Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on intestinal bacteria and endotoxin translocation in experimental obstructive jaundice. MethodsObstructive jaundice rat models were made and divided into three groups: sham operation (SO) group, obstructive jaundice (OJ) group and obstructive with rhGH (OG) group. The number in each group was 20. The mice in rhGH group underwent subcutaneous injection each day of Saizen, with the dose of 0.75 u/kg, while SO group and OJ group received nitric sodium injection. All these maitained for 2 weeks, then the animals were killed and the endotoxin were determined by limulus test, and bacterial cultures of ascites, blood, mesenchymal lymph node, kidney, spleen and liver were made, and the height of villi and the thickness of intestinal walls were examined.ResultsThe value of endotoxin in OJ group was (0.77±0.03) u/ml, higher than that in OG group and SO group, while it was (0.40±0.02) u/ml and (0.33±0.03) u/ml (Plt;0.01). The bacteria translocation rate in OJ group was 58.8%, much higher than that in OG group, which was 10.0% (Plt;0.01). There was no difference between OG group and SO group (Pgt;0.05). Villi height in OJ group was (183.39±11.09) μm, and thickness was (255.62±16.58) μm. While in OG group was (237.52±13.65) μm, and (320.81±14.34) μm (Plt;0.01) respectively.Conclusion rhGH has significant effect on protecting the injuried mucosa barrier in obstructive jaundice, and can decrease endotoxemia and bacteria translocation.
ObjectiveTo investigate the role of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in the treatment of patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). MethodsThirty-eight patients with MODS routinely treated with antibiotics and nutrition support were divided into two groups: the rhGH group and control group. The rhGH group was treated by subcutaneous injection of 5 U rhGH for two weeks. ResultsOn the 7th day of treatment, the score of APACHE Ⅱ in the rhGH group was much higher than the control group, the levels of ALT, AST, BUN and Cre did not change much compared with the control group. The level of albumin in the rhGH group increased (P＜0.05). The stay in ICU, time of mechanical ventilation and hospital stay decreased compared with the control group (P＜0.05). ConclusionrhGH can effectively improve the pathophysiology of critically ill patients and has no side effects on the function of liver and kidney, meanwhile it can shorten hospital stay and decrease mortality.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of rhGH on hypoalbuminemia in cirrhotic rats after partial hepatectomy. MethodsThirty rats were randomly divided into normal control group (n=6), liver cirrhosis group (LC group, n=6), liver cirrhosis and hepatectomy group (LCH group,n=6), PN (parenteral nutrition) group (n=6， given PN after hepatectomy) and rhGH+PN group (n=6,given rhGH and PN after hepatectomy). Liver function and blood glucose were measured. The expression of ALB mRNA was detected by RTPCR. Liver Ki67 immunohistochemistry was studied. ResultsCompared with PN group, serum ALP was lower; serum ALB and blood glucose were higher in rhGH+PN group. The expression of hepatic ALB mRNA was higher, and hepatic Ki67 labeling index was higher as well in this group. ConclusionrhGH can improve hypoalbuminemia after partial hepatectomy in cirrhotic rats with partial hepatectomy.
ObjectiveTo study the effects of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on proliferation of human rectal cancer cell in vitro. MethodsThe experiment was divided into control group,rhGH group,Oxaliplatin (LOHP) group and rhGH+LOHP group. The double proliferation time of cells,cell inhibition rate,cell cycle, proliferation index (PI) and DNA inhibition rate of human rectal cancer line,HR8348,were studied by cell culture, MTT assay and flow cytometry on different concentration of rhGH. ResultsIn vitro the markedly accelerated effects of rhGH on multiplication of HR8348 cell line were not found: there was no statistical significance as compared rhGH group with control group or compared rhGH+LOHP group and LOHP group （Pgt;0.05）. The double proliferation time of cells was markedly lengthened, cell inhibition rate and the cells arrested in G0-G1 phase were obviously increased, meanwhile, the cells in S phase （P＜0.05） and G2-M phase and PI were markedly decreased and DNA inhibition rate was obviously risen as compared rhGH+LOHP group with control group or rhGH+LOHP group and rhGH group （P＜0.01）.ConclusionIn vitro rhGH does not accelerate the multiplication of human rectal cancer cells.
