However, little is known about the influence of MLR on neurotransmitter expression in brain tissue. OBJECTIVE： To observe the effect of MLR on brain tissue injury by measuring monoamine and cholinergic neurotransmitter levels. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized, controlled, animal experiment was performed at the Institute of Microcirculation, Hebei North University, China; Research Room of Microcirculation and Laboratory of Biochemistry, Department of Pathophysiology, Basic Medical College, Hebei North University between December 2007 and March 2009. MATERIALS： Choline acetyltransferase （CHAT） and acetylcholine esterase （ACHE） kits were provided by Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, China; dopamine （DA） and noradrenalin （NE） standards were provided by the National Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products; HP1100 chromatograph of liquid was provided by Agllent, USA. METHODS： A total of 24 male, Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups： sham-surgery, MLR SMAO, and MLR ＋ SMAO groups, with 6 rats in each group. In the MLR or SMAO groups, the mesenteric lymph duct or superior mesenteric artery was blocked for 1 hour. In the MLR ＋ SMAO group, the mesenteric lymph duct and superior mesenteric artery were occluded for 1 hour, followed by 2-hour repeffusion. ChAT and AChE levels were measured using the synthesized and hydrolyzed acetylcholine method, respectively. Liquid chromatography was employed to quantitatively analyze DA and NE levels, using relative retention time and the external standard method. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： CHAT, ACHE, DA, and NE levels. RESULTS： AChE levels were significantly increased, but ChAT levels were significantly decreased in the MLR and MLR ＋ SMAO groups following 2-hour repeffusion （P〈 0.01）. However, AChE activity in the MLR ＋ SMAO group was greater than in the MLR group （P 〈 0.05）. DA and NE levels were significantly decreased in the SMAO and MLR ＋ SMAO groups （P〈 0.01）, while DA levels in the MLR ＋ SMAO group were less than in the SMAO group （P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： MLR exacerbated brain injury in a rat model of SMAO shock, which correlated with the intestinal lymphatic pathway. MLR decreased DA levels, but increased AChE activity, in a rat model of SMAO shock.展开更多

Delayed treatment often leads to serious consequences, including intestinal necrosis, resection, and even patient death. Endovascular repair is being introduced, which can improve clinical symptoms and prognosis and decrease the incidence of exploratory laparotomy. Many reports have described successful endovascular revascularization of embolic SMA occlusion. However,most of those reports are case reports, and there are few reports on Chinese patients. In this paper, we describe the technical and clinical outcomes of aspiration therapy using a guiding catheter and long sheath technique which facilitates the endovascular repair procedure.AIM To evaluate the complications, feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of endovascular treatment for the acute embolic occlusion of the SMA.METHODS This retrospective study reviewed eight patients(six males and two females)from August 2013 to October 2018 at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University. The patients presented with acute embolic occlusion of the SMA on admission and were initially diagnosed by computed tomography angiography(CTA). The patients who underwent endovascular treatment with a guiding catheter had no obvious evidence of bowel infarct. No intestinal necrosis was identified by gastrointestinal surgeons through peritoneal puncture or CTA. The complications, feasibility, effectiveness, safety, and mortality were assessed.RESULTS Six(75%) patients were male, and the mean patient age was 70.00 ± 8.43 years(range, 60-84 years). The acute embolic occlusion of the SMA was initially diagnosed by CTA. All patients had undertaken anticoagulation primarily, and percutaneous aspiration using a guiding catheter was then undertaken because the emboli had large amounts of thrombus residue. No death occurred among the patients. Complete patency of the suffering artery trunk was achieved in six patients, and defect filling was accomplished in two patients. The in-hospital mortality was 0%. The overall 12-mo survival rate was 100%. All patients survived, and two of the eight patients had complications(the clot broke off during aspiration).CONCLUSION Aspiration therapy is feasible, safe, and beneficial for acute embolic SMA occlusion. Aspiration therapy has many benefits for reducing patients' death,resolving thrombi, and improving symptoms.展开更多

While performing the graft replacement operation in such cases, if the collateral circulation supplying the gastrointestinal tract is well developed, it is necessary that this collateral circulation should be well perfused during aortic cross-clamping. A 72-year-old woman was admitted because of expansion of AAA. Computed tomography (CT) scan examination revealed occlusion at the origin of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the development of a collateral circulatory pathway via the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). During this operation, a vein cannula was placed in the IMA, through which blood was supplied with an extension tube for the protection of the intra-abdominal organs. The IMA was reimplanted after the graft replacement. Previous reports indicate that intestinal ischemia may be successfully prevented by supplying blood to the collateral circulation using various techniques. We report the surgical approach for treatment of AAA using a simple and convenient method to maintain intra-operative blood supply to vital organs.展开更多

