ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the changes of protein expression and activity of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase-II (CaMK-II) in myocardium nucleus and sarcoplasmic reticulum in experimental rabbits with heart failure (HF). Methods: A total of 16 rabbits were divided into 2 groups: Sham group and HF group, the HF model was established by volume overload plus pressure overload.n=8 in each group and all animals were treated for 7 weeks. Left ventricular structure, hemodynamic parameters and protein expression and activity of CaMK-II in myocardium nucleus and sarcoplasmic reticulum were examined and compared between 2 groups. Results: Compared with Sham group, HF group presented increased left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (1.32 ± 0.06) g/kg vs (3.61 ± 0.09) g/kg, LVEDP (-1.50 ± 0.50) mmHg vs (23.00 ± 2.37) mmHg, allP Conclusion: Increased protein expression and activity of CaMK-II in myocardium nucleus and sarcoplasmic reticulum might be one of the mechanisms for HF occurrence in experimental rabbits.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare common bile duct pressure changes after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration between primary closure of the bile duct and T-tube drainage.Methods Postoperative common bile duct pressure changes were analyzed in 30 cases of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration,including 15 cases of primary suture of the bile duct and 15 cases of T-tube biliary drainage respectively,from August 2003 to January 2004 in this hospital.Results ①The hydrostatic pressure in common bile duct was 6.0~18.5 cm H_2O(0.54~1.66 kPa).②As compared with preoperative levels,the common bile duct pressure increased slightly on the first postoperative day and decreased significantly on the fifth postoperative day in primary suture cases(q=4.531,P
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic management for bile duct and gastrointestinal injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with or without laparoscopic bile duct exploration was attempted in 9 016 consecutive patients between October 1991 and December 2002. We experienced 14 cases of bile duct injuries (0.15%) and 3 cases of gastrointestinal injuries (0.03%). One patient with circumferential injury and 10 patients with partial laceration injuries of the bile duct underwent a laparoscopic simple closure. One gastric and two duodenal injuries were successfully repaired under laparoscope. Results Expect 1 patient suffered postoperative biliary leakage and bile duct stricture 1 year after the surgery, all the patients were cured and discharged from the hospital. Conclusions Partial laceration injuries of the bile duct or gastrointestinal injuries could be treated with a laparoscopic technique. Concerning laparoscopic management of circumferential bile duct injuries, further study should be taken.
