Objective To investigate the expression of pancreatic thioredoxin-1 (TRX-1) in rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and the effect of pretreatment of melatonin on its expression. Methods Male Spraque-Dawley rats (n = 12) were randomly divided to ANP group, melatonin group, control group with 24 rats in each group. The rats in ANP group received three intraperitoneal injections of 25 ml/kg body weight 6% L-arginine at an interval of 1 h to induce ANP. The rats in melatonin group received intraperitoneal injections of 25 ml/kg body weight 6% melatonin 30 min before ANP induction; rats in ANP group and control group received intraperitoneal injections of same amount of saline. Rats were sacrificed at 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after ANP induction. The serum level of amylase was measured and the pathological evaluation of pancreatic tissues was performed. The concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in pancreatic tissues were measured. The expressions of TRX-1 protein were detected by immunohistochemistry and the expressions of TRX-1 mRNA in pancreatic tissues were determined by RT-PCR.Results In ANP group, serum level of amylase, MDA, MPO, TRX-1 mRNA and TRX-1 protein in pancreatic tissues were (3 012 ±1 425) U/L, (4.13 ± 1. 85)nmol/mg prot,(7.45 ± 1.26)nmol/mg prot, 0.68 ±0. 18, 66.8 ±8. 1, while they were (1 835±499)U/L, (3.03 ±2.12) nmol/mg prot, (5. 32 ± 1.06) nmol/mg prot, 0.50±0.09, 80. 29 ±8. 14, respectively in melatonin group, the values in melatonin group were significantly lower thanthose in ANP group (P < 0.05). The peak value of TRX-1 mRNA and TRX-1 protwein expressions shifted from 12 h after ANP induction in ANP group to 6 h after ANP induction in melatonin group. Conclusions The expression of pancreatic TRX-1 protein and TRX-1 mRNA in rats with ANP was significantly increased. Melatonin pretreatment could promote pancreatic tissues to express TRX-1 protein and TRX-1 mRNA, and may be protective for pancreatic tissues damages.

BACKGROUND:Percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture have obtained good outcomes, because the traditional method is invalid, but there are a variety of choices in operation time, anesthesia, surgical approach and method, and each method has its advantages and disadvantages. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and preponderance of the manual reduction combined with unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty under general anesthesia in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:A total of 53 patients with single vertebral osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, who were treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty, were retrospectively analyzed from July 2012 to December 2014. The new method group (32 cases) received manual reduction, underwent unilateral pedicle puncture and bone cement injection during unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty under general anesthesia. The conventional method group (21 cases) received conventional percutaneous vertebroplasty. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was an average of 6-month folow-up (3-14 months). Significant differences in visual analogue scale scores, vertebral compression ratio and kyphosis Cobb’s angle were detected in the new method and the conventional method groups at 3 days post surgery and during final folow-up compared with before surgery (P < 0.01). No significant difference in visual analogue scale scores was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). Compared with the conventional method group, postoperative vertebral compression ratio, kyphosis Cobb’s angle and bone cement leakage rate were significantly lower in the new method group (P < 0.01). Results verified that the new method combined with the advantages of percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty, the advantages of unilateral and bilateral puncture approach. The new method can correct kyphosis deformity, effectively recover the vertebral height and physiological curvature and the puncture is safe. Simultaneously, the leakage rate of bone cement is reduced, and the distribution of bone cement is ideal.

Objective To study the imaging findings of unexpected splenic autotransplantation after splenectomy and to improve diagnostic accuracy of splenic autotransplantation.Methods The findings of 10 patients with splenic autotransplantation confirmed by histology in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed.In 7 patients CT and plain and dynamic enhanced MRI scanning were carried out,and in 2 of them 99mTc-DRBC scanning were also done.In 3 patients,plain and dynamic enhanced CT scannings were done.Results (1) Multiple lesions were detected in 7 patients and a single lesion in 3 patients.The masses were round and oval.The nodules were in the splenic fossa in 9 patients,in the pancreatic tail in 4 patients,in the right liver in 2 patients and in other of parts of the abdominal cavity in 2 patients.These nodules varied in size and 94.6％ showed a maximum diameter of less than 3 cm; (2) The findings on CT and MR:all the nodules were homogeneous with soft tissue density.There was no cystic degeneration,necrosis and calcification.In one patient with a nodule in the pancreatic tail,there was a slightly short T1 and short T2 signals.Other nodules showed long T1 and long T2 signals.All the signals from the nodules were homogeneous and their outlines were clear.In a patient with a nodule in the right liver,the blood supply came from the abdominal aorta.There was a surrounding thin layer of low-density ring which showed long T1 and long T2 signals.The enhanced features on CT and MR were similar.The nodules showed homogeneous or inhomogeneous enhancement in the arterial phase,with continuous homogeneous enhancement in the portal venous phase,with an obvious decline in the delayed phase;(3) The findings of 18 F-FDG PET:The nodules had obvious increase in FDG uptake.Conclusions In patients with a history of splenic trauma or splenectomy,abdominal nodules with multiple,homogeneous density or signal,clear outline,enhanced features similar to spleen,splenic autotransplantation should be considered.99mTc-DRBC scanning is helpful in the diagnosis of splenic autotransplantation.
