ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the difference in gastric residual volume (GRV) between singledose and split-dose bowel preparation before colonoscopy under general anesthesia.Methods From October 8th to December 30th in 2016,the out-patients undergoing gastroscopy and colonoscopy with anesthesia services on the same day were selected and divided into the traditional single-dose bowel preparation group and split-dose bowel preparation group.The GRV and intestinal preparation quality were compared between the two groups.T test was used for statistical analysis and multiple linear regression analysis was performed for the influence factors of GRV analysis.Results A total of 121 patients were enrolled,60 patients in the spilt-dose bowel preparation group and 61 in the traditional single-dose bowel preparation group.The mean GRV of the split-dose bowel preparation group was (17.3 ± 12.2) mL,which was lower than that of the single-dose bowel preparation group ((23.7 ± 14.6) mL),and the difference was statistically significant (t =2.642,P=0.009).The score of intestinal preparation quality of the split-dose bowel preparation group was 8.05 ± 0.85,which was higher than that of the single-dose bowel preparation group (7.67±1.19),and the difference was statistically significant (t =-2.002,P=0.048).Fasting time was related with GRV (odd ratios (OR)=1.732,95％ contidence interval (CI) O.299 to 3.168,P=0.018).Conclusion The GRV of patients with split-dose bowel preparation before colonoscopy is lower than that of traditional single-dose bowel preparation,thus reducing the risk of aspiration during anesthesia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the screening of peroxisome pathway reactive oxygen species (ROS) oxidative stress gene and its correlation with the antitumor sensitivity of artesunate against pancreatic cancer. Methods Based on microarray mRNA expressions of 55 tumor cell lines in the National Cancer Institute common database,peroxisome pathway-related key genes which were significant correlation with half-inhibitory concentration (IC50 )values of artesunate antitumor activity against human pancreatic cancer were selected by Kendall test.The candidate genes associated with artesunate sensitivity were identified and their mRNA expressions in pancreatic cancer cells were tested using fluorescent quantitative PCR.The contents of peroxi-dase in pancreatic cancer cells were detected through the DAB staining.Results Thirteen key genes mRNA expressions in peroxidase pathways were significantly correlated with IC50 values for artesunate antitumor activi-ty.Compared with normal liver cells HL-7702 (1.00),CRAT (2.89 ±0.06),PEX11B (1.90 ±0.07)and PEX16 (1.35 ±0.07)mRNA expression levels were significantly increased in pancreatic cancer Panc-1 cells which sensitive to artesunate (t =33.00,P (1.43 ±0.03),SOD1 (2.07 ±0.04)and SOD2 (1.15 ±0.01)mRNA expression levels were also signifi-cantly increased in Panc-1 cells which sensitive to artesunate (t =11.71,P <0.01;t =35.85,P <0.01;t =13.22,P <0.01).However,PEX12 (0.51 ±0.02),CAT (0.47 ±0.02),PRDX1 (0.43 ±0.01),and SOD1 (0.44 ±0.01)mRNA expression levels in pancreatic cancer BXPC-3 cells which resistant to artesunate were significantly lower than that of HL-7702 cells (t =37.53,P <0.01;t =16.52,P <0.01;t =84.20, P <0.01;t =48.24,P <0.01).DAB staining showed that the positive expression rate of peroxisomal content was apparently higher in Panc-1 cells (61.5%)than that of HL-7702 cells (43.8%),with a significant difference (χ2 =16.11,P <0.01).Conclusion Peroxisome and its related ROS antioxidant enzymes CAT, PRDX1,SOD gene expression may be the important factors that affect artesunate antitumor activity against human pancreatic cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the reliability of the Boston bowel preparation scale (BBPS) for the assessment of bowel preparation quality. Methods Demonstration video of Boston bowel preparation scale provided by Boston Medical Center were viewed by 49 clinicians,who came from several hospitals in Guangdong province and participated in an education conference.Then 3 testing colonoscopy videos were scored with BBPS and inter-observer reliability was assessed. 13 participants repeated the above test 3 months later,and intra-observer reliability was assessed.Results The correlation coefficient of inter-observer for BBPS scores was 0.987 (95％ CI:0.949 - 1.000 ),and that of intra-observer was 0.713(95 ％ CI:0.452 -0.849).Conclusion BBPS is a reliable measure of bowel preparation,while the validity of BBPS deserves further analysis.