AIM To analyze the psychological characteristics of enterostomized patients, identify the effective methodsin order to improve the psychological rehabilitation of these patients and promote their quality of life.METHODS Questionnaires were filled up by 293 enterostomized patients pre- and post-operatively toidentify their psychological characteristics. One group (n = 45) of post-enterostomized patients were taughtto take care of stoma by irrigation, the others (n = 248) to merely look after the colostomy bag.RESULTS The psychological characteristics were identified as disbelief, fear, desperation or anxiety pre-operatively; as unstable mood, irritable, afraid, sense of lost body image or depression post-operatively; aslow self-esteem, self isolation, or despondent in rehabilitative period respectively. Results revealed that thepatients need psychological support both pre-operatively and post-operatively. Meanwhile, proper stoma careis of the same importance. After irrigation 1 -3 months regularly, most of the 45 regular irrigating patientswere free from skin irritation problems; 40(89%) patients had daily or bidaily motions; and most of themshowed an absence of fecal leakage or gases, and they hardly suffer from bad odors. Some of them even onlypartially use the colostomy bag. These patients were more confident to reinstate to their previous daily life.Only 5 (11%) patients had irregular bowel movements. Enterostomized patient club and out-patientconsultation clinic are beneficial to improve their psychological rehabilitation.CONCLUSION Careful pre-operative psychological support can help patient's post-operative adoption. Thepsychological rehabilitation of the patients can speed their physical recovery. Proper stoma care and earlyreinstatement into previous social life are also important to improve the patients' rehabilitation.

AIM To characterize genomic DNA flanking IS900 insertions and develop a rapid Multiplex PCR IS900Locus (MPIL) typing method for MAP reporting the presence or absence of the element at each locus,METHODS Genomic DNA flanking 14 of the 18 IS900 loci was sequenced and compared with databasehomologues. An MPIL typing method was developed using a common IS900 primer and individual locus-specific primers designed to produce amplification products differing by about 50bp which could be easilyresolved on a single gel. MPIL was applied to a panel of 81 MAP isolates and compared with RFLP profiles.RESULTS Genes flanking IS900 loci included homologues of transcription regulators, a sigma factor, anitrate reductase, a polyketide synthase and an O6-methylguanine-methyl transferase. MPIL rapidly andconsistently identified 10 individual types of MAP from the panel of 81 isolates, and distinguished betweenbovine and ovine strains. Nine MPIL types corresponded directly to single RFLP types previously identified.CONCLUSION Isg00 insertions in MAP may affect the expression of genes critically associated with thepathogenic phenotype. MPIL typing can identify bovine and ovine strains independent of the need for cultureand may contribute to studies of the molecular epidemiology of these difficult organisms.

AIM We have discovered that Limonene modulates interdigestive myoelectrical complexes (IMCs) ofgastrointestinal tract in rats. In this research we will elucidate weather limonene affects acetylcholine M-receptor in caudate nucleus.METHODS Changes of IMCs were studied after limonene and/or atropine were microinjected into caudatenucleus. IMCs were recorded by a RM-6200 four-channel recorder and then delivered to Maclab and PowerMacintosh.RESULTS The active phases of IMCs occupied about 40% of total cycle in average. After microinjection oflimonene into caudate nucleus, the active phases were significantly shortened, while the cycle time of IMCswere not changed significantly. The inhibitory effects of limonene were abolished by pretreatment withatropine, whilst the atropine has no effect on IMCs.CONCLUSION It is suggested that limonene inhabits the gastrointestinal IMCs by affecting M-receptor incaudate nucleus.

AIM To study the safety and the traumatic degree of D4 approach by retrospective analysis of the para-operative data from the para-aortic lymph nodes excision in comparison with those from standard radicalresection in advanced gastric cancer (AGC).METHODS Several para-operative data including the resectability, the mortality, the complicatedmorbidity, the amount of transfused blood, and the hospitalized days relating to the operation were analyzedstatistically between D4(n = 30) and D2 lymph nodes excision (n = 34) groups. The data expressed as means±SD was analyzed statistically by Student t test. Percentage of the data was analyzed by x2 test statistically.It was taken as significant difference if P value was less than 0.05.RESULTS The percentage of palliated resection in D4 group was significantly lower than that in D2 group(16.67% vs 47.06%, P<0.05). This D4 radical resection would indeed prolong the drainage time (7.35±0.98 days vs 14.78±2.16 days, P < 0.01). The amount of transfused blood during operation (774.32±112.09mL) and the operative consuming time in D4 group (7.14±0.39h) increased significantly toocompared with those in D2 group (538.67±59.87mL, P < 0.05; 4.12±0.18h, P < 0.05), suggesting that thedraumatic degree of D4 operation was severer than that of D2 operation. But the mortality, the morbidity ofcomplication and the hospitalized time after D4 operation did not increase significantly, indicating that D4lymph nodes excision as a choice of the surgical treatment of AGC was safe and feasible.CONCLUSION D4 lymph nodes excision for AGC is safe, reasonable and feasible.

