ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the characteristics of electromyography of sphincter of Oddi (SO) in patients with cholelithiasis after common bile duct exploration,and investigate new methods for detecting the motility of SO.Methods The basal pressure of SO(SOBP)and electromyography of SO were detected in 33 patients with cholelithiasis who were reexamined at the Southwest Hospital from January to October,2010.All patients were divided into low SOBP group,normal SOBP group and high SOBP group.The amplitude,frequency and duration of SO spike burst(SOSB)of the three groups were compared.Results The numbers of patients in the low SOBP group,normal SOBP group and high SOBP group were 14,13 and 6,respectively.The mean SOBP of the low SOBP group,normal SOBP group and high SOBP group were(3.1±1.2),(18.5±7.6),(39.8±4.8)mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa).The amplitude,frequency and duration of SOSB were(41±27)μV,(5.8±1.6) times/minutes and(2.7±0.6)s in the low SOBP group,and(150±71)μV,(6.9±1.4)times/minutes and (3.4±0.7)s in the normal SOBP group,and(301±109)μV,(7.8±1.2)times/minutes and(4.2±0.7)s in the high SOBP group,respectively,with significant difference among the three groups(F=50.751,4.293,13.159,P<0.05).Conclusion The results of electromyography of SO could reflect the function of SO,and it is possible to be a prospective method in the clinical research of SO.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the condensation mechanism of aminoglucomannan(AGM)with plasmid DNA and some influencing factors in this process.Methods The polysaccharide-DNA complex was analyzed with agarose gel electrophoresis by observing the changes of DNA bands under various influencing conditions including different pH,ionic strength(NaCl concentration),temperature and plasmid DNA sorts.Results The new bands appeared in the slow migration positions after reaction between AGM and plasmid DNA,and the changes of DNA bands content were dependent on AGM concentrations.The condensation degree could be effected by pH,temperature,and ionic strength.Conclusion Our study suggests that the AGM can be condensed with plasmid DNA in proper conditions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a reversible partial obstruction model of the common bile duct(CBD) in dogs and explore the influence of partial obstruction of CBD on the motility of sphincter of Oddi(SO).Methods Adult mongrel dogs were anesthetized.In the partial obstruction(PO) group,a double ligature was performed around both a cannula(1 mm in diameter) and the common bile duct near to its bifurcation,then the cannula was withdrawn,while in the control group,only sham operation was done.The serum of venous blood was obtained before and on day 1,3,5,7,14,28 after operation.Liver specimens were obtained by biopsy on postoperative day 3,7,14.SO motility was recorded on postoperative day 28.Results All the obsrtuction of CBDs were removed in PO group,the structure of hepatocytes and liver function recovered to normal on day 28 after operation.SO basal pressure(SOBP),SO amplitude(SOAP) and frequency of SO phasic contraction(SOF) significantly decreased,whereas the duration of SO contraction did not change.Conclusion Partial obstruction of CBD inhibited the motility of SO.The clinical manifestation of this model is similar to that of patients with temporary obstructive jaundice that influenced the motility of SO.This model was relatively simple,easy and reliable.
ABSTRACT
Objective To label the amino-glucomannan(AGM) with fluram and to explore the properties of the compound of fluram-AGM in transmembrane transport.Methods After AGM was labeled with fluram,the peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) and HepG2 were respectively cultured with Fluram-AGM,then observed under fluorescence microscope with violet light as exciting light.Results Both PBMC and HepG2 showed intracellular indigotic fluorescence.Conclusion AGM can be transported into cells across cell membrane.
