RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of early enteral nutrition combined with additional parenteral nutrition (EEN + PN) versus TPN (total parenteral nutrition) in patients after conventional pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods From January 2009 to January 2013, 340 consecutive patients who underwent conventional PD with Child's reconstruction at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were enrolled into this single-center retrospective comparative study.There were 87 patients in the EEN + PN group and 253 patients in the TPN group.The preoperative baseline characteristics,histopathological types, intraoperative parameters and postoperative outcomes were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results There were no significant differences in the preoperative general characteristics data, pathological patterns, and intraoperative details.There were significantly higher rates in delayed gastric emptying (DGE), morbidity (15.9% vs 6.7%, P < 0.05), and pneumonia (10.3% vs 3.6%, P < 0.05);significantly prolonged nasogastric tube removal time (5.6 ± 0.2 days vs 3.9 ± 0.1 days, P<0.05), and increase in hospitalization expenses (65 397.0 ± 861.2) Yuan vs (50 663.9 ± 239.2) Yuan, P < 0.05) in the EEN + PN group when compared with the TPN group.Conclusions EEN + PN after conventional PD was associated with increased rates of DGE and pneumonia, prolonged nasogastric tube removal time, longer EN duration and increase in hospitalization expenses.Hence, EEN should only be performed prudently and selectively.
RESUMO
The magnamosis device for stage-one repair of the rectovaginal tistula consists of two arc magnets. Drawing the interrupting thread along the fistula margin via the vaginal side, and pulling the string to arrange the magnets at the fistula base along the long axis of the vagina, we made the magnamosis device automatically clipped to seal the fistula. After removing the threads we kept the device for 2-4 weeks till the natural detachment of it when the compressed tissue in between healed after vascular necrosis. This device utilizing the unique ability of magnamosis to fulfill anastomosis under inflammatory infected state reduces the current high relapse rate and colostomy drawbacks of the conventional rectovaginal neoplasty.

Objective To investigate the immune tolerance in animal models of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) by determining the cell proliferation and activation induced cell death (AICD).Methods C57BL/6 mice were injected with 5 mg/kg of polyI:C to develope PBC models. The lymphocytes and CD4~+ T cells were separated from spleens and livers 16 weeks later and were stimulated by M2, conA and anti-CD3 for cell proliferation and AICD. Expression of apoptosis related genes and proteins were detected by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting, respectively. Results ① The lymphocyte proliferation was 0.1988 ± 0.0111 in blank controls and 0. 2068±0. 0115 in PBS treated mice with no significant difference (P>0.05). However, an abundant lymphocyte proliferation was found in PBC mice (0. 358 ± 0. 022), which was higher than that in controls and PBS treated mice. The proliferation of lymphocyte from liver was greater than that from spleen in PBC mice (P<0.01). ② The apoptotic rate in blank controls (74.70%±4.58%) and PBS treated mice (74.20%±4.44%) was higher than that in PBC mice (44.85%±6.47%,P<0.01),but no difference was found between blank controls and PBS treated mice (P>0.05). Furthermore, the apoptosis rate of T cells from livers were significantly lower than that from spleens in PBC mice (P<0.01). ③ The expressions of FasL and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in PBC mice were lower than those in PBS treated mice (P<0. 01), but there was no change in expression of Fas was found. ④ The expression of Fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1-β-converting enzyme-inhibitory protein (FLIP_L) in PBC mice was higher than that in blank controls. Moreover, the expression of FLIP_L in livers was higher than that in spleens in PBC mice (P<0. 01). Conclusios The elevated expression of FLIP_L may inhibit AICD. Besides, the decreased expressions of FasL and TRAIL may also help in the enhancement of the anti-apoptotic ability in lymphocytes and in the aggravation of portal area inflammation.
