摘要:AIM To investigate the expression of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), inducible NO synthase (iNOS)protein and eNOS mRNA gene in the splanchnic organs of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertensive rats.METHODS In control and CCl4-induced liver cirrhotic rats, the expression of eNOS and iNOS proteins wasdetected by immunohistochemical method, and eNOS mRNA was detected by in situ hybridization.RESULTS The expression of eNOS protein and eNOS mRNA increased in most organs of the cirrhotic rats,including bronchial and alveolar epithelial cells, renal tubular epithelial cells and mesenchyma, endothelialand adventitial cells of aorta and superior mesenteric artery, whereas no significant increase of iNOS proteinwas found. In the hepatic tissue, NOS protein and eNOS mRNA were present in mesenchymal cells and vesseladventitial cells, no difference was observed in the expression between control and cirrhotic rats.CONCLUSION The expression of NOS varied in region. In splanchnic organs and vasculars there was anincreased expression of eNOS which induced aplanchnic vasodilation and increased the inflow of portal vein,while in the liver tissue and blood vessel showed no increased expression, which may be associated withincreased intrahepatic vascular resistance.

  • 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 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 We introduce a new highly selective vagotomy (HSV) procedure which can completely destroy anyexisting variant vagal fibers innervating the proximal stomach.METHODS Twenty-eight dogs were divided into three groups: group A had retrograde liberated highlyselective vagotomy (RLHSV), group B had traditional HSV and group C as control group. Gastric acidsecretion function was tested and gastric parasympathetic and sympathetic enervation were studied byretrograde tracing the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or by histochemical staining. After being convincedthat the modified procedure was an easier and more effective HSV on animal model, we applied thetechnique to the treatment of duodenal ulcers in 100 patients.RESULTS Significant decrease of acid secretion was found in operated dogs in both group A and B. After injection of HRP subserously into the fundus and body, no HRP positive cells were found in the vagal dorsalnucleus in group A and B but were in group C. When HRP was injected into the antrum, HRP stained cellswere found in dorsal nucleus in all three groups. The negative histochemical staining of AchE and the positivefluorescence in the fundus and body in group A and B indicate that parasympathetic nerve fibers weredestroyed completely while norepinephrinergic nerve fibers were intact. When the operation was applied topatients, no severe complications or operative mortality occurred. Patients were followed up for 6- 84months. They all had complete gastric emptying function. Ninety-four patients were graded as Visick I orⅡ. Six as Visick Ⅲ and Ⅳ. Eighty patients had been followed up with gastroscopy for two years afteroperation. Four patients had recurrent ulcers. Among them two patients were asymptomatic and the othertwo had symptoms and were treated with partial gastrectomy.CONCLUSION Compared to the classic HSV, our modified procedure is more effective clinically andconvenient technically.

  • 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 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 study the change of T cell subsets and erythrocytes immune function in children with acuterotavicus enteritis (RE) and to explore its clinical significance.METHODS T cell subsets were detected by indirect immunofluorescence technique, RBC immune functionwas achieved by detecting RBC C3b receptor rosette (RBC-CR1R) and RBC immune complex rosette (RBC-ICR). The statistical significance of differences was evaluated by using analysis of variance (ANOVA).RESULTS The percentage rate of CD3 and CD4 cell and the ratio of CD4/CD8 in acute stage of RE weresignificantly lower than those of control ( P <0.01), while the percentage rate of CD8 cell remained almostunchangec Along with the improvement of clinical symptoms, the level of CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8returned to normal in recovery stage. RBC-CR1R in acute stage of RE was significantly lower than that ofcontrol (F = 15.44, P<0.01) and returned to normal in recovery stage. RBC-ICR rose slightly in acute stageof RE, but there was no significant difference between acute stage of RE and the control (F=0.02518,P>0.05). Correlative analysis showed that RBC-CR1R was positively correlated to the percentage rate ofCD4 cell (r =0.528l, P<0.01) and the ratio of CD4/CD8 (r=0.4832, P<0.01), in acute stage of RE.CONCLUSION Cellular immune might take part in the development of RE, CD4/CD8 ratio might berelated to the prognosis of RE. The immune function of RBC reduced secondarily in acute stage of RE. It isnecessary to keep the immune function of RBC in treatment of RE in order to strengthen the patient's abilityof anti-infection.
