Comparative effect of cane syrup and natural honey on abdominal viscera of growing male and female rats.

The high intake of refined sugars, mainly fructose has been implicated in the epidemiology of metabolic diseases in adults and children. With an aim to determine whether honey can substitute refined sugars without adverse effect, the long-term effects of natural honey and cane syrup have been compared on visceral morphology in growing rats fed from neonatal age. Honey increased the caecum and pancreas weights in male rats, which could enhance enzymatic activities of pancreas and digestive functions by intestinal microflora of caecum. Unlike honey, cane syrup caused fatty degenerations in the liver of both male and female rats. Honey enhanced intestinal villi growth, and did not cause pathology in the rodents’ abdominal viscera, suggesting potential nutritional benefit as substitution for refined sugars in animal feed.

Diagnosis and treatinent of abdominal viscera cysts with interventional ultrasounography:a report of 103 cases / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To investigate the value of clinical application of interventional ultrasounography in the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal viscera cysts(AVCs). Methods (1)One hundred and three cases of AVCs were examined by percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB) guided by ultrasonnography;the cytologic results were compared with the pathological results after operation in 28 cases. (2) The AVCs were treated with injection of 99.5% ethanol after aspiration or draining with a tube gnided by ultrasounography. Results (1) The diagnosis rate in FNAB group(91.5%) was significantly higher than that in single ultrasounogrophy group(85.4%) (P
