  • Clinical Analysis of Abdominal Wall Endometriosis

    ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical characteristics, treatment and prevention of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). MethodsA retrospective analysis of 295 cases of AWE from February 2007 to August 2011 in our hospital was performed. ResultsAll of the patients had abdominal operations before and 99% of them had a history of caesarean section. The mean age of the patients was (31.55±4.52) years old. The average size of the mass was (2.66±1.12) cm, significantly larger than the estimation of ultrasonography before operation which was (1.91±0.83) cm (P<0.001). No relapse was discovered five months to three years after the operation. ConclusionIt is easy to diagnose abdominal wall endometriosis through medical history, clinical characteristics, physical signs and ultrasonic assessment. The prevention of AWE is very important. Operation is still the best treatment for AWE.

  • Protective Mechanism of Resveratrol on Kidney Injury of Obstructive Jaundice in Rat

    ObjectiveTo explore the protective mechanism and effect of the resveratrol for kidney injury of obstructive jaundice. MethodsThe rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham operation group receiving laparotomy without bile duct ligation (BDL), the obstructive jaundice group with BDL, and the obstructive jaundice + resveratrol group given resveratrol following BDL. The levels of total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine (Cr) in the serum were tested. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, glutathione (GSH) level in the renal tissues were detected. The expressions of the silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) proteins were tested by Western blot. The expression of SIRT1 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR and the renal cell apoptosis was examined by TUNEL staining. Results①Compared with the sham operation group, the levels of serum TBIL, DBIL, BUN and Cr were significantly higher (P < 0.05); the activity of SOD and level of GSH, and the expressions of SIRT1 mRNA and SIRT1 protein in the renal tissues were signi-ficantly lower (P < 0.05); the content of MDA, the expression of NF-κB protein, and the rate of cell apoptosis in the renal tissues were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the obstructive jaundice group.②Compared with the obstructive jaundice group, the levels of serum TBIL, DBIL, BUN and Cr were significantly lower (P < 0.05); the activity of SOD and level of GSH, and the expressions of SIRT1 mRNA and SIRT1 protein in the renal tissues were significantly higher (P < 0.05); the content of MDA, the expression of NF-κB protein, and the rate of cell apoptosis in the renal tissues were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in the obstructive jaundice+resveratrol group. ConclusionThe resveratrol could alleviate renal damage and play a beneficial role to resist inflammation, oxidation, and apoptosis by activating the SIRT1 which probably inhibits the expression of NF-κB protein and promotes the activity of SOD in cholestatic kidney injury.

  • Clinical Analysis of Unsuspected Gallbladder Cancer Diagnosed During or after Laparoscopic

    Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of laparoscopic unexpected gallbladder cancer (UGC), and to explore the impact of TNM stage and secondary surgery timing on postoperative survival. Methods Clinical data of 70 UGC patients who treated in Xianyang Hospital of Yanan University and The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from January 2008 to January 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The influencing of TNM staging and secondary surgery timing on the prognosis of UGC patients were analyzed by single factor analysis. Results Of the 70 patients before operation, 68 patients (97.2%) were diagnosed as calculus of gallbladder, 1 patient (1.4%) was diagnosed as gallbladder polyps, 1 patient (1.4%) was diagnosed as intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct stone. TNM staging: 2 patients (2.9%) in stage 0, 9 patients (12.9%) in stage Ⅰ, 50 patients (71.4%) in stage Ⅱ, 6 patients (8.6%) in stage Ⅲa, 1 patient (1.4%) in stage Ⅲb, 1 patient (1.4%) in stage Ⅳa, and 1 patient (1.4%) in stage Ⅳb. Fifty-five patients (78.6%) were confirmed by intraoperative frozen section examination, and 15 patients (21.4%) were confirmed after laparoscopic surgery. There were 66 patients were followed-up for 2-79 months, and the median follow-up time was 28-month, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 92.3%, 70.7%, and 53.7% respectively. The survival curves of stage 0, Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ+Ⅳ were differed significantly (P <0.01), the survival situation was best in patients in stage 0 and Ⅰ, but worst in patients in stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ. There was no statistical difference between the prognosis of patients underwent one-stage surgery and those underwent two-stage surgery (P=0.73). Conclusions A large proportion of UGC are in stage Ⅱ. For UGC patients, the prognosis is related with the clinical stage, so the surgical approach does not worsen the prognosis, regardless whether the tumor is detected during or after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

  • The Role of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α in Pancreatitis Associated Adrenal Cells' Apoptosis of Severe Acute Pancreatitis

    ObjectiveTo investigate The role of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in pancreatitis-associated adrenal cells' apoptosis of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). MethodsForty Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (SO group) and SAP group by random number method, the SAP group was divided into 3, 6, 12, and 24 h 4 subgroups, 8 rats in each group. SAP model was induced by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the bilipancreatic duct. At 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after operation, serum amylase and lipase was measured, adrenal injury was evaluated by histological examination, apoptosis of the adrenal cells was observed by TUNEL method, and expressions of TNF-α and Caspase-3 protein were detected by Western blot. ResultsThe levels of serum AMY and LIP, histopathological scores of pancreatic tissues and adrenal tissues at each time point after operation in SAP group increased significantly than SO group (P < 0.05). With the duration extension of SAP, the apoptosis index of adrenal cells in SAP group progressively heightened, and were higher than those in the SO group (P < 0.05). And the expressions of TNF-α and Caspase-3 protein in adrenal tissues of SAP group gradually increased, at 24 h this data slightly decreased, but still higher than SO group (P < 0.05). ConclusionTNF-α may be involved in the pathogenesis of adrenal injury in SAP rats by activate the protein expression of Caspase-3.
