    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :In experimental small bowel obstruction an increased proportion of smooth endoplasmic reticulum and an increased number of lysosomes were seen in many liver cells. The occurrence of cytoplasmic vacuoles as well as the glycogen depletion were not pathognomonic and in the toxic pathogenesis the ultrastructural damage in the liver was only of a low degree and can be explained as a reactive (e.g. detoxication) phenomenon. The increase of plasma corticosterone content (stress reaction) differed only slightly from that of the controls, but a severe disturbance of fluid balance (increase of hematocrit and decrease of serum Na+ and C1-) and circulation failure were the more conspicuous findings, compared to toxic liver cell disturbance in the pathogenesis of small bowel obstruction.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: PROBLEM:We investigated whether deranged nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) expression is detectable in the stenotic segments of patients with congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction. METHODS:Using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), we quantified mRNA amounts of NPY, neuronal (n), endothelial (e) and inducible (i) NOS in the stenotic segments of 20 patients with congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction (aged 5.1+/-7.0 years) and of 21 unaffected controls (aged 23.5+/-24.2 years). Additionally, mRNAs of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), smooth muscle alpha-actin (Smactin), endothelial cell marker (CD31), and protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) were evaluated. Immunohistochemistry was made for NPY, nNOS, eNOS, iNOS, PGP 9.5, and CD 31. RESULTS:The mRNA of nNOS was significantly reduced in the obstructed junctions when related to the mRNAs of Smactin (P < 0.001) or GAPDH (P < 0.05), respectively. A significant reduction was also obtained for eNOS mRNA when standardized to CD31 (P < 0.05), GAPDH or Smactin mRNA (P < 0.05, and P < 0.001, respectively). NPY, PGP 9.5 and iNOS mRNAs were found in comparable quantities in both groups. In the stenotic segments, Smactin mRNA level was about twofold higher than in our control specimens, as shown by the lower CT values for the patients in real-time PCR (16.9+/-2.0 vs 17.9+/-2.6, P < 0.05). Furthermore, Smactin, nNOS, iNOS, eNOS, and NPY mRNA levels in specimens of unaffected ureteropelvic junctions were independent of age. Major differences between control and stenotic tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry: There was a dramatic reduction of innervation density as evidenced by nNOS and NPY labeling. CONCLUSION:Taken together, we found alterations in NOS gene expression and NPY innervation in tissue specimens of patients with congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The effects of variation in speaking rate on relative nasal airflow (percent nasal flow) and on the perception of nasality were examined. In addition, the effects of gender and speech rate elicitation techniques (metronome-controlled, self-controlled) were examined. Nineteen normal speakers each produced a stimulus phrase containing nonnasal sounds. Oral and nasal airflows were measured using the Rothenberg aerodynamic system. Results indicated that percent nasal flow and perception of nasality were both greater at slow speaking rates compared to normal and fast rates. Males were perceived as more nasal than females. The metronome-controlled rates were associated with greater nasality than the self-controlled rates. Discussion focuses on physiological correlates to these findings.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: BACKGROUND/AIMS:Few studies have compared endoscopic biliary stenting and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage for preoperative biliary drainage in patients with malignant distal biliary obstruction. We aimed to evaluate their safety and efficacy in such patients awaiting pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODOLOGY:Seventy-six of 80 patients (40 with pancreatic cancer, 26 with distal bile duct cancer, and 14 with ampullary cancer) who underwent endoscopic preoperative biliary drainage were included, and we evaluated whether endoscopic biliary stenting or endoscopic nasobiliary drainage provided a safer and more effective drainage for patients awaiting pancreaticoduodenectomy. We also determined whether the type of cancer influenced tube dysfunction. RESULTS:No significant differences in the overall rate of catheter-related complications, the rate of tube dysfunction, or the median interval from preoperative biliary drainage to the time of tube dysfunction were observed between the two groups. Tube dysfunction was observed significantly more frequently in patients with pancreatic cancer than in those with distal bile duct or ampullary cancer. CONCLUSIONS:Both endoscopic biliary stenting and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage provided safe and effective drainage for patients awaiting pancreaticoduodenectomy. Tube dysfunction was associated with preoperative biliary drainage significantly earlier in patients with pancreatic cancer than in those with distal bile duct cancer or ampullary cancer.