ObjectiveTo determine the characters of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst due to acute pancreatitis and effects of surgical treatment with two kinds of procedure (internal drainage or external drainage). MethodsOne hundred and fifteen cases hospitalized during recent ten years were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsWe found that necrotic tissue existed in the pseudocyst in most cases and infection might occur in these pseudocyst. Although effect of two kinds of surgery was similar, the clinical course was different. The complications after surgery were fewer in patients underwent internal drainage than that with procedure of external drainage, and average hospital day was 7d in cases with internal drainage and 11d in cases with external one respectively. Surgery of internal drainage used in treatment was not only successful in noninfectious and single pseudocyst, but in infectious or multiple seudocyst.ConclusionInternal drainage should be used in most cases and considered as the first selection in surgery of pseudocyst due to acute pancreatitis.
ObjectiveTo investigate the aim antigen coursing the hyperacute rejection of xenotransplantation. MethodsDocuments about hyperacute rejection in xenotransplantation were reviewed and summarized in detail. ResultsPig is thought to be one of the ideal donors of xenotransplantation, but the major obstacle is hyperacute rejection mediated by complement that is activated though human serum. αGal is recognized as the major antigen and its expression is controlled by α1,3 galactosyltransferase. Immunoabsorption of preexsisted antibody, enzymatic digestion of αGal, knockout αGT gene and transgenic technology have been used to solve this problem. Even so, there remain other antigens which can combine with natural antibodies in human serum, such as, 40×103 molecule in erythrocyte, 210×103, 105×103 and 50×103 antigen in pig embryo brain cell, etc. Conclusion αGal is the major antigen which course the hyperacute rejection. Besides αGal, many nonalphagal need further investigation.
Objective To study the clinical and angiographic features in ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients with spontaneous reperfusion. Methods A total of 519 patients with STEMI underwent Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from January 2006 to December 2009 in Anzhen Hospital were enrolled. All patients were divided into the spontaneous reperfusion group (TIMI flow gradeⅢ ) and the non-spontaneous reperfusion group (TIMI flow grade 0-Ⅱ ) according to the TIMI flow grade before primary PCI. The incidence rate of spontaneous reperfusion through coronary angiography before primary PCI was observed, and the clinical relevant factors and angiographic lesion features of spontaneous reperfusion were analyzed. Results There were significant differences in age, CTnI peak value, high thrombus burden, and lesion location in distant LAD (P=0.000, 0.000, 0.002, 0.000, and 0.003, respectively) between the two groups. But there were no significant differences in gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking history, hyperlipemia, angina pectoris history, culprit vessel distribution, lesion distribution in LCX and RCA, and collateral circulation between the two groups (Pgt;0.05 for all). Conclusion Compared to the patients without spontaneous reperfusion, patients with spontaneous reperfusion are younger in age, lower in CTnI peak value, and heavier in thrombosis burden, with culprit lesions mostly located in the distant LAD.
Objective To search evidence in the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) for guiding chnical practice. Methods We searched MEDLINE (February, 1970~July, 2005 ) and SUMSEAILCH (till July, 2005 )to identify systematic reviews(SIL), randomized controlled trials(RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) in the treatment of Ph-positive ALL. Results One RCT and 8 CCTs were identified. The results showed that Ph-positive ALL had a very poor prognosis . Chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were the two main ways to treat the disease. Outcome of conventional chemotherapy treatment for adults with the disease was poor. Outcome of treatment with hyper-CVAD and imatinib mesylate was better and BMT was the only way which could potentially cure the disease. Conclusions Treatment of Ph-positive ALL with hyper-CVAD and imatinib mesylate may induce higher remission rate and disease free survival rate. BMT is the best way to cure the disease.
bjectiveTo observe the effecacy of immunosuppressive agents on modulation of the disorders of inflammatory and antiinflammatory cytokines in acute pancreatitis, and to investigate the mechanism of treatment of acute pancreatitis with immunosuppressive agents. MethodsSD male rats were divided into 6 groups: group 1, the normal control group (n=6); group 2, acute pancreatitis induced by ductual injection of 5%sodium cholate sulfur at the volume of 1.0 ml/kg without treatment (n=8). After the pancreatitis were induced, the rest rats were injected intravenously with 5Fu 40 mg/kg (group 3, n=6); or methylprednisolone 30 mg/kg (group 4, n=6); or cyclophosphamide 20 mg/kg (group 5, n=6); or methotrexate 1.2 mg/kg (group 6, n=6). Twentyfour hours afteroperation, the animals were killed, the blood samples were taken for measurement of TNFα, IL1, IL6 (by bioassay), and IL10, TGFβ (by ELISA) as well as amylase. ResultsThe inflammatory cytokines (TNFα,IL1,IL6 ) and the antiinflammatory cytokines (IL10 and TGFβ), in blood of acute pancreatitis were increased significantly. After treated with immunosuppressive agents, both the inflammatory and antiinflammatory cytokines were decreased in different degrees. Some indexes of the severity of acute pancreatitis, such as amylase and pancreatic weight were improved obviously.ConclusionImmunosuppressive agents can regulate inflammatoryassociated cytokines increased remarkably in the acute pancreatitis. Therefore, improvement of acute pancreatitis can be achieved through rectifying the abnormal immunity and relieving the pathophysiological disorders of the acute pancreatitis by immunosuppressive agents.
