摘要:AIM To observe the effect of repair of intrathoracic esophageal perforation with gastric seromuscularpatch.METHODS Twelve patients with intrathoracic esophageal perforation, none of whom were associated withcarcinoma, underwent primary repair with a gastric seromuscular patch and omental pedicle flap between1996 and 1999. Four perforations were iatrogenic and 8 were spontaneous. The interval from perforation tooperation was less than 12 hours in 4 patients, 12 to 24 hours in 3, and more than 24 hours in 5. The principleof repair included: ① To expose health mucosa and submucosa for the primary repair. The leading edge ofthe mucosa is grasped and the adjacent esophageal muscle is mobilized away from the submucosa until there isa 3 to 7 mm circumferential rim of normal submucosa. ② The gastric seromucular patch and omental pedicleflap require continuity of the right gastric piple, omental vessels and the rami. ③ To assure the blood flow ofthe esophagus when the necrotic mediastinal and esophageal tissue are debrided, the normal esophageal tissueoften extends well beyond the 3/4 diameter of the esophagus. ④ The mediastinal pleural is not closed inorder to drain. The catchers nasogastric tube decompression of the stomach is continued until thepostoperative ileus resolves.RESULTS Eleven of the 12 patients underwent primary repair, one patient had leak at the site of repairand died.CONCLUSION Meticulous repair of an intrathoracic esophageal perforation using a gastric seromuscularpatch is the preferred approach regardless of the duration of the injury.

  • AIM To evaluate the clinical significance of early nutrition support in severe head-injured patients.METHODS One hundred and forty cases (GCS≤8) were randomly divided into 5 groups: each one had 28cases with similar data in age, sex, GCS or prognosis (P>0.05, x2= 0.43). Group A were given earlyparenteral nutrition (PN) and enteral nutrition (EN); group B were given early PN and EN after 1 week;group C were given PN only for more than 2 weeks; group D were given early PN only and group E weregiven traditional delayed EN. The clinical nutritional data, the rate of complication and the progrosis wereobserved and statistical comparison (t test and Chi-square test) was made.RESULTS The severe head-injured patients could get nourishment from different ways at early stage.Groups A and B had better outcomes and their clinical data such as blood glucose, blood total goblin, bloodalbumin, lymphocyte amount were superior to that of groups D and E (P<0.05, t = 2.12) and were thesame as that of group C (P>0.05, t = 0.98), the rate of complication and the prognosis of patients werebetter than that of the other groups. Group C had similar nutritional data in early stage, but had higher rateof complication and infection after 2 weeks than group A or B ( P<0.01, x2 = 7.38). Group A had lowerrate of gastric hemorrhage.CONCLUSION Early rational nutritional support had significant effect in the severe head-injured patients.The nutritional support of early PN and EN could afford nourishment, protect and improve the gastroentericfunction, reduce the rate of complication. So it is a rational nutritional support.

  • AIM To study the liver-protecting and fibrosis-resisting effect of Ganxianning (GXN) and its mechanism.METHODS Model of carbon tetrachloride hepatic injury fibrosis rats was reproduced. In the experimentthere were six groups, the treatment groups with GXN's large, moderate and small dose (GXNb, GXNm andGXNs), the treatment group with colchicine, the blank model group and normal control group. The course of treatment was 30 days, then the rats were killed with their blood and liver tested.RESULTS In treatment groups, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was lower than that in the model group(P<0.01), and albumin (Alb) higher than that in the model (P<0.01). Hydroxylproline (Hyp) and redcell membrane C3B receptor garland in GXNb's and GXNm's groups were lower and circulation complex(CIC) was slightly higher. Fibrinogen (Fb) in both colchicine and model groups was higher than that innormal group and the difference was significant (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with model group, acid-α-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) increased in GXNb's and GXNm's groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). Underlight and electron microscopes, level of hepatic fibrosis of GXN groups was much lower than that of themodel group, P<0.01, and their difference was very significant. In GXNms group, liver cell was normal onthe whole and its chromatin was more than the model group and its nucleolus was evident.CONCLUSION GXN has rather good functions of protecting liver and resisting fibrosis, and thesefunctions are related to the increase of ANAE and C3b, decrease of CIC and Fb. and improvement of bodyimmunity function.

