RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the clinical curative effect of multiple interventional techniques with skilled manipulation in treating common bile duct stones. Methods The clinical data of 36 patients with common bile duct stones, who were treated with percutaneous transhepatic puncture of intrahepatic bile duct and multiple interventional techniques, were retrospectively analyzed. Before operation, according to CT or MRI findings the optimal puncture path was selected to perform cholangiography so as to reconfirm the position, number and size of the stones. Depending on the size of the stone, the corresponding sized lithotripsy basket and balloon were selected. The duodenal papilla was dilated by balloon, and the stone was pushed into the duodenum with a balloon. After complete removal of stones, the internal and external biliary drainage tubes were routinely implanted and remained there for two weeks. Results The operation was successfully accomplished in 35 patients, the success rate was 97.2%. Successful removal of stones with single procedure was accomplished in 32 patients, and in 3 patients the complete removal of stones was achieved by secondary procedure. No serious complications were observed during the operation. Early postoperative complications included hyperamylasemia (n=2), bile peritonitis (n=2), small amount of bloody bile (n=3) . No biliary perforation occurred. Conclusion In treating common bile duct stones, the combination use of multiple interventional techniques with skilled manipulation has high success rate, low risk and less complications, therefore, it is an effective therapeutic method
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the virulence genes and drug resistance in Vibrio parahaemolyti-cus strains isolated in Nantong City from 2015 to 2016 in order to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection and for rational use of medicines. Methods Virulence genes of tlh,tdh and trh in Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Micro-broth dilution method was used to analyze antimicrobial resistance in these strains to 15 kinds of antibiotics. Results Eighty-two Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains were all positive for tlh gene and negative for trh gene and among them,72 carried tdh gene (87.8%). Antimicrobial resistance rates of these strains to ampicil-lin,cefazolin,tetracycline and chloramphenicol were all 1.2% (1/82). Two strains (2.4%) were resist-ant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. All strains were sensitive or intermediate to another 10 kinds of antibi-otics. Conclusion From 2015 to 2016,Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains carrying virulence genes of tlh and tdh were prevalent in Nantong and no trh gene-positive strains were reported. Except ampicillin, cefazolin, tetracycline,chloramphenicol and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole these five kinds of antibiotics, the remai-ning 10 kinds of antibiotics were effective against Vibrio parahaemolyticus and could be used as the treatment of choice.
RESUMEN
Objective Pemetrexed and β-elemene can inhibit the growth of tumor cells .This study was to investigate the effect of pemetrexed combined with β-elemene on the proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer HeLa cells. Methods Cervical cancer HeLa cells were treated with pemetrexed at the concentrations of 38, 76, 152, 228, and 304μg/mL, and at 24 and 48 hours of treatment subjected to MTT for detection of their proliferation .The experiment included four groups , with the cells treated with β-elemene ( 125μg/mL) , pemetrexed ( 76 μg/mL ) , β-elemene ( 125 μg/mL ) +pemetrexed (76μg/mL), and nothing (blank control) for 24 hours, followed by determination of their proliferation and apoptosis by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. Results Pemetrexed at 38, 76, 152 and 228μg/mL inhibited the proliferation of the HeLa cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with the inhibition rates of (7.24 ±3.78), (7.94 ±4.37), (11.10 ±2.86) and (15.88 ± 3.38)%at 24 hours, and (16.69 ±0.95), (22.54 ±1.53), (24.48 ±0.92) and (25.54 ±3.61)%at 48 hours, both with statis-tically significant differences between any two groups (P<0.05).Significant differences were also found in the proliferation rate of the same concentration of pemetrexed at the two time points (P<0.05).The combination of pemetrexed and β-elemene showed an inhibi-tion rate of (49.95 ±5.76)%at 24 hours, remarkably higher than (24.36 ±5.59)%in theβ-elemene group and (10.69 ±1.37)%in the pemetrexed group (P<0.01). Conclusion Pemetrexed combined with β-elemene can significantly inhibit the proliferation and synergistically accelerate the apoptosis of HeLa cells .
