Objective Aims To investigate the dynamic changes of multi-organ functional indices in esophageal carcinoma patients during peri-operation period at flatland and moderate high altitude. Methods 44 cases of esophageal carcinoma scheduled to receive gastroesophagostomy were categorized semi-randomly into three groups: Flatland control group (FCG, n=8), moderate altitude lung protection group (MPG, n=16), moderate altitude control group (MCG, n=20). The cases in FCG and MCG underwent routine pulmonary function examination and respiratory tract preparation peri-operatively. Besides the above routine treatment, the cases in MTG received administration of Rahdiola compound capsules preoperatively, with 2 pills a day. Blood-gas and biochemical indices of multi-organs were recorded in the three groups preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 5 days postoperatively respectively. The patients' systematic reaction, the changing trend of the indices reflecting organs function and the postoperative complication were observed. Results The blood-gas parameters were different significantly both preoperatively and postoperatively between the three groups. While other indices reflecting the organs function were not different significantly between the three groups before the operation, but at 1, 3, 5 days postoperatively, the indices in MCG and MPG were significantly different with that in FCG (P

Objective To learn the correlation between thyroid function and arteriosclerosis in elderly popu-lation,and to provide research data for early clinical intervention.Methods 7 1 elderly patients with hypothyroidism were selected as A group,76 elderly patients with subclinical hypothyroidism were selected as B group,70 healthy elderly cases were selected as C group.Triiodothyronine (FT3 ),tetraiodothyronine (FT4 ),thyrotrophin (TSH ), triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC ),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL -C ),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),C reactive protein (CRP)levels of the three groups were detected.Carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT)was examined by color Doppler ultrasonography.Results FT4 levels of A group,B group were (5.25 ±4.17)pmol/L,(10.74 ±5.02)pmol/L respectively,which were lower than (18.53 ±6.38)pmol/L of C group.TSH levels of A group,B group were (16.45 ±6.96)mU/L,(6.25 ±3.84)mU/L respectively,which were higher than (3.37 ±1.13)mU/L of C group (t=14.650,8.232,15.522,6.037,all P<0.05).FT4 level of A group was lower than that of B group,TSH level of A group was higher than B group (t=7.185,11.097,P<0.05).TC, LDL-C levels of A group,B group were (5.96 ±1.01)mmol/L,(4.15 ±1.69)mmol/L,(5.64 ±0.94)mmol/L, (3.64 ±1.17)mmol/L respectively,which were higher than those of C group [(5.17 ±1.12)mmol/L,(3.20 ± 1.06)mmol/L](t=4.400,2.754,3.992,2.374,all P<0.05).TC,LDL-C levels of A group were higher than B group (t=1.990,2.139,all P<0.05).CIMT,CRP levels of A group,B group were (0.90 ±0.23)mm,(6.20 ± 1.31)mg/L,(0.79 ±0.17)mm,(4.55 ±1.05)mg/L respectively,which were higher than those of C group [(0.68 ±0.11)mm,(3.12 ±0.88)mg/L](t=7.229,4.599,16.364,8.878,all P<0.05).CIMT,CRP levels of A group were higher than B group (t=3.312,8.453,all P<0.05 ).CIMT and TSH,LDL -C,CRP levels were positively correlated (r=0.789,0.647,0.583,all P<0.05),CIMT and FT4 levels were negatively correlated (r=-0.636,P<0.05 ).Conclusion Hypothyroidism,subclinical hypothyroidism are associated with atherosclerosis in elderly population,and elderly patients with hypothyroidism,subclinical hypothyroidism are at high risk of atherosclerosis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of capsule endoscopy(CE)followed by a directed double-balloon enteroscopy(DBE)in diagnosis of patients with suspected small bowel disease.Methods Two hundred and ninety-nine consecutive patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding or other various indications for CE examination were analyzed.DBE was recommended after negative or indeterminate evaluation on CE.The diagnostic and follow-up data were collected and analyzed.Resails A total of 296 patients completed CE examination.Of whorn,138(46.6%)cases had positive findings,68(23.0%)cases were suspected for small bowel disease and 90(30.4%)cases had negative finding,Those who were suspected(45 cases)and negative(7 cases)for CE examination