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: BACKGROUND:Presence of microvascular obstruction (MVO) derived from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is among the strongest outcome predictors after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to investigate the comparative predictive values of different biomarkers for the occurrence of MVO in a large cohort of reperfused STEMI patients. METHODS:This study included 128 STEMI patients. CMR imaging was performed within the first week after infarction to assess infarct characteristics, including MVO. Admission and peak concentrations of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), creatine kinase (CK), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) were measured. RESULTS:MVO was detected in 69 patients (54%). hs-cTnT, CK, hs-CRP, LDH, AST and ALT peak concentrations showed similar prognostic value for the prediction of MVO (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.77, 0.77, 0.68, 0.79, 0.78 and 0.73, all p > 0.05), whereas the prognostic utility of NT-proBNP was weakly lower (AUC = 0.64, p < 0.05). Combination of these biomarkers did not increase predictive utility compared to hs-cTnT alone (p = 0.349). CONCLUSIONS:hs-cTnT, CK, hs-CRP, LDH, AST and ALT peak concentrations provided similar prognostic value for the prediction of MVO. The prognostic utility of NT-proBNP was lower. Combining these biomarkers could not further improve predictive utility compared to hs-cTnT alone.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :We investigated the relationship between the reversibility of airflow limitation, the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) in exhaled air, and the inflammatory cells in the sputum of patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We examined nine normal healthy control subjects and 20 nonatopic patients with COPD. Ten patients had no reversibility of airflow limitation (increase in FEV(1) of < 12% and < 200 ml after 200 microg of inhaled salbutamol), and 10 patients had partial reversibility of airflow limitation (increase in FEV(1) of < 12% but > 200 ml after 200 microg of inhaled salbutamol). Exhaled NO levels were higher in COPD patients with partial reversibility of airflow limitation than in those with no reversibility of airflow limitation (median 24 [interquartile range 15.3 to 32] ppb versus 8.9 [4.6 to 14.7] ppb; p < 0.01). Compared with healthy control subjects, only COPD patients with partial reversibility of airflow limitation had increased concentrations of sputum eosinophils. We conclude that, in patients with stable COPD, even a partial bronchodilator response to inhaled salbutamol is associated with increased exhaled NO and sputum eosinophilia, suggesting that these patients may have a different response to treatment than do those without reversible airflow limitation.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: OBJECTIVE:To report our experience with TURED in infertile men with EDO associated with abnormal development of the mesonephric or Wolffian duct, causing a contemporary malformation of the ipsilateral upper urinary tract. DESIGN:Retrospective clinical study. SETTING:Infertile men in an hospital environment. PATIENT(S):Seven patients affected by Zinner syndrome, from March to September 2005, were selected. INTERVENTION(S):Underwent TURED. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Semen analysis, endocrine profile, transrectal ultrasonography and seminal vesicles aspiration, excretory urography, computerized tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULT(S):Before surgery, the patients experienced a decreased intensity and force of ejaculation and a low motile sperm count. The detection of the ipsilateral upper urinary tract malformation by the patients was incidental. After surgery, all patients reported having a projectile ejaculation, an increase in the average postoperative volume, and of the total motile sperm count. CONCLUSION(S):A seminal vesicle cyst combined with ipsilateral renal agenesis, described as Zinner syndrome, is a rare urological anomaly. It is frequently asymptomatic or else characterized by infertility, symptoms of bladder irritation, or pain in the scrotum and perineum. In selected patients, TURED can improve semen quality with subsequent ability to impregnate. The upper urinary tract malformation should be treated in symptomatic cases only.