ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of MIF mRNA and TNF-α in the lung tissue of rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and explore their mechanism of action in acute lung injury during the course of ANP. Methods A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10 in each group) : the sham operation (SO) group, ANP 3h group, 6h group, 12h group. The model of ANP was induced by retrograde injection of 5% sodium tanrocholate (0. 1 ml/100 g) into the biliary and pancreatic duct. The level of serum amylase was determined;pancreatic and lung tissues were harvested for pathological examination, and wet/dry weight ratios were estimated. Intrapulmonary expression of MIF mRNA was assayed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. TNF-α in pulmonary homogenate was measured by immunoradiometric assay. Results Serum amylase, wet/dry weight ratios of pancreatic and lung tissues all significantly increased, and pathological injuries aggravated with time in ANP groups. Levels of TNF-α in ANP 3h, 6h, 12h group were (0.69 ± 0. 107) ng/ml, (1.64 ± 0. 10) ng/ml and (0.92 ± 0.11) ng/ml, and expression of MIF mRNA were 1.97±0.09, 2.55±0.23, 3.29±0.26, which were significantly higher than those in control group [(0. 19±0.06)ng/ml, 1.21±0.34, P<0.01]. lntrapulmonary expression of MIF mRNA was positively associated with lung pathological injuries, wet/dry weight ratio, and TNF-α(r = 0. 637, r = 0.684, r = 0.858, P < 0.01). Intrapulmonary levels of TNF-α was positively associated with lung pathological injuries, wet/dry weight ratio (r=0.540, r=0.421, P<0.01). Conclusions MIF mRNA was over- expressed and level of TNF-α was significantly increased in pulmonary tissue in rats with ANP, and this may be one of the mechanisms in the pathogenesis of lung injury in ANP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To inquire into the curative effects of combination of laproscopic cholecystomy and laparoscopic transcystic duct common bile duct exploration on cholelithiasis, cholecystolithiasis and cho-ledocholith. Methods The clinical data of 19 cases were retrospectively analyzed from Sep. 2006 to Jan.2009. Results All the operations were performed successfully. The operative time was 60～120 min, the drainage time was 3～5 d, and the postoperative hospitalization time 4～7 days. All of the patients were fol-lowed up from 3 to 6 months. No complications occurred. Conclusion Laparnscopic transcystic biliary duct exploration is safe, feasible and worth generalizing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effects of retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery in the management of diseases of adrenal glands, kidneys and ureters. Methods By using a closed puncture into retroperitoneal space to establish a surgical access ,87 patients with diseases of adrenal glands, renal cysts, ureteral calculi and ureteral deformities were operated on by means of retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. Results The surgery was successfully accomplished in 83 patients with an excellent therapeutic effect, whereas a conversion to open surgery was required in 4 patients. There were no blood transfusions or serious complications in the study. Conclusions Retroperitoneal laparoscopic operations of adrenalectomy, cyst unroofing, ureterolithotomy, ureterolysis and ureteroplasty has the advantages of minimal invasion, less blood loss and fewer complications, being an effective and practical procedure .
