  • Experience on Emergency Devascularization for Treatment of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding due to Portal Hypertension

    Objective To explore and summarize the curative effect and experience of emergency devascularization for treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension. Melthods The clinical data of 42 patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension, undergoing emergency devascularization from March 2006 to July 2011 in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Results Of the 42 cases, 29 patients underwent emergency splenectomy plus esophagogastric devascularization, 8 patients underwent emergency spleen artery ligation plus esophagogastric devascularization, and 5 patients only underwent emergency esophagogastric devascularization. The hemostasis rate at 3 hours after emergent disconnection operation was 100%. One patient died of liver failure on 8 days after operation. Three patients supervened with hemorrhage in abdominal cavity on 2 days after operation, and succeeded in hemostasis by conservative treatment. Other patients were successfullydischarged from hospital after postoperative rehabilitation for 2-4 weeks. All cases were followed up regular in 1 year after operation, 5 patients were lost to follow-up. Among the 36 cases followed up, rehaemorrhagia occurred in 1 patientin 8 months after operation, cured by endoscopic variceal ligation subsequently. A primary liver cancer occurred in 1 patient during physical examination in 7 months after operation, followed by partial hepatectomy. Other patients could complete daily life and work. Conclusions The patients suffering from upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension are likely to benefit from appropriate operations. Decisive emergency devascularization can stop the bleeding rapidly and effectively, and save the lives of those patients.

  • The Role of Small Ubiquitin-Related Modifiers-1 in the Pathogenesis of Hypoxic Pumonary Hypertension in Rats

    Objective To investigate the dynamic expression of small ubiquitin-related modifiers-1 ( SUMO-1) in lung tissue in different phases of rat model of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension( HPH) .Methods Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, and exposed to normoxia or to normobaric intermittent hypoxia for 3, 7, 14 or 21 days, respectively. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure( mPAP) , right ventricle hypertrophy index ( RVHI) , and the ratio of the vessel wall area to the total area( WA% ) weremeasured. RT-PCR and in situ hybridization were used to determine the mRNA expression of SUMO-1.Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to determine the protein expression of SUMO-1. Results The hypoxic rats developed pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary arterioles after 7 days of hypoxia,with WA% and mPAP significantly higher than those in the normal control. Pulmonary vascular remodeling aggravated with much higherWA% and mPAP afer 14 days of hypoxia, and reached the peak afer 21 days of hypoxia. SUMO-1 mRNA and protein expression markedly increased after 3 days of hypoxia, and reached peak after 14 days. After 21 days of hypoxia, SUMO-1 mRNA expression weakened but still higher than that in the normal control ( P lt; 0. 05) , and SUMO-1 protein expression remained stable. SUMO-1 mRNA and protein expression were positively correlated with mPAP, WA% and RVHI( all P lt; 0. 01) . Conclusion SUMO-1 is transcriptionally induced in lung tissue under chronic hypoxia, and thus involves in the pathogenesis of HPH.

  • THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE AND PERIOPERATIVE TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH PORTAL HYPERTENSION IN SECONDARY BILIARY CIRRHOSIS DUE TO HEPATOLITHIASIS

    After analysising 15 patients with portal hypertension (PHT) in secondary biliary cirrhosis due to hepatolithiasis, the authors consider that the surgical procedure depends on indivedual’s specificity: majority of patients with PHT but no hemorrhage may be treated by removing the hepatobiliary stone, resolving the bile duct stricture and then reconstructing it as the first step. Whether or not to dispose of PHT depended on the postoperative condition. If the patient had previous hemorrhage and is accompanied by severe obstructive jaundice, splenectomy with shunt and simple biliary external drainage is the choice and removal of stone with biliary tract reconstruction will be performed in the second stage. Meanwhile, it is very important to monitor perioperative condition of the patient and treat the complications.

