Preliminary exploration on accurately preoperative evaluation of colonic lesions in slow transit constipation complicated with adult megacolon / 中华胃肠外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the application value of colonic transit test (CTT) combined with anorectal manometry (ARM), barium enema (BE) and defecography (DFG) in accurately evaluating colonic lesions of slow transit constipation complicated with adult megacolon.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data of 47 above patients admitted between October 2007 and February 2015 in the People's Hospital of Hunan Province were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients were examined with≥2 times of CTT combined with ARM and BE, and 42 cases received additional DFG at the same time, to evaluate colonic lesions before operation. Operative biopsy pathology was used as the standard. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value(PPV) and negative predictive value(NPV) of positioning in the ascending colon and caecum, transverse colon and descending colon were calculated, and the consistency was represented by Kappa test(Kappa value≥0.75 indicates good consistency, meanwhile higher Kappa value indicates better consistency). The Heikkinen score was used to evaluate defecation function at postoperative 6 months.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The age of 47 patients was from 18 to 56 years old. Compared with intraoperative findings and biopsy pathology, the diagnostic coincidence rate was 89.4% by CTT combined with BE and DFG positioning, which suggested pathology-changed colonic segment locating in the ascending colon and cecum (n=12), transverse colon (n=26) and descending colon (n=9), while intraoperative findings and biopsy pathology suggested pathology-changed colonic segment locating in the ascending colon and cecum (n=11), transverse colon (n=23) and descending colon (n=13). The sensitivity was 88.3%, specificity 93.5%, PPV 92.1%, NPV 94.9% and Kappa value was 0.827(P<0.001). Procedures performed included segmental colectomy (n=8), subtotal colectomy (n=29), total colectomy (n=10). There was no serious complication during and after operation. Defecatory function was excellent in 24 cases (60.0%), good in 10 (25.0%), and moderate in 6 (15.0%) evaluated by Heikkinen score at postoperative 6 months. A total of 40 patients were followed up from 1 to 7 years (median 3 years) and there was no long-term diarrhea and recurrence of constipation or giant colon after operation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Preoperative detection of CTT combined with ARM, BE and DFG in patients with slow transit constipation complicated with adult megacolon can make a more precise assessment of the extent of colonic lesions in advance, which has a good clinical predictive value.</p>

Therapeutic effect of 138 imported falciparum malaria patients / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objectives To summarize the clinical characteristics of imported falciparum malaria patients and the treatment so as to provide the evidences for improving the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Methods A total of 138 imported falci?parum malaria patients who received the treatment in Shandong Institute of Parasitic Diseases from January 2007 to February 2013 were adopted as the observation subjects and their clinical data were collected and analyzed. Results All the 138 pa?tients were back from African countries. The main manifestations were fever headache asthenia and hepatosplenomegaly and most of them were with decreased RBC PLT levels and increased LDH levels and 36.96%of them were misdiagnosed as respiratory diseases nephritis hepatitis and so on. Through antimalarial treatment of artemether or artesunate or dihydroartemis?inin and primaquine or dihydroartemisinin and piperaquine and symptomatic treatment the short?term and long?term cure rates were 98.55%and 94.93%respectively with 1 case unrecovered and 1 died. Conclusions Artemisinins are still the most effective antimalarial drugs for falciparum malaria. However some patients recrudesce as the Plasmodium in their body is resis?tant or insensitive to these drugs. We should pay more attention to the antimalarial and symptomatic treatments in the early stage of severe malaria so as to improve the cure rate.

The value of microsurgery for acoustic neuromas / 中华显微外科杂志

ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of microsurgery for acoustic neuromas.MethodsThe author performed a retrospective study of 63 consecutive patients after vestibular schwannomas (VSs) microsurgery with the retrosigoid approaches. The tumor was debulked firstly and dissected from surrounding neural and vascular structures by gripping the tumor capsule,and then drilled of the IAC.Intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring of facial nerve function during operation.Results Total tumor resection was achieved in 52 cases, subtotal resection was achieved in 11 cases. The anatomic preservation of facial nerve was achieved in 58 cases,the acoustic nerve was preserved anatomically in 29 cases.Fifty-eight cases received a follow-up, the mean follow-up time was 7.2 years. Two recurrent patients were found and there were no operative deaths. A long term facial nerve status:twenty-three cases were in grade Ⅰ, twenty-nine cases in grade Ⅱ ,five cases in grade Ⅲ , one cases in grade Ⅳ.Hearing level had an improvement in 9 cases and remained unchanged in 8 cases.ConclusionMicrosurgery treatment is the main choice of the treatment of VSs, could achieve better result in control of tumor and facial and acoustic nerve function restoration.

Effects of resveratrol on the transplantation of neural stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons in a rat model of Parkinson's disease / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Dopaminergic neurons differentiated from neural stem cells have been successfully used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease rats; however, the survival rate of transplanted cells has been low. Most cells die of apoptosis as a result of the formation of oxygen free radical and lipid peroxidation.OBJECTIVE: To observe resveratrol (Res) effects on survival of transplanted cells, transplanted efficacy and dopaminergic differentiation from neural stem cells in a rat model of Parkinson's disease.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized controlled animal experiments were performed at the Animal Experiment Center,Sun Yat-sen University from October 2007 to June 2008.MATERIALS: Thirty-two adult, healthy, male Sprague Dawley rats were equally and randomly assigned to model control, dopaminergic neuron, Res and combination groups. Four healthy Sprague Dawley rat embryos at gastational days 14-15 were selected and fetal rats were used for isolation and culture of neural stem cells. Res (Jingmal Biotech, Shenzhen, China) was used for this study.METHODS: Neural stem cells derived from the mesencephalon of embryonic rats were isolated and cultured in vitro, and passaged in serum-free culture medium containing epidermal growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor, and then differentiated into dopaminergic neurons in differentia.ion medium. Parkinson's disease rat models were established by the injection of 6-hydroxydopamine in each group. Rats in the dopaminergic neuron group was injected with 3 pL cell suspension (1×10 cells/μL) containing dopaminergic neurons in the corpus striatum. Rats in the Res group received 3 μL of Ras (40 mg/L).Rats in the combination group were subjected to 3 μL of Res (40 mg/L) + 3 μL cell suspension (1×105 calls/μL) containing dopaminergic neurons. Rats in the model control group received 3 ×L of DMEM/F12 culture medium.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The percentage of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in differentiated cells. The alteration of rotational asymmetry and the survival of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in graft areas of Parkinson's disease rats after transplantation.RESULTS: Flow cytometry demonstrated that survival rate of tyrosine hydroxytase-positive neurons was (17.8 ±4.2)% at 6 days following differentiation. Compared to the model control group, the rotational asymmetry was significantly improved at 10 days (P < 0.01), was significantly decreased at 20 days following transplantation in the combination group (P < 0.01). At 10-60 days following transplantation, the number of rotational asymmetry was significantly lower in the combination group than in the dopaminergic neuron group (P < 0.01). Tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons were not determined in the Res and model control groups. The number of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons was significantly more in the combination group than in the dopaminergic neuron group (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: Res can increase survival rate of transplanted cells in the corpus striatum, and improve rotational asymmetry in rat models of Parkinson's disease following transplantation of dopaminergic neurons differentiated from neural stem cells.Ke CL, Chen BL, Yu ZH, Huang ZS.Effects of resveratrol on the transplantation of neural stem call-derived dopaminergic neurons in a rat model of Parkinson's disease.Zhongguo Zuzhi Gongcheng Yanjiu yu Linchuang Kangfu. 2009;13(27): 5281-5285.[http://www.crter.on http://en.zglckf.com]
