胰腺癌病人肠道通透性改变及其与机体组成的关系

目的:观察胰腺癌病人肠道通透性与机体组成的改变,并初步探讨两者间的关系.方法:以前瞻、随机和对照的方法,选取确诊胰腺癌首次入院的病人及健康志愿者各15例,作为试验组和对照组,测定尿乳果糖/甘露醇(L/M)比值、血清肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和机体组成成分,并对试验组的肠道通透性L/M比值与血清TNF-α水平、机体组成之间的相关性进行分析.结果:①试验组尿L/M比值为0.331±0.343显著高于对照组0.129±0.136(P《0.05);血清TNF-α水平显著高于对照组(P《0.05).②试验组肌肉群重量显著低于对照组(P《0.05)、蛋白质重量极显著低于对照组(P《0.01)、而脂肪、水分、无机盐重量略轻于对照组,两组间差异无显著性意义.③试验组尿L/M比值与血清TNF-α水平呈极显著性正相关(P《0.01);尿L/M比值与蛋白质、脂肪呈极显著性负相关(P《0.01),与水分呈极显著性正相关(P《0.01);而试验组血清TNF-α浓度与蛋白质、脂肪呈极显著性负相关(P《0.01)、与水分呈极显著性正相关(P《0.01).结论:胰腺癌病人肠道的通透性增加,机体组成有显著改变,两者间密切相关.这可能与血清TNF-α水平的升高有关.     

气相色谱用于肠通透性监测的研究

作者采用国产气相色谱及９２０２微机数据处理系统，对临床患者和实验动物肠通透性改变进行监测。该方法以甘露醇（Ｍ）和乳果糖（Ｌ）为探针，用气相色谱检测尿中糖分泌率及Ｌ／Ｍ比值。结果显示，测定标准品Ｍ和Ｌ随进样量增加而呈线性改变，与国外学者报道一致。比较不同浓度进口与国产乳果糖，证明二者在研究肠通透性方面高度相关（ｒ＝０．９９）。检测急性胰腺炎并发感染动物的尿标本，发现乳果糖大量排出，Ｌ／Ｍ值明显增加。作者认为，气相色谱为一行之有效的方法用于肠通透性监测，有助于临床上对内源性感染及脓毒症的早期诊断。     

Compartment syndrome. Exclusively the result of increased pressure in the muscular compartment?

Summary The compartment syndrome (cs) is characterized by an increased tissue pressure in a limited space. Pathophysiologically, it is a multifactorial disease that is potentially induced by an initial trauma and develops according to the existence of cofactors. Cofactors are, for instance, the circulation of the patient and the initial treatment of the impending cs. In particular, the microcirculation is altered with endothelial destruction, development of a capillary leak, protein loss from intravasal space and the development of an interstitial and intracellular third space. An impaired drainage of the lymphatic and venous system causes a venous infarction. An arterial infarction results if the tissue pressure exceeds the arteriolar pressure. An accompanying ischemia reperfusion mechanism increases the trauma load. In disadvantageous cases, the patients are in danger of developing a multi-organ deficiency syndrome (MODS) by an uncontrolled inflammatory reaction, by intravasal volume loss and by a myonephropathic systemic reaction. Clinically, the patients suffer a disproportionate amount of pain, followed by neurological signs. Especially in noncompliant patients, tissue pressure measurement is useful. Resuscitation of the circulation as well as splitting of casts is important. In case of a manifest cs, dermatofasciotomy has to be performed as an emergency operation. Even if cs is diagnosed early and fasciotomy is carried out early, the development of sequellae cannot be avoided in every single case.

Adenosine protects ultrastrueture of isolated rat lungs against fat emulsion injury

In isolated rat lungs subjected to fat emulsion damage, a model simulating adult respiratory distress syndrome, we have previously reported that adenosine (ADO) reduces pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and the fluid filtration rate (FFR). In the present study the aim was to examine morphologically this effect of ADO. Two groups of isolated rat lungs were subjected to the injury. Marked and significant differences were found between the groups; in lungs not given ADO, FFR and airway pressure were higher and, as evaluated by electron microscopy, the endothelial lining was thin and partly disrupted. The epithelial cells of the alveolar walls were also partly disrupted and the alveolar septa were split enclosing interstitial edema. In lungs receiving ADO from the onset of exposure to fat emulsion, FFR was lower and ultrastructure did not differ from non–injured non–treated controls perfused for the same length of time.     