Objective To evaluate the treatment of surgery and high-dose corticosteroid relevant factors to prognosis in traumatic optic neuropathy. Methods Forty patients(40 eyes) with traumatic optic neuropathy were enrolled.Optic nerve decompression using transcranial approaches,sinus endoscopy and orbital-ethmoidal sinus rout were performed in 14 patients.Eleven patients were treated with high-dose corticosteroids (5 cases with 1 mg/kg dexamethasone,6 cases with 30 mg/kg methylprednisolone) and 15 patients received nonspecific management chose by themselves.The outcomes of visual acuity in short term and final stage were compared between surgery,high-dose corticosteroid and nonspecific treatment.Multiple variable analysis was done to determine the factors affecting the outcome of visual acuity. Results No light perception were found in 19 cases (19 out of 44 cases,47.5%),whereas visual acuity was light perception to 0.02 in 12 cases (30.0%) and 0.05 or better in 9 cases (22.5%).The odds ratio of high-dose corticosteroid to nonspecific therapy was 2.96 (P=0.0125).The final visual acuity in patients treated with high-dose corticosteroid were better than other two groups (P=0.005,P=0.023,respectively).The short term (within 3 days) effective rate was higher in corticosteroid therapy group than operated group (P=0.024).No light perception following optic nerve trauma appeared to be more danger as 2.14 folds (P=0.0349) than those with light perception or better in term of final visual acuity outcome. Conclusions High-dose corticosteroid may be benefit to traumatic optic neuropathy.The treatment in traumatic optic neuropathy using optic nerve decompression needs to be determined.No light perception at initial is an important risk factor in the outcome.

ObjectiveTo investigate the perioperative change of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and its effect on cardiac function in patients with rheumatic heart disease.MethodsFrom January 2018 to June 2019, 76 patients were randomly divided into calcium supplement group (n=39) and control group (n=37). Mitral valve replacement was performed in both groups with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Blood gas was measured immediately and every 6 h within 24 h after CPB. The patients in the calcium supplement group were given 1 g of calcium gluconate when hypocalcemia occurred, while the control group received no calcium supplementation. Values of radial arterial blood PTH and calcium ion (Ca2+) were measured in the two groups before operation (T1), at 30 min after starting CPB (T2), immediately after stopping CPB (T3), at 24 h after operation (T4), and at 48 h after operation (T5), respectively.ResultsThere were 71 patients enrolled in this study finally, including 38 in the calcium supplement group and 33 in the control group. The PTH values of patients in the two groups gradually increased, reached the peak at T3 time-point, then began to recover gradually. There was no significant difference between the two groups at T1, T2 or T3 time-point (P>0.05), while there were significant differences at T4 and T5 time-points (P<0.05). The Ca2+ values of the two groups gradually decreased after CPB, and gradually increased after blood ultrafiltration. There was no significant difference between the two groups at T1 or T3 time-point (P>0.05), while there were significant differences at T2, T4 and T5 time-points (P<0.05). The postoperative 24-hour values of ejection fraction (EF) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and the 72-hour total amount of epinephrine used in the calcium supplement group were (42.66±4.18)%, (1 881.17±745.71) ng/L, and (3.04±0.86) mg, respectively, and those in the control group were (40.76±3.39)%, (2 725.30±1 062.50) ng/L, and (4.69±1.37) mg, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in EF, cTnT and the 72-hour total amount of epinephrine used between the two groups (P<0.05). Values of PTH at T4 and T5 time-points were respectively negatively correlated with postoperative 24-hour value of EF (r=-0.324, P=0.006; r=-0.359, P=0.002), positively correlated with postoperative 24-hour value of cTnT (r=0.238, P=0.046; r=0.248, P=0.037) and the 72-hour total amount of epinephrine used (r=0.324, P=0.006; r=0.383, P=0.001).ConclusionsHyperparathyroidism occures after CPB, and calcium supplementation could relieve the hyperparathyroidism. Hyperparathyroidism may be related to postoperative cardiac insufficiency.