1.Side-to-side Meso-caval Shunt
Journal of Third Military Medical University 1983;0(03):-
Side-to-side meso-caval shunt is one of the peripheral porto-systemic shunts that can retain a part of the portal blood flow passing through the hepatic vascular bed. It has the advantages of simple operative maneuver and limited operative traumatism. Furthermore it can maintain the continuity of the inferior vena cave.This type of operation was performed on 24 patients with portal hypertension of different causes from 1963 to October, 1980- There was no immediate operative mortality. One case was complicated with chylous ascites postopera-tively. A second operation failed to correct the condition and the patient died of progressive exhaustion about one month later.Among the follow-up cases, four cases developed hepatoencephalopathy four to seven years later respectively; six cases developed recurrent digestive bleeding within 5 years after the shunt operation.The indications of this operation are: ( 1 ) slender body type;(2)no large amount of ascites; ( 3 ) bleeding after splenectomy; (4) no thrombosis or phlebitis of the superior mesenteric vein;(5)no enlargement of the pancreas; (6) a sufficient length of the main trunk of the superior mesenteric vein; ( 7 ) the distance between the superior mesenteric vein and the inferior vena cava is not too long.If there is a recent history of G-I bleeding, the coronary vein of the stomach should be ligated when the patient is being operated on. Whenever the anatomy of the regional veins is not suitable for this kind of operation, an interposing autogenous internal jugular vein graft had better be used.

AIM: To determine the expression of c-kit mRNA and protein in the bladders in guinea pigs with diabetic cystopathy (DCP) and to explore the correlation and mechanisms between c-kit expression and DCP. METHODS: Sixty guinea pigs were divided randomly into control group (n=20) and experimental group (n=40). The guinea pigs in experimental group were injected with streptozotocin (STZ) to induce diabetes mellitus. After fed for 10 weeks, the animals in both groups were tested with urodynamics, and the guinea pigs in experimental group were divided into the subgroups of DCP and the diabetic no-cystopathy (NDCP) group according to the results of urodynamics. mRNA expression of c-kit was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and protein expression of c-kit was tested and analyzed by laser scanning confocal microscope. RESULTS: Decreased expression of c-kit mRNA was observed in DCP group compared to control and the NDCP group. The ratio of c-kit mRNA and GAPDH was 5.66±0.54 in controls (P<0.05), 5.54±1.28 in NDCP group (P<0.05) and 4.65 ±0.47 in DCP group. c-kit protein expression significantly declined in DCP group. The mean value of fluorescence intensity was 856.52± 53.03 in control group, 844.67± 59.24 in NDCP group and 548.69± 48.51 in DCP (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The declined expression of c-kit) gene at transcription and translation levels destroys the SCF/c-kit signal pathway, leading to the dysfunction of Cajal-like) cells in DCP guinea pig, so the abnormal expression of c-kit gene is involved in the pathogenesis of DCP.

In 1989, Fitz defined and classified severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and he thought that surgical treatment of SAP is feasible. Since then, the strategy of treating SAP was a controversial issue over past decades. Currently, relevant literatures reported that medical or minimally invasive treatments are superior to surgical treatment, while it is too early to make the final conclusion because of the complexity of SAP. From 1989 to 2008, 1852 patients with acute pancreatitis were treated at the General Hospital of PLA, and the clinical data of 18 patients who died of SAP were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the analysis, we concluded that medical conservative therapy and surgical operative therapy should not be opposed to each other. Selecting ideal timing and appropriate operation on the basis of pathological changes of retroperitoneum and pancreatitis should be considered seriously, and the new concept of "miniaturization of trauma" should also be introduced in treating SAP.

Objective To discuss the types of ICC and characteristics of spontaneous Ca2+ waves of different types of ICC in the bladder of guinea pig. Methods Frozen-sections were made from the bladder of guinea pig and ICC were cultured in vitro. Cells were stained by indirect immunofluorescent method and detected by Laser scanning confocal microscope. The ICC cultured in vitro were divided randomly into 4 group: dimmer ICC,monomer ICC,dimmer ICC treated with 2-APB group and monomer ICC treated with 2-APB group according to the cell morphology and disrupted with 2-APB.The calcium concentration of ICC cultured in vitro were marked with Fluo-4 AM and disrupted by 2-aminoethoxydipheylbrate (2-APB, 100 μmol/L) in dimmer ICC treated with 2-APB group and monomer ICC treated with 2-APB group. The calcium oscillation function of ICC was observed under Laser scanning confocal microscope. Results For the monomer ICC and dimmer ICC in frozen sections and cultured in vitro,there were increased frequency (P<0.01) and amplitude (P<0.05) of spontaneous Ca2+ waves in dimmer ICC compared with the monomer monomer ICC. But after the cells disrupted by 2-APB after 15 min,There were decreased frequency (P<0.01) and amplitude (P<0.01) of spontaneous Ca2+ waves in the dimmer ICC treated with 2-ABP group compared with the dimmer ICC. The changes(P>0.05) of spontaneous Ca2+ waves was not statistical significance in monomer ICC treated with 2-ABP group compared with monomer ICC group. Conclusions The bladder of guinea pig may exist 2 different types of ICC, dimmer ICC and monomer ICC. The excitability of spontaneous Ca2+ waves of dimmer ICC could be higher than in monomer ICC. The special structure of dimmer ICC may contribute to the formation of high spontaneous Ca2+ waves.
