  • Clinical Analysis of Diagnosis and Treatment of Laparoscopic Postcholecystectomy Syndrome: A Report of 150 Cases

    Objective To discuss the pathogeny, treatment and prophylactic measures of postcholecystectomy syndrome (PCS). Methods The clinical data of 150 patients with laparoscopic PCS in our department from October 2000 to March 2009 were analyzed. Results Etiological factors were found in 131 patients: one hundred and twelve cases were due to the reasons of biliary system, including bile duct residual stones after cystic resection, the injury bile duct stenosis, a long residual cystic canal, nipple benign stricture, bile duct tumor etc; Nineteen examples were due to other reasons, including gallbladder stone merger reflux gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer, diverticulum beside duodenal nipple, and so on, which resulted in the symptoms un-release after cystic resection. Nineteen cases were not found organic lesion. In ones whose etiological factors were definite, 117 cases were treated with different surgeries according to different etiological factors; another 33 cases were treated with conservative treatment. Total 145 cases were followed up, and 139 cases in them were cured or relieved at different degrees.

  • Progression of Pathogenetic Research of Acute Pancreatitis

    Objective To summarize the recent pathogenetic researches on the acute pancreatitis. Methods Relevant references about the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis, which were published recently domestic and abroad were collected and reviewed. Results Recent experimental data indicated that the synthesis and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemotactic factors were responsible for local injury and systemic dissemination of the inflammatory mediators. Experimental studies also provided evidences implying that the immune system might play a role in the development of pancreatitis, such as the activation of lymphocyte and neutrophil. Additionally, the pancreas may completely recover or become fibrotic after an attack of acute pancreatitis and the presence of pancreatic stellate cell was known as a crucial factor in the fibrogenesis. Conclusion The pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis is very complicated, the factors that determine the ultimate severity of the attack are still unknown.

  • RESEARCH ON THE KINETIC EFFECT OF INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINES PRODUCTION IN THE MONOCYTES OF MULTIPLE SYSTEM ORGAN FAILURE PATIENTS

    The synthesis and secretion of inflammatory cytokines in the monocytes of 68 cases of multiple system organ failure (MSOF) patients was investigated by the method of MTT stained in cytokines dependent defferential cell strain. The data showed that the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor, interleukine 1 and interleukine 6 were increased (P<0.01) in the monocytes of MSOF patients. The synthesis and secretion of these inflammatory cytokines gradually increased in the monocytes after onset of MSOF. After 5 days of treatment with antibiotics and electrolytes intravenous infusion, the secretion of TNF, IL-1 and IL-6 were decreased respectively. These results suggested that the TNF, IL-1 and IL-6 are integrated into system inflammatory responese and caused the injury to the tissues and organs. The production levels of these cytokines can be regarded as the index of MSOF and its severity.

  • The Expression of High Mobility Group Protein-B1 and Alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin in Lung Tissues of Pulmonary Fibrosis Mice

    Objective To investigate the expression of high mobility group protein-B1( HMGB1)and α-smooth muscle actin( α-SMA) in Bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Methods Twenty C57BL/ 6 male mice were randomly divided into a Bleomycin group and a control group. The Bleomycin group was treated with Bleomycin( 3 mg/kg) by endotracheally injection to induce pulmonary fibrosis. The control group were treated with normal saline( NS) . Then they were sacrificed by abdominal aortic bleeding 10 days after the injection. The right lung was stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson trichrome respectively for pathological examination. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were performed to identify the protein and mRNA levels of α-SMA and HMGB1 respectively. Results The mRNA( 0. 89 ±0. 12, 0. 61 ±0. 08) and protein( 13. 66 ±1. 01, 13. 12 ±1. 33) expressions of α-SMA and HMGB1 in the Bleomycin group were all significantly higher than those of the control group( mRNA: 0. 60 ±0. 07, 0. 15 ±0. 02; protein: 8. 18 ±1. 33,7. 92 ±1. 10; all P lt; 0. 01) . Conclusions The expressions of HMGB1 and α-SMA are increased in Bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis. HMGB1 participates in the pathological process of pulmonary fibrosis probably by activation of the α-SMA expression.