  • AIM The control of diet regimen and nutrient intake, aiming to avoid the evaggerated levels of glucose andanabolic hormone is broadly accepted as basic treatment of diabetes mellitus. Maltose is an importanthydrolysate of starch, main source of nutrition. Acarbose is an alpha-D-glucosidase inhibitor but with a shortinhibitory duration. Gymnemic acid (GA), a group of triterpene glucuronides, inhibits glucose absorptionwith a longer effective duration but it needs a longer time to achieve its maximum effect. To determinewhether nutrient control in diabetic care can be improved by combination of them, we compared thecombinative and individual effect of acarbose and GA on maltose absorption and hydrolysis in smallintestine.METHODS The absorption and hydrolysis of maltose were studied by re-cyclic perfusion of intestinal loopsin situ and motility of the intestine was recorded with the intestinal loop in vitro, of Wistar rat.RESULTS The total inhibitory rate of maltose absorption was improved by the combination of GA (0.1 -1.0 mg/mL) and acarbose (0.1- 2.0 mmol/L) throughout their effective duration (P<0.05, U test ofMann-Whitney), although the improvement only could be seen in the low dosages during the first hour. Withthe combination, inhibitory duration of acarbose on maltose absorption was prolonged to 3 hours and theonset of GA inhibitory effect was fastened to 15 minutes. GAsuppressed the intestinal mobility with a goodcorrelation (r = 0.98) to the inhibitory effect of GA on maltose absorption and the inhibitory effect of2 mmol/L (higher dose) acarbose on maltose hydrolysis was dual modulated by 1 mg/mL GA in vivoindicating that the combined effects involved the functional alteration of intestinal barriers.CONCLUSION There are augmented effects of acarbose and GA, which involve pre-cellular andparacellular barriers. Furthermore, diabetic care can be improved by employing this combination.

  • AIM To determine the role of Helicobacter pylori in altering gastric mucin synthesis and define how thprocess relates to H. pylori-related diseases.METHODS Analyses of human gastric tissues using immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridizatiodocument the role of H. pylori in altering the composition and distribution of gastric mucins.RESULTS These data indicate a decrease in the product of the MUC5 (MUC5AC) gene and aberraexpression of MUC6 in the surface epithelium of H. pylori-infected patients. A normal pattern was restorby H. pylori eradication. Inhibition of mucin synthesis including MUC5AC and MUCl mucins by H. pvlohas been established in vitro using biochemical and Western blot analyses. This effect is not due to inhibitiof glycosylation, but results from inhibition of synthesis of mucin core structures. In vitro experiments usiinhibitors of mucin synthesis indicate that cell surface mucins decrease adhesion of H. pylori to gastepithelial cells.CONCLUSION Inhibition of mucin synthesis by H. pylori in vivo can disrupt the protective mucous layand facilitate bacterial adhesion, which may lead to increased inflammation in thc gastric epithelium.

  • AIM To evaluate the effect of chitosan on rat body weight, concetration of plasma leptin and serumtestosterone.METHODS Five groups of rats were respectively given access to basic diet, high fat diet and high fat dietwith different doses of chitosan (1.5%,3.0% and 6.0% of chitosan in high fat diet respectively) for 7 wk.All rats were weighed once a week. By the end of wk 7, the animals were sacrificed and their blood sampleswere taken, the concentration of plasma leptin and serum testosterone were determined by RIA Kit method.RESULTS At the end of wk7, the average body weight of rats treated with high-fat diet was 67.3 gheavier than that with the basic diet, however, the average body weight of rats treated with high doses of chitosan in high-fat diet was 56.3 g lighter than that with high-fat diet (P < 0.01). In addition, plasma leptinconcentration in rats treated with high fat diet was significantly different from those with basic diet(P<0.01); plasma leptin concentration in rats treated with high dose of chitosan in high-fat diet wassignificantly lower than those with high-fat diet (P<0.01), but was significantly higher than those withbasic diet (P<0.05). Serum testosterone level in rats treated with high-fat diet was significantly lower thanthose with basic diet (P<0.01). Serum testosterone levels in rats administrated high dose of chitosan inhigh-fat diet were sighificantly lower than those with high-fat diet (P<0.01).CONCLUSION Chitosan prevents the increase of rat body weight induced by high-fat diet, and lowersplasma leptin and serum testosterone in rats.

  • AIM To evaluate the pharmacological effect of phosphorus-32 glass microspheres (32p-GMS) injected intothe implanted human liver cancer cell mass in nude mice.METHODS Fifty-two Balb/c tumor loaded nude mice were allocated into treatment group (n =38) andcontrol group (n = 14), in the former group different doses of 32p-GMS were injected into the tumor mass,while in the latter group 31 P-GMS or no treatment were given instead of 32 P-GMS. After dynamicallyobserving the growth of tumor for d 3 - d 28, the experimental animals were killed in batches, the tumor andits nearby tissues were examined by light and electronic microscopy.RESULTS In comparing with the control group, the treatment group showed the tumor inhibiting rates of59.7% -93.6% (Variance analysis of the mean weight of different doses and control group after square rootcorrection, F= 579.62, P<0.01). As the tumor mass attained the absorbed dose of 7320Gy, the tumor cellswere completely destroyed and at this maximal dose in one case, the epithelial tissue neighboring to this massshowed the signs of metaplasia. When the absorbed doses ranged from 1830Gy to 3660Gy, most of the tumorcells showed the evidences of injury or necrosis, and some well differentiated tumor cells appeared. As theabsorbed dose being 366Gy or less, some tumor cells remained in active proliferative stage with a lot offibroblasts and lymphocytes presented in the neighboring interstitial tissues.CONCLUSION When the experimental model of implanted human liver cancer cells received 32p-GMS of1830Gy-3660Gy, it produces excellent anticancer action without any injury to the normal neighboringtissues and the prominent anticancer effect is found within d 3 after intratumor injection.

