Chinese Journal of Digestion 2016;36(2):91-95
Objective To investigate the significance and possible mechanism of food intolerance in diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).Methods Twenty-seven IBS-D patients matched the Rome Ⅲ criteria were selected as IBS-D group.Twenty-seven healthy individuals without gastrointestinal symptoms were assigned to control group.Food intolerance situation of two groups were analyzed with food intolerance status evaluation questionnaire,and detection of 14 food specific IgG antibody.The severity of IBS symptoms of IBS-D group were scored by IBS-symptom severity scale (SSS).Two pieces of mucosal tissues of both ileocecal junction and sigmoid colon were obtained under colonoscopy.The content of mucosal substance P (SP) was determined by immunohistochemistry.The quantity of mast cells were detected by Giemsa staining.Chi square test and Fisher exact probability method were performed for rate comparison between two groups.Measurement data were compared with t test and Mann-Whitney rank sum test.The correlation between IBS-SSS score and mast cells and the expression of SP positive cells were analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis.Results There was no statistically significant difference in positive rates of food specific IgG between two groups (x2 =3.085,P=0.389),however according to food intolerance status evaluation questionnaire,the incidence of food intolerance of IBS-D group was 44.4 % (12/27) which was higher than that of control group (14.8 %,4/ 27),the difference was statistically (x2 =5.684,P=0.017).Food intolerance severity index of IBS-D group (median:0(0,60)) was higher than that of control group (median:0(0,0)),and the difference was statistically significant (U=239.50,P =0.007).In foods that may cause intolerance,the percentage of foods rich in fermentable oligosaccharides and monosaccharides,disaccharides and polyol (FODMAP) such as milk,noodles,soybeans was up to 71.4% (30/42).The expression tates of SP positive cells in the mucosa of ileocecal junction and sigmoid colon of patients with IBS-D were higher than those of the control group (x2-20.735 and 22.071,both P<0.01).The numbers of mast cell in the mucosa of ileocecal junction and sigmoid colonic of patients with IBS D (2.40 ± 1.04/high power field (HPF) and 2.35±1.11/HPF) were more than those of the control group (0.97 ± 0.70/HPF and 0.89 ± 0.72/HPF),and the difference was statistically significant (t=-5.850 and-5.629,both P<0.01).The severity of bowel symptom of patients with IBS-D was moderately correlated with the number of mast cells in the mucosa of sigmoid colon (r=0.576,P=0.002),and was moderately correlated with the expression of SP positive cells (r=0.691,P<0.01).Conclusions There may be relation ship among low-grade inflammation of intestinal mucosa,food intolerance and severity of intestinal symptoms in patients with IBS-D.
3.The common causes of premature delivery and the analysis of tocolytic effect
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2009;16(9):1565-1566
Objective To investigate the eomman causes of premature delivery,the tocolytic effect and suc-cess ratio and the birth situation of premature infants. Methods 150 pregnant women with natural delivery or iatro-genie preterm labor from 28 weeks to 34 weeks who carried out tocolytic therapy because of threatened preterm labor or premature delivery after tocolytic therapy were selected. The common inducement of premature delivery, the pro-longed gestational weeks, the success ratio of tocolyis and the birth situation of premature infants were retrospectively analyzed. Results The premature rupture of membranes(PROM) ,the spontaneous uterine contraction and iatrogenic preterm labor were the main reasons of premature labor. The primiparas are the majority. The iatrogenic partus pre-maturus were prolonged, the asphyxia rate of premature infants was still high. The incidence of premature rupture of fe-tal menbranes in pregnant with tocolytic therapy beyond 1 week was 3. 3% ,and the incidence of spontaneous urerine contraction was 4. 8%. Conclusion Antenatal care and prenatal diagnosis are important to decrease the premature labor ratio as early as possible to use the D. X. M to promote the fetal lung maturity, so as not to delay the treatment.

8.Identification of a novel transcriptional factor HMGB34367 for activation of ?-smooth muscle actin gene in relation to pulmonary fibrosis
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(06):-
Objective: To demonstrate the influence of HMGB34367,a subfamily member of the high-mobility group protein B1(HMGB1),as a transcriptional factor of the ?-SMA gene expression.Methods: We cloned HMGB34367 cDNA from the fibrotic lung tissue of the Balb/C mouse treated with BLM by RT-PCR,sub-cloned it into a eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA 3.0 or pEGF-N2,and constructed a report plasmid,pDsRed-SMA,encoding red fluorescence(RFP) driven by ?-SMA promoter.Following the co-transfection of pDsRed-SMA and HMGB34367-pcDNA3.0/ pEGF-N2-HMGB34367 in the cultured 16HBE cells,we tested the expression of the RFP in the absence and presence of TGF?1 by fluorescence microscopy.After the transfection of HMGB34367-pcDNA3.0,the nucleus extracts from the transfected cells were subjected to electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA) for the detection of the binding activity of HMGB34367 with ?-SMA promoter CarGB motif.RT-PCR was performed for the evaluation of the ?-SMA gene expression in the cells.Results: The over expression of HMGB34367 activated the ?-SMA promoter and enhances the expression of the ?-SMA gene.An increased binding activity of HMGB34367 with CarGB motif was detected by EMSA in the transfected cells.Conclusion:HMGB34367,a member of HMGB1 family,could act as a transcription factor for the transcriptional activation of the ?-SMA gene,which may play an important role in the development of lung fibrosis.
