Objective To analyze clinical characteristics of acute mesenteric venous thrombosis (AMVT) and its diagnositic methods. Methods Medical records of 16 patients diagnosed as SMVT in Friendship Hospital of Beijing during October 1985 to October 2002 were collected and analyzed, and its clinical characteristics and diagnostic methods were summarized.Results Median age of the 16 patients was 45.9 years, ranged from 19 to 64 years. Their main symptoms at admission were abdominal pain (100%), abdominal distension (100%), acute abdomen (100%), vomiting (75%, 12/16) and fever (75%, 12/16), with an underdiagnosis rate of 75% (12/16) and case-fatality ratio of 44% (7/16).Conclusions AMVT had several specific manifestations. Early clinical diagnosis for AMVT could be established on the basis of abdominal color doppler ultrasonography, diagnostic abdominocentesis, CT and selective superior mesenteric arteriography, and its case-fatality could be lowered with early surgical operation.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for rectal carcinoid tumors. Methods From January 2006 to January 2009, EMR was performed in 28 patients with rectal carcinoids, who were followed up to evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety. Results Tumor diameters varied from 0.4 cm to 1. 2 cm (mean 0.7± 0. 2 cm). Negative resection margin was a-chieved in 26 cases (92. 9% ), tumor margin within 0. 1 cm of resection margin in 1 (7. 1% ) , and two margins coincided in 1 patient (7. 1% ). Hemostasis was performed with metal clips in 14 patients (50% ) and argon plasma coagulation (APC) in 9 (32. 1% ). Except for rectal bleeding in 1 patient (3. 6% ) , no other complications were observed. There was no recurrence in any patients during a follow-up of 6-36 months. Conclusion EMR is a useful and safe method for treatment of small rectal carcinoid tumor which does not cross submucosal layer.

OBJECTIVETo establish human heart valve interstitial cells calcification culture model in vitro, and observe the effect of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) on calcification of human heart valve interstitial cells.
METHODSHuman heart valve interstitial cells were cultured in vitro, and divided into control group: cells were cultured in conventional media plus recombinant human BMP-2 treatment and experimental group: besides above treaments, calcification inducers ( recombinant human BMP-2, β-glycerophosphate, L-ascorbic acid, dexamethasone) were added to the culture media. The two group of cells were cultured for 14 days and were stained by Von Kossa, then the cell calcification was observed in this valvular interstitial cells calcification culture model in vitro. Protein expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), interleukin 8, BMP-2 and BMP-4 was determined by Western blot and BMP-2 secretion was measured by ELISA.
RESULTSIn the control group, the structure of human heart valve interstitial cells was clear, and the spindle and radial growth shaped cellular morphology was visible, and Von Kossa staining was negative. In the experimental group, the nuclei become darker in color, and granular sediment distribution was seen surrounding cells, and Von Kossa staining was positive, the cells were forming nodules of calcification. The protein expression of ICAM-1, interleukin 8, BMP-2 and BMP-4 in the experimental was significantly higher than that of the control group (all P < 0.05). The expression of BMP-2 in the experimental group was also significantly higher than that in control group ((92.5 ± 4.9) pg/ml vs. (22.2 ± 1.9) pg/ml, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONHuman BMP-2, β-glycerophosphate, L-ascorbic acid, and dexamethasone can induce human heart valve interstitial cells calcification and enhance inflammation in vitro by stimulating the secretion of BMP-2.

BACKGROUND:Cytokines secreted from neurons and glial cel s in early stage of spinal cord injury probably are essential factors for inducing secondary immunologic injury.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6 and interleukin-17 on inflammatory reaction after acute spinal cord injury.
METHODS:A total of 75 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group and the spinal cord injury groups:1, 6, 24 and 72 hours. A rat model of incomplete spinal cord injury was established by the modified Al en weight drop method. The control group just underwent laminectomy. Injured spinal cord and spleen tissues were col ected at corresponding time points after model induction. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the distribution and expressions of interleukin-6 and interleukin-17 in spinal cord tissue. Western blot assay was utilized to detect the changes in p-STAT3 expression in injured spinal cord. RT-PCR was applied to measure the mRNA expression of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6 and interleukin-17 in the spleen.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expression levels of p-STAT3, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and interleukin-17 were significantly higher in the spinal cord injury groups than those in the control group (P<0.05). The expression of inflammatory cytokines increased immediately after injury. Interleukin-1βand interleukin-6 levels peaked at 6 hours, and then decreased. p-STAT3 and interleukin-17 levels peaked at 24 hours, and then decreased. The expression was stil higher at 72 hours than that in the control group. Results suggested that the expression of p-STAT3-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1βand interleukin-6 in early stage increased. Inflammatory cascade would enlarge in the injured area, which probably induced secondary spinal cord injury and increased interleukin-17 levels. These possibly played a key role in secondary inflammatory reaction.
