Objective To evaluate the endoscopic managements of acute cholangitis of severe type (ACST) accompanied with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Methods A total of 122 ACST patients accompanied with MODS from January 2000 to October 2008 underwent endoscopic treatment in two time periods. In critical phase, emergent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) plus en-doscopic naso-biliary drainage (ENBD) were performed to correct critical situation of the patients. After sta-bilization, endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) plus stone removal, EST plus stent placement, or laparoscopy was performed according to the causes of ACST. Results Emergent endoscopic managements succeeded in all patients of critical phase. At third day post-operation, a reduction in white blood cell count, serum total bilirubin, body temperature, and rate of patients with shock, mental symptoms and purulent bile juice was a-chieved. Recovery rate of dysfunction organs was 60.2% at one week after emergent procedure, and 82. 6% at 2 weeks post-operation. Selective EST plus stone removal was performed in 36 patients with a success rate n one session at 91.7%. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 85 patients with a success rate of 95.3%. Stent was placed in 16 patients with an effective rate of 81.3% at 3 months post the procedure. No severe complication or death occurred during the whole therapeutic course. The 6-month survival rate of 10 cancer cases was 70%. Conclusion Therapeutic ERCP plus ENBD is the first choice for acute severe cholangitis accompanied with MODS, while EST plus biliary lithotomy, or EST plus stent placement, or com-bined laparoscopy are ideal methods for subsequent treatment.

Objective To observe the impact of the five-emotion restrictive therapy on coronary heart disease. Methods109 hospitalized patients with coronary heart disease were randomly divided into a experimental of 56 patients and a control group of 53 patients according to length of stay. The control group was treated with the conventional therapy; the experimental group was imposed five-emotion restrictive psychological intervention on the basis of conventional therapy. The investigation was done using self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS) on 1 day after admission and ld before discharge respectively. SAS and SDS scores were surveyed. At the same time Holter monitoring and normal ECG test were compared. Results Compared with control group, the experimental group 1 d before discharge of the SAS and SDS scores were (41.9±7.4) and (38.6±8.4), and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01) . The total effective rate of Holter monitoring and normal ECG was 64.15％ and 92.85％ in the control and experimental group, and the difference was significant (P＜0.01) . ConclusionThe pathological seven emotions have a certain affection on the incidence of coronary heart disease, treatment and prognosis of the course. Five-emotion restrictive psychological intervention can adjust timely psychological state of patients, eliminate negative emotions, and significantly help the incidence, treatment and prognosis of the disease.

Objective To investigate the characters of morphology change and protein expres-sion in progressed renal cell carcinoma after the treatment of sorafinib. Methods Clinical data of 2 cases with progressed renal cell carcinoma treated with sorafenib were collected. The HE slices were reviewed. Immunochemistry was used to detect the expression of Vimentin, AE1/AE3, CK7, CK8, CK18, CD10, VEGF, VEGFR2, p53 and Ki-67 levels. Results There was no difference in patho-logic type between before and after the therapy of sorafenib. Both of the 2 cases were showed degener-ation in tumor cell in different degree with fibrosis and necrosis. The expression of renal cell carcinoma related antigens (Vimentin, AE1/AE3, CK7, CK8, CK18 and CD10) had no difference before and af-ter the treatment of sorafinib. The expressions of VEGF, VEGFR2, p53 and Ki-67 were increased, and the expression of Bcl-2 was decreased after the therapy of sorafinib. Conclusions There may be some morphologie differences between the metastatic tumor or the recurrent tumor and primary tumor because of the treatment of sorafenib. However the pathologic type is the same before and after the treatment of sorafenib. The main differences are the degeneration of the tumor cell and fibrosis after the treatment of sorafenib. The expression changes of VEGF and VEGFR2 may be related to the sor-afenib application.

