ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) on prognosis of septic shock in rats.Methods Thirty female Wistar rats was randomly divided into three groups: control group, septic shock group, and 5-FU group. The septic shock model was established by peritoneal injection of 1.8?109cfu/ml E. coli at the volume of 1 ml/100 g weight. The 5-FU group rats were treated intraperitonealy with 5-FU 50 mg/kg weight at 40 minutes after the septic shock model was established. All rats were killed at 6 hours after operation.The mortality, the ascites rate, the lung tissue wet weight and the lung injury score(LIS) were measured.Results The mortality, the ascites rate, the lung tissue wet weight and LIS of the septic shock group was 60%, 90%, (1.55?0.17)g,and(8.00?2.54),respectively. In 5-FU group, these parameters were 0, 10%, (1.36 ? 0.14) g,and(5.20?2.39),respectively. Compared with septic shock group, the mortality and the ascites rate of 5-FU group were significantly decreased, and the lung tissue wet weight and LIS were improved.Conclusion 5-FU can decrease the ascites rate, relieve inflammation and tissue damage.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the anatomic feature and special clinical manifestations of variant right intrahepatic bile duct draining into left hepatic bile duct near the umbilical portion. Methods Variant right intrahepatic bile ducts joining into left hepatic bile ducts near the umbilical portions were identified through cholangiograms in 52 patients, who were included in this study. Their history, clinical process and operations were reviewed. Results There were total 38 cases of intrahepatic gallstone in this group. High incidence of intrahepatic calculi was found in variant right intrahepatic bile ducts (23/38 cases, 60.52%) and left hepatic ducts (33/38 cases, 86.84%). Most of these cases were accompanied with dilatation and stricture of bile ducts in these area. The gallstones in the variant right intrahepatic bile ducts were not detected in 8 cases (8/23) and the rate of residual gallstone was as high as 86.95%(20/23). Injury of variant right intrahepatic bile duct took place when left hepatectomy was performed in one case. Conclusion Gallstone is very likely to be formed in the variant right intrahepatic bile duct due to derangement of bile hydrokinetics and compression of blood vessel. Special attention should be paid to the diagnosis and operation of this abnormity.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of 5 fluorouracil (5 FU) on regulating the inflammatory and anti inflammatory cytokines in acute pancreatitis(AP) in rats, and to investigate the mechanism of treatment of AP with 5 FU. Method SD male rats were divided randomly into 3 groups:false operation group (n=6), AP group(n=24) and 5 FU treatment group(n=24). Then, AP group and 5 FU treatment group redivided respectively into 3 subgroups: After the AP model sut up or after 5 Fu treatment 2, 6 and 24 h subgroups (n=8). The animals were killed at the blood samples were taken for measurement of TNF ?, IL 1, IL 6, IL 10 and TGF ?. The wet weight of pancreatic tissue and blood amylase also were observed. Results Both serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF ?,IL 1 and IL 6) and anti inflammatory cytokines (IL 10 and TGF ?) in AP group increased significantly (P
ABSTRACT
Objective To intensify clinical evaluation on the manifestation, diagnosis and treatment of primary malignant duodenal tumors. Method The clinical data of 81 patients with primary malignant duodenal tumors from 1990 to 2002 were analyzed retrospectively. Result Tumors located above, around and below the duodenal papilla accounted for 16%, 78%, 6% respectively. The common clinical presentations were weight loss(72%)?abdominal pain(64%)?jaundice(45%)?alimentary tract bleeding(40%)?vomiting(33%) and anemia(24%). The preoperative diagnosis rate was 80%. Pancreatoduodenectomy was performed in 54 cases, bypass operation in 21 cases, segmental duodenectomy and simple laparotomy in 2 cases each. The postoperative 3- and 5- year survival rate was 36% and 21% for patients undergoing curative resection. In those with bypass operation, the survival time was between 1～18 months. Two cases undergoing segmental duodenectomy died within one year. Conclusion Patients usually lack special symptoms and signs, early diagnosis is fairly difficult, pancreaticoduodenectomy performed for purpose of curative resection could improve the prognosis of this malignancy.
