METHODS:Bile was collected during operation through puncturing into the gallbladder from 122 cholesterol gallstone patients and 46 gallstone-free subjects undergoing cholecystectomy.Clinical data,biliary lipids,bile add composition, presence of crystals and nucleation time were analyzed. RESULTS:A subgroup of gallstone patients displayed a higher proportion of DCA in bile than gallstone free subjects. By choosing a cut-off level of the 90th percentile,a group of 13 gallstone patients with high DCA levels (mean 50 percent of total bile acids) and a large group of 109 patients with normal DCA levels (mean 21 percent of total bile acids) were obtained.The mean age of the patients with high DCA levels was higher than that of the group with normal levels (mean age:62 years vs45 years) and so was the mean BMI (28.3 vs.24.7).Plasma levels of cholesterol and triglycerides were slightly higher in the DCA excess groups compared with those in the normal DCA group.There was no difference in biliary lipid composition,cholesterol saturation,nucleation time or occurrence of cholesterol crystals in bile between patients with high and normal levels of DCA. CONCLUSION:Gallstone patients with excess DCA were of older age and had higher BMI than patients with normal DCA.The two groups of patients did not differ with respect to biliary lipid composition,cholesterol saturation,nucleation time or occurrence of cholesterol crystals.It is concluded that DCA in bile does not seem to contribute to gallstone formation in cholesterol gallstone patients.展开更多

METHODS: (1)NGVEV virions were purified by the procedure of treatment with chloroform and ammonium sulfate precipitation, dialysis to remove the sulfate radical and ammonium ion and separation by gel filtration chromatography, and SDS-PAGE. (2)Forty-2-day-old White Sichuan goslings were orally administered with NGVEV and 24 hr later 2 birds were randomly selected and killed at 24hr intervals until death occurred. Specimens(duodenum, ileum, liver, heart, kidney, spleen, lung, proventriculus, pancreas, esophagus, and the intestinal embolus) were taken until all birds in this group died and were sectioned and stained with hemotoxylin and eosin and studied by light microscope. RESULTS: NGVEV shared the typical characteristics of Adenovirus and which structural proteins consisted of 15 polypeptides. Necrosis and sloughing of the epithelial cells covering the villus tips of the duodenum were first observed in goslings 2 days postinfection artificially with NGVEV. With the progress of infection, this lesion rapidly occurred in the epithelium at the base of the villus and with infiltration of the inflammatory cells, the jejunum tended to be involved. With the intensification of mucosa necrosis and inflammatory exudation of the small intestine, fibrinonecrotic enteritis was further developed and embolus composed of either intestinal contents wrapped by pseudo-membrane or of the mixture of fibrous exudate and necrotic intestinal mucosa were observed in the middle-lower part of the small intestine. This structure occluded the intestinal tract and made the intestine dilated in appearance. The intestinal glandular cells underwent degeneration, necrosis and might be found sloughed into the lumen. Hemorrhage and hyperemia could be observed on the lung and kidney. Epithelial cells of the renal tubular underwent degeneration. In some cases, granular degeneration and fatty degeneration could be found in the liver and in some cases at a later stage of this disease the epithelial cells of trachea and proventriculus might be found sloughed. In some cases at an early stage of this disease, cardiac hyperemia and hemorrhage could be observed. Esophagus, pancreas and brain were found normal. Analyses and comparisons between the pathologic lesions of NGVE and Gosling Plague (GP) were available in this paper as well. CONCLUSION: (1)NGVEV is adenovirus. (2)Pathological characteristic could be as the data for NGVE diagnosis.展开更多
