The important function of the gastrointestinal tract in monitoring and sealing the host intestine from intruders is called the gut barrier.A variety of specific and nonspecific mechanisms are in operation to establish the host barrier,including luminal mechanism,secretion of the digestive enzymes,the epithelial cells together with tight junctions between them and the gut immune system.The pathogenesis of gut barrier dysfuntion is multifactorial.They can lead to the translocation of the intestinal bacteria.Sometimes,even the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome can happen.Nitric oxide,one of the smallest products of the cell,is known to have a very large role in diverse physiologic and pathological processes.Recent study shows its toxic metabolite,peroxynitrite(ONOO~(-)),play a major role in the intestinal mucosal injury.The purpose of this literature review is to provide a better understanding of the mechanism of the protection and injury to the gut barrier function about nitric oxide and peroxynitrite.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of heart rate deceleration capacity (DC) measurement in predicting the car-diotoxicity of malignant tumor patients treated with epirubicin-based chemotherapy. Methods:The clinical medical records, including CK-MB and cTnI levels and dynamic electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters before and after each chemotherapy cycle, of 140 patients treated with epirubicin-based chemotherapy were analyzed. Patients were divided into the DC>4.5 ms group and the DC≤4.5 ms group based on the calculated DC values. The CK-MB and cTnI levels and the dynamic ECG parameters of the two groups were compared af-ter two and four cycles of chemotherapy. Results:Patients in the two groups exhibited no statistically significant difference in their rele-vant clinical and pathological data before receiving chemotherapy (P>0.05). However, after four cycles of chemotherapy, the DC≤4.5 ms group showed a significantly greater increase in serum CK-MB and cTnI concentrations over the pre-chemotherapy levels compared with the DC>4.5 ms group. After two and four cycles of chemotherapy, the DC≤4.5 ms group also exhibited a significantly greater in-crease in mean heart rate (beats/min) and supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmia counts (times/24 h) over the pre-chemotherapy values compared with the DC>4.5 ms group (P<0.05). After four cycles of chemotherapy, 23 cases showed abnormally elevated cTnI levels in the DC≤4.5 ms group. In this group, patients with elevated cTnI level exhibited no statistically significant difference in CK-MB and cTnI concentrations, mean heart rates, and supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmia counts compared with those with nor-mal cTnI level before chemotherapy (P>0.05). However, the DC values of patients with elevated cTnI were significantly lower than those with normal cTnI level (P<0.05). Conclusion:The risk of epirubicin-induced cardiotoxicity increased with decrease in DC value. The DC test was shown to be an effective predictor of the risk of epirubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Objective To analyze the consistency of individual examination diagnosis with terminologies expressed in the conclusion report of physical examinations by the chief inspection physician. Methods Based on the clinical classifications used in the Guidelines on Prevention and Treatment of Blood Lipid Abnormality for Chinese Adults, and related terminology descriptions of Dyslipidemias that were actually used in four-item blood lipid examinations diagnosis, a lexicon database of Hyperlipidemias was constructed with 39 terms used in the four-item blood lipid examination diagnosis and chief physician conclusions. Totally 11953 electronic chief physician inspection reports from 8 health check-up institutions were included. We investigated the terms of lexicon database using word frequency analysis method, calculated the positive rate in the diagnosis of four single examinations of serum lipid and the positive rate in the chief physician's conclusion. Consistency of chief physician's conclusion with single examination diagnosis was analyzed by Kappa test. Results (1) Among the 39 terms of lexicon database, there are 18 nonstandard terms used in single examination diagnosis, accounted for 46% of all terms; (2) In word frequency analysis, there are only 1% of terms that corresponded to clinical classifications of Hyperlipidemias accurately;(3) The positive rate of Hyperlipidemias in serum lipid four single examinations diagnosis was 47%, the positive rate of physician diagnosis was 35%. The consistency analysis of chief physician conclusions with single examination diagnosis showed Kappa=0.71(P<0.01). Conclusions Although the final conclusion written by the chief physician was not using standard terms strictly, most of synonymous terminology expressed in the physician conclusion is normative, which enabled the construction of lexicon database and text mining. Whether the single examination diagnosis are consistent with physician conclusions can be an evaluation indicator to assess the quality of chief physician conclusions for physical examinations. Kappa>0.75 may be suggested as a favorable value.