were performed DBE examination and small bowel lesions were found in 31 cases and 1 case,respectively.The false-negative diagnosis was probably made by DBE in 8 patients,whereas no false-positive case was found by DBE.The false-negative diagnosis was probably made by CE in 2 patients,whereas 8 false-positive cases were found by CE.With the results of CE examination,lesions were found by only one-side procedure of DBE in 90.3%(28/31)of patients.The results that followed up for median 17 months indicated that 93.5% of patients with positive findings by DBE were received optimal therapy.Both CE and DBE procedures were well tolerated and no severe complications occurred.Conclusions The detection rate of sinall bowel lesions with CE was high,whereas the indetermination of CE findings was also significant.Majority of suspected findings by CE may be further confirmed by DBE.The strategy that start with CE and followed by DBE may increase diagnostic yield in patients with suspected small bowel disease and improve the prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the guiding role of capsule endoscopy (CE) in choosing the access route of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) for small bowel diseases. Methods Patients with complete CE and with small bowel diseases confirmed by DBE were enrolled. The lesion location found on CE was represented by the time index, which was the ratio of access time from pylorus to lesion over access time from pylorus to ileocecal valve. Based on our previous retrospective evaluation, oral approach was selected when the index was ≤0. 6, otherwise the anal access would be chosen. Accuracy of time index predicting DBE access rout was evaluated. Results Data of 60 patients undergoing both CE and DBE were evaluated. All lesions detected by CE were confirmed by DBE, with 41 via oral route and 19 via anus. Based on the time index with threshold of 0.6, the accuracy of selecting the insertion route of DBE was 100%. Conclusion DBE is an effective approach to confirm CE results. In patients with complete small bowel investigation by CE, the insertion route for DBE can be reliably indicated with time index based on the CE results.

Objective To determine the detection rate of duodenal papilla and the diagnostic rate of small bowel diseases by capsule endoscopy(CE)and its possible influencing factors.Methods A total of 369 cases with suspected small bowel disease who had undergone CE were retrospectively reviewed. The de- tection rate of duodenal papilla and that of small bowel disease were calculated respectively. The detection rate of duodenal papilla in another 369 patients having received gastroscopy was also counted in order to findout the miss detection rate of forward-viewing endoscopy. The CE findings were reviewed at the rate of 1 im-age and 15 images per second by hand-motion respectively. The detection rate of duodenal papilla was calcu-lated,and the number of frames showing duodenal papilla was counted. Differences of detection rate of duo-denal papilla were also analyzed by different age and gender groups. In addition,the potential difference in detection rate of duodenal papilla between different bowel preparations before CE of two different reviewing approaches was also investigated respectively. Results The miss detection rate of duodenal papilla with for-ward-viewing gastroscopy was 22. 0%. The detection rate of duodenal papilla reviewed at the rate of 1 image by hand-motion,where less frames were needed to visualize duodenal papilla(3. 7vs7. 0),was significantly higher than that at the rate of 15 images per second(32. 2%vs13. 6%,P=0. 001). The diagnostic rate of small bowel diseases was also significantly higher than that of duodenal papilla by CE(67. 2%vs32. 2%,P=0. 000). Age and gender were not significantly correlated with the detection rate of duodenal papilla. No significant correlation was found between various kinds of bowel preparation before CE at different viewing rate and the detection rate of duodenal papilla. Conclusion It iS relatively difficult to identify duodenal pa- pilla by CE,as they are peculiarly positioned in anatomy,so the detection of duodenal papilla does not nec- essarily represent the detection rate of small bowel diseases. The major factors that influencing the detection of duodenal papilla by CE include local anatomy,viewing rate and technical limitations of CE.