The duration of hospitalization after surgery was significantly shorter in the E group (33 ± 2.2 d) than in the D group (51 ± 8.9 d) (P < 0.0002).CONCLUSION:Endoscopic examination of blood flow and edema in the remnant bowel is useful to assess the feasibility of early closure of enterostomy in SMAO cases.展开更多

The duration of hospitalization after surgery was significantly shorter in the E group (33 ± 2.2 d) than in the D group (51 ± 8.9 d) (P < 0.0002).CONCLUSION:Endoscopic examination of blood flow and edema in the remnant bowel is useful to assess the feasibility of early closure of enterostomy in SMAO cases.
文摘BACKGROUND Acute celiac artery(CA)injuries are extremely rare but potentially life-threatening and are more often caused by a penetrating injury rather than a blunt injury.The clinical manifestation of CA injuries is usually atypical,which easily causes missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.Currently,there are only a few reports of acute traumatic occlusion of CA.The CA artery gives off branches to dominate the liver,stomach.and spleen;however,occluded CA did not cause significant organ ischemia,and the compensatory blood flow from the superior mesenteric artery(SMA)played a pivotal role.CASE SUMMARY Herein,we report two cases of acute CA occlusion secondary to severe blunt trauma.Case one was a 19-year-old male,suffered from a motorcycle crash.He complained of dyspnea,and the closed drainage was performed soon after the hemopneumothorax was confirmed by ultrasound.Computed tomography(CT)scan revealed hemopneumothorax,multiple rib fractures,right scapular fracture,and liver rupture.Reexamination with contrast-enhanced CT suggested perihepatic fluid was significantly increased,and CA was occluded.Because the hepatic hemorrhage is associated with hepatic artery injury,the CA was retrogradely opened through the SMA,and then,the right hepatic artery was embolized with coils successfully through the conventional pathway.Stent implantation was not performed,and the CA occlusion was managed by conservative treatment.A follow-up CT scan 3 mo after discharge showed the origin of CA remained occluded.Case two was a 37-year-old man,suffered injury from fall from height.He complained of lower back and bilateral heel pain.Contrast-enhanced CT examination revealed multiple rib fractures,bilateral pneumothorax,fourth lumbar(L4)vertebral burst fracture,and pelvic fractures.Furthermore,a small high-density mass in a lesser peritoneal sac and in front of the abdominal aorta was detected.The reexamination 14 h after admission showed the CA was occluded.The patient was conservatively treated.The symptoms of nausea after meals disappeared about 4 wk later,and abdominal distension was significantly relieved after 6 wk.The abdominal CT angiography at 60 d showed that the CA thrombus was not recanalized.CONCLUSION Patients with CA occlusion will have different clinical manifestations,and the dominant organ will not have obvious ischemia.Conservative treatment is safe,and the patient’s symptoms will be improved with the establishment of collateral circulation.
文摘目的:探讨黄芪注射液对肠系膜上动脉闭塞性(superior mesenteric artery occlusion,SMAO)休克脂质过氧化损伤的防治作用及其机制.方法:经腹分离兔肠系膜上动脉并夹闭2h后松夹,复制SMAO休克动物模型,并于松夹前、后各15min分别将黄芪注射液1mL/kg以2倍的NS配制自耳缘iv,观察动物血压、血浆及红细胞膜丙二醛(MDA)、红细胞膜微黏度、红细胞超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、血浆黄嘌呤氧化酶(XOD)、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)及酸性磷酸酶(ACP)含量的变化;并进行小肠组织病理学检查.结果:与对照组比较,SMAO组血压和红细胞SOD降低(均P<0.01),红细胞膜微粘度、红细胞膜MDA以及血浆MDA,XOD,LDH和ACP的水平明显升高(均P<0.01),光镜下小肠病理损害明显.黄芪注射液治疗后上述各指标均较SMAO组明显改善(80.1±3.6 vs 39.4±5.2,4.63±0.57 vs 3.44±0.61,3.35±0.34 vs 4.09±0.38,0.23±0.02 vs 0.41±0.02,3.61±0.41 vs 4.32±0.92,71.4±13.1 vs 92.5±13.9,50.2±18.2 vs 105.5±37.0,37.0±11.8 vs 71.7±22.0,均P<0.01).结论:SMAO休克伴有氧自由基代谢紊乱,体内脂质过氧化过程加强.黄芪注射液通过抗脂质过氧化稳定细胞膜,改善红细胞膜微黏度,减轻组织损伤,延缓SMAO休克的发展.
