Objective To study the effect of pentoxifylline (PTX) on acute lung injury (ALI) in murine sepsis induced by intra abdominal infection. Methods Wistar rats were subjected to sepsis caused by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and animals were randomly divided into normal controls ( n =6), sepsis group ( n =18), and PTX treated group ( n =18). Pulmonary biopterin, nitric oxide (NO) levels, and pulmonary myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities were measured, guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase Ⅰ (GTP CHI), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF ?) mRNA expression were determined.Results Early treatment with PTX significantly decreased pulmonary MPO activities and TNF ?mRNA expression at 2 hours after CLP. Meanwhile, pulmonary biopterin, NO, GTP CHI, and iNOS mRNA expression levels were much lower in the treatment group than those in the non treatment group ( P

Objective To assess the predictive value of serum uric acid levels to the incident nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)in a cohort of healthy population. Methods A prospective cohort study of NAFLD incidence was conducted in Xinjiang province, from 2012 to 2014. A cohort study was performed on 2 207 subjects with no evidence of fatty liver disease by liver ultrasound and with no major risk factors for liver disease at baseline. All participants were interviewed to carry out the epidemiological questionnaire survey, physical examination, abdominal ultrasonography, as well as blood biochemistry measurements. The hazard ratios of NAFLD were compared among groups with different uric acid levels. All subjects were classified according to serum uric acid (within normal range grouped by quartile: Q1-Q4 group; above the normal range: Q5 group). Results NAFLD was newly diagnosed in 13.72% subjects within the 3-year period. The incidence of NAFLD was increased with elevated serum uric acid quartiles(P<0.01). In multivariate logistic regression, after adjustment for gender, age, race, metabolic syndrome and its components, OR for incident fatty liver in Q2 to Q5 of serum uric acid concentration as compared to Q1 were 2.509, 3.172, 3.392, and 4.041 respectively. Conclusion Elevated serum uric acid concentrations may predict NAFLD in the subjects for a regular health checkup.

Objective Thoracic cavity fistula following esophagus carcinoma resection is a serious complication with a high mortality.This study aims at a better therapy for thoracic cavity fistula following esophagus carcinoma resection by summarizing the ex-perience with the four-tube strategy ( jejunal fistula tube, stomach tube, chest drainage tube, and nasal fistula tube) in the treatment of the complication. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 62 cases of thoracic cavity fistula following esopha-gus carcinoma resection, 35 treated with the four-tube strategy ( treatment group) and the other 27 with the three-tube ( stomach tube, chest drainage tube, and nasal fistula tube) method ( control group) .We compared the hospital days, wound healing time, mortality, and incidence of anastomotic stenosis at 6 months after operation between the two groups of patients. Results Compared with the controls, the treatment group showed remarkable decreases in the hospital days (P<0.05), wound healing time (P<0.05), and mortality (P<0.05), but no statistically significant difference was observed in the incidence rate of anastomotic stenosis at 6 months after operation between the two groups of patients ( P >0.05 ) . Conclusion Compared with the three-tube method, the four-tube strategy has the advantages of shorter healing time and lower mortali-ty, and therefore is preferable for the treatment of thoracic cavity fis-tula following esophagus carcinoma resection.