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the biological effects and its mechanisms of ascorbic acid on pancreatic cancer PANC1 cells. Methods PANC1 cells were treated by ascorbic acid of different concentrations (0 ～40 mmol/L) for 24,48,72 hours.The proliferation of PANC1 cells was analyzed by MTT method; cell cycle and apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry (FCM); inverted microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe cell morphology. The membrane potential of mitochondria were mearured by with JC-1 staining and FCM.Meanwhile,the changes of cell morphology and mitochondrial membrane potential induced by ascorbic acid after pretreatment with hydrogen peroxidescavenging enzyme (catalase) and red blood cells were also detected. Results Ascorbic acid in pharmacologic concentrations selectively inhibited the proliferation of PANC1 cells in a dose and time dependent manner.PANC1 cells were arrested in G2/M phase after treatment with 5 mmol/L ascorbic acid [ (32.55 ± 7.14)％ vs (22.00 ±1.27)％,t =5.808,P＜0.05],but there was no changes on apoptosis rate [ (1.98 ± 1.80)％ vs (1.09 ±0.16)％ ].Inverted microscope and transmission electron microscopy showed that oncosislike cell death of PANC1 cells was induced after treatment with ≥5 mmol/L ascorbic acid.Mitochondrial membrane potential of PANC1 cells was significantly lower than that of the control group in a dose dependent manner.The descent of mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with catalase and red blood cells,and the degree of cell oncosis was attenuated.ConclusionsAscorbic acid significantly inhibited the proliferation of pancreatic cancer PANC1 cells in vitro.Ascorbic acid induced PANC1 cell oncosis,but not apoptosis.The possible mechanisms of inducing oncosis may be related to the descent of mitochondrial membrane potential.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of dysadherin gene silencing on metastasis and invasion in pancreatic cancer cell line PANC1,BxPC3 in vitro.Methods PANC1 and BxPC3 cells were divided into dysa group,negative siRNA control group(HK),liposomes control group(control),dysa group and HK group were tranfected by dysadherin siRNA and Negative siRNA,respectively.The expression of dysadherin mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemical method.Transwell test was used to evaluate the invasion ability of pancreatic cancer cells.Results After transfected by dysadherin siRNA,the dysadherin mRNA levels in PANC1 and Bxpc3 cells were decreased by 95.4% and 52.1%.The expression of dysadherin protein was also down-regulated by 91.2% and 83.6%,respectively,when compared with HK groups (P＜0.05 ).The numbers of invasive cells migrated in Transwell in PANC1 cells control group,HK group and dysa group were 163.2±15.5,154.4±17.3 and 53.6±7.9;the numbers of invasive cells in BxPC cells control group,HK group and dysa group were 30.7±3.2,27.5±2.8 and 4.7±2.4,respectively.The numbers in dysa group were significantly lower than those of HK group and control group (P＜0.01 ).Conclusions Silencing the dysadherin gene of PANC1,BxPC3 by RNA interference could significantly inhibit the invasive and migratory ability of canceroas cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective to study the characteristic typing of Helicobacter pylor(Hp)phenotypes and their sub-phenotypes in the patients with duodenal bulb ulcers(DU),and its clinical significance. Methods One hundred thirty-five cases with DU and 140 casses with chronic superficial gastritis were enrolled in this study. Determinations of serum cytotoxin-associated gene protein A (CagA),vacuolating cyto-toxin A(VacA),urease (Ure)A,UreB antibodies and their sub-phenotypes by immunoblotting were carried ou. Results Positive rate of middle-phenotypes of Hp infection in DU was significantly lower than that in chronic superficial gastritis (21.5%vs 27.9%,P<0.05).VacA and CagA antibodies might express alone. There had no significant difference among the expression rate of phenotype CagA, VacA antibodies and their sub-phenotype. But expression rate of Ure antibodies in Du was higher than that in chronic superficial gasstritis (P<0.05).In infection of Hp type I, the expression rate of sub-phenotypes 30ku UreA in DU was hronic superficial gastritis (P<0.05). Conclusions The VacA is not for expressing higher than that inpression of Hp exists many sub-phenotypes ( 128 ku CagA 116 ku CagA, 95 ku VacA, 91 ku CagA 0 ku UreA),and it probably causes formation of DU by comprehensive effect. Hp type I with sub phenotype expressing 30 ku Urea may be more pathogenic in DU formation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the quantity of bowel gas using plain abdominal radiographs. Methods Plain abdominal radiograph were digitized and transmitted to a computer in 48 IBS patients and 25 normal controls. The quantity of bowel gas, determined as the pixel value on images and standardized by physique, was defined as the gas volume score (GVS). The ?2s of GVS in the control group was used as the normal score. The relationship between GVS and subtype of IBS was analyzed. Results The mean GVS of normal control was 0.055?0.012, and coefficient of variation was 21.8%, and all subjects were in normal score. The mean GVS was 0.076?0.027 for the constipation type IBS, significantly higher than that for control ( t =3.599, P 0.05) and the control in the mean GVS. However, the coefficient of variation in the diarrhea type IBS was as high as 66.7%, and low score was seen in 42.9% of patients and high score in 14.3%.Conclusions There is a significant subtype related change of bowel gas volume in IBS patients. The bowel gas is increased in the constipation type, and decreased markedly in the diarrhea type.
