Combined laparoscopic and endoscopic treatment of perforated gastroduodenal ulcer using the ligamentum teres hepatis (LTH)

We propose a novel technique for laparoscopic treatment of perforated gastroduodenal ulcers. The principle of this procedure involves the closure of the perforated ulcer using the ligamentum teres hepatis (LTH). The LTH is cut near its umbilical end and then dissected up to the site of its hepatic insertion. The umbilical extremity of LTH is grasped with a Dormia noose passed through the ulcerated perforation via a gastroscope. Using the noose, the LTH is pulled through the ulcerated perforation until its volume fits and completely closes the perforation. This laparoscopic technique was performed in 15 patients (12 M, 3 F) with anterior perforated duodenal ulcer revealed within the previous 6 h. The procedure could not be performed in three cases: diameter of the perforation exceeding 1.5 cm (n=1), general purulent peritonitis (n=2). In the other 12 cases, closure of the ulcerated perforation with the LTH was realized without technical difficulty. The postoperative course was uncomplicated. The posttreatment comfort was excellent; the mean period of hospitalization was 10 days (range, 8–14 days). An endoscopic examination carried out following 5 weeks of anti-H2 treatment showed that cicatrization of the ulcer was good and that no pyloric stenosis remained. These initial results suggest that laparoscopic treatment of perforated gastroduodenal ulcer using the LTH is a simple procedure which can be performed with general assurance of success in patients whose perforated ulcers have occurred quite recently. As the laparoscopic procedure is less aggressive than a laparotomy, it enhances the postoperative comfort of patients and prevents the risk of parietal complications. Compared to laparoscopic endosuture this procedure is simple, effective, easier, and particularly adapted to large ulcerated perforation or when an ulcer's edges are tough or friable, tending to tear when knots are tied.Presented at the annual meeting of the Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES), Nashville, TN, USA, 18–19 April 1994.     

组胺H_2受体阻断剂对大鼠失血性应激反应时胃功能和溃疡指数的影响

用反射光谱法,研究了组胺H_2受体阻断剂Famotidine对急性失血大鼠胃粘膜血液量及血氧饱和度的影响。同时观察了胃液量和酸排出量的变化,并计量了溃疡指数。Famotidine(3mg/kg及8mg/kg,iv)对失血前大鼠胃粘膜血液量和血氧饱和度均未见有影响;对失血后胃粘膜血液量和血氧饱和度的降低有明显保护作用,对胃液量和酸排出量均有显著抑制作用,溃疡指数减小。     

Loss of differentiation in intestinal metaplasia in cancerous stomachs. A comparative morphologic study.

229 stomachs resected for duodenal and gastric ulcer and carcinoma were examined with special regard to the morphological and histochemical pattern of intestinal metaplasia (IM). The results of qualitative and semiquantitative studies were analysed statistically. Whereas duodenal and gastric ulcer cases are best discriminated by the presence or absence of IM, the strongest discriminating factor between carcinoma and gastric ulcer is the content of goblet cells in metaplastic crypts. Metaplastic crypts lined exclusively with goblet cells producing sulfated acid glycoproteins could be identified in more than one third of the cancer cases. The increase in goblet cells coincides with a loss of the more differentiated cells in the metaplastic glands, such as enterocytes, APUD cells, or Paneth cells. This "enterocoli metaplasia" seems to be specific for cancer bearing mucosa and occurs more often in cancer of intestinal type; it may represent a form of a derepressive dedifferentiation. The significance of enterocoli metaplasia as a premalignant lesion remains to be elucidated.     

The relationship between muscle kinetic parameters and kinematic variables in a complex movement

Summary Kinematic variables of the vertical jump (jumping height, jump phase durations and joint angles) were measured on 39 male physical education students. In addition, kinetic parameters of the hip and knee extensors, and of the plantar flexors (maxima voluntary force and its rate of development) were recorded on the same subjects, in isometric conditions. The results demonstrated significant positive correlations between kinetic parameters of the active muscle groups and jumping height (r=0.217−0.464). The dominant effect on these correlations was due to the knee extensors. Correlations between these parameters and the duration of the jump phases were much weaker. Correlation coefficients between kinetic parameters and limb angles in the lowest body position showed that fast force production in one muscle group was related to a significant decrease in the joint angles of distant body segments. Multiple correlation coefficients between leg extensor parameters and kinematic variables (ranging between 0.256 for the duration of the counter-movement phase and 0.616 for jump height) suggested that kinetic parameters could explain more than a quarter of the variability of this complex human movement. Therefore, the conclusion was drawn that an extended set of measurements of the relevant musculo-skeletal system parameters could predict a considerable amount of the variability of human movement. However, high correlation coefficients between the same kinetic parameters of different muscle groups suggest that not all active muscle groups have to be included in the measurements.     

