group was lower than loperamide group(P<0.05). Pathological re-sults showed,obvious diffuse necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed in mucosal epithelial cells of large intestine and small intestine in model control group,and the intestinal mucosal tissue in administration groups tended to be normal. CON-CLUSIONS:Xiaochaihu decoction can effectively reduce bloodystool rate,improve intestinal mucosa injury,and has prevention and treatment effect on CPT-11-induced bloodystool in mice,with superior effect to loperamide.
