ABSTRACT
number of goblet cells, mucus secretion and mucin MUC5AC content in lung tissues. Results S100A9 in BALF of group B was (11.89±0.77) ng/mL, S100A9 integrated optical density (IOD) value in airway epithelial cells was 13.96±1.62, PAS stain area /epithelial cell area was (12.53±1.21)%, relative value of MUC5AC / NADPH was 173.91±4.29, all of the above were higher than those of group A [(6.19±0.61) ng/mL, 4.97±0.30, (1.94±0.18)%, 1];S100A9 levels, IOD of S100A9 in airway epithelial cells, PAS stain area / epithelial cell area (%), relative value of MUC5AC / NADPH in group C [(10.69±0.79) ng / ml, 11.80±0.72, (10.61±0.61)%, 94.65±1.59], group D[(9.49±0.99) ng/mL, 10.39±0.59, (8.63±0.62)%, 82.08±1.12], group E [(7.54± 0.42) ng/mL, 5.63±0.84, (4.59±0.87)%, 26.30±1.94] were lower than group B, which showed a dose-dependent reduction and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion DB downregulates the expression level of Ca2+-binding protein S100A9 and the mucus secretion amount of the airway goblet cells in rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of denatonium benzoaten on α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),subepithelial collagen and airway inflammation in asthmu mice.Methods Forty-five BALB/c mice were divided into 3 groups,normal control group (A group),asthma model group (B group),asthma model+ denatonium benzoaten group(C group);α-SMA detected by using immunohistochemistry,lung sections were stained with Masson to detect subepithelial collagen,HE stain method was used to observe the airway inflammation the images were analyzed with semi-quantitative computer.Results The deposition of α-SMA、subepithelial collagen and inflammation degree in C group was significantly reduced compared with B group,the difference were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Denatonium benzoaten can improve airway remodeling in asthmatic mice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the safety and effect of one-way barbs line (absorbable sutures v - locTM180) in primary suturing of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy. Methods From July 2014 to June 2015, clinical data of 86 cases performed primary suturing in laparoscopic choledocholithotomy by the same performer were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups, One-way barbs line continuous full-thickness suture group (A group), ordinary absorption line continuous full-thickness suture group (B group) and ordinary absorption line discontinuous full-thickness suture group (C group). The bile duct suture needed time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative eating time, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative bile fistula were compared. Results All the 86 cases underwent successful operation without T tube, and none of them received alternative open operation. Compared with group B and C, time needed for bile duct suturing in A group have statistical significance. There was no significant difference in the intraoperative blood loss, postoperative eating time, postoperative hospital stay between the three groups (P > 0.05). The incidence of postoperative bile fistula in A group were none. The incidence of postoperative bile fistula in B group was 1 case, the incidence of postoperative bile fistula in C group was 2 cases.Conclusions The method of one-way barbs line continuous full-thickness suture were simple and secure in primary suturing of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy ( PEG) on the nutritional status and complication rate in patients with enteral nutrition support.Methods Sixty five patients receiving PEG from January 2008 to December 2014 were enrolled in the study.The nutritional status was examined and the incidence of complications was documented before and after PEG.Results The serum albumin, body mass index (BMI) and arm muscle circumference were (29.2 ±3.2)g/L, (18.0 ± 1.0)kg/m2, (21.1 ±1.9)cm and (32.9 ±3.0)g/L, (18.8 ±1.6)kg/m2, (23.0 ±3.0)cm before and 1 month after PEG, respectively (t=-6.798, -3.202 and -3.957, all P<0.05).Compared to those before PEG, the serum albumin, BMI and arm muscle circumference at 3 and 6 months after PEG were increased to ( 35.4 ±4.9 ) g/L, ( 19.7 ±1.4 ) kg/m2 , ( 24.9 ±2.2 ) cm ( t =-7.845, -7.202,-10.432, all P<0.05) and (37.9 ±3.7)g/L, (20.7 ±1.6)kg/m2, (26.9 ±3.7)cm (t=-14.046,-10.686, -9.827, all P<0.05), respectively.Compared to those with nasal feeding, the incidence of aspiration pneumonia was decreased from 62% ( 40/65 ) to 18% ( 10/57 ) and the incidence of reflux esophagitis was decreased from 51% (33/65) to 19% (11/57) 6 months after PEG, respectively (χ2 =24.3 and 13.5, all P<0.01).Conclusion PEG can improve nutritional status and reduce the incidence of aspiration pneumonia and reflux esophagitis for patients with enteral nutrition support.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical features,endoscopic characteristics and methods for diagnosis and treatment of ischemic colitis.Methods The clinical data of 56 patients with ischemic colitis were retrospectively analyzed.Results Ischemic colitis occurred more often in elderly patients.Male and female ratio was 1 ∶1.8.The patients often had concomitant basic diseases,such as diabetes mellitus (53.6％,30/56),hypertension (39.3％,22/56),coronary heart disease (32.1％,18/56).The main manifestations of ischemic colitis were abdominal pain (100.0％,56/56) and bloody stools (89.3％,50/56).The lesions revealed by colonoscopy were mainly located in the left colon and distributed in a segmental pattern,and the pathological changes included mucosal edema,congestion,erosion and ulceration.The prognosis was good in most cases.Conclusions Ischemic colitis should be suspected in elderly patients with acute abdominal pain and bloody stools.Early colonoscopy is helpful for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of ischemic colitis.
ABSTRACT
@#arkably increases with the development of cirrhosis,which may play an important role in the development of PHG.AG may remarkably ameliorate the degree of PHG，mainly by inhibiting the expression of iNOS in gastric musosa.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the accuracy of 16-detector row computed tomography coronary angiography in detection of hemodynamically relevant stenosis(≥50%) of the coronary artery. Methods Twenty-six patients undergoing both multi-detector row CT and conventional coronary angiography were included in this retrospective study. CT scan were obtained with collimation of 16 and rotation time of 500 ms. Retrospective electrocardiographic(ECG) gating was used for image reconstrution. The stenosis degree was detected with axial scanning and three-dimensional reformation. Results With the results of conventional coronary angiography as golden standard, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predicted value and negative predicted value of the CT angiography in detection of hemodynamically relevant stenosis(≥50%) were 90.0%, 95.5%, 94.7%, 77.6%, and 98.2% respectively. Conclusion Sixteen-detector row computed tomography coronary angiography has high clinical value with evaluating hemodynamically relevant stenosis(≥50%) of coronary artery,and could be a significant guide for diagnosis and therapy of coronary heart disease.