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: PURPOSE:Partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO) results in marked biochemical alterations in the bladder. In this study, we focused on comparison of thapsigargin sensitive sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase activity (SERCA) and Citrate Synthase after short term PBOO in young versus old rabbits. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A total of 20 young and 20 mature male rabbits were divided into 4 sub-groups of 5 rabbits each (4 obstructed and 1 sham-control rabbit). The rabbits in the groups were evaluated after 1, 3, 7, and 14 days of obstruction, respectively. The activities of SERCA and citrate synthase were examined as markers for sarcoplasmic reticular calcium storage and release and mitochondrial function, respectively. RESULTS:The SERCA activity of bladder body smooth muscle in the young animals increased at 7 and 14 days. For the old rabbits, the SERCA activity decreased significantly by 1 day and remained this level throughout the course of obstruction, and was significantly lower than young at all time periods. The citrate synthase activity in the young animals decreased over the 1-7 days, and then returned toward control level by 14 days following obstruction. In the old animals, citrate synthase activity of bladder body smooth muscle progressively decreased over the course of the study, and was significantly lower in the old than the young animals after 14 days obstructed. CONCLUSION:The urinary bladders of the young rabbits have a considerable greater ability to adapt to PBOO than do those of the old rabbits. The deterioration of mitochondrial and SR function may be important mechanisms underlying geriatric voiding dysfunction.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Uncovering new therapeutic targets for renal fibrosis holds promise for the treatment of chronic kidney diseases. Bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) protein inhibitors have been shown to effectively ameliorate pathological fibrotic responses. However, the pharmacological effects and underlying mechanisms of these inhibitors in renal fibrosis remain elusive. In this study, we determined that the inhibition of Brd4, a BET family member, with a selective potent chemical inhibitor, JQ1, could prevent the development of renal fibrosis and block the progression of fibrosis in rats that have undergone unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Inhibiting Brd4 with either JQ1 or genetic knockdown resulted in decreased expression of fibrotic genes such as α-smooth muscle actin, collagen IV and fibronectin both in UUO-induced fibrosis and upon TGF-β1 stimulation in HK-2 cells. Brd4 inhibition also suppressed the oxidative stress induced by UUO in vivo or by TGF-β1 in HK-2 cells. Moreover, Nox4, which is constitutively active in renal cells and is involved in the generation of hydrogen peroxide, was up-regulated during UUO-mediated fibrosis and induced by TGF-β1 in HK-2 cells, and this up-regulation could be blunted by Brd4 inhibition. Consistently, Nox4-mediated ROS generation and fibrotic gene expression were attenuated upon Brd4 inhibition. Further, the transcriptional activity of Nox4 was suppressed by JQ1 or siRNA against Brd4. Additionally, Smad3 and ERK1/2 phosphorylation, which are upstream signals of Nox4 expression, were inhibited both in JQ1-administered UUO rats and Brd4-inhibited HK-2 cells. In conclusion, these results indicated that the inhibition of Brd4 might protect against renal fibrosis by blocking the TGF-β-Nox4-ROS-fibrosis axis, suggesting that Brd4 could be a promising therapeutic target.
    背景与目标: : 发现肾脏纤维化的新治疗靶点有望治疗慢性肾脏疾病。溴结构域和末端外 (BET) 蛋白抑制剂已被证明可以有效改善病理性纤维化反应。然而,这些抑制剂在肾纤维化中的药理作用和潜在机制仍然难以捉摸。在这项研究中,我们确定BET家族成员Brd4与选择性强效化学抑制剂JQ1的抑制作用可以防止发生单侧输尿管梗阻 (UUO) 的大鼠肾脏纤维化的发展并阻断纤维化的进展。在UUO诱导的纤维化和TGF-β1刺激HK-2细胞中,用JQ1或基因敲除抑制Brd4导致纤维化基因如 α-平滑肌肌动蛋白,ⅳ 型胶原和纤连蛋白的表达降低。Brd4抑制也抑制了UUO在体内或TGF-β1在HK-2细胞中诱导的氧化应激。此外,Nox4在肾细胞中具有组成性活性并参与过氧化氢的产生,在UUO介导的纤维化过程中被上调,并由TGF-β1在HK-2细胞中诱导,这种上调可能被Brd4抑制抑制。一致地,Nox4-mediated ROS的产生和纤维化基因表达在Brd4抑制下减弱。此外,针对brd4的JQ1或siRNA抑制了Nox4的转录活性。此外,作为Nox4表达的上游信号的Smad3和ERK1/2磷酸化在JQ1-administered UUO大鼠和Brd4-inhibited HK-2细胞中均被抑制。总之,这些结果表明,Brd4的抑制可能通过阻断tgf-β-nox4-ros纤维化轴来预防肾脏纤维化,这表明Brd4可能是一个有希望的治疗靶标。