  • AIM To study the effects of heat exposure and swimming on membranous structure of the small intestinalepithelium and the biochemical indexes.METHODS The distribution of the intra-membranous particles (IMPs) in enteric epithelium of SD rats andthe number of IMPs were analyzed with freeze-etching technique and TxB2, PGFIa, PRL, CORT and totalSA (TSA) were measured with the techniques of biochemistry and radio-immunity.RESULTS Heat exposure markedly affected the distributive pattern of IMPs in intestinal epithelium andmade the numbers of IMPs on the PF and EF faces of cell membrane and nuclear membrane decreased.Swimming exacerbated the above changes. And in the meantime heat exposure resulted in the massivereleasing of the body-hurting substance as TxB2 and reducing of the body-protecting substance as PGFIa.TSA increased obviously. These changes recovered partly after heat exposure, but the number of IMPs onboth PF and EF faces and certain biochemical indexes were still not restored to the levels as in the controlgroup.CONCLUSION Heat exposure and swimming can make the cellular catabolism accelerated and anabolismreduced, then bring about the numbers of IMPs of intestinal epithelium membrane and nuclear membranedecreased, and the distribution was abnormal. TxB2, PGFIa, PRL, CORT and TSA were changedabnormally during heat exposure. And above indexes showed no notable evidence of recovery after stoppingheat exposure 4 hours-24 hours; the delayed injury was obviously presented.

  • AIM To study the effect of a wide range of concentration of arsenic trioxide on human hepatoma cell lineBEL-7402 and its mechanism.METHODS The BEL-7402 cells were treated with arsenic trioxide (a final concentration of 0.5, 1 and2 μmol/L, respectively) in various durations or for 4 successive days. The cell growth and proliferation wereobserved by cell counting and cell-growth curve. Morphologic changes were studied under electronmicroscopy. Flow cytometry was used to assay cell-DNA distribution and the protein expression of Bcl-2 andBax was detected by immunocytochemical method.RESULTS The cell growth was significantly inhibited by the different concentrations of arsenic trioxide asrevealed by cell counting and cell-growth curve. Arsenic trioxide treatment at 0.5, 1 and 2 μmol/L, resultedin a sub-G1 cell peak. The decreased G0/G1 phase cell and the increased percentage of S phase cell were observed by flow cytometer, suggesting that the inhibiting effect of arsernic trioxide on BEL-7402 cell lay inG0/G1 phase cell. Apoptotis-related morphology, such as intact cell membrane, nucleic condensation,apoptotic body formation, can be seen under the electron microscopy. High protein expression level of Bcl-2and Bax was detected in 1 and 2 μmol/L arsenic trioxide-treated cells, but that of Bax was more significant.Arsenic trioxide treatment at 0.5 μmol/L resulted in higher expression level of Bcl-2 and lower expressionlevel of Bax compared with control (P1<0.01, P2<0.01).CONCLUSION Arsenic trioxide not only inhibited the proliferation but also induced apoptosis of humanhepatoma cell line BEL-7402. The induced-apoptosis effect of 1 and 2 μmol/L arsenic trioxide was relative tothe expression level of Bcl-2 and Bax.

  • Advances in molecular biology made possible the discovery of the virus that causes hepatitis C. However,little is known about the fundamental aspects of hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication, primarily because arobust cell culture has not been established. As a result, the currently available drugs for the treatment ofhepatitis C are not specifically directed against HCV. Based on what is known about the molecular biology ofHCV, however, drugs can now be developed against specific viral and cellular targets. The next generationof drugs for the treatment of hepatitis C will likely be directed against non-structural HCV proteins withknown enzymatic activities, such as the proteases, RNA helicase and RNA polymerase. Others agentstargeted against the viral RNA, core protein that assembles into the virion capsid and putative cellular“receptors” that bind HCV envelope proteins are also being developed. These drugs should have fewer sideeffects than those currently available and be much more effective for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C.
