RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional support in the treatment of primary chylous reflux obstacle caused by primary lymphatic dysplasia among infants and investigate the effects of the essential components of therapeutic formula milk in treating this disease.Methods Seven infants,who were diagnosed at Beijing Shijitan Hospital between 2012 and 2014 with primary chylous reflux obstacle and aged (8.9±4.6) months at the onset,were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate effectiveness of the nutrition support and prognosis of the disease.Results After personalized enteral nutrition support (using proteins,short peptides and medium-chain triglyceride) of (8.3±2.8) months,heights and weights of all the seven infants were kept between the 3rd and 97th percentile lines,and the growth curve showed onward and upward trend.Their plasma albumin levels reached (43.7±4.4) g/L.The infants defecated 1-2 times a day and the texture of feces was formed and soft with yellow color.Conclusion Clinical symptoms and physical signs of the seven infants were improved after nutrition support,which contributed to the recovery.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of resveratrol in a rat model of complex region-al pain syndrome type Ⅰ(CRPS1). Methods 50 male SD rats were divided into control group(group A),sham operation group(group B),model group 1(group C),model group 2(group D),and model group 3(group E). Groups A,B and C received 5%DMSO;group D received ISO-1 of 1 mg/(kg·d);and group E received resveratrol of 20 mg/(kg · d)for 14 days. Pain behaviors were assessed on days 0,7,and 14. Serum levels of MIF and TNF-αwere detected by ELISA. MIF ,total ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 in sciatic nerve were detected by Western blot. Re-sults On days 7 and 14 after treatment,resveratrol injection,similar to ISO-1,significantly improved the pain threshold;serum levels of MIF and TNF-α were significantly decreased;expressions of MIF ,total ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 in sciatic nerve were also decreased significantly in group E,which were significantly lower than group C (P < 0.05). Conclusions Resveratrol can significantly improve pain threshold ,decrease expressions of MIF and p-ERK1/2 in a rat model of CRPS1,which might be involved in the inhibition of ERK signaling pathway.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the chromosome karyotype of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and its correlation with the clinical feature and efficacy.Methods The chromosomes of bone marrow/peripheral blood from 110 cases of patients with ALL were prepared after 24 hours culture,and G-banding were used to analyze karyotypes.Results Among 110 patients with ALL,71 cases (64.5 ％) had clonal chromsomal normalities,39 cases (35.5 ％) had clonal chromsomal abnormalities,24 cases (21.8 ％) had chromosome structural abnormalities,11 cases (10.0 ％) had chromosome number abnormalities,3 cases (2.7 ％) had chromosome number and structure abnormalities,one case had chromosomal abnormalities complex karyotype.Efficacy in patients with ALL with t(9;22) (q34;q11) was worse than the other patients (Fisher s exact text,P =0.045).There was no significant difference on efficacy between in adult ALL associated with t(9;22) (q34;q11) and in children with ALL (Fisher's exact text,P =0.506).Conclusion Chromosome karyotype of ALL patients is random,chromosomal translocations such as t(9;22)(q34;q1 1) and t(4;11) (q21;q23) have poorer treatment outcomes.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of N-acetylcysteine on lung injury induced by cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) in dogs.MethodsThirty-six healthy adult mongrel dogs of both sexes weighing 15-16 kg were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n =18 each):CPB group (group C) and N-acetylcysteine group(group N).Lung injury was produced by CPB.In group N N-acetylcysteine 150 mg/kg was injected iv immediately before CPB,followed by infusion at 20 mg· kg-1 · h-1 until 60 min after termination of CPB.Blood samples were taken from femoral artery before CPB (T0,baseline),30 and 60 min after termination of CPB (T1,T2 ).Oxygenation index ( OI =PaO2 ÷ FiO2 ) and respiratory index (RI =PA-(a) DO2 ÷ PaO2 ) were calculated.Six animals were sacrificed at each time point.Lung specimens were obtained for microscopic examination,and determination of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) mRNA expression,MDA content and SOD activity.ResultsCPB significantly increased RI,MDA content and TGF-β1 mRNA expression and decreased OI and SOD activity at T1 and T2 as compared with the baseline values at T0 in group C.N-acetylcysteine administered before and during CPB significantly attenuated CPB-induced above changes in OI,RI,MDA content,SOD activity and TGF-β1 mRNA expression.Microscopic examination showed that N-acetylcysteine significantly ameriorated CPB-induced lung damage.ConclusionsN-acetylcysteine administered before and during CPB can attenuate CPB-induced lung injury by inhibiting lipid peroxidation response and down-regulating TGF-β1 expression.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the changes in the transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1 ) mRNA expression in the lung in a dog model of cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB)-induced acute lung injury. Methods Thirty-six healthy adult mongrel dogs of both sexes weighing 15-16 kg were randomly assigned into control group and CPB group ( n = 18 each) . Lung injury was produced by CPB according to the method described by Williams. Six animals were killed at each of the following time points: before CPB (T0 ) and 30 and 60 min after termination of CPB (T1 , T2) in each group. Lung specimens were obtained for microscopic examination and determination of TGF-β1 mRNA expression (by RT-PCR) and MDA content. The lungs were lavaged and the protein concentration in the brancho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was determined and pulmonary permeability index (PPI) was calculated. Results Microscopic examination showed massive inflammatory cell infiltration, alveolar capillary dilatation, congestion, widened alveolar septum, massive RBC in the alveolar space and focal atelectasis in the lung in CPB group. The TGF-β1 mRNA expression and MDA content and PPI were significantly higher in CPB group than in control group. The TGF-β1 mRNA expression and MDA was positively correlated to PPI (MDA: r = 0.867, P < 0.01; PPI: r = 0.821, P < 0.01) . Conclusion TGF-β1 mRNA expression in the lung is significantly up-regulated after CPB and is an important factor contributing to CPB-induced acute lung injury.
