We have measured the serum levels of total cholic acid (TCA) in 103 samples of obstructive jaundiced patients (OB group) and 83 samples of gallbladder stone patients without jaundice (control group) by enzymeconjugated colorimetric analysis method. The results revealed that TCA level was higher in OB group than in control group (Plt;0. 001) and had postive correlation with total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase in OB group (Plt;0.01 in all). The clinical value of TCA in obstructive jaundice in comparison with alkaline phosphatase is discussed.
Aippuric acid test(HAT) and hepatic energy metabolism and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation activity in rabbit with acute obstractive jaunidce was studied.The result showed that the HAT values were decreased from 98.4±32.0mg/h to 32.7±17.6mg/h(Plt;0.001),energy charge(EC) decreased from 0.81±0.01 to 0.72±0.02(Plt;0.001),and phosphorylation rate(PR)decreased from 62.1V5.1 to 38.3V2.4(Plt;0.001).Correlation coefficients between HAT and EC was 0.786,(Plt;0.001).This result suggests that HAT can be used as an indicator of hepatic energy metabolism status in acute obstructive jaundice.
Kupffer cell phagocytic function and plasma endotoxin level in 36 patients with obstructive jaundice were observed. The results indicated that kupffer cell phagocytic function was inhibited and the plasma endotoxemia level was markedly increased as compared with those in the control group Ｐ＜0.05 and Ｐ＜0.01 respectively. Kupffer cell phagocytic function were recoverd and plasma endotoxemia alleviated while the biliary obstruction was released by surgery.
Objective To investigate the changes and significance of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in intestinal mucosa in rats with obstructive jaundice. MethodsTwenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation (SO) group and bile duct ligation (BDL) group, and each group were randomly divided into the day 7 and day 14 subgroup. The expression of ICAM-1 was assayed by immunohistochemistry. The level of TNF-α was determined by ELISA. The activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and diamine oxidase (DAO) was determined as well.ResultsOn the day 7 and 14, in the bile duct ligation group, the ICAM-1 protein was mainly expressed in the intestinal epithelia and increased with the time on (P＜0.05); the level of TNFα increased from （14.25±1.01） ng/g to （23.83±1.43） ng/g （P＜0.01）； the intestinal DAO activity decreased from （1.70±0.36） U/mg to （1.22±0.41） U/mg （P＜0.01），and plasma DAO activity increased from （6.44±1.74）U/ml to （8.93±1.29） U/ml （P＜0.01）; the MPO activity increased from （2.85±1.22 ） U/mg to （4.93±1.37） U/mg （P＜0.01）. ConclusionThe ICAM-1 expression is significantly upregulated and the level of TNFα significantly increases after bile duct ligation, which may be involved in the PMNmediated injury to intestinal mucosa.
ObjectiveTo study the change and significance of the serum nitric oxide (NO) level in patient with obstructive jaundice complicated with renal dysfunction. MethodsThe level of NO, BUN, Cr in serum and the activity of NOS in 25 patients with obstructive jaundice and renal dysfunction and 26 healthy adults was studied.ResultsThe patients’ serum NO level and the activity of NOS were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01)，whereas the serum BUN and Cr levels were significantly higher than those in control group(P＜0.01). The linear correlation analysis showed that the serum NO had a negative correlation between serum BUN and Cr level (P＜0.01). ConclusionThe patients with obstructive jaundice and renal dysfunction may lead to the decrease of serum NO level. NO may have some protective effects to the renal function during obstructive jaundice.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo explore the effect of glutamine on immune function of rat with obstructive jaundice and its possible mechanism. MethodsFifty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: Control group (n=10)， obstructive jaundice group (n=20) and glutamine treatment group (n=20). The serum concentration of TNF-α, IL-10 was detected by using radioimmune method. Liver function was measured through automated biochemistry analyzer. The animal model of obstructive jaundice was established by ligating the rat’s common bile duct. Bacteria cultures were performed with the rat’s tissues of lung, spleen, liver and kidney respectively. ResultsCompared with control group, obstructive jaundice group showed statistically lower serum level of TNF-α, and statistically higher serum level of IL-10, TBIL, ALT and AST during the first and the second week after ligation of common bile duct. During the first and second week after administration of glutamine, the serum TNF-α of glutamine treatment group was statistically higher than that in control group and obstructive jaundice group. Meanwhile, glutamine treatment group showed statistically lower serum level of IL-10, TBIL, ALT and AST than obstructive jaundice group. There were statistically less bacteria translocations in glutamine treatment group than those in obstructive jaundice group. Conclusion Glutamine can increase the immune function by changing serum concentration of TNF-α, IL-10 and decrease the bacteria translocation.
Objective To research the changes in plasma endothelin, LPS, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 in the patients with obstructive jaundice (OJ) and non-obstructive jaundice (NOJ) after surgery. Methods The plasma ET, LPS, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 were measured in 15 patients without jaundice as controls. Results As compared with NOJ, the postoperative changes of ET, LPS, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 in OJ group increased significantly at multiple time points (P＜0.05). Conclusion There is interaction between ET,LPS, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 and damage to multiple organ function in patients with OJ after surgery.
ObjectiveTo investigate the change of renal endothelin (ET) excretion and its relation to renal dysfunctions in obstructive jaundice.MethodsSixty male Wistar rats were randomized into two groups, the common bile ducts were ligated to establish the model of obstructive jaundice in experimental group, and only sham operation was done in control group. Ten rats were taken from each group at 5, 10 and 15 days respectively after operation, renal functions were evaluated by paminohippuric acid clearance (CPAH), inulin clearance (CIN) and fractional sodium excretion (FENa+); furthermore, plasma endotoxin (EX) level was determined, and ET1 contents in renal arterial plasma, renal venous plasma and renal tissue were detected. ResultsOnly FENa+ was significantly increased at the 5th day in experimental group; since the 10th day, all the three renal functional parameters gradually decreased, and FENa+ was significantly lower than that in control group at 15th day (P＜0.01 vs control). ②The plasma EX sustained at significantly higher levels after operation in experimental group (P＜0.01 vs control). ③The renal arterial plasma ET1 was significantly decreased, while the contents in renal venous plasma and renal tissue were significantly increased after operation in experimental group (P＜0.01 vs control). ④There were positive correlation between plasma EX and renal ET1 content, negative correlation between renal ET1 content and CPAH/CIN, and positive correlation between renal ET1 content and FENa+ (P＜0.01).ConclusionThe increased excretion of renal ET stimulated by endotoxemia may play an important role in the renal dysfunctions in obstructive jaundice.
Objective To study the regulative effect of angelica sinensis on cellular immune function in perioperative patients with obstructive jaundice. Methods Fourteen patients with obstructive jaundice were injected with angelica before and after operation for 14 days. The activity of IL-2 and the expression of IL-2R in lymphocytes in peripheral blood were measured, respectively. Results The activity of IL-2 and the expression of IL-2R decreased significantly in patients with obstructive jaundice (P＜0.01). The activity of IL-2 and the expression of IL-2R in peripheral blood lymphocyte increased significantly before and after operations (after treatment using angelica) (P＜0.01), though there was a little decrease after operation but they were still higher than that befor using angelica.Conclusion It maybe useful to use angelica to improve the cellular immune function in patients with obstructive jaundice.