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: BACKGROUND AND GOALS:Acute food bolus impaction is a common emergency in gastrointestinal practice. Management previously used the endoscope with an overtube to allow retrieval of the bolus per os. The push technique using air insufflation and gentle pressure on the bolus provides an alternative approach. Esophageal mucosal biopsy at the time of the initial endoscopy has not been a part of traditional practice. In view of the increasing recognition of eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) as a cause of dysphagia and food bolus obstruction in adults the etiology needs to be reassessed. STUDY:Forty-three consecutive adults presenting with acute dysphagia secondary to food bolus obstruction of the esophagus were studied. The bolus was advanced into the stomach with the push technique or removed per os with a retrieval net. Protocol biopsies from the proximal and distal esophagus were obtained in 29 patients. Biopsies were contraindicated or not obtained in the remainder. RESULTS:Forty-one patients were successfully treated at endoscopy. Two subjects with a food bolus impacted at the crico-pharyngeal region required general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation for safe removal. Of 29 patients biopsied, 15 had peptic esophageal stricture as the cause. Fourteen patients (all males, mean age 32 y, range 19 to 62 y) had EE identified histologically. This represents 50% of those biopsied. Patients with EE had typical endoscopic features of linear furrows, mucosal rings, or narrow bore esophagus. Most had prior episodes of food bolus obstruction. CONCLUSIONS:Food bolus obstruction can be safely managed by the push technique. EE is an important cause of food bolus obstruction that can be suspected on history and endoscopic appearance and confirmed on histology.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: UNLABELLED:Renal fibrosis is a common consequence of unilateral ureteral obstruction, which provides a useful model to investigate the pathogenesis of obstructive nephropathy and progressive renal fibrosis. Transforming growth factor (TGF-β1) has been recognized as a key mediator in renal fibrosis by stimulating matrix-producing fibrogenic cells and promoting extracellular matrix deposition. Therefore, considerable efforts have been made to regulate TGF-β signaling for antifibrotic therapy. Here, we investigated the mode of action of glucosamine hydrochloride (GS-HCl) on TGF-β1-induced renal fibrosis. In the obstructed kidneys and TGF-β1-treated renal cells, GS-HCl significantly decreased renal expression of α-smooth muscle actin, collagen I, and fibronectin. By investigating the inhibitory mechanism of GS-HCl on renal fibrosis, we found that GS-HCl suppressed TGF-β signaling by inhibiting N-linked glycosylation of the type II TGF-β receptor (TβRII), leading to an inefficient trafficking of TβRII to the membrane surface. Defective N-glycosylation of TβRII further suppressed the TGF-β1-binding to TβRII, thereby decreasing TGF-β signaling. Notably, GS-HCl treatment significantly reduced TGF-β1-induced up-regulation of Smad2/3 phosphorylation and transcriptional activity in vivo and in vitro. Taken together, GS-HCl-mediated regulation of TGF-β signaling exerted an antifibrotic effect, thereby ameliorating renal fibrosis. Our study suggests that GS-HCl would be a promising agent for therapeutic intervention for preventing TGF-β1-induced renal fibrosis in kidney diseases. KEY MESSAGE:Glucosamine-mediated attenuation of TGF-β signaling ameliorates renal fibrosis in vivo TGF-β1-induced fibrogenic action is reduced by glucosamine in vitro N-glycosylation of the type II TGF-β receptor is suppressed by glucosamine Glucosamine-induced defective N-glycosylation of TβRII decreases TGF-β signaling.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: BACKGROUND:Acute dysfunction of mechanical aortic valve prostheses is a life-threatening adverse event. Pannus overgrowth, which is fibroelastic hyperplasia originating from the periannular area, is one cause of dysfunction. The aim of this study was to determine the annual incidence of readmittance resulting from acute obstruction caused by pannus during 30 years of observation in patients with Medtronic-Hall aortic valve prostheses and to analyze the risk factors associated with pannus development. METHODS:From 1982 to 2004, 1,187 patients in our department underwent aortic valve replacement with Medtronic-Hall mechanical monoleaflet valve prostheses. As of December 31, 2012, 27 of these patients (2.3%) had presented with acute valve dysfunction caused by pannus obstruction. RESULTS:The annual incidence of pannus was 0.7 per 1,000. The median time from the primary operation to prosthetic dysfunction was 11.1 years (range, 1.2 to 26.8 years). Of the 20 patients who underwent reoperation, 2 died. Seven patients died before reoperation. Women had a higher risk for the development of obstructing pannus, and patients with pannus obstruction were younger. Valve size was not an independent risk factor. CONCLUSIONS:Women and younger patients are at higher risk for pannus development. When acute dysfunction by pannus is suspected in a mechanical aortic valve, an immediate echocardiogram and an emergency aortic valve replacement should be carried out because of the potential of a fatal outcome.
