ObjectiveTo determine the nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in patients with acute cholangitis of severe type (ACST) and correlate the degree of NFkB activation with severity of biliary tract infection and clinical outcome.MethodsTwenty patients with ACST were divided into survivor group (14 cases) and nonsurvivor group (6 cases). Other 10 patients undergoing elective gastrectomy or inguinal hernia repair were selected as control group. Peripheral blood samples were taken 24 hours after operation, PBMC was separated and nuclear proteins were isolated from PBMC, and NFkB was determined with electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The levels of TNFα, IL6 and IL10 in plasma were determined by using an enzymelinked immunoassay (ELISA). ResultsThe NFkB activity was 5.02±1.03, 2.98±0.51 and 1.02±0.34 respectively in three groups. It was increased in all patients with ACST, versus the control group (P＜0.05), and the patients of nonsurvivor group had higher levels of NFkB activation than those of survivor group (P＜0.05). The levels of TNFα and IL6 were (496.28±52.35) ng/L and (578.13±67.72) ng/L in nonsurvivor group; (284.47±39.41) ng/L and (318.67±34.92) ng/L in survivor group; (89.43±10.39) ng/L and (101.27±13.47) ng/L in control group. All patients with ACST had increased levels of TNFα and IL6, which were many fold greater than that of control group, and there was an evidence of significantly higher levels in nonsurvivor group than in survivor group (P＜0.05). All patients had also increased levels of IL10 as compared to control group (P＜0.05), but the IL10 concentrations in plasma were not significantly higher in nonsurvivors than that of in those survivors (Pgt;0.05). ConclusionNFkB activation in PBMCs in patients with ACST
目的 总结超声引导下经皮经肝穿刺胆管引流术(PTCD)的优、缺点,为临床治疗重症急性胆管炎（SAC）提供参考。方法 回顾性分析我院1994年8月至2008年7月期间对156例老年SAC患者行在超声引导下的PTCD治疗的临床资料。结果 156例行PTCD均获成功,1次穿刺成功140例，其成功率达89.7%（140/156）; 16例首次穿刺失败后再次穿刺均成功。无一例发生腹腔出血、胆汁性腹膜炎等并发症。本组引流效果较好,中毒危象缓解，黄疸减退，肝功能改善。结论 PTCD较外科手术创伤小、操作简单、快速,具有微创的特点,对老年、有严重合并症及复杂疾病不能耐受手术及麻醉的SAC患者，其作为紧急抢救措施切实可行,并为后期施行根治性手术争取了时间。
