Spontaneous gallbladder perforation—An unusual presentation of carcinoma of the pancreas

A 50 year old man with a two month history of upper abdominal pain and a one month history of anorexia and weight loss, presented with icterus and evidence of peritonitis. Laparotomy revealed biliary peritonitis which had been caused by a rupture of the fundus of the gallbladder. The common bile duct was dilated and there was a large growth in the head of the pancreas with multiple hepatic metastases. A cholecysto-jejunostomy and gastrojejunostomy were done and the patient had an uneventful recovery.     

Adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to cultures of human peritoneal mesothelial cells

Strains of Staphylococcus aureus, isolated from the effluentof patients with peritonitis on CAPD (continuous ambulatoryperitoneal dialysis), adhered well to both cultured human mesothelialcells and to fibronectin, but not to laminin or gelatin. Mesothelialcells grown in medium M199 exhibited more surface fibronectincompared to cells grown in MEM-Dval and demonstrated higherlevels of S. aureus adherence. Soluble fibronectin concentrations up to lOµg/ml increasedthe adherence of S. aureusto cultured mesothelial cells. Thedose-response curve was consistent with the binding of fibronectinto a saturable receptor of apparent dissociation constant (K_D)= 1.7xlO^–10 M. This corresponds closely to the K_D (2xlO^–10M) of the staphylococcal fibronectin-binding protein. S. aureus adherence was increased following the preincubationof mesothelial cell monolayers with interleukin-1 and was maximalafter 6 h preincubation. Treating mesothelial cells with interferon-gammafor 48–72 h reduced the adherence of S. aureus.     

Impaired cellular host defence in peritoneal dialysis by two granulocyte inhibitory proteins

Bacterial and fungal peritonitis is associated with a high riskof morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing continuousambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Impaired cellular hostdefence in the peritoneal cavity underlies this risk. Two granulocyteinhibitory proteins with a molecular weight of 28000 dalton(GIP I) and about 9500 dalton (GIP II) with homology to light-chainproteins and beta respectively, were isolated from peritonealdialysis effluents. In vitro, both granulocyte inhibitory proteinsinhibit PMNL glucose uptake, phagocytosis and intracellularkilling of bacteria. The IC₅₀ of GIP I or GIP II required forinhibition of half-maximal FMLP-induced or PMA-stimulated PMNLfunction was found to be in the nanomolar range, suggestingvery specific inhibition. These data may explain, at least inpart, defective local cellular host defence in CAPD patients.     

Evaluation of prosthetic mesh closure in semiopen-abdomen patients

Abstract Background. To avoid the adverse consequences of abdominal compartment syndrome and to reduce the high mortality the celiotomy wound in patients with abdominal sepsis was closed without tension using prosthetic mesh. This produces a semiopen situation that permits staged reinterventions together with the functional reconstitution of the continuity of the abdominal wall. Material and Methods. Twenty-five patients with intra-abdominal sepsis of various causes were evaluated retrospectively to assess the results of semiopen management of the septic abdomen and reoperations on demand in severe peritonitis. All of the patients were in a state of neglected peritonitis, and had at least one failing organ system. The Mannheim Peritonitis Index (MPI) scoring system was used for stratification of abdominal sepsis. Results. The mean MPI score of 25 patients was 24, ranging 10 to 33. Eight (32%) patients were reexplored (MPI=21). There were overall 9 (36%) complications in patients with mean MPI score of 23. Six (24%) mesh-related complications (infection and enterocutaneous fistulas) developed (MPI=19). The mean MPI score of patients without complications was 24. Four (16%) patients died with index MPI score of 26 due to fulminant hepatitis, myocardial infarction, and multiple organ failure. The admission period averaged 63 days. Conclusions. In 25 critically ill patients with abdominal sepsis the mortality was lower than expected, relative to heterogeneous data from the literature; also, major complications occurred less frequently although the mean MPI score was high. The authors conclude that this approach is a reliable contribution to the complex treatment of these patients. Electronic Publication     

Management of bacterial peritonitis and exit‐site infections in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis*

SUMMARY: Peritonitis and exit‐site infections remain the most important limitations to the delivery of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Contamination of the peritoneum, from endogenous or exogenous sources, is responsible for most peritonitis episodes. Patients usually present with a cloudy bag, although other causes should be distinguished. Clinical suspicion of peritonitis should be followed rapidly by microbiological examination and empirical treatment. Microbiological confirmation allows for subsequent treatment based on sensitivities. Other interventions such as catheter removal may be appropriate in some patients. Exit‐site infections should also be identified and treated early. Peritonitis may be further prevented by adequate exit‐site care, hygienic methods, and techniques to minimise early contamination of the exit site. Mupirocin may also have a role in preventing infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus.     

硬化性腹膜炎的动物实验研究

本文用大鼠建立持续腹膜透析（ＣＡＰＤ）实验模型，模拟ＣＡＰＤ中长期接触生物不相容物质所致的腹膜硬化关系。结果表明，乳酸盐透析液有较好的生物相容性，醋酸盐透析没有肯定的致腹膜硬化作用。单纯高糖高渗透析液也有致腹膜硬化的作用。若伴有细菌感染以及消毒液（如碘液）污染透析液，则可加重腹膜损伤和硬化程度，并对临床上防治硬化性腹膜炎的措施进行了探讨。     

The peri‐microvascular edema in hippocampal CA1 area in a rat model of sepsis

Encephalopathy is a common complication of sepsis. However, little is known about the morphological changes that occur in the brain during sepsis. In this study, fecal peritonitis was induced in Wistar rats, which had been monitored for 4 h before their brains were removed and samples from the CA1 area taken. In addition to higher blood pressure with a decreasing pattern and a significant drop in rectal temperature, an increased heart rate and marked respiratory failure were observed. The tissue was investigated and compared with corresponding hippocampal samples taken from sham‐operated and not operated control groups. Significantly more peri‐microvascular edema was found in the hippocampal CA1 area in the septic group. The percentages of the peri‐microvascular edema were 158.57 ± 3.6%, 122.84 ± 1.5% and 120.24 ± 1.9% in the fecal peritonitis group, sham‐operated and not operated control groups, respectively. The results may suggest that the edema observed around the microvessels may participate in the pathogenesis of the septic encephalopathy probably by causing in the microvascular permeability characteristics.     

Aspergillus peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis: case report and a review of the literature

Aspergillus peritonitis is a rare complication of continuousambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The case is described of a 68-year-oldman in whom Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated from the peritonealdialysate after recurrent peritonitis with Gram-negative rodsin association with diverticulosis. Treatment consisting ofremoval of the catheter and intravenous administration of amphotericinB followed by oral itraconazole was successful. A review of the sparse literature (12 cases) displays uncertaintiesregarding diagnostic awareness, culture diagnosis, and therapeuticmanagement. Next to institution of appropriate antifungal therapy,early removal the peritoneal dialysis catheter is recommended,as delayed removal of the catheter appears to be associatedwith increased mortality and morbidity.