AIM To explore the anti-tumor effect of indomethacin (IN) on human colon adenocarcinoma cells anddetermine the influence of indomethacin on cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis and elucidate the anti-tumor mechanism of Indomethacin.METHODS Human colon adenocarcinoma HCT116 cell line were cultured separately in vitro. Indomethacin(final concentration 100 μm - 800 gm) was administered alone or altogether with 5-Fu (50 μm). Agarose gelelectrophoresis, MTT, and Flow cytometry were used to study cell proliferation and apoptosis in humancolon carcinoma cell RT-PCR, western blot were used to detect the expression level of Bcl-2, bax gene andcdk4 protein expression in HCT116 cell lines after treated with IN for 24 hours.RESULTS Indomethacin can inhibit significantly the proliferation of HCT116 cell, change the morphology,and cause the cells to accumulate in the G0/Gl phase of the cell cycle, and induce apoptosis. The apoptosis oftumor cells was confirmed by DNA ladder formation on gel electrophoresis and sub-Gl peak on flowcytometry. These responses were time-and concentration-dependent. A synergic effect of inhibiting cancercell proliferation was observed when combined with Indomethacin and 5-Fu. RT-PCR results showed that INdown-regulated Bcl-2 mRNA expression, and did not change Bax mRNA expression. Western blot resultsconfirmed that IN inhibited Bcl-2 protein expression. No influence was found in the translation of Baxprotein. In inhibited cdk4 protein expression.CONCLUSION Our study results indicate that IN induce apoptosis of HCT116 cell by down-regulating Bcl-2expression and inhibiting cdk4 protein expression partially. This explains the mechanisms of antitumoractivity of the Indomethacin.

AIM To investigate the effects of low dosage of nitric oxide synthesis (NOS) inhibitor NG-nitro-L-argininemethyl ester (L-NAME) in long-term treatment on hyperdynamic circulatory state in rats with cirrhosis.METHODS Cirrhosis model was induced in male SD rats by injection of 60% CC14 oily solutionsubcutaneously. Cirrhotic rats were treated with L-NAME (0.5 mg·kg-1·d-1) by gavage for two weeks. Meanarterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), splanchnic vascular resistance (SVR),splanchnic blood flow (SBF) and serum NO levels were determinded in L-NAME-treated, L-NAME-untreated cirrhotic rats and controls by using 57Co-Labled microsphere technique and a fluorometric assay,respectively.RESULTS Untreated cirrhotic rats had significantly lower MAP, SVR and higher PP, CO, CI, SBF andNO concentration than controls ( 14.42±0,47 kPa vs 17.05±0.34 kPa, 2.974±0.186 kPa·mL-1·min-1 vs4.234±0.118 kPa·mL-1·min-1, 1.665±0.067 kPa vs 1.123±0.096 kPa, 189.99±9.26 mL/min vs 135.5±3.55 mL/min, 55.89±1.82 mL-1·min-1·100g-1 BW vs 39.68±1.64 mL-1·min-1·100g-1 BW, 4.60±1.25μmol/L vs 0.53±0.26 μmol/L, P<0.01, respectively). In treated cirrhotic rats, L-NAME significantlyattenuated the increase of CO, CI, SBF, NO concentration and the decrease of MAP and SVR. In treatedcirrhotic rats, L-NAME induced a marked decrement of NO concentration than untreated cirrhotic rats(1.471 ±0.907 μmol/L vs 4.204±1.253 μmol/L, P<0.01).CONCLUSION The endogenous NO may play an important role in the changes of hemodynamics pattern incirrhosis,and hyperdynamic circulatory state in rats with cirrhosis can be ameliorated by long-term low doseL-NAME treatment.