AIM: To investigate the effect of single immunoglobin IL-1 receptor related protein (SIGIRR) on damage of alveolar epithelial cells in acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide. METHODS: The acute alveolar epithelial cell injury model was constructed by stimulation of A549 cells with LPS. In order to over-express SIGIRR, the A549 cells were transferred with eukaryotic expression vector containing full length SIGIRR cDNA. The transcriptional activity of NF-κB was measured by dual-luciferase reporter assay system. The concentrations of IL-1β, TNF- α and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. The levels of these inflammatory factors between the transfected cells and untransfected cells were compared. RESULTS: The over-expression of SIGIRR inhibited the transcriptional activity of NF-κB. The increases in IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations in alveolar epithelial cells induced by LPS were observed. CONCLUSION: SIGIRR in alveolar epithelial cells inhibits TLR4 signals triggered by LPS and attenuates the inflammatory reactions in alveolar epithelial cells, which plays a protective role against the acute damage of the alveolar epithelial cells.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of immunofecal occult blood test in screening of colorectal cancer and its precancerous lesions in a large series of health checkup population. Methods Colorectal cancer and its precancerous lesions in 5919 subjects undergoing health checkup in our hospital were screened out by using immunofecal occult blood test from July 2006 to June 2007; positive cases with the test were subjected to colorectal endoscopy or X-ray barium enema examination. Relevant results were analyzed in combination with clinical and pathological data. Results Positive result was obtained in 314 out of the 5919 subjects undergoing health checkup with immunofecal occult blood test; the positive rate was 5.30%. 241 cases(76.75% )of them accepted colorectal endoscopic examination and 23 cases(7.32%) accepted X-ray barium enema examination. The total follow up rate was 84.08% with 50 cases out of contact. After excluding the cases out of cantact, 16 cases of colorectal cancer were found morbidity 2.37‰ including 8(50.00% )cases of Dukes A,7 cases (43.75%)of Dukes B and 1 case of Dukes C (6 .25%).The detection rate of colorectal cancer with postive imunofecal occult blood test was 6.06% (16/264). 94 cases (16.01‰) of adenomatous polyps were found including 55 cases (58.51%) of tubular adenoma, 23 cases (24.47% )of villiform- tubular adenoma and 16 cases(17.02%) of villfform adenoma. Among these cases 55 (58.51%)were solitary and 39(41.49%) multiple. In addition, 6 cases of ulcerative colitis in active phase were found. Altogether 116 (43.94%)of the 264 cases with positive immunofecal blood test and not out of contact were found to have colorectal cancer or its precancerous lesions. Conclusion Immunofecal occult blood test is suitable for screening of colorectal cancer and its precancerous lesions in large series of population. Colorectal cancer and its precancerous lesions may be found in relatively early phase and be eradicated in curable stage, thus to reduce the morbidity and mortality.

Objective CA125 has been proved to be closely related to peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer.This study aimed to screen and identify a novel ssDNA aptamer targeting the extracellular domain of Mucin16. Methods Using capillary elec-trophoresis, we screened the aptamers targeting the synthetic peptide of the extracellular domain of Mucin16 and quantitatively deter-mined the Kd value of each cycle and the affinity of the aptamers for the synthetic peptide by CE-SELEX.Then we evaluated the ability of the obtained aptamers to target cancer cells using confocal laser imaging. Results After five cycles of screening, sequencing, af-finity determination, we obtained an ssDNA aptamer targeting the extracellular domain of Mucin16, with a Kd value of 122.7 nm and visible green fluorescent signals on the cell membrane of the human ovarian cancer cell line expressing Mucin16, but not on that of the normal hepatocytes not expressing Mucin16.This confirmed the binding ability of the aptamer to the extracellular domain of Mucin16. Conclusion A novel aptamer targeting the synthetic peptide of the extracellular domain of Mucin16 was successfully obtained by capil-lary electrophoresis, which could be used as a new agent in the diagnosis and treatment of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer.