直接甲醇燃料电池用阻醇质子导电聚乙烯醇-聚苯乙烯磺酸共混膜

制备了聚乙烯醇 (PVA)与聚苯乙烯磺酸 (PSSA)的共混膜 ,并研究了膜的组成、热处理温度、甲醇水溶液浓度等对膜电导率和甲醇透过率的影响。与目前普遍使用的NafionTM膜相比 ,这种由阻醇材料PVA与离子交换材料PSSA共混后形成的聚合物膜既能提高阻醇性能 ,又具有一定的电导率。一种以聚苯乙烯磺酸含量为 17%的膜 ,其电导率可达 3× 10 -3 S·cm-1,但甲醇透过率P仅为 2× 10 -8cm2 ·s-1。如果以σ/P为综合指标 ,则此膜的综合性能比NafionTM膜高约 4 0倍     

Effects of zymosan-activated plasma and phorbol myristate acetate on isolated, perfused rabbit lungs

The effects of complement activation on pulmonary vascular permeability are disputed. In rabbit lungs perfused with autologous blood, zymosan activated plasma (ZAP) induced a moderate increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), but did not detectably change the vascular permeability within 2 h. The stronger neutrophil granulocyte (PMN) activator, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), usually gave larger PVR increases and also increased pulmonary vascular permeability. Lungs from neutropenic animals, similarly perfused and given PMA, showed unchanged PVR reactions but had no apparent increase in vascular permeability. Lungs perfused with cell-free medium and given PMA displayed modest PVR increases, and no measurable permeability change. The lung preparatory procedure itself markedly influenced leukocyte circulation. Exsanguination of lung donors decreased the concentration of circulating PMN significantly, and they virtually disappeared from the perfusate within minutes after start of lung perfusion. PMN-mediated effects must therefore have been caused by cells already sequestered in the lungs. We conclude that ZAP does not induce an increased pulmonary vascular permeability in isolated, perfused rabbit lungs, in contrast to PMA. The permeability effects of PMA appear to be PMN dependent.     

羟乙基淀粉对内毒素感染大鼠肺部毛细血管通透性的影响

目的 观察羟乙基淀粉(HES 200/0.5)对内毒素感染大鼠肺部毛细血管通透性的影响。方法 雄性Wistar大鼠42只随机分为对照组,内毒素组(LPS,6 mg/kg),LPS HES组(HES,3.75、7.5、15、30ml/kg)及HES对照组(30ml/kg)。分别于LPS注入后4 h检测肺组织毛细血管通透性、肺湿干重比、肺组织中性粒细胞(PMN)浸润,2 h检测肺组织核转录因子kappaB(NF-κB)水平。结果3.75 ml/kg和7.5 ml/kg HES显著降低肺毛细血管通透性、湿干重比和PMN浸润(P<0.05),3.75、7.5和15 ml/kgHES显著降低肺NF-κB活性(P<0.05)。结论较低剂量HES具有抑制感染状念下毛细血管漏的作用,这种作用的产生可能与其降低肺组织PMN浸润、抑制核转录因子NF-κB有关。     

Does Fluid Flow Across the Intestinal Mucosa Affect Quantitative Oral Drug Absorption? Is It Time for a Reevaluation?

Purpose. Hydrophilic and charged solutes have a lower membrane permeability which is due to a lower partition into the lipid membrane (low solubility in the membrane phase) and/or a slower transcellular diffusion coefficient. They are therefore anticipated to be absorbed through the paracellular route, which is a consequence of diffusion and a convective volume flow through the water-filled intercellular space. Methods. Two approaches have been used to investigate the mechanisms underlying the paracellular drug transport across the intestinal mucosa: (a) including water transport by exposing the apical side of the epithelium with a hypotonic solution, and (b) stimulated paracellular transport by widening of tight junction and increased water absorption as a consequence of the sodium-coupled transport of nutrients. Results. Among the first studies that recognized this fluid flux dependent transmucosal transport of drugs, was one published by Oschenfahrt & Winne in 1973 and the one by Kitazawa et al. in 1975. During the last two decades the importance of this paracellular route for drug delivery have been explored in vitro and in situ. Conclusions. The limits concerning molecular weight, shape, ionization and the effect of physiological stimulants, such as luminal concentrations of nutrients, osmolality and motility, are currently under investigation. However, recently published in vivo human data by ourselves and others indicate that the promising results obtained in vitro and in situ for various hydrophilic compounds might not be valid in quantitative aspects in humans, especially not for drugs with a molecular weight over 200.
