One hundred and ten patients with gastric ulcer underwent Roux-en-Y gastroentestinal reconstruction. The results of follow up from 1 to 14 years are as follows: Visick’s grade Ⅰ 89 cases (80.90%), grade Ⅱ 17 cases (15.45%), grade Ⅲ 3 cases (2.70%), and grade Ⅳ 1 case (0.90%). Two patients (1.80%) complicated with superficial marginal ulcer, and 7 cases (6.30%) with mild gastric retention. Neither alkaline reflux gastritis nor gastric remnant cancer was found in all this patients. The authors consider that Roux-en-Y gastroentestinal reconstruction could effectively prevent and treat alkaline gastritis, and there was no afferent loop complication in this series. The rate of recurrence and gastric retention was not higher than that of the Billroth operation.
ObjectiveTo investigate the change of cellmediated immunity in gut mucosa after major hepatectomy and to study its relationship with the bacteria translocation.MethodsFortyeight Spraguedawley adult male rats were randomly allocated into two groups, the sham operation group and the operation group. Besides without the hepatectomy, the sham operation group has the same course with the operation group. Seventy percent hepatectomy rats are divided as postoperative 6 h group (n=6)，12 h group (n=6)，24 h group (n=6) and 72 h group (n=6). Sixhour, 12hour, 24hour and 72hour after operation specimens were taken from jejunoileum respectively. Immunohistochemical staining was performed on frozen sections and image pattern analysis was used. We also investigate the change of liver function. ResultsTwentyfour hours and 72 hours after 70% hepatectomy, there was a significant reduction in the number of CD3+，CD4+and CD8+ T lymphocytes in the mucosal lamina propria of the operation group compared with the sham operation group （Plt;0.05）. There was significant difference between these two groups in liver function change （Plt;0.05）.ConclusionThere is an altered pattern of intestinal mucosal T lymphocytes after major hepatectomy, then the local cellmediated immunity was depressed, which may be the cause of translocation of enteric bacteria.
ObjectiveTo study the change and significance of the serum nitric oxide (NO) level in patient with obstructive jaundice complicated with renal dysfunction. MethodsThe level of NO, BUN, Cr in serum and the activity of NOS in 25 patients with obstructive jaundice and renal dysfunction and 26 healthy adults was studied.ResultsThe patients’ serum NO level and the activity of NOS were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01)，whereas the serum BUN and Cr levels were significantly higher than those in control group(P＜0.01). The linear correlation analysis showed that the serum NO had a negative correlation between serum BUN and Cr level (P＜0.01). ConclusionThe patients with obstructive jaundice and renal dysfunction may lead to the decrease of serum NO level. NO may have some protective effects to the renal function during obstructive jaundice.