Objective To investigate the repair and protective effect of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on liver and bile duct after cardiac death in pig.Methods Eight pigs were purchased and cardiac arrest was induced by the administration of 1 g KCL intravenously,followed by 30 min cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to standard guideline.Cannulas were placed through inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta,and then connected to ECMO extracorporeal circulation pipes.ECMO was performed for 4 h.Circulation flow rate of hepatic artery and bile production were monitored and recorded.Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),γ-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT) and direct bilirubin (DBIL) in bile were detected.Transaminase,tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-1β (IL-13),hyaluronic acid (HA),endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO) in serum were detected.Pathological change was observed by HE staining under optical microscope and cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL.Results There was no bile production after cardiac death,which increased to 80％ of the baseline after 4h of ECMO.In addition,γ-GT,LDH and DBIL content in bile was (23.3 ± 11.8) IU/L,(15.9 ± 3.3) IU/L and (72.3 ± 21.4) mmol/ L,and IL-1,TNF-α and HA content in serum was (117.6 ± 39.0) ng/L,(120.4 ± 16.5) ng/L and (63.7 ± 4.4) ng/L,respectively,and no statistically significant differences were observed when compared with the baseline (all P ＞ 0.05).ET-1 content was (4.9 ± 1.3) ng/L and NO content was (135.3 ± 16.7)mmol/L in serum,which was statistically increased (both P ＜ 0.05).Pathological changes of liver and bile duct were significantly alleviated.Conclusion ECMO could exert protective effect on liver and bile duct after cardiac death.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between 25-(OH) vitamin D [25-(OH) D] level and peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods Eighty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in this cross-sectional study,including 37 subjects with and 43 without diabetic neuropathy.Anthropometric data was collected and serum levels of 25-(OH) D,HbA1c,blood lipid,and hepatic and renal functions were determined in all patients.Results Serum 25-(OH) D level was significantly lower in patients with diabetic neuropathy compared to those without neuropathy [(12.73 ± 4.68 vs 17.56 ± 5.28) ng/ml,P＜0.01].Logistic regressions demonstrated that vitamin D level was associated with diabetic neuropathy (OR=1.222,95％ CI 1.095-1.364).Conclusions Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.25-(OH) D level seems to be an independent risk factor of diabetic neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Dengzhan Shengmai capsule, as a compound Chinese patent medicine, consists of four herbs: Herba Erigerontis, Ginseng, Ophiopogon, and Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus, and contains significant components of flavonoids, lignans, saponins, and organic acids. It is widely used clinically to treat cerebrovascular diseases such as chronic cerebral hypoperfusion and dementia with remarkable efficacy. This study proposes a research strategy for multi-component traditional Chinese medicine metabolites based on prediction databases and unfolds the analysis using Dengzhan Shengmai capsule as an example. Using the UPLC-Q-TOF/MS method, the analytical method was established and detected biological samples such as urine, feces, and bile of rats before and after administration based on the prediction of theoretical metabolites of Dengzhan Shengmai capsule. The possible secondary fragment ion information of metabolites was identified by comparing the detected results with prediction databases. The metabolites were identified based on the archetypal component mass spectrometric cleavage law and multistage mass spectrometric data. 51 metabolites, mainly flavonoid, organic acid, and lignan constituents, were finally identified from rat biosamples based on 306 theoretical metabolites of Dengzhan Shengmai capsule. This study provides a new strategy for the identification of metabolites in vivo and the analysis of metabolic pathways of TCM. The study complied with the procedures established by the Animal Experiment Ethics Committee of the Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and passed the animal experiment ethics examine (No. 00003645).

Objective To investigate the optimal time of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on repairing Maastricht Ⅱ pig liver with warm ischemia injury for 30 min.Method Thirty-six miniature pigs were randomized to ECMO 2-h group,ECMO 4-h group and ECMO 6-h group,12 pigs per group,6 donors and 6 recipients.Cardiac arrest was induced by administration of 1 g KCl intravenously,followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for 30 min according to the standard guideline.Cannulas was placed through inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta,then connected to ECMO extracorporeal circulation pipes.Transaminase,circulation flow rate of portal vein and hepatic artery and arterial blood gas were monitored and recorded.The hepatic tissues were cut into sections for pathological observation by HE stain under a light microscope.Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and apoptotic index was calculated.The liver was stored in cold UW for 2 h after the ECMO circulation,then orthotopic liver transplantation without veno-venous bypass was performed.The levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were measured in the peripheral blood for 5 days after the operation.Result With the increase of the running time of ECMO,transaminase and lactate levels were decreased continuously.Circulation flow rate of portal vein and hepatic artery in ECMO 6-h group was significantly lower than that in the other two groups (P＜0.05).Pathological change in ECMO 4-h group was milder than the rest two groups.Apoptosis index in ECMO 2-h,4-h and 6-h groups was (40.20 ± 7.22)％,(18.60 ± 4.04)％ and (29.25 ± 5.98) ％,respectively.The 5-day suvival rate in ECMO 2-h,4-h and 6-h groups was 83％,100％ and 83％,respectively.The transaminase level in ECMO 4-h group at 5th day after the operation was lower than in ECMO 2-h group and 6-h group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The optimal time of ECMO on repairing Maastricht Ⅱ liver was 4 h.The effect of restoration is not ideal when circulation time is not enough.Liver function and liver cell viability decline beyond 4 h.

Objective To explore the role of ERK1/2 in the central pathogenesis of migraine.Methods Healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:normal group (group C),sham operation group(group C),migraine model group(group M),DMSO group (group D)and PD-98059group (PD group),with 12 rats in each group.The extracellular discharge frequency in the spinal trigeminal nucleus was recorded and ERK1/2 phosphorylation was tested.Results (1) The percentage of extracellular discharge frequency change:Two hours after treatment,the percentage of discharge frequency change was (325.9±47.32)％.The percentage of extracellula discharge frequency change in group M (325.9±47.3)％ was higher than that in group N (100.0± 0.0) ％ and group C(107.3± 16.4)％.There was no significant difference in the percentage of discharge frequency change between group D(319.3±42.5) ％ and group M (325.9±47.3) ％.The percentage of discharge frequency change in group PD(218.5±31.7)％ was lower than that in group M(325.9±47.3)％ and group D(319.3± 42.5)％.(2) ERK1/2 phosphorylation:the ERK1/2 phosphorylation in group M and group D was higher than that in group N and group C.There was no significant difference in ERK1/2 phosphorylation between group D and group M.The ERK1/2 phosphorylation in group PD was lower than the other four groups.Conclusion During the process of central sensitization to migraine,neuronal excitability and ERK1/2 phosphorylation were increased.ERK1/2 inhibitor (PD98059) reduced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and neuronal excitability.These indicated that ERK1/2 may play a role in central sensitization of migraine in rats.