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on reducing blood glucose level. MethodsThirty GK rats were randomly divided into SG group, sham operation (SO) group, pair-fed (PF) group, and blank control (BC) group. The changes of weight, fasting blood glucose, glucose tolerance (oral glucose tolerance test, OGTT), insulin tolerance (insulin tolerance test, ITT), plasma insulin, ghrelin, and glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) were monitored before and 24 weeks after operation respectively. ResultsFrom the 4th week after operation, weight gain in SG group and PF group began to decrease significantly compared with SO group (Plt;0.01). From the 2nd week after operation, fasting blood glucose level in SG group was lower than that in SO, PF, and BC groups (Plt;005), and the glucose tolerance in SG group obviously improved compared with preoperation and the other 3 groups (Plt;0.01). On the 6th week after operation, the insulin sensitivity in SG group obviously improved compared with SO group (Plt;0.05, Plt;0.01). There was no significant difference of insulin level between SG group and SO group (Pgt;0.05), ghrelin level significantly decreased (Plt;0.01) while GLP-1 level significantly increased (Plt;0.01) in SG group compared with SO group during 2-24 weeks after operation. ConclusionsThe effect of SG on reducing blood glucose is definite. SG can directly lower blood glucose independent with weight loss. Postoperative decreased ghrelin level and increased GLP-1 level may be its primary mechanism.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo explore the mechanisms of anabolism intensified by recombination human growth hormone (GH) on the basis of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) during postoperative in gastrointestinal carcinoma patients. MethodsNinety-four gastrointestinal carcinoma patients undergone operation were randomly divided into TPN group and TPN+GH group. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP were detected in the first, third, seventh postoperative day. ResultsThe levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP were significantly lower in TPN+GH group than those in the TPN group at the first, third, seventh postoperative day （P＜0.01）. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP were significantly higher at the indicated time of postoperative days than the pre-operative days in the two groups (P＜0.01）. ConclusionBy inhibiting TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP production in gastrointestinal carcinoma patients undergone operation and blocking high catabolism induced by inflammatory cytokines, GH promotes the synthesis of anabolism.
ObjectiveTo analyze the changes of perioperative thyroid hormone in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass, and to provide guidance for postoperative cardiac management.MethodsThe clinical data of 72 patients receiving cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass in our hospital from January to May 2019 were collected, including 35 males and 37 females, aged 19-72 (52.35±10.40) years. The changes of thyroid hormones before operation, 2 hours and 24 hours after operation were analyzed.ResultsThere was a statistical difference in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), tetraiodothyronine (T4) and free tetraiodothyronine (FT4) between postoperative 2 hours and preoperation (P<0.05). There was a statistical difference in TSH, T3, free triiodothyronine (FT3), T4 and FT4 between postoperative 24 hours and preoperation (P<0.05). There was a statistical difference in TSH, T3, FT3 and T4 between postoperative 24 hours and 2 hours (P<0.05). Postoperatively T3 and FT3 decreased, TSH increased and then decreased while T4 and FT4 were within the normal range. Repeated measures analysis of variance showed a statistical difference of time effect in TSH, T3, FT3, T4 and FT4.ConclusionPatients with cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass have different thyroid hormones postoperatively compared with preoperatively. T3 and FT3 decrease, TSH increases and then decreases, while T4 and FT4 are in the normal range. The results require further large-scale, multi-center, high-quality clinical studies to be confirmed.