  • Efficacy and Safety of Latanoprost versus Travoprost for Primary Open-angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension: A Meta-analysis

    Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of latanoprost versus travoprost for primary open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OH). Methods All the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about treating primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension with latanoprost and travoprost were collected by searching MEDLINE, EMbase, OVID and CNKI. The assessment of methodological quality and data extraction of the included studies were performed independently by two reviewers, and the meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.0 software. Results A total of 13 RCTs involving 1 433 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that, a) At the second week, travoprost showed greater intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering efficacy compared with latanoprost (WMD= –1.47, 95%CI –2.62 to –0.33). At the first month (WMD= –0.50, 95%CI –1.52 to 0.52) and the sixth month (WMD= –0.12, 95%CI –0.85 to 0.61), the difference of IOP reduction between latanoprost and travoprost group was not significant; and b) The latanoprost-treated group showed fewer reported conjunctival congestion than the travoprost-treated group (OR=0.47, 95%CI 0.35 to 0.63). The difference in adverse events of eye pain (OR=0.55, 95%CI 0.27 to 1.12) and iris or skin depigmentation (OR=1.25, 95%CI 0.53 to 2.92) between latanoprost and travoprost group was not significant. Conclusion Latanoprost and travoprost are comparable in lowering IOP for OAG and OH patients. Latanoprost shows greater ocular tolerability with lower incidence of side effects as conjunctival congestion. This conclusion is not powerful enough in proof due to the medium methodology quality of the included studies, so a large number of high-quality RCTs with large sample are needed for objectively, entirely and precisely evaluating the efficacy.

  • The protective effects of heat-shock response on the retinae of rats after retinal ischemic reperfusion injury

    Objective To analyze the protective effects of heat-shock response on the retinae of the rats after retinal ischemic reperfusion injury.Method Twenty Wistar rats (20 eyes) were divided into 4 groups: intracameral perfusion group (group P), intracameral perfusion after quercetin injection group (group P+Q), intracameral perfusion after heat shock group (group P+H), and in tracameral perfusion after quercetin injection and heat shock group (group P+Q+H ). According to the standard program established by International Society for Clinical Visual Electrophysiology, we recorded the results of the dark-adapted electroretinogram (D-ERG ),oscillatory potentials (OPs),and light-adapted ERG (L-ERG) of the rats with intraocular hypertension after induced by heat shock response. The expressions of HSP 70 of the rats in all groups were observed by Western blotting.Results The expression of HSP 70 of the rats in group P+H was the highest in all groups, but the expressions of HSP70 in group P+Q and P+Q+H were inhibited significantly. The amplitudes of a and b wave of ERG and O2 wave of OPs decreased, and the delitescence of them were delayed significantly in rats after intracameral perfusion. The amplitude of b wave of D-ERG and O2 wave of OPs in group P+H were higher than which in group P. Zero hour after perfusion, the amplitudes of all waves in group P+H increased significantly (Plt;0.05). Twenty-four hours after perfusion, the retinal functional resumption of the rats in group P+H was better than which in group P. In group P+Q and P+Q+H, the delitescences of all waves of ERG and O2 wave of OPs were the longest and the amplitudes were the lowest, and some waves even disappeared.Conclusions The heat-shock response may improve the recovery ability of the retinal cells after injury of ischemic reperfusion.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2003,19:117-120)

  • IntraAbdominal Hypertension and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome

    ObjectiveTo study the concepts and pathophysiology of intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). MethodsRelevant information was gathered from previous original articals,and by checking the latest issues of appropriate journals. Meantime computerised MEDLINE search from 1998 to August 2001 was conducted using the Medical Subject Heading and textwords “abdominal”, “compartment syndromes”, “intraabdominal” and “hypertention” and “pressure”.Then the literature in the recent two years about the advances of IAH and ACS were reviewed. Especially the concepts, pathophysiology and clinical application of IAH and ACS were mainly summarized.ResultsAkin to compartment syndrome, the pathophysiological effects of increased intraabdominal pressure developed well before any clinical evidence of compartment syndrome. These changes included ①reduction of gastrointestinal blood flow,②increase of respiratory airway pressure whereas decrease of pulmonary compliance,③decline in cardiac output but rise in peripheral vascular pressure,④oliguria even anuria,⑤increase of intracranial pressure,⑥decrease of hepatic blood flow,⑦decrease of abdominal wall compliance.ACS can be defined as dysfunction of various organs caused by a progressive unphysiologic increase of the intraabdominal pressure. Clinically the syndrome is characterised by inadequate ventilation, tensely distended abdomen and oliguria or anuria.Early decompression by simple laparotomy and delayed closure is the treatment of choice. ConclusionThe concepts of IAH and ACS have been increasingly accepted. They mainly affects the respiratory,cardiovascular and renal systems; secondarily affect gastrointestinal, central nervous systems,liver and abdominal wall. The reduction of cardiac output and pulmonary compliance are probably promoting factors inducing organ dysfunction.
