ObjectiveTo determine the effects of different volume fluid resuscitation on intestinal injury and the permeability of intestine in hemorrhagic shock rats. MethodsSprague-Dawley male rats(n=72) were randomly equally divided into 4 groups after the model establishment of blood pressure-controlled hemorrhage, 45, 30, and 15 mL/(kg·h) of fluid resuscitation were performed in high dosage of resuscitation(HLR), moderate dosage of resuscitation(MLR), and low dosage of resuscitation(LLR) group respectively, but rats of Sham group didn't accept fluid resuscitation. After resuscitation, ten centimeters ileum was harvested for testing intestinal permeability. Then 6 rats of each group were sacrificed at 24, 48, and 72 hours after fluid resuscitation respectively. Over the specified time interval, blood was collected for testing levels of lactic acid and plasma tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). The ileums of 3 resuscitation groups were obtained for testing the ratio of wet weight to dry weight and observing the histological changes. ResultsAfter resuscitation, the intestinal permeability was higher in HLR group(P<0.05). At 3-8 hours after resuscitation, rats of Sham group were all died, and the other rats of 3 groups were all alive. The level of plasma lactic acid was lower in LLR group than those of other 2 groups at 24 hours(P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α were higher in HLR group than those of other 2 groups at 24, 48, and 72 hours(P<0.05), and at 48 hours, level of TNF-α in LLR group was lower than MLR group(P<0.05). At 24 hours after resuscitation, ratio of intestinal wet weight to dry weight in LLR group was the lowest, and HLR group was the highest(P<0.05). According to the histopathology, intestinal injuries of the 3 groups were tend to be remission with the time, and at 48 and 72 hours after resuscitation, intestinal villus of LLR group appeared to be normal. ConclusionLimited fluid resuscitation of 15 mL/(kg·h) could not only decrease the levels of lactic acid and TNF-α, but also moderate the intestinal permeability and the intestinal injury in early stage after shock and surgery.
Objective To estimate the prevalence rate and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in rural residents in Changzhi. Methods With the help of an established resident health data, a epidemiology study was performed on 63 409 residents (ge;15 years old) in the rural area of Changzhi; while the standard of diagnosis of diabetes was in accordance with the standard made by WHO in 1997. Diabetes was diagnosed in 2632 residents, and these patients underwent the investigation and examination including the disease history, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, visual acuity, ocular diseases and intraocular pressure. The standard of DR was drawn according to the diagnosis standard made by Chinese Ocular Fundus Diseases Society, Chinese Ophthalmological Society, Chinese Medical Association in 1985. The data was statistically analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software. Results A total of 57 500 residents underwent the examination with the participating rate of 90.68%; 2632(4.58%) were diagnosed as with diabetes, in whom 986 were with DR (with DR prevalence of 37.46%). The duration of diabetes was the independent risk factor of DR (r=0.210,P<0.001). The duration of diabetes and combined with hypertension were the influence factors of the development of DR. The visual acuity in residents with or without DR differed significantly(P<0.01). The level of HbA1c was positively related to DR. Conclusions The incidence of DR is high in residents with diabetes in eastern countryside area of Changzhi. The duration of diabetes and combined with hypertension were the influence factors of the development of DR. The level of HbA1c may be the important indicator which can monitor the occurrence and development of DR in patients with diabetes.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on the composition of intestinal microbiota among the biliopancreatic limb, the Roux limb, and the common channel in normal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. MethodsSixteen SD rats were randomly divided into sham surgery group (Sham group) and RYGB group, each group enrolled 8 rats. Rats in Sham group underwent sham surgery of end to end anastomosis in situ after cutting off the stomach and jejunum, and rats in RYGB group underwent RYGB. Then quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR) method was used to detect the expression of total bacteria, Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides, and Lactobacillus mRNA at biliopancreatic limb, the Roux limb, and the common channel. At last the comparison of mRNA in 4 kinds of bacteria was performed. ResultsCompared with Sham group, the weight of rats in RYGB group was lower at 8 weeks after surgery (P<0.01). RT-PCR results showed that, expression levels of total bacteria, Bifidobacterium, and Bacteroides mRNA at the Roux limb and the common channel in RYGB group were higher than corresponding site of rats in Sham group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference at biliopancreatic limb between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Expression level of Lactobacillus mRNA at the Roux limb in RYGB group was higher than corresponding site of rats in Sham group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference at biliopancreatic limb and the common channel between the 2 groups (P>0.05). ConclusionRYGB can significantly improve expression levels of the total bacteria, Bifidobacterium, and Bacteroides mRNA at Roux limb and the common channel, increase the level of Lactobacillus mRNA at Roux limb, while has no influence on biliopancreatic limb.