Die klinische Relevanz der Sonographie in der Akutdiagnostik perforierter Gastroduodenalulcera

Zusammenfassung Anhand einer prospektiven, auslesefreien Serie von 22 Patienten mit perforierten Ulcera im Gastroduodenalbereich verweisen wir auf die begrenzte diagnostische Aussagekraft einfacher anamnestischer, klinischer und radiologischer Daten. Lediglich bei acht Patienten (36%) ergaben sich wesentliche Indizien aus Krankengeschichte und Aufnahmebefund. Bei 16 Patienten (73%) verriet die Thoraxübersichtsaufnahme durch Nachweis einer subphrenischen Luftsichel eine Perforation im Magen-Darm-Trakt. Die Ultraschalluntersuchung wird als bedeutungsvolle Ergänzungsmethode vor allem in der diagnostischen Abklärung radiologisch negativer Ulcusperforationen vorgestellt und diskutiert. Dabei werden die sonographisch faßbare flüssigkeitsbedingte Magendistension sowie das Magenwandödem als unspezifische Kriterien gewertet. Der Objektivierung einer pathologischen Magenkokarde kommt bei gleichzeitigem Nachweis freier Luft und/oder extraluminärer Ingesta sowie freier echoloser Transsudatflüssigkeit pathognomonische Beweiskraft zu. Selbige Ultraschallkriterien erlaubten im einschlägigen Krankengut bei 16 Patienten (73%) eine definitive Diagnose und erfaßte 4 Patienten mit negativem Röntgen. Die kombinierte Analyse radiologischer und sonographischer Befunde führte somit bei 20 Patienten (91 %) unverzüglich zur korrekten Diagnose.

Perforated peptic ulcer: Diagnosis and assessment by sonography

Summary In a prospective unselected series of 22 patients with perforated gastroduodenal ulcers the diagnostic efficacy of clinical and radiologic data was modest. In eight patients only (36%), clinical data yielded sufficient evidence; in 16 patients (73%), plain X-ray demonstrated subphrenic gas. Sonography was proven to be a major advance, especially rewarding in the diagnosis of perforations with negative plain X-ray. Gastric distention and stomach wall edema are unspecifc sonographic criteria, whereas objectivation of a pathologic stomach cockade in the presence of free gas, extraluminary ingesta or echofree fluid in the peritoneal cavity are pathognomonic data. These criteria yielded a definite diagnosis in 16 patients (73%) including four patients with negative X-ray. The combined analysis of radiologic and sonographic findings yielded an immediate correct diagnosis in 20 patients (91%).

吲哚美辛对乙酸诱导大鼠胃溃疡形成和愈合的影响

目的利用乙酸诱导大鼠胃溃疡模型研究吲哚美辛对化学诱导胃溃疡形成和愈合的影响,探讨其可能机制。方法雄性SD大鼠,体重160～180g。分两组,即单纯乙酸诱导胃溃疡作为对照组和乙酸诱导胃溃疡加吲哚美辛处理组,各时间点每组均8只。乙酸诱导胃溃疡后1、3和7d用RT-PCR和Westernblotting分别检测胃黏膜中环氧合酶(COX)和诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)的表达。用ELISA测定胃黏膜中PGE2量反映COX活性。同时研究吲哚美辛对iNOS表达、活性及胃黏膜损伤的影响,以溃疡面积来评估胃黏膜损伤程度。结果RT-PCR结果显示乙酸诱导大鼠胃溃疡后,COX2mRNA表达明显升高;以溃疡基底部为明显,3d最高,7d下降。胃黏膜PGE2合成也明显增高。吲哚美辛能抑制胃黏膜PGE2合成,处理组溃疡面积1d时为(52.6±6.1)mm2,小于对照组的(71.8±5.8)mm2(P＜0.05),且周围充血水肿较轻;3d时两组溃疡大小无差异,但吲哚美辛处理组溃疡基底部厚度为(11±0.5)mm,薄于对照组的(20±0.8)mm(P＜0.01);7d时吲哚美辛组溃疡而积为(35.4±3.5)mm2,大于对照组的(24.8±3.2)mm2(P＜0.05)。此外吲哚美辛能降低胃黏膜iNOS的表达及活性。结论吲哚美辛能减轻大鼠溃疡形成初期炎症反应,使组织免受进一步损伤,但使溃疡加深、延缓溃疡愈合。这一作用除和PGE2合成减少有关外,可能尚和抑制iNOS表达及活性有关